PROPOSE ABATTOIR FOR THE COUNTY i TRAINING SCHOOLS DISCUSSED FOR HOSPITALS Faced with a shortage of 2,0e111 uurscs in Ontario, .1•Ion, Russell T. helley, health minister, outlined plan to re -institute training of nurses in smaller centres when he addressed 60 members of hospital boards of Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth and Wing - ham, Huron Medical Association and Huron County Council at a meeting in Clinton town hall Monday. . Muu]oipal and hospital officials were divided as to whether girls with ,matriculation standing. would stay in towns rather thah go to larger centres for training. At the health minister's suggestion, they decided. to conduct a survey among prospective nurses of the four towns. Under the riiinister's plan, the four Huron County hospitals would each tsupply Pour applicants per year for raining leading to registered nurses' certificates. One competent instructor would supervise training' in all four nursing schools. Mr. Kelley pointed out that if each hospital board appointed a trained nurse to instruct its nurses•in-training ancl paid the instructor 51,600 a year, the east would be 5400 to train each graduate. If four hospital schools were served by one instructor at the same salary, plus an estimated $1,000 traveling expenses, the cost would be only $175 per graduate. One of the minister's audience said it might he difficult to get entrants to smaller nursing schools. A Wingham spokesman declared: "I think if a girl gets four years' high school training she feels she is ready for the city. I don't think the small town would hold her_" Mrs. Iris Morrey, superintendent of Wingham General Hospital refer- ring to training facilities, said "We can not hope to compete with larger hospitals." "I think if we can promise girls their 'R.N.' we will have no difficulty getting applicants," said Dr, Meredith Graham of Goderich. Dr. R. Hobbs Taylor, M.P.P. for Huron, pointed out an economic fac- tor- in, favor of girls choosing to train in small towns. Living costs in Tor- onto, London or Hamilton he said, were higher than in smaller "home towns:" I would think it almost impossible for one teacher to teach 16 students at four different hospitals," comment- ed Dr, E. A. McMaster of Seaforth.i "There is a lot of mileage to cover.", Mr. Kelley replied that it was expect- ed doctors .and trained hospital staffs would assist with training. One suggestion to bridge the gap between small nursing school facili- ties aril better -equipped city hospitals was for small schools to re -affiliate with larger ones. At one time all Huron County nursing schools were affiliated with Victoria Hospital, Lon- don. Goderich was the last of the four to close and sever its affiliation. "There is no doubt the larger schools closed the smaller -ones," said Dr. Graham. Air. Kelley promised to investigate re -affiliation possibilities at once. I3e stressed his plan was "very definite that students will get their R.N." at the proposed smaller schools. . if the smaller -school Man could not be worked out the only other alterna. tive to ease the shortage of nurses was to train more "nursing sisters.'.' These nurses' assistants are trained only.nine months, instead of the three years required for registration, but can do many tasks that a registered nurse might clo, The Ontario Govern-; menti• had already spent $300;0011 to train 200 such aides throughout tire' province, the minister said, K.

He said subjects such as' trigonometry and French were not important to nursing. . Mrs, Morrey favored lowering eclu cational requirements. Mr. Kelley said Association i sisted on maintaining existing stand -I ards, "We do not want to battle the i registered nurses," he added. "We want to co-operate to the fullest ex -I tent." Miss M. Dickson, superintend-, ent of Goderich Hospital, said the Registered Nurses Association would not likely change its policy on re-' quirements., Mayor D. D. Mooney, of 'Goderich. was chairman for the meeting. G. L.! Parsons, chairman of the Goderich! Hospital Board, thanked Mr. Kelley and expressed. the group's' willingness to co-operate in surveys of prospect - FM nurses.
