TRUSTEES'   REPORT. 


To  His  Excellency  the  Governor  and  the  Honorable  Council. 

The  trustees  of  the  Worcester  Insane  Hospital  respectfully 
submit  their  seventy-fourth  annual  report,  together  with  the 
reports  of  the  superintendent  and  treasurer. 

The  trustees  in  their  monthly  inspection  and  in  inspections 
made  by  various  members  of  the  Board,  at  times  unannounced, 
have  always  found  the  institution  in  good  condition,  neat  and 
well  managed,  the  food  of  excellent  quality  and  sufficient  as  to 
quantity,  the  patients  well  cared  for,  and  as  comfortable  as  the 
nature  of  their  disease  would  permit. 

They  are  glad  to  note  that  the  hospital  has  been  called  upon 
to  care  for  a  continually  decreasing  number  of  patients,  until 
the  institution  is  now  for  the  first  time  for  many  years  free 
from  overcrowding.  It  is  a  pleasure,  also,  to  record  the  fact 
that  the  general  health  of  the  inmates  has  been  excellent,  and 
that  no  serious  accident  or  epidemic  has  befallen  them. 

To  the  layman  the  most  effective  means  toward  contributing 
to  the  good  health  and  general  well  being  of  the  inmates  of 
the  hospital  would  seem  to  be  employment  of  some  kind,  and 
preferably  employment  in  the  open  air,  and  the  trustees  have, 
therefore,  been  specially  interested  in  the  efforts  to  get 
patients  out  of  the  wards  and  occupied  in  some  useful  work. 
That  these  efforts  have  met  with  a  great  measure  of  success  is 
evidenced  by  the  large  number  of  patients  whom  they  have 
found  employed  in  the  garden  and  about  the  grounds  when- 
ever they  have  visited  the  hospital. 

In  so  large  a  group  of  buildings  as  these  the  matter  of  repairs 
is  a  subject  demanding  increasing  attention  and  the  constant 


8  WORCESTER   INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Dec. 

employment  of  a  considerable  force  of  mechanics.  During  the 
past  year  a  somewhat  unusual  amount  of  such  work  has  been 
necessary  in  replacing  ceilings  and  walls,  disfigured  by  wear 
and  by  the  installation  of  the  electric  lights,  and  as  it  was 
impossible  to  vacate  the  wards  for  this  purpose,  it  has  unavoid- 
ably resulted  in  some  dirt,  discomfort  and  confusion. 

The  building  for  male  nurses  we  hope  to  have  covered  in 
during  the  coming  month  and  ready  for  occupancy  early  next 
summer.  We  ask  for  an  appropriation  of  $5,000  for  the  fur- 
nishing of  this  building. 

We  recommend  that  a  ward  three  stories  in  height  be  built 
in  connection  with  each  of  our  present  excited  wards,  each  to 
accommodate  75  patients,  to  carry  out  the  ideas  suggested  by 
our  superintendent,  in  which  we  heartily  concur,  for  the  care 
of  the  violent  insane,  the  bed-ridden  general  paralytics  and 
the  phthisical  cases.  We  ask  for  $50,000  for  building  one  of 
these  wards  the  coming  year. 

We  desire  to  use  the  basement  of  the  present  coal  shed  for 
bathing  purposes  and  devote  the  remainder  of  the  building  to 
much  needed  room  for  the  upholsterer's  department  and  the 
manufacture  of  men's  clothing.  We  ask  for  $6,000  for  this 
purpose. 

Iron  staircases  should  be  put  in  the  administration  building, 
to  replace  the  wooden  ones,  for  the  safety  of  the  employees 
who  are  to  occupy  the  fifth  story.  An  elevator  should  also  be 
provided  to  accommodate  this  and  the  other  floors  of  the  build- 
ing. We  ask  for  an  appropriation  of  $5,400  for  the  stairs,  and 
$2,200  for  the  elevator. 

