THE INCOMPETENT
NURSE ONLY DOING
HARM AT FRONT

nursed today plaeard, said to have
been placed over the bedstead of SOL
der wounded in the South African CAM
paign, is much needed in British hospi-

Council of Trained Nurses, which has

the employment of incompetent nurses.
In acknowledgment of the resolution,
the secretary of war asked the council
to submit evidence in support of its
charges, and a report on the matter Is
expected shortly.
The professional trained nurses are
complaining that young women of means
and social influence, attracted by the
sentimental side of nursing at the front,
have stormed the hospitals and have in
many cases obtained positions notwith-
standing that they knew nothing Of the
work. "If Lord Kitchener had asked for
10000 nurses to enlist for service instead
of for 10000 men," said trained nurse,
'she would have had the number the next
morning"
Such being the case, according to the
rush of amateurs has pushed aside the
competent greatly to the misfortune of
the wounded Tommy who has to submit
to FLUSHING and petting at the hands of
pretty unframed girls, which. while
sentimentally appealing, does not go very
far toward ministering to his real needs.
The agitation against the incompetent
nurse was raised early in the war, but
only just now have the organized nurses,
numbering some 5000, brought the mat
ter officially to the attention of the War
