COST The daily per capita cost for food this year was 56 cents same as previous year. These figures represent the cost of food supplies before preparation.
1929 1930 Cost per Private Patient per diem $9.72 $11.94 Cost per Ward Patient per diem 5.63 6.81 Cost per capita covering all indoor patients 6.48 7.88 Cost of Provisions 154,868.29 150,440.46 Operating Expenses 860,280.68 1,097,804.58 Operating Receipts 504,541.13 482,915.34 Excess—Expenses vs. Receipts 355,739.55 614,889.24

Making the actual indoor expense of maintenance $646,435.72 or $7.88 per patient day’s care.
DEFICIT The operating deficit for the year amounts to $349,058.08, an increase over 1929 of $76,095.15. The net deficit after deducting revenue from investments and donations amounts to $310,875.01, an increase of $191,277.90 as compared with 1929. It should be noted, however, that the outlay for Extraordinary Repairs and Improvements in 1930 amounted to the large sum of $249,374.78 as against $71,974.88 in 1929, thus, accounting for $177,399.90 of the increase in loss over last year. OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 19 EXTRAORDINARY REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE YEAR 1930 New Incinerator $10,894.74 Main Entrance and Corridor 14,641.78 New Panel Board, Edison Service 12,167.12 Kitchen and Receiving Department 74,442.77 New Additions and Replacements 55,467.91 Miscellaneous—Alterations, etc 32,854.90 Laundry Machinery 3,398.00
Total $203,867.22
The sum which has been expended by your Board, in addition to the disbursements made for the Current support of the Hospital, is extremely large, and yet, every dollar disbursed for the various betterments referred to was wisely and carefully expended and provided improvements that were much needed.
PATHOLOGICAL There was a slight increase in the amount LABORATORY of work done in the Pathological Labora- tory this year over the preceding year. Two new tests have been incorporated in the regular routine: The Blood Sedimentation Test which is an aid in differentiating an infectious process from a purely mechanical disturbance in the
body ; and the Aschheim Zondex test, a biological procedure which has proved of considerable aid in the treatment of Female patients. It is not the policy of the Laboratory to perform tests of a research character, but to concentrate on the accurate performance of those tests which have demonstrated their usefulness and de- pendability. It is felt that these two new tests are worth con- sideration. —

Seaman 1,000,000.00 Respectfully submitted, George W. M. Stock, Superintendent. At a Meeting of the Board of Trustees of THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL
held May twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred and thirty the Chair announced with sorrow the death on the fifteenth day of May, nineteen hundred and thirty, of W. EMLEN ROOSEVELT the President of the Board of Trustees of The Roosevelt Hos- pital, in his 74th year.
Mr. Roosevelt was elected a Trustee in February, 1894, and became Secretary of the Board of Trustees in 1898, which office he held until his election as President in February, 1913. When assuming his office, he stated, “That he would devote the best of his abilities towards maintaining the standards of the Hospital and furthering its success,’’ and we, his associates, are duly conscious of how well he lived up to his highest hopes. In reviewing the thirty-six years during which Mr. Roosevelt was associated with the Hospital, the Board finds it difficult to adequately express their loss or to evaluate the great progress made by the Hospital under his able and wise leadership as President.
While the Funds for Endowed Beds and Memorials have materially increased during the years that he has been Presi- dent, and while many improvements have been made in the old Hospital buildings, the erection in 1922 of a modern Ward Building, accommodating 290 patients, ranks as the outstanding contribution to the group of Hospital Buildings.
He brought to the Hospital the benefits of his financial fore- sight and keen judgment, and impressed upon all of those with whom he came in contact in the Hospital the fairness of his judgments and the desire to be of service. Now that his work has ended his associates with sorrow re- ;j cord this sincere tribute and will ever be mindful of his memory.
Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that this minute be entered on the minutes of the Board and that a copy be sent to the family of Mr. Roosevelt as an ex- pression of their sympathy. | The above Resolution was unanimously adopted by a standing vote.

