General Sir George ,Yillis wa admitted a i\lember of the Order in 1 87, as President of the Port mouth Centre, in recognition of services La tLe Ambulance Departlnent, and for many years served also on the Uouncil of the 0 rdcr. The Rev. e. J. Martyn W:1S :111 energetic member of the Order, and held office :1t one time as oftiei:1tinO' Ch:1plain. ~Ir. J. G. Swan, ir J. 1Iacll1re, ir Raylton Dixon, and Sir Andrew Fairbairn h:1d rendered very can picuous service to the St. John Ambulance Association in connection with their respective Centres in the province, :1nd the last nanled was for many years an active Inember of the Council, always taking the keenest and rna t pr:1ctical interest in the affa,irs of the Order. Surgeon-Generall\Ianley was the til' t Superintendent of the Ambulance Dep:1rtlllent, to which he rendered very valuable service, especially in connection with the N euss-11anley Ambulance litter, and a generous sum was contributed by him to the fund to promote the improvement of vehicles for the removal of the sick and injured.

Sir Willianl MacCormac held at the time of his death office :as Medical Officer in Chief of the t. John Ambulance Brigade a.nd as a selected member of the Chapter. His life-long service~ on behalf of the ick and injured in war are too well known to need recapitulating here. ir John J afii'ay and Brio-adier- eneral ~ir Henr'y \Vilmot were enrolled Honorary Associates for services to the Ambulance Department in the Edland Counties, and the death of Dr. A. H. .J ones williono- be deplored at Northampton, where owing to his zeal and devoted energy one of the best Centres ever formed by the St. John Ambulance A ociation continues to exist .and Houri h. The sympathy of the members will be extended to Confrere Lord Henniker on the death of his eldest son, the Hon. A. E. Hennik81<\1ajor, formerly Assi tant ecretary, whose loss is much deplored by those with whom he was brought into contact, both officially and in private life. His :llaje ty the King, while holding the office of Grand Prior, nominated as Captain ir Alfred J ephson's uccessor in the 'office of ecretary-General, Colonel ir Herbert Jekyll, K.C.M.G., R.E. It is gratifying to the Chapter to have the assistance of a member whose public services are so 'well kno'wn, and have been lately further recognised by his promotion in the Order of ,S t. Michael and t. George. It may here be mentioned that the hapter ha decided to 'erect, with the penni, sion of the Rector, the Rev. T. \Y. 'Vood, one of the Chaplains, a memorial on the South wall of 'to John's Church, Clerkenwell, to the lllemory of the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade who have unfortunately died during the South African Campaign. Drawings for the memorial have been sublnitted to, and approved by, H.:;)I. The King, who has been graciously pleased to sanction the propo ed inscription and to command that it should be therein stated that it is -erected by himself, as Sovereign Head and Patron, as well as by H.R.H. The Grand Prior, and the Chapter. His lajesty has been graciously pleased to express his admiration at the design, the execution of which has been entrusted to Messrs. Powell and Sons, the firm whose nameissowell known in connection with the decoration of St. Paul's Cathedral. It is a source of

The woman wa under the Influence of dnnk, and had crossed from the down to the up platform. She was observed to be on the line and the down express rushing on her. '-N atson rushed before the engine, seized the woman, and dragged her over across the rail when the train was only about three yards distant. So close was the shave that ,Vatson was grazed by the engine, and he and the woman were thrown down botween it and the gate clo ing the level crossing f1'0111 the road. BEXJ lDII~ FRAXCIS, Sheffield (B?'onze .111eclal CI/wcwcled). For very conspicuous conduct displayed at the Victoria Vinegar Brewery, heffield, on the th N oV81nber, 1900, in a plucky attempt to re cue a boy named Aldhmll, and a man named ,Vookey, who had been set to clean a large vinegar vat, and had been overcome by the fumes of carbonic acid gas. The employes and police ambulcl,nce not having effected a rescue, Francis volunteered to descend the vat, and by means of a rope was lowered to the bottow, a di tance of 19 ft. He succeeded in reachin o' ,"'{ookey, but as he proceeded to put a rope round the body became uncon cious, was pulled up, and remained in this state for one-and-a-half hours, after which he rendered assistance to the Fire Brigade staff in getting the bodies out. P. C. TRollu, ' HENRY HIXES, Ipswich (Bronze .llieclul aWCinled). For courageous conduct in endeavouring to stop a runaway horse and cab at Ipswich, on the 9th February, 1901. The horse shied at the corner of St. John's Road, and bolted, jerking the driver from his box. Hines, who was off duty, recognising the great danger; as the horse was making for a crowded thoroughfare, made a dash for the reins, and in checking the pace the wheels of the cab skidded and a shaft struck him on the left shoulder, causing a very severe bruise. Still clutching the reins, he was dragged along almost under the horse's feet and sustained a severe blow on his head. His gallant efforts undoubtedly proved the means of saving life, and he was for some time afterwards only able to do light duty, owing to his injuries.

GORDON, Esq.,

HE London Committee, charged with the administration of the British Ophthahnic Ho pital at J eru al8111, have again the satisfaction of being able to report that its usefulne s is continuous and increa inD'. Dr. Jelly, who had been selected by the Committee as an assistant to Dr. Cant during the busy period of the previous year, was re-appointed for that now under con ideration, and returned to his duties in June with the advantages of experience of the conditions to be encountered, an 1 of son1e knowledge of the language of the people from among whom the patients are chiefly derived. Dr. Cant reports for the year 1900-01 thn.t the statistics of the work of the hospital, 'which are regularly kept, again show an increase in all their detail ; an increase which has been steadily progressive, and which, if compared with the figures of a few years ago, will be seen to be very consider!1ble. The accommodation for in-patients has for some time been stationary' but the appointment of the assi tant surgeon, which during the la t three years has greatly increased the power of dealing with out-patients, has led to a corresponding increase in their number, and has caused the attenda,nce to rise from aboll t 12,000, at which it stood before this assistance was afforded, to nearly 23,000 in the year; thus showing that the demands upon the hospital could not previously be fully met. This fact had constantly been only too apparent at the hospital itself

where great numbers of applicants w re compulsorily excluded during the annual epidemic of de tructive ophthalmia,. As stated on former occasions, the pel' on excluded 'were largely dwellers in the country district around J el'usalell1, "who were unable to reach the hospital in time to secure admission. By the aid of the assi tant surgeon, this difficulty has now been uccessfully encountered ' but it is not unlikely again to become prominent when the increa ed pOliTer Lo deal with applicants again occasions an increase in their numbers and an extension of the area from which they are derived. The amount of work actually accompli hed has for several years been teadily progressive, and the buildino's of the hospital have, by succe sive additions, been dou bled in their extent; but the ward accommodation has only afforded rOOlli for twenty in-pat.ients, although it has beon manifest for a long time past that the amount of eye-disease in the oountry, and actually eekinbo' relief at the hospital, was such that at lea t 100 beds could be constantly and advantageously ocoupied. The generous gift of £1,000 for enlarg81nent of the building, mentioned in the last report, has permitted the commencement of work which will place the hospital upon a widely extended basis, and will allow the number of beds to be inoreased to forty as soon as the alterations have been completed. It has been shown that the appointment of an assistant surgeon was immediately followed by a great increase in the number of out-patients Teceived and treated; and there oan be no doubt that the enlargement of the wards will inorease the number of in-patients in a similar manner, and with a far greater degree of benefit to sufferers than the mere figures will disclose. N umbers of persons will be admitted and cured who at present cannot fail to suffer seriously from the combined efiects of long journeys and of imperfect nursing at home. It was a condition attached to the gift of £1 ,000 that on the opening of the new wards there should be a second surgeon as a -permanent officer of the institution, insteau of an assistant -engaged only for the busiest half of the year; and it is manifest that this alteration, and the increase in the number of beds, will Tender it r.ecessary to place the whole establishment on a more ·extended ::)cale than heretofore. European workers will be

imperatively requ~red in tho nursing department; . and the general cost of ~allltenance and Inanagement must be Increased in a correspondmg degree. Even on the Jnoderate scale of past years, the contributions to the hospital have not covered the expenses; and for the year now under consideration the deficit, which has to be supplied from the o'eneral funds of the Order, has amounted to £175 17s. The Committee earnestly appeal, alike to the Order and to the general public, for such support as may enable this great work of charity and beneficence to be continued on a scale COIlllllen urate with the needs of the population to whose necessities it administers. The hospital annually rescues 1aro'e nUlll bel'S of people in and around Jerusalem from actual or impending blindness; and it is, practically, the only one to which they can apply. Not the least part of its good work is in furni 'hing a common ground on which the Chri tian, the Jew, and the Mahomedan meet upon equal terms, and learn to entertain sentiments of goodwill and mutual respect for one another. On this aspect of the case the Committee have llluch plea ure in O'iy in 0' publicity to the following letter, which ha been written to Lheir Chairman by the Right Rev. Dr. Blyth, Anglican Bi hop in .Jerusalem :_

(( J EHD 'ALE:.\I, " fepte?7"I-be7' 2 th, 1901.

"I am glad that the Order of 't . .J ohn ha been able to give great prominence to the Ophthalmic Ho I ital, of which you are Chairman. Tt is doing excellent work, and it is known and trusted throughout the country, and eYen to 1Ioab and the trans-J ordan country. "Dr. Cant's name is one of 110te here. He performed an operation for cataract on me last year quite painles ly and quite successfully. I lllUst have resigned otherwi e, but I can now see forty miles of distance and read (( diamond type." I heard of him in England a one of the fir t 111en of the day, to whom anything might. have been open at home. I only got the same attention that he gave to an old bedridden woman who was his pa~i~nt before me. He is in every way a good man, but very retmng. "The work of the Hospital is sometimes spoken against because

it is not directly nlissionary. But it is known far and wide as the work of charity and philanthropy by lllen who do the work for the sake of Chri t. It is neither mixed up with proselytism (as our mi ions have been much) nor "w ith politics (a' foreio·u institution are), but it has done a tine work in breaking do~u prejudice, and it i real and thorouo-h. The n8lv building will be a great advantao·e. " I t is well that the ancient Order should have its Hospital here, acce ible to all, and free. It ha greatly subdued the worst form of eye di ease, a people now under tand that their sight can be aved if they go in time. "(Sio-ned) G. , V. BLYTH, , Bi. hop in Je?'lu~ale?n." The abo-ve letter has been submitted to Hi, Maje ty the King, the Supreme Head and Patron of the Order and to Hi Royal H ighness the Prince of , Vale , the Grand Prior: and both His :Majestyand His Royal Highness have been gracioll ly pleased to express their intere t in the good work of the Hospital, a.nd their satisfaction at receiving such a report. The Committee trust that these feelings will be generally entertained; and that they will lead to such an increase of pecuniary support as lllay allow the benefits of the institution to be rendered commensurate with the oftentimes dire necessities of those for "who e relief it has been esta1lished.

