WOULD LET PATIENTS WORK
Expert Advises Work at State Park
for Those Cared For.

Columbia, Feb. 3.-According to the
report by A. p. Herring, Nj. D., under
the present plans a colony for the ne
gro insane of both sexes would be
established at State Park. There is
a building there which is now occu-
pied by less than 100 negro women.
None of the work on this build
ing" says the report, was done by
the labor of patients. Under our pro-
posed plan at least 100 able-bodied
negro male patients would be trans
ferred to State Park and housed In
the small wooden building now on the
place. These patients would be utiliz.
cd in doing all of the general labor,
such as excavating, clearing the land.
unloading cars, mixing cement, etc.
This would save the State a great
deal of money and by creating a per-
manent and comparatively ineXpen-
sive building all of the negro patients
could be housed in the near future,
and at a comparatively small cost
would say within $400 a bed. This,
to my mind, is one of the most i'm
portant things connected with the en>
tire plan of reorganization.
:The negroes could be used for
farming purposes, and there is no
reason why most of the product used
in the hospital could not be produced
on this farm by the patients labor.
By occupying the negroes in this
manner, restarint could be absolutely
abolished; the patients would be hap.
pier and more cOntented; there would
bc large number of recoveries; and
at the same time they would become
Il valuable asset to the institution and
the State.
'In addition to the colony for the
negroes, there could be erected at
State Park a building for the idiotic
and embecile children who are now
living with the patients in the State
hospital. The importance of segrega-
ting the imbecile and feeble minded
children from the adults has never
been questioned. There also should be
constructed at State Park a separate
building for cases of tuberculosis and
pellagra. There is a splendid oppor-
tunity, both at the present hospital
and at State Park, to develop farm
colonies

to take the training, nor do they wear
any distinctive uniforms.
II. Female nurses are not employed
on the male wards.
1918. There is no systematic use
of occupation and recreation. Some OF
the patients work about the wards and
in various departments of the hos
pital and farm. The most distress
ing phase Of life in this institution is
the utter lack Of work and play for
the patients, under the supervision OF
a teacher. The weekly dances are
given in winter and the moving pic
ture shows during summer. Diver
sional occupation is unknown.
Ia. During the past year 224 pa
tients were discharged as improved
and 100 as unimproved, while 56C
died. There is no after care or plac.
ing out system.
Is. There is no special provision fol
the tubercular insane.
16. There is no way to segregatt

Pcllagra Statistics.

DR.. Herring says that from the
above statements it is evident that
the asylum does not in any way con-
form to the standards existing in a
modern hospital for the insane
Some Defects.
DIR. Herring calls attention to "sev-
eral defects which need immediate at
tention." as follows:
1. The fire protection is entirely in,
adequate. Not only are these build.
ings veritable firetraps in their pres
ent condition, but the lack Of fire ex-
tinguishers and the condition of the
hose, as found in some of the wards,
makes the danger from fire a real and
terrible disaster to contemplate. Only
recently has the thread on the stand
the hose Of the city fire department
can be used on any of the fire plugs.
| 2. The sanitary conveniences
throughout the entire institution are
in bad repair and entirely inadequate.
The free and constant use of recep-
tacles is practiced. With one bath
tub on each ward to accommodate
over 40 patients it is self evident that
the bathing facilities are not salts
factory.
3. The heating and ventilating sys-
tenn is old, out of repair and made
quate. The buildings are heated by
about 80 stoves and furnaces.
4. The method of cooking and serv-
ing the food in several kitchens and
numerous dining rooms, delivered
through tunnels in the basement and
then by dumb walters to the wards,
renders it absolutely impossible to
have the food hot and palatable when
served.
5. The floors, ceilings and interior
walls in nearly every part Of the in
stitution are badly in need of repairs.
6. In their present physical condi-
| ton, many Of the buildings are not
fit for human beings to be housed in,
and immediate repairs should be
made. The present run down con-
ditiOn of the interior of the buildings
is due to the fact that adequate re-
pairs have not been made for several
years.
Summing up the conditions at the
asylum, DR.. Herring has the follow
ing to say:
| The physical condition Of the in
terror Of the building is very bad:
the internal organization of the hos
pital needs a thorough reorganiza-
ton to bring it up to the requirements
of a modern hospital; and, with all of
these buildings, it is hardly to he
expected that modern care and treat
ment for the insane. can be secured.
80 that 1 wish to make it perfectly
plain" he says, that we should not
| criticise those who are in immediate
attendance on these patients, but that
on tne otner nand, they should be
given credit for doing as much as they
do under the unsurmountable diff
culties. The overcrowding of the
wards and lack of attendants and
need Of sufficient money are all con-
tributing factors in the present state
OF affairs"

This entire department will have to
be reorganized.
Z. A laboratory has been recently
established in the main building,
where a limited amount Of satisfactory
work can be performed. There is,
however, sufficient work in a hospital
of this size to require the services of
an experienced pathologist.
s. There is no provision for any
