COME TOTHE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WILMINGTON HOSPITAL HEAD TO BE SPEAKER MAN WHO BUILT AND MAINTAINED JAP INSTITUTION TO BE AT CONVENTION Dr. Rudolph Teusler, Director of St. Luke's International Hospital, Tokyo, will address the 55th annual convention of the Diocese of Southern Ohio at the Alms Hotel, Cincinnati, January 29. Dr.

Teusler founded St. Luke's in 1902, developed it during a quarter-century of growth and widening influence, brought it through the greatest earthquake and fire of modern times; saw it wiped out again by fire, rebuilt it again, and still with undaunted spirit shoulders the chief burden of completing it as a modern medical center for international service. As an appreciation of what the hospital had done for his people, the late Japanese Emperor made a gift of $25,000. After the great earthquake and fire of five years ago, the Japanese government and the business men of Tokyo gave approximately $100,000 in cash and $100,000 in lumber. Today the Episcopal Church of the United States is raising $2,656,500 for new buildings for this hospital.

In addition to this sum, the Rockefeller Foundation has granted St. Luke's 000 for endowment for the Training School for Nurses. In inaugurating and developing college of nursing, in accordance with American standards, the hospital is making the greatest single contribution in promoting clinical medicine and public health in the Japanese Empire. The hospital is conducting demonstration of a thoroughly modern health program through maintenance of pre-natal and postnatal clinics, baby clinics, clinics, welfare stations, industrial clinics and a visiting nurse service. By the provision of efficient service for charity, part-pay and vate patients, such as is given leading institutions in America, Luke's furnishes for Japan the ample of a strictly modern hospital.

St. Luke's serves as a clearinghouse equipped both to transmit the Orient the latest western medical discoveries and similarly give to the Occident the rapidly accumulating mass of important data collected by Japanese scientific men, which hitherto has largely withheld from the west the barrier of language. As St. Luke's wins confidence everywhere, increasing friendliness toward America is entertained the Japanese and a great forward impulse is given to the cause Christianity. To be wholly effective, it is essential that a thoroughly modern plant be equipped.
