He took great interest in the Order's philanthropic work, especially in connection with the Almoner's Department, and for many years was a regular attendant at the Council and Chapter meetings. He was also

President of the Birmingham Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association, and was always ready to support its extension and development.

The following are the awards granted during the year for acts of gallantry in saving, or atte:r npting to save, life on land, and were presented to the recipients at Marlborough House on Wednesday, 5th July, 1905, by H.R.H. the Prince of "Vales, K.G., Grand Prior, the members of the Chapter being in attendance :ALBERT V. HARDWICK (Cle?'k). Silve?' ~Medal Awarded. For great bravery and presence of mind displayed at Finsbury Park Station on 21st December, 1904. During a dense fog a lady got on to the line, and 1\11'. Hardwick, without the slightest hesitation, jumped from the platform as a train was approaching a few yards away. "JIr. Hardwick had to lift the lady off the metals and push her underneath the platform, get under as best he could himself, and hold the lady in order that the suction from the pas ing train should not draw her underneath the wheels. The Albert Medal (Fir t Class), has been presented to Mr. Hard wick by Hi l\1ajesty the J ing. ,VALTER BE TWICK ( Mi'lleT ). BTolue llIeclal A~()ci'l'cled. For courageous conduct displayed at Pm'kgate Pit, Nunnery Colliery, Sheffield, on 14th January, 1904. ,Yhilst a man named Ackwood was employed getting coal a large quantity of soft bind" ran the timber uPIorts out and covered him up, and had it not been for Bestwick's prollli tne s and presence of mind Ackwood would have been suffocated by tI, fall of stone which occurred soon afterwards. HERBERT VVILLIAM BOWEN (T'I'oope'l" , St~ sex 1'InpeTial Bl'onze ldeclCil hUCirclecl. For distino'uished Ye01na11TY). conduct displayed at Burgess Hill Railway tation on 9th June, 190-1<, in rescuing Trooper innock fro111 being cut to pieces by a fast approaching train, Binnock havin o' tripped and fallen across the line while endeavouring to huniedly get to the up platform. Trooper Bowen jmuped off the down platform, ran acro s the rails, and dragged innock into safety, the train pa sing so close as to teal' Bowen's tunic and bruise him. THOMAS BAS ETT (LighteJ'ma'lI). B7'O'IIZe ilIedal A wa'l·ded. For gallant conduct displayed at Rotherhithe on the 1 th May, 1905. Three men, named Freal Follett, and Murphy, in the employment of t.he London County Council, had gone down a sewer and were overcome by the foul gas. One of them reached the manhole and cried for help. Bassett, who was

Captain Lambert had been Chairman of the Canterbury Centre since its formation in 1878. Dr. Ogilvie Grant, Mr. B. Brown, Mr. T. Bryers, BrigadeSurgeon E. T. Tomlinson, Dr. E. Atkinson, and Colonel P. Cresswell had all been admitted to the Order in recognition of very conspicuous seryices to the ~mbulance Department. The high standing of Dr. Atkinson in the Medical Profession was of the greatest assi~tance to the important Centre at Leeds, of which he was the Chairman. Colonel Cresswell was the pioneer of ambulance work in a large part of the South ,Vales Collieries and Iron Works and was instrumental in having the handbook of " First Aid to the Injured,..' issued by the St. John Ambulance Association, translated into the Welsh language. The lamented death of Mr. Bedford is a great loss to the Order as, for a period of over a quarter of a century, he ever displayed great ability and enthusiasm both in his capacity formerly as Librarian, latterly as Genealogist, in upholding the great traditions and objects of the Order. His generous gift to the Library of many valuable books and of the History of the Order, which he wrote in collaboration with his successor in the office of Librarian, remain as lasting memorials to his untiring zeal and energy. Lieut.-General Lowry was a prominent member of the OrGel' and had for some time been Chairman of the No. IX. District Centre of the Association, which owed much of its success and development to his unfailing zeal alld energy. The loss of Lady Kennett-Barrington will be deeply felt not only by the Members of the Order, but also by the Alnbulance and N lU'sing Officers and rank and file of the Metropolitan Corps of the Brigade, who will long remember her unselfish and devoted services as First Nursing Officer and Lady Inspector of Stores of the No.9 (Belgravia), Nursing Division, of No. 1. District.

passing the spot, descended the sewer, and was successful in getting two of the men to the surface and went down a second time to endeavour to bring up the third man, Freak; but being himself affected by the fumes, had to be hauled up. Freak's body was eventually found two miles away. NEWCOMBE LESTER MANSELL (Oycle Agent). Ce1,tijicute of HonOUT AwuTdecl. For bravery and presence of mind displayed at Worcester Race-course on 1st July, 1904, At the finish of one of the races, a horse, after throwing its jockey, bolted out of the course into the crowd, killed two men and injured three other persons. Mansell caught the horse's bridle with great difficulty and in so doing was struck by the horse but succeeded in holding the animal until he got assistance. The medals awarded to the following men were presented to them by His Excellency the Viceroy, the Earl of DucUey, G.C.V.O., acting on behalf of H.R.H. the Grand Prior, at Dublin Castle on the 25th August, 1905; the Members and Associates of the Order resident in Dublin being present at the ceremony :J OH COLE:M:AN (LubO'L&1'eT), THOMAS ROCHFORD (EngineeT), KIERNAN FITZPATRICK (Oar D1'iveT), PETER O'HARA (Labo Lwe?'), JOHN RUSH (Gas Inspector), CHARLES MEIR (Engine D,t ive1'), MARTIN LAMBERT (Fire1nCin ), CHRISTOPHER KELLY (Fire1nan), EDWARD BLAKE (FiTe1nan) , JOHN MURPHY (LCiboU1'e1'), JOHN WHELAN (Labourer). B1"OnZe Medals AwuTdecl. For great bravery displayed at Burgh Quay, Dublin, on the Gth 1fay, 1905. A man named Fleming descended a sewer to examine a leakage, and was overcome by foul gas. A fellow workman, John Coleman, observed Fleming fall below, and immediately went to his assistance. Thomas Rochford, Constable Sheehan, and Kiernan Fitzpatrick, concluding something was wrong, each descended in turn without the slightest hesitation to endeavour to rescue Fleming and Coleman, and the remainder of the above mentioned men followed at intervals, notwithstanding the extreme danger and difficulty. After all the men had been hauled to the surface it was found that John Fleming and Constable Sheehan were dead, and all the other men suffering greatly from the effects of their gallant efforts, the foul and vitiated atmosphere necessitating immediate medical treatment.

The Service Medal awarded for conspicuous services to the Order and its Departments, was presented to the following by H.R.H. the Grand Prior at Marlborough House on Wednesday, 5th July, 1905:1ST OFFICER ALFRED B. MOORE, Bath City Division, St. John Aw bulance Brigade. 1ST OFFICER HENRY FRANCIS, \Vellingborough Corps, St. John Ambubnce Brigade. CrrIEF SUPERI~TENDE~T THOMA, H. HILTON, \Vellingborough Corps, t.

John Ambulance Brio-ade had also been awarded the medal, but were b ' . . unavoidably prevented hnving the honour of bemg In attendance to receive it at the hands of His Royal Highness. The special vellum vote of thanks conferred on its recipients a'3 an acknowledo'ment of their conspicuous service to the b Alubulance Department ha been awarded to :Mr. A. G. mith (Readin cr Centre). Mrs. Anne Cave (Heavy ,Voollen District Centre). Mr. vVilliam Midgley (Heavy \Voollen District Centre). Dr. Thomas Moore Dawson (Liverpool Centre). Sir Frederick Lely, K.C.1.E., o.S.1., (In.te Chief Commissioner Central I rovinces).

14 Sir James Digges La Touche, K.C.S.I., (Lieut.-Governor of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh). Mr. Thomas Rees Price, C.M.G., (Orange River Colony). The report of the Order's British Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem will be found in Part II., as well as a Statement of Account of the funds of that Institution. Several ladies of the Order have very generously and kindly forwarded garments for the male and female inmates of the Hospital and these are gratefully l1,ppreciated by both the Chainnan and Committee as well a~ by Dr. and Mrs. Cant, n,s they are most useful and greatly needed for the patients. It is hoped that a supply may be relied upon each year, as the good work being done at the Hospital would thus be very materially assisted. In Part III. will be found the reports of the Ambulance Department. One of the principal events of interest has been the annual Railway Competition held at the P ortman Rooms on the 12th l\fay,. 1905, when Viscountess Knutsford kindly presented the SlIver Challenge Shield, and other prizes, given by the Order. The winners of the Challenge Shield were the Alexandra (New~ort and South Wales) Docks and Railway Co. The ?ewar ShIeld was won by the Newport (l\1:on.) Division of the Bngade, and the Symons-Eccles Cup by the N ewcastleunder-I.yme Division. These Competitions are held annually, when all Members and Associates are i~vited to attend and by their presence to encou:age and ~tl:nulate the spread of a practical knowledge of first ald. to the lllJu:'ed among the e1nploye8 of the great railway co~panles of. the lungdom-a knowledge which at any time is useful, b~t stIll more so in employment such as railwaymen are engaged 111 , both as regards themselves and the multitudes who travel by rail. Another point of interest is the new regulations issued by the Ambul~nce Department as regards qualification for vouchers, me~alh.on:s, and labels-the la,st-named being an innovation WhlCh, It IS hoped, may meet with unqualioed success.

As rega,rds the Briga,de, its continued progress and development, both at hOllle and abroad, will be noted with satisfaction. Recruiting for the Auxilia,ry Royal aval Sick Berth Reserve is satisfa,ctory, as also tha,t for the Brigade Bearer Companies. There will also be found a, most interesting report from the Commissioner for pecial Services on his recent tour in Canada, the gratifying result of which is the revival of interest in, and the pra,cticnl support of, work in the Dominion, where there should be Ilenty of scope {or its development. His laj est}' the King has been oTaciously pleased to issue new in tructions a to the ,,~earing a,nd precedence of the insignia and meda.l of the Order, ,yhich will be worn in future in accordance with the memorandum, dated 21st March, 1905, which was issued to a,lllIembers and Associates with last year's t. John's Da,y notices. It was mentioned in last year's Report that the internal restora,tion of the ha,pel on the South ide of the nave of the Crypt of St. John' 11urch was now complete. During 1905 a tablet has been place 1 on the East wall tating tha,t-(( Holy Communion was celebrated in thi lhapel of t.

From the Almoner's Department of the Order of St. John the Sick and Oonvalescent poor have received, as usual, nourishing Diets, when recommended by the Doctor, the Rector, or the ~ urse.

those existing societies which are concerned in the succour of the sick and wounded.

Among the interesting literary productions of the year has been the new book of reminiscences by Sir John Furley, Honorary Bailiff of the Order, entitled « In Peace and W 3.1'." The name of Sir John Furley has been so closely connected with so many humanitarian movements that anything from his pen is sure to be worth perusal; but this volurne is especially interesting to Members of the Order as being a narrative of the circumstances which gave rise to the origin and progress of the St. John Ambulance Association and of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and of the various Red Cross movements with which the Order has for so many years past been more or less identified, especially in the early efforts for the organisation of the relief of the suffering in war which led to the Convention of Geneva, the provisions of which have during the last half century been adopted by all the civilised nations of the world. In this connection reference should be made to the formation of a new Red Cross Society, the Council of which has been appointed, with the sanction of His Majesty the King, under the presidency of Her Majesty the Queen, with Lord. Rothschild as Chairman, and Lord Knutsford, late director of the Alnbulance Department, and Lord Cheylesmore, Registrar of the Order, amongst the Vice-Chairmen. It is hoped that by means of this organisation means will be found to co-ordinate all

The continued activity of the work of the Order and its several departments will be a source of gratification to all the Members and Associates, and it is humbly and respectfully hoped will be not less satisfactory to His Royal Highness the GRA D PRIOR and to His Majesty the King, the SOVEREIGN HEAD AND PATRON, to whose exalted support and influence so much of the success of the modern progress of the Order has been undoubtedly due.

