the new hospital was opened to visitors, and shortly there-
after active work was begun. The total number of house pa-
tients admitted during this year, 1911, was 386.
The institution has constantly grown until at present it is
impossible to accommodate all those who request treatment.
The total number of patients admitted during the year 1927
was 2825, an increase of more than 600 per cent over 1911.
However, it is hoped that this condition will be relieved in the
near future, a large plot of ground in Brookline having been
purchased recently. Plans for a well equipped, modern hospi-
al and nurses’ home are under consideration.

ST. MARGARET MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
St. Margaret Memorial Hospital was founded by the will
of John H. Shoenberger, one of Pittsburgh’s pioneer steel
men, who died in November, 1889, and who provided for the
formation of a corporation for the erection and maintenance
of a Protestant Episcopal Church Hospital, in memory of his
deceased wife, Margaret Cust Shoenberger. The site of the
hospital, on Forty-sixth street, above Butler street, was a
part of the summer residence of Mr. Shoenberger and his wife.
at practically full capacity. A training school for nurses is a
part of the hospital.
