From the time of Tethmosis III, about
1900 BIC, the island has been popular

Gus Egyptian gods, but 1t is dedicated
chiefly to Isis Twelve hundred years
after Tethmosis, King Nekhtnebf built
a temple to Isis here but most Of that
ancient structure was destroyed by
floods. Ptolemy Philadelphius recon-

larger temple about 800 BIC, which was
completed by Ptolemy Energetes some

western portion of the state. The
building of this institution should
have the immediate consideration of
the legislature. and should be push

while it is interesting TO delye
into the phases OF mental diseases,
it is a practical necessity that we
plan for the immediate care of those
so suffering.
Plan Of Prevention Desirable
ut is also necessary to outline a
plan Of prevention. for it is gener-
ally believed by psychiatrists that
approximately one-half of the pa
tents are suffering from mental dis
orders that could have been pre-
vented. Every effort must be made
to bring treatment to bear upon the
disease in its early stage, through g
cintinual campaign of education In
trying to promote the best possible
conditions of childhood for those

feet or nervous insta biity. which
may later lead to nervius and men.

partment should be advisory, and
should aim to establish further
clinics In the state. This can easily
be done without interfering in any
way with the control or activities of
the present institutions although the
three hospitals-Middlet Nor
wich, and Mansfield.-should be
closely Hinged with this department.
1T might be well to consider hav-
ing the superintendent Of these in
situations act in an advisory ca
pacity in order to insure their CO.
operation and support and at the
same time. avoid any possible
though unintentional, tendency to
overlapping in their respective fields
OF work. The clinics to be operated
by the mental hygiene division Of
the state department of health, for
convenience might be divided into
two general types:
Establishment OF Clinics
(a) Permanent Clinics: In
the larger communities a clinic
should be established preferably in
conjunction with the general hos
pitaD for nervous and mental dis
orders This would serve largely
for adult cases, but would also serve
the local agencies ,as the courts or
charity departments in giving ad-
vice on problem cases. 1t should
not be for cases on parole from the
various institutions.
ITO insure success the commun-
ity interest must be awakened 10
the needs of the community and it
would be the air in the larger cen
ters to have this clinic taken over
as definite community activity. In
the smaller centers. the department
should also establish clinics of a
similar nature, which it would prob
ably have to conduct an indefinite
period. The frequency with which
these clinics are to be held would
depend upon the need of the COM
munity and would best be left for
the department to decide.
Would EXTEND Chtldren's Clinics
"(b) School. or Children's Clinics:
These are now being operated in
the different communities under the
supervision Of the state board of
education. This is the best field of
endeavor. The backwardness of
these children will be found not
only in the intellectual field. but also
due to their emotional reactions.
due to conditions in the home. the
school. and their general environ
ment This clinical work should he
on broader scale under the di-
vision Of mental hygiene OF the state
, department of health. cooperating
| with the state department of edu-
cation. 1t should also be the aim
Of the state department to super
wise 'foltow-up' work in the COM
munities. This 'follow-up' work
should he carried on by local agen-
cies. The fact that there is a
community interest at the present
time is apparent from the number
of agencies. religious, civic, or al
tfuistic, who are doing excellent
work In caring for those who are

MIR. Halls address to the women
voters follows:
zone of the most important prob
lens Connecticut must solve is the
development of policy for the care
Of the mentally sick and a determi-
nation Of what provision can be
made to arrest the ever increasing
numbers now being committed TO
the mental hospitals. who. owing TO

treatment of mental diseases, have
suffered mental breakdown.
I'VE all hope that the psyche
patio institutions ard others inter-
ested in psychology will find some
solution to at least diminish the
number of those suffering from
mental sickness. but this study I'M
doubtedly will not yield any marked
results for sevetal years. The state
therefore should recognize the inl-
portance of the problem and until
the time arrives when the effect OF
prevention and early treatment be-
gins to bear fruit, we must he pre-
pared to care for and treat those
who have become mentally sick and
in need of disqualification. Toward
this end. We must consider the
means to provide such facilities. 1t Is
necessary that suitable bed capacity
