10 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

Mr. Charles H. Peckham, Secretary of the Board since May, 1892, died July 21, 1907, and Mr. James K. Read was appointed Mr. Peckham's successor, Aug. 2, 1907.

Mr. James H. Eastman, Superintendent of tlie State Work- house and House of Correction, and of the State Almshouse, Superintendent of the Sockanosset School for Boys, and Super- intendent of the Oaklawn Scliool for Girls, died August 22, 1907. No appointments have been made to fill tlie offices held by Mr. Eastman, the duties of which have been performed by a committee of the Board, appointed ad interim by the Board, September 20, 1907, consisting of Messrs. McCusker, Boucher and Rodman.

April 5, 1907, Dr. Frederick B. Jewett resigned the position of Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, to take effect June J50, 1907. On June 3, 1907, Dr. Artliur H. Harrington was appointed to tliis position. Dr. Harrington is a graduate of Brown University, Providence R. I., and of the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pa. After finishing his medical course, he spent two years in further study and hospital work, and was then appointed assistant physician at tlie Danvers Insane Hospital, which position he held for ten years. He then became resiient physician at the State Farm, Bridgewater, Mass. In 1898, Dr. Harrington was made Superintendent of the Danvers Insane Hospital, Danvers, Mass., and held this position until 1903, wlien lie was elected Superintendent of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, of New York City, resigning said office to become Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Howard, R. I. The Board believe that in Dr. Harrington they have an able and efficient Superintendent.

Mr. E. E. Gardner was appointed Deputy Superintendent of the Sockanosset School for Boys, January 1, 1907.

The following minutes are from the records of tlie Board, having been adopted soon after the incidents referred to, re- spectively :

''The letter of Col. R. H. I. Goddard notifying the Board that he has tendered to His Excellency, the Governor, his re- signation as a member of the Board of State Charities and Corrections has been received by his associate members on the

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 11

Board with a feeling of deep regret. Since 1898 Col. God- dard has served the State with great fidelity, displaying rare dip- lomacy and tact in all the varied matters upon which the Board has been called upon to act. We, each and every one of us, feel that the State has lost a valued servant: that the Board has lost a wise counsellor. In recognition of his services, it is UDanimously voted to spread this resolution upon the records of the Board, and that the Secretary be directed to forward an engrossed copy of the same to Col. Qoddard."

'"In memory of Charles H. Peckham, late Secretary of tlie Board of State Charities and Corrections.''

"Charles Henry Peckham, Secretary of the Board of State Charities and Corrections, departed this life on Sunday, July 21, 1907, at Higgins Beach, Maine, in the 75th year of his age."

''Mr. Peckhan, during his long and useful life, served his native town of Scituate in the Legislature of the State many years with credit. He also rendered valuable service to tlie industrial and agricultural interests of the State by reason of his connection with the State Agricultural Fair Association for many years. Probably, however, the most useful years of his life were those devoted to the service of the State as member and Secretary of this Board, having been a member of the Board from 1887 to 1900 and Secretary from 1892 to the date of his death. As Secretary, he gave to the State con- scientious and valuable service, performing his duties with in- telligence and with the greatest fidelity; and, in just recogni- tion of the sterling qualities of which he was possessed, and in appreciation of the faithful service he performed for so many years, this Board here makes record of its sincere friendship for the man and its deep respect for the officer."*

^'Resolved. That the foregoing minute be spread upon the records of this Board, and that a copy suitably engrossed be sent to the family of the deceased."

""In the year 1884 Mr. James H. Eastman commenced his work at the State Institutions at Howard, and from that period

• Mr. OhnrlesH. Peckham was appointed member of the Board by His Excellency, Governor JohD W. Davis, November, 1887. He resigned his membership In May, 1hs»2. and was at that time appointed Secretary of the Board. As Secretary of the Board, be wa8,bj law, member of the Board ex-offlclo until May 4, 1(N)0. when this feature Of the law was annulled.

until the time of his 'death has served the State with signal ability in the various offices he has been called upon to fill. As a result of his labor, the departments over which he has been in charge have reached a high degree of efficiency and are recognized throughout the country as models in their line. In appreciation of his faithful and valued services, the Board direct- that this testimonial be spread upon the records of the Board; and an engrossed copy of same be sent to Mrs. East- man."

CONSTRUCTION.

ADDITIONAL COTTAGE FOR THE OAELAWN BOHOOL FOR QIRLB.

A full description of this building was given in the report of the Board for 1906. Briefly, it is 79 ft. 6 in. long by 84 ft. 6 in. wide, with a rear extension 84 ft. by 24 ft., and the walls are of brick and the trimmings of granite. It has a basement, two main stories and an upper story lighted by dormer and gable windows. Besides the necessary service rooms, it con- tains twenty-six bed-rooms for girls, each room measuring 8 ft. by 12ft. 4 in. The purpose of the building is to classify the girls as well as to provide additional accommodation for the Scl)ool. Messrs. Martin and Hall, the architects of the build- ing, report as follows regarding the work accomplished in 1907, the foundation and basement walls having been built in 1906. ''The construction of the new Cottage at theOaklawn School for Girls has proceeded slowly throughout the year ; at the present time (December 31, 1907) the building is well along toward completion ; the plastering is finished and the carpenters are putting in place the wood trim and the floors. Painters will soon be at work and the building can be made ready for occupancy early in the spring."

Mechanics from the Workhouse and House of Correction in- stalled the steam heating plant. The plumbing and wiring for electric lights, bells, annunciators, etc. were done by mechanics and inmates of the same institution.

INSTALLATION OF MECHANICAL DRAFTS.

Three Mechanical Drafts have been installed by the Burke Engineering Company, one at the Hospital for the Insane,, one at the Sockanosset School for Boys and one at the Almshouse,

Digitized by VjOOQIC

BSPOBT OV THB BOARD. 18*

The Boiler House at the last named institution has been en- larged by moving the north-east wall twenty-three feet, add- ing, so much to the floor space of the building. This not only accommodates the mechanical draft but will afford room for two additional boilers should they be needed in the future. The four original boi'ers were retubed during the year. The pur- ^ pose of the mechanical drafts is to provide a means for the con- sumption of a smaller and cheaper kind of coal than it has been customary to use.

I11PR0V£MEKTS AT THJE 80CKANO8SET SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

A brooder-house, 16 by 20 feet, near the hennery, and a potting house by way of addition to the green-house, 10 by 14 feet, were constructed wholly by some of the boys of the School.

IKPROVEMKNTS AT THE STATE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSAKE.

Besides the mechanical draft mentioned above, the only construction work the past year at the Hospital for the Insane was the building of a section of tunnel for steam-mains and other piping.

ROAD BUILDING AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

The rebuilding of Brayton Avenue along the south side of the Oaklawn School grounds and the road leading from the avenue to the buildings of the School and spoken of in the re- port of last year as having been commenced, was finished dur- ing the year. The Avenue is 2818 feet in length; the central portion of it, 15 feet in width, is underlaid with large stone covered with broken stone and gravel well rolled.

A pond, 270 feet long, 100 feet wide and 6 feet deep, was ex- cavated the past year upon land recently purchased near the Pawtuxet River. Its purpose is to add to the means of providing ice for the Institutions.

PURCHASE OF LAND.

Three areas of land, aggregating thirty-two acres, were pur- chased in 1907 for $4,500.

One of the areas, bought of Walter E. Stafford and measur- ing twenty-flve acres, lies between the Pontiac Branch Rail- road and the Pawtuxet River, and with an adjoining area of six acres bought of Jonathan King extends the land of the In-

stitutions to the southward along the Pawtuxet River a considerable distance.

The other piece of land, bought of Julina Potter, con- tains about one acre with a dwelling house. It fronts on Pontiac Avenue nearly opposite the Prison and Jail.

patron.' Mrs. Mary E. Wood.

The total number of persons comniitted to the Workhouse and House of Correction in 1907 was 697. This number is less by 113 than tlie number committed in 1906. The decrease was due, in part, to the fact that non-support cases can now be committed to the Providence County Jail, an act having been passed by the last General Assembly making this possible.

Of the 597 persons committed in 1907, 232, or a little less than forty per-cent., were common drunkards, about the same percentage of this class of offenders as in 1906. The number of deaths was six, four less than in 1906.

The Executive Committee reports as follows to the Board :

^The discipline of the institution has been maintained at its usual high standard. The majority of the inmates are disposed to obey the rules. Only those viciously disposed get into trouble."

•'Several entertainments were given at the institution by outside parties for the benefit of the inmates. Catholic and Protestant services were held every Sunday. Mr. Frederick Bowman, of Providence, a lay reader from the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, held religious services Saturday afternoons and the first Sunday in every month. The Sisters of Charity have visited the women inmates twice every month during the year. "

^'Everything has been done for the general welfare and up- lifting of these unfortunate people, that was possible with the inadequate facilities furnished us. We have tried to make better men and women of them. Many have left us with the firm determination to break away from their old associates and environments and to live better lives. We know some have succeeded ; others have fallen an easy prey to their abnormal appetites and passions and were soon again traveling the road that leads to the Workhouse. We think that after taking into consideration our liberal probation laws, and other means of reformation used in behalf of these people before they are sent to us, we have reason to feel encouraged. The men of this

institution were employed during the year as usual in farming and in a variety of ways for the Institutions. The following are some of the items of their work reported to us:"

''A gang of painters was kept busy painting, papering and kalsomining at the Almshouse, the Superintendent's house, the Workhouse and House of Correction and at the Sockanosset and Oaklawn Schools. The farm wagons, carriages, farming-tools and implements have been painted as occasion required."

'^ About three acres of land on the Allen lot, so-called, near the Pawtuxet River, has been cleared of trees, stumps and stones and is now in good condition for tillage."

''During the year, J360 cars of coal were unloaded at the Prison siding with the assistance of the Jail forces. Three hundred and sixty-seven tons of coal were hauled from Warwick and one hundred and forty tons from Providence."

''A large crop of ice was cut and stored, the labor of cutting having been done by Workhouse and House of Correction labor."

''A new ice pond has been made by excavation near the Pawtuxet River on land recently purchased of Mr. Jonathan King and Mr. Walter E. Stafford. The pond is 270 feet long, by 100 feet wide and five feet deep. The soil here is wet and 601 days' labor were required for this work."

''The farm forces hauled fi-om the rail-road station at Oaklawn the structural material for the new building of the Oaklawn School and gravel from the gravel bank of the institutions for construction and grading for the same. A new main-pipe for the water supply of the building was laid by men of the Work- house and House of Correction."

"Owing to a cold, backward spring, and a long continued drought in the summer, the crops were not up to the usual standard, except the potatoes and late cabbages, which yielded a large crop of fine quality. Two hundred and fifty-five tons of hay of excellent quality were harvested. The second crop of hay, owing to the drought, was very light."

"The farm stock has been generally healthy. Four cows and four oxen were slaughtered for l)eef during the year; two of the cows were condemned by the physician as tubercular and were destroyed. The swine were free from cholera. Several hundred dollars worth of pigs were sold and a good deal of fresh

''The number of persons admitted (897) was 17 larger than in 1906. The number of births was three less than in 1906. The number of deaths was 28 larger than in 1906. (192 in 1906: 220 in 1907)."

"The conditions at the Almshouse remained practically the same throughout the year as existed at the close of 1906. The Institution is still overcrowded."

"Friends contributed during the year, as in years past, by visits, religious instruction, entertainments, etc., much to the pleasure of the inmates, for which we are truly grateful. In the summer a day's outing at Fields' Point was given to all of the inmates who were able and wished to be present."

STATE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.

Sup9rtni9nd9nit Dr. Arthur H. Harrington. 7>9puty Sttp&rini&ndenif Dr. George E. Simpson.

The Board submits in its entirety the following admirable report of Dr. Harrington regarding the condition and needs of Rhode Island's Hospital for the Insane, as he sees them after a long experience in hospitals for the insane in Massachusetts and five months administration here.

It is the desire of the Board and of Dr. Harrington to make our institution the equal of any elsewhere and Dr. Harrington points the way to this end.

We earnestly call the attention of the General Assembly to his report and trust that means will be generously provided for the purposes indicated in it.

Dr. G. Alder Blumer kindly permits us to use the following extract from the last annual report of the Butler Hospital, of which he has charge :

*'And here it is pertinent to attempt to dispel the popular error that the State Hospital at Howard is primarily a place of safe detention and not, what in fact it is, a hospital for mental diseases with medical functions and obligations not differing from those of Butler Hospital in essence, although its opera- tions may be otherwise conducted and its results otherwise achieved. The people of Rhode Island, and especially the med- ical profession, should not cease to keep this important func- tion of a State Ho.^pital prominently before those who hold the key to the public treasury, to tlie end that its door may swing wide open when appropriations are required for a class of sufferers whose necessities make so strong an appeal to the human heart. Be it ever remembered that no State was ever impoverished by making adequate provision — and nothing short of the best is adequate — for its dependent or partially dependent sick. The institution at Howard has secured the services of a well-known alienist and trained administrator who is bending to his task with energy and a brave spirit; but what Dr. Harrington needs more than anything else in these first days of his superintendency is the vigorous backing of an enlightened, thoroughly aroused, public opinion, ex- pressing itself in an insistent demand for everything that shall enable the State Hospital to hold high its head as in all

respects the peer of any institution of its kind in our country." Some of the wants of the Hospital for the Insane referred to by Dr. Harrington have been made known by the Board in previous reports, especially the urgent need of an administra- tion building. See report for 1902 and subsequent reports.

Ci M* ^oarei of Siaic Chariiics and Corrocitons*

Gentlemen : — I herewith present my report for the year ended December 31, 1907.

As I entered upon my duties as Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane on August 1., my administration covers the latter five months of the year just ended.

The number of patients admitted during the year 1907, was 390; this does not include tliose returned having been previ- ously paroled or having escaped and is the largest number admitted in any one year since the establishment of the Hospital.

The number of patients present in the Hospital at the close of 1907, viz., 992, was 14 less than at the close of 1906.

The largest number of patients present on any one day in 1907 was 1013, January 16th, and tlie smallest 964, November 17th. The daily average number of patients in 1907 was 990, which was smaller by 16 than the daily average number in 1906.

The number of deaths, 171, was eight more than in 1906. Between July 20th, of the past summer and October 15th, twenty cases of typhoid fever developed at the Hospital.

24 STATE CHARITIES AND COBRECTIONS.

Eighteen of the cases were inmates and two were employees. The State Board of Health was called in consultation. An ex- amination failed to disclose any pollution of our water, and, pending further investigation, no additional cases of typhoid appeared.

With this exception the general conditions of health among the eleven hundred patients and employees has been good.

The only construction work, the past year, has been the building of a section of tunnel for steam mains and other piping.

A forced draft system has been installed in connection with the steam boiler plant and is now in operation. This provides a means for the consumption of a cheaper grade of coal than it has been customary to use.

The average yield of farm crops is below that of last year, due to the exceptionally dry season. Potatoes, however, one of the crops upon which we are largely dependent, yielded far better than anticipated, and we shall probably have suflBcient to carry us over to next season. At the end of this report is a list showing the amounts of the various products of the farm.

STATE CARE OF THE INSANE.

State care of the Insane when it attains to the plane of the standard of to-day consists in providing all means for custody and treatment which experience has proved to be necessary, expedient and curative for certain persons, whose manifesta- tions of disease have been such that it becomes necessary and wise to commit them by legal process to a special institution supported by the State.

These means should be provided with a due regard for econ- omy, at the same lime bearing in mind what constitutes a true and a false economy in the care of the insane. For a measure may not show its value at tlie moment, but when gauged upon the broad grounds of humanity may mean life and health and happiness to the individual; it may be the means of restoring a citizen to the ranks of the bread-winner, and may in the end prove itself a saving to the State.

The primary unit in a system of State Care of the Insane is the State Hospital. Among the collateral and cooperative means by which a certain proportion of the dependent insane

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 25

may be provided for or kept under observation with advantage to themselves and with a saving to the State are the Colony System and the Family Oare System.

The State Hospital, physically, should comprise a central plant which for a number of reasons, one of which is economy, should provide for several hundred patients, and should consist of buildings of fire-proof construction, so planned and grouped as to admit of a proper classification of patients and each build- ing should be specifically adapted for the needs of each class.

The State of Rhode Island has already made a beginning in the right direction, for during the administration of the late Dr. George F. Keene the congregate dining-room was built. This seats 800 patients and compares favorably with any congregate dining-room in any of the hospitals for the insane in the country. A service building was erected containing kitchens, bakery and cold storage rooms. A central steam plant was also built with a capacity for furnishing light and heat to a large group of buildings, such as this hospital will comprise when the plans that have been suggested are carried out.

The character of these new structures conforms to the re- quirements of present day hospital construction for the insane.

The work, however, has paused here, and we have nothing which is worthy the name of an administration building. We have no quarters for nurses and attendants, except in such close proximity to the wards that their rest is often broken by the turbulence of patients. Moreover, we have not sufficient ac- commodations for all the nurses and attendants which the ser- vice requires.

The first and second Assistant Physicians have their private quarters outside of the immediate hospital premises because of the lack of accommodations for them within the hospital. This is a condition which is directly opposed to a proper system of hospital organization.

The Superintendent of the Hospital is not provided with con- venient or comfortable living quarters.

The number of patients which we are requiried to care for is already taxing the limits of the institution. A reference to the figures below, showing the growth of the institution from year to year, will indicate the necessity for prompt attention on the part of the State towards providing for the future, for with

Digitized by VjOOQIC

26 REPORT OF THE BOARD.

the growth of the State in population there will cornea relative increase in the number of the insane.

In order to perfect and maintain an organization which can properly carry on the work of caring for a thousand insane, which can give the best chance of recovery to tlie acute cases, which can guard against accidents and unfortunate occurrences, and which canafibrd the most comfort to the chronic cases, the physical plant and its equipment must be provided. Without these requisites the administration is placed in a false position, for the public looks for the best results whatever the conditions may be.

A comprehensive view of the work which should be continued at the State Hospital is implied in the foregoing, and the im- mediate needs of the Hospital to which I think the State should turn its attention at once are: — An administration building, a nurses' home, additional quarters for male attendants, a house for the Superintendent and separate provisions for insane criminals.

Our buildings are entirely unsuited in construction for the custody of the insane criminals, many of whom are dangerous and are constantly contriving methods of escape. It is an in- justice, also, to the non-criminal and innocent persons to be placed under an unnecessary surveillance in order that a few persons of the class of which I speak may be prevented from making their escape or committrng dangerous acts. I, there- fore, think that sej)arate buildings or wards should be provided and maintained in connection with one of the penal institutions for the purpose of caring for the insane criminals of tlie State. This department should not be located upon the grounds of the State Hospital.

PAROLES.

In the annual report of your Board for the year 1906, Walter R. Wightman, Agent of State Charities and Corrections, made the recommendation that the duration of temporary leaves of absence of patients from the State Hospital, which are granted under conditions prescribed by the Public Laws, should be extended from sixty days to six months.

I heartly concur in this recommendation. Sixty days is, in my experience in most instances, too short a time for a '^trial vis- it." If at the end of the sixty days the patient is discharged and

Digitized by VjOOQIC

BBPORT OF THB BOARD. 27

shortly afterwards it is found necessary to return the patient, a reexamination and another order of commitment from the Court must be obtained in order to place the patient in the Hospital again.

During the period when the parole is in force, the patient is still under the authority of your Board and can be returned at any moment without any formality. The knowledge of this fact often acts in a salutary manner upon the mind of the pa- tient and is in many instances a restraining influence.

While it is obviously necessary to set some time limit upon the parole, yet I think it should be made as long a time in the State of Rhode Island as experience elsewhere has approved. In Massachusetts this time limit has been extended from sixty days to six months, and I understand that the advantages de- rived from this change have exceeded expectation.

FAMILY CARE SYSTEM.

I have referred above to the Family Oare System as one of the collateral and cooperative measures entering into a system of State Oare of the Insane. In your report of last year, your Agent, Mr. Wightman, renewed a former recommendation '*for a la\^ permitting the Board of State Charities and Corrections to board out th6 insane of the quiet chronic class in private families."

I will say that I have had some experience with this system in the State of Massachusetts, having had under my charge a number of patients who from time to time I recommended as suitable cases for family care. As far as the patients so placed were concerned, I have seen this system act most favor- ably in the majority of instances with which I have been ac- quainted.

Released from the artificial restraint of the hospital they have appreciated the more natural, simple and free life of the home ; and I have occasionally known a patient to pass entire- ly from public support, as the result of being placed in a fam- ily and, finally, to obtain self-supporting employment.

A'S far as the State is concerned, there is an advantage, for every patient so placed makes room in the hospital for some one actually requiring hospital care. If such a system were adopt- ed in this State and in time from fifty to one hundred patients were boarded out, the State would have saved the expenditure

for the hospital construction which that number of patients would require.

Very soon the State will be forced to provide for additional numbers, and this system offers an outlet which will aid to some extent in preventing the crowding of the State Hospital.

I hope to see this system adopted by the State of Rhode Is- land at this session of the legislature.

At the present time these improvements are calling imperatively for accomplishment, and generosity at this time towards the State Hospital and the unfortunate wards of the State will in the end prove to be a measure of economy.

I desire to commend to your Board the Assistant Physicians and officers whom I have found here and who have given me their valuable aid and support during my first months of in- cumbency of this office.

REPORT OP THE BOARD. 81

STATE PRISON AND PROVIDENCE COUNTY JAIL. ii/ar€fen. Mr. Andrew J. Wilcox. 7>9j9uiy fi/artfen. Mr. S. Edmund Slocum.

The Warden makes the following report for the year 1907:

''In 1907, thirty-seven persons were committed to the Prison; thirty-six were discharged and one died. To the Jail were committed 1860 persons ; 1782 were discharged or transferred and two died. The average number in the two institutions, together, during the year was 480."

''Over two hundred of the men were employed remunera- tively in the manufacture of shirts and upon wire work. The remainder found occupation in farming, gardening and breaking stone and in various other ways about the Prison and Jail. Our object is to keep all employed, as we believe that nothing is more beneficial, mentally and physically, to persons under confinement than employment of some kind."

"The discipline during the past year was maintained at its usual high standard."

"The necessity for a new Jail to relieve our crowded condition and for other reasons, that were stated in my last report, still exists."

"The general health of the inmates during the year has been good."

"The Library has been kept in good order as usual and now numbers about 4200 volumes. The books are rebound from time to time, as required, by an inmate assigned to this work. If we could have a few volumes of modern works added to our library, they would be very acceptable. We have among the men confined at these institutions many who have trades, some who have partly a trade and others of a mechanical bent of mind, and I believe that it would be very beneficial to have in the Warden's oflSce works of instruction in the different trades and in mechanics, so that such men as the Warden considers would be benefited thereby might read them in their leisure time, and thus be better prepared to become useful members of society and to earn a livelihood upon their discharge from these institutions."

"While the quality of the crops raised upon the farm the past season was good, yet owing to the extreme drought during

the summer, the quantity was much smaller than usual. The crops raised amount in value to $8,000.00."

The Board approve especially the portion of the Warden's report in which he speaks of the great need of an enlargement of the institutions under his oare. They ask that reference he made to their reports for many years past, which set forth, most urgently, the necessity for additional accommodations.

SOCKANOSSET SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

Super/nieneieni/ (Duties of Superintendent performed by an Execu- tive Committee. See page 10.)

0epufy iSuper/nieneieni/ Mr. Ezekiel E. Gardner.

The number of boys at the Sockanosset School increased dur- ing the year 1907 from 838 at the beginning to 877 at the close. The daily average number was 861, which was two more than in 1906.

The number of commitments was 506, which was 109 more than in any previous year.

In their report for 1904, the Board spoke as follows regard- ing the need of additional accommodations at the Sockanosset School.

''At this institution the accommodations are far from ad- equate, as has been stated in the reports of the Board for some years past. There are five cottages having a capacity of fifty boys each. At least two additional cottages are imperatively needed for the proper care and instruction of these wards of the State. The school-rooms in tlie cottages have become full to overflowing. In the dormitories, beds have been placed near together and space for additional beds thus gained, but this has been done to the prejudice of the discipline and com- fort of the boys and possibly of their health."

Since the above was written, the average number of boys has increased from 844 in 1904 to 861 in 1907. On January 1, 1905, there were 381 boys in the school; on January 1, 1908, there were 377.

Instead of renewing their request for means to build two additional cottages, the Board now believe the better course would be to build one cottage and an eight-room school-house large enough to accommodate all of the boys. The present school-rooms, one in each cottage, wouhl, with one additional cottage, provide the needed additional sleeping accommoda- tions.

The larger number of school-rooms lliat would be i^rovided in a separate school-house would also enable the managemejit to grade the schools, which cannot now be properly done.

The following is from a report of the Executive Committee :

"The method of instruction that has obtained in our trades'

Digitized by VjOOQIC

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 35

school has been modified somewhat during the past year, making the effect more that of an industrial training school than formerly. This has been brought about by the reduction of the average periods of detention due to various causes."

**There is not a doubt that it would be profitable to the boy to remain in an industrial department of the school for a longer time than it usually takes to earn his parole, but we feel that we have obtained encouraging results even under existing conditions."

**We experience no difficulty whatsoever in getting places for the boys from our industrial departments in the best shops and manufacturing concerns of the State, and we think we may safely say that practically all of the boys released the past year, who were in our industrial departments, are working at their trades in the outside world."

*'While pursuing their trades' instruction here, the boys also attend one session of day-school."

**We believe that our corps of instructors and teachers are fully up to the standard established in previous years."

**The movement in the population of the School during the past year was as follows :

Committed for minority 218 boys

'* two years 59 ''

*' three years 6 ''

'' *' one hundred and sixteen days 1 *'

to await trial 272 ''

Returned to the School from the Prov. County Jail

by theBoard of State Charities and Corrections 10 '*

566 '' Number released 527 '*

**We believe there are few institutions of like character where so many have come and gone during the year. Our ex- perience teaches us that it would be better for the boys if all sentences to the Sockanosset School were for minority, unless sooner released by the Board."

AFTER CARE.

'*We believe that we have made marked improvements as regards the after-care of the boys during the past year. Our

Digitized by VjOOQIC

86 STATE GflARITIES AVD GOBRB0TIDN8«

instructors and officers have been employed at times in this work with good effect, not only by way of encouragement to the boy, who thus feels that there is somebody interested in him, observing him as a representative of the School, but, further, by giving the officers and instructors to understand that they, too, are expected to be in some measure respon- sible for the welfare of those who have left us. Moreover, the officers and instructors are thus brought in contact with the shop-owners with whom boys have been placed, and also in touch with their parents and guardians. Considering the great number of boys who pass out of the School upon probation, we doubt not that a very small percentage of them relapse, and in most cases the relapse is easily traceable to de- fective home influence and control. We do all in our power to encourage a boy after he has left us, by way of visiting him whenever it is found necessary to do so, and in every case do our best to keep him in the outside world, never bringing him back to the School until other means have been exhausted.''

SCHOOL OP LETTERS.

*'The methods employed in the school of letters remain about the same as in previous years, and no radical change was made in text books the past year, those in use being up to a very late date. We would advise changing our arithme- tics at an early period and using those that we have now for supplementary work only, as we do not feel that we can ob- tain good results, from an examination standpoint, from those in use, but deem them excellent for supplementary work."

*'We have received no additional books in our library dur- ing the past year, with the exception of the usual bound volumes of magazines, etc."

MILITARY AND BAND.

44n

'The Sockanosset Battalion has been kept up to the usual standard of discipline. Captain Malachy Kelley, who was con- nected with the militia of the State for many years, has con- tinued to serve as military instructor during the year, as form- erly."

*'The military feature is one of importance, as it is an ex- cellent aid to both discipline and physical improvement, but we feel that we could receive even greater benefit from it if

Digitized by VjOOQIC

BEPOBT OF THE BOARD. 87

we could have our military instructor a resident of the in- stitution and in constant service here. The Sockanosset School Oadet Band, of which we are justly proud, has not in any sense retrograded during the past year. There are some forty-five boys under instruction at different periods of the day, giving only a small part of their time to this practice. The full complement of the playing band is about twenty- five pieces. On account of the frequent changes, due to the discharge of cadets, it is quite a task to keep our band in good condition, but it is successfully accomplished through the re- markable work of our instructor in this department. The services of the band are, as formerly, in constant demand, but they are allowed to play elsewhere only on very rare occasions. They probably have been away half a dozen times during the past year. The compensation received (in all cases voluntarily given) has been used to keep the band supplied with standard music. We are in need of several new instruments and would recommend that $800 be asked for for this purpose. The old instruments may be used for beginners in their practice."

CHRISTMAg^

*'The Christmas observances of this year, while hardly equal to those of the five previous years, were seemingly much enjoy- ed by all. For the past few years, we have been the recipients of a substantia] cash gift from a member of the Board, to be used in the purchase of a Christmas present for each and every boy. This year we were without that gift and resorted to a former practice of allowing each boy two printed postal cards to be sent by him to his friends or relatives, in which he solic- ited some Christmas remembrance. The responses were gen- erous and about two hundred and fifty boys were supplied with presents from home. Our Christmas entertainment was fur- nished by home talent, and much credit is deserved by the teachers in preparing a very pleasing evening's entertainment on Christmas night, after which the presents were handed to the boys from a large tree set up for the purpose."

A VISIT TO Keith's theatre.

**An invitation was extended to the boys to visit Keith's Theatre and accepted Dec. 24th. Five cars were chartered to convey them with their officers and teachers to and from Prov*

idence. The expenses of transportation were defrayed from the surplus of a fund held over from last year, which had been contributed by a member of the board. There were three hun- dred and seventy-two boys in the party, only two having been left at home on account of sickness. There was not a sem- blance of chance for criticism of the deportment of our boys dur- ing the outing, and we can justly say that we were proud of them. The proprietor of the theatre is deserving of sincere thanks for his generosity and kindness to us and the resident manager and attendants for their courtesy and kindness."

