LETTER FROM DIR. GEO. L. BATES

LETTER FROM DIR. GEO. L. BATES
To the Public:
There have been so many encourage
ing remarks made to me by the public
and also by some of the newspapers in
regard to the hospital project in the last
week that I wish to throw the fact as if
by reflection, over the hills and valleys
of Old Lamoille, through the columns of
this paper. wish to assure the pessi-
mist that | have not as yet become
"dopey' over the matter. Furthermore
wish .tsay that am being brought al
most daNy in contact with some case
where an institution of this kind would
be of the greatest benefit.
1t would be means of saving town ex-
necessary to have trained nurses for
some poor patient, who can only rely up
on the town for assistance in extremes.
1t would save life by it's sanitary influ-
ence, where many lives are now sacri-
feed. 1t would be a source of education
to the public as whole.
Now is the critical period when we
should be able to discover the sentiment
of the people in our community and
what they are willing or able to do to-
ward the stimulation of this enterprise,
which points toward progress and the
higheat form of charity. A Heaven-in-
spired incentives; the object, ameliora-
tion ,of physical suffering of humanity.

From the Free Press. |

George l.. Bates of Morrisville has
written an able article in The News and
Citizen advocating the establishment of
a hospital in the village of Morrisville.
His plan is conservative and contains
many excellent reasons why such an in
sttution started in modest way should
be established there. In these days of
surgical skill and the advantages of a
properly equipped hospital for its sue
cessful practice every community which
can maiutaln one should have hospital.
It would tend to reduce the mortality of
the community as the care of a patient
after a critical operation is often the de.
termining factor as regards recovery. A
good hospital always proves public
benefit

The proposition of the establishment of
such an institution along modest lines,
with provision for healthy growth as
conditions and needs would warrant,
should certainly be considered by all in
