Through intimate contact with the lives of thousands of new settlers, the nurses are helping to bind these peoâ€" ple to their adopted country, making them Canadians in heart and outlook as well as in name. *‘ The following statement was made in an address given recently at the time of a local campaign : ‘*Every dollar contributed to the support of| vested in the cause of good Canadian citizenship. .

Aiming to do the greatest good to the greatest number, it refuses to tie itself down hard and fast program, but adapts its work to the particular comâ€" munity it is trying to serve and coâ€" operates with every other agency enâ€" gaged in the same field of public serâ€" vice.‘ There can be no question of overlapping because of having taken as its own particular function the care of the sick in their own homes. Toâ€" day, with the increased emphasis on the preventionh of disease, this means | that a nurse, because of her easy acâ€" cess to the homes, has unusual opporâ€" tumties for teaching and promoting | better health and of stimulating peoâ€"|â€" | ple to help themselves. â€"â€" Someone must always be taught to assume the responsibility of the care of the patient between. the nurse‘s visits. Her nursing care is really a practical demonstration. Although the nurses collect fees, the Order is not selfâ€"supâ€" _porting. It is believed that those who can pay should pay, as no other policy is consistent with the maintenance of the self respect of the patient.
