Obituary.GIOVANNI ANGELO CALCINARDI.

THE great and growing Italian colony in South America has lost one of its most prominent representatives in Dr.G. A. Calcinardi, whose death is just reported from Pando inthe Uruguayan Republic. Born 70 years ago at Desenzanoin the province of Brescia, he studied medicine at Padua, (

but, like nearly all his generously inspired fellowstudents, he was swept into the revolutionary vortex and,less fortunate than others, was arrested by the Austrianauthorities, tried, and condemned to death. Having, how-ever, escaped from prison he took refuge in Piedmont andcompleted his studies at Turin and in Paris, takingin due course his degree as doctor. By this time (1860)the movement towards Italian unity and independence was infull career and young Calcinardi was among the volunteerswho joined Garibaldi in the descent on the Two Sicilies. Inthat brilhant raid, at once Quixotic and successful, he wasrepeatedly under fire but outlived all its dangers to resumeprofessional work in the regular army where he became"capitano medico." Two years afterwards, when Garibaldiraised the cry of "Roma o Morte," young Calcinardi suc-cumbed to the spell of his old leader, threw up his appoint-ment in the army, shared in the disastrous day of Aspro-monte, and was again condemned to death, on this occasionby the Italian Government. The sentence, however, was notcarried out and in 1867 Garibaldi found his enthusiasticvoluntter for the third time by his side in the next raid upon dRome, which closed (once more in disaster) on the fieldof Mentana. Excluded from his former career on the armymedical staff, while pardoned by the Government, he repairedto South America, where in general practice he rapidlyrealised a fortune which enabled him to gratify his longingto see Italy once more. Settling in Milan he again suc-

ceeded in winning a large clientèle, his earnings from whichhe devoted to charity, public and private, on a munificentscale. Interested in the problem of emigration and all thatit means for the poor Italian emigrant he took serviceon board one of the transatlantic liners and followed uphis inquiries on American soil. His mission completed heresumed practice again at Milan, whence he moved to Car-pesina and then to his native Desenzano. Here he wasassisted by his son, by this time a graduate in medicine,whom, for the furtherance of his professional career, he

accompanied to Uruguay, where they both practised inconcert. Of late years, however, the fatigues of his

chequered and self-sacrificing life had begun to tell uponhim, exceptionally robust as he was in constitution andcharacter; so, after struggling awhile against daily in-

creasing infirmity, he succumbed on May 27th, leavingbehind him in hi" native Italy and in the Italian colony ofSouth America the memory of a nohly inspired enthusiast inthe cause of his country and of his fellow men.

Parliamentary Intelligence.NOTES ON CURRENT TOPICS.

Bills Withdrmun.Two Bills have been withdrawn this week of which a word may be

said. One was to prohibit persons who are not by examination andregistration legally qualified to practise medicine and surgery fromcarrying on business as medical practitioners by means of companiesformed under the Joint Stock Companies Acts. The other was to

prohibit the carrying on of dental practice by unqualified persons bymeans of limited companies. Both were presented by Sir JOHN BATTYTUKE and supported by Sir JOHN BRUNNER, Mr. JAMES CAMPBELL,Mr. CATHCART WASON, Sir MICHAEL FOSTER, and Sir WALTER FOSTERTo have had any chance of success they should have been introducedin the early days of the session ; they were not brought forward till afew weeks ago. The only advantage obtained, and, of course, it is onethat is not to be ignored, is that the Bills have been printed andcirculated.

The Registration of Nurses.The Select Committee ’of the House of Commons appointed to con-

sider the question of providing for the registration of nurses has shownexpedition in agreeing upon its report. Elsewhere the text is given.It is probable that an effort will be made early in next session tosecure Government action upon the lines of the report.

Midwifery Orders for Poor Women.Sir WALTER FOSTER asked the President of the Local Government

Board whether he had considered the difficulty which poor womenmight experience in getting assistance in their confinements in con-sequence of unregistered midwives being afraid to attend, as in theSmallburgh union; and whether he could take steps to point out toboards of guardians the duty of the relieving officer to grant midwiferyorders to women destitute of the means ot procuring medical atteno-ance.-Mr. GERALD BALFOUR answered : At present 1 am not awarethat boards of guardians and relieving officers generally do not realisetheir duty in this matter but I am making some inquiry on the subjectand particularly as regards the Smallburgh union.

