§ 55. Colonel DAYasked the President of the Board of Education if he will consider the advisability of instituting lectures on nursing subjects to the upper forms of girls' secondary schools in order to attract to the nursing profession the type of young person so necessary?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Lord Eustace Percy)I think this must be left to the discretion of the headmistresses of the schools. I have myself drawn attention to the responsibilities of our schools in this matter, but I am afraid the problems which arise in this connection will not be solved by the giving of lectures.
§ Mr. J. BECKETTIs the Noble Lord aware that the nursing profession is already underpaid and overcrowded, and that vocational training of this kind is not required?
