The Women's Ward has been repainted for the first time since the Hospital opened. The only additional expense to the Hospital for this was the paint, the work being done by the Janitor.
The old X-Ray developing room has also been finished over in the same manner, making a very nice Splintroom. This comes in very handy as we have quite a large number of splints, having added some of the most modern splints to the former equipment.
The Ladies' Aid Association has been as good to us as usual,-as well as supplying all the linen that has been needed for the Hospital, they

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AID ASSOCIATION
Five regular meetings and one special meeting of the Sturdy Memo- rial Hospital Aid Association have been held during 1923 and 1924 up to October 6th, also two meetings of the Executive Board.
The average attendance at these meetings was eight. During the time mentioned the Hospital Aid Association became a charter member of the Attleboro Community Chest, the President and Treasurer being voted as delegates to the chest with the power of signing the constitution and by-laws for the organization.
A Hospital Aid Trust Fund was created with the following voted as trustees : Mrs. J. L. Sweet, for three years; Mrs. H. P. Kent, for two years, and Mrs. A. A. McRae for one year.
The Hospital Aid Association voted in January 1923, to pay for the free bed for obstetrical work at the Hospital, limiting itself to $500.00; also $500.00 for the Women's and Children's free beds. In Jan. 1924 the Association voted to pay $1,000 for the Women's and Children's Free Beds in the Hospital. In June, 1923, the Florence Hayward Sweet Mater- nity Building was formally opened and the Association assisted with the decorations and in other ways.
In November, 1923, a very successful Donation Day was held under the direction of the President, Mrs. Baker.
It was voted to change the date of our annual meeting from January to October, to correspond with the fiscal year of the Community Chest.
A committee was appointed by the President to revise the constitu- tion and by-laws of the Hospital Aid Association. The committee was composed of the trustees, Mrs. Etta F. Kent, Mrs. Martha McRae and Mrs. Florence N. Sweet. The Association voted to adopt the constitution and by-laws submitted by them.
The Association became a member of the Central Council of Social Agencies.
Mrs. Julia Crosby resigned as chairman of the Sewing Committee and the Guild of Young Women in the Congregational Church were asked to act as the Sewing Committee until October, 1924. Upon being asked the ladies of the North Attleboro Churches expressed their willingness to assist in sewing and mending for the Hospital.
At the April meeting, 1924, the Association voted to buy a new frac- ture table estimated cost to be $425.00, and to finance the repainting of the Operating Room at the Hospital. It was also voted to supply an addition to the X-Ray Machine, limiting the Purchasing Committee to $1,100.00 for the article named.
A report of the Treasurer follows.

CHARITY DEPARTMENT
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council :-
We submit the following report for the year 1924. The organi- zation of the Board remained the same as the year 1923, Wm. A. Cook, Chairman, Joseph Hardy, Visitor, E. Grace King, Clerk.
We have aided during the year 128 families, 602 individuals, divided as follows:

