was
the
size
of
the
attend-d
this
was
indeed
a
feature.
There
were
no
lesf
I
than
399
persons
present.
All
were
members
of
the
Assoc-'
iation,
only
these
being
admitted.
The
business
itself
was
of
an
entirely
perfunctory
ana
routine
nature.
Nothing
but
the
merest
formalities
of
the
annual
meeting
was
done
and
the
size
of
the
crowd
slowed
up
the
proceed
ings,
particularly
the
counting
oi
the
votes
In
the
election
of
the
1938
board.
There
were
sixteen
nominations
for
the
five
seats.
The
1937
board
was
re-elected
In

G.
P.
Tinker,
president
of
the
1937

was
In
the
chair.
He
construed
the
large
attendance
as
an
encouraging
sign
of
the
interest
being
taken
in
hospital
affairs.
It
was
certainly
a
contrast
to
previous
years
when
often
it
had
been
difficult
to
obtain
a
