REPORT OF THEBOARE D OF MAAERS .OF hE fNATIONAL HOME 0FODISABLED VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDEDJUN 1928 ____ -__-

To the ole the Senate and House of Representatives of the (CJongresaof the DUnited States+:Vf .- . 0SThe Boardof Man , NationalHoe for Disabled 'Volunt

Soldiers, in obedience to ilaw, resents the followingg:re 6 o theinstitutok under its charg for t year ending June 30, 1928.Maj. Paul E. Divine, , was appointed a membere f

the '- Boarid ':;of Managers to succeed Maj. James W. Wadsworth, ofNew York,

The: affairs of the hmhave bamfiisteed in accordance with:the laws and ades'tablishdregultios. All the branch homes ha%beenvsie and inspeCte du "16.h year by' the Boardo Mangr

Duringtheyar, 44,988 embers werecared for in teseverabranche's .o tehome, an increase ~of3,07 compared, with the year -

previous.There were;cared for in the 32 Stite homes receiving Federal aid,

11,140 members, an increase of277: compared'wi'th the previous year.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FACILITIES

Wiith an: increase ofover 8,000meber cared for in. the pasttwoyears, the need for additionalwfacilitieswas considered at the regularquarterly meeting of the board in June, 1928, and the following factsand recommendations are submitted to Congress for their con-sideration:During the' pas,\t fiscal~ year, despite the fact that the Civil War

membership. of the homes1 w reduced to about 17 per; cet ofthe b hetotal membership of the home:at the peak on'February 28-sho-'wed a gain of 10per-'centoverthat of thyea rbefore.Witth a very large number of veterans now -eligible to the homeit is-appare'nt that ther will be a' constantly- increasingu0demand for the'hoeringservice in the` future, and tomeet this-'demand a careful studyof ;wha't the probable load will be should be made&at once. As stated'above, the total Civil War population has fallen to 17 per, cent, and'while 'this: will ::decrease 'during 'the next few years, there is such iasmall pereentge now ' that anydecr'ease will'0 have but litle effectuponwour total membership,' whichwill be largely made up of veterans'of the Spanish-merican and World Wars, where the mortality'ratewill not be excessive in -thenear future. Thereforpeif we assume' a10 per cent increase for the next five years, we find that our peakload in 1928 will be, 18,400'; In 1929, 20,300; in 1930, 22,300; and in1931, 24,500. It is necessary, therefore, for the board to take thefigures, compare them with our, present facilities, and lay down aprogram of construction which will meet the demands, and -as it.

the past year, The August '31 post: return showed a decided gainover that of a year ago-and it is hoted practically in all branches.

While owing to extrm, e 'age there has been, a' decline of -900 in theCivil War population, the fact remains that 62 years after the closeof the, war over 4,000 survivors were being cared for by the home.

NATIONAL HOME FOR DISABLED VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS 9

This is a wonderful commentary on the strength and vitality of theveterans of the Union Army. The Spanish War class has gained10 per; cent and the World War 20 per centM&id the largest part ofthe World War increase has been of the domtiliary class.As a result of this increase it is quite probablethat several of the

branches will be: filled to capacity in their domiciliary facilities duringthe coming year. It is an interesting fact tqo note that from July,1919, to the present time over 40,000 veterans of the World~Warhave, been admitted to the various branches of the National: Military

The general treasurer presented comparative6 statements showingthe operations of the National Home: for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers;for the fiscalyears 1926-and 1927, and statements showing the analysisof each dollar expended, also presented a statement showing opera-tion for a 5-year period ending June 30, 1927, and the first sheet ofthe annual report of the governor of each branch:

TO MEET THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT THE HOME SERVICE MUST BE:ENLARGED AND CONTINUED

The XBoard of Managers adopted the policy which in their pinion would bemost conducive to the contenltmenlt of the men who came to Xthe home to make amore or less permanent residence and this'policy has been adhered to up to the

prsnt dtime.ri

It wasthought that it ws th~epurpse and intention oftheGoernment tofurnish' comfortable "housing, 7satisfaci to'ry food, stablee: clothingiAmedical andhospital care sufficient to meet the needs 'of the m bes with asdfewrules andregulations ssible, so as to make the conditions'asmuch-likea home aspossible, ttakinginrtoconsideration,the lare membership It wasfelt fromtheIfirst that at certain am~ouz of emloyentl of a characters hich: the; membersXweressabln to8 dould tend'to their con tentme n th as many mem-

Thish plan of opetion od' noreuira lag andexsiveorganizatlrtand has been preserved through the entire history of thehome,veThe fact that Congrss, i its sel action of managerachos public ited

Another fact which hasbeei ofgreat value in the perpetuation of definitesystem of administration ini-thie home ~has b~een conltinuity of service. f;;Durlng thelast 47 years, with short intermission, the position of president of the Boamd ofManagers, who isthepexecutive head fthse home, has been held tbyformutoGen, William B.

lished in 1894, and has been held by only tree men- Major Birmingham, Maj..Moses Hrs, United St~tes Army, Wretired,and Col. C , Wadsworth, the pres-ent incu bent. It will be readily appreciated that thiis continuity of service hasbeen of great value, because it. has enabled the-men holding these positions to ac-quire thel.msteminuteknledge of opration phil conditions,:etc.rTo meet4he6 needs, 10 separate branches have been establshe froqm time to-

time,scattered from Maineto~California, each withitsacomplete organizationoperatingunder a: governor, who is the coommandingofficer; equipped with acentral heating system, furnishin generallyits own heat, light, power, water, etc.;a hospital fully equippedwith all modern medical requireme'nts,X-ray service,phYsiotherapy,.'- welfare' service, etc.; a cenril mes fhall where the more able-bodied -nmen have their mals, with :smaler messes where the olderand more ^feeblemenare subisted under the same roof in which they are quartered; religious serv-ices wttit 'both''Protestant and Catholic -chalains wh'ated the spiritual ;needs.of the men; a library where the etirrent newpprs and magazines are on hand;a theater, whre mVing-pire showsand1othr. entetainmen'ts are given' with-out cost to"the members; ambes' h e vario s amusements arefurnihed forthemembers;*"'a:band, 'which',~duringthesummer mon-ths; gives con-certs every evening etc In planning the banch honie's tnot only ave al theutiltiebee prvidd fo, bt lndcap greigwtfoeslwns, etc., has

by the fact'that today, 62 years after the Civil War, more than 4,000 veterans of:thatwar with an average age of over 80 are members of'the various branch homes.The following table ;covering a 6-year period shows the cost of operation and

This, in addition to the increased camppopulation, has entailed an increased amount of medical and surgicalwork. 'The results from the standpoint of rehabilitation have beenexcellent. The eye, ear, nose, and throat clinic which has beenmaintained at this branch during the past year has- done a largeamount of construtetive work. The results which have been ob-tained throuIgh0 the other services sutch as laboratory, X ray, etc.,have been very gratifying.
