the georgetown herald wednesday evening december 2 1 at 1938 page7 kings for choice meats and christmas poultry at lowest prices we wish everybody a very merry christmas we have calendar f a ouruatome and friends call and get one boy leaves hospital under his own power after four long years lads parents dont pay question how about it now dont lh doctors end hospital make some cent for expert care and treatment eight yearold jim has gone back to the north country after four yean in the hosp tal tor sick children toronto he walked out carrying bis own handbag four years earlier when be was hardly more than a baby bis parents snade the long journey down to to ronto bringing jim with them they appeared in the out patients clinic t the hospital for sick children and told the doctor that jim had a sore back as they do with thousands ol other patients every year the doctors at the clinic gave the little boy a thor ough examination some of the ablest physicians and surgeons in toronto were there they took x rays made blood tests and sec tions and found that jim bad a tubercular spine they took him upstairs and put him to bed while bis father and mother stayed around for a few days and then went back up ncrth privately the doctors thought that jim had scarcely a chancolo get bet ter but they worked over him un oeastngly turned loose all the roaglc of modem medicine for four long years while the little boy ticked off bis birthdays well it worked jim did get bat ter and be walked out of the hos pital with a strong back set on two sturdy legs be s up home again in the bush country of northern on tarlo parents drdnt pay cent and because today s hospitals are organised in an especially marvellous way jim s parents dldn t pay a single cent for the four years of ex pert care and treatment his muni cjpality paid the hospital for sick children the public ward rate of 173 a day for every day the sick youngster was laid up and the on tarlo go paid the statutory rate of soc but if cost the hospital at least 100 a day more than the 2j5 the hospital for sick chll dren invested 1 40000 of its own money in jim a recovery they do things like that every day in the week the doctors who looked after jim for four years donated their services as they are continually doing for helpless young stars who come to them with bad tonsils poor eyes weak chests hereditary diseases and a hundred ether ailments broken bone come in for setting babies who arent feeding properly and older children whose teeth havent been attended to slnde they wan born are looked after the biggest men on the hospitals staff mi their daily clinic in the c diagnose troubles and give cats operations and care to those who are already in hospital last year for instance ths highly for sick 1 of the ouktreogav tn than 40jdoo hours una pot a vara on ltsay gftjoo an bow which it too little and yon mot m nwwejs npewktaeaoenl at tal fiamatftfcvffr a aat of this back from the private patients who can afford to pay would it be news he asked that out of the 434 beds in the hos pltal for sick children 414 are in public wards we had 6 000 pauents last year and less than five per cent of these were private patients we are a public hospital and like every public hospital we are re quired by law to accept any pnticnt who comes to our doors in need of treatment we give them everything they need and its not unusual for the hospital to furnish from 300 to 400 worth of serum to a single pa tient suffering from pneumonia whatever the cost to us we get only our regular allowance of 233 a day per patient some serums are given free to the hospitals by the provincial depart merit of health the others not on the free list must be paid for its pretty obvious then that the hospital has to make up its opera t lng loss some other way this is the reason for the regular annual appeal to humane and chari table citizens for donations the out patients clinic was crowd ed ijy s 30 this morning waiting room and corridors were filled with parents and children from infanta to adolescents several hundred come here every day many from outside toronto of all the hundreds of fathers and mothers who brought in their ailing youngsters a few who could paid 50 cents there might be bills a little higher for x ray and other special work but the majority paid less and many nothing at all look closely into the heart of the hospital for sick children and youti find not only kindness and superb skill but an organization that is almost unique in the world it is a children a hospital for everyone in ontario drawing its patients from every municipality even to the farth est corners of the province 100000 visits a year there is no statutory provision for establishing an out patients de partment in any hospital said mr bower but municipalities through out the province have come to real ize the importance of our outpa tients department since a very large proportion of the patients ireate a ted there would otherwise be occupying beds in the hospital and that would result tn a much increased fin load for the municipalities so there is one reason for the size of the great daily clinic which hunts out the ills of thousands of young sters and results tn upwards of 100000 visits a year tha hospital or sick children does not share in the funds collected by tha toronto federation for com munity service because patients are admitted from ah over ontario over ujmom la needed this year to meet the- unavoidable deficit evan small gifts are not only wei- coned and appreciated but are ft

according to the regulations of the department of education compulsory in form i and optional in forms 2 3 and 4 m all secondary schools when instruction is provided locally or in another reasonably accessible schoul high school boards are expected to provide this instruction locally elsewhere the by law to raise money to build an extension to the high school for this instruction and also a nmchr needed combined assembly room and gymnasium was defeated last year be cause the ratepayers did not fully realize the great advantages of hese new courses of study nor the verv moderate annual

for rental or the auditorium when used by other organisations it is expected by the officials of the department of education that the in reduction of the new courses will in crease the attendance at the high school which will automatically in crease the government and county grants should a bylaw to provide the ex tended building be again rejected by the ratepayers it will be the duty of the high school board to send all the pupils in form i and any of those in fount xi and m who de sire the instruction in household economics and general shop work to another reasonably aooeajble high school
