TRUSTEES'  REPORT. 

To  His  Excellency  the  Governor,  and  the  Honorable  Council: 

The  Trustees  of  the  Worcester  State  Hospital  respectfully  submit  this,  the 
ninety-second  annual  report  of  the  Hospital,  together  with  the  report  of  the  Superin- 
tendent, William  A.  Bryan,  M.D.,  the  report  of  the  Treasurer,  Miss  Jessie  M.  D. 
Hamilton,  and  various  statistical  and  other  information. 

In  November,  1924,  the  Trustees  elected  Hon.  Edward  F.  Fletcher  of  Worcester 
as  Chairman,  and  Miss  Caroline  M.  Caswell  of  Northborough  as  Secretary. 

Progress  continues  to  be  made  in  making  the  institution  less  and  less  an  asylum 
for  the  unfortunate,  and  more  and  more  a  hospital  for  the  mentally  sick. 

It  is  a  cause  for  satisfaction  that  the  antiquated  system,  or  lack  of  system,  of 
toilet  and  bath  facilities  in  one  ell  of  the  women's  ward  at  the  Summer  Street 
hospital  has  been  remedied  during  the  past  year,  so  that  that  part  of  the  institution 
is  now  provided  with  modern  and  adequate  plumbing  and  fixtures. 

The  plan  of  serving  meals  in  the  cafeteria  style  to  the  men  patients  at  the  Belmont 
Street  hospital,  inaugurated  during  the  past  year,  has  been  given  thorough  trial, 
and  is  heartily  approved.  Now  that  the  necessary  appropriation  has  been  secured 
for  a  new  congregate  dining-hall,  as  before  desired,  the  trustees  recommend  that 
the  same  cafeteria  system  be  extended  so  as  to  serve  all  patients,  both  men  and 
women,  who  are  able  to  go  to  the  dining-hall  for  meals.  The  arrangement  for  the 
cafeteria  of  the  past  months  was  only  temporary  and  experimental.  The  space 
thereby  occupied  is  needed  for  other  uses  as  soon  as  the  new  dining  space  is  provided. 

The  old  ice-box  refrigerators  are  in  bad  repair,  and  are  inefficient  and  expensive. 
There  is  very  considerable  loss  in  food,  both  meat  and  fish,  by  reason  of  the  impos- 
sibility of  keeping  the  same  at  proper  temperature.  Dampness  with  improper 
temperature  causes  meat  to  grow  mouldy,  so  that  the  spoiled  portions  must  be 
trimmed  off  and  thrown  away.  Moreover,  it  is  difficult  to  retain  the  services  of 
meat-cutters,  on  account  of  the  conditions  under  which  they  are  forced  to  work. 
It  is  the  belief  of  the  trustees  that  these  difficulties  w^ould  be  remedied  by  the  instal- 
lation of  a  modern  artificial  refrigeration  plant,  and  that  actual  saving  would  result. 

The  keeping  of  cattle,  and  especially  of  calves  and  young  stock,  is  a  problem  which 
ought  to  be  solved  at  once ;  also  the  handling  of  feed  and  milk.  Since  the  tubercular 
'cattle  were  killed,  the  entire  herd  has  been  quartered  at  Hillside,  a  distance  of  two 
land  one-half  miles  from  the  hospital,  occasioning  large  expense  in  transportation  of 
iboth  supplies  and  products.  The  barns  are  inadequate,  and  the  accommodations 
for  young  stock  are  very  poor.  A  new  cow  barn  should  be  built  at  the  main  farm, 
I  which  should  also  be  provided  with  suitable  quarters  for  rearing  calves.  The 
present  primitive  methods  of  cooling  and  handling  milk  should  be  altered  through 
the  installation  of  modern  and  efficient  appliances  and  system. 

The  problem  of  the  rapidly  changing  personnel  of  the  employees  of  the  hospital 
lis  very  serious,  especially  on  the  male  side.  It  seems  astonishing  that  during  the 
I  year  1924  the  labor  turnover  on  the  male  side  amounted  to  225  per  cent.  Means 
i  should  be  provided  to  investigate  and  study  the  causes  of  these  changes,  in  order, 
lif  possible,  to  lessen  their  frequency,  and  thereby  improve  the  efficiency  of  the 
I  force,  through  greater  permanency.  Very  likely  similar  conditions  may  exist  in 
,  other  institutions  in  the  Commonwealth.  At  all  events,  it  seems  important  that 
I  immediate  steps  be  taken  to  ascertain  the  causes  thereof,  in  order  that  the  proper 
I  remedies  may  be  found  to  correct  these  conditions. 


