disease" Dr. Corwin added, that is
from December to May. Additional hos
pital accommodation for contagious dis
eases is therefore a serious need
4 public hearing or the matter was
held in the City Hall in December, 1911,
at which the protestants received some
assurance that sites under consideration
would not be used for contagious disease
hospitals. and a committee OF the resi-
dents of The Bronx was appointed 10 ma
another suitable site i'm The Bronx.
In spite OF the statements then made
that another site could be found within a
very short time the committee did not
report until after several weeks, and then
recommended as site for a contagious
disease hospital for The Bronx, North
Brother Island, owned by the city and
controlled by the Department of Health
since 1871.
The committee is opposed to the use OF
North Brother, Island as a contagious
disease hospital, for the following rea-
sons. as set forth in its report:
First-A need OF the city, now we'll rec
ognzed partly met and Of increasing
urgency. is for a hospital for compulsory

said. "and as there is no such hospital in
The Bronx, with the exception OF one

ORIENTAL LOGIC.

Bishop NJ. s. Lewis of Foo Chow, urging
recognition of the Chinese Republic at a
luncheon at the Union League in Phila-
delphia. told a little story illustrative
OF Chinese unworldiness.
"A gentleman" he said, entered n
Chinese shop 10 purchase tea. He found,
TO his Amusement. that FIVE pounds OF a
certain tea cost 81 80. while ten pounds of
the same brand cost s. 80
The gentleman ridiculed these illogical
prices. but the shopkeeper. on the con-
trary. insisted that he was acting in a
perfectly logical way. As he put il:

DISADVANTAGES ENUMERATED.

The disadvantages OF an island for con-
tagious diseases are emphasized by the
committee as follows:
Frst-The transfer to a hospital OF
cases OF measles. scarlet fever and diph-
iberia. in their early febrile stages, Is at
tended with risks which should be min
imized in every way possible.
Second-For the use OF an island foT
such cases there should be supplied a
completely equipped reception hospital on
the mainland, ferryboats. each large
enough to carry an ambulance; the nee
essary docks and piers. and service OF
frequent trips during the entire twenty
four hours
This is necessary for the parents of the

report says. The expense of the instaliG-

acute diseases of children would, it IS
said, be exceedingly large and would in

THE PRIVATE HOSPITAL.
The private hospital. according to Dr.
Nicoll. next to Willard Parker has the
river view and air on three sides. 1t has
one pavilion for scarlet fever and another
entirely separate for diphtheria, with
different corps Of nurses for each.
Each patient has his or her own room.
Each room communicates with the out
side air, is well lighted and Of good size.
An open air roof garden is provided for
convalescents
"The same regime, perhaps with little
more elaboration, is carried out said
DR.. Nicol, "as in the public institutions,
and the results of treatment leave little
TO be desired.
zone of the reports Of the private hos
pital shows something over per cent
of deaths from diphtheria and less than
4 per cent from scarlet fever. Measles Is
not treated.
Here. then. are two sets of institutions
one public, the other prvate-having
equally good medical attendance and
nursing and, in the main, facilities for
cleanliness, disinfection, etc.
"In the private hospital the death rate
is equal to the best that can be shown by
any private physician or institution. In
the other il is a blot on modern scientific
progress.
What Is the cause Of this?
Lack of air"
Robert w. Hebberd. secretary Of the
State Board of Charities, said the causes
responsible for existing conditions may.
generally speaking, be summarized under
two heads.
With few exceptions" he added, the
public hospitals of New York City have
for years suffered from the utmost in
difference and neglect on the part OF the
public authorities of the city.
They apparently had in most instances
no knowledge of what the actual needs
| OF the situation were at any given time
nor of what they were likely 10 become In
the future II IL only within very recent
years that these rapidly growing needs
have been recognized at all. and stiii
later that any large and determined eff
| fort has been made to meet them.
! There is no other city OF the globe,
either ancient or modern, which even APP
proximates New York's congestion OK
population, with its disease producing
! possibilities.
There should be one general public
1 body charged with the administration OF
| all the public hospitals. a body that will
be representative Of the whole city and
of It's highest philanthropic spirit and
ideals"
