Board is Wanted

The Republic last Saturday gave
a front page position, with cut of DR..
Scrutchfield, Superintendent of State
Hospital No. a, to the following write
up and interview:
Pennington, Mo-, Dec. Admit
ting that he has been told "these are

lie or appointive Office to speak his
mind concerning State reforms, DR..
G. f. Scrutchfeld, Superintendent of
the Pennington State Hospital for the
Insane, today denounced the system
of administration cf State penal, re-
formatory and eleemosynary institu-
tons.
In commencing the statement re-
Gently of Gov.-elect Gardner, that he
proposed to recommend to the Legis-
lature a central board of supervision
to take over the control and manage
ment of State penal and reformatory
institutions, DIR. Scrutchfield made
these straight from the shoulder
statements to correspondent for The
Republic; -,

pole knocked down the persimmon.
"But we are glad to note that the
light is beginning to dawn and that
we shall have more progressive and
businesslike regime in these institu-
tions," he said. eve have arrived at
the conclusion that local boards, as
now created, which are supposed to
control and administer the affairs of
these institutions, are more or less
unbusinesslike, unsatisfactory, I'M
uniform in their rules and bylaws, UNI
necessarily expensive without giving
due returns and more or less politi-
cally biased from the very nature of
their appointments.
Wants Central Board of Control
1--WE haev come to the conclusion
that a central, non-partisan board of
control which would devote its entire
time to institutional problems would
save annually to the State thousands
and thousands of dollars. Such
board, with proper restrictions and
safeguards around it, would supplant
in a great measure, political pull, and
economy would supplant waste and
extravaganza.
"Under the present independent
buying system institutions buy at
prices little better than retail, at an
annual cost to the State of thousands
of dollars. If the Governor-elect and
the Legislature would recoup the
States finances let them not overlook
| this great buying leakage wherein
each State Hospital buys where, when
and what it pleases at whatever price
it pleases."
DR.. Scrutchfield has been in charge
Of the Pennington Hospital for more
than three years.
