their duty as Private Nurses necessitates a tour of service on the

Peak in these quarters.

10.

The 1st. Class wards are not in constant request,

and were there a sufficient supply of nurses available for patients in

their own homes, would be still less required; the proposal therefore

to sacrifice one of these wards, and thus avoid enormous outlay, until

the new scheme has been proved to be a success, appears to me to be a

sound one, and I trust will commend itself to you.

11.

I may mention here my belief that it will be

found practicable for the Governor in Council hereafter to raise the

scale of fees at present paid for Private Nurses, as if this scheme is

adopted, the subscriptions from members of the public would be done

away with

and the higher scale would therefore be willingly paid.

That at present charged for non-subscribers is quite suitable.

12.

I understand that the Government may be prepared

to accept the above scheme provided

to accept the above scheme that a guarantee is given for a certain

number of years against the Government sustaining any loss from such

a venture.

13.

With due deference I suggest that no such

guarantee ought to be required, for I would most strongly urge upon

you that the welfare of the mothers and of the children born in this

Colony is a matter of high importance and deserving of the utmost con-

sideration by the Government.

14.

No question as it seems to me arises here of

preferring one particular class in the community over another, because

the poorer Europeans in this Colony go as a matter of course into one

of the Government Hospitals, which are built and financed out of the

rates, and in which they receive every attention that skilled nursing

can bestow and everything they require.

15.

I fully realize that it would not be possible to

include the present Nursing Sisters at the Government Civil Hospital