FOR

IgOr.

HE CENTRA.L EXECUTIVE CO~DlITTEE has the honoul' to submit the following report for the information of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and the Chapter of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of J erllsnlem in England. It is gratifying to record that His l\fajesty the King, having found it necessary to resign the office of President on his accession to the Throne, has graciously consented to become the Patron of the St. ,John Ambulance Association, and His Royal Highness the Prince of "\Vales has succeeded His Majesty in the office of Presi(len t. The most important featul'e of the work of the Ambulance Department during the year has been the continued valuable services rendered by t.he detachments of the St. John Ambulance Bl'ign,(le on duty in 'outh AfTica. The fullest details aboll t these services will be found in the report ot the Chief Commissioner which is appended, and it is not less satisfactory to call attention to the progress made with the formation of the Bearer COIn panie for service nnder the Mobilisation Scheme for HOlne Defence referred to in last yeal"s report, and of the similar steps being taken wi th the approval of the Lords of the Admil'alty for affording assistance to the Roycl,l Navy on the same lines in time of war. The Committee has agajn to express its deep regret at the further increase in the number of deaths among the members of the Brigade on service with the Hospitals in South Afi'ica, and wishes to place again on record its deepest sympathy with the families of those who ha;ve so nobly laid down their lives in the performance of such a hum~Lne and patriotic dut.y.

The final heats of the annual inter railway competition for th silver challenge hield presente~ by the. Order were held las: ~lay at the Portman R:0oms, the Judges bemg Mr. James Cantlie, F.R.e.S., l\l.B., and LIeut.-Colonel C. J. Trimble ' L.R" C" P WIO 1 . awarded the shIeld to the North-Eastern Railway; the other teams being place~ in the following orde:' :-Mersey Railway; GreR.t-N orthern Rmlway; Great-Eastern RaIlway, and the South~astern and C~latham .Railway. On the same day the competitlOn for the BrIgade prIzes, the Dewar Shield and the Symons Eccles Cup, also took place at the Portlnan Rooms, the judaes beinO' Deputy-Commi ioner ,"\T. Vernon, l\l.R. e.8., and Honorar~ Surgeon Heaton C. HOIyard, F.R.C . ., the East Ham Division (Metropolitan Corps) was awarded the Dewar Challenge Shield and the ,Vellingborough Corps wa a"warded the Symons Eccle~ Cl~P, .the th~r~,. fourth a~d ~fth places being ta.ken by the BrIerfield DIvlSlOn, the Sheffield Corps, and the Chichester Di.vision respectively. At the conclusion of the competition the pnzes were presented by the jIarchioness of Breadalbane the wife of the Assi tant Director and Deputy Chairman of' the St. John Ambulance Association. The best thanks are due and have been offered to the judge, both in tbe final heats and in the group competitions in the proyinces, for their valuable serVIces. Iany meetings for the presentation of certificates and medallions, and also to welcome the return of llleIl1 bel's of the St. John Ambulance Brigade who haye been on ser,ice in South Africa, have been held during the past twelvemonths. Amongst those who have Inade the presentations, or have taken a prominent part in the proceedings, have been Her Royal Highness Princess Christian at ,Vindsor; the Chancellor of the Order, Earl Egerton of Tatton, at Stockport; the Director and Chairman, Viscount Knutsforcl, at the London Docks; His Excellency the Governor, Lord Henniker, in the Isle of Man: Sir Vincent Kennett-Barrington in Oxfordshire; Field :Marshal Earl Roberts at ,Velbeck and Dinaley; Lady Betty Balfour at W oking ; Earl Spencer and the l\farquess of Northampton at Northampton; the Lord Bishop of the Diocese at Bristol; Lord Provost Hunter at Dundee; the Duchess of Portland at Welbeck; the Earl of Lonsdale at vVhitehaven; Mr. Winston

In addition to num.erous ot~er Important m~etillgs those held at Ipswich, Ketterlll?, Belfast, Derby, LeIcester, ld Nelson deserve special mentlOn. At the last nalned an ~~augural meeting was held for the dedication to ambulance work of a handsome hall specially erected for this purpose at a cost of some £2,000, the doors of the re. pective sections allotted to the work of the Brigade and of the Association being formally opened by. the Chief Uomlnissioner, Colonel Bo\yc.ller, and by the Chief Secr tary, Colonel 'ir Herbert Perrott, the former also unveiling a memorial which had been erected to the memory of a member of the local clivi lOn who died of enteric feyer while on service in South Africa. The excellent example set by the town of Nelson in this direction is worthy of all commendation, and will, it is hoped, be followed in many other localities, as it is obvioLls that if 1'acilitie ' are afforded for the better furtherance of ambulance work Ly the provision of suitable accolllmodation, it cannot fCl.il to lead to greater exten 'ion and intere t in this desirable branch of puulic instruction. At Liverpool, where there are six fully equipped police horse ambulances, 1,6 0 constables hold certiticates, and 1,1.,bG hold medallions, and 3,9 5 persons were as 'i tecl in cases of accident or sudden illnes during the year. At a meeting held in the Manche tel' Town Hall the Lord Mayor pre 'ented 267 llwdallion and certificates gttined by the members of the local police force, and the chairman of the "\Vatch COlllmittee pointed out that :2 ) melllber ' of the force held certificate, aud thi.lt c1urin u the In t fi,e vyear 10,570 persons had been taken to the Infirmaryand irnilar in titutions, or to their homes by the police and that 52 liyes had been saved. In the report i ued by the Chief of Police for the City of Birmingham, it was stated that the actual trength of the force in December, 1900, ,,'as 700. Of the e 650 had pa ed the first examination for certificate, 320 had obtained ,oucher and 259 medallions. No Ie s t.riking was the actual number of cases in which their kno\dedge was turned to account. During the year no fewer than 910 cases received aid, including 66.J. wounds, 77 fractures, 105 fits,21 burns and scalds, 10 dislocations and i1 case of hanging, in luany in tance the members being

No fewer than 447 members of the Leed police for e hold St. John Alnbulance Association certificate~, and l-.tcb pos ess the Association's Inedallion. The l?rize~ in titu~e:l by ome of the leading Railway Compmlles 111 recognltlOn of cases where first aid has been rendered hFl.ve again been Fl.warded in a large number of instances, and the Directors of the leading companies have continued to show their interest by presiding or attendino' variou meeting. Amono'st these have been the annual dinne~' of the Head-quarter Staff of the London and South- \"r estern Rail'\'ay Company, attended by Lord talbridge, Chairman of the London and ~ orth-,Vestern Railway COlllpany, the presentation of certificates to the Midland Railway employes by Sir Henry ,Viggin, Baronet., Chairman of the ,Vays and ,Yorks Committee, a meeting at Furne s for the formation of a Railway Centre, the Hight Honourable Sir J. T. Hibbert, K.GB., Chairman, presiding, and another at ,Varwick Castle for a district ambulance competition in connection with the London and :N orth-,Vestern Railw'ay Company, the teams being hospitably entertained by the Earl and Countess of 'Varwick. Some statistics as to the loss of life and the number of accidents occurrinbo' on the Rail way sy terns will be found in the report of the Organizing Commissioner. The extension of ambulance work in the British possessions beyond the Seas, especially in Au,tralia and ~ ew Zealand, continues to flourish with unabated vigour. It is gratifying that efforts are now being made to push the formation of Corps and Division~ of the Brig'ade in accordance with the latest reo'ubtions v b ' and a great stimulus to this movement has been given by the favourable terms in which the 1filitary Authurities speak of the services rendered by members of the Association who were on duty on the occasion of the visit of T.R.H. Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to the various towns in the Colonies, especially at Sydney. Surgeon-ilIajor G. A.

I tnwelled "'1via Bombay and II reached Ba,roda on the 27th. After <.:alhng on the Gaikwar I had at 'hi reque t an intelTiew with two of th X atiye medical men in the II enice of hi tate.

I arrived at (( Quetta on 6th April. Finding I did not improYe, I called in medical 'ad,ice and was told I ouo-ht to go hOllle at once. Application was (( accordingly made for a :JIedical Board to report on my Ctl,,'e. jIeal1II while, with the assi, tance of my brother Colonel U. E. Yate, the Chief , Commis ioner, and of Genel'Gtl •'ir Heginald Hart, commanding the II Di trict, a meeting was held at the Resid ncy, the proceedings of which , were duly notified to • t . J 01111' Gate at the time. A representative committee wa formed, with Colonel Yate as pre, ident, and Captain (( Creagh a. hon. secretary.

I look upon Quetta a. an ideal place for the formation (( of a first-rate Ambulance Centre. If we eyer do have a hard-fought " campaign on the frontier, it is at Quetta that a very large body of ~ troop will be concentrated, and where an important Base Ho, pital II mu. t be e tablished. Only those who know what railway travelling is (( in the hot weather between Quetta and the Indus Valley can conceive « how important it is that the ~orth-Western Railway should have in , readine s a well-trained ambulance corp, and well-equipped ambulance "carriage. with electl'ic lights and fan,'. Indeed, such c1:Ll'l'iages are (( needed on all Indian railway. " I left Quetta, for Bombay, at the end of April, and as the tell.mer <C on which I had ,ecUl'ed a passage did not ,ail from Bombay till the <C 9th :JIay, I hoped to utili e the week that I had to , pend there in " establi. hing the Bombay or ,Vestern India Centre. I had from the " first been in correspondence with friends there on the subject, and " during the few days I spent there in February, I had had the pleasUl'e " of explaining my scheme to Lord and Lady N orthcote, and to Colonel " Croly, R.A.:JLC., H.E. the Governor's •'urgeon, and I had also seen « :JIajor Quicke, who had just concluded a First Aid CIa s for the « Ladies of the ~ ational Indian A 'sociation. On my ani val in Bombay, " I heard both from Colonel Croly, and from :JIr. Bennett, the Editor "of the Tim,es of India, that Lord X orthcote proposed to visit « Bombay in July, and that he would then be happy to do anything in " his power to aid the work of our Association. I wa. fOl·tunate at once "to secure the services of Captain Pritchard (22nd jIadras Infantry) "and Mr. George Lund, as Joint Honoral'y •'ecretaries, and ~Ir.

Secretary had the sati .. factioll of recei\'ilJg the following letter from 11'.". E. Forster, Deputy-Ooroner. The members engageu in the removal being Messrs. Cunningham, Shrimpton, and Budu. [OOpy.] "DEAR Mr. BUDD,-At an inquest helu by me to-day on the bouy of Harriett Barber who was so dreadfully burnt on the 2Jth, Dr. Ooben spoke of the able and , Q ' prompt way the ambulance corps (sic.) rell10ved the poor creatl1l'e from ueeD s Road to the HOB}lital in CllUl'ch Lane, and with so little rain to the deceaseu. I

74 was requested by the jury to write an~ thank y~ul' Oorps (sic.) for their kindly services, and for the able way they carned out thClr duty, and I need scarcely say I fully endorse the jlll'y view of your conduct, which shows the trouble you all must have taken to have become so efficient in your humalle work.

