TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT.

TIHE Committee of the Samaritan Society have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report to subscribers and friends. The beneficent work of the Society goes steadily forward. For twenty-three years, needful bread-winners in the Royal Infirmary have received benefits from it for themselves, and for their families and dependents. For shorter periods needful patients in the City Fever Hospital and in Chalmers’ Hospital have shared in these benefits. While the bread-winners are in these institutions those dependent upon them are helped by money or otherwise; and on their leaving they themselves receive aid in various ways. Some have their fares paid to take them to their homes or to friends, Very many have clothes given them, and generally they receive a donation to help them till they are quite able to work again, or till some work is found. The Committee endeavour to find work for them, and also to get further help for them and for their families, when that is necessary, from Parochial Boards or charitable societies, or other quarters. The Committee acknowledge with thanks their special obligation in this way to the Destitute Sick Society, the Strangers’ Friend Society, the Night Asylum, the St Andrew’s Ambulance Association, Longmore Hospital, Dunlop Cancer Fund, and to the different Convalescent Homes. Several patients have been sent to Consumptive Hospitals, and also to the Devonshire Hospital in Buxton, some subscribers’ admission tickets 7 to which have been received, and have been highly prized. Thanks are also due to railway companies and to their servants for kind consideration and help to patients going to their destinations, and requiiing more than usual care. In its general features the work of the Society has no great variety, but almost every case has a special interest of its own, and it is very gratifying to be able to state that the patients are very thankful for the help they receive; and, indeed, some of the letters received are exceedingly affect- ing. As has been done in former Reports, cases are given along with this Report shewing the different ways in which the Society distributes its benefits.

The Committee are very grateful for the amount of money placed at their disposal. They can assure sub- scribers that every care is taken by the Almoner and by the Members of Committee in distributing funds. They also thank very heartily the ladies who do not grudge time and trouble in gathering subscriptions. This year they have the pleasing duty of recording their thanks to two warm friends of the Society for the very handsome donation of ;£ioo. They have also to acknowledge a legacy of ^50, bequeathed to the Society by the late Miss Margaret Tawse. They have still also a small Reserve Fund, though it is becoming smaller every year. They are thus enabled this year, as in some former years, to meet the deficiency which has again arisen on the ordinary account. But it would be much more satisfactory if the ordinary expenditure could be met from year to year by the ordinary income. Indeed, though the ordinary income were considerably larger than it is, the Committee could make use of it without feeling that they were giving a penny too much.

The Committee desire to record their thanks to the 8

Rev. Robert S. Simpson, of the High U.F. Church, for kindly preaching the annual sermon on behalf of the Society on the 24th of March. The collection amounted to ,£16, 2S. 6d. They have also to thank ministers of different denomina- tions, missionaries, and others for giving them information as to the character and circumstances of persons they have enquired about, and for helping them to distribute the benefits of the Society to the best advantage. The number of patients who have received assistance, either directly or through their families from the Society during the past year was 329. The Almoner paid 1036 visits to the families of patients in Edinburgh, and 70 patients received allowances for themselves or their families in the country, by their ministers or other friends. 60 patients had their fares paid to take them to their homes.

The late Councillor Pollard was a good friend of the Society, and the following is the Minute of Committee in regard to his death—“The Chairman said they should not allow the intimation of the death of Judge Pollard to pass without expressing their sense of the great interest the late Councillor had taken in the work of the Samaritan Society, and the important services he had rendered it. As Convener of the Committee of Public Health, Mr Pollard had frequently spoken warmly of the interest shown, and help given, to the families of patients in the Fever Hospital, and on behalf of the Committee he had repeatedly given donations to the Society in acknowledgement of that help. He had also taken part in the proceedings at their public meetings, and, indeed, at their last Annual Meeting he had seconded the adopting of the Report. The Chairman concluded by moving that they place on record this expression of their feelings, and also their sincere sympathy with the widow and family in this great bereavement, and that they request the Secretary to send this Excerpt of their Minutes to Mrs Pollard, which was unanimously agreed to.”

The providing of clothing for patients is a very important part of the Society’s work. A large sum has been expended during the year on material for clothing. Four thousand seven hundred and forty-six articles have been given away to about one thousand patients. The Com- mittee beg to thank the friends who have helped in this work, especially the Ladies’ Association, and the various work parties throughout the city who have sent generous gifts of made-up clothing to the Society. They also thank the many ladies who individually make up material supplied to them by the Society. There is at present great need of a supply of clothing, old and new, for men, women, and children, especially men’s clothing, and little garments for children. It is not generally known that in the wards of the Infirmary many of the patients are children, some from very poor homes, and greatly in need of clothing. It must be remembered that the clothes of patients have often to be destroyed, and others need to be supplied. It is also very important that patients should be warmly clothed when they are discharged from any of the hospitals. 10

NOTES OF CASES FROM ALMONER'S BOOK With an Account of what was done for them.

I.—Assistance in Money or Food. W. M‘I , Shepherd, came to the Infirmary suffering from internal cancer. His wife and eight children were living at the head of Glenquaich, the two eldest in farm service and earning a small wage ; the youngest about a year old. The quarter’s wages earned by MT would not be paid for three months, and his somewhat expensive journey to Edinburgh had left the family straitened in means. 3/6 a week for three months w as sent for them to the care of their minister, and on MT ’s death a donation of £1 was granted for the widow, who wrote her heartfelt thanks to the Society. Mrs C——, a young woman suffering from Bright’s disease, was under treatment in the Infirmary for some weeks. Her husband had deserted her a year before, and she had overtaxed her strength in working as a charwoman to maintain her children, twins of 2 years old, and a baby of 8 months. 3/- weekly was allowed her for 3 weeks to supplement Parish relief. M. L , Slipper-maker, a Jew, came to the Infirmary with pleurisy, and was far advanced in consumption. His wife and 5 children (ages 10, 5, 4, 2, 1) were destitute, and the baby was very ill. His wife’s old mother and her sister lived with them and worked at slipper finishing. They were very respectable people Rent £T0. An allowance of 4/- a week was given them for 9 weeks, and a donation of £1 when L went home, to buy material for his work as he had no money. Longmore Hospital. D. R , Fireman—wages 22/-. Had not worked for 6 weeks, and had been 3 weeks in the Infirmary with malignant tumour in the throat, for which he had an operation. He was a widower with 4 children. His eldest daughter of 18 had come home from service to keep house for her father, and 2 brothers were at school. The family had been wholly dependent on the kindness of their fellow-villagers since the father’s removal to Hospital. 4/- weekly was allowed them for 16 weeks. D. B was admitted to the Longmore Hospital. His daughter takes in washing to maintain her brothers, from whom she will not part. In a few years one of the boys should be a great help. This girl writes to the Superintendent of the Samaritan Society— “ I write to thank you for the money you gave to us through the kindness of Mrs S , to whose care you sent it, and I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart, for it was a great help to us in the time of need.” 11

