University to give lectures on special
subjects. Every subject is taken up
in the course that deals with practical
agriculture in Tennessee.
The students are enrolled from ken

noticeable fact is the range in age of
the students. They range from high

At meeting of the highway COM

every angle. There were present
magistrates, road commissioners and
citizens from several distrits 10 discuss
the road work In their respective dis

the Highway Commission for that purpose
and TO let the commission know how
they wanted their several districts
handled this year. The result was
decision to work by contract several
districts as stated in an announcement
by the Commission in another column
asking for bids for the work.
The Commission gave each district,
as far as possible. the opportunity of
deciding how its roads should be worked,
and where satisfactory bids can be
secured 1t was stated the Commission
would let contracts for the work. II 10

versity, DR.. Smith is often at Bloom
ington and is always entertained at

During the war DR.. Smith took an
active interest in national affairs and
was a member of the medical section
of the Indiana Council of Defense

of soldiers.
He planned and supervised con
struction of the $1,500,000 insane hos

member of the commission on 10
cation of Indiana penal farms and
advisor to the board of trustees.

attention and keep it from himself.
Industrial Work.
To this end he has experimental
and attempted many forms of hand
work, including weaving, rug making,
embroidering This spring he will
superintend the erection Of two
, story brick building 40 by 100 feet,
which at an approximate cost of
5000, will provide many types of
industrial work suitable to the physi-
cal strength of the patients. The out
put of this factory will not be put upon
the market for sale but will when pos
sible be used within the institution.
Brooms, mops. brushes, etc, will be
| among the articles made.
Another innovation which Dr. Smith
hopes to establish soon has recently
been made possible through the pass
age of the Law of Voluntary Admis
| sion in the state legislature in 1919
Dr. Smith drew the law himself.

way We are able to give free service

more than in taking treatments from q

cases and fulfills the adage, An ounc,

may keep in touch with patients on
furlough and ascertain whether home
conditions are suitable for the better
ment of the patient or whether it is
something there which is aggravating
his case, is another step we hope to
take very soon," said DR.. Smith.
Needs More Help.
Difficulty in getting help is being
where. With more patients and less
domestics, DR.. Smith says they are
facing a hard job The medical
staff is still two short since the war.
There are so domestics and IS nurses.
Besides scientific mind, Dr. Smith
possesses a disposition which prob
ably has been greatly responsible for
his success with people. He feels
their sorrows and joys and takes keen
pleasure in making his knowledge of
science go farther and farther to
| make other people we'll and happy.
Despite the greatness of his respon-
sibility at Easthaven, where he is not
only medical superintendent, but also
general superintendent, DR.. Smith has
also found time to take an interest
in many things in the whole outside
his great institution.
He is dean of the state hospital
service because of his long service
He Is member of the American
Medico-Psychol association, of which
he was president in 1915 and 1916. In
1910 he was president of the Indiana

patients. Today there are "a build
ings, three colony farms, and 925
patients.
This increase in patients does not
mean that more people are going in
sane in 1920 than were in 1891; 1t
does not in any sense mean that in
sanity is on the increase, but rather
that we are serving larger area and
that people have begun to appreciate
the value of treatment and to differen-
tiate between cases which can be sue
cessfully cared for in an insane hos
pital and those which may be cured in
an insane hospital.
Many Old People.
I'm other words the public is begin
ming to more thoroughly appreciate
the advantages of the hospital, and
to look upon the asylum as such rather
than a Jail. We find that commit
ment is asked for a much larger mum
Der of elderly people than was former
ly the case. In past years such people
though obviously suffering from
mental disease, were kept in theiI
homes where the environment often
increased the intensity Of the disease
and where care was insufficient"
The territory served by the hospita
| formerly included what was known as
the "old gas belt" Now it serves that
on latitude with Wayne County from
Franklin to the Michigan line.
Colony Farm Plan.
Outstanding among the accomplish
ments of DR.. Smith during his years
at Easthaven is the colony farm
plan which he was first in Indiana tC

good, other institutions of the state
are inaugurating the system. In the
late spring or early summer, the
superintendent will oversee the con
struction of three more colony farm:
on the Easthaven grounds. One o
them is to be for women, the first o
it's kind.

| patients, in improved mental cond1

patients are encouraged to carry o
