The Basic Principle n THE QHAUTAUQUA HOW WE TRAIN I. A General Outline of the Method THE CHAUTAUQUA SCHOOL OF NURSING carries on its work under a charter from the State of New York, which authorizes the institution to train persons in the art or profession of nursing, by mail or otherwise, and to grant certincates to persons thus educated, instructed, and trained. Our course of training and method of instruction are based upon the principle that the 'value of the nurse 's services, both to the physician and to the patient, depends as much upon her mastery cy' the theory as it does upon the practice of her profession. Practice is secured through the large number of exercises required of our students during their course and through experience at the bed- side .underl the physician's direction. Moreover, many, if not most, nursing procedures can be practiced better upon a person in health thanupon one in sickness. But, granted the value of practical ability, the actual knowledge upon which-the nurse must take her own initiative when necessity arises, can be ac- quired only through persistent study. Without this knowledge her practice will often be 'insufficient to meet the innumerable emergencies constantly arising in here work. With, then, a mastery of technique supplemented by a sound body of theory the graduate of The Chautauqua School of Nursing is prepared to take her place as an able assistant under the direction of the physician. l THE METHOD TINCLUDES ,First--A series of clearly printed Qnot mimeographed or type- writtenj lectures in which every possible aid is given by diagrams, charts, and illustrations. These lectures and other printed matter, together with all papers, reviews, examinations, etc., become the property of the student who thus possesses, in convenient formifor reference, an inval- uable library of technical knowledge and practical infor- mation, which is always available.
