THE CHAPTER-GENERAL has the honour to submit to the Members, Associates and Donats its Report for the year 1924. The Festival of St. John, usually held on St. John the Baptist's Day, was held in the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell, on 23rd June, the Eve of St. John's Day. At 8 a.m. Holy Communion was celebrated in the Chapel of St. John the Almoner in the ancient crypt by the Rector, the Rev. T. C. Elsdon, a Chaplain of the Order.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICE AND CENERAL ASSEMBLY.

At 3 p.m. the Annual Commemoration Service was held. H.R.H. The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General met at St. John's Gate and walked in procession to the Church, where a large congregation had assembled, including H.R.H. Princess Beatrice, H.R.H. Princess Louise (Duchess of Argyll) and the Marchioness of Carisbrooke. The service was taken by the Re,'. T. C. Elsdon and the sermon was preached by the Prelate, the Archbishop of York. At the close of the service the Annual General Assembly of Members and ssociates of the Order was held in the Chapter Hall at St. John 'S Gate, 1ajor-General the Earl of Scarborough, the Sub-Prior, presiding over a crowded meeting. In opening the meeting the Sub-Prior said : " The Assembly this afternoon is held for the purpose of receiving reports on the work of the Grand Priory during the past year, but first I am commissioned by the Grand Prior to thank all present for their attendance, and to offer a specially cordial welcome to our members from overseas. They have been brought to London this summer in unusual number . by reason of the Empire Exhibition and advantage has been taken of their coming to bring them in touch with the Grand Priory. This morning we have held a conference of representatives from the Dominions and India and the Colonies with our Executive Officers in order to exchange views, to compare our methods of working and improve them where we can and generally for the purpose of developing the interests of the Order throughout the Empire. I am pleased to say the Conference revealed that we are a united family intent on extending our work for humanity in every way possible. With this latter object in view His Majesty as our Sovereign Head has been graciously pleased to announce his intention of holding an investiture himself of recently appointed Members and Associates, including all from overseas who are available, at Buckingham Palace on St. John's Day, which is to-morrow.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

INVESTITURE BY

H.M.

THE KING

This signal honour, unique I believe in our history, emphasises the King s personal interest in and recognition of the value of the voluntary work which is being quietly and continuously performed by our members and workers throughout the Empire in the cause of humanity. It is a gracious act undertaken at the busiest time of a strenuous season which I am confident will be highly appreciated. It cannot fail to encourage that spirit of service which had its origin in the first crusade to recapture the Holy City and which coming down throughout the centuries is reDected to-day in all our ambulance work, and is the foundation and mainspring of our utility to the community-that great general public of the Empire which it is our duty to serve.

Brigade and the ambulance competitions held in connection with the Brigade and the Railways.

/( The changes and appointments among our principal officials since you last met, which it is my duty to report, are as follows : -

INVESTITURE BY

/( Sir John Hewett, who for six years has held the office of Chancellor, which is the highest executive office next to the Prelate, has been selected by the Grand Prior to be Bailiff of Egle, which post has been vacant since the lamented death of Sir Herbert Perrott. Sir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, a very staunch supporter of the Order and whose family for a long period of years has been closely associated with the history of the Grand Priory, becomes Chancellor in his place. General Dalton has been appoin t d Honorary Bailiff by the Grand Prior in recognition of his long and valuable services, especially in connection with overseas. /( Sir Geoffrey Feilding, who was Secretary-General. has been obliged to resign on appointment to an Active Command in the Army, and has been succeeded by Sir Percival vVilkinson, who has also been appointed Director of Ambulance, and a whole time official, in place of Lord haftesbury, whose duties as Lord Steward, unfortunately for the Order, have obliged him to resign his Directorship.

Sir Courtauld Thomson, the Chairman of the Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem, reported steady progress at the Hospital, which, he said, was yearly becoming more efficient and more completely equipped. Votes of thanks to the Prelate for preaching the anniversary sermon, to the Rector for making the arrangements for the service and to the nb-Prior for presiding, concluded the proceedings.

H.M. THE KINe.

On St. John the Baptist's Day, 24th June, His Majesty The King, the Sovereign Head and Patron of the Order, held an Investiture of Members and Associates in the Ball Room at Buckingham Palace.

The following account is quoted (by the kind permission of the Editor) from The Titnes of June 25th : The gathering of Knights and other Members and Associates of the Ord r of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England at Buckingham Palace yesterday morning, for the Investiture which was held by the King as overeign and Patron of the Order in this country, was a curiously faithful epitome alike of the history of the Order and of its present activities throughout the world. There were assembled on this occasion, the first in some eight hundred recorded years on which the reigning o\'ereign of these realms has so honoured the Order, men and women of eyery rank and walk in life, at home and in the Dominions oversea, diverse in every outlook and activity, save that they are united in the bonds of the Order and under its Banner and inspiration for the service of the poor and the suffering.

/( Lastly, Sir James Clark, Chief Commissioner of the t. John Ambulance Brigade since 1911, felt compelled to resign his active command at the end of the year. His administration of the Brigade covered tIle whole period of the War during which, as we know, that body performed remarkable service for the co un try under his guidance. I venture to assert that it would be difficult to point to a finer example of continuous voluntary work than that given by Sir James during the long and strenuous period of his control. Sir Percival Wilkinson has temporarily taken 0\ er his duty as Acting Chief Commissioner, and I will caU upon him as Secretary-General and Director of Ambulance to present his reports of the Order's work during the past year,"

.'..nd the ceremony itself was, in its nature, unusual and remarkable in ~l Royal Court, indicative of the fact that the Knights of St. John take pride in their splendid past as a religious and military order, and lay emphasis upon the difference that there is between their confreres and the members of any other British Order. In most cases the insignia of such honourable bodies is conferred in recognition of past service to the Crown. The Cross of t. John may imply some such reward, but it is chiefly a badge of an ever-present duty and a reminder of work still to be done. For these reasons it was most proper tha t the actual ceremonial Investi ture should have been preceded and followed by the Prelate's prayers, by the obligation of the Postulants, the exhortation of the Grand Prior, by versicles, and by a final Benediction.

The Secretary-General then reported on the scheme of reorganisati on which had been passed by Chapter General whereby a Staff Committee of the St. John Ambulance Association was created, a certain number of members of which together with others from the existing Brigade taff Committee proceed to the Ambulance Committee (which had been reorganised) and to Council and Chapter-General, this arrangement making for continuity in the work of these bodies and closer touch with all departments. He also touched briefly on the work and exhibits of the Order at the Empire Exhibition, the new Voluntary Aid Detachment scheme, the year's work of the St. John Ambulance Association and

The congregation was assembled in the Throne Room when, to the sound of solemn music, the procession of the Duke of Connaught, the Grand Prior, swept in , preceded by the processional crucifix of the Order, on which the eight-pointed Cross of St. John appears, as it were, a nimbus behind the head of Our Lord. The Grand Prior, his Officers, and the Knights of Justice were habited in the long black mantles, insigned with the familiar white cross/( of Malta," and, as many of them were in fulldress uniform, underneath gleams of scarlet appeared through the openings of the mantles, just as they did of old when the knights had donned their scarlet war panoply under their black cloaks.

INVESTITURE BY H.M. THE KING

The Knights of Justice formed a semi-circle behind their Grand Prior, who stood in the centre ready to welcome the King and Queen, who had their own procession, composed chiefly of those members of the Royal Family who hold rank in the Order. The King's arrival was heralded by a ruffle of drums from the band, which was in a gallery, and the strains of the Royal Anthem. His Majesty was in military uniform and wore the riband of the Garter. The members of the Royal Family present on the dais on either side of the King and Queen were the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, Viscount Lascelles, Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught, Princess Helena Victoria, and Princess Marie Louise. So far the dominant note of t.he procession and of the ceremony which immediat.ely ensued was indicative, as it were, of the religious and military history of t.he Order, for, when the Order was founded in the early years . of the t.welfth century, the Church of necessity had to take under its wing so valuable an organisation dedicated to self-denying work for the service of humanity. he fully realised that amid the barbarous rigours of that ferocious age it was the only way to preserve and make possible the continuance of such work, which was indeed a branch of her own civilising and humanising mission in Christendom. Later, when the enemies of the Faith interfered with armed force to extirpate that Faith and to put an end to the activities of the Order, its Knights had to use the temporal sword in defence of their activities, which were spiritual in inspiration even if they were concerned with human lives and bodies. It is to the lasting credit of the chivalrous aladin that he first ofthe Moslem Kings, after overthrowing the Knights and slaying their Grand Master in open war, specially authorised certain of the survivors to remain in Jerusalem when he took it in 1187, in order that the H ospital might still be served for the welfare of all. That the military side of the Order's activities has now passed into history was made clear in the great gathering on which the King looked down from his dais, for, apart from those in the uniform of the Ambulance Brigade, many \vere present in purely lay or civil apparel, or in the varied uniforms of nursing sisters or hospital services, and the very music played while the ring actually conferred the insignia of the Order on their recipients seemed to suggest that the activities of the Order were very much of to-day, and that if the Past is full of inspiring memories to its sons and daughters of the present, there is nothing that could be criticised as being old-fashioned or obsolete about the Order in that it hampered them in their work by undue insistence upon ancient forms or precedents. As the last to be invested, two policemen who had earned the medal of St. John by saving life at great risk to their own, walked away, the Religious ideal reappeared in the music and the final prayers. Then, after greeting individually the Knights of Justice and Officers of the Order, their Majesties passed out, leaving the brilliantly coloured and widely representative assembly to break up. A final and pleasing touch of modernity was supplied when the mantled Knights went out into the sunlight of the Palace Garden to be photographed in the sombre robes which were conferred upon their predecessors by Pope Alexander IV., in the reign of King Henry III.

He shll managed to .keep his hold on the reins, and a few yards further on brought the horse to a sta.ndshll by holding, with his disengaged hand, on to a gate. The act was t~e mor~ praIs~worthy as the boy saw a large number of children returning to school ImmedIately III front

Joseph Davies, Birmingham City Police,

On 19 t h January, 192 4, at 5.40 p.m., seven children (brothers and sisters) attempted to cross Bristol Road, Birmingham. The elder, Emma Saunders, aged seventeen, intended to take her brother, aged four, by the hand to cross the roadway, but her attention was attracted by her sister, aged fourteen, and whilst turning round the boy dashed across the road in front of a tramcar proceeding towards the city and a motor van proceeding in the opposite direction. P.C. Davies, who was on duty near by, observing the danger of the child, dashed in front of the moving tramcar, but being unable to get hold of the child, threw himself full length in front of the motor van and succeeded in pushing the child to safety. The driver applied the brakes and stopped the van with the front wheel touching the constable, who, fortunately, was uninjured and able to take the child home.

To James Lyons, labourer, of Birmingham, a Certificate of Honour. At 4.15 p.m., on 26th February, 1924, James Lyo.ns ~aw a powerfu.l railway horse attached to a lorry galloping along Warwick Road, BIrmlllgham, a busllless thoroughfare carrying heavy vehicular and pedestrian. traffic. L):"ons jumpe.d on to t~~ lorry, but found it was impossible to secure the relllS . Jumplllg off agalll and seIzrng the side of the vehicle he gradually ran to the horse's head, succ~e~ed i~ getting t:old of the bridle and stopping the horse in time to prev~n.t a colli.SlO~ WltI: a stationary motor car. He incurred the danger of personal lllJUry while Jumpmg on and off the lorry and of being jammed between it and the tramway standards and moving and stationary vehicles in the road.

To Constable 577 D. Saunders, Metropolitan Police, a Bronze Medal. At II.25 a.m., on 29th March, 1924, Police Constable Saunders, whilst in rear of • o. 14 Shed, King George V. Dock, London, saw a horse attached to an empty van galloping towards him. Seeing it to be a runaway the Constable caught hold of the tailboard and climbed into the van. On reaching the driver's seat he found the reins had dropped between the horse and the shafts. He then clambered over the front of the van, jumped on to the horse's back and grasped the reins close to the bridle, thereby bringing the horse to a standstill.· It had by that time travelled about 500 yards.

To Joseph Staniel, packer, of Fulham, a Certificate of Honour. At 10.30 p.m., on 1St April, 1924, a horse attached to an uncovered van owned and driven by Mr. B. McCauley, bolted (owing to the trace breaking) in Lillie Bridge, Fulham, London, S.W. Joseph Staniel who, with several pedestrians, was waiting nearby for an omnibus, ran into the roadway and got hold of the back of the van, the horse being then at full gallop. He succeeded in climbing into the van, and reached the horse's reins which were hanging on the front of the van. The horse took a zig-zag course, but Staniel steered it clear of other traffic on the road, and eventually brought it to a standstill before reaching the cross road at North End Road and Lillie Road, which is a busy crossing. The horse ran about 400 yards before Staniel succeeded in stopping it. In doing so he received injury to his left hand and at his ,own personal risk probably averted a serious accident.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL.

To William James Moore, of Chadwell Heath, a Certificate of Honour. At 7,45 p.m., on 5th April, 1924, at Rosebery Avenue, London, E.C ., as a uncovered cart draVlIl by a heavy horse driven by William Smith was proceeding east, the back-band of the harness broke and Smith jumped down from his seat to attend to it. The horse bolted, the wheels of the empty van passing over Smith's lefi! leg. William James Moore, at considerable personal risk, advanced into the roadway to endeavour to stop it. It swerved on to the pavement and sidestepping, :Moore caught its bridle and managed to pull it round on to a lamp-standard, this proving a help as the wheel caught on to it and the horse came to a standstill. The horse galloped about 100 yards before being stopped and would have dashed into a shop window had he continued much farther.

To William Rowland, labourer, of Brixton, London, S.W., a Certificate of Honour. On 26th April, 1924, Leonard Purkis was driving a L. and N.E.R. van along Brixton Road when the offside rein broke and the horse bolted. Purkis jumped from the front of the van to try to stop the horse, but fell. The horse galloped towards Kennington, and William Rowland, who was on a bicycle, rode alongside of it for about ISO yards before he was able to catch hold of the reins. He was then thrown from his bicycle, which was run over by the van, but he succeeded in bringing the horse to a standstill without injury to himself.

To John Halpin, fitter improver, of Barrow, a Bronze Medal. On the morning of 1st May, 1924, at the works of the Barrow Haemahte Steel Co., a youth named James Cavanagh was working inside a steel fan casing of the gas cleaning plant when an alarm was raised that he was in difficulties. John Halpin. who was working near, immediately entered the fan casing to render assistance. Probably owing to the struggles of Cavanagh, both fell and became jammed head downwards in the casing in such a position as entirely to block the only entrance, and both soon became unconscious. They remained in that position for about twenty minutes until a hole had been burned in the steel casing, oxygen and compressed air being admitted in the m eantime. The plant had been out of commission for some weeks and whilst it is improbable that gas was present it is certain that obnoxious fumes were in the casing. There is no doubt that Halpin when going to the assistance of Cavanagh fully believed that the fan ca.sing contained gas and that he was risking his own life in doing so.

To William Magowan Reid, postman, of Bangor, N. Wales, a Bronze Medal.

J ORN

To Joseph Webber, of Barncoose, Illogan, a Bronze Medal. On 1st September, 1924, John Veal, aged nineteen, while blackberrying, fell down a disused mine shaft at Tolskithy, Illogan. The local policeman was informed of the occurrence and procured some ropes and Joseph Webber volunteered to go down the shaft. With the assistance of several men, he was lowered to where Veal was lying and brought him up, when it was found that he had a compound fracture of the right leg below the knee and a large scalp wound. First aid was rendered by the policeman and Veal was conveyed to hospital. The police report states that there was imminent danger of the ground at the top of the shaft falling in on Veal and his rescuer, in which case they would have been buried alive.

To Joshua Frederick Greatorex, postman, of Sheffield, a Certificate of Honour. On the evening of 15th September, 1924, Greatorex, while delivering letters, was informed that a bulldog was worrying a boy in a room in 167, Crookes, Sheffield, and that a man who had gone to the boy's assistance had been bitten and had retired. Immediately entering the house he found a large bulldog dragging a boy of eight round the room by his arm. Greatorex immediately grabbed both dog and child and endeavoured to separate them. Finding the dog would not loose its grip he attacked it with the poker and fire irons but without avail. Eventually he pulled the boy through the door and jammed the dog's head between the door and doorpost, holding it there until the dog became exhausted and released its hold. In the opinion of eye witnesses he undoubtedly saved the boy's life.

The pony bolted some distance, dragging the van with it, when Curry sprang at its head and pulled the pony towards the curb. He was knocked down and dragged some distance before the pony stopped. Curry escaped injury but had a false tooth knocked out.

To Frederick Henry Denyer, tramway car conductor, of Plaistow, a Certificate of Honour. On 22nd August, 1924, four heavy dray horses were being led along the Broadway at Stratford, when they were startled by a brass band. A man who was riding one o~ them was thrown and the horses began to gallop away when Denyer jumped off hIS tramway car, rushed to the horses and catching the nearest by the bridle brought them to a standstill with difficulty, after a run of about thirty yards.

to the great distance and other considerations. These Central Councils under able and energetic chairmen are doing much good work. Just as Overseas Central Councils have been established so also at home re-organisation is proceeding and County Committees are being established to co-ordinate the work of the Order in the various Counties. The Ambulance Department of the Order was able to lend considerable assistance throughout the period of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley. Quite apart from the daily voluntary personnel provided by the St. John Ambulance Brigade, the Association supplied half the drugs, dressings, etc., required. In addition a new and up-to-date motor ambulance was provided, which has since been transferred to the Invalid Transport Corps. A conference of representatives of Centres of the Association and Districts of the Brigade Overseas was held at St. John's Gate on 23 rd June, the Sub-Prior of the Order presiding. An account of the proceedings has been published and it is hoped that the conference will become an annual event. The Invalid Transport Department at St. John's Gate carried 2,483 patients during the year, the mileage run being 54,15 0 . During the year 1,599 cases were treated at the St. Paul's Ambulance Station. The Association issues a separate report, which can be obtained on application to St. John's Gate.

" There has also been a great increase in the demands made by factories and other works for our help, due in part to the Factory Act of 1923. t< There has also been a steady increase in the number of Ambulances operated by Divisions. The strength of the Brigade on the 31St December, 19 24, was as follows :-

Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, the Acting Chief Commissioner, reports as follows: AMBULANCE "I should like to express my indebtedness to the BRICADE. Commissioners and other Officers of my staff for the support they have given me in my first year of office. " During the year 37 Ambulance and 21 Nursing Divisions have been formed and 29 Ambulance and 44 Nursing Divisions have been disbanded. The disbandments would at first appear to indicate a backward movement during the period under review, but this is not so, as the Divisions disbanded should have been struck off the Roll last year, but were given a year's grace in which to complete their establishment, which unfortunately they were unable to do. "The Brigade is strengthened rather than weakened by the disappearance of these weak units as their place has been taken by an almost equal number of strong and keen divisions, and there has been a substantial increase in the actual personnel of the Brigade. " This increase in numbers in many cases hardly keeps pace with the increased demand for First Aid and Nursing, and the many other calls on the Brigade. " In the first place there was the call of the British Empire Exhibition, where during alternate months the Brigade furnished over 90 hours duty a day, with a personnel drawn from all parts of England and Wales and Ireland.

