At the yearly meeting of the Wo-
mans association. held at the Memoir
ial hospital on January 18th the work
of the year 1909 was reviewed. Since
the last yearly meeting the new wing
has been opened for use. The rooms in
the main building have been redecor-
ated and refurnished, giving an equip.
ment for ward and private patients
Many articles have been added to tile
equipment Of the operating room, and
a room communicating with it, has
been fitted up for the use of the physi-
clans. In the basement room has
been suitably arranged for clinics, and
the laundry thoroughly overhauled
and equipped. A cottage conveniently
near to the hospital has been ade
quately furnished and given to it as a
home for nurses. The trees on the
hospital grounds have been cared for,
and the,out buildings reprinted. The
scarlet fever ward has been thoroughly
done over with toilets, bath rooms and
closets added, and has been constantly
III use since its reopening.
The number of patients cared for in
the main building has been All, an in
crease of nearly 2O0oyer the year 1908
In the pavilion tifty-nine have been
treated. 257 operations were per-
formed, many OF them of a serious ma
ture, the successful results of which
were most satisfactory Out door
cases during the year number 375.
Miss Campbell, who has been the
superintendent for eighteen months,
has resigned, and the association re-
corded its appreciation of her great
interest in the work, and of her valL-
able services to the hospital. The sue
cessful equipment of the building and
work there accomplished, is in a large
measure'due to her executive ability
and her skillful uperlntendence. The
association deplores the loss OF her
services, and extends to her it's best
wishes in whatever she undertakes in
the future.
In the deauh Of Mrs. George f.
Stone, the liberal benefactor of the
hospital for so many years, the assoct-
alton has met with a loss not easily
TILED. Always a generous supporter
OF the work, when the wing was pro-
jected she endowed two wards, and
later bought, equipped and presented
the nurses home. BY her will the en-
dowment fund has received generous
addition and the hospital is also en-
abled to complete the improvements
in the pavilion so sorely needed. But
the workers will miss her daily
thought for their welfare, manifested
in SO. many gracious ways. To the
gifts above mentioned must be added
Fan endowment of $4,000 by Colonel
Dqbbins, and the furnishing of the
children's ward by Mrs. George Jen-
kins. This ward being her gift in Dr..
Persons honor to the hospital. Brass
plates have been ordered to be placed
over the doors of the wards, designat-
ing the donors.
To friends and benefactOrs the asso-
citation extends its thanks for many
favOrs, and asks for a continuance of
their interest and support. which ii
trusts the future work of the hospital
may fully merit.
