in a candid , straightforward way , and in so doing , she did well , for to defend what is wrong is as much against Christian charity as to attack what is right . But the great want of all is the want of accurate kiiowledgewhich makes
good abilities and good intentions of little value . I wish ladies , who have leisure would think of it , and enrich themselves for the general good . On this point , at least , there would be no controversy .

Home And Training Institution Tor Nurses...
Home and Training Institution tor Nurses . 7 Duke StreetBathJune 2 oth 1863 .
Ladies , , , , I believe , no apology is necessary on my part for addressing you in behalf of this Institution , as I understand you were mainly the originators
of it , by suggesting to the inhabitants of Bath the necessity of an institution of tliis nature for the benefit of their city . I thought froni your connexion with the Association in Langham Place , you might be able to
recommend us some more candidates for probation . Our monthly nurse , Miss Smith , who applied to us through your office , has proved so truly valuable , that I should be glad to have two or three more like her , and
I would immediately send them to be trained at Queen Charlotte ' s Liying-in Hospital . Miss Smith named to me an Institution in London for providing women with needle-work , conducted by a Miss Barlee ;
she feels sure I should hear of many likely women there to -whom a Home most destitut like , ours e cases woul , thoug d prove h highl the y respectable greatest boon , app . lying She there heard for of assist many
ance and employment ; these are the persons we want to reach . I am quite resolved to take none of our nurses from the domestic servant class ; they , if good for anything , can always command good wages and
comfortable homes ; it is those who find it so hard to help themselves , that I am anxiously trying to benefit . If you could kindly help us , either by recommending women personally known to yourselvesor would procure me
, Miss Barlee ' s address , I should feel greatly obliged . If you have not seen and our you first will year see ' s Report how well , I shall the good have seed great you pleasure have sown in forwarding has taken root you . one ,
Perhaps Miss S has already sent it . Believe me to remain , Ladies , Yours very faithfully
C . Hutchins , _on . [ Miss Barlee ' s address is 2 Hinde StreetManchester Square .
We are always being applied , to for more , nurses than we can find . If any of our readers know of good ones needing employment , we should be glad if
they would send them to Langham Place . —Ed . ]
