The dining rooms must not be for-'
gotten. The same perfect cleanliness,
the same pure white predominant here.
Long tables with linen Of good quality,
white dishes and potted. Towering
plants I'LL these rooms. The perfect
discipline that prevails everywhere Is
perhaps most strongly marked here In
the quiet demeanor Of the patients as
they enter and leave the room and dur
ing the entire meal 1t seems almost
incredible to the interested observer.
Such discipline cannot be the result OF
force, nor has 1t been acquired except
through long and patient effort. 1t
must be the result of firniness and uni
form courtesy from the assistants. But
more than this, 1t can be traced to the
watchful eye, keen judgment and SYM
pathetic government Of the superin-
tendent. He must. indeed, be a man
with peculiar and unusual qualifica-
tions for his position.
A visit to this hospital and to one
of it's weekly entertainments will do
much toward an appreciation Of what
a noble work our state Is accomplish
ing through it's humane institutions,
and we trust it would also be the means
Of much encoura cement and help being
given to those directly responsible for
the success or failure of the work.
