sumo her duties next Monday. Miss
Ryder is very well and favorably known
here as she is one of the earlier graduates
of the Hospital training school, later reg
istered in Maine, has had experience in
institutional work in Maine and in Mas
sachusetts, has been for some time assist
ant superintendent at the Waldo County
Hospital and substituted during the vaca-
tions of the regular superintendents. The
directors consider that she is especially
we'll fitted to take up the duties of the
position. Miss Wescott, the retiring su-
perntendent, has given the very best
satisfaction in every branch of the po-
sition and deserves the rest for two
months which she plans to take before
entering upon any other work. The Hos
pital is in the best of condition today and
the directors attribute much of it to Miss
Wescott's efficiency and popularity.
