the hospital site now owned by the DIS

this appropriation be made.
Treatment for Senile Dementia.
When the buildings thus estimated for
have been provided and more room Is
made at the Washington Asylum the
board thinks it would be practicable to
devote one of the best buildings at the
asylum for the care of persons suffering
from senile dementia. Such persons, the
members of the board say, simply need
institutional care. 1t is also the intention
of the board to devote part of the old
almshouse on the Washington Asylum
grounds to the care of inebriates and drug
habitues who are unable to pay for treat
ment in private hospitals.
The board emphasizes the necessity of
establishing suitable wards for the tenn
porary detention and treatment of all In
sane patients. Upon this subject the
board reported: Insane persons are pa
tients in every sense of the term, and re-
course to the police station or their de-
tention in or near penal institutions is
neither humane nor justif1able.
A number of cities of about the size of
Washington, both in this country and
abroad, have long since provided suitable
pavilions known as psychopathic wards
the reception OF oil l1lSdHe
where they are detained and treated for a
sufficient length of time to determine the
real nature of their Illness. 1t has been
found that fully %. per cent of all such
cases have permanently recovered and
have been spared the stigma of formal
commitment to an insane asylum. The
subject Is now being investigated by a
special committee of medical men ap-
pointed by the Commissioners. and as
soon as their labors shall have been COM
pleted special report will be submitted
by the board of charities. While the
present system of detention of the insane
at the Washington Asylum Is an improve
ment upon the former custom of confine-
ment in a police station or JAIL 1t is still
far from satisfactory, and facilities for
humane and scientific treatme mt of insane
persons should be provided at a place
wholly divorced from penal institutions.
The same argument does not apply with
equal force to habitues Of the alcohol and
drug.
Private Hospitals Criticised.
The private hospitals operating in the
District were severely scored by the
board. The attention Of the Commission
ers was invited to the fact that although
Congress has in the last six years appro-
priated more than half million dollars
for the erection of new buildings and the
hospitals. practically no increase in the
number of beds available for INDECENT pa
tients has been made. The board de-
clares that the greater part of this money
has been devoted to the providing admin
istration buildings. magnificent operating
rooms and luxurious accommodations for
private patients who are able to pay. The