" The increase in the number of Cadet units and Cadet membership is most gratifying and promises well for the future. It clearly shows that there is need for such a movement to enable boys and girls inclined toward ambulance work to obtain the necessary instruction. « I t will in time to come be a very successful recruiting ground for the Brigade. "The Sub-Prior, acting on behalf of H.R.H. the Grand Prior, has approved the following appointments : To be Assistant Commissioners: District Officer Capt. L. H. R. Claydon, Central Area, No. I District. District Officer E. Trounson, for the County of Cornwall, NO.9 District. District Officer Capt. O. F.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL. W. H. Chambers, as Assistant Commissioner, South Eastern Area, West Riding of Yorks, NO.5 District. A. W. Faire, C.B.E., as Assistant Commissioner, County of Leicester, No. 3 District. Sir William Clare Lees, K.B.E., as Assistant Commissioner, No. 4 District. Capt. L. H. R. Claydon, as Assistant Commissioner, Central Area, No. I District. " The work undertaken by the Brigade now extends to nearly every sphere of ambulance service. "My thanks are due to the Police and the Civil Authorities who continue to support, assist and encourage the Brigade. " During the period under review, 250,000 cases of accident and sudden illness have been treated. "Increased interest has been taken in the organisation of Medical Comforts Depots, from which the sick poor and needy may obtain comfort and medical requisites. " The admirable spirit which has prompted the effort of those engaged in the Motor Transport work of the Brigade merits special comment. This work involves the greatest self-sacrifice on the part of those who voluntarily and loyally perform the many demands made upon their leisure hours; the services being maintained by the Brigade not only responds to calls in the case of accidents, but undertakes conveyance of patients from their homes to hospitals, and from hospitals to homes. " His Royal Highness the Duke of York inspected the Prince of Wales's District in Hyde Park on 14th June. "The following inspections of Ambulance and Nursing Corps and Divisions were made by me :-Birmingham Nursing Corps, Northampton, Wellingborough and Kettering Corps; Olney and Lavendon Divisions; S.E. Lancs. Corps; Cheshire Units; North Derbyshire Corps and Divisions; Hull Corps; Newcastle and District Corps; North Durham Corps; North Staffordshire Corps and Divisions. "The following inspections were made by the TIeputy Chief Commissioner :-Slough Division, Bristol Corps, Leicester Corps, Birmingham Corps, Cheltenham Corps and Ipswich Corps. " The strength of both the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions on these inspection parades was most satisfactory and showed a great spirit of keenness. The clothing was usually of good quality and well fitted, and the equipment was invariably in excellent order. The marching was good and showed excellent discipline. " NO.5 District held a District Camp at Scarborough in June, over 541 Officers and members attended. The Camp was inspected on my behalf by Colonel C. J. Trimble, the Commissioner of NO.4 District, who reports that the discipline was good and the general tone of the Camp was of a ,high order. The Camp was complete in every detail, and the arrangements were excellent in every respect. The Commissioner NO.5 District has ~very reason to be satisfied with the Camp formed by the District which 'he commands.

" The Competitions for the' Dewar' Challenge Shield, the' Symons Eccles' Challenge Cup, and the' Perrott' Challenge Shield were again held at the Great Central Hotel. "The tests were admirably staged and so far as realism is concerned nothing more could be desired. Great credit is due to the organising staff for the success of these competitions. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of York presented the prizes after the teams had marched past. The Southern Railway Military Band rendered selections during the afternoon. " The following teams were successful in the finals : " Dewar."-Bricklayers Arms, No. XI District. " Perrott."-Ramsgate Nursing Division, No. Vln Disirict. " Symons Eccles."-Hampstead Division, No. I District.

"The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve still maintains its popularity with the members of the Brigade-the complement is complete and there are a number of men on the waiting list for enrolment as vacancies occur. " I wish to record my high appreciation and thanks to Surgeon-Commander G. O. M. Dickinson, R.N., for the sympathetic and considerate manner in which he has treated all matters referred to him in connection with the Reserve, its welfare and its members. " I also wish to thank the Officers of Corps and Divisions for their help in maintaining such a high state of efficiency which is absolutely necessary in connection with the Naval Reserve. "From the Statement of Accounts received the financial position of Corps and Divisions on the whole is sound. " During the year 81 Corps and Divisions held Brigade Days. " The support given by the public is a testimony of the value placed on the work of the Brigade. " No. I I District and one or two other Divisions have continued their support of the Benevolent fund, but I should like to see a greater increase in the donations from members of Units of the Brigade. There is no cause more worthy of support than to assist those in need who have themselves given their best in the cause of suffering humanity. As Acting Chief Commissioner, I am anxious that no deserving claim shall be turned down owing to need for funds, and steps will be taken in the coming year to bring before the members of the Brigade the need of extending the hand of friendship to partners in ambulance work, and expressing in deeds the respect and sympathy they feel for another. "The esprit de corps existing throughout the Brigade is admirable, and while this state of affairs exists, the future of the Brigade is well assured. " I wish to place on record my thanks to all ranks for their individual and collective loyalty and assistance, without which it would have been impossible for me to carry out the efficient administration of the Brigade. " I also wish to record my grateful thanks to those ladies and gentlemen who have, by their keen interest, practical help and influence, assisted the Brigade during the year."

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRICADE OVERSEAS.

The following is extracted from the report of the Chief Commissioner, Serjeant-Surgeon Sir R. Havelock Charles, G.C.V.O., K.C.S.!', M.D., F.R.S.C.!':-

" The year has been one of steady progress. " It is not possible to give an exact figure showing the strength of the Brigade Overseas on 31st December, 1924, as at the time of writing the returns for the year 1924 are not complete; but the approximate strength is 156 Ambulance Divisions, 96 Nursing Divisions, with a total of all ranks of 5,900. "AUSTRALIA. The interest in ambulance work is maintained, and while the New South Wales District continues in a flourishing condition the other Districts are showing revived interest. During the year four new Divisions were registered in the Districts in Australia which are grouped together. " In Western Australia Coastal District the Perth Divisions are performing useful work under Dr. Tymms, and in W estern Australia Goldfield District, the District Superintendent in Charge, Mr. G. Rowe, reports that interest among the members is very keen. "CANADA. Progress is slow compared with the previous years of the War, but the registration of four new Divisions is a very hopeful sign and indicates a forward movement. I thank Sir Henry Pellatt and Dr. Copp for the good work they are doing. "CEYLO. Once again I have the pleasure to note an increase in the strength of this District: the Ceylon Police Corps has increased from 797 on 31st December, 1923, to 897 on 31st December, 1924. The knowledge of first aid has been the means of saving life on many occasions and the value of this knowledge to the police of this Island cannot be overestimated. "GIBRALTAR. The police Division in this District is maintaining its efficiency under the direction of Inspector Sykes. "Ho G KONG. In spite of many difficulties progress is reported by Capt. E. Ralphs in this District. Two new Divisions have been registered during the year. "INDIA. At the Headquarters of each District there exist large and efficient Corps and Divisions, but outside the large towns and cities there is very little active interest reported. Where, as in the case of Bombay, Calcutta, Lahore, Madras and Simla our work has a footing, progress is very satisfactory and good work is being performed. My thanks are due to Sir Frederick Whyte, who under difficult conditions is carrying on the duties of Deputy Chief Commissioner. "MALTA. Our work in Malta is making steady progress. I was pleased to note the revival of the Cottenara Division which with the other Divisions of the Malta Corps performed good work during the War under Major Balbi. "NEW ZEALAND. The Brigade Overseas within New Zealand is increasing in strength and efficiency. The figures for cases of First Aid rendered on Public Duty and other occasions show a substantial increase over the figures for the two preceding years.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

" SOUTH AFRICA. The work of the Brigade Overseas in South Africa is now on a very sound footing and the increase in activity is so great as to call for the appointment of two District Officers on the Deputy Chief Commissioner's Staff. Eight new Divisions and two sections of existing Divisions have been formed within the Districts of the Brigade Overseas and there is every possibility of the formation of two entirely new Districts. " I wish to tender my best thanks to the Lady Superintendent in Chief, Mrs. Dent, and to all Deputy Chief Commissioners, Officers in charge of Districts and Staffs for their in terest and help. " I also desire to thank specially Captain Cahusac for the conscientious work for the Brigade Overseas he has carried on throughout the year. When he took over his duties we were far behind with many of the reports and bringing these in to order has been a great tax upon him. I thank him cordially." During the year ended 31st December, 1924, 66 Service Medals and 9 Bars have been awarded to members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas as follows : SERVICE MEDALS. Australia. Dick, Dist.

when the staff successfully dealt with the enormous number of 12,225sufferers. October also shows a five figllre retllrn of 10,8 1 5. It has only been possible to deal with such a greatly increased number of patients owing to the sanction by the Order of the appointment of a third British urgeon, Mr. W. E . Thompson, M.B., CH.B., (St. Andrew's), who had just re igned his appointment in the Health Department of the Palestine Government, and who joined the Hospital for duty on April 1St. The Committee regrets to announce the resignation by Capt. C. R. B. Eyre of the office of Sub-Warden, which takes effect next April. Capt. Eyre joined the staff in 1920 and became the first Sub-Warden of the Hospital in 1922. He has done good work, especially in refraction cases and he also initiated a very useful spectacle fund for helping patients to get suitahle glasses on leaving the Hospital. He made to scale and presented to the Order an excellent large model of the Hospital made of wood, which takes to pieces, shewing the interior of the wards, etc. The . mod 1 was exhibited at the Wembley Exhibition and is now preserved in the ~11.l l um of the Order at t. John's Gate. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur of Connaught, K.G., a Knight of Justice of th Order, paid a visit to the Hospital on January 15th. He was rccei\'ed by the Ward n and the Sub-Warden in their official robes and w(,(lring the insignia of their office. There was also present Frere Chapbin Archdeacon P. . \tVaddy, with Sir Ronald Storrs, C.M.G., and Jlr. H. C. Luke, both Knights of Grace of the Order. His Royal Highn '~s visited all the wards and expressed himself as pleased with all he saw. Before leaving he presented the Hospital with a large signed portrait of himself which has ince been framed and hung on the wall. Lieut.-Colonel Y. Gabriel, C.S.I., etc., a member of the Committee, visited the Hospital in .JIay and inspected the recently completed new staircase in the \Varden's house, on which he reported favourably. Colonel . .\. 1'.1onckton Copeman, F.R.S., M.D ., a member of the Committee, al 0 \'i ited th Hospital in May and submitted a valuable report to the Committee on his return. The Committee immediately called for a r port from Jerusalem on the best method of dealing with the drainage problem and awaits the Government In pector's suggestions. Th provi ' ion of a new sterilizing plant has been agreed to, the cost having been found by a generous donor. In last year's H.eport the Committee asked for (i.) new beds, (ii.) new baths and sanitary arrang ments, (iii.) lavatory accommodation for out-patients and (iv.) an X-Ray apparatus. With regard to (i.) an anonymous lady donor has furnished the Hospital with thirty-seven new beds of the most up-to-date de ign, which have now taken the place of a similar number of old worn out Army Hospital ones. With regard to (iv.) another generous lady, Miss Hulton, has given the money for an X-Ray apparatus, the possession of which will place the Hospital in the front rank for technical equipment. Grateful indeed is the Committee to these two kind donors for their valuable gifts. The work in connection with the installation of the electric light is now in hand and most of the machinery has arrived. The site given by the Patriarch in 1921 for the building of an annexe for d aling with patients suffering from the terrible affliction of acute

conjunctivitis still remains vacant. Owing to new regulations made by Government, not more than 40 per cent. of any given plot of land may be built over and a minimum distance of two metres must be left between the building and the boundary wall. Under these circumstances the original plot given by the Patriarch has become quite inadequate. Steps are being taken to see if the area already given can be added to and plans are preparing showing the arrangement proposed which gives shelter to thirty-four patients and provides rooms for two attendants, a " dr ssing " room or clinic, a hall and good lavatory accommodation. The cost will be considerable; not less than £E3,500. If an additional tory wer built, providing a new house for the ub-Warden, a furth er urn of £Ez ,000 would have to be found. New kitchen arrangements for the isters ' quarters have been sanctioned and a great improvement will th ereby b e effected in the comfort of the Sisters.

replied by showing an increase of £30 in her subscription list. For t~is and her devoted work in the Hospital the Committee can only ohce agam inadequately express its very sincere thanks. Mr. Kirk, District Officer, Railway Headquarters, Johannesburg, has sent a cheque for £13 7s., collected from ten South ~frican B~igade Overseas Units. Is it too much to hope for a South Afncan Bed m the Hospital, to keep company with those of Canada, Newfoundland c:- nd Hong Kong? The Committee sends its South African friends heartIest thanks for their help. Thanks, too, are due to Lord Forester for a grant of £100 from the trustees of "The Lady Forester" Hospital and Convalescent Home; to the Rev. H. H. Appleford for a donation of £50; to Mr. ]. Horne tevenson, M.B.E., R.C., for his work as Honorary Secretary in cotland in collecting fund for the Hospital; to Iajor-General G. Sterling Ryerson, a Knight of Grace of the Order in Canada, for a case of ophthalmic instruments; to AirS. hipwright for a ca e of cutlery for the use of the isters' Mcs ; to 11rs. Rickman for a parcel of eye bandages, made by herseH; to :JIrs. Kumri, the Housek eper, for the gift of one of the brass crosse'> on the main door of the Hospital; and to the anonymous donor who gave the econd cross.

The Committee is happy to report the endowment of two beds during the year by Sir Robert Ho Tong and his brother, lr. Ho Kom Tong, both of Hong Kong, Honorary Knights of Grace of the Order. In the Report for 1923 !reference was made to the fact that H.E. Th High Commissioner had approached the Order with a view to finding out if the Grand Priory could take over a portion of the health work which the Government had been obliged to abandon owing to financial stringency. The Warden in consultation with the Government Officer of Health elaborated a scheme which he sub mitt d to th Ord r, which expressed its willingness to co-operate, but resen'ed the right to give the Government ample notice to withdraw in case the necessity should arise. The scheme thus adopted is shortly a follows:- ix centre ' ha\'e been selected for the clinics, Beersheba, Gaza, Ramleh, Jaffa, ablonand Haifa. At each centre will be two Hospital trained nurses, paid for by the Order, working under a medical officer who ha attend d special -courses in the Hospital. The nurses are given a four months cour in the Hospital, being paid during training by th e Order. The fir.st nurse under the scheme entered the Hospital on eptember I t. Both the medical staff and the nursing staff will attend" refresh r " cour':le~ at the Hospital from time to time and one of the Hospital taff urgeons will make periodical visits of inspection to the clinics. The increa eel yearly cost to the Order is in the neighbourhood of £700. \Yithout the third surgeon it would not have been possible to accept the proposal and in any case it adds very considerably to the responsibilitie of the Warden. The Committee is glad to report that its recommendation to the Chapter-General that, as a mark of appreciation of hi service, the Warden should be considered for promotion, has been promptly m t and it heartily congratulates Lieut.-Colonel ]. C. Strathearn, O.B.E., on becoming an Esquire of the Order. Both to him and his staff, British and Palestinian, the Committee feels that its sincere thanks are due for the loyal and efficient manner in which the constantly increasing work has been carried out. The Committee is happy in feeling that the right spirit prevails throughout the staff and that in their hands the prestige of the Order i afe. To Lady Watson the debt of gratitude is constantly growing. The Committee appointed her Honorary Treasurer for Palestine and she has

The Priory is asslstmg the Juvenile Employment Committee of the Cardiff Education Committee by organising lectures in first aid and home nursing for the unemployed. This work is undertaken by officers of the local ambulance and nursing divisions of the Brigade and is much appreciated by the Juvenile Unemployment (Education) officer. An endeavour is being made to instal special first aid cabinets in the schools in Wales as a preliminary to an effort to introduce first aid into the school curriculum. Encouraging reports of the year's work have been received from the various county and borough centres and the sub-districts.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

The figures for 1924 comprise the following units :-25 corps, 167 ambulance divisions, 57 nursing divisions, 9 ambulance cadet divisions 1 nursing cadet division. Great impetus was given to the interest of officers by the visit to a quarterly meeting of the Brigade Staff Committee of Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, K.C.M .G., C.B., Secretary-General of the Order. This was particularly gratifying to Wales as it was the first official visit made by the Secretary-General to the Priory. General Wilkinson strongly advocated closer interchange of ideas as " mutual knowledge produced mutual confidence and sympathy." The Priory sent three contingents of Brigade members to the Empire Exhibition at Wembley for a period of one week each and members from all counties in 'Nales participated in this voluntary service. One of the Priory motor ambulances was stationed at the head of the model coal mine at the Exhibition and aroused much interest. Competitions continue to evoke great enthusiasm and to the numerous trophies already vested in the trustees of the Priory must be added the silver cup, presented by Dr. De Vere Hunt, for annual competition by the members of the nursing divisions of the City of Cardiff. At the Royal National Eisteddfod held at Pontypool in August, great interest was -centred in the ambulance competitions. The judges were :-MajorGeneral Sir Robert Armstrong Jones, K.B.E., C.B., F.R.C.S., Professor A. W . Sheen, C.B.E., F.R.C.S., Miss Cox-Davies, M.B.E., R.R.C., Colonel Sir James Magill, K.B.E., and Colonel G. A. Moore, C.M.G., D.S.O., M.D. The Lady Bute" and" Lady Lewis" cups were won by the Abertillery Nursing Division and the Bedlinog NO.1 team respectively. Shields presented by Mr. H. G. Lewis of Barry, Mr.W. H. Taylor of Pontnewynydd, Mr. R.W. Bartlett of Newport, and Sir John Beynon of Newport were also competed for. In the preliminary competition for the "Dewar" Shield the Landinam " shield, presented by Major D . Davies, M.P., was awarded to the Abertillery team. The winners of this shield and the Abertillery Nursing team had the honour of representing the Priory at the -competitions held in Lon don for the" Dewar" and Perrott" shields r espectively. (t

During the year eighteen service medals and one service medal bar were awarded to members of the Brigade in Wales by the Chapter-General ()f the Order.

Approximately 2,000 treatmen~s were given at the Llandrindo ~ells spa treatment establishment dunng the year. The c~asses ?f patIents varied considerably, including workpeople from the mdustnal centres and professional men. The average length of stay was three weeks.

C~unty controllers have ?~en appointed in every County, with three e~ce~tlOns, and t h e work of ralsmg det achments has been started in most distncts.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL. During the past year Mr. Edmund Fraser, Knight of Justice, retired from the office of Librarian, a position . which he had held since 1913, when he succeeded the late LIeut.-Colonel R. Holbeche, Knight of Grace, who had himself held office for eleven years. The Library Committee passed the following resolution, and ordered it to be recorded on its minutes :LIBRARY AND MUSEUM.

"On the retirement of Mr. Edmund Fraser from the office of

Libra~ian, a position which he has held during the past eleven years,

the LIbrary Committee of the Order desires to place on record its of the valuable services he has rendered in that capacity. HIS WIde knowledge of the history, customs and traditions of their venerable. Order has at all times been of the greatest assistance to the CommIttee, whilst his many generous gifts will ever be remembered with the deepest gratitude." a~pre~iation

The .additions made to the Order's collection during the year have been numerous and of unusual interest. Amongst the more Important purchases are : ~xceptIOnally

(I) The Wilkinson Collection of coins and medals of the Order struck at .M~1ta . This collection was made by Surgeon-Commander E. . G. WIlki~son, O.B.E., ~.N., an Esquire of the Order, during his residence in that Island, and mcludes the well-known Strickland Collection. It comprises 1,020 coins of which rather more than 300 are duplicates, 35 ~edals and medallions, and 18 anonymous medals and miscellaneous pIeces, many of them unique. A photograph of one of th medals is reproduced as a frontispiece to this Report. In obtaining this collection the ~rde.r ha~ been much indebted to the assistance given by Captain Dems Shlpwnght, a Knight of Grace.

(2) An ebony cabinet, now in the Chapter Hall. It bears the arms of Cotoner, and is said to have been presented by a King of Portugal to one of t~e two Grand Masters of that family. It was presumably presented to NIcholas C?toner by the regent Dom Pedro, afterwards King P dro II, on the occaSIOn of the special mission sent by the Order in 1670 to co~grat~ate that Prince on assuming the regency. The acqui ition of t~IS cabmet was rendered possible by the generous assistance of the VISCOunt Lascelles, the Earl of Iveagh, Mr. Ho Kom Tong and others.

(3) A copy of the picture called (( Concilium in Arena" by Tiepolo, the original of which is at Udine. This copy, now in the Chapter Hall, represen ts th~ reception in Council by Grand Master Pinto in 1748 of the .~ounts dl. Montegnasco and di Florio, who were claiming for the nobilIty of Udme the privilege of being eligible for reception as Knights of JustIce.

