fling cabinet. The secretary also
needs a new minute book. As the
board took no action the matter was
referred to the managing committee.
Paid Patients Matter.
With the completion of the nurses
home the resolution of the Board of
Governors, adopted April 81, rela-
tive to paid patients selecting their
own doctors, will become effective.
The hospital at present supports
twenty-fOur beds, and with the COM
pletiOn of the home the five extra
rooms, now used by the nurses, will
be utilized. The institution has been
crowded to capacity on several occa-
siOns, especially on June 20, when
two linemen fell from P. S. C. poles
in State street and had to be treated
at the Ernst House owing to lack of
hospital accommodations.

Miss Bamber's Report.
Following is Miss Bamber's report
In full:
To the Board of Governors of
The Perth Amboy City Hospital:
Gentlemen:-I take pleasure In
herewith presenting to you the an
nual report of the Training School.
The past year has been an I'M
%eventful Il for the school. One
pupil nurse was admitted during the
year, but was dropped at the end of
four months on account of general
u~nf1tness for the work.
We will have no graduating class
this year, but hope to present a class
Of four graduates early in 1912.
The training has included a syste-
matte course of instruction and rect-
tations from nursing text book,
which have been given in weekly
classes by the superintendent. This
instruction has been supplemented
by a series of lectures given by the
members of the attending staff.
As we felt that We could not give
our pupils sufficient experience, in
diseases of children and obstetrical
work, arrangements have been made
with Bellevue Hospital, New York,
to give each senior nurse six months
service in those departments.
The health of the nurses during
the year has been exceptionally
good, there having been no serious
illness.
Our nursing staff at the present
time consists Of superintendent,
night superintendent and five pupil
nurses.
