Trm Chapter ha ' to make the following Report to the General \, '. Cm1ll:r

The following admlssion. haye been made to the Order during the pa. t year : D((JlI(,s C1tcmlihcs oj J/lsticc-Lady Daubenf'y; 1\1rs. l\1acpherson of Cluny; 1\lrs.

Oallender, F.R.O.S. ; Edmund Owen, YR.C.fI.; Professor Friedrich Esmarch, Surgeon-General to the Prussiall Army; Lieutenant-General Renard, Aide-de-Oamp to the King of the Belgians and 1\linister of \,\T ar ; Count Hem'y de Beaufort, Secretary-General of the Societe Fran«aise de SecolU's alU Blesses l\lilitaires; Henry \Yentworth Acland, Esq., M.D., LL.D., Regius Professor of l\1eclicine at Oxford. The following Members of the Order have deceased during the year : Surgeon-Major P. Shepherd, l\1.B., Army 1\leclical Department; killed in action at the battle of IsancUana, January 22nd, 1879 ; Captain Harry Blair; l\lajor F. Wollaston; J. Henderson. A

It is almost impossible to estimate the extent of the loss which Lhe Order has sustained by the premature death of Surgeon-Major Shepherd. Originally detailed by the War Office as one of the Surg80ns appointed by the Government to aid our Ambulance Department in the instruction of the l\Ietropolitan Police, he was not long in realizing the importance of the work which had been instituted by the Order, and he gave himself up to it with all the zeal and devotion of a vigorous mind and enthusiastic natlue. His power of conveying information, and his genial manner of illustrating the course of instruction given by him, not only secured the attention of his pupils, but greatly endeared him to them, and it is not to be wondered at, that on his leaving England for foreign service, there should have been such g neml expre sion of appreciation of his services, and deep regret at hi. departure. His last work for the Order was the compilation of the valuable little l\1anual for the use of the Ambulance Classes which is now so extensively known. His death, like his life, was a noble instance of self-sacrifice for the good of others. After doing all he could for the wounded on the fatal field of IsancUana, he was retiring on hoI' eback, with the few who had escaped the general carnage, when his attention was called to a trooper in the Natal Carabineers who had been severely wounded. Dismounting immediately, he endeavoured to minister to the man's relief, and when remolUlting was struck by an assegai and mortally wOlUlded. Captain Harry Blair was for some years Assistant Secretary, and subsequently Librarian. He was a most conscientious and devoted Officer of the Langue, and his varied experience and matured judgment, combined with his love for the principles and traditions of the Order, whose ubjects he cherished with all the ardour of a deeply religious mind, were of great service to the Langue, and his retirement from active work, in consequence of failing health, was general1y regrettr-d . The following changes and. appointments made during the past year, are recorded :Rev. W. K. R. Bedford has been appointed Genealogist. Mr. ,T ohn Furley has been appointed Assistant Director of the Ambulance Department, vice Mr. Rupert C. F. Dallas, resigned.

5 Mr. John Furley has also been appoiuted to fill the additional office of Director of Stores, rendered necessary by the large increase of mathiel, resulting from the formation of so many new Ambulance Centres. The greatly augmented labours of the Secretariat of the Ambulance Department having rendered the employment of a clerk indispensable, the Chapter has undertaken to provide his salary for the first year, as an advance to the Ambulance Committee, to be repaid by them when they are in a position to do so. In reviewino' the work of the Order during the past year, the principal . u bject of record and of congratulation is the very rema.rkable growth of the St. John Ambulance As ociation all over England, proving how much such an organization was required, and how cal)a.ble it is of still fm'ther and more important development and extension. The details of the work done, and in progress, will be laid before the General A. sembly by the Director in a separate statement and report. The Chapter desires to take this opportunity of conveying to :Major Duncan, the Director of the Ambulance Department, to II'. Furley, the Director of Stores, and to the Secretary, Captain Perrott, their cordial acknowledgments of the unrelllitting labom's bestowed by them upon the work of the Ambulance Department during the past year, which have combined to secure such gratifying results. The Bronze Medal of the Order ha been awarded to PoliceConstable Stephen Little, of the E division of tbe l\Ietropolitan Police for an act of bravery at the risk of his own life, under the following circumstances :-A lunatic woman had got upon the very steep roof of a house in Gray's Inn Square, and was in a position of great danger in consequence; Police-Constable Little, without hesitation, climbed up the roof, and brought the woman safely down. Had either of them lost their footing they would have fallen from a height of between 60 and 70 feet, and would, beyond doubt, have been killed on the spot. The medal was presented in July last by the Lord Prior, the

