Methods and Principles of Teaching the Principles and Practice of Nursing.

By Bertha Harmer (Columbia University, R.N., Assistant Professor, Yale University School of Nursing, etc. There is no doubt that m the present times when the need for placing the trainees of a hospital school more m the

position of students, than was formerly the case, is recognised by those responsible. A book such as this will be very welcome. Every good nurse is by no means a good teacher, and ward sisters have little time for teaching, but to give the students an intelligent knowledge of their work, both theoretically and m practice, it is necessary for the teacher to be able to impart what they know. The book is divided into sections, and tables are given showing nursing practice m detail, special procedures, clinical experience., etc. The chapter on Methods of Teaching, gives many useful suggestions. The price of the book is 12/6, and it can be procured from Macmillan and Co. Ltd., Melbourne.
