ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Bishop Robert I. Burton delivered an
address OF welcome in which he con-
graduated the nurses on having a
/ home separate from the hospital. Here
| he declared, you can laugh without
| dlsturblngthe sick, you can walk with
| out tiptoeing, and you can sing. In
short you will be free from the con-
| slant worry felt while you are In the
presence OF the suffering"
| Bishop Burton expressed the hope
that the policy OF the hospital would
always be liberal and that its doors
| would always be open TO people OF ev.
! cry political faith, nationality and re-
| ligious creed, and that all the suffer.
| ing would be treated alike. In the past
| year, he said, large number OF lndi-
! gent cases had been treated. These had
J made n drain upon the hospitals reve-
/ nues which II could not carry without
assistance. To meet current expenses
| additional funds would have To be rails
| ed, and he suggested that donations
| ought 20 be solicited to prevent the
debt from becoming a drag, The hos
, p!tal, he declared, In closing, was In his
opinion one OF the finest IN the world
and unquesiionably the finest west OF
| Chicago.
