OWSGROWTHOF
HOINEO HOSPITAL.

At the meeting Of the Board OF
Managers Of the Homeopathic
Hospital yesterday. Miss Aida Hs
Turner, retired superintendent of
that institution presented her fare.
we'll report, previous to leaving the
hospital later in the day. The re-
port showed a marked comparison,
of the work OF that institution in the
21 years which Miss Turner served
as superintendent. She pointed out
that in 1899 when she came to the
hospital 351 patients admitted; p
births; SO deaths and $3.267.15 re-
ceived during the year. In 1920, her
last year in the hospital, 1904 pa
tients were admitted; 271 births, SO
deaths and the amount Of S51,2OT.-
O6 was collected. In 1899 the hos
pital was a two-story building with
"a beds 4 private rooms, one en-
dowed room, 6 nurses. no nurserys
one operating room. the Pusey me-
mortal which had just been complet-
ed. Now the hospital has two we'll
equipped operating rooms. The
hospital is a five-story building. with
90 beds. two nurseries furnished by
our auxiliaries with 16 bassinetts
and IL cribs for the private rooms.
At the conclusion Of the report
Miss Turner thanked the trustees. !
the board of managers. the staf of
physicians, the junior board. the
nurses and the alumnae nurses. the
auxiliary, the auMliar at Hockessin
and the many friends OF the hos
pital for the efficient support and
cooperation given her during her
service with the hospital.
Miss Turner left the hospital yes-
terday for her former home in
Woodstown, n. j., where she will re-
side. 1t was with regret to all con-
nected with the Homeopathic that
she left the institution, as she was
considered one Of the foremost su-
perintendents in the East. When
she resigned several weeks ago she
gave no reason for resigning other
than she wanted to give up the work
as superintendent after so many
years service.
Miss Turner has been succeeded
by Miss NJ. Louise Pugh, OF Brook
lyn, n. Y, who assumed her new
duties yesterday. During the past
week Miss Turner was presented
with many farewell gifts. A dinner
was given in her honor by the Della
ware State Nurses Association.
