Excerpt from First Lessons in Bacteriology for Nurses

The present work is the result of a number of years' experience in teaching bacteriology to nurses. A textbook is desirable to supplement and emphasize the material presented in lectures, but the writer has found the text-books examined difficult for beginners who have not had an extended preliminary education. The amount of material presented and the technical terms bewilder and discourage them. In the beginning they should grasp clearly a few general ideas in untechnical language and gradually build on them. It is less important for them to learn disconnected scientific facts than to realize vividly that the connection between the symptoms seen at the bedside and the material shown in the class-room is immediate and vital.

An effort has therefore been made to reduce technical terms to a minimum, to include nothing merely for the sake of systematic completeness, and to point out the application of bacteriological principles not only to conditions inside the hospital, but to household life, social movements, and particularly to preventive medicine.