April 26th, 1901. Some dissatisfaction haling been expressed with the conditions under which the Jitter and stretchers can be u,;ed, the Oommittee wish to a, ure the subscribers and public generally, that they wish them to be used in all cases of neccssity-but in the interest of sick and injured patient, they consider it advi,'able to procure the services of some one able to render first aid (a list of those qualified will be found at the Aldershot Institute, and other public places in the town), and considering the large number of persons in the town bolding first aid certificates, the Oommittee believe this can be done without loss of time in all case . The Oommittee has to deplore the death of Mrs, Clintou, who was one of the originators of ambulance classes in Aldershot.

80 ANNUAL REPORT. THE progress of the Centre is well marked. Commencing in 1880, it has graduall gained in public estimation. In the large manufacturing works of the town ve/ many workmen (hundreds annually) meet with bouily injury, and are instantlY attended to by ambulance men (fellow employe) with care and skill. Ambulanc~ men attend the matches of the Barrow Football Club, where they meet with a number of cases requiring prompt skilful first aid. The distribution of certificates and medallions is an annual public ceremon'y in the TowIl Hall, the Mayor and 1I1ayoress being pre ent; combined with the exhibition of ambulance exercises splinting, bandaging, artificial respiration, stretcher drill, etc., together with nUl'sin~ ,exercises by female members, bed-making, etc. Thele is a large public attendance and the demonstrations are received with frequent loud applause. Many members of tbe Centre exerted themselves in seeking subscriptions for the ambulance fuud for the sick and wounded of the South African war, and notwithstanding the number ;and variety of public projects in hand for relief purposes of a kindred nature , succeeded in raising nearly sixty pounds. The current year's course of lectures and classes recently conclude(l resulted in the granting of certificates to 33 men and 10 women pupils, ne'" beginners, and 3 women 'for home sick nursing. There are also eligible for re-examination 47 men anci '9 women first year's re-examiuation, and 15 men and 4 women second year's re-examination. The extensive Barrow Sbip-building and Armaments Construction Co., l'l1essrs. Vickers, Sons, and Maxim, have organized and financially maintain large classes of their workmen, who administer ambulance aid to numbers of their injured shopmates. The Furness Railway Co. have also formed a Railway centre, and commenced proceedings.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE Centre still retains its vitality, and is ever extending its sphere of usefulness: in a district which affords ample scope for the furth er extension of first aid work. A men's class was held at the close of last year (1900), and at the examination in December twenty-four members presented themselves before Surgeon-Major Hutton, the Examiner,who afterwards complimented them upon the smartness and skill displayed in the treatment of va.rious supposcd injuries. During the present year three serious cases of injury have been treated by members of the Centre, each necessitating removal in the ambulance carriage to Chesterfield Hospital. A large number of minor accidents also have been successfully treated during the year. A new class for men is now being organized.

7th October, 1901. DURI '0 the year ending September 30tb, 1901, satisfactory work has been done oy the local Centre. The same number of classes as in the previous year bave been carried on under the able conduct of the newly-appointetl members of the medical staff-D r. Braithwaite undertaking the class for men; and Dr. T. Buxton Flint conducting those for women, both in first aid, and sick nursing. All the classes were well attended and resulted in full pass lists-though all the students din not present themselves as candidates for examination . In the first aid course for men, 14 candidates obtained certificates, and 11 passed a first re-examination, whilst 3 qualified for the medallion of the Association . In the first aid eourse for women, 24 ca.ndidates obtained certificates, and in the nursing course, 17 obtained certificates, whilst 8 qualified by final examination for the medallion. The financial position 0f the Centre is still satisfactory, though some of the usual subscriptions have not yet been received in time to be included in the financial statement for the year. The Centre is to be congratulated on the addition to the medical staff, and also on the establishment of an ambulance station under the D evonshire Estate Office, kindly lent by Mr. Drewry free of charge, for the accommodation of the several stretcbers of the Centre, and the convenience of the public. Two new stretchers have been presenter! to tbe Cent~e, contributions therefore being collected by the Boys Brigade, one of them being mounted on a special litter, and bearing an inscribed plate stating that it is a memorial to the late Sergeant Perkins, who was killed in the Transvaal vVar, and who was a former member of the Centre.

A ANNUAL REPORT. FROM October, 1900, to October, 1901, first aid was rendered by members of this Oentre in 107 cases-viz., fractures 23, scalp wounds 10, the remainder being dislocations, severe cuts and sprains; 31 cases were conveyed on the ambulance carriage to the infirmary and h02pital ship, Hctmaclryad, the remainder being assisted to thcir homes, after first aid had been rendered.

During the winter months practice is held once a fortnight in the ambulance room erected for that purpose. The Centre, which is a self-supporting one, consists of 116 members, who are in an efficient state, and take great pride in the noble work. Another class was formed in November, and is now undergoing a course of l ectures under the able tuition of Dr. Thomas Wallace, M.D.

J'~U AL

THE local interest in ambulance "'ork c:mtinutes unabated . Several classes were carrieu on during the year, and these were attended by a considerable number of pupils. The nursing class held in the refectory by the kind permission of the Dean of Chester was largely attended. A considerable number of candidates entereu for the examinations, and a fair proportion of them obtained certificates. T he Mayor of Chester evinced his interest in thc \york by attending a public meeting, and giving away the prizes to the successful canuiuatt:'s. The ladies' nursing division carries on its work successfully.

The results have reached all expectatioIls, and proved to be a wise change.

The Dukinfield School Board has granted the use of one of the large central halls at the Crescent Road Board School for weekly practice and drill for the Brigade Division.

It is hoped that the several employers of labour will recognise the efforts of this Centre in order that the duties undertaken may not only he maintained but advanced. The

Mr. David Don, a.A., 104, Commercial Street, Dundee. ANNUAL REPORT. THE Committee beg to report that during the pa t session 26 clas es have Jeen held under the Dundee Centre. The total number of pupils who have received a com)l t course of instruction on first aid to the inj ul'cd and sick is 438 (286 men \~1~ 152 women). In all 187 pupils have received Jirst aid certificates, and 43 b e nrceiveJ the medallion of the Association. The total number of pupils who h:: received instruction in first aid junior comse is 87, of whom 65 have recel','ed' . e . . JUllJor certlficates. The total number of puplls who have re0eived instruction on hom nursing and hygiene i 146, of which 72 have received certificates. e Again, as in former years, warm thanks must be rendered to the doctors who have so kindly assisted in lecturing, examining classes, and in other ways; also to the gentlemen who have acted as secretaries at the various "Sections" under the Dundee Centre. The Committee are i~debt~d to Dr. M'Gillivray for having dclivered two public lectures under the ausplCes of the Dundee Cen tre on "First Aid in Eye Injuries "_ one in Alyth and the other in Dundee-and they ha ve pleasure in reportiug that these lect~res proved interest~ng and instrllcti ve, and were thoronghly appreciated by large andlCnce. The Coml1uttee have much pleasure in reporting that in December last they received from the Dundee Town Council the sum of £25, being amount voted by them to the Dundee Centre out of the Local Taxation Grant, 1899-1900, in aid of ambulance work in the city. Iany tributes to the ambulance skill of old pupils have been paid during the past year. Notably, three cases :-(1) A man who had sustained a compound fractUre in the leg in November last was temporarily and successfully dressed bV a member of the police force. (2) A man who had fallen into the new Fish Dock in June la~t was, rescued by a .member of the Harbour Ambulance Corps, and after twenty mm~tes work the patlent was restored to full consciousness. (3) A boy accidentally fell mto the Tay about three weeks ago, and "'as rcscued apparently lifpless. A. constable on duty was immediately on the scene, and after thirty-five minutes' constant application of the artificial mcans of rc pi ration the boy was in a condition to be removed for further treatment. These threc cases alone exemplify the usefulness of ambulance work in a large and busy centre like Dundee, where accidents are occurring almost daily. The Committee acknowledge , with thanks , the subscriptions received during the past ycar. The third competition for the Challenge Shield, opon to all members who hold the first aid certificate of the Association, and who reside in Scotland, took place in the Drill Hall, on Saturday, April 13th. The following teams took part:(1) Cardenden (Dr. Rorie, instructor); (2) Downfield (Dr. Butter, instructor); (3) Downfield (Dr. Butter, instructor); (4) Perth (Dr. P. Stewart, instructor); (5) Dundee (Dr. Gray, instructor); (6) Auchterardcr (Dr. Forrest, instructor); (7) D~~dee (Dr. Gray, instructor) ; (8) Dundee (Dr. Halley, instructor); (9) Dundee (Dr. Rmnear, instructor).

James Cleland, 1Ifr. David Fairful, Lleu ell, , t> , nil'. John Grieve, 1Ifr. David DOll (Secretary), and others. Colonel Rankin, the Chairman, stated that thcse competitions had done much to foster intercst in ambulance work, and that in Dundee Centre they had during the past season the larClest number of classes compared with any sincc the institution of the Centre sev:nteen years ago. He then announced the results of the competition. Lord Provost Hunter, in presenting the trophies, said that ambulance work deserved every encouragement on the part of those who were at the head of affairs. He remiuded those present that splendid service had been rendered in South Africa during the past two years by those who had a knowledge of ambulance work. H e 110inted out that a knowledge of first aid was not only llece sary for soldiers, but for men ilJ the railway service, in the police service, in engineering establishments, and in mills. Dr. Rorie (Carclenden) proposed a cordial vote of thanks to the judges, which was unanimously passed. Bctlcmcc Sheet CtS at 20th Ap1'il, 1901.

annual cour c of lectures for men in fir t aid was given as usual during the winter by Drs. S. G. loman and H. F. Ealand, when there wa a fair attendance of new members. The result of the examination being that 19 l1cceeded in passing: viz ., 7 th eir first, 4 their re-examiuation, and their final, for the medallion. D!'. Sloman again gave courses in first aid and nul' ing for laJies, the result of thei!' examination being that 8 passed in first aid, 3 their re-examination, 2 in nursing, and 7 their final for the medallion. The sel'vicell of the member have again been in great request, no less than 2 cases having becn recordeu as against 72 for the previous year. The ambulance van has been in great demand, haying conveyed <18 cases a distance of 422 miles, two of the ca es, yiz. olle to L eatherhcad, anu one to l field, Sussex, occupying two days. We regret to record the 10 s of a member of the Committee by the death of Dr. J. A. Lorimer, who was thrown from his trap and sustained a fracture of the base of the skull. The members of the Corp were very smart in turning out to his assistance, heing on the scene of the accident with the van, a distance of two miles, within half-an-hour of message. Thi was due in a measure to an important addition to our equipment, the Committee having pur· chased a private telephone wire between the hOllses of the two chief officers, one of whom being connected with the National Telephone Co., we are therefore able to call up members in each part of the town. Th e annual distribution of ccrtificates and medallions took place at a dinner (the first it is hoped of a series) at the Bush Hotel, presided oyer by Dr. S. G. loman, many of the principal residents being present. The voluntary work of the members being very highly spoken of by all speakers, especially by Dr. C. E. Lanner, who proposed the toast of the evening. The members took advantage of the gathering to present Dr. Sloman with a silver-mounted Winchester bread platter, and silver book marker to match, as a small recognition of his services to the Centre.