Duke of JUanchester, K.P., at a prm.lde of the l\letropolitan Police at the ,Vellil1gton Barracks, about 200 ConstalJles, detailed from the several London Divisions being present, as well as the Chief COlllll1issioner, Colonel Sir E. HenderRon, K.C.B., Captain Harris, and other officials of the Police Force. The recipient was addressed by the Lord Prior, \yho then invested him ,,~th the medal, and ir E. Henderson thanked His Grace for the recognition, by the Order of St. John, of distinguished gallantry shown by memlJers of the Police Force, of which the present case was an example. Three other applications fOT the medal of the Order have been made during the past year; lmt in each case, the Council, after due consideration, ,,,as compelled to decline the award. In one case, that of a surgeon 'who was attached to the TlU'ki h Army, and in the performance of military duty when the act of bravery was performed, the Council, "hilst fully recoO'uiz::illg the gallantry displayed, decided that it was not within it· l)roYince to recolllll1end the award. A second case was that of a gentleman who had r "cuell a woman from being run oyer by a train, in the year 1S7!); lmt it was decided, that owing to the length of time \yhich hall elap ell, the Council was unable to recolllmend the award. The third case was an application in fayour of six lllen who had saved lives in the Abercarne ~Iine accident, but although the Manager's attention was called to the a'ivard of medals by the Order for such services within a short time after the accident, no application for them was made until ji'Ce months afterwards, and was, in consequence, declined. It has been resolved that in the conditions for the award of the medals, an addition should be made to the effect that, whilst, as at present provided, applications for the medals should be made within one month from the occurrence of the act of bravery, they can in no case, be entertained by the Chapter afte?' three months have elapsed, provided that the act of bravery shall have occurred within the United Kingdom.

recommended to the care and charity of the Order by the authorities at the Oharing Oross and King's CoUege Hos]?itals, and it appeal'fJ that these recommendations are considered of much value in such cases as need assistance. I myself consider that the charitable exertions of the Order could not take a better direction than for these purposes in the JIetropolis, because there is 110 public charity which places this particular need among its objects and duties. It is true that Convalescent Establi hments have been orgunized at places out of the l\letropolis, and at the easide, but these leave aside and unattended to, the cases which the Order now subsidizes. In my opinion, then, it would be good, and enough, that their charity ,hould be confined to this object, but that it would be desil'able that the sphere of their action should, if possible, be extended, by connecting themselves with other Hospitals in lil~e manner. Ways and means must, however, be devised, and herein is OlU difficulty, bec ause neither are the arms of the Almoner long enough to embrace so large a purpose; nor are the funds at the di posal of the Order suilicient for it; indeell, the urnLed efforts of both 'would fail to effect it. Yet the Council might be able to devise some plan for procuring funds for so great an advantage. If I might myself venture to suggest one, it would be that the Order, through their Almoner, should address them. elves to the District Visiting ociety in \yhich YOlu' Almoner is a Committeeman, asking them to devote to this particular object, under the dispensations of the Order, aid to Convalescents belonging to, or inhabiting in, the Parishes and District, with which the District Visiting ociety is in connection. Of course, for this purpose, proper persons for visiting and inquiries would have to be found up by the Order. I have gone into this subject at some length, because I hold ,trongly to the opinion that the Order cannot do better than to continue and endeavour to extend the benefits effected by this work. I have only to add, that the Diets for the last year have been issued for the £15 per quarter, by the Lady Superior of St. John' House in a satisfactory manner, in the following proportion :-

The Almoner, General the Viscount Templetown, K.O.B., reports as follows :During the past twelve months, the duties and ministrations of the Almoner have been limited to the object in which they were engaged at his last Report; the dieting of the (Jonvalescents

I have, at the same time, to state now, my regret' that, owinc r to my own absence from London, and the occnpation of my Assistant, 1\11'. Maxwell Lyte, the cases haye not been visited as they ought to have been. I have, however, no reason to suspect any inaccuracy in the statements in writing affixed to each case, under the signature of the Lady Superior; and all these I have, of course, myself examined. If, as I hope may be, with the as istance of our esteemed Receiver, a paid visiting inquirer can be established, very much will be gained. There are many valid rea ons why all cases should not be visited by Ladies 01' Gentlemen, (. 'ignecl)

A final payment of £50 has been made in order to secure the Patent on the St. John Ambulance Litter. The merit of the Litter as a valuable addition to the existing means of relieving suffering has been still further recognised by the award of a Prize Medal by the Sanitary Institute of Great Britain, and by a certificate of merit from the :Mining Institute of Cornwall. The Commander of the Worcestershire (Hanley Castle) Commandery reports that--The diet system, under the new arrangement, as explained in the last report, has continued to be successfully carried out. In their last report, the Committee of the Worcester Dispensary thus record their acknowledgment of the aid rendered : (( The diets supplied by the Order of St. John have contributed greatly to restore the health of many of our patients," The follow ing is the return of diets for the year ending this day.