H E om mittee of Iana.gement of the British Ophthalmic H ospital have pleasure in presenting to the :JIelllbers and Associates of the Order, and to their 811b 'C!'ibers generally, their 18th Annual Report. It has been found conyenient to make a change in the date of issuing th e ReI ort, 'which on this occasion is for fifteen months, viz. from 1st October 1904, to 31 t December, 1905. In future the Report will cover a period of twelve months commencing with the ] st of Janua.r)' in each year. A it is not found possible to publish the Report earlier thnn in :JIarch, the efiect of this altern,tion will be to brinO' the more recent work of the Hospitn,l under the notice of the u OS crib l' , but the financial year has been left unaltered, a it Hill 't coincitle 'with thn,t of the Receiver-G eneral's Department. Dr. Cant wrj t s tha.t " The sta,tistic . of the work of the Hospital continue to pre ent high figur s. The n1111100r of ill-pn,tient admitted, though omcwhat Ie. tban during the previous year, reaches over 1,000 during tho fift en month.' the present Report includes. Forty- two beds have b n in usc, und though the pressure of applica.nts ha.' be 11 1 .f;, they hn\'e all been occupied at the mo,'t busy time." " ,Vi th respect to t,be out-patienL', ther) ha been a udden and very large increa. e in the aLt ndnnco , e pecially during the Ophtha.lmic season from J ul), Lo Decem bel', chi efly from townspeople, and especially the J ew'. During foul' con 'ecu tive months th e attendance numb ~r dover 17,000- \,ery ncarly .5,000 in November. The numbers have commonly n,pproached and occaSIonally xceeded 300 on certain days of the week. As

the waiting-room with an additiona.l R,nnexe will not hold more than 160 crowded together, I ha.ve on snch days bogun work in the Out-patient Department at 7 a..m.-a.n hour earlier thrtn was the custom-in order to alleviate a little the overcrowdino-. The total number of attendances during the past fifteen months hR, been over 40,000, and the num uer of new cases entered on tho books exceeds 10,000. All the nUll) bel's and details are carefully kept." The falling-oft' in the number of in-p[ttients is attributable during the earlier month. to the persistently cold weather, together with frequent rain, fro ts, and snow, which prevented the country-people coming in frollJ [tny distance. L[tter on, in l\fay, the Turkish Government dr[tined the villages of eyory [tvailable man to send into Arabirt for the war, [tnd tho harvest had to be done by the residue of the popubtion. It is significant that the large incre[tse of out-patients is due mainly to the attendance of Jews. \Yriting in October, Dr. [tnt says: " I may mention that a short time a.go I was waited on uy a deputation of Jews who wanted me to give attendance at a.n Eyo Dispensary they wished to open at the other end of tho town." This is a gratifying testimony to the repnt[ttion ana skill of our Surgeon, though of course he was um1.ble to comply with the request. In reply to a question as to whether he could give the actual number of Jews attending for relief, Dr. Cant replied that " the books would show the exact proportion of the entries, UU t this would not give a correct estimate of the advantages the J e",'s receive proportionately, for whereas the nativo popubtion (Arab or Syrian) will attend only twice as an R,verage, the Jews are v ry assiduous in their attendance. But the estimate I should form of the proportion of the Jews to the total attendance, would be about three-quarters of the whole, taking the year round, bnt higher in the months July to N overn ber." An exchange of residences has been effected during the year between Drs. Cant and Butler, necessitating alterations in the Assistant-Surgeon's house at a cost of £153 (for £65 of this tho Committee are indebted to the generosity of one of their numuer, Mr. J . Martineau ), Dr. Cant being once more installed in the house attachecl to the Hospital in order that Mrs. Ca.nt may

exercise more complete control of the domestic arrangements. A sum of £26 found partly out of revenue and partly out of special donations given to Dr. Cant, has been spent on building a wall along the road frontage, whereby the Hospital property has been greatly improved. Your Committee are glad to report that the work of the Hospital continue' to be carried on with strict economy without sacrificing tha.t efticiency for which its name stands so high, and their best thank' a.re due to 'Mrs. Cant for her untiring energy ungrudgingly expended in the promotion of it best interests. The increa ed ntunber of out patients (\\-hich i' the dominant note of this Report) has necessitated increa ed work and responsibility on the part of Drs. Cant anel Butler, and your Conlmittee would express theu: hearty appreciation of the devotion of the e gentlemen to their arduous duties. The late L[tdy Lechmere left legacies to the Hospital amounting to the handsome nett total of £1773 lIs. 2c1., whichh[tve been duly placeel to the credit of the Endowment Fund, and the Committee are taking steps to perpetuate her memory by the erection in the Hospital of a suitable memorial ta.blet. It is hoped that [t meeting of subscribers may be held during the present season [tt a conveniont time to be fixecllat.er, in order to call public attention to the necessity of further financial support for the Hospital which is doing such gl'e[ttly needed work among the Jews and natives of "'yria.

HE DIHECTOR A TD CIIAU'nl.AN' ArTD THE CEXTRA.L EXECUTIVE OOMMITTEE have the honour to submit to His Royal Highness the Prince of vVales and the hapter-Generalof the Order of the Hospital of St. John of J erusalelll in England the following report of a satisfactory se 'sion of increased development and progress. They desire e pecially to call attention to the gratifying reports receiyed from the Chief Commissioner of the St. John AInblllance Brigade, from the Commissioner for Special ervice , and frOlll the Honorary Organizing Commissioner for India. The visit of His Royal Highne the President of the .A ssociation to the Indian Empire of Hi 1\Iaj esty, the Patron of the St. John Ambulance As ociation, cannot fail to develop still further the interest taken in the ambulance moyement by not only the British comlllunity but equally by the maj ority of the native Princes and their subjects. It is a matter for puulic congratulation that the difficultie connected with the establi lllnent on a practical basis of a London Ambulance 'ervice appear about to be OTercome, and the greatest 'Metropolis of the world '\Yill no longer have to bear the reproach that it.s inhabitants, in spite of an enormous municipal expenditure in other anel perhaps Ie s important directions, have so long had to submit to a condition of things entailing much hlllnan suffering, un,Yorthy of the controning body of a small provincial town. The 1\Ietropolitan Police returns for the year 1903 give the total number of street accidents in its area alone as 10,356, of which 154 were fatal. In the City last year there were 1 17 treet accidents. These cases may be considered fortunate becansc the ufferers fell into· the hands of Police Officers who have received instruction in first aid, but when it is remembered that in n.ddition a large

number of patients are taken by well-meaning but untrained persons dil'ect to hospital or to their own homes in that effective instrument of torture to a person with a fractured bone-a fourwheeled cab-the agony endured for want of a system of suitable vehicles with skilled attendants can better be imagined than described. The good example set by some provincial towns in this connection has been referred to periodically in previous reports, and it affords the COJnmittee satisfaction to again publish an extract hom the report on the Police establishment of the City of Liverpool, where for years past an efficient system of horse ambulances has been in active operation, the institution of which was mainly due to the initiative and supervision of two of the members of the present Central Executive Committee. The Head Constable states: " SERVICES RENDERED TO THE PUBLIC. " AMBULANCE WORK.-There are fully equipped Police Horse ,: Ambulances stationed as follows :-Royal Infirmary (day), Royal "Southern Hospital (day), David Lewis Northern Hospital (day), :: Stanley Hosp~tal (da~ and night) C~ntral Fire Station (night), Old Swan Pollce StatIOn (day and nIght), and Lark Lane Police " Station (day and night).

This is a reLurn of which any City may be proud, and it is equally satisfactory that other towns in Lancashire, the .gr~at stronghold of ambulance work, and other of the pro:lllcI.al capitals in the Midlands and the "Vest are ~ot far behmd ill the race. It is the rule rather than the exceptIOn thaL the great majority, and in not a few cases all, of. the members of a Constabulary or Police Force hold the certIficates, and ?~ten as wcll the medallions, of the Association. Owing to reC)~Ulting for the Royal Irish Constabulary being again open, new members of this admirable Force are receiving instruction at the rate of forty per month. . ' . In the Railway world, ambulance instructIOn, especllllly Sillce the establishment of the Association cc Railway entres," has increased by leaps and bounds. It has b en state.d that every tW? days three railway e?nployes are killed in the dIscharge of theIr duties, and that during the last ten years the Bon.r~ of Tra~e returns prove that 5,000 rn.ilwn.y men hn.ve been 1~lll~d whIle 100,000 hn.ve been injured. A knowledge of first aId IS therefore as indispensn.ble to the railwayman, in order that he may Le able to succour his injured comrn.de, as it is equn.lly usefully available for the benefit of the trn.velling public ,,,hen one of those unfortunn.te "smashes" occur which appeal' sometimes unavoidable in spite of ingenious appliances ani of the unceasing careful wn.tch kept by the railway emp.loye o,er the safety of the passenger's life n.nd limb. As n.n Ulstance of the beneficent work done by railway servn.nts, it was stat~d by Lord Cawdor at a recent Ineeting that in one yen.r fir.t aId was rendered in 2000 cn.ses at the Gren.t We tern wmdon , works alone. One of the most vn.luable cn.ses of the y n.r where life was undoubtedly saved, n.s reported by a medical IDn.n, was performed by a porter of this Company, at DUI'ston tn.tion, who first jumped into a canal n.nd re cued a drowning child, and then proceeded to restore it to consciousness by resorting to a,rtificial respiration on the method which he had learned at n. Langport class. During the winter the prelimjnary and group competitions for the silver Railwn.y Chn.llenge Shi ld presented by the Order of St. John were held n.11 over the country, the finn.l hen.ts taking pln.cc as usual in May at the Portman Rooms. Dr. J. Cassidi, of Derby, acted n.s judge, n.nd the results were n.s follow:-

1. The Alexandra Dock and Railway Company, Newport,

l\lonmouth, vVinners of the Shield, with 241~ marks. 2. South Eastern and Chatham Railway, 228~ marks. 3. Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, 225! marks. 4. North Eastern Railway, 221 marks. 5. Great \Vestern Railway, 220 marks. 6. Cheshire Lines Committee Railway, 194~ marks. The Brigade Competitions for the Dewar Shield and the Symon Eccles Cup were concluded on the same day, the officiating judges being Surgeon-Major F. W. Gibbon and Dr. J. M. Carvell, who awarded the Shield to the Newport, l\lonmouth, Divi ion, and the Cup to the Kewcastle-under-Lyme Division, the next units in order of merit being the Causton Division (Metropolitan Corps), the Newton Abbot Division, the Kendal Division, and the Headquarters Division of the Northampton Corps. The Committee is indebted to Viscountess Knutsfol'd , who was accompanied by Viscount Knutsford, for kindly presenting the Shields and prizes, a new feature being the presentation, made retrospective, of conlmemorative brass t~blets to the winning railway teams in former years, the Great Eastern Railwa~ ~arrying away foul' of these amidst great applause. Tbe competltlOns for the similar silver challenge shields presented by the Order to the Railway Companies of India and to the Indian Volunteers are detailed in the reporLs of the Indian Centre.

Other nlembers of the industrial population to ,,,hOlU ambulance w~rk ~s of as vital importance as to railway men are ~hose, numbenn~ In 1~04 no less than 877,057 persons, employed In and a?out mmes In the United Kingdom, besides 97,577 engaged In qu~rries. Amongst these there were in that year 1,!58 fatal a~Cldents causing the loss of 1,202 lives. Compared wIth the prevlOus year this shows an increase in the number of fatal accIdents of seven, and in the number of lives lost of ten. Conse~uent on t~e great importance of this subject the most valuable co-operatlOn has been given to the Association for many years past by the Inspectors of Mines, who have frequently called the

•

attention of the Home Office to the necessity of ambulance instruction in colliery and mininer Districts. A special comm1.mication with this object was recen~ly addressed by Mr. J. ~. Martin, H.l\l. Inspector of Minesfor Monmouthshire, Glouc~stershHe, and.Solll: r setshire, to the colliery owners and managers In those count~es wI~h a view to extending the knowledge of first aid am.ongst mIners 111 the district, his suggestion being that classes should be for~ed and oro·tLnised in the same manner as boating, cricket and .footh . ball clubs, and with a view to introducing emulation, competltlOn should be arranged in the future between the classes in the sallle way as has recently been done ill the north of: England where, thank to the institution of the Durham l\Imers Ambulance League, a. great impetus has been ?iven to th~ format~on of the ambulance classes amongst the co111ers and nlmers. teps have already been taken for the establishment of a similar body in South ,Vales. The necessity for this was very pointedly shown in Lhe debate which took phLCe in Lhe last Parliament at the end of last ses. ion, at the instance of the l\Iember for the Forest of Dean , on the dangers incurred by workers in various trades a.nd occupations, and the remedial and preventitiye measur~s WhICh were , or olwht to be ' on a t)OTeater scale adopted for then benefit. 5 It was pointed out by the Home ecretary, in reference to the unfortunate disaster at ,Vatts Town, that though geneml rules were ,veIl observed in the collieries, the Inspector of Mine complained there was an indisposition on the part of the men in the district to attend the lectures of the St. John Ambulance Association. The Central Executive Committee is therefore only too anxious that this state of apathy in certain parts of the country should be removed, n,nd will gladly afford any co-oper<ltion with this object.

" In a paper on Voluntary Civil Ambulance 'W agon Service for Cities " by Lt.-Oolonel H. J. Barne , R.A.M,C" the 'Vl'iter said, 'It is noticeable " 'that in all the communieation the writers, though they differ on many " 'points, are agreed on assuming that such an Ambulance 'ervice, horse " 'or motor, must of necessity be placed in the hands of the Fil'e " 'Brigade, Police, or other civil authorities.' Colonel Barnes then said " 'There is a third alternative which has not received the consideration " 'it deserves-that of an Ambulance ,Va,gon ervice, provided and " 'maintained by voluntary effort on the part of the community, such " 'as exists in Glasgow and other pal'ts of 8cotland.' In the discus ion "which followed, I said, it would be remembered that at the first "meeting of the Navy, Army and Ambulance 'ection, held at the "Annual Ieeting of the Briti h lIedical Association at Ipswich in " eptember, 1900, I read a paper on Invalid Transport of the I ick and " Injured in Cities and Large Town" and since that time the question "had con iderably advanced, and it would appear from all the di " cu sions that had taken place that, as far as the voluntary ,'y tern and " the public system under the ~Iunicipalities were concerne I, it mu,·t " be left for each town and city to adopt uch system a would best suit " their needs and requirements. In Liverpool the public system under "the lIunicipal authority, instituted by Capt. ott-Bower, the late " Chief Constable of the Oity, and now the Chief of the Metropolitan "Police, had answered well, and, from the paper read, the voluntary "system had also answered well in Glasgow. I also took part in the " , arne Section in a discu sion fon papers read on dysent ry and its " treatment on active service, and as a large number of the I t. .rohn " Ambulance Brigade took part in the 'outh African war, and in any "future war the services oj . the Brigacle might again ~e ?'eqni?'ecl, my " remarks on these lJaperS may be appropriate. I said, I had listened to " the two papers with much interest. "With reference to preventive " measures for dysentery on active service, the rules laid down by the :: autho,rs of the pape~'s were sound enough, but he would warn, " especl::~Jly young medIcal officers, they must not expect too much in wal' tIme, The first duty of the Army and the Generals Com"manding was to beat the' enemy, and measures recomm nded by the " Army doctors, that might be carried out with precision in quiet time " and peace manreuvres, might be quite inadmissible when an Army had " to press forward and give battle. He was desirous of mentioning this " ,1,s med'lca1 0ffi cers were apt to be blamed for circumstances quite' " beyond their control on critical occasions in war time. He had no " doubt, with proper tact and common-sense, the medical and combatant " element would work together harmoniously. He had generally in his " own case found it so, and he thought the Army medical officer of the " present day was well capable of holding his own. " " In ! ul y I attended a most interesting gathering of Railwaymen, orgamse d by Mr. Aslett, the General ranager and the I 'taff of the ;; Furness Railway Comp?"n~, in the grounds of F{lrne, s Abbey. Teams "from several of the prmClpal p~rts o~ the Furne.. s ~ailway system "contested fo~·. the qhallenge ShIeld gIven. by the DIl'ector of the ,,90m pany. I II' J. ;HIbbert, the .Deputy-Chairman, took the chair, and, " ~n ~he co.urse of h!s addI'ess, Sal~, He felt Sure they would all agree " ,:Vlth hI!ll that It was most Important to carryon these first aid " ,mstructlOns. Even those who had passed the examinations might " ,feel they had had all. the knowledge they requil'ed, He would, how" ,ever, venture to say It was ~ever too late to learn. They might still " ,learn as they were attendmg the, e classe" and he impressed upon those who had passed already that they should go on with this