A NUAL REPORT. TIlE report for the Session 1900-1901 shows a falling-off in the number of the pupils taurrht and certificates bcrainetl. The nmmer has l)rOvetl to be not confined to work o and study; however. this is being remedied at the pre ent moment, for there are classes in acti ve work in connection with both of these services, still there have been taucrht durincr the session a total of] 31 per ons in nursing and b b first aiel, so that we are not ashamed of thc amount of work accomplished. Financially the Association still pays its way, and the only debt we have to face is a diffi cult one to pay--viz., the debt of gratitude \\'e owe to our subscribers, to our Oommittee, and last, but not lenst, to our medical men, wh o come t o our aid in giving lectures so freely and ably . Thanks are again due to M iss E. Rowe L ewis for

It is with feelings of the deepes~ orrow that the Committee have ~o record the ~vere 1.0ss we ha:e sustained during the year in the death of the Cha11'man of the Execnhve CommIttee, Major-General .J oseph Ford Sherer, his "alnable aUll generous care and support for ten years have mainly contributed to the success and maintenance of the work of the Oentre, While his genial temperameut always ,rendered diniculties conspicuous by their absence. .1\11'. H" ' Y. Mitchell (Ohairman of the School Board) has kindly accepted the position of ·Chairman of the Executiyc Committee rendered vacant, and has been appointed to.day by the Committec. Two ca es of first aid have comc to thc notice of the Secretary. ,C. BuffaI'd, in the employ of the Hastings Oorporation, rcceived severe injuries through the falling of some cement, a broken thigh, a broken arm, and several broken ribs . J ames Hope, a pupil of these cIa es, promptly rendered efficient help, and was complimented by the house sUl'f!eon of the hospital, whither the sufferer wa conyeyed. At the cricket match a lady's clothcs were set on fire by a carelessly. .thrown match. lUr. Thoma::. Boucher, who was standing uy, threw her to the ground and with his hands put out the flames, and thus prohably sayed her from severe injury.

Over and above these, 150 men and 3~ women attended I) rial courscs of lecture for preparing themsel ves for re.exalll· , lna· tion for ,"onchers and medallions. Of this numbcr two men and four women failed to sati fy thc examincrs. From the above wc scc that there hav e been 292 men and 165 women, or n, tobtl of 457, who haye rcccivcd in truction in rendering first aid to the injureu during the year cnuing cptcm bcr 30th. D uring the month of June a mon tcr Coal Mincr ' DemOl}stration was held ill De\\'sbUl'y, \\'hen no less than 0,000 miners ",alkell in procession through the principal strect , accompanied by eighty bands of 111n ic. A nunlber of certificatecl membcrs, along with a batch of thc Divi, iOIl of the Brigade ancl Nursing sisters, were told off to variou stations, to render first aid if neces al'y. All passed oIf well, as only fiftepu ca es of fainting had to be rcported, thanks to thc excellent arrangements made by the :Mayor and Chief ConstaLlc, ince the formation of the Heavy Woollcn District Centre, 5,746 Certificates have been i ned, a \\' ell as 76 medallions, making a grand total of 6,622. The thanks of the officers and Committee are herc tendered to the meuical gentlemen \\'ho have lectured to the several classe<> during the year. It may be of some interest to state that 256 conrse~ of lectures l1ave been gratuitol1sly given by the medical men in the di trict. The num bel' of qualificd practitioners who have willingly taken part is fifty, the whole of whom are, or haye been resident in the area of the Heavy ·Woollen District Centre; amI when we conf!ider that each COlUHC COil ists of at lcast . ix spccial evenings, ,,"e find that the e gentlemen have given 111' no Ic than 1,530 evenings to this charitable object.

ANKUAL REPORT. THE work has gone on and. increased, and. over £360 has passed through the Secretary's hands this ),e:1r. This is greatly because Association and Brigade work together here, and so the uniform of the I pswich Corps has been all paid for through the Centre. The Hon. Secretary of the Centre was also asked to present the new Ea t Anglian ChallEmge Cu p at the first com petition. A very successful fete was held on Whit-Monday, and the £34 gained. is to be the nucleus of the H ead-quarters' Fund, a head-quarters being now an urgent necessity. There have been quite 200 cases of fir t aid rendered and removals, and the horse ambulance carriage has certainly travelled 300 miles. To Messrs. C. W. Gooderham and Ide belong)he credit of ha,ing saved life. A man with compound fracture of the femur would have bled to death before reaching the hospital. The crowd tri ed to give brandy, and was thoroughly angry with the ambulance men for refusing to allow it, and to use the cab which had been sent for. The men rendered first aid until the arrival of the ambulance carriage and of the doctor, Dr. Eades, for whom they had at once sent, and he testified at once to their having saved the man's life.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE present position of ambulance affairs throughout this Centre is highly gratifying. Ooe looks back on times of apathy and discouragement, and realizes that, after all, steady and persistent work is sure to tell in the long run . During the past year 19 classes have been conducted; 209 men and 117 women have completed courses of instruction; 256 certificates and 41 medallions have been gained. No previous year has shown any such results, and this is not all; the certificated pupils pass into the ambulance corps and nursing divisions, all of which are in a highly efficient state, and ready for every eme rgency. T he services, alike of ambulance men and nursing sisters, are in frequent demand in tbis (factory) town and the adjacent villages, and gratefully welcomed.

iu their list of subjects.

Forty-eight classes have been held in the town and county;

4 women's nursing, 10 women's first aid, and 1 in men's nursing; and 33 in men's

first aid; 507 men were examined, 454 of whom passed, and 177 men examined, 157 passed, making a total of 611 certificates issued.

The re-examinations also show

a considerable increase; 236 men presented themselves, and all satisfied the .examiners; of 33 women examined, 30 passed.

During the year fi5 mellallions bave

been i sued, 30 to men, and 25 to women. The Committee have pleasure in stating that two large and successful classes have beeu held, cons isting of Midland Railway employes, anu 26 men of the Permanent Way Department, and 30 of the Locomotive Department obtained their certificates. 'This mnst be regarded with special sati faction, ambulance knowledge being most e sential to men who are constantly among t the dangers inevitably associated with railway work.

It is no less gratifying to report classes in connection with the

borough police and the fire brigaue, a large percentage of the member of which are now certificate holders . The Oommittee desire to eXl!ress their gratituue to the Medical Staff for their gratuitous as istauce.

The increased work of the Oentre during the past session

adds materially to the deep sense of the obligation the Oommittee owe to them for the \yilliug manner in which they have given their services. The annual public meeting took place at the Temperance Hall on Monday, October 22nd, 1900, and was largely attended, the hall ueing filled in every part. Amongst those who were present was His W ol'ship the Mayor (Ahl. 'Yindl ey,

Sir John Rolleston, M.P. , A sistant Oommissioner T. H. \\~oolston, Rev. Oanon Sanders, LL.D. (Ohairman of the Oentre), Mr. Wortley S. Lovell (Vice-Ohairman).

The proceedincrs '" • . b "er& rendered additionally attractive by the presence o[ Lady Sarah 'Wilson, who gracefully presented the certificates and medallions. The re nIt of the aturday collection, considering the nnmber of calls which were being made at this time upon the genero ity of the public, mllst be considered as fairly succe flllly, £19 Os. 9d. being rea Ii ed, '.fter all expenses hac.l been paid. The Committee acknowlec.lge with gratitude .he material help given to the Funds of the Centre. They have, however, to take into early consideration S0111e more permanent method of obtaining money to carry out the large: .nel increasing work of the Centre. The Committee again express their thanks to the Subscribers fot' their kind help, in enabling them to uphold the l)roud position Leicester has gained in ambulance work., at the same time they trust that duringlthe corning year the subscription list will be considerably augmented, Sl) that the Centre ma;v still further extend its sphere of usefulne s. The opportlUlity cannot be allowed to pass by without expressing the regret of the Committee at the 1'e ignation of l\Iiss Fullagll.l' from the l)osition of Assistant Secretary for the women' classes. Mi s Fullagar, who is an H onorary Associate of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England, hus been connected with the ambulance movement since the formation of the Centre, first as General Secretary, and afterwards as Secretary of the women's classes. The Committee most unwillingly accepted her resignation, knowing as they did the thorough and earnest work which had been done, and the valuable and skilful help Miss Fnllagar always so generously gave to the furtherance of the eause of first aid anrl sick nursing. They trust that for the sake of the "ork her advice and experience may l()ng be held at the disposal of the Committee. The annual Shield Competition took place at the Old Town Hall on Tlmrs:!ay, January 24th, 1901. Depnty Inspector-Generall\I. Coates, ~r.ll . , R.X., again undertook the duty of judging the merit of the respective teams. The following was the award :-1. The \Vheatsheaf Division, with a total of 372 marks; 2. The vVorking Men's Club and Institute Division, 3-16 marks; 3. The Adult 'chool Division, 307 marks. Maximulll numher of points, 450. The following are the winners of the Shield, which they are entitled to hold for ~yelve months :-1\lessrs. Matthews, Wignall, Lord, Pmyell, and Ward. In addition to becoming holders of the Shield, the Wheatsheaf Di,i ion receives the sum of £2 lOs. towards its working expenses, and each member receives a silver medallion, or its equiyalent. Th e members of the second team each reccive a bronzc medal. An unusually large number of cases of first aid rendered by certificate holders has been reported. Space will not permit a detailed account of the different injuries that have been treated. It must be sufficient to say that the Leicester Branch of the St. John Ambulance Association continues to do a splendid work-a work appreciated by the public generally, and which has the hearty co-operation and a si tance of the merlical men of the town. I n conclusion, it gives the Committee much pleasure)n reporting that the work of the past session has been the greatest since the formation of the Centre, and that the prospects for the coming session show no sign of any diminution or loss of interest in the work.