The Chapter has great pleasure in announcing that H is Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh has been pleased to accept the office of President of the Ashford Centre, and H is Royal Highness Prince Leopold that of the Oxford Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association. The meeting of the Association, promoted by the Ambulance Department of the Order, and held in the Theatre in the Royal United Service Institution, in February last, was of the most successful anrl gratifying nature. The theatre was filled to overflowing, and the meeting, under the presidency of the Almoner, General the Viscount Templetown, K .C.B., who was supported by many members and associates of the Order, was enthusia.stic in its reception of the members of the

Gate property, and in the meantime to take a lease of the same from, 'ir E. Lechmere. The arrangements for the Lease are nearly completed, and the tenancy of the Gate by the Order will shortly commence. It i' intended to make a general appeal to the Members and Associates of the Order) with a view to raise the sum required for the purchase. 'orne very liberal sums have already been promised, and it is hoped that the Committee-which has already undertaken a considerable amount of responsibility with the sole object of securing, if possible, po. ession of this venerable relic of the Order-may be generously supported by their confreres and associates.

The active assistance given by the Director of 'tore, and the supply of 1ncddriel collected through the agency of the Ambulance Department, have enabled the Chapter to send out a considerable quantity of bandages, and other useful appliances) for the u e of the army in Zululand. The Chapter has had under its can ideration the que tion of availing itself still further of the resources of the J:. mbulance Department and of the Guarantee Fund, with a view to send out a small contingent of Surgeons, mth a Commissioner, in aid of the Staff of the Army Medical Department. A letter was addressed to the ecretary of tatc for War, offering the assistance of the Order, and inquiring in what way it could best be given. The reply was) that the Army 1edical Department at present required nothing for use in Natal, cc but that should any further demands in the course of the war with the Zulu be macle, assi tance from the Order of St. John of Jerusalem will be gladly accepted." Preliminary steps having heen taken, during the past year, hy means of a small Comlllittee, to negotiate for the purclw. e of , 'L, John's Gate and the adjoining tavern, a larger and permanent Committee has been formed, consisting 01'The Duke of Manchester. Lord Conyngham Lord Glasgow Lord Dudley Lord Templetown Lord Leigh Sir Brook Kay, Bart. Sir E. Lechmere, Bart., M.P. Lieutenant-Colonel Gould Weston, F.S.A. Oolonel J. Bourne, M.P. Major F. Duncan) R.A. Mr. E. Freshfield (with power to add to their number) with a view to devise means for raising the necessary funds for the purchase of the St. John's

The memorandum presented to Sir H. Elliot, by the Secretary, 'ir E. Lechmere, in December, 1876, on behalf of the Order of St. J olm, respecting the acquisition of a site for an English Hospital in the city of J eru 'alem, was communicated to the Porte, which caused iucluiries to be made, when it was discovered that the land, which the Orcler \yi hed to acquire did not belong to the Turkish Government but to the Greek Convent at Jerusalem. Application was accordingly made by the Embassy to the {Ecumenical Patriarch at ionstantinople, who communicated with the Greek authorities at Jerusalem, but without any satisfactory result. It appeared that the land in question) which is very near the site of the ancient Hospital of St. John, given by the Sultan to the Prussian J ohanniter, was of great importance, from its being in the centre of the surrounding Convents, and reserved for the completion of further works proposed by the Greek Community at Jerusalem, in order to maintain, with dignity, the rights of their nation at the Holy Place . In July of the same year, 1\11'. Noel 1\100re) Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Jerusalem, being in London, Sir E. Lecl1mere consulted him on the subject. Mr. Moore considered that the " Meidan" between the city walls and the Prussian buildings to the Westward, would be the most favourable site for the object proposed, and thought that the present would be a good time for making an application for such a site, and that if supported by the English Government it would probably be favourably received.

