![Miss Yerda Hickcox for the last four months of the year, we are indebted for nursing care of a very high order. This is reflected in the low maternal morbidity rate for the whole year. The nursing care in a maternity hospital is of the utmost importance and plays a major role in our constant fight to reduce maternal mortality. Any encouraging results that we may have been able to show in this respect are in large measure due to the efficient cooperation received from the members of our nursing staff. Reports by Dr. James A. Harrar, Chief Surgeon, and Miss Lila J. Napier, Directress of Nurses, covering the first seven and one- half months of 1932, will be found in the next several pages. Following these are the reports for the remaining period of the year. I cannot refrain from expressing to the members of my staff, both attending and house officers, my appreciation of their whole-hearted cooperation in this period of readjustment. Changes incident to the opening of the new hospital called for many sacrifices and these were, in ail instances, willingly made. H. J. STANDER, M. D. Obstetrician and Gynecologist-In-Chief.
