TOWN AND COUNTY MEET
AT HOSPITAL RECEPTION
Band Together To Cooperate In The
Advancement Of The Institution.


Advancement OF The Institution.
Sometime ago the Board Of Di-I
rectors of the Cambridge Mary
land Hospital decided that, al
though they were dc:ng their very
best 10 help the institution, yet the
hospital was slipping backwards be-
cause of the lack Of feminine rym-
pathy and cooperation. 1t was
plain that the constant changing or
superintendent had a retarding ef-
feet Four, five and six changes IN
a wear mean that one head nurse un-
does the work of her predecessor, be
cause everyone has her way of do
inc things. This problem was dis
cussed and it seemed the only reason
able thing to do was to engage
nurse familiar with the people anu
work III this section. Miss Louise
Tyler a graduate of the Cambridge
Maryland Hospital was sought and
entered upon her duties the first OF
the year.
Later the directors sought the
service of the women of the town. A
Committee was appointed from each
church At the first meeting, I'M
mediately following the election OF
officers, the suggestion was maze
that each district of the county nave
a committee to work with this Or
ganization At the second meeting
Mrs. James NJ. Robertson, chairman,
of the Woman's Auxiliary, appointed
a representative in each district ana
issued letters of invitation to these
officials and their assistants to at
tend reception Saturday at the hos
pital.
It was a "get-together" affair and
you should have seen the crowd that
got together" in the reception room
of the building. Everyone was ask
ed to make herself comfortable, and
to speak her opinion or forever hold
her peace" Then Judge Henry put
in his appearance. Here the words
of the cartoonist might well be ap-
piled he was the only one OF MS
kind" In an assembly of thirty
three women any man would be lone
some but Miss Tyler relieved the
situation by asking the Judge to pre-
side.
Judging from what followed IT
must have been a put up job. the
Judge omitted no phase OF hospltal
work. He asked first for co-opera-
ton that the spirit of criticislng IN
Justly might be eliminated. He
spoke in behalf Of the poor; that
the hospital workers should spread.
the news that the hospital is for the
paupers as we'll as for the prosper
GUS. He asked the women to give
the sympathetic touch to visit the
sick giving words Of cheer, to en-
courage the nurses by cooperation.
Then the speaker Waded right In
10 deep water and presented the big
proposition. that of raising S5O,OOc
for a Nurses Home and making the
necessary repairs to the present
building. He dwelt upon the i'm
portance of such an addition ana
said a drive would take place some
time in the future, but not until d
nancial conditions improved.
judge Henry was followed by MISS
Tyler who expressed qualification at
the splendid response the women
made and asked the workers to call
themselves the Board of Visitors OF
the Cambridge Maryland Hospital
She requested the county people to
notify Mrs. Robertson whenever peo-
pie in their section are in the hos
pital and it is impossible for their
friends to come to Cambridge to visit
them. Mrs Robertson will, in turn,
send visitors to encourage and CON-
fort the sick Miss Tyler also ap-
pealed for the Nurses Home, saying
it would serve a two-fold purpose,
that of giving more room for patti
