Excerpt from The Public Health Nurse, Vol. 11: March, 1919 We have been asked to give space in the public health nurse to a thorough discussion of the question of the training and use of attendants and other nurse assistants. The subject is one which is engrossing much time and attention just at present, and we are most anxious to make available to our readers all the practical and helpful facts and suggestions that experience either in the use or training of attendants may make available. We shall be very glad to receive contributions to this discussion during the next few months from all those who feel that they have any light to throw on the subject; such contributions may be in the form of either letters or papers, and may be long or Short, according to the amount of data that they may have to offer. The President of our National Organization has kindly con sented to open the discussion in this issue, and her contribution is published below.
