Columt>ia. May L't.?The 'colony Idea ' will be gradually worked Into the erection of | aaw building at State Park. The Asylum c >mmisslon has Just returned fr, in a trip North and It Is probable that following a con? ference here on June I, actual Steps towards the erection of buildings on the new property will begin. An annoum rm- ni of the plans of the e >mmiselon was made ' 'day, af? ter the members had returned from the Northern trip. The commission after Its visit to ether Institutions has the idea well formed is r ognialng thj advantages ef eoionistng Insane patients out in the country," said Dr. James W. Ibib evek, chairman of tb j commission . At a conferencr to hi held here June J>. H. P. Xelsey .the lands, p. arehltect employed by the commiss? ion, will be present, with J. L. Lud? lew, the consulting engineer, and Prank B. Ware, the New York State arehn. j j who did work at an Insti? tution In Ne?. York visit by the' commission and Is at present engaged In restoration work at the Albany eapitpi. There will be present, gggOfdtgg to j the plans of the commission, a forest- j tr sent here by the I'nlted States Government. The forester will sug? gest the arrangement as to trees and his assistance will be sought In the laying out of the features of the ground. Congressman Lever has ejpreed to oak the Government to ?ggfd such a man here to confer with the commission and the architect. It Is believed by the commission Chat the working of all of these fea Unvua together Is something new jn the planning of Institutions for the Insane. In other Institutions the com snUwion found the colony Idea well advanced, but the South Carolina departure will be to start from the beginning with the arrangement of o)r? graunds bj afl expert forester, t/H* d>T*4?'pmei.* riong the 'olouj Mae and iha proper country lift foi the UjU9ln' It Is not probable that any build tags at first erected will be for a teas aumber of patients than 100. Th's bx however, a much smaller number USSia Is at present crowded Into some of the buildings at the old institu? tion, where in one or two buildings aa many as 300 patients | The colony Idea will he extended i gradually as the commission now1 ?tews the situation. With buildings gar !?# parents at first and later on j smaller buildings d ' the grounds for a less number, It is believed in time the project of a complete colony Will be fully developed. fa the colony Idea Is foremost the separation of the patients with re-' gard to the kinds of affliction. In ?^ther institutions visited by the com safest >n it was shown that a proper jeerrefcfltion of the patients was beg)* This the commission will seek to provide for In this State. The Bret big step that the new Institution will give. will, of course, bo the PS* greg-itlon of the races. Dr. James W. itahcock. the chair? man: Mr. Klbert Aull, of Newberry, the secretary of the eg umlslon; Mr. J. F. Floyd, of Spartanhurg, and Mr. James W. Payne .of Anderson, made the tr'p North and inspected sev r.n ' kestit itlons. At the Government Hospital tr Washington, one day was protili'd,' ?pent by the members of the commis? sion. Another day was spent at the Central Isllp Ibmplt il on Long Island, this being ? hospital on the colony plan, where there are at,,.at i.r.ou pa? tients There are i ei s of new building* there, and the iiy ,,f the land Is somewhat like the sand hills ef this county. In Western Massachu? setts the commissi ?n visited a large eolony. where 2.000 acres of land was utilised .this being about the same etse a* the new prop, rtv at State Park. The colony In Massachus< tt was* begun six or seven years ago for the chronic liiHane. and since then has he, n considerably developed. There are many separate cottages for from -0 to 100 patients each. The ?aggSjaJgSjag spent SM dag at a private asylum In Massa< hu -%tm\ where wan found the same clarifi? cation of patients and the mparalton ?f the Inmates. This was the M< la n Sanitarium* ?Following the conference hero on June 9. the work toward the ?t?'< ttoii er new buddln*? at State Park will be pushrd. No definite plans for the buildings have yet been made. as the commission postponed this part of Its work until after the other in? stitutions had hern visited.