Besides these more important purchases, the Library Committee has also recently secured a large number of old book~, pri.nts, documents and other relics relating to the Order. For these It IS mdebted to the efforts of Major H. A. Balbi, M.B.E., who has devoted much time and energy in Paris to research work for the Order. As in past years the Library Committee has to report the receipt of many generous gifts, both from members of the Order, and from others. Amongst these the more important are : A portrait by Trevisani of the Grand Prior Philip de Vendome, brother of the famous Duke de Vendome, Marshal of France. This picture which now hangs in the Chapter Hall, has been presented by Mr. Edmund Fraser, Knight of Justice. Transcripts of certain important documents relating to the Order, now in the Westminster Archives, with photographic facsimiles and casts of the attached seals. Presented by Canon Westlake, C.V.O., F.S.A. Casts from the monumental effigies of Grand Masters De L'Isle Adam and La Valette, presented by Professor Zammit, LL.D., Rector of the Malta University. The Order is also much indebted to the Royal United Service Institution which has lent to the Museum for an indefinite period an Arms Chest formerly containing boarding-pikes and part of the equipment of one of its Gallies. It is painted with the arms of the Order and the date 16 99, and the arms of the Grand Masters Perellos and Vilhena have been added at some subsequent period. This chest was until recently at Kilmair:ham, which before the Reformation was the residence of the Grand Pnor of Ireland. The Committee is able to report that s'ubstantial progress has now been made in the work of transcribing Cotton MS. Nero E.VI. in the British Museum. This is the Cartulary of the Order in 1442, and it is hoped to finish the work during the coming year. Substantial progress has also

been made in the work of blasoning the shields of the Grand Priors of England on the oak panelling of the Chapter Hall. This has only been rendered possible by the researches of the late Rev. W. K. R. Bedford and Mr. H. W. Fincham, and should be completed at an early date. It is desired to draw the attention of the members of the Order to the fact that it possesses no complete collection of the insignia of the different grades before the granting of the Charter in 1888. This insignia is of two types. From 1831 to 1871 the badge was surmounted by the Sovereign Crown with the national embellishment in the angles of the cross, and in the case of the Bailiffs or Grand Crosses suspended from an heraldic Trophy. There was also a special finger-ring of gold, bearing up on a circular field enamelled black, a white Maltese cross. From 187! to 1888 the badge continued to be surmounted by the Sovereign Crown, but was without the national embellishment. The finger-ring passed out of use at this time. Major-General J. C. Dalton has recently presented to the Museum his own insignia as a Knight of Justice before the Charter, and the Library Committee would be grateful if members of the Order would assist them to make their collection of obsolete insignia complete. In conclusion the Committee is glad to be able to report that the preservation of the Castle of Kolossi, in which the Order has long been interested, may be regarded as assured, since it is included amongst the historic monuments of Cyprus, now under the control of Mr. George Jeffery, F.S.A., H.M. Curator of Ancient Monuments. The list of donors to the Library and Museum during the year, to whom the thanks of Chapter-General have been conveyed, is as follows : Major H. A. Balbi, The Hon. Lady Cecil, Dr. C. Cotton, MajorGeneral J. C. Dalton, Mr. T. Renton Dunlop, Mons. Pierre d'Espazel, Mr. H. W. Fincham, Mr. E. Fraser, Colonel G. H. Goddard, Mrs. E. Gollcher, Mr. O. F .

A new and important history of the Order entitled The HISTORY OF THE Grand Priory of the Order of the Hospital of St. John ORDER. of Jerusalem in England," by the Librarian, Colonel E. J. King, has been published. It is fully illustrated and treats the subject from a fresh and most interesting point of view. In a Foreword,' Major-General the Earl of Scarbrough, the Sub-Prior, says Colonel King has ably and faithfully carried out a desire expressed that the part played by the English Branch in ancient and modern times and in its present day work should be brought prominently before our countrymen and women and more particularly before our members and workers at home and overseas." Copies of the book may be obtained from t.

The Exhibition authorities were advised on First Aid and Medical Services by a special Joint Committee of the Order of St. John and the

British Red Cross Society. Each provided a motor ambulance, the St. John ambulance being built specially for the Exhibition. Every d~y from eighty to one hundred trained ambulance men and wom~n were In attendance, and when an exceptional crowd was expected thIS number was considerably increased. The Order (represented by the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade) and the Society took this duty in alternate months. The ambulance men and nursing sisters were volunteers. They came from all parts of England and Wales, often at great trouble and expense, and few of the people to whom their uniforms are familiar realise what is owing to these self-sacrificing workers.

The following interesting account of the First Aid organisation at the Exhibition is extracted (by the kind permission of the Editor) from an article which appeared in the British Medical Journal" of the 9 th August, 1924. It

Medical Work at Wembley.-Those who have had practical experience of a medical organisation which has to deal.with such multi~udes as daily visit a great exhibition will at once realIse that the reqUlrements are many and varied. Exhibition crowds are ma~e up of all ~lasses and all ages from early infancy to extreme old age: . It IS therefore .Incumbent on those responsible for their welfare to anhClpate .and proVlde f~r the necessities that these extremes dictate, and the enVIronment pecuhar to an exhibition makes demands apart from the medical and surgical happenings ordinarily associated with communal life. ~he medical organisation of the Exhibition is arranged to render early asslstanc~ to all cases requiring first-aid treatment, and, should medIcal attentlOn be considered necessary, their rapid conveyance by ambulance car t~ the main ambulance station, where a medical officer is on duty day and mght. To enable this to be carried out, first-aid cabinets are placed in the great Palaces of Engineering and Industry and in the Exhibition grounds. An orderly of the St. John Ambulance Brigade or ~he Briti~h Red Cro~s Society is on sentry go " at each cabine~. The cabmets are m telep~omc communication with each other and Wlth the four ambulance statlons. The latter are staffed by men and women belonging to the Orde~ of St. John of Jerusalem or the British Red Cross Society, an~ are, WI t~ .the exception of the main ambulance station, named, accordmg to ~oslh0!l' Northern Eastern and Stadium. These in turn can commumcate In the same 'way with' the first-aid" headquarter ?ffice, ar:d also wit~ the office of the Director of Medical Services, both sItuated m the Stadium. The motor ambulances are garaged at the main ambulance station, and are provided and manned by the St. John Ambulance Brigade and. the British Red Cross Society. On receipt of a message from any cabmet or station, a car, accompanied by orderlies, is despatched to t~e spot. The patient is then brought direct to the main ambulance statlOn and treated and discharged, or, if necessary, sent by ambulance car home ~r to hospital. If it is decided that the patien~ requires treatm~nt he IS sen t by car to the WillesGen General ?OSpl tal. The c~uncil of the Willesden General Hospital has placed thIrty beds at the disposal of the medical service of the Exhibition, and has also supplied the trained nurses for the main ambulance station, which is therefore, in military parlance, the casualty clearing station of the Exhibition. The cases that it deals It

J OINT

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

with are surprisingly varied in character and severity. This must be expected with a changing daily population of between one and three hundred and fifty thousand-last Whit-Monday's census. The numbers already treated exceed 11,000, and though the cases have been mostly trivial, some 300 must be classed otherwise. Among the latter have been: cases of fracture, twelve; dislocations, five; perforated duodenal ulcer, five; appendicitis, four; and gastro-enteritis, eighty-seven (all in one day). Persons, old and young, frequently fall into the lake, and though little harm is done they must be put to bed while their clothes are drying. The Amusement Park provides occasional accidents, but few are other than slight; and the menagerie there provides its quota of slight wounds from twisting the lion's tail, or the retaliatory defensive measures of irate bears, monkeys, and other a.nimals. Auto-intoxication due to fatigue is a common complaint among elderly folk and children, following long journeys frequently undertaken at night with little rest or sleep, combined with unsuitable and irregular meals. They are treated by rest in bed and dieting. Headaches require relief, and are due to the same cause. Excursionists by railway or char-a.-banc with abdominal colic from repletion seek anodynes. When it is stated that over 84,000 ices were sold one day in the Exhibition this is not surprising, as there can be no limitation except the pocket to individual desires. Epileptics and hysterics respectively demand bromides and sympathy. Cowboys and cowgirls, whose very livelihood and chances of prize money depend on their sticking to their jobs, naturally avoid falling into the doctor's hand, but sometimes necessity compels where they have fractured a bone. It was then that the portable radiographs proved useful; on receipt of a telephone message the specially designed car plant arrived with an expert operator, and an excellent radiograph was produced within twenty minutes of the exposure. Numbers of natives of India and of other Eastern dependencies are employed in the Exhibition, and their ick requiring hospital treatment are sent to the Seamen's Hospital, Greenwich, by motor ambulance. All infectious cases are sent by special motor ambulance car to the local infectious hospital at Acton. Parents visiting the Exhibition with infants in arms or children of tender age find provision for caring for them at the day nursery established in the north-west corner of the Exhibition grounds, and adjacent to the Wembley Park Station of the Metropolitan Railway. It is a delightful home, in picturesque surroundings, and is replete with all the comforts and requisites that a parental solicitude might wish for or a child's heart desire. The fee for a four hours' stay is sixpence, and there is a small extra charge for feeding. The day nursery is largely patronised, and Her Majesty the Queen has expressed approval of its general arrangements. The medical staff of the Exhibition consists of a director and four medical officers. There are two dispensers, and three ex-R.A.M.C. men as orderlies. The St. John Ambulance Brigade and the British Red Cross Society have provid d all the first-aid personnel (eighty to one hundred are on duty daily), much of the ward equipment, and all the surgical dressings and drugs used since the Exhibition opened. The Exhibition authorities and the British public are therefore indebted to the Order and the ociety for what they have so ungrudgingly and unostentatiously done and given on humanitarian grounds.

JOINT COUNCIL.

COUNCIL.

The following is extracted from the last published report of the Joint Council of the Order and the British Red Cross Society : -

"The Home Service Ambulance Committee can fairly claim that by the widespread distribution of its ambulance cars it has set up a Service which brings suitable means of transport within reasonable reach of the sick and injured in all parts of the country. There are still regions where the distances to be covered are greater than is desirable, but the establishment of new ambulance stations continues as demands arise, and gradually the number of these areas is being lessened. There are now 333 Home Service ambulance cars working in England, Ireland and Wales, and these, with such ambulances as are available from other sources, many of which are affiliated to the Service, ensure that there shall be no undue delay in meeting the call for an ambulance, however remote the position . of the patient may be. The Joint Council, in addition to its own peace work, acts as the Executive Body for the Joint War Committee in the detail administration of grants for the relief of sickness and suffering arising out of the War.

Emergency Help F'und.-Over 20,000 new cases were assisted during the past financial year. The total grants approved for this work from the commencement of the scheme to the 31st March, 1924, were £439.400, and the present average monthly expenditure is £10,000. Although, owing to the lapse of time since the Armistice, the thorough investigation of all fresh applications becomes more and more essential, the administrative expenses continue low. This satisfactory result is due very largely to the voluntary assistance given by our representatives throughout the country. most satisfactory feature of the scheme during the past year is the marked increase in the amount voluntarily refunded by those men and widows assisted, who have succeeded in their claims to pension, etc. No less than £18,191 was refunded during the year ended 31St December, 1923, a sum more than double that received for the previous year. Auxiliary Hospitals for Officers.-This department is still engaged in assisting large numbers of sick and disabled ex-officers, the total number of cases dealt ,vith during the past year being 558. 157 cases received in-patient treatment at the Brighton Hospital, and the majority of the remainder were those suffering from tuberculosis, requiring sanatoria or other forms of assistance. T'Ubercttlosis Committee.-In July last this Committee took up its work of relieving ex-officers and men suffering from tuberculosis. At the request of the Ministry of Pensions an experimental Home has been established in South-West London to accommodate eighteen advanced ex-officer cases. As a result of the experience gained at this Home, the Committee will be guided as to the desirability of setting up a similar Home for men. A number of grants have been approved during the year in aid of workshop training in Tuberculosis Colonies and Institutions.

Funds.-During

the past twelve mon ths approx~atel~ 37,000 pensi?ner patients were taken for drives or conveyed to pubhc or pnvate entertamments. 296 concerts, theatrical performances and other entertainments were arranged in Pensions Hospitals. 5,000,000 cigarettes and 4,657 lbs. of tobacco were issued to the patients, as well as periodical issues of musical instruments, gramophones and records, and all kinds of indoor and outdoor games and equipment.

Bedside Occupations.-Grants for this work are made to Pensions and other Hospitals, and benefited a considerable number of patients un~ble to leave their beds for training in workshops attached to the vanous Hospitals. The work is mainly carried out by voluntary committees and teachers, and comprises basket making, raffia and leather wo~k. The Medical Superintendents concerned speak very highly of the beneficIal effect on the patients." The Committee regret exceedingly to report the death of their late president, Mrs. W. H. Sefton Moorhouse, CUILD OF ST. JOHN who ably directed the activities of the Guild from I9I3 WELLINCTON, N.I. until. her d eath'ill Sep t emb er, 1924, an d w h 0 was h eld not only in the highest esteem and respect, but also with sincere affection by all amongst whom she untiringly worked in the service of oth~rs. . During the year, 2,190 visits were paid by the nurses to patlent~ m their own homes and 668 cases were treated at the office of the GUIld; 36 patients were' sent into hospital, 7 to convalescent homes, and there have been 5 deaths; 276 additional patient~ have been registere~, a~d the total number on the roll since the appomtment of the first distnct nurse is 4,629.

DISTRICT NURSINC

The excellent work of the district nurses has been faithfully carried on throughout the year, and their kindness and sympathy, combined with their skill, has been everywhere received by the patients with heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. A most enjoyable day was spent by patients and their families at Karori Park, when the committee and nurses and friends provided the annual Christmas treat. Grateful thanks are extended by the committee to all who have contributed to the support of the Guild's work-to the Board of Trustees of the Macarthy Trust Fund for their liberal donation, to all subscribers, and to many others for substantial gifts of clothing,. food, etc., and. for donations, also to the Press, the accountants, the auditor, and to vanous medical practitioners.

The Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honollr to submit the following report of the work of the St. John Ambulance Association for the infonnation of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. The year under review has been one of considerable progress in all directions. There is again a large increase in the number of certificates and re-examination awards gained during the year as compared "'lith the previous twelve months and though the increase may, to a great extent, be due to the requirements of the V/orkmen's Compensation Act which has recently come into force and, p rhaps, to a less extent, to the recent introduction of the V.A.D. scheme, t here are undoubtedly evidences that the value of a knowledge of first aid and kindred subjects is now more universally recognised. As usual the Railway Centres continue to surpass their previous records and on several Jines re-organisation is proceeding, so that even greater efficiency may be noticeable in the future. Classes among the Metropolitan Police ~re now ,",'ell established and a new feature has been their extension to the \\'om en Police in that Force. County, City and Borough Police are a1<,0 devoting greater attention to instruction in first aid, and it is :a tisfactory to record the extension of the work in H.M. Prisons and Bor tal Institutions. The instruction in first aid of crews of fishing Acets has proceeded steadily, and it is gratifying to note that the \tlercantile farinc D epa rtment of the Board of Trade has recently is ued a notice to the effect that" on and after 1st January, 1925, every ('cmdidate for a certificate of competency as Skipper or Second Hand of a fishing boat will be required to produce a valid first aid certificate not more than three years old." Through the medium of Centres and detached classes the Association has issued during the year 8,247 medallions, 19,320 labels and 2,670 pendants, which in each case is an increase on the figures for last year and a total increase of 1,534. The number of certificates issued in England, Ireland and Wales during the year is as follows : INSTRUCTION.

First Aid (Men) First Aid (Women) Home ursing (Men) Home ursing (V\'omen) Home Hygiene ( 1en) Home Hygiene (Women) Priory for Wales

COUNTY COMMITTEES.

ST. JOHN A mULA CE ASSOCIATION.

Under the new conditions for the Inter-Railway . mbulance Competition rendered necessary by the grouping scheme, it was arranged that the four grouped railways should enter two teams for the Final and that ungrouped railways should compete among themselves for one place in the Final. Th competition for ungrouped railways was held at St. John's Gate on 11th April, the judge being William Gray, M.D.(Edin.), of West Hartlepool. Four railways entered teams, the winners being the Metropolitan Railway team, which qualified to compete in the Final with the following :COMPETITIONS.

Great Western Railway (z teams). London, Midland and Scottish Railway (z teams). London and North Eastern Eailway (z teams). Southern Railway (z teams). The individual tests in the Final were judged at St. John's Gate on 15th May, by J. H. Beverley, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., of 'V,Torsbro' Bridge, Barnsley, and the team ie')t at the Connaught Rooms, Kingsway, London, on 16th May, by C. J. R. MacFadden, O.B.E., M.D.(Ed.), of London. The result of the competition was as follows : .1/ {frhs. Railway . T. Southern (Hither Green) 337 2. Great Western (Newport-Dock Street) 30 3 London and North Eastern (G.E. Section, Harwich amI 3· Parkeston) 4· Great Western (Plymouth) 5· London, Midland and Scottish (Manchester-London Road) 6. Southern (S.E. and C. Section, Bricklayers' Arms) .. .. 7· London, Midland and Scottish (Liverpool-~orth Docks) .. 8. London and North Eastern (N.E. Area, Gate head) .. 9· Metropolitan Maximum marks obtainable-470.

The Challenge Shield and prizes were pre ~ented by Major-General H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught. K.G., etc., Knight of Justice of th Order. During the year the formation of a Centre of the Association in British Guiana has been approved. There is every prospect of good progress being made in the Colony, the interest of H.E. The Governor having been secured, while the Surgeon-General the Hon. Dr. P. J. Keily, who did much good work for the Association in Ceylon, has accepted the position of Chairman of the Centre.

NEW CENTRE.

A Central Council for the Commonwealth of Australia like those in South Africa and New Zealand has been OVERSEAS. established, but two Centres-South Australia and West Australia-have not joined the Council owing to the great distances and oth~r considerations. These Central Councils under able and energetic ChaIrmen are doing much good work.

Just as Overseas Central Councils have been established so also at home re-organisation is proceeding and County Committees are being established to co-ordinate the work order in the various Counties.

~OUNTY COMMITTEES.

of tll

During the year the new scheme of the Army Council . . . for the formation and training of voluntary aid detachments has been published and made known to all concerned. VA 0

The Ambulance Department of the Order was able to 1end considerable assistance throughout the period of the Exhibition at Wembley. Quite apart from the daily volun~ar.y personnel provided by the St. John Ambulance Brigade, the As OClatIOn supplied half the drugs, dressings, etc., required. In addition a new and up-to-date motor ambulance was provided which has since been transferred to the Invalid Transport Corps. BRITISH EMPIRE ExHIBITION 1924. I

CONFERENCE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM

A conference of representatives of Centres and Districts f t h e B' 0 nga de 0 verseas was held at St. John's Gate

OVERSEAS. on Z3rd June, the Sub-Prior of the Order presiding. An account of the proceedings has been pu1)lished and it i hoped that the conference ",rill become an annual event.

Lecture-demonstrations have been given by Mr. Hanmer during the year in various parts of the British Isles ~XHIBITIONS. . . and have been the means of creating or reviving interest lr:t many localItIes. As usual they have varied in character to suit local clrcUI.nstanc 5, and greater advantage has been taken of opportunities to bnng. the work of the As ociation to the notice of the general public by ..,hov.:mg the films as part of the programme at cinema houses. Several cla ses have been organised and Divisions of the Brigade formed as th? resnlt of ~1r. Hanmer's visits in localities where they did not previously eXl t, and III lecture demonstrations are generally a means of raising fund" for local units. fiRST AID FILM AND PRACTICAL

J.lr. Hanmer has produced a first aid cabinet, primarily for use in mines, on a design which is intended to check AID Box. misuse. He has very kindly made over his rights to the As"o~iation, and the Cabinet is now on sale in the Stores Department. HANMER FIRST;

In view of the high water mark attained by the centre in respect of successful first aid examinee for the year 1923, it was hardly anticipated that the record figure of that year would be exceeded during 192-1-. It is, thepfore, satisfactory to find that the numbers have again increased. For the fifth time the Newport (Dock Street) team secured the premier po ition in the final contest held in May, 1924. The second prize winners (Plymouth team) were awarded the « Carvell Cup," which had been given for this purpo:.c by Mrs. Carvell, widow of Dr. J. 1\1. Carvell.

