quarters, warehouse, garage, laundry, heating and engineer- ing plant, sewer disposal plant with shops for engineers, car- penters, plumbers and painters, also a large recreational building consisting of an auditorium with a seating capacity of 400, a stage fully equipped with scenery, moving picture screen, booth and machine, school rooms, complete library and reading room, barber shop, canteen, occupational ther- apy, ete. It can never be said that the United States Government is either indifferent or negligent in caring for its disabled ex-ser- vice men, for besides compensation of service connected disa- bilities, it provides hospitalization for those who need it, free of charge, and a system of war risk insurance which is at actual cost. In devising a system of relief that has never been attempt- ed or equaled anywhere before, the Veterans’ Bureau has spent approximately the staggering sum of $64,000,000 in hospital construction and the end has not yet been reached. Here, not only are disabled bodies rehabilitated, but the men- tality is improved by maintaining a corps of aides who teach useful and diversional occupations as well as academic courses, and a library, which during the fiscal year just closed, had a circulation of 10,000 books of fiction and non-fiction. The plant is a model small borough with its water, sewer and lighting systems, fire and police departments, mainten- ance of buildings, roads, streets and grounds. It has a com- plete modern laundry, central heating and engineering plant, warehouse, retail and wholesale stores, garage and chauffeurs with transportation service. The hospital maintains a complete staff of full-time pro- fessional tuberculosis experts, roentgenologist, dentist, patho- logical and bacteriological laboratories, physiotherapy de- partment, eye, ear, nose, and throat clinic, with consultants in all specialties, dietitians, aides, graduated, registered nurses, orderlies and attendants. In addition to a thoroughly complete professional operat- ing staff and equipment, there is an administrative staff which includes the auditing and disbursing departments so that ac- counts may be paid immediately. The hospital is organized on strictly practical business principles and operates with its own individual budget.
