The iron beds and bedside tables mentioned in last

supplies was received from Westfield, N.J., and
also six all-wool blankets. A dozen blankets are
on the way from South Holland. Mr. Rosenthal,
in his last visit to the hospital, was grieved to see
patients sleeping on beds without sheets, and asked
us to make a list of needed linens that he might
supply. A recent gift of $100 has made it possible
for us to have new cement floors in our dispensary
rooms, and we are adding furniture and equipment
from time to time with an eye toward using it in
the new hospital in the near future.
In every department of the work we feel the
restraint of cramped space and limited equipment.
We feel that the Women’s Work in Bahrein has
reached the stage where institutional work must be
developed. It is no longer the pioneer work that
it was ten years ago, and the needs that were
pointed out last year are still here, greater than
ever before.