For  the  purchase  of  a  tract  of  land  jutting  into  the  hospital 
property  on  the  west  line,  and  which  it  is  very  desirable  the 
hospital  should  own,  we  ask  an  appropriation  of  $4,300. 

Owing  to  the  failure  of  the  city  water  supply  for  two  days 
this  fall,  caused  by  a  stoppage  in  one  of  the  main  supply  pipes, 
the  hospital  suffered  great  inconvenience,  and  it  was  a  cause  of 
great  annoj^ance  and  anxiety  to  the  officials.  It  seems  to  us 
most  desirable  that  immediate  steps  be  taken  to  procure  an 
emergency  supply  of  water  by  sinking  wells,  installing  pumps 
and  erecting  storage  tanks  of  sufficient  capacity  to  assure  us  of 
a  generous  reserve  supply.

We  were  sorry  to  lose  the  services  of  Dr.  A.  I.  Noble,  whose 
integrity,  ability  and  genial  personality  had  won  the  confi- 
dence and  esteem  of  associates  and  patients.  He  resigned 
Dec.  11,  1905,  to  accept  the  superintendency  of  the  Michigan 
Asylum  at  Kalamazoo,  Mich. 

It  is  with  sorrow  we  record  the  death  of  our  former  associate, 
the  Hon.  Rockwood  Hoar.  Few  men  are  privileged  to  receive 
so  many  marks  of  esteem  from  his  associates  and  community. 
We  herewith  record  our  appreciation  of  his  high  character  and 
ability  and  the  great  interest  he  took  in  the  affairs  of  the 
institution. 

We  renew  our  expressions  of  esteem  and  appreciation  to  the 
superintendent  and  the  members  of  the  staff,  officials  and 
employees  for  their  faithful  and  efficient  services. 

Respectfully  submitted,

10  WORCESTER  INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Dec. 


SUPERINTENDENT'S   REPORT. 


To  the  Trustees  of  the  Worcester  Insane  Hospital. 

I  herewith  respectfully  submit  the  following  report  of  the 
hospital  for  the  year  ending  Nov.  30,  1906,  it  being  the 
seventy-fourth  annual  report. 

There  remained  at  the  hospital  Oct.  1,  1905,  1,202  patients, 
—  589  men  and  613  women.  During  the  year  ending  Sept. 
30,  1906,  there  were  admitted  486  patients,  —  263  men  and 
223  women.  Five  hundred  and  ninety-six  patients  —  279  men 
and  317  women  —  were  dismissed  from  the  hospital.  Of  this 
number,  201  patients — 111  men  and  90  women  —  were  dis- 
charged; 136  patients  —  70  men  and  66  women  —  died;  194 
patients  —  61  men  and  133  women  —  were  transferred,  and 
65  patients  —  37  men  and  28  women — left  on  visit  and  escape, 
leaving  at  the  end  of  the  statistical  year  1,092  patients,  —  573 
men  and  519  women.  Of  this  number,  852  were  supported 
by  the  State,  3  women  (habitual  drunkards)  by  towns,  153  by 
friends  and  84  as  reimbursing  patients.  Of  the  395  patients 
discharged  and  transferred,  82  (including  5  habitual  drunkards, 
women)  were  reported  recovered,  52  capable  of  self  support, 
41  improved  and  2'24  not  improved.  Six  were  discharged  as 
not  insane.  Fifty  women  were  transferred  by  the  State  Board 
of  Insanity  to  the  Worcester  Insane  Asylum,  57  men  and  27 
women  to  the  State  Colony  at  Gardner,  28  women  to  the  State 
Hospital,  Tewksbury,  14  women  to  the  Boston  Insane  Hos- 
pital, 1  man  each  to  McLean  Hospital  and  Westborough,  and 
1  woman  to  Danvers.  Twenty-six  men  and  13  women  were 
removed  from  the  State,  and  2  men  and  14  women  were 
boarded  out. 

