of Health, after a visit to Alexandra

Mr. Kelley made a brief toar of in-

Vice-president It. C. Hays were out-of-

of the Minister of Health.- - _
Mr. Kelley expressed his appreci-
ation of a suggestion of Mr. Saunders.
The latter pointed out that the sug-
gestion arose at a recent- meeting of
the Hospital. Board: It . was to the
effect that there be appointed a
travelling supervising trainer of nurses
who would have Kincardine, tioderich,
..*eafort.h. wad Clinton hospitals, as
ports- of call. She would stay at each
hospital about a week at a time and
during this time `wuuld impart in-
structions to nurses in training at
these hospitals. It was pointed out
that to have such a trainer for one
hospital alone' was beyond the ,tia-
uncial -ability • of any nue of these
small hospitals.