HEALTH.

''The health of the boys during the year was very good with the exception of a scarlet fever epidemic, which kept us in quarantine for several months. Fortunately it had no un- happy results as regards the boys. Words cannot express our sorrow, however, at the fatal termination of the disease in the case of our instructor of blacksmithing, James H. Lewis, who died June 19th after an illness of three days. He was a faithful man in every sense and one who had the respect of all his as- sociates here."

CARPENTER SHOP.

"The value of the repairs done in this shop during 1907 is estimated at $1747.20 Beside this, we constructed a brooder house, 16 X 20 ft. near the hennery, and a potting house, as an addition to our green-house, 10 x 14 ft. Both of these build- ings were constructed entirely by boys' labor. We also made two articles of office-furniture for the Board of State Charities and Corrections and several pieces of mission-furniture for the institutions."

MACHINE SHOP.

''The repair work done here during the year is estimated at $1725.85 in value. This does not include work upon two new- lathes and a special lathe now under construction. This shop is busy most of the time upon repairs for the several institu- tions as well as for our own. We hope to construct a spiral drilling machine and to make a systematic overhauling of all the machines in the shop during the coming year."

REPORT OF THE BOARD. W

PRINTING DEPARTMENT.

''A careful estimate of the value of the work done in this shop during the past year amounts to about $2,500, which in- cludes, as in previous years, all printing for the St^te Insti- tutions in Cranston, and the oilices of the Board and the Agent of State Charities and Corrections in Providence. Here, too, is printed the report of the Board to the General Assembly, and our little paper, the Howard Times."

snoE snop.

''Work estimated at $1845.45 in value was done in this de- partment during the year, including all our own shoe repair work and also the greater part of the repairs of the State Hospital for the In.^ane. Considerable can be done by way of improvement in this department by installing a more modern line of machines and stands, such as are commonly used in shops at the present day, which could be done at very little expense."

MASON WORK.

''Work done here, estimated at $1103.10 in value, does not include any new work. The boys from this department built the brick partitions in the new building at the Oaklawn School and also did all of the mason work in connection with the in- stallation of the Mechanical Draft at the State Hospital for the Insane and at this Institution ; also, the foundation for the new brooder-house, and that of the potting-house above mentioned."

BLACKSMITH SHOP.

"Work estimated at $1893.45 in value was done in this shop during the past year. During the instruction period of our Mr. Lewis, who died in June, a general instruction along the line of tool forging was used. Under our Mr. Chambers, who succeeded to the position made vacant by the death of Mr. Lewis, we have added horse-shoeing and general jobbing instruction to that of the previous form of instruction. We have two boys who have done all of the horse and ox-shoeing of this institu- tion and two others who do all of the wagon ironing and re- pairing of wagons which was previously done at the Workhouse and House of Correction for this institution. We feel that

this class of boys has done exceedingly well during the past year.''

SEWING ROOM.

* 'Everything worn by the inmates of this institution, with the exception of under-flannels, is made in this department, and all the mending of clothing and bedding is also done here; so it can be readily imagined of what real benefit this department is to the institution."

46 8TATE CHARITIES AND C0RRECTI0N8.

The Executive Committee report as follows to the Board :

"The girls have been employed, in the forenoon, in the different departments, namely, — laundry, kitchen, sewing- room, chambers and garden.

There are three girls detailed to have care of the garden and the chickens through the season. In the afternoon, every girl is in school three hours, and we are safe in saying that greater progress has been made in the school work since the division of the school two years ago, much more time being given to each pupil than formerly.

Each girl has a flower-bed of her own to care for and disposes of the flowers as she pleases. The seeds and plants for these flower-beds are provided by a lady of Providence, who is much interested in the girls.

The discipline of the School has been maintained at its usual high standard and the health of the girls has been excellent.

All have attended religious services at the State Hospital for the Insane every Sunday, when the weather was suitable. The Chaplains, both Protestant and Catholic, have held services at regular intervals, as in years past, and the Sisters of Mercy have visited the girls once in two weeks, as has been their custom for many years. Their work has been very helpful.

The annual clam-bake was given on the grounds of the School on Aug. 29th. A number of guests, including members of the Board of State Charities and Corrections and of the Ladies' Advisory Board, with friends interested in the School, were present.

The usual Thanksgiving entertainment was given by the girls, also the Christmas entertainment followed by a Christmas tree. Each girl received a gift from the lady who provides the seeds and plants for the flower-beds.

The Thimble Club of Providence, as in years past, also sent gifts to each girl.

Two girls ran away Dec. 7th. They were soon apprehended and returned to the School, having been at liberty but about two hours.

In connection with their running away, the following, as re- lated by the girls upon their return to the School, may be of interest. It seems that they had planned to run away some

time previously, but there was to be an entertainment on Thanksgiving and both had prominent parts ; so they decided to postpone their departure until after the entertainment, as they did not wish to disappoint the teachers who had worked so hard for its success. The entertainment was given and was a great success and was said to have been the best ever given at the School. Mr. James F. McOusker, Chairman of the Board, was so much pleased with it that he made arrangements to have it repeated on the afternoon of Dec. 7th. The two girls, upon learning this, were very much disappointed, but after talking the matter over, decided that it would not be right to disappoint Mr. McOusker, so they decided to remain over the date set. The entertainment was repeated with quite a number of guests present, and as successfully as before.

At its close, after all the guests had departed, the two girls went up stairs, climbed out of a window to the roof of the porch and slid down the grape vine to the ground and to freedom. The alarm was given and they were soon apprehended and re- turned to the School, as above stated."

KENT COUNTY JAIL. C# M<r ^oard of Siato CAarii/os anti Corr00itmn9f

I have visited the Kent County Jail, according to the re- quirements of the law, and found everything satisfactory.

I would suggest agaifi, as I have in several reports of past years, the purchase, by the State, of a strip of land now owned by the Electric Light Company. One side of the Jail is very dark because the sheds of said company stand so close to it.

BRISTOL COUNTY JAIL.

Many repairs are needed on the Bristol County Jail, and it would seem, as a matter of economy, that they should be made at once ; if postponed much longer, it will mean additional ex- pense.

1j0 M# ^oard o/Siaie Charities and Cmrr^ciionsi

Gentlemen : — I have the honor to present ray report for the year ending December 31, 1907.

The wSuuday services have been held through the year with no change in the order of succession, or in the hours of service, at the several institutions. Occasionally, the service at the State Hospital for the In sane has been omitted on account of a severe storm, and for a few Sundays in the summer, the Ohapel at the House of Correction was closed for repairs. I have been person- ally absent from the field but one Sunday, for which I employed a competent supply. In no instance has there been a failure to meet an appointment on account of ill-health.

The order of service has been modified at several of the insti- tutions in the interest of a better adaption to the preferences or the needs of those who gather regularly for religious instruc- tion and worship.* This is especially the case at the State Hospital for the Insane. Here a simpler form has, in part, displaced the liturgy, and congregational singing has been in- troduced. The hymns, printed in attractive form, are distri- buted in the congregation and the voice of praise is now heard in every part of the Ohapel. Oongregational singing sometimes breaks down for lack of competent guidance. This want is here supplied by a volunteer choir made up of attendants and in- mates, some of whom, at least, have a knowledge of musical no- tation, and all are led by the Superintendent, Dr. A. H. Har- rington. It is proper for me to say that these changes have all been made in concurrence with the wise suggestions of Dr. Har- rington. As is well known to the Board, the pupils of the Oak- lawn School for Girls regularly attend this service, as has been their cui^tom for several years, and their singing continues to be an attractive feature of the occasion.

The service at the State Prison and Oounty Jail is second to none in it^ importance. Here our limitations are most keenly felt. Many of the men sent here are apparently confirmed in evil ways. This is the popular view. The Christian preacher and teacher, however, must be an optimist, or surrender his commis- sion. For the Lord Jesus Ohrist *'came to seek and to save that

which was lost.'* It is in no sense derogatory to those engaged in prison reform work to say that no merely human methods for ef- fecting the betterment of prison administration, and the per- manent reform of the prisoner's manner of life, can ever reach the root of the trouble. The truths of religion make the supreme appeal to both conscience and heart, and it is only as men are in- duced to yield to the claims of the higher law, with its infinite sanctions, that such as those whom we seek to serve can even be- gin anew life. I am happy to be able to state with assurance that with all the difficulties and frequent disappointments in this work, there are many evidences that good is done, and some at least go forth from time to time empowered to live more worthily before both Qod and man.

And what has been said above willapply equally to the prob- lem as represented at the Workhouse and House of Correction.

At the Sockanosset School for Boys, the liturgy, somewhat modified, is generally used. The boys are well trained in the musical parts by Mrs. Mabel Dawley. This service attracts many visitors. The element of worship is not wanting. Rev- erence for Gk)d and all the institutions of religion is taught. All virtues, expressive of morality and piety, are enjoined. These are of primary importance. But prominence is also given to the duty of self-respect; to the relation of personal upriglitness in character and life to success; and also to the demand <^f the age for the highest order of good citizenship.

At the Almshouse, formal religious services are held the first Sunday in each month. These are supplemented by brief services on other Sundays conducted by Mr. Frederick Bowman, in which the ritual of the Protestant Episcopal Church is used. During the week, hospital visitation and other pastoral minis- tration, including many funeral services, make up the sum of the Chaplain's labors.

The decease of Superintendent James H. Eastman was an event keenly felt in this field of religious work . He was seldom absent from any of the services in the institutions under his charge, or from that at the State Hospital for the Insane. Upon the organ and in sacred song he interpreted in touch and tone the deeper mysteries of musical composition and hymn; his voice retaining both power and sweetness to the close of his useful life. On the first Sunday in November last, a special

181 REPORT OP THB RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTOR.

memorial service was held in the Ohapel of the Sockanosset School for Boys, by order of the Board, at the request of the Ladies' Board of Visitors. The members of both Boards were present. The favorite hymns of Mr. Eastman were sung by the pupils of the two Schools and addresses, appropriate to the oc- casion, were made by the Hon. Walter A. Read, the Hon. Daniel R. Ballou and the Rev. R. K. Wickett, pastor of the Franklin Congregational Church at Howard.

I take pleasure in commending the faithful ministrations of my colleagues, the clergymen of the Catholic Church. They are held in high esteem by all in the institutions. Some changes have been made in the assignments to this field during the year: Father Buckley is still with us. Father Peloquin has returned to a parish, and is succeeded by Father Quinn who is ably assisted in the Sunday School at the Sockanosset School for Boys by a number of young men, members of the Brotherhood of St. Vincent de Paul.

In closing, permit me to record my appreciation of the uniform courtesy of the officers in charge of all the institu- tions, and especially of the very generous support and coopera- tion of the governing Board.

Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES H. EWER, Reliqious Instructor

Gbntlbmen : — ^I hereby submit my report as Resident Phy- sician of the State Workhouse and House of Correction, the State Almshouse, the Sockanosset School for Boys and the Oaklawn School for Girls, for the year 1907 :

WORKHOUSE AND HOUSB OP CORRECTION.

At the Workhouse and House of Correction there were six deaths, all males. No epidemics visited this institution during the year. The general health of the inmates is poor, and more than ever the fact is apparent, that the personnel of the inmates is rapidly changing; the greater number now being committed are at once the recipients of medical care. The sturdy inmate is more the exception than the rule, and in his stead comes tne tottering, chronic drunkard, the terminal dement, the epileptic and the feeble-minded youth, whose care involves a large out- lay of medical supplies. This condition obtains in both the male and female departments, and is a matter of considerable interest and import in its medical aspect. The presence of the insane and epileptic in this institution is a menace and a cauae of great anxiety, especially where they are kept in open dormi- tories at night.

The large number of seriously ill cases during the year has called for their removal to the hospital wards of the State Alms- house, which institution can ill afford to open its already over- crowded wards for their reception. Some of the inmates thus transferred remain after the expiration of their sentence, as their physical and mental condition unfits them for the outside life.

STATE ALMSHOUSE.

Of all the institutions this one makes the strongest appeal to human sympathy and compassion, for within its walls are gathered from every clime and station in life, those who have once seen better days, but who through sickness or misfortune have *'fallen by the wayside" in the struggle for existence ; for them this is the last resort. Broken in body and spirit they

come here ''to husband out life's taper to its close, " and spend what little time is allotted them, in the recipients of medical treatment and care.

The admission of a large number of aged, tuberculous and severely ill persons increased the death rate greatly, there having been 220 deaths, an increase over last year of 28; of these one-third died of tuberculosis in its various forms. This class of inmates is on the increase. The tuberculous wards are overcrowded nearly all of the time. Their bed capacity is forty, but, owing to the increase, we had t<) crowd in four additional beds on the male and three on tlie female side.

It is imperative that this class should not be limited in breathing space, and every inmate thus added to a crowded ward deprives all of so much of oxygen which constitutes their only chance of life. The health of tlie nursery department has been about as usual, no epidemics having appeared among the babies.

80CKAN0SSET SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

During the past year the school was visited with an epidemic of scarlet fever; eighteen boys and one officer were affected. While the majority of the cases were mild, yet some were of the malignant type with complications, and were seriously ill; none of the boys died. Unfortunately the officer, who had the fever in the worst form, died within four days of the onset of the disease. The cause of this epidemic was presumed tx) be due to visitors coming from the infected districts around us and mingling with the boys, as no other cause could be ascertained.

Two cases of typhoid fever developed, one complicated with erysipelas of the head and face; both of these cases made a good recovery. Apart from this epidemic the general health of the inmates was good.

OAKLAWN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

Nothing of special note occurred in this department during the year; from a medical standpoint, the health of the inmates having been as usual.

Sir: — I hereby submit my report as Resident Physician of the State Prison and Providence County Jail for the year 1907.

STATE PRISON.

The general health of the inmates has been good, but would be far better if they were wholly isolated from the Jail prisoners.

No epidemics have occurred, and since the closing of the deep artesian well not a case of typhoid fever has appeared. One death occurred, that of a prisoner who died of a cancer wuthin a few months of the termination of an eight year sentence.

One case of attempted suicide occurred, that of a young primary dement who cut his throat with a case knife while in his cell. The trachea being severed across made his case a Berious one. The wound was firmly sutured, the patient was placed in humane restraint in the hospital and for days was fed with a feeding tube; he made a splendid recovery physically, but mentally shows but little improvement, and has to be watched constantly. This class of inmates should not be con- fined in a State Prison where there are not the proper facilities for their care and treatment.

As mentioned in previous reports, there is urgent need for a criminal Insane Hospital or ward for the many mentally defec- tive and insane in the penal institutions. This class of inmates should find no lodgment in the wards of the curative insane hospital ; their presence is obnoxious, and detrimental to the welfare of those who may recover, and their care calls for a building specially adapted to their needs. There are enough criminal insane in the various departments to till a large ward whenever it may be erected.

At the Providence County Jail there were treated about the usual number of sick and broken down prisoners ; many of these being the chronic repeaters, out of Jail only long enough to get thoroughly ''run down" and diseased and then returning for medical treatment and care. This class of inmates compels a large outlay of medical supplies.

Two deaths occurred; one male and one female died from alcoholism.

188 REPORT OF THE PHYSICIAN OP THE STATE INSTITUTIOirS.

The need of a new Jail has been dwelt upon for years in every report. Repetition becomes tiresome, but at the risk of so becoming we urge again the needs of this greatly overcrowded iustitution.

REPORT OF WILLIAM J. WALLACE, PROBATION OFFICER FOR MEN AND BOYS OP THE CITY OF PROVIDENCE.

In the Sixth District Court, as well as in the other courts of the State, where the wise provisions of the probation law have been adopted, the results of probation have been most gratify- ing. With the increase of population, the work necessarily increases. In the course of the past year, three hundred and seventy boys, whose ages ranged from eight to sixteen years, guilty of various offences, from truancy to breaking and enter- ing, were placed on probation in the iuvenile division of the Sixth District Court.

Two hundred and forty men, sixteen years of age and upward, classed under the law as adults, were likewise placed in the custody of the probation officer. A large percentage of these cases were for non- support. Where reconciliations could not be effected, arrangements had to be made for weekly payments in proportion to the amounts earned and the immediate needs of the family. In this way many thousands of dollars were secured for mainteneuce of families of probationers. About six hundred^ dollars were collected for costs of court. Over one hundred boys, arrested and held as run-aways or suspects, were interviewed and sent to their homes.

In the last report mention was made of the serious handicap to the successful handling of many juvenile cases through the lack of a school of detention. Wherever juvenile courts are in practical operation, the detention house is considered an in- dispensable adjunct. As the work constantly increases from year to year, this need becomes more apparant, from the lack of any place in the State to commit temporarily children awaiting trial, or pending the disposition of their cases. While we have a good child-labor law, and excellent compulsory education laws, more specific legislation is needed to enable the district court judges to have jurisdiction of all cases per- taining to the delinquency and dependency of children.

Through the cordial interest displayed by our judges in their desire to promote the welfare of all juveniles coming under their official notice, we have been able to maintain the ex- cellent record, as shown in past years, of not surrendering for sentence more than five per cent of juveniles and ten per cent

report of margaret h. dennehy, probation officer for women and girls of the city of providence.

During the year 1907, one hundred and fifty-seven women and girls were committed to the charge of the Probation Officer for Women. Of this number, thirty -one were juveniles and forty-seven were between sixteen and twenty-one years of age.

Four, who had violatedtheconditionsof their probation, were surrendered to the Court and sentenced. Six cases against juvenile offenders were discontinued in the Juvenile Court, and seven cases against adult offenders were discontinued in the Sixth District Court on the payment of costs.

Eight young girls were placed as domestics in private families where in addition to fair remuneration they have the advant- age of Christian influence and considerate treatment.

Fourteen juveniles and twenty-two adults were admitted to private reformatory institutions in this State. Two young girls were placed in an industrial home in New York State.

Thirty-six women, who came to this city from other states, were sent to their respective homes. Some of these women were accompanied here by men known to be criminals, and there is no doubt the majority of them were of the class who eventually become public charges.

The remaining fifty-eight women and girls on probation live at home, helping to support their families and reporting to the probation officer at stated times.

One hundred and twenty-five dollars were collected in small sums to pay the costs of cases in the Sixth District Court.

As in past years, your officer works in cordial co-operation with the Lying-in Hospital, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and other kindred organizations, and with the Police Department, who place in her charge, until other- wise provided for, wayward and runaway girls and those with- out homes.

twenty-nine unfortunate young women aboyt to become mothers. Five of these women were sent to maternity insti- tutions in the states where they had a claim for aid.

Several young girls, held as witnesses in criminal cases in the District Courts, were placed in the custody of the Probation Officer for Women and kept in the Providence Rescue Home until their testimony was required before the grand jury and the Superior Court. This method of providing for witnesses of this class is certainly humane besides being a distinct saving to the State.

REPORT of THOMAS B. MAYMON, PROBATION OFFICER FOR THE CITIES OF

PAWTUCKET AND CENTRAL FALLS AND THE TOWNS OF

CUMBERLAND AND LINCOLN.

During the year 1907, four hundred and fifty-eight persons were in charge of the probation officer of the above named cities and towns under the jurisdiction of the Tenth and Eleventh Judicial Districts as follows : — Two hundred and ninety -four were old cases carried along from previous years, and one hundred and sixty-four were new cases, divided as follows: — One hundred and ninety-four men, forty-five women, fifty-six girls, and one hundred and sixty-three boys. The cases were disposed of as follows : — Of the one hundred and ninety -four men, the cases of twenty -one were discontinued, nineteen were surrendered to the Court and sentenced, and the case&of one hundred and fifty-four are now pending.

Of the forty-five women, the cases of nine were discontinued, four were surrendered to the Court and sentenced, and the cases of thirty-two are now pending.

Of the fifty-six girls, the cases of twenty-four were discon- tinued and the cases of thirty-two are now pending.

Of the one hundred and sixty-three boys, the case? of sixty- seven were discontinued, eleven were surrendered to the Court and sentenced, and the cases of ejghty-five are now pending.

Thirty-eight girls, twenty-one women and twenty -one boys were placed in good families or in private institutions. This course of aciion is taken only in cases where the home influence is not conducive to the future welfare of the probationer. The custom of rescuing juvenile offenders by giving them a chance

in respectable families, or in institutions organized to help and protect therti, is certainly commendable. A great many, personally known to the probation ofiicer, have been trusted and given a chance in such families or institutions, and as a result they are now respectable and trustworthy men and women.

Probation has come to be a very important and useful adjunct to the Courts. In many instances it is, and has been, bene- ficial to them, and to the police as well, in dealing with offend- ers. Success is certain to continue so long as the Courts, the police, and the probation officers work with confidence in each other. Anything that is done to improve the character, habits or conditions uf men, women, girls and boys, is surely for the public's good, and is also pleasing to the Court and all who represent it. A probation officer's duties are not confined to the Court only, for he must spend much of his time visiting and looking after the unfortunates in their homes; he is often re- quired to give such advice in the family as will bring together fathers and mothers and children ; or a wayward son is return- ed to his mother and, on mending his ways, his mother rejoices and the home is again made happy.

Non-support cases have presented many vexing problems the year past. • As was the case in former years, many men were placed on probation for neglecting to provide for the support of their wives and families.

During the year, nearly four thousand dollars were collected from men who had been placed under the care of the probation officer; much attention is required in these cases, that the chil- dren may not be allowed to suffer. Many reasons are offered by men by way of excuse in such cases, and sometimes the fault is not all that of the man.

Besides the many visits made by the probation officer, the probationers are required to report in person from time to time ; some call weekly, some fortnightly and some monthly.

During tlie year, one hundred and fifty-nine dollars were collected in small installments toward the liquidation of costs of court.

REPORT OF GEORGE L. SlfflTH, PROBATION OFFICER FOR THE FIFTH AND SEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.

During the year 1907, in the Seventh District Court, twenty- eight persons were placed in the custody of the probation officer, divided as follows: — Men, fifteen, boys, thirteen. A large proportion of the adults charged with non-support are now supporting their families, and, having paid the costs of Court, their cases were discontinued. Eight of the above total, twenty- eight, were sent from the State to their homes or peaces of settlement. With one exception, all the costs of Court were paid.

In the Fifth District Court, twenty-seven persons were placed in the custody of the probation officer, divided as follows: — Men, twelve, boys, fourteen, women, one. One of the above number, a boy eleven years of age, was surrendered to the Court for sentence; the cases of the remaining twenty-six were discontinued. With one exception all the costs of Court were paid.

In the Superior Court, eighty persons were placed in the cus- tody of the propation officer, divided as follows : — Men, forty- seven ; boys, thirty-three. A very large proportion of the pro- bationers in the Superior Court were young men between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one years, many of whom hadljfen in the State but a few days, having come from New Yr rk. The low rates on the Sound steamers running between Providence and New York bring a large number of passengers of the unde- sirable type, many of whom are subsequently brought before the Court, charged with petty crimes and bound over to await the action of the grand jury, and are held in jail from one to three months for want of bail. If their conduct is good while awaiting trial and no previous off ence is known, they are placed in the custody of the probation officer and returned to their homes.

were placed on probation as follows : — Juveniles, twenty-seven ; men, twenty-six; women, three.

The disposition of cases was as follows : — Cases discontinued, ten; cases pending, forty -one; surrendered for sentence, five.

Two men and one woman were sent out of the State.

One woman and one girl were placed at the Home of the Good Shepherd, the girl after having been given a trial at the Prov- idence Rescue Home.

Only a small amount(about seventy dollars)hasbeen collect- ed for the payment of costs of court, as most of the adult cases were continued.

During the year, about three hundred dollars were collected from those on probation for non-support and paid to their fam- ilies. This is a smaller amount than usual, because most of the probationers are now living with and supporting their families.

Of the old cases, seventy-six are still pending, forty-five have been discontinued, and nine have been surrendered for sentence.

On January 1, 1908, there were sixty-six men, six women, and forty-five juveniles on probation: total, one hundred and seven- teen.

Many cases, both adult and juvenile, are adjusted without ar- raignment in court.

CONSTRLX^TION^

ADDITIONAL COTTAGE FOR THE OAKLAWN SCHOOL.

This building, begun in 1906, was completed in 1908. It is partially furnished and will soon be ready for occupancy. It is described in the report of 1906, page 11.

NEW BUILDING AT THE STATE ALMSHOUSE.

A two-story stone building, 110 feet long by 28 feet wide, outside measurement, is now in process of construction by the mechanics and inmates of the in.4titutions.

The first floor contains a snjoking-room, 24 by 54 feet. At the north end of this room, a space, 6 feet io width, has been partitioned off for a water-closet and other purposes. Beyond this, at the north end of the building, are two rooms, the one, 13 by 21 feet, for a morgue, and the other, 10 by 21 feet, for an autopsy-room. These last named rooms are each reached from the yard by a separate door and are not connected directly with the rest of the building. They have a connecting door between them. At the south end of the smoking-room is a dining-room, 23 by 34 feet, with a pantry and a stairway leading to the second floor.

In the second story there is a dormitory, 24 by 76 feet, to contain fifty beds for men. At the north end of the dormitory are the bathtubs and water-closet and a linen closet. At the south end is a room for an attendant, 12 by 14i feet, and the stairway landing.

Under the head of ''State Almshcmse" are mentioned some repairs and improvements at the Almshouse, including a maternity-room and an infirmary in the nursery wing, and additional sleeping accommodations in the basement of the female wing, which is mostly above ground and well lighted. The latter are temporary, it is hoped, and are necessary because of the crowded condition of the institution.

HOSPITAL FOR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES AT THE S0CKAN088ET SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

This building, constructed of wood in 1908, is 120 feet long by 22 feet wide. It consists of two one-story wings, to contain each thirty-six beds, and a central building of two stories, hav- ing on the first floor a diet kitcheii and two bath-roo<ns, and on

Digitized by VjOOQIC

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 11

the second floor a sitting-room, two bed-room? and a bath-room. The wings are so made that the sides may be removed in sum- mer. The building was constructed, under contract, for $8,000, by David J. Barry, with the exception of the mason work, the plumbing and the painting which were done by mechanics of the institutions. Its total cost was $3,987.70. It is heated by its o.vn steam heater.

The class of the boys of the School who are under instruction in mason work built *'three fancy cobble-stone porches (there are four doors) which add very much to the effect of the build- ing from the outside."

The Hospital was built in haste to meet an outbreak of scarlet- * fever in the spring and is not yet fully furnished.

The location is to the southwestward of the other buildings of the School and about 800 feet distant from the nearest cottage occupied by the boys.

ALTERING BtHLDTNG IN' PRISON AND JAIL YARD.

A building in the Prison and Jail yard, measuring 48 by 26 feet, built of stone, with brick trimmings and slated roof, by inmates in 1885 for housing swine, but not used for this purpose the past two years, has been converted into a dormitory for forty-eight short-term men. This is referred to under the heading: Prison and Jail.

PURCHASE OF LAND.

An area of land measuring seventeen and one half acres was bought the past year of Job. S. Potter for $1,600. The laud borders on the Pawtuxet River and forms the present north- eastern corner of the land of the State on the eastern side of Pontiac Avenue. It has a frontage of about 500 feet on the river.

The territory of the State Institutions in Cranston now em- brace, 7567Vff acres bought in twenty-two separate parcels between 1869 and 1908 inclusive, at an average cost of $100.29 per acre and a total cost of $75,889.41. The initial purchases in 1869 comprised 398 acres.

The following table shows the size and cost of all the areas of land purchased for the State Institutions in Cranston;

REPORT OF TH« BOARD. 18

STATE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.

Superintendent: Dr. Arthur H. Harrington.

7>eputy fSupt. Dr. George E. Simpson.

Appended liereunto are a large number of tables containing information regarding the patients at the State Hospital for the Insane which are given for the first time in thes*' reports and will be of interest and use to alienists and students of social science.

From the report of Dr. Harrington :

STATISTICAL INFORMATION.

"It is the universal practice for Hospitals ior the Insane to publish statistical information annually ami it is needless to say that this practice should be followed in our Static

The tabulations hereunto appended aim at complete statistical information concerning all patients a<linitt(^d, and have economic, sociologic and medical l>earings.

While caution is to be exercised in forminj; opinions based upon the comparatively small tiumber of cases of a single yetir, we are warranted, after collecting the data tor a term of years, in deducting certain d<»finite conclusions; for instance, after having determined the average duration of h()s])ital n^sidence of all patients treated in our Strife, we are in a position to compare this unit with that of tlu* average duration of residence in other hospitals and states.

The percentage of recoveries and restorations, the ratio of relapses and many other facts which can be gathered from such ^tables furnish a basis for forming a conclusion as to whether with our expenditures for the care of the insane our results compare favorably or unfavorably with other places. With such data, furthermore, we obtain aids which enable us to dis- cover and to trace what elements pertain to our conditions which may be present or absent in other localities and to cal- culate to what extent results are affectcnl by our own conditions. The antecedents and characteristics of our population, the occupations of our people, the influence of the state of aflfairs in the commercial world may be found to have a definite bear- ing upon the ratio pf the insane t-o the number of inhakitanta (kf tbo state.

14 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

The relative frequency of the varying forms of insanity may have a significance, when viewed from a medical stand- point, which may lead to the adoption, from time to time, of certain measures directed not only to the treatment of mental diseases but perhaps to their prevention to some extent in our community.

These few observations alone render it clear, it seems to me, that we should set about collecting these data in our own case without delay.

