.she imparted would not readily he forgotton. Another part of the Queen’s Jnslitnto sysietn was tho periodic inspections. Queen’s nurses liked inspectors hecniiso they wore women of long oxiionence, aware of difii- eulties and capable of solving problems. Tho mspi'ctor supervised tecltnical work and acted a.s a stimulant, keeping nurses olhcient. The nurse liad to keep a case hook and reports wore sent in overv month and constant check was kctil on tlie work hemg done. Tho high standard of oniciency thus produced safeguarded the interests and incmhors and a further advantage was tho close co-0[)oration nmintainod with iho medical men. No Queen’s iinr.se was iicr- mitted to act instead of a doctor. In s<unc areas, snhsenhor.s had such faith in Uio nnrso that Ihov asked her advice instead of calling in a doctor. Queen’s niir.sos were allowed to answer one call m cmorgoncy, hut after tlio first visit, .^sho had to take in­ structions only Iroin a doctor.
