~LAUDS ST, ELIZABETH | WORK OF RED CROSS Dr. White Bays Social Feature Greatly Lightens Hospital Solitude, PATIENTS ARE ENTERTAINED L Shows Modernness of Treatment L Superintendent Asserts. Appreciation for the work of the American Red Cross in St. Elizabeth's Hospital here was expressed today in a letter to Miss Mabel Boardman, chairman of the District chapter, from Dr. W. A. White, superintendent of the hospital. The Jetter, made public on the eve ! of the reopening of the postponed an» nyal roll call of the District chapter beginning Monday, January 15, read, in part, as follows: “The Red Cross unit at St. Eliza- beth’s Hospital serves as the soclal center of the f{nstitution. Our pa- tients, as one of the most prominent symptoms of their wMiction, suffer from an inabllity to freely associate with their fellows. They tend, in al- ™ost every instance, to isolate them. selves from their social surroundings and 1o become solitary and individ- uallstic to an extreme degree. The Red Cross functions herc are all ad- dressed against this tendency and in. ¢lude parties and dances in the Red Cross "house and on some of the wards, moving picture shows and concerts in Hitcheoek Hall, base bal) calesthenic classes, basket ball and, in general, such activities as are par- tielpated in by a number at one time, Broup or mass activities and games, L Flace of Assoclation. “The Red Cross house Is a place ©of meeting. for patients, where they may read, write, visit, play games 2nd otherwise pass the time in con- tact and In association with others.

You see, I believe um1 the Red Cross serves the hospital, and Ly that I mean the patients, in an invaluable way. It is a type of serv- ice which, thanks to you, we have been able’to develop to @ very con- siderable degree and which in its nature represents the great distinc- tion between the modern hospital for mental diseases and the old asy- lum for the insane.
