pervision and nursing. Second,detached buildings

In 1888, a Training School for nurses was inau-
gurated at the Hospital. The instruction from the
beginning was intended to cover both general as well
as speeial mental nursing. In 1900
of the school with the doneord District Nursing Asso-
ciation was established, and has proved of the great-
est benefit to the nurses. The practieal drill that
a nurse acquires in visiting the homes of the poor
and meeting the various conditions as they there
arise, the variety of experience received, is a most
valuable practical supplement to the hospital train-
ing. When the hospital building now in process of
erection is completed the nurses will have the added
benefit of modern hospital conditions and equipment
for their instructi
will enable them to put in practice what they have
bea taught in the class room and at the bedside, and
demonstrate their fitness for their chosen profession.
No nurse receives her diploma who does not satisfac-
torily perform the required two months district
nursing in the City of Concord.