SCHOOL OF NURSING
March 26, 1931. To the Board of Trustees of The Roosevelt Hospital: Gentlemen
I have the honor to present the 34th Annual Report of the School of Nursing for the year ending December 31, 1930. Miss Isabel Douglas Richmond, Director of the School for twenty years, retired July 1, 1930, and the last half of 1930 has been one of “carrying on” by your new Director, a graduate of The Roosevelt Hospital School of Nursing, Class of 1911.
There have been no changes in the Faculty and but few in the Head Nurse Staff. The appointment of Assistant Head Nurses on all wards and General Duty Nurses to help in the care of pa- tients has enabled us to give better nursing care and to improve classroom and bedside teaching. Four hundred and six hours of practice and theory have been added to the curriculum. A new study room with adjoining offices for the three instructors has been equipped on the second floor of the Administration Building. The affiliations with Bloomingdale Hospital, Henry Street and Willard Parker are proving of great value to our students.
The Commencement Exercises for the Class of 1930 were held in the Syms Operating Building on Tuesday evening, May 6th, Mr. Thomas S. McLane presiding. The address to the Grad- uating Class was given by Dr. Dudley D. Stetson, and the School Pins were presented by Mr. McLane. Three graduates of the School were taken from our midst by death: Miss Celia M. Wetmore—Class of 1922, Miss Violet Wini- fred Culver—Class of 1929, and Miss Kathryn Agnes Sellman Class of 1927.
The Registry for Private Duty Nurses has had a good year in spite of the financial depression. One hundred and sixty-five nurses are registered.
Nurses called for Private Pavilion 1,551 Nurses called for Outside Duty 467
The Report of the Alumnae Association, under the able guidance of Miss Nina D. Gage—Class of 1908, is most encouraging. We have 416 members. The Alumna Quarterly, started by Miss Gage 23 24 FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT in 1929, and now edited by Miss Harriet Jane Smith—Class of 1909, is a very attractive bulletin and most interesting to all grad- uates of the School. To the Board of Trustees, the Attending Staff, the House Staff, the Nursing Staff and our many loyal graduates we are deeply indebted for their support and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,

Our greatest handicap this Winter due to the unemployment situation was to act as a clearing house for many of the people, other than patients who came for aid, and whenever possible con- nect them with the organization that could rehabilitate them most efficiently. The Volunteer Workers, which average seven, have been able to increase the efficiency of the five clinics in which they work. FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Any member of the Medical Board may send to the wards of the Hospital such patients as he sees fit, giving them a special order for admission, subject to the regulations of the Hospital. 4. No patient suffering from any contagious disease shall be admitted, except such cases of emergency as require immediate attention ; and cases so admitted shall be placed in the isolating room only. 5.

Application for the admission of patients living out of the city must be addressed to the Superintendent of the Hospital and accompanied by a certificate of some respectable physician, stating the nature and probable duration of the disease. 7. If, in the opinion of the Superintendent, ability to pay exists, such charge as he deems advisable up to $4 per day may be made for the ward patients’ board. II. Rules for Patients 1.

No patients shall enter the dead-house, engine-rooms, kitchen, theatre, or any of the attendant’s rooms, except by order of the Superintendent or other officer of the house. 5. No patient shall leave the house without permission of the Superintendent. When desiring to go beyond the Hospital bounds, patients must obtain a card from the House Physician, Surgeon or Gynaecologist, at his morning round, stating that he has no objections, which card, when countersigned by the Superintendent, will serve them as a pass, and will be good for the day upon which it is given, but must be surrendered to the doorkeeper when the patient goes out. 6. Patients admitted to the Hospital must leave with the Super- intendent for safekeeping, for which a receipt will be given, any money or other valuables they may have ; and in case of their failure to do so, the Hospital will not be responsible for any loss which may occur.

No patient may purchase, or solicit any attendant to pur- chase for him, any articles whatever without permission of the Superintendent. No member of the House Staff, Nurse or other employee shall receive any compensation, gift or bequest from any patient, unless authorized to do so by the Visiting Committee. Any infraction of this rule makes the employee liable to immediate dismissal. All complaints should be made to the Superintendent. 8. Patients are admitted only upon condition that they and their visitors comply with the rules, and failure to do so may necessitate their removal. 52 FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT Changes To date (1931) in the members of the Board of Trustees and in the Officers of the Hospital since its organization; also in the Medical Staff.
