To the Hon. Board of Trustees of Grant
County Asylum and County Home:
Gentlemen-ADOther year has rolled into
eternity and therefore [ am called upon to
render an account. The swing of the
pendulum or time measures and gives US
data from which we report. The asylum
year was one of progress and bright with
possibilities; very little sickness and very
few accidents. The old age failures are in
ev1table and they make up 80 per cent OF the
cases OF sickness and accidents. In passing I
must again mention the fact that there has
been less nervousness and more content
ment than usual due to continued kind
treatment and proper nutrition the result of
vigilance on the part of the attendants and
your ever alert Supt. and kind matron The
board and county owe them a debt of
gratitude for the faithful work and un-
firing attention during the period of great
distress and disaster.
with the saving of every life the silent
voices or the appealing and begrimed walls
records emphatically well done good and
faithful servants"
Now that reconstruction means a beauti.
full and modern building. something the
county can be proud OF. due to an intelligent
and earnest board of trustees and Supt, /
would suggest that from this on the
term asylum be forever dropped; a term
that is a lingering veStige of the dark ages
when it meant actual confinement and
torture, and adopt the Hospital Idea the
term now generally adopted in the east aud
many of the old countries. The idea that
seeks to m~Onopolize every thing that can be
inspired or suggested by the spirit of kind
ness and sympathy. Truly the Hospital
Idea is the lOftleSt, embodiment OF that
mighty and far reaching rule DO unto
others as We would that they should do unto
you" The Hospital Idea is one that is vast
and magnificent and also as enduring Is are
the experiences OF sin and sorrow among
meL. This idea stands for health and vigor
and not for confinement and gloom. Gentle
untiring services. your monument, may it be
the Grant County Hospital.

The report of superintendent will give in
detail the general conditions at asylum and
county home. The report of DR.. S. E.
HaSsell is also made part of this report and
will show the condition of the health of in
mates.
On account of the fire the year has been a
very trying one for the superintendent and
matron, Mr.. and Mrs. Burris. This position
is a very trying one at best but made doubly
so under present conditions.
They have been extremely faithful in the
discharge Of their many duties.
We contracted with them for another year
dating from April IL. 1912.
We extend to them thanks for the manner
in which their duties have been discharged.
A new fire proof asylum has been contract
ed for but will not be finished before Oct. /,
1913. This means great Inconvenience for
everybody connected with the Institution
but the new asylum will be a model for

be highly commended for the liberalty
shown in carrying out the views of the Build

LAST EVENING.
Bismarck Team Planning Trip to
Washburn In Near Future-Date
Not Definitely Decided.

The game between the Washburn
and Company A basketball teams at
the armory Thursday night was one
of the best that has been played dur
ing this winter. The score at the
close of the second half was Bis
marck 40, Washburn q.
No sooner had the ball been start
ed on its merry way than the Bis
marck boys began to run up basket
after basket until the total in the
first half was 20 for the home team
and 10 for the visitors. A large
part of the visitors score having
been made on baskets on fouls.
When the Washburn boys came
into the arena for the second half
a general bracing up Of the players
had taken place and from that time
until the end of the game they were
doing by far the better playing, and
in the second half Of the game led
the home team a merry race and
closed up the gap to graf extent.
An effort has been made and from
last reports successful, to have the
Bismarck team go to Washburn for
return game. How soon the event
will take place will be given later.
So soon as the floor was cleared
after the game, O'Connor's orchestra
began playin1 for the dance whic
followed. A good attendance and a
merry time was enjoyed by all. The
fact that the Lenten season had
opened somewhat detracted from the
attendance, but nearly as many were
here as at former dances. 81
