ilege to us to have these young people
in u midst, but ours is also the re-
s~ponsibility of providing facilities for
their care and comfort in case of sick
ness.
During the war it was TO small task
to maintain a hospital. Our best
trained nurses volunteered to do war
relief work, and all other help was
exceedingly scare and high priced.
Everyone knows that the supplies
used were more than double their
former cost. But now that the war
is over and the period OF re-adjust-
ment is here. We hope for better
times,
Every dollar taken in from patients
and donations is used for the benefit
of the hospital-not a penny of II is
given away.
We assume that there is not a sin.

the hospital to be closed. We, there.

HOSPITAL DRIVE FOR FUNDS

At the last monthly meeting of the
Board of Managers of the Dakota
Deaconess hospital, it was voted to
make a city-wide drive on Sunday af-
ternoon, March 10th, from / to 2
o'clock, to raise $4,000 or more to pay
the balance due on the new furnace
installed last fall and to pay coal and
other bills past due.
Hospitals are not, strictly speaking,
money making institutions, although
a charge is made for services rem
dered and accommodations furnished.
Many, IL not all, of them do a great
deal of charitable work. This IS par
ticularly true Of our own hospital in
that no patient, however poor, is, on
that ground, refused admission. Nbr
Is it, like some others, a stock COM
pany so that it can raise money by
selling its stock. 1t, therefore, oc.
cupies a rather unique position among
the hospitals of the northwest.
During the year 1918 we received
into the hospital 800 patients, 1873 of
which were surgical cases. 1t is the
opinion of our medical staff that from
IL to Is lives r saved each year be.
u we have a local hospital. This
is for the reason that, had we no hos
pital here, in many cases death would
result before the sick or injured per.
son could be removed to a distant hos
pital.
The attendance at our college, in
normal times, is approximately one
thousand students. 1t Is q great priv