J. F , an old Soldier of excellent character—homeless and destitute. He was in the Infirmary for a long time with paralysis, and, on the application of the Samaritan Society, he was admitted to the Long- more Hospital. II.—Fares. Mrs S , a Widow, highly-respected in her home in the country, came to the Infirmary with rheumatism and weak spine. She had com- pletely lost the power of her legs, but could use her hands to wheel herself about in a chair. She had one daughter of weak intellect, who was able under her mother’s directions to serve in a little shop, which was their only means of support. The Samaritan Society gave Mrs S , when she was discharged from the Infirmary, a wheeling chair, and paid her fare home ; also the return fare of the nurse who took charge of her. J. M‘S , Labourer—wages 111 a week. In the Infirmary with sciatica, and had been laid up at home for a fortnight previously. Wife and 5 children unable to work. They were Roman Catholics, and were well known to their priest. 3/6 a week for 13 weeks was sent to the care of their priest, and 5/- paid for fare to send M‘S home. W. M , a Tramcar Conductor in Edinburgh—wages 22 -. In the Infirmary suffering from rheumatism A subscriber’s line for admission to the Devonshire Hospital, Buxton, was got for him, and his return fare was also paid. He was the only support of his old mother. At first he had 10/- a week from a society, which was re- duced to 5/-, and finally stopped. 2 6 a week for 8 weeks was allowed by the Samaritan Society for M——’s mother. He improved very much under the treatment at Buxton. J. L , a young woman dying of consumption. She was in the Infirmary for a considerable length of time, and- as her father, a fisherman in Shetland, was unable to send money to take her home, the Samaritan Society paid her fare, and made every arrangement for her comfort on the voyage. M. R——, a Patient in the Infirmary, had a course of electrical baths in Ainslie Place, which she was enabled to get partly by the help of the Samaritan Society. The good which resulted was very considerable, and there is no reason to doubt the permanency of the improvement. The Samaritan Society paid 30/- for cab fares to bring her back from the baths, and gave her 3/- a week for 8 weeks. III.—Chalmers’ Hospital. S. M , a Dressmaker, had come to Edinburgh from Canada, and had fallen into great poverty. She was suffering in health from anxiety and want, and was admitted into Chalmers’ Hospital. The Samaritan Society provided her with a complete outfit of clothes, and by the interest of one of the ladies of the Committee, she was after a time received into the House of Refuge, where she remained for 6 months. She has since been able to start a little business for herself, and is most grateful to those who befriended her. 12

Object of the Society. It shall be the object of this Society to assist the families and dependents of patients being bread-winners, to give clothing, travelling expenses, or other needful help to patients on leaving the Infirmary, to endeavour to procure work for them, and generally to befriend and be of use to them as far as possible. Patients in the Edinburgh City Fever Hospital, and in Chalmers Hospital, shall also be entitled to the benefits of the Society.

TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT.

In bringing before the public their Twenty-Fourth Annual Report, the Committee would again urge the Society’s claims and lay stress on its usefulness. The first object of the Society is to alleviate, by assistance in money or food, the cases of need which so often arise when the person on whom a family depends for support is compelled to seek refuge in the Infirmary or in a hospital. Among the vast number of men and women in the wards of our hospitals there are many of the poorest classes, and many also who by long illness have been reduced to poverty. It is a severe aggravation of a patient’s sufferings when he has to brood over the privations which wife and children endure in his absence. A small regular allowance from the Samaritan Society for those at home lifts a load of care from the sick man and assists his recovery. Even when provision has been made for a time of sickness (which is too rare among working people) the allowances from a Sick Fund or Provident Society are reduced after a few weeks and there is need for further help to keep the family from sinking into poverty. The Samaritan Society in the past year made payments to the families of 267 patients. Every case is carefully inquired into. The Society’s Almoner visits the homes of the patients (1314 visits were paid during the past year), and the Committee meets every 6

week to consider the reports and to decide on the best way of befriending the family. When the patient comes from a distance enquiries are also made and the allowance is sent to the parish minister, the priest, or some friend who is interested. A glance at some of the cases from the Almoner’s note- book, which are quoted at the end of this report, will best illustrate the variety of cases which come before the Committee, and the ways in which the Society meets the wants of each. Letters from ministers, missionaries, employers and others testify to the good work which the Society is doing, while the gratitude of patients is often touchingly expressed.

A further object of the Society is to pay the fares for sending patients to their homes, to Convalescent Homes, or to places where they are likely to obtain work. ^£19, is. id. has been expended during the year for this purpose. Patients come to the Infirmary from the North of England and from various parts of Scotland who tramp all the way to Edinburgh, but after a long illness, or it may be after an operation, are unable to return to their homes on foot. There are also patients whose friends, at much sacrifice, have collected the sum needed to send them to Edinburgh by train or steamer, but who are too poor to pay the return fare. By no means the least important part of the Society’s work is to give clothing to needy patients. Not seldom it happens that a patient’s wearing apparel has to be destroyed. Still oftener the Society meets with cases in which a patient is about to leave the hospital with clothing which is not adequate for a person recovering from illness. Warm clothing is in many cases essential for successful 7 convalescence. In the past year 5,368 articles were in this way disposed of. The Staff-nurses of the Infirmary come every Wednesday morning to the Samaritan Society’s room to get the clothes that are needed in their ward, and the disappointment is sharp if the lady in charge is unable to meet the demands. It is not generally realised that there are children in the wards of the Infirmary, some of them from very poor homes and much in need of clothing. Garments, new and -old, boots and shoes are much needed at present for men, women and children, more especially for men atid children. Parcels should be sent to Miss Hansen, Samaritan Society’s Room, Royal Infirmary, or on receipt of a post card, they will be called for. The Committee express their thanks to friends who have helped them in the Clothing Department, especially to the Ladies’ Association, to the various work-parties, and to the individual ladies who have made up material supplied to them by the Society. Miss Hansen will be glad to send garments, cut and ready to make up, to ladies who will undertake the work. ^44, os. 3d. has been expended by the Society during the year on material for clothing. The Committee has now indicated the scope and nature of the Society’s operations, and it remains to review the position of the finances. The year’s work has been ■conducted on the very small income of ^387, 17s. pd. This sum shows a slight improvement on the figures of last year, and the Committee is very thankful for the money placed at its disposal, but the amount has not proved sufficient for carrying out the objects of the Society. The utmost care and economy are exercised in distributing the funds, but for the past five years there has been an annual 8

