RECOMMENDATIONS. The Sub-Committee recommends that:— 1. Administration. 1. The name Domestic Administrator should be used to describe the individual in charge of the domestic arrangements in hospitals. 2. The Domestic Administrator in a hospital should be head of her department and should be directly responsible to the Board of Management. 3. The Domestic Administrator should be responsible for the whole of the domestic arrangements of the hospital and of the staff dealing with them. Food, household stores, linen, laundry, and cleaning (except in the wards and special departments) should be under her charge. 4. The Domestic Administrator should be consulted, in the case of a new building or structural alteration, as to the planning and lay-out or as to any modification of these plans, and she should always be consulted as to the equipment and maintenance, as well as the decoration of any section of her department. 2. Training. A. Diploma and Certificate Courses in Domestic Subjects. 1. The present trainings of the Domestic Subjects' students at the Training Colleges are not considered sufficient for this work, and a three years' training is advocated. 2. Girls should not begin training before the age of eighteen. 3. It would be valuable for them to take a commercial course before training. 4. The training of students in the theory and practice of Domestic Subjects should be undertaken by those who have a thorough knowledge and actual experience of the conditions in which students will have to work after they are qualified. 5. A minimum of two years of the training should be spent at the Training College, and the third year in gaining experience under the auspices of the College. 6. There should be more uniformity of training in institutional management and the training courses should include the following subjects in their syllabus:— 3