For the second RA I LWAY year in uccession, the Southern Railway, represented (SOUTH EASTERN by a team from the outh-Eastern and Chatham Section, SECTION) . was ucce ~Jul in winning the Inter-Railway Ambulance hallcng> 'Jhield, and there is not the least doubt that this has proved a valuable incentive to members of the staff to take up the work. In addition to thi ucce_s the De\var Challenge hielcl, offerecl for competition amongst the t. J aIm mbulance Brigade teams, was also secured by the .. E. and C. railwaymen, and the London Bridge Nursing Divi~ ion team ohtainecl the second position in the Perrott Competition for TULing Di\'i. ions of the Brigac1 throughout the country. There could be no mor fitting tribute to the high standard of efficiency in ambulance work on thi , important ('ction of the railway.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCI ATION.

During the year twenty-nine classes were held in various parts of the State. Practically the who1e 0 f t h e constabulary of the State have quolified under the rules of the Association, while every member of the permanent staff of the fire brigades is required to qualify. The centre's appeal for funds to maintain the ambulance service was received with a ready response. A novel method of obtaining funds was originated by the Royal Automobile Club of West Australia this year, and took the form of a " P etrol Day." The response from the motorists was most liberal, and as a result sufficient petrol was donated to meet the requirements of the service for practically the whole year. It is with deep regret that the Council chronicles the death of Colonel J. A. Campbell, O.B.E., a Knight of Grace of the Order, which occurred on 18th April, in his eighty-second year. Colonel Campbell had been associated with the work of the Association since its inception in West u tralia over thirty-three years ago, and the centre is to-day largely indebted to him for the respect and help of the community which it enjoys, and also for the solid b;).sis on which its work in the cause of humanity is so permanently established in the tate. H e is succeeded by his son, Mr. J. R. Campbell, who for several years very materially assisted in the work. WEST AUSTRALIA.

From these it i evident that intere t in the work is maintained, the figures relating to the is UP of examination awards showing an increase in 1923 of 135 over those for 1922: ~ great number of tho e instructed are employees of the South Australian Railways. The Railways Ambulance Competitions have been held each year and testified to the high standard of work. The Committee of the centre are gratified to report that H.E. The Governor has accepted the office of President. The year has been one of considerable activity in the . centre and there ha been marked progress In all directions; 138 classes have been examined during the year and the number of men and women in tructed show an increa ~e of 1,000 on the previous year. These very satisfactory results may be attributed partly to an extensive system of propaganda that has been carried on and to visits paid by the centre secretary to outlying di tricts. The centre is urging the adopting of first aid cabinets in all firm, chool , club~, etc. : Nothing dennite has resulted from the representation marIe to the Government as to the need for the compulsory equipment of mines and factories with first aid cabinets, but sympathetic promi es have been received from the Minister for Labour that the matter will be put before his colleagues at an early date.

In this connection t. John scholarships have been founded to carryon for a further period the education of those who won them and large sums have been subscribed for this purpose, including one donation of £25,000 . There is a very complete system of ambulances in the Melbourne area and the wagons are all manned by trained first aiders.

The popularity of the First id Bulletin published monthly is steadily increasing and its circulation is now over 5,000. For some years past the Hon. Wallace Ne bitt, ICC., Honorary Pre ic1ent of the centre, has encouraged first aid competitions among the juniors, by an annual gift of individual prizes. A a direct encouragement to members of Cadet Corps and at the same time to provide for those under the age of sixteen Mr. Nesbitt has prc. entecl th centre with two trophies for competition among teams of Boy cout, Girl Guides and others under the age of sLxteen. In British Columbia Hi Honour Lieut.-Governor Nichol has shown his personal appreciation of the work the Council is conducting by- presenting a handsome silvC'r trophy for annual competition among teams of women supplemcnted by individual prizes to members of the winning team. The Lieut.-Governor has also made a handsome cash donation to the funds of the Provincial Council. Both the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National Railways Councils are now organised in a most comprehensive way, and each is carrying on the work 'with increasing efficiency. Marked recognition has been given to first aid by the management of the Canadian National Railways. A department of afety First and first aid has been established and placed in the charge of a Departmental head. As a permanent indication of their personal interest in first aid, Sir Henry Thornton, President, and Mr. Robb, Vice-President, have each given a handsome sterling silver cup for annual competition by teams of male and female employees respectively. In each of the three Canadian regions, also in the G.T.R. Western Lines in the United States, similar prizes have been presented by the staff officials as regional trophies. The Bell

The committee tender their best thanks to the many supporters who have enabled them to carryon the District Nursing Service and to provide comforts for the sick and aged poor by gifts of money, clothing, etc., and by personal assistance. The motor ambulance service maintains its high reputation for efficient transport work. During the year 556 cases were conveyed to the hospitals or their homes in the ambulance wagons, the distance travelled being 4,943 miles. The previous yC'ar 288 patients w re carried a distance of 2,706 miles. Nineteen classes of instruction in first aid and home nursing were formed during the year. The Invalid Transport ervice now has two ambulances running, and 1,158 case have been transported during the year. Forty-six public fir t aid dcpots, containing material for use in accident ca es, are maintained jn the city and suburbc;, the upkeep of which entails expense on the part of the centre and a great deal of attention on the part of officials of the Brigac1e' overscas.

The year under review has been full of activity, and an . advance has been made in several important directions. Owing to the increased financial support it has been possible to conduct a number of free or partly free classes. The number of students who attend d classc, shows an increase of thirty-eight over last year's figure, . CAPE TOWN

A class was held on board the training ship « General Botha," and sixty-nine senior lads took the first aid course. It is understood that this tuition will now be a recognised part of the boys' training. The St. John first aid qualification is now an essential part of the training of the police, and classes are arranged at the recruit depots from time to time. The question of refresher courses has been taken up with those in authority and is now under discussion. Arrangements have been made for a series of home nursing classes to be held in th e Peninsula High and Secondary chools. Several principals have taken up this matter very cordially. During the year the Trained Nurses' Association passed a special resolution to the effect that probationer nurses must secure first aid certificates of the Association either prior to or during the first year of their training, and several pro pective probationers have already attended courses of instruction. On the suggestion of the centre, snpported by the District Commandant of Police, the City Council has caused six boxes containing ambulance materials to be erected at busy points in the streets of Cape Town. These boxes are subjected to periodical in pection by an official of the centre. Further attempts have been made to deal with the question of first aid in local factories, but without much success. It is, however, intended to press the matter until every factory shall have its quota of qualified men and women. During October a Health Week was held and the centre was represented in the proce sion. First aid appliances were also exhibited by the centre as part of the Health Exhibit. Health Week concluded with the big competitions for the elbome Challenge Shield and other trophies and a large number of competitors and visitors were present. At the annual meeting in eptember, Mr. W. J. Ellend r EAST LONDON. was elected President vice Mr. W. Crosby, deceased, and Mr. N. E . Remick Secretary, vice Mr. J. Dickinson, resigned. . team was sent to the competition at Cape Town in October, and was defeated by six marks in the preliminary contest. Through lack of funds a team was not sent to Johannesburg this year, but lr. Ellend r has very kindly guaranteed the expenses for future competitions. The year has been one of steady progre and the outlook is much brighter than it has been for some years past. T en classes have been completed and the many applications for the attendance of ambulance parties at sports and other meetings clearly indicate that the value of the training afforded is appreciated. The competition for the Natal Challenge Trophy took place in the Town Hall, Durban, on 6th October; nine teams took part, the winning team being the Durban Nursing Division. The Leverhulme Shield Competition was held in the Railway Institute, Ladysmith, on Isth March. Ten teams representing every nursing and ambulance Division of the Brigade Overseas in Natal took part and the Shield was won by the Durban Nursing Division. NATAL.

st.

John's Gate, Clerkenwell, London, E .C. 31st December, 1924. THE DIRECTOR OF THE AMBULA CE DEPARTMENT, ORDER OF ST. JOHN. SIR, I have the honour to submit my first annual report as Acting Chief Commissioner of the Brigade, having taken over from my predecessorColonel Sir James R. A. Clark, Bt.-on the I't January, 1924. I should like to express my indebtednes to the Commissioners and other Officers of my staff for the support they have given me in my first year of office. During the year 37 Ambulance and 21 Nursing Divi ions UNITS. have been formed and 29 Ambulance and 44 Nursing Divisions have been disbanded. The di bandments would at first appear to indicate a backward movement during the period under review, but this is not so, as the Divisions disbanded hould have been struck off the Roll last year, but were given a year's grace in which to complete their establishment, which unfortuna tely they were unable to do. The Brigade is strengthened rather than weakened by the di appearance of these weak units as their place has been taken by an almost equal number of strong and keen divisions, and there has been a 'ubstantial increase in the actual personnel of the Brigade, amounting to 5,182. This increase in numbers in many cases hardly keeps pace with the increased demand for First Aid and Nursing, and the many other calls on the Brigade. In the first place there was the call of the British Empire Exhibition, where during alternate months the Brigade furnish dover 90 hour duty a day, with a personnel drawn from all parts of England and \Vale and Ireland. There has also been a great illcrease in the demands made by factorie and other works for our help, due in part to the Factory ct of 1923. There has also been a steady increase in the number of Ambulances operated by Divisions. These and other similar demands have given most members opportunities of rendering that voluntary service to their fellow citizens which was their object in joining the Brigade. The strength of the Brigade on the 31St December, 1924, wa as follows : Divisions. England Wales Ireland

The increase in the number of Cadet units and Cadet membership is most gratifying and promises well for the future. It clear1:y sho,ws ~hat there is need for such a movement to enable boys and guls mclmed toward ambulance work to obtain the necessary instruction. It will in time to come be a very successful recruiting ground for the Brigade. The Sub-Prior, acting on behalf of the Grand Prior, has NEW DISTRICTS. been pleased to approve the following alterations in the administration of the undermentioned Districts : NO . 3 District to be divided into two new Districts-No.3 (Eastern) and NO.3 (Western), under separate Commissioners.

Willoughby Bullock, A istani Commissioner, No.8 District. Dr. C. P. Lankester, Assistant Commissioner, No.8 District. Thp work undertaken by the Brigac1e now extends to CIVIL WORK. nearly every ~ phere of ambulance service. My thanks are due to the Police and the Civil Authorities who continue to support, assist, and encourage the Brigade. During the period under review, 250,000 cases of accident and sudden illness have been treated. Increa ed in terest has been taken in the organisation of Medical Comforts Depots, from which the sick poor and needy may obtain comfort and medical requisites. The admirable spirit which has prompted the efforts of AMBULANCE those engaged in the Motor Transport work of the Brigad TRANSPORT. merits special comment. This work involves the greatest self-sacrifice on the part of those who voluntarily and loyally perform the many demands made upon their leisure hours; th services being maintained by the Brigade not only responds to calls in the case of accidents, but undertakes conveyance of patients from their homes to hospitals, and from hospitals to homes. His Royal Highness the Duke of York in . pected the Prince INSPECTIONS . of Wales's District in Hyde Park on 14th June. The following inspections of Ambulance and Nursing Corps and Divisions were T.(lade by me :-Birmingham Nursing Corps, orthampton, Wellingborough and Kettering Corps; S.E. Lancs. Corps; Cheshire Units; North Derbyshire Corps and Divisions; Hull Corp; wca tIe and District Corps; 1 orth Durham Corps; North Staffordshire Corps and Divisions. The following inspections were made by the Deputy Chief Commissioner :-Slough Divisions, Bristol Corps, Leicester Corp, Birmingham Corps, Cheltenham Corps and Ipswich Corps. The strength of both the Ambulance and Nursing Divi ions on these inspection parades was most satisfactory and showed a great spirit of keenness. The clothing was usually of good quality and well fitted, and the equipment was invariably in excellent order. The marching was good and showed excellent discipline. NO·5 District held a District Camp at Scarborough in June, over 54 I Officers and members attended. The Camp was inspected on my behalf by Colonel C. J. Trimble, the Commissioner of NO.4 District, who reports that the discipline was good and the general tone of the camp was of a high order. The Camp was complete in every detail, and the arrangement were excellent in every respect. The Commissioner NO.5 District has every reason to be satisfied with the Camp formed by the District which he commands. The Competitions for the (( Dewar" Challenge Shield, the COM PETITIONS.

On t.he zznd Tovember I visited the West Riding for the second time during the year, this visit being on the invitation of the County Director, eneral M nd. , with whom I met as many Nursing Divisions of the Brigade and Association V.A.D.'s as possible during the time, the chief object of my vi it being to further the V.A.D . movement . The vi it commenced with an " At Home given by the Lord Mayor and Lady l\Iayores_ of Leeds, which was organised by the COlmtess of Har wood. Two A. ociation V.A.D.'s under Commandants Mrs . Kitson and Ii s Sykes, and three Nursing Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Leeds Nursing Division, Lady Superintendent Miss Lascelles, Victoria Nursing Division, Mrs. Rhodes, and the Stanningley Division, Lady Superintendent Miss Howarth, paraded. I also had the plea ure of meeting many of the Vice-President of the vVe t Riding, all of whom were very keen to forward the V.A.D. movement. There was great enthu iasm when it wa announced that Ladv Harewood had accepted the Presidency of the Brigade for the whole of the vVest Riding and I am ure he will do much to stimulate the work. After staying at Harewood House, I lunched with Lady Katherine Pilkington, Vice-President, and met several other Vice-Presidents, all very k en to help on our work. Later I attended a very large meeting at W orsboro Bridge where I was received by the County Surgeon, Dr. Beverley, and Mrs. Beverley, Lady Superintendent of the Worsboro and District Nursing Diyision. The Ambulance and Nursing and Cadet Divisions of Worsboro and District were on parade and also the Barnsley Ambulance Division with II

Divisional Superintendent Bellamy in charge, and the Wharnec1iffe Silkstone Division with Ambulance Officer Bottomley in charge. On the 24th November I broadcasted from the Leeds Station an account of the Order and of the work done during the great war and also explained the new V.A.D. scheme. Later in the evening I went to Keighley where District Commissioner Colonel Scatterty took the chair, the Mayor of Keighley being present, who informed the audience that he had his First Aid certificate and often gave First Aid help to those in need, and is a keen supporter of the work. The following Ambulance Divisions were represented : Keighley A under Divisional Superintendent H. Hall. \V. H. Smith. Keighley B Bingley R. VV. Goodings. Skipton W. Reynolds. Haworth l~ .

Members from the following Ambulance and Nursing Divisions were present :- Sheffield, Heeley , Ranmoor, Cresswell, and Rotherham. On Wednesday, November 26th, I visited Ilkley and met the As 0ciation's men's and women's V.A.D.'s and also the Burley-in-Wharfedale Nursing and Ambulance Divisions. I met also Mrs. Holmes who had done such splendid work during the war in HuD and who has now gone to reside in the neighbourhood of Ilkley. It is always a very great pleasure to visit NO.5 District, everyone is 0 enthusiastic and the Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner and Lady District Officers are doing. such magnificent work. My vi it was especially to encourage the formatlOn of Voluntary Aid Detachments and also to encourage Association V.A.D.'s to join the Brigade. Every help it was possible to give was given both by the Countess of Harewood and General Mends. Mr. Cross, who is a Knight of the Order, also did much to make my visit a success in Leeds. I also visited Lutterworth in Leicestershire with District Officer Mi s Jackson, where I met the Commandant and members of the Lutterworth V.A.D ., who I hope will shortly join the Brigade. . At your request I addressed a V.A.D . meeting at 'Vlorcester, the Lord Lleute~ant o~ t?-~ County, Lord Cobham, presiding, and I hope as a result, a Nursmg DIV1slOn and V.A.D. may be formed at Kempsey; and also that later I may be able to accept the County Controller's invitation to visit other units in the County.

I am glad to report that increasing numbers of members of the Brigade all over the country are working in the local hospitals. In London it is extremely gratifying that there were over five hundred more attendances than in the previous year, the London Hospital heading the list with 1,527 and Charing Cross next with 1,326. Other hospitals in London where Brigade members worked are the Middlesex; Royal Free; St. Mary Abbots; South London for Women; St. Mary's for Women and Children; Plaistow; East Surrey; and the Children's Home, Plaistow. I cannot express how deeply grateful we are to the Matrons, Sisters and .Nurses in these hospitals for the kindness and help extended so contmuously to our members. It is now some thirteen years since members of the Brigade were first received at the London, Charing Cross and Royal Free Hospitals and I am proud to state that we have kept up that duty continuously, notwithstanding the war. The following letter has been received by a member of the London District, signed by the Chairman of the Charing Cross Hospital, and I know ~ll. the Divi ions of the Brigade will feel proud of such an apprfClatlOn. HOSPITALS.

. "At a meeting of the Nu~sing Committee of this Hospital of which I am Chairman It was brought to our notIce that for many years you have rendered invaluable help in a ~oluntary capacit.y and . I ~m d esired by my colleagues to tender to you an expn'sslOn of our d eep apprecIatIon for all the services you have so freely and readily r end ered. " It is an instance such as this which makes us proud of our Hospital System and 1 am sure that your work on behalf of the sick in this Hospital will bring its own reward t.o you when it is reflected upon. " \Ve hope that you will long be able to continue your work here. and we trust that. you will derive much happiness in the doing of it. "I beg to remain, Yours sincer ely, "(Signed) WALTER SHOWELL, " Chairman."

This was the third year for the Perrott Shield Competition, and I must again put on record our most grateful thanks to . the ~fficers a.nd Members of the Brigade who gave me such ~fficlent help m carrym& out the arrangements. Most especially am I mdebted to Lady DIstnct Superintendent Mrs. Falwasser o. 8 pistrict, and Lady District Officer Mrs. Porter, NO.3 District, who were m cha~ge of the general arrangements on the day, and to Lady Divisional Supenntendents Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Harrop for arranging to meet the teams on their arrival in London. The .Competition was very keen , the first and second teams having respectively 375i and 373 marks. The winners of the Shield were from the Ramsgate Nurs0g Division, No.8 District, and I was proud to think that the Perrott ShIeld was won by a team from a county so intimately connected with the name of Perrott . We are also most grateful to Miss Finch, R.R.C., late Matron of University College Hospital, and to Miss Todd, R.R.C., Matron of the St. J ames Ho~pital, who was Ma,.tron of the St. John Brigade Hospital in France dunng the war, for so kmdly acting as Judges.

The Parade was drawn up in four Ambulance and two ursing Battalions, mustering a total of 2207. After the Inspection the following letter was received from the Equerry to His Royal Highness ; " The Duke of York desires me to write and thank you for the excellent arrangements which you made on the occasion of H .R.H. Inspection of the o. 1. Prince of 'Vales District, of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, in Hyde Park. "The Duke would like me to congratulate the Ambulance men and ursing Sisters on their very smart appearance on parade, and H.R.H. was much impressed by the manner in which the l\Iarch Past was carried out. This reflects great credit on them all, and indicates their high state of efficiency." A large number of members of the District was privileged to be present at the Investiture at Buckingham Palace on St. John's Day, and also at the Royal Garden Party in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, held the following day. The Division of the District under the general control of the Commissioner, into five Areas, each in charge of an Assistant Commissioner, has now been working for more than a year.

THE

ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

The scheme in most Areas is working well, and the Assistan t Commissioners take much pains to keep themselves in touch with the Divisions under their control. I attach report.s from those Assistant Commissioners who have furnished them, and also a report from the Public Duty Officer who deals especially with the work done at the Wembley Exhibition. The Annual Dinner of Officers was held at the Connaught Rooms on Saturday, the 13 th December, 1924. It was well attended, the principal guests being the Acting Chief Commissioner, Major General Sir Percival Wilkinson, who was accompanied by Lady Wilkinson and Colonel Cameron . I would like to express my appreciation of the work done by my Assistant Commissioners in charge of Areas, and also to District Surgeon Dr. R. Connon Robertson, District Officers S. B. Piers, S. J. Warren and Captain Franks. They have all had loyal help from the various members of the Staff, but it would be invidious to attempt to name all those who deserve commendation. I have the honour, Sir, to remain, Your 0 bedien t servan t, W. HUMPHRIS WI NY, Commissioner. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of J erusalem in England.

