St. Vincent’s Hospital
Sisters Make Statement
The Sisters of St Vincent’s hos
pital have issued the following state
ment. The occasion for the state
ment was the i-ecent use of public
school buildings by ex-nun Lucretia
whose lectures contain most atro-
clous calumnies directed at the Sis-
tens of the hospital
"To the public—The Sister» of
Providence have been »erring the
citizens of Portland and the north
west for mere than 47 years. We
have always given the best that de
votedness, qharity and science could
command. Our hospital ia'one of the
two standardized institutions in Port
land. It was the first in the state of
Oregon to be standardized in 1920,
having not only met the requirements
of the American College of Surgeons,
but for special excellence was placed
in class ‘A.’
"The Sisters follow the same course
of studies as the nurses of the train
ing school, pass the same examina
tions by the physicians of the staff
and the Oregon state board. Each
department of the hospital is in
charge of a sister graduate nurse.
The hospital ia inspected yearly, not
only by a surgeon from the American
college, but also by a representative
of the United States government.
These facta of themselves should
sufficiently refute the charge of
laxity, unsanitary conditions, ineffi
ciency that has been publicly pre
ferred against us.
Loyalty Is Defended
"Our attitude towwni non-Cat ho
lies as being one of charity and not
hatred, should be evidenced by the
thousands of charity patients that
we have nursed and sheltered during
our 47 years of service, a very large
jierventage of whom were Protestants,
Jews, non-Catholics of every kind.
We have not pleased every prospec
tive or actual patient but all acknowl
edge that there are limits to even the
best efforts to which human ingenuity
can expand.
“Coining in contact with the great
streams of humanity as we do the
personal purity and integrity of our
Sisters must necessarily be safe
guarded not however at the cost of
efficiency as the hundreds of physi
cians the thousands of nurses and
onr 140,000 former patients can tes
tify. The mortality among our Sis
ters is not greater than among other
classes, except during epidemics like
the influenza, at which time six Sis
ters of the northwest province suc-
uimbcd. Our mortuary records at
“ ncouver, where all Sisters of this
province are interred, show that of
about 500 members of cur order,
there have been 28 deaths in addition
to the above six during the past six
or seven years. Their ages were as
follows: 67. 55, 72, 45, 71, 67, 55, 49,
46, 33, 57, 58, 73, 5.3, 38, 37, 53. 50,
73, 79, 39, 58, 53, 55, 50, 37, 69. bi.
The number of yean which these
fleased in our Sisterhood is as fol-
ows: 49, 23, 43, 22. 49, 49, 26. 25, 17,
12, 35, 38, 51, 14, 14, 17, 34, 31, 49,

never before been questioned; the
present superior of ths hospital, at
thia moment confesses her ignorance
as to what constitutes the papal
colors. Wo know onlv one flag, that
of the American republic.
Investigation Invited
"Our standards of personal morals
are the same as all Catholics and the
highest type of Protestants profess.
We know that the clergy, like the
laity and the Sisters, may have an
occasional unworthy member. We
ourselves have sometimes had a
renegade in the Sisterhood. But to
depict our Sisters as the ‘ignorant
dupes of a system' or individulas is
the height of injustice. While we are
subject to our church in all purely
spiritual matters, the business side of
our institutions to entirely in our own
hands. St. Vincent’s hospital to a
corporation owned and conducted by
the Sisters, aided by a board of gov
ernors chosen from the visiting Staff.
“No statemeift of this kind would
now be made if only the ordinary
methods of attack had been used.
We haw been assailed before, but
ha*e been content to allow our open
lives and work to speak for them
selves. In the present instance, how
ever, the attack has a quasi-official
sanction. The use of public buildings,
the very public schools themselves,
which as an integral part of Amer
ica’» educational system we have
ever held as sacred, these have been
used to vilify us.
“In view of this quasi-official
sanction and the ce-operation by
public authority in Portland, we
earnestly request that the honorable
mayor, or some other personage of
authority in our city, appoint a com
mittee of representative non-Catho-
Hc ladies or men, or both, to make a
public investigation of our institution.
The rules of our religious society,
the methods and conduct of our hos-
£ital are always open to examination,
lay we not, therefore, depend upon
the fairness of those whom we have
served as faithfully as human power
can do, during these many years, to
do us justice in this instance?