He further considered that a small Dispensary for natives, if it could be attached to the Hospital, would be very valuable. In August the Secretary, Sir E. Lechmere, at the request of the Chapter, wrote to Sir A. Layard, to ask him if he thought the Porte could be induced to make a grant of land at the spot designated by Mr. Moore, and urging the special grounds on which the Order felt itself justified in making the application, which had already been embodied in the memorandum to ir H. Elliot; pointing out more especially the grants already made for similar objects belonging to other Nations, and in particular to the Pru sian Order of t. J olm. In November, Sir A. Layard replied that he had cOllllllunicated to the Porte the desire of the Order of t. John and that the Porte had applied to the" Mutissarif" of J eru alem for information on the subject, but that up to the date of his writing no reply had been received. In January last, a further communication was received to the effect that the Sublime Porte awaited, before -givjng an answer, the receipt of information requested from the Governor of the Holy Places, who had not, however, replied, notwithstanding that several despatches and telegrams had been sent to him by the Central authorities to hasten his reply. In February, the Reverenrl W. W. Malet wrote on hi own responsibility to Lord Salisbury on the subject. Lord alisbury kindly replied that he would give the matter his attention, and would be glad, if he found himself able, to assist the 01 ject of the Order in any way. In March last, Sir E. Lechmere availed himself of the opportunity offered by Sir A. Layard's visit to England, to remind him of the matter. Sir A. Layard expressed hinlself most willing to do anything in his power to aid the object in view, and retluested Sir E. Lechmere to write to him on the subject. A letter has been recently received from Sir A. Layard, but only in reference to the ancient cannon of the Knights at Rhodes. In March, Sir E. Lechmere had an interview with Lord Salisbury, asking his Lordship's friendly aid in getting a reply from the Porte, and in June received a letter from his Lordship to the effect that instructions had been sent to Her Majesty's Representatives at Constantinople, to report whether it was likely that objections would be rai~ed on the part of the Porte to the wishes of the Order of St. John, that Mr. Malet had reportecl.

having placed himself in communication with the Acting British Consul at Jerusalem, upon the subject, as well as with the authorities at the Porte, and that as soon as any further information is receivell at the Foreign Office, it will be communicated to the Secretary of the Order of St. John.

The Receiver's accounts for the past year have been examined and audited. The cash balance in the Bankers' hands is £71 68. 6el. The capital of the Langue amounts to £ 688, invested III Bank Stock and Queensland Government Bond . The Balance in favour of the Medal Account i £60 Os. 5d. A donation of £20 has again been made by the Chapter to the funds of the St. John Ambulance A. sociation. Addresses of congratulation and sympathy haye been pr sente(l by the Chapter to His Royal Highne s the Duke of COl1naugbt, un the occasion of his marriage, and to H er :Majesty, the Queen, on the lamented death of Her Royal Highness the Princes Alice, of Hesse. To the first an autograph letter from the Prince \Va. received, expressing his warm acknowledgments of the good wishes of the Order. In the latter case, the reply of H er :Majesty, conveyed thl'ough Lieutenant-General Sir H. F.

The Chapter cannot conclude their Report without expressing their satisfaction with the results of the past year, which have shown that the special HospitaUer work of the Order has fairly established itself in public favour and estimation, and that nothing remains but to complete its organisation, and to develop still further its means of usefulness. The Chapter would urge upon the Members and Associates

the great service which they may render to the Order by givino' their active support to the Ambulance Department as comprise~ in the St. John Ambulance Association, thus relieving the exertions of those whose labours have aheady achieved so much to secure the success of a movement which promises to open out so auspicious a future for the English Branch of OlU' venerable fraternity.

AMBULANCE DEPARTMENT. A\T~UAL

REPOR.T, ST. JOHN'S D1Y, 1879.

THE pr02rc3' of the Ambula.nce work of the Order, since St. J ohu's D .1Y, 1 78, was s rapid tha.t it was decided to publish a halfyC1.rly rcport, bringing the nanative down to February, 1879. Tilis ha been in the hands of membera for some time, and as far as 1)ossilJ1c any repetition of the facts therein stated will be avoided, hut to give a clear view of the year's work some reference to them will be neccssary. The two great divisions into which the Ambulance work resolves itself arc those touching (1) on the instruction of individuals of both sexes and all ranks in the first treatment of injured persons, until surgical aid can be obtained, and (2) on the more general distribution of such ambulance rnatririel as may be useful in diminishing the risk and suffering inseparable from the frequent accidents met with in daily life. It is not easy to allot the preference in importance to these, but as the first mentioned has a greater interest as yet, and will have, it is hoped, equal 11ermanence, it will be discussed first in this report.

Section A.-INSTRUCTION IN THE FIRST TREATMENT OF INJURED PERSONS.