Copy of Report from Lt.-Colonel F. A. Brooks, M.D., Assistant Commissioner -in charge of the Western Area : " I beg to report that during the year I have visited all the Divisions, both Ambulance and Nursing, with one exception, in the above Area, and in nine cases conducted the Re-examination myself, so I am in a position to say that the greater number of the Divisions are in a high state of efficiency. One or two of the Nursing Divisions want recruits badly, but t.he Lady Superintendents have organised -classes with a satisfactory result. The stretcher drill has had more attention paid to it, since my last report to you. There will be in a few weeks time five V .A.D.s in the Area; and I am trying to increase that number. I have to thank my Area Officer, District Officer Clifford, and Lady District Officer Miss Twiss, for much loyal help in the Area." Copy of Report from Dr. C. J . R. facFadden, O.B.E., Assistant Commissioner in charge of Northern Area : " I beg to report that the Divisions within the Northern Area of the Prince of Wales District are in a satisfactory condition, and that the standard of efficiency on the whole is well maintained. Two new Divisions have been formed within the past year, the Tottenham Gas Division, and a Nursing Division at Tottenham, making a total of 12 Ambulance Divisions and 7 Nursing Divisions in t.he Iorthern Area. A number of Church Parades h ave b een held and have been well attended and .carried out to my satisfaction. These forms of parade, held locally, appear to me to be more popular amongst the members, than the District Parade, and I believe are more likely to bring the working of the Brigade more prominently before the eyes of the public than a District parade would. "Most of the Divisions have been inspected during the past year, and it is satisfactory to remind you that this Area supplied the winning teams in both Ambulance and Nursing Divisions in the London District Competitions last year. " Through the kindness of Mrs. Chapin, a fund has been established to afford assistance to Nursing Divisions in furthering their work, and a committee of administration, composed of Lady District Officer Miss Hoare and Lady Divisional Superintendents Miss Walker and Mrs. MacFadden, is r esponsible for carrying out those duties. " I am pleased to report that my District Officer, Dr. Connon Robertson, has been promoted to the position of District Surgeon, and am indebted to him for his .ever willing assistance to me while he was my District Officer. I am equally inde bted to my Lady District Officer, Miss Hoare, for much valuable help.

" I would conclude by expressing my appreciation of the loyalty and assistance of all Officers of the Area and the spirit of good fellowship amongst the rank and file." Copy of Report received from Dr. E. McIntyre, Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Southern Area:" I beg to present my report for the past year. " There would seem to be a steady increase in the numbers belonging to the Brigade, and what is perhaps more pleasing, a marked improvement in the keenness and spirit of the individual m ember. "Several Divisions have been instructed by myself and my District Officer,. and found to be satisfactory, and all Divisions have been visited at their respective stations, on Whit- 10nday and August Bank Holiday. All stations were well manned both by Ambulance and Nursing Divisions, and work was proceeding very satisfactorily. " A central ofi'ice has been opened, and has already been the means of bringing Officers in touch with myself and with each other, which would not have been possible in such a wide area, by any other means. " I am also glad t.o state that, as far as I ascertain, there has been an increase in the number of local duties ." Copy of R port received from Dr. . Corbet Fletcher, Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Central Area : " I have to report that in the few months available since my appointment as Officer in Charge of Central Area, I have been in close touch with my Divisions, several of which I have inspected personally, and that with one exception I am well pleased with the efficiency of the Divisions and the completeness of their equipment. " 'W ith the active co-operation of my Superintendents, I have inaugurated a series of Area Educational Lectures which include topics of general interest and are ~iven by recognised experts. I propose to conduct Area Lectures on First Aid and ursing chiefly because I find that many Officers and ~ .C.O.s., do not hold the ursing Certificate of the Association, possession of which should in my opinion be made compulsory for promotion. Further the social side of our work is not being neglected. " The respon e to the calls of the Public Duty Officer has been in every way sati factory, and good work has been done, when the need arose, at the World's FaIr, on Parliament Hill, on Blackheath, and other open spaces." o report has yet been received from ssistant Commissioner S. H. ','ilven, on the work done in the Eastern Area for the year 1924. In th conr-.;e of the r port from the Public Duty Officer he states : " A 11st of duties arranged for from Head-quarters giving in each case the parade trength and number of ca es treated, is attached. Particulars concerning duties arranged for by local Divisions are not included, as necessary details are not to hand. "l:Jri~ish EmpIre Exhibition. Having already submitted reports to you in con.necbon with the British Empire Exhibition Duty, at the completion of each pe~l~d, I am only including for thIS Annual Report as copy of my final statistics for thIS Important duty . " I.am glad to be able to report that the Bngade arrangements made for this duty m 1<)24 proved quite satisfactory. There was always more than sufficient rank and file, including Nursing Sisters, available, to cover the British Empire Exhibition duty, in addition to the large numbers required for other public functions, such as race meetings, and local duties, whi h I think reflects well on No. 1. District as a whole. "!I:e. Pr:ovin ia~ Districts, in helping this District with the British Empire Exhiblbon duty, WIth one exception, provided all the personnel required of them. . "The duties during the past year, I think, constitute a record. Great praise IS due to Lady District Ofiicer Miss Rideout, District Officer S. B. Piers, Superintendtendent Hamburger, irs. Horton, and also to the other Officers who assisted me at the British Empire Exhibition, and to the rank and file generally, including the Ambulance .Sisters, who did so well during the year in helping towards the successful carrymg out of so many Ambulance duties. The local Divisions in the v~eI??ley District. viz., Wembley and Harlesden, Harrow, and \Vembley Nursing DIVlslOns, as I have already reported, did exceptionally good work at the British Empire Exhibition."

SIR, I.have the honour to submit the County of Berkshire report for the Brigade year endlllg 3 1st December, 1924. The total strength in this county is 256 men and 3 6 women and there are also 54 cadets. The number of cases attended during the year was 47I. I.am happy to report that all Divisions have worked energetically and efficiently dunng the year. .1 ,,?sh to say ~hat ::'.Ir. J. H. Batt has been a most efficient and painstaking Dlstnct Officer smce hIS promotlOn to that rank in 1923 and I have to thank him and all ranks of the Brigade in Berkshire for much kind help and support in my work as Assistant Commissioner. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant. A. G. OSBORN, M.B., Assistant Commissioner for the County of Berks. Honorary Serving Brother of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

PersoIl11cl.-There are 10 Ambulance Divisions with 212 members and 5 ursing Divisions 'with 79 members, making a total of 15 Divi<;ions with a personnel of 291. 41 new members have joined during the year. A Boys' Cadet Division of 27 members has been formed at Slough. 220 members are in possession of the full regulation uniform. The Olney .\mbulance and ursing Divisions have been transferred from the County of Northampton, 0.3 District, and a new l\len's Divison formed at Lavendon. The Brigade is now strongly represented in the most orthern and Southern parts of the County. Inspectiolls.-The Divisions at Slough were inspected by the Deputy Chief Commissioner and the remainder by me. The Chief Commi sioner in acknowledging the inspection reports expressed IllS satisfaction at the progress made and the general efficiency of the Divisions. CompelLtwns.-(a) " Dewar" and" Perrott" Shield Competitions. The County Preliminary for the" Dewar" Shield was held at High 'Vycombe on Izth April, teams from the 'Volverton and High 'Vycombe Diyi ions competing . The \Yolverton team won and represented the County in the District Preliminary held at Oxford on the 26th April. As the team from the Buckingham ursing Division was the only one which entered for the "Perrott" Shield, it represented the County in the District I'rehmll1ary. It is interesting to record that the \Volverton Ambulance and Buckingham • "nr,;ing Teams gamed first place in the District Preliminary, and represented the lJis1.riG1. in the Finals III London on the 23rd l.lay, where they gained third and tenth place respectively. Pnzes were presented to both teams by H.R.H. The Duchess of York. (b) Joint County Competitions. The .\nnual ounty Competitions were held at Aylesbury on the 21St June, and the follO\nng trophies wen~ gained by teams from Divisions of the Brigade : :'.Ien. Aylesbury Division The " .;\layors " County Challenge Shield. The" Bucks. Joint Committee" Cup. The" Lady Rothschild" Challenge Cup. The" Carlile" Challenge Cllp. " -o men. Chesham .

The ups and Shield were presented by The Lady Cottesloe. (c) "Dewar" County Challenge hield. The Lord Dewar has presented a Challenge Shield, valued at i50, for competition amongst Ambulance Divisions in the County each year. (d) EHiciency Cups. The winner of the" Scales Carter" Efficiency Cup for 192-1- is not yet known. To encourage eiliciency amongst the ursing Divisions, Colonel Francis 'V. Pixley, the County Representative of the Order for Buckinghamshire, has presented a Silver Cup to be awarded to the most efficient ursing Division in the County each year. il'lotor ,lmbulance Service.-The manner in which members have sacrificed their leisure hours to undertake duty with the l\Iotor Ambulance Service is very praiseworthy and calls for special commendation. The service not only undertakes the removal of invalids to and from their homes or hospitals, but also responds to calls made by the Police or other authori lies in cases of accicl.ents. The Officers in charge of the Ambulances are to be congratulated on the efficient manner in which the Service is maintained. Each Ambulance i made, as far as possible, self-supporting by a mileage charge to cover the cost of running, repairs and replacements.

Public Duty.-The total number of public duties undertaken amounted to 178 and 891 cases were attended to by m embers. 268 Hospital attendances were mad e by members of the Slough and Olney ursing Divisions. Headquarters at Aylesbury.-An outstanding event is the provision of Headquarters for the Aylesbury Divisions by the Mayor (Alderman G. J. Thra her) and Council. These Headquarters comprise a garage for the Motor Ambulance and two spacious rooms for classes and practices. These were opened by Colonel Francis W. Pixley on the 8th May. Clinic at Newport Pagnell.-The Lady Superintendent and m embers of the Olney Nursing Division continue to render valuable service at the ewpo rt Pagnel! Orthopcedic Clinic, which forms part of the Joint Organization of the County.

Voluntary Aid Detachments.-The Aylesbury mbulance and Nursing Divisions have formed V.A .D's for local service. These Detachments have been registered at the \Var Office. Others are in process of formation. Conclusion.-I desire to again place on r eco rd my high appreciation of the keenne s and ability of the Divisional Officers who have loyally and devotedly carried out thei r duties; and to the N.C .O's and other ranks of Ambulance and ursing Divi ions for their practical and efficient co-operation on all occasions. I wish also to express my grateful thanks to the County Staff Officers for thei r valuable assistance . I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, P . G. DARVIL-S lITH, Assistant Commissioner County of Buckingham . The Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade.

COU TY OF GLOUCESTER. BELLE VUE HOUSE, CHELTENHA to 22nd January, 1925 . THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE, I have the honour to submit my Report for the year ending 1924, which has not been marked by any great changes, or event of outstanding importance. During the period under review I have noted a keener spirit among the personnel and feel we are getting down to work as it was before the war period. All the Corps and Divisions in the County were inspected during July by Colonel G. A. Moore, the Deputy Chief Commissioner, whose report I received with much gratification. All ranks are doing good work and it is pleasing to note a good entry of young recruits, while a large percentage of older members still remain as evidenced by the application for service medals. During the year I have visited all Corps and Divisions in the County and found conditions satisfactory and flourishing. The members are showing a great deal of keenness and a spirit of ready loyalty and obedience to their officers.

DISTRICT.

umerous public duties have been performed in a highly ~atisfactory. manner, and I would call especial attention to the Ambulance serVlces at Bnstol and Cheltenham . . . My personal thanks are due to all ranks, m.ore particu.l ady Lady Distnct Supenntendent Mrs. Griffiths and District Officer Bntton of Bnstol. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, HUGH POWELL (Capt.), Assistant Commissioner County of Gloucester.

COUNTY OF SOMERSET. THE CmEF COMMISSIONER, IR, 1st March, 19 2 5. I have the honour to state that the Brigade, in Somerset, has maintained its fficiency. All ranks have, I believe, done their best as opportunity offered, and they have given me unswervmg, loyal support. . Other than local duty, the only occasion for" Showing the Flag" was 10 June, when the Weston-Super-Mare Ambulance Division did duty at The Bath and West of England Show at Taunton, supplying personnel and a motor wagon for the last two day' the first three days being allotted to the B .R.C.S. The V.' .D . movement has not been taken up as it should be, but I hope for better thing in 1925 . I am happy to ay that the Weston-Super-l\I~re Ambulance ~lass of the. ~.W.R.T. have formed a strong Division, which I expect wlll make a name 10 CompetItIon work. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient se rvant, ARTHUR J . CARY (Lt.-Col.), Assistant Commissioner fo r Somersetshire.

COUNTY OF WILTS. c/o \V . D. & H . O. WILLS, COLBOURNE STREET, SWINDON . THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, LONDON . DEAR SIR, 16th January, 19 2 5 . r beg to submit report for my County for year ended 31St December, 19 2 4 .... I inspected the S,vindon Division on D ecember 8th, 1924'.27 of the DIVls~on being present. The absentees, being Railway m en, were unavoldably absent .o:v~ng to their duti es. The drill and deportment of the men were excellent .. The DlVlslon is growing and is becoming more known in the Town an~ are bellg . freq~ently called upon for duty at various local functions, where they gIve every sat~sfa~tLOn. J regret that the Box DiviSIOn, in spite of ~y e very en d eavo~r to re~ve 10terest in it, would not m eet and therefo re has been dIsbanded by your lllstructIons as from November 30th laot. . . During the vear I have approached the Railway Class Secretanes at Sahsbury, Warmmste r, \Vestbury, Powsey, and Marlborough in the endeavour to get them ~o start a Divi. ion of the Brigade in these places, but while I have had sympathetIc letters from them and they have promised to try to do so, I am afraid the questIOn of finance and uniform is, as always, a stumhling block, and it is difficult to get any local people to take any interest in the m att er and the Towns are too far apart and difficult of acces for me to personally supervise the starting of them. I ha~e . ~lso written to the ::\lalmesbury Class and they also promise to try and start a DIVlSIOn there . It appears to m e , however, that the only way to get these Towns to make an attempt at starting Divisions, is for an Officer like District Officer Hanmer to visit the towns and get into personal touch with the local people and to get hold of the right m en to take the matter up and promise to support the movement. Correspondence, which is all I can do in the matter, does not seem to have any effect. I have the honour to be, Sir, Yours obedient servant, A. R. TOWERZEY, Assistant Commissioner for Wilts.

LONGFORD GRANGE, COVENTRY. SIR, 18th February, 19 2 5 . I have the honour to report that the work of the Brigade has been well maintained in this District. Six new Ambulance Divisions have been formed andonere-orgarused : also one Nursing Division and four Cadet Divisions have come into beinO" and another is in course of organisation at Coventry. Three Divisions have bbeen disbanded. .Headquarters at uneaton were opened in August by Lord Leigh, the Lord LIeutenant, who was accompanied by Lady Leigh: in the autumn a sale of work in a~d of the funds was held, and Lady ..L ewdigate very kindly opened the proceedmgs on the first day. Markc~ Harborough, -too, has seen its aims materialise in first rate Headquarters and Lye IS no longer dependent on other people for accommodation. T~lC Corps and Division~ in Leicestershire undertook duty at the Royal AgrIcultural Show and acqUItted themselves to the satisfaction of the authoritics and the public. The usu a~ Inspections ?-<l:v~ been. held ~uri~g tJ:1e year, and I would especially draw attentIOn to the exhibItIOn of hfe-saVIng m mmes given by m en from the Griff Colliery Division at the Inspection of the "Varwickshire Corps at Rugby. The required personnel was forthcoming for duty at "Vembley, and no doubt will be in evidence there again in 1925.

THE

ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

Brigade Days are becoming more popular, but several Corps and Divisions still abstain from bringing their claims for duty well down to public notice. This re-acts on the funds of both Brigade and District H eadquarters and should not be. lt is with r egret I record the r esignation of Mr. A. W. Faire, O.B.E ., D.L., a Knight of Grace of the Order, and Assistant Commissioner for the County of Leicester. III health and increasing years has d eprived the Brigade in that County of a steadfast fri end and keen Officer, who would have done more for our work if local prejudice had not intervened. lay he enjoy better health with less work. With this report the old o. 3 Di. trict ceases to exist as such, and becomes No 3 " Eastern" and" ·Western." This is the fate of increasing m embers and is the second time that we have lost a limb. I should like to express my appreciation of the work done by, and the kindly spirit shown to me, by Officers and men in the severed Counties. May success attend them st ill. In conclusion I have to thank all ranks for the support given to me, without which it would be impossible to carryon the work of the Brigade successfully. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, \V. DORE RUDGARD. Chaplain of the Order of St. John of To the Acting Chief Commissioner. Jerusalem .

(30.9.I3·)-Lady of Grace. REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER. 17, WINCKLEY SQUARE, PRESTON. SIR, 27th March, 19 2 5. I have now the opportunity of handing you my Annual Report for the area of the St. John Ambulance Brigade placed under my control. This statement covers the period 1st January to 31st December, 19 2 4. It is with great sati faction that I am in a position to record the fact that Brigade ambulance work has decidedly put forth considerably more energy and the outlook is certainly more hopeful and encouraging. Smce the war, it appears to me that the great difficulty experienced by all voluntary organisation, has been to overcome an enormous wave of selfishness, which appeared to get hold of our entire population, and this selfishness developed a very undesirous principle which demanded payment for all services rendered. Of course, the adoption of this course so far as the Order of St. John is concerned would viciate the Christian-like work of the Order. In recording the position of o. 4 District, conditions have much improved and I trust that we will soon be back again to the days when everyone was striving to outdo each other in the work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The present strength of the District is as follows : Corps, 13; Ambulance Divisions, 121; Nursing Units, 93; Cadet Ambulance Divisions, 8; Cadet ursing Divisions, 8. I recommend that 6 Ambulance Divisions and 8 Nursing Divisions be disbanded. I have endeavoured for some years to keep these Units alive but this has proved impossible, and I very strongly object to holding on the strength of the District Units that are useless and only appear on paper. The number of Divisions to be struck off, may appear large, but it is a much better policy to get rid of those Divisions that are unable to function efficiently. One Corps has ceased to exist. This is the Manchester Special Constables Corps, which was brought into being by the war. The last units of this organisation are included for disbandment in the number I have just given. Against this decrease I have to record the formation of new units as follows : Ambulance: Lytham St. Annes No. I, Carlisle, Thornton-le-Fylde, Brym.ay

It is encouraging to be able to r ecord that although the disbandment of 0 m'lny Units was necessary, yet the strength of the District has su bstantially increa. ed as follows :-Ambulance Corps and Divisions, 3S0; Nursing Units, 52. I look upon this statement as a very great incentive to further eHorts on the part of everyone connected with the t. John Ambulance Brigade 10 No . .~ DIstrict. Perhaps it is only fair to state that the present strength of our C.tdei. enlts is 174 Boys and 91 Girls. Total 265. 50 per cent. of this number should rc:ally be added t o our increase in strength, as half of these adet Units were organised during the year under review. The net incr ease in District strength can with a fair degree of accuracy be shown as numbering 560 of all grades. The formation of Yoluntary Aid Detachments has not be n taken IIp with the energy one would have expected. Certainly the .L ursing Di\'isions have enrolled to some extent to form these detachments. So far as the men are conccmed they have refused to haye anything to do with the scheme and this has been enttrely due to the uncertainty of the terms of service. There were 315 women enrolled in complete V.A.D.s and 10 Detachments were r egistered at the \Var Office. These figures only apply up to the 3 [st 1 eccmber, IC)24· The organisation of V.A.D's. from Nursing Gnits of the Brigade has been undertaken throughout the whole of NO.4 District by ::'1rs. Tweedale, ,A.R R.C., J.P., the Lady District Superintendent. This is rather a stupendous pI cc of work, but it is being magnificently carried out. Following the custom of the District for some years past, combined parade were organised on two occasions. One covering the area of South East Lancashire and the other embracing Cheshire. I am always particularly interested in these cfforts as I strongly hold the view tha~ the gathering of Units together has a marked tendency to create a friendly feelmg and to develop a spirit of emulation that should I be cultivated in all voluntary organisations. On the 31st May at Oldham the Units comprising the South East Lancashire Corps and Divisions paraded for inspection by you. Close on 2,000 of a ll ranks were present. The usual ceremonial was adopted :-general salute, inspection of the ranks, march past, demonstration of drill and first aid. There were 38 Ambulance Divisions, 38 ursing Units and 3 Cadet Divisions repr esented . During the parade a very interesting ceremony took place. Assistant Commissioner Pim very generously presented to the District an exceedingly handsome black silk flag em blazoned with the arms 0 f the Order. After the dedication 0 f the flag by the Dean of Hochdale, you, as Acting Chief Commissioner, accepted it, and handed same over to me as Commissioner for o. 4 Distnct.

