The nurses, a specisi committee from the nurses’ training school, the hospital heads and and Mrs. Charles A. Saxton acted of the Backus Hespital corporation, and Supt. V. Leon Hutchins were in attend- ance thwoughout the day. Every department in the hospital was Lopen to inspection by the public. The visitors were shown through the private rooms, the maternity ward, operating suites, corridors, storerooms, the two main Kitchens, nine distributing kitchens, laun- dry, heating plant, the nurses' home, su- perintendent’s quarters and many took ad- vantage of the opportunity to visit the hospital farm which supplies the institu- tion with milk, pork, vegetables, etc. The operating sultes, laboratory and X-ray departments proved unusually in- teresting to the visitors, many of whom bave never had the opportunity to inspect the X-ray. A large number of the vis- | itors said they were astounded at the size ! of the imstitution, and everyone remarked | upon the absolute cleanliness and order prevailing in the hospital. Don Houghton, technician of the hospi- tal staff, gave much interesting informa- tion about the X-ray work that is done and the demonstrations on the. vertical fluoroscope wera unusually interesting. The baskets of cut flowers were pre- sented by Mr. and Mrs. Charles "A. Sax- ton, Mr. and Mrs. James L. Case, Miss Jane Bill, Mrs. Otto F. Ernst and Carl Johnson. Potted plants that were used in the decoration were presented by Mrs. George D. Coit. In the evening the student /nurses e~ joyed a social at the nurses.’ residence. Ice cream and cake, which were furnished by Mrs. Hugh Henry Osgood, were served. Superintendent Hutchins said he finds that the average person has little idea of the size of the hospital. The passerby sees only the front side of the institution, which s but a emall part of the hospital. The Backus hospital, in which there are 90 beds, and the training school, are reg- istered in Class A, the highest class. It is one of four hospitals in the state main- taining their own iSolation wards. The other three hospitals equipped with isola- tion wards are located in Hartford, Stam- ford and New Haven. The Backus hospital is also one of the eight hospitals in the state mentioned in the American Medical Journal as No. 1 hospitals for the training of internes, young graduates of medical colleges. Last Monday the hospital was thor- health department. Dr. Greene, who has had 11 years’ hospital work and who has been an army surgeon, told Superinten- dent Hutchins that he sensed an air discipline as soon as he had entered hospital, and he highly commended perintendent Hutchins, the tion of the institution. One of the greatest requirements of hospital to make it what it should be is establishment of a ‘large fund to umsgd for the benefit of the nurses’ home. and main Everybody should push for the best equipped hospi- tal possible, for ome- never knews just when a hospital may mean life or death employes’ quarters, laundry kitchen, Mr. Hutchins said. to him. The Backus hospital is finely equipped at the present time and is in charge of a very competent superintendent who under him a most efficient force of partment heads, nurses and further equipment and additions to facilities of such an institution.
