Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-20
DR.. Wilson Is Silent.

DR.. j. G. Wilson, dean of the medi-
cal staff of the hospital, when seer
today, insisted that the medical staff
had absolutely nothing to do with
engaging or ousting of the superin-
tendent and the assistant superin-
tendent. He declared that was up to
the governors, in whose hands that
authority lies. "If we take any hand
in such matters the governors tell us
they are running the institution" the
physician declared.
When asked if any of the physi-
clans appeared dissatisfied with the
work of the superintendent and her
/ assistant, DR.. Wilson said that he
could not say. He repeated that it
was not up to the doctors to find
fault with, or criticize the work of
the hospital superintendent or the
assistant, as that was to be done by
the Board of Governors, who are in
charge of the institution. When the
physician was asked if 1t was not
true that the medical staff had been
called upon to meet and urge the
ousting of the superintendent and
her assistant, he replied that he
could not say. He was disinclined
to talk on the subject and repeatedly
referred his interviewer to the Board
of Governors.
DR.. Lund's Reasons.
DR.. John L. Lund, of the medical
staff, said hat 1t seems things were
not as they should have been at the
hospital, that 1t appears the climax
was capped Saturday night when the
superintendent and her assistant
were both away, and as a result he
says 1t appears their designations
were asked for. The physician de-
MED emphatically that there was any
personal feeling against either the
superintendent or her assistant. He
denied that the ousting occurred be-
cause the assistant superintendent
had permitted a young and recently
graduated physician to practice there
last Saturday night.
The superintendent and her assist
ant should not be away from the in
stitution at the same time, as n of
them must be on hand to have
charge, stated DR.. Lund. He said
the superintendent was in New York
during the auto bus accident Satur-
day night and the assistant superin-
tendent was at the depot waiting for
a train to join her when the auto
victims arrived there. She hurried
back to the hospital and resumed
charge, he says. 1t seems the work
of the superintendent and the as
sistant had not been satisfactory, he
continued, and as a result things al
the hospital were not as they should
have been.
Praised by DIR. Henry.
DR.. F. C. Henry, another member
of the medical staff, has nothing but
praise for the institution under its
present management. He ridicules
the statement that the hospital is
dirty and untidy. He declares thar
Miss Wood is really a crank" or
that subject and conditions nevet
were better. He points out man,
new and modern methods that hav'
' been introduced by the present su
. ~perintendent and says Perth Ambo,
has a real hospital now run as a hos
pital should be. He regrets exceed
r iingly the dismissal of the presen
superintendent and her assistant
Q claiming hat If let alone they woul'
o soon have the hospital back in tn
Il good graces Of the public. He say
they know their business thorough
= and 1t is a pity to lose them jus
' when there is a chance to accomplish
:. something at the institution.
u DR.. w. E. Ramsay had gone t

q was made to get a statement froI
