dictated by the growing need of the
Homeopathic Hospital for funds to-
keep the hospitals service abreast
with the great growth of Will
mington. The trustees and managers
decided that public campaign was
the only method by which the insti-
tuition could meet the constantly
growing demand made upon it for
increased community service and
for a modernization of the plant
which has been serving this city and
State for the last thirty-four years.
The specific needs of the hospital
for which the fund of $250,000 will
be sought in October are:
A nurses's home.
Improved and enlarged x-ray
equipment.
An enlarged dispensary.
A central heating plant.
Various internal improvements.
The providing Of an endowment to
continue free work.
The bringing of the hospital up
American College of Surgeons.
Campaign headquarters have been
established and opened today in the
Wilmington Savings Fund Society
Building, Market and Ninth streets.
From this headquarters will be di-
rected the formation of the cam
paign organization of at least forty
teams, divided into a mems and a
women's division of twenty teams
each. with divisional chairmen, cap
tains and lieutenants.
Wilmington will be thoroughly
covered by the campaign organi2a-
tion. The adjacent communities OF
Delaware which have enjoyed the
benefits and services of the Homeo-
pathic Hospital during the last thir-
ty-four years also. will be given op-
portunity to show their apprecia-
tion Of this institutions continued
service.
The hospital has had to meet all
demand for public service which has
grown from the admission and care
Of 73 patients in 1888 TO the admis-
sion and care OF 1347 in 1921, while
its free dispensary service has
mounted TO tens of thousands. In
he same period, the hospitals plant
and sources of income have not in
creased in proportion TO the great
demand made upon the institution.

Iuate scale followed.
