    "ocrText": "N\n0\n+\n'Mis rozdilkova had dinner with me and we had the opportunity for\na heart to heart talk and I could ask all the questions I wanted\nto pparently the curriculum is about as we planned it; the\nstudents are having a broader practical experience in working in\nMacharova appears to be the right person both\nby her social background and by her own personal qualities,\nBecause of these advantages she will be able to do more with the\n\"hard-boiled\" director of the hospital than anyone else could.\nMiss Pozdilkova is not as fine a type of woman as Miss Mol-\nnarova but 1 think we can rely upon what she says and I feel\ngreatly encouraged. One of the most hopeful signs,to me,is the\nway in which they are making contacts with other groups such as\nthe International Course in London, study in other countries even\nthough it is public health and not nursing education they cannot\nfail to get new ideas about schoold, and the contact with the\nInternational Council.\nEven though the short-lived \"European Council\" was a mis-\ntake in itself I feel that it has had good results infforting the\nvery stiff-necked International Council to turn its gaze from the\nlofty heights of its own ideals down to the lowly groups who are\nstruggling for their very existence. I am planning to go to\nMontreal next summer for the Council meeting--though perhaps it\nwould be better if I went incognitor-and I hope to meet some of\nthe nurses from Prague there.\nTabue\nIt may be that you have had other information about the\nschool-though the visit to it seemed disappointing to judge from\nthe report in the Journal I should be very glad to hear any\nthing that you may have learned about it.I have had time enough\nto\nget over my \"complex\" about it and look forward to a renewal\nof old associations.Some day after I have reached the retiring\nage, I hope to visit it again.\nMiss Lentell is taking the summer school course at\nTeachers College as a brushing up preparatory to going back to\nnursing It is a sort of gesture of independence after five years\nof sacrifice to the demands of what has always seemed to me\na\nvery selfish family She is a fine woman and I am so glad that\nher whole professional life is not to be sacrificed as it seemed\nonce that it would be.\nI saw Miss Besom a few days ago and she telle me there is\na possibility of her going back to the Phillipines.I shall be\nsorry to have ber so far away beyond the possibility of visits\nbut each must work out her own destiny I suppose.\nI have been here in my own school as instructor for four years\nand am very happy in my work though, after reading Dr Burgess'\nbook \"Nurse, Patients, and Pocketbooks\" one cannot help wondering\nwhat is going to happen to the Hursing profession-- and nursing\neducation--ir the future.\nThis has grown to a much greater length than I anticipated when\nI began but it does seem like old times to be writing to you again\nabout Prague. I hope that you are quite well again and that I shall\nsee you again sometime.\nVery sincerely,\nwarm I Parsone."
