Excerpt from The Evolution of Public Health Nursing Therefore the writing of a twentieth century 1118 tory of a movement thought to be less than fifty years old, is a difficult as well as a delicate task. The per spective that time, distance and cumulative emdence alone seem to give is entirely lacking when one attempts to discuss contemporaneous activities, but the world is changing with almost kaleidoscopic rapidity and his tory is being made so fast that it is well to record sa lient changes and outstanding facts. For while science is overthrowing established theories every few months, we still have to reckon with human nature, with pre' ventable suffering, with sickness and death. Education is apparently to be had for the asking, but how many people think clearly, definitely, in terms of health? To vision the future wisely, one must attempt to evalu ate the present properly, and the task of the true his torian is to so relate the past with the present that our future work is more clearly outlined in the light of former mistakes or seemingly feeble beginnings.

Excerpt from Organization of Public Health Nursing The development of Public Health Nursing in the United States has naturally created a demand for literature. Not only must material be available for the hospital training schools and the rapidly developing post-graduate courses in Public Health Nursing, but also for the nurses throughout the country who are realizing that to read is as necessary in the nursing profession, as in the medical profession already rich in literature. The general public too is beginning to feel an increasingly intelligent interest in this form of health work. To meet these needs, it is proposed to publish a series of books dealing with the various aspects of Public Health Nursing. The authors selected will be recognized authorities and each subject will be so treated as to bring out the underlying principles and broad possibilities of development and also the practical working details, which together will make the books of value to nurses. Each volume will be complete in itself, but it is hoped that through careful editing, duplication and omission will be avoided and that the series as a whole will make possible comprehensive study of the entire field of Public Health Nursing.
