rE Nae a ~~ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925 9 SET MAY 12 AS HOSPITAL DAY President Coolidge Endorses National Event Caring for 32,281 patients daily at a cost of approximately $60,000,000 an- nually, a figure comparable to the run- ning expenses of the state govern- ment, the hospitals of Illinois ought to attract wide-spread interest on May 12 which has been designated as Na- tional Hospital Day, to quote Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health direc- tor. National hospital day is an event commemorating the birth of Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern nursing services, and as such it has the endorsement of President Coolidge na- tionally and of Governor Small in Illin- ois. Hospitals throughout the nation and Canada will throw open their doors to the public on May 12. The insti- tutions of mercy in Illinois will be no exception. State Has 398 Hospitals "Public interest in the occasion ought to be immediate and general," says Dr. Rawlings. "The significance of the event in Illinois is indicated by the fact that there are 398 hospitals in the state with a total bed capacity of 52472. These hospitals care for an average of 32,281 patients daily at an estimated cost of $60,000,000 annually or about $10 per capita per year. "Out of the 398 hospitals 225 are gen- eral in character, 29 are for nervous and mental patients, 27 for tuberculo- sis cases, 32 for orphans, 20 for the aged and incurables, 18 for maternity patients, 11 for convalescents and 10 for contagious diseases. The others constitute a miscellaneous group rang- ing from army and navy patients to those among the blind and the deaf.

Cite Scarcity of Hospitals "There are 36 counties in the state that have no hospitals of any kind for the use of local people. "Federal, state or local governments operate 81 of the 398 hospitals in the state; independent associations oper- ate 125; denominational organizations 92; individual and partnership con- cerns, 89; industrial companies, 61; fraternal orders, 5. The bed capacity of the 81 governmental hospitals is 31,335 against 21,137 for 'the non- governmental group. 'With facts like these relative to the hospital service performed and the capital involved, hospital day ought to attract every general interest on May 12. It is a day when educational in- terest may mingle with messages of cheer and comfort." Kenilworth Youth Gets Place in Honor Society Paul M. Corbett, 78 Abbottsford road, Kenilworth, was one of the Junior class men at Northwestern university to be pledged to the Deru senior honor frater- nity at the school this week. Formal pledging of the men was held at midnight on Tuesday following the secret ballot taken on Monday. The prospective members, most of whom were in bed, were roused from their slumbers, called out into the cold, foggy night by a group of visitors and informed of the honor bestowed upon them. The annual banquet of the ac- tive chapter of Deru takes place May 7 when the keys of responsibility will be turned over by the present members to the incoming ones. The Society of Deru was founded about 20 years ago and its mission is to work for the bei- terment of Alma Mater.
