Mrs. Emma {. Bancroft; presi-
dent OF the Women . AuxiIirry. will
report as follows:
"Another year has passed and our
second annual report finds us very
much encouraged about our work.
The branches of the auxiliary, as
shown from the other Fart of the re.
port, are all doing good work. and
some are increasing very materially
In membership. We find it difficult
to create an interest in Kent and
Sussex counties. This is not altos
gcther to be wondered at, as they are
so far away, but we hope that a they
take more advantage of the privileges
Of the hospital. they will want to
help with its maintenance. We con-
graduate the Board OF Managers In
their successful building Of the new
hospital so lately completed. And
all who have gone over the building
must have Con graduated the State Of
Del ware, that it has been possible
for it to have such u hospital.
"The CORTLAND Cause Chapter
furnished a private loom ready for
the opening Of the hospital. The
has come from the execu-
tive, that the other chapters should
Join and furnish another private
room, and this work is now we'll un-
der way. Most Of the chapters have
come forward handsomely toward ii,
and aIl have done what they could.
The money has all been raised and
we expect to have the room ready for
by the time Of the annual
We hope that another year
will find all Of the branches OF the
auxiliary as willing as they have been
in the past. 10 do what they can. for
Tor it takes great deal of time,
thought and money TO carry on such
In Institution, and the more is given
the greater good we can do tor the
community"
