REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. To the Patrons and Members of the Mount Sinai Training School for Nurses: With pleasure and great satisfaction I present to you to-day an account of our stewardship for the past two years, and submit a report on the present condition of our School. We are indeed proud of the fact that we are able to record the largest number of nurses in the history of the institution. I may say that there are very few training schools in this coun- try who can show more nurses in training than we. For years it has been our aim to supply the Mount Sinai Hospital with all the nurses required for the care of its patients, not only in its general wards, but also in the Private Pavilion. This ambition has now been realized. Since we have occupied our present building, we have grad- ually admitted more and more probationers, so that at the pres- ent time we have reached the full capacity of the School. On October 1st last, we were able to take over the Private Pavilion, or, in other words, to supply the Private Pavilion of the Mount Sinai Hospital with pupil nurses from the School, and thus save the Hospital a large amount of money and at the same time give our pupils an opportunity to become familiar with the care of pri- vate patients. We are also supplying the Mount Sinai Dispensary with trained nurses, and at the present time there are five of our pupils on service there. The average daily number of patients treated in the Dispensary is seven hundred, and the experience and train- ing which our nurses receive there, is certainly very valuable. Three nurses are constantly on duty in the diet kitchen, and three in the supply room. Experience in both these fields will prove exceedingly helpful to them in their future career. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. 9 Eight of our nurses are constantly on duty at the Sloane Maternity Hospital, and four at the Lying-in Hospital, thus ac- quiring a thorough training in the care and nursing of maternity cases. Formerly the Sloane Maternity Hospital was the only insti- tution which gave our pupils training in obstetrical cases, but since our School has materially expanded the Managers of said institution have informed us that they cannot take more than eight of our nurses at any one time. In order to enable all our pupils to take a maternity course, arrangements have been made with the Lying-in Hospital and for the last six months four of our nurses are constantly in training there. We are deeply in- debted to both institutions for their kind co-operation. , The number of pupil nurses in our School on January 1st, 1908, iwas 147, and since that time a class of probationers has been ad- mitted, so that to-day the total number is 178. In the class of 1906, 16 pupils received their diplomas, and in the class of 1907, 23 were graduated. At the graduation exercises to-night we shall have a class of thirty-seven who will receive their diplomas and medals. During the year 1906, 613 applications were received for ad- mission to the School, and during the year 1907, 533 applicants handed in their papers. Out of these, 92 probationers were ac- cepted in 1906, of whom 15 proved unsatisfactory. In 1907, 62 probationers were admitted to our School, five of whom were dropped during the year. The registry for Mount Sinai graduates, which is kept at the office of our Training School, is a means for the public to obtain the services of trained nurses. During the year 1906, nurses were supplied to 2339 cases, and during the year 1907, 2527 calls for nurses were received and answered.
