Mrss IsoBEL MAITLAND STEWART g N every centre where nursing education is given time and thought, the name of Miss Isobel Maitland Stewart commands a respect and admira- tion second to none. After gradu- ating from the Winnipeg General Hospital, in 1908, she took up pri- vate duty nursing for a brief period followed by a series of staff positions in our hospital. Through the writings of Mis.s Adelaide Nutting, Miss Stewart became increasingly interested in the topic of education for nurses, and decided to further her own education by a course at Columbia University. In her second year she assisted Miss Nutting as In- structress in the nursing depart- ment, which eventually led to her appointment as successor to Miss Nutting. In spite of heavy teach- ing duties, she studied for, and obtained her M.A. degree, the first nurse to merit that honor. ln 1925, upon the resignation of M1ss.Nutting, Miss Stewart was appointed Director of Nursing Education at Teachers' College, Page Fifteen Columbia University. In the ten years or more since this appoint- ment she has served brilliantly on numerous committees, at home and abroad, in the investigation of curricula for schools of nursing. To list all the committees, sur- veys and programmes that have advanced under her leadership al- most requires a card index, and we are left in no doubt of her exceptional abilities. The Na- tional League of Nursing CU.S.A.D is particularly indebted to her for the achievements at the Educa- tion Committee, now known as the Curriculum Committeej' of which she is chairman. Miss Stewart's name is also very closely allied with the movement afoot to establish schools of nurs- ing on a University basis, and largely due to her efforts the number of collegiate schools of nursing is rapidly increasing. Miss Stewart has written ex- tensively on nursing subjects, both in connection with her investiga- tions and researches, and on gen- eral nursing history. One of the finest text-books on nursing his- tory has been edited by Miss Stewart and Miss Lavinia Dock, the familiar Short History of Nursing.
