CONDUCT OF MODERN GIRL
GROWING INDEPENDENCE HOSPITAL BOARD VIEWS (Per Press Association.) W DLL I Nil TON, this day. The lack of •accommodation for nurses at the Wellington Hospital provided members of the hoard with an opportunity to express opinions on the conduct of nurses and the behaviour of the modern girl. The discussion arose when a proposal to erect a wooden building on the old tennis court was introduced. Mr. F. Castle said the Health 'Department had suggested that some nurses could live out, pending the completion of the nurses’ new home in about two years’ time. However, some of the people on the staff were not prepared to treat the nurses as women, hut nilist have them under their wing and discipline. Mrs. A. MVVienr: Nothing of the kind. Some of the nurses come from country districts, and if ! had a daughter nursing, I should he uneasy if I thought she was sent to any other place than the hospital. Miss A. G. Kane: Nurses are able to look after themselves just as much as other young women from the country. The young woman of to-day between IS and 20 years of age is very different from the girl of the same age 20 years ago. A woman member: They certainly a re. A male member: They’re just as clia rilling.
