A reference to the by-lawa further- more showed that the offices should bo filled by eloction of tho Board of Trustees, Dr.Bridgo then sot tho dilemma before them in thia wisa: either to conform tho rule to tho practice, and thus comply with tha condition of the gilt of the Relief aud Aid Society, or conform the prac tlea to tho rule, and break faith with the Society.

It was aftor- wards eaid, however, that Mrs, Stovenson was without experience in actual hospital practice, almough well up in the thoory of medicine, and Miss Thompson expressed some doabt as to hor practical capacity on that account, Dr. Fitch then moved that the by-laws rogu- lating the appointment of ansiatants in the bos- pital bo changed so that it bo required that they 0 subjected to COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.
