T HE subject of staff education has been presented before this. In this treatment of the subject it will be possible only to discuss certain special features, and to make a few suggestions as to how they may be planned and executed. Scholarships have long been an accepted feature of nursing education whether donated by alumnae associations, philanthropic individuals, boards of directors, or by the staff of the school. The First District of the Illinois State Nurses' Association has offered each year, for the past four or five years, several scholarships to its members. In 1933 nine were awarded. Always there are many more applicants than available scholarships, attesting to the eagerness and ambition of the members of our profession to. obtain a university education. Colleges and universities expect their alumnae to contribute to scholarship funds and solicit contributions regularly from their members. The inference is clear it is our duty as directors of schools of nursing and members of alumnae associations interested in progress and educational advancement to stimulate our organ-. izations to further activity along these lines. When appointments are available recipients of scholarships, and, of course, those who have advanced through their own efforts, should be given preference and promotion. We should make it possible for them to pursue their studies with little difficulty, by assigning them to part-time duty or to posts which impose less physical and mental strain upon them. In the Cook County School of Nursing more than a dozen different graduate nurses have been assigned to library duty in the school for periods of time varying from three months to three years. They were graduates, not only of the Cook County School of Nursing -in several instances students who had been awarded scholarships-but also graduates of other schools, who were registered for courses in colleges and universities in the city. A number of other graduate nurses have been given a term of service in the nursing school office, assisting with registration, records, correspondence, and reports. This arrangement has the advantage of flexibility in hours of duty and often has the result of giving the student a changed attitude toward the administration of the school and a better understanding of its aims. There are other posts which might be mentioned such as clerical or switch-board work in the school or in the nurses' residence. A good many of you have probably been public school teachers and will remember the policy of the board of education in requiring that the teachers attend institutes and summer courses in teachers' colleges and universities. Increase in salary and promotion depended to a certain extent upon professional interest and continuous effort to attain academic and professional advancement as indicated by compliance with these requirements. One hears infrequently about "teaching fellowships" in schobls of nursing. By definition, "a fellow is an incorporated member of a college or collegiate foundation a holder of a position carrying an allowance from collegiate funds, based upon the prosecution of certain studies for a term of years and called a fellowship." To explain briefly, a member of the faculty is paid a salary while serving
