The new school nursing scheme will be instituted on September 1st next if sufficient qualified nurses can be secured. The “if” is an important one, for Miss Moore, superintendent of public health nursing in Ontario, told the committee there was some doubt as to whether or not a suf­ ficient number of the proper kind of nurses could be secured, so scarce were they at the present time. However, Miss powered by motion three to five nurses, vising ability, if Provincial superintendent companied by her assistant, Wright. During the course of her outline of the proposed scheme Miss Moore said that the first move of the com­ mittee would be to get every school board in the scheme. She said centre would have to fice established and equipment pur­ chased. The salary of the nurses ranged from §1400 to §1800 per yr., plus car allowance. The nurses would purchase their own cars an'd maintain and service them from the allowance, much as do county policemen.
