4 ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD Report of the President May 25, 1932 (Continued from Page 1) St. Agnes Hospital St. Agues Hospital, witli its Training Scliool for Nurses, has had many increasing demands on it for charity work and lias been a source of untold comfort and blessing to hundreds of needy patients. The help given by the Duke Endow ment toward the expense of charity cases has been a decisive factor in enabling the work to go on. During the year there have been over 800 bed patients, and about 21,000 hospital days. 410 oj)erations have been performed. Over 800 out ])aticnts have been treated in the Clinic. The patients have themselves paid only about .$0,000, a considerable falling off from ])revious years. According to statistics of the Duke Endowment, St. Agnes has the lowest per capita cost of any Hospital in the Carolinas. Bishop Tuttle School The Bishop Tuttle School for Church and Wel fare Workers, maintained by the National Woman’s Auxiliary, has had a busy year. A great deal of practical work has been made i>ossil)le in connection with the Comnuinity House in the neighborhood, a gift of Airs. A. B. Hunter. Two of the graduates of last year arc working in South ('arolina and one in Arkansas. Another is serving as a Field Secretary of the National Wonuui’s Auxiliary, heli)ing to establish and develop its work in ('olored Alissions and I’arishes. One of th“ ])resent graduating class has already been placed in (Jeorgia, and another in South Carolina. It is to be hoped that North Carolina will soon make more use of the services of these excellently trained young women. Respectfully submitted, EDC.AU 11. (JOOLD, President. ST.
