![have been delivered in their homes, have received excellent nursing care and attention. Such nursing service has been possible through the efforts of the Nursing Department of the New York Hospital, the Maternity Center Association and the Henry Street Settlement Nursing Service. The staff of the Berwind Free Maternity Clinic with the support of Mrs. John E. Berwind and under the direction of Miss Mary C. Skelley, has given us unusual cooperation in a large home delivery service conducted on the upper East side of Manhattan. We wish to express our appreciation of the excellent work of our Anaesthetists, Social Service workers, Clinic Aids and Ad¬ mitting Officers. The Department of Nutrition of New York Hospital has served our patients with complete satisfaction. It has also been most valuable in the solution of many dietary problems associated with the proper care of maternity patients. The other clinical and laboratory departments have continued in their cooperation with this clinic. We are indebted to the Department of Pediatrics for the care given to the babies born in the Lying-In Hospital. This work, initiated by Dr. Oscar M. Schloss, has been carried on under the direction of Dr. Samuel Z. Levine, acting Pediatrician-in-Chief to the New York Hospital. The Department of Medicine has continued its assis¬ tance in our special Cardiac Clinic for maternity patients. Dr. Eugene F. DuBois, Physician-in-Chief to the New York Hospi¬ tal, and his assistants have been invaluable in their consulta¬ tions and advice in our patients with medical complications. The Departments of Psychiatry and Surgery have helped this department in many phases of its work. The teaching schedule in the Lying-In Hospital has increased during the past year. The educational activities may be divided under six headings: undergraduate instruction in all phases of obstetrics and gynecology to Cornell Medical students; instruc¬ tion in this branch of Medicine to New York Hospital nurses; practical instruction to a resident staff of 20 graduates in medi¬ cine; an observation course of one month to post graduate students; summer teaching in obstetrics to 32 undergraduate [9]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31710979_0013.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
