At the interim Conference of the International Council of Nurses two resolutions were passed which should interest nurses m New Zealand. The first one was passed by the Round Table on "Newer Developments m Private Duty Nursing," turned into the general meeting and passed by the General Council. It was as follows : — "That the nurse registries should be organised and directed only by nurses and not be a commercial proposition." This is a move m the right direction, and is a subject which might

well he studied by the private nurses of New Zealand. The other resolution was presented by the Round Table on "The Nursing* Profession m Relation to Mental Hygiene." It runs: "That the Board of Directors of the International Council of Nurses be asked to appoint a Standing Committee on mental nursing and hygiene." In view of the fact that our own problems m regard to reciprocity between general and mentally trained nurses are m need of consideration, this resolution is of great interest.
