SAYS CITY SHOULD
Provide HOSPITAL
Charities Secretary Favors
Establishing Institution for
Contagious Diseases
NO PRESENT PLACE
TO TREAT SUCH CASES

That the city itself can be held re-
sponsible for the failure to establish a
hospital for contagious diseases to care
for cases like that Of the NladoWsKi
boy who died OF diphtheria. is the as
sertion Of Richard Mackenzie. executive
secretary Of the state Board OF Chari-
ties. The NladowsH boy was given
emergency treatment at the Delaware
Hospital and then was taken back to
his home, as the hospital has no ward
for contagious diseases.
Il have gone deeply into the matter
and my investigation first Of all shows
that the Delaware Hospital has a clean
sheet" Mr.. Mackenzie says. "The Del
aware Hospital is a public institution.
10 has provisions for an Isolated ward
but that is for the protection OF the
patients, nurses and employ es who con-
tract disease while al the hospital. /
noticed a story to the effect that a child
had been admitted TO the Delaware Hos
pital with a contagious disease. My in
vestigation showed that the child was
injured in an automobile accident and
after several days at the hospital be-
came III, suffering from a contagious
disease.
This Is another point IN favor Of the
Delaware Hospital. In Wilmington the
city money Is given TO the hospital
without stipulation as 10 what cases 1t
should be applied 10, while in other
cities several dollars Is allowed daily
for each case 10 ccare FOR the patients
treatment What applies TO the Della
ware Hospital applies to the other in
in nHN frrns nn ssfH Hrr
itself can only be held responsible
"There are more people die each year
from contagious diseases in the city
than from any other cause. Contagious
disease and infection Is the worst
enemy Of the city and a great deal
worse enemy than those the police have
to deal with A comparatively small ap-
preparation and proper care and treat
ment OF persons contracting contagious
diseases can easily overcome these dan
gers"
Mr.. Mackenzie stated II would be use
less to provide a building other than
a model Institution. providing ample ac-
cOmmOdations and proper SEGREGATION
for persons suffering from diseases
which should and would be cared for
Segregation does not require that the
hospital be far removed from the res
idential district. he said Mr.. Macken-
zie cited the segregation hospital in
Boston as in the center Of the life Of
the city.
Mr.. Mackenzie has appealed 20 the
state Board OF Health. city Board Of
Health, the three city hospitals and the
United States Public'Health Service and
expects TO appear before the Chamber
or Commerce, Levy Court. American
Legion, Central Labor Bureau and
others in an effort TO meet One growing
demand for q hospital Of this nature.

GREEN ADMITS
MISSTATEMENT
Tells School Board Some of
His Criticisms Were
Not Justified
WANTS CHILDREN
ADMITTED ANY TIME

]. Paul Green. chief probation officer
OF the Juvenile Court Association, ap-
peared before the Board Of Education
last night, upon request OF that body,
to defend his statements criticisng
school attendance rules. made several
weeks ago in the newspapers.
After much verbal fencing, Dr. Scott
obtained an admission from Mr.. Green
that the following specific statements,
made in a city newspaper were not true.
1. That pupils were refused admis-
sion to the public schools because OF
crowded conditions.
>. That pupils were refused admis-
sion on the ground that they did not
wish 10 60
3. That pupils cannot be permitted
TO enter school for several weeks from
the beginning OF the term.
Mr. Green said he mad been misquot-
ed on the third statement. the correct
proposition being after instead OF
for" several weeks.
The chief probation officer said that
while these statements taken by them
selves are untrue. they are misinter-
preted by baing so taken. He asked
that they beunderstOod with the back
ground of three specific cases. detail
ed in the account Of the last board pro-
ceedlngs, and first stated by Mr. Green
In the Evening journal several Weeks
ago. Or. Scott declined to consider the
background. saying the public would
take those specific untrue statements on
their face value. Dr. Scott denied that
any injustice had been done in the
three cases named.
Mr.. Green objected TO the school
regulation that pupils entering late In
The term must wait until the beginning
OF another term. He said the law de-
manded Of the probation officers that
they see that the children are in school,
and this ruling makes 1t impossible for
the officers to fulfill the legal require
ment.
Mr.. Green said further that he real
ized both Board OF Education and pro-
baton officers had big task on their
hands. and his only object in criticizing
was to secure constructive results.
DR.. Scott concluded, II think he has
verified everything I said at the last
meeting"