It is a matter of l egitimate congratulation that the lines on which the scheme of this simple instruction was originally framed have requll'edlittle, if any, modification. The idea of decentralization, combined ·with sufficient supervision to ensure uniformity, has

been successfully carried out. Even where the centralization has not assumed the form of de£nite local machinery, there has always been some one ready to undertake the labour of administration, and there has never been any attempt to evade or reject the authority or wishes of the Central Committee. The anticipation that the same assistance would be rendere<.1 to the work by the members of the medical profession in the provinces as had been rendered by their metropolitan urethren, has also been fully realized, and the system of sending London examiners to test the pupils in provincial classes has been successful in securing uniformity of instruction, and possibly in preyenting local jealousies. The ready recognition of the services of the pupils after instruction, which it was felt "ould be an admirable sti?TI/lll'lls to the "ork, has also been most gracefully accorded, not merely by the Central :Medical Committee in 1.11 ir corporate capacity, but also by individual surgeons in the seyeral Ambulance centres. The only part of the scheme "hich requires further de,'elopment is that by which it "as hoped that by contributions from the various local Committees a central fund would be stablished for use in emergencies, for the gratuitous instruction of the poor, and for tbe maintenance of a clerical staff at head-quarters, adequate to the vast correspondence inseparable from such a work ::lS has been initiated by the Hospitaller Order. It has long been ::lpparent to the Central Committee that the labours which have devoh'ed upon tbe Director of Stores, and the Chief 'ecretary, are heavier than they can be expected to perform much longer unassisted, howeyer great their dC:\votion and untiring their energies. In fact, \Yere it not for the special knowledge of the former, ~a:r. John Fm'ley, and the method and clearness of the latter, Captain Perrott, the strain and pressure would at times have led to an inevitable suspension of part of the work. The failure to lend the necessary pecuniary aid has been by no means general in the centres; some have risen far above the average of support which is necessary; but there are a few which have been a source of considerable expense, instead of revenue, to that central body on which the administration, expendjture, and supervision fall so heavily. There are many things to be urged in palliation of the circumstances just stated. In the wave of commercial and agTicultural depression which has recelltly passc(1 over England, the claims of many valuable and long

Bst9.blished institutions have suffered temporary submersion, and any work of a novel description, however strong may be its appeal, has found great difficlllty in obtaining other than moral and personal support. In the first year, also, of an Ambulance Centre's existence there are many expenses of a local nature, which will not recur. The one item of Ambulance ?ncdriTiel for instructional purposes alone, an item which will not be repeated in subsequent years, except in very djmjnished proportions, has drained resources which would otherwise have aided the central fund and will doubtless do so in future. It has been fortunate that dUTing this early time of organization, this period when the resources of the centres were called upon to furnish the local paTapheTnalic" for the work, there have been found generous members of the Order of ,'to John to aid in the expenses of its revived work, and other members to give the time, energy, and labour, without which even money woulJ. fail to ensure success. It ,requires much care and tact to obtain the necessary sUlJport from the centres, without breaking the slight thread of connection which unites them to the central body ,vhich asks for it. The best and most permanent way of succeeding in the matter seems to be by increasing the number of annual subscribers to the Association itself; a fixed income will thus 1e ensuretl, ancl the ~entral Committee will be able without fear to launch into that expenditure among the poor, which is so necessary and so eagerly desired. It is in the power of members of the Order to do much in this direction, and the Central Ambulance Committee appeals to them confidently for co-operation. The voice, " 'hich has sl)oken so clearly from St. John's Gate, must not be allowed even to get faint i-far less must it be permitted to pass away into silence. In enumerating the classes which haye met for instruction in the simple but useful art of rendering first aid in cases of emer· gency, those will first be taken which are in the earlier stage of development, and which have not passed under the machinery of a centre; with a few exceptions, to be mentioned hereafter, they have met in the suburbs of London, and the instructors have been members of the staff of the London hospitals. The interest of the students has been always strongly manifested, and the per-centage of successful pupils among those who presented themselves for examination has beell high, but the number of certificates awarded bears no proportion to the number of pupils who bave been under instrucr

