328 328 A Short History of Nursing service. This surmise is strengthened by many social and political developments to which we have alluded, — tiie expansion of health departments in government, the promises of national health in- surance acts, and the oncoming new organization of industry. I A slight but suggestive hint of what tomorrow may bring in the new forms of labour relationship is given us in the activities of young nurses in some of the countries most closely touched by the war. They are organizing frankly on labour-union lines and are seeking the protection of trade union acts and labour legislation. This, so disquieting to the conventional and exclusive minded, seems to others really to point to an enlarged and nobler concep- tion of all work and the place in the world of all workers.
