SUPPLE, Boston SOLDIERS' HOME IN MASSACHUSETTS REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT NOVEMBER 30, 1935. To the Trustees of the Soldiers' Home in Massachusetts: GENTLEMEN :-The fifty-third Annual Report of the Soldiers' Home in Mas­ sachusetts for the year ended November 30th, 1935, is herewith submitted. During the past year the construction of the new Dormitory, described in some detail in the report of the Commandant, has progressed satisfactorily under the direction and control of the old corporate board of trustees, as pro­ vided by Chapter 41, Resolves of 1934, and soon will be ready for occupancy. When this building is turned over to the Commonwealth, the old board of trustees will cease to function as an administrative body. This record would not be complete without a word of appreciation of the services of this board of trustees, and its predecessors in office during the past fifty-two years, particu­ larly of the majority group of members of the G. A: R. Their zeal and con­ stancy in the work of caring for the veterans has been unsurpassed in welfare undertakings, and the splendid buildings which now adorn Powder Horn Hill are, and should be monuments to these good men who foresaw the need of estab­ lishing a Soldiers' Home in Massachusetts, and from small beginnings, and through years of trial, worked devotedly and unceasingly to fulfill the hope of its founders. It is recommended that suitable action be taken by the new board of trustees to commemorate by tablet, or otherwise, their unselfish devotion and accomplishment. 4 The board of trustees, appointed under the provisions of Chapter 452 of the Acts of 1931, has completed its first year of administrative control of the Home. A new Commandant was elected, and during the year the new State Law pro­ viding for a forty-eight hour week for employees became effective. It is a pleas­ ure to record that these changes were inaugurated without interruptions in the character and quality of the service to members of the Home, which is a matter of credit and congratulation to the business-like efficiency of the Commandant, and gracious, interested co-operation by the new Trustees. The Captain John E. Adams Hospital continues to earn the unqualified ap­ proval of those who have appreciatively benefited by its ministrations, and again, for the eighth consecutive year, the Hospital is given the highest rating by the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Society. It is gratifying to note that the morale of the Home continues on a high plane, and grateful acknowledgment is made to all who in any way have con­ tributed. There is definite need for early consideration of plans of replacement, or mod­ ernization of the Dormitory known as Sargent Hall. Your attention is directed to the recommendations of the Commandant and Chief Engineer in this regard, and in respect to repairs, alterations, and improvements in the Hospital and other buildings.

    Daniel Hewett's List of Newspapers and Periodicals in the United States in 1828

    1934.] Newspapers and Periodicals, 1828 365 DANIEL HEWETT'S LIST OF NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1828 ANIEL HEWËTT, compiler of the list of News- D papers and Periodicals published in the United States in 1828, is a little known figure in American literary life. H!e first appeared in print with "The Traveller's Guide through the United States and Brief Geographical View of the World," published at New York in 1822. He then issued "A New and Complete System of Short hand, or Stenography" published at Philadelphia in 1823. This was followed by a second edition printed at Washington with the same title in 1824, and also the same work with the revised title of "The Self Taught Stenographer; or, A New and Complete System of Short hand," Washington, 1824. In 1825 Èiewett published the second of his several books on American geography and statistics, "The American Traveller; or. National Directory containing an Account of the Roads of the United States, with a Description of the Country, and a Geographical and Statistical View of the United States," a work of 440 pages, printed at Washington. In 1829 he issued at New York "A Gazetteer of the New-England States," a small volume of 84 pages. In the West, Richardson & Lord papers in the American Antiquarian Society is an agreement made by Hewett with that firm, and signed by him February 4, 1830, promising to prepare a complete gazetteer of the United States, for which he was paid $75 on account. Throughout all this period, from 1824 to 1843 or after, he was editing a small magazine entitled "The Universal Traveller," or some- times "The Traveller and Monthly Gazetter," or 366 American Antiquarian Society [Oct., "Philadelphia Traveller and Gazetteer,"¡ which went through a different series of volume numbering and was frequently varied in its contents.
