APPENDIX B.

Dated Calcutta, the 8th February 1872.

From—DR. T. E. CHARLES, Obstetric Physician, Medical College, Calcutta

To—DR. NORMAN CHEVERS, Principal, Medical College, Calcutta.

  WITH regard to the education of Native midwives in connection with the Medical
College Hospital, I have to report as follows:—

Difficulty in procuring women.

  1. My previous reports on the subject have placed you in full possession of the fact
relating to the extreme difficulty experienced in procuring women to be trained, and also the
difficulty which arose owing to the women being unsupervised when brought from quiet
country districts, and suddenly finding themselves completely their own masters, in the
midst of new temptations. Neither difficulty has been quite overcome; but in consequence
of the steps which have been taken, I think we are justified in believing that it will be possible
to procure pupils from time to time, and that by dismissing those who show immoral tenden-
cies any great public scandal may be avoided.

Separate house and
matron not pro-
vided.

  2. The arrangement sanctioned for a house for these women to live in, presided over by
a paid agent, has not yet come into operation, for two reasons,—(1) no suitable person has
yet been met with; (2) after the women had already provided themselves with lodgings, it
would have excited great opposition to have interfered with the existing arrangements. It
is proposed that new arrivals shall be obliged to live in the intended way, and that any of
the present pupils may have the option of removing also to the house, an amount of pressure
short of compulsion being used to induce them to do so.