4  P.D.  23. 

The  trustees  wish  to  record  their  satisfaction  with  the  conduct  of  the  Worcester 
State  Hospital  under  the  lead  of  the  Superintendent,  Dr.  Bryan,  and  his  loyal 
assistants.  The  staff  is  keenly  alive  to  the  needs  of  the  patients  for  physical  and 
mental  comfort  and  improvement.

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 

To  the  Trustees  of  the  Worcester  State  Hospital: 

I  herewith  respectfully  submit  the  following  report  of  the  Hospital  for  the  year 
ending  November  30,  1924,  it  being  the  ninety-second  annual  report. 

There  remained  on  the  Hospital  books  October  1,  1923,  2,579  patients,  1,372 
men  and  1,207  women.  During  the  year  ending  September  30,  1924,  there  were 
admitted  612  patients — 342  men  and  270  women.  Six  hundred  and  fifty-four 
patients — 414  men  and  240  women,  were  discharged  from  the  hospital.  Of  this 
number,  366  patients,  234  men  and  132  women — were  discharged;  216  patients — 
125  men  and  91  women  died;  and  65  patients — 52  men  and  13  women — were  trans- 
ferred, leaving  at  the  end  of  the  statistical  year  2,536  patients — 1,299  men  and 
1,237  women.  Two  thousand,  one  hundred  and  twenty-three  patients — 1,035  men 
and  1,088  women — were  actually  in  the  institution.  Of  this  1,924  were  supported 
by  the  State,  87  by  friends,  and  112  as  reimbursing  patients.  Of  the  patients 
discharged,  79  were  reported  as  recovered,  175  as  improved,  and  71  not  improved. 
Forty-one  patients, — 29  men  and  12  women — were  discharged  as  not  insane. 
Forty-three  men  were  transferred  by  the  Department  of  Mental  Diseases  to  the 
United  States  Veterans'  Hospital  No.  95  at  Northampton;  5  men  and  6  women  to 
the  State  Infirmary;  2  men  and  5  women  to  Medford  State  Hospital;  1  man  to 
Dan  vers  State  Hospital;  1  man  and  1  woman  to  the  Bridgewater  State  Hospital;  1 
woman  to  Westwood  Lodge.  Ten  men  and  4  women  were  removed  from  the 
State,  and  25  men  and  7  women  were  deported. 

There  remained  in  the  hospital  at  the  end  of  the  year  43  less  patients  than  at  the 
beginning.  The  smallest  number  under  treatment  on  any  day  was  2,114  patients, 
and  the  largest  2,211.    The  daily  average  was  2,142.56. 

The  percentage  of  recoveries,  calculated  upon  the  number  of  discharges  and 
deaths,  was  13.59,  calculated  upon  the  number  of  admissions  14.28.  The  death  rate 
was  6.76  calculated  on  the  whole  number  of  patients  under  treatment,  and  10.81 
calculated  on  the  daily  average  number. 

General  Health  of  the  Population. 
Generally  speaking,  the  physical  health  of  the  patients  has  been  good.  I  regret, 
however,  to  report  that  a  male  patient,  whUe  returning  from  the  moving  pictures, 
threw  himself  head  first  over  the  railing  on  third  floor  and  died  within  half  an 
hour.  Also  a  male  patient  jumped  from  fourth  floor  piazza  and  died  ten 
minutes  later.  A  male  patient  who  left  the  hospital  without  permission  was  acci- 
dentally drowned  at  the  lake. 

Principal  Causes  of  Deaths. 
Sixteen  per  cent  of  all  deaths  were  due  to  general  paralysis  of  the  insane;    14 
per  cent  to  arteriosclerosis;   13  per  cent  to  cardio-vascular-renal;   10  per  cent  each 
from  pulmonary  tuberculosis  and  bronchopneumonia  and  8  per  cent  from  chronic 
myocarditis. 

Staff  Changes.

Medical  Report. 
The  medical  and  surgical  facilities  of  this  hospital  have  been  considerably  