The smallest number of patients present on any one day in 1908 was 990; the largest, 1049. The daily average number of patients for the year was 1024 which exceeds the daily average for the previous year by thirty-two.

The numbers of deaths, 121, was fifty less than the preced- ing year.

Of the 845 oases admitted, 116 were natives of Rho<le Island and sixty-seven natives of other states of the Union. One hundred and fifty four were born in foreign countries. The birthplace of eight were unknown.

Concerning the birthplaces of the parents of the Mo cases admitted, fifty-five fathers and forty-four mothers were born in Rhode Island. P'orty fathers and forty-two mothers were natives of other parts of the United States, while 226 fathers and 23^3 mothers were foreign born. The birth-places of twenty-four fathers and twenty -four mothers were un- known.

The average duration of the hospital residence of all persons discharged and died was 2 years and 5i months.

Of the total number of 126 cases discharged by your Board and also sent from the State, forty-five, or thirty-five per cent., were regarded as recovered.

The percentage of recoveries based upon the total number of committed cases was thirteen per cent. Also thirteen per cent, of the total number of committed cases were discharged improved.

We have done no construction work during the past year. Attention has been given only to such repairs as were absolutely necessary, but there has been need of repairs for

which we have not had the force of workmen nor the means to carry them on.

0IPT8.

**We are indebted to the following persons among the friends of the Hospital who have sent ns gifts :

From Mr. Walter K. Wightman we received candy and cigars for the patients' summer outing.

From Mrs. A. R. French, flowers for the wards.

From Mrs. Frank H. Nottage, magazines and Christmas wreaths.

From the Women's ('hristian Temperance Union, fruit and flowers.

From Mrs. B. B. Hammell, Christmas presents for patients.

From Mrs. J. William Rice, magazines.

We are especially indebted to the efl'orts of Mrs. Horatio N. Reynolds who interested a number of persons in contributing to a subscription fund for the purchase of a Victor Talking Machine for the patients. As the result, we now possess a Victor Talking Machine and a number of records. The ma- chine is in daily use upon our wards and has proved a source of delight and entertainment to the patients.

We gratefully acknowledge our thanks to all who have con- tributed in any way to the happiness and comfort of our patients.

AMUSEMENTS AND ENTERTAINMENTS.

'^There have been weekly dances for the patients through- out the year with the exception of the hot summer months.

August 28th, 120 patients were given a shore dinner and outing at Palace Gardens.

October 15th, a piano recital was given in the congregate dining-hall by Mr. Raymond L. Havens, assisted by Mrs. Evelyn Johnson, vocalist; Miss Muriel Haslaiu, elocutionist; and the Hospital Orchestra.

October 31st, there was a Halloween Party, at which were exhibited in the Assembly Hall various products of the farm, and a play was given, the cast of characters being composed of Hospital officers and employees, also an exhibition in presti- digitation by Prof. Woodhead.

On Thanksgiving evening a Sheet and Pillow-case Party was

16 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

On December 15th a band concert was given in the congre- gate dining-hall by the Palestine Band at which Miss Clara Harry assisted as violin soloist.

The Hospital Orchestra has been assisted frequently during the year by Mr. Herbert Wygatt and by Deputy Dodge and members of the Howard Orchestra. Misses Esther and Mamie Johnson have assisted us in our musical programs. All who have contributed to the above entertainments have given their services voluntarily.

Amusement and entertainment constitute features of treatment in hospitals for mental diseases. Practical exper- ience proves that they are factors of great importance. We have seen patients by these means relieved of a load of men- tal depression, and the minds of patients brightened whose tendencies were towards inactivity and mental sluggishness.

MEDICAL STAFF.

^'I wish to thank the Board for providing two additional permanent members on the medical staif, thus allowing four permanent assistant physicians instead of two as formerly.

When we pause to consider the amount of detail which enters into the care of a single patient from the time such patient enters the hospital, the necessity of an experienced and numerically sufficient medical staff to care for our patients, over one thousand in number,- it seems to me, is readily apparent.

The preliminary physical and mental examination of each newly admitted patient, when properly carried out, cannot be performed in less than six hours.

It is the intention that every patient in the hospital shall be seen by a physician at least once each day. More than half our number of i)atients are seen twice each day and certain cases even often or.

The changing conditions of the patients from day to day must be carefully observed by the physician and it is essen- tial that a sufficient record be made of every case to give a picture of the progress of the disease from the time of enter- ing the hospital to the time of discharge. Every complaint made by a patient must be thoroughly investigated. The medical stalF must be ready at all times to give detailed in- formation in regard to the patients to their friends, Oorre-

RBPOKT OF THE BOARD. 17

spoiidence concerning patients is a detail which consumes con- siderable time. This statement will satisfy any inquiring mind that your Board acted wisely in recognizing the neces- sity for increasing the number of vhe medical staff.

There is another consideration to be taken into account in this connection. In our classificationof patients we are obliged to exercise care not to relegate them in our minds to the chronic class simply because they have been hospital residents for one or more years. With the demands which the care of incoming cases create, there is danger that cases of long continuance may be overlooked, because it is physically impossible for a medical staff*, unless numerically sufficient, to give needed study to the older cases.

I have seen surprising recoveries, in a comparatively large number of instances, in patients who have been hospital residents for several years. In the course of mental diseases, favorable results sometimes, unexpectedly come about. It must not be forgotten that individual treatment of those mentally afflicted is what counts in promoting recovery, or sufficient res- toration, to allow the patient to leave the hospital. Every patient discharged relieves the State of a certain amount of burden.

No less an authority than Dr. Frederick Peterson, formerly President of the Commission in Lunacy of the State of New York, states that the ratio of assistant physicians in state hospitals for the insane should not be less than one physician to each 160 patients.

NEKDS.

*'I believe it is desirable that there should be a regulation by which every female patient when being conveyed to the State Hospital for the Insane by an officer for the purpose of being committed thereto, if not accompanied by a member of her family or a female friend, should, aside from the officer, be accompanied by a woman engaged for the purpose, if necessary, and whose compensation for this service should be provided for by law.

In former reports the "'Family (^are System" has been referred to. I believe it was first brought to your notice in an official report of your Agent, Mr. Wightman.

Xb my report of a year ago X pointed out some of the ad-

vantages which I believe the State might derive from the adoption of this system.

In the official report for th(» year 1907 of the State Board of Insanity of Massachusetts, where the Family Care System has been in operation since 1885, I find that the Board has placed 887 different patients at board in families. 187 c»f these patients have passe<l out of public support in the following ways: Discharged self supporting, eighty-one. Discharged to care of friends, thirty-one. Self supporting on visit, eight. Self supporting in families, thirty-five. Boarded with friends with out public expense, sixteen. Became private patients, sixteen.

It is not improbable that a large percentage of cases which pass from public care through the means of the Family Care System would remain at the hospital for, perhaps, the re- mainder of their lives, did not this system afford them an opportunity t^) return to tiie world once more.

A discussion of the advantages of such a system would command more space than the limits of this report allow. I take this opportunity to bring the matter to your attention again.

THE RELATION OF THE STATE TO THE INSANE.

'^The state in assuming the care of the insane has taken upon itself the responsibility of dealing with a social problem which is to-day a foremost one in ail our commonwealths.

Accordingly as the State keeps pace with the generally recognized standard of the times will she be judged as rir^ing to these responsibilities. The State cannot afford, even on material grounds, to ignore her respcmsibilities towards the insane and she cannot allow herself to be apathetic in this regard w^ithout neglecting a sacred duty.

The day is past when mere isolations of the insane, the comfortable housing of them and providing them with the necessities of life, suffice to meet the standards of the enlight- ened medical practice of to-day.

The current belief that the insane are and always will be helpless indigents, who are to be sequestered from society as completely as possible for the remainder of their lives, is refuted by the fact, leaving the deaths out of consideration, that thirty-seven per cent, of the number admitted to the hos- pital during the five year period ending December 81st, 1007,

REPORT OF THF BOARD.

have been discharged, many of them recovered or restored to the extent that they have again taken their places as bread- winners in the ranks of society.

Ten per cent, of the patients in the State Hospital .for the In- sane are able to pay a nominal rate for board, and, for the year now ending, the total amount of the receipts fnnn paying patients is J|;20,499.60, all of which has gone into the main- tenance fund and thus assists the State to that extent in the support of the Hospital.

While we care for many insane who are indigent, yet prac- tically fifty per cent, of the cases admitted each year are public charges only for the time that their disease requires that they be retained in the Hospital. The State Hospital is their only resort in the time o£ their mental distress. A prominent citizen may experience financial reverses. A sickness with mental manifestation may require that he be treated in a hospital for the insane. He may not be able to pay even the minimum rate of a private retreat. Where shall his friends turn to but the State Hospital? At such a time he needs everything which science can ccmimand and a watchful care provided to aid in his possi Die restoration. The State should become the personification of Hope to such an one by providing with generous liand for all his needs.

1 desire to make acknowledgement of my appreciation of the services of all who have labored for the intere.^ts of the Hospital."

STATE WORKHOUSE AND HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

iSup0rini0nti0nh (Duties of Superintendent performed temporarily by an Executive Committee of the Board.)

7)0puiy 6vpTini0nti0nU Mr. Tiiuothy p. Dodge.

^airon.' Mrs. Mary E. Wood.

The number of persons committed to the Workhouse and House of Correction in 1908 was 668, an increase of 66 above the number in 1907, which was smaller by 113 than tlie number committed in 1906. The daily average number in the institu- tion in 1908 was 260; in 1907 it was 287.

Of the 663 persons committed in 1908, 282 were common drunkards. The number of deaths was eight; in 1907 it was six.

The Executive Committee reports as follows to the Board :

''The discipline during the year has been excellent. Thir- teen men and six women were punished at different times by being locked in a dark cell. In no instance was punishment inflicted unless abpolutely necessary for maintenance of disci- pline, and not until all other means had failed.

The mechanics of this department have been employed in part as follows: In addition to the regular repair work, our mechanics have put in, at the Almshouse, a toilet room in the female basement and a lying-in-room and an infirmary in the Cottage or Nursery. We have in process of construction at the Almshouse, a stone building about two-thirds completed, 110 feet long by 28 feet widf- and two stories high. This work is mentioned also under the heading of ''Construction*' and "State Almshouse."

Our paint-force has thoroughly renovated the cell rooms, wards, halls, cook-room, bakery, flour- room and oflicers' quart- ers at the Workhouse and House of Correction. At the Alms- house, the rooms which were remodeled have been painted and varnished, the wood work in both male and female wings has had a general touching-up and every inmate's bed has been re- enameled. For the Sockanosset School, we painted the hospital and adjoining rooms, after the quarantine was raised, and the new Hospital for Contagious Diseases inside and out. At the Oaklawu School, all the painting of the new Cottage, including

REPORT OP THE BOARD. 27

finishingof floors, ceilings, walls, etc., was done by our painters. In addition to the above, many farm implements, carriages, wagons and tools for this and other departments have been painted and kept in good repair.

FARM WORK AND IMPROVEMENTS.

''Five and one-half acres of land on the Allen lot, near the Pawtuxet River, have been cleared of stumps and rocks and put into crops. One hundred and seventy-two car-loads of coal were unloaded at the Prison-siding by farm labor and 281 t^ms of coal were hauled from Cowesett. All the stone used in building was quarried, by farm labor, from our fields. The new ice-pond, near the Pawtuxet River, spoken of in the report of 1907, has been enlarged from 270 feet in length by 100 feet in width to 470 feet in length by 118 feet in width. We cut and stored 500 tons of ice of good quality from this pond, to- gether with 800 tons from the old ponds near the Prison.

Two gangs, including the mason force, did considerable work on the new Cottage at the Oaklawn School. They built the foundation for the Hospital for Contagious Diseases at the Sockanosset School, and, since May 5th, have been employed on the new building at the State Almshouse. Farming, in general, was quite satisfactory, as our report of crops raised shows.

The health of our live stock has been excellent; our herd of swine has been free from cholera, and, besides furnishing fresh and salt pork for the families and inmates of the Institu- tions, $756.50 was realized from the sale of pigs.

Religious services, both Protestant and Catholic, have been held in the Chapel each Sunday during the year. Mr. Fred- erick Bowman, of Providence, a lay reader from the Brother- hood of St. Andrew, has, a§ in years past, held religious s^^rvices in the Chapel Saturday afternoons and on the first Sun- day of every month. Sisters of Mercy have visited the female inmates several times monthly during the year and their kind words have been much appreciated. In closing, we wish to acknowledge our gratitude to those who have contributed read- ing matter, to those who have given their services at several entertainments during the year for the benefit of the inmates, and to many other kind friends."

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 31

STATE ALMSHOUSE.

^mpT/nUntient' (Hu^i'^H of Superintendent performed temporarily by an Executive Committee of the Board.)

7)0puiy 6wp0rtnienti0ntf Mr. Ana L. May.

The number of inmates increafied during the year from 484 at the beginning to 527 at the close. The daily average num- . ber in the institution was 515; in 1907 it was 507.

The number of persons admitted (408) was larger by eleven than in 1907. The number of births (17) was two larger than in 1907. The number of deaths (190) was smaller by thirty than in 1907.

In the year 1888, when the plans for the present State Alms- house were prepared, the average number of persons in this institution was 211. The new buildings were planned to accommodate 860 persons including children.

Your attention is called to the report of the Physician of the Institutions who speaks plainly regarding the great need of added room and conveniences for the proper treatment and care of the inmates of this institution who require hospital treatment.

The Executive Committee reports as follows:

*'The overcrowded condition still exists in this department. It is necessary to utilize* every foot of available space for sleep- ing accommodations on both the male a!id the female wings. The hospital for tubercular jiiale patients is crowded to its limit and a section has been set apart, in the basement, for sleeping apartments for those patients who cannot be accommodated in the hospital proper. The hospital for tubercular female patients is not, at the present writing, so crowded. A new building for male tubercular patients, now under construction, is described under the head of * 'Construction" on page 10.

IMPROVEMENTS.

'*In the Nursery, transoms have been put in over each room door, giving more light and better ventilation. The sheathing, which was conducive to the breeding of vermin, has been re- moved from each room and plain plastered walls with cement base have been substituted. An up-to-date lying-in-room has been fitted up for this department, also an infirmary. In the basement of the female wing several rooms with toilet have

been fitted up as sleeping quarters, and will accommodate about thirty women. See ''Construction," page 10. The usual amount of painting has been done and all the ward, halls, etc., are in good and sanitary condition.

We wish to extend our thanks to all kind friends who, by word or deed, have made life brighter for these poor unfortu- nate people at our State Almshouse."

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 88

STATE PRISON AND PROVIDENCE CX)UNTY JAIL. Warden: Mr. Andrew J. Wilcox. deputy Warden.- Mr. S. Edmund Slocum.

The Board approve what is said by the Warden, in his report printed below, regarding the need of a new Jail. Tlie statistics given by the Warden show that the present aeconimo- dations are wholly inadequate for the safe and proper care of the criminals entrusted to his charge. The crowding of the Jail is a very serious matter and it has been more or less so for a long time.

As long ago as 1889, the Board called the attention of the General Assembly to the need of additional accommodations at the Jail, mentioning the necessity at times of confining several inmates in the same cell at night. The largest of the cells have a floor area 8 feet square, and as many as four persons have been obliged, unavoidably, to pass the night together in them (See Report of 1889, p.26).

In 1893, the numbers in the Jail became so large that the Board, acting with the advice of the Attorney General, caused to be erected in the yard of the Prison and Jail a wooden build- ing for temporary use, at a cost of about $3,000, although there was no appropriation for the purpose. The General Assembly was not in session at the time. This building, which was in- tended to shelter temporarily 132 short-term men in three tiers of bunks, is still in use.

In 1894, the Board presented an outline plan for a new Jail to cost about $800,000, and they were authorized to construct it; but this authority was annulled in 1896 on account of large de- mands upon the State Treasury for the construction of buildings elsewhere in the State and the authority to construct the Jail has never been renewed.

The plan of the Board included accommodations for insane criminals, regarding whose care Dr. Harrington, Superinten- dent of the State Hospital for the Insane, wrote as follows in his report of 1907, page 26.

*^Oiir buildings are entirely unsuited in construction for the custody of the insane criminals, many of whom are dangerous and are constantly contriving methods of escape. It is an in-

justice, al8o, to the non-criminal and innocent persons to be placed under an unnecessary surveillance in order that a few persons of the class of which I speak may be prevented from making their escape or committing dangerous acts. -I, there- fore, think that separate buildings or wards should be provided and maintained in connectitm with one of the penal institutions for the purpose of caring for the insane criminals of the State. This department should not be located upon the grounds of the State Hospital for the Insane."

In 1908, the stone building in the Prison and Jail yard, in which formerly swine were kept, but iiotused for this purpose for the past two years, was converted into a dormitory to accom- modate forty-eight men. Such are the expedients to which the Board have been forced to resort, and these expedients have in- creased the sleeping accommodations only. Since 1896, in each report, the Board have called the attention of the General Assembly to the needs of the Jail and have asked for a renewal of the authority to build, that was annulled in that year. In the report for 1897, page 20, may be found an urgent plea for a new Jail, written by the late Hon. Ellery H. Wilson, then a member of the Board.

The Warden makes the following report for the year 1908:

*'During the year, high-water mark, as regards the number of inmates in these institutions, was reached. On September 30, 1908, we had a total of 585 conlined in the Prison and Jail, com- pelling us to place several men in each of many of the cells of the County Jail, and also to overcrowd the buildings constructed for temporary use. Within the past year, fifty were committed to the Rhode Island State Prison and thirty-nine were dis- charged; three were pardoned and three died. There were committed to the Providence County Jail 2,134 persons and 2,097 were discharged. The total number committed to both institutions was 2,184, and 2,142 were discharged. There were thirteen more committed to the State Prison than in 1907, and 284 more were committed to the Jail than in 1907, making a total of 297 more committed to the Prison and Jail, during the year 1908, than in 1907, resulting in a daily average of persons confined, in both institutions, of 100 (nearly twenty-four per cent.) more than the year previous.

INDUSTRIES.

**For the past year our industries have been practically the same as the year previous, being divided between the manu- facture of shirts and wire goods, farming and the care of the buildings and other property.

NEW JAIL.

"1 desire to impress upon your Honorable Board the great need of a new Jail. This I have recommended before in my annual reports, but it has now become almost an absolute necessity, from the standpoint of morals, discipline and ideas of reformation.

The best of results in the management, handling and reform- ation of prisoners, can never be realized until the Jail is in a building separate from the Prison, and a cell is provided for each inmate. It is also very desirable, from every point of view, that suitable quarters should be supplied for the accom- modation of persons committed for debt (under civil process) and of witnesses held, instead of confining them with prisoners who have been sentenced and are serving terms for crime. This could be readily provided for in a new Jail.

LIBRARY.

^The library has been kept in good condition by keeping the books rebound and by binding the magazines and other periodicals. I recommend that a small sum be used each year in the purchase of a few, desirable modern books, which would tend to stimulate a somewhat greater interest in the library.

NIGHT SCHOOL.

'^During the winter months, as has been the usual custom, the night-school has been held for the benefit of the more illiterate prisoners who desire to attend, and we cannot but feel that a great deal of good is accomplished in thus enabling prisoners who are ambitious to learn, to secure some education in the elementary branches, which will undoubtedly assist them materially in procuring positions and becoming more useful persons upon their discharge from this institution.

HOLIDAYS.

**0u holidays, during the summer months, the prisoners have

86 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

been allowed the use of the yard and to indulge in games and exercise. In the winter months, entertainments have been held for the benefit of the prisoners in the chapel, selection having been made of entertainers from among the inmates, and we have been greatly assisted by many kind friends from the outside, who have given their time, gratuitously, to bright- en the lives of those held in confinement.

FARM.

''During the past year, the crops upon the farm have been very satisfactory, large amounts of produce having been raised, as the accompanying statistics will show. The value of a farm connected with an institution oc this kind cannot be over- estimated. The vegetables from the farm tend to keep the men in good health and to reduce expenses, and outdoor em- ployment ir? provid m1 for a certain class of prisoners to whom it is admirably adapted.

HEPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

''During the year, many repairs have been made, such as pointing-up the Prison walls upon the outside, repairing and building bridges, shingling and fitting up a building in the yard for the temporary housing of about forty-eight men, which has somewhat relieved our crowded condition.

DISCIPLINE.

"The discipline, for the past year, has been maintained at its usual high standard, which is somewhat diflScult, owing to our crowded condition and the absolute necessity of placing several men in a cell.

I wish to express my appreciation of the aole and courteous manner in which the Chaplain, Officiating Clergymen, Phy- sicians and Officers of this institution have aided me in the performance of the multitude of duties devolving upon me in the conduct of this important dual-institution.

I desire to thank your Honorable Board for your constant support and hearty co-operation, as well as for the many cour- tesies extended during the past year."

The Executive Committee reports as follows :

''The number of boys at the Sockauosset School decreased from 377 at the beginning of the year to 372 at the close. The daily average number was 386, which w^as larger by twenty -five than that of any previous year. The number of commitments was 462, and 467 were discharged during the year."

During the past year the need of additional accommodations has been felt more than ever before, on account of the large increase in the daily average. The congested condition of the dormitories must, of necessity, be a menace to health, and the crowded condition of the school-rooms make it an almost im- possible task for the teachers to accomplish the results re- quired of them in order to conform to the requirements of the school system of the State. Most of the teachers have twice the number of pupils to be found in any school-room in the State. Considering the facilities and support at liand, we know that the results at the Sockanosset School compare favor- ably with those of similar institutions in other States.

The institution is purely an Industrial School, Ai)d its object is solely to instruct the boys in the proper use of their faculties in a line that will enable them to earn an honest living, or, in

the case of the younger boys, to go back to the outside world, more able and willing to acquire and maintain their proper status in the community.

The question of how to uplift morally and develop mentally the juvenile delinquent, of .the present day is an absorbing topic which is being discussed with a great deal of interest by 6ur National Society of Charities and Corrections.

SCHOOL OP LETTERS.

"We conform as strictly as is possible in our present con- dition to the methods obtaining in the Providence Public Schools. We have changed our arithmetics during the past year to some ])etter adapted to our needs and from which we are able to promote a better system of teaching. We are using a few of our old ones in each school for supplementary work, for which purpose we find them excellent. We would recom- mend a change in readers in the near future to a graded system with definitions, in preparation for our school building. We have also in mind a preparation of a system of language study, which would include penmanship, and would be used, together with it, as a more attractive method of study.

In the proposed new school-building, of course, we shall follow strictly the graded system of study, and a better plan will be devised for teaching those who are more or less de- ficient mentally, which the present crowded condition of the school-rooms, in a measure, precludes.

Our school library has been augmented during the year only by the bound volumes of magazines and mechanical periodicals which are yearly subscribed for.

MILITARY AND BAND DEPARTMENT.

''The Sockanosset Battalion has been kept up to the usual standard of discipline. The permanent employment of a resi- dent military instructor, in the person of Andrew I. Dennegan, has been a means of improvement in this department, inasmuch as the needs of the department require constant attention. This change was brought about by the inability of the visiting instructor, Captain Malacby Kelly, to give his whole time to

the work. We get good results from this department and it is an excellent aid to physical development.

Our band, under the excellent instruction of our teacher, has upheld its usual good reputation. We have some forty- seven boys under instruction two hours each day. About twenty-fiveof this number comprise the regular playing band.

We have purchased only three new instruments during the year, and probably will not need more than that number during the coming year.

We played for outside parties only three times during the past year. The Board of State Charities and (Corrections were obliged to curtail this privilege on account of very frequent applications for the services of the band upon various occasions.

CARPENTER SHOP.

*'We have a class in architectural-drawing in this depart- ment which is giving the boys a fair idea of making their own drawings of work to be done, and is also teaching them to work from drawings.

MACHINE SHOP.

**We have a class in mechanical drafting in this department where all drawings for lesson or repair work, of whatsoever nature, are made.

BLACKSMITH SHOP.

"The estimated value of repair work done in 15)08 in this department for the Institutions is $2,085.05. This work is done outside of the hours given to instruction, or class work, and includes a general line of necessary repairs.

PRINTING DEPARTMENT.

'**The estimated value of work done in this department for the Institutions during the past year was $2,408.25. This in- cludes the printing of the annual report of the Board of State Charities and Corrections, but does not include work done upon the semi-monthly issue of the Howard Times.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

'*We have increased the number of boys in this department and have made it more instructive, as we depend upon it for all electric and steam fitting repairs about the School. This department installed the steam heating and lighting apparatus in the new Hospital for Contagious Diseases of the School.

BARN AND FARM DEPARTMENT.

*'An itemized statement of crops raised will be found else- where in this report. We believe that we have made progress in this department. • With the exception of the potato crop, we met with fair success. The dry period, during the summer, prevented a full crop of potatoes, but we have enough to last us into February. We have usually been able to raise suflScent vegetables to carry us from season to season.

Connected with this department is the greenhouse, with which we feel we have been very successful; inasmuch as we have raised a large amount of flowers, which have been enjoyed by the School. Besides, we have sold enough to pay for the expense incurred.

We also consider the poultry plant a section of this depart- ment, and the showing made speaks for itself. We have some 600 fowls, and, including all cost of food, etc., we have a favor- able balance of $604.96. We have bought oi\ly three cases of eggs the past year, having furnished, with this exception, the entire needs of the School from our hennery.

LAUNDRY.

**Our laundry is sadly in need of new machinery. The matron of this department deserves credit for the good work rendered under the present condition of the equipment.

when we consider that we have a daily average of 886 boys, one can imagine the amount ot work required.

AMUSEMENTS.

''(Considering the number of boys in the School, the actual expense incurred for their amusement is comparatively small. The principal feature of the year is the annual excursion to Gaspee Point, which takes place in August. This excursion, together with the visit to Keith's Theatre on Christmas week, and a small expense for one or two entertainments during the winter, is the extent.

AFTER-CARE.

''We believe that our method in this work has proven suc- cessful, as we experience very little trouble with boys on parole, and all the work of visiting the boys after their dis- charge is done by those connected with this School."

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 47

OAKLAWN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

Super/nieniieni' (Duties of Superintendent performed temporarily by an Executive Committee of the Board.)

^epuiy Super/nientieni.' MrS. Clara F. Forbush.*

The Executive Committee report as follows to the Board:

''The work at the Oaklawn School for Girls has been much the same as in former years. At the beginning of the year there were forty girls in the School ranging from the ages of eleven to twenty years, under the care of five teachers each earnest, faithful and conscientious in the discharge of her exacting duties.

The girls have been employed in the forenoon of each day in the different departments — kitchen, laundry, sewing-room, and at general housework. In the afternoon every gid attends school. Two schools of letters are maintained with gratifying results. Four girls are detailed to attend to the work in the garden and to the poultry through the season. The work of the girls is changed every four months; thus affording each girl an opportunity to become proficient in the different branches of household duties.

No sickness, other than now and then an ordinary cold or some slight indisposition, occurred during the year. The disci- pline has been excellent.

One little girl, when unobserved, walked off the play- ground and started for home, but was soon returned to the School. This was the only attempt to run away during the year, and we consider this an exceptionally fine record, indi- cating that the girls are loyal and contented.

Mass is celebrated once a month, and Sisters of Mercy have visited the School once in two weeks and have been very help- ful to the girls, as in years past. Instead of attending the Sunday morning service at the State Hospital for the Insane as formerly, the girls remain at the School, where Sunday-school is held for them. In the afternoon a Protestant service is conducted by Chaplain Ewer. Washington's Birthday was observed at the School, as usual, and an entertainment was given by the girls in the evening. Fourth of July was appro-

•Mre. Forbush was appointed Superintendent of the Oaklawn School for Girls January U>. 1909.

priately celebrated. The girls' annual outing was held in the School grounds August 14th, and was, as usual, a great success. Thanksgiving was a day of feasting with an entertainment in the evening by the girls. Christmas is the gala-day of the year. The turkey dinner, with all that goes with it, fades into insignificance before the gaily decorated Christmas tree loaded with gifts for each girl. A bright, pretty, musical entertain- ment is given in the evening by the girls.

The new cottage for girls, spoken of in our report for 1907, as nearly finished, has been completed during the year and is now being furnished. We expect it will be ready for occu- pancy very soon.

Looking back on the past year, we feel that much has been done for our girls and that the ensuing year will find all of us zealous and as determined as ever in our work for these chil- dren.

We desire to thank those who so generously remembered the girls at Christmas and all other kind friends."

I have visited the Kent County Jail and found everything satisfactory. I was pleased, upon my last visit, to find plumbers at work improving the sanitary conditions. Again, I would suggest, as I have in several previous reports, the purchasing, by the State, of a strip of land adjoining the Jail, as the build- ings upon said land cause one side of the Jail to be very dark.

REPORT

OF THE RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTOR.

7jo the ^oarti 0/ Siaie Charaii^^ anti Corrections:

Gentlemen : — I have the honor to present my report for the year ending December 81, 1908.

I have nothing of special importance to report concerning the religious work at the State Institutions during the first half of the year. Early in September, the pupils of the Oaklawn School for Girls ceased to attend the Sunday morning service at the State Hospital for the Insane. This change was made in accordance with the wishes of those most concerned. We now have the Sunday School session in the forenoon, and the service for worship in the afternoon. This is simply a return to the order followed in the earlier period of the Oaklawn School's history. No other changes in the services at the various in- stitutions have been found either necessary or desirable.

