'The regulations governing "the canine nurses and kennel maids" employed by the Canine Nurses' Institute have been sent to us. The first three rules are: That the nurse shall faithfully attend and minister to the sick animal, behaving herself with tact, gentleness and discretion; that she shall not divulge any facts which may come to her knowledge with reference to the private affairs of the animal owners; that the nurse's food shall be plain and good, and her meals served separately. There is an amusing similarity in these rules to those of Guy's Institution for Trained Nurses, except, of course, that the word "animal" has been introduced. The canine nurse, it is further stated, wears a special and becoming uniform; she can be supplied "to dogs in ordinary and whelping cases" for "£1 5s. per week; and the cjarge for attending an "operation and nursing for one day or part of one day" is ten shillings and sixpence. An additional fee of 5s. is charged in infectious cases on the termination of the engagement. It is suggested that "the profession" will open up a new field of employment for women. Possibly, but we hope that the canine nurse, in her becoming uniform, will not be followed by the "equine" nurse or the "bovine" nurse in other becoming uniforms, and thus further complicate the difficulties in distinguishing the hospital-trained nurse by her dress, which are already more than sufficient.'