There  remained  at  the  end  of  the  year  110  patients  less  than 
at  the  beginning.  The  smallest  number  under  treatment  on 
any  one  day  was  1,065,  and  the  largest,  1,225.  The  daily 
average  number  was  1,157.92. 


1906.]  PUBLIC   DOCUMENT  — No.  23.  11 

The  percentage  of  recoveries,  calculated  upon  the  number  of 
discharges  and  deaths,  was  15.1  ;  calculated  upon  the  number 
of  admissions  it  was  16.9. 

The  death-rate  was  8,  calculated  on  the  whole  number  of 
patients  under  treatment,  and  11.7  calculated  on  the  daily 
average  number. 

We  have  had  no  serious  accident  during  the  year  and  no 
cases  of  contagious  disease,  except  a  few  cases  of  measles,  con- 
fined chiefly  to  the  nurses  and  employees. 

In  November,  1905,  Miss  Linda  A.  J.  Richards  was  obliged, 
on  account  of  ill  health,  to  resign  her  position  as  superin- 
tendent of  nurses,  and  Miss  Anna  C.  Farley  was  appointed  in 
her  place. 

On  June  26,  1906,  26  nurses,  having  completed  the  pre- 
scribed course  of  study  and  having  successfully  passed  their 
final  examinations,  were  graduated  from  the  training  school. 
Thirteen  of  these  graduates  remain  with  us  as  supervisors  and 
head  attendants.  Eight  are  now  taking  a  six  months'  post- 
graduate course  in  nursing  in  general  hospitals,  and  others  are 
planning  to  do  so.  This  year  there  are  17  young  women  in 
the  senior  class  and  46  in  the  junior  class. 

Aside  from  the  general  repairs,  we  have  during  the  year 
repainted  the  walls  and  woodwork  and  taken  off  and  replastered 
nearly  all  of  the  ceilings  on  the  women's  side  of  the  house. 
The  same  is  now  being  done  in  the  male  wards. 

In  our  sewing  room  we  have  installed  eight  sewing  machines 
and  a  button-hole  machine,  operated  by  electric  motors,  and 
are  now  able  to  manufacture  our  men's  shirts  and  women's 
wrappers,  besides  all  our  bed  linen  and  general  household  sup- 
plies. As  soon  as  the  necessary  room  can  be  provided  therefor 
we  hope  to  begin  to  manufacture  our  men's  clothing. 

The  building  for  male  nurses,  provided  for  by  the  last  Legis- 
lature, is  now  well  under  way  and  will  no  doubt  be  covered  in 
during  the  coming  month,  and  be  completed  and  ready  for  fur- 
nishing early  in  the  summer.  For  this  an  appropriation  of 
$5,000  will  be  needed. 

The  time  has  come,  I  believe,  when  better  provisions  should 
be  made  for  our  violent  insane,  our  bed-ridden  general  para- 
lytics and  our  cases  of  tuberculosis.     In  the  thirty  years  since 


12  WORCESTER   INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Dec 

the  hospital  was  built  there  has  been  great  progress  in  all  that 
pertains  to  the  treatment  of  the  insane,  and  many  of  the  pro- 
visions then  considered  adequate  for  their  care  are  now  set 
aside  as  antiquated  or  worse  than  antiquated.  This  is  especially 
true  in  regard  to  the  violent  insane.  At  the  time  the  hospital 
was  built  it  was  thought  necessary  to  provide  single  rooms  for 
all  such  patients,  as  a  protection  to  themselves  and  others. 
Here,  when  they  became  disturbed,  they  could  be  isolated,  or 
if  they  were  violent  and  refused  to  remain  in  bed  they  could 
be  restrained  by  mechanical  means.  If  noisy  or  sleepless,  the 
recognized  treatment  was  to  secure  quiet  through  the  use  of 
drugs.  Few,  if  any,  would  at  that  time  have  regarded  it  as 
possible  to  treat  such  cases  in  a  dormitory  ward  and  in  the 
same  manner  as  a  majority  of  the  sick  are  cared  for  in  a  general 
hospital. 

