A study of medical nursing
No full textTo have a thesis, one must have a problem. This improvement of methods and means of the teaching of the students and supervision of the floor is always a problem in any teaching hospital. Although it is a problem which deserves the deepest attention and action from experienced workers and leaders, it is nonetheless one that is vital and almost insidious in gripping the interest of those for whom teaching and supervising, as well as the betterment of their hospital holds an attraction.

The installation of education here lagged greatly behind that of other public health work, but in 1893, child hygiene was inaugurated, not through organized health departments but rather through the philanthropic or private organizations of the times.
