than the instant forfeiture of all claim to the eventual pension? If so, it should. Could this power be extended to the washerwomen who would probably be sent with the Nurses ordered to War or out-of-the-way foreign stations? Perhaps it will simplify things not to include them in the Regulations. [Sidenote: Hospital Laundries.] The persons provided by the Officer, whoever he may be, to attend to the hospital linen under the orders of the Matron, will be pretty sure to give the Matron trouble. But it is much better to begin very modestly, and to avoid alarming the Attendance Department; and so to be content with the people provided in the linen store, and not at all to invade the regions of the kitchen. By degrees, please God the work prospers, it may be extended. I fear a laundry of men, except in war-service, will be a costly and inefficient concern. Yet a laundry of women, exempt from the control of the Matron, would be probably the worse evil of the two. And it is both right and expedient to move very slowly, and to begin with the nursing service alone. Ultimately, if we invade both laundry and kitchen, I should still wish, in both, to have as few women as possible. The fewer women are about an Army Hospital the better.

In considering the Pavilion Plan to be in future received as the sanitary necessity for Hospital construction, we must look upon it as susceptible of many modifications. And, particularly in adapting it for a Military Hospital, we must ask by what modification can it be made, 1. Most economical as to attendance, a greater amount of which is rendered necessary than by other plans of construction. 2. Easy as to supervision; and, of course, a Hospital spread over the extent of space now proved to be essential by sanitary knowledge, whether built on the Pavilion plan or not, must multiply the amount of supervision over that required in the concentrated over-crowding of the old Hospital system (over-crowding not with regard to cubic space in the wards, but to the superficial area on the ground).