deficiency. The small Reserve Fund, which at the com- mencement of 1898 amounted to about ^330, has been drawn upon—this year to the extent of ^90, the year before of ^54, and the year before that of ^97. If things continue as they are the Reserve Fund will cease to exist at the end of next year. This regularly recurring deficiency is due to an increase in expenditure. The item “ Payments in Money and Food” is alone ^84 larger than in 1897. The Committee can assure the Society that of extravagance there has been none. On the contrary, the relief has been restricted to the barest necessaries, as the extracts from the Almoner’s note-book will show. The position which confronts the Society is simply this : Either to increase the Annual Subscriptions by about ^100, or else to instruct the Committee to reduce its expenditure. The Committee earnestly hope that the latter alternative will not have to be resorted to. A severe loss has been sustained during the year in the death of the Hon. Mrs Montgomery, who since the foundation of the Society has been the Convener of the Committee, and of Mr John M. M'Candlish, one of the Vice-Presidents. The Committee has recorded its sorrow in its minutes; on this public occasion it desires only to- express a tribute to the unflagging interest which the departed took in the Society’s welfare and to the value of the services they rendered. The Committee desire to record their thanks to the Rev. H. A. Thomas, M.A., who preached the annual sermon in St Peter’s Church. The collection amounted to- 38/6. A donation of ^10 has been received from the Committee of Public Health as an acknowledgment of the help given by the Society to the families of patients in the Fever Hospital. 9 The Committee acknowledge as in former years the hearty co-operation of all with whom, in an official capacity, they have been brought in contact—the Managers, Super- intendents, and the Medical Staff and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary. The applications from the Samaritan Society’s Committee have always received attention from heads of Institutions, Charities, &c. They also desire to express their appreciation of the kindness of friends who have given Subscribers’ recommendations for hospitals and orders on the Cheap Coal Society. Subscribers’ lines to the Devonshire Hospital, Buxton, and to the Hospital at Harrogate, are of the greatest use to rheumatic patients, several of whom have had their fares paid by the Samaritan Society.

NOTES OF CASES FROM ALMONER’S BOOK With an Account of what was done for them.

I.—Assistance in Money or Food. Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. John A , Apprentice Printer, age 19—wages 12/'- a week—had been in the Infirmary for a month with Rheumatic Fever, when his case was brought before the Samaritan Society. His old mother, a widow, was almost entirely dependent on him, and when his wages stopped, she had only 3/8 a week from a Yearly Society to which he belonged. John was greatly distressed that he could not work for her, and the allowance of 3/- a week for 8 weeks for her from the Samaritan Society was a great relief to his anxiety. A donation of £1 was granted when he went home. G. R , died suddenly in the Infirmary of Cancer, leaving a widow and a family of 18 children—8 by a first marriage and 10 by the second. He was a Farm Servant—wages 18/- a week, with free house, potatoes, and meal. The ages of the children at home were 18, 15, 13, 11, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1. After their father’s death they were allowed to stay on in the house as the two eldest girls were working on the farm, earning 14/- between them. The mother received help from a Burial Society, but after funeral expenses, &c., were paid, she had little over. A donation of £2, 6s. was granted her by the Samaritan Society, and clothes were provided for the younger children. IO

Mrs C , Charwoman, came from the country and had a Tumour removed in the Infirmary. Her husband was alive, but was in consumption, and quite unable to work. Mrs C—— maintained him and her 4 children. She cleaned a church, for which she got £6 a year, which paid the rent. She earned besides about 8/- a week, but while she was in the Infirmary there was nothing coming in, and the family was badly off. 3/6 a week for 12 weeks was allowed, and a donation when Mrs C went home to supplement the help which their church gave them. A lady in the place where Mrs C lived was asked by the Samaritan Society to befriend this poor family, and showed them much kindness. M. M , a Servant, who had been obliged to leave her situation to keep house for her old mother, who was bed-ridden. M went out charing and nursing. For 3 months she did her work during the day and sat up with a sick woman at night. Sometimes she could make as much as 15/- a week, but her health broke down, and for 2 months she was unable to work. She was admitted to the Infirmary with Anaemia, and was then sent to a Home at Dunoon. Her mother had 5/- a week from the Parish, but her daughter paid 10/- a week for her board, while she herself was in Hospital. 2/6 a week for 3 weeks was allowed for M——; and when she returned home, permanent work was procured for her as a cleaner in the University.

He was at one time in a Railway Society, but on account of illness had not been able to keep up payment. All they had was a little they had saved. They were superior people with a comfortable home; rent £15, 9s. They were allowed 4/- a week for 20 weeks, and on the death of J. C , a donation was given to his widow to help her to remove to Gateshead-on-Tyne, where she had friends. She was most grateful for the timely help. J. G , an Italian, a well known street Harpist, sometimes earned as much as 18/- a week. He was in the Infirmary for many weeks with Cancer, and at length went home to die. He had 5/- a week from the Parish, and his son, a lad of 19, earned 10/- weekly as an apprentice cabinetmaker. There was a younger boy at school, and Mrs G- kept the house beautifully clean and tidy, and attended her husband with great devotion. They were respectable, well doing people, and most grateful for the kindness shown them by the Samaritan Society. 5/- a week was allowed them for 6 weeks. II.—Fares. A.

H , a Servant, came to the Infirmary with Heart Disease. She will never be able to work again. Her mother was a widow, and there were 7 at home ; 2 girls worked in a factory ; four boys were all doing a little work, and there was one boy at school.

He was a remarkably interesting patient. Chalmers' Hospital. \V. D , a Labourer in a Brewery—wages £1 a week—had been off work for 7 weeks with a poisoned hand.

They had had a comfortable home (the rent of the house £13, 10s.) and were rather superior people, but he was in no society and had no source of income but his wages. Mrs W obtained employment in an hotel for 6 weeks, when that was done, she had no means of subsistence. 4/- a week was allowed them for 7 weeks, and when W—— died a donation was granted to help the family to remove to Glasgow, where Mrs W found work. She was very grateful for the timely help given her, and wrote her thanks— “ I do not know,” she said “ what I could have done without the 4/- a week during my husband’s illness.” J. F , a Mason, in Hospital with Scarlet Fever and Bronchitis. He had been out of work for 5 weeks before he was taken ill, and his wife and 1 child( an infant (who had infant paralysis) were in great poverty. Mrs F could have maintained herself and child as she had been a laundress, but she could not take washing as she had broken her leg some months before, and could not stand on it for any length of time. She was pawning her clothes and furniture for food. She received 3/- a week for 11 weeks from the Samaritan Society, and 5/- a week for 4 weeks after her husband went home. J.

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT.

In presenting their Report on the work done by the Samaritan Society during the past year, the Committee are able to record much useful activity; indeed, they believe that the Society’s labours are indispensable. The charitable object of caring for the sick is only partially attained by the actual cure in hospital. To complete the good work it is necessary—if the patients are poor—to secure their dependents from destitution, and often to perform certain small services when they are discharged from the hospitals. In the three great hospitals with which this Society is specially connected, the Samaritan Society is the only means of providing this kind of help.

(i.) The first object of the Society is to give relief to families which are deserving, but destitute owing to the breadwinner being in hospital. Such assistance is trebly beneficial. It is a blessing to children and dependents who are temporarily reduced to want; it frees the patient himself from mental suffering; moreover, by relieving him from immediate anxiety, it removes a serious obstacle to his recovery. Both doctors and nurses pay earnest tribute to the value of this work, as the following statements will shew :— “ I am sure that every one of my colleagues on the Staff of the Royal Infirmary will bear me out when 1 say that .... no one who has been closely connected with the active work of the Infirmary for 6

many years can possibly have failed to appreciate the inestimable value of the work which is done by the Society.”—[Extract from letter by MrCotterill, Surgeon to the Royal Infirmary.] “Our Nurses tell me that they do not knowhow they could get on without the Samaritan Society. . . We cannot speak too gratefully in appreciation of your excellent work without which ours must to some extent suffer.”—[Extract from letter by Miss Spencer, Lady Superintendent of Nurses, Royal Infirmary.]

