Manning. RTMENT OF THE INSTITUTION Constitution Governing the Asylum ?Jame to the Columbia State ihment of Separate Insti ? Be Known as "State blony." Ideas as to tho past or tho present conditions or traditions, hut with the hope and determination tc see condi tions as they actually exist today, and to present to you only the facts, and to offor for your con?lderation a con- j structlvo and practical plan for the future development of this institu tion." says A. P. Herring. M. D., sec retary of the Maryland Lunacy com mission, who was appointed by Gov. Richard I. Manning to make a careful and unbiased report on conditions nt the State Hospital for the Insane. The report was completed last week by Dr. Herring and bas been sent to tho gen eral assembly. Dr. Herring was sug gested to Gov. Manning by Thomas W. Salmon, director of special Btudies of the national committco for mental hygiene. Both of these physicians have a national reputation und their conclusions carry weight in medical circles. Month liss Been Backward. In the outset of bis special report, which was presented after several weeks of Investigation Dr. Herring says that, taken as a whole, the South baa been backward in making mod ern provision in caring for thc men tally afflicted. "This, I take," says Dr. Herring, has been due principally to financial causes, and not from any want or lack of sympathy or desire on tho part of the people to do all In their power to relieve the suffering and promote the recovery of those unfortunates, who hsve been afflicted with tho most distressing of all dlBeasos, namely, in sanity. There ls, I am glad to say, an awakening taking place all over the South on this subject. Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas and a few other Southern States, have spent large sums of money In erect ing new buildings and in raising and maintaining a high standard of care, equalled only by the most progres sive States of the North and Middle West. State Coming to the Front. "South Carolina, In the care and treatment of the insane, is JuBt about to emerge, I h< pe, from a condition that other States have had to face for more than 50 years. The conditions now existing tn the South Carolina State hoapitai were to be found in New York and Massachusetts, and, in fact, were moro or iess general throughout the country a half century ago. "I uni firmly convinced that now ls the opportune time, the psychological moment, when, under your wise and thoughtful leadership, the conditions which we all deplore, and should never .condone, will be abolished and South Carolina placed In her rightful position. The people of the State will feel very grateful to you. and the members of the general ' assembly, who should give rreely, after careful consideration, of the state resources, so as to afford these afflicted wards of tho stato every opportunity to re cover, and, wehere this is not possible, then to make their remaining dave as' happy and contented as possible un der the circumstances," The Report. The report is presented under four heads. . - ' t. The general requirements re garding the care and .treatment ot patients suffering from mental dis eases. 2. The present conditions at the State Hospital for tba Insane. 3. Suggestions for Improvement 4. Amendments to the lunacy law. Se\?eral pages of the report are given up to the-general requirements regarding the care and treatment ot I patients suffering from mental dis eases. Dr. Herring says that in mak ing or suggesting-any radical depart ; are from established custom, it is im portant that all have a proper concep tion of the fundamental principles re garding auch changes and "that we 1 nU. ?ni..lu .. ...1 -.11 ?B* oW_. ?V ?..??11 " IUVI^ t.a.u .-V,,, ??>?.? lUVM plans regarding the care ot the in sane s hon ld conform to the highest standards known to the medical pro fession." The report says that the dictates of humanity demand that the insane shall bs provided with everything which medical science has dtlyr'.ln cd to be essential to the recovery of those who are recoverable, as well ss for the proper cara. - comfort and ; amelioration of those who remain un xecovered. "No system for the care and;treat ment of the dependent insane," says Dr. Herring, "can be successfully ad ministered which ls not sustained In its ordinary operations by the highest order of haman emotion!; no system can NV fairly regarded ss good which directly or Indirectly retios upon a low order-of these emotions. Cupid ity and solf Interest should have no sway, where suffering humanity ls concerned." Discussing the human side of the question Dr. Herring says that ln aaattay ls by far Cha most widely prev alent of dresses.1 Ha says that among tb? dependent insane are tb be found representatives of all the professions, >LETES IGATION trades and occupations. Ho points out that no class of society can claim exemption from the disease. Tile report ?tates that the cost of properly caring for tile insane is one of the most expensive burdens the State has to bear. It is estimated, says Dr. Herring, that tho total cost of the care of the insane and feeble minded in thin country ls over $32, 000,000 a year. Discussing ilie cost of the insane to South Carolina Dr. Herring givt>s the following figures: 1910, patients, 2. Ii>:t. appropriation, $291,401, per cap ita $144.22; DUI. patients, 2,28?, ap propriation, $293.929, per capita, $132.7?; 1912, patients. 