The decease of Mrs. Susan M. May, wife of Mr. Asa L. May, Deputy Superintendent of the State Almshouse, on September 22nd, after a protracted and painful illness, brought sadness to all minds, and evoked the profoundest sympathy. Quiet in manner, gentle in disp<i«»ition, peculiarly fitted for her work, both in the home and in the institution, her removal by death meant to the State tlie loss of one of its most efficient servants, while to the home and loved ones, it brought unspeakable grief, Mrs. May endured her sufferings with the greatest

REPORT OF THB BOARD. 128

fortitude, solicitiousoniy for husband and children; and as the end drew near she faced death with the calmness which evi- denced a supreme confidence in Him who is **the resurrection and the life." The funeral services, held at the family resi- dence, September 25th, were conducted by the Rev. R. K. Wickett, pastor of the family assisted by the writer.

The services at the Sockanosset School for Boys attract many visitors. Both here and at the Oaklawn School for Girls, the singing is a notable feature.

I can speak only favorably concerning the interest at all of the institutions. Excepting only the Schools, the attendance everywhere is not compulsory. Yet large numbers are present regularly, and the congregations are as attentive and apparent- ly as appreciative as any that gather in the churches. May it not also be true that the good resulting is as real and abiding? The Sunday services at the Almshouse are necessarily less fre- quent than at the other institutions. This lack of service is more apparent than real. OonsiderabJe time is given to the Almshouse on other days in the week, in regular visitation and in response to special calls for individual ministration.

In my work at the penal institutions it has been my constant endeavor to widen my personal acquaintance and influence, believijig that on this social basis must rest the hope of real improvement in moral character and upright living. Many are the victims of ignorance, hereditary vicious tendencies and false views of life. With the younger class, especially, the question as to what their future is to be, turns, in no small measure, on the possibility of a re-education. The slaves of appetite and passion are among the weakest of men, and hav- ing never known the meaning of self-control they chafe under the restraints of confinement and discipline, and unless the necessarily hard conditions are ameliorated by softening in- fluences, moral improvement becomes extremely doubtful. Patience and kindness in dealing with even the worst of men help to sweeten the bitterest cup and cause the stubborn will to relax, often sufficiently to open the way for those higher influences which alone can rehabilitate and save. In spite of peculiar difficulties and embarrassments, we find, almost daily, encouragement and incitement to greater diligence in this persopal effort,

My colleagues, clergymen of the Roman Catholic Church, are faithful in their work. Their ministrations in the offices of their Church endear them to those whom they so devoted- ly serve. On behalf of these co-workers as well as myself, permit me to acknowledge the unvarying courtesy of the officials in charge of the several institutions, without whose cooperation no large degree of sucess could be attained in our work.

My absences from the field have been few and brief. In every instance I have provided a suitable supply for the care of my work, always a clergyman.

REPORT

OF THE PHYSICIAN OF THE STATE INSTITUTIONS.

ZTo the £je^etiiiue CommiHeey S/aie Workhouse anti J^ouse ofCorrociion,

Gentlemen : — I have the honor to present, herewith, my report as Resident Physician of the State Workhouse and House of Correction, for the year 1908.

During the year eight deaths occurred in this department, seven males and one female, from the following causes:

Alcoholism 4

Pneumonia - « 2

Pulmonary Oedeuia ^ 1

Pulmonary tuberculosis 1

Tot»l Ts

During the past year the need of a small hospital has been amply demonstrated. The lack of proper facilities for caring for the sick in this institution has resulted in the transferring to the overcrowded Almshouse thirteen cases needing care and treatment.

Of this number, four were pregnant women transferred to the obstetrical department of the Almshouse; and a very curious medico-legal fact connected with them is that three of their infants were still- born. In this connection I again recommend that a night-matron should have supervision over the Women's dormitoriei of the Workhouse and House of Correction.

During the sunimer months there were a large number of cases of diarrhoea that required special treatment.

Apart from this, nothing of special medical importance has developed.

ZJo Jfntirew ^ Wtieoxj Warden,

Dear sir : — I have the honor to present, herewitli, my report as Resident Physician of the State Prison and Providence County Jail for the year 1908.

I have made during the year 156 regular visits, besides the numerous calls for special cases received both by day and by night.

The number of cases treated during the year was 5,976. The average number of cases attended eacli regular visit was 31.

The hospital report is as follows :

in the hospital practically from the dates of their entrance to the Institutions.

The long-term prisoner pardoned from the Prison was in the advanced stages of pulmonary tuberculosis, and had been in the Prison hospital for months.

I question the advisability of pardoning this class of patients in their last days. They may not receive as good care and treatment in their homes as in prison. If, however, a pardon is granted to a prisoner of this class, it should be, I believe, upon the condition that he will be placed in a sanatorium where he will receive as good care and treatment as he receives here. Prisoners so afflicted should not go to their homes and be a source of infection to the public.

The general health of the long-term prisoners is good.

The overcrowded condition of the Providence County Jail, wherein many of the cells contain four prisoners each, is well known. It is impossible to isolate any of the prisoners (except in the hospital) suffering from venereal and other diseases, and complaints are often made to the physician by prisoners that they wish to be removed from such cell-mates. Constant vigilance on the part of officials here, who enforce cleanliness, goes far to prevent the lodgement of infectious diseases.

I again, as in previous reports, bring before you the need of a new Jail.

One case of typhoid fever and one of measles, occurring in officers, appeared ; both recovered.

Many cases of itch, tonsilitis and influenza appeared among the prisoners crowded in the Jail.

Apart from this, the general health has been fair.

Respectfully submitted,

HENRY A. JONES, M. D.,

Resident Physician.

Qentlemen : — I have the honor to present, herewith, my report M Reiident Pbysioi^Q for the State Almshouse for the year 1908,

Digitized by VjOOQIC

128 8TATB 0HABITIB8 AND OORBBOTIONB.

In this Institution the overcrowded condition still exists.

During the year past the number of deaths were twenty-eight less than the previous year. The total number of deaths was 192.

Tuberculosis in its various forms account for thirty- two deaths, distributed as follows: males seventeen, females fifteen.

Average age of males dying with tuberculosis, thirty-five years; females, thirty-one years.

Oancer, in various forms, was prevalent among the admissions and caused seventeen deaths. During the latter months of the year, an epidemic of chicken-pox broke out among the small in- fants and ten contracted the disease. The ward was isolated as much as possible and the disease was not distributed. No deaths occurred from this disease.

Typhoid fever developed in two inmates, complicated with other serious ailments ; both died. One person had the disease, evidently, on admission; the other, a case of a young, feeble- minded girl, could not be accounted for, as no other inmate developed the disease.

One case of measles occurred; this was a matron who, pre- sumably, contracted the disease while travelling. Strict isola- tion was established and, so far, no other cases have developed.

Three cases of whooping-cough developed. Isolation prevent- ed its distribution.

During the year progress has been made toward the proper classification and distribution of the inmates. A pleasant obstetric-room in the Howard Oottage or Nursery Building has been prepared. ^This fills a much needed want, as the mothers will be separate from the other inmates. Preparations for the changing of the hospital-wards are in progress and this will add greatly to the comfort and welfare of the children.

The number of tuberculosis cases is increasing, and especially is this apparent in the male department. The ward for their isolation cannot house them and several of these infectious in- mates are crowded into the alley- way of the basement of the main building to sleep. This is the most dangerous makeshift that we have been called upon to make in this Institution, as it brings into close proximity a dangerous infective class of pa- tients to mingle at nights with others who are very susceptible to this disease. As the number of this class increases, just so

Digitized by VjOOQIC

RBPORT OF THE BOARD. 129

much more of the limited yard area at the disposal of the ambulatory patients of other classes becomes polluted and infective by the discharges of the consumptives.

I earnestly advise and recommend that before other buildings are erected here for their care, the question of their removal from this Institution be seriously considered and acted upon. They are a separate and infective class of patients; their proper care calls for extra labor, extra diet, and different surroundings from the ordinary inmates admitted here.

I view their increase with great alarm as I cannot further concede, as in the past, that no cases have developed here. To see the freedom displayed by the feeble-minded in regard to contact with this class and their discharges, one wonders why more cases have not developed.

Gentlemen : — I have the honor to present, herewith, my report as Resident Physician for the Sockanosset School for Boys, for the year 1908 :

During the early months of spring, and again in the fall, scarlet-fever developed. In the first epidemic, sixteen boys were taken ill; several of them had the disease quite severely; others had it very mildly and without complications. In the fall, two cases developed the disease in a mild form ; they were isolated in the hospital for contagious diseases recently erected.

Of the eighteen cases treated, no lasting complication oc- curred and no deaths ensued

Five cases of diphtheria developed, in which antitoxin was freely used. All of these cases recovered.

Many cases of itch developed which required vigorous treat- ment and isolation before we got rid of the disease.

There were the usual number of minor ailments treated 4TP^iQg the year »t the hospital. Two boys were transferred to

Charities and Corrections and one was admitted upon her own request; two were removed thereto by order of a Justice of the Supreme Court, and two, by order of His Excellency, Governor James H. Higgins, from the Providence County Jail.

Of the patients admitted in 1908, thirty-nine died, forty-nine were discharged, twenty-nine of whom were removed from the State, and sixty-five are out on parole. Fifty-nine had been in the State Hospital for the Insane before, not counting those re- turned from parole.

The sum of $20,499 60 was collected during the year for the board, care and medical attendance of patients supported at the State Hospital for the Insane by their relatives or friends.

The State Hospital for the Insane was opened for occupancy November 7th, 1870, and from that date to the first day of Jan- uary, 1871, there were received 118 insane persons, of whom sixty-five were received from Butler Hospital, twenty-two from the Vermont Asylum at Brattleboro, four from the Asylum at Worcester, Massachusetts, two from the Asylum at Taunton, Massachusetts, and twenty-five from the Town Poorhouses in this State.

KBFORT or T« BOARD. 187

During the past year the work of probation in this State has increased beyond that of any previous year and, without excep- tion, the work has been handled in a careful and eflBcierrt man- ner. The growth of the probation system since its modest beginning in 1898, has been particularly pleasing to those engaged in the work and cannot but commend the system to all thoughtful citizens. During the first year of the operation of the system, 621 persons were put on probation, while in 1908 there have been no fewer than 1,168.

In 1898, the work was confined to the two probation officers of Providence, but now, in addition to these, there are probation officers for the following districts : the cities of Pawtucket and and Central Falls ; the Fifth and Seventh Judicial Districts ; and thfecityof Newport. Only by such expansion has it been possi- ble to care for the ever increasing work entrusted to the proba- tion officers. It has been found impossible for one oflBcer to keep in hand more than a limited number of cases and still obtain the best results.

Rhode Island is entitle to the greatest credit for having been among the pioneer states in putting the probation system to the test. The probationary system had been on trial for less than a year when its success in securing moral improvement among minors brought about its application to the cases of adult of- fenders whose offenses were not sufficiently grave to demand more rigorous treatment. The belief in the efficiency of the probation system which caused this extension of its field has been fully justified by the success of the work. The adult division of the work is today of almost equally far-reaching importance as the juvenile, alth<»ugh the percentage of failure is necessarily somewhat higher.

The essential aim in probation work is to bring into degraded, dejected and unfortunate lives, through personal influence and familiar intercourse with the probation officers, an element of justice hitherto little known. Before sentence is pro- nounced upon an offender, the probation officer steps in as an investigating agent acquainted in intimate detail with the surroundings, temptations and all the discouraging influences tending to induce or promote crimes in those brought to court. I robt^tion endeavors throuf;h th<? concrete living personality oj

its officers to bring abstract and formidable ideas of justice in- to a tangible reality applicable to every man in his daily life. Probation strive? to offset deteriorating factors in a person's career by a fair deal and a chance to move up even tempo- rarly into a higher plane of living through a change of occupa- tion, new surroundings and a regenerated moral code. It provides a remedy for diseased or deformed natures in an effort to regenerate and to rehabilitate socially those whose tend- encies are liable to make them a menace to society.

Probation officers must needs be experts in philanthropy and adepts in social investigation. Unlike amateur charity workers, they must have no spasmodic periods of enthusiasm, but must be constantly at their work, despite the changing seasons. Scientific regularity and thoroughness are theelf men- tary principles of professional investigation. In the commun- ity where they work, probation officers stand as a terror to the evil doer and as an unchanging symbol of the orderly discharge of mutual (obligations contracted between probationer and court. Probation officers conscientiously following up their cases are living illustrations of tho possibilities of justice in modern conception and interpretation.

Although M regularly constituted juvenile court is lacking in the city of Providence, its alisence is little felt owning to the present admirable administration of our judge in the juvenile division. All offenders of school age report in person every Saturday morning and working boys report to the probation officer on two evenings a week. With the steady increase of probation work in the city of Providence, one need is becoming more and more urgent. The courts and probation officers are seriously handicapped by the lack of a school of detention such as is carried on with markcul success in several other states. The school at Sockanosset, admiralily suited as it is to those needs for which it is designed, does not fulfill the requirements of a school of detention which should be under the personal supervision of the probation officers.

Since the several probation officers report that the conditions now prevalent correspond to those reported in former years, any detailed discussion of them has been omitted. The juve- niles put in the charge of tin* probation officers have been guilty of various offenses ranging from truancy to breaking j^nd ente^t

ing, but of the adults a large percentage were charged with non-support. In many of these latter cases it has been neces- sary to secure provision for the payment of w^eekly allowances for the immediate needs of the family, and a large amount has been collected by the several probation offlcere. In addition to the regular probationers, many persons are placed in charge of the probation officers without being arraigned in court. During the past year more than 250 such cases, forty-seven of whom were women, came under the care of the officers in the city of Providence alone. Such cases were also provided for by the probation officers of the other courts of the State. In a large percentage of these cases the offenders were strangers and were returned to their homes in other states.

The relations between the probation officers and various organizations interested in such work have been as cordial as ever and thanks are due to them in no small measure for sup- port. Miss Margaret H. Dennehy in her double capacity as Superintendent of the Providence Kescue Home and as proba- tion officer has used the Home to decided advantage in her probation work and without expense to the State.

Respectfully submitted,

William J. Wallace, Margaret H. Dennehy, Thomas B. Maymon, George L. Smith, Theophilus Topham, Jehu Downes, Assistant Probation Officers.

To the Honorable General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island, at its January Session, 1910.

The Board of State Charities and Corrections respectfully present their report for the year ending December 81, 1909, as required by (Chapter 860, Section 18, of the General Laws of Rhode Island (Revision of 1909).

been accepted by His Excellency, Governor Aram J. Pothier, it is therefore

CONSTRUCTION.

At the January Session of the General Assembly, 1908, it was

X9soi99ti, To submit to the people of the State, for their approval or rejection, a proposition to issue bonds of the State in the sum of $800,000, to be expended in permanent improve- ments at the State Institutions in the town of Cranston.

At the General election in November, 1908, the proposition to issue bonds was approved by the people.

At the Session of the General Assembly, January, 1909, the General Treasurer was authorized to issue the above named bonds, and the sum of $300,000, from the proceeds of their sale, was appropriated for permanent improvements at the State Institutions in Cranston, to be expended under the direc- tion of the Board of State Charities and Corrections.

This appropriation will not, the Board believe, meet the large and urgent needs of the Institutions. It was much smaller than the Board's estimate of their requirements.

With the means provided, the Board might add wings to ex- isting buildings, or small inexpensive buildings migJit be erect- ed as temporary expedients, as in several instances has been done; but such construction is unsatisfactory and, soon, it will be of little value, when larger, more commodious and up-to- date buildings are imperatively called for by the public.

A specimen of inexpensive construction can be seen in the yard of the Prison and Jail. We refer to the cellarless, wooden building, provided with 182 bunks for Jail inmates and built in 1894 at a per capita cost of about twenty-six dollars. This building is still in use as a dormitory.

This view of conditions and needs at the Institutions applies especially to the Hospital for the Insane where most of the buildings are old and inconvenient and have already been publicly criiicised. The Board believe that were the $800,000, to be expended wholly at the Hospital for the Insane, it would not suffice to raise the standard of that institution to the stand- ard of similar institutions in many other states.

For many years much larger accommodations have been great- ly needed at the Jail, and when, in 1894, the General Assembly authorized the construction of a new Jail, the sum of three

12 STATE GHARITIB8 AND CORRECTIONS.

hundred thousand dollars was named as its probable cost. The authority to build was subsequently rescinded.

That large expenditures are now needed at the Institutions is not surprising when we consider that during the eighteen years that have passed since the completion of the Almshouse, the number of persons at the Institutions has increased l)y about one thousand, and tliat the appropriations made for permanent improvements (land and buildings) for them during that period have been far from adequate, the increase of inmates having been largely provided for by excessive crowding of buildings and by makeshift structures that have been mentioned in pre- vious reports. The aggregate of appropriations during the period named was, indeed, less than half the sum required for accommodations such as are now being provided in our own as well as in other states. At least a million and a half dollars were needed for the purpose and the aggregate of appropria- tions made for permanent improvements was less than six hundred thousand.

To indicate the scale of cost of such accommodations as are being provided elsewhere for institutions similar to the State Institutions in Oranston, the following instances are given. Buildings of the kind that public opinion now demands for the care and treatment of the insane and such as are required to hold criminals securely and without undue austerity are ex- pensive; and so, too, are those for the proper care of the poor and the sick.

Providence has just now completed a hospital for contagious diseases that has cost about $1,700 per bed.

Regarding the prospective cost of a new hospital for the in- sane in the District of Columbia, the following statement was made in the report for 1907 of the District of Columbia Board of State Charities.

''The average number of District patients in the Government Hospital for the Insane in 1907 was 1,260. To provide the same accommodations, as now needed by these patients, would in- volve the expenditure of approximately two and one half millions of dollars. At a conservative estimate, buildings that would afford such accommodations as these patients now enjoy at the Government Hospital for the Insane would cost $2,000 per bed.''

XEPORT OF THE BOAKD. 18

There were 1,101 patients in the Rhode Island Hospital for the Insane, January 1, 1910.

The foregoing, we trust, gives sufficient evidence to show that the appropriations for permanent improvements at the In- stitutions in Cranston have not been sufficient for many years to maintain them at a proper sta»)dard as regards accommoda- tions and that the result of the failure to do this has been cumulative, so that now a large expenditure is necessary.

Under the direction of the Committee on Buildings and Re- pairs, plans are now being prepared of several of the buildings that the Board believe to be needed ; namely, a new Jail similar to the one described in the report of the Board for 1894, which, as said before, was to cost about three hundred thousand dollars; a Reception Hospital at the State Hospital for the Insane, 461 feet long, to consist of a Central Building of three stories, with a wing of two stories on either side for patients; a Trades' School for the Sockanosset School for Boys; an Administration Building for the Board, and a residence for the ^'Superintendent of the State Farm'' having charge of the Workhouse and House of Correction and the Almshouse and so much of the farm as is not set off to the other Institutions.

Definite plans for additional accommodations at the Alms- house have not yet been prepared, but the Board have in view the construction, by Institution labor, of a building for the sick of the Almshouse. The problem of how best to provide for the needs of the Almshouse contains some uncertain factors. When the proposed new accommodations at the Hospital for the Insane are completed, so that it will be able to care for the quiet insane patients who for many years have been cared for at the Almshouse, and when sufficient accommodations are pro- vided at the Rhode Island School for the Feeble Minded to enable it to take from the Almshouse those of that class now there, the needs of the Almshouse will be somewhat lessened.

During the year 1909, the following items of construction were accomplished or begun :

HOSPITAL FOR THK INSANE.

The former residence of the Superintendent of the State Farm,, a house bought with the Howard farm in 1869, has been repaired and improved for the occupation of the Superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane.

14 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

A large amount of repairs has been done upon the steam-pipes conveying steam from the central boiler-house to the several buildings, and the underground conduit, through which the steam-pipes are laid, was extended eighty-five feet.

Two poultry-houses, each fifty feet long, an incubator and a brooding-house were built for the hennery.

STATE ALMSHOUSE^

Work was continued in 1^09 upon a stone building, measuring 110 by 28 feet, to accommodate fifty men, in the Almshouse yard. The building was described in the report of 1908. The labor was supplied by the mechanics and inmates of the Insti- tutions. At the close of 1909 it was practically completed.

STATE PRISON Af<D PROVIDENCE COUNTY JAIL.

A temporary shed and stable and a temporary dining-room were built at these Institutions.

Two Babcock & Wilcox boilers were put in to replace two old boilers.

flOCKANOSSET SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

An addition for a refrigerating-room has been attached to the Main Building. It measures ten by six by twenty-six feet and is an extension of the central part of the basement northward. The front door of the building is immediately above and the steps which led up to itarenow at the north end of the addition, the top of which is flat surrounded with a parapet waJl. By covering this flat area by a roof and by placing sash above the parapet in cold weather, there will be provided a convenient lobby, or porch, outside of the front door.

The work was done wholly by boys of the School and con- forms in construction with the Main Building.

Three covered cepspoole have been constructed to intercept the sewage of the School. Each cesspool is fifteen feet in di- ameter and they measure in depth fifteen, eighteen and twenty- four feet, respectively. A large amount of addtional leaching surface is provided by trenches filled with stone and covered with earth. The entire structure is below the surface of the ground.

The location is about eleven hundred feet southwesterly from the former outlet of the main drainage-pipe of the School, which

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 16

has been connected with the cesspools by an eight-inch pipe. The work was done by the boys.

PURCHASE OF LAND.

An area of land measuring approximately twenty-five acres was purchased May 19, 1909, from Edwin Corning. The land is at the southwest corner of the New London turnpike, so-called, and the Sockanosset cross-road. It is bounded on one side by land of the Oity of Providence and on the other sides by land own- ed by the State. The cost was $1,881.18, including the expense of surveying, etc., ($81.18).

The present area of the territory of the State Institutions in Cranston measures about 781 acres.

STATE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.

fSupertnientieni.' Dr. ArTHUR H. HARRINGTON. ^Deputy ^upi.f Dr. GeORQK E. SiMPSON.

At the close of the year 1908, there were in the State Hospital for the Insane 1084 patients ; at the close of 1909 there were 1101 patients, an increase of 87 during 1909.

The number admitted in 1909 was 861; in 1908 the number admitted was 845.

In 1909, 210 patients were discharged or paroled, the same nuinl)er as in 1908.

The number of deaths in 1909 was 123; in 1908 the number was 121.

The largest number of patients in the Hospital in any one day in 1909 was 1104, while the daily average number was 1067. In 1908 tiie daily average was 1024.

Plans for an a<lditional building at the Hospital for the In- sane are being prepared. This is spoken of under ^'Construc- tion.'*

The following is the report of Dr. Harrington :

7To M# S^oard o/fSiaie Charities anti Corrections/

Gentlemen: — In presenting this report I am conscious that it is desirable to set forth the operations of the Hospital for the year in as brief form as is consistent with the amount of in- formation required for your purposes, and that in stating the present and future needs of the hospital such reports should be shorn of all cant phraseology."

"'I do not think, however, that we can be justly accused of the latter fault if we employ only such expressions as give emphasis to the vital truth. In reviewing the reports of the Hospital, which have been annually presented, there is re- corded the growth in the numbers of the patients from year to year, and there are repeated appeals for increased accommoda- tions and means for all the administrative and working needs of the Hospital."

''I will respectfully put the question : What is it that lies at the heart of these appeals? I will endeavor to answer it, but first allow me to state what it is not. It is not the desire to ascer- tain how much money we can obtain from the State treasury;

Digitized by VjOOQIC

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 17

it is not that we may have a proud part in the material creation of an imposing hospital plant; it is not that we may gather around us a corps of assistants and employees to do our bidding ; but underneath and permeating all these appeals lies a Cause; a Cause which, when understood, addresses itself to conscience, to ethical sense, to humanitarian instinct. It is the Cause of the Insane in the State of Rhode Island.''

''The vital truth which I wish to impress is that the insane committed to State care in Rhode Island have a Cause. No one can doubt this when we are ready to show any inquirer that our wards are crowded far beyond the limits of their capacity, that an acute case on entering the hospital may, under the necessity of present conditions, have to be thrust into a ward containing from fifty to one hundred patients, where he may see every form of mental disease and every known manifestation of the disease, and where his own mental distress may be aug- mented by the sights and sounds around him."

''In the evolution of the care of the insane, physicians, as they have gained in knowledge of mental diseases, and have acquired rational views of their management, have struggled with boards of control, and boards of control, as they have be- come enlightened, have in turn struggled with legislatures for recognition of the many requirements of those entrusted to their charge."

"As we trace these efforts, the successful appeal has not in- frequently been made through an education of the general public. Within recent years I believe there has been a uni- versal awakening to the knowledge that the insane man is a sick man, entitled to all the sympathy that a generous and enlightened people can bestow and to all the aids which medical science can summon. I believe that there are indications that this awakening has extended to the general public of this State and that the public mind has acquired a grasp of the true con- ception of mental affections and a realizing sense of the need of new adjustments to meet the requirements of the recognized standards of the day, and that our citizens are ready and anx- ious to support their legislative representatives in the adoption of a broad and liberal basis in dealing with the Cause of the Insane.''

''Your Board has long been fully cognizant of this Cause, and

Digitized by VjOOQIC

18 8TATB CHAKITIBS AND COKKSCTIOlfS.

already, as the result of your deliberations, we are inspired by the hope that before many months we shall have here a Recep- tion Hospital, a separate structure, which shall be a hospital in every sense of the word for the first care of the acute and new cases."

*'But it must be borne in mind that a Reception Hospital deals with but one of the numerous phases of our work of Stat-e Oare of the Insane/'

''Without discussion of details I will recount once more the recommendations that have on previous occasions been made to your Board, both formally and informally, which, I believe, are necessary of adoption in order that there may be a proper ad- justment to present conditions and to provide for the near future."

''First. To relieve the crowded condition, we should at once plan for additional wards for men."

"Second. We should start a "Colony", so-called, at some distance from the main plant on our Hospital lands, for at least ten per cent, of our men."

"Third. We should begin as soon as possible the renovation of our one story stone structures and carry them up two stories."

"Fourth. Increased laundry facilities are an imperative necessity."

"Fifth. We should construct the building already planned and so long needed for ofSce and officers' quarters."

"Sixth. I strongly recommend that there should be a con- sideration of the adoption of the "Family Oare System", as practiced for twenty-five years in Massachusetts and as ex- plained in previous reports."

"The State by statutory enactment has assumed, and that wisely, the responsibility for the care of the dependent insane. It must meet this responsibility with credit to itself. To carry out the provisions for so doing obviously cannot be done with- out cost. This aspect of the subject is a prime consideration with the taxpayer, but experience is everywhere demonstra- ting that an economic value is derived in dealing with all our social problems in the most enlightened and scientific manner. The adoption of the best care which can be given the insane is a matter of financial policy. It has been shown that in the development of the wealth of a state, the life of each individ-

Digitized by VjOOQIC

KIPORT OF THE BOARD. 19

ual has an estimated financial value of $200 per annum. The average duration of life of the chronic insane is twelve years. Let us, by way of illustration, place the total cost of maintain- ing a patient at the State Hospital at Howard at $150 per year. Then the total cost to the State per year for each year that the patient remains in the Hospital is the loss of his social finan- cial value plus the cost of his maintenance at the Hospital, or a total of $860 per year, which in twelve years would amount to $4,200. Without argument, is this statement not sufficiently conclusive to convince every fair minded person that on the financial consideration we should not sacrifice any measure which offers a prospect of aiding the return of a patient to his home or to the ranks of the bread-winner?"

**A8 bearing upon the necessity for immediate action to pro- vide for present numbers and future growth I desire to sulimit the following significant figures."

''The daily average number of patients in the State Hospi- tal for the Insane for the year 1890 was 507; for the year 1895 it was 621 ; for the year 1900 it was 740 ; for the year 1905 it was 960 ; for the year 1909 the daily average was 1067, while the largest number present on any one day in 1909 was 1104,"

'*The whole number of persons cared for in certain years to be named, which includes the number present on the first day of January of these years and the number committed in each year designated, shows the following progression."

'In 1890 it was 666 ; in 1895 it was 808 ; in 1900 it was an even one thousand; in 1905 it was 1270 and in 1909 it was 1466."

'*The total number of commitments to the State Hospital for the Insane during the ten year period ending Dec. 81, 1899 was 1992. During the ten year period ending Dec. 31, 1909 it was 8879. That is, within the last decade the number of com- mitments was greater than during the preceding decade by 69 per cent."

"In 1890 the number of cases committed was one to each 2119 persons of the total population of the State. In 1895 it was one to each 1933; in 1900, one to each 1547 ; in 1905, one to each 1887. This is as far as the census returns to date will allow of compu- tation."

"In 1890 the daily average number of patients resident at the State Hospital was one to each 681 of the total population of the

State. In 1895 it was one to each 619 ; in 1900, one to each 579 ; in 1905, one to each 500/'

*'In respect to the number of the insane in our State Hospi- tal and the proportion of this number to the population, our position is not different from that of many other states which are thickly settled and growing."

"In most of our states the proportion of the insane cared for in state hospitals is about the same as here and in a few it is considerably greater.''

*'Rhode Island has been a rapidly growing state, increasing from 845,508 in ISJK) to the present number estimated by Ool. Geo. H. Webb, the Supervisor of the Census of Rhode Island, at, I believe, approximately 580,000. To this growth must be attributed mainly our numerical problem in State care of the insane."

"With each five hundred increase in the population of the State we can reasonably expect to have to provide for at least . an additional insane person under our system of state care of the insane."

REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

"We have put up a structure for the temporary housing of kitchen and dining-room refuse, thoroughly protected by fly- screening."

"We have also completed the screening, for protecting against flies, of our entire Congregate Dining Hall and Service Building."

"We have built two poultry houses, each fifty feet in length, and have practically completed an incubator and brooder- house."

"We have been obliged to make extensive renewals of old steam and water piping, putting in 860 feet of four inch steam pipe and 800 feet of two inch return pipe, with necessary valves and fittings."

