terests of the institution, in affording every possible means known to medical science for the comfort and relief of those entrusted to its care. It is gratifying to note the interest so manifest in the managers, a number of the managers of the present day being the grand-children of the founders. The hospital was one of the first in the country to introduce a training school for nurses. The service this single department has rendered not only to the mentally ill, but to all classes of suffering, is recognized throughout the State; the graduates from the school occupying many positions of trust and respon- sibility in not only Pennsylvania, but in other States, and during the World War many of its graduates were in the ser- vice in this country, as well as in the hospital at the front and in the larger cities in the countries involved. The medical service is aided by a well equipped labora- tory. During the history of the hospital it has had but nine presidents; Thomas Bakewell, John Harper, John A.Harper, Robert Pitcairn, William M. Kennedy, Charles C. Townsend, R. B. Mellon, James H. Reed and David A. Reed, the posi- tion being occupied at the present time by the Honorable David A. Reed, a grandson of the former Superintendent Joseph A. Reed, and a son of the former President James H. Reed. The hospital has had but two superintendents. Dr. Joseph Allison Reed having been chosen to that position in 1857, and who continued office until his death November 6, 1884, and the present incumbent. Dr. Henrv A. Hutchinson. THE EYE AND EAR HOSPITAL On May 20, 1895, the Eye and Ear Hospital came into existence, and its first home was 945 Penn avenue. A little blind girl who came to the attention of one of the women founders was the generating spark which led to the busy organization of the present day. The following persons met and signed the application for the charter and became the first board: Mrs. C. C. Beggs, Mrs. H. C. Beggs, Mrs. Francis Childs, Mrs. A. P. Childs, Jr., Mrs. M. L. Dallneyer, Mrs. F. A. Dilworth, Mrs. J. Duncan Dithridge, Mrs. William Flinn, Mrs. John B. Herron, Jr.,
