dodng what we used to do. Neither are wholly right or wrong. Through l the ages nurses have always been 1 connected with sickness. disease. ac- cident and death-not with life happi- ness and peace. They are satlated with war now They are just folks. like the rest of the world. but tbey must remember that while they have right to rest and recreation land pleasure. they also have certain def mite responsibilities to assume and | their own self-government to watch out for.
 We have got to make good. If We are going to be fitting followers or | Florence Nightingale and Edith Caveh. we must look into our souls with clear l vision-we must tell ourselves what we must do"
 Miss White then spoke upon the pro-
 Dosal to shorten the course for nurses in accredited institutions from three
 to two years. when they should be registered. after which they should
 spend a year specializing in such work
 as public health nursing. hospital ad-
 ministration. the giving of instruction

 Arizona is fortunate" she said. "in
 that it has only two training institu-
 tions for it is possible to keep these
 two up to a high standard, and to see
 that others which may be created are
 also made to measure up to the best It is the duty of Arizona nurses to see that this good beginning is not

The first thing impressed upol those engaged in the survey said tn II were of extraordinary help in the work was the ignorance apparent through out the state concerning actual condi \ tions In Florence the nurse who wa in charge of the survey submitted report to the city authorities and tn