To illustrate the variety of cases which come before the Committee an account of selected cases from the Almoner’s note-book is appended to the Report. The total of new cases assisted during the year was 265. In dealing with each individual instance the most scrupulous care is exercised. The Almoner visits the homes of the patients and reports to the Society’s Committee, separately on each application. The Committee meets every week, to decide on the best means of befriending the family. If the patient comes from a distance inquiries are also made from the parish minister or other person likely to be able to give information as to the character of the applicant. When a case has been accepted by the Society the assistance in money or food is distributed to the family in weekly allowances either personally by the Almoner, or by a clergyman, priest, or friend who is interested in the paiient. The visits paid in the past year by the Almoner alone were 1263. After the lapse of four weeks the case comes again before the Committee and is re-considered, before the allowance is renewed. No precaution which long experience has suggested is omitted in guarding against expenditure on unworthy applicants. 7 (2.) The next principal object of the Society is to pay the fares, &c., for sending patients to their homes, or to Convalescent Homes. Patients sometimes come to be treated in Edinburgh from remote parts of Scotland or from the North of England and find themselves unable to return—either from poverty or from physical inability to undergo the fatigue of tramping. A letter from one of the House Surgeons in the Royal Infirmary may be quoted as a typical instance :— “ I wish to recommend a patient whose name is * * * to your charity. He has had an ununited fracture of the humerus and, as the result of walking here from Carlisle, has developed slight dropsy from over taxing his heart. He wishes to go back there now. I have forbidden him to walk, and therefore hope you will be able to pay his train.” In the course of the year 69 train, steamer, &c., fares were paid by the Society. (3.) A modest, but highly important part of the Society's work is to give Clothing to needy patients. How useful assistance of this kind may prove will be gathered from the following extract from a letter from Col. Warburton, Superintendent of the Royal Infirmary:— “ Many (patients) are so insufficiently and badly clothed that if discharged in the same condition they must not only suffer from exposure but, owing to their appearance, find it next to impossible to obtain employment.” Every Wednesday morning the Staff Nurses of the Infirmary come to the Samaritan Society’s Room to get the clothes needed in their ward, and it is always distressing if it 8 proves impossible to meet the demands. The ladies in charge of this department would be most glad to receive a larger supply of clothing. Garments, new and old, boots and shoes are much needed, more especially for men and for children. 5315 articles were disposed of in the course of the year. Parcels should be sent to Miss Hansen, Samaritan Society’s Room, Royal Infirmary, or on receipt of a post card, they will be called for.

The Committee express their thanks to friends who have helped them in the Clothing Department, especially to the Ladies’ Association, to the various work-parties, and to the individual ladies who have made up material supplied to them by the Society. Miss Hansen will be glad to send garments, cut and ready to make up, to ladies who will undertake the work. ^'39, 3s. yd. has been expended by the Society during the year on material for clothing. A donation of has been received from funds administered by the Committee of Public Health, as an acknowledgment of the help given to the families of patients in the City Hospital. The annual sermon was- preached in Morningside Parish Church by the Rev, R. H. Fisher, B.D., and an offertory of ^7, 4s. yd., was handed to the Society. One-half of the proceeds of the collection on Christmas Day in St George’s Parish Church, amounting to ^9, 8s. id., was also received as a donation. Further, the Society was presented with ^15 from the funds of the Edinburgh Southern Light Opera Company. For all these sums the Committee are very grateful. The most welcome sum of ^171, 12s. gd., was presented to the Society, as the nett proceeds of an amateur dramatic performance given in the Lyceum Theatre on the 4th of March. The Committee desire to record their sincere 9 thanks to Miss Clouston and those associated with her for the great trouble they took, and for the extremely successful result of their efforts. This large accession to its funds has relieved the Society from immediate embarrassment; but, in presenting this Report to the public, it cannot be concealed that the new income has been of an exceptional nature, while annual subscriptions still fall short of the sum requisite for carrying on the Society’s work. The Society finally acknowledges its continued indebted- ness for the hearty co-operation of the Managers, Superintendents, Medical Staff and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, and for the kindness of friends who have furnished subscribers’ recommendations for hospitals and orders for the Cheap Coal Society. Subscribers’ lines to the Devonshire Hospital, Buxton, and to the Hospital at Harrogate, are of the greatest use to rheumatic patients, several of whom have had their fares paid by the Samaritan Society.

TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT.

The Committee presents its Report for the past year. It will be seen that the salient feature is the large increase in the number of cases which have urgently required assistance. On the other hand a reference to the Accounts shews that this access of new work has been unaccompanied by a corre- sponding increase of revenue. A deficiency has thus resulted on the year’s operations, for which it has been necessary to encroach on the Reserve Fund. This fund now amounts to only £243, and it is therefore plain that the Society must face the necessity of reconsidering its financial basis.

Your Committee has earnestly debated this matter, and sees plainly that in coming years it will be necessary either to curtail expenditure, or to obtain new subscribers. In view of the acknowledged use- fulness of the Society, your Committee sincerely hope that the alternative of restricting the work of relief will be put aside as impracticable. 6

(i.) The first object of the Society is to give relief to families which are deserving, but destitute owing to the breadwinner being in hospital.

It is hardly necessary to dwell on the good which a Society like this is able to do in such cases. The patient’s family is relieved from want, and the sick person is given a better chance of recovery by being freed from anxiety for his dependents. But at the present day, when we hear so much of the dangers of indiscriminate charity, it is necessary to point out with the utmost clearness, that the most systematic care is exercised by the Committee in bestowing the Society’s funds. Applications for relief do not for the most part come from the patients themselves, but from the nurses, from visitors in the wards, or from other people known to the Society. When an application is received, the Society’s Almoner, who has had long experience in her work, visits the home and makes a report. At the same time the Superintendent applies for information regarding the character of the family to the clergyman, or to anyone to whom the patient is able to give a reference. These reports are considered separately at the Committee’s weekly meetings. When a case is accepted the allowance in money or food is distributed once a week, either personally by the Almoner, or by some one interested in the. family. Every four weeks the case comes again before the Committee before it is renewed. Donations are also paid by weekly instalments. 7 The new cases relieved in the past year have numbered 312. The visits to patient’s homes, which have been paid by the Almoner alone, have numbered 1385.

(2 ) The next object of the Society is to pay the fares, etc., for sending patients to their homes, or to Convalescent Homes.

Patients sometimes come long distances to be treated in Edinburgh, and by expending of the comparatively small sum of £15, 2s. 2d., the Society has assisted the return of many poor people whose slender means were exhausted and insufficient for taking them back.

(3.) A modest but most important part of the Society’s work is to give clothing to needy patients.

Every Wednesday morning the Staff Nurses of the Infirmary come to the Samaritan Society’s Room to get the clothes needed in their ward. Garments, new and old, boots and shoes are much needed, more especially for men and for children. 5 5 58 articles were disposed of in the course of the year. Parcels should be sent to Miss Hansen, Samaritan Society’s Room, Royal Infirmary, or on receipt of a post card they will be called for.

