Iowa City. July 12.-"Abolish the
county poorhouse." That was the ad-
vice of DR.. j. l.. Gillin, Of Wisconsin
University, as expressed in his illus
trated lecture this morning before the
summer school students in the univer-
sfty OF Iowa. His subject was The
County Homes of Iowa"
DR.. Gillin urged system of a small
er number of poorhouses. He said.
What reason is there for ninety odd
poor farms and homes in Iowa. when
eight or twelve or perhaps even u
smaller number would serve the pur-
pose with much greater economy in
cost Of land and buildings? In addi-
tion this system would give greater
opportunity for segregation of differ
ent classes of inmates as we'll as a
more adequate treatment of those who
remain in the poorhouse.'
State Supervision Advised.
State supervision and control was
advised by DR.. Gillin. He also stated
that the epileptics, the blind, the feeble
minded and insane should he taken out
Of the poornouses and placed in spe-
cial institutions. Convert the poor
houses into homes for only the aged
poor and for those who are crippled
and are therefore unable to support
themselves" he asserted.
Pictures of the most up-to-date
poorhouses in eastern states and
abroad were shown by DR.. Gilin to the
students, to illustrate the modern
