ABSTRACT
The object of schools for nurses is primarily to secure to the hospital a fairly reliable corps of nurses. If the nurse had gone into such a hospital as a philanthropist it would be different, but she went there for the purpose of acquiring a certain kind of education. The principal of a school for nurses performs the least part of her duty, and throws away many of her privileges, if she is content to confine herself to the limitations of her own particular school. She must look into and go abroad among other schools, and teach her nurses to do the same, recognizing what is good in others and being ever ready to adopt any improvement. As for private sanatoriums owned by private individuals, the nursing should unquestionably be done by salaried nurses who have graduated from some reputable school.
