9 In addition to these, fifteen cases have been referred to the C.O.S. for friendly visits to be paid to the homes, to enable a report as to the condition of things to be made to the doctor, and to advise generally. These visits have been an experiment on the part of the C.O.S., and promise much help to the work if continued. The following is a list of institutions and agencies which have, in co-operation generally with the Samaritan Fund, rendered assistance to patients referred to them:— Clergy 18 Hospital Sunday and Saturday Funds 11 Special Convalescent Homes 9 Special Hospitals and Institutions 13 Employers 2 Metropolitan Association for Befriending Young Servants 7 Rescue and Reformatory Union 2 Metropolitan Nurses 2 Salvation and Church Armies 3 German Benevolent Society 1 Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Association 1 Invalid Children's Aid Association 2 School Board Managers 2 Of thirty-six patients assisted by the Samaritan Fund, ten repaid the entire cost of their appliances and sixteen repaid part, while in ten cases the appliances had to be given entirely by the Samaritan Fund. Only seven families are noted as having joined the P.M.A., but, as these are all from amongst the cases referred in June and July last, there is hope that some of those referred later in the year may yet join. In spite of the efforts made to ensure the attendance of a parent or an adult, many children still come to the hospital alone. It has been suggested that a printed slip to the effect that it was important that parents should accompany their children to receive the doctor's instructions, and that it was undesirable that children should be entrusted with poisonous drugs, would carry weight in this matter if sent to the parents. The Almoner is glad to be able to report her full staff of volunteer helpers in the office. With the permission of the Board the work was carried on by these volunteers during the last ten days of July, thus enabling the Almoner to get a six weeks' holiday, which was greatly appreciated. January 6, 1902.
