Atwood and the late Reverend Bertrand R. Cocks were the men .responsible for establishment of this hospital in December 1907. Bishop Atwood’s words, spoken at the dedication of the infirmary in 1911 reflect the spirit of these Episcopal ministers:When it (St. Luke’s) was first organized it was our wish to found not simply a sanitarium but a home for some of the innumerable health-seekers who in sickness and privation seek the hospitality of this vitalizing and re-generating climate.“We desire to throw the atmosphere of a Christian home about those who have sought our hospitality believing that we are best following the example of our Master who cared both for the body and souls of men. The former can be done by any sanatorium but only a Christian hospital can do the latter.WHILE UNDER the auspices of the Episcopal Church the work has been entirely unsectarian in its character and we have cared literally for Roman and Protestant, for Jew and agnostic alike, for men of every creed and. no creed at all.”The late president Theodore Roosevelt, who was in Phoenix on his trip West to dedicate Roosevelt Dam, included the dedication of St. Luke's in his crowded schedule because of his personal friendship for Bishop Atwood.He said in part, ... I think, Bishop, that more and more in recent years we have seen the Christian churches begin to play a greater part ... in our social life, because more and more they are actually living up to their precepts. By their fruits shall ye know them.Seeing this work as I do, Bishop. I not only want to ask for it all possible support but to suggest the kind of work we should do ...“I hope our gratitude to those who have contributed and made these things possible will not vanish in a fine glow of appreciation of what others have done, but hope through our work that we will help to make this a finerof cardio-respiratory care andring a real need in the community and will be able to adapt its facilities more and more to these cases in the foreseeable future when it is hoped that fewer beds will be needed for tuberculosis patients.To state it more simply, St' Luke’s program for the future takes into account two basic problems. One—that tuberculosis is a disease that can be stamped out only if those now infected can be isolated and treated. However, with only one hospital bed available for every three persons known to have tuberculosis in Maricopa County it is readily apparent that many more beds must be provided before existing laws requiring the isolation of persons with communicable disease (in this case tuberculosis) can be enforced.Two—if present facilities are increased to take care of the immediate emergency of ridding our state of tuberculosis, a program must be established which will utilize these facilities later when tuberculosis no longer is the problem which it is today.Dr. Herman Smith, nationally known hospital consultant, .the medical staff, and the* board of trustees of St. Luke’s worked together-to plan the present diversification program.mi ryl 1 a i tl_ The original St. Luke’s infirmary, above, was dedi-Ine Ula And ine INeW catecj jn 1911 it is still in use, hut has been enlarged and remodeled through the years, as shown in the lower picture.

We’re building up frustrations within his childish mind, according to the psychologists.When he takes his baseball and bat out to the front yard and starts banging the thing all over»1of a hot rod driver without due regard to his own safety or the safety of anyone else on the road. In more ways than one, we’re glad he isn’t old enough to drive a car.There is an even chance, in the next few years, that the freedom of choice school may win out.WE MAY COME to the conclusion that if our son wants to follow the dictates of his heart, and go to the movies when he wants to, and puts off taking a bath for a week or two, or wants to stay outdoors playing until 10 p.m. every night, that we're not going to frustrate him any more. If he becomes peeved because we refuse him anything, we will know definitely and irrevocably that we are attempting to stifle his initiative.Far be it from us to hang a chain around our son’s spirits.Pioneer PlansTo ReforestWasted LandASC(SevenArtWSeven new American art thews Library College at Ten by the same ar has given the large coilectiorFive of the j examples of 1! to a semiabsi last vear.

Todd said. All the rest he hopes to cover with pines.The convert to reforestation saidthe days of trees more than 100 feet high won't come back unless men restore what they have wasted. Before he dies, Todd said, he is determined to do his part.T don't, exnect to ever benefitTree.'Knaths's pc “Head of a Yo in 1951.