tion. 11any circumstances, such as absence, nerYOUSne8S, inability to attend all the lectures, combined to reduce the number of candidates, but many who have not obtained certificates, and who did not even compete for them, have carried away an amount of new and useful knowledge which will stand them in good . tead shoulll emergency arise. In almost every case the pupils who have obtained certificates in the elementary course haye expressed their intention of going through the more advanced course next session. The word advanced does not imply any intrusion into the prOyillCe of the surgeon or physician, but merely a higher knowledge of those dietetic and sanitary laws, and those rules for nursing, familiarity with which on the part of the laity will facilitate the labours of the doctor, and not make his services less absolutely necessary. The first of these detached classes opened at 'utton, in Surrey, :Miss Turner acting as Secretary and proving indefatigable. The instructor was 1\1r. . Benton, F.R. . ., and the Director attended at the opening of the class and the ilistrilmtion of certificates. Of those pupils who presented themselYe, t"enty-fi ,"e succeeded in obtaining certificates. Although ,Vimbledon has now developed into a centre, it is right to state that the Ambulance work commenced ·"ith a series of ladies' classes, both elementary and advanced, and that out of a total of 92 pupils in the former, and 55 in the laUer, G3 and 14 respectively obtained certificates before 't. John's Day. 1\11'. ,Valter rye, F.R.C .. , of St. 1\fary's H ospital, and 1\1r. George Cowell, F.R.C. '., of W estminster Hospital, respecti,'ely acted a.s lecturer and examiner. Wimbledon affords an excellent instance of the tentative method of commencing the work in a district; the sympathy of the inhabitants having been first obtaineu, the machinery of a centre soon followed, and there haye aheady been classes for the general male public and for the police. The next detached class was formed at Epsom, and the gratitude of the Central Committee, and of the pupils, is due to Mrs. Giberne for the facilities she afforded. The class was well attended, but only a few of the pupils presented themselves for examination, and of these there were eight who succeeded in obtaining certificates. Arrangements are in progress, thanks to a distinguished medical Honorary Associate of the Order, for extending the instruction to a large educational establishment near Epsom.

A very interesting anu numerously atLended class ,vas next opened at 1\1iltoll 1\10ullt College, near Gravesend, by request of the governing body and the principal, Miss HacUand. The pupils are the daughters of Nonconformist clergymen, and are in many cases intended to become governesses and school-mistresses in c1iffere 1t parts of the Empire. They will thus lJe most useful, as centre. from which the useflll knowledge acquired hy them may radiate. The instructor was Dr. Coleman, of "\Voolwicb, formerly in the TIoyal Artillery; the examiner was Mr. James Cantlie, F.TI. 1•• '., of Charing Cross Ho pital; 54 l)upils were successful at the examination, and the Director was present at the distribution of certificates. An attentive class ,yas formed at Shortlands, 11iss Belgraye acting as 'ecretary, and )-1r. H. Crookshank, 1\1.R.C.S., who had become familiar with Am lJulance work in war, as well as in peace, gi\"illg the instruction. Of the small nnmber who presented thelllseh"es for examination, eight obtained certificate. , which \"IeI' pre entec1 hy the Diredor. T,yo ladies' cl~ses were formed at Esher, 1\fiss C. Gertrude Corrie acting as secretary, and ill r. J. H. Casson, 1\1.TI.C.S., one of the most experienced lecturers on the staff of the Ambulance Department, acLing as instructor. Of the few who presented themselves to the examiner, 14: obtained certificates, which were presented in the E ~her Nabonal chools by the Director. A well-attended cla.ss met at \~Teybridge, in the house of 1\11'-' . Lewis, whose kind assistance cannot be too highly ackno\"llec.1ged, and eluring whose temporary absence the duties of secretary were ably performed by :;\1iss de 1Iichele. 1\1r. Pye was lectluer, and although an interval occurred bet·ween the course of lectures and the examination, a fair propOTtion of candidates presented themselves at the latter, and the Director had the pleasure of presenting certificates to 10 successful pupils. A very successful class was formed at Sli. Leonard's, 1\1iss Hall acting as secretary and proving indefatigable. There were 40 pupils, and of those who arpeared before the examiner no fewer than 27 obtained certificates, which ·were presented at a pulJlic meeting by the Director. 1\11'.

At Hanworth Park, throngh the hospitality of ~Irs. Lafone, u large ladies' class was formed, instructed by 1\11'. Pre. 'ixteen pu pils obtained certificates, which were presented by the Director. Here, as elsewhere, arrangements are being llln.de for an advanced class next winter.

A large ladies' class was opened by 1\Iiss Trench at I . i verpool. and was taught by a local lecturer, 1\Ir. Rushton l)arker. ::Ur. Crookshank was sent down as examiner and 22 pupils obtained certificates. It is intended to form u centre there next winter. A class was formed at Highgute, in the Literary <11H1 Scicntitlc Institution, by 1\1:1'. R. Harcourt Chambers, and was taught by 1\1r. Benton. 1\1r. Cowell exmnined it, und 18 pupils were successful; the certificates have not yet been distributed. Fresh classes are to commence in Octo bel'. A well-attended and most enthusiastic cbss, about 4:0 in number, met in the house of 1\il's.

A ladies' class, taught by 1\11'. Crookshank, met in the honse of Mrs. Gladstone, at Bexley, Miss Gladstone acting as 'ecretary. The certificates, 12 in number, were presented after the examination by the Director. Through the energy of Mrs. Goodenough, a large ladies' class was formed in Hampton Court Palace, which was taught by Mr. Crookshank and examined by Mr. Benton. The certificates, 18 in number, were presented by the Director, after the course was completed, the lecturer, Mr. Crookshank, being present.

