The schedule of sewer betterments amounting to $7,127.31 was com- pleted and levied December 27, 1922.


Storm Drainage System


The installation of a storm drainage system starting near the junction of Canal and Coddington Streets was begun this year. The construction so far has been carried on by this department. The work consisted of the construction of a re-enforced concrete tide chamber of six compartments, the setting of four 24-inch Coffin flap valves, bronze mounted; provision

being made for two more to be installed in the future. Two lines of 24- inch Akron pipe jointed with G. K. compound were laid in parallel lines from this chamber through Canal Street to Coddington Street and then through Faxon Field to a point 400 feet east of Woodward Avenue, where a special manhole was built. From here a single line of 24-inch pipe was carried to the junction of Woodward Avenue and Huntly Road where it joins the 15-inch drain from Hancock Street. A branch line of 12-inch pipe was laid from this drain to the new high school to take care of the roof water. The pipe lines through Faxon Field are laid on a platform supported by piling.


In consideration of the heavy character of the work, the difficulty in making the excavation through this meadow, caused by the mass of large tree stumps and roots, together with the small number of men employed, good progress was made. A further extension of this work is strongly recommended.


Recommendations


This department again urges the importance of installing sewers and all their appurtenances in so far as possible at least one year previous to the permanent improvement of any street surface.


Appended is a list of sewers built during the year 1922.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS


To His Honor the Mayor and the President and Members of the City Council.


GENTLEMEN: - The Board of Managers of the Hospital Department respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1922, this being the thirty-third annual report since the founding of the hos- pital in 1889 and the third issue since it was taken over by the city.


Fifteen meetings have been held during the year, usually on the second Tuesday of each month but also at such other times as seemed necessary.


One change in the personnel of the Board has occurred during the year by the resignation, on account of leaving the city, of our esteemed asso- ciate John J. Carey, who was a member and clerk of the Board as origi-


282


CITY OF QUINCY


nally appointed when the department was created in 1919, and the appoint- ment of William A. Carey in his place.


There has been a change in the staff by the resignation, on account of ill health occasioned by war service, of Dr. Sydney C. Hardwick, after many years of highly efficient service to the Hospital. The new appoint- ments to the staff have been made, that of Dr. Richard M. Ash as asso- ciate surgeon and Dr. Roscoe S. K. Hanigan as physician.


Admissions of patients during the year numbered 1,918 as compared with 1,832 for the year 1921, an increase of 86.


The American College of Surgeons has been making a survey of the hos- pitals throughout the country in order to bring about hospital standardi- zation. We have endeavored to meet the requirements of the minimum standard. This work is still in progress.


Records. - The work in this department has shown marked improve- ment during the past year and has received the hearty co-operation of the staff.


X-Ray. - The work in this department continues to be satisfactory under the supervision of Dr. Frank E. Wheatley. No changes or addi- tions have been made. It does not seem advisable to increase the equip- ment until either a new department or an addition to the present room is provided.


Laboratory. - The laboratory which has been fitted up in the basement of the Operating Building has proved a valuable addition to the Hospital equipment. A technician has been appointed and we hope during the coming year to increase the work of the department.


While it has been the policy of the Board to maintain the property of the Hospital in good repair, no considerable expenditure has been made without keeping in mind the growth of the Hospital according to a well- conceived and comprehensive plan.


The most important work for the year has been the beginning of the new service building, made possible by the two appropriations passed by the Council and approved by the Mayor. The contracts for the work have been awarded to the following firms: -

This building of ample capacity, and now under construction, designed to meet the present and future needs for many years to come, gathers under one roof the heating plant with adequate space for storage of coal, refrigeration plant, store room for supplies, kitchens, dining rooms and laundry. This concentration of so many of the service activities should result in marked efficiency and satisfaction.


The Board does not wish, however, to convey the idea that the comple- tion of the service building will fulfill the needs of the Hospital for new buildings even for the immediate future. It is but the first necessary step toward the ultimate development of the institution to meet the require- ments of our rapidly growing city.


283


REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL


The active and constantly increasing demand for maternity accommoda- tions and private rooms still continues and we earnestly recommend that this pressing need may receive your early and favorable consideration.


In closing we gratefully acknowledge, gentlemen, your hearty co-opera- tion and that of the several departments of the city, the generous contribu- tions and the active and sympathetic interest of the Hospital Aid Associa- tion, the churches and other organizations of the city, and the many words of helpful suggestion and appreciation from our patients and citizens.


The financial statement of the operations of the past year, together with the report of the superintendent, are annexed hereto.

REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL AID ASSOCIATION


The Hospital Aid Association has had its regular meetings on the last Thursday of each month at the Community Rooms in Adams Academy. These meetings have been devoted to service for the Hospital. Our friends in the various church organizations, other groups of women and individuals have helped in this good work and the result has been most satisfactory.


