to examine all applicants for registration as ".Registered Nurse" and
to issue the proper certificate. It is also the duty of the Board to
examine applicants for the license "Licensed Practical Nurse," and to
issue the proper certificate. A register of the names of all nurses
registered and licensed is kept open to the public. The Board visits
hospitals, inspects training schools, and concerns itself with the course
of study and nursing education carried on in these schools. For suffi-
cient cause, the Board, by a majority vote, may revoke any certificate
(Code 1939, Art. 43, secs. 287-296)..

At the present time, the Board is engaged in an extensive survey of
the "whole practical nurse situation" in the State. It is encouraging
War Veterans who are in a position to be applicants for "Licensed
Practical Nurse." The Board is revising its curriculum and bringing
it back to normal after the accelerated war program. It cooperates
with the "National League of Nursing Education" by contributing
to its test pool and using its examinations and with the State Board
of Education by making practical use of its Equivalent Examination..

The Board of Electrical Examiners and Supervisors was established
in 1906. The Board is composed of five members appointed by the
Governor for terms of two years. Two members of the Board are
appointed from a list of nominees submitted by the Electrical Contrac-
tors' Association; one must be a journeyman electrician; one member
is nominated by the Association of Fire Underwriters; and one is
nominated by the Chief of Municipal Electrical Inspectors of the City
of Baltimore. The Board examines all persons for certificates of profi-
ciency as a Master Electrician. No person, corporation, or firm is per-
mitted to install electrical lighting or wiring, or conductors used for
electrical heat, light, or power, except under the supervision of a duly
certified Master Electrician. The Board is also empowered to adopt
roles and regulations with regard to the placing, installing, and oper-
ating of electrical wires, appliances, and apparatus in Baltimore City.
The Board meets twice weekly in the City of Baltimore. (Acts 1906,
