Archiieci of New Nemorial Hospital Describes lite'Evolution of Hospitals qn Inieresting Address ai Rotary "dWe frequenfly bear complaints about the cast o! hospifal service", stated Harold J. Smith, Toronto, architect for the new Memorial Hospital at Bowmanville, now i-n course o! construction, as be apoke before the Bowmanville Rotary Club ab the Êalmoral Motel Fmi- day noon. "But when we con- sider that a modemn hotel roomn costa $5 or $6. and that the room is only cleaned and supplied with new linen, we can't justly com- plain about the costs o! Hospital rooms", commented the speaker. The hospital gqives 24 hour ser- vice, highly-trained nurses, and three diefeticially balanced meals, i-n addition to the use o! the com- .àm4cated machinery which goes ta sist the doctors in healing the 15atient. Arcitct Aida Campalga Mr. Smith continued hi&a de- scription o!f the advance of lias- pital techniques, , consfanfly e- minding the listeners that he was aupporfing the fothcoming cam- paign for additional funds for the, construction o! the Memnorial Hos- pital. The hospital as we know It ta- day, he continued, bearu little e- semblance ta Ita elated institu- tion of 40 ta 50 years ago. The adl- vance in hospital structures lias >been as rapid and complete as the progresa in the design of indus- trial establushments. Non-Profit Unt. Most people, due ta the gaadi health which keepa them aout of hospitals, do not realize this. Butj we should keep this grewth lan the qualîty of architectural design of hospitals always in our mmnd. It should be understood that hos- pitals, unlike industry, do not make a profit. They cannot there- fore set up a reserve !rom their ordinary income, since service must be rendered almost at cost and often without payment. As a result, physical improvements. including new equipment and buildings, must largely be provid- ed by charitable campaigns or civic and governmental grants. Grant. Needed Outside grants must be made if the progress in hospital design is to continue. A glance at hospitals of an ear- lier era will give the reader an idea of the great advances which have occurred in medical and has- pifai practices in the past few de- cades. At the beginning of this century hospitals were looked upan gen-i erally as pest houses. They were thought of as places o! last resort,1 and anyone who entered the por-1 tals was as good as dead.