"We have renewed a portion of the steam drum in the boiler house."

"We have replaced old water pipes in the basements of some of the wards, using 485"feet''of "galvanized iron piping, with nec- essary valves and fittings.''

"We have connected our high and low pressure water service,

installing 686 feet of four inch cast iron piping, thus giving a better water supply to old parts of the Institution/'

*'We have added 85 feet to our system of tunnels for steam- pipes, thus giving another building better connection with our main heating supply."

"^Extensivs repairs and alterations are being made in the Superintendent's residence."

GBNBRAL HBALTH OF THB PATIENTS AND EMPLOYEES.

Notwithstanding the overcrowded condition of the Hospital, the general health of those resident here has been very good. During the summer we had an epidemic of acute dysentery. The patients were at once isolated, as far as could be done, in a tent. A similar, though more extensive, epidemic has re- cently occurred at the Danvers, Mass., State Hospital. There an exhaustive study on every line of inquiry was made and the conclusion arrived at was that flies were the carriers of the pathogenetic germs. The lesson to be learned from this and other experiences is that fly-screening of all buildings is a measure which protects life and is also one of economy. While tents have their uses, yet for diseases which insects may carry, or if it is necessary to serve food in them, they are unsuitable. I think that in their place airy structures of wood thoroughly screened are far superior ; a suggestion which I think it would be wise to carry out here."

''One patient, a woman of forty-nine, committed sucide by hanging. The patient was not suspected of suicidal tendencies, as she had habitually expressed herself as being happy. Never- theless she had been under close observation. Within fifteen minutes of the time when visited by a nurse, she hung herself by means of her bed clothing fastened to a window guard."

* 'There have been a few accidents to patients, all of a minor character, and no fatalities have resulted from such causes."

GIFTS.

"We are indebted to the following named persons among the friends of the Hospital for various gifts."

"Mrs. Harriet E. Reynolds; records and needles for the Vic- tor Talking Machine."

"Mrs. A, R. French; flowers for the wards on several occasions.' *

AMUSEMBNTS AND EKTERTAISMENT8.

Weekly dances have been held in the Assembly Hall through- out the year with the exception of the summer months."

"We have tried the experiment of employing a professional teacher of dancing, several weeks, with success. The patients have been perfected in the figures of the square dances and many patients have learned the round dances. We have found that the employment of an instructor has led both patients and em- ployees to take part in the dancing in greater numbers, all of which contributes to the physical and mental benefits which the patients derive from this exercise."

"Feb. 9th, members of theSaylesville Cong. Church Sunday School presented a drama entitled, "Men, Maids and Match- makers."

"March 8th, and 11th, several of the officers of the Hospital presented the farce-comedy, "Captain Racket."

"March 18th, the First Band, Coast Artillery Brigade, under the leader-ship of Lieut. Walter L. Anthony, gave us a band concert in the Congregate Dining Hall."

"Sept. 9th, about 150 patients were given an outing and shore dinner at Palace Gardens."

There are men and women here who have stood by their arduous and trying tasks day by day the past year, some of them even for repeated years, displaying both patience and zeal."

STATE WORKHOUSE AND HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

6mp0rini0nii0ni: FrBD B. JeweTT, M. D.

7)9ptiiy Suptt Timothy P. Dodoe.

Vfaironf Mrs. MaRY E. WoOD.

The number of persons committed to the Workhouse and House of Correction in 1909 was 588, a decrease of 76 compared with the number committed in 1908.

The daily average num)>er in 1909 was 240; in 1908 it was 260.

Of the 588 persons committed in 1909, 205 were common- drunkards; in 1908 the number of this class was 282.

Four of the inmates died in 1909; eight died in 1908.

The Superintendent reports as follows to the Board :

7jo ih9 ^oarti of Siai0 Chartitos and Corrociionst* '

Gentlemen: — I hereby present for your consideration the report of the State Workhouse and House of Correction and of the State Farm for the year 1909, though my supervision cover- ed but seven months of that year. 'J

"Statistics showing the movement of population, together with other standard tables and a list of the products of the farm, will be found appended hereto."

"'This institution, for in spite of its three legal divisions it is practically one, has dual functions.'*

**First, the seclusion of its inmates for a time, together with more or less laborious work, and, second, to foster and assist any desire to lead a better life, or, in other words, the reform- atory side. Along the latter line, reward of merit seems to produce a greater response than almost anything else, and it would seem advisable to follow along that course as much as circumstances will allow."

**A subject that has been mentioned in previous reports and is especially worthy of attention, is the question of hospital facilities for those who may be ill at this institution. I would suggest that the space between the workshop and the main building be filled in by a three story addition, the second and third floors to be used as hospital wards, while the lower floor would provide a dining-room for men. The latter improvement, during the winter, is an absolute necessity, as we are obliged to

REPORT OF THK BOARD. 37

feed some 215 men in a dining-room built to accommodate 176. It would also allow the extension of the 'reward of merit' idea by giving this dining-room better surroundings and more privi- leges."

'"The usual amount of the usual kinds of work was done dur- ing the past year. This means the work necessary on the farm to raise vegetables, etc., as shown by the appended list, the harvesting of 800 tons of ice, the reclaiming of seven acres of land on the ''Stafford lot," the extension of the ice pond 100 feet and the hauling of 617 tons of coal from Ooweset."

"A new road nearly one quarter of a mile long has been opened from the southeast corner of the sewer lot in a straight line towards the ice pond, in order to shorten the haul and make an easier grade."

''The general status of the institution has changed little dur- ing the year. We have had thirteen escapes and four escapes were recommitted. There have been the usual religious exer- cises, and, as before, Mr. Bowman has contributed of his time and energy in the hope that he might be the determining factor for good to some person. Contributions of reading mat- ter have been gratefully received, and our thanks are espec- ially due to those who have given their time and talent for the entertainment of the inmates."

"The results on the farm were, on the whole, very fair in spite of the prolonged drouth in the middle of the summer. Some crops, especially cabbage, were unusually good, while others did not come up to the average."

"We produced 10876 pounds of fresh pork, and salted 28 bar- rels; sold pigs to the amount of 1714.25, and killed and used 2649 pounds of beef. The barn and outbuildings will need rather more than usual repairs and some changes are advisable in order to handle the milk and stock in a more satisfactory and convenient manner."

"Regarding the health of the inmates Dr. Jones reports as follows:"

'At the Workhouse and House of Correction during the past year there were four deaths, all males, from the following causes :

*The case of skull fracture was sent to this institution for vagrancy with a sentence of nine months. From his appear- ance we presume he had been diagnosed as a case of alcoho- lism when committed. The diagnosis of fracture of the skull was made here before death, and an autopsy preformed by the Medical Examiner confirmed the diagnosis.'

*The cases of tuberculosis had been transferred to the tuber- culosis ward at the State Almshouse for isolation and special treatment.'

^During the summer months a large number of cases of dysentery were treated. It was not clear as to what was the cause, but it was thought to be due to some error in diet. There were no cases of contagious diseases present either in the male or female departments. One case of maniacal insanity was committed to the State Hospital for the Insane. A num- ber of epileptics of both sexes are annually committed to this in- stitution whose presence is detrimental to the welfare of the others. This has been mentioned in previous reports.'

^Taking into consideration the class of people committed here, the general health of the institution is good.'

*'I wish to thank your Chairman and the Board as a whole for their disposition to bear me out in whatever seemed of benefit to the service."

Gentlemen : — I hereby present for your consideration the re- port of the Almshouse for the year J 909."

'*The average number increased from 515 to 581, though there were fewer people in the institution at the end of the year than at the beginning. The number of girls has increas- ed, owing, in part, to the fact that a number of feeble-minded girls had to be brought back from institutions in other states to the Almshouse, because no appropriation had been made for their maintenance in institutions outside of the State, and the State School for Feeble-Minded is not yet able to take any girls."

''The deaths were 182 as compared with 190 in 1908. An an- alysis of the deaths shows that 94 of those who died (68 men and 26 women) were admitted during 1909. Of these, 66 were here less than one month, or an average of fourteen days. We also find the average age of the men a little over 48 years, while that of the women is a little under 52. From these figures we may conclude that the movement of population is much greater on the male side, that these men were largely in the prime of life and that the hospital department is becoming the most im- portant part of the Almshouse. That 66 who entered during the year stayed with us on an average of but fourteen days, and 17 of them five days, or less, is a fact that shows what an amount of work must be done without the slightest possibility or hope of good results. In relation to this Dr. Jones, the Resi- dent Physician, says :

'As in former years a large number of the inmates were in a serious condition on entering the institution. One such case was driven in an ambulance twelve miles on a cold day and reached here in a dying condition from pneumonia.'

'Situated, as it is, between the large city hospitals and the country towns, this institution receives annually many acutely and seriously \)\ persons for treatment ; such were three cases of fatal burns sent here during the summer/

*'0f all the inmates at the State Almshouse, those afflicted with tuberculosis call for the greatest care and supervision. In this report we can but barely touch upon the great importance of this branch of the work and of the danger that comes to all from the proximity of this infectious class of inmates. They should not find lodgment within the walls of an almshouse or in any institution other than a hospital properly equipped for their care. These cases are sent in to us as the sick poor, their ail- ment is diagnosed and we segregate them so far as possible. We have to bear in mind constantly that the State Almshouse is not a sanitorium for the benefit of the tuberculous. Un- fortunately these patients are here, they are increasing in num- ber and something should be done speedily for them in the way of better quarters and larger yard-area, away from the other in- mates. We are now receiving a number of cases that come from other sanatorium s."

'^While there has been a decrease of patients during the year over last year, yet this is not evident in the tubercular class."

*'The new building in the rear of the main building has l)een carried along as fast as the limited number of men and the de- mand in other directions for the service of the master-mechan- ics would allow. If nothing prevents, we shall be using the recreation-room before the end of January."

'^The condition of the buildings is very good and, so far as can be determined now, no extensive repairs or changes will be necessary more than already have been provided for."

Regarding the health of the inmates Dr. Jones reports:

'The number of deaths was lower than last year, being 184. Of this number, tuberculosis was responsible for 54, divided as follows: — males 45, females 9. A large number of cases of paralysis were noted the past year, and of these 20 died. Dur- ing the winter an epidemic of influenza prevailed, but was not of a severe type. In the summer, a large number of cases of dysentery appeared among the aged patients; it was severe in character and caused a number of deaths. No cases of con- tagious disease developed among the inmates; among the corps of attendants one case of scarlet fever and one case of diphthe- ria developed, both women.'

'During the year, 22 children were born; two of these were still born. At present the nursery department is the only one

that is not overcrowded and the chihlren show by their appear- ance the advantages of plenteous sunlight and fresh air. In the early spring months, several of the babies w^ere attacked by broncho-pneumonia, and two died after a prolonged illness.'

'Several cases of opthalmia-neonatorum appeared, and one case was under special nursing day and night for a long period before we felt confident that the eyesight was not lost. There were no other cases of contagious diseases among the children.'

'We note with pleasure a considerable improvement in the general appearance of the wards in the male department, due in a great measure to the presence of female attendants there- in.'

''As has been their custom, members of the W. 0. T. U. made their annual offerings which involves considerable expenditure of time and money. A kind friend from Kingston made sever- al offerings of flowers to the sick ; others donated magazines and reading matter, while at Christmas time a party of ladies from Providence, under the leadership of Mrs. Paye, an old-time friend of the Institution, presented each one on the female side with a pretty box of candy. Our thanks, on behalf of the in- mates, are due these people and all who have in any way con- tributed to brighten a moment of their lives. Members of the Board would have been touched, had they been present, by the expressions of satisfaction of the inmates over the Christmas dinner of 'turkey and fixins' provided by them. From this the inmates went to the Chapel where, after a short entertain- ment, each one was presented with some token by a genuine Santa Claus."

Respectfully submitted,

FRED B. JEWETT, M. D.,

Superintendent.

STATE PRISON AND PROVIDENCE COUNTY JAIL.

Warden:

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ c Mr. Andrew J. Wilcox.

JCeeper of Zrro»ttie9ee Counfy ^aii,* 2)epiiiy Wanien: Mr. S. EdMUND SlOCUM.

Plans are in preparation for the construction of a new Jail and this renders unnecessary any detailed statement of the lack of accommodations at these institutions to which the attention of the General Assembly has been called in many previous reports. The plans here referred to are spoken of under the head of Construction in this report.

The following report of the Warden to the Board tells con- cisely the story of the operation of the Prison and Jail during 1909.

POPULATION.

"'During the year 1909, 48 persons were committed to the Rhode Island State Prison, 39 were discharged and four were pardoned. The total number in the State Prison on the 31st day of December, 1909, was 129."

''Tliere were committed to the Providence County Jail dur- ing the year 1909, 2051 persons; 2107 were discharged during the year, one was pardoned and three died. The total number in Jail December, 31st, 1909, was 326."

'"The total number of persons committed to the Rhode Is- land State Prison and Providence County Jail together during the year 1909 was 2099; the total number discharged was 2157; live were pardoned and three died. The total number of persons in the Rhode Island State Prison and Providence County Jail together December 3l8t, 1909, was 465."

''There were two persons less committed to the State Prison during the year 1909 than during the year 1908, and 88 persons less committed to the Providence County Jail during the year 1909 than during 1908, making a total of 85 less committed to the two institutions during 1909 than during 1908."

INDUSTRIES.

"For the past year the industries were the same as the year previous, having been divided betw een the manufacture of shirts and wire goods, farming and the care of buildings and other property."

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 45

LIBRARY.

"The Library is in its usual good condition, and has been somewhat increased by magazines and other periodicals that accumulated during the year. These have been bound, there- by making them useful reading for a long time to come. The addition of a few desirable, modern books would be greatly appreciated."

REPAIR8 AND IMPROVEMENTS.

"Such repairs as were necessary to keep the buildings in good condition were made during the year. A carriage-shed, 18 ft. X 20 ft., was erected and our two boilers were replaced by two new ones. New floors were laid and a general renovation of the officers' quarters in the Warden's house was made during the year, and a temporary dining-hall was built for the use of the officers."

DISCIPLINE.

"The discipline during the past year was very good ; it was especially so, considering the fact that we were obliged to keep several men in the same cell in the County Jail, in several in- stances, as well as a large number in each of the two buildings in the yard."

INCOME AND EXPENDITURES.

"Our income for the past year was $6,848.80 in excess of that earned in 1908. Our expenditures amounted to $2661. 95 more than for the previous year. Our expenditures would have been considerably less than for 1908 except for the large ex- pense occasioned by the typhoid epidemic."

FARM.

"During the past year the farm was conducted in the same manner as in years passed, and the results were very satisfac- tory."

HEALTH.

"During the year 1909 the health of the inmates was about the average of institutions of this character."

"The Resident Physician, Henry A. Jones, M. D., in his re- port says:"

'The number of cj^see treated ia the hospital for the year

numbered 117. The number of deaths for the year was three (all the deaths were in the Jail) and were caused as follows:

Alcoholism „ 8

Typhoid fever ^ 1

Total - 8

We had a large number of cases of bronchitis, influenza and tonsilitis during the winter months, and about the usual number of cases of intestinal diseases during the summer. A number of these cases were severely ill from dysentery.'

'There were no deaths in the Rhode Island State Prison during the year.'

''During the latter part of August, several of our oflScers were taken with typhoid fever. They were immediately re- moved to the Rhode Island Hospital, (with the exception of two, who preferred to be taken to their homes,) where they could receive the very best medical attendance to be procured, as well as the best of care and attention. Notwithstanding the fact that everything possible was done for them, six officers died. This was a severe loss to the institutions, as these offi- cers had been, many of them, employed here for a long time, and had been found worthy of every responsibility placed upon them."

''I again wish to express my appreciation of the able and courteous manner in which the chaplain, officiating clergymen, physicians and officers have supported me in the performance of my duties, and I desire to thank your Honorable Board for its hearty co-operation, as well as for the many kindnesses ex- tended during the past year."

REPORT OP THE BOARD. 49

SOOKANOSSET SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

Smj^n'miwmtt^mif Mr. EzEKIEL E. GARDNER.

The following is from the annual report of Mr. Gardner to the Board :

7jo M# X^ani of Siaio Chariiios and Corrociions: ' *

Gentlemen : — I have the honor to present a general report of the Sockanosset School for the year 1909, which includes a syn- opsis of work and conditions in all the departments, together with such suggestions as seem to me necessary for a continued success in the line of work to be carried out."

*'We believe that the past year has been a successful one at the Sockanosset School. No casualty occurred and we have the gratifying knowledge that many boys who have gone from us are doing excellent work and are earning a living in some trade, the rudiments and general knowledge of which were obtained from our instructors. We have noted with pleasure that there is very little, if any, prejudice against our boys and that many industrial establishments readily give them employment, en- courage them and increase their compensation according to their efficiency. I could name scores of boys at the present moment who are a credit to the School and whose conduct and good work in the outside world encourage us to an added effort in the future for all boys that come to us."

*'The industrial department of an institution such as this has ceased to be an experiment; it has proven conclusively, be- yond the shadow of a doubt, a wise investment, inasmuch as it makes the boy, who had been in many ways a continued law- breaker, or so wayward that he needed restraint and instruction, a wage earner able to earn his own living and free from the conditions that proved his undoing."

'*The following is a brief outline of the work of the different departments :

80H00L OF LETTERS.

**During my administration, 1 have appointed to the position of Supervisor of Schools, one of our teachers, Mrs. Mabel R. L. Dawley, whose conscientious work is fully appreciated. The course of study has been revised and systematized until now we have a course which seems fitted to our needs. Each school is

50 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

conducted, as nearly as is practicable in our present condition, as a graded school. Thepresenceof many grades in the same school-room is,. of course, somewhat detrimental to the best results, but we have succeeded in keeping our boys in the grade equivalent to that established in the City schools. This can be realized by the fact of our having fifty weeks of school each year, whereas the public schools have about forty."

''In addition to the schedule of the previous year, we have added a practical course in language work ; this to be taken in conjunction with the writing lessons. So far, ft seems to be very satisfactory and helpful, for our boys appear to learn more in language by observation or by imitation and practice than by formal teaching of rules; hence our reason for a schedule of this sort."

*'We hold a teachers' meeting in my office the first Tuesday of each month for the purpose of general discussion upon mat- ters pertaining to the school work, at which time we discuss not only delinquent cases, but a general formulating of meth- ods of obtaining special instruction along special lines, if need be with any pupil, and discipline ; in fact, all that pertains to the school work."

''Monthly tests are given the boys of each school as means of determining their standing from week to week. Twice dur- ing the year examinations have been prepared and held in each school, covering the work assigned in each study for a given period. The average for the whole school obtained from these examinations during the year was 86 per cent., which I con- sider very commendable and seems to show that conscientious work is being done at the School. When we consider the dis- advantage of so many grades in a room and our short time of study, this average is a very creditable showing."

"We have found our change in arithmetics to be of great ad- vantage and I would respectfully recommend a change in readers and spellers to some more suitable to our needs. Our geogra- phies are not thoroughly up to date, but I would defer a recom- mendation upon these to another year. My object in recom- mending one change each year, is that I wish to keep our school system up to date if possible."

"To illustrate the change in population and to emphasize the fact of the changes of pupils in our school system, it may be

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 51

well to give an outline of commitments and discharges for the past year. The number of boys decreased from 872 at the be- ginning of the year to819 at the close. The daily average num- ber was 889, which was 47 less than the daily average of last year. The number of commitments was 448 and 496 were dis- charged during the year. The larger number of discharges the past year was due to a large number of commitments of boys in 1907, the greater number of whom earned their parole in the early part of 1909."

MILITART AND BAND DEPARTMENT.

*'The Sockanosset Battalion has maintained its usual stand- ard of efficiency under the instruction of Fred F. DriscoU who was newly appointed in 1909. We are sure that the military de- partment is a valuable adjunct to an institution of this kind, as it not only trains a boy to assume a respectful attitude at all times towards his fellow beings, but it is a source of physi- cal instruction as well, and we find it an excellent aid to physi- cal development."

*'Our band, under the instruction of Fred E. Adams, who has been with us many years, still continues to do excellent work when you consider that the band changes its entire personnel at least once every year. We have always some forty-five or fifty boys under instruction in order to maintain a band of twenty-five pieces. We purchased no new instruments dur- ing the past year; although given permission to obtain two new cornets we have gotten along without them to this time. The band played at only one outside entertainment during the year, which was for the Public School Play Grounds' Association on their Field Day Exhibit. The Board of State Charities and Corrections found it necessary a year ago to curtail the privi- lege of the use of our band by outside parties on account of the numerous applications for it."

CARPENTER SHOP.

"Under the instruction of Nathaniel J. Pottle, this depart- ment has maintained its usual high class of efficiency, the boys receiving at the beginning of their shop experience, a theory course and primary instruction in architectural drafting. They begin on repair work and pass to new work after some eight months of instruction, Thip shop is an asset to the institution

by way of repair work done, which, of course, is a saving and proves a valuable form of instruction. For instance, we built some sixty window screens and twelve screen doors for the State Prison, one hundred and twenty window screens and four screen doors for the Oaklawn School, besides a number of ward- robes and other inside fixtures. We built new seats for our chapel here, brooders for our hennery, twenty-five folding tables for the State Hospital for the Insane, besides general re- pairs for the various institutions.''

MAOHINX SHOP.

''Under the instruction of Howard H. Dawley, the method obtaining in this shop is very similar, by way of lesson work and primary instruction, to that of the other industrial depart- ments, except that we have a class in mechanical drafting which furnishes instruction and detail drawing for work to be done in tlie shop. Every boy in the department has a turn at lesson work and repair work drafting. We have done dur- ing the year a large amount of repair work of various kinds for our own and other institutions. Among our new work for the year, we finished fifteen iron bed-steads for our new emergency hospital and are working at the present time upon fifty bed- steads to be used at the State Hospital for the Insane. We added a power hack-saw, during the year, to this department and find it very useful. We have also kept up a full line of tools, which are in constant use in this department at all times. ^'

BLAOKBMITH SHOP.

''Under the instruction of George Chambers, this department is conducted in its primary instruction very similar to the other departments. We have a wide and varied class of work, in- cluding horse-shoeing, wagon making and all sorts of iron work usually done in a general repair work shop; also, the forging of all tools to be finished and used in other departments of the School. We find here a department that needs a rugged and sturdy class of boys, not necessarily advanced in class work, but strong physically. A very satisfactory result has been obtain- ed during the past year."

PRINTINe DEPARTMENT.

**Under the instruction of Roy B. Layman, this department

EBPOKT OF THX BOARD. 58

has continued its good work of previous years. The work furn- ished us by the different departments of the Institutions, is widely diversified and very valuable as a means of instruction. We have, as formerly, printed the Annual Report of the Board of State Oharities and Corrections together with other general work for the Institutions."

MA80N SHOP.

*'Under the Instruction of Edward W. Foster, this department accomplished a large amount of work during the past year. In February, 1909, we turned several arches in the new building at the State Almshouse. During the months of March and April, the entire force of masons were busy at the State Work- house and House of Correction making extensive alterations in the laundry plant. During the early part of May , they cement- ed the floor of the bakery at the same institution. Two weeks during the month of May, they were cementing the basement floor at the Oaklawn School for Girls. During the month of September, two hundred feet of conduit was built at the State Hospital for the Insane. Since October 20th, they have been building a cold storage room at our main building. Together with the above, a thorough patching, where needed, in all the buildings at the School was done and, besides this, other neces- sary repair work. This force is capable of doing very excellent work.'*

SHOE DEPARTMENT.

'"Under the instruction of Alphida Bouthillier, this depart- ment has maintained its general degree of success. We are al- ways very busy in this department, inasmuch as in addition to the repairing of all of the shoes worn in this institution, we repair those of the State Hospital for the Insane. We hope later to have a more modern system of appliances in this department, but it is thought that, considering the conditions, remarkable work is done here.''

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

'*The ten boys of this department, under the valuable instruc- tion of 0. W. Adams, repair the steam-heating and power plant, the electrical apparatus, the telephone system and other kindred work,** •

*'Under the instruction of Lillian 0. Creasey, we have been able to continue our good work of past years and, considering the bad condition of the machinery, we feel that the matron of this department deserves credit for the accomplishment of such good results."

''Under the instruction of Angie K. Stover, this department is a busy one. In it we make all clothing worn by the boys, except underclothing, and also repair all clothing, including underclothing."

BARN AND FARM DEPARTMENT.

''Under the instruction of John M. Whitten, this depart- ment has accomplished excellent results during the year. An itemized statement of crops raised will be found elsewhere in this report. We were unfortunate in having a dry season the past year which affected our potato crop seriously. Otherwise, the result of our farming was very satisfactory. We raised enough of all other vegetables to carry us through the winter."

"Connected with this department is the greenhouse, which has been very well conducted. We have raised a largeamount of flowers that have been put in use at the institution and have been a source of enjoyment to everyone. Also we have succeeded in teaching floriculture to a class of three boys at a time."

"The poultry plant under the instruction of Fred M. Howard has been very successfully conducted, we feel, as our report will show. We raised 685 fowls the past year and succeeded in furnishing eggs enough for the use of the entire insti- tution, with the exception of three cases bought in November. Figuring from an exact cost standpoint, this department shows a balance over and above all expenses of $759.88."

HEALTH.

"The health of our boys was very good, generally speak- ing, during the year. Under the efficient and conscientious supervision of Dr. Henry A. Jones, Resident Physician, and Miss Slayton, Resident Nurse, the results were very satisfac- tory and are sincerely appreciated by this administration, I

will quote from the report of Dr. Jones, Resident Physician of State Institutions, the following:

'During the past year there has been about the usual num- ber of cases treated at the hospital, and these vary all the way from a splinter in the finger of a child to cases of contagious disease.'

'Among such a multitude of boys, coming as they do from many unsanitary homes, the wonder grows that there is no more sickness among them and a larger number of cases of conta- gious disease present, not periodically, but all the time.'

'We have been fortunate in that no cases of scarlet fever developed here during the year.'

'An epidemic of measles, numbering in all seven cases, ap- peared in the late autumn months, and the boys who contract- ed the disease were promptly quarantined in the new emer- gency hospital, under the supervision of a special nurse. The cases made a good recovery although with a somewhat prolonged period of convalescence in two cases.'

*Apart from this epidemic, the number of other cases of contagious disease was very small. Only one case of diphtheria developed, and also one case of whooping-cough. One case of typhoid fever developing in the autumn gave rise to some con- cern lest there should be an epidemic, but this case, one of the matrons, was removed to a hospital from the vicinity of the School and no other cases appeared.'

'One case of acute insanity was committed to the State Hospital for the Insane for care and treatment.'

'We regret to report, for the first time in a number of years, a death in this institution, that of a colored boy who developed pleuro-pneumonia. This case assuming a tubercular tendency, was transferred to the tuberculosis ward at the State Alms- house for special treatment, but died after being there a short time. Apart from the cases mentioned the general health of the institution has been good.'

AMUSEMENTS.

"Very little is done for our boys by way of amusements that is of much cost tt) the State. The usual excursion of the year at Gaspee Point took place in August and was greatly enjoyed by all. Besides this, there is the visit to Keith's Theatre, which takes place Ohristmas week of each year at a cost to the State of

56 STATE CHARiTtBS AKB OORkECTiONd.

the expense of transportation. These two items are the extent of cost outside of a few dollars expended in preparing for the winter entertaiunienls."

''I feel that instead of encouraging inside games and that form of entertainment, we have a better way of encouraging and helping in games to take place upon the play grounds. Much time is devoted by the officers of the School in instruct- ing and directing games of an athletic nature of all kinds; namely, base-ball, foot-ball, basket-ball, running races etc. Many of the boys come to us emaciated and in poor physical health due to previous neglect and abuse, and the place to build them up, we are sure, is in the open air.'*

AFTER-CARE.

'*When a boy is released from this institution, some respon- sible person signs an agreement to exercise care and authority over him. He has to report, upon a quarterly report blank sent to him, for two years as to his employment, habits and associates. This report must be countersigned by the person whose signature we have on the former agreement. Together with this, we have frequent correspondence and personal com- munication with the boy and with those who know about him. We visit as much as is possible the place where he lives and also the place of his employment. In this way we are able to keep a careful supervision of the boy. We use for ihis any- body and everybody connected with the School. All are liable to be called upon at any time for duties of this kind, but we usually select the officer or teacher who had the most to do with this particular individual while he was an inmate of the institution. In this way, the boy learns that he always has a friend to turu to. '

'1 wish to express to your Honorable Board my entire ap- preciation of the utmost kindness and moral support always received at your hands, which enable me to give the best that is in me to help the boys, who, by unfortunate conditions or neglect on the part of somebody, compel the State to step in and direct their future.''

OAKLAWN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

^uperinUmiienif Mr8. OlaRA F. FoRBUSH.

T^airon im cAarye of ihe Eastman Coiiayo.' MrS. FRANCES R. KeENE.

The new Cottage, begun in 1906 and completed, as to con- struction, in 1908, was occupied September 20, 1909. It has been named Eastman Cottage in memory of the late James H. Eastman who was for several years Superintendent of the Oak- lawn School for Girls.

Fifteen girls were sentenced to the School by the courts in 1909, one more than in 1908. The number in the School is eleven larger than the number December 81, 1908. Two girls were admitted by the Board of State Charities and Corrections.

One girl was sentenced for vagrancy; three for lewdness; six for disorderly conduct; one for theft; three for truancy; and one for concealing the birth of a child in such manner that it could not be known whether it was born dead or alive.

The ages of the girls at the time of sentence, or admission, were: One, eleven years; one, twelve years; two, thirteen years; five, fourteen years; three, fifteen years; four, sixteen years and one, seventeen years.

