EDUCATORS END MEETING
Lutheran Students Missionary Con-
ference Begins, Sessions Being
Open TO Public.

That the English Lutherans can and
will take a lesson from the Swedish
Augustana synod in the matter OF ed
ucation of their young people, was one
OF the compliments paid to the work
OF tho local college and theological
seminary by members OF the board Of
education OF the general council of the
Lutheran church OF America which has
been in session at Augustana since
Wednesday evening Yesterday fore
noon the subject OF comfy among the
various Lutheran Institutions was dis
cussed. In the afternoon a compare
tive study OF the Lutheran colleges and
those Of other denominations. as well
as secular colleges. was ably present
cd by President Andreen- Much was
said 20 indicate that the Lutheran col
leges are rapidly forging ahead In
the course OF his remarks DR.. Andreen
said that he mad a dream OF univer-
sity under the control OF the Lutheran
church. but that IL would take years
10 bring about the rea ization of that
dream.
Defines Relations.
Dr.. c. r Li1dberG OF the local semi
nary read one OF the most instructive
papers OF the day in which he clearly
defined the relations OF the various
seminaries of the Lutheran church.
The final paper Of the day. and the one
which seemed TO attract the most at
tenticn. was the one read by the ven
cradle Dean Henry Jacobs of the Mt. I
Airy seminary in Philadelphia. In this !
paper a strong plea was made for /
course in practical theology IN I
semfnaries. The time spent on tle /
study OF Hebrew in the seminary I
should be made elective was one of 1
his recommendations. To nine-tenths
Of the students in or seminaries the
study Of Hebrew Is a waste Of time"
said DR.. Jacobs. Let the student be-
come thoroughly familiar with the holy
writ in his own vernacular.' urged the
speaker. At tie conclusion of the dis
cussion the entire audience showed
their appreciation OF the work of DR..
Jacobs by rising.
The conference concluded its work

COTTAGES BEST
FOR The INSANE
A. L. Bowen, Secretary of
State Charities Commission
Reports on Trip.
VISITS EASTERN ASYLUMS
Conditions Should Be Made as Much
Like Those in the Average Home
as Possible.

Investigation of eastern institutions
has convinced \. L. Bowen, secretary
I Of the state charities commission, that
the new state hospital for the insane
which is to be erected at Alton and
the epileptic colony which is to be es-
tablished at Dixon should be operated
on the colony plan. He has just sub
mitted to Governor Dunno a report in
which he makes this recommendation.
Mr.. Bowen recently visited a number
Of institutions in eastern states for the
purpose of studying their methods.
He believes that one-story cottages
should be used at the proposed hospi-
tails for certain types of the insane and
that one-story buildings should be used
for. all types of epileptics.
He says that the effort should be d.
rected towards giving the insane and
Dileptics the same environment that
they have been used to or that they
should have in a free existence.
Just Like Home.
I'm line with the policy of normality
in environment. small capacity is the !
rule" he explains. Indeed. the near
est ideals are found in one-story frame
cottages. just such as the average man
and woman lives in.
The modern plan subdivides an in /
stitution into colonies, each of which !.
is a unit with its general dining room, !
a central kitchen serving several col |
onies. The colonies are located a dis !
lance apart, in some cases as great as |
a mile
Mr.. Bowen expresses the opinion |
that insane patients in New York and 1
are given more individ- I
ual attention than they receive in ILL
nois. The hospitals are not so crowd !,
I'd there as here. He discusses the II
various means used to prevent the
spread OF the "contagion of excite
nent."
Bars and Locks Go.
Every effort is made TO give the pa
lent the surroundings he would find
n the average home, hence the num-
'er OF screens and bars on windows
md doors that are locked are rela-
lively smaller than in Illinois. In the
wards for these classes of patients
here are pictures on the walls. rugs
II The floors, furniture and flowers,
loths, knives, forks. spoons and china
we're on the tables. The raw foods
furnished the patients are not so good
g those bought by Illinois, but the sys-
EN- OF cooking. distributing and serv-
NJ is better.
Mr.. Bowen urges that patients in the
illinois insane hospitals be permitted
o make their own clothes and shoes.
n the eastern hospitals this is done,
hereby affording the patients a GER
ain individuality in dress and a larg-
r number OF them profitable employ
nent.
The report contains detailed ac-
cunt and description OF each of the %
Institutions visited and pays part.cu-
ar attentian to orphanages as well as
for the insane.