We have tried to be of service to the Nurses' Training School first, by offering a scholarship in public health nursing in Simmons College; second, by providing a small fund for the nurses' recreation; third, by adding several new books to their reference library; fourth, by subscribing to three current magazines for their use, and fifth, by giving to the graduate nurses their Quincy Hospital pins.


At Christmas we sent a small gift to every patient in the Hospital, hoping to bring cheer to those so unfortunate as to be sick during the holiday season.


This association is deeply interested in the hospital and its welfare. The president has spoken at other meetings, making an effort to arouse greater interest among the citizens, too many of whom are indifferent to the Hos- pital and its needs.


We congratulate the Board of Trustees, in that they have succeeded in securing a new service building so sorely needed. With this beginning, we can look forward to 1923 with greater hope and enthusiasm.


MARY G. C. HOMER, President.


TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES


The City Hospital of Quincy Training School for Nurses was established in 1890.


The course covers a period of three years: preliminary course, three months; junior year, nine months; intermediate year, twelve months; senior year, twelve months.


The hours of duty are arranged in accordance with the required class work. The pupil averages eight hours a day in the wards. One-half day


289


REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL


each Sunday, one-half day each week and two hours daily are given for rest and recreation. During the preliminary course the time spent in the wards does not exceed four hours daily.


Candidates are expected to report promptly on the date specified. Any change of plan or address should be reported to the superintendent of the Training School.


Lectures, recitations, demonstrations and laboratory work are given in the required subjects in the classroom of the Nurses' Horne.


Admission


An applicant to be considered for admission should apply to the super- intendent of the Training School in person, or if this is not possible a written application may be submitted. The letter should be accompanied by a certificate from a physician testifying to the sound physical condition of the applicant, and also for reference the addresses of three responsible persons, not relatives; it is suggested that one of these letters should be from the principal of the school from which the applicant graduated and one from the last employer if previously employed.


In April and September applicants may be received for the preliminary course of three months, at the end of which time, if accepted as pupils, they must agree to conform to the rules of the Hospital for a full term of three years. The preliminary course is continuous with the regular course.


Age


There is no rule regarding age, but applicants between twenty and thirty are preferable.


Physique


Applicants should be of average size and weight and must be in good health. Teeth should be in good condition, and if necessary eyes should receive attention before entering for the preliminary course.


Education


A high school education or its equivalent is essential. If the candidate does not hold a high school or private school diploma, she will be required to give the name and address of some foriner instructor who may be referred to by the superintendent of the Training School.


Expenses


No tuition fee is required. The pupils will be provided with board, lodging and laundry throughout the period of the course. They will be required to provide themselves with uniforms for the preliminary course, but after acceptance these will be provided by the Training School.


The education and maintenance are considered ample compensation for services rendered. After a probationer has been accepted as a pupil, a monthly allowance of $8 is made to defray the expenses of textbooks, etc., incidental to training.


A deposit of $10 is required for each pupil at the time of enrollment to cover the charges for possible breakage and damage to hospital and labora- tory appliances. If there are no charges against the pupil, the money will be refunded when she leaves the school; or if breakage exceeds the amount deposited, she will pay for the excess at the close of the third year. Other expenditures depend upon the personal habits of the pupil.


290


CITY OF QUINCY


Illness


Pupils are given medical and surgical treatment and nursing care dur- ing illness, but time lost must be made up at the end of the course.


Absences are not allowed except in extreme instances. Pupils are not allowed during the course of instruction to nurse sick relatives or to absent themselves for any other personal reasons.


Residence


There are two pleasant, comfortable homes. The Faxon Home is situ- ated on the grounds and has an attractive reception room, library, class- room, etc. An increase in the number of pupils has made it necessary to occupy a residence just outside the hospital grounds. This home also has an attractive living room and reception hall. Both homes are carefully chaperoned.


Examinations


Examinations, both practical and theoretical, will be held at the com- pletion of the preliminary course, and at the end of each course of lectures. A passing mark for the examinations, combined with the general record, which includes practical work, conduct and efficiency, will determine the advancement of the pupil into a higher class.


The decision as to the propriety of retaining the pupil in the Training School upon the completion of the preliminary course will be made by the superintendent of the Training School upon the recommendations of the instructors under whom the pupil has taken her course. The superin- tendent of the Training School and the Training School Committee may dismiss a pupil at any time for reasons which seem to them sufficient.


Discipline


The problem of rules and regulations in the Training School has received careful consideration. Promptness, regularity, obedience, careful obser- vation and courtesy are essential to the success of a nurse. There must be explicit rules with strict enforcement, but they are rules that any self- respecting, earnest young woman will recognize as fair and necessary.


Vacation


A vacation of three weeks will be given near the close of both the first and second years.


Graduation


When the prescribed course of three years is completed and the final examinations passed, the pupil will receive the diploma and pin of the school.
