of two day. The employed staff
numbers about 400 men and women.
Old Hospital Inadequate
The present hospital, which has
been in operation for years, has be-
come inadequate and the necessity
for new plant has long been real
lied. The Chattahoochee asylum
dates back for many years as a state
institution and was formerly used as
the state prison. Farther back than
that, 1t was used as a garrison for
soldiers in the early wars and many
of the buildings now in use are old
and badly dilapidated, inconvenient
and insanitary. The need for mod
ern institution for the care OF the in
sane has long been felt by state o.
ficials and this movement is the first
step toward a definite program for
building such plant.
"The care OF the insane is one OF
the duties of a state" Mr.. Watson
said yesterday, "and Florida has been
lax in this regard, though 1t must be
said not willingly. Chattahoochee al
an insane institution has passed its

institution is necessary. It is the de-
sire Of the committee to select a site

homes volunteered their services. We
wired you and other Chapter chair
men throughout the State for nurses.
You responded to such good effect
that we are now able to say to you
the conditions are as satisfactory as
could be expected. Out Of about three
hundred cases of influenza among the
soldiers, think twelve cases of pneu-
monia developed, and we regret to an
nounce that Of these, three have died.
There are five more desperately III,
but they are holding their own, and
we are very hopeful for their recov-
cry. Others are being discharged
daily leaving less than hundred in
all now In hospital, all doing we'll.
Conditions are still serious among
the civilian population, with our doc
tors and pharmacists overworked, but
the epidemic is on the wane, and we
have 1t now pretty we'll in hand.

tice to all that really believe our

than among the Soldier Students.

you brief statement of the condl-
tions, covering the period of time

And now | want to say again, we
are sincerely grateful to you for your
! aid so promptly given. n you ever
want anything we've got, or that we
can get, ask. and it's yours.
