NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS ‘

AT THE ASYLUM.

It must ba quite c`c.ir to any in-

telligent person vlii kiiows 110* Lunatic Asylum- elsewhere are con- ditioned and managed, and who has read the recently published and alirming evidence ihar many changes| and improvements are imperatively needed in the iiistirutiovi at Falcoii- wood, The mire important of tl~°='e may be here set down in brit 0. ,

More frequent visits by the Trus-'|

tees,as often as once a week, and at irregular intervals by day and night, so that the visit will not be expected;§ and thorough inspection at each' visit. .

A resident Msdicil Superintend-l

ent, who shall be an expert in mental diseaseS,and shall give his entire timei to the institution and the cure of itsl inmates. He alone should receive new patients. He should have the appointment and control of all the at- tendants. Two male and two female attendants to have special training in nursing and caring for the sick and in the administration of medicine, keeping record of cases with state of pulse, temperature etc.

In the building the following

changes and improvements are neces- sary:

An improved or remodeled heating

system should be put in and fires kept up during the night so as to give a guiiicient and equable heat in the rooms and corridors, in connection with which a record of the tempera- ture should be kept.

A large part of the present single

floors and ceilings, being saturated with the slops and excretions spilled in the rooms, need to be removed and tight double floors and new plastering of the ceilings supplied.

A hospital, a dispensary, and a

morgue are imperative necessities,

Storm windows should be pro-

vided for winter; and with improved heating apparatus a system of ventila- tion should bs put in that would eu- surs aconstant change of air in the l'00lIlB.

int rtoms for the last hours of the dying

The dining hall should be enlarged

and suitably equipped

These changes cannot all be made

until the new wing, so urgently need- ed, is erected. But provision should be made at once to improve the pre seat building and its outfit as far as possible. It would bs criminal to de- lay any longer the preparation for ,erecting the new wing.

A classification of patients, separat-

ing the idiots and incurables from those who are psssibly curable,i| im-

There should be a close and care-

ful inspection of the food supplies as from time to time received, by the Supervisor, who should be held an- swerable for their merchantable and wholesome quality.

Why, should not the unfortunate

_ insane in this Province have as good a chance of cure, or of comfortable maintenance as the insane of any other civilized country 'Z This they cannot have until the above named changes, improvements and addi- tions to the Asylum building and 1 its management are eiected.

These are matters in which we all

have an interest. Tens of thousands of our people have friends or relatives more or less distantly connected who suffer from mental derangement. The 1 most healthful, the most gifted among us may yet become insane. In fact every consideration of humanity, of mercy and even of self interest calls for prompt and thorough reform in the Insane Hospital of the Island.

e comm nee a in__ eiitlence at e

Ho-pi’al on l`ne~da_v, the ii-iiili_.__r-il Con . iiuiied our investigation iheie and at ihel Provincral Buildii g, until the evening of Friday, the ihirieenth instant. We be- lieve- our ~-:iquiry has been as tiicroiigii as necessary and as circunisiances would t.l~` low.

Uniil ihe stenographer’s notes of evi-

dence are translated and copied we are unable io prepare a com plete and detailed ie-port of our investigation.

In pursuing the enquiry one niatler Of

supreme importance engaged our mo-t serious consideration, namely, the system of heating the building during the winier season. It came out in evidence that the wards and rooms occupied by the patients and their caretakers were often uncomfort- ably cold-the windows are leaky, admit~ iing at times snow or rain-tha; ine heats ing apparatus' is imperfect-and that this imperfect apparatus is not l-ept in operation during ihe night, even in the coldest weather, but the lifes in the furnace are banked regularly ai nine or ten o’cl0ck, p. in. and allowed to reniain so until about five o’clock in the morning, so that the temperature falls so low as to oimpel even the attendants on ilutv ii' night to wear overcoais or oiher exira clothing to keep themselves warm.

It further appears that owing to the

defeciive heaiing apparatus, or some other cause,:he rooms on the soiih side ofthe building receive no current of warmth when the wind blows from the south.

We are so strongly mpressed with the

urgent necessity of remedying this siaie of things withoutdelay in view of the near approach of winter, that we hasten to call the immediate attention of Your Honor’s Government to th- matter and to recom- mend,-

1. 'l but a competfnt architect be at once

directed io examine the system of heating in use at ihe hoapiial, with a view af im- proving the apparatus or of putting in an entirely new system. »

2. That outside or storm windows be put

on all the windows on the south side of the building. , 3. That the Supervisor he directed to
