ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD 3 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT MAY 31, 1933 (Continued from Page 1) St. Augustine’s College in its budget for 1934. As time goes on we hope that the amount of this ap propriation will be increased and that the other Diocese of the State will follow this example. Again one of our College teachers has been granted a fellowship by the General Education Board for a year’s graduate study. The present reduced income of the College in volves a serious danger to the quality of the ^^oik and standing of the Institution as well as to the proper maintenance of the plant. St. Augustine s should have an adequate endowTuent as well as increased help from other sources. e ask the friends of the College to remember it in their wills. An example of such giving is a bequest which will probably amount to about twenty fi^e hundred dollars, in the will of the late Miss Marj Carter of Great Barrington, Mass., who many years ago taught at St. Augustine’s. St. Aones Hospital St. Agnes Hospital, with its Training School for N'urses, has thus far succeeded in weathering the financial storm, largely through aid allow e by the Duke Endowment because of its large amount of charity work. St. Agnes continues to be recognized both in the State and I^^ation as one of the very best hospitals and training schoo s of its kind. During the past year there have been over 900 bed patients, about 19,000 hospital days and about 600 operations. About 850 out pa tients have been treated in the Clinic. A separate report from the Superintendent of the Hospita , Mrs. Frances Worrall, who is rendering most faithful and efficient service, will also be presente to you. The Bishoi- Tuttle Training School The Bishop Tuttle School for young ^^omen who are preparing to enter fields of Social Ser\ ice and Religious Education has been continuing its good work. This school is supported as a special pi'oject by the o^ational Woman’s Auxiliary. P ai^s are being made to develop the curriculum in ^ of the fact that most of the students come to it after graduation from College and aie thus qua i fied for advanced training. It is also hoped that arrangements can be made for them to lecene suitable degrees from the College. In connection with the school, as a kind of practice dime, is the work at the Coininuiiity House given two years ago by Mrs. A. B. Hunter. In addition to direct ing various community projects and clubs t le staff and students have assumed general responsi bility for the Neighborhood Sunday School which is connected with St. Augustine s Chapel. i® prospects for an ever increasing usefulness of the Training School are very good. The devoted Dean and Administraive Head of the School, Miss Bertha Richards, is also submitting a report. Respectfully submitted, EDGAR H. GOOLD, President. ST.