Ar NU AL REPORT. ALTUOUGH the number of clas es held in this Oentre during the past year has not been quite so numerous as in thc previons one, yet they have been well attended and most successful. Therc have bccn held 12 clas cs in first aid, attended by 277 pupils, and 4 women's nursing classcs, attendcu by 97 pupils, anu 2 0 certificates haye been granted. Large numbers of those who year by year obtain certificates join the Northampton Oorps of the St. John Anlbulance Brigade, and render efficient service in first aid anll transport work. During the pa. t year 520 cases of first aiel have been reportcd, incluuing over fifty fractures and dislocations. A special word of praise ill this connection must be given to those who so promptly and efficiently rcndered as istance to the sufferer's in the recent dreadful accident cau erl by the overturning of a loaded tramcar in l\Iercer's Row, the fact that over twenty serious case, principally componnd fractures, ,yere attended to, and properly conveyed to the Iufil'mary on stretchers within twenty-five minutes of the catastrophe speaks for itself, and the Hon. Surgeons at that Illstitutioureport that owing to the excellent manner in which first aid had oeen afforded to the sufferers the majority of them made a rapid recovery. The ambulance carriages have been used dnriug the year for the transport of 84 patients, and have travelled 612 miles, the services of officers and men being in every case cheerfully and gratuitously given. It is with profound sorrow that this Oommittee have to record the death in the prime of life of one who must be lookell upon as the founder of ambulance work in this district, and who for the whole period since the formation of the Oentre has taken a leading part in the organization . Whether as local H on . Secretary, Chairman of Oommittee, or Ohief Surgeon of the Corps, the late Dr. Arthur H. Jon es always threw his great, energy and business capacity into t he work . and :\[

inspired in others much enthusiasm to assist in the cause of suffering humanity. At a meeting presided over by the Mayor (Mr. F. G. Adnitt,), high tribute was paid to the memory of onr late Ohailman, and a vote of deepest sympathy accorded to Mrs. Jones and her fami ly in their irreparable loss. The Oommittee desire to tendcr their sincere thanks to those noblemen and gentlemen who so generously entertained at a banquet in the Guildhall those men who had returned after having served their Queen and country in outh Africa. The remembrauce of that gathering \Villli ve long in the memory of those privileged to be present, and especially the gracious messages of thanks and congratulation sent through the Pl'esident, the Marquis of N orthampton, by Her Majesty the late Queen Victoria and H. R. H . the Prince of Wales. Excellent reports have been received from country sections, in most of which good work is in progress. I n conclusion, the Oommittee tender hearty thanks to the Governors of the I nfirmary for the use of a room for lectures and drills; Messrs. Hughes & 00. for providing the Oentre with an office : Drs. Ohamberlain, Cropley, H owatt, and Jacobs for p-ratuitous courses of lectures; Mr. J . Oooper, J.P., for his great kindness to all at the annual inspection of the Oorps and to Mr. G. W . Gordon for a uditing the accounts.

IT is with pleasure that the Committee present their eventeenth Annual Report . The work continues to be satisfactory, and there is abundant reason for congra.tulation. But the Committee much regret to have to record the 10. s by death of one of their Vice- Presidents. The late Mr. Woodall seems to have been the very first to take any practical step towards promoting ambulance work in the Potteries, at Bnrslem, and elsewhere in North StalforJshire, his interest and active support were always available. His high public position, well-known sympathy with all philanthropic effort, and his great personal popularity enhan ced the effect of all that he did for the cause. This Ambulance Centre feels hi los k een ly, and will gratefully cherish his memory. It is a pleasure to announce that il' Thomas alt, Bart., ha accepted the office of VicePresident. Sir Thoma Salt in his position of Chairman of the North Stafford Railway CompaT1Y, has long taken an interest in Ambulance ,Vork, and, together with hi Board of Director.;;, has done much to encourage Railway men to become efficient in first aiJ. The year has been fmitful in steady progress. 'fhe chief cause for sR-tisfaction is not any increase in the number of students-which cannot always be expected-but a vi ible growth of appreciation of a,mbulance \\'ork among th e public, anJ an even heartier support than ever on the part of the m embers of the Medical Profession. The Committee again offer thp.ir incel'e thanks to all the Honorary Medical taff. We have already allurleJ to the general efficiency of the N. S. Railway men. ,Ye arc glad to add that the Police of the County, and of se\-eral Boroughs, are also encouraged 1y their Authorities to qualify themselves. This is an important factor in increasing the public safety. The Staffordshire County Council have kindly continued their welcome grant in aid of certain of the classes organized by tho Centre in accordance with theilregulations and reqnirements.

AI. NUAL REPOHT .

THE past year has been characterized by the same activity and earnestness in ambulance work which was commented on in the la t annual report. It is gratifying to be able to say that the stimulus given by the outh African war appears to have permauently benefited the work of this Centre. Of 137 ambulance men who went from Oldham to South Africa a large proportion have now returned home, and the Committee wish to express their gratification that "'ithont exception the conduct of the men ha been good, and their work has been done in a sati factory manner. The Committee deeply regret that three men lost their Ii vas in the performance of their ·dnty in South Africa, and eXl)I'ess their sympathy with the relatives and friends who mourn their loss. During the year 23 classes have been completed, and 495 certifi. ·cates aud 69 medallions have been awarded. To the lecturers, Drs. Bauchop, Oliver, "\Vakelam, A. Thomson, Fort, Hearn, La,,,, Lendrlll11, and "\Yilkinsoll, aU of whom have, as usual, given their services gratuitou 'ly, the cordial thanks of the Oentre is again ·d ue. T he Oommittee have great pleaslll'e in recording that District Ohief Surgeon T homson ani!. Ambulance Officer Sellars had the honour on July 17th to receive from the hands of H is Majesty the King the medal for conspicuous service to the .ambulance department of the Order. A large number of cases have received efficient first aid during the year, and the horse ambulance service has been worked with .great promptitnde, and has been largely taken advantagc of.

ANNUAL REPORT. SIX claSSeS have been held during the past session which were attended by 114 pupils. A new depa.rtl1re was the inauguration of a class for Smack-boys; this was held, by kind permission at the Smack-boys Home, and was commenced by Dr. Tamplin . Arrangements are being made to hold simultaneous clarsses for the fisher folk here, and at L owestoft, as there is considerable difIleulty in gettillg opportunity for the necessary instrueti.on at one port only, and it is believed that as soon as arrangements are finally made, a nd become generally known, such classes will be warmly welcomed by those concerned, and will be t horoughly successful.

ANI UAL HEPORT. DURING the year classes have been held at pringhead, D enshaw, Uppermill, and Diggle with very gratifying results. It is pleasing to the Committee to know that there have again been many instances where the knowledge gained at these cla~ses has been of great value in alleviating pain, and in at least one case of saving life. ·While such usefulness exists the Committee feel sure that they will receive, as in the past, the hearty support and assistance of the public at large. To the nledical Statf, the Committee and students are extremely grateful for the uninterested efforts they have put forth. I n June last a succe ful cycle parade was held, by which both the Association and the Volunteel' force were benefited. During the year 36 men were examined in first aid, 19 ladies in first aid, 51 ladies in ick nursing, and 36 ladies in hygiene; 3 men failed in fir t aill, :2 ladies in sick nursing, and 1 lady in hygiene; 2 meu and 30 ladies have q l1alified for the medallions issued by the Association. Since the Centre was formed 211 men have been examined in first aid, 249 ladies in first aid, 1 6 ladies in sick nursing, and 36 ladies in hygiene; men failed in first aid, 4 ladies in first aid, 9 ladies in sick nur, ing, and 1 lady in hygiene; 41 medallions have been is ued to men, and 68 to ladies.

AN TUAL REPORT. IN presenting the Nineteenth Annual Report the Committee are glad to be able to state that dnring the past year much good work has been done hy the Sheffield Oentre. Twenty-six classes have ueen held (twenty-four first aid and two nursing), and in audition to these the memuers of thirty-eight classes (twenty-seven first aid and ele\ren nursing) heldJin connection with chool Board Evening Oontinuation Schools, have had the benefit of examination by the Official Examiner of the Association. The total membership of t.hese classes was 961, as against 835 in the previous year. At the examinations h ·ld on behalf of the Central Execntive, 6 7 students (including 89 juniors) passed the first examination, 142 the first re-examination, and 139 the seconu or final re-examination. These figures , added to those of previons years, make a total of ll, 035 passe~ since the formation of the centre. The follO\\"ing members of the medical profe sion have kindly acted as lecturers uuder the Centre during the past year :-Mr. P . E. Barber, Dr. P. Bennett, Dr. W. Branson, Mr. V. G. . Dearden, Dr. Fordyce (Hackenthorpe), Mr. H. Hallam, l'tlr. J. R. Hill, Dr. Kenny (Treeton), Dr. Peterson (Intake), Mr. R. H. Pritchard, Dr. Rooth (Dronfield), Dr. Scott (Woodhouse), l'tIr. T. A. Sheahan, Dr. G. Skinner, Dr. Innes-Smith, Dr. J. Stokes, Mr. J. W. tokes, Mr. W. E . Toync, and Miss Westlake. Successful classes have been held during the past year at several of the large works in the district. '1.'hc Oommittee wonld again urge npon all employers of labonr the desirability of enconraging the formation of fir t aid classes amongst their men. A class has been held for llIe1l1 hers of the Police Force, and 34 officers have during the year passed the first examination. The Committee wonld respectfnlly point out to the Watch Oommittee the advisability of maintaining the proficiency of the force in the art of rendering first aid to the inj ured. Classes have also been held in connection with the heffield Ambulance Brigade the Boys' Brigade and the Sheffield Sunday School Union. The Ambulance Brigade formed in heffield two years ago has continued to do much good work in maintaining the high standard of effi ciency attained to by many ambulance men in Sheffield. The Committee would heartily congratulate the offieers and members of the Brigade upon ttle success of their efforts. Reference was made in the last Annual Report to the pnrchase of an improved twohorse ambulance carriage by the City Watch Oommittee. T his carriage, and also the one provided by t he Centre some years ago, has been very much in request during the past year, the number of calls since January 1st last; having been no l ess than .589, as compared with a total of 29 in the preceding year. The carriages are in

188

ANNUAL REPORT. DURING the past year several classes have been hcld; 35 members of the Borough Police Force attended a conrse of lectures, and of these 3 received medallions, 10 received first re·examination vouchers, and 15 received first aid. certificates. On several occasions they have been able to render valuable aid in cases of accident. For the first time in the history of this centre a clas of men have attended nursing lectures and all succeeded in passing. For several years past classes for first aid training have been held in connection with the Science and Art Oommittee of the Southport Corporation, but hitherto that Committee have refused to allow the pupils to be cxamined by the t. John Ambulance A sociation Examiners. It has now been arranged that for the future all such classes shall ba held in connection ",ith this centre. Statement oj Receipts and Expenclit~wejor 1900·1901.

