WILLOUGHBY, the Nurses' Training School For Over Three Years--New Wing Will be in Operation Before End of the Year. The board of governors of the King ston general hospital, met Monday ai tb i o Tr. ternoon, with a good number present. The management committee's report was handled dause by clause and brought forth more or less discussion. The resignation of Miss B. J. Wil- loughby, superintendent of numses' training school, who has been in that! position for three and owmebali years, and who ig a graduate of Kingston general hospital, was received . with much regret, and a resolution to that effect was passed, by the board of gov- ernofs. She asked to be released on May first, and the committee was in structed to advertise for a suitable person to fill the position. The financial report embraced the whole six months, and showed a cou: siderable increase in the cost for that | time of nearly every item. This a mounted to the sum of $2,724, but was in ome measure offset by the increase in grants, from some of the counties. Still, it is felt to be a very difficult problem '10 continue the present high state of efficiency which the hospital is determined to do without any visible increase of rates. The number of patients admitted for the six months, were fifty-six in €xceds of the same six months last year. At the pasent time, the hospital is * so full that it is found difficult to place all who apply, but as patients are al- #0 going, as well as coming, the man agement has so far been able to a vange that all those applying, have been comfortably settled. The chairman of the building com mittee for the new wing brought in a verbal report, stating that he . felt confident that before the year closed, the new wing would be in operation Dr. Boyce, who is president of the CanadM™n hospital association, was appointed to 'represent this hospitat at their annual meeting to be held in Toronto the end of this week, A number of other matters came up for discussion, among them the one which appeared in the press recently, namely the statement of a cily doator that he would not be allowed to fol low a ward patient into the general hospital and attend it there. It was explained thal the rule in the ! King- ston general hospital and also in nearly all hospitals on this continent, is that any patient coming into the hospital may be attended by any phy- sician they choose, provided they are pay patients. But if they come in as non-pay patients, then they can only be attended by the reguiar appointed Medical staff of the institufion, as it # righlly assumed that if a patient can afford to pay their family physi- cian, they can afford to pay fifty cents a day to the hospital. The visiting governors brought in quite a lengthy written report prais- ing many parts of the hospital, and criticising others, at the same time making many valuable suggestions. The report was referred] to the mem- bers of the committee of management. who will take up these questions dur/ ing the month. + The board expressed its thankfulness; and appreciation, to the members of the 'city council, for granting them the sum they asked for, namely, 85.000 40 wards the erection of the much needed addition to the*institution. Dr. Bogart and T. W. Milo were ap nointed visiting governors for the pres ent month. The following members were present: F. 00. Lockett (chairman): B. W. Rob- ertson. Prof. D. H. Marshall, Lieut.
