May be rented only for educational purposes where no admission is charged At the outbreak of the Crimean War Florence Nightingale sets out from Eng- land with a group of trained nurses de- termined to help in the care of the sick and wounded. From the beginning she meets opposition from Dr Hunt, the head of the Medical Corps in Scutari. There have never been women nurses in the English Army hospitals, and Dr. Hunt Is sure there never should be. The base hospital at Scu- tari is in appalling condition. It is dirty and overcrowded. . . Florence Nightingale sets out to clean up the buildings, and in- troduce modern sanitary nursing. She gets no cooperation from the army per- sonnel. Supplies and aid are denied tier. One doctor who tries to help her is sent to the front. When Florence Night- ingale asks Dr Hunt to explain his oppo- sition to her, he tells her frankly that he is not opposed to her as a person, but that he objects to women nurses for the soldiers. He thinks that they make the men "soft." When Miss Nightingale carries her work to the front lines the opposition increases. At Dr Hunt's orders she is denied admit- tance to the hospitals. The Commander-in- chief, hearing of her difficulties, sees that she is given an opportunity to do her work and orders an inquiry into Dr Hunt's ac- tivities. On returning from the front one day Miss Nightingale finds that Dr Hunt has allowed a group of untrained women, led by a person with no previous experience, to take charge of the hospital. To the com- mittee sent to investigate him, he complains of their innefflciency, and blames it on Miss Nightingale. When the truth is discovered. Miss Nightingale is made head of the army nursing corps. After the war Miss Night- ingale returns to England, and Is sent for by the Queen. As she waits in the ante- room for her audience she is met by the permanent undersecretary for the War Office—who opposed her ever since she went to the Crimea. He tells her that he still considers her dangerously progressive. She is undermining the system that he represents. "We cannot afford to experi- ment," he tells her. And Florence Night- ingale replies, "But we cannot afford to wait" sh-c-adult Guide 612 Physiology Control of body temperature.
