f 2 1 You sure you don't want to change to Along with our ever-broadening knowledge of the phenomenon of birth, we developed a sense of real accomplishment from our newly acquired and rewarding skills: opening a B.O.A. pack in 5 seconds flatg cheerfully mopping the delivery room floor for the third time in one eveningg and executing Leopoldis Maneuvers with only a 501, error!

It was in prenatal clinic that we learned to view potato-chip eaters with disapproval, to ponder the assets of laundry starch, and to put away forever the dream of a blue, but oh so constricting. garter! Further disillusionment was in- evitable+the horrors of an infant, perfumed and pow- dered. who wore an extra kimona indoors and, worst of all, actually liked his bottle-fed cow's milk! In our teaching roles, we soon discovered that tact and prac- ticality are the only successful methods for preach- ingf, low-cal, and anti-saltn requirements.

Thereis never a dull moment when children are around-their antics and 5 endearing ways always seem to emerge regardless of how ill they are. With the i nursing students there to help, each child gradually comes to feel at home on ' the Pediatric Ward. As combination play ladies, schoolroom teachers, mother- substitutes, and general nurses, We tried to bring warmth, happiness, and en- Q' couragement to each child.
