As an introduction to the subject matter which follows, this small piece of information, with all that it symbolizes seems to me to be partic­ularly appropriate; namely, that during the past ten years, we have been trying to replace the "training school" with the "school of nursing". In addition to the above is a statement that I found giving the four objectives that nursing education is striving to attain. They are as follows, To prepare the nurse to meet more fully and efficiently her technical duties; to make her socially minded; to give her a keener appreciation and knowledge of the cultural values in life; and to make schools of nursing part of the state school system and to secure public support for them.
