FOSTERING IMPROVIDENCE.
TO THE EDITOE.
! Sib, —Many thanks for your article in Friday's Times on the vicious nature of the present charitable aid system. To my mind, a large leakage is in our present hospital system, which I know to be greatly abased both in the in and the oat-patient departments. Reform, I admit, in difficult; but it is neither impossible nor impracticable if the trustees will ouly firmly do their duty to the ratepayers and keep the hospital as it was ordained—for the really poor and the truly necessitous and indigent sufferers. I submit that in these days of friendly societies only such (with rare exceptions) should be admitted. ' A few prosecutions of those who meanly take a wrong advantage of its shelter, and the less careless signing of order papers by some cf the truatees, would achieve much.—l am, &c, March 17. Anothbb Taxpayer.
