Saturday Globe: The resignation
of Miss Ida Swanson, superintend-
ent of the Mahaska hospital, now
effective, brings regret to many who
have been guests" of the institution
within the two year period of her in
cumbency. No doubt Miss Coleman
who succeeds to the Office, will in due
course come to be thought equally
indispensable, but even so equitable
a change cannot take place without
regret being mingled with the vel
come accorded the incoming manage
ment. Miss Swanson's splendid per
sonality acceptably pervaded the eu-
tire institution. She is an agree
able executive. Gentleness and
frmness combined to impress favor
ably both associate workers and pa
tients, and leaves no question as to
who held the important position of
superintendent.
