Averell Harriman, socially prom- inent, plans to open a gallery of modern art to provide her with both a vocation and an avocation. She said she will take personal charge of the gallery which will open in October in Tast b7ts street. Paintings and sculpture to be exhibited and sold will be en- tirely the work of moderns. “I am doing this to further the interests of modern art work over here,” she said, “and since I'm interested in modern art it will give me both a vocation and an evocation.” Mrs. Har * a. was formerly the wife of Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney. Her present husband whom she married last Februa is 2 member of an investment firm and a noted polo players. ' e —— 000 public health nurses, and 11,000 institutional nurses. The reason for the large preponderance of private duty nurses is that there are no bars to this type of nursing. Anyvone who wants to call herself a n can enter the private duty field i with all others in it, al- though in Connecticut, to hecome a registered nurse, there are certain formalities that must be complicd with, namely, the person must be over 21 years of age. of good moral | system can be devised by which tie ;pr\\a"; duty nyrse can be utilized {in public |ice character, and must show to the sat- | isfaction of a board of five members appointed by the governor. that she is a graduate of an aproved training school for nurses, which gives at least a two years course in a public or private hospital. where medical, surgical and obstetrical cases are re- eived and treated. If such appli- | cant shall -pass the examination to the satisfaction of the board. she then receives a certificate of regis- tration, which entitles her to ‘registered nurse.’ The graduate of a training school who enters private duty nursing has been for at least two and all at once this supervi- sion is removed and she becomes a free agent, to refuse call or accept She can dis- types of apt to stop t where other be- be certain cases and is very learning at the poi profession omen ginning to learn “Within a months she tain her maximum d she has n ward to.

Candidates for these positions are scrutinized by organizations and institutions in a most thorough manner, and it is safe to assume that only the most proficient are selected. Public. Health Nursing “Public health nursing is a serv- which every community owes to its children. Tts motive, as first in- troduced by William Rathbone, of Liverpool, England, with the help nce Nightingale in the ‘year was the provision for the sick poor of a type of care which they could not obtain without the aid of others. Now, however, it has broad- ened out f yond the limits of the care of the poor. The district nurse has been transformed into the public health nurse through the recognition of the fact that the public health movement is. education in personal hygiene and the realization that the nurse is the hest agent to carry on such education in the home. It has been said that the relative progress of civilization of the various peoples of the carth may measured by the extent to which they have de- veloped this newest and most signi- ficant form of community health service. Authorities state that for 2,009 in population there should be at Feast one public health nurse and in rural communities where distance if to be considered to every 1,500, and th the commu should spend between 80 cents and $1.20 per capita for pub- lic health nursing, or about one-third of its total health budget “It is unfortunate that today work, which is a public service, is onducted mostly under private auspices, but I believe that the da is not far distant when the state will recognize its responsibility in most important duty It seems that he tin when the state will pay for this serv- ice and when the education of the nurse will be provided for through public channels. The community must pay for the education of ti women, whose services are to the community.
