In the first place, we were greatly surprised learn in the fall of 1918 that superintendent, Mrs. Jennie L. who had been with us for many had decided to sever her con- with our irstitution. Our with Mrs. Bassett were most and cordial and we felt that the hospital was in and eflicient hands.' It was fully decided, howe that the break would occur, so, at the invitation of our president, all offi- cers and directors, heads of commif- tees and others interested in the wel- fare of the institution met at the home of Mrs. George W. Traut to | spend an afternoon socially with Mrs, | Bassett before her departure from While together, Mrs. Traut spoke of the year when Mrs. Bassett.first came | to us, comparing the hospital and its worl as it was at that time with the plant it is today, and in behalf of € a era year of its to our, B! sett vear: nection lutions pleasant re- safe us t - j the executive board and the woman's board presented Mrs. Bassett with i purse of gold—a joint gift from bot} Bassett expressed her apprecia- tion of the work of our bhoard, and spoke with much feeling of the sym- pathy which had always exis be- tween the ladies and hersel That afternoon will long linger in our memories as delightful occasion { presided over cordial hostess { and president. ““Considering a a by our the size of our plant and the probability of its growing to be much larger in the near future, it seemed advisable to the executive Doard to call some experienced and efficient man to fill the vacant office. John Fay of Poughkeepsie was the one chosen to come to us. Mr. Fay was not wholly a stranger because he had formerly occupied a similar posi- tion in Hartford and was well known to many in our city. Soon after Mr. Fay's arrival a meeting of the board was held at which M. was present, and arrangements were made whereby we could be of assistance to him in his work. One of the first things which the new superintendent suggested was that the reception room be made a little more attractive and the corridors leading from the main building to the new part be made a A committee com- J. Porter, Mrs. J. A. Traut, George Traut and M George Hart was appointed to take the matter in hand, and at the present time the new rugs, light curtains and mission furniture make a very nice change from its former sombre ap- pearance. The curtains, too, in the corridors are a great addition. Boxes of flowers have been in the windows of the reception room all summer, and the superintendent as- sures us that when winter sets in plants will he blooming in the cor- ridors, making the institution as homelike as possible. The woodwork, too, in the halls has been nicely ren- by the employes of the hos- P Money Badly Needed. Up {o the present time we have maintained our institution as well as it could be done with the money al- lotted to us by the state and city. We have alw been aware of defects and of many things which might be dif- ferent, but changes could not be made without the renditure of a large sum of money which we did not have. In April last there passed from us one of our aged and highly respected cit- izens whose pleasure it was to watch the growth of the city which had been his home for many years, and to which he had become greatly at- tached. When the will of the late Darius Miller was made public it was found that it contained many bequests to New Britain and that the hospital was very generously remembered. act the sum set aside for our use so great that soon we can enlarge our plant and its work, and can main- tain a hospital whose standard of ex- cellence is second to none. 1t is prob- ably known to you all through the colunins of the press that provision wa. made at the close of the war for sick and wounded soldiers, not only thosc helonging to our city, but to some of the adjoining towns, the ex- pense to be niet by the government. In this way they were not obliged to go to a regular government hospital, and cur local hospital was for tk time being thus constituted a govern- ment hospital. About fifteen ca have been treated, two or three being for shell shock. At present we are as usual lacking in private rooms, although eight additional beds have been provided recently, and every available space has been utilized in or der to accommodate the patients. It was a good day, too, when congestion was relieved from the main building by the taking away of maternity cases to a house which was fitted up a short time since. More Room Must Be “There is, however, such a growing demand for hospital care for (hes cases, that the executive board would be glad to have sufficient room to commodate [{ifty patients a week instead of twelve, which is the largest number which can be taken care of at the present time, The children’s house is large enough for its patients, but many improvements are to he made there.

The laundry, as always, is inadequate for the work to be done there. Nothing short of a new one well equipped will iill the bill. Considering the amount of work, it is marvelous that we have done as well as we have, and still handicapped. The application which come to the officers to be signed show that the Jane 2.

There was no lack of good things in the way of thickens and turkeys. vegetables and fruits, flowers and jellies, and money with which to buy them. At Christmas, the same attention was paid to the celebration in the wards as in other vears—handkerchiefs being presented to the women and socks to the men: a filled berry bowl to the super- intendent and nur Dr. Fromen providing the trees as usual. Again at Easter all were remembered. Mr: < stated that s cards were presented to all patients, a little gift to each child and a plant to every patient and nurse. The plant pecially acceptable—many as 'y it away when they were from the institution. The society still keeps up its custom of distributing weekly, and it is a pleasant diversion to see the cheerful faces of the voung ladies who bring their of- ferings to the sick ones.
