Officers will be elected following the transaction of other business wheh is to come before * Ihe board. It is expected that there will be changes in some of the offices. The report of the secretary is: Hospital Inadequate, “f the members of our haospital board present here today would make & tour of inspection over aur local in- stitution, they would indeed be sur- rised at the changes which have “rldmklly taken place there. The house once comfortably sheltering the patients apeking admittance now, even with its additions, is no longer ade- uato to the demands of our rapidly growing and cosmopolitan city. %/ “Those who are in charge are more than perplexed by the many prob- lems which confront them, chief among them being overcrowded con- ditions everywhere. Our superintend- ent tells us that 60 patlents can be well cared for on an average, but that the number accommodated s usually about 94, and that If there wero enough room there would be the ogs portunity to provide for 200 at ofs Wme, because overy day many turned away for lack of room.

T. Eben Reeks haa the oversizht of the Institution and with the exe.u- tive board is firmly resolved to re the standard of excellence in every possible way. It | thelr expeotation that in the near future they may not only have s hosplal sufficiently spa- e*dis In which to do the necessary work in a first class way but to have juarters where patients desiring very | fine accommodations can find th:m und not be obliged to go out of tleir own city. In providing more room we are told that it will be necessary to bave a wing where a certain number or rooms ean be set off and unoccn- pled, to be used in case of any dis- ter which might pogsibly come up- our city r in the event of an eve- demie visiting us as it has done In the past.

Nurses’ Quarters Neeed. “At two of our board meetings Dr. Reeks spoke to the officers and di- rectors in regard to present needs at ! the hospital, and on both occasions laid particular stress upon the neces- sity of a good nurses’ home. The doc- tor said that a few months ago an advertisement was inserted in a local paper asking young women to come to the hospital for training. Thirty- six presented themselves, looked the situation over, and after inspecting the nurses’ quarters not one of them decided to remaln. Dr. Reeks feels that all applicants should be fairly well educated, being at least grduates of a high school and that when they come to the institution they should find a pleasant and home-like place in which to live. A nurse’s profession at best Is a strenuous and confining one and good rooms, where they can get a necessaryy amount of rest is what they should expect and what our city should provide for them. At present they are occupying rooms in a house on property acquired by the hospital same time ago. Dr. Reeks is now preparing to purchase some new fur- niture for the place which will be used in permanent quarters when they have them All such articles for the fitting up of rooms at the present time are very expensive and hard to get in large After deciding in regard Reeks quantities, to just what is needed, Dr. asked that a committee from the | Woman’'s Board be chosen to pass judgment on the furniture. The com- mittee was Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Rape- Iye. « Social Service Work. “At a former meeting it was voted to wecure a soclal service worker to follow up cases after leaving the hos- pital and see that the diet is well at- ed to and that they are being d for in a right way. Hartford two such workers; Johns Hopkins, 50. Dr. Reeks stated that the matter had been purposely laid aside because of more imperative needs which must first be dealt with, but that the mat- ter would be taken up again in due time, “It is probably known to you that Mrs. Curtis, who formerly resided in ¥all River, has accepted a position as supervisor of nurses. The executive board is much pleased at being able to secure the services of Mrs. Curtis and it is expected that under her able leadership some competent nurses will graduate from our institution in the near future. At one of our regular meetings Mrs, Curtis was present to meet the ladies of our board and out- lined her plan of wark. Soclals for Nurses. “The last graduvation was ‘held on | the evening of February 6, and as our board Is accustomer to remember the members of the class with flow- ers, Mrs. Willlam C, Hungerford was necessary pur- chase. The young ladies seemed very much pleased with the attention and wrote nice letters of thanks. The of- ficers and directors of the board real- ize that many pleasures ought to be provided for them, and at one of our meetings a committee consisting of Mrs. Elisha Cooper, Mrs. W. C. Hun- gerford and Mrs. Humason was chosen | to provide some sort of entertainment when it seemed advisable, and to as- certain in what way the nurses wished to be helped. It was found on one accasion that they would enjoy hav- ing china of their own for afternoon tea, so that they might promote a little sociability among themselves. Mrs. Humason suggested that each di- rector give a cup, plate and saucer or the eyuivalent in money. This gift was presented at Christmas time and was much appreciated, “On the evening of October 12 a Hollowe'en party was given at which they had a most enjoyable time, president, Mrs. George Hraut, buted ice cre pumpkin pies, ap- ples and crull . A dance was also held in the month of March. The en- tertainment committee with the as- sistance of friends interested.in the hospital furnished an orchestem and refreshments.
