SAYS CITY HOSPITAL
PATIENTS ARE GIVEN
BEST POSSIBLE CARE

Patients who go to Reid Memorial
hospital for treatment at the expense
Of the city. are given the same amount
Of attention and receive the interest
in the case the same as those VINO are
able to enter the hospital for private
treatment" DR. Z. r. Ross explained
to the Kiwanis club Thursday.
"Those persons who enter the nos
pitaI are treated by doctor OF tne
staff and they can rest assured ina,
the doctors on the staff are all gooo
doctors.
Before patient is operated upon,
or their case is looked into, the DOC
tor goes through a thorough examina-
ton and record is made out explain
ing thoroughly the condition OF the
patient"
DR. Ross stated that he came be-
fore the Kiwanis club, representing
the hospital and that 1t was his pur-
nose to explain and further informa-
ton to the Kiwanians, the system
which is being used at the hospital.
He said. "In an effort to work out
a basis for higher medical work, 1t is
necessary for a hospital to standardize
suits.
: Cannot Force System, ....
"The college of surgeons can not
force hospitals to comply with GER
tain systems in running the hospltai.
1t is the best policy to make efforts
Ito meet the higher standards OF the
Surgeons college to perform more ef-
ficient work. -
when a patient is discharged from
the hospital, statement is made out
whether he is cured. This is applied
to the patients which are discharged
each month. This sort OF efficiency
shows just how the work which is be
ing done, is progressing.
"The whole system instills desire
into a doctor to perform greater effic-
iency in his work"
DR.. Ross concluded that 1t was the
outlook of the staff to see that every.
thing progresses in a satisfactory
smanner and that improvements might
sbe made at every chance.
Thursdays meeting of the Kiwanis
club witnessed an intense drive foI
higher percentage of attendance. Only

tague was subject to an attack in the
house of commons last month in a
speech by Sir William Joynson-Hicks,
who deprecated the secretary's idea
of trying to govern India according
to liberal and home rule ideas"

Montague was that he had allowed too
much freedom to Gandhi, the non-co-
operationist leader Premier Lloyd
George, in long speech, came to the
secretary's defense, pointing out that
Mr.. Montague had been attacked by
some because he had gone too far and
