OLD BARNS CANNOT BE
 MADE INTO HOSPITALS

"A national hospital day will jus tfy itself if it does no more than 10 inform the public that barns cannot be converted into hospSals." says letter from United States Surgeon Gen eral H. s. Cummings which has been received by Superintendent Sexton of the Hartford hospital, as chairman of com mittee arranging a national hospitt> day for May 12. The following is copy of the letter:
 T heartily approve your suggestion that May 12 he designated Annual Na- tionai Hospital day. on which special efforts shall be made to diffuse inforuia- tion concerning hospitals.
 The public naturally lacks inforna- tion on many points. For instance. al- though everyone who has tried to rent house or who reads a daily paper knows that there is a marked shortage in buildings, few people realize that this shortage is particularly marked in hos pitals and in buildings that can be con- verted into hospJaals. Most people, in deed. think that nearly any building can be made over into a hospital.
 Such beliefs are due of course If lack of information i7 regard to inc es- Sential requirement of both the site and the construction of a hospital building. The site. for instance. must have sur roundings that are sanitary both in sum mer and in winter. sn sbdndsn; supply of good water. a cheerful outlook. a satis- factory weather exposure. ard must be quiet and yet not too far removed from noisy transportation and from markets The buildings must have besides the nec- essary wards. sleeping accommodations (either in themselves or close Tt hand) for a personnel more than half as great as the expected patients, and also bathing. cooking aIC laundry facilities sufficient for hotel. isolation wards. a laboratory or pharmacy. solid,y built operating rooms. and so on. And lhe buildings that are to be converted into hospitals must have roms that canbe altered 10 meet tho
 needs at reasonable expense
 "A National Hospital Day will justify l itself if it does no more than 70 inform the public that barns cannot be converte ed | into hospitsls-and mat at Dresea= eyer barns are by no means easy to come by
