| EeneraI cOnOlClOnS at the State
Hospital for the Insane at James
town are declared satisfactory and
some recommendation are made for
Improvement Of conditions, by Miss
Henrietta j., Lund director of the
Children's Bureau Of the State Board
of Administration, in a recent report
made to the Board of Administra-
tion and Governor Nestos, upon
whose order she made an investiga-
tion of various penal and charitable
institutions. The report, which has
been in the hands of the board for
sometime, was made public today,
as result of public discussion of
conditions at the hospital.
One of the chief complaints made
by Miss Lund is with regard to over
crowded conditions in the dining
| room, condition which moved the
State Budget Board to recommend
an appropriation for enlargement of
dining rooms.
Provision for more Social Service
work, providing link between ply
sician and patient, also is suggested
by Miss Lund.
Much Of the work at the hospital
is given praise by Miss Lund, who
| mentions no evidence of brutality to-
ward patients in her reports, and
gives praise fop the apparent good
treatment of patients.
Difficulty of Report
ut is difficult for an outsider to
give an opinion of the condition of
patients due to the very nature Of
the ailment," says Miss Lund, in
concluding her report. Employees
with whom came into personal con-
tact gave indication of having the
interests of their wards at heart.
When ] came into ward unawares
observed the attendants going
about among the patients in a
friendly way. There were five or
six patients in restraint at the time
of my visit. Several were locked
up in separate rooms. but to my
knowledge no straight jackets were
in use at the time. I looked into the
dark rooms, of which there are sew
eral, but according to the state
ments of employees these are seldom
utilized. The patients who become
Uncomfortable are sent to the De-
partment Of Hydrotherapy. have
not chanced to arrive at any time
when a violent patient needed res
traint."
Miss Lund's report was based up
on visits made at various times dur
ing the summer and fall, she said.
Hospital attendants offer prob
lem, Miss Lund said.
"As to personnel" she said in her
report, "the work Of the attendant
at best is q disagreeable one, and it
is often a, problem to secure high
grade service. It is my experience
that there is shifting transient

ARE you EASY?

The days of the picturesque out
laws of frontier days are past.
Great crowds of bandits no longer
roam the Western plains, but peo-
pie of that type still operate, and
we sometimes feel, with greater
profit.
The editor of a nearby exchange
tells of how two attractive young
ladies with winsome eyes went into
the town, sold so-called advertising
for church program, and charged
the merchants there about six prices.
Then to cap the climax neither the
women nor the program ever appear
ed again in the town.
There are directories, special COM
munity books, and advertising CRAFTS
of all kinds going the rounds of
small city merchants. The ideas are
all as old as the hills, but they seem
to work. And the surprising part of
it all is this:
The merchants who pay tribute so
readily to these grafters, are usual
ly the very ones who think advertis-
ing in the local paper costs too much
money. They will pay ten, fifteen or
twenty dollars to get their names in
a program that at best will have a
circulation of three or four hundred,
and then refuse to spend five dollars
for newspaper ad that will be read
by thousands.
Don't let them put it over you,
brother merchants. Whenever there
is a program to be published that
fulflls a community need, your local
printer will put it out, see to it that
it is circulated, and charge you about
half the price asked by these outside
grafters.
Don't be easy.
