oh, gloom! We are reproducing the
article, headlines and all, that was
so fearfully and cruelty mangled
that the reader may know what we
were writing about. 1t follows;
HUBBARD HOSPITAL.
No single feature is of more impor-
-tance TO the development OF a city
than its facilities for caring for the
sick and the injured A city we'll
equipped with hospitals is in a posi-
ton to serve the territory tributary
70 it in a commercial way to a de-
gree that is impossible where made.
Quate facilities exist in that line Of
modern advancement. Good hospitals
attract patients even far beyond the
territory naturally included in the
radius of the municipalities activi-
ties and add enormously to the pres.
tige of city so fortunately equipped
From a business point of view good
hospitals, and enough of them, are
splendid asset because of the number
of patients they bring from other
sections, the number of physicians
and surgeons OF superior skill at
tIacted by their opportunities and
the amount of money expended, not
only for hospital treatment, but with
business institutions of all kinds.
From a different angle of vision
than the purely material one, too,
are hospitals an asset. Superior hos.
pital accommodations are something
that every city owes to itself and its
territory to supply because of the i'm.
possibility of smaller communities
meeting the demand in adequate fash
ion.
The residents of Nashville should
lie called upon to aid a most worthy
cause by giving financial assistance to
the Hubbard Hospital in order to
enable the hospital authorities TO
avail themselves of every modern
convenience. Nashville is a rich
city, a growing city, already Boosting
10000 inhabitants, a number which
is destined to increase to 100000
within few years. 1t should not
lie difficult for a place such as Nash
vile is to secure material aid for the
hospital whiting a reasonable length
of time, for so worthy a purpose as
is Hubbard Hospital.
The city's present hospital facili.
ties are excellent, but in order that
these shall keep pace with the citys
growth in population and with the
growth of population of the great ter
ritory in Alabama, Georgia, Mississip.
pi and Kentucky, of which it is the
metropolis, additional facilities are
needed. Our help would provide
way to secure many things needlul
with a minimum of expense.
As a matter of sentiment, as well
as for more material reasons, Nash
vile people should he generous in
their gifts to the Hubbard Hospital.
1t is one of the oldest hospitals in
the city for our people and has al
ways performed a valuable function
in caring for the ailing portion of
the community. A hospital is in no
wise money-maliing proposition. All
that such al institution is expected
to do is to charge sufficient fee TO
pay its operating expenses. Patients
who cannot afford to pay are never
turned away because of their poverty.
No one can put his money to a nobler
use than that of helping out an in.
stitution devoted to the alienation
Of suffering. Nashville people are
offered notable opportunity for 10
ing good and at the same time adj
vancing the interests of the city as a
whole by helping Hubbard Hospital.
