MANY INSANE
N HOSPITALS
Shown That State Hospitals
Are in Crowded Con-
dition.
NEW HOSPITAL NO HELP.
OTHER STATE INSANE INSTITU-
TIONS WILL REMAIN PRACTi-
cALLY IN PRESENT CONDITION
SAYS CHARITIES REPORT.

A slight increase in the population
of the State charitable and correction
al institutions is shown by the bulle-
tin of the Board of State Charities for
the fiscal quarter ending March 81.
The total population on October 1,
1907, the beginning of the present ifs
cal year, was 1888. OF these 6,37S
were males and APIS were females.
The number enrolled March 81, 1908,
at the end of the first quarter of the
present fiscal year was 10,S67. This
number included 6,579 males and 4,2SS
females. The number of inmates re-
ceived during the six months was
l, 595 and the number discharged was
1921. The daily average number of
inmates for the six months was
9,996.29.
The Receipts and Earnings.
The receipts and earnings of the in
situations for the six months were
0,302.91, leaving the net total ex-
penses at $1,211, 0S5.44. ..-
A comparative statement shows that
the population of the insane hospitals
is larger than at the end of any cor
responding six months since 1904.
Comparison is not made farther back
| than 1904. The crowded condition of
the insane hospitals has claimed the
attention of the State authorities. The
completion of the new Southeastern
Hospital for the Insane will not give
any more relief than is needed, it is
said. The population of the Soldiers
Home at Lafayette also has reached
| high point. No perceptible increase
is noticed in the population of the cor
| rectional institutions. This quarter

| ceedings of the sixteenth State con
ference of charities and correction