" 'instruction. It made every man much more u efu1. It made them " 'more valuable to the company which they served, and also more " 'valuable to the country. rrhey ought all to know somethinf1: about " 'first aid and it was a matter that aPl)ealed to all clas, es.' In a short " address gave, I said, at and aro~mcl .]'urne.'s Abbey they, tood on " classic ground, and I could well Imagme the monks ?f old, n<?t~d a " they were fol' their attention to the w.a,nts of the sl~k and ~nJured " t11l'ough the hospices which t,hey establIshed and car ned ,on ll?- co~ " nection with the abbeys, 100kll1g down, upon them and. wltne" mg m " spirit their humane work, and thankmg the re-estabhshed Order of " St. John for cal'l'ying on their work as a~apted to t~le needs and wan~s " of the pre ent da,y. In coming al.ong m the tram to attend. theIr "meeting, having poken eyeral tunes on ambulanc~ work m the "district I ,vas casting about for a new text upon whIch to found a " few re~arks and in reading a daily paper, I noticed an account of a " masterful addre s by Profe sol' Darwin, giYen in Cape Town only two " or three days cLgO at the opening, me ting ?f the British A o~iation. "He said 'That Ba,rtholomew Dw,z, th dl:coyerer of the Cape of " 'Storms,' spent sixteen month, on his yoyage, and the little flotilla of " 'Vasco-de-lhl,ma, scl,iling from Li,,bon Oll .July 8th, 1497, only reached " 'the Cape in the middle of XO\"ember.

I aId It wa'3 "51 yecl,rs since I went out to •..'outh i.£rica, taking 65 day on the " voyage from Plymouth to Cape rrown. At that time there was ~10t all "inch of railway ill I 'outh Afriea, and it was then thoughtthatrmlway " might be made along the coast, but that the engineering difficultie. " were so great they would not be carried into the interior. The total " length of railway lines in British I outh Africa, outh of the Zambe. i, " at the present time is 7,000 mile, mnde up a follow:-

" In Cape Colony " In Natal " In Orange River Colony " In Transvaal ... ... " In nhodesia .. .

3,0 0 miles 776 " 598 " 974 " 1,5 1 "

"In addition, there are about 91 mile under construction, so that " railways have been made eyerywhel'e into the interior, and not along the "coast. It is hardly po sible to over-e timate the important factor that " railways constitute in the economic of outh Africa, There are no "navigable rivers, no deep estuaries-Nature has not endowed the " country with any natural facilities of transport-and they are, thel'e" fore, dependent on communication with th interior on the railways, " assisted by the ox-wagon. This ?'apid inc?"ease of ?'ailway development " points to a wide e,rpansion of jint aiel and am.JJ1.dunce wO?'k ave?' the whole " of South Aj?·ica. " Sir George Gibb, the General Manager of the N orth-Ea tern Rail" way, has favoured me with the annual circular on the re ult of the "competitions over their system.

with the British Dominions beyond the Seas has been the visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, Grand Prior of the Order, to His Majesty's Indian Empire. On the occasion of the landing of Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at Bombay, suitable arrangements were made by the local centre for the formation of ambulance stations at the Main Station, Crescent Site, at the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Terminus, at the Floral Fountain, the Head Pulice Office, t.

"in India until the 31st March, 1905, and I now propose to briefly " recapitulate all events of any importance up to that date. " As regards the general work of the Provincial gentr~s I ~ay say " that that was well maintained. The only two ProVInces m IndIa from , which I could draw no response were those of :Jladras a~d the Torth" West Frontier Province. This, in the case of Madras, IS the more to "be regretted because, in 1901-02, when Colonel Harvey-Kelly. was "Honorary 'ecretary,. that Ce?tre made go.od progl:e '. My expenence " is that when the ChIef OffiClal how an mtere::;t m our work, and the " Hon. Sec. is competent, progress follow as a matteI' of course.. . " Bearing ill mind that I was very shortly about to lea-:e IndIa :vlth " little or no prospect of returning there, I felt. that two pomts speCIally " claimed my attention before my departure, VlZ',:\ . "(1) To make the competitions ~or the two f lIver halleng~ .hlelds " presented by the Order to the IndIan Br!1nch, the one for the halhv!1Ys " and the other for the Volunteers of IndIa, as great a suece as tIme "and cil'cum.' tances would permit. The presentation of the e two " Shields had been made at my instanc , and I de ired to ~10W, b~fore I " left India that the object with which they had been gIVen, nz. the "encourao'~ment of ambulance instruction among the l'GLibvays and " Volunte~r ' , was likely to be attain d. The first comp tition for the "Hail way 'hield took place in :March of 1~0'*. Thee team then " competed for it. The same number competed m1Jarch, 1905. Dnfortu" nately, owing to a misunderstanding, the team or the Bengal-Nagpur " Railway anived a day too lat.e and was .UI:able to com'pcte. The.re~ult " of the competition . howed m the opmlOll of the Juc~~es a dl tm?t " advance on the standard attained in 190:3. The competItIon was agam " held at J abalpur, and in the unavoidable ab~ence of tl~e hief Com"missioner the Bishop of N agpur very kmdly presIded. If t~e " arrangem' nt of the Hailway comp titioll pre ented ditticulties-aR It " certainly did-I may fairly ay tha.t that for the Volunteer ' pre ented "them in a two-fold clegl'ee, d(~spite the fact thati the In pector"General of Volullte r in India gave me 8U h support as ~c. could. To "bring the team .. together in one place for the competltlOll was an " impossibility' and to arrange to examin each tea,m locally ",vas found "pmcticabl only in two pla,c R, yiz., in B0!Dbay and alcutta. The " result was that only two tcnl1ls entered, YIZ., the Born bay ""\ olunteer "Rifle. and the Ca,]cutta Port D fence Volunteer. The report of the "iudg were. ent in to me and by me ubmittecl.to the P.M.O. of the "Presidency Di ·trict, alcutta. TJ:e. two competmg teau;ts were both " excellently trained and the cODlpetItlOn Yery clo e. The Inelrl \Va won " by the Calcutta P~rt Def nce Volunteers, silver badg s of merit and "prizes being awarded to en,ch member of both team.. I. ee every " reason to hope that the difliculti s of arrangement, wIth w hlCh I had " to contend in 1905, will gradually disappear in the y ar to come... " Still more important than the ta k of carrying out the competltlOns "for the Challenge 'hields wa::; the tabli hment in India of some " responsible authority to which I could hand over the dutie ,,,hich had "been mine from February 1901, to :March, 1905, yiz., tho e of the " organi ation and managem~nt of the work of the A sociation in India.

The result wa mo. t succe ·sfuI. The Volunteers' "Challenge Shield was exhibited, and the Calcutta Port Defence " Volunteers' Team examined in the competition for it on that occasion. "The arrangements for the' demonstration' were made by Dr. T. F. " Pear e, the honorary secretary of the Bengal Centre. " On leaving Calcutta I proceeded to Japan, where I found 0PPOI'" tunity of acquiring some further knowledge of the Japanese Red Cros, "Society. The success of that. 'ociety is only on a par with the a,chieve" ments of the Japanese people in other great undel'taking.s of national " importance. " On leaving Japan I ,isited Canada, and succeeded to ,'ome ext nt " in interesting the people of the Dominion in the work of our Associa"tion. Tin?-e, unfortunately, did not_permit of my arranging to act in " concert WIth Colonel Ryerson, the General. 'ecretary of the Canadian "Centre. At a meeting held in the Railway Committee Room of the House of Commons in Ottawa, on the 24tb of May, Sir James Grant " took the Chair, and the cause of the. 'to John Ambulance Association " was advocated by, in addition to myself. 'ir Frederick Borden BishoI) "H ' l ton 0f 0 ttawa, MaJor-General . ' ' amI Lake, Drs. Coulton and, Monti" zambert, and Mr. Coats, of the Labour Department. " After some study and experience of the work of the . ' t. John " Ambulance Association in our Colonies and Dependencies, I ventured " to suggest to the Centml Executive Committee that with the sanction "of ~.~.H. the Grand Prior, hiF> Majesty's representatives in his " dommIOns b~yond th.e seas should be invited to give their support to, " and take an mterest Ill, the Centres established in the territories under :: ~heir G?vernment. In \he event of the British Empire being involved " IJ? a seriOUS war every Col~:my and Dependency will learn to a ppreClate the advantage of haVIng ready a trained Ambulance Corps.

There has been further increased extension of work at the Australian and New Zealand Centr~s and other branches beyond the Seas, while a great impetus has been given to the work of the Cape Colony Centre by the return to office of lYIajor J. A. Liebmann, whose services in former years were so useful in the formation and extension of cla '8es in Cape Colony, the Transvaal, Free tate, An independent Centre has now and in the OranO'o b . been established at Bloemfontein in the Orange River Colony ill direct communicat.ion with the Head Office, and it is hoped shortly that the old Centre at Johannesburg, which became extinct during the war, will be re-organized under the auspices of the Hio'h o Commissioner and of the Countess of Selborne, who have very kindly promised to do everything in their power to assist.

With regard to both the above-named Special Services of the Brigade, the Committee desires to bring to the notice of H.R,H. the Grand Prior and the Chapter of the Order, as deserving their high appreci9,tion, the voluntary a.nd disinterested services of those Officers of the Brigade, both medical and ambulance, on whom devolve much trouble and responsibility in connection with the details of selection, examination, and enrolment of members of the R.N.A,S.B. Reserve and Bearer Companies, and also with regard to their subsequent attendance at annual inspections, camps, and the various special courses which are held from tillle to time. On the suggestion of a member of the Order, who generously defrayed the cost of the tickets for the Ocean journey as a donation to the Order, Colonel Bowdler very kindly, at considerable expense and inconvenience to himself, undertook to make a tour in Canada with a view to endeavouring to impart fresh life into the existing Centres, to institute new branches, and to establish the formation of units of the Brigade. He has forwarded the following report and the Chapter-General, on the recommendation of the Committee, has passed to Colonel Bowdler a very cordial vote of thanks for his characteristic self-sacrifj..ce in making so long and arduous a j 01uney at a very

" Extmcts f1'om, Repo1·t on Visit to Canada. " Previous to my embarking for Canada, I ascertai~ed that no r~po.rts " had been received from the several centres of the S. J. A. ASSocIatIOn " for the past three 01' foul' years, so th~t there was n.o officiallm~)\,:,ledge " of the continued exi~tence of any Centre, (wOl'k m the Donumon of " recent years having been chiefly carried on by mean,' of (Detached « (Clas e '), but the ihief I '.e~l'etary was good enough to. 'end an intimation of my proposed ''1SIt to some ten gentlemen wh? m former " years had been interested in our work, and those of them .wlth who!ll I "succeeded in O"etting an intel'vie,v gave me a very corellal receptIOn, « Lieutenant- olonel A. C. Yate, too, h.ad g~ven me the lli:Lmes. of " gentlemen whom he had seen on tbe subJect of ambulance work durmg " his vi, it to Canada a year or so ago, and several of the 'e gave me " much useful information and other help. ( I left England on November 2nd la,st, and reached Quebec on the «( loth. The flhip being detained there for several hour,', I made two or " three attempt' by telegra,ph to ,eCUl'e a~ interview with Colonel « Neilson retired Director General Canadian A.:JL '., to whom I had w{'itten in aehance. He i, I believe, chairman of the " Quebec Centre, which ha b en practically d funct .for orne years. " On driving' to his country house I found that he was m ~ ew York. I « subsequently had letter from him, and I gathered from t.het? and "from interviews with two Ot' thr Quebec people that It IS not « impossible that interest in ambulance instruction may be revived. ( I reached Montreal on November 11th. I receiv d the greate t assistance from Dr. T. G. Roddick (Hon. A ociate), who gave me « introductions to medica.l men and others, and helped to organize a « public meeting, and al. 0 from Dr. Yate, , for lllany y aI'S I'ecretary, and now Chairman of the local entr. Owing to th ir ini1uence, the « press is~ued l~nO" accounts of interviews with me de cribing the objects and working of the Order, A sociation, and Brigade, a~d ( these articles in the papers succe ded in exciting '0111e intere t I.n (( the .work among the artizan and other clas e. After a, publIc meetmg, at which a very good number of the nght sort of « working men, aJ1d but very few women, were pre, ent, an(~ which I (( addressed at lel1O'th, it wa,' resolved with appal' nt cnthu, Ia,'m that ~( step' should be taken to stal"t first aid clas e , and, , ub ' quently, " organize a unit of tbe Brigade.