ANNUAL REPORT. IN presenting the cighteenth annual report, the Oommittee are pleased to state that the work of this Oentre is carried on with unabatcd interest, and that steady progress continues to be the feature of this Centre's work. During the year ended October 1st, 1901, 13 classes han been held. Oompared with last year this shows an increase of 5 classes with an aggregate of 190 students against 176 last year. Since the formation of this Centre 1 years ago, the following certificates and medallions have been granted :-Lac1ies' first aid 477, nursing 264, medallions 215 ; men's fhst aid 17l0, medallions 363 ; grant total certificates and mcdallions 3,029 . The progress of the work of the Oentre is largely due to the' indefatigable energie3 of the Medical Staff, whose di intere ted labours are willingly placed at the disposal of the Centre, and to all of whom yonI' OOlllmittee are deeply grateful, likewise to the Hon. Class ecretaries of the men's classes, and to :;Uisses Robson and kinner, Hon. Secretaries to the ladies' cIa ses. The Committee gratefnlly acknowlcdge the continued support of the Oorporation by a grant from the Technical Educ[1tion Oommittee, which brings the opportunity of obtaining instruction in ambulance work within the reach of all classes of the community. The interest of the police in the work is unabated, pmctically the whole of the members of the borough and river police are certificated men, and are freq ueat1+called upon to render [1ssistance in ca e of street accidents, some notable cases where first aid has been efficiently rendered have been reported. Weare pleased to record that tile borough police have formell themselves into a Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigarle. This is the first men's Division formed in the town. Seventy. five boys of the Wellesley training ship have passed a highly creditabl~ examination during the year. This is a most satisfactory state of things, and shows the great interest taken in the boys by Oaptain Baynham and the officers of the Wellesley training ship.

193

192 Weare again indebted to 1\1iss Ro bso11 and 1\1iss Skinner, the Hon. Secretaries t the ladies' classes. The interest taken in these classes is very satisfactory , for' , as0 was pointed out in our last annual report, from these classes alone the ranks of th ladies' nursing guild are recruited, also the ladies' division of St. John Ambulanc: Brigade, which was formed last year. In conclusion, we do not record the cases where invaluable help has been oO'iv en, and probably life saved, by our students, but from cases reported the Committee are convinced of the reality of the work of this Centre, and are encouraged to continue their work, relying upon the inhabitants of the borough for practical sympathy and support to an Association, which has for its only object the relief of human suffering.

Mr. J. Dunn. A "NUAL REPORT.

INpresenting the annual report the Committee are again pleased to record that a large number of good work has been accomplished during the year. The work of the Centre has progressed favourably, increasing interest has been manifested, and the outlook for next session is very encouraging. During the year two classes have been held-one from females (conducted by Dr. W. P. Brown) and one for males (conducted by Dr. J. Dunn), for instruction in first aid. The classes have been most successful, for which great credit is due to the instructors and to the students for the interest they have taken in their studies. As mentioned in last year's report, the Committee have expended £10 on nursing appliances, which have been in great demand by the public. A cupboard has been erected in the fire brigade station for hould anyone require any of the above appliances the purpose of storing the same. they can be obtained from Mr. Dilworth, caretaker of the Public Baths, on production of a written request signed by the sick person's medical attendant, district nurse, or t.he local Hon. Secretary. The ambulance carriage has been used twenty-six times since March 1st, 1900, and students have rt'!1dered valuable assistance in the removal of accident and invalid cases. It becomes a pleasant duty to revert with sincere gratitude to the continued devotion of the medical staff, Dr . Brown and Dr. Dunn, who are unceasing in rendering gratuitous services in instructing students, and without their valuable assistance the certificates of the past year could not have been gained. The Oommittee beg to tender their most hearty thanks to all subscribers and friends who have helped on the work in anyway. It is a pleasure also to be able to state that the Association was instrumental in raising the sum of £25 by a concert held in the Town Hall on March 3rd, 1900, for the purpose of assisting the local War Relief Fund, which amount was handed over to the Oommitt.ee dealing with that matter. In conclusion the Oommittee beg to impress on all present the growing necessity for a knowledge of how to render first aid in cases of accident or sudden illness, and so be the means of saving much suffering, and may be human life, an d trust that the new classes may be still more successfnl than those of the past.

A "NUAL REPORT. Oommittee, in presenting the annual report of the Adelaide Centre, have much pleasure in stating that the progress made during the period under review has been satisfactory in every respect, as whilst the finances of this Centre have greatly improved, no less than 210 pupils have been present at first aid classes and 44 pupils have attended nursing classes. Bp.fore referring more particularly to the work of the past year the Committee wish to place on record their sense of the deep loss which has been sustained by the whole of the British Empire through the death of H er Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, the Sovereign Head of the Order of St. John of Jerusalcm in England. By the financial statement which accompanies this report it will be noted that the Association is once more in receipt of the Government subsidy of £ 50, which is gratifying, and enables the Association to revive the liberal terms on which the railway employes and. the police can attend the classes. So far the railway servants have not thi year for111ed. any classes, which is to be regretted when the special character of their occupation is considered j but it is pleasing to record that Colonel Madley (Commissioner of Police) has formed two maximum classes from members of the City Police Force, one of which is now going through a course of lectures under Dr. Morgan, and on completion the other will immediately follow. By the class books of the Association it is now shown that 1,702 persrms hold firs t aid certifi cates, 24.6 hold nursing certificates, and 170 hold junior ccrtificates from the Adelaide Centre.

In conclusion, th e Committee would point out the good work done by this Centrein the ?~st, and express the .hope that all who are ~on.versa~t with the advantages of the trallllllg and knowledge Imparted by the ASSocHl.tLOn WIll combine in inclucina their friends to attend the lectures, and so acquire information necessary to euabl: them to render assistance in cases of accillent or illness.

ANNUAL REPORT. IN presenting the Ele,'enth Annual Report uf the New South Wales Centre of the St. John Ambulance A ociation, the Council have much pleasure in referring to the increasing actiyity of the work of the Oentre. An address \)f loyalty and welcome was presented to His Excellency the GovernorGeneral shortly after his al'l'ival, in which was included expressions of sorrow and regret at the death of Her late .Majesty Qlleen Victoria, the "overeign Head and Patron of the Order, anu a declaration of loyal allegiance to her son and successor, His Majesty hing EdwarJ. VII. Perhaps the most important work of the year is the establishment of the St. John .Ambulance Brigade for the State of New South ,Vales. On :llIay 29th, H.R.H. the Duke of Cornwall and York received a deputation from the Executive Committee when an address of welcome was presented, anu which was duly acknowl edgeJ. by His Royal Highness. Lt. -001. Yandeleur Kelly, Lt. -Col. T. Parrott, Lt. Col. Fiaschi, D. S. 0., and lIIajor Roth, D.S. O., who had been a,ny on active service, were welcomed back to office. Your Committee report with pleasure the formation of a branch of the Association at Suva, Fiji, where it is expected good progress will be made in this new fielJ. The Medical men and officers are showing a keen interest in the work of instruction on these islands. A large public meeting was held in connection with the Balmain Branch in 1I1arch last-lI.i:r. J. W. Hope presiding-Lt. -Col. Parrottj presented medallions and certificates. An important public meeting was also held in May last at Summer EiJl, when the Western Suburbs Branch officially opened their Ambulance Station. 1111'. Winchcombe, M. P., presided, and Major Roth au dressed the meeting. Largely fI.ttended public meetings have also been held in the city, suburbs and eountry districts for the purpose of forming classes and presentation of certificates. A number of classes have been instructed during the year in all parts of the State. Perhaps the most important are those held in connection with the Police Department; members of the police force are constantly receiving instruction in first aid, and an arrangement is a bout to be suggested to the Inspector-General which will admit of members attending classes who are not at the time required for duty. The number of metropulitan police now instructed amounts to 354, of whom 236 hold certificates and 8 have received medallions. The Superint endent bas kindly furnished a report, giving a number ot cases in which important first aid has been rendered by certificated constables.

The Minister for Public Instruction has again IJeen pleased to have classes formed amongst the students in training at Fort treet and Hurlsione Training Oolleges (:Ma jor Roth being the L e c t m e r ) . . . . Lectures in aiel of the funds were glven by Major Holmes, D.,'.O., and 11aJor Roth, D.S.O. , by means of which about £40 was realiscd. three adJ.itional boxes of comforts were forwarded to the Red DurillO'o the year . .Cross Oommittee at Cape Town, for the Australian Troops. Messrs. Dalgety & Co. rendered us valuable assistance in this work by carrying the boxes free to Cape Town. Sir Herbert P errott and the Commissioner of the ReO. Cross Association at Cape Town tendered their best thanks to Miss Greenway and the dOllors of the comforts. The work done shows that 723 candidatcs have attended a full course of instruction during the year-(289 men and 434 women), of whom 499 passed their examinations (men 219, women 2 0), and 19 (lllalified for medallions. The total number of persons who have attcnued a full course of Ambulance Lectures now amounts to 7,572 , of whom 5,146 lJassed their examination (2,352 men, 2,794 women), and 245 have qualified for mcdallions by passing the third and final examination.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE Oouncil of the Victoria Oentre of the St. JOh]l Amlmlance Asso ciation hare much pleasure in presenting their Eighteenth Annual Report to the members and subscribers. On learning of th e death of H er late Maj esty Queen Yictoriu, the SoYereign Head and Patron of the Order, (the Oouncil, through the President, Dr. J. E. Neild.. forwarded to His Majesty the King, through the Ohief eeretury in London, a cop; of a resolution expressing their sincere sorrow at the death of H er late Majesty, and declaring their loyal allegiance to her son anu 'ucce · or, Hi Maj esty King Edward VII. The Oonncill'eport with sincere regret the death of their esteemed President, 1111'. Lloyd Tayler, which took place on the 17th August; and that a letter of sympathy was forwarded to his widow and family. Mr. Lloyd Tayler was Olle of the founders of this centre, and was connected with it since its initiation in 1 83 , and as President since the death of Sir Wm. J. Olarke, Bart. H e always took the greatest interest in its IJrogress, and was most regular in his attendance at all it meetings. The Oouncil have also to record the death of Mr. George Wrigley in May last. He was connected with the Association as a member of the Oouncil since 1895, and proved an active member. Dr. James Edward Neild, Honorary Associate of the Order, was elected ,President in place of the late Mr. Lloyd T ayler, and Mr. John Blyth, Ohairman of Council, and Mr. J. O. Anderson, Hon. Treasurer.