The Committee expresses its thanks to friends who have helped in the Clothing Department, especially to the Ladies’ Association, to the various work- parties, and to the individual ladies who have made 8

up material supplied them by the Society. Miss Hansen will be glad to send garments, cut and ready to make up, to ladies who will undertake the work. ^36, 17s. 6d. has been expended during the year on material for clothing.

The Annual Sermon was preached in the Grange Parish Church by the Rev. Lewis Davidson, of May- field U.F. Church. The offertory of ^11, 2s. 6d. was handed to the Society. A donation of ^10 was received from a fund administered by the Town Council’s Committee of Public Health, as an acknow- ledgment of help given to families of patients in the City Hospitals. Other donations will be found detailed in the Accounts. For all these sums the Committee is very grateful.

The Committee finally acknowledges its continued indebtedness for the hearty co-operation of the Managers, Superintendents, Medical Staff, and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, and for the kind- ness of friends who have furnished subscribers’ recommendations to hospitals, and orders of the Cheap Coal Society. 9

NOTES OF CASES FROM ALMONER’S BOOK With an Account of what was done for them.

I.—Assistance in Money or Food. Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. K. F , a Joiner. Had not worked for a month. He came to the Infirmary and had one of his legs amputated—the other leg had been amputated 8 years before—in consequence of an accident. He had a wife and a grandson of 19, wdio was out of work. The Samaritan Society, having received a satisfactory account of the family from their Minister, granted them a donation of £1, and gave the loan of a Wheeling Chair for R. F , paying the carriage to Newton Stewart, where his home was. J. W , a Fitter—wages 30/-. Had been off work for 6 weeks with rheumatism. His family had been living on his savings during his illness, paying a rent of 7/6 a fortnight. He had a wife and four children—7, 5 and 3 years old, and a baby of 2 months. His Parish had paid his fare to send him to the Edinburgh Infirmary (the first parochial relief he had ever received). The Samaritan Society gave an allowance of 3/6, for 12 weeks, for his family, which was kindly paid to them in weekly instalments by their Doctor in the country.

Mrs F , a Dressmaker—came to the Infirmary suffering from influenza. She had a son of 16, an apprentice brassfinisher, earning 4/- a week. He paid 4d a night for lodgings, without food. He was admitted into the Boys' Industrial Brigade Home on the application of the Samaritan Society. Mrs F—— had her fare paid when she left the Infirmary to send her to a neighbouring village, where she had got a situation.

A. M , a Seaman—wages 30/-. Off work for several months with jaundice. He had a wife ami 2 children, 21 and 1 year old. They were in no Society. Rent £7. The wife’s friends helped as far as they could, also their Minister from Church funds, but they were reluctant to ask for Parish relief. An excellent account was received of them from their Minister, and 3/- a week was allowed for 8 weeks. M returned home no better, and a donation of £1 was given ; also an application was made to the Dunlop Cancer Fund for him, but he died about 10 days later of malignant disease. The Minister wrote afterwards, saying how grateful M had been for the kind- ness he received while in Edinburgh and since going home. He said these were almost his last words. IO

R. W , a Window Cleaner, on his own account; average earnings £1 a week. He fell while cleaning a window and broke both legs, and afterwards one of his feet was amputated. He had a wife who washed towels for a shop, earning 3/6 a week. They lived in a furnished room, for which they paid 4/6 a week. The Samaritan Society granted 3/- a week for id) weeks.

J. J , a Miner—wages 25/ a week. He had been off work for 7 months. He came to the Infirmary where he was operated on for malignant disease. Had a wife and 3 children—6, 4, and 1 year.

He got a little help from his father-in-law, and his wife earned a little by washing for the miners, when she could. Rent 3/7 a month. A very satisfactory account of the family was obtained from their Minister, and the Samaritan Society granted 3/- a week for 4 weeks. J. J then went home, and a donation of 15/- was given, application also being made for him to be put on the Dunlop Cancer Fund. Fortunately, this was successful, and later, letters of grateful thanks were received from the Minister and from J. J himself, who said the money was a “ Godsend.”

W. M , a Butcher—wages 34/- a week. Off work for 7 weeks. Came to the Infirmary and died there from pernicious anaemia, leaving a widow and 3 children—12, 3, IJs. Rent £13, 6s.

A. F , an Oilworker—wages 27/- a week. He came to the Infirmary with phlebitis. Had been off work for a month, during which time his savings had become exhausted.

TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

The Committee has much pleasure in presenting an exceedingly favourable Annual Report. As Members know, considerable anxiety has been felt of late regarding the financial position of the Society. Since its foundation twenty-seven years ago the Society has relieved cases in numbers which have increased from 150 to 312, and though annual subscriptions have also increased, they have not kept pace with expenditure. A continuous series of deficits arose which latterly could not be estimated at less than ^75 to .£80 per annum, and the always slender Reserve Fund was consequently reduced to a dangerously low amount. Last year, therefore, extraordinary efforts were made to bring about an improvement, and thanks partly to the exertions of collectors, partly to a most munificent contribution from an outside source, the probable income has been brought up to a sum which next year will nearly cover expenditure. The thanks of the Society are due in the first place to the collectors for the increase in annual subscriptions which amounts to about ^40, a sum representing net gain, undiminished by any com- mission paid to hired employees. Everyone who has undertaken similar work knows how extremely hard it is to find people who are prepared to become new subscribers to a Charity. They will recognise that this £40 represents hard-earned money, and they will appreciate at their true value the services which have secured it. 6

Even more gratifying is the contribution received from a Sale of Work organised on behalf of the Society by the Lady Superintendent of Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, assisted by the Staff of Nurses. This sale, and a supplementary sale, resulted in the Society being presented with ^1000, apart from what may yet be obtained from some unsold articles still in hand. * At special request of the donors the money will be treated as Capital, and invested. Considered merely financially this donation is eminently satisfactory, for although no income accrues from it in the present year, it may be expected that in future the deficiencies in the accounts, if there are any, will only be small. But the Committee regards the matter in a wider light The larger part of the Society’s work is done for patients of the Royal Infirmary, and if that work is as useful as the Committee believes it to be, no one can know this better than the Nurses. That they should have come forward of their own accord, without any solicitation on the part of the Committee, and not only under- taken this Sale of Work, but devoted to it all the energy and enthusiasm which were necessary to make it such a splendid success, this proves the value they place on the Samaritan Society. Recognition from such a quarter is recognition indeed. Nor was the interest in the sale confined to the present members of the Staff. Nurses who had long left the Infirmary, and were scattered over the globe, readily lent their assistance when they heard that an appeal to support the Samaritan Society was being made, so that from every part of the world contributions have been collected. The Committee hopes that this magni- ficent testimonial in support of our Institution will appeal to the public, and induce it still further to increase the support extended to the Society. * The final sale is to be held at the Infirmary on 8th November. 7

