What the Law Allows: Concerning Trained Nurses

TIME profession Of nursing the sick, to
adapt the words Of woman who has
long stood at the very head of this pro-
fession, is suffering still from the traditions
of the ancient ''sisterhoods," where self
immolation and not usefulness was test Of
virtue. 1t is largely because of this idea, or
ideal, that nurses have been the last among
women workers to receive attention from the
lawmakers, whose business it is to see that
wage earners protected from the effects
of poor conditions and overwork.
The ideal nurse has always been the one
who satisfied sentiment-the one who sacri-
feed herself the most-the one who worked
the longest after she was tired, regardless of
whether she was really capable of good work
the one whose patience and sweetness held
out against the most discouraging odds.
Yet in California, in burst of common
sense achieved Immediately after the granting
Of suffrage to women, the Legislature passed
bill revoking the ancient custom Of keeping
nurses their feet twelve to twenty hours
out of the twenty-four, and gave them an
eght-hour day during their undergraduate
course in hospital training schools.
Pupil nurses in training schools give their
services in return for the instruction they
ccive, just as medical students do. But their
theoretical instruction is received mostly in
the evenings; and young woman who has
spent twelve hours actively working is not so
likely to get the best out of her studies as one
whose body is not tired out. Therefore 1t is
especially necessary that during their years
Of probation nurses should not bs forced to
New-York tribune., 1918-06-16

be deprived of the comfort of "seeing always
the same face" at the bedside. Yet presently
it became evident that seeing the same face
was not really so important having fresh,
unjaded mind and spirit behind the face
and soon hospital superintendent who had
opposed the movement because they felt that
It m enet problems fasd ana depicts
easier to get three nurses for eight-hour shifts
than two for twelve-hour shifts. And finally
they said that they wished they had taken
the initiative in the reform themselves instead
of having it forced on them by legislation.
The war is speeding up the solution of diff
culties in this field of work just as it is in
many others. The great need for nurses has
broken down the barriers which kept out
married women and fenced in the others with
rules, restrictions and traditions unworthy of
a girls boarding school, And now in New
nonresident course which does not require
nurses all to sleep under the same roof and
eat at the same board; Bellevue and Kings

Camping facilities are available for civic,
social and educational organizations. Applica-
ton is made to the Commissioners of Pail
sades Interstate Park, 81 Broadway, New
York City. The organizations admitted to
park privileges pay only the cost of every
thing done for them. The park camp depart
ment solves the problems of food, transpor-
tation and equipment Each society pays
rent based on the depreciation Of property
and per cent interest on the money ex-
pended in building the camp.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-16

County are training nonresident students on
a forty-eight-hour week schedule; and the
Presbyterian, Bellevue, City, Mount Sinai and
Postgraduate hospitals are all offering
to college women a course covering shorter
period than the usual three years of prepara-
ton.
In addition five colleges have established
summer courses in trained nursing-Vassar,
the Western Reserve University in Cleveland,
and the universities of Iowa, Cincinnati and
California. And the Red Cross has decided
to enroll nurses who graduated from regis
requiring them to pass an examination.
It is hoped that these measures will induce
not only girl graduates of high schools and
colleges to take up this vital work, but mature,
experienced women as we'll. Nursing as a
profession is subject periodically to avalanches
many social butterfly feels called to hold a
soldiers hand and smooth his brow, with a
minimum knowledge of what might really do
him some good. But after all, it is real job
"a job of life and death-and the only one
wherein the student is set immediately at her
life task and works at 1t from the start.
For those Of us whose profession is already
chosen along other lines, or who are unable
for other reasons to be nurses, there is an OBJ
vious way to help: Glasses in training schools
here in the city are not yet filled to capacity.
They cannot be filed until some aOay is found
to house the students. Last summer few
patriotic New Workers loaned their homes to
the Presbyterian Hospital for the use of the
nurses. Why should not many more who are
planning to leave empty houses and apart
ments in the city while they are away on va
cations turn over the keys to heads of schools
for young women who are training for the
most essential phase of war work?
We face at this moment no greater need
than the need for nurses, both hero and "ovsr

vice. She will in turn be visited in her home
and assisted with advice and practical help to
make the surroundings all that they should
be to insure safe delivery and healthy baby.
It is, too, one Of the aims Of this movement
ultimately to develop group Of competent
physicians to care for the 10 per cent of
mothers who have their babies at home, un-
aided by the hospitals. Medical fees should
be larger than at present, and the deficit be-
tween the specified fee and the amount the
patient is able to pay could be met by a fund
to be raised from private sources, by the
city Department of Health, or by system of
maternity insurance, such as obtains in France
and England.
In war time the lives Of babies and mothers
are the only ones that need not be risked, and
obviously the public health officials Of New
York City should take note Of this and realize
that money put into prenatal work and child
welfare is not money SPENT but money invest
ed, and bound to bring profit beyond measure
But the administration at City Hall is looking
so hard at the pennies spent for saving these
lives that it cannot see the dollars gained BY
saving them. So. until the women Of New
York can go to the polls and vote for tha
health and safety of children, there is nothing
to be done but give money and service to this
as to every other form of war work.
There is a field here for those who havs
nothing but service to offer. There is a field.
too. for women's organizations to follow ths
example of the Woman's City Club and sup
port each district or part of district. And
there is field for real political propaganda
which will serve to convince city officials that
although women voters may divide on prohi-
bition. tariff, capital punishment and labor,
the one point which they all unite is that
babies have the right to . healthy body ana
live mother if it is In the power of civiIix.-
tion TO give il to them.

The park camp department builds the
shacks. The same department supplies cots,
blankets and other equipment at much lower
figure than the individual societies could OBJ
tain by doing their own shopping. Every
thing is Of the best quality.
Food is, Of course, the big problem. Twelve
thousand loaves of bread, thirty-six thou
sand quarts of milk fourteen thousand eggs,
thirteen hundred pounds of butter were con-
sumed last summer. All the food is bought
by the park camp department by the carload
and boatload and sold to individual societies
plus 10 per cent to cover transportation and
other expenses. The only complaint heard all
last summer was from one young man who

Death of an Aged Lady

Mrs. Paralee Smith, aged 61 years died at her home at Cabot, Arkansas, at an early hour last Friday morning, February 25, after lingering illness brought on by a stroke of paralysis.
 Mrs. Smith was an old settler of the community and was well known to all the people in that section of Lonoke county and was liked by all who knew her.
 She leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn her loss, Lee Johnson of Hagen; J. o. Smith, of Cabot and Mrs. Harvey De wees of Cabot. Her remains were laid to rest in Mt. Carmel cemetery Friday evening in the presence of a nun Der of friends, who attended to show their last token of respect to all that was mortal of the aged lady.

It is to be hoped that some geod farming weather will pre- vail during February, so that the farmers may be able to SOW lot of spring oats. which will not amount to anything if they are planted later than the latter part of that month. If the weather is right every farmer should plant a few acres of oats, which will yield as well if not better than the winter variety if the ground can be put in good shape before planting.
