growing too fast? The Central In
sane Asylum is spreading out more
and more as decades go by and its
population is increasing with the
years.
The first state lunatic aslum was
completed in November, 1889, autho-
rized by a legislative act of July,
1886. 1t was on 80 acres and had
room for 120 patients. Then q more
acres were added to the original tract
and in 1845 about seven acres more
making total then of Ga acres. In
1S45-46-47 three further additions
were made to the main building.
On November 18, 1868, the whole
structure burned. The fire originated

in the east wing and was believed to
have been set by a patient. All
patients were rescued except six wo-
men who died from suffocation. The
survivors were then cared for IN other
hospitals throughout the state.
The old site was sold in 1870 and
July 4, that year, the corner stone OF
a new building was laid on a 300
acre tract two miles west of the state
house. Governor Hayes presided and
officers of the Grand Lodge of Ohio
and other Masonic bodies took a
prominent part.
The new grounds were beautifully
laid out with walks, drives and shrub
berry resembled some fine foreign
park. The building cost 100000 and
was seven years in being built. The
distance around the outside wall was
a mile and quarter. 1t was the lar
gest institution of its kind in the
world. Apparently there were lot OF
deranged persons in Ohio and more
were expected.
With completion of the new Central
Insane Asylum disillusionment came
to those Ohionans who held the i'm
preston that hospitals for the insane
were much like prisons, with raving
maniacs confined in cells and the
corridors bedlam of cries and yells.
Such ideas came from treatment OF
the deranged in the past and passing
years of scientific discoveries and ex-
perience have made the later periods
a happy contrast to times gone by.
Only the most violent patients ever
are confined in the strong room and
such occasions are few and far be-
tween. Besides medical treatment
various plans have been devised to di-
vert the mind and lead it as far as
possible away from self. Every effort
now is made to promote the happi-
ness of patients.
Many are encouraged to do some
kind of manual labor. Men work on
the farm, garden, service buildings or
in the institution itself. None are
coerced but are free to work or not
and so a matter of choice their work
is done cheerfully and to their own
profit.
j Belief that in the worst cases of in
sanity the patients are constantly
confined and are dangerous to them
selves and others is not well founded
Patients ramble through the corri-
doris, hold conversations with each
other and many of them appear happy
and contented. Every effort is made
to make them feel that they are not
under restraint.
When periods of violence come the
patient only is confined for neces-
sarily short time and is liberated
when he again becomes pormal. In re-
sisting the most violent patients il
never is necessary to resort to blows
Narcotics never are used to quiet pa
tients except in cases where their OWL
health precludes other means. Pa
tients with suicidal intent never at
tempt self destruction in the presence
of others and so four or five of then
are kept together in the same apart
ment and effectually guard eacl
other.
The foregoing taken from descrip
tions as of more than half centur!
ago is the story of the state insane
asylum up to that time and is rewrit
ten because of its historical value. /
is not descriptive of conditions as o
today. The surest way to ascertain tn
rest of the story would be to slip of
the beam, pack up the old suitcases
go up there and move in.

Aim Criticized

NEW YORK, April 81 Pr
Edward j. Corsi said yesterday
President Eisenhower should re-

He said the goals Of the pro-

gee Act changed.

the admission of 214,000 care

have been issued during the first
IS months Of the program, but
only a little more than 1000 per-

Mr.. Corsi told newsmen that
he filed a report with Mr.. Dulles
March 3. including a recommen-
dalton for emergency" state
ments by Mr.. Eisenhower and
Mr.. Dulles. He never saw any
results, he added.
Amendments Identical
Mr.. Corsi said amendments to