Lack of space forbids that all the other kind donations received in the course of the year, parti- cularly the contribution from the Tragic Comedians’ Dramatic Club, should be specially referred to in this Report. They will be found detailed in the Accounts, and the Society tenders its sincere thanks for such timely contributions. Marked as has been the improvement in the financial position, the efforts of every friend of the Samaritan Society are still required to maintain what has been achieved, and to provide for the inevitable increase of future demands on our funds. The work of the year has been carried on as usual, and presents few special features. The sum expended on relief of destitute families whose breadwinners have been in hospital is slightly smaller as regards the payments in money and in food, and the number of new cases, which stands at 305, is also somewhat less. That this has not been due to any real falling off in the calls on the Society is shown by the fact that the visits paid to patient’s homes by the Almoner have risen from 1385 to 1519. It will be seen from the Accounts that the sum spent on providing material for clothing is larger this year, while the number of articles given to patients on leaving the Infirmary stands at 5808, as compared with 5558 for last year. The Committee takes this occasion of thanking the friends who have helped in the Clothing Department, especially the Ladies’ Association, the various work-parties, and the individual ladies who have made up material supplied them by the Society. It also expresses its thanks for the many parcels of old clothes received during the year. The assistance which the Society is thus enabled to give to poor patients can hardly be exaggerated. Not only are warm clothes in some cases essential for successful convalescence, but 8 patients who have gone through a long illness are often so reduced in circumstances that they cannot provide themselves with such respectable clothing as would enable them to find work. The approach of the winter has very much depleted the Society’s store of clothes, and fresh supplies are urgently needed. Parcels would be most thankfully received, and should be sent to “ Miss Hansen, Samaritan Society’s Room, Royal Infirmary,” or on receipt of a post card they will be called for. The Committee finally acknowledges its continued indebtedness for the hearty co-operation of the Managers, Superintendents, Medical Staff, and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, and for the kind- ness of friends who have furnished subscribers’ recommendations to hospitals, and orders for the Cheap Coal Society. 9

We were strangers, yet you were kind and charit- able to us with your good work. The help I have got from the Society has done much for me. I just got it when I needed it most, and it helped me over my difficulties. If ever I am able to give any little aid towards the Society I will not forget my duty.”

TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT

The Report which the Committee presents this year shews the same record of useful work in alleviating the distress caused in poor families by ill-health and accidents, and also, unfortunately, the same inadequacy of income to meet expenditure to which all recent Reports have had to draw attention.

I. The assistance given in money and food to dependents of breadwinners whom sickness has for the time deprived of the power of supporting their families, called for an expenditure of ^386, 2s. 6d. As the new cases relieved in the course of the year numbered 281, this gives approximately an average expenditure per family of £ I, 7s. 6d., and although this is somewhat larger than the sum that was given last year, it is not easy to see how it could be substantially reduced. A reference to the cases extracted from the Almoner’s Book, which are appended to this Report, shews that the Society can hardly be accused of excessive liberality. All 6

allowances have, as usual, been given weekly, and the visits paid by the Almoner in this connection numbered 1469.

II. The sum spent on material for making into clothing was £56, 1 is., which is about £13 more than last year, owing to the fact that fewer gifts of left-off clothes have been received. In this department, also, reduction is not well possible. The clothing given to needy patients on leaving the Infirmary assists their recovery and, further, by helping them to look respectable makes it easier for them to obtain work. The expenditure of a comparatively small sum, together with gifts of clothing received, enabled the Committee to distribute 5627 garments in the course of the year. The thanks of the Society are due to the friends who have helped in the Clothing Department, especially the Ladies’ Association, the various work-parties, and the ladies who have made up clothing supplied them by the Society. Parcels of old clothes will be most thankfully received, and should be sent to “Miss Hansen, Samaritan Society’s Room, Royal Infirmary,” or on receipt of a post card, directed to the same address, they will be called for. The Society’s store is very much deplenished.

III. Railway and other fares paid for patients 7 returning to their homes, &c., required an outlay of £\6, ns. The Committee believes that this sum represents well spent money.

As the result of the year’s transactions the Treasurer reports a deficiency on Ordinary Account of £89, 7s. pd., about ^45 more than the deficit of last year. This short-coming arises through increased expenditure ; for revenue has remained the same, the additional income due to interest on the Nurses Fund being counter-balanced by a falling off in Donations. Fortunately the Reserve Fund, like the widow’s cruse of oil, still holds out and supplies the annual deficit without becoming appreciably more or less, but the Committee must point out that the sums by which this small fund is periodically replenished are of the nature of wind-falls, and that the financial position of the Society is precarious until income is made to balance expenditure more approximately than it does at present.

The Annual Sermon was preached in West St Giles Parish Church, and the offertory of ^9, 10s. was handed to the Society. The handsome contribution of £20 was sent by the Southern Light Opera Company, and a donation of £10 was received from a fund administered by the Town Council’s Committee of Public Health as an acknowledgment of help given 8 to families of patients in the City Hospital. Other donations will be found detailed in the Accounts. For all these sums the Committee is very grateful.

The Committee finally acknowledges its continued indebtedness for the hearty co-operation of the Managers, Superintendent, Medical Staff, and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, and for the kind- ness of friends who have furnished subscribers’ recommendations to hospitals, and orders on the Cheap Coal Society. 9

Object of the Society. It shall be the object of this Society to assist the families and dependents of patients being bread-winners, to give clothing, travelling expenses, or other needful help to patients on leaving the Infirmary, to endeavour to procure work for them, and generally to befriend and be of use to them as far as possible. Patients in the Edinburgh City Fever Hospital, and in Chalmers Hospital, shall also be entitled to the benefits of the Society.

Constitution. The Samaritan Society shall be under the patronage of the Managers of the Infirmary, and the Membership shall consist of all those who contribute to its funds a Donation of not less than ^10, or who give an Annual Subscription of not less than ten shillings.

Rules. I. The Office-bearers of the Society shall consist of the following gentlemen, viz.:—A President, two Vice-Presi- dents, and a Secretary ; of a Treasurer, who may be either a lady or a gentleman; and of the following ladies, viz.:— A Convener, a Superintendent, and a Manager of the Clothing Department ; also of a Committee of twelve ladies (preference being given to Ward Visitors), two of 4 whom shall retire annually, and not be eligible for re-election till they have been a year out of office. All vacancies in the Management shall be filled up at the Annual Meeting of the Society, to be held on the last Tuesday of October yearly, but ad interim appointments may be made by the Committee.

II. The Committee shall meet once every week, except during the months of July, August and September—and for the present this meeting shall be fixed for Tuesday at four o’clock.

III. The sanctioned Infirmary visitors, and the Medical and Surgical Officers, shall be entitled to recommend cases for the consideration of the Weekly Meeting of Committee. The President, Vice-Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, and one selected Member of Committee, shall be entitled to afford limited relief in urgent cases at any time, but a note of these cases, with relief granted, must be laid before the first meeting of Committee for information and approval.

IV. The Secretary shall keep a record of the transactions of the Committee, and of the Society, the names of the persons relieved, the nature of the relief granted, and such other particulars as may be deemed desirable.

