Excerpt from The Public Health Nurse, Vol. 10: September, 1918 As the health of a nation is the strength Of a nation, so hygiene and sanitation, both in the factories and homes, ought to be our first consideration. In the rapidly spreading branch of public health work, which comes under the somewhat vague title Of industrial nursing, the possibilities are far-reaching, extending from first aid in the factory to prenatal work in the homes. Industrial nursing at present is an indefinite term, standing as it does for work of so varied a nature, yet being so closely and intimately connected with welfare work and social service. It is impossible to draw a sharp line, becaus'e in many instances where advanced welfare work is being done, the nurse, though an im portant factor, is the outgrowth rather than the inspiration of it.