On Mother's Aid we had at the beginning of the year 17 cases, have added 4, closed 3, leaving 18 at the end of the year.
On Temporary Aid we had 9 cases, have added 25, closed 13, leaving 21.
The Outside Relief cases include eleven old couples cared for in their own homes, 4 aged persons boarded in families, 9 children boarded in families and two in the care of the State Division of Child Guardian- ship.
During the year a total of 305 visits were made on temporary aid and Outside Relief cases, five visits were made on cases outside the city, a total of 73 visits on Mother's Aid cases, as required by law, all new applications for relief were referred to the Visitor who investigated the legal settlement of applicants, so that Attleboro would not be charged with the support of people who should be supported by other communit- ies, visits have been made whenever time would permit on cases being aided by other cities and towns that had a settlement here. A total of 24 legal settlements were determined for the Board of Health during the year and in certain cases for other cities or towns admitted to Bristol County Hospital and other Hospitals. During the past year the visiting and settlement have been very important as our table of payments by the Commonwealth and other cities and towns will show. Efforts of a con- structive nature and activities which look to the moral and physical welfare of the dependent have been the policy of the department the past year. Cases have been handled with the end in view of making the dependent self-supporting. It has been our desire to show the dependent poor ways and means of getting along without aid except, of course, in those cases where some assistance was necessary for the family to live. While the Dept. intend to promptly and adequately aid the distress of any person brought to our attention who falls into want, we have felt that it is within the province of this Department to instruct certain cases to try and form the habit of assuming responsibilities that belong to themselves
50
ANNUAL REPORT
and their families rather than the public. We have been able to perform some real constructive work along these lines the past year with the co- operation of the several social agencies of the City.
Some of the cases that we were called into have been very trying, others have run more smoothly. Real Estate sales which increased rents caused much inconvenience for some of our families and increased the cost to the Dept. which has been obliged to assume the expense in some cases in order to provide shelter for our dependent families.
Mother's Aid.
The families benefiting under the provisions of this law are in a very comfortable condition. This is the most liberal relief law on the books of any state in the Union. Close supervision of these cases is necessary. Quarterly visits are required by law in these cases, but one visit in three months has not proven what it was intended to be, a benefit to those being aided. In most cities and towns doing good work under this law, visits are made once a month or oftener. It is naturally impossible to have an intimate knowledge of family conditions and needs when, owing to other case loads families can be visited so rarely as once in three months. The value to the community of having dependent children grow up in good health is obvious, therefore a good standard should at least require one monthly visit, and in some cases more, good constructive work in these dependent families demand it. It is difficult to judge the health of child- ren from records and it would seem that an obligation rests on this Board when some of these children become of working age to place them in suitable employment, performed under healthful conditions and that offers some opportunity for advancement. The Board has done some real constructive work along these lines when time would permit. We have placed a number of these children in good healthful occupations and much improvement in physical condition is apparent in many of the families so aided.
City Home.
The City Home continues to be efficiently and satisfactorily managed by Mrs. Adelaide L. Hoyle, who has been appointed non-competitive Supt., under the Civil Service rules.
Her mother, Mrs. Olive Hagar, permanently retired as assistant Supt. early in Sept. and a man was hired to help with the work.
There were in the Home at the beginning of the year nine men and three women, four men and four women have been admitted, five men and one women have left, leaving eight men and six women there at the end of the year. One of the men in and out was a boarder.
Improvements at the City Home.
We are pleased to report a number of improvements in the property at the City Home. The heating plant overhauled last year continues to give satisfactory service, the water stays in the boiler, the plant heats the house to the satisfaction of all on about five tons a month, whereas it was burning 48 tons a year and not heating the house.
The disgraceful, tumbledown hen house has been rebuilt into an up-to-date, electrically lighted poultry plant that is a credit to the city. The cattle have been improved by selling and trading off scrubs, non- producers and blind and starting a herd of pure bred Jersey's headed by a $1,000.00 bull kindly donated to the city by Mr. J. L. Sweet from his herd of accredited and registered Jersey's at Cowsett Farm.
51
ANNUAL REPORT
The swine have been improved by putting in pure bred Berkshires that put on weight, and building a hog fence to let them out into the sunshine instead of keeping them cooped up in the darkness under the barn. Two poultry fences of heavy wire have also been erected.
The soil is being improved by methods furnished by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture and the Mass. Agricultural College at Amherst.
The Farm produced 200 bu. of potatoes against 110 bu. last year.
Some of the vegetable crops, however, were hard hit by the long continued drouth, much of the land being dry and sandy.
The Farm was almost devoid of fruit but we have set out this year over 100 fruit trees, consisting of apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, quinces and apricots, and several thousand small fruits, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, dewberries and grapes and an asparagas bed of some 500 plants. All these improvements have been accomplished at no more extra expense than was necessary to carry the extra people, 14 against 12 last year, and 16 for a part of the year, and for several hundred dollars less than the appropriation for the Home within a few years.
