 In presenting our report for the year 1917, the board of trustees would re- mind you that ten years have passed since the Home was first established. They have been years fruitful in re- suits, and we are most grateful for the generous interests and gifts of friends which has made the work so successful during these years.
 The Home sustained a sad loss last July in the sudden death of it's medical director, Dr. H. J. James. Dr. James brought to the work at St. Lukes Home, ability as a specialist in tuber- culosis with wide experience behind him. He was of a bouyant and happy nature, and inspired his patients with confidence and affection. He was all ways courteous and considerate in his dealings with the members of our board, and devoted to the work of the Home. We were fortunate in securing Dr. Allen II. Williams. who was a member of our consulting staff. to take charge immediately, and with little in- terruptlon the work has gone on under ms ettlcient and devoted leadership.
