Among the Sanitariums

By L. A. H.

The nurses of the Madison (Wis.) Sanitarium enjoyed some good experiences in selling “Ministry of Healing” and many magazines. The first consignment of the special number of the Signs of the Times found them ready to engage in its distribution, every nurse having planned for an active part in the Harvest Ingathering campaign. This missionary spirit is accompanied by a consecration of the workers in their institutional work, giving a resultant cheerful faithfulness in their daily duties and a blessed service to patients.
The visiting nurses of the Glendale (Cal.) Sanitarium make use of many magazines and tracts in their daily calls. Substantial results are already being realized from this good work.
We note that several physicians from our sanitariums have been filling appointments outside of their institutional work, giving lectures and conducting services. This is certainly an effective way of doing good, in more ways than one.
The management of the Hinsdale (Ill.) Sanitarium, recognizing the close relation of field effort to institutional interests, as well as the responsibility of missionary educational effort for the people, and the importance of personal experience to workers, is pressing a vigorous field campaign. The nurses who are privileged to engage in that work, report most profitable and interesting experiences. The sanitarium recently graduated a class of five, the address being delivered by Elder G. B. Starr, of Melrose, Mass.
Dr. Ida Shively-Nelson, who has for some time been quite busy in private practise at Oklahoma City, is now connected with the staff of the St. Helena (Cal.) Sanitarium.
The Walla Walla (Wash.) Sanitarium for a time has discontinued its nurses’ training-class. The superintendent, Dr. I. A. Dunlap, states that this will not decrease the effective work of the institution, but is part of a plan to strengthen its service. Graduate help is now being used. Satisfactory arrangements were made with the St. Helena Sanitarium whereby the student nurses can continue their training.
D. R. Callahan, for ten years business manager of the Nebraska Sanitarium at College View, has severed his connection with that institution. The constituency of the sanitarium recognizes that its financial prosperity is in a large measure due to the careful and conservative management of Brother Callahan. He is succeeded by Lars Neilson, of South Dakota.
After two years of change of work, G. A. Williams again enters sanitarium work, being now business manager of the Nebraska Sanitarium at Hastings, Nebr. His former experience was in connection with the Atlanta (Ga.) institution.
Dr. L. L. Andrews is well installed as superintendent of the Atlanta Sanitarium, succeeding Dr. J. H. Neall, who takes up private work in that city.
Dr. A. L. Gregory, recently of Florida, takes the superintendency of the Graysville (Tenn.) Sanitarium, on the resignation of Dr. A. I. Lovell, who plans to engage in special work for a time.