I had long ll1t rYleW Wlt!t « the director of the institute and the lecturer (Dr. Cushing), and It H was ultimately decided to turn the classes into t. J. A.

" On arrival in Toronto on November 2.1st, I hB:-d a long interview: wit:l " Colonel Ryerson who gave me much mterestmg and valua,ble mf<;>r"mation about the work of the Association in Canada .pnol~ to Its " decline a few years ago, and also regarding the present SItuatIOn a?d " future prospects. Through his kind courtesy, I had the opportumty " of meeting the members of the cOIl?mittee o~ the local centre, and I am " also indebted to him fol' letters of mtroductlOn to several gentlemen of " influence in the ,Vest. In the evening of the 21st I called at the Y.M.C.A.

Surgeon-Major-General Sir John By Cole Reade, K.C.B., having found it necessary to resign the office of Medical Officerin-Chief of the St. John Ambulance Brigade owing to ill health has been succeeded by Mr. Edmund Owen, F.R.C.S., one of the oldest members of the Central Executive Committee and of the ~.'Iedical S taft'. The following Members and Associates have been appointed Superior Officers in the Brigade since the issue of' the last report :Mr. Lawrence vVbittaker, Assistant Commissioner, No. IV. District.

A letter having been received from the Director-General of the Arm! Medic,al De~artment with reference to the subject of PreventlOn of DIsease m War, and stating that in time of need when the resources of the country are taxed the vVar Office would be obliged in future, as in the past, to look to the Order of St. John ~or assistance, and having regard to the fact that at present its assistance is limited to the relief of the sick and wounded it s~emed desirable t~ him t.hat effort might be made to prev~nt dIsease, such an object beIng not less worthy of the attention of the ~rder on t~e grounds o.f humanity than are the attempts to alleVIate suffenng. The Duector-General further stated that as the organisation of the jIedical branch of the Army is tendinO' towards a higher state of efficiency in both these directions, and t~F\,t ~ necessary pa~'t of that organisation is a scheme of expans~on m ?Teat wars, It had occurred to him that the splendid serVIce whlCh the Order had rendered in the South African ,Var to the va~ue of which he coulLl personalJy testify, might in fut~n'e c~mpaigns be gl~catly extended if a training in the knowledge of DIsease PreventlOl1 ·were taken up as a necessary part of its beneficent work. These suggestions bein o' cordially concurred in by the Committee, permission was obtained frOID the Council of the Order to institute a course of instruction in Military Sanitation, to forn:1 part of. the ol'dinn.ry training undergone by members of the Bngade UllltS. ,Vith the assistance of a special Medical Sub?ommi~tee a curriculum was drawn up for such a cour e of trainl~g, whlCh has been based upon notes on the subject written by LIeut.-Colonel H. P. G. Elkington, R.A.lVI.C., who has yery generously presented the worl~ to the Order, and which is now in press being prepared for publication. The CommiLtee feels that a debt ,of gratitude is due to Surgeon-Gener[\,l K eogh for these s:lggestlOns, as the institution of such a valuable cour e of instructIOn cannot fai~ to be of the greatest use in any future wars wh81~e. t.he serVlCes of the Brjgade may again be called into requIsltlOn.

With a view to encouraging a still greater attendance at the home hygiene lectures the Committee, with the approval of the Council of the Order, has decided that a certificate in that course, which is just as equally important to men as the home nursing course is to women, may be allowed in future to count as first 01' second qualification towards the medallion. This privilege involved a change in the medallion regulations, which have been revised and under which candidates can now take a certificate in first aid, in home nursing, or in home hygiene and the same will be allowed to count as part qualification, bu t as the original raison d'et?ne of the Association was, and continues to be, instruction in first aid, two passes in that subject are indispensable before the medallion can be oLtained, the second pass in first aiel taking place not less ,than one :year from the date of the original first aid certificate. It has been found by experience that after certificated pupils have obtained the medallion there is little encouragement to them to keep up their knowledge, unless they belong to the St. John Ambulance Brigade and have to pass its annual efficiency examination, The Committee has therefore instituted a label , which can be obtained by passing an annual re-examination in first aid after the medallion has been earned, the label being fastened to the medallion like a bar, or if desired, being available for Inanufacture into a watch-chain or bracelet when a sufficient nurrluer has been obtained.

On the occasion of the visit of Their Majesties the King and Queen to Sheffield last summer, 1200 cases of 8.ccident in the streets were efficiently dealt with by the members of the local Corps of the Brigade on duty; and when a similar visit was paid by Their Majesties to the City to lay the foundation stone of the King Edward VII. Post Office, the Commissioner of the City Police, as a member of the Central Executive Committee, reported that very valuable assistance had been rendered by the men of the Metropolitan Oorps of the Brigade in several instances, especially in one case of rather a serious character.

report was also received from the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade with reference to the services of the same Corps on the occasion of the opening of King-sway by the King and Queen. H.R.H. the Duchess of Argyll has accepted the Presidency of the Southampton Centre. H.R.H. Princess Christian, 'whose wonted interest in everything that concerns the amelioration of the sufferings of the sick and wounded in war and the relief of the injured in peace, is so well known, presided, as on so lllany former occa ions, at the annun,l meeting of the Norwood Centre and presented certificates, voucher, and medallions to a large number of pupils of the pa t session, the meeting being preceded by a demonstration by the men of the outh Eastern and Chatham Rail,vay, and by a display by the Nursing sisters of the Xorwood Division of the Brigade. Amongst other distinguished personages who have presided, or who have taken part in sinlilar meetings in furtherance of the A sociation's work, have been the Lord jIayors of London, Dublin, Birmingham, l\Ianchester and heffield, and the 1\1ayors of Brighton, Portsmouth, Rochdale and outhampton; Viscount Cobham at tourbridge, Lord huttleworth at Burnley, Lord Raglan in the Isle of Man, the ~Iarchioness of Zetland at the Middlesborough and loveland Centre, urgeon-General A. Keogh, C.B., Director-General of the Army Iedical Service, who was accompanied by Sir John Furley, GB., at Tibshelf, the l\1arquess of Bn,th at the Bath entre, the Right Honourable "\Valtel' Long, M.P., at Bri tol, the ountess of Pmri at ,Vel hpool, Lord Farrar at Derby, and the Earl of Lathom, at the unveiling of a memorial at Preston to men of the local Corps who died on active service in South Africa. Amongst the most interesting meetings was one held at Rochdale attended by the Chief ecretary and the Chief Commis ioner, for the inauguration of the new Drill Hall generously presented to the town by Colonel G M. Royds, C.B., M.P., and II's. Royds, a Knight and Lady of Grace of the Order. Illustrations of the Hall, which is admirably equipped and furnished, and of the members of the Rochdale Corps and Nursing Division are appended to this report. Descriptions of the annual reviews and other meetings in connexion with the Brigade will be found in the reports of the

St. John A 1J~b'/,&lance Associc&tion.

Superior Officers in the Appendix, and in the local reports of Centres will be found references to the numerous challenge shields and prizes so frequently and generously offered for competition for the purpose of provoking praise-worthy emulation and of inducing those already certificated to meet together . for practice and to maintain efficiency. It may h ere be mentioned that the Commlttee .~as ~ad :lnder consideration the necessity for some system of untformlty ln the qualification for entrance in the numerous competitions, which are now held all over the country, for Challenge hields and other prizes. It is thought by the Committee, although no hard and fast rule on the subject has yet been made, that an equable standard for entry would be the possession of the first aid certificate, voucher, nledallion or label, anyone of which may have been gained within ten months of the date of the competition. The Director and Chairman and the Central ExecutIve Committee submit that this report of development and progress during the past year is not unworthy of the reputation of the historic Order of St. John. The Committee desires once more to reiterate its conviction that a well-earned debt of gratitude is due to the Medical Staff and to the Executive of all ranks, whether connected with the Association or with the Brigade, both in London and in the Provinces, and in the British Dominions beyond Seas, the members of which are devoting their best energies to the furtherance of the philanthropic work of this Department of the Order. That this satisfactory state of things may long continue and lead to still further extension in every part of the Empire of His Majesty the King, the Sovereign Head and Patron of the Order, is the most earnest wish and belief of the Central Executive Committee.

We have not hacl as many classes as \\'e shonlli have likecl for this session, the reason for this is that we decided to start the cla.ses in Noyemuer, and the exami. natiotl therefore took place too early to allow bl'ehe mOllths interval between it and thc last examination. This pre\'entcd the members who were sncce slul in 1904 frol11 entering. The only ela .. s we were able:to hold, therefore, was a women's class, which was very sllccessful. All who entered for examination ~atisned the examiner. ,Ve feel quite connllent that illis wiuter \\'e shall be able to show a marked improvement in the llllllluer of classe',

A.N'NUAL HEPOBT. The Oommittee of the Birmingham Local Ocntre haye pleasure in !;uh1l1itting. to the members the Twentv-fifth Annual Report and StflteIllent of Account. l)Ul'll1g tbe period under review' there has been an incl'easing inter?st SIIO\\,Il. ill the. v~lue and importance of the kllolVledge imparted through the lIle(liul1l of t,lns ASSOCIatIOn, and your Committee point ont with atisfaction that, ~s the ~'esllit of tl~e work 0T a qnarter of a century, 9,000 men and women have rece1\'e,l Clthel' first ~111 or ll~l1'~lI1g certificates. Your Oommittee deplore the lamented death of Lord Lelgb, n, h,llt!,(ht Df Justice of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jeru. alclll in Ellgland, amI for many years its Bailiff of Egle. who, in aclditiol~ to being the ~resicle.lIt of tl?e Oentre since its formation in 1880, has always cbsplayed such a kll1dly 1I1tCl'est 111 tlle ambulance work of the district. The terminating clate of the working year has been altered from J11ne 30th to AUO'llSt 31st, in order to come into line with IIf'adquarters, whose accoulits are ren<'1erell on the 3] st August. This al ter.ation has necessitated the inclusion in the present accoullts and report of a pcnorl of 14 mon tbs. After voting a furt.her sum of £50 towarcls the cost of the upkcep of the BirminO'hnm Oorps the funds of the Oentre have been reducerl to £79 191'1. l1 r1., nearly the wbole of which will shortly be absorbed in equipping the Oorps with sufficient material and stores to enable it to continue its good work on behalf of the citv. Thirty-one classes have been hel.1 during the period under revie" :-20 fi.r~t aiel (men), 7 first aid (women), 1 nursing (men), 3 nursing (women), and 497 cerLlfIcates issued. The thanks of the Oentre are most gratefully an,l corclially d ne to the medical lecturers, whose gratuitons efforts make the Association the fillCCPfiS it is. Your Oommittee are still desirous that a nursing division of the Brigade should be formed, and appeals to those ladi es holding both first aid and nursing certiricates Lo as"ist them in the movelllent. The upkeep of the Birmingb am Oorps of Lhe St. J ohD Ambulance Brigade, although small, is scvt::rely taxing the l'eSOlll'CeS of the Oentre, and unless some outsicle help he forthcoming it is to be feare,l that its invalnable work will have to be restricted, as there are now only very limited funds at its disposal.

The work of this Centre has been fairly well maintained, though local circulUstances have, to some extent, militated against its complete succes . Several classes on the 'W elsh COi:.st laboured up to a certain point, but the men's minds having been diverted by a popular religious movement, they fell short of fitting themselves for examination. The figures given as the result of the work of the gession do not, therefore, repre ent the whole of the progress made. The Challenge hield IJresemed by the wives of the General Manager antI "olicitor of the Company was competed for in April last, at Os\,estry, and won by the Portmadoc team, the whole of the ambulance men on the line together with their lady frienus being most generously eutertained by MI'. and l\Ir .

This Committee was brought into being la t year and this is the first report prcsented. The work of the Centre has cousist~d chiefly in promoting a competition for Colliery teams and organizillg classes for instruction in fir~t aid. 'I'h" first competition was h eld at Heath Hayes last June in connection with the villa.ge fete and pit pony show. Dr. Scott Wilson, of Walsall, was jndge and six teams entered. The Holly Bank Colliery Team was awarded first prize, and the Brownhills Colliery Team the second . A handsome Silver Shield was provided and is held by the first named team for this year. Silver medals were presellted to the memlJers of the winning team and bronze ones to the members of the second. The cost of the .shiel.d and wedals has been met by subseriptiom, aided by an appropriation of a pOl'tlOn of the treasurer's balance. The institution of this COI1l IJE'Lition has immediately accomplished the de:;ired efIects j the 11um bel' of am IJUlance clases heltl, the nnmber of students in attenuance, and the general interest in :llnbulallce work h~ve all been greater than in any former year L ast 'epte:-nber, Colonel Williamson kmdly presented the r.eJ tifieates and medallions obtained in the previous sessioll, a~d the two successful teams in the !Shield Competition gave a very instructive dIsplay of first aid unrler the direction of Drs. Berry and W olverso11. From 1892 to ) 904, the sl1ccesses at ambulance classes held in mining Centres were 321 first year, 111 second, and 68 third year. It will be seen that this year's figures far exceed the average of previous years, and 110 (loulJt this is to sOllie extent ~ue to the stimulating effects of the competition. The increases are, probably, also Infl~lenc(\d by the demands 011 the part of employers. mines inspectors, alld exalllinahon boards, that colliery officials shall be capitble of reudel'ing intelligent ftrst aid treatment. From the balance sheet it will be seeu the finances of the Centre are in a healthy condition, despite expenditure incidental to the commenceme11t of an organi~atioD, which will D;>t rec~lr. All the classes, excepting .Fish ley, have becn re.cogm~ed. by the County EducatIOn C()lTIlllittec, and all expemes up to £3 pel' cliLss wI~1 be pald by them, the total uncl~r ~his head will, probably, be 1'1' 0111 £20 to £25, bemg made up of Ambulance ASSOCIation Oharges (lOs. 6d. pel' class) examiners' fees, and expenses of schools.