DISTRICT.

I have on several occasions tried to express to Assistant CommisSlOner Pim my great gratitude for his thoughtfulness and liberality, and I feel certain that the whole District is exceedingly pleased and gratified by this gift. During the year our Distr ict flag has been much sought after ann. used. The Mayor of Oldham held a r eception prior to the Review and Sir George Needham J.P., Knight of Grace of the Order, very kindly and generously entertained the District Staff and others at dinner. The ChICshire Corps and Divisions paraded at Romiley on the 12th July and were inspected by you. The usual cC'remonial was carried out. The Parade State showed that IS Ambulance Dlvisions, numbering 293, and 12 ursing Divisions, numbering qI, were on parade, giving a total, including Staff, of 43 8 . On the occasIOns o{ both the parades named, certain members of the District Sta.ff were in command. You were pleased to write and express your approval of all yOll had seen on both these occa. LOns, and your remarks were highly appreciated when conveyed to the District throllgh the medmm of a District Order and at Annual Conference. The usual annual competitlOns were carrieCl through. Information conceming these I will cond('nse as far as po:-;sible, but in the interests of those v.. ho organise these tests I think attention should be drawn to th em. The importance o{ competitions cannot be overrated and personally I think they stimulate and broadcast enicicncy :-" Dewar" Shield (Preliminary).

Corps Superintendent Cran, through his orps S('crctary, report that this duty was most excellently carried out, which reflect-; the greatest credit on all ranks. The Manchester aDd Salford Corps also undertook duty at the Thanksgi\'ing ervicp Royal Tational Lifeboat Institution on the 4th l\Iay; 13 Officers and T I I _ .C.O.s and men, together with 6 Lady Ambulance Officers and 41 Ambulance Sisters were 011 paracle. On the occasion of the Pilgrimage to Lourdes, Officers and men of the above Corp undertook the transport sen-icc in connection with the departure and return of the pilgrims. This duty was undertaken at your request. I should like to draw attention to a real deyiation from First Aid work. Annually the members of the North ::'1anchester DiviSlOns entertain from three to four hundred little children who are Ie s fortunately situated than others. A good tea is provided and each child takes away ,'lith it a little packet of luxuries. A concert is given and songs and games are indulged in. I think the example of the orth ::'Ianche ter Divisions might be followed by other units of the Brigade. For duty at \Vembley on three different occasions, o. 4 District supplied 3 Officers, 6 Sergeants, 5-1 Corporals and Privates, and 5 Ambulance Sisters. Total 6S. The Liverpool mbulance and Nur.ing Divisions undertook and carried out duty in St. Georges' and Picton Halls, at the c.::'I. Exhibition, which. extended over a period 0 r ixteen days, from the 22nd Sept em ber to the 9th Octo ber.

Some 260 of all ranks paraded, and r64 of these were supplied by the Liverpool Corps. 13 St. J ohn Ambulance Sisters assisted the len's detachment of the B.R.C.~ . . 2I6caseswere attended to by the Brigade members. Letters of thanks and appreclatIOn were receIved from Lord Derby, The Lord Bishop, The Lord Mayor, Chief Co,r;stahle a.nd othe~s: . Captain Pugh deserves credit for the organising of this duty. The vVldnes DIVISIOn took duty at Prescot on the 18th July durin a the arrival of Their Majesties The King and Queen. b "The Chief Constable of Lancashire wrote expressing his appreciation at the duty performed." On the 27th September a new Drill Hall was opened at Burnley by you, Si r, a.s Secretary General of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in England. A consIder~ble parade was formed from local Units of the Brigade, both Ambulance and Nurs~ng under the command of Assistant Commissioner Pim. Attending the opemng ceremony were the Lord Lieutenant (Lord Shuttleworth, p.c.), the Mayor of Burnley and other local ladies and gentlemen. On the 3rd November, a terrible railway accident occurred near Lytham. The promptness of the Kirkham Division m arriving at the scene of the accident will live t o ~he credit of the .Unit for a long time. I furnished a complete report of this .accldent and the serVIces rendered . It is to be recorded that the Blackpool Division also responded to the call for this duty. It IS impossible in a report like this to go into complete details. C?n the 20th November the Preston Corps were summoned to a railway accident which occurred outside Preston . Within a few minutes of the notice of the accident being receiv~d, C?fficers and. men arrived were the smash took place. The great promptness 10 this mstance IS a reflection of preparedness. Some 600 members of the Brigade assembled from all parts of the District to attend the Annual Conference at Morecambe, on the 4th October. The rayor of Morecambe (Ald. Siddle, J.P.) addressed the Conference and welcomed those present . The usual business ,:,as t.ransacted. and afterwards the delegates sat down to a comfortable te~ prOVIded ill the Dnll Hall. I am always favourably impressed by the good accruillg from these gatherings. On the occa<;ion of the meeting of the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society'~ Sho:" held at M<l:nchester on the 31st July, 1St, 2nd and 4th August, the Am bulance station was eqUIpped and ambulance duty carried out under the superintendence of Corps. Superintend.ent Cap~ain R. D. Cran, by the ::\Ianchester and Salford Corps The. duties were carned out ill a most satisfactory and e[flcient manner and this lS tes~iiied .to by a leiter received by me from the Secretary to the Society, expressing satisfactIOn at all that had been done. The fore~oing statement may appear somewhat lengthy, but in the interests of t~e e.nthuslasm and e?ergy displayed by all mem bers of the S.J .A.B. in No. 4 Dlst:r:ct, I ~eg to submIt a stateD?-ent o~ some of the work done during the year 19 2 4, and ill clos1Og :uy Report I agam deSlre to convey to the members of my District St~ff my great llldebted.ness for their individual and collective loyalty and assistance. WIthout such support It would be utterly impossible for me to attempt to manage the work of this large area. To the Officers both male and female and all other ranks of the Brigade, I am ~qu<l:lly grateful,. for.much of our success is due to local influence, and this influence IS raIsed and mamtamed through those I have just named. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, . CHARLES J. TRIMBLE (Colonel). Kmght of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

I am pleased to report a st eady increase in efficiency and numbers and I feel justified in looking to the future with a confidence which has not b een possible at any time since the Great War. I am pleased to r eport that the District Camp at Scarborough during Whit week was in every way a success and received high commendation from the Inspecting Officer. Much encouragement has been given to the District by the several viSIts of the Acting Chief Commissioner and the Lady Superintendent in Chief of Nursing Corps and Divisions. It is with r egr et that I have to refer to the loss to the District in the d eath of Corps Officer James Allcock and Divisional Superintendent W. H. Tatham. They were energetic officers and their services will be greatly missed. I would like to avail myself of this opportunity of thanking my staff for their continued most loyal support. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, S. W. MALKIN, Commissioner. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. J ohn.

June, 19 2 5.

Sm, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 3 1st December, 19 2 4. The .\.m bulance Divisions in this District show an incr ease in personnel of II 6 but I re~ret to report a decrease in the membership of ~ursing Divisions of 2S-which r epresents a nct increase in numerical strength of 9 1 , as follows : Ambulance Divisions 2,831 Officers and other ranks. ursing Divisions 991 ditto. Total There arc in addition IS9 Boy Cadets and IS7 Girl Cadets, making a grand total of 4,13 8 . Two new DiviSIOns have been formed and registered during the year-the "Vest Pelton and Twizell Division in Co. Durham and the B.O.C.l\I. (British Oil and Cake lills) Division a part of the Hull Corps. Cadet Divisions have been registered during the year at Jarrow, and Sacriston (attached to the Charlaw and Sacriston Collieries Division), and Cadet ursing Divisions attached to the orth Shields and Hull Central Nursing Divisions. 0 Divisions have been disbanded during the past twelve months. I much regret to record the loss of the services of Lieut.-Col. C. B. Palmer, who r esigned the Commissionership of the District in September last. The large increase in the strength of the District during the twenty years, fifteen of which he held the

No. VI.

T HE ST. JO HN AMBULANCE BRI GADE.

office of Commissioner, bears eloquent testimony to the zeal with which he carried out the duties, more especially d uring the strenuous years of the Great War. . It is desired to place on record the appreciation of the Officers and Members of the BrIgade of the very valuable services rendered by Colonel Palmer to the Ambulance movement in this district. Col. Palmer spared neither time nor substance in the carrying out of his duties. quota of 28 men (various ranks) and 5 Ambulance, isters undertook duty at the British Empire Exhibition, vVembley, during the week ending 28th Jun 19 2 4. The District was represented at the Empire Day Thanksgiving Service by a number of the competing teams, and a boy <l.nd girl Cadet. An event which added much interest to, and encouragement in, the work was the visit of the Acting Chief Commissioner in October, when a series of inspections wen' carried out.

\VHITEHALL, PONTESBURY, SHREWSBURY. SIR, 31st December, 1924. I have the honour to report that in this District increased interest and keenness has been manifested by ursing and Ambulance Divisions, and the desire fo r C'fficiency more obvious, and I think what I would venture to describe as a r evived Interest wiIllead to better results in the future. Public work has been carried out as on former lines 10 respect of the great Floral Fete at Shrewsbury, the Shropshire and \Vest Midland how, through the winter at all the football matches, together with many other minor public duties, and t.he thanks and appreciation shown by public bodies and ot.hers is an encouragement to further efforts. In r espect to the Floral Fete at 'hrewsbury I think it would be a great stimulus and help to the District if a superior Officer of the Brigade could visit the Show this year to inspect the arrangementsmade, the work done, and offer any criticism necessary. Thepersonalinspection of the Division, which with your permission, Sir, and the kind assistance of the Di trict Lady Superintendent, the County Surgeon and District Officer, I have been enabled to carry out will be productive of much good, for it has not only brought me in close touch with the Divisions, but enabled me to deal with matters in detail that can barely be touched upon at a general inspection. I have great hopes that the seed sown at Hereford will bring forth good fruit, for there are already indications of it. The ursing Division there is very keen and uomg excellent work, and I am using every effort of encouragement in that quarter. I have lately, on enquiry, been informed that classes are being formed to recstabli h the ),Iuch Wenlock Ambulance Division. There is every probability that the Hanwood ursing Division will be reformed, but sickness and death have sadly interfered ,vith arrangements it was thought would be carried out there. The competItion for the ursing Challenge Shield in the District was very keen. The hield was awarded to Shrewsbury o. 2, but the margin of marks separatmg them from the Market Drayton Division was very small. There was a larger entry than at any previous competition. There were fewer entries from t.he Ambulance Division for the competition for the hand orne haUenge Cup provided by the kindness of the Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association than I should like to have seen, but the contest was a keen one and the trophy won by the Oswestry Ambulance Division. I feel sure there WIll be a larger entry next year. I have the well being of this District very much at heart, but am very conscious that much has been left undone that ought to have been done. I have given of my best and only lack of leisure time has prevented me from further effort. I have to acknowledge with most grateful thanks the kindness, courtesy and loyal help extended to me by the Staff, Corps and Divisional Officers, Lady Officers and Privates in carrying out the duties which are entrusted to my hands. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, J. W OODWARD RILEY. Esquire of the Order. The Acting Chief Commissioner. 7

REPORT OF THE CO-:'DIIS IO~ER. TIIE DELL, \VOKIXG, URREY. SIR, 24th \Iay, 10 2 5. I have the honour to present my report for the year ending 31st December, H)24· I regret that the returns from Units showing the strength of the Di trict are not quite accurate. Four Units have not yet sent in their return in spite of repeated application. I think that it may be in the best interests of the Brigade that disciplinary action should be taken in future years agall1st the Officers in charge oi such Units, as they are obviously unfitted to hold a pOltion of re-;ponsibility in the Brigade. The returns sent in show an increase in strength of 236 over 1923, the total strength being 1297 on 31st December, 1924, made up as follows : District Staff 15 AMBULANCE. <) Corps Officers 24 Div.

One Ambulance nit (Guildford Railway Division) and one Nursing Unit (Milton Regis Division) have been formed this year. Transport.-This is becoming more and more important in my District, and the pu bhc are unanimous in their appreciation of the excellence of our work, and the skill and promptitude with which our Units carry out this important part of their duties. I would particularly draw your attention to the Guildford Corps. They possess one of the finest ambulance cars in the country, and by their efficient organisation, promptitude and skill are serving their district to the complete satisfaction of everybody. This satisfaction is shown by the local financial support given to this branch of our work, and has enabled this Corps to carry out all invalid transport within the Borough of Guildford-and all accident cases-absolutely free of charge. This scheme was origi.nated on 1st May, 1924, and up to 31st December, 19 2 4, they had carried 185 ca es free. The first three months of 19 2 5 show 7 8 " free" cases. I hope that other nits will be tempted to try this scheme, as I believe it will have amos t b neficial effect upon the financial support given to them by the pu blic. :'IIy District, as last year, provided personnel for the First id for the Summer Camp held at ~ orman's Bay, Pevensey, to the complete satisfaction of the Hon. Organiser a nd Camp Commandant. \\"C' also supplied some details for \Vembley duty, but the response to my appeal was not so good as it would have been if we could have been allotted an earlier or later date. Th summer months in my District are very busy months for most of our l'nits, a they are principally concerned 'with seaside resorts and agriculture, and cannot get away from work. Church Parade.-On October 19th, 1924, by the kind invitation of the Very Rev. the Dean, a hurch Parade wae held .for Kent Units at Rochester Cathedral; 355 :'lIen and Ambulance isters paraded under the command of l\Iajor oble, Assistant CommlssLOner, and i\Irs. Falwa ser, Lady District Superintendent, and about 25 0 men from o. XI.I istrict and 12 Ambulance Sisters and I Lady Ambulance Officer from th London Bridge ursing Division, with the consent of their Commissioner. The sermon was preached by the Precentor (Rev. R. Johnstone, M.A.) and in spite of very inclement weather the parade was a great success. Unfortunately, the Dean, who had intended to take the service, was away from home. He had taken a very active and sympathetic interest in all the preliminary arrangements, and we are grateful to him for his very kind invitation. Competitions.-The District Competitions were held as usual. \Ve have to express our gratitude again to the Earl and Countess of Onslow for entertaining all the Judges, Competitors and friends at Clandon Park where the Surrey County ompetitions were held, and for presenting a silver medal to each winning team. \Ve also appreciate very highly the work of the Judges, upon whose efforts depends the success of these competitions.

Perratt Shield. Ramsgate Nursing Division won the Perratt Shield in London. Upon their return they were accorded a civic reception, and the whole District join with me in congratulating them upon their success. It must also be a source of pride to Dr. Cotton, the late Commission er, that his old Unit should continue to add to their many previous honours. Speaking generally, I think I m ay state that my District is slowly but steadily improving, and becoming more efficient. All are filled with a sense of responsibility for the work they so cheerfully and unselfishly perform and are anxious to prove themselves worthy members of our great Order. There is also definite evidence that their efforts are becoming more appreciated by the pu blic, who recognise that the St. John uniform means" competence." I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to all the m embers of my Staff for their loyal support and assistance during the past year. I would also like to thank all those of the "rank and file" who give their service, time and money for the work of the Brigade, and I fully recognise that it is their enthusiasm and love for humanity which keeps the Brigade in existence in my District. I have the honour to r emain, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. VER ON DAVIES, Commissioner. Knight of Grace of the Order of St . John. The Acting Chief Commissioner.

J . ~1arsh, Exeter, Superintendent James, Redruth. Bar :-Sergeant Rich, Plymouth. Obituary.-It is with great regret that I have to record the deaths of Dr. B. J. J\Iayne, Lady Superintendent Mrs Chellow and Superintendent Bastion. Dr. :'IIayne was Hon. Surgeo n to Pool Division from 1910. He was a most enthusiastic worker on behalf of the Association and Brigade. He gave many free lectures. He was held in affectionate regard throughout the :'IIining area of Cornwall. The inhabitants of Illogan have raised a parish memorial to his work in the form of a motor ambulance and named it Florence Nightingale." Irs. Chellow, who died on T 4th August, 1924, was Lady Superintendent of Falmouth Nursing Division for some years and was largely r esponsible, through her untiring work, for the present high state of efficiency of the Falmouth Division. She was a member of the Joint County Committee of the Order of St. John and the B.R.C.S. The Falmouth Tursing Division hopes to secure a motor ambulance as a memorial to theIr late Superintendent. Superintendent Bastion was a member of Pool (Carnbrea) Division, for fifteen year~. By dmt of keenness a.nd perseverance he worked his waY:' up thr~ugh the Division from a Private. He was the leader of the Pool team durmg the hme they won so many prizes. He was the moving spirit in secu ring the Hor~e Ambulance and the Hut for the Division. Although very ill he insIsted on appeanng before the hlCf omnllSSlOner when he viSIted Cornwall in October, 19 2 3. This was the last time I saw him but the impre sion he left with me will eve r remain . taff and Perollllel.-It is always a genuine pleasure to me to write about my taff Ofhcers. It is so easy to say complimentary things when they are really true. :'Iv Onlcers are so sincere, enthusiastic and keen that one's difficulties are eased so co'n . JcleralJly. There is great consolation in the fact that our cumu latiye effort has ach.ieved no small measure of success in this South "\Veste rn District. Their and my troubles would be much less if Divisional Superintendents or Secretaries were more prompt in replying to letters or in rendering annual returns. One word must be said of the District Sergeant-Major: since he has been checking the records not a single form has been referred back from your office. This speaks for itself. IIe most ably kept the flag flying at home during my five months' absence on the 'ontinent in the early part of the year. As I am contemplating retiring from taking an active part in the Brigade \york in 1<)25 and asking your permission to go on the Reserve, I wish to place on record my \ cry graLeful thanks to all those Officers and other ranks who ha.ve served me so well and faithfully. The year closed with bright prospects of new Ambulance Divisions being started at Xcwquay and Barnstaple, and Kursing Divisions at Bovey Tracey, Vi: eymouth, Dorchester, ullompton and Dawlish. Cadet Divisions are being formed at Redruth, Illogan, Newquay, Camel's Head (Devonport) and Bodmin for boys and at Falmouth for girls. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, C. 1. ELLIS (Colonel), Commissioner, o. IX. District, St. John Ambulance Brigade. It

DISTRI CT.

Active propaganda wo r k ha taken place all over the D istrict in connection with the V.A.D. scheme and sev eral detachments a r e in course of formation, b u t p r ogr ess is slow and difficult. There is a general stringency of money in the d istrict and in consequence we suffer. The various Co rps and Divisions manage t o pay their way with suhscription s b ut District has difficulty in making ends m eet. -r: he proportion of the proceeds of flag days do not amount to much and we could do With much more, but the stringency referred to handicaps us and our wo rk. Many old and valued officers have resigned or transferred to the reserve. These we miss, but there are competent and willing juniors always willing to step up. The Ipswich Drill Hall of inestimable value to the Ipswich Corps was as a r esult: of the war allowed to get neglected and as a result we are faced with a new roof and various other expenses in connection \vith it that we can ill afford. But the wor.k mu t he done or the place will go to ruin. Gas lighting has heen replaced byelectnc lighting and is not only a boon but an economy. Th District is now getting into a good position, regulations are beginning to be understood and things work smoother. Time and patience, however, are still wanted, but what I like is the springing into life of a new keenness which we missed after the war. I desire here to give my best thanks to the County Commissioners and their Staffs for their loyal help and co-operation during the last year, to the ursing Staff especlallv for genuine bard work willingly put in for the Ambulance cause. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J AMES HOSSACK, Commissioner No . X. District .