aud York, K.G. The work of the Association shows some progress during the year, 33 classes having bew in structed, and the receipts from class fees show a small increase-still insufficieut to uefray the ",Jorking expenses. The list of Life members bas been increased by fifteen. The Oouncil beg to tender their sincere thanks to those members, and would be glad to add others; the ,qualification is a llonation of five guineas, and these rlonations enable the Association to extend its opemtions in instruction, and to maintain the ambulance service. Your Council also desire to tender their thanks for many other liberal donations. A new am bulaJlee waggon has been built, and through the generosity of the "Daughters of the Oourt," who establishec1 a Twentieth Oentury :Fund for the purpose of defraying the cost of the waggon, the sum of £90 was raised and forwarded by Mrs. L. J. Bevan, High Dame of the Order, anu Mrs. Neild to the Association through the President, Dr. J. E. Neild, for the purpose. The ambulance waggon has proved a great boon to the public, both in cases of accident and for the transport of invalids, as evidenced by the fact that it has been called out over 400 times during the past twelve monLhs. The Oouncil desire to acknowledge the valuable assistance whieh Ohief Officer Stein has rendered in superintending thi!:l work; also to express thanks to the Fire Brigade Board. who so generously permitteu it to he canied 011 until, owingto the increasing demand on the time of their men and horse ', it became necessary to request the A sociation to recoup them for the actual cost of maintaining this service. The ambulance waggon may be summoned hy telephone or otherwise, and sufferers from any serious accident will be expeditiou 1y removed by members of the brigade, who have been carefully trained how to render first aid to the injured when required. Your Council arc glad to notice the increasing appreciation of ambulance classes, which have been held in connection with Public and Private chools, Mechanics' Institutes, Schools of Mines, Technica l Oolleges, the Australian N ati ves' Association, Young Men 's and Women's A ocia tions, Girl ' Friendly Societies, and kindred associations which afford pecial facilitie for organising and holding classes, and also in connection with manufacturing companies, such as the Deer Park Explosives Company, The Ohemical ,Yorks, The ugar Refining Oompany, The Mutual Store, &c., &c. The Council ag,l,ill uesire to impre s on the jl,Iinister of Education, the principals of schools, and all education:11 institution, the importance of forming classes und having their pupils taught \yha,t to do in cases of accident 01' sudden illness until the aid of a medical man can be obtained. The ability to renLler first aid is undoubtedly one of the most important branches of eLlucation. Schools, above all, afforu the best opportunity, at the age when impressions are most deeply made, for leaming what to do in ca es of accident; and as an ind.ncement, the fee for tho e attel1Llin oa . chool has been reduced to five shillinas for 0 a course of lectures on first aid, and a certificate is a\yarued on pa sing an examination.

IN presenting the report for the year the Oommittee i pleased to be in a l)osition to state that the work done ha been satisfactory. Three classes were held in Dunedin -viz., a men's first aiel, conducted by Dr. H. A. de L autour, and examined by Dr. Macpherson and Dr. Stenhouse; a women's first aid, conducted by Dr. Macpherson and examined oy Dr. Will and Dr. de L autour ; a women's nursing, conducted by Dr. Will and examined by Dr. Gordon Macdonald and Dr. MacKellar. The applications for attendance were in excess of the means of instruction, so that many had to be refu sed in each class. The number attending the men's first aid class was

22,5

22~

55, attending the women's first aid 5 ,and attending the nursing 69, making a total of 1 2. Besides the e classes, one composed of ])jem bel's of the Engineers was held with an attemll1nce of 46, which was conducterl by Surgeon-Major Will and examined by Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel de Lautour. In Oamaru the Branch of this Centre canied on nccessfullya cla s each [or men's l1nd women's first aid and anothel for Jll1l'sing. The lecturer for these cIa ses were re 'pectively : Drs. J. 'Whitton, Dr. A. Douglas, and Dr. K. McAdam; Dr. Falconer undertaking the examination of the men's first ail and the nnrsillg, while Dr. Cruickshank conducted the examination of the women's fir t rtid . Dr. A. tenhou e lectl1l'ed to and Dr. MaeKniaht examined a cIa s in meu's first aid at St. Bathan's. At Crolllwell n, class in lll~'S first aid and one in women's fir t aid were held, the lectures being given by Dr. Morris and the examination made by Dr. Gregg. Tapa,nui, again this year, had a class each for women and men in fir t aid, Dr. B. E. rle Lantour lecturinCl and Dl' , t:> G. A. Copland examining. Dr. Hislop's classes at \Yaikonaiti were also helel, and Dr. Macpherson examined the member. In the majority of the pa, ses the knowledae I:> ~hown by tho e coming up for examination wa, the examiners say, yery creditable, and in some case remarkably 80 , As n ual, a numher of students at the l\Iining School attended the men's first aid class in Dunedin to obtain the St, John Ambulance Certificate, which is required before the diploma can be received ,' also four ladies who are being trained in missionary work attended the women's first aid class to obtain a knowledge of ambulallce work. The Committee takes this opportunity of thanking the medical gentlemen who have conducted the lectures and examinations, and at considerable trouble to themselves. The thanks of the Centre are due to uperintelldent Mitchell and members of the Fire Brigade for the use of the Brigade rooms for meeting of the men's class; to the New Zealand hipping Company for their appreciation of the good work done by the Association by remitting the freight of the litter, &c., for the Oamaru Corps, this being the second time the company has done so in Dunedin; and to the Hon, Auditor.

QUETTA CENTRE. Form ed 1901.

ANNU AL REPORT. THE Madras Centre-i.e. , that of the South I Utlia branch of the 'to John Ambulance Association-was only inaugurated in April, 1901, after a meeting at the Banqueting Hall, under the presidency of H.E. Lord Ampthill, Governor of Madras. A committee of management was appointed, and since then fOllr classes ill first aid -viz., two for men and two for women- have been ll eld wilh very satisfactory results. The movement is at present in it~ elllbryonic stage, but is making steady progress, especially with the railway companies, and in the Mofussil dislricts where centres are being formed. The formation of thcse centres is also greatly facilitated by the recent ruling of ViscounL Ellutsford and the Central Executlve Committee contained in the Chief Secretary's letter, daterl ,ejltembcr 5th, 1901, as regards the qualifications of lecturers to the Association in Inuia. There is now every prospect of the work of the Association rapidly spreading all over 'Hlthern I nuia.

ANNUAL REPORT.

AT the l'cque!:lt of lajor A . C. Yate a meeting ,vas heW on April 22nd of those interested in the As oeiation, at which it was resolved that a centre should be estaLbhed at Qlletta. On May 28th Lt.-Col. Battersby d elivered an interesting preliminary lecture to a large and represen tative audience. Lieut. Lowson instructed a clnss of native :soldiers and lJolice, and aLa a ladies' class, and Capt. N ovis a cIa s composed of Vohlllteers and persons connected with the N .·W .Railway. These officers kindly gave their services gratis althongh their professional duties left them little leisure. The troops were instructed in ambulance duties by their own mr::dical officers, but there ,\'Us no one availabJe to lecture to them in accordance with the rules of the .Association. The laLlies class 'Tas not examined for certificates as most of them had left for the hills before an examination could be arranged. The winter months at Quetta are mOl e favourable than the summer and autumn for holding classes, and it is intended to holll flesh classes in November when it is hoped t hat more progress will be maLle. It must, however, be borne in mind that in Ql1etta there is no leisure class and recruits have to be obtained from tberanks of those whose

reports rendered by the Deputy Commissioners of Districts show that the work of th l3 Brigade is being carried out with increased activity and efficiency. 'W ith v ery few exceptions the Oorps and Divisions already established have continued to. prosper, and the many ne,,:lyformed units have commenced work WIth a far better understandmg of the real objects aud duties of the Brigade than was formerly the case. Although there has been a marked advance all round in the matter of compliance with the regulations regarding the efficiency of members, there is still much room for improvement in this respect. The importance of insisting on the personal efficiency of every individual member, as defined in the regulations, is apparently not always recognised, especially in some of the older units, and many men are still allowed to retain membership who are not entitled to be considered efficient under the regulations, although they may be presumed to be still capable of rendering first aid. Still there are unmistakable signs that officers in charge of units are becoming more alive to the fact that it is better for the Brigade, and more honest towards the public, to have a few well instructed, well drilled, and well disciplined men who may be relied on to turn out for duty when required tlian to show a large number on paper who cannot be said to possess those qllalifica~ions or to show any particular eagerness to do duty in 1mblic. Accordingly it is gratifying to note that useless members of all l'ii.nks are gradually but surely being eliminated, and during the past year a good number of officers, both medical and ambulance, have been called upon to resign, and a large number of the rank and file dismissed from the Brigade, owing to persistent non-compliance with the regulations as to efficiency. The periodical returns required to be made by Oorps and Divisions are now rendered with much more regularity than in past years, some Districts being markedly less observant of rules in this respect than others, and comparatively few cases of "election" of officers and others without the knowledge of the respective Deputy Oommissioners now occur, and those only ill one or two Districts. Still there is much roo~ for improvement in the matter of rendering the periodical returns l'eqUlred by regulation, and in making out the forms of application for

THE

)

240 the appointment of officers and oth.ers, ~nd officers in ch~rge of Corps and Divisions will do well to bear III mmd that any claIms they may prefer for distinction, such as the Service Medal, will be judged not merely by the bare attendances that they ~ay. be able ~o record at drill, annual inspection, and annual re-exammatIOn, but WIt~ reference also to the punctuality with which they render the officIal returns called for and the care with which those returns are made out. At the'beCTinninCT b I:> of the •year a revision of the General H.egulations was issued, e~bodying all the Brigade ~rders ?f. permanent effect that had been published up to date. A revIsed edI~Ion of the Explanatory Instructions which are necessary for the gUIdance of persons who contemplate' forming new Divisions, was also issu~d at the same ti~e, and it may fairly be considered that the regulatIOns for the routIne administration of the Brigade are now as complete. as they can be made under present conditions. A revision of t~le. DrIll Manual has been ready for publication for many months, and It I~ much ne~ded for new!y formed Divisions' but as it is understood that certam changes III elementary foot d;ill, which mayor may not be improvements on the present system, are contemplated. in the army, it has been thought inadvisable to publish th~ work wlllc~ has be~n prel?ared f?r th~ use of the Brigade. As the DrIll Manual hItherto 111 use IS obSOlete III every respect, the elementary recruit and squad drill re9.uired has to ?e taught from the Infantry Drill book at present used ~n the army, whIle the stretcher drill is carried out in strict accordance WIth the Manual for the Royal Army Medical Corps. . The most important addition to the General RegulatIOns of 1902 was a rule that in future all Divisions and Corps must adopt the printed Rules issu€\d by authority. This was absolutely necessary owing to the impossibility of sanc~ioning m~ny of the proposed ru}es that were submitted from time to tIme, especIally by newly-formed umts, the members of which had no knowledge whatever of the regulations and rontine of the BriCTade; in addition to which a good deal of disappointment was nat~rally felt when sanction could not be given to impossible rules which were directly opposed to the General ReCTulations, and the necessity of explaining the reason why these fancy rul~s could not be allowed frequently entailed interminable correspondence from head-quarters. . The revision and correction of the Annual Reports of the varIOUS Di visions and Corps, especially those rendered from some Districts, have again given much trouble at head-quarters. In many cas~s the reports were absolutely unintelligible and the fignres rnamfestly incorrect. .Many units, as may be seen from the following pages, have not furnished reports at all, and some have only done so after repeated application, four or five months after the date on which they were due. In future greater punctuality and more care in the preparation of th~se Reports will have to be observed by many officers in charge of umts, if they desire that their service shall count as efficient service. . The supply of men as Hospital Orderlies for service in South. AfrIca continued without interruption) and without the slightest hItch or

