You will note from the statistics
sst forth that. there we're IFS less
patients admitted than during the
previous year. With few exceptions
Tiers was a similar decrease in the
number Of patients treated in most
of the hospitals throughout the east.
This Was very generally attributed to
the somewhat unsettled business con-
EDITIONS existing during the summer
months, forcing many wage earners
to shorter hours Of employment De-
creased earnings invariably result in
fewer calls ON doctors. Hence, less
patients are sent to hospitals. As
the fall months approached. the con-
dition became quite marked, inso-
much that we considered reducing
our force OF employees. But it was
found that to effect any material
saving in the cost Of maintenance
We should have had to cut down the
professional employees. This We felt
would have been an unwise move,
for 1t ID not easy to secure on short
notice, the type Of professional peo-
pie We require, and. ~ have many
times stated. 2 hospital. like a fire
department.. must be ever ready to
meet emergencies. and We would not
have been ready with . depleted
force.
There were AS medical and g.
|056 surgical patients. 624 maternity
and 5sc infants. AL told the pa
tents spent 47,S26 days in the hos
pital. This does not include the g.
4b3 out-patients who came to the
hospital for various diagnoses and
treatments but not hospitalized.
There was a rather marked increase
in the number Of ward patients.
there being 1861 a. against S6s last
year. 1t is particularly gratifying to
know that We have rendered larg-
er service to those unable to pay for
more expensive accommo dations.
Ward patients are charged about
half Of what 1t costs the hospital for
their care. They receive the same
nursing and medical and surgical
skill as do the private patients. Even
consultation by the best doctors in
the county costs these patients MOTH
ing.
THE hospital is here to serve peo-
pie Of all financial conditions and
no one In need Of care is ever refus-
ed admission to our wards for H.
rancial reasons. There were $500
days Of care and treatment
given ward patients absolutely with
out charge. Obviously, 1t would not

There were SOS patients from

ACCORDING to report submitted
this afternoon by DIR. T. Eben Reeks
superintendent. at the 29.A annual
meeting of the hospital
How a hospitals morblaWy report
sometimes is misleading is shown in
DIR. Reeks' report. which points out
that of 1872 deaths in the hospital.
less than half or only 81 we're insti-
tutional deaths. OF the remainder
Is patients practically were In dy-
ing condition wheS they reatS ID the
hospital and 20 preNature births
are recorded as deaths.
That the new ambulance is prov
ing necessity is shown by the re-
port which points out that this
vehicle answered almost s<S calls.
DR.. Reeks points out <hat the
tendency among local physicians to
specialize and render themselves
more efficient in specific lines has
helped cause the hospital to adapt
itself to calls for more specialized
service, He calls attention to the
growing need for more adequate
accommodations for the medical
wards. which are still housed in the
old building, and for the need OF
greater accommodations for a grow
ing school OF nursing.
A fact long known by newspaper
men but made public today for the
first time is the fact that flowers
which grace the tables in the
nurses dining rooms are the gifts
OF G. F. Smith. chairman Of the
board Of directors Of Landers. Frary
e. Clark. Mr.. Smith recently spoke
at a meeting of the nurses and in
ternes and the gift OF flowers fol-
lowed.
The gift Is reported in her an

maintenance work on and about the
property has kept our six mechan-
les unusually busy. In addition to
repairs too numerous to mention in
this report. the entire interior Of the
nurses home and several parts Of
the hospital were re-painted. and
steam and water lines extended To
other hospital property.
1.-The requests to the hospital re-
ported by the treasurer are most
gratifying to me. al indeed they are
to all. for it Is only by such gener-
osity that the institution has been
able to reach its present profession
al efficiency.
Il desire to make grateful ack.
nowledgement for the advice. CO.
operation and encouragement given
me year after year by our presi-
dent, also to the DIRECTORS for their
splendid support.
The hospital is indebted to many
individuals who have unselfishly
given their time and energy to as
sist in in one way and another. and
to others. who have remembered us
with flowers, fruit, books. maya
zines and donations.
THE woman's board has been
markedly active in the interest Of
the hospital. In addition to the ma
terial aid of its members 1t would
be difficult to estimate how far the
Influence of this board extends.
Through its fundamentally. great
quantities OF surgical dressings are
made by groups OF ladies from
various churches. One group also
made 20S,725 dressings. Mrs. v. A..
Sheldon. the head of a group. gen.
erouly donated three dozen COM
fdftable. high back chairs for the
surgical dressing room.
II wish to pay tribute to the
medical and dental stats for their
cooperation and to express appre-
citation TO the heads of departments,
nurses and employees for their loyal
ty to me in the management of this
institution.