Experience  has  proved,  however,  that  the  isolation  of  patients 
is  almost  always  followed  by  untoward  results,  and  leads  to 
habits  and  practices  not  easily  corrected,  and  that  dormitory 
treatment  for  the  majority  of  these  cases  is  perfectly  feasible. 
In  place  of  drugs  and  mechanical  restraint,  we  now  resort  to 
the  hot  pack  and  prolonged  bath  as  a  means  of  allaying  excite- 
ment and  sleeplessness,  and  instead  of  isolating  such  patients 
we  have  come  to  feel  that  unless  they  can  be  constantly  under 
the  care  and  observation  of  a  sufficient  corps  of  competent 
nurses  the  best  that  can  be  done  for  them  has  not  been  done. 
In  an  overcrowded  ward,  with  no  dormitory  except  an  open 
corridor,  and  only  a  single  bathtub,  we  have  found  it  difficult 
in  all  cases  to  apply  this  method  of  treatment,  due  regard  being 
paid  (as  was  necessary)  to  economy  of  service.  But  now  after 
several  years'  trial,  under  these  adverse  conditions,  I  have  no 
hesitancy  in  adding  my  testimony  to  the  efficiency  of  this 
method,  and  in  urging  that  the  hospital  be  equipped  with  the 
means  for  more  effectually  and  satisfactorily  carrying  it  out. 
To  do  this,  and  at  the  same  time  provide  for  our  general  para- 
lytics and  our  cases  of  tuberculosis,  I  would  recommend  that 
a  ward  three  stories  in  height  be  built  in  connection  with  each 
of  our  present  excited  wards,  each  to  accommodate  75  patients, 
and  that  an  appropriation  of  $50,000  for  building  one  of  these 
wards  be  asked  for  the  coming  year. 

In  a  large  hospital  for  the  insane  the  proper  bathing  of  its 


1906.]  PUBLIC   DOCUMENT  — No.  23.  13 

patients  is  a  source  of  no  little  anxiety  on  the  part  of  the 
management.  It  is  a  matter  that  requires  care,  tact  and  judg- 
ment on  the  part  of  the  nurse  if  accidents  would  be  avoided, 
and  especially  in  the  case  of  a  refractory  patient.  It  may  be 
subject  to  many  abuses,  and  is  not  readily  supervised  when  the 
bathing  is  conducted  on  the  wards  as  now,  and  it  requires, 
moreover,  a  great  deal  of  time  which  the  nurse  could  better 
employ  otherwise.  A  central  bath,  under  the  charge  of  a  bath- 
ing master  and  bathing  mistress,  would  insure  more  satisfactory 
service  in  this  direction,  and  would  no  doubt  be  a  matter  of  no 
little  economy  for  the  institution.  This  could  be  provided  for 
at  a  relatively  small  expense  in  the  basement  of  our  present 
coal  shed,  which  could  be  well  given  up  to  this  purpose,  since 
it  is  of  but  little  use  for  storage  of  coal,  as  it  will  hold  only  a 
very  small  part  of  the  coal  now  burned.  The  remainder  of  the 
building  would  furnish  us  the  much-needed  rooms  for  our 
upholsterer's  department  and  for  the  manufacturing  of  our 
men's  clothing.  The  estimated  cost  of  these  alterations  is 
$6,000. 

To  provide  quarters  for  our  increasing  number  of  help,  the 
fifth  story  of  the  administration  building,  left  unfinished  at  the 
time  the  hospital  was  built,  has  been  cut  up  into  rooms. 
Before  these  rooms  are  occupied,  better  methods  of  exit  in  case 
of  fire  should  be  provided.  The  present  wooden  staircase  should 
be  removed  and  iron  stairs  put  in  their  place.  A  passenger 
elevator  should  also  be  provided  to  accommodate  this  and  the 
other  floors  of  the  administration  building.  The  estimated  cost 
of  the  iron  stairs  is  $5,400,  and  of  the  elevator  $2,200. 

