This is accomplish- ed by putting into ignrnodinteprac- tice. in so far as it is possiife, the theory learned in the classroom. Thus. besides ptovidirrz a suitable course of instruction. a true did- actic method should not leave the knowledge a/cquired by students so exclusively theoretical that it will mtbeovfservioetothem in a practical way. ‘This is especially true of Nursing which is a practi- cal science. that is to say. one that is ordained to the practical work that will be undertaken by the Nurse in her chosen Drofes- sion. And so, if a Nurse's know- ledPe of the science of her pro- fession is a mere book-knowledge. her career as a Nurse can-not be successful. 1n a word, theory must be reduced to practice; the abstract must be made concrete. The student-nurses of the Char- lotbetown Hospital have been very fortunate in this. regard, much more so than those who have trained in large hospitals where st-udeslt-eru-ollmerlts likowu-e have been very lame. Though we may not have had an opportunity of dealing with certain of the more extraordinary oases found only in larger hospitals. we have had our full uota of experience in the prac kind of work that we shall meet with constantly in the yes-r! of our mirsing career.