241

failure until the issue of Special Army Order of 11 th March, 1901 (subsequently Army Order No. 86), the wording of which so effectually damped the enthusiasm of the officer~ and men of the Brigade that but few have since volunteered for serVICe. Up to the date of the Army Order referred to, the Brigade had supplied 1,934 men, including 50 men specially enrolled for service in the South African Constabulary, and it would have continued to supply as many men as might have been required) however long the war might have lasted. Since the Army Order came into operation, and the special inducement to throw all their energies into the work of keeping up the prestige of the BriCTade by furnishing all the auxiliary hospital orderlies required w~s taken away from officers and men) ~unly 112 have joined the ranks of the Royal Army Medical Corps with permission, thus brinCTing up the total who have served as Brigade men in South Africa (anla few of them in China also) to 2,046. A few men, the number of whom beyond 60 cannot be ascertained, have enlisted without permission, including some who would not have been selected by their own officers. It speaks well for the care with which volunteers from the Brigade were as a rule selected and examined by their medical officers, that the percentage of deaths from disease in South Africa was comparatively low) bu t it is r egretted that, according to official reports received, 62 men of the Brigade succumbed to disease contracted in the perforruancA of their noble work. In addition to these it is believed that 3 men have died in the service of the South African Oonstabulary. Nearly all the war medals due to men of the Brigade who served directly under the 'Var Office have been received from the military authorities and issued, but men who were attached to some of the private hospitals, such as the JJIaine and Imperial Yeomanry Hospital, have not yet received their medals, owing probably to the fact that they have not been sent to the Chief Commissioner for distribution, but to the Oommittees of the several hospitals. Every effort is, however, being made to secure the early distribution of these medals. The correspondence connected with the pay of men who have served in South Africa has been very trou blesome. Every possible help in obtaining the arrears of pay supposed to be ,due to them has been given, whether they have left the Brigade or not, but it is difficult for them and for their friends to understand that the Brigade has nothing whatever to do with tbeir pay, and that the Chief Commissioner can only give them advice as to the steps they should take in order t(1 secure any arrears that they may consider to be due to them. Much corr~spondenc e has also been necessitated by requests received from medIcal and pay officers in South Africa to recover sums of money found to be due from men after they have been settled up with. The following men of the Brigade have been mentioned in despatches as having rendered special and meritorious service :-Sergt. \V. ,y. Foulkes (Redruth Div.), No. II. District; Sergt. C. Eccles (Preston Oorps), Se~gt. F. H. Oldham (Crewe Division), Pte. B. B. Banks (Kendal DIv.), Pte. ,V. Rogerson (Preston Corps), No. IV. District;

242

Pte. A. England (Tibshelf Corps), Pte. A ..Ke~v (Leeds Corps), Pte. E. H. G. 'Vinyard (Sheffield Corps), No. V. Dlstnct. ~Pte. E. H. G. 'Vinyard has also been awarded the Medal for Distinguished Conduct in the Fie~d. .. .. . His J\Iajesty the King has gracIously sIgnIfied IllS mtentlOn to present war medals personally to a number of men selected from each of the Districts. It is not pleasant to have to record that the sergeants who contracted with the Colonial Office to serve for a term of years as ambulance seraeants in the South African Constabulary were arbitrarily reduced to ~ lower rank on arrival in South Africa, on the ground that they were not qualified compounders of medicine. The matter was duly represented to the Col?nial Office some n:onths ago, but .the ~en do not appear to have receIved a~y (;ompensatIOn or otl!er sa~sfactloI:. The St. J ohn Ambulan~e Brlgade War Fund, of whIch H ..r". H. Pnncess Christian was president., and the Viscountess Knutsford was chairman, has durin a the war expended the sum of £951 for the purchase of comforts f~r the men on service, besides contributing large quantities of material in kind, and all ranks of the Brigade have thoroughly appreciated the kindness of the members of the co~mi.ttee and of the subscribers who so liberally supported the fund, whICh IS now closed. Four of the "Bearer Companies (St. John Ambulance Brigade)," which are being provided for service in case of mobilization of the forces for home defence, have been officially inspected and handed over to the War Office. These have been furnished by the Bolton, Preston, Sheffield, and Oldham Corps respectively. A fifth will shortly be furnished by the Accrington Corps. It is to be regretted that neither the Metropolitan nor the Northampton Corps has as yet been able to provide a company as was originally intended. It i.s to be hope.d that the military authorities will see their way to acceptmg the serVICes of the Honorary Surgeons of the Brigade as officers for these Compan.ies in case of mobilization, always supposing tha.t there are medIcal gentlemen in the Brigade who poss~s.s the necessary qual~fi.cations as .to military command and are in a posItIOn to undertake to Jom for serVIce in any part of the united kingdom at a few hours' notice should mobilization be ordered. A scheme for the employment of men of the Brigade as Auxiliary Sick Berth A ttendants in ships afloat and in land hospitals in case of war bas for some time been under the consideration of the Admiralty. A gratifying feature in the administration of the Brigade is the increase of units in the British Dominions beyond the seas, and t.he desire shown by most of these to maintain close touch with the parent Brigade. It is hoped that Annual Reports from some of these Corps and Divisions will be received in time for publication in future. At the Royal Agricultural Show, held at Cardiff, the usual ambulance service was supplied by the Brigade, a small detachment from. he~,d quarters being supplemented by officers and men of No. II. DIstnct, chiefly from the Bristol Corps. Eight-four casualties were treated. Many visits to provincial Corps and Divisions have been made during the year, and in all cases with satisfactory results. On the 1] th May the

243

Bristol Division, a comparatively young but well-organized unit, was inspected an~. f?l'med in~o a corps. The..combined N.E. ~ancashire Corps and DI:'lSI?nS .were. mspected on the 22nd J ur~e, ~nd a full account of the inspectIOn IS glvenm the report for No. IV. DIstnct. On the 17th September 1901, the Northampton Corps was inspected. 174 of all ranks were on p~rade and the condition of this fine Corps was found to be very satisfactory. The Metropolitan Corps was inspected on the ~3rd November, 1901, when 494 of all ranks were on parade. In the competition for the Dewar Shield and the Symons Eccles Cup which was held in London on the 9th May, the first place was taken by a team frc:m East Ham, Metropolit~n Co'rps, ~eams from vVellingborough, Bnerfield, Sheffield. and ChIchester bemg placed second, third, fourth and fifth respectIvely. The Symons Eccles Cup was won by a team of the \Vellingborough Corps. A conference of officers was held at Hull on the 12th and 13th July when interesting papers were read by Chief Surgeon Sam. Osborn (Loddon), and Hon. Surgeon L. Molloy (Blackpool). It is to be regretted that the conference was not well at~ended: The approximate total strength of the BrIgade m England, 'Vales, and Ireland at the end of the past year was 9669 medical and ambulance officers and men, and 1835 nursing officers and nursing sisters. The Deputy Commissioners and their Staff Officers have throughout the year rendered invaluable service in their respective Districts, and all continue to gi,oe me every assistance in seeing that the regulations are observed. My especial acknowledgments are due to Deputy Commissioner Inspector-General B. Ninnis, who for several months carried on the routine work at head-quarters during my enforced absence from England.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY COnHl! SIONER. HEAD-QUARTERS, ST, JOHN'S GATE, CLERKEXIVELL.

1st Octob'!l', 1900. I,

SIR, I have the honour to report for your information that the general state of the Metropolitan Corps, No. I. Di trict, during the past year has been highly satisfactory, and will bear very favouraule compari on with its condition at any previous period , One Hew Division has been formed, and one Division disbandeJ, and one is in abeyance; but I trust that the last will resume working at no very distant date. The Annual Divisional In pecLions were with fe\\" exceptions very sati factory, and I am informed by the Chief Surgeon that the re-examina.tions were quite up to the average. The number of officers, men, andnUl'sing sisters on public street duty during the period comprised in the report has been very large: for instance on the returtl of the C. L V., 362 of all ranks were on duty, rendering first aid and as i tance to 1,124 casualties. On the return of Lord Roberts, 212 members of all ranks were on duty, and attended to 6 casual tie , At the Funeral of Her Late Maje ty Queen Yictoria, upwards of 700 of all ranks were on duty, and attended to 1,305 ca ualties, In adJition to the e, the usual public street dnty and duty on open spaces have been carried out with the best results to the public. A . ~e.tachJ11ent has likewise been in (bily attendance at the Earl's Court Exlllblhon since May, and has contiuued to perform its duties up to the present date . . The very satiflfactory state of the secretarial depa.rtment of the Metropolitan Corps I S .d~l~ to the ahle and self-uenying services of some of the members of the Cyclist Dl~lslOn, under the superintendence of uperintendent Pontin of that unit, and for whICh I take this opportunity of tendering him and them my thanks, It is Hot too much to say that, without tbeir assistance the larrre and increa LnO' \,ork of that department conld not be carried on. 0 0 Tabular statements of detail III connection with the personnel, matel ial, and routine, accompany this report. I have the honour to he, ",iI', Your obeuient ervant, BELGRAVE NI~Nl, ,

To the Chief Commissioner St. J ohn Ambul a~ce Brigade.

The drill and parade work still leaves lIl11ch to he c1e~irc(l , appearing to interest the Division less than the more pmctical part of first airl. The goo!l atteJl(lance average. hown above, proves that the illLel'est has been well snstained tlll'Ollghout the year. The best evidence of the SUCl'CSS of the work clone i ' seen in tlIp position taken by the Division in the various cOlllJlPtitions: viz .. 2ml in the .M assf'y-Mainwaring; :3rd in the Dewar (I o. I Dist., prelililinary); alld Willl1erS in the initial c011test for the Osborn Shield . These results han lwen attainerlnot ll'y sacrificing the efficiency of the Division as a whole to secure a strong team for competition purpo .. es, but ra,thcr by encouraginCf every member to strive for a place in aile or other of the teams. 0 Public duty has been undertaken at Earl's Court and on other occa ions, as notably at the Funeral of Qneen \ Tictoria, lmt the small number at present in nniform makes it illlpos~ible for the Divi ion to do much in thi respect. In the factory of Sir Joseph Oauston & .' ons, Limited, however, llluch valuahle \York has been done, which has more than once heen cummended by the various hospital authorities.