Mrs. Forbush, Superintendent, reports as follows:

''The girls have been employed as usual in the different de- partments of the School, namely, general house-work, laundry, kitchen and sewing-room, in which last named department an extra amount of work was done preparatory to the opening of the new cottage spoken of in previous reports."

''This new cottage, named in memory of our late Superin- tendent, James H. Eastman, was opened September 20th. It is fitted with all the modern improvements, including electric lights, and the furnishings are in keeping with the building. Quite a number of beautiful and interesting pictures adorn the walls of many of the rooms and the lower hall of the cottage. In the school-room hangs a picture of Mr. Eastman which was presented by Mrs. Eastman at Christmas time."

"An organ has been placed in the school-room and an upright piano in the sewing-room."

"The younger girls and those without immoral history were selected and transferred to Eastman Cottage, the number being twenty- three."

''They are under the care of a matron, Mrs. Frances R. Keene, two assistants and a school-teacher, the last mentioned having been transferred from the old building."

''The religious service, conducted by Chaplain Ewer, is held in the sewing-room of the old cottage, on Sunday afternoon, as in the past, and the Catholic girls assemble for Mass at the same place, on the second Sunday of each month."

"The sisters of mercy made their usual visits to the School the past year, and have done a great deal of good, bringing literature and attending to the spiritual needs of the girls whom they instruct."

"A class in physical culture is still maintained in each cot- tage."

"All holidays were observed at the School in much the same manner as in previous years. Underthedirectionof the teach- ers, entertainments were given by the girls on Washington's Birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas."

"A clam-bake was prepared for the girls on the School grounds, as in past years."

"Kind friends have donated books, periodicals and other gifts during the year."

"The discipline of the School has been kept up to the usual standard."

"Each girl has her flower bed, as in years past, money being furnished by a friend in Providence to purchase seeds and plants for these beds."

"All the vegetables consumed at the School through the sum- mer were raised in the school garden, except potatoes, and the work, except the preparation of the ground, was done by four girls under the direction of a matron."

"The following is from the report of Dr. Jones, regarding the health of the girls:"

'During the early winter months of the past year the School was visited by an epidemic of influenza, that was characterized by unusual severity, and accompanied by a bronchial affection that was profoundly prostrating in its effects and most resist- ant to medication of every sort.'

'The matrons and teachers were much more prostrated than the inmates by this disease, one matron having it in such a severe form that she was compelled to obtain a long leave of

absence from duty ere she regained her usual health.'

*One case was transferred to the Almshouse for operaticm and treatment. This case, a young girl, remained there near- ly one month before she was cured.'

'Apart from the epidemic alluded to, the health of the in- mates has been good.'

REPORT

OF THE RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTOR.

Gentlemen : — I have the honor to present my report for the year ending December 31, 1909 :

Nothing has occurred during the year to affect unfavorably the religious work at the State Institutions. The services con- tinue to be held in the order established many years ago, and no reason has yet appeared to warrant a change. The singing is excellent, especially in the larger gatherings for worship, due to competent leadership and frequent rehearsals. These services are useful every way; not only in mitigating the severity of close confinement in the penal institutions, but also in the encouragement of those who feel that they are ''down and out," having no friends and no future.

For my colleagues as well as for myself permit me to ac- knowledge the friendly good-will and cooperation of the gov- erning Board, expressed in response to our requests for litera- ture and other requisites of our work. Permit me to say that our Prison and Jail library needs replenishing by adding a considerable number of recent and readable publications. 1 would also recommend the admission of the daily newspaper, under proper conditions and restriction. The reading of the daily press might suitably be made a premium for good behav- ior.

Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES H. EWER,

Reliqious Instructor.

REPORT

OF THE DENTAL SURGEON.

Zjo M# ^oarti of Siaio Chariiims and Corroeitonsi

Gentlemen: — I have the honor to present my first report. The office of Dental Surgeon at the State Institutions was created by the Board December 10, 1909.

Previous thereto, dental service had been rendered at casual intervals. When I entered upon the duties of the office, I found the oral conditions to be such as to show conclusively the need of a dental surgeon and the great usefulness of such an officer, if his duties be conscientiously performed. It is my aim thus to perform those duties and to make material improvement in those conditions.

For the most part, attention is required at the Institutions for the boys and girls. It is my purpose so to treat the various cases that the inmates who are first to leave shall have been cared for when they go out from the Institutions, due con- sideration being given cases requiring immediate attention. Respectfully submitted,

ERVIN A. RANDALL,

Dbntal Surgeon.

The above table includes the children born at the Almshouse who are counted as coming from the same place as their moth- ers.

The sum of $6,181.40 was collected for the board of several of the inmates from the cities and towns of their legal settle- ment.

REMOVAL OF PAUPERS.

There were removed, during the year, 481 persons. Of this number, 419 were sent away from the state, fifty-nine of whom were sent to foreign countries, and sixty-two were sent to places within the state.

Fifty-two of the whole number had been inmatesof the Work- house and House of Correction; thirty-one, of the State Alms- house; thirty-one, of the State Hospital for the Insane; eight, of the Providence County Jail; one of the State Prison; and one of the Oaklawn School.

Included in the above total, 481, there were thirty-five in- sane persons, of whom thirty-one were from the State Hospi- tal for the Insane and four from places where they had been cared for temporarily.

LICENSED BOARDING PLACES FOR INFANTS.

Under the provisions of the law licensing and regulating the receiving, boarding and keeping of infants, thirty -one licenses were issued the past year, forty infant inmates were recorded and eighty-two visits to licensed places were made by represent- Atives of this department.

l40 StATK CtiARtTll88 A!rt> OOftRBCTtONd.

The number of licenses in effect December 81, 1909, was twenty-two, distributed as follows : Six in Providence, three in East Providence, six in Cranston, one in Pawtucket, one in Harrington, two in Newport, and three in Foster.

We recommend that the following provisions be added to the present law : —

All places where infants under the age of four years are boarded should be subject to inspection by the Board of State Charities and Corrections, or an agent of said Board, except such institutions as have been or may be chartered by special acts of the General Assembly and are exempt from such in- spection by provisions in their charters to that effect.

Maternity hospitals, so called, or places where pregnant women are boarded and delivered of children, should be re- quired to be licensed in the same manner as are persons who board infants, and should be subject to inspection in like manner, except such as are specially chartered by the General Assembly and are exempt from inspection by charter.

Persons should be allowed to board a single infant without a license, but such persons should be required to report the name, age and birthplace of an infant taken by them to board and other information required by the Board of State Charities and Corrections, on blanks furnished by the Board.

The law should be amended in Chapter 141, Section 1, so as to read four years instead of two years. At present persons may take to board infants above the age of two years without license and without inspection.

The following table shows the sums collected each month during tlie year ending December 31, 1909, on account of the several departments of the Agent's work :

The sum of 125,061.82 in the foregoing table was collected during the year for the board and medical attendance of pa- tients supported at the State Hospital for the Insane by their relatives or friends. The increase in the collection for board, care and medical attendance of the patients at the State Hos- pital for the Insane this year aggregates nearly $6,000.00 due in part, at least, to the change in the law authorizing the Board of State Charities and Corrections to receive private patients without limitation as to the cost of their maintenance.

REPORT OF MAROARKT H. DKNNKHY, PROBATION OFFICER FOR WOMEN AND GIKL8 OF TUB TITY OF PROVIDENCE.

During tlio year 1909, two hundred and seventy-four women and girls wore arraigned in the Criminal Division of the Sixth District ( ^ourt and twenty-two juveniles were arrainged in the Juvenile Court.

One hundred and two women and girls were committed to the charge of the Probation Officer for Women from the Sixth District Court, twenty girls from the Juvenile Court, and two from the Superior Court.

Tliree juveniles and four adults, who had violated the con- ditions of their probation, were surrendered for sentence to the Court.

Seventeen adults and six juveniles were placed in private institutions, for at least a part of their term of probation, one juvenile was sent to her home in Ireland, and four were placed in private families where they have good homes, Christian in- fluence, and fair remuneration. It is unfortunate that domes- tic service does not appeal to the majority of these girls, as there is a constant demand for their services. Twenty-three were sent to their homes in other states, most of whom were accom- panied to this city by men well known to the police as having criminal records. The remaining twenty-six women and girls live with their families and those not attending school are working to help support their relatives.

The captains of the different precincts placed in the care of the Probation Officer for Women, forty-three women and girls arrested as suspicious persons. Seventeen belonged in this State and twenty-six were sent to their respective homes, two of whom were eighteen years of age and crippled, who had been brought to this city from Philadelphia for the purpose of begging to support the man who brought them. He was arrested and sentenced on a vagrancy charge ; the girls were held a few days pending investigation before sending to their homes.

The Probation Officer for Women works in cordial co-opera- tion with all agencies of a charitable nature, the Overseer of Poor, and the Providence Lying-in Hospital, and during the year ad- mitted from the said hospital sixteen young mothers and their infants to the Maternity Annex of the Providence Rescue Home. Eighteen unfortunate young women »bout to become mothers

CONSTRUCTION.

RECKPTION HOSPITAL FOR THE STATK HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.

The appropriation of $800,000., made by the General Assem- bly at the January Session, 1909, *'for permanent improvements at the State Institutions at Cranston, to be expended under the direction of the Board of State Charities and Corrections," will be used for this building, with the exception of about eight hundred dollars expended for other construction. The building is described in a report of the architects, Messrs. Mar- tin and Hall, that may be found in an appendix to this report.

The architects report as follows regarding the contracts made and the progress of the work :

''The contract for the general construction of the Reception Hospital was awarded on the 19th day of May, 1910, to David J. Barry, in the sum of $216,000. Active work on the struc- ture was commenced immediately and has proceeded rapidly to the present time. The building is entirely roofed-in and the exterior is nearly completed ; the interior work is progres- sing so that the building may be lathed and plastered early in the spring.''

''The contract for the plumbing system was awarded January 9, 1911, to the Tierney-Colgan Co. in the sum of $26,082.00, and for the electrical system on same date to the H. B. Rust Co. in the sum of $11,994.00. These systems are now being in- stalled and the contract for the heating system will be awarded in the near future.''

"The building will be completed and ready for occupation by January 1, 1912."

SCHOOL BUILDING FOR THE 80CKAN0S8ET SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

The purpose of this building is stated under the head of Sockanosset School for Boys and a description of it may be found in an appendix to this report, where several buildings planned by Messrs. Martin and Hall are described by them.

COTTAGE FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE STATE FARM.

(Having charge of the Workhouse and House of Correction and of the Almshouse, and of so much of the territory of the Institutions as has not been set oflF to the other Institutions.)

The architects, Messrs. Martin & Hall, thus describe this Cottage :

"This building will be located well back,^ bordering ou Pon-

RBPORT OF THE BOARD. 18

tiac Avenue and immediately opposite the Almshouse. It will be a shingled structure, 81 feet by 46 feet, two and one-half stories in height, with a hipped roof."

*'The entrance is at the center, facing Pontiac Avenue, and opens into a hall with a large living-room on the west side of the first story, and a dining-room with china-closet and pan- try on the east, adjoining which is a kitchen with rear entrance on the southerly side."

*'A front stairway extends through to the attic. In the sec- ond story are four chambers and a bath-room, and in the third story are located three chambers and a bath-room adjoining."

^^The building is simple in design and of substantial charac- ter, and will be equipped with a modern system of heating, plumbing and lighting."

The excavating for the foundation and the grading, the con- struction of the building in part, and the plumbing, the instal- lation of the steam-heating apparatus, the gas-piping and the wiring for electricity were done by mechanics of the Institu- tions.

At the close of 1910 the Cottage was almost completed at a cost of $5,886.29.

NEW BUILDING IN ALMSHOUSE YARD.

This building commenced in 1908 and described in the report of the Board of that year, is so far completed that the smoking- room on the first floor has been occupied. The dormitory above will soon be ready for occupancy. The cost of the building to date has been $6,816.12.

STATE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.

Jtipen'mi^mtfeni Dr. ArTHUR H. HARRINGTON.

^eptiiyJttpi. Dr. George E. Simpson.

In presenting below the report of Dr. Harrington, the Board call attention to the requirements of the State Hospital for the Insane as shown by the Superintendent. The increase of daily average number of patients during the past year was jiixty-six, and the total number, December 31, 1910, was 1,146. The increase for a number of years has been provided for by using the day spaces as sleeping-rooms, but this resource has its limit.

The new Reception Hospital, referred to above under the head of Construction, and now largely under contract, will ap- parently not relieve the present crowded condition of the old buildings, according to Dr. Harrington, who says in his report, referring to the need of additional accommodations: '*It must be borne in mind that the Reception Hospital does not furnish any direct or lasting relief to the crowding of the main hospi- tal plant."

Speaking of the old wooden structures, he says that they are ''fast falling into irreparable decay and contain equipment long since obsolete. Physically the buildings are unsafe and insanitary.^ ^

''The need of an Adminstration Building is greater than ever; our pmall office space is crowded and cramped beyond meas- ure.''

In regard to the laundry Dr. Harrington says: "We need a new laundry this year. We cannot properly keep up with the demand upon the laundry at the present time and I fail to see how we can open the new Reception Hospital without this de- mand for increased laundry facilities being met,'' and he adds: "I would moMt respectfully urge that renewed efforts be made during the session of the General Assembly of 1911 to have these matters presented anew and that the representatives of the people be invoked to remedy these conditions without any delay."

A full description of the Reception Hospital will be found in a report of the architects in an appendix to this report of the Board.

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 15

consideration the following report of the State Hospital for the Insane and such matters as seem pertinent thereto, for the year ending December 81, 1910/'

'*0n January 1, 1910, there were 1,101 patients present in the Hospital for the Insane. The number of admissions during the year wa8€<42; the number returned from parole was 46; the number returned from escape was 25; making the total num- ber of cases for the year, 1513."

'*The number of patients discharged or paroled was 226 ; there were 29 escapes during the year ; the number of deaths was 112 ; leaving the total number remaining at the close of the year, 1,146.''

*'The daily average number of patients for the year was 1,183, which is larger by 66 than the daily average for the previous year.''

^'As to nativity, 125 patients of the 342 admitted, were born in Rhode Island and 75 in other parts of the United States. The birth places of four were unascertained; 188 were natives of foreign countries; of the latter number 28.9% were born in Ireland; 18.1% in England; 20.2% in the British Provinces; 6.5% in Italy; 5.7% in Portugal; 2.8% in Russia. Of the 888 patients admitted, whose birth-places were known, we find that 40.8% of this number were born in foreign countries. Of the 342 patients admitted it was ascertained that the fa- thers of 48 and the mothers of 44 were born in Rhode Island. The fathers of 33 and the mothers of 86 were born in other parts of the United States. The fathers of 222 and the moth- ers of 217 were of foreign birth."

"The problem of assigning the causes of mental disease in the 342 cases admitted is so complicated that we will submit only some of the data, of which we feel assured. We believe that alcoholism in the patient in 16.3% of the ca&es was the direct cause; that acquired syphilis was the cause in 3.5%. Attention is called to what seems to be a fact, that taking the sum of these percentages, 19.8% of the persons admitted owed their mental disease directly to causes which are avoidable.''

"The hereditary factor in mental disease is potent, but we believe that conservatism should be exercised in invoking this cause without the most positive evidence. In individual cases the problem may not be diflicult, but when dealing with a group of a year's admissions we believe that it is unwise to make sweeping assertions,"

16 STAT£ CHARITI£S AND OORRSCTIONS.

''We prefor to state the case as follows: A clear family his- tory was obtained in 260 of the cases admitted. In 44A% of these cases, there was insanity in parents or grandparents. In 24.4% there was insanity in uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters or cousins.'^

'*The sum of all the hereditary factors, so called, was 190. Thtit is to say 250 of the persons admitted had 190 blood re- lations who were suffering with, or who had had attacks of, mental disease.''

*'The number of persons who were given a final discharge by your Board and otherwise was 167: of these 41 were recovered, making the percentage of recoveries, based upon the number of discharges, 28.9%. The percentage of recoveries based on the total number of admissions was 12%. The number of per- sons sent from the State to other states or countries to which they belong was 26."

'*The number of deaths was 112. The average number of mouths of liospital care of those who died was 66.6% ; 19.6% of those who died were over 70 years of age. There were ten cases of typhoid fever among the patients during the year, with one death. We were unable tu trace the typhoid infec- tion to its source. We are confident that we have discovered the presence of the disease pellagra in five patients, two of whom have died."

'"Further detailed information of a statistical nature will be found in the tables which accompany this report."

VIOLENT DRATHS AND ACCIDENTS.

''An event to be deplored was the death of a patient from fracture of the skull while in charge of an attendant."

"The proper authorities were notified, the arrest of the at- tendant followed and he is now awaiting trial on the charge of manslaughter." *

''One patient, an epileptic, who had been in the hospital for twelve years, committed suicide by hanging himself to the transom-guard of his room, in the night."

"Another patient seized the opportunity when the attention of her attendant was distracted by a violent patient, to run upon the fire-escape and to throw herself to the ground with suicidal intent. The attempt at suicide was not successful, but the patient sustained a serious fracture of the leg." •The trial took place Feb. 14, 1911 and the attendant wxs acquitted.

GIFTS.

**We are indebted to the following named persons for vari- ous gifts which we desire gratefully to acknowledge.''

"'Through Mrs. A. R. French we have on several occasions received from the Women's Temperance Union flowers and fruit for the sick ; from Miss S. E. Pollard and Mrs. R. H. I. Goddard, reading matter; from Mrs. H. N. Reynolds, Christ- mas wreaths; from Mr. W. H. Bailey, records for the Victor Talking Machine; from Miss Ethel Munro, confectionery; from Mrs. Lydia Oooper, flowers; and from Miss Helena Hynds, two dozen pairs of men's mittens."

AMUSEMENTS AND ENTERTAINMENTS.

'"Weekly dances have been held in the Assembly Hall for the patients, except in the summer months. Other entertain- ments have been the following: March 10, through the kind offices of the Rev. 0. Oonal McKay, a musical entertainment; March 19, two friends of the Hospital provided a musical en- tertainment and reading; May 80, u clambake was given to a number of the patients who assist in the general work of the Hospital; June 10, Rev. Mr. Alger gave an entertaining lec- ture; June 28, through the kindness of Rev. Charles D. Crane, a musical entertainment with readings; July 10, a vocal con- cert by the well known artists, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Martin ; Aug. 16 illustrated lecture on aviation by Prof. Charles L. Harrington ; Aug. 25, an outing and shore dinner at Palace Gardens attended by 160 patients: Oct. 81, Halloween party, games and short play given by officers of the Hospital; Nov. 25, sheet and pillow case party."

**Several local musicians have from time to time assisted our regular orchestra. To them and to all who have contributed in any way to the entertainment of our patients we desire to express cmr grateful acknowledgements."

REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

'*A new toilet-room has been put into the office-building. There have been renewals of a few of the old toilet fixtures in the wards. By means of 1&) feet of steam piping, returns and necessary coverings, a new steam supply has been carried to one of our buildings. A new sectional-boiler and hot-water- tank and heater have been installed in the night-watch cot- tage. 258 feet of piping of various sizes, with fittings and cov-

18 STATE CHAKITIES AND CORRECTIONS^

erings, have been used in renewing the steam supplies in this building. A new bath-tub and toilet have been installed here also. '

''214 feet of 8 inch galvanized iron piping and fittings have been used in connecting some of our buildings with the high- pressure water service. '^

**We have made and installed two dish-washing machines." '*A new night-watchman clock has been installed.' '

THE RECEPTION HOSPITAL.

''At the time of this writing the outer walls of the Recep- tion Hospital are completed and the building is roofed-in.*'

"For the information of the public who read these pages it is appropriate to state here the purpose of this structure. '^

"In previous reports we have presented the necessity,* if we are to carry out our duty as a Hospital for the Insane, to the patients committed to our care, of providing every facility, which experience has shown to be practicable, for the early observation and treatment Mthe new and acute cases of men- tal disease. This building has been planned by the architects, Messrs. Martin & Hall, with the sole purpose of meeting these needed requirements. We also gratefully acknowledge our in- '♦ebtedness to Dr. Charles P. Bancroft, Superintendent of the New Hampshire State Hospital, for his courtesy and valuable assistance in placing at our disposal the results of his own thought and practical experience and his valuable observations both in this country and abroad relative to the desirable feat- ures of construction and equipment of reception hospitals for mental cases.''

"The capacity of our Reception Hospital will be 184 beds."

A CROWDED HOSPITAL.

"The providing for the first care of the acute insane in our new Reception Hospital, when it shall have been finished, will dispose of but one of the important phases of our work. It must be borne in mind that the Reception Hospital does not furnish any direct or lasting relief to the crowding of the main hospital plant. We have at the present time 1,146 patients, which is one to each 482 persons of the present population of the State. Unless there should be some exceptional change in our social conditions, we are destined, on the most conserva- tive calculation, to have at least one person as a patient at the

Digitized by VjOOQIC

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 19

State Hospital for the Insane for each 600 persons in the popu- lation. On this basis the number of our patients will increase in this ratio with the growth in population of the State. In the period of three years, ending Dec. 3i, 1910, our daily aver- age number has increased 141 patients. At the beginning of the three-year period of which I speak we were already begin- ning to feel stress from lack of space for patients. We have managed to hcmse the additional accumulation of 141 patients by filling the proper day spaces with beds ; we are fast approach- ing the 1200 mark.'^

''Another fact which must be borne in mind is that some of our buildings are wooden structures, fast falling into irreparable decay, and containing equipment long since obsolete. Physi- callv these buildings are unsafe and insanitary; add to these two latter facts the crowded state of these wards, as described above, and we have a condition created to which we may well h>ok with apprehension."

*'I am aware that your Board is well acquainted with these conditions and that your efforts have been put forth to remedy them, but I would most respectfully urge that renewed efforts be made during the session of the General Assembly of 191J to have these matters presented anew and that the represent- atives of the people be invoked to remedy these conditions without any delay."

''I, respectfully, in this connection repeat my former recom- mendations, the urgency of which increases fnrni day to day."

''These recommendations are, that we replace these delapi- dated wood buildings with proper modern construction. Our laundry facilities are entirely inadequate. We need a new laundry building this year. We cannot properly keep up with the demands upon the laundry at the present time and I fail to 5ee how we can open the new Reception Hospital without this demand for increased laundry facilities being met."

"The need of an Administration Building for the entire Hospital for the Insane is greater than ever. Our small office space is crowded and cramped beyond measure."

MEDICAL STAFF.

"We are pained to be obliged to record the death of Dr. Ed- gar Ivory Hanscom, who has been a member of the Medical Staff for over five years. His death occurred Keb. 19, 1910, and was due to septicemia, acquired, without doubt, through

20 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

infection from a surgical case under his care in the Hospital.''

''Dr. Hanscom's loss is deeply deplored by his associates, by patients and by that portion of the public who came to know him in his official capacity, while his untimely demise, taking into account its origin, offers a lamentable instance of the toll which is sometimes exacted of the physician in the dis- charge of his medical duties.''

*'Dr T. F. Mack, after a service of eight months as interne and substitute during the illness and absence of two regular meml)er8 of the Medical Staff, resigned January 29, 1910."

**Dr. William B. Treadway, after an acceptable service of over two years, resigned April 8, 1910."

''Dr. Alvah V. Mills, Dr. Norman A. Johnson and Dr. Ed- mund A. Ehlers have been appointed to positions upon the Medical Staff."

''In closing this report I desire to refer to the recent act of the General Assembly making a provision for insane criminals. If provision for insane criminals is comprehensively planned and developed, we shall have made a most important step in advance, for it is of vital interest to the State Hospital for the Insane that the final solution of this question of providing for insane criminals shall be the doing away with the necessity of mingling at the State Hospital for the Insane two classes which require such widely divergent methods of care and custody."

"Another feature, the significance of which I trust will be fully realized, is that this act opens the opportunity for the in- troduction in the State of a psychiatric service for those held for crime pending adjudication or already sentenced, whose mental condition is at all in question."

"This matter of providing for the insane criminals will bo of great importance to the State in the future and is so closely interwoven with questions of justice to the individual that it de- serves a broad and comprehensive treatment."

"I desire publically to acknowledge my indebtedness to the officers and employees who have conscientiously aided me in carrying on the work of this Hospital the past year and I trust that I may merit your confidence in the future." Respectfully submitted,

84 STATE CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

STATE WORKHOUSE AND HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

6mp9rini0mti9nt- FrED B. JeWETT, M. D. 9^airont MrS. MarT E. WooD.

The number of persons committed to the Workhouse and House of Correction in 1910 was 597, an increase of nine com- pared with the number committed in 1909.

The daily average number in 1910 was 249; in 1909 it was 240.

Of the 697 persons committed in 1910, 224 were common- drunkards.

The Board call especial attention to the needs of the Work- house and House of Correction as regards facilities for the care of the sick. Both the Superintendent, Dr. Jewett, and the Resident Physician, Dr. Jones, in their reports, show the great need of such accommodations.

The Superintendent reports to the Board as follows :

'^ZJo M# SSoard offSiai^ Charth'^s and Corr^ci/oms/

^'Gentlemen: — I herewith present for your consideration the report of the State Workhouse and House of Correction for the year 1910. Little has occurred out of the ordinary in the general running of the institution, a condition which can obt^ain only with a faithful and conscientious corps of officers."

**Every institution that has existed for any considerable length of time must, of necessity, have conditions that appear more or less undesirable. These conditions arise from changes within the Institution, from changes in the character of the inmates or otherwise, or the conditions may seem undesirable when compared with those in newer and better equipped build- ings."

^^As an instance, we find that the average age of the men committed has increased during the past fifteen years from 87 years to nearly 45i years, and, consequently, the inmates we now have are older and more broken in health. They need more care and are less efficient as workers, and they deserve more consideration in regard to restraint and physical treat- ment."

'*The question of restraint requires deep consideration ; that of physical treatment can be more easily disposed of."

^^For the last six months there has been an average of about seven persons a day unable to work and under the doctor's care,

RBPORT OF THB BOARD. 85

while during November and December there were as many as twenty-one sick ones a day. The diseases ranged from grip to pneumonia, with occasional fractures of different bones, and insane cases, largely of alcoholic mania.''

"To take care of these we have one room Hi x 16i with beds for three patients; the others have had to receive their atten- tion in the wards or in the cells, or to be transferred to the Almshouse."

'"On the female side we have no sick-room and any case at all serious mast needs be transferred also to the Almshouse. This is by no means desirable. My suggestion for a remedy is, as suggested last year, an addition of two wards in the rear centre of the main building that would accommodate both men and women, a ward for each sex."

'*The results from the farm were, on the whole, better than in 1909, in spite of a dry summer. This was accomplished with a force rather more crippled than usual, as two gangs, with the requisite teams, spent practically all their time from January to July excavating, building foundations, and grading for the new Reception Hospital for the State Hospital for the Insane and for the Superintendent's House."

'*At various times during the year, about three months in the aggregate, the entire force was thus employed."

**An approximate estimate of the value of the farm produce at wholesale prices is $2,000. By keeping individual records of the cows, we have endeavored to weed out the least profit- able ones, and the fact that considerably more than half gave from 6,000 to 8,700 pounds of milk during the year, including the time they were dry, shows that we have good material to build upon."

'In addition to the work on the grounds and foundations of the Superintendent's house, above mentioned, the building itself was erected and brought to the point of interior finished work by the employment of outside labor, combined with our own; the plumbing, heat-installation, gas-piping and wiring were done by us."

**A gravel roof over the storehouse and kitchen, that leaked quite badly, has been put in good condition."

''The wash-room begun last year has been finished, and the washers changed, and a new all-metal washer installed, thus giving a much needed additional capacity."

36 STATE CHARITIES AKD CORRBCTIOKS.

""The need of punishment has been comparatively slight, there having been weeks at a time when nothing more harsh was required than a change of one kind of work to a less desir- able kind."

**There have been few gifts of reading matter, not so much as we desire, nor, I believe, so much as would be given were our wants better known. Our thanks are due for these gifts, and also to those persons who by their talents have furnished entertainment to the inmates."

*'I cannot close without the introduction of a note of sadness. September 12, 1910, our Deputy Superintendent, Mr. Timothy P. Dodge, while fishing in company with his brother-in-law, was taken suddenly ill and died but a short time after being brought ashore. For about thirty-three years, Mr. Dodge served the State, first at the Prison and afterwards at tlie Workhouse and House of Correction. During fourteen years acquaintance with the Rhode Island State Institutions, I have known no one more conscientious and punctilious in the per- formance of his duties, nor has anyone been more universally liked and looked upon with higher regard than Mr. Dodge. I feel that the State has lost a valuable employee and also that it is a privilege to be able to testify to his worth."

**Finally, I desire to thank the entire corps of officers for their desire and effort to advance the interests of the institu- tion to the best of their ability. Also, my thanks are due to the Chairman and Members of the Board for their ready will- ingness to sanction all attempts for the betterment of the in- stitution."

Respectfully,

FRED B. JEWETT, M. D.,

REPORT OP THE BOARD. 89

STATE ALMSHOUSE.

6Mp9rimi9md0mtf FrED B. JewETT, M. D.

7>0ptiiy Svpti Asa L. Mat.

Oonditions at the Almshouse remain about as they have been for a number of years past. A new building that has been for the past three years under construction, will soon be completed, and the crowding In the men's wing will be relieved, in a measure, by the removal of some of the men to the dormitory in the second story of this building.

This seems to be, however, almost the only means of relief at present in sight, for there is apparently no prospect of relief through the return to the Hospital for the Insane of the pa- tients who have been from time to time discharged therefrom and admitted to the Almshouse because of lack of accommoda- tions at the Hospital for the Insane.