Th e Oommittee is pleased to be able to report that the past year has been one of cOlltinued satis factory progress. Though perhaps numerically the attendance has been less .. trong than last year, there has been considerably more zeal shown by both sexl's. The results in both classes arc very gratifying. Finaneially, considering that the Centre is absolutely self-sllpporting, the balance in ]land is satisfactory. The attenda1lce of members at the various race meetings, Hower shows, etc., has been much appreciated, and at the Bl1ttle of :Flowers, on Th111'sday, 24th August, and the following illumination, they were again instrumental in attelll1ing to some 17 caRes, some of\\" hich were serious. Life-saving drill on land and in the water is now being taught to members, and it is hoped they will embrace the opportunity of acquiring n. k nowledge so valuable in a sea-girt hIe like .Tersey.

ANNUAL REPORT. The Oommittee has again the plea ure of reporting a year of teac1y progle~R. First aid classes for men have been held at the General Hospital, Northampton, and at "Velton, Blakesley, rrowce tel', Brackley, and Earl'~ Barton; anel for women at the General Ro. pital and at Blake ley, Farthillghoe and Towcester. Nursing classes for women have been held at the General Hospital and ,'to Michael's Road Ba,ptist School, Northa,mptoD, and at Blakesley; and two first aid clas. eR for juniors luwe been held at the D omestic School of Economy, Da.llington. A total of 3 :2 pupil ' entered the classes, of whom 276 passed the examination and gained the ARsociittioll'~ certificate. The Oentre has now been in existence for nearly 20 years, alld the work, especially that of the OorpFl, has increa. ed so much during that period tha.t the Com mittee appeal for furtheJ' 'upport from the pllblic to enable them to increa.se the gl'a,llt. to the Oorps, and also, if possihle, to establish perma,nent head-quarters for the Uorps, where material can be stored and practices held. the need for whieh has 1011'" been felt. Referring to the st,ttemel1t of receipts and expenditure, attention i~ c11'l~wn to the fact that the accounts have this year been made up to the eud of 'eptemhcl' instead of to the end of June as heretofore. AFl the financial year of the Associ,ttion ends on September 30th, and mo~t of the other Oentre.' m!1ke up their a.ccounts to that date, the Committee considered it woulcl he more convenient Lo adopt the R,tme course. The result for the present year is, however, flomewhaL mislea.ding', itR the accounts covel' a period of a year allel a qumter, and in Rome inFltancc ' indude Lhe receipts and payments for two ycars.

ANNUAL REPOR'l'. It is with plea ure that the Oommittee present their twenty-first annuall'eport. Vi[ e regret to have to record the death of two members of our medica,} staff, Mr. A. V. Griffiths, of Fenton, and Ur. E. -White Jones, of Longton, both of whom had rendered, as lecturers, valuable services, which will be much mis ed. Death h,ls edso removed from among t us Mr. G. Oumberlidge, who had represented t-ltnfforc1sbire Oounty Oouncil for many ypars upon the Oommittee of our Oentre. \Ve offer the heartiest of welcomes to Sir Hill Ohild, who bear <"\, name, honoured tLlUOllgst us for many years, as that of a late much re pected PI' sident of our Oentre. It is illterestillg to notice that, of the whole number of cla.sses held during the pa 't year. about half were held in country pla.ces a.nd about half in town. This affords UR much satisfaction, for it has ahv,.ys been our de ire to llleet the needs of each kind of district. The aid given by the Staffordshire Oounty Oouncil has been kindly continued, and is of the greatest service in provicling classes which could not otherwise be main tainecl. The number of per ons who have now passed through a course of instruction forms an appreciable proportion of the whole population. As a natural consequence, one hea-rs more seldom now of such unfortunate mistake. as were common in the days before knowledge of hygiene, first aid and nursing was Ie s easily obtained. As our work steadily de,elopes we may with every confidence expect that every yeflr "ill see more suffering prevented and more lives prolonged. \Ve offer our renewed tlHmks to tho e who so very kindly give their service (in eyery Cfl e entirely unpa-id) as lecturer. Also we tender an expression of our gratitude to the various holders of the office of secretary to a class. The duties are often onerou and trying; t.hey have been undertaken willingly and well fulfilled . Honorary services of considerable importance are al 0 rendered by the auditor, Mr. F. Geen, C.A. ; and there are mfl,ny to whom we are indebted for various kinds of help. \Ve beg them fl11 to accept our thanks. At the clo e of another year we offer congratulations a. \Yell as thank to one whose patience, courage and ability have done 0 much to ma.intain and improve the excellent condition of our Oentre, and to promote the good cause far and wiele-oul' H onorary ecretary, Mr. ydney W. Malkin.

During the 11ast year the work in connection with this Oentre has been well maintaine(l, but it is regretted that tbe attendances at the classes have been small. The Ea t Kent Ambulance Oompetition took place at the Artillery Drill Hall, on Thursday, 2-Hh November, 1904. Eleven squads competed, Dr. Heaton Howard acted a jllllge. Tho result of the COlllpetition was as follows :-(1) Ramsgate Railway ection, 7 ; (2) RaUl gate Police, 74.; (3) Doddington, 72; (4) Ramsuate Town, No.2, 71 ; (5) Ramsgate Town, No.1 , 60; (6) Oanterbury, 54; (7) G~een treet, K o. 1, 52 ; ( ) Green treet, TO. 2, 17 ; (9) ·W estgate, 46; (10) Dover, 45 ; (11) Faversbrtm, 41. Each me11111er or the 1st and 2nd teams received a ilver spoon engraved E.K.A.O., 1901. i\h". Gilbert \'ery kindly gave five in the nursing Divi5ioll, judged by Dr. 'otton.

Force in first aid have been held during the year, and 32 officers have passed the first examination 3 the first re-examination, and 2 the final re-examination. Very numerous in'stances have occurred in which the knowledge acquired by the police in these classes has proved to be of the greatest value. The Ambulance Br~ga~e ~ormed in heffield six years ago has continued to do much good wOll~ by ma~nta.mmg the hi.-rh standard of efficiency attained to by many ambulance men m the dlstilct. The an~bulance carriages provided by the Oity 'Watch Cvmmittee,. and kept at the Fire Brigade tation, Rockingham treet, have been much used durmg the past year, and have pro\'ed of the greatest value for the removal of injured ~ersons to the ~ospitals. The Committee regret to have to report that th~ Treasurer s account agam ~~ows an a.dverse balance, the sum of £6 lOs. lld. bemg due to the bank. Additional annual snb.-criptions and donations are appealed for to place the Oentre in a better n.nancinl position. The Oommittee desires to convey its best thanks to the Hon. ecretary (Dr. Iartin), the lecturers, the cIa s secretaries, and all those who have by their kind a')si,tn,nce helped forward the work of the Centre.

Twenty-onefirst aid classes have been held, and, in addition to. these, the members of 38 classes (30 first aid and 8 nul' ing), held in connection WIth the Sheffiel~ E~ucation Committee Evening Continuation 'choo1s, have had the benefit of exammatlOn by the official examiner of the Association. The total membership of these classes was 635. At the examinations held on behalf of the CentI:al ~xecutive 346 tudents passed the first examination, 154 the first reexammatlOn, ~nd 123 the second or final re-examination. These figures, added to those of prevlOus years, make a total of 14,44.2 passes ince the formation of the Centre. Although the above is a. satisfactory record of work done during the past year, the Committee nO.te with regret that, both as regards the number of classe h~ld and the membersh.IP. of the classes, the figures show a falling off as compared WIth recent years. ThIS IS doubtless due to the depressed condition of trade duril1U' ~he greate~ part. of the period under r~view, whi?h resulted in fewer classes being held m connectlOn WIth the large works m the neIghbourhood. The Committee would urge upon all employers of labour the desirability of encouraging the formation of first aid class~s amongst their employees. T he followmg mem.bers of the medical profession have kindly acted as lecturer under the Centre durmg the past year :-Dl'. E. \ V. Adams, ir. Sidney F. Ba,rber, D r .

'tu,te. TIli · increased activity ha' been in large measure due to the earnest co-openttion of the member' of established branches, and, in some instances, to illlliyidual c1eyotion to the ambulance cau e by practical and untiring a si .Lance in the formation of debtchccl cbs es. Fre'h intere t ha also been mH,nifestccl in SOUle of the citie and town ' of 1\ew outh ,\VaJes, and as the result of public In >etings new branches h.1.\'e been formed.

Advice reached ydney later on in the year that the distinguished decoration of Knight of Grace of the Order had also been conferred upon Major G. Lane Mullins, 111.,1, M.D., Oommis ioner for Australia of the t ..John Ambulance Brigade, These gentlemen received the warm congratulations of your Oommittee on receipt of the intimation. I n December last Mr. G. H. vVilliams, a member of the Executive Oommittee, who has rendered valuable assistance to our cau. e for some years and an active worker in connection with the Fresh Food and Ice Go. Branch, found himself obliged to retire owing to departure for outh America, and it was with much regret that his resignabon was accepted. Miss E. O. Elliott. al 0 an energetic worker a,s eCl'etary of the Ashfield Branch, resigned her position in June and received the thanks of the Oommittee. An unu ual but interesting feature of our work has 1een the forma.tion by Mr. A. E. Taylor of a jllYenile cIa at Paddington, the in truction and exa.mina.tion of the boys being kindly undertaken by Dr. ·W alton mith and R. E. Roth respectively. It i pleasing to note that all the bOYfl sllcceeded in gaining the J ullior Oertificate. In the absence of a Oentre at Hobart, Tasmania, your Oommittee were asked to sanction the formation of clas es in that city under the auspice.· of this Oentre, and one has already been in. tructed and examined. Dr. T. ,·'torie Dix on happened to be visiting Tasmania. at the timtl the request was receiyed and kindly assisted in making the necessary arrangements, especially by conferring with . ullle of the leading citizens, including employers of workmen engaged ill cln.ngerous handicraft in districts where medical aid is not readily. if at alL available. On 19th July last Lieut.-Ool. R. E. Roth delivered an interesting lecture on ambulance work to the members of the F:\ydney ,Vharf Lallourel'q mon on the occasion of a demonstration in first aid by a . quad from the Glebe Di yision, ' ..r. A. B. The very favourable peeches made at the conclusion of the lecture point to the early formation of a branch in connection with that nion. In view of such gmtifying results attending the operations of the N.S. ,V. Oentre during the year just ended the Oouncil feel it incumbent upon themselve. to expre s the ·warme. t grtttitucle to tho 'e members of the medical profession who have so un elfi.-;hly I"rlvell lllud} of their valuable tin1e to the work of formation and instl'Uctioll of cIa, ses, aml t.o the secretaries and officers of branches alld detached classes for their efforts to promote and maintain the classes successfully. The Oommittee desire to exprefls theil thallks to their ecretary, Mr. Boles R . Rainsford, for his untiring energy and good wurk during the year.

some time. Both of the deceased gentlemen alwl1yS took an active inter t in the work of the ssocil1tion. l\Ir. George Ohri tie, hl1ving removed to ydney, forwt1,rded hi resignation, which wa accepted with much regret. Dr. R. L. McAdam was elected a member of the Council. Dr. Glen Kni,rht, Port Melbourne, and Dr. J. H. l'Gee, Brighton, IHl,ving delivered four co~rse of lectures gratuitou ly, hrwe been appointed honorary life member by the London Head-quarters. The ambulance service in charge of JHl'. II. A. Osgood, ha done a Hl t alllount of useful work during the past year. Nine hundred and ixty-three calls were u,ttended to, and fir t aid to the injured w-as rendered in 106 ca es, prior to .the removal of the injured to the hospital. The eli tance travelled wu,s about 5,500 llllle. One hundred and two calls could not be attended to, u,s the waggon was out attendiu!;- to other cases; this is not likely to occur again, as your Council hu,s had buil t a 'econd waggon, with every convenience to lllinimi 'e the uffel'ings of the injured. The Oouncil again desires to impre s on the Minister of Education, the principal:; of schools, and all eduC11 tional in titution , the importance of forming clas 'e u,nd having their pupils taught what to do in ca es of accident and uc1den illness until the aid of medical practitioner can be obtained. Ability to render first aid is undoubtedly an important branch of knowledge. Schools, above all, afford the best opportunity, at the age when impressions are most deeply made for learning what to do in ca es of accident. ~ an inducement, the fee for school pupil has been reduced to 5 . for a course of lectures on first aiel, and a certificate is awarded on p:1ssing an examination. The Council would also urge the holding of clas e' in connection with Mechanic::;' Institute, Schools of Mines, Technical Colleges, Australian Xatiyes' _b'ociatioll, Young Men's and ",Vomen's A 'sociation, Girls' Friendly ocieties, anel kindred associations, that afford pecial facilities for organi ing and holding classe ; abo in connection with manufacturing companie . An Annual pecial Examination for prizes of £5 5 ., £3 3s., and £1 1.., is held in the month of 1\1arch each year, open to all who have pa ed a first aid examination, and have not obtained a prize at any previous examination. This exanllnation acts as a stimulus to the acquirement of a more thorough knowledge of how to render first aid to the injured. The examination this year was held by permi::;_-ioll of the Right ",Vorshipful the Lord Mayor, in the Melbourne '{'own IIaIl, on atLll'day, 25th JYIarch, 1905. even teen candidates presented themselves, and were examined by Dr. Springthorpe and Dr. R. L. McAdam, on whose report the Councill.,,'arCled the first prize to Miss Bertha Clark, Carlton , ub-Centre; the. econd prize to Miss J\Iinnie Grove, Port Melbourne ub-Centre; and the third to Frederick ;,Iawson, of North Fitzroy Sub-Centre. During the year there have been held 3 Men's and ",Vornen's first aid chkses, and 4 nursing classes; 259 pupils have been in.tructed, of whom 154 pa 'ed their ex ami nations for certificates, of whom 30 completed their course for medallions. Of the thirty, 17 were presented with medallions at the annual elistrilmtion by .Janet L ady Clarke, on 1st May, 1905, The total number of persons in tructed by thi Oentre now amounts to 14,329 ; of these 9,365 have successfully passed their examination . New Sub-Centrefl have been opened at Star-of-the-Sea Convent, Elsternwick, Torth cote, and Lorne. The Council tenders its grateful acknowled€,rment for the subscriptions and donations received during the past year. The Oouncil again desires to place on record its continued indebtedlle 's to the medical gentlemen who have so generously given their time and labour to the illstrU(;hon of claRses in 1elbourne and suburbs, and throughout the tate; to the htdies and gentlemen who have so willingly undertaken the duties of hon. , ecret~1ry, and to whom the success of the Sub-Centres has been mainly due; and to the press for the courteous manner in which they have opened their columns when re(luested to make public the philanthropic efforts and work of the Association, and to other numerous friends who have in many ways helped to further the interests of the Association. The annual distribution of the medallions and certificates awc),rcled to tho e who passed the necessa,ry examination during the past ycar took place in the Melbourne Town Hall, on the evening of Monday, 1st May, 1905. Janet Lady Chwke made the presentations. The Ambulance Corps under Major Horne, M. D., formed a guard

