She must see more good sppointments ahead of her, Some real in ducement is needed to encourage people to enter the nursing profession, and to remain in it, something to work up to and worth striving for. The nursing profession cannot be ignored in this fight to improve the health of the nation, and it is impera- tive that it should be given its right status with other professions.

There will be nine highly important administrative posta at
