REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL
The increase of work since the opening of the new building in June has proven the long felt want of accommodations to care for people of moderate means in their own community.
The growth of the Training School has reached the stage where it was necessary to employ a superintendent of nurses, and Miss Martha E. Kehoe, a graduate of Butler Hospital, was appointed to fill this position.
Through the kindness of Mr. Truman Temple, the librarian of the Thomas Crane Library, a bi-weekly distribution of books has been made possible and is greatly appreciated by all patients, children as well as adults.
The Hospital Aids have been most kind and helpful, not only with the sewing but also in bringing cheer to the sick who are alone.
I wish to extend to the doctors many thanks for their cooperation and loyalty to the institution.
Respectfully submitted,
RUTH J. ADIE, R. N. Superintendent.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING
The enrollment of graduate and student nurses at the close of the year 1926 is as follows:
Superintendent of Nurses
1
instructors
2
Graduate head nurses
6
Operating room supervisor
1
Night supervisors
2
Graduate floor nurses
11
Students-Seniors
7
Intermediates
12
Juniors
30
Thirty-three students have entered during the year; eight stu- dents have graduated and ten have withdrawn for various reasons.
Perhaps the greatest change in the policy of the school has been the acceptance of a four months' affiliation with the Yale School of Nursing, New Haven Hospital, New Haven, Connecticut, afford- ing us two months each of medical and contagious practical ex- perience.
Affiliations with Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston City Hospital were discontinued; negotiations are also being made with the New Haven Hospital to arrange an additional pediatric affilia- tion.
The increased bed capacity called immediately for more nurses; this has been met for the time by employing graduate nurses for general floor duty.
Additional students necessitated more efficient instructions. Miss Margaret F. Maine, R. N., was appointed January 1, 1926, as prac- tical instructor, also acting as an assistant in the training school office. Miss Ada M. Small, R.N., B.S., a graduate of the Newton Hospital, Newton, Massachusetts, also of Teachers' College, Colum- bia University, New York, who has previously served this school as visiting instructor, accepted the position of full-time theoretical instructor September 1, 1926.

CITY OF QUINCY
Graduation exercises of the School of Nursing occurred June 29, 1926, with Mr. Price presiding and Miss Carrie Hall, R. N., Super- intendent of Nurses, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, making the graduation address. Diplomas were presented by Dr. Hunting, and school pins, provided by the Hospital Aid Association, were also presented at this time by the president, Mrs. Carl Hayward.

Our new nurses' home will soon solve many of our problems in providing suitable and adequate housing, teaching and recreation facilities.
We wish to extend our thanks to the many friends, also to the members of the Hospital Aids, who have remembered the nurses in many ways throughout the year. A gift of a manikin from members of the Quincy City Hospital Alumnae Association has recently been added to our teaching equipment. This is greatly appreciated and will aid us in giivng more efficient instruction in anatomy.
We also desire to record our appreciation to the members of the attending staff and home staff for their professional services rendered to the graduates and students of the school and for their assistance in the classroom.
Respectfully submitted,
MARTHA E. KEHOE, R. N., Superintendent of Nurses.
