A Pioneer of sanitnriurns.

tFrom the Medical ReCOrd-)
Virginia can lay claim to the proud dis
tinction of having founded the first insti-
tuition exclusively for the insane upon this
continent. According TO DR.. Drewry, su-
perintendent of the State Central Eosp -tal.
Petersburg Va, who writes interestingly
on the matter, in 1859 the House o. Bur-
gesses provided for a building for the in
sane at Williamsburg. then the capital Of
the colony. This event preceded by thirty
years the revolution in the treatment OF tn
insane introduced by Pinel. of France, ard
luke, of England. In 1892 Virginia proyid-
cd a second public institution for her in
sane at Staunton, and in 1870 she organized
the first asylum exclusively for the col
ored insane Of the world. DR.. Drewry
states that at the present time the popula-
ton of Virginia is about 100000, two
thirds being white and one third eolo.ed.
OF these g. leo have been adjudged insane, a
ratio of 1 in nearly every Geo OF the p0pu-
lation. The ratio in the whites is slightly
larger than that in the negroes, though in
recent years insanity has increased more
rapidly among the latter than the former.
The following statistics are significant:
On October l, 1887 there were in the State
hospitals LII whites and 434 colored in
sane; total, 1905. There are now 1850
white and $40 negro insane at these insti-
crease of 1,215, or an annual net gain of
ninety-two in the hospital population
From the above figures it will be gathered
that as in all parts OF the world insanity
in Virginia seems to show an increase
and in consequence accommodation in the
State hospitals for the unfortunates suf-
fering from that disease is altogether in
adequate.
L is stated that during the past two
years 1872 cOlored and many white insane
have died in jail or at their homes. while
waiting for vacancies to occur in the hos
pitfalls. In the earlier stages OF insanity,
ii the malady is treated intelligently, the
chances of recovery are favorable, while
if an opposite course is pursued the ma
jority of cases will become incurable and
chronic. The practice of condemning an
insane person to jail like common crini-
nal is unworthy of a rich, civilized Christ
ian land.

of the defendant, Henry May. the Assistant

presented to a jury. Tho evidence was
complete and convincing, and established
the guilt of the defendant without ques-
ton. The jury remained ont only few
minutes, and returned with a verdict OF
guilty As soon as the fatal word was
pronounced DR.. Gardiner took something
from his vest pocket, with which he APP
peared to strike his mouth. He asked for
a drink of water. but while standing up
to receive it, fell down upon the noor In
commissions. He died inside of an hour,
denying to the last that he had taken
poison, though he had previously declared
that he would commit suicide rather than
suffer any sentence the court might i'm
pose.

finished in excellent shape in a short time
but Congress neglected 10 take further &C
tion on the subject.
As soon as peace came efforts were
again made in that direction for some
time without success; but another code
was prepared by some thorough lawyers in
1SI4-75, and after passing the ordeal of
the Bar Association. was read day after
day to the judges of the Supreme Court
Of the District. large number OF members
of the bar attending; and all the provis-
ions of the proposed law were thoroughly
canyassed, amendments made, etc, but
this code, too. failed to get the sanction
of Congress.
The local legislative assembly of the
District approved code which had been
prepared by Judge George p. Fisher, Sam
uel e. Phillips. Hugh Coope-tOn, Eben c.
Ingersoll. and r. ID. Mussey. This code
died in a Congressional committee as did
a code prepared by Mr.. E. c. Ingersoll and
a. G. Riddle. ex-Judge McComas, now
Senator, prepared about 1883 a criminal
code for the District which died the usual
death. Mr. J. Q. Kern also prepared a
code which he offered to sell TO Congress,
but no purchase was made.
Early in the last decade of the nine
teenth century Mr.. W. Stone Albert and
the lamented Ben f. Lovejoy were ap-
pointed under an act of Congress commits
sioners to average. classify, and index all
statutes or parts OF statutes in force in the
District of Columbia. Before the compila-
ton was completed Mr.. Lovejoy died and
Mr. Reginald Fendall took his place. That
work. as heretofore mentioned. entirely
complete. is in all the law libraries of the
District, and proves most useful to bench
aad bar. 1t is not however, revised code,
but it is specifically the material for a
revised code. Upon it a revised code has
been based. The subject attracts. of
course, very much attention of the lawyers
of the District and its neighborhood, and
lately the well known lawyers, Ashley NJ.

OF Interest TO School Directors.

About two years ago number of
school districts in this county were
SW1ndled out of $50 to $3.50 each by
school supply men. This taught these
particular men to be little careful in
their deal with glib agents of this
character. On this subject Supt. Otto
j. Lew, in his late annual circular to
school officers and patrons has some
valuable suggestions together with a
statement of what should be the out
side cost of these supplies, as follows:
The schools, as whole, were very
liberal in purchasing apparatus this
laStyear. Many took advantage of the
prices | quoted, yet few have been
imposed upon by agents. Sec. 436 Il.
5. of 1895, prohibits school boards from
buying any charts, etc, unless the
same are approved by either the county
or the state superintendent. And
further, all such purchases must be
made at legal meeting of the board
at which all the members are present.
See also Sec. sol, page 115. Don't
take the agents word for the approval:
make him produce letter of approval
and then read it through. You can
save about half by sending for things
yourselves: besides, an agent will
always try to sell the most costly
appara tuS-becauSe it means more
protit-when a much cheaper and
simpler article would be better for
your school.
L again quote you prices sent me by
the Wisconsin School Supply Co. of
Milwaukee, Wis, under date of May s,
1900. These prices, like nearly every
thing else, are higher this year than
last, but they will probably soon be
less, as that is the tendency at present.

The settler and manufacturer who

of the Badger state, are developing
and improving that immense tract of
rich country very rapidly. Tillers of
the soil are coming in and new fac

for this. The quality and quantity
of iron ore, clay, kaOlin, mari and

yields its riches to those who toll.
Opportunities are still plentiful, for
