THE STATESMAN-
HOSPITAL WORK
IN NEW YORK
Brief Bits of History Connected
With Its Progress.
STARTED MANY YEARS AGO.
Institution Now Known as Lincoln
Hospital Was Originally Estab <shed
Under Title of Society For the Sup
port of the Colored Home— Purpose
of the Founders Explained.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
The colored home in New York city
now known as the Lincoln hospital was
originally established or incorporated
by the legislature under the title of
"the Society For the Support of the
Colored Home.” A petition presented
to the legislature for the repeal of cer
tain acts passed March 11, 1831* and
May 2G, 1841, which appropriated $10,-
000 for a state hospital in the city of
New York, asking a transfer of the
money therein named to the colored
home. These acts were repealed and a
new act framed.
The money was transferred to the
managers of the colored home to be ap
plied to the erection of a permanent
building on the real estate belonging to
the said home in the city of New York
for the relief and support of disabled
colored strilors and other infirm and
destitute colored people, in 1848 the
society purchased forty-four lots of
ground lying on Sixty-fifth street be
tween Avenue A and First avenue,
upon which the managers erected a
suitable building It consisted of two
distinct divisions or wings for the mc
commodation of males and females,
each 100 by feet, separated !■> a
ground plot of Iini feet, tin* whole
forming an open square.
At tin* first in. cling in 1X39 after the
adoption of the constitution twelve in
dividuals were proposed atld rt*c«
ns objects worthy of relief I»>:
1847 the statistics show that the
tution had »an*d for nearly l.ooo >*r
sons, a large proportion of whom were
from the almshouse The colored home
originated in tin* liberality of oneChri.-
tInii lady, a Miss .lay by name, who
was the daughter of the distinguished
and venerable John .lay, who sub
scribed the first $1,000 to the home,
which was fit rued over to a committee
of ladies who met at the residence of
her sister. Mrs. Marin Bnnyor. during
the autumn of 1839.
The sum appropriated was espe< ially
designed for the relief of the sick and
respectable colored aged. It is snffl. de
spite the fact that this colored home,
now the Lincoln hospital, was original
ly set apart for the use and benefit of
the colored people, that, while there are
colored trained nurses on Its staff, not
n single colored physician out of the
dozens or more competent medical men
in Greater New York is a member of
the medical staff of the hospital Sure
ly the original promoters of the hos
pital could not have intended that this
condition should exist.
They must have foreseen that at some
time in the future tlie race would have
Its own physicians when they rave the
colored race the nucleus for a great
hospital in which to train its own men
for the care of the people of their own
race. Colored medical students have
little if any opportunity to study and
observe the progress of disease* in the
great hospitals of New York city
Would It not be a good thing for Lin
coln hospital to invite some of the lead
ing colored physicians in New York
city to co-operate with its present med
ical stalT in the treatment of colored
patients anti to open Its doors to col
ored medical students who art.* study
ing in the various medical colleges?
REMEMBER THE CHILDREN.
Dr. Washington Issues Annual Christ
mas Appeal In Their Behalf.
In- Hooker T. Washington has issued
hi* U'oml appeal for Christmas tokens
fur the children in the rural districts in
the vicinity of Tuskegee hr Wash
ington says:
During Hie past fifteen or sixteen
years it has been my privilege to re
reive and to distribute Christmas pres
ents in the way of eards. hooks, off.,
among tin* very poor colored children,
especially those living in the planta
tion districts of the southern nth tea.
During these years happiness hns
l>een carried to the hornet* and hearts
•jf thousands of children who other
wise would have had little or nothing
to remind them of the Christinas sea
son For the most/part these presents
hare ht- Ji distributed through colored
teachers in the rural districts of the
south.
I shall be very glad to serve again,
as in other years, as the medium for
distributing such prosfmts as friends
may bo kind enough to send Any
thing addressed to me will he promptly
sent to those where the most good will
be accomplished
