Hospitals to Be Thrown Open for Public Inspection Opportunity Given to Become Better Acquainted With Service of City’s Institutions.
Citizens of Indianapolis will Join tomorrow with citizens of every city in ' the United States where a hospital is located, in observation of “National Hospital day.” On this day the air of “mystery” and the presumable “veil of secrecy” will be lifted, and for the first time, in many instances, the people will obtain first-hand knowledge of the “inside” workings of hospitals and their staffs. Doors of every public hospital in the country will be thrown wide open, and visitors will be invited to inspect, from cellar to garret, the institutions. It will be a day when citizens will “know their hospitals." / For years, although the feeling has diminished considerably in the last few years, persons have viewed hospitals with awe, and characterized them, figuratively, as *&a" last place they wish tcgo.” Never, except when a loved one is confined therein, would one think of going to a hospital. They look with respect at the white-clad, soft-shoed. smiling nurses, and with fear at the doctors on the hospital staffs, whom they Imagine are merely waiting for the chance to get them on the operating table. EFFORT TO DISPEL DREAD. In order to dispel this feeling and to give the public a chance to see what the Inside of a hospital is like, and give persons the chance when they are able to see It la a manner not of necessity, President Warren G. Harding, Gen. John J. Pershing, Governor Warren T. McCray and Mayor Charles W. Jewett have issued proclamations calling on the people of the country, State and city to visit the hosiptais of their city May 12. Every hospital In Indianapolis has prepared for the day. For wee*a various committees representing all the hospitals have been busy preparing programs for the entertainment and plans for taking care of the visitors that are expected. Each hospital will have guides to conduct visitors through the institution. Flags and flowers will be presented each disabled ex-service man in hospitals of the city. Memorial exercises have been arranged for soldier patients at the Ontral Indiana Hospital for the Insane at 2 o’clock. Ed Jackson, secretary of
STEEL PLANT IS INSPECTED First C. of C. Industries Visit , Impresses All Who Make Trip. There were all Borts of Impressive and Interesting features conected with the visit to the Chapman Price Steel Company's plant by a large party of manufacturers and business men of the city, under the auspices of the. industries com mlttee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, yesterday afternoon. In the first place, the visitors were impressed with the site of the plant—its size in all (lirections-helght, length and width, and by the Hlze of the tract on which if is situated. The bigness of everything in the plant, from the husky men who worked in it to the big cranes that swung leisurely along from one end of the big building to the other with burdens of steel that seemed only toys from the easy manner in which they were handled, formed another impressive feature. And the noise! There was bigness there, too, beginning with the shear-like machines that cut the thirty-foot sheet bars of steel into suitable lengths to be handled by the rollers. It truly was a scene of industry teeming with interest as well as Impressiveness. The long line of visitors was welcomed at the gate by Niles Chapman, president of the company; L. H. treasurer, and J. J. Beck, first vice president, with a warm hand-clasp and a word of greeting. Just beyond them was a very interesting featnre —a group of pretty girls who pinned to the coat lapel of each vilstor a big carnation. There wasn't any red tape about the visit. Each member of the party was at liberty to wander as he willed; to tarry longest before some bit —big bit—of mechanism with apparently human intelligence, where the steel was beginning to assume the form of "black sheets;” before the pickling vats, where the sheets were cleaned and the scale removed from them; before the tanks where the sheets were galvanized, or before the machines in the fabricating department where various articles were being fashioned of the galvanized sheets. And there was always someone near at hand who could answer questions when any of the visitors were mystified as to the exact purpose of one or the other of the many machines. Following the visit through the plant, the visitors and officials of the plant assembled near the gate, where there were short talks by Mayor Jewett, Charles F. Coffin, president of the Chamber of Commerce; Mr. Chapman, Mr. Price, Leif Lee, consulting engineer of the company ; Mr. Beck, John B. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and Wallace O. Lee, chairman of the Tlsitlng committee of the industries committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Other visits of similar nature, under the auspices of the Industries committee of the Chamber of Commerce, will be made to other large plants about Indianapolis during the summer. LECTURE AT CHURCH TOMORROW. Frederick W. Ferklns, D. D., of Lynn, Mass., will give a lecture tomorrow right at 8 o'clock, on "Universallsm," at the Central Universallst Church, Fifteenth and New Jersey streets. The lecture will be free of charge.

