Women in White
WE call ourselves a young country, but our current passion for looking back on Fifty Years of Progress or a Century of Development has in it more of the mature woman’s pleasure in recalling the triumphs and struggles of her youth than the child’s naive delight in birthdays. Station 2ZB’s
Mid Century Review is a particularly good example of such _ stock-tak-ing, and well worth picking your way through the clutter of the Women’s Hour to find. Last Monday Miss Janet Moore spoke on the development of the nursing _ profession since 1900, from the days of the 12hour day, £25-a-year and provide | your own uniform era to the present
time, when, although conditions have improved, it is still possible to apply the remarks made by some speaker in 1905, that "our nurses are well educated young women, and show a great interest in their calling, a calling they were drawn to by other than pecuniary motives." With four talks still to come on other aspects of 20th Century endeavour (excluding ‘football) the whole series should give listeners something to think about as well as something
to chuckle over.
