Nursing morality or discipline, or on what are the best
internal arrangements to carry out the Medical
Officer's orders, - (Which if she does not know
better than he does, she is not fit to be head
of the Nurses, & ought not to be there at all -
any more than he ought to be there; if she
knows Medical treatment better than he does -
(a thing which has happened)) -
then the Medical Officer & Matron go
before the Medical Officer as Supreme Head.
Is this administration? -]
II. As regards the application of this to
Metropolitan Workhouse Imfirmaries:
is it permissible that the whole administration
should be under the Medical Officer?
If he does his dury as  Governor,
must he not neglect his duty as Medical Officer?
[N.B. He is not like the Principal Medical
Officer at a Military Hospital:
he has to attend with one assistant
on 500 sick perhaps or more.]
Must there not be some supreme power
with appeal?
