It is one of the encouraging signs lo of the spread of health education in hina to note that the Nurses' Association now numbers 400 Chinese women who have received hospital training in accordance with Western standards. This organization has now been admitted to representation on the Executive Committee of the Council on Health Education and its special contribution to the work of the latter body will be on the lines of home nursing and care of the sick. A committee has been appointed to prepare an outline of instruction on these subjects to be tried in a number of selected places and the results laid before the Nurses Association early next year, and then the programme as modified will be brought before the Council. As the membership of this body is scattered all over China it is hoped that extension work in simple home nursing will be wide-spread and aid in solving the health problems of this needy country.
