CHILDREN'S NURSE
REFINED PROFESSION
Duties of the Position Have Changed
from What They Were Ten
Years Ago.

eRecent wears have brought about many
Z changes in connection with woman :
work, but perhaps in no direction Is
the change so marked as In the positlon
held by the children's nurse.
Only n few years ago the position was
one of a purely domestic nature ofteh
involving mere drudgery. which any un-
educated and unframed girl could I'LL.
Lately peopIe have been brought to
realize that an enormous influence In
ba formation of the childs character
welded bv the nurse and they there
fore realize the urgent necessity OF nav
ing refined. properly trained and equip
peo women for the position.
The duties of the position. too nave
changed altogether from what tneS
were ten years ago. The world has, IN
deed. been elevated from mere drudgery
to a pleasant profession for the girl
who is fond of children.
, Work More Interesting.
The most vital change is in connec-
tion with domestic work. The child
nurse in other days was supposed to DO
much hard household work. Nov she is
expected to do very little. only such as
is purely consistent with her position.
But. while some duties OF the nurse
have been abolished, others have been
added-others, it must be admitted.
OF a much more interesting character.
II may he said that the keynote OF
the situation lies in the TACT that
whereas in former days the child
| nurse was purely nurse. to-day she Is
gOverness as well.
The great essential for any girl adopt
! ing the profession OF children's nurse Is
| that she must have great love for the
wee folk, to he able 10 enter into their
| feelings, to sympathize with their sor-
! rows and Joys. A child's nurse must not
| he a cynic. She must know the import
anCe Of little things TO children, must
know that the moe-hills of grown-ups
are the mountains Of boys and girls
Nowadays the chiIdren's nurse must bo
a comrade and compa anion as w"ll as
! mentor to her young charges, but the
latter role must meyer he overem-
| phasiZcd.
1t is well. too. for any girl desiring
| TO become a nurse Of this kind to 20
| somewhere and obtain the proper train
! Ing for the position. II is a big advan-
tagc when seeking employment.
| Briefly. the nurse of children must be
| able to superintend the children's health,
| their food. their clothes and their les
sons-nOt at all onerous duties to the girl
| who is fond of children.
