SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT early months, Probably most people’ would be not a little surprised if told that hospital service should be classed among the luxuries of the present day. Certainly no ‘|one choozes voluntarily to become ill in order to participate in this luxury. | Rather than concede it to be a luxury many will tell you & hospital is a good This also is a cofitention that challenges~ A little ‘reflection, however, reveals the fact that when one ia overtaken by illnéss he is only too glad to have hospital facilities accessible, and to be in a position financially to avail himself of the luxury of them. It is in this respect that hospitals find their financial condition’ reflecting that of the country and the people in general. hospitals find their wards cecupied to capacity by patienta well able to repay the cout of service rendered them, On the other hand, in times of stringency there aie more empty beds, and those that are occupied will show a higher percentage of patients unable t6 adequately reimburse the hospital for what they are compelled ta ask of them, The larger percentage of empty beds is to be interpreted as indicating, not less illness. in the community, but the corresponding proportion of patients remaining in their homes, often with sadly inadequate nursing, rather than seeking admission to hospital: and incurring financial obligations they.are unable to meet, * ‘This report we present to you today is in many Teapects to he explained on the principles as above described. The attendance of patients has been somewhat below normal, and this is accompanied by marked decrease in financial returns from the patients themselves, Had it not been that special financial assistance has been made available to the hospital ffom organizations interested in the service it stands for, it would have been impossible for it to meet its obligations, In other words, it would have had to close its doors. More extended comment upon this phase of work is being made in the report Lof your Advisory Board which accompanies this, One of the most pleasing and encouraging features of the year waa the celebration on May 12th of the annual ‘‘Hosrrra, Day'’, ‘This was only the second necasion of the celebration of an event which has certainly “come to stay’’, ” ‘Instead of merely making a day of it, the exercises were extended over four days, closing with appropriate references to the all-importance of the subject by the pastors of the local churches in their Sunday Services. place to keep away from. but. friendly messafres of loyal sympathy, accompanied by donations, were sent in from a number of. outside points, ag far west as Terrace. The matter of bringing in money was made distinctly secondary to » that of creating and stimulating 2 sympathetic interest in the hospital and its - work. Notwithstanding this, the very creditable sum of $495.15 was turned ‘over to the Treasurer as the net proceeds of the events connected with the Day. The attendance of visitors to the hospital on the occasion of the Reception was more than double that of the preceding year. From the standpoint of the management of the hospital, this splendid attendance constituted the most certain evidence of the success of the event. 18 is pratifying to be able to report that at last the very necessary repairs that wére postponed from year to year during war time and since, have at last | received attention, - This has been made possible by the response of the different governments and Methodist. Church organizations to our urgent representations of the absolute necessity of the case.. good shape before winter, The repair work will be resumed as soon as weather’ conditions permit in the Spring, and will comprise new shingles on most of the roofs, some brick chimneys, and a large amount of painting both inside and out. Also some repaira to plumbing and some new fixtures, The exceptional drouth of last summer accentuated the problem of a somewhat too limited water supply. This was remedied by locating a new well with a much stronger flow and piping water from that to the former well, from which it is pumped to tanks within the buildings. We now have a permanently abundant supply of water. ; : - = Temp’re— _—Precipitation— Depth _ an om Date, Max, Min.- Rain Snow Total tater Remarks ° ‘Wind oe Sunday, Jan. 28.... 20 ..
