A CHANGE in the administrative policy for the two Christian Science Benevolent Association Sanatoriums —one at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and the other at San Francisco, California—has just been announced in The Christian Science Monitor. The same policy will apply also to the Pleasant View Home at Concord, New Hampshire.
Beginning with the Pacific Coast Sanatorium, new Trustees will be chosen from members of The Christian Science Board of Directors to succeed the present Trustees, whose term of office expires March I. To assist in conducting the affairs of the Sanatorium at San Francisco, an advisory board of three members is to be appointed, with Mr. Edgar McLeod of San Francisco as chairman. The other two members will be chosen from the northern and southern sections of the Pacific Coast. Mr. McLeod is now the Christian Science Committee on Publication for Northern California, and is a Christian Science practitioner and worker of experience.
We have also appointed, as Executive Supervisor, the Honorable William W. Davis of Cambridge, Massachusetts, who with his other duties will have general supervision of the three charitable institutions of The Mother Church, including the Pacific Coast Sanatorium. Mr. Davis is a highly respected and successful business man who has been closely identified with hotel management in Boston and vicinity. He has served in both parts of the Massachusetts legislature, and on the Governor's council. He was also a Presidential Elector for Massachusetts in 1928. For many years he has been an active member of The Mother Church, was its President in 1929, and is now chairman of its Budget Control Committee.
