PEE AelSsrI@SPIPALS PAST “AND PRESENT Si) f HEN THE WATTS HOSPITAL and its School of Nursing this year 4R) celebrate their forty-third anniversary, one may know that as an 9 Organization, it has proven itself invaluable both to the people Ly of Durham and to numerous others. It has accomplished the purpose for which its founder, Mr. George Washington Watts, intended it to be used—“‘for the people of the City and County of Durham.” Although the original hospital was very small, it rated high in the quality of work which it produced. Soon it outgrew its bed-capacity, and the ne w hospital building was presented to the people of Durham on December 2, 1909. These are the beautiful hospital buildings of today. The lovely old Spanish mission style with the red tile roof marks a cheerful spot for the care of hospital patients. The interior is light and airy—giving a wholesome atmos- phere to the place. It is equipped with many modern hospital facilities. Because of its superior administration and its high type of nursing care, the Watts Hospital today has an “A” classification among institutions of this type. As the hospital expanded, its school of nursing showed a corresponding progressive growth. A long parade of intelligent and efficient nurses has entered and graduated from this school since the first class of 1897. Wherever skilled nurses are required, the Watts graduates have found work, success, and happiness. Today, the Watts Hospital and its School of Nursing have attained a high degree of efficiency under the administration of Mr. Sample B. Forbus as Superintendent of the Hospital and Miss Bessie Jones as Superintendent of the School of Nursing. The new high type of nursing education has presented us with an increas- ingly higher type of young womanhood. May each young person who gives herself to this work, regard it as a sa cred trust and enjoy the task she has to do. To each of you we stress loyalty—to your hospital and School of Nursing, to your friends and co-workers, to the staff doctors, to your patients, and last, but not least, to yourself. Watts Hospital is now on the brink of a glorious future. May it always bring a feeling of pride and a host of pleasant memories to those who love it. PAG HD
