1t did not take long, however, to disclose
one serious flaw in the scheme or, at least one
respect in which it needed amendment and ex-

of them, were stormy, and the attendance at

Should the hospitals be deprived OF the con-
tributons which the absentees would nave

opportunity Of giving? Assuredly not; at any

is for finding ways and means tor extracting
the ultimate coin from the purse, whether OF
generosity or of niggardliness. Plans were
therefore made not only for giving an oppor-

soliciting contributions from church goers anu
non-church goers alike
There were thus organized auxiliary commit
tees. in the various trades, professions anu

fields. and these in time became the chief agen-
cies for gathering funds. At the present tune
only about one-ffth of the whole amount Oh

from the auxiliaries, of which, one, the BANKERS

"HIS is the story of something which has
far outgrown its name. 1t is pretty
big name, too-The Hospital Saturday
and Sunday Association; though it
does not appear that any one has tired to
abbreviate it, after the manner Of some others
into H. S. S. A. But big as it is, in letter and
in spirit it falls short Of signifyng the proper
tons TO which it has grown. Literally, yester-
day was Hospital Saturday and to-day is Hos
pital Sunday, and collections taken IN places OF
worship on these two days are to be devoted
to the support of hospitals. That was practical
" all of the original purport Of the thing a
generation ago. But that is only the merest
fraction Of what it means to-day.
When it was started thirty-hve years ago.
New York was, as it is to-day, the greatest
hospital city in America and probably in the
world-ministering in all kinds Of institutions
to the sufferers of its own vast population and
also 10 innumerable strangers within its gates.
Dr. Baker, of St. Lukes, thought it would be
a happy plan to do here as they did in London
to have collections taken in the churches on
some one appointed day, for the beneht OF the
hospitals. SO at ST Lukes invitation the repre-
sentatives Of fifteen institutions came together
to form the association. The first thought was
to have just Sunday selected, to be known IN
the church calendar as Hospital Sunday. But
is was instantly obvious that that would not do.
Some of the foremost hospitals were conducted
by LEWIS who worshipped not on Sundays, but
on Saturdays So, in order that collections
might be taken in Jewish synagogues as well
as in Gentle churches, two days were chosen,
and the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Associa-
ton was formed
The last Saturday and Sunday of the year
were chosen, or rather the last Sunday and the
Saturday preceding it. The choice was made
following the London example, and it had and
has its advantages and disadvantages 1t is a
date easily remembered, and it comes at sea-

cuniary support which the collected funds al
ford.
Nor is that all. The association has devised
an elaborate but intensely practical form of
records and reports, TO which all institutions in
the association are required to conform. The
result is that every year exactly uniform re-
ports are received from ali, affording invaluable
bases for comparison. These reports show the
total number of hospital days of treatment, the
total number of free days, the cost Of ward
patients per diem, the average length OF stay OF
patients; the number of free patients, OF public
charges, of part pay and of full pay patients
the number of beds maintained, the number
used and the percentage used, the number OF
nurses Graduate and STUDENT, the number OF
ambulance calls, the number OF dispensary
cases and of calls, and the source and amounts
of income and the objects and amounts OF dis
bursements in detail.
These statistics show some noteworthy con-
trasts, not merely among the various classes
of institutions of which there are four-general
hospitals special hospitals, hospitals tor wom-
en- and children, and homes for incurables and
ccnvalescents-but also among those in the
same classes Thus, in the general hospital
the average length of stay of each patient
ranged last year from eight to twenty-three
DAVIS. the percentage of beds in daily use ranged
from fifty-two to ninety-two and the cost per
diem OF ward patients from 81 a to 50 IS.
Taking all classes, the range was much greater,
that of average length of stay being from six
to 2s7 days, Of percentage of beds in daily use
from forty-six to ninety-eight and of cost OF
ward patients from IS cents to IS 81 day. The
compilation and comparison of these statistics,
in standardized form, serve the double purpose
of promoting efficiency and economy and Of
increasing public confidence in the management
of the institutions.

profession, but cheerfully regarding the whole
world as Tom Tiddler's ground, on which to
pick up money.
Now do you see how the association has
outgrown its name'
II has done so, moreover in other ways
The collection of money is still its prime OBJ
iect. OF course. But after the money has been
collected it must be redistributed, and IN the
performance OF the latter function there is
room for such exercise OF discretion as VIII
strongly conduce to improvement OF the qualty
of hospital service For of course. the money
is not given to the hospitals indiscriminately
The original plan was to appropriate 1t among
the members of the association, according 10
the number of days Of entirely free service
which they had given during the year, without
regard to race or creed. That was hne basis
for distribution, but it was not altogether COM
plete, and in recent years some supplementary
bases have been added. In the hrst place, IN
order 10 avoid the multiplication OF small ana
inefficient institutions, il is provided that no
hosnital shall become member OF the associa-
ton and participant in its funds until 1t has
been duly incorporated has been classified as
efficient by the State Board of Charities and
has for three years maintained at least thirty
five beds and has given not less than 5000 days
of free treatment yearly.
With such a record hospital may be re-
ceived into the association. Then it must live
Nd to its record. If, at any time, its manage
ment or equipment becomes so poor that the
State Board of Charities grades it in Class III,
the distributing committee may reduce by one
half its quota of the receipts OF the associa-
ton. and if for a second year it is so graded, all
share in the funds may be denied it until t
redeems its standing. These provisions obvi-
ously tend toward the maintenance of high
standards Of efficiency in the various hospitals
a benefit perhaps even greater than the Pc