The State School for the Feeble Minded has taken some of the boys and will take some of the girls, but as only those chil- dren who may be benefited at the School will be received there, the number of children at the Almshouse will not be material- ly diminished, and the same may be said regarding the remov- al of any considerable number to the State Home and School for Children. Dr. Jones in his report refers to these children and the Board would be glad to do more for them had they the means of so doing.

The hospital character of the Almshouse, to which the Board has often referred in its reports, continues. Dr. Jewett in his report, given below, says that fifty-one of the patients ad- mitted the past year died in less than a month, remaining alive an average of ten and one-half days; fourteen lived less than five days, and seven less than twenty-four hours.

Dr. Jewett calls attention, also, to the unavoidable inter- mingling of the tubercular with non -tubercular inmates, a condition the Board would be pleased to remedy were the ac- commodations at the Almshouse sufficient for the pur];)08e, and Dr. Jones, Resident Physician, in his report, calls attention to the need of additional accommodations for the proper care of tubercular patients at the Almshouse.

Dr. Jewett reports as follows :

* 'Gentlemen: — I herewith present the report of the State

Almshouse for the year 1910.''

^'During the year, 405 inmates were admitted and 889 were discharged, making a net increase of 16, with 528 remaining Dec. 81, 1910.''

*'The number of deaths was slightly larger than in 1909, hav- ing been 194, as compared with 182 in 1909. Again allow me to call your especial attention to these facts, that 107 of those who died were admitted during 1910; that 51 of them were with us less than a month, or an average of lOi days; that 14 lived less than five days and seven less than 24 hours."

"The new building at the rear centre, tentatively called the '*Annex," has been in partial use the entire year, while the upper part, consisting of a dormitory, with its toilet and clothes' room, an attendants' room and a dining and serving- room, on the first floor, has been finished, so that by February it will be occupied. This will provide sleeping accommodations for fifty men and relieve the male side just so much. There is another subject I dislike to mention, inasmuch as I believe cognizance has been taken of it, but it is so insistent that 1 feel I must call it to your attention again. The subject is that of a separate building, or buildings, for the tubercular patients away from other institutional buildings. It is absolutely im- possible to prevent the intermingling ofthetuber<5ular patients with the non-tubercular under present conditions. Invariably during the winter we have to lodge several tubercular patients in the ward with non -tubercular inmates; mild cases they are, to be sure, but yet tubercular. The tubercolosis question with us will be changed little, if any, by any decision to provide chronic tubercular hospitals elsewhere in the State, so that we must prepare for the presence of a certain number of these cases at all times."

**By the addition of an all-metal washer to the Workhouse and House of Correction laundry, it has been possible to trans- fer a large amount of filthy washing from the Almshouse and relieve us from a very undesirable task."

"The painting and kalsomining of part of the basements, to- gether with a few other minor repairs, have been sufiicieut to keep the buildings in good condition. About 450 square yards of new concrete and top dressing were laid, largely around the new building."

"During the year the patients received much pleasure

through the kindness of friends. Members of the W. C. T. Union brought them flowers and candy from time to time and gave a short entertainment for them. Mrs. French, of Kingston, brought them flowers, and Mrs. Paye, candy ; and the Sun- shine Olub, of Auburn, under the supervision of Mrs. Eddy, gave them a pretty scrap-book and pamphlets. Others have sent magazines. For these kind attentions we return our hearty thanks."

**The past year Dr. Morninghan and Dr. Achorn left us, the former to establish himself in Providence, and the latter to go to the Soldiers' Home at Chelsea. Dr. Byrne and Dr. Bryer have taken their places."

'*My thanks are due the officers as a whole, and especially the older employees, for the conscientious performance of their duties."

The Board once more calls attention to the lack of adequate accommodations at the Prison and Jail, lest, by omitting to do so, it may be thought that the Three Hundred Thousand Dol- lar Bond Issue of 1909, for the benefit of the State Institutions in Oranston, is to supply their present needs. The bond issue will be used for the Reception Hospital now in progress of con- struction for the State Hospital for the Insane, as said before.

The story of the needs of the Prison and Jail has been told in the reports of the Board for many years, especially, with ample details, in the report of 1908. In 1894 the General As- sembly listened favorably to the pleading of the Board and made an appropriation for a new jail, to cost about $800,000., and then, later, when the Board was asking for proposals from contractors, the appropriation was rescinded.

A plan for a new jail, much like the plan of 1894, described in the report of that year, was prepared a year ago. It is re- ferred to on page 18 of the report of 1909 and is described in an appendix to this report. Both of these plans include a depart- ment for the criminal insane. For the present, until definite arrangements for this class are made, they are confined in two of the largest of the cells of the Providence County Jail, num- bers 51 and 52, which have been set apart by the Board as the ''Prison Insane Ward."

The Warden reports as follows:

POPULATION.

"During the year 1910 there were 58 persons committed to the Rhode Island State Prison, 82 discharged and two (Pardoned ; the total number in the State Prison on the 81st day of De- cember, 1910 was 148."

*'There were tive prisoners more committed to the State Prison during the year 1910 than during the year 1909, and 71 prisoners less committed to the Providence County Jail during the year 1910 than during the year 1909, making a total of 66 less committed to the two institutions during 1910 than dur- ing 1909."

INDUSTRIES.

"There was no change in the industries the past year; they are divided between the manufacture of shirts and wire goods, farming and care of the buildings and property, the same as before."

LIBRARY.

**The library is in its usual good condition, having been slightly increased during the year by magazines and other per- iodicals that accumulated here or were donated by outside par- ties. These have been bound, making useful reading for the inmates,"

REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

* 'During the year 1910 the COW barn, wagon shed and horse stable, which had been in the Prison yard, were moved across the street to the State's land opposite the Prison and were re- erected and greatly improved in design and convenience. As much of the old material as was fit for the purpose was used, and the necessary new materials were purchased by order of the Board."

DISCIPLINE.

''The discipline for the past year has been good,"

INCOME AND EXPENDITURES.

**Our income for the past year was $494.84 less than that of the year 1909 and our expenses were $1,773.81 less than for the year 1909. Our expenses for the year 1910 in excess of earn- ings were $48,713.76, whereas our expenses for the year 1909 in excess of earnings were $44,992.23, which makes a better showing for the year 1910 than for 1909 by $1,282.97.'^

HEALTH.

**The health of the inmates of the two institutions the past year has been good, there having been only three deaths, one, that of a woman, who was transferred to the Workhouse and House of Correction, as are all of our women prisoners, and died while there. There were no other serious cases of illness."

SOOKANOSSET SCHOOL FOR BOYS. Superini^ntiemif Mr. Ezekiel E. Gardner.

In 1908 an appropriation of $25,000 was made by the General Assembly for the erection of a graded school-house at the Sockanosset School. The school-rooms were then, as they are now, in the Cottages, one in each Cottage for the boys lodging there. The graded-school would set free the school-rooms in the dijfferent Cottages which could then be used as dormitories. There are at present normal accommodations for lodging 250 boys, fifty in each of the five Cottages, and there were on Jan- uary 1, 1911, 340 boys in the institution.

The Board are contemplating a change in the disposition of the graded-school building, above mentioned, using it as an industrial-school instead of a school-of-letters, and using the present Main Building, where most of the industrial teaching is now carried on, as a graded-school-of-letters. In either case the lodging capacity of the institution will be largely in- creased. The boys who are learning mason's work have already constructed the greater part of the basement of the new school- building.

The change here suggested will add nothing to the cost of the building, which will not exceed the appropriation of $25,000.

A description of this building, as it is proposed to rearrange it, may be found in the report of the architects, Messrs. Martin & Hall, at the end of the report of the Board.

The Superintendent of the Sockanosset School for Boys re- ports as follows :

7j0 ike SSoard of Siaie Ckariiies anti Correeiions.*"

**Gentlemen: — ^I have the honor to present for your consid- eration a general report of the Sockanosset School for Boys, for the year ending December 81, 1910, containing a review of the work accomplished and a few suggestions regarding the fu- ture.'^

'*In our school-of-letters we employ seven teachers, one of whom is supervisor of school work, who conducts a meeting of teachers once each month, supervises outline work and prepares examinations."

*'In reviewing the work of this department for the past year, I find results that, as a whole, are most gratifying; especially, wbeu I coaaider that the majority of the boya have been of

somewhat lower mentality than in previous years. I find a large percentage of our older boys have not attended school for three or four years previous to their commitment, and it is not unusual to find a boy of seventeen who has not advanced be- yond the third or fourth grade, yet claiming to have attended school regularly up to the working age. This is but one of the teachers' problems. ''

''After the boys enter here it is a matter of several weeks to decide as to the capabilities and limitations of the lad; how- ever, it is an exception where the boy does not readily and cheerfully accept work laid out for him, and only a short time before he shows some ambition."

''In dealing with our class of boys, we find that, especially with the older ones, the fewer "set rules", the better. We rather appeal to their sense of manhood and self respect, as individuals, and find far better results are obtained."

"With these older boys, we keep the idea ever before them that in all probability these are their last school days, and they must make the most of them to lay a foundation for what is to be their future, and, with the younger lads, that they are to re- turn to the public schools, and that they must be up with their fellows and not be considered drones."

"It is unfortunate that from lack of school accommodations we are obliged to place more than forty, in some cases more than fifty, boys under one teacher, but this must be endured until a school-building is provided. The school-rooms are now in the Cottages."

"One change forcibly suggests itself for the coming year in our school schedule, and that is, that more time be given to language work and perhaps less to geography. The inability of the boys to converse correctly is very noticeable. Our idea will be to have language work, both oral and written, more frequently, as a regular lesson, a course of study-outline being in preparation that will be adequate. The success of this par- ticular work depends largely upon the originality of the teach- er in its presentation."

"Our object here is so to fit the boy that when he leaves the school, and is of a working age, that he can make a start in life. Can he be any more handicapped than to present himself per- sonally for a position and be unable to speltk openly, frankly and correctly?"

REPORT OF THB BOARD. 49

^'The results of our written semi-annual examinations have been very satisfactory, and are kept on file always for inspec- tion.''

''Industrial training is an important feature in an institution of this kind. Many are skeptical when we say that we succeed in teaching a boy to earn a livelihood who has shown no previ- ous inclination to support himself. And yet the school has brought this about in hundreds of cases in years gone by, and the past year has been no exception. The branches of indus- trial work taught are as follows :''

PRINTING DEPARTMENT.

''In the printing department, a lad gets actual practice in setting type, and in job and cylinder-press work, having plenty of work and instruction of the most practical nature from an in- structor who is a finished workmen in all the branches taught. Eighteen boys have been employed here during the past year, with a daily average of eleven. The work produced is largely for the different institutions and for the OflSce of the Board of State Charities and Corrections and is of a widely diversified nature. Besides this, "The Howard Times'' has been isfiued bi-weekly, as in previous years."

MACHINE SHOP.

"The machine department has employed twenty-one boys during the year, with a daily average of twelve, and has been very successful in its results. Mr. Howard H. Dawley, who had been instructor in this department with marked success for the past four years, resigned in July of this year, and Mr. Arthur F. Banan was appointed to the position, and is continuing the work in a perfectly satisfactory manner. The teaching outline in this department includes the technical, the theoretical and the practical, the boys learning enough mechanical drawing in their theory practice to draw or work from any drawing neces- sary in the department. We are very busy at all times on work for the different institutions, and, at this writing, are busy on two hundred bedsteads for the State Hospital for the Insane. Construction of machinery used and tools are also the object of this department."

work required about our institution andothers, the boys of this department constructed the wooden part of the cold storage- room and the piazza in front of the Main Building; also thirty large window frames for the New Industrial Building; the wooden portion of the brooder and incubator house, thirty by twenty ; three new brooders ; three tables ; two hall trees ; three chiffoniers and several chairs and book-cases of mission furni- ture. These boys receive instruction in architectural drawing and they work from drawings as they would have to do in the outside world."

BLACKSMITH SHOP.

*'The Blacksmith Shop employed twenty-one boys during the year, with a daily average of ten, and the work accomplished here is of the most practical nature. We do all of our own horse shoeing, ox shoeing and wagon repairing, and make all the iron work incidental to an institution of this sort, — a rug- ged occupation that appeals to the kind of boys ^elected for this department."

MASON SHOP.

**In our mason department we employed fifteen boys during the year, with a daily average of nine, and the result obtained was most satisfactory. Beside the repair work required by this institution, such as plastering, patching and white-washing, we have completed the construction of the porch and cold stor- age room in front of Main Building, the outside having a cut- stone effect, to harmonize with the foundation of the building. The steps leading thereto are of cobble-stone con- struction with cement treads. Besides this, the mason class construced a brooder house at the hennery, of stone-grout mate- rial, measuring thirty by twenty feet, and cemented a large base- ment at the State Hospital for the Insane. Moreover, we have almost completed the basement and foundation construction of the New Industrial Building, eighty-four by one hundred and thirty-four feet, which included the laying of some one hun- dred and fifty cords of stone above the concrete footing."

SHOB SHOP.

'*In the shoe department, we employed twenty-five boys during the year with a daily average of fourteen, and a large volume of work was accomplished. Besides our own shoe re- pairing, we do that of the State Hospital for the Insane, and

some for the Almshouse; besides which we repair our harnes- ses and do all such work required at the School.''

BNOINEERING DEPARTMENT.

'*The engineering department employed twelve boys during the year, with a daily average of six, and the work done by them is of much importance, inasmuch as it includes the pow- er and steam heating, the steam, gas and electric fitting and repairing of the same, and is of a widely diversified nature."

TAILORING DEPARTMENT.

*'The tailoring department employed forty-six boys during the year, with a daily average of twenty-six. In this depart- ment we make everything the boys wear, except socks and un- derclothing, and also do all repairing, including the socks and underclothing mentioned.''

LAUNDRY.

'*The laundry employed twenty-one boys during the year with a daily average of fourteen, the work of which may be ap- preciated, when we consider what it means to do the washing and ironing for this large family without many of the modern conveniences for so doing. The machinery of this department is antiquated, and, in many instances, almost beyond repair. The spirit of industry and honest effort under such adverse con- ditions are indeed commendable."

BARN AND FARM DEPARTMENT.

*'In our barn and farm department, we employ all boys not otherwise detailed about the institution, and the evidence of effort is illustrated by the production of vegetables, etc., an account of which is shown elsewhere in this report. The dairy is in a fairly good condition. No milk was bought during the year. Our herd consists of sixteen milch cattle, eleven of which are thorough bred Ayrshires lately purchased."

**Oonnected with this department is the greenhouse, which continues to serve its purpose by its instruction in floriculture, not only interesting and refining, but always pleasing to the eye and ever helpful and soothing to the sick. The hennery, too, has served its purpose in supplying the entire institution with eggs throughout the year, none having been purchased. Its flourishing condition shows careful and painstaking work by the overseer of the primary cottage aod his boys, A report

of the production will be included in that of the farm depart- ment elsewhere in this report."

MILITARY AND BAND DEPARTMENT.

'*Much physical and moral benefit has been derived during the past year, as previously, from our military department, and we find in it the requisite for up-building the boys' health from an emaciated condition to that of a robust manhood; it causes increased pride in personal appearance and also an avoidance of confusion in concerted movement about the grounds and in the buildings. The dress-parade and review at 6 p. m. each Sunday evening, from May 1st to October Ist, has been continued, and in them we find much to increase the interest of the boys to appear as well as their fellows. The first duty of the soldier is to obey orders, which in itself is a good thing."

''Associated, in more or less degree of help and refining in- fluence, is the band. Excellent results have attended our band-work, and we have been fortunate in having, as instruct- ors, men whose heart has been in the work. Our regular in- structor was absent on sick leave six months during the past year and his place was acceptably filled by Ernest L. House, a capable musician from Providence, for the time intervening."

*'We are very glad to note that the health of the boys during the past year was exceptionally good which was in no small part due to the eflScient services of our resident physician and the nurse in charge of the hospital. The report of the resident physician will be found elsewhere in the report of the Board."

''The discipline of our boys in general compares very favor- ably with that of other years. I find that there is a general disposition of obedience brought about by a uniform and zeal- ous attention to the proper guidance of these lads by every of- ficer in the institution."

"I am fortunate in having associated with me a corps of offi- cers, men and women, who would be a credit to any institution, and I am free to say that they have added materially to what- ever success I have attained in this work."

"In conclusion, let me say that the ever ready advice, encour- agement, broad-mindedness, leniency and patience that you have shown me have made my associations with your Honor- able Board a pleasure and have given me the courage nec-

OAKLAWN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

^ttpertmi^mtiemif MrS. ClARA F. ForBUSH.

^airon o/£asiman CoHaye/ MrS. FRANCES R. EbENE.

The report of the Superintendent of the Oaklawn School for Girls, given below, tells the storyof the School during the past year. It is pleasing to note that one institution, among the State Institutions in Oranston, has ample accommodations for its inmates and has no special wants that have not been abun- dantly provided.

'^Z^o ihe SSoarti o/^iaie Chartiies anti Corr^oiionsi"

''Gentlemen: — I have the honor to present my report for the year ending December 81, 1910."

''At the beginning of the year, there were fifty-seven girls, twenty-three of the younger ones being at Eastman Cottage. The girls have been employed in the forenoons in the different departments, namely; kitchen, laundry, sewing-room and at general housework, the work being changed three times during the year. The work in both cottages is carried on in practical- ly the same manner. Two schools of letters are maintained, one in each cottage. It is impossible to grade the schools to any great extent, although the work of the public schools is followed as nearly as possible. Every girl attends school three hours, five days in the week."

"The general health of the girls has been up to the usual standard, there having been no serious cases of illness during the year. One girl, when committed, was in a very nervous condition and, under the advice of the visiting physician, was removed to the State Hospital for the Insane for observation, from which place she escaped."

"The usual Sunday service under Chaplain Ewer has been held in the afternoon of each Sunday. Mass is celebrated once a month. Sabbath-school is held every Sunday morning."

"As in years past, a clam-bake was provided for the girls on the schoo) grounds in August. Washington's birthday. Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas were observed in the same manner as before."

"The usual discipline has been maintained."

"There has been but one change of teachers throughout the year."

REPORT

OF THE RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTOR.

Tjo Mtf ^oarti of Siaio Chariiios anti Corrociionsf

Gkntlkmen: — The Sunday services have been held regularly throughout the year. On other days, my work has been that (»f a pastor in a large parish. Neither personal illness nor un- necessary absence from the field have interrupted my labors. Twice during the year I found it necessary to employ a substi- tute for the Sunday services, and, two or three times, to oflS- ciate at funerals. There are seldom less than one hundred and fifty bed-patients in the several hospital wards, and besides these a much larger number of aged and infirm inmates to whom social attention and religious ministration bring comfort in distress. In this connection, permit me to testify to the faithfulness of my colleagues, the clergymen of the Roman Catholic Church, in their attendance upon the people of that Faith. It gives me great pleasure to add, that Protestant pas- tors, more than in any previous year of my incumbency, have visited inmates who in other and brighter days were members of their parishes.

Many sick and aged people end their earthly career at these institutions. While many who die here are removed for bur- ial, we have many funerals in our chapels and at the cemetery. The services are formal but not perfunctory. Occasionally, relatives and friends of those diceased are present; and when the services are held in the chapels, a considerable number of the inmates usually attend.

128 STATK CHARITIES AND C0RRKCTI0N8.

Death is no respecter of persons, and makes no discrimina- tions. Three times during; the year just closed the Religious Insturctor was called to assist at the funerals of men who in the service of the State, and in the relations in which they stood to others, ranked high in human esteem, and who will long be remembered by all who knew them.

Edgar I. Hanscom, M. D., Assistant Physician at ihe State Hospital for the Insane, died February 19, 1910, and the funeral services were held in the Hospital Chapel and were conducted by the Rev. R. K. Wickett, pastor of the family, assisted by the Rev. A. B. Howard, a college friend of the deceased, and by the writer. The summons came to Dr. Hanscom while he was in the full strength of manhood, and when, to human eyes, there was much in him that promised a long and successful ca- reer in his chosen profession. He was a manly man, aflFable and kind to those committed to his care; he exemplified the Christian virtues in daily devotion to his work. Tn his sudden death the blow fell most heavily upcm the loved ones in a deso- late home.

Mr. James R. Read, Secretary of the Board of State Chari- ties and Corrections, died June 23, 1910, after a protracted ill- ness. The funeral services were held at the family residence, and the burial was at Apponaug, R. I. Mr. Read was a vet- eran of the Civil War, and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was a good soldier, an upright man, a patriotic citizen, a capable and faithful official, and died in assurance through faith in his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Mr. Timothy P. Dodge, Deputy Superintendent of the State Workhouse and House of Correction, died September 12, 1910. The funeral services were conducted at the family residence in Providence by his pastor, the Reverend E. S. Ninde, assist- ed by the Religions Instructor of the State Institutions. Mr. Dodge had served theStatemany years. His official promptness and decisiveness in speech made his smile, with dancing-eye accompaniment, the more winsome. His well-known love of music and of flowers set forth the radiancy of his spirit, while his delight in books, the best in literature, revealed to his friends who saw him in the midst of his treasures, a superior type of mind.

Let me say, in closing, that the officers, and particularly the oflScers in charge of the several institutions, have done every-

thing possible to facilitate the religious work, and the frequent visitations of the members of the governing Board, and their kindly expressions of goodwill are appreciated by the inmates everywhere, and most of all where the limitations necessarily placed upon individual freedom are most keenly felt. Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES H. EWER,

REPORT

OF THE

RESIDENT PHYSICIAN OF THE STATE INSTITUTIONS.

I herewith submit my report as Resident Physician of the State Workhouse and House of Correction and of the State Almshouse.

STATE WORKHOUSE AND HOUSE OP CORRECTION.

During the year there were a larger number of cases treated in the male department than the year before. The average number at sick-call was greater. The number of deaths was nine and the causes of death were as follows:

Alcoholism

Oarbuncle„ ~ -

Multiple sarcoma „

Phthisis

Pneumonia

SenHe dementia -.

Valvular disease 2

One case of typhoid fever was transferred to the State Alms- house. The total number of cases transferred to the State Almshouse was nineteen. The average number of days these cases remained for special care at the State Almshouse was six- ty-five.

When we speak of special care, we refer to those cases that demand constant nursing and attention, such as should be given to cases of typhoid fever, to cases of tuberculosis in its last

REPORT OF THK BOARD. 181

stages, to those whose mental infirmities render them liable to injury at the hands of other inmates, and to cases of pregnancy that should have constant supervision in a maternity ward.

Many of these cases were detained at the Workhouse and House of Correction longer than they should have been, owing to the fact that the Almshouse wards were overcrowded.

We have now, January 28, 1911, confined in bed at the State Workhouse and House of Correction, in a room about 12x16 and lighted by one window, four men, onesufferingfrom a fractured hip, one with gastric cancer with hemorrhages, and two with pneumonia.

This room, known as "the sick room,'' is the only hospital accommodation in this institution, and in it are placed, at times, men raving with delirium tremens whose nightly terrors often- times add to the pain of some other unfortunate inmate suf- fering from acute disease.

This room is usually in an insanitary state on account of this condition, and is absolutely unfitted for its present use.

The small hospital, referred to in our previous reports, is sorely needed in this institution and the cost would be com- paratively small, as it could be built in close connection with both the male and female departments, near the dietary kitchen, from which the necessary lighting, heating and plumb- ing apparatus could be extended to it.

STATE ALMSHOUSE.

In this institution, with but very few exceptions, every in- mate admitted has been, at once, the recipient of surgical or medical care.

We believe that during the past year a larger percentage of the inmates came from other hospitals than ever be- fore.

Of the number treated, 194 deaths occurred, and the causes were as follows :

Absc(*88 of brain

Aneurism of aorta.. Apoplexy

Atheroma of arteries

Births, still born

Briffht's disease

Bronchitis

Carbuncle

Otthis number, 58 died of tuberculosis in its various forms, and died at a time of life when they were of the greatest value to the community.

The number of births was larger than during the preceding year, numbering 27, and of these, four were "still born," in- cluding twins. Seven of the mothers had been transferred from the Workhouse and House of Correction, the greatest number of pregnant women ever received from that institu- tion in any one year.

One case of chronic Bright's disease, considered a hopeless case by the family physician, died in puerperal convulsion.

This registers the first death among the many maternity cases that have come under our supervision here.

A hospital for the tuberculous patients should be provided. The present wards are inadequate in size and equipment. We have now several cases in the general hospital in the male de- partment that should be segregated with other tuberculous pa- tients, but there is not room in the ward set aside for them.

Our tuberculous patients are not receiving the nursing and oversight that modern methods demand, and in the case of this contagious disease, the State should be foremost in providing for them the proper housing that is necessary for their segre- gation, and the nursing that is so essential to their recovery, if such cases there be that are curable.

In view of the constant increase of patients at the Institu- tions a building should be erected, and that as soon as possible, for the housing and care of 100 patients, the building to be in- creased in size with the increase of population.

The time has come that some provision should be made for the care and treatment of the epileptic inmates of our institu- tions. Owing to their disease they are quarrelsome and ugly, and their presence is a menace to the milder and inoffensive patients around them. In the State Almshouse they cannot be segregated, and the proper rare and restraint cannot be ac- complished.

REPORT OP THE BOARD. 188

Apart from the basement, where the feeble-minded are quar- tered, the sanitary conditions of the Almshouse are as good as the overcrowding will permit, and praise without stint can be accorded those who have striven under trying conditions to temper the condition of this institution with kindness and Christian Charity.

Respectfully submitted,

Resident Physician.

Tjo ^antes J^ T^eCvsker, 2i/arti9n Siaie SPr/son an<i JiTeeper SProv" itl^nee County ^aii.*

I present herewith the report of the Resident Physician for the year 1910. During the year there has been about the usu- al number of dispensary cases treated in the State Prison and Providence' County Jail ; numbering about 600.

Quite a large number of prisoners were treated in the hospi- tal, but there was less illness of a severe type than for years past.

The death list was small, there having been only three deaths, all inmates of the Providence County Jail.

The sanitary conditions about the institutions have been im- proved by the removal of the stables from the Prison yard, and, in our opinion, a dangerous source of disease has been disposed of.

The food served the prisoners has been ample in quantity, excellent in quality and well cooked.

We urge the desirability of hastening the building of the Insane Ward for the segregation of the insane now in the State Prison and Providence County Jail.

Their care has become an added burden to an already com- plex institution.

At present two cases of dementia precox are in the quiescent period of their disease, but they are apt to become tumultuous at any time.

Very respectfully,

Rksidknt Physician.

During the year fewer cases of severely ill patients were noted than for some years past.

No deaths occurred, and no epidemics made their appear- ance among the inmates or oflScers.

The accidents that happened were few, considering the many chances there are of lads being hurt in work or play, and, with the exception of two cases, they were of minor nature.

In one instance a boy slipping or jumping from a load of hay injured himself upon a fork handle which penetrated the bow- els; and the other case was that of a boy who disemboweled himself while cutting toward himself with a knife. These cases gave us some anxiety, but both made a splendid and quick recovery without complications.

One case case of epilepsy was transferred to the State Alms- house for treatment and custodial care. In the State Alms- house the children are forced to associate with the old men ; they are deprived of the childish sports, games and songs that are usually a feature of school life, and the transference of them to the Almshouse impels us to remark that it isunfortu- tunate that any child who has any semblance of a reasoning faculty should of necessity be transferred there.

Respectfully,

(Signed) HENRY A, JONES,

Rksidrnt Physician.

I herewith present the report of the Resident Physician for the year 1910.

During the year the health of the inmates of the Oaklawn School for Girls has been exceptionally good, treatment of minor illnesses only having been required.

We believe that the continued good health of the inmates of the School has been due to the quiet, homelike life they lead, and the careful oversight of their food.

The lack of cases of anemia among them shows the advant-

age of the plenteous fresh vegetable diet that is given them. The vegetable salts are needed for the human economy, and the indulgence of a capricious appetite supplied with fanciful but poorly nourishing food, is detrimental to the proper physical development of the growing girl.

One girl suffering from hystero-epilepsy was transferred to the State Hospital for the Insane, from which institution she succeeded in escaping, and has not been heard of since.

Two girls, both colored, coming to the School in a pregnant condition, were removed to the State Almshouse, where both gave birth to living children.

Gentlkmkn: — 1 have the honor to present my report for the year ending December 31, 1910.

The importance of this office has been established and its benefit assured. Three hundred and sixty patients received dental care during the past year, the same varying according to conditions, as some require more attention than others. Badly diseased and decayed teeth have been treated and filled, artificial plates have been made and a general lack of good oral conditions has been materially improved. I have noticed, in many instances after treatment, a marked improvement in prophylactic measures on the part of inmates and that interest in this department is manifested by many of them.

Insane during the year, 276 were committed by the District (yourtfl, sixty-one were admitted by order of the Board of State Charities and (corrections, three were admitted voluntarily, and two were removed thereto by order of a Justice of the Supreme (Jourt.

Of the patients admitted in 1910, forty-five died, thirty- four were discharged, twenty -one of whom were removed from the State, and seventy-nine are out on parole. Thirty-seven had been in the State Hospital for the Insane before, not count- ing those returned from parole.

The sum of $25,521.49 was collected during the year for the board, care and medical attendance of patients supported at the State Hospital for the Insane by their relatives or friends.

The State Hospital for the Insane was opened for occupancy November 7th, 1870, and from that date to the first day of Jan- uary, 1871, there were received 118 insane persons, of whom sixty-five were received from Butler Hospital, twenty-two from the Vermont Asylum at Brattleboro, four from the Asylum at Worcester, Massachusetts, two from the Asylum at Taunton, Massachusetts, and twenty-five from the Town Poor-houses in this State.