Indianapolis lg as well supplied with first-class hospitals as any large city in the country. A short resume of the histories of the leading hospitals of Indianapolis follows: PROTESTANT DEACONESS HOSPITAL —Operated under thq management of the Protestant Deaconess Society, which was organized in 1805, obtaining a hospital charter June 12 of that year. Patients of the hospital were cared for for five years by the Deaconesses. when in 1900 a regular training school for nurses was organized, with a three years’ course, which now has reached & yearly enrollment of fifty students. Nurses from the Deaconess Hospital were active In the World War, two of the number dying overseas. They were Miss Margaret Hamilton and Miss Mae Berry, after whom the Hawikton-Berry post of the Service Star Legion has been named. The State College Hospital property was purchased in 1910 and has been converted into a nurse's home. Commencement exercises will be held in the home May 29 at 3 o'clock, when seven young women will be graduated. The hospital and nurse’s home will be open for inspection tomorrow. \ The Protestant Deaconess Hospital is located opposite the Indiana State oapltol, one block from the Traction Terminal Station, and five blocks from the Union Station. One Government ward for treatment of disabled soldiers is maintained there. IMPROVEMENTS AT METHODIST HOSPITAL. METHODIST EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL The Methodist Eptscopal Hosrltal, Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue, was opened for the reception of patients thirteen years ago this month. It is operated under the supervision of a board of trustees elected by the three conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Churches of Indiana. The society which had under control the erection and institution of the hospital was incorporated under the States laws in 1899 and the corner stone of the building was laid in 1908. It is an open hospital, in other words, all practicing physicians are admitted to practice in the institution. Dr. C. F. Woods, Is superintendent. The hospital has ten graduate nurses, with a training corps of ISO student nurses. With its present equipment it is able to care for 276 patients and with the construction of anew west wing, having seventy-five beds, it will become a 350-bed hospital. The new wing will be opened about Sept. 1. The hospital has splendidly equipped X-Ray and clinical laboratories, under the supervision of experts, and maintains a staff of expert anaesthetists at a large cost. An invitation has been extended by the hospital for the public to visit the institution at any time during Hospital day. ST. VINCENT’S CARES FOR 12,000 ANNUALLY. ST. VINCENT'S HOSPITAL This } institution was founded April 27. 1881, and is the oldest hospital in Indianapolis. For eighteen year* the hospital was maintained in a small frame building, under the supervision of the Sisters of Charity. In 1899 the small infirmary had outgrown its old quarters, and steps were taken for the construction of a larger instituiion. The second building wag so much larger than the first that the Sisters thought they had a building that would suffice for years to come. By 1906 1.200 patients were cared for, and many applications for admission to the hospital were turned away. In 1908 preparations were made for the construction of anew and large building, i and in 1913 construction of the present building, representing an investment of approximately one million dollars, was ; begun. No particular school of architecture was followed In the construction of the | new building. At present the hospital cares for approximately 12,000 patieuts each year, and extensions are being planned. The hospital is operated under the supervision of the Sisters of Charity, a i long line of Sister Superiors having had I the guiding hand in bringing the institution to its present position in the medical world. Sister Theresa was Sister Superior of the hospital until 1887, being succeeded by Sister Stella Boyle, who erected the South street infirmary j during her administration The train I ing school for nurses, which now has j sixty student nurses, also was cstab- [ llshed under her administration. Sister i Madeline McDermott was her successor, and she was followed by the present Superior, Sister Mary Jus*>ph. One hundred and fifty visiting physicians practice at St. Vincent's Hospital, j It is located on Fall Creek boulevard, between Illinois street and Capitol avenue. OPERATED BY I. U. TRUSTEES.

CITY HOSPITAL—The history of the Indianapolis City Hospital harkens back to Civil War days. The first unit of the hospital was erected in the early ’sos. It was several years, however, before it was put into use as a hospital. During post-war days, the buildings were used by the Government for hospitalization of Civil War veterans. Following that the buildings again fell into disuse, and it was not until May, 1880, that the present hospital organization was chartered under the laws of Indiana, and Dr. G. N. Woolen placed
