I ask your approval to the adoption of
the terms given above for future probationers and to my putting on those terms any probationers now under training who
are willing to accept them and who may be recommended to me
by the Principal Civil Medical Officer. I propose to limit the
establishment of probationers to five, the number at present
in training.

I also ask for a reconsideration of the
instruction contained in paragraph 2 of your Despatch No. 270,
dated the 9th. September, 1904, as regards Miss A. R. Allaway,

Apart from the fact that this instruction
conflicts with the proposals now put forward the Principal
Civil Medical Officer considers that difference in the titles
given to the Nurses sent from England will cause dissatisfaction among them. He points out that the reason why the title
of "Nursing Sister" has hitherto been used is that the persons
so designated have charge of wards with Chinese Nurses and