A cluss was formed at Dorking, tlll'ough the exertions of :Miss A. Benecke, und has been under the instruction of 1\11'. Crookshank. TllC examination had not taken place at the date of this Report. A class was opened at North Finchley, :i\Iiss El wes acting as ~ 'cCl'etary, und ::\11'. A. T. Norton, F.R.C.S., of 't.1\1ary's Hospital, as lecturer. 'rhe examination resulted in 13 pupils obtaining certificn.tes, which will be distributed by the Director in ~eptember. A large bdies' class was opened in the Soldiers' Institute, Portsmouth, on the 14th l\1:ay, by the Director. Surgeon-~1ajor Dick gave the first three lectures, but the exigencies of the service requirinrr his remoyul to Ihatbam, the course was completed by fr. rook hank. },Iuch inconvenience was caused to the ladies by the removal o[ Dr. Dick, und u smaller number pre. ented themselves [or exumination than would otherwise have been the case. Ucrtificutes were awarded to 15 pupi18 after an flxaminution by 1\1r. ~antlic. The duties of ~ecretary "ere ably performed by ~\1i8S Yan Olllmer. .Another detached bdies' class was formed at Conway, l\Iiss Darui hire acting as ~ ecretary, 1\11'. Dal'uishire lectured, and II'. Pye examined. The number of successful pupil.' was ±. In pussing now to the work done in centres which have the prescribed locul organization, the Central Committee begs to call the attention of the readers of this Report to the statistics connected with them, which are given at the end of these pages (viele Appendix). They are by no means exhaustive and they give but u faint idea of the number of pupils taught. The metropolitun centre is not included, and yet by a return which has been furnished it appears that no fewer than 1580 women alone have attended a complete course of instruction in London. The number of male pupils, including some hundreds of the 1\letropolitan Police, volunteers, army schoolmasters, &c., will be equal, if not superior to the women's, and the work is only beginm'ng in London. Under a new system of subdivision into districts, the work "Till be greatly developed. Already the City Police and the Fire Brigades, as ,yell as the e??~ployes of the Board of Trade, have been reached, and the energetic Chuirman of the sub-district, which includes the l)ort of London, John Furley, Esq., does not mean to rest satisfied until the useful knowledge is still further extendecl among a sea-faring population, where it is sorely needed.

The public bodies, such as the army and navy, the volunteers, the police, the firemen, the employes in the various dockyards, railways, &c.~ offer a field for the work which will not be neglected . The organizatlOn and discipline already in existence facilitate the formation and instruction of classes among snch bodies, but it is only just to say that there is no need to coerce the pupils, whose eagerness to learn has been most marked. The sympathy of all classes i invited to aid in the instruction of men whose skill may be displayed at Ciny moment, and for the general public. Already the results have proved eminently satisfactory, boLh in the metropolis and in the provinces, and the day will doubtle. s come when a constable or a fireman will be as skilled in the firt tr~atment of injured persons as in the rudiments of discipline or drill. In the meantime, all honour is due to the police allthoritie. at Scotland Yard, in the City, and ill such counties as K ellt, cvon, Worcestershire, York, Stafford, Shropshire, Surrey, ~ ussex, and Durham, who have moved in the van of a movement which ,,,ill soon be commonplace. But although it is true that there are special reasons wby Lhe servants of the public should be instructed, the rea.diness of the public itself to learn should not be undervalued. III such cooperation lies a mine of sympathy and support, which in due t.ime will. furnish ~eans of teaching the poor in tim~ of peaco, and helpmg the wounded in time of war. It Cc'1nnot be too "\'annly C'ncouraged. The power of even one pupil, as a centre from ,,,hich this knowledge may radiate, cannot be overrated. And the same power m l,y be used to provoke in others a thirst for the same knowledge. It has been almost startling to the promoters to find the zeal of all classes and both sexes, which surmounted all obstacles until the end was obtained. This was notably the case in such centres as Blackheath, where the zeal found a ready and able instrument in the Honorary Secretary, Mr. C. D. Davies. In the coming session it is hoped that these classes will ~)e ~ultiplied.. The moral effect of men and women of all grades Inspued b'y thlS noble purpose of increasing their helpfnlness, has already been very great. Although the work is neither sectarian n~r political, it has in the event proved to be the latter in the hIghest sense, for it has created an army of skilled men aw] women to perform the highest political function in the primary ~ense of the term-the function of helpful, loving, find unselfish

