Especial to The Herald.)

Provo. Dec. 1s.-Medical Superintendent
d. H. Calder has submitted his annual
report of the State Mental hospital to the
State Board of Insanity. In his report
Superintendent Calder among other things
says:
1.-The total number of patients in the
hospital at the end of the fiscal year.

81 women and 50 men. The whole num-
Der under care and treatment during the
year was 485, 235 women and go men. The
smallest number for any one day was
344. The daily average number was 1863.
There were discharged from the hospital
during the year 50 patients, 50 women and
50 men. OF those discharged, So were dis

THE increased number of senile cases

in the death rate.

Early Commitment Desirable.

"The closest attention possible has been
given to all recent cases admitted. The
earlier the case is committed the greater
is the chance of recovery. The best
chance or opportunity for the patient S
recovery is during the first three months
of his malady. The idea among people
that stigma attaches to the commitment
of their relatives TO a hospital for the in
sane is wrong and should be eradicated.
They should recognize the advisa bility
and necessity for an early commitment.
The custom of permitting convalescent
patients returning home on an order of
court has been materially extended, with
most gratifying results. In only a few
instances have patients been obliged to
return to the hospital.
Attention has been called In our pre-
vious reports to the increased demand
for the admission of the predetermined
and non-insane epilepic, which is stead
lily increasing. With our present facili-
ties we are unable to properly care for
them, The presence of this class of pa
tents in the wards of a hospital for the
insane is very unwise and dangerous 1t
is a constant source of worry and anx-
iety.
Under the present law of the state
only a certain class of those mentally af-
fected are eligible to the state mental
hospital The institution was not intended
for the epileptic, feeblemnded or Senile
cases. 1t is not properly constructed or
arranged for such classes. There is a
large number of this class who under
the law, are denied the privileges of the
institution, yet who should be cared for
by the state. relieving relatives, friends
and society in general of the burden of
caring for and controlling irresponsible
and undesirable persons in a community.
There are many thousands of dollars
of state funds used every year, and
properly so. for the education or normal
children of the state. yet not one cent
is appropriated for the benefit of the
dependent feeble-minded and non-insane
epileptic. There appears to be no good
reason why the state should discrimi-
nate against these unfortunate detectives
They should be segregated in an insti-
tuition especially designed for them, and
under state care.
Until the state is able to make proper
provision for these classes, temporary ar
rangements for limited number can be
made here, by utilizing cottage No. :.
now unoccupied, which is admirably
adapted for such a purpose. This ar
rangement would have the advantage of
securing proper care and treatment at the
least expense.
Need of New Institution.
THE custom of sending old people to
the hospital is growing greater each year.
A large percentage of these cases are
simply suffering from the infirmitieS of
age. They are, because of some peculi-
aritieS of conduct. or of some harmless
deduction. adjudged insane and sent here
Many of these cases could be cared for
at home. If, for any good reason, this
is impossible. they could be better cared
for in the county infirmaries than asso-
ciated with the actively insane in the
wards of an asylum. II is unfair to
them and unjust to the insane to be thus
associated. Provision should be made for
them elsewhere.

Value of Employment.

THE value of occupation for all pa
tients cannot be overestimated. All pa
tients who have been employed have been

Expenses Were Small.

1.-THE current expenses have been $780,
404.49, or 1880 annual, s11.54 monthly.
2.66 weekly, CSC daily cost of support
per capita The per capita cost has been
less than the estimated amount, and only
a cent per capita higher than last year.
This increase is due to decrease in the
daily average number of patients and an
addition of two to our corps of attend
ants. The advance in salaries of the em-
ployes, adopted last year, figures for the
whole of this year as against only seven
months last year
THE general health of the patients and
the employees has been exceedingly good.

WOMEN TEACHERS PROTEST.
Demand Equal Salaries for the Same
Services.

PHILADELPHIA. March War was
declared between the men and women
members of the Philadelphia Teachers
Association yesterday afternoon at a spe-
cial meeting of the organization in the
Girls Normal School. 18th and Spring
Garden streets. The hostihties revolve
around the question which for a year has
caused such stir among the teachers of
New York city.
Shall women teachers receive as large
salaries do tlte men?
The meeting was called to consider a
resolution drawn up by the women. and
of education for equal payment for equal
services rendered. The women in point
of membership. Outnumber the men ten
TO one there being about 4.QQ0 teachers
affiliated with the association. The resolu-
ton was read by Miss Mary G.. Peacock
of the Girls Normal School and was
adopted despite the dissenting voices of
about fifty men teachers. The men teach
ers of Philadelphia are as bitterly opposed
to the proposal as were the men teachers
OF New York.
The resolution petitioned the board of
education to revise the salary schedule
SO that teachers now receiving low sala-
ries shall receive an increase which will
put them en- the same level with the high
est paid. providing those now receiving
the minimum amount render service equal
ia point of efficiency to that performed
by teachers who are paid the highest sal
aries.
Though nothing was said in the resolu-
ton about men and women teachers,
heated controversy between the two sexes
was precipitated Immediately after the
resolution was adopted, the men assert
ing that their protest against the docu
ment was not prompted by fear that the
women would eventually receive as high
salaries as the men were paid

The army bill. which recently passed the