Owing  to  some  accident  to  the  city  water  supply  the  hos- 
pital was  for  two  days  and  nights  recently  without  city  water, 
and  obliged  to  depend  upon  wells  upon  the  place  for  drinking- 
water  and  for  that  used  for  culinary  purposes,  and  upon  water 
hauled  from  the  lake  to  supply  our  steam  plant.  While  such 
an  accident  may  happen  only  once  in  a  lifetime,  the  conse- 
quences resulting  therefrom  are  so  annoying  and  may  easily 
be  so  serious  that  it  would  seem  that  some  provision  ought  to 
be  made  to  meet  an  emergency  of  this  kind. 

There  is  a  small  tract  of  land  jutting  into  the  hospital  prop- 
erty on  its  west  line,  in  close  proximity  to  the  women's  wards 
and  recreation  grounds,  which  it  is  very  desirable  that  the  hos- 


14  WORCESTER   INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Dec. 

pital  should  secure.  It  can  now  be  bought  at  a  reasonable 
price,  and  if  not  bought  by  us  will  be  cut  up  into  building  lots 
and  no  doubt  soon  built  upon.  Its  control  by  the  hospital  is 
all  the  more  desirable  now  that  the  remaining  land  on  our  west 
and  northwest  line  has  come  into  the  hands  of  the  city  to  be 
used  for  the  purposes  of  a  park,  so  that  if  this  small  tract  is 
secured,  we  shall  be  forever  free  from  encroachment  upon  this 
side  of  the  hospital  property.  There  are  several  springs  and  a 
small  reservoir  on  this  land  which  could  easily  be  made  of  use 
to  the  hospital ;  in  fact,  they  might  very  possibly  prove  large 
enough  to  furnish  a  temporary  supply  of  water  in  cases  of 
emergency  like  that  above  mentioned. 

The  following  changes  have  taken  place  in  the  staff  of  the 
hospital :  Dr.  A.  I.  Noble,  assistant  superintendent,  resigned 
Dec.  11,  1905,  to  accept  the  superintendency  of  the  Michigan 
Asylum  at  Kalamazoo,  Mich.,  and  in  July  and  October,  1906, 
Drs.  Walter  C.  Haviland,  James  H.  Mackintosh  and  Harry  W. 
Hammond  left  us  to  enter  general  practice.  Theodore  A. 
Hoch  was  promoted  from  pathologist  to  first  assistant  physician, 
Freeman  A.  Tower  from  assistant  physician  to  pathologist,  and 
George  B.  Landers  and  Robert  O.  LeBaron  from  junior  to 
senior  assistants. 

In  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Noble  the  institution  has  lost  a 
most  valuable  officer.  He  had  served  the  hospital  as  assistant 
physician  and  assistant  superintendent  for  eighteen  years  with 
a  measure  of  service  of  the  highest  character.  The  deep  in- 
terest which  he  showed  for  those  under  his  care,  his  genial 
manner  and  his  attractive  presence  at  once  won  the  confidence 
not  only  of  his  associates  but  of  his  patients  and  their  friends. 
Although  fflad  that  this  well-merited  advance  has  come  to  him, 
and  eager  to  congratulate  him  upon  his  appointment  to  so 
responsible  and  honorable  a  position,  every  one  connected 
with  the  institution  was  sincerely  sorry  to  see  him  go. 

We  wish  to  thank  the  proprietors  of  the  ' '  Worcester  Even- 
ing Gazette  "  and  the  "  Fitchburg  Sentinel "  for  copies  of  their 
papers,  and  the  Worcester  Employment  Society  for  sewing.