2.128. appro priation $318.380, per capita. $168.33; 1913, patients. 2.50."?, appropriation $305,247, per capita, $155>.86? 1 ?*14. pa tients 2.738. appropriation, $319,124 per capita, ?176.18. Dr. Herring then makes thc follow ing comment: "Two hundred dollars ls the aver age per capita in modern and wei equipped hospitals for thc insane. / per capita of less than $178 mean: custodian rare, which, in the loni run, is the most expensive." Arrangements of IluHdlngx. Discussing the pltin for thc reor gani/.ation of the hospital for tho In sane. A. P. Herring, M. D., Gov. Man ning's efficiency expert, says that* lu has ever kept In mind the fact that llrst of all, it must be practical and a thc same time sufficiently ad?quat and elastic tu meet all future require incuts, and in tho second place i should bo within reasonable financio limits. Dr Herring first considers th general pinn of arrangement of th I buildings and the distribution of th patients. The internal organization I included under a separate head. Should Remove Negroes. The report declares that the moe evident step at the .present time is t remove all of tho negro inuane, th idiots and imbeciles, tbe tuberculou and pellagrous patients to State Pari He says by doing this that there wi! bo plenty of room for the whito in Bane at the old asylum for many year to come. "In fact," he says, "by d? veioplng the farm colony idea thor will never bc the overcrowding t these buildings that exists at the prei ent time. A Medical Center. Tho first thing that ia absolute; necessary," says the report, "in hospital for the insane ls a psych? pathic reception hospital buUdlni , This is the active medical cent? which controls and stimulates the Ul of the entire institution. Here U patients who enter tho hospital ai i first received, thoroughly examine and, it need be, detained for Urea mont* All patients who ase actual disturbed receivje In this butldit hydro-therapeutic' treatment and at other treatment indicated; in oth< words they are treated as sick ind vlduals. In this building are alBO 1 cated laboratories, examining room operating rooms, and every faclll needed for th? proper treatment the mentally sick. In this connecth I would also suggest that an out p tient department be inaugurated this building for the purpose cf d lng an important work in prevent! psychiatry. The close proximity the hospital to the city renders lt e pecially adaptable for this new fie of medicine. Tho building which cou be used for this purpose ls the o asylum building, the walls of whi are substantially constructed and ti general outline nf the building w< adapted for this purpose. Ural Install New Interior. "T,he Internal arrangement will, course, be changed and practical an entire new interior installed. T details concerning the arrangement the interior of this building will ha to be taken up later with an arch oct. We would make provision for hundred patients,, none ot wh< Would remain in this building for a great length of time. Leaving tl building for the present, we will cc sider next the central building, a this description will apply to bc wings of this building. "No very" radical changes need made In these buildings so far their general arrangement ls concei ed. Of course, nearly all ot t buildings throughout the entire Ina tutlon require new floors, and an ? tire new sanitary equipment, and ni beating. A number of small roo would be thrown into one large roc Attractive day rooms and dormit ies would result from abolishing large number of small rooms. Reairange-meat of Business 4??lice "The rearrangement of the busin? office in the central portion ot tl building will also be necessary. "Thc Parker building, which ts n occupied by the negro men, will hi tn ha oiUnajvAl. rSHOYHtfd a nit v be used to relieve tho congestion n existing in the wards for the wh men. The Parker annex, a two-stt brick building, will be converted li an industrial shop and placed nm the supervision st a competent tea er. In this building the patients v maka brooms, matt rosses, rugs, she baskets', and a great many otl things necessary In a-large mst! tlon. This