The following table shows the number remaining January 1, 1911, of the patients admitted each year since November 7, 1870:

The sum of $7,523.29 was colh^cted for the board of several of the inmates from the cities and towns of their legal settle- ment.

REMOVAL OF PAm>KR8.

There were removed, during the year, 274 persons. Of this number, 214 were sent away from the State, fifty-two of whom were sent to foreign countries, and sixty were sent to places within the State.

Sixty-eight of the whole number had been inmates of the Workhouse and House of Correction; ten, of the State Alms- house; thirty-one, of the State Hospital for the Insane; nine, of the Providence County Jail ; two, of the State Prison.

Included in the above total, 274, there were thirty-two in- sane persons, of whom thirty-one were from the State Hospi- tal for the Insane and one from the place where she had been cared for temporarily.

LICENSED BOARDING PLACES FOR INFANTS.

Under the provisions of the law licensing and regulating the receiving, boarding and kec^ping of infants, thirty-six licenses were issued the past year, one-hundred and three infantinmates were recorded and sixty-five visits to licensed places were made by representatives of this department.

The number of licenses in effect December 81, 1910, was

thirty-one, (listril>ii tod as follows: — fifteen in Providence, four in East Providence, three in Cranston, one in Pawtucket, one in Harrington, four in Newp(»rt, two in Foster, and one in East Greenwich.

The Legislature at the January Session amended the law ^'Relating to the Receiving, Boardingand Keeping of Infants'' by requiring all persons f)oardiug infants for gain, hire, or re- ward, under the age of seven years, to be licensed. Under the old law the age of such infants was under two years.

This amendment has enabled our representative to look after a very much larger number of children who certainly needed su- pervision. These licensed places for boarding infants are not only visited by a representative of this department, but by a representative of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chihlren and by the district nurses.

Total number surrendered, 145, divided as follows: Adults, fifteen ; juveniles, one hundred and thirty. Of this number fifteen adults and fifty-three juveniles were sentenced. Sev- enty-seven juveniles surrendered were again placed in the cus- tody of the probation officer by the Court.

In the Juvenile Court every precaution is taken to adminis- ter justice fairly to the })oy in trouble. The majority of the boys arraigned plead guilty to the various offences with which they are charged, but when a boy pleads not guilty his case is continued to a certain day for hearing, and if he sliould be friendless or without counsel the Court directs the probation officer to defend him. In the mean time the probation officer

purpose in the defense of these cases is not the use of legal knowledge to enable or assist the boy to escape punishment through legal technicalities, but rather to elicit, if possible, the true facts of the case in order that he may receive the bene- fit of any doubt. Eight boys were defended in this manner during the past year, of whom five were convicted and three acquitted, and this work has been done with no additional cost to the State.

All probationers are required to report weekly for a stated time and the probation officer is charged with the collection of their costs of Court; consequently, the relation between the probationer and the probation oflicer assumes that of debtor and creditor, thereby creating a situation detrimental to this work; not only does it operate to prevent the probationer re- porting when he can not pay the costs, but it makes the real purpose of probation appear to the probationer subordinate to the payment of costs. I believe, however, that with few ex- ceptions probationers should be compelled to pay their costs, but that the collection of the same should be separated from the probation department.

In thepast year I collected for costs of Court from probationers the sum of $684.65.

Thft non-support case presents a peculiar problem with which t-o deal. While liquor contributes to the cause in a number of these cases, the most frequent cause is the fact that husband and wifecannot,or will not, agree, the spirit of selfishness being the predominating influence in the home. The husband be- comes indifferent and gives little or nothing towards the sup- port of his family, compelling, in many instances, the wife and mother to seek employment outside of her home to support the family. Complaint then being made to the police, the husband is brought into court, and, as a general rule, is placed on pro- bation. The probation (»nicer must then familiarize himself with all sides of the case and try to adjust their differences, bringing the»n togf^ther if possible, and to induce the man, either by moral persuasion or by threat of surrender, to sup- port his family. The latter course, however, does not always produce good results, for while he may not be keeping his agree- ment to provide according to his means, giving only a little now and then, yet when the wife appeals to the probation oflicer ^nd h^ decide? to surrender the Imsband to tbe Court the wife

objects, claiming that she now gets so mo money when if he were imprisoned she would get nothing. The probation oflScer realizes some justice in her position and that, in most cases, in the event of the husband being surrendered and sentenced, the family would be likely to become public charges. We fre- quently have cases where it is found upon investigation that the fault is that of the wife; but these cases are in the minor- ity. I am of the opinion that the non-support law should be made more strin^rent, whereby a man would be obliged to pro- vide for his family or be sent to jail, and some method should be devised to enable the family to receive his earnings while so imprisoned or to receive out-door relief from the State.

Fifty-three vagrants in custody, liable to become public charges, were sent from the State at an expense of 128.85; twenty-six of this number paid their transportation expense.

The personal and family histories of fifty-eight males com- mitted to the Sb-ito Hospital for the Ifisane from the Court, were taken and recorded and delivered to the Agent of State Charities and Corrections.

REPORT OF MARGARET 11. DKNNEHY, PROBATION OFFICER FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS OF THE CITY OF PROVIDENCE.

During the year 1910, one hundred and ten women and girls were committed to the charge of the Probation Officer for Women from the Sixth District Court, and thirteen girls from the Juvenile Court.

Seven adults and one juvenile, who had violated the condi- tions of their probation, were surrendered for sentence to the Court.

Twenty cases were discontinued and thirty-four cases are pending in the Sixth District Court and eleven cases are pend- ing in the Juvenile Court.

Thirty-two girls, between fourteen and twenty years of age, were arrested as suspicious persons by the police department and turned over to your probation officer for safe keeping. Those having good homes were restored to their families after

receiving good advice, homes were found for the homeless ones, and those belonging in other states were sent to their respect- ive homes usually accompanied by their parents who had been notified.

Twenty-nine women and girls were placed in private reform- atory institutions in this State and one juvenile was placed in an industrial home in the the State of New York.

Twenty women, professional evil doers, were returned to their homes in other states.

As in past years, the Probation OflScer for Women works in cordial co-operation with the Overseer of Poor, the Providence Lying-in Hospital, and kindred organizations, and from her position as Superintendent of the Providence Rescue Home was able to shelter there, during the year, twenty-five unfor- tunate women about to become mothers, and also to admit twelve yuung mothers with their infants from the Providence Lying-in Hospital.

REPORT OP THEOPUILUS TOPHAM, PROBATION OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF

NEWPORT.

During the year 1910, in Newport County, one hundred and thirteen persons were placed on probation as follows : Juveniles, forty-four; men, fifty-one; women, eighteen.

The disposition of cases was as follows: Cases discontinued, twenty-eight; cases pending, sixty-five; surrendered for sen- tence, twenty.

Six men and twelve women were sent out of the State.

One girl was placed at the House of the Good Shepherd in Prov- idence. For this the girl and her mother were very grateful.

Judge Franklin, of the District Court, in many cases, especi- ally in cases of violation of City Ordinances, has made a new departure. Besides placing boys on probation, he has imposed a fine on them, they to earn the amount of the fine.

Some of the boys placed on probation during the past year were already on probation, but instead of surrendering them for sentence the Court thought it best to arraign them under new warrants and impose a fine on them which they were to earn

and to place them again on probation until thefines were paid. This makes my report of juveniles on probation look larger than it actually is.

Two hundred and thirty- three dollars were collected in small installments for the payment of costs of Court and fines.

During the year, six hundred and eighty-seven dollars were collected from non-support probationers for the benefit of their families.

Of the old cases, ninety-three are still pending; thirty have been discontinued ; and eleven have been surrendered for sen- tence.

On January 1, 1911, there were eighty-seven men, fifteen women, and fifty-six juveniles on probation; total, one hun- dred and fifty-eight.

REPORT OP THE BOARD. 147

I have carefully examined the probation records of the Tenth and Eleventh District Courts and have recommended the dis- continuance of three hundred and eighteen cases as follows : One hundred and thirty-three in the Tenth District Court and one hundred and eighty-five in the Eleventh District Court. All these cases were placed on probation previous to August 1, 1908, the date of my appointment as probation officer.

In looking over my work as Probation Officer for the past year, I feel that my labor has not been in vain.

The probation work gives the officer an opportunity to study human nature as no other work connected with the Courts of this State does.

When a person is placed on probation it is the duty of the officer to look into his or her home life, and to ascertain if pos- sible why the person has gone astray and violated the laws of the state, and whether he or she are responsible in themselves. I find that if one can ascertain the cause, in a large percentage of the cases it can be remedied.

In all non-support cases I have worked with the overseers-of- the-poor, and have visited the homes of the probationers and in some instances I have found that the person arrested on such a charge has not altogether been to blame. I have collected considerable money from men in the past year for the support of wives and children, and have turned it over to the wives. It would be well in many of these cases if the Court could deal jointly with the husband and wife for mismanagement of the home.

The juvenile work is seriously handicapped because of the lack of a detention school or home. While we cannot speak too highly of the Sockanosset and Oaklawn School and the grand work they are doing for the boys and girls, I believe that we should have a place where children could be temporaily cared for.

My work as truant officer in one of the cities of the State brings me into close touch with delinquent pupils. The boy or girl who has been a little unruly, the average truant or school offender, is not a criminal, and should not be placed in a school for criminal juveniles. The need of a detention school in this State is fully recognized by the Courts and school authorities, as well as probation officers and others connected with this \york. I also feel from my, close connectiop with ^he juvenile

work the pressing need of a law which will allow the custodian of a child to bring a wayward or incorrigible child before the Court without subjecting him to a charge of truancy or vag- rancy.

INDETERMINATE SENTENCE.

In March, 1903, the Board of State Charities and Corrections passed the following resolution :

'^'^tOhereas, the system of puiiishniont by indeterminate sen- tence and parole has been adopted in many states, and has been approved by national organizations interested in the treatment of criminals, and has in its application proved bene-

ficial to tlie criminal and of advantage to the state, therefore be it

^esoived. That this Board respectfully recommends to the General Asseml)ly the consideration of this subject with a view to the ainefidment of the laws relative to punishments and pen- alties, so that they may conform, as far as practicable, to the system of indeterminate sentence and parole as adopted by other states."

The Governor of the vState in his annual messages has re- peatedly urged the passage of an Indeterminate Sentence Law.

In the opinion of the Attorney General of the State, before such a law 3an be properly framed and submitted to the Legis- lature, a revision of the criminal laws is absolutely necessary, for no law of Indeterminate Sentence can accomplish its legiti- mate purpose unless the criminal laws are revised to provide for a maximum and minimum penalty for each offence.

The legislature of this State in the January Session of 1910, appointed a commission to revise the criminal laws and that commission is now actively engaged in the work, and the pub- lic, during the year 1911, will have an opportunity to be heard before such revision becomes the law of the State. In connec- tion with such revision the commission will undoubtedly frame a law providing for the indeterminate sentence of criminals sen- tenced to the Rhode Island State Priscm and also provide in such law for a board of parole.

In 1874, the Elmira Reformatory was established in the State of New York and in 1884 the Concord Reformatory in the State of Massachusetts. These institutions appear to have been founded to carry out what was called in England the "Crofton System,'' based largdy upon a change of treatment, from stern to gentle, according to apparent evidence that the prisoner was worthy of such change.

Indeterminate Sentence was first instituted in Massachusetts in 188(1, and applied only to inmates of the Concord Reforma- tory ; the value and jnstice of such a law was quickly appreci- ated by the law makers of other states and now some form of a law of Indeterminate SentcMice and Parole is in operation in most of the Eastern, Middle, and Western States.

It is without doubt that Indeterminate Sentence Laws which are so framed as properly to provide justice to the criminal, and safety to the public, will prove beneficial to all concerned.

They are intended to bring about a change in the attitude of the prison officials toward the pristmer and vice versa. There are different methods used to bring about his reform. Theor- etically without the Indeterminate Sentence, the prison war- den is simply a guard over the prisoners; with it, he acts in the capaoity not only of a guard but as a teacher and guide as well, and tries to prepare the prisoner so that he may take his place among citizens, and conduct himself properly. The imprison- ed man himself knows that he should exert every effort to re- gain his liberty, that he must cast aside his lax and degenerate methods of living and prepare himself to become a law-abiding and self controlled member of society. He sees that there is much for him to do, that his future is largely in his own hands, that the improvements in his character and conduct will, per- haps, warrant his release. If the criminal can be convinced that he will be released as soon as it shall become apparent to the officers who have him in charge that society has no longer anything to fear from him, and that if in turn he can convince them of this fact by his own conduct in prison, from that mo- ment, his good will is gained and the rest is comparatively easy. The system of reformation under the Indeterminate Sen- tence furnishes a development, very often obtained through constant manual work, study, and training, so that the prison- er, who pursues conscientiously and faithfully the course out- lined for him, must, after a lapse of sometime, understand the attitude he should take toward society if he wishes to be liber- ated.

Practically it is a question of disposition on the part of the man committed. The attitude which he assumes, the person- ality which he acquires, and his aspect of life determine his destiny. The character of the crime committed was punished by the Judge of the Oourt with greater or less severity by a minimum sentence determined by the gravity of the crime, and the maximum sentence pronounced at the same time was either shortened or lengthened for the same reason. The im- portant factors are, how long shall the prisoner be confined after the minimum sentence has expired and what will be the kind of treatment that the prisoner should receive while con- fined to enable him to earn his parole. A man should be committed to prison because he is dangerous to society, and if his temperament does not change, he should be restrained in

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 151

prison until the expiration o*f his maximum term. No person dangerous to society should be allowed to run at large, and no person should be restrained when he has given evidence that he is ready and prepared to lead an honorable life and will not in the future be a menace to his community.

Inequality of sentence tends to breed dissatisfaction, an unresting inequality which cannot be corrected by legislature or court. The Indeterminate Sentence, however, provides an equitable minimum and maximum term ofsentence commen- surate with the violation of the criminal laws, joined with identical conditions by which to reduce it to the minimum term prescribed by law. No longer do we find the idea of an unconditional pardon, but the prisoner fully understands that his release is a matter for which he himself must do the pre- paring. When it is advisable and not imcompatible with the safety of society, the authorities desire his release, and will help him to obtain it. The prison officials cooperate with him in the efforts for his restoration to citizenship, and free social life. The thought of a release frees his mind from depressing influences, and he will exert every power to gain ground by diligence and obedience in the mind of his superiors. He tends to form habits which eventually become fixed.

A great fault of the Indeterminate Sentence of the past has been found in making the maximum term too low. The defect in this can be readily seen. If the maximum term is low many prisoners would not consider it worth while to obey strictly and conscientiously all the rules, and perhaps would not even try to get their release, because they would be sure of freedom from further restraint when the short maximum term expired, furth- ermore after parole the maximum sentence is a deterring influ- ence. With a high maximum term, however, those are scarce who would not do their utmost to secure release as quickly as possible after the minimum term has passed by. 'It seems cer- tain, therefor, that a high maximum term is imperative to carry out this law successfully.

The decision as to who should be allowed the advantage of this law should rest with a carefully selected board of parole. As we are all aware, the liberty of a criminal in a community effects that community in all respects. It is important then that the men who comprise this board should represent the state, society, and the industrial centre in every respect. Con-

sidering this the following tnen ftiight be recommended to serve on this board. The Governor of the Stat^, the Attorney General, the presiding Justiceof the Superior Court, the Chair- man of the Board of State Charities and Corrections, and the President of the Providence Board of Trade. These five rep- resentative men are surely competent to protect the interests of the public and State, and can furnish or obtain all the facts necessary to consider the release of a prisoner. The Board of Parole is made up in such a way that alterilates or substi- tutes could easily be provided for in the law. The Lieu- tenant Governor could serve in the absence of the Governor, an Assistant Attorney General for the Attorney General, a Judge of the Superior Court appointed by the presiding Jus- tice, a member of the Board of State Charities and Corrections couhi take the place of the (Chairman of that Board, and the Providence Board of Trade could easily elect one of their mem- bers to serve in the absence of the President.

The Governor should be a member, since he is the Chief Ex- ecutive of the State. The Attorney GeneraPs department has the grand jury records of all prisoners sentenced in the Super- ior Court and is the prosecuting oflScer in all criminal cases tried in said Court. The Judge of the Superior Court serving on this board may have been the one to have sentenced the prisoner and consequently heard the case against him. Such men as these would be specially qualified, since their duties bring them into cases in which men who would be serving un- der the Indeterminate Sentence Law would be involved. The Chairman of the Board of State Charities and Corrections has access to the prison record and the records of the State Proba- tion Officer. In his position, he would be able to find the real inside information. Again he has at his command the physi- cians of the State Institutions, who are acquainted with the mental and physical conditions of all inmates. The Warden of the State Prison would be called upon by the Chairman of the Board of State Charities and Corrections to give in detail his opinion of any prisoner who petitions for release. As War- den, he notices all the improvements and deteriorations in character, and his study of the prisoner has put him in a posi- tion to judge, whether or not, that prisoner is eligible to go freely in society with a certain high degree of safety. Very often industrial and residential communities object to certain

men being released. For their benefit the President of the Providence Board of Trade is named as a member. He is in a position to ascertain the general attitude of the public regard- ing the safety and feasibility of release to past offenders. With these men then, we could be sure that the business would be administered carefully and judicially.

Such members of a Board of Parole would serve without compensation. Not more than four meetings would be called any one year and the time required to carry out the work would be of short duration, and the value and purpose of the work done would be suflScient reward for their services,

The Board should be empowered to make rules and regula- tions as it may deem necessary upon which any convict may go upon parole. A paroled convict would still be under tlie legal custody of the State and under control of the Board of Parole, the composition of which has been mentioned previounly. If he violates the rules of parole, the Board should have author- ity to cause his rearrest. A paroled prisoner who has been re- turned for violation of parole, should be retained in prison for a period equal to the unexpired term of his sentence, at the date of the request or order for his return. The time which he spent on parole should not be considered as part of the un- expired term.

DESCRIPTION of proposed buildings to be erected at the State Institutions in Cranston, by Messrs. Martin & Hall, Architects.

ZTo ihe ^oarti of ^iaie Chariiies and Correciionst"

^'Gentlemen: — During the past year the Board has devoted much time and study to the problem of providing the additional buildings and facilities needed to meet the requirements of the several departments and a special Committee has visited some of the recently constructed buildings of other States to obtain information that will result in the construction of build- ings that will fulfill the conditions of modern practice and be properly and completely equipped for their intended use. Af- ter taking into consideration the requirements of the depart- ments, nearly all of which need additional room and buildings, it was finally decided to construct a Reception Hospital for the Insane, a County Jail, a Trades' School at the Sockanosset School for Boys, and a Cottage for the Superintendent of the State Farm. Martin & Hall, Architects, were engaged to pre- pare plans for these buildings and work has so far advanced that building operations will commence in the early spring and be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible.''

*'A description of each building from the Architects' plans is appended."

RECEPTION HOSPITAL.

*'The Reception Hospital will form a unit of the group of buildings for the insane, although it is a separate and distinct building, located north of that group, and will be arranged and fitted with every convenience and appliance for the examina- tion and early treatment of newly admitted cases. This build- ing, fronting the south, will occupy a site on comparatively high land, bounded on the east by Howard Ave. and on the

south by the road extending from Howard Ave. westerly.*'

**The long dimension of the building, east to west, is 461 feet and the structure should be considered as divided at the center by a north and south line into male and female sections or departments, the female section occupying the portion of the building from the center line east toward Howard Ave. and the male section the westerly portion."

*'The administration section is centrally located and fronts the road from Howard Ave. and two wings are disposed on the extreme east and west ends; the wings are 102 feet long and 87 feet wide, and the space between each wing and the adminis- tration section is occupied by large open wards and day rooms on each floor with out-of-door balconies where patients sleep during treatment. Other isolated balconies for sleeping or re- creation purposes are provided on the east and west ends and north sides.''

''In the center of the Administration section is located the main entrance, fronting the south, and having a porch and driveway entrance protected by aporte cochere; the building is divided on the center line of this entrance into male and fe- male sections as befor3 described all patients are received at this entrance."

''Immediately adjoining the entrance is a reception room and an admission room and the office and private office of the physician in charge is located near at hand. At the right and left are chambers with disrobing rooms and baths, one for men and one for women, which are to be used by incoming patients during the period of examination and study and before they are admitted to the wards. A commodious stairway connects the various floors rising from the central hall of the administration section and north of this hall is located the surgical department and operating room, in connection with which are sterilizing rooms, preparation rooms, etherizing room and general supply rooms and toilets. This surgical section is entirely cut off from any other portions of the building and is thorougly light- ed from overhead skylights and will be equipped with a mod- ern outfit."

"In the second story of the administration section are the apartments of the physician in charge, a suite for his assis- tant, chambers for nurses and a nurses' class-room for gener^ al instruction."

RBPORT OF THE BOARD. 168

'"In the third story is a reception hall or sitting room for the nurses and surrounding the same and occupying the en- tire third floor are chambers for nurses and attendants and the usual complement of bathrooms and lavatories. The front of the third story is given over to a suite of rooms for the ma- tron in charge.''

''A large platform elevator arranged for hospital use, and to accommadate stretcher?, rises from the basement to the top story."

''In the basement of the administration section is a depart- ment devoted to hydrotherapeutics which will have a complete equipment of baths and other devices used in this modern form of treatment; provision is also made for a kitchen, which can be used as a cooking school, and for general serving rooms, which will supply the diet kitchens on the floors above and nurses' and servants' dining rooms."

''A fully equipped pathological laboratory arranged with large windows for microscopic research is located in one end of this basement and the balance of the space is given over to rooms for trunks and laundry for the nurses and to storage- rooms and lavatories."

''The food supply for this building will be prepared in the present kitchens and will be trucked to the reception hospi- tal by way of an underground tunnel which will connect the buildings and in which will be run thesteamand water mains."

"East and west of the administration section are open wards, two on each floor in each wing, eight in all, and each ward ac- commadates ten beds; centrally located between the wards, on each floor of each wing, is a large day-room, out of which opens an out-door recreation balcony."

"On the south side of the ward section in each story are open sleeping babonies arranged to be open in summer and closed or partially closed in winter and accommadating ten beds each."

"Adjoining each ward on each floor is a dining-room for pa- tients with a connecting serving room supplied from the base- ment by dumbwaiters."

"Each ward on each floor is provided with a lavatory ar- ranged to serve both wards and sleeping balconies, a clothes- room, having a locker for each patient, large linen rooms and utility closets; chutes for each floor run to the basement and

towel-drying shafts are provided.**

''The administration section is three stories in height, the ward wings are two stories and the east and west wings three stories, and on the first and second floors of the east and west wings are ten one-bed wards, five of which are specially de- signed for isolating the noisy and more violent cases. In these wings are located the bathing facilities and lavatories for pa- tients of the wards and wings. In the first story is a room equipped with four tubs for use in the continuous bath treat- ment. In the third story of these wings at the south end is a large open dormitory and the balance of these is given over to rooms for attendants, bathrooms, lavatories, closets, etc. In each of these end wings and arranged in conection with the ward sections is an iron stairway which serves the purpose of an enclosed fire escape. Fire escapes are provided on the ex- terior of the buildings at proper points to serve all portions. On the south ends of each wing is a solarium. The basements under the wards and wings are open and can be used for gen* eral storage, except at the north end where arrangements are made for a mortuary and an autopsy room.*'

''The buildings will be built of brick, and, while not of fire- proof construction, are so divided into sections by brick walls and fireproof doors that it will be impossible for fire to make rapid headway. The exterior treatment of the building is simple, following Colonial lines, and will result in a dignified, well proportioned structure, expressing the occupation for which it is designed.**

"Modern systems of heating and ventilation will be install- ed and the plumbing equipment will be carefully designed and special institutional fixtures provided.'*

PROVIDENCE COUNTY JAIL.

"Increased accommadations at the Prison and Jail have been urged by the Board, in its annual reports, for more than fif- teen years and conditions are such at the present time that it is imperative that new buildings be provided at once; a care- ful study of the requirements taking into consideration future development and growth, suggests that the time has arrived when the Prison and Jail should occupy entirely separated groups of buildings, closely adjoining each other, but as far as occupation and use is concerned, entirely separate and apart^**

REPORT OF THE BOARD. 165

^'Planshave been prepared for a new group of buildings, lo- cated to the south of the present Prison, on the site chosen by the Board some years ago. This new group of buildings will be arranged wholly for County Jail occupation, relieving the crowded condition of the present structures which in the future will be dedicated to Prison uses.''

"'The new Jail with its enclosed yard will occupy a rectang- ular shaped site, of about three and one-half acres in area, south of and adjoining the present Prison yard, the south wall of which will be the north wall of the Jail enclosure. This wall will be pierced by an opening over which will be located a sentry box arranged for the observation of both enclosures.''

''The exact dimensions of this area are 392 feet east and west and 886 feet north and south and the group is so planned that but little new wall is required, the buildings surrounding most of the area. Closure walls, 86 feet in length, will be built along the east and west lines between the north ends of the Jail buildings and the wall of the Prison yard. A cell wing 278 feet long and 67 feet wide occupies a position along both the east and west boundry lines. An Administration building is centrally located along the south line and between this build- ing and each of the Cell wings are workshops connecting the Administration building with the said wings."

"In the rear of the Administration building is located a Cen- tral wing, devoted to a mess room, communicating with which is a kitchen and bakery and above the mess room is the Chapel. A detached building for hospital uses is planned in the rear of the kitchen wing."

"The new buildings will have complete accommodations for 500 prisoners and will be so arranged that commitments may be made by way of the present Prison, passing through both yards, or by an entrance centrally located in the new Admin- istration building."

"The Administration building will have a rotunda or recep- tion room, an office for the warden or other officer in charge, an officers' waiting room, medical examining room, dispensary, barber shop, tailor shop, a clothes room and an officers' dining room."

"A stairway adjacent to the rotunda rises to the second story in which are sleeping accommodatiions for the officers of the institution, including the matron, and the usual complement

of bathrooms is provided. Workshops are arranged east and west of the Administration building two stories in height, two shops in each 48 feet by 94 feet, and beyond on each side are the Cell wings, each containing 260 cells arranged in three tiers. These cells will be of steel construction with enclosed balcon- ies and a utility corridor will extend between each bank of cells in which space will be run the plumbing and ventilating pipes/'

''Stairways from the different tiers-gjve access to a passage through the shops. Each passage is separated from the Work- shops proper by a grating extending lengthwise of the building. Other stairways rise between the workshop stories from the basements in which are located shower baths so arranged that all of the prisoners in each wing may bathe in groups of 100 or more. This bathing arrangement is being widely adopted in modern prison construction. The basement of the Adminis- tration building is given over to storage rooms and large rooms in which prisoners may undress and dress preparatory to bath- ing. A corridor with a stairway connects the Administration and mess room buildings. '^

''The mess room is 50 feet by 80 feet in size and in this building opening from the corridor is a library and a debtors' reading room. A stairway rises to the second story and opens upon a Chapel 50 feet by 96 feet, having a stage at the north end and a balcony, approached from the staircase, extends across the south end over which is a sentry's gallery. Beyond the mess room on the first floor are large storage rooms for cloth- ing and for kitchen supplies, and a corridor with a staircase crosses the building from east to west, north of which is the kitchen and bakery 54 feet square which will be fitted with modern culinary equipment."

"Above the kitchen is the laundry and ironing room with a large clothes room and store room adjoining and from the cor- ridor at this end of the building the platform in the Chapel can be approached. The basements of the mess room and kitchen wings are devoted wholly to storage."

"The Hospital building is to be equipped with all modern conveniences for taking care of any sickness that may develop and provision will be made for an operating room."

"The end of one of the Jail wings is arranged for the accom- modation of the criminal insane and one end of the Jail yard

will be walled off and adopted for isolating this class of pris- oners.''

'*The level of the new yard or enclosure has been fixed at a point one foot below that of the prison yard. The soil from the entire area will be removed and then the new yard will be fill- ed to a depth of about 8 feet to bring it up to the surface. The filling will come from the cellar excavations and the balance will be taken from land near the Prison.''

''The problem of sewerage disposal from the new buildings was worked out some time ago and a new system of sewers was installed at that time consisting of an 8 inch main about 1100 feet in length extending to the sewerage fields."

*'The problem of water and gas supply has been solved and provision made for extending the mains for these purposes."

"The exterior design of the building will follow closely that of the Prison. The architectual lines will be less broken and the detail less ornate, the intention being to have the Jail sub- ordinate in appearance to the Prison."

TRADES SCHOOL AT S0CKAN0S8KT.

''The Trades School will occupy a position fronting the pa- rade ground and is a building of simple design of mill con- struction, 184 feet long and 84 feet wide, two stories in height. The exterior walls will be cement finished to conform with the other buildings of this group."

"On each floor above the basement, a transverse hall divides the building into two sections. In this hall is a stairway run- ning from the basement to the second story with a lavatory on each floor and lockers will be placed along the wall sides."

"In the first story is a laundry, machine shop, carpenter shop, and printing oflBce and in the second story a pipe shop, shoe shop, paint shop and sewing room. The basement is un- divided by partitions and will be devoted to storage rooms, al- though it will be well out of ground and can in the future be divided into shops. Doors for receiving stock are provided for each of the floors at the rear and a machine equipment will be installed in each of the shops."

size, two and one-half stories in height with a hipped roof."

''The entrance is at the center facing Pontiac avenue and opens into a hall with a large living room on the west side of the first story and a dining room with china closet and pantry on the east, adjoining which is a kitchen with a rear entrance on the southerly side.''

'*A front stairway extends through to the attic. In the second story are four chambers and a bathroom and in the third story are located three chambers with a servant's room and bath adjoining."
