the patients actual bill was $3.50.
Group disqualification, he said, paid
$50. The difference between cost
and payment, he said, came mainly
from the extensive and expensive use
of penicillin.
Deaconess Margaret Bechtol of
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hos
pital said the costs of treating
patients were actually double what
Group disqualification was paying.
She pointed out that Episcopal was
a specialized hospital with a high
average of surgical work, which
caused the costs to spiral.
Robert G. Whitton, superintend-
ent of Alexandria Hospital, said he
felt Group disqualification, as we'll
as the similar organization in Vir-
ginia, will have to raise their per
diem rates or change their method
of payment if we are to continue
as participating hospital"
Basis of Billings.
Mr.. Whitton said he would op-
pose any rate less than 81 per cent
of what nonsubscribers are pay
ing. That is the amount the hos
pitfalls are demanding through their
council. The three per cent differ
ence is the estimated loss to hos
pitfalls on nonsubscribers, who don't
pay their bills.
Leo G. Schneider, superintendent
of George Washington University
Hospital, reported that the majority
of hospital insurance organizations
throughout the country paid on the
basis of billings-the same rates for
subscribers and nonsubscribers.
"The days of the multimillionaires
who endow hospitals are over" Mr..
Schneider said. More and more
hospitals depending on patients
rather than endowments for their
income. Where the income from one
patient is insufficient, we have to
charge other patients more"
Last October, Group Hospitaliza-
ton gave 100000 to its 16 member
hospitals on a pro rata basis.
The hospitals felt this was ges-
ture of good faith, showing recogni-

Mr.. Baird told the lawmakers this

when he informed them that Group
disqualification was not paying as
much for their care as other pa

He said his board of trustees felt
"it cannot continue to lose a ma
terial portion of its income for pa

fact that their obligation to the

Decision Postponed.
The Arlington Hospital board, he
said, told him to inform Group Hos

and was asked to withhold a de-
cision because Group Hospitaliza-
ton was going to take immediate
steps to negotiate the payments.
The Arlington board, Mr.. York re-
ported, reluctantly" agreed to the
postponement.
Superintendent Arthur B. Solon,
of Suburban Hospital, said his
board has decided it would event
ually" be impossible to continue ac-
cepting Group disqualification pa
tients unless the payments were in
creased. The board, he said, felt
the whole problem should be nego-
tiated by the Hospital Council since
it affected all hospitals, but ''if the
council cannot reach a satisfactory
agreement, we must withdraw"
There's no question of the value
of Group disqualification" Mr.. Scion
added. by paying small premiums,
individuals receive great benefits.
But to be equally fair to the hos
pital and non subscribers, those who
subscribe to Group disqualification
should pay as much as non-sub-
scribers."
At Garfield Hospital, DR.. Francis
J. Eisenman, hospital administrator,
announced that surcharge of five
per cent had been attached to all
bills of non-Group disqualification
patients admitted after January l.
He said if the hospitals could get
more equitable payment from Group
disqualification, the surcharge could
be eliminated and normal charges
could be cut 711a per cent more.
w. r. Castle, chairman of the
hospital council and president of
Garfield, reported Garfield lost $780,
coo last year on its Group Hospital
ization contracts. DR.. Eisenman said
% per cent of all Garfield patients
during the year were paid for
through the group plan.
Group disqualification rates it
was explained, are based on a slid
ing scale. The organization pays SIS
for one days care, $40 if the patient
is in the hospital two days, $27 for
three days and so on up to $6.75 a
day after the 10th day, according to
hospital reports.
Group disqualification patients
are entitled to semiprivate rooms,
medication, operating room, routine
laboratory tests, nursery care and
other services without additional
cost.

So your child will soon be of fol

when mothers got teary-eyed just

morning, but that was before we
recognized how unhappy a child
would be II he were not growing up
toward having wider, richer expert
ences than his home could give him.
You still feel pang at losing his
intimate companionship? But it's
mixed with joy in his having ma
tured enough to be able to do some
independent living.
Most children can hardly wait for
the big adventures happy one if
we plan well. Indeed, that planning
has been going on since your child's
birth. Everything you've done In the
way of giving him practice in solving
his own problems, like learning to
dress himself and care for himself
without help, mas been preparing
him for this new experience. If
you've accustomed him to playing
independently he will not be one of
those who make constant demands
on the teacher for help and support.
He won't run whining to her when
he gets hurt; he can hold his own
among other children. The practice
he's had In crossing streets and
oheying safety precautions will be
mighty useful now.

him fearless and self-confdent.
Children who are never threatened
or bullied go out into the world with
the expectation that other people
are going to be as friendly as their
parents. They respond happily to
their teachers, and get much more
out OF their first school experience
than children whose relations with
older people have intimidated them.
Your child has been learning what
cooperation" means when you've
made requests instead Of giving
commands. When you've kept out Of
his little squabbles with other chill
dren, you've let him find out for
himself how to get along with others.
What he tells you about his first
day in school won't be in words, most
likely; child Of this age hasn't the
time-sense that enables him to give
an orderly account. But by observ-
ing him closely you may learn some
thing about his feelings that will be
helpful. It is q big strain on chill
dren to take this first step outside
their homes. Some may 60 back for
while to babyish behavior because
they feel confused and uncertain.
Others may be wakeful at night
from overexcitement, or perhaps
eat poorly for q time. Every child
