NURSES IN HOSPITALS.
TO THE KIHTk'.R Of "|HK l lt'/SS.'' Sir, —In speaking at Trinity Hall to the Council of Churches, your reporter has quite misunderstood what I said. ' In speaking of over-woiKod nur-cs, and nf the two who went to bed for a week's I referred to LJuiiland, and to i|vi>:liton in Sussex. 1 do soy again iiiat Hospital Doards. should work i''-t-hi? wards, and then ti.ey would soc tl'o | necessity for "repular weekly ■ days oil' as wo do in district nursing. T am sure the working life of a nurse who holds a responsible position in hospital would be worth preserving. Itcould be done by inereisini; the stnlt and_ the rates. 'I'hat nurses "only get ialr an hour off, and no davs at all," was never thought nf by r.ie. That is ouite erroneous. Kindlv correct this. —Yours, etc., i S. E. MAUDE.
