Our physicians consider that keeping them happy and inter- ested in intellectual and occupational work is a necessary cur- ative measure. It will cost $25,000 to enclose this large porch and there are no funds now available, the hospital being now 50 deeply in debt. The public is urgently requested to contri- bute to this splendid work for the helpless and suffering child- ren who so greatly need it. The Nurses’ homes are large, comfortable buildings, adja- rent to the hospital, where the nurses are amply and comfort- ably cared for. The training school, always an index of the usefulness of a hospital, is constantly increasing, both in num- bers and educational standards.

T. Price, M. D., is medical director and chief of staff. The active staff consists of: Dr. D. H. Boyd, Dr. J. K. Everhart, Dr. H. C. Flood, Dr. Z. R. Scott.
