THE WESTERN STATE HOSPITAL
The expenses of the Western State
Hospital have been reduced 81 per
capita" To the msjority of readers
this seems great achievement, but the
writer of this, who knows how mesger
the fare already was, is Mortified at the
announcement. This reduction Is but
adding misery to those already miser-
able creatures, who sh ould have the best
OF care.
As to the nurses pay bel ,g increased,
II their intelligence has been added to
10 proportion, then, / would say, In
crease 1t some more. Really there
ought to be, at least, two middle-aged
trained nurses in each of these instltu-
tions, 10 perform duties that are now
performed by at endants wholly iguor-
ant of what they are doing, Therefore,
causing unnecessary suffering. Just
before the meeting of the legislature in
1906, the writer appealed 10 our repre-
sert tive from AIexandris in behalf
of these tftlitted people. After waiting
awhile, the legislature was appealed to
through the same represent tive. That
paper ueVsr reached that body, but was
turned over TO a committee, to die 10 the
waste basket.
The next appeal was to the bospital
board, but was never heard from.
Lastly the governor was asked to act
in the matter. 10 suswer to his request,
that the appropriation TO these institu-
tons bs increased, on account of the
nece, series of life being so much higher
3d., l will call to your mind what was
done. A bill was passed to admit every
insane person free whatever his or her
circum. tsnces-snd also to pay that per-
sous fare to the institution. At the
same time, that same body Of men for
got to appropriate any money to support
these same people-who had hitherto
paid their board, which they ought to do
now.
Most of our insane people are in these
institutions for life, and as last effort
iu their behalf, appeal to every tax
payer 10 Virginia to demand of our leg
isIsture larger appropriations and better
food for these poor, unfortunate people
have cleared my Skirts" but not
so with the legislature OF Virginia and
board OF visitors TO these institutions.
The former either forget or ignore; the
latter are satisfied with making visits at
stated intervals, with looking at polished
floors, ,tc., instead of going at meal
time, Unexpectedly, and seeing the kind
Of food these unfortunsteS eat God will
surely hold these men response le.
