That strutting and sane- timonious eighteenth cen- tury bully whom Hollywood showed you in the shape of Charles Laughton?
I only hope that, if we ever have a Lady Secretary for War or a First Pecress of the Admiralty, they will not spring from the same class of women who now control some of our hospitals.
Mutinies on the Bounty and In- vergordon Incidents would be week- ly occurrences if our soldiers and sailors were treated in the same way that the average British hospital matron treats the nurses in her charge.
JUST let me give you the verbatim story of a nurse -one who has nursed many great
men.
"I started at £18 a year when I was eighteen," she says, "I can't think why I did it, but I felt I want- ed to be a good women, and my parents encouraged me.

THIS nurse went on to tell stories (and she has told many ke them before) of mothers crying by the bedsides of dying children, of wives standing all night In corridors walling for news of their husbands, and families turned away from the door because it was live minutes past the hour.
She has told me stories of death, of suffering, of mental egony, and of great courage.
"I used to cry when I was young," she said, "but I got used to it, and then tried to be sympathetic in a sensible sort of way.
"But it is terrible when you have tried so hard to be, kind and sym- round and hear pathetic to turn awful things told you by the inatron, When I was twenty-five. I was treated by the matron of my hospi- tol as if I was a very naughty. Iltile girl in a Borstal school."
