Excerpt from Sanitation for Public Health Nurses: The Fundamentals of Public Health 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 under lying 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 a comprehensive study of the entire field of Public Health Nursing.
