POINTS BROUGHT OUT
ABOUT THE BRATTLE-
BOR0 RETREAT


The report of the legislative in
vestigating committee which ex-
amined the Brattleboro retreat and
conducted an investigation OF
charges of misconduct against EN-
ployes of that institution reported
to the Vermont legislature yester-
day afternoon, condemning part OF
the things found and commencing
others.
In brief, the following are the
findings:
Most of the rooms clean; mat
tresses poor; most OF bedding kept
clean; sanitary plumbing.
Heating and ventilating systems
satisfactory and adequate
Food of good quality and suffi
Gent in quantity; food we'll
cooked; dining poorly ven
tilated and unattractiye.
Fire escapes inadequate.
Nermin present.
Insufficient number OF attend
ants; they sometimes are untruth
full and unreliable; lack of super
vision of their work; standard of
wages too low.
Patients have been i'll treated by
attendants, without knowledge OF
those in charge.
Mrs. Hattie NJ. Guilford's
charges unsupported by the evil
dence."
Mrs. Lillian Searles Clement
should have been given better care.
w. F. Barrett not injured at the
retreat.
Lack of attendants permitted
Grace Adams to swallow nail
pieces of glass, a piece OF wire and
a darning needle. which necessi-
tated an operation, for which the
retreat paid $400.
No unnecessary restraint used
on Joseph G. Jones.
G. II. Smith was knocked down
and kicked several times; unable
to find that death was the result
of alleged i'll treatment.
Practice of settling claims
against the retreat is wrong.
Board of trustees of highest
character and of great ability"
Board of supervisors have dis
charged the duty imposed upon
them by the state
Patients discharged as soon as
their condition warranted.
Bookkeeping modern and suffi-
cient.
Two assistant physicians at
least should be employed. There
is now but one.
Retreat losing money on state
patients. State pays "a week and
the cost of each patient is 1854
$40. Deficit arising from 300
state patients handicaps institu-
ton and is putting it in debt.
Modification of the contract with
state recommended.
State should become a trustee
of the retreat; state is vitality in
terested in the proper maintenance
and supervision of the institution.
If insane asylum at Waterbury
is enlarged all state patients
should be cared for there.
The report is signed by Senators
w. IT. Fairchild and Linus Leavens
and Representatives W. w Rier-
den, c. L. Stuart and l.. B. Brooks.
