Excerpt from The Death-Rate of Lying-in Hospitals in the United States Of the importance of' possessing such knowledge it is almost unnecessary to speak. By placing the statistics in a tabulated form, the records of those hospitals which are unusually good may be com pared with those that are conspicuously bad, and if the divergence in results between them is great some explanation for this fact must be sought. Then, again, the total result, the average mortality, may be compared with the average hospital mortality in other countries, and, most important of all, it will be necessary to contrast the mortality of obstetrics in hospital practice with that of general practice, as on the result of this comparison should depend the very existence of these institutions; for it must be conceded that no hospital, whether supported by the community or by private charity, has the right to subject its inmates to a danger of death much greater than if they had remained in their own homes, no matter how squalid they might be. The study of the following statistical table, there fore, will be divided under three heads: First, a study of the table itself, with a comparison of the individual records, and an explanation, if possible, of their wide divergence; second, a comparison of the average hospital mortality in this country with that of some other countries; and, third, a study of the relation that hospital mortality bears to the mor~ tality of general practice.

Barton Cooke Hirst was born on July 20, 1861 in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, United States. His father, William Lucas Hirst, an attorney, was descended from John Hirst, who emigrated from England and settled in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1749. His mother was Lydia Barton Cooke. Barton was the eldest in the family of five children, one of whom was John Cooke Hirst, who became a well-known physician.
Hirst received his preliminary education at the Faires Academy and entered the collegiate department of the University of Pennsylvania. At the end of his first year he transferred to the medical department and graduated with the class of 1883.
Hirst served as intern in the University Hospital and following that tour of duty he studied in Heidelberg, Vienna, and Berlin, later serving an internship in Munich. On his return to Philadelphia he was made an assistant to Dr. R. A. F. Penrose, professor of obstetrics at the University Hospital.
In 1889 he succeeded Penrose in the chair of obstetrics, a position which he occupied for thirty-eight years, personally conducting the clinical service, which grew greatly under his management. Many of the funds for new buildings were obtained to a large extent by his solicitation. Hirst was also one of the first to fight for the interdependence of obstetrics and gynecology, and throughout his life he maintained that no man was a safe obstetrician unless he was also a skilled pelvic surgeon.
In 1927, at which time he was the oldest member of the faculty from the point of service, he was made emeritus professor in the undergraduate school, and on the amalgamation of the Howard Hospital with the Graduate School of Medicine of the university he was elected professor of obstetrics in that institution, a position he held at the time of his death. Hirst held many positions of influence and honor in the medical world.
He served as president of the American Gynecological Society and was a fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. He had the distinction of being three times elected president of the Philadelphia Obstetrical Society. He was a corresponding member of the Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Paris, honorary member of the Obstetrical Society of Edinburgh, and also of the Belgian Gynecological and Obstetrical Society. Aside from his university hospital appointments he was active on the staff of the Philadelphia Orthopedic Hospital and the Lying-in Hospital and Infirmary. He wrote with authority on his specialty and published several works, including A Text-book of Obstetrics (1898 and later editions), and A Textbook of Diseases of Women.
He died in Philadelphia, of an acute dilation of the heart, at the age of seventy-four.

Hirst was one of the founders of the American College of Surgeons and at one time was chairman of the section on obstetrics, gynecology, and abdominal surgery of the American Medical Association.
Throughout his life Hirst maintained an unusual interest in his contacts with younger men and the newer developments in medicine. His keen sense of humor and deep interest in his fellow man made him welcome as a speaker at medical gatherings. He was an omnivorous reader and was thoroughly conversant with general literature. His interest in art and music also deserves mention.
Hirst married Elizabeth Haskins DuPuy Graham of Philadelphia on April 22, 1890. They had one daughter, Elizabeth, and three sons: Barton, John Cooke, and Thomas, who was killed in action in World War I.