49, HER! ERS STREET, IpSWICH. THE ACTING CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN'S GATE. 3rd February, 1925. SIR, I have the honour herewith to submit my report on o. X. Dlstrict for the past twelve months . I personally inspected all Divisions outside the county of uffolk and the uffolk Commissioner all inside the county. I can therefore d efinitely state that a very considerable improvement has taken place generally throughout the Di. trict during the year. A new generation is coming along and as a result more keenlless and more efficient service. Several new Divisions have been formed in the District especially in the counti' of Norfolk and one in Hertford. In Suffolk the much needed reorganisation is working and working well. The County Commissioner and his Staff have the whole county well in hand and there is quite a reviviscence in St. John's work. I desire here to m ention to you the name of District Officers Moffatt and Smith . They have put in an extraordinary amount of work in SuHolk and we are now beginning to reap the benefit. All the motor ambulance services in the district show more mileage, carried more patients and gl\'e a generally more efficient service. In Ipswich we were obliged to get a new Ambulance, the old one was worn out. We have almost paid for this, thanks to the efforts of 11r. Parkin gton, who, I am glad to state has joined us and is already of very great assistance indeed. The old Ambulance has been renovated, re-equipped and made serviceable, the work needed all being voluntary work by members of the Brigade and outside willing helper. So now we have two, one for town calls and emergencies, while the other is out on distant calls. This frequently happens. \Ve have some half dozen Cadet Divisions either in being or about to be registered in the district, but money is a difficulty in putting them all into uniform . vVe could double the numbers to-morrow but for lack of means.

As I have told you before, I claim to know every member of the Divisions under my charge, and the association is one I greatly value. I am only the figure head, and all the credit for the success of the District is due to the members of my Personal Staff, the Officers, .C.O.s, and men of the various Divisions, and I am glad to have this opportunity of recording how much I value their support, and their devotion to the cause they represent. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. A. RICHARDS, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John.

SIR, I have the honour to present my report for the year nding 31st lkCLInlx,r iast, and it is very gratifying to me (as I feel it will be to you) to be- aule to report that the interest in the Brigade throughout the district continues to be \\ell maintallled. One additional Division has been formed during the year (Battersea\ and there is rio falling off in membership in the case of the other Di,·isions. It is refreshing that ?o apologies ha\.e to be made for a decrcase in member::.hip. On the contrary, there IS no reason why there should not be a ,"ery tangible increa"e. In this connection there is an accepted prinCIple that DiyislOnS art' bettcr without men who cannot attend the classes and prachces regularly, and it can be saId that the whole of the men shown to be attached to the various Dl\ISlOns in ~ () XI Districtofthe Brigade are thoroughly competent and capable of gl\ ll1g a good account of themselves wh enever called upon to uphold the traditions of the Order which they represent. . The event of the year was the winning of the Dewar hallenge Shield U) the Bricklayers' Arms team (representing o. I I District), whilst a team, th ' member::, of ~hich are attached to Hither Gr~en Division were succ 'ssful1l1 "'inning the lntcrRailway Amb~lance C.haUenge Shield. .~he ~ondon Bridge 'ursmg Dl\'I ' IOn was also successful m securIng the second posItIon m the Perrott CompetItion. I venture to submit that there could be no better tribute to the efficiency of the Railway Ambulance work. _ A successful feature of the year was a Church Parade at St. Peter's, Eaton Square, on July 28th , when nearly goo member of the Divisions were inspected by ir Herbert Walker, .K:C.B.~ the Ger:erall\Ianager of the Southern Railway. The Cadet DIVlslOns mcrease 111 number, and efficiency, and there is not the least doubt that herein is a very successful recruiting ground for the parent DivlsJOJ1s of the Brigade. There is one feature which I feel I ought to mention, and that is in relation to the wonderful work performed by members of certain of the Divisions in connection wlth t he Pilgrimages to Lourdes . The thousands of Pilgrims passing to and fro were shepherded from London to L ourdes , and back again, by members of the Divisions I have the honour to command,

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

REPORT OF THE COl\IMISSIONER. 4 0 , MERRION SQUARE, DUBLlI SIR, April, 19 2 5. I beg to submit my Report of our work for I9 2 4· I am pleased to be able to record continued efficiency and fresh developments. It has been a busy year for us, and the reception and appreciation we have re eived from the public will encourage and stimnlate uc; to further efforts. Our organization has now attained, I verily believe, the proud position of a national organization in the Free State. At public functions we are regarded as a necessity, and when accidents occur a call is always mad e for" the S1.. John men," and they invariably appear as quickly as a Fire Brigade doing their work Secundum artem, carrying away their patient to an Ambulance Station, where, unseen by the public, are the nursing sisters ready with their dressings, hot bottles and restoratives. There have been many opportunities given us during the year. Three were outstanding :(I) The Tailteann Games were held in August, and at the numerous athletic and other functions our men and nurses took duty. :'Iany cases were attended to, and the Executive were well satisfied with our work. At the opening ceremony at Croke Park on 1st Augu t, a large Brigade contingent paraded with the athletes ancI participants, headed byour Pipers Band, and everyone was impressrd by the tern·out and marching. (2) The Irish ational Pilgrimage to Lourdes took place in Octo ber and \\ e SllPIJlicd personnel-fifty ambulance men and nursing _isters. The wOlk of the Brlgadc wa ~ really splendid and reflected great credit on Supt. Mac Tamara, Ambulance Ortie r Keogh and Lady Ambulance Officers A. Barry and G. l\Joran. From the transport from train to hospital ship to the return in ten days of the Pilgrimage cverything went without a hitch. The bearers and nurses never spared thlmselns and their work, I am assured, largely contributed to the success of the Pilgrimage and the comfort of the numerous cases of serious illness. Father Tolan, Chailman of thl' Lourdes ational Executive Committee, wrote of our work:" otlling could surpa " the care and solicitude manifested towards the sick from the moment thl:"\" \\er ' received at the Railway stations in Dublin until their return from Lourde', a~1d it is universally acknowledged by the invalids themselves that the St. john men and ursing Sisters did admirable work. Personally I was exceedingly proud of th ' magnificent corps you sent with us and the manner in which they dl charged their duties, especially at Lourdes," lessrs. :'Iac amara and Keogh arc to be decorated with the Order of the Brancordier by the IIospitalite de Notre Dame in recogllltion of their work-an honour which I understand is rarely awarded outside France. (3) \Ve supplied a personnel of thirty for the last week of the Briti h Empir> Exhibition at \Vembley. The work was not heavy and our people greatly njoyed their experience, and were much pleased with the kind and hospita bk manner in which they were received by the Authorities at the Exhibition and at St. John's Gate. On 26th July our Annual Inspection was held at Lord Iwagh's Gardens, the Inspecting Officer being General Murphy, the Chief COIDl11lSsiol1er of the Dublin ~Ietropolitan Police. The Annual Competitions were held during 7IJarch, Apnl and ;\Iay : The Dublin Ambulance Challenge Cup was won by\\'. & H.. Jacob & Co's Ambulance Division. The Irish \Yomen's Challenge Cup by Harcourt Nursing Di\"ision. The Novices Challenge Cup (Women) by \V. & R. jacob & Co's lH::.ing Dl\·ision. The Drill Competitions for the :'Iiddleton-Curtis Challenge Cup by\\'. & R. J aco b's ursing Division Squad. League Competitions : The Commissioner's illedal was won byvV. & R. Jacob & Co's Ambulance DIvision. The Arnott Cup by Harcourt Nursing Division. The Individual Cup (Men) was won by Pte. J. Cushen, W. & R. Jacob & Co's Ambulance Division. The Individual Cup (Women) by :'1iss Evie O'Kelly, Harcourt Nursing Division. During the year duty was taken at numerous functions-the Royal Dublin Society's shows, race meetings, motor cycle races, fetes and meetings where cro\yd s gathered, and regular duty was taken nightly at cinema houses, theatres, etc.

Our two Ambulance Huts, situated at congested sites in Dublin, continue to give good service to the citizens. 808 cases have been treated in the course of the year. Whole-time Orderlies attend daily and at night voluntary workers come on duty. The Ambulance Transport Service has been used to a greater extent, and for poor patients it has been of immense service as an auxiliary. to the C~ty Fire Brigade Am bulance Service. In the case of the poor no charge IS made, III many cases a nominal fee is charged, and those who can pay are charged according to distanc e. Our Invalid Requisite Department is functioning well, and under the control of 7I1rs. I owlette is doing useful work amongst the poor and needy. The Child \Velfare Department has accomplished excellent r esults and is expanding greatly under the supervision of l\Iiss G. M. Barrington. "I/lle are developing the Department along new lines. A Pre-natal Clinic has been started with the object of giving one good meal a day to expectant mothers during the last three months of pregnancy and for a month after the baby is born. To feed these poor people umier our own eye, rather than in giving tickets for food which we found was generally passed on to their families is a better system and ensures the attainment of our object. This Clinic, which will enlarge as our funds permit, should act as a link between the other Dublin Child \Velfare Organizations, and does not overlap with those which have for their object the treatment of diseased conditions, Our work is prophylactIC. The outstanding feature in our year's work has unquestionably been the acquisition of a Bngade Headquarters at 66, Great Strand Street, Dublin. A fine Hall with excellent class rooms and offices has been purchased and equipped, and supplies a long-felt \\·ant. A grant of £4,000 from the Joint Committee for Leinster, Munster and Connaught of the Order of St. john and British Red Cross has enabled this to be accomplished. \Ve can now hope to centralize our training, and having a Hall for functions will be of the greatest possible help. I t is proposed to form a School of Instrudion for Officers and men, and a Staff of skilled instructors is to be created from my District Officers and certain other senio r Officer:". In future m ere holders of thp First Aid Certificate cannot be enrolled in Divisions un tIl the) ha \'e attended the School of Instruction for six or eight weeks and have obtained its certificate, and also Divisional Superintendents are to be instructed to withhold from public duty any members of their Units whose efficiency IS not in their opinion up to the standard required and until they have obtained this ad\anced Certificate, A refresher class for Officers is al 0 to be held, and it is likely a sImllar scheme will be adopted for Tursing Units. It has been an expen 'ive year and our funds have almost reached the vanishing point, so we detennined on an appeal for £3,000 to enable us to carryon our work. \\'e ha\'e been mo t fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. }'laud \¥alsh as organiser-a philanthropic lady of great ability and much experience in appeals of tlus kind.

Tumerous functions are being arranged, and the" J)n\'e " will tenninate with Flag Days early in l\1arch, I925. \Ye believe this effort will be completely successful. Our A mbll[allce Ga zette, und er the editorship of my Assistant Commissioner, 01. Blackham and Lady Officer l\Iiss Blandford, has continued to produce an interesting r('corel of our doings, and many articles of public health interest have appeared. each quarter. The sal s are increasing and consequently the expenses have been considerably reduced, aided by increased advertisements in its columns. In conclusion, I must express my appreciation of the loyalty and unselfishn e s of all ranks. As year pass by I come to feel prouder than ever of our St. John men and women. Their enthu ias111. IS extraordinary. In times of emergency they never fail, and I am oftentimes filled with prine at the mann er in which they r espond to every task set them, which is always carried out with cheerfulness and a true spirit of altruism. To my plendid District Staff I owe my unbounded thanks and gratitude. It is a matter 01 much regret to all that Assistant Commissioner\V. G. Smith, O.B.E., has left us for Liverpool, where he has obtained an important appointment. l\Ir. Smith was ever a loyal and helpful colleague and will be sadly missed by us all. District Lady Officer Miss E. F. Blandford, who for so many years has been Secretary to my District, has resigned her position and will retain her rank as Lady District Officer. There is no one in my District I think who has done so much for the Brigade in Ireland as l\1iss Blandford. She has initiated many of our developments, she possesses the confidence of the entire District, and with her magnetic

personality and organising powers she has been a tower of strength to u s. We are very largely in her debt. Acting Commissioner Mr. A. J. Connor has given me splendid help and without his mature experience and sound judgment we could not have surmounted the work thrust upon us during recent years. There are others I need not name to whom we also owe much; and it is satisfactory to feel that many promising Officers are coming on who will, I feel sure, prove themselves valuable workers in the near future. Our Lady District Superintendent, Dr. Ella Webb, Lady District Officer Miss O~eren d a?d Lady S~perinten~ent of Transport Mrs. Rowlette (who sp ends a large dally porbon of her bme on Bngade work) are also outstanding and I must express my appreciation of thei r services.

The Priory is assisting the Juvenile Employment Committee of the Cardiff Education Committee by organising lectures in first aid and home nursing for the unemployed. This work is undertaken by officers of the local ambulance and nursing divisions of the Brigade and is much appreciated by the Juvenile Unemployment (Education) officer. An endeavour is being made to instal special first aid cabinets in the schools in 'Vales as a preliminary to an effort to introduce first aid into the school curriculum.

Encouraging reports of the year's work have been r eceived from the various county and borough centres and the sub-districts. The Priorv motor ambulance transport service has increased its sphere of usefulness, 2,824 ' cases have been carried during the year, th~ total mileage being 5 0 ,53 6 . New contracts have been entered into by five colliery owners and six workmen's lodges. One new ambulance station was opened and one new car added to the fleet.

The figures for 1924 comprise the following units :-25 corp, 167 ambulance divisions, 57 nursing divisions, 9 ambulance cadet divisions, I nursing cadet division. Great interest was given to the interest of officers by the visit to a quarterly meeting of the Brigade Staff Committee of Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, K.C.M.G., C.B., Secretary-General of the Order. This was particularly gratifying to \Vales as it was the first official visit made by the Secretary-General to the Priory . General Wilkinson strongly advocated closer interchange of ideas as "mutual knowledge produced mutual confidence and sympathy." The Priory sent three contingents of Brigade members to the Empire Exhibition at Wembley for a period of one week each and members from all counties in "Vales participated in this voluntary service. One of the Priory motor ambulances 'was stationed at the head of the model coal mine at the Exhibition and aroused much interest. Competitions continue to evoke great enthusiasm and to the numerous trophies already vested in the trustees of the Priory must be added the silver cup, presented by Dr. De Vere Hunt, for annual competition by members of the nur ing divisions of the City of Cardiff. At the Royal ational Eisteddfod held at Pontypool in August, great interest was centred in the ambulance competitions. The judges were :-Major-General Sir Robert Armstrong Jones, K.B .E ., C.B., F.R.C.S., Professor A. W. Sheen, C.B.E., F.R.C.S., Miss Cox-Davies, M.B.E., R.R.C., Colonel ir Jamec; Magill, K.B.E., and Colonel G. A. Moore, C.M.G., D.S .O., M.D. The" Lady Bute" and" Lady Lewis" cups were won by the Abertillery ur. ing Division and the Bedlinog o. I team respectively. Shields presented by Mr. H . G. Le.vi of Barry, Mr. \V. H. Taylor of Pontnewynydd, Mr. R . "V. Bartlett of ewport, and ir John Beynon of ewport were also competed for. In the preliminary competitJOn for the " Dewar" Shield the " Landinam" Shield, presented by ?lIajor D. Davies, M .P., was awarded to the Abertillery team. The winners of this shield and the Abertillery Nursing team had the honour of representing the Priory at the competJtions held in London for the" Dewar" and" Perrott" shields respectively . During the year eighteen service medals and one service medal bar were awarded to members of the Brigade in Wales by the Chapter-General of the Orde r. The Priory now has twenty-three comfort depots working, three new ones having been opened in 1924. During the year 1,500 articles have been hired from the depots, most of which are run by ambu lance and nursing divisions of the Brigade . The Ministry of Pensions continues to appreciate the work being done by the St. John Orthopedic Out-patients Clinic in Swansea. During the year ended 3 1st D ecember last, 13,999 attendances were made and 23,924 treatments performed. This institution is serving the needs of thoc:;e requiring massage treatment over a large area of West Wales, and has gained much popularity. Approximately 2,000 treatments were given at the Llandrindod "VeIls spa treatment establishment during the year. The classes of patients varied considerably, including workpeople from the industrial centres and professional men. The average length of stay was three weeks. The new scheme for the raising of Voluntary Aid Detachments to supplement the medical reserves of the Navy, Army and Air Forces is being energetically taken up in Wales. County controllers have been appointed in every County, with three exceptions, and the work of raising detachments has been started in most districts.

THOMPSON, M.B., CH . B.

Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital has the honour to submit its Thirty-Third Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers. There are no signs of any falling off in the work which the Hospital staff is called on to perform. In-patients numbered 1,676, an increase of 152 over 1923. New Out-patients were 16,225, an increase of 1,448 and total attendances were 75,560, an increase of 14,613. Operations totalled -1-,293 or an increase of 12-1-. A comparative Table printed at the foot o[ this Report $hows the figures for the past five years. The month of eptember, as was the case last year, creates a new record, no fewer than 2,213 new out-patients having been registered for treatment, ,,-hile oyer 2,000 came to the Ho pital for the first time in August. In eptember aIJother record was reached in the number of total out-patient attendance'>, when the staff uccess[ully dealt with the enormous number of 12,225 ufferers. October also shows a five figure return of 10,815. The eptember figure ~ were partly caused by a sudden outburst of se\'ere ophthalmia with ulceration of the cornea, occurring in Jerusalem and the surrounding villages, many children being affected. On one day in eptember H ncw cases were dealt with and on another, in the same ,\-ee k, the total number of consultations reached 592. With such figures a. these before them member of th Order can be well assured that the existence o[ their IIospital in J eru alem i ' a real neces ity and is carrying out a great work in the cause of humanity. It has only bcen pO sible to deal with . uch a greatly increased number of patient · owing to the anclion by the Order of the appointment of a third Briti -11 urgeon. The desirability of such additional help has been mentioned morc than once in previou s Reports and the Committee therefore lo:t no time in finding a uitable medical officer for the new post of R egi trar. The choice fell upon 1\1r. '\tV. E. Thompson, M.B., CH.B., (l. ndrew' ,) , wbo had just resigned his appointment in the Health Department o[ the Palestine Government, and he joined the Hospital for duty on .\pril 1st. His knowledge of the country and the people makes his experience of great value and the Committee is fortunate in having secured his services on the staff. 1r. Thompson came to England on leave at the beginning of November, so that his help in the Hospital, so far as the year's returns are concerned, only extended to seven months, but that assistance goe far to account for the additional work "vhich the staff was able to get through, for it was thus possible to reopen the clinic for out-patients on Tuesdays a nd Thursdays. The Committee regrets to announce the resignation by Capt. C. R. B. Eyre of the office of Sub- \Varden, which takes effect on April 19th. Capt. Eyre joined the staff in 1920 from a Military Hospital in Kantara TIlE

OPHTHALMIC'

PITAL.

and became the first Sub-Warden of the Ho pital in 1922. He has done good work, especially in refraction cases and he also initialed a very u eful spectacle fund for helping patients to get suitable gla. ses 011 leaving the Hospital. He made to scale and presented to the Order an excellent large model of the Hospital made of wood, which takes to pieces, shewing the interior of the ward, etc. The ommiltee will find it most useful when discussing, at any future tin1e, proposed alte-rations . The model was exhibited at the Wembley Exhibition and is now preserved in the Museum of the Order at t. John's Gate. The ommiltee offer Capt. Eyre its heartiest good wishes for hi future happiness 011 his retirement. Sister Leman, R. R. c., has returned to England on the expiry of her three years contract with the Order. be bad a serious illness in the beginning of the year from which she has happily quite reco\·ered. Her successor is Sister Catherine Keith who joined the taff on o\"em ber 6th. She was trained at the We tern Infirmary, Gla gow, and sen'ed during the War in the Territorial Force Nursing Service, on demobilisation from which she was given permi sian to retain permanently her T. F . N. S. badge. Part of her war sen' ice was in the l7lh General Hospital in Alexandria, so that she has some ElL tern xperience including an acquaintance ,,·ith Arabic. His Royal Highnes ,Prince rthur o( Connallghl, K.G., a Knight oC Justice of the Order, paid a visit to the Hospital on January 15th. lle was received by the Warden and the ub-\Varden in their official roiJes and wearing the in ignia of their office. There was also present Frere Chaplain Archdeacon P. S. Waddy, with ir Ronald 'torr, C.:'IT. ,., and Mr. H. C. Luke, both Knights of Grace of the Order. His Royal Highness visited all the wards and expressed himself as pleased with all he saw. Before leaving he presented the Hospital with a large signed portrait of himself which ha since been framed and hung on the \\"all. Lieut. -Colonel V. Gabriel, c. s. I., etc., a member of the ommittec, visited the Hospital in May and inspected the recently completed ne\\' staircase in the \Varden's house, on ,,'hich he reported fayollrably. Colonel S. A. 10nckton Copeman, F.R.S., ~l. D., a mcmber of the Committee, also visited the Hospital in I\ray and submitted a valuable report to the Committee on his return. He called special attcnti n to the necessity of dealing with the present drainage arrangements and of providing new baths, water closet and hospital inl·s. I 0 he drew attention to the" insufficient and inellicient proyision for the -t rilization of dressings, instruments, etc." The ommiltee immediately called [or a report from Jerusalem on the best method of dealing with the drainage problem and awaits the Government In pector's suggestion, The provision of a new sterilizing plant has been agreed to, the cost having been found by a generous donor. In last year's Report four requirements were set out, the fulfilment of which was asked for before the Committee could feel satisfied that the efficiency of the Hospital was not suffering. They were (i.) new beds, (ii.) new baths and sanitary arrangements, (iii.) lavatory accommodation for out-patients and (iv,) an X-Ray apparatus. Of these the supply of baths and other sanitary arrangements has just been referred to, With regard to G.) an anonymous lady donor has furnished the Hospital with thirty-seven new beds of the most up-to-date design, which have now

