child, not even one Nurse to each Sick Ward.
Could it be that the School sick children might
be sent to the Sick Asylum of their
District? as e.g. the St. Pancras' etc.
children to the "Central London Sick Asylum"
(Highgate Infirmary) -
As this suggestion may be quite
impracticable in Guardians' eyes, I will
and I know that we, at Highgate Infirmary, are just as full as we can hold,
better say no more at present.
The present School Infirmary wards
combine all Hospital disadvantages, all
School disadvantages, all home disadvantages,
without the advantages of any: do not they?