ANNUAL REPORT. Th e Council of the West Australiau Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association have ll1uch pleasure in presenting their fOUl'teenth annual report to members aud subscribers for the year ending 31st D ecember, 1905. Owing to a request from H ead-quarters in London, we are now closing o~r :real' earlier thau usual, so that the reports and balance sheets may be preparecl 111 time to appear in the report published by the H ead Office, and containing the work of all Uentres throughout the globe. We are not yet in receipt of the grant of £50 given by the Government for instruction to members of the police forces. This is a perpetual grant, and is gi"en without respect to llumbers. '1'he Centre being compelled to instruct all members ,,'ho hand in their names, we feel sure that this grant will be continued. That all 111embe1's of the force should be competent first aid men is patent to all, and, with the facilities offered, there is no reason why this shoulJ not be so, besides offering a strong argument for a continuance of the grant. Your Council regret the removal of ergt. mith, but our loss bas been the gain of Coolganlie. As a com pliment for the good \,ork performed in the pa~t by ergt. Smith, the Oouncil decided that he should retain his seat on the Oouncil. Classes for instruction of the police were held in Coolgardie and Cuc. Owing to the Police Tournament, no classes were held in the suburus. A team from the Central Station, however, carried off the open first aid competition. 'We are communicating with the Commissioner of Police to obtain his permission for all first aid men to wear the Association's 1auge. This, whilst not interfering with tbe men's uniform in any way, wonld be the means of keeping their first aid knowledge up to date. The total number of students who have had instruction this year were 116, whilst 54 sucC'esfully passed the examination . -We have yet to examine some classes ill the country districts. During the year Uessrs. Cunningham, Lap. ley & Stinton (who were 1r1entioned in last year's report) were made Honorary Servillg Brothers of the Order, and during the visit of their Excellencies L ord and Lad y K orthcote to this • 'iate, the two former gentlemen were invested with the insignia, this eyellt taking place at the Oitizens ' Ball given in honour of their Excellencies' vi~it . The presentation was most appropriate, L ord and Lady Jorthcote being respectively Knight and Lauyof Grace of the Ordar. The annual meeting was held in Queen's Hall in April, and was a great success, fully 3,000 persons being present. A small charge ,vas made for booking seats, for which the sum of £7 5s. was received. During the evening our worthy patron, His Excellency Admiral Sir F. G. Bedford, invested Dr. Geo. F. Mc,Yilliams \vitlt Lhe insignia of H onorary Associate, His Excellency being pre ented with the CenL]'f~'1; framed certificate of Life Mem hership. Competitions were given by the Ladies' First Aid and Nursing Classes, the police and others. The Splatt Wall trophy was competed for and carried off by the }Jolice team, and now becollles their prolJerty. Your Committee was Eleized wilh the importance of instructing the senior scholars of the State Schools, and, through the kind interest of the Headmaster of the James Street School, a class was conducted there last November. About 30 lads attended, but, owing to the preparations for the annual conccrt and vacation , no examination was held. We hope to finish this as soon after the re-opening as possible. We have again to point out tbe benefit arif"illg from having a kno\\lec1ge of first aid work, severalmem bel'S having during tIle year rendered good sen'ice ill cases of accidents. At the Easter encam}Jment several members of the Association ofl'ered their services to the military authorities as volunieers to man the field. hospital. This service was accepted, and we were thus able to treat several cases of a seriolls natme which would otherwise have calleel for removal to Perth. The salIle men1hers ha\e since been performing the duties appertaining to the Australian Army Medical Corps. A large class was formed amongst the members of the Fremal1tle Lumpers' Union, when over 30 attended the lectures. Bnubnry Union also formed a class, which has yet to be examined. The result of the examination of Fremantle was so crediLablc that the Union have decided to form another class. This is a good object-lesson to

ANNUAL R EPORT.

EMPIRE OF INDIA.

A grati fying feature of the work in t he Orange River Colony is that not a penny has been paid to medical practitioners as fees for lecturing or exallJining, nor to any other pel' on. T he Government of the Orange R iVer Oolony has very kindly decided to give an annual grant of £25 to the funds, and the Oentral South African R ailways a grltnt of £10 annnally, The Oorporation of Bloemfontein has given a donation of £25, and it is hoped that this may be made an annual grnnt. Tho Oentre is on a tho roughly sonnel basis, and the work is on the increflfle. T welve classes, viz. , 11 first aid, and 1 home hygiene, have been beld si11ce Lhe 1st JallUfll'Y last (the date of our last report) but this number will be exceeded during tho ensuing year. Over 60 members of the loca l police force pos e. s certificates of proficiency i n first aid, and nursing lectures are being given to them. It is hoped that the funds will admit of an ambulance wagon being purchasell next yeltr . Ambulance hampers have been placed in cnuflpicuous positions arouud the Oity of Bloemfontein. First aid lectures have been delivered at the Grey College, the Oentral Prison, South African 00nstab\11ary Barrack, and the Oaledonian .'oeiety's rooms, also at Kl'oonstad, Smalcleel, pl'ingfontein, Heilbro11, and Jacobsdal. The Oe11tre being represented in nearly every town and village in the Colony, it is certain that each succeeuing year's results will be better than the preceeding ones.

St. J ohn A ?nbulance Association.

With reference to the approaching visit of H.RH. the Prince of IVales it was decided that an address should be prepared and presented to him ou arrival ill Judia, reportillg th0 progre s already made ill this coulltry, which addl'es~, with any answer he may be graciously pleased to give, may Le published in tIle Press. Under covel' of a letter dated lIth July, 1905, Sir Herbert Perrott, Ohief Secretary, St.J.A.A. forwarded d etailed in st ructions Cor th e guidance of the Oentral Oommittee of the Indian Branch, dnl,\\,n up by Lord Breadalbane und the Loudon Oommittee. Th ese instructious lay down vcry clearly and fully the lines along which it is desired that the expansion of the Iyork ill Imlia mny procced. It is hoped that iu tim e the wealthy and bene vol ellL classes of the population of India may provide a capital fund to meet th e CUlTellt expenditure of the OenLral OOlllllJittee out of the intere~ t accruing thercfrom, and that Pl'oviucial Oentres lllay al 0 endeavour to raise similar Provincial fuud ' ; in both these respects emulating the way the Japanese support their R ed Oross Society. At presellt tbe ollly d cfinite source of income that. the Oentral Oommittce can look to i that provid ed by the profits of the Store Depot at Bombay. Provincial C(mtl'as.-TJJe number of these, properly speaki1lg, is eight, viz., Bengal, Punjab, Balu chistan, ",ind, Ul1ited Provill ces of Agra anti Ou<.1h, BUl'llla, Bombay, and Oentral Provinces. 1n Assam, tilough a good J eal is apparently b eing done by independeut workers, th e proper organisation of a centre has not yet Lten achieved . I am in correspondence with some of the l eading oilicials, who have already promised their sympathy and support, and it is hoped that shortly t.he Dew Province of Eastel'll Bengal and Assam, which was called into existell ce ~o lately as October 15th, will have its properly organised Oentre. The Madras Oentre, I r egret to say, is still in abeyance. The latest recruit to the Provincial Oentres, that of Burma, prol11i~es to rival those of Calcutta and BOlllbay in activity a11d llrosperity. On July 7th a preliminary meeting was convened by the Lord Bishop of Rangoon to consider the p ossibility of establishing a Provincial Oentre. Among the speakers were the Bishop, Dr. Pedl ey (who mentioned th a t d etach ed classes hall ueen h eld in Rangoon as far Lack a:-:i 1883), Dr. Douglas, and Major O. H. Hal e, D.1:;.O ., RA.1\I.O. It was 1'e 'ohed that a Provincial Oelltre should be formed , and a Oommittee, with lJowt r to add to th eir 1lU~nber, was appointed. At a first meeting of this OOl1Jmittee, a letter was read from His Honor Sir H erbert \V hi te, Li e ut. -Gov el'llor, expressing his in terest in tlle formation of th e Burma Oentre, and staLilJg his willingn css to act as its Patron. The following office bearers were elected :-Patroll, His Honour Sir H erbcrt White, Lieut. -Governor i Ohairman, the Lord Bi. hop of Rangoon; Vice-Ohairman, llrg .. Oolonel T . F. Pedley, V.D. ; Ho!1. Treasurer, R ev. Thomns 'W right, B.A.; Hon. Secretary, P . A. Ohurchward, Esq. The following consented to serve on the Oommittee :-H. S. H ar tnoll, E q., 1. O. . , Oom missioner of Pegu; Oolonel Davis, 1.1I1.S.; Oolonel McOra e, 1.1\1. S . ; Major Hale, RA . ~1:.0. i Dr. A R J. Douglas, Dr. H. n. L. Joy, antI nJaung Ba hin, ;dunicipalOommissioner. Excellent reports have been r eceived from th e Honorary Secretary, and classes have been h elel or arc in COll tem plation among the Y.1I1. O. A., St. Paul's High Schonl, th e Governm ent Oollegiate School, the HallgoOll Baptis t Oollege, the Ladies in Oantonments (o rganised by 1\1rs. Harvey Ad1tl11son, wife of the Ohief Judge), the Europea n Police OOllstables, the Port Defence Volunteers, aud the Port Tl'llst. Th ose last have decided to have thl ee classes. Reports from the Bellgal and Bombay Presid ency Oentrrs shew the great es t activity, and are more satisfactory in every way. The Bombay Oelltre still enjoys thc distinctiun of being the only Indian Or::ntre whi ch has orga11i8ed divi sions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade : it possesses a Ladi es' Nursing Division alld a Parsi Division, both of which are excellently reported upon: it has been Jll'op'lsed, [Iud it is unrIer th e consid eration of a Sllb -Oomlliittee, to forDl a R esen e to augmcllt tlle Nursing Estahlishlllent in time of war, to be divid ed into two sections, (1) iOl'Duty in the Fiehl : (2) for Base Hospitals. Local Centres. -Those at Ballgalore and Jabal pore are at presellt the oIlly ones. 1'he former, with Oaptain StanJage as Honorary Secretary, appears to be doin a 0 sLcady work, as is no doubt the latter also. Native Stcttes.-As far as is known there has been no marked increase of activity among the Native States during the past year. It is hoped that sOllie impetus may be given by the visit to India of H . n.H . Lhe Grand Priol', wIto, through

" not be overlooked. Th e difficulty of gettin g classes consistently together in India " for inc;truction were such as only rail way officials conld realise. Colonel Yate added "that he had received letters frolll the Honble. Mr. J. P. H ewett, the Honble. Sir • C F. Lely and Mr. Fox-Strangways expressing regret that they conlunot attenu the " competition . "The Bishop of agpur said that the cause of the St. John Amhulance Association " was a goou one, as had b~en proved ill many ways in Great Britain, in the Oolonies " and in South Africa; but that a good cause sometimes fell to the ground for want of c, a man to work it. However, that man had been found in Oolollel Yat e, who had c, combined the command of a regiment with the con duct of the work of the 'c Association, and though tied down by his comnland to North- W est frolltier stations, " had by his pen kept the work ever growing and extending both a11long Emol'eans "and natives. It was most earnestly to be desired that there should be now no retl'O,c gl'ession. The presellce both this year and last of the Army Meuical Officers of the "station as examiners was the best possible proof that the St. John Ambulame " Associatiou had the confidence of the Army and its Medical ervices. "The examination was canied out by 1I1ajor L. Mitchell and Li eutenant L. Pallant, " of the R. A.M. O. and Major A. G. H endley, of the I. M. . Lientenall t-Oolollel O. E. " Nichol, D. S. 0., of the R. A. M.. 0., acted as Mod erator. Each team was distinguished c, by a letter knowu only to Oolouel Yate. ,\,hile the examination was goillg OIl, the " Oonrerence of Raihvay Representatives was held, Lieutenant-Oolonel Yate presiding. " The chief resolutions passed \yere these: "l. :Members of the team that wins the Challenge Shield to be debarred rrom " competing for the next five years. "2. R t'commentled that members of Railway VolunteerOorps who are not railway "employees should be allowed to compete for the Volunteer Shield . "3. Volunteers who are medical students or holo any medical degree or diploma to " be ineligiLle to comprte for the two Challenge hields. 'c 4. Noone is eligible to compcte ror both ShielCis. If a railway employee is in a " non-Railway Volunteer Corps, he can eled for which hield he will compete. "5. Sergeant Instructor of Volunteers are not to compete. "6. Proposed by Mr. George Lund and secollLled by Lieuteuant-Colonel O. E. Nichol, " D.S. O., that this Oonferellce do recommend to the agents ofrailwflYs that if pORsible "employees attending First Aid classes or the competition for the Railway hieltl " should not suffer any loss of allowances and overtime. "7. That in future it must clearly be understood that teams not arriving in time for " the commencement of the competitions will he disljualified. "8. That notable cases of saving life or limb during the past year by holders of "St. John Ambulance certificates be reported to the H onorary Org<1ui ing "Commissioner with a view to their being brought to the notice of the Cell tral " Executive Committee aL St. John's Gale. "The examination of the three teams in the suhjects laid dowll, viz., stretcher work, "carrying, artificial respiration, and treatment of injlll'ies waS conclude(l by 2 p.m. "The results were communicated by the Modrrator to 00Jone1 Yate, who then " announ ced them and awarded the Shield and prizes as nuder: "l. Winner of the Shield, the Great Indian Peninsula R ailway team, with 396 " points: awarded Rs. 106 in prizes and silver badges of merit to those who were not "in last year's team. "2.

