HOSPITAL ECONOMIES.
Sir,—No one in the Dominion can say definitely in these days that they'will not find themselves in hospital through some cause or other, and now even hospitals are not exempt from being short of finance" to carry on their good work, so necessary in the age in which-we live. I -wish to make a suggestion that a collecting fund be organised on the lines of tile Hospital Saturday Fund so successful in the Old Country, where most hospitals are carried on by voluntary contributions. There nearly all businesses, factories, etc., collect a penny a week from' the junior, to the head of the business. The collector is generally a junior, so that there is no great loss of time. Collections are m<jide on sheets for 13 weeks> md at the end of the period the amount so collected is sent into the funds of the hospitals, Such a fund would augment the necessary requirements of our hospitals, and some concession could bo made to subscribers in the shape of a 10 per cent, cut on fees charged. Pro Bono Publico.