REPORT.

taken the place of a similar number of old worn out Army Hospital ones. With regard to (iv,) anot.her generous lady, Miss Hulton, has given the money for an X-Ray apparatus, the possession of which will place the Ho pital in t.he front rank for technical equipment. Grateful indeed is the Committee to the e two kind donors for their valuable gift. There remains, then, one of the [our clesl"derata undealt with and that is the provision of adequate lavatory accommodation for out-patients. There are structural and other difficulties in the way but it is hoped that during this current year some satisfactory cherne may be approved which can be carried into effect . The work in connection with the install-ation of the electric light is now in hand and most. of the machinery has arrived. Mr. Dobell, the GO\'l~rnment Electrical Engineer, i uperintending the erection and he or his assistant o[ the Department "of Public Works look in daily to see that the contractor is carrying out his work according to specification. The Committee is fortunate in being able to report that the interests of the Order are in such good hands and in thanking Mr. Dobell and his staff [or their assistance would call attention with satisfaction to the fact that, as in past years, the IllOst cordial relations exist between the Government and the Order. The site gi\"en by the Patriarch in 1921 Cor the building of an annexe [or dealing- \\ iLh patient suffering [rom the terrible affliction of acute conjuncti\ itis in which the eyes literally melt away in pus-still remains \"acanl. Owing to new regulations made by Government, not more than 40 p. Co of any gi\"en plot of land may be built over and a minimum di tance of two metres must be left between the building and the boundary \\'all. e nder the...,e ci rcumstances the original plot given by the Patriarch has become yuiLe inadequate. Steps are being taken to see if the area already g'iven can be added to and plans are preparing showing the arrangem n L proposed \\'hich gi\"es shelter to thirty-four patients and provide ' rooms [or 1\\'0 attendants., a " dressing" room or clinic, a hall and Kood lavatory accommodation. The cost will be considerable, not less than £3,500, If an additional story were built, providing a new house for t.h.e ~ub-\Varden, a further sum of £2,000 would have to be found. Te\\' kitchen arrangement [or the Sisters' quarters have been sanctioned and a great improvement will thereby be effected in the comfort of the islers. A sum o[ £3,600 has been paid to the Order by the Reparations Commission [or damage done to the Hospital during the war. This is gratifying 0 far as it goes, but represents not 50 p. c. of the actual amount spent by the Order since 1919 on re-building. The Committee is happy to report the endowment of two beds during the ye~r. "ir Robert Ho Tung and his brother, Mr. Ho Kom Tong, both Sliver Donats of the Order and also Honorary Knights of Grace have thus sh'own their practical interest in the ,,,,ork of the Order in th~ Holy Land. Their home is in Hong Kong where they know from personal experience how much good the Order does in other directions by means of its As ociations and Brigades. The olive crop is valued at £10, compared with £6 last year. Ten rotls have been pickled and the remainder pressed, giving S4 rotls of oil. The total weight of the crop was 1,284 lbs. It remains to say a few words with respect to the work of the Order in Palestine outside the Hospital.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.

In the Report for 1923 reference was made to the fact that H. E. The High Commi sioner had approached the Order with a view to finding out if the Grand Priory could take O\'er a portion of the health work which the Government had been obliged to abandon owing to financial stringency. It wa uggested that six or more eye clinics in \'arious parts of the country should be starTed by nur!->e~ trained in the Hospital, under medical officer who had undergone special courses o[ instruction in the Hospital. The \Varden in consultation with the Government Officer of Health elaborated a scheme which he submitted to the Council and Chapter-General. This was provi ionall)' approved, the Order expressing its willingness to co-operate, but re ' erving the right to give the Government ample notice to withdraw in case the necessit.y should, from any cau e, arise. The scheme thu adopt.ed i ~hort.ly as follows: - To tart. with, six centres have been selected for the cI inics, Be rsheba, Gaza, Ramleh, Jaffa, N ablon and Haifa. To these ix t.here may be added later, Hebron, Tul Keram and Jazareth (or Beisan). At. each cent.re t.here will be two Hospital trained nurses, paid [or by t.he Order, working under a medical officer who has, as stated above, atlended pecial courses in the Hospital. The nurses ar gi\'en a [our months cour~e in the Hospital being paid during training by the rder. Th fir~t nul' e under the scheme entered the Hospital on September 1st. _\11 these Pale tinian nur es are, while under training and during- employment in the clinics, Serving Sist.ers (Honorary) of the Order, ,,'earing the brassard of their grade when on duty. The Go\'ernment, ho\\' vcr, provides them with uniform. Bot.h the medical statT and the nul' ing staff will at.t.end " refresher" courses at the Ho. pital from time t.o time and on of the Hospital Staff Surgeons will make periodical visit.s of in!->p clion to the clinics. The increased cost to the Order, yearly, for undert.aking thi!-> ~cheme is in the neighbourhood of £700. \VithouL the third surgeon it would not have been possible to accept the proposal and in any case it adds very considerably to the re ponsibilities of the \iVarden, \\'ho bould as soon as possible be relieved of those duties he now performs in the Hospital which are u ually done by a matron. Tbe Committee is glad to report that its recommendation to the Chapter-General that, as a mark of appreciation of his sen' ices, the Warden should be considered for promotion, has been promptly met and it heartily congratulates Lieut. -Colonel J. C. Slrat.hearn, O. B. E., on becoming an Esquire of the Order. Both to him and his staff, British and Palestinian, the Committee feels that it , sincere thanks are due for the loyal and efficient manner in which the constantly increasing work has been carried out. The Committee is happy in feeling that the right spirit prevails throughout the staff and that in their hands the prestige of the Order is safe. To Lady Watson the debt of gratitude is constantly growing. The Committee appointed her Hon. Treasurer for Palestine and he has replied by showing an increase of £30 in her subscription list. For this and her devoted work in the Hospital the Committee can only once again inadequately express its very sincere thanks. Mr. Kirk, District Officer, Railway Headquarters, Johannesburg, has sent in a cheque for £13 7s., collected from ten South African Brigade

Overseas Centres. IIe writes, "Very little is generally known here of the Hospitaller work of the Order in Jerusalem and I am sure that much more support will be forthcoming when the various Divisions have had an opportunity of acquainting themselves with the nature and sphere of its activities." II is request for fifty copies of this Report has been gladly complied with. Is it too much to hope for a South African Bed in the Hospital, to keep company with those of Canada, Newfoundland and Hong Kong? The Committee sends its South Afl-ican (riends heartiest thanks for their help. Lcllers, too, reach t. John'5 Gate from New Zealand and Australia where members of the Order are anxious to know how they can help the Hospital. The Committee is gratified to think of the interest which is thus being shewn throughout the Empire in the work of the Order in the Holy Land. Thank are due to other kind donors; to Lord Forester for a grant of £100* [rom the trustees of" The Lady Forester" Hospital and COln-al scent Home; to the Rev. H. H. Appleford for a donation of £50* ; and to l\Ir. ]. Borne Stevenson, :VI.B.E., K.C., for his work as H on. ' crctary in cotland in collecting funds for the Hospital. A case of ophthalmic instruments, containing also ophthalmoscopes and a retina~copc, \Va!:> . ent from Canada by a Knight of Grace of the Order, i\1 ajor-General G .. terling RyeI' on - a \Tery welcome and most useful gift for which the Committee tenders thanks, as it also does to Mrs. 'hipwright 1'01' a case of cutlery for the use of the Sisters' Mess and to ~Irs. Rickman [or a parcel of eye bandages, made by herself, to Mrs. Kumri, the llou eke per, for the gift of one of the brass crosses on the main d or of the 11 ospital and to the anonymous donor who gave the second cross. A final word may, perhaps, be devoted to finance. Every effort is made to control exp nse and the Committee is confident that the Hospital i: managed on economical lines, but there are certain increases which are beyond control. During 1924 the co t of "maintenance" showed an increase over 1923 of £72, part of which is, of course, due to the larger number of in-patients. But a high cost of living i not confined to the Brili h Isle ' and in his report for November the Warden writes, " There has b en a general ri e in the price of commodities; for example, the pric of bread ha risen by pt. 1 . 5 per rotl (nearly 4d. per six pounds weight).' The water rate ha been rai ed during the past year and is now co. ting nearly £60 per annum. Finally there are hints of increased taxation which is to fall on commodities, thus threatening a further rise in maintenance cost for the current year. I t is gradually becoming easier to forecast what the upkeep of the Ophthalmic Hospital will eventually mean in £ s. d. if it is admitted that the Hospital, as it is at the present moment, has probably reached it limit in bed and out-patient accommodation and that therefore it will not be neces ary to expend any more money in extensions or large alterations beyond those already outlined in this Report. When the annexe i completed the staff will have to be increased by a male and a female attendant who " ,ill be in charge ot the acute * This amount arrived too late to go into the accounts for 1923-4, but will duly appear next year.

conjunctivitis cases. Their salaries will be, say, £75 per an. econdly, a Matron for the Hospital will ere long be necessary. She will probably de~nand a salary. of £150 with room and board. Thirdly, the Hospital bell1~', from motIves of economy, under-staffed at the present moment, a kl~chen helper, a doorkeeper and a part-time clerk are Cl\\'aiting appoll1tment when another £ 120 per annum can be found. I' ou rthly. ",hen the electric installation is complete and in running order it will be necessary to find a man who will be responsible for looking aft rit. IIi s salary will probably amount to £75. No allowance is here made for any increases of pay to existing members of the staff, but it is permissible to take a round figure of £750 as the extra annual charg-e when the Hospital shall be completely equipped and staffed. Towards thi the Committee appeal for help from all those who are intere ted in the great work which the Order is carrying on in the Holy Land. Encouraged by the whole-hearted support of the rder and by the generosity of the many friends of the Ho pital allover the \\'orld the Committee looks forward with confidence to a time, not far dis~an t when it shall have in its admini trative care an Institution second t~ none in the East.

NOTE.-~his year (1924) the Hospital 1'e-opened for in-patients on January .],d. The out-pattents department does not workfull-tillle in this month.

The Warden's Report. The number of new patients seen during 1924 was 16,225, and the total consul tations 75,560. The number of patients admitted to Hospital wa 1,676, and the number of operations performed 4,293 . Classified according to Religion, of the new cases seen 10,314 were Moslems, 3,063 were Christians, and 2,848 were Jews. Of the total attendances 47,095 were Moslems, 12,639 were Christian~, and 15,856 were Jews. Of the new cases 1,329 were' blind' in one eye (8 p. c.) and 620 were , biind' in both (3'8 p. c.): 'blindness' being reckoned on the economic standard as vision amounting to less than the ability to count fingers at a distance of one metre. As heretofore by far the greater proportion of this blindness was due to acute conjunctiviti . Since the re-opening of the hospital after the war it has been my pleasant duty to record annually a decrease in the number of cases of acute conjuncti\·itis. In 1923 the percentage of these among-st the new case had fallen to 11 . 5 p. c. as compared with 15 p. c. for the preceding [our years. nfortunately in 1924 the seasonal epidemic of acute conjunctivitis was much more wide pread and virulent. It set in to\vards the end of barley harvest (July) with remarkable suddenness. In June there were 30 case ' , in July tbe number had increased to 452, August 628, September 630, October 527. In November with the onset of the rains and cooler weather the number fell to 234, and December 150. Tbe total of acute conjunctivitis cases seen during the year was 3,287, all but 666 occurring in the latter half of the year. This give a percentage of 22 p. c. as compared with 11 .5 p. c. for the previous year. Medically tbis epidemic had many intere ting feature , but a consideration of these \vould be out of place here. It only remains to be remarked that the appointment of a third urgeon to OLlr staff occurred with dramatic appropriateness, Dr. Thomp on, the Registrar, officially reporting for duty on July 1st. This extra help enabled the Hospital to treat and relieve hundreds of cases which otherwise \vauld have been a phy ical impossibility. Trachoma till retains its unenviable position as the chief scourge of Palestine. This extraordinary disease, world wide in its distribution, known to the ancients (in Eber ' papyrus which dates from the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt z".e., about 1799 B. C. there is a prescription for its treatment) and intensively tudied in recent years, still awaits elucidation, as a specific cause has not yet been positively determined. Usually slow and in idious in its course, it depends largely on poverty and qualor for its spread. Not highly contagiou , it is seldom met with amongst temporary residents in the country. Nor indeed, is it often seen amongst native of a higher social grade. But amongst the peasants of the villages it is rampant. Hence the trachoma incidence remains high (83 p. c. of the new cases) and accounts for much of the work in the Out-Patient Department and to its sequelre for the majority of our operations. The most encouraging results are to be found in the systematic treatment of children of a school age, but until the cultural level of the people rises, too much is not to be expected from this as reinfection is apt to occur later on.

OPIITHAUlIC HOSPITAL.

As in previous years the majority of t.he operat.ions (66 p.c.) was for the relief of Trichiasis (misplacement of the eyelashes or incurving of the eyelids). Many forms of operat.ive procedure were adopt.ed, depending on circumstances, but speaking generally the type of operation consists in the t.ransplantation of a graft. of mucous membrane [rom the patient's lip; to correct the defect at the margin of the eyelid. Many hundreds of patients wer t.e ted for glasses and 879 pre 'criptions for the same were given. 0\\ ing to t.he prevalence of other conditions \\"hich interfere with vision, it i" frequently found t.hat glasses do not materially improve the sight and so a prescription is not given; but the elimination of such require the same amount. of attention and occupies a large part of the time ami energy of the tafT. 192+ saw t.he inauguration of the scheme whereby the Order agreed to assist the Go\'ernment. of Palestine first. by the '>upervi-;ion of the Ophthalmic clinic at \'arious centres throughout the country, secondly by the training of the Go,'ernment ~ledical officers in the e ' ... entials of ophthalmology, and lastly by t.he training and maintenance of six Governmen t nurses at the Hospil al of thL: Order in Jcru~a lel11, thereafter to continue in the sen' ice of the Order and be pO~led [or ophthalmic duty at six select.ed centres. This ... cheme is in the nature of an experiment and many details \yill require to be worked out by experience, but if pro ecuted \\'ith vigour and intelligence should result in a gT at amelioration o[ t.he disability and distress l)[ actual C) e di-,ease, and become a potent means to encourage the gro\\ th and spread o[ pre\'enti,'e measures. However it cannot be too trong-Iy empha...,ised that there is to be no attempt to train these Go\'ernmcnt doclor<, into eye specialists.' Even presupposing a natura.l aptitude that pro 'LSS requires, not months, but years of training and experience. An eJfort will be made to give them a thorough grounding in the diagnosis and treatment of the common eye diseases of the country; in the performance of th simpler operations; and in the management of an eye clinic. Later, when at work in their centres, cases not. understood will await the next "isit of the inspecting surgeon, or if considered urgent \\ ill be referred to the Hospital of the Order in Jerusalem. I t must be rt:mem bered that the Government medical officers ha\'e other duties to perform and that ophthalmic work, however important, can only recei\'e a share of their time and attention. The trained ophthalmic nurses will be helpful not only at the ophthalmic centres, but also in the importtlnt work of the treatment and prevention of disease amongst the children at the neighbouring schools. The sanitation of the Hospital has been under consideration during the year. It is admittedly unsatisfactory, but not urgently defective. In the pre-war Hospital sanitation in the modern sense of the term did not exist. A praiseworthy effort was made to remedy this before the re-opening of the Hospital, but in addition to much improvisation, the fittings and appliances were only such as could be obtained locally and in Egypt, during the early post-war period. The subject is receiving the careful and expert consideration of Dr. J. A. Henderson, the Principal Medical Officer of Jerusalem. A final scheme has not yet been presented as it is still a matter of doubt as to whether the Government will provide a drainage scheme for this area, by laying down a se\ver in the course of the valley below the property of the

REPORT.

Order. There is reason to believe that such a scheme may materialize in the near fut.ure, thereby not only simplifying the problem, ?ut greatly reducing the cost, such as would be entailed by the constructIOn of sewage tan ks and cess-pit. on an improved plan. The installation of the electric light was begun to\\'ards the end of the year and will take some months to complete. This when fin! hed will effect a great improvement in the working and general effiCIency of the hospital. It will permit of the use of an 'X' Ray Appara~us for diagnosis and Therapy and also of a large magnet [or the extractton of iron fragments from the interior of the eye. Naturally in a country like Palestine the need for such an instrument is exceptional, but ca, es do occur from the workshops of the Railway , the Department of Public vVorks and private firms. The delay incurred in sending these patients either to Cairo or Beyrout greatly prejudices th~ir prospects ?f retaining- useful vision in the injured eye. Further \\' lth the electrIC light installed it will now be possible to look forward to obtaining at some future date, other kinds of electrically equipped apparatus, such as the GulbLrand Slit.-Lamp, a recent invention but rapidly becoming an sential.to a well equipped eye hospital. Grat.eful mention mu t. al<;o be made 'of the re-furnishing of the Hospital with an excellent t.ype of bed specially suited for ophthalmic work. .\part [rom the enhanced appearance of the 'Nard, these new beds make the nursing and the surgical dressing of the pat.ients a much less laboriou_ procedure. The dust nuisance grows worse. J erLlsalem is a notoriously dusty city, and it is no exaggeration to ay that the road passing t.he Hospital is t.he dustiest in it. The Hospital property lies on the lee\\'ard ide of the Hebron road, and between the Railway tat.ion and the Jaffa Gate (the commercial centre). At a recent traffic census, taken by the Public \Vorks Department, on a normal day and before the onset of the tourist sea. on, +88 motor vehicles passed this road between sunrise and, unseL Just how far dust and eye eli _ea e are associated is a matter of conjecture, but there can be no gain aying the severe drawback to the welfare f patients and staff, forced to live and work in such an atmosphere. The Public \Vorks Department are prepared to lay down a stretch of practically dust free road, but the impoverised Jerusalem Municipality, to whom the road belongs, have no funds for these improvements. The cost is estimated at bet,Yeen £200 and £300, and such a road can be guaranteed for ten or even fifteen years. Hitherto it has been the regret of my colleagues and myself that it ha not been possible to publi h even a summary of the medical and surgical matters of interest, owing to the overwhelming pressure of clinical work. It is recognised that modern research work is a speciality in it elf, demanding training, equipment and above all the leisure to pur ue fresh train of thought, un trammelled by the continuous distraction of a seemingly never ending stream of patients. But we have ample opportunities to 'tryout' new remedies and operati\'e procedures; and in this way it is our intention to make some contribution to the advancement of ophthalmology. Lastly I wish to record my grateful thanks to the members of the staff, both British and Palestinian for their hearty co-operation; and not less to Lady Watson for her devotion and solicitude for the ,yelfare and the good name of the Hospital of the Order of St. J obn. March, 1925. (Signed) J. C. STR THEAR:.J, \Varden
