This booklet is the 1918 yearly report of a New York charity called Babies' Wards Post-Graduate Hospital. During WWI, a lot of local charities were just as hard up for cash as their overseas counterparts and as such the booklet starts with "America is pouring out her wealth to help the Government to insure victory. She is raising millions upon millions for the Red Cross and War Charities; thousands, nay tens of thousands of her women are giving their whole time and hearts to alleviate the conditions of men, who are to fight our battles; while the flood of sympathy and relief being poured for the women and children abroad is almost incalculable. we are just now reaching the point when the very existence of our Home Charities is most gravely menaced, and that unless this community considers most seriously at once it local obligations with regard to relief, to welfare, and to hospital work, the greatest suffering of many is in sight. The time has come when the suffering is at our very doors cannot be laid aside 'till the war is over' as we hear frequently suggested, but must be met at once." In addition to this plea for help, the yearly report contains the statistics of the babies helped that year, reports from a visiting nurse, Clothing Committee, Junior Auxiliary Committee, Babies Ward Guild, Social Services Committee of the Babies' Wards, and Social Service Committee, as well as the financial report from the Treasurer, annual subscriptions and other donations of supplies. Three (3) black and white printed photographs of the baby ward with nurses taking care of the infants. 36 pg. Blue illustrated wrappers. Measures 8" x 5 1/2". OCLC: 2 (March 2020). General wear. Covers partially separated from text block.