V. The Funds of the Society shall not be applicable towards any general treat or festival.

VI. An Auditor shall be appointed at the Annual Meet- ing, unless the Accounts have been previously audited, and the Accounts of the Treasurer shall be regularly examined by the Committee. 5

TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

The Accounts for the year which are submitted with this Report, shew a surplus on the Ordinary F'und of ^30, 3s. 1 id., and the Committee is able to increase the Special Fund, or Reserve, by this amount. Only once in the past ten years has such a thing been possible, namely in 1903, when iTo, 5s. 6d. was carried to Special Fund, and the Committee fears that the satisfactory result for this year is exceptional. The following figures shew the balances of ordinary receipts and payments during the past ten years :— Surplus Deficit 1898 Balance of Receipts and Payments, £ — ^97 7 10 1899 „ „ „ — 14 8 6 1900 „ ,, ,, — 97 10 6 1901 „ „ „ — 54 4 11 1902 ,, ,, ,, — 88 16 10 1903 10 5 6 1904 75 I8 6 1905 42 2 8 1906 89 7 9 1907 3° 3 11

An examination of the current year’s Accounts unfortunately indicates that this year’s surplus can 6

no more be expected to be permanent than that of 1903. Analysing the figures it is seen that Revenue has on the whole increased by only £5, 6s. 2d. This is accounted for by Interest on the Nurses Fund and a donation from a new source, while Subscriptions, on the other hand, have fallen by £16, os. 6d. After all the trouble taken during late years by the Committee to increase the Society’s regular Income, this result is extremely disappointing. Turning to Expenditure we find a decrease of ^101, 16s. lod. The decrease arises almost entirely on the weekly allowances to patients and their families, and is due to the exceptionally small number of applications received during the year. As the cases treated by the Society are confined to the families of deserving working men it is probable that the recent activity of trade has made want less prevalent among these classes, and led to fewer applications to the Samaritan Society. With a return to normal conditions and a slack- ening of employment it is to be expected that claims will increase and once more make the Society’s resources unequal to the demand made upon them. The Committee has had the subject of placing the finances on a stable basis under anxious con- sideration, and has decided, for the present and by way of experiment, to join the Charity Organisation 7

Society. It is to be hoped that in this way new subscribers may be obtained. As regards existing subscribers, the Committee would point out that no alteration need be made in the collection of Sub- scriptions except in the matter of time of year. Societies joining the C. O. S. undertake to collect on their own account during ten months of the year only, and to leave January and February for the Organisation. During the summer an inquiry was addressed to the Committee, through the Managers of the Royal Infirmary, as to whether the Samaritan Society would lend the services of its Almoner to assist in the administration of a bequest by the late Mr C. B. Black for behoof of Edinburgh patients who had been in the Convalescent House. After consideration the Committee proposed that applica- tions for the benefits of the Fund should be dealt with in the same manner as cases presently coming before the Society, and the Committee placed its services at the disposal of the Managers. The offer was accepted, and satisfactory conditions have been arranged. The work of the year shews no special features, except for the falling off in applications for relief in money or food. The new cases dealt with number 231, while in the three previous years the 8

figures were: during 1904—312, during 1905—305, during 1906—281. The Almoner’s visits to the homes of patients numbered 1155. The number of articles of clothing given away during the year is 5775, 148 more than last year. The thanks of the Society are due to the friends who have helped in the Clothing Department, especially the Ladies’ Association, the various work parties, and the ladies who have made up clothing supplied them by the Society. Parcels of old clothes will be most thankfully received and should be sent to “ Miss Hansen, Samaritan Society’s Room, Royal Infirmary,” or on receipt of a post card, directed to the same address, they will be called for. The Annual Sermon was preached in North Berwick Parish Church, and a sum of ^15 was collected and paid to the Society. £10 has also been received from a fund administered by the Town Council’s Committee of Public Health, and ;£io from the unappropriated subscriptions received by the Charity Organisation Society. The Committee finally acknowledges its continued indebtedness for the co-operation of the Managers, Superintendent, Medical Staff, and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, and for the kindness of friends who have furnished subscribers’ recommendations to hospitals, and orders on the Cheap Coal Society. 9

VI. An Auditor shall be appointed at the Annual Meet- ing, unless the Accounts have been previously audited, and the Accounts of the Treasurer shall be regularly examined by the Committee. 5

THIRTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

The fear expressed by the Committee that last year’s surplus on the Accounts would not prove permanent has unfortunately been realised. The year closes with a deficiency of £6$, 4s. nd., arising partly through a small falling off in receipts, amounting to .£4, 2s. 8d., but principally through expenditure having reverted to a normal figure and being £89, 6s. 2d. larger than last year. The applications for relief received by the Society had fallen last year in a marked degree. Now they have risen again, the new cases dealt with number-

ing The comparison with previous years is as follows :—

New Cases dealt with during ... 1904 ... 312 >> >> >> I9°5 ••• 3°5 ,» ,, ,, ... 1906 ... 281 >» >> ... 1907 ... 231 6

It will be remembered that last year the Com- mittee decided, in the hope of obtaining new subscribers, to join the Charity Organisation Society. The experiment has not been unsuccessful, for 50 new subscribers have joined, while the amount realised is £17, 9s. 6d. The Hon. Treasurer has prepared a Report on this subject, which shows that out of a total of 680 subscribers 175 (or 257 per cent.) availed themselves of the Charity Organisation Society ; while of the total received during the year by way of subscriptions, namely ^382, a sum of £g6 (or 25-i per cent.) is collected by the Organisation. The revenue from subscriptions as a whole is £20 less than last year. As a pleasant offset to the fruitlessness of their efforts to obtain an increased revenue from ordinary sources, which the Committee has had year after year to report, it is gratifying to announce that a substantial increase of Capital Funds will shortly take place. Intimation has been received from the Agents of the late Miss Catharine Isabella Murray, St. Margaret’s Tower, Strathearn Road, Edinburgh, that by this lady’s will the Samaritan Society receives half the residue of her estate, a sum which 7 may possibly amount to about £15,000. Some time will elapse before a distribution of funds can be made, but the new income will give a stability to the Society’s accounts which they have not hitherto possessed. Miss Murray had during many years been a subscriber, and the Committee cannot be too grateful for the act which has so completely altered the Society’s financial outlook. The new cases dealt with during the past year were, as already stated, 315, and in connection with these the Almoner has paid 1,625 visits, 470 more than last year. The articles of clothing distributed number 5009. The thanks of the Society are due to the friends who have helped in the Clothing Department, especially the Ladies’ Association, the various work parties, and the ladies who have made up material supplied’ them by the Society. Parcels of old clothes will be most thankfully received, and should be sent to “ The Samaritan Room, Royal Infirmary,” or on receipt of a post card, directed to the same address they will be called for. The Annual Sermon was preached by Dr Kelman in St. Andrews U.F. Church, and a Collection 8

amounting to £26, 7s. 8d., was handed to the Society. The usual donation of £10 was received from a fund administered by the Town Council’s Committee of Public Health, and ^10 was also received from the unappropriated subscriptions received by the Charity Organisation Society. The Committee finally acknowledges its continued indebtedness for the hearty co-operation of the 'Managers, Superintendent, Medical Staff, and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, and for the kindness of friends who have furnished subscribers’ recom- mendations to hospitals, and orders on the Cheap Coal Society. 9

THIRTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

A General Meeting of the Society was held in Dowell’s Rooms on 12th May 1909 for the purpose of adopting a new Constitution and electing Office-Bearers. It had long been felt that the somewhat informal Constitution dating from 1879 was inadequate, while the desirability of having a body of Trustees to hold the Society’s investments made a change imperative. Occasion was taken at the same time to introduce certain alterations suggested by experience, and. in particular, to take power to elect a wider body of Office-Bearers who, it is hoped, will help the Society to become more widely known and appreciated.

