I Prince Edward Island 51.196 New- foundland 20.496. Hence a great deal remains to be accomplished. It should be the ambition of every doctor. every hospital and in fact. of every citizen of Canada to see to it -that the hospital in his com- munity is an accredited hospit- al." the speaker said.

The first list of approved hospitals was pub- lished in 1010 and contained 8 hospitals approved out of 602 sur- veyed. In contrast. as of Dec. 31, I054. 2,938 holllitala were . fully approved and ass provision- ally approved. s-ollowlng the foundation of the American College of surgeons in loss. it became apparent that if the college was going to improve the general caliber of surgery. performed by members and pro- spectlva fellows. this required bet- ter post-graduate training for the medical sduate. and this in turn was dependent upon good . .. .u.u;..

DR. lllAW'S ADDRESS

The guest speaker for the oc- casion wns Dr. L. W. Shaw. Dep- uty Ministcr and Director of Edu- cation. who look as his subject "The Hospital is People." Ha rs- minded his audience of the origin of the word hospital which came from the Latin. "Hospltiuni" which means a place to receive guests.

Dr. Shaw traced the history of hospitals which he said had their with many centuries before Christ. but Pointed out that the humanitarian aspect did not enter into their institution until the ad- vent of Christianity.

In somewhat humourous vein the speaker recalled some of the idea! People of fifty years ago had of hospitals. "It was a place of last resort to which people would go only when all other hope had been abandoned." be said. "Times have changed. whereas you 00llldI1'l set people to a hospital 50 years ago. nowadays you can't keep them out."

THIS change in concept toward hospitals. said Dr. Shaw. was due to a splendid job of public relat- ions carrled out by the doctors and nurses along with the Boards of Governors. He stressed the import- ance of such public relations re- minding his hearers that a sick person is not quite normal and it is at this time that they need sympathy and understanding. it they are to successfully recover.

"Hospitals must always consid- er themselves as an educational institution." said Dr. Shaw. "but whether a hospital is engaged in the framing of nurses or not they are educating the community as to bow and when to use it. and not wait until a hope is gone."

Dr. Shaw ded a word of caut- ion. however. when be said that although there has been tremend- ous advances in mechanical de- vices and wonder drugs. hospitals must not forget that "they are People” lest they become too ab- sorbed ln.the humming L; and other sadsets which do not deal with personalities. A hospital can become a friendly place. if all concerned with it. develops their personalities as individuals and then develop as a group, "A hog. pltal without hospitality is not a hospital." he added.
