Improvement Worked For.
"Since the reorganization of the
hospital In October. 1920. the ladies'
board has worked consistently and
persistently for the improvement of
our then antiquated plant and the
physical upbuilding Of each depart
ment of the hospital" Mrs. Brooke
wrote in f:er annual report this year
of the boards work.
Certain major structural changes
are still acknowledged by all to be
fundamental need; but, forgetting
these for the moment. We feel we can
rest content with the assurance that
the maintenance of the old buildings
is on a high standard and the equip
ment in excellent condition.
This Is the second OF a series of
