were cared for in the three county
almshouses. Later they were re-
moved from these almshouses and
placed in the State Hospital which
had been created at Farnhurst.
Still later those detectives who
needed institutionalization were
placed in one state institution
namely: The Delaware Colony at
Stockley. The three counties still
have their jails but those GRIMM
ais who are convicted of felonies
are all sentenced to Greenbank
which in this way fulfills the func-
tions of state prison. The
economy and efficiency of having
one state institution TO take the
place of three separate county in
stitutions is self-evident. Cen
tralization will doubtless do away
with much useless duplication of
expenditure Of both money and
labor. For example, adequate

one institution much more easily,
efficiently and economically than
to the same number of patients
located in three separate institu-
tions. 1t is also true that equip
ment and supplies bought in
wholesale lots can be purchased
more cheaply than they could if
bought in smaller quantities.
MISUNDERSTANDING Cleared Up
Il find that there is a good deal
of misunderstanding and doubt
throughout the State as to just
who is eligible for admission to
the Welfare Home. There seems
to be a widespread belief that the
Home is exclusively for old people.
This belief is not based on fact.
Proportionately there will be
among our guests a large number
Of old people. This is due to the
fact that in Delaware as in the
Country as a whole, the majority

Those Who Are Ineligible

Two classes of people, who, by
law, are ineligible for admission
to the Home are criminals and the
insane. This is a very fortunate
provision, as we are not equipped
to care for people of these class
es.
According to law, on the open
ing of the Welfare Home, the
three county hospitals must be
closed. 1t is therefore apparent
that our first task is to move into
the Welfare Home those patients
in the county hospitals who are
eligible for admission to the
Home. Because of our limited
capacity it is very fortunate that
some of the county hospital pa
tients are ineligible for admission
to the Home Some of these pa
tients are mentally defective and
will be transferred to the Della
ware Colony. The Mental Hy-
giene Clinic is examing a number
of the patients in the county hos
pitals. Any psychotic patients
who are found among this number
will be transferred to the State
Hospital. A few of the county
hospital patients have sufficient
money to live on or other means
of support. These people will of
course not be admitted to the
Welfare Home. We have also been
able to eliminate a few applicants
