328 MEDICAL AND PHILANTHROPIC WORKin going to work in other hospitals where the trainingschool is in the making and the superintendent needs anassistant, or even in taking the place of superintendents insmaller hospitals and teaching others what they have alreadylearned themselves. To quote one of the matrons in chargeof a training school for men nurses :The training of men nurses is now being carried on systematically and carefully in many centres where foreign trained womensuperintendents of nurses have Ixvn appointed. In the training ofmen nurses there is no counteracting of existing methods, nor anycompromising with existing prevailing custom. Male nursing of sickmen is to the Chinese a new and foreign custom ...The hospitals without foreign superintendents have already in some places been suppliedwith trained nurses from training schools in the centres ;and in oneinland port (at least) trained men nurses have been of great servicein nursing foreign men patients, no foreign nurse being available.As in the homelands so also here there is a leakage ol.trained nurses from the women s side, for many of ournurses marry after their training.
