Steer Astray gthcse later years much on her mind. ' Need of the Age. Miss Nig tingale, looking upon the « "home" as the great unit or the nation. freels that the chief need of. the age is ;the intelligently managed. pure. clean ghome in which the men and women of gthe future may be reared, and regards f the district nurse as an important fac- 'tor in bringing about this condition. ! The district nurse meets the family on }thelr own ground. shows them in their that can be tested by examin tions, how much more true is it of medicine's sen'antâ€"nursing? Training -â€" silent thing training. as well as word train- ing long years of training , moral and . sympathetic. as well as physical train- ;ing in tact and sympathy; conduct training is necessary, and progress in training can never end but with a. :nurso’s ”life. A good nurse must be a ggood woman Wiih sympathetic insight. lShe cannot be a good nurse without." This woman. the pioneer of battle- field nurses. loves to have visits from nurses in the old uniform she knows so well. She begs them all to come attired in the nursing uniform. It is natural that in the evening of lite Miss Nightingale’s mind turns from the battlefield to home nursing. Not long ago she expressed the peculiar in. terest which she felt in the progress of district nursing. No class of work appeals to her more strongly. It was in the homes of the poor that some of her earliest efforts in sick nursing were made, when as a young woman of leisure she visited the cottages of her father’s estates in Derbyshire and Hampshir . At the institution of Kai. serswerth. too, where she graduated as a nurse, her attention was chiefly di- rected toward the care of the sick poor. Her earliest writings dealt with the same theme. The appalling condi- tion of the wounded in the hospitals of the east during the Crimean War sum- moned her to the care of the soldier, and for many years afterwards she made military hospitals her chief con- cern. But now she turns again to her earlier work, and the sick poor are in own home how they can be clean and orderly. how they can help in nursing their sick ones, the way to obtain offi- cial sanitary help, how to improvise ap- pliances. and often how to tide over difficulties and prevent their home be- ing broken up. To use one of Miss Nightingale’s expressive phrases. the district nurse can teach “Without seem- ing to teach, which is the ideal of teach- ing.” When she hears about the erec- tion of model municipal dwellings for the poor, Miss Nightingale invariably inquires, what effect they have on the habits of the people. She urges that the district nurse may be the medium for teaching the disorderly how to use improved dwellings, an important fac- tor in the struggle with what she calls “pauperized poverty.” In the early stages of her career Miss Nightingale laid great stress on the maxim that a “nurse is born and not made" and she has never flinched from that position. She holds that of all oc- cupations, nursing least lends itself to “formula” as it deals “with living bodies and spirits and cannot be formu- lated like engineering. or numbered and registered like arithmetic and popula- tion. It must be sympathetic.” The nurse’s art cannot be made a formula any more than the painter’s. “When the great painter. Fuseli,” as Miss Nightingale has instanced. “was er amined as to how he mixed his colors, he replied: ‘with brains, sir,’ and the good nurse, it she is asked how she nurses can often only answer: ‘with brains and heart, sir, and with training and parctice.”’ quiet 11: that has She is a almost \‘ is her w kles tha Cid fame. Treats the Person. Miss Nightingale’s view of the mat. ter may be illustrated by one of her own characteristic examples. “A great physician was heard to say. when ask- ed how he treated pneumonia, ‘1 don’t treat pneumonia. I treat the person who has pneumonia.’ If this is true in medicine. in which there is much She watches and is a clns of the Red Cr in the way ¢ day when she of heroic nur help the dyin Miss Nightingale has always fear- ed a danger that the office of nurse may be magnified until the proper line of demarcation between nurses and the medical faculty is lost. To use her own terse phrase. “a nurse should be a nurse, not a medical woman." and any test 0f study which loses sight of this seems antagonistic to her concep- tion of a. nurse’s vocation. “The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses.” says Miss Nightin- gale. “is to teach them what to ob- serve. how to observe and how accur- ately to state the result of observation." A patient’s life may hang on the re- port which the nurse gives to the doc- tor. and while text-books may help with knowledge they cannot supply the place of the observant eye. and the quality of observation cannot be ade- quately tested by ability to pass a technical examination. In a mass-80 sent some little time ago to a garden Miss terest i party of nurses at her old home, Lea Hurst. Derbyshire, Miss Nightingale touched indirectly on this question. “We hear a. great deal nowadays about nursing as a profession,” she said. “but the question of each nurse is, ‘Am 1 living up to my profession? The nurse’s lite is, above all, a. moral and practical Uteâ€"o. life not at show, but of practical ucuon." topool I thought Empire year: worl Florence ng bloody battlef mous nurse in brated her 85: is. she has an Manchuri Cross wc The R1 Most Famous of Nurses, 85 Years Old, Longs to Take Part In Manchu- rian Red Cross Work.