Pamphlets conceruing ambuhnce instruction wcre circulated among tbese members aml their opinions invited as to whcther, how far, and in what way, the teaching of first ai(l to the injured might be introduced into A sam . Thc Civil Surgeon of Shillong, with the help of the Head Master (B.ev. 1111'. J. C. l~\'aDs), held, dnring the months of Junc-Augnst, a sHics of cIa ses aL the local lli gh School for SOl1S of the senior students, pupils, teaebers, and village schoolmasters from the surrounding villages. At Gauhati the Civ11 nrgeoll delivered a rcw leGtures to the profcsc;ors and studeuts of the Cotton Colleue. At first mall)' candidates signified their intentioll of joining the class, b71t practically 11011'(, attended. An attempt ",as made to make a special \'ernacular cla's 1'01' the polic(' and ot~lers who were not conver .. ant with English, but the Di Lrict npcrintendellt of Pohce was unable to artange for hi men to attcnd regularly, o\\"ing to theirheing con.tantly on duty or transfer. ,11b criptions were raised locally for pUI'l'ha ing apparatus for imparting instruction. Amuulance work at Dibrngarh has hitherto been confined to the military police. A. native officer and eleven sepoys ",('re tolll ofr by the Commandant to learn" First Aid." All Assistant Sm'gron of the Medical School.was appointed to lecture on the subject. The lectures were made as pracLical as possl.bIe. The sepoys showed considerable aptitude, especially wi th regard to bandagl~lg. They could apply bandages as skilfully as any medical stndcnt . AnatomIcal models and other articles belonain a to the local mcdical school were utilised for the pUJ1)ose of instruction. In th~ L~shai Hills Battalion instruction on "First.

A class is held yearly in this battalion, two mcn from each company being pickcr1 out to go through a course. An examination is afterwards held, and certificates arc prall~e(l to the succ~ss~ul candidatcs. In the collieries of Assam Railways and rradmg Company, Ll11uted, therc are European foremen ill charCfc who have the reC]uisite knowledge ot "First Aid," havin a crone throll crh a COl1l~ e of trainin Cf in England previous to joining the service of tll~ company~ Thc Assam and l~'l11a Valley Branches of the Indian Tea Association Wl'l'C addressed on the subiect. Th e form er replied that "as the ll1e~ical supervision of tea-~ardens is so ample awl ?Olllp~ete a~, prr.sent, the necessIty for the 'pl:OpO ed schen~e is not of pressing Impor~ance. Th e latter branch of the AssoclatlOll have n0111111ated a l'eprcsentativ(' of. then' own to serve on the Committee. The Commaurlallt of the Surma Valley Llght Horse, Silcb~r, has made alTangements for the teac1ling of "First Aid" to the m embers. of 1.1l~ corps. Th e two other COlpS at Dibrugarh and, ltillong h,we expresse!l thfll' wIllmgness to serve on the provincial committee, llUt no practiGc has yet b.een reported. From Sylhet headquarters a report has been received that no practlCal bendit woul.d rfsult in starting a course i.n the town. J 0 factorics cxist there, and hence aCCIdents occur very rarely; thus there is no 11ceel 1'01' thc pllulic to know emergency work. Th e class of people available-namely, Zeminrlars awl office. clerks-won.ld not care to attend lectures which woul(l be of no monchl1'Y benefit to them 1ll future. A non-official gentleman of that town-Ra.i Dnif'l Chandra Deb Baharl ur-has, however, taken sufficient intercst in the matter to

make some suggestions. Application has been marle to the Benrral Government for papels.

At the commencemellt of the year Dr. Traill-Thompson kindly gaye a coursc of first aid l ectures. In October, 1904, Mr. and :\Irs. R. F. Hodges kiuclly arrallged a concert at Harlesd en, which \ras a great SlH.:CeSS; and an entertainment by the Westminster Piel'l'ots at ,VemlJley also increased the fund s of that se(;tion . In. November, 1904-, an ambulance display was giYen at the ,Yillesden Adult chool, whicl: \\'as much appreciateJ. Altogether public duly has been undertaken 011 51 occaSlOns, and three transport cases were succe!:;sfully carried through. Th e COlll bined drill of No. 1. District in EppilJg Forest was thoroughly enjoyed, the practical field work being greatly appreciated . It is allvays a matter of regret when old members cease to be e.tfective members of the Di,ision, and during the year ergt. Middleditch has passed mto the reserve after 12 years' service, and in J. Tollafield, Se111'., the Harlesden Section loses one of its original 11lembers. Th e great need of the Division has been an Honorary Surgeon at H al'lesden . Dr. Norman lUacuollalLl has kimlly consented to join th e Brigade in Octoller. This will greatly aid the efficiency of tlie Division. On Saturday, September 30th, a display was givcn at the Acton Lane ,Vorks of the Metropolitan Electric Li ght Company, and it is hoped the effect will be.the formation of a first aid class among the employees and new mcmbers for U13 Bngade.

Th e Bank Holiday duties were well attended, and the whole of the work ef6ciently performed. The attendance of two members of the Cyclist Division upon these occasions was of great assis tance. T~e. ~eektoD Division also joined us, which materially lessened the work of the DlvlslOn. We b?g to thank these Divisions for the as. i tance so freely given. The Ilford SectlOn has been formed into a separate Division, to date from October 1st, 1905. This will reduce our strength by 1 Hon. Surgeon, 1 First Officer, 1 Sergeant, 2 Corporals, and 22 Privates. We wish the new Division (No. 46) every. success, and congratulate First Officer 1l1agnus upon his promotion to Supermtendent. The East Ham Borough Council have aClain extended their patronage to this Division, and have very materially assisted u;' The annual Church Parade of the Division was held on Sunday, October 23rd, 190J, and was attended by a total of 150 0f all ranks. Th e following Divisions were represented:Nos. 3, 4, 7, 10, 29, 33, 40, and No~. 4 and 8 Nursing. TIle most important local duty performed was on the occasion of the visit of T .R. H. the Prince and Princess of ,Vales to East Ham on Saturday, March 18th, 1905, wh en 69 members of all mnks were on duty, eight stations being formed on a route of 2~ miles.

The efficiency of the Division has been well maintained during the past year, although, owing to various causes, there is a decrcase in numbers. Two teams were entered for the District Preliminary Competition for the Dewar ~ hield, lJeing placed first and third respectively . A fter this excellent result it was unfortunate that our representatives did not do themselves justice in the final at Portman Rooms, only succeeding in gaining third place. A scratch team was also entered at the last moment for the Osborn Shield, only failing by two points to gain the trophy for the second time. Much public duty has been undcrtaken throughout the year, and excellent work has been done during the cricket and footba.!l seasons in the large number of lJlaying field around East D ulwich. I n the factories of Sir Joseph Causton, L td., the Division renders frequent first uid, und receiYes gratifying pmise from patients and doctors alike. It is deeply regretted that, o\ying to a fall when alighting from an electric tram on his way to a practice meeting of the Division, Dr. Brown has been on sick leave for the past three months. Thc Division looks forward to the early return of its kindly and esteemed Hon. Surgeoll, who has done so much to raise its efficiency.

By the formation of a section at St. Peter's and Broadstairs the town eli vision has con siderably increased its numbers, all the members of which are well trained ambulance men, and as snch have done good work. Drills and field practice have been continued as in former years. The nursing divisio n still continues doillg excelJent work allJ its influence is most beneficent and is of untold atlvantage to the sick pOOl' among t whom 4026 visits have been paid. Th e police divi ion excel in am bulance drill, and do excellent ,york when called upon to render fir, t aid. It is greatly regretted that the division as a whole is not efficient according to Brigade regulations on accollnt of no re-examination having been passed by the members. The n: inimU111 re(luired for" efficiency" is such, that with but little more interest anu management the w.h?l~ of this imp.ortant division would be in a high state of efficiency. The railway dlVlslon have agalll shown what men may do by sheer hard and continuous work, by their ability to win competitions-their practical work is distinctly good. All the stores are in good and serviceable condition, and the ambulance depots are maintained as usual in the to,,'l1 and railway stations, with an additional one at the General Hospital.

I ha\'e the honour to uhmit ihefollowinga my nnualReportfor ... ~o . III. District fol' the yel"l' ending 30th September, 1905. Tbe n"riou~ 'orps and Di\'i~iol1' in the eli trict luwe made considerable progress chll'ing the past year. There i' [t :-.light falling off in the numerical trength of both ambulance Imel nursing Divisions, partly owing to the weeding out of non-efficients and to the l' >.fol'ming of .. ome of the older torps and Di\"i.iol1 in the central portion of the district. On the other lutnd the interest taken in Briga,cle work is both teady and increasing, anei the Oorps and Dj"isions in the district ha\'e ne\'er been in a better stn,te of efficiency than at the pre"eut time. Eight new Divi ions hun been formed during the year, ,"iz., two in the Birmingluun '011)', one in the Leicester Oorps, one in the , VeUingborough Oorps, the , Yo]yerhnmpton Di, i::;io11, the Ooo.h'ille DiYlsion, the Leamington Di\"isioll, and the Gippeswyk Di\'ision at Ip \\'icb. All these new unit have 1)een formed iu important and populou:-; centres, and I continue to han:! .-everal enquil'ie . ,,,ith regard to the formation of new clivi 'ions in ':triou' parts of the di trict. \ Vith the energetic help of my district st!1.ff eYery unit was inspected during the ye,H'. 'rhe 13i l'mingham, ::\" ortlmmpton, L icestel', and \Vellingborough Oorp , held their ;tnnulll inspection during the SUlllmer months, when, a.s U Ultl, these g:1therings partook more of the Chltl'i1.ctel· of an ttl11huln,llce review. The weltthel' on each occa ion was l)eautifully fine, und there were exceptioll<tlly good mn tel's, the fir t aiel work [1.ncl field drill being w[1.tched by a htrge and influential company. I attach much impol'tlUlce to these n.nnmtl inspection. being held on aturdn-J afternoon, the lllusters are good, the field work not only iuteresting but in tructive, and the presence of spectn,tor::; keeps up the esprit de corps, and forms :1 good recruiting ground for nutinbtining the strength of the Corp::l. The report, of the inspecting Officers were uniformly good, a.nd ,A. sistn,nt· 'ommi' ioner \Voolston, who in pected the llmjority of the S!lmUer units, ::;t:tte' that con iclemble progre has been made in efficiency and discipline, a.nd tlutt the pntctical work of the Brig,tde Illtd been carried out in ,t satisfltctOl'Y maun 1' . 'The ,,,nmu,,} Di-;trict Oamp of Tn truction was held hom June 10th to 15th, on a field at H Olton, by the kind permis ion of Mr. G. n . \Vinterbottom. Officers fi:nd men to the numher of over 300 were present, a large incrense on lttst year, prOYIng h ow pOpUh11' these cnmps of in'tl'ucLiol1 (l.1'e.

Th e weather unfortunately spoilt some of the early parades, but on the Monday at the commanding Officer' parade a scheme deyi ed by the camp adjntilllt wa~ worked out and proyed of great utility. Two bearer companie' were formed exactly under R. ~~.M . . condition with transport and r ser\'e' . Patients with label» ::;howing injuries "ere di tributed oyer the country. The tretchel' S(luad' search'd for and treated the patients, bringing them to a collecting t<.tion whence they were pas,;ed on to a dre sing station, where C?ief urgeon' Aucllallcl and X el 'on e:-..pla.inctl to the men who treated the cases any mlstake" c e. .A new departure in ambulance competition \Va initiated throll',h the gencro ity of Lieut. -Colonel H, 'V. K. Markham, who wished to encourage the a,yerage ambulance man, and not only a picked squad, to train himself in the llutie' that be "'ould haw to perform if called upon to sen-e w-ith the army 111 time of emergency, a 11l the late outh African 'Yar. The competition, beside. un examination III first aid, included the pitching and h-iking a tent, the duties of a, stretcher bearer at and after au engagement, &c. Colonel Murkham presented a handsome cup to be lmOWll a' " the Oamp Cup for promoting field training," to be competed for annually, und also money prize to the amount of £-:1. s. The cup wus won by u Birmingham team, Pytchlq, Dudl ey, and Foleshill being next in order. I am 'trongly of opinion t hl.t this competition conducted on entirely new line will bi\ e the lllen more insight ill to field work than they eyer had before, und I am per::;onally Yery gl'il.teful to olouel Markham for hi great kindlle, s. On Tu e~day, the Chief Commi sioner inspected the camp, and witnes»ecl some bearer company practice, and uu 'equently 11l addre::;::;illg the Brigl\(le, spoke of tbe valuable nature of the \york done while in cnmp. In concluding this report, I wi -h to add a word of thanks to the memher" of th· district stuff not only for the great amount of help they 11llYe <'lnm me 111 this Inr~e district, but for the zeal and untiring energy they at all time::; displ:.y III Drig-ade work.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY COnInn SIOI ER.

fR,-

DOE HILL Hou, E, EAR ALFRETON, DERBYf3IHRE, October, 1905.