At this meeting public expression was given to the Society’s deep sense of sorrow and loss occasioned by the death of the Rev. Dr Gray, who was one of the founders of the Society, and, as President for thirty years, laboured most devotedly in its interests.

On the working of the year just past the Committee regret to have to report a deficiency of iji86, is. id. This arises partly from increased demands on the Society, partly from a falling off in receipts. 6

The increase which occurred last year in the applications made to the Society for relief has continued, as will be seen from the following figures:— New Cases dealt with during ... 1905 ... 305 m n if 1906 ... 281 ft ff ff ... 1907 ... 231 yt yy ff ... 1908 ... 315 yy yy ft ... 1909 ... 320

The number of visits paid by the Almoner also illustrate this point:— Visits paid during 1905 ...... 1519 ,, ,, 1906 ...... 1469 „ „ i9°7 — — 1155 ,, „ 1908 ...... 1625 ,, „ 1909 ...... 1848

The expenditure of the Society has naturally increased under these circumstances, the payments in money and food to patients and their families being ^78 more than last year, and the sum spent on clothing materials ^13 more. The individual allow- ances made by the Committee remain much as before, but the time over which they extended was longer this year owing to the number of cases of tedious illness which occurred.

The ordinary revenue has not kept pace with this increase in expenditure and has, unfortunately, not even remained constant. Subscriptions, which last year fell £20, have still further declined by £7, while Special Donations are also less than last year by The revenue from new investments has 7 not yet accrued, and consequently the deficiency already referred to has arisen.

Under ordinary circumstances this state of affairs would be very serious and would raise the question, which till lately was often before the Committee, whether the Society could continue on its present footing in the absence of adequate public support. Miss Murray’s munificent legacy has averted this possibility, but the falling off in subscriptions is viewed with great concern by the Committee The Society, it is true, will next year have revenue sufficient to maintain itself under present conditions, but the current year shews how liable demands are to increase, while if subscriptions seriously diminish, the old state of affairs will, of course, return. Besides, the Committee beg subscribers to bear in mind that for a long series of years regularly recurring deficits have compelled the Society to cut down its expenditure to the lowest possible limit. A glance at the allowances quoted in the “Notes of Cases from Almoner’s Book” should convince subscribers that the scale of expenditure is not such that the Society is in a position where it has ceased to require public support.

The articles of clothing distributed during the year number 4390. The thanks of the Society are due to the friends who have helped in the Clothing Department, to the Ladies’ Association, the various work parties, and to those who have made up material supplied by the Society. In particular 8 the Society is indebted to the lady who, during the absence of Miss Hansen, extending over virtually the whole session, joined the Committee and under- took the very exacting duties of Manager of the Clothing Department. Parcels of old clothes will be most thankfully received, and should be sent to “ The Samaritan Room, Royal Infirmary,” or on receipt of a post card, directed to the same address they will be called for. The stock of clothes is at present very low, and gifts of such articles are urgently needed.

The usual donation of ;£io was received from a fund administered by the Town Council’s Committee of Public Health, and ^10 was also received from the unappropriated subscriptions received by the Charity Organisation Society.

The Committee finally acknowledges its continued indebtedness for the hearty co-operation of the Managers, Superintendent, Medical Staff, and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary, and for the kindness of friends who have furnished subscribers’ recom- mendations to hospitals, and orders on the Cheap Coal Society. 9

He had been operated on for Varicose Veins, and afterwards he had become paralyzed, with little hope of recovery. He had a wife and 4 children—13, 10, 8, and 4 years old. The child of 10 being paralyzed and weak minded made it impossible for his mother to go out to work. They had 10/2 a week from the Gardener’s Society.

THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

The Accounts for the year shew a surplus of ^143, 12s. id., as compared with a deficit last year of ;£i8i, is. id. This result is due to the larger income which the Society now receives as the result of Miss Murray’s munificent bequest. The surplus has been carried to Capital, and is set against the long series of deficits made in past years. The total deficits between 1898 and 1909 have amounted to £768, 14s. id. The Committee has thought it well to proceed very cautiously with the more liberal scale of expen- diture which every member of the Society must be glad to find is now possible. Expenditure is not greatly altered. Payments in money and food are larger by £27, and expenditure on clothing by ^10. The particulars extracted from the Almoner’s Note Book, and appended to this Report, shew that in a few specially deserving and necessitous cases as large a weekly allowance as 7/6 has been made. In many cases 4/- and 5/- weekly has been given in circumstances under which only very much smaller allowances could have been afforded as long as the revenue of the Society was insufficient to meet all the claims made upon it. The Committee felt very keenly that small allowances were often mere doles and not truly helpful, and has gone on the principle of helping most substantially those families 6 which belong to a better class, rather than increasing the allowances of applicants who are likely to come within the scope of the Poor Law.

In numbers the new cases dealt with are very much the same as last year, the figures being as follows :— New Cases dealt with during 1905 3°S 1906 281 1907 231 1908 3i5 1909 32° 1910 3*9 The number of visits paid by the Almoner is as follows :— Visits paid during 1905 I5J9 1906 1469 1907 ”55 1908 1625 1909 1848 1910 1762

The articles of clothing given away during the year amount to 4722 articles. The Committee regrets that it has lost the assistance of one of the Assoc- iations which used to make up clothing, and it desires specially to draw the attention of those interested in the work of the Society to the needs of this department. It is impossible without undue expenditure to buy articles of the same wearing quality as many of the old clothes sent, a point which particularly applies to men’s clothing, and to boots and shoes. The Committee also wishes to emphasize the practical economy of having some really old clothes available in the store. In the cases where assistance is given in money the 7

Committee believes that the system of thorough investigation and enquiry eliminates imposters and undesirables ; but in the case of gifts of Clothing similar strictness is impossible. Patients may have had their clothes destroyed by the accident which brought them to the Infirmary, or may be otherwise so destitute that it is difficult for the lady in charge of the Clothing Department to refuse the appeal of the Ward Nurse. It is desirable to have articles available which meet the immediate necessity of these cases. Parcels of old clothes will be most thankfully received and should be addressed to the “Samaritan Room, Royal Infirmary.” Parcels will be called for if a post card is sent to the “Head Porter, Royal Infirmary.” The Committee records with deep regret the loss suffered through the death of Mrs Crum Brown, who for twenty years was a member of the Committee of Management and a most active supporter of the Society. The Committee acknowledges with thanks a donation of ^5 from the fund administered by the Town Council’s Committee of Public Health, and also takes this occasion of expressing its continued indebtedness for the co-operation of the Managers, Superintendent, Medical Staff, and Nurses of the Royal Infirmary and other Institutions, and for the kindness of friends who have furnished subscribers' recommendations to hospitals, and orders on the Cheap Coal Society. 8