would be one of thc m valuable departments, both from therapeutic and financial sta nd po Without a building ot this kind? hospital ls complete. Ne Change* ta Ladies' Depart mei "The buildings for the women n< not be changed except for the gena repairs as suggested on the rn? side, bat there ls need for a t building Tor convalescent wemen, part of tat? building could be'used a sewing room for the women. H the women wonld engage, under direction""of a competent teacher, divcrsional occupations, play as v aa work would be made an import part ot their hospital life. In < building most of the clothings cc he made for the patient's and. nil of repair work on the clothing done, i ? ' \ a great many things especially Inter esting and attractive to women would be carried on In this building. Ideal Nuret* Hume. "The Dix cottage, which ls a frame building, and is now used for the con valescent women, would make an Ideal nurses borne. At the present time there is practically no satisfac tory accommodations for the nurses, some of them sleeping in thc wards with the patients, while others have rooms on the top floor of the new building, which is an attic that has been converted Into sleeping quarters. So much for the general arrangement of the present buildings. Kitchens and Dining KOO.UH I'nsaMs factory. "In addition to tho improvements already suggested, there should * he erected a central kitchen and congre gate dining rooms. Thc present sys tem of numerous kitchens and dining rooms is unsatisfactory in every way; and there should be an uptodate laun dry. The present building could he utilized by enlarging it somewhat and Installing modern equipment. A cen tral heating plant would also be nec essary, and this would probably be the most expensive item in the entire plan of reconstruction. "A number of small buildings about thc place would naturally be done away with in the general cleanup. A new ice house, a new baker, refrig erating plant, etc.. will all be included In the plans for thc central kitchen." "State Park Colony.* According to the report by A. P. Herring, M. -D., under the present plans a colony for tho negro insane of both sexes would bc established at State Park. There is a building at this place which is now occupied by less than 100 negro women. "Nono of the work of this building." says the report, "was done by the labor of yatlonts Under our proposed plan at least a hundred able bodied negro male patients would be trans ferred to State Park and housed in the small. wooden building now on thc place. These patients would be uti lized in doing all of the general labor, such as excavating, clearing the land, unloading cars, mixing cement etc. This would save the State a great deal of money and by erecting a permanent and comparatively inexpensive build ing all of the negro patients could be housed in tba near future, and at a comparatively small cost-I would say within S400 a bed. This, to my .mind, ls one of the most important things connected witii tho entire plan of reorganization. "The negroes could be used for farming purposes, and there is no rea son why most of-the produce used In the hospital could not be produced oe this farm by thc patients' labor. By occupying tho negroes in this manner restraint could be absolutely abolish ed; tho patients would be happier and more contentad; there would be a large number of recoveries; and at the same time they would become a valuable asset; to the ?institution and the State. "In addition- to the colony for the negroes there '? could be erected at State Park a building for the idiotic and imbecile children, who are now living with the patients In the State hospital. .Tho importance of segregat ing the imbecile and feebleminded children from the adults has never been questioned. There should also be constructed at State Park a sep arate building for cases of tubercu losis and pellagra. There Is a splen did opportunity, both at the present hospital and at ?taie Park, to develop farm colonies." COTTON ?INNINGS FOR THIS STATE Totals by Coan t'es to January 23 Give*. William J.

An Admonition. The January Issue of Our Monthly, a magazine published monthly at tho Thcrsw??? orphanage, Clinton, ?iiieRkB as follows o? oue of our ie??owtowns men: The fact that tho published wills ot our South Carolina people leave, shows that they realize that a tnan ought not to go out. of Ute without making the world better for his leav ing lt, leads us to say that there aro not many of our people who can not give large sums to charity while they live but they can give large sums In their wIUs. We are led to think of this by the will of Col. Jos. N. Brown of Anderson, who baa left 550,000 worth of bouda to his. daughter while she Hijes and to foreign missions at her decease.