I have the honour of submitting my report for the yea.r endinf eptember 30th, 1905. I am glad to report continued increase in the members of the Brigade in this District chu'ing the year, and a better state of general efficiency than I have known. The new Corps anll Divisions formed during the ye:tr have been encouraging, aud several more are in course of formation. The total of Brigade members notwithstanding that one or two important corps have ceased to eXlst, being the largest I have had the hononr to report-the numbers being 3,390, as against 3,133. The whole or nearly so, wearing the regulation ulliform of the Brigade. I am glael to "'eport the formation of new nursing divisions without which 110 divi 'ion or corps can be considered complete. The ambulance work connected with the King's visit to Sheffield on July 12th was admirably done by units from various corps in my district, 281 being on parade, treating some 1,200 cases in the streets during the day. The arrangements were under the command of my District Chief Superintendent, and reflects the greatest credit on him for the way the whole of the work was carried out. The men and nnrses being Oll duty from 10 in the morning till 6 at night. I am pleased to report that owing to the interest and energy displayed by my ,'taIT most, if llOt all, of the corps and divisions have been inspected during the year, and on the whole their reports as to their effectiveness are most satisfactory. The second allllual (lamp was held at Blackpool this year during Whit week and was most sllccessful, .attended by no less than 316 officers and men. The conduct of the men during the whole time was most excellent, and they were much improved by their week under (lanvas. TheOamp reflected the greatest credit on the men and officers who were in command, and here again I mu t express my thanks to District Chief Superintendent Else, Chief SU~'geon E. Barker Barber and my District Superintendent ecretary Ratcliff, who carned out the very onerous duties that devolvell on them to my entire satisfaction. held the inspection on the Wednesday, the men were exceedingly smart in :aU theu' movements and ambulance work, while the camp was a pattern one. It is to be hoped another camp will be held next year, as I cannot speak too highly of the value of the week's training to both officers anelmen. It must not be lost sight of, :h0:w~ver, that all ex,Penses are borne by the men themselves, and I must express my .OplllIOll that some aIel ought to be g iven on occasions of this kind to help a movement ~hat h1l:s proved itself of such value to the country as in the last war. I made an -1l?-S:p~CtlOU of over 300 men on July 29th at Tibshelf, at which the following corps and ,dlvIsIOns were represented : -Sheffield, Eastwood, Tibshelf, Birchwood, Mansfield,

Corps supported by annual subscriptions. A squad of men took part in the annual J:>ublic duty at the Gala held at Pee~ ~a~'k, Bradfonl, on ,Ybit Monday aud Tuesday, 1905. The members of the DlvIslon turned up in strong force at the annual inspection held August 16th, H105, at the Fire Brigade Station, Nelson Street. On Septemher 26th, 1905, the members were given an opportunity of attending the annual re-examination, but unfortunately only 17 memuers were able to be present, the majority of the absent ones being on duty. Unfortunately the duty of tram,Yay men interferes with the attendance at practices and other parades. The Tramway Committee have kindly granted us a room for practices, etc., in the centre of the city, which, I think, ·will encourage the members, and we shall be able to show a better result next year. It is with regret that I have to announce the retirement of our Superintendent F. ehofield, who has removed from this city, having been appointed to the position of General Manager to the Ley ton Corporation Tramways, Octouer 1st, 1905.

Besides the various duty pal'ar1es attended at home, members of both Divisions \yere on duty at Sheffield upon the occasion of the Royal visit. A most useful practice was held on Iliarch 1 th, when supposed accident in some quarry workings were treated in first aid by the men, brought into a station. and thence sent by litters and ambulance \raggon to a base hospital established in some neigh bouring schools, and here taken in charge and treated by the nursing sisters. At our annual Chlll'ch Parade, in St. Matthew's Church, Rastrick, a new departure was made respecting the disposal of the collection. This was kinr1ly handed over to 11S by the Vicar, and forwarded to head-quarters for the benefit of the Hospital of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. lYe are pleased to be able to notice a satisfactory increase in numbers since making the last report.

REPORT OF THE A • 1 TA T OO~UII

101 ER .

.....:IH\

I have the honour of submitting my report for the ye:1l' ending eptember 30th, 1905. The eli.. trict i~ m:1de up of 1 Corps with diyi ions lU Hull, and 13 dinsions in orthumbel'hmd n.nd Durh:1m. I mn gla.d to inform you that the inten"iew I had with the N.E.R. delega.tes at York, ha 1'e ulted in some 72 men in Hull, a, sisted by my very old friend, Dr. Stotha.rd, and Mr. 'Y. N. Btl.rtle, as upermtendent, expre ed a de ire to form a orth Eastern Railway Corps there, and I feel a ' ured that should you sanction thi forma.tion, many other cliyision ",ill form from the 1\. E.R. Centre. I ha.cl gren.t hopes that we ~houlcl luwe largely increased our numbers from the Cleveland eli ·trict, and Mr. J. J. Baine's mining district . .After much thought ,md careful con ' idcra.tion they all agree to remain where they are, nOr can I convince them thn.t their vll.l'ious league working with the ame object would vastly improve their sta.tlls and the knowledge of their illdi\"idual members, hesides the grell.ter recognition from the c, Orller" for continuous elTices by their joining the Brigade. They all prefer to work on in their own 'VH.y to obt,t,m the coveted medallion of the As ociation, and tru t that their League competitions which permit of some few men winning a prize from ye;\l' to year to be of sufficient merit as to infu e interest in the whole of their member", and to qlHl.lify them 3,' a body equal with members of the I3rign,de, who'le uDit are system:1tically re-examined and in pected yearly, and who e high stanclard of efficiency i vouched for not in the few, bu t in every instance. Much work has heen done by the divi ions during the pa t twelye months, and progress is being made to carry out the intention of the Hull Corp to build headquarters in the city. With a view of increasing the eSjJ"it cle C01'PS the staff haye in ha.nd many competitions for the en 'lling year, viz., the Deputy-Oommis ioner's Oup, the District taff Oup, anr1 subscriptions have been received by me towll.l'cl other trophies from the lYbrquis of Londonderry, the Duke of Northumberland, Lords Arm trong and Barnard, the Lord Bishop of Durham, :'IiI' , VaUer Plummer, hf.P. , W. . R ob on, K.G., 1f.P. , Geo. Renwick, E'q., M.P., A. R . lmmbel'lfl.yne, Esq., an d by Dr. Cre:1se, from M essrs. J oomer & Co., Scott & Mountain, the Northern

Press and 1\1 E.rcantile Dock Co., and more is expected from ship owners and mining bodies to fOl'm a prize fund for competition uetween divisions and hold ers of first aid certificates in the district. A District Camp is to be formed at Homsea in August, 1906, and promises to be well attended. The whole of the in pections have passed off with much credit to all concerned. The re-examinations have been carefully conducted by the District Chief urgeon. Dr. Crease, and the Ron. Smgeons, and all the divisions fuund well up in the theory and practice of their work, and the interest in the work generally is well maintained . Much public work has been performed, and stores are accumulating, and are much used by the residents in the various districts where divisions meet. The District Chief Surgeon reports that the divisions near here were all examined in first aid, and the various reports forwarded, with the exception of Cramlington, which has not been sent in. The Divisional Surgeons, one and all, carried out their instructions as regards the conduct of the examinations and inspection of the surgical appliances in possescion of each division, and are thus able to report that all are in a satisfGtctory state. r likewise express ~my thanks to the M edical Officers of the divisions in this district for their co-operation and ready assistance on all occasion . r regret ,ery much that the Auxiliary Royal Naval ick Berth R eserve does not r eceive that recognition it deserves, but trust the new year will not only see the district largely increased, but a Reserve formed of no mean size. r desire to express my gratitude to the di trict staff for their co-operation and support during the past, and with their grea,ter desire to do more, I am confident that our united efforts will materially increase the membership and u efulness of the Brigade in the north. }\tIy thanks, too, are due to those donors towards our prize fund for " \ Villing workers of a noble band," antl to the workers themselve , men and women, who have made my duties light and pleasant by their kindness and courtesy. r ha,e the honour to be, iI', YonI' obec1ient er\'ant,

An ambulance cabinet for the toring of all material l)ossetOsed has been obtained.

Tbis is a proof tbat first aiders :1lld wall boxes were never more needed than they are at the Alexandra Dock. \Ve also feel proud to mention that this division represented the H. B.

lOXER. HRE\V:3EURY, November 7th, 1905.

I It,

I have the honour to forward you my annual report for the pa't year. Durina this period new uuit, have been formed at the followina' places :-Blaina. Aberaav~nny 0 ' 0 T l'e·Iler b ert,. II er~ford (two divisions), Aberfttn, Wellington G. oW. R., l\Ierthyr Vale,) and one umt winch hn,d dt'opped out, hn,' now become an active and useful dinsion. Nearly all the Corp' and Divi 'ions htwe beeu inspected by me or one or other of the district .. tuff, tu whom I offer my grateful th,mks not only for thi-, but also for the zen,l which they h l\,e thrown into the work, and it is encoul'Cvrincr to find as the re:;ult of their inspections that reports of a most favourable nat~'e °come to hand. ::\Iy D;:;trict 'hief urgeou has been yer}' alert to test the knowledge of the divisions which he ha in pected tl' to their fir::;t <lid. l<'spent my annual holicla.y in going through the colliery district, of orne parts of \Va.Jes and Monmuuth, and W,t' much impressed ,vith the zen,l 'hmvn by the new di,·i'liol1!;. But on the other ha,nd it wa,s borne in upon me the great need of more fir:>t aid, followed by Brigc),de work in the e parts. To mention one place only, where there were 70 r.:l'rtificate holder' annngst 3,000 collier:>, but here through the splendid effort' of the lor.::1.l doctors. we h'we two clivi 'ions anel five first ,),id cb,'se' in progre s. North \Vales has been carefully "isited by the district 'ta.fl', but i'=i ~low to move, wlth the exception of Bla.ne,1,U Fe:tiniog a.nd Baja, where we hope to ta.rt ,,-ork next ye,u·. ~ T ewport, :\Ion., is to be congratuhlted upon its ucce" in "'inning the A ciation 'hielcl ,.nel the Dewa.r Trophy, as is al'o Portma-doc in secming the Cambrian hield, for the . econd time. The p,l. t year hilS been one of stefl,cly progre s fl,nd con 'olidation. Haying in the di. trict uch large area,' where Brig,ttle work i alm:rt unknO\Yll, it follow' th ..),t gre,tt efforts and 1l1,l,l1y visit, become nece "ary before our work is thoroughly gmsped: and a vi"it i' productive of more results than all the conespondencc. \ Ve have good re<1. on to hope thn,t the Roy,.l N av,),l ""ick Berth Re el'ye will be Iuch useful work of a public nature has been represented in the district next ye,1.l'. done by the various units, a., i' recorded in their annual report': and om best thanks are due to those Officers of Corps ,),nd Divi ion for bringing their member to uch a high state of efficienC'y, and especi,)'lly to the honorary urgeons for their devotion to <luty. I \vi'h to place on record the grea.t los' which the di trict ha' u'tailled by the untimely de,.th of the D istrict Chief uperintendent, Dr. A. D. Griffith', a more v,),luable Officer it would be impo sible to obtain, and the ddrict join' with me in deploring hi , sudden end. r.rhrough the kindness of his friends his memory will be perpetuated in ,1, permc),nent ml),nner. It is pleasing to be able to state thl1t General ir Chl1r1es ,Van'en hl1 mo t generously give n a vl1lua.ble trophy for the hard-working It.ds in the Rhondda Valley, and the district takes this opportunity of offering to him it gra.teful thank'.

In ubmitting my econd annual report upon the t .

Xur'ing division' were formed at Oamaru, Owaka, and Palmerton ~ orth. Twelve months ago the local membership of the Brigade tood at 170, while this year it tanc!' at 35~"'-a ati ,factory acb-ance. In my uext annual report I hall be able to include a nursing di\'i 'iOll formed at Auckland, and I hope that at Christchurch also, uch a unit will be org3.nized. There are a number of town in the Colony where I nnticipate that ere long the Brigade ,,'ill gain a footing. Already I 11<1-"e received a good many el1l1uirie, for further information in reference to the ohject" and work of the Brigade. t the larger centre:; members have been called upon to carry out a con iderable amount of tran 'pOrt duty, and the demand in this direction made upon the BriO'ade are steadily increasing. 0 Iuterest in the work continue to he well maintained by all rank , and the further prosp ct::; of the Brirrade are decidedly promising. ppenc1ed is a tabulated statement howing the dettlils of the strength lD Tew Zealand.

The resi!!l1ation of Dr, Elizabeth Platts-Mills was accepted with regret, and Dr. Isa"bel ,"latson was appointed as Hon, Surgeon. During the winter months fortnightly meetinO's were held, and Dr, '\Vatson delivered some most instructive lectures. The committee is most grateful to those ladies and gentlemen who contributed to the fund for nursing the indigent. A proposal was brought fonvard to augment the nurse fund, and subsequently a committee was formed and bazaar held. Thanks to the strenuons efforts of everyone intere ted, the re ults were eminently satisfactory, over £900 being raised for the fund. It is hoped that a second profe sional nurse will shortly be appointed, Dr. '\Vatson having resigned, Dr. Bennett has been appointed Honorary Surgeon.