, Roman Catholic Nurses in Southern Nigeria.Mr. SLOAN asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the-

High Commissioner of Southern Nigeria acted on his own initiative in, inviting at the beginning of the present year a sisterhood of French nuns to Calabar to take charge of the native Government hospital,,

where the inmates were non-Catholic ; for what period these nuns hadbeen engaged; and whether it was intended to retain their services in

; preference to nurses who were not connected with religious orders.-,

Mr. LYTTELTON answered : The proposal that two Roman Catholic,

sisters should be employed as nurses in the native hospital at Calabarr (which is a separate institution from the European hospital) was; originally made to the Protectorate Government by the head of the-; Roman Catholic Mission at Calabar in September, 1903. There had, previously been no women nurses at the native hospital and, as the-

proposal received the support of the principal medical officer and of theActing High Commissioner, it was accepted on terms which were re-ferred to, and approved by, me. It was stated in the terms of agreementthat no undertaking could be given that the sisters w ould be employedfor any stated period but if the system is found to work well I see no

.

reason, on the information before me, why it should be changed.Mosquito Nets and Fever.

Mr. CATHCART WASON asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies.whether he was aware that railway employes in West Africa were con-stantly stricken with fever through old and defective mosquito nets and

3 whether he would give instructions that the nets in use should be con-stantly reported on and that any employe refusing or neglecting to usethe same should be liable to instant dismissal.-Mr. LY1’TELTON replied:

r I am not in a position either to corroborate or to deny what theE honourable Member alleges as to the causing of fevers. I cannot,’- however, undertake to direct the holding of inquisitions as to whether1 railway employes use their nets or not. These employes are adult1 skilled workmen and must be regarded as having some personal

intelligence and responsibility. -

THE REGISTRATION OF NURSES : REPORT OF THE SELECTCOMMITTEE.

The Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed to con-sider the expediency of providing for the registration of nurses has.presented the following report to Parliament :-The committee has examined 34 witnesses, among whom are included

members of the medical profession, matrons of hospitals, superinten-dents of nursing institutions, nurses whose experience has been gainedabroad as well as nurses who carry on their occupation in this country,a representative of the male nurses, representatives of variousinstitutions and public bodies, including the Civil Service, besides

’e ladies and gentlemen who are not professionally employed butd who have given much time and work to the management ofn hospitals and asylums and to the study of nursing questions

both in the centres of population and in the rural districts.es

Amidst many divergent views met with in this evidence there is a;0 general opinion in favour of some change in the conditions under whichy nursing is carried on. The committee has observed this tendency iny the evidence of the medical profession and in that of the nurses them-

selves. The evidence shows that a considerable improvement has taken’ place of late, both in the class of persons who undertake nursing and in

R the conditions under which they obtain their training and carryon..%d their occupation. It has been asserted in some quarters that registra-a tion is rendered requisite by reason of the amount of illegality,ke immorality, and scandal which at present continues undiscovered and-

unchecked. It is contended that registration would be an efficientd instrument against these scandals and would safeguard the public. Inthe judgment of the committee, while registration might prove a-

means towards checking some abuses no evidence which has been,- brought forward substantiates a general charge of moral delinquency.-n On the other hand, there is a general concurrence of opinion that

in the interests of the nurses and of the public further improve-. ment is both desirable and practicable and the committee con-GO siders that the desire for coordination of the various training

schools, although not universal, is widespread. Upon the questionof what changes in the conditions of nursing are desirable strongopinions are held and vigorous expression has been given tothem. In these circumstances unanimity could not be looked for.The principal suggestions laid before the committee are: -(a) Registra-tration of individual nurses; (b) registration of training schools fornurses; and (c) licensing of nursing homes, institutions, and societies.

nt which supply or employ nurses. The committee is agreed that it isn desirable that a register of nurses should be kept by a central bodyM- appointed by the State and that, while it is not desirable to prohibitie unregistered persons fromnursing for gain, no person should be entitled’to to assume the designation of "registered nurse" whose name is noty upon the register. 1t recommends that this central body should be seta- up by Act of Parliament and that its constitution should be definedre in the Act, as was done in the case of the Central Midwives Board.se The central body should consist of matrons, nurses, and representativesct of the medical profession, of training schools for nurses, and of the

public. The committee considers it desirable that the number of repre-sentatives should be kept within reasonable limits; it suggests 11 as aconvenient number and recommends that it should never exceed lb.The committee recommends that the central body should admit to the

w register of nurses such nurses as have had a training at a recognisedof training scnool for nurses tor a period to be determined by such body,es and have satisfied their training school, whose certificate they must’y hold, stating that they are equipped with the knowledge and exueri-’t- ence requisite for nursing and that they are of good character. It also.id recommends that the central body should decide what coustitutes aof recognised training school for nurses, taking into consideration the’es number of beds, the accommodation fer protationers, the facilities-