<citizenship. The sympathies called forth by the contemplation of Buffering will now, among the pupils of the Ambulance Association l1ave a genuineness, a vigour, and a value, unknown in the days ·w hen the ready. igh or the falling tear was all that they could offer as their trihute to pain. In a Report such as this, one would fain enumerate tl~ose who haye done special service to the work during the past year. But their name is Legion, and as this report is in the first instance merely for circulation among the members of the Order of ~t. John, the irector coufines himself to mentioning the names of those belonging to tl1at Order ·w ho haye rendered personal service. Sir Edmund Lechmere, in London and Worcestershire; 1\11'. Furley, in Y ellt, ,'urrey, 'ussex, and London; ~1:r. Maclean, in Blackheath; Capta.in }'1a.let, in Devonshire; have all done the work of tnle kllighLs, nor 11a ve they confined their labonrs merely Lo the districts named. I n the metropolis ~Ir. and ~1rs. A. Harford Pearson have (jontinued the work which in their hands assumed such giant proportions. Lord Templetown was always ready, at personal inconvenience not unfrequently, to help in planting this last child of the "\Vhite Cross inliew districts, or in handing to successful pupils their well-earned certificates. In general administration, Sir JolIn t. George, 'olonel Gould Weston, Sir Charles Daubeney, ~Ir. V. Darrington-Kennett, Dr. Shrimpton, and very notably Dr. Sieveking, ,yere always really to help, and the Chief ~ ecretary, Captain Perrott, showed a devotion and conscientious energy worthy of the true knight, and of the father whose heart has been so many years full of the grmving work of the Order. The facts, on which the Contral Committee h as to congratulate itself, are so many, and cro,yd so pertinacions]y on their attention in this retrospect of a marvellous year, that the matter of selectioll is difficult. But above all stands this great fact, that to the pupils of the Ambulance Association is it due that much pain has been minimized, and that not a few lives that would have been lost have been saved. ViTith the chivalry of their profession , this has always been readily and gratefully acknowledged by the surgeons before whom the cases ultimately came. Next stands also the undoubted fact that with the more general know ledge of the mechanism of the human body, which has come from this instruction, has come a greater sympathy with those who have suffered injury, and a greater Teverence for pain.

1..J:

1.3

Nor can this Report be considered complete, ,ycre it not stated that as a. fresh instance of the sympathy with the suffering a.h,'a.ys manifested by the Royal Family, and as a seal al 0 to the success of the work, two of its member.~, H.R.H. The Dukc of Eclinburcrh and b H.R.H. rrince Leopold, ha.ve accepted the presic1ency respecLively of the Ashford a.nd Oxford centres. The work during the approaching winter Lids fair to Lc even heavier than during the last. The aid of all the members of the Order is earnestly demanded and anxiously hoped for. It is desirecl also that the general public, whose possible sufierings it is meant to relieve, will extend their sympathy, their pracLical as. i. Lance their charita.ble co-operation, to the handful of busy men, who iI: the hours of their leisure try to preach from the olll ga Le of .~ t. John the beautiful lesson of healing the sick and of helping those that are ready to fall. As a work of brotherhooc1, as an earnest and most appea.ling duty, as a means of ending much pain and misery, a' a. possible method 01 saving valuable and cherished lives, the 'cutml COlllmittee of the St. John Ambulance Association commends to all this simple system of imparting instruction in the fir. t treatment of injured persons.

J\1anual of Instruction, published by the Association. But in adtlition to these, some idea of the work done in spreading mechanical means for instructing pupils and also reducing pain, may be formed from the following statement made by Mr. Furley, whose labours in this department haye been unceasing. Few, indeed, know their magnitude. cc • 'ince the last Hel)ort, in February, 1[;79, was published, the Director of .1tores has issued the following articles:

"The Director of 1Lores has lately introduced a small Ambulance hamper fitted ,yith splints, Landages, lint, plaister, and such other thing as the classes are instructed to use in case of accident .; thi · hamper has met with the approyal of many members of the medical profession, both ciyil and military, and it has already been [ounel useful on severa.! occa.sions. During the past year the BearlljoTt stretcher has been the only pa.Hern u ed l)y the Association; but the Director of Stores is now engagell in perfecting another model, which he hopes will combine equal adyantages with greater strength. \~Thether or not he . ucceeds in this enc.leayour, the debt of gratitude due to the Count de Beaufort ( ecretaire GenerJl de la.

It ma.y be. mentioned that much mcdeTiel was sent to the Cape during the war, lJOW practically OY81\ for the use of the troops. From Isandlana down to the sailing of the last reinforcements from Plymouth) the supply from the Director of Stores continued; and it rests with the public whether this department of the work may not be pla.cecl on such a footing as to put an end to the spasmodic action so familiar in our charities when our soldiers find themselves at war.
