In this connection, it might be said that a mistake which is made in many government institutions, and one which is not made by the most successful business men, is to attempt to start on economy at a place where one can least afford to economize, that is in the pay and allowances of the personnel immediately responsible for the management of the institution, the responsible heads of departments, etc. In other words, we are not always willing to pay for brains, a price commensurate with the business responsibility involved. Again when we have been fortunate enough to secure the right man the right place, we do not always recognize his value by paying him a price commensurate with the value of his work. Furthermore, when we have made the mistake of getting the wrong man, who in reality is receiving a greater compensation than his services are worth, and one who, in reality, is a very expensive employee, we oftentimes make the mistake of not recognizing inefficiency and promptly correcting it, In case there is any decided handicap along the lines of inefficiency in the responsible personnel in the administrative, utility, service or professional departments, it should be promptly corrected, as it is to those in such petitions to whom we constantly look to be on the alert in recognizing the short comings of all subordinate personnel. In visiting our own or other hospitals we promptly recognize the presence or absence of evidence of the proper vigilance or efficiency in every department. In case of a tour of inspection of one of these institutions there should be found spurting steam valves, leaking water faucets, extravagant use of electric lights, overheated buildings, garbage and swill tanks running over with waste food supplies, evidence of lack of organization and co-operation on the part of the personnel, professional or otherwise, we should immediately recognize the fact that there was inefficiency existing in the personnel of such an institution, and as a result of this, a decided lack of economical and efficient administration. Finding such conditions in other departments, we should expect to find unsatisfactory conditions when the patient population was reached. We should expect to find histories poorly written or not written at all, patients waiting over-time for special examinations or special treatments, lack of accurate laboratory and X-ray records, etc. The matter of such inefficiency and consequent poor administration on the part of the personnel in any institution would naturally lead to great dissatisfaction on the part of the patients of such an institution and to the greatest lack of economy on the part of the administration, of the hospital.
