The training school is doing excel
lent work. The number of pupil
nurses has been increased this year.
This will enable the superintendent to
better supply the great demand for
trained nurses, which Is increasing
daily. Twice during the year the real
work of the training school was OPEN
ly demonstrated to the public. first.
during the Elks' carnival and street
fair, an Emergency Booth" was fit
ted up as an up-to-date hospital and
trained nurse kept in attendance.
Many cases were treated gratuitously
| daily. If the word ,of praise and testi-
money of the patients could be told

House on December 26th, which was a
A large number of improvements
have been made during the year, and
quite number are still in progress.
Many of the rooms deserve special
mention for the manner in which they
are kept UP. Many modern beds have
replaced those of not so recent date,
thus making the work of the nurses
easier and adding greatly to the COM
fort of the patients. A bath room has
been fitted UP for the surgeons, pro-
viding many comforts for the staff.
A new portico has taken the place of
the old entrance, thus greatly improv-
ing the appearance of the exterior of
the building. All these improvements
add greatly to the appearance and USE
fulness of the house. Still many urg-
ent necessities confront us, the paint
ing of the building, the entire reno
waiting of the plumbing, new laun-
dry, etc. In these projects we hope to
secure the help of many friends who
have not as yet extended helping
hand.
The clergymen of the city have been
very kind in ministering to the spirit
ual welfare of the patients. The sur
gical and medical stats have been I'M
firing in their efforts and kindness.
Through them many charity cases
have received attention Mr.. R. H.

in the dispensary. From the press of
the city we have received many favors
