the change, | think, is the concerted
work which is being done throughout the
city to aid the poor. They no longer have
the same fear they once had, and with a
little persuasion can, in a great number
of cases. be persuaded that it is the best
place for them.
Sometimes, but very seldom. we do
find people who call us in when they
have no right to, being able to pay for
medical aid. Sometimes, too. pride keeps
people from sending for us. and the fam
lily physician is summoned and ASKED 10
attend the case. If he realizes that
he will receive. no remunerat'on he sum
mons us. Other times he continues to
care for the patient. The small circle OF
patients which every physician has whom
he attends free of charge for years at a
time keeps good many cases in the
hands of physicians who are not ply 81
clans to the poor.
"Of course it is left to us to decide
just where the line should be drawn as
regards a patients ability to pay for the
services of doctor. For my part. | do
not feel that family should be absolute
~ without funds before they are entitled
to nv aid If the husband and father
of a family is doing the best he can TO
keep up. and is honestly endea roring to
support his family, do not feel that his
meager earnings should be broken into
for medical expenses.
1t was in 1878 that DR.. Smith Town
shend, then the health officer of the Dis
trct, recommended in the report that
some measure be taken to aid the sici:
poor of the city. January Il, 1879, author
ity was granted for the expenditure of
$1,2m for that purpose for two months
ard a half. Immediately DR. TownShend
appointed nine physicians and entered into
contract with twelve druggists to furnish
the medicine on practically the same
basis as it is furnished today. The rules
governing the duties of the physicians
We're practically the same as now and
each physician was told the exact mean
ing OF the word pauper, as is seen in the
following extract from one of the re-
ports:

ton and prescriptions was defined in

in case of doubt to always lean to the

Before the 81 100 had been spent an ad-
ditional 5000 was obtained to continue
the work which had proved IA success by
that time. No record was made that year
Of the number of cases attended. but the
amount paid out for medicine was over

nection grocers cO-operated with the
health department. as did the druggists.
In the year 1850 there were 80 ca ses
treated. or average of over a thou
sand cases for each physician. The medi-
cine for that year cost over two thou
sand dollars, the number of visits made
numbered nearly fifteen thousand. 1t was
in the report for this year also that the
recommendation was made by DIR. Town
shend for a city hospital. the only one

was doing good work, but which was I'M
able to meet the demands
In 1881. on account of the shortage of
funds. the salaries of the physicians had
to be stopped. but they generously con-
tinued their services through that time
During the year there We're over twelve
thousand cases treated, while sixteen odd
thousand visits We're made. The next
year the number of cases increased to
fourteen thousand odd. while in 1SS: the
number reached over fifteen thousand
and the following year sixteen odd thou
sand. All this time the ma iority of cases
by about two-thirds had been colored In
$50 the number of doctors was increased
to fourteen and since then has increas ed
until today there are twenty-one. In 1871
the charge OF the physicians to the POOR
was transferred from the health depart
ment To the board of charities, and since
then has come under the immediate care
of George 5. Wilson, the secretary of that
organization.
In speaking of the great decrease i'll
cases now as compared with those in the
ilrst Few years of the existence OF the
organization, Mr.. Wilson said:
While | believe that the conditions in
the District have been improved to such
an extent that sickness is less prevalent.
do not believe that the decrease is en-
tlrely due to that cause. In those days
believe that each time physician was
called to home on account of sickness
ii was recorded SIS another case. and thus
the total assumed much more alarming
proportions than t does today. | do he

best to cure the patients he is called upon
to attend resardieS IS of the fact that he

have been waiting to build can
then proceed. 1t is understood
that many interested are well to

in the fearful: ''But you said you would come right back and get it, and you didn't"
 'sNo, she didn't, and the child has learned something of the elasticity cf his mothers promises through this means. Perhaps she didn't even in tend to '<coEne right back,'' even while she made the promise; she said 1t to pacify the unconscious child who had trusted her. This, however, is not a noble thought, and, happily, there arc mothers who deal honestly with their little children in the most triding mat ters.
 If young life is the bit of clay given into our hands to be molded by our touch into the perfection of it's des- tiny, how can we fail to realize that every motion of finger upon it is to make an impression for increasing it's beauty or the reverse? Keeping faith with the child in the trides- that, remember, are to him the great things of his life-is the slow, atomic method of building up the temple of truth in his mind.
 Three definite causes induce lying in children-fear, imagination and un- developed faculty. The first clearIy indicates a lack of confidence between parent and child, for which the parent alone is responsible. Had the little one been trained to seek mother un- der all conditions, whether in pleas ure, or pain, or misbehavior, fear of her under any of these conditions would not be possible. Ttere is noth-
