Home Hospitals.

The number and the Impressive
equipment OF our great hospitals may
blind us at times to the fact that
their value Is largely confined to the
relief OF exceptional cases and TO
the incidental opportunities AFFORDED
to physicians and nurses for ooser-
walton and training. Miss Lillian
u. Wald. speaking recently at re-
ception in the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob II. Schir on the need for
such work as that which IS done bv
the Henry Street Settlement. made
this explanation:
The committee that inquired into
the departments of health and chart
fles and the work Of Bellevue ana
Allied Hospitals found that 10 p"r
cent of tho sick in Ne% York city
stay al home and are nlIsed there
by their families instead Cf going to
hospitals. The visits of nurses llk"
ours may and often does mean tho
difference between SuCcCmbing 10
sickness and recovery, particularly
in the tenement house districts.
The home Is the greatest OF hos
pitals. Families that are Gble TO en-
ploy competent physlcians ana
nurses are able 10 deal with the ma
iority OF cases as effectively as our
present knowledge permits. In fact,
where the urr3undings arc sanitary
and proper diet can he supplied little
outside attendance Is Eeeded. Tho
very patients who are least prepared
TO Withstand Illness without special
scientific skill ara the very ones who
cannot afford it. To these the settle
ment nurses minister with amazing
results For example. in the homes
visited they have reduced the NOR
tality rate among children afflicted
with pneumonia to 93 per cent. as
against a hospital rate four or five
times as large. OF course 1t Is true
that many of the cases sent to the
hospital do not arrive promptly
enouph to give a fair test. Bat
that very fact is An argument for
the home nursing.
The simple statement Of this situ-
alton should be enough to Increase
largely the contributions. An en-;
dowDient Of $4,000 will place and
field. Results cannot be crowded
into any kind Of igures known TO
statisticians.-New York EVenirH
