THE PAY OF HOSPITAL NURSES.
Sin, —All exhibition of sweated industries is on view in Dunodin at present, and t-hithor the people in "crowds repair." Why not turn their attention to sweated industries nearer home, where, according to your leader of Friday week, I think it was, our Hospital nurses labour at arduous and unpleasant, but noble, work for about 10 hours per <lay or night, as the ease may be, [or tho magnificent remuneration of £12 per annum? If, instead of olwying the noblo impnlffl that attracts them to this class of work, thev were to act as barmaids, to smile fools out, of their money, they would probably j»ot more than five times tho pay, and would have State protection to wo that thev were not' overworked. "'Tis so, and pity 'tis' 'tis so."— I am, ctc., Ex-patient.
