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.

From the Back Cover:
This volume is an account of the origin of the work of public health nursing, its evolution and the causes which underlie its development and which have produced its variations. The work discusses how the growth of social self-consciousness reacted on the charities of the Middle Ages; how the industrial revolution brought about a readjustment of social conditions and finally how the advance in preventive medicine and the development of the art of nursing, produced and made inevitable, the Public Health Nurse. Experience of nursing in Europe, the UK and the USA is discussed.
