FIRST THINGS

The first lunatic asylum in England was founded 365 years ago today. This institution, called Bethlehem. was the first of it's kind in Europe; with the exception of one at Granada For two centuries the unfortunate patients in this and othed later similar hospitals were treated with cruel severity. It was long held that the insane were afflicted with devils as a punishment for their sins, and they were subject ed to every indignity that -supersti- tious ferocity could imagine. Until ITO the inmates of Bethlehem were exhibited as a show, an admission fee Of one and two pence being charged. In 1792 more enlightened methods of Urea ting the mentally i'll were intro duced by Pinel, at the Bicetre, in Paris and by William Luke, a. Quaker pnysi- eian in En gland. A little later Esqui- rol, a French physician, added greatly to the knowledge of mental ailments. In 1915 all England was shocked by the exposure of enormous cruelty at Bethlehem hospital, and this led to gradual reforms. Of late years great strides have been made in the treat ment of the insane, and mechanical res straints have all been abandoned.
