funds for the establishment of a hospital. To-day,
situated on a high knoll in Houghtonville, far away
from the noise and bustle of the streets, surrounded
by thirty acres of land, with the town stretching out
below it and its view reaching to the very ridges of
the mountains, stands the practical result of the
sympathy which the town felt for those men who
were so frightfully scalded in the “caboose accident”
of October 21, 1882,—the North Adams hospital.
It is a commodious building, provided with thirty
beds and perfectly arranged for the care and com-
fort of the sick. The institution is unsectarian in
character, is attended by physicians representing
the two principal schools of medicine, who give their
services gratuitously; is under the immediate charge
of an efficient corps of trained nurses and under the
general supervision of a board of control, composed
of ladies representing the various religious denomi-
nations of the town. A training school for nurses
forms a part of the regular work of the hospital.
CHURCHES.
If the number of churches, the liberality of their
support and attendance at divine worship is any cri-
terion, the moral atmosphere of North Adams is as
pure as that of any other town of its size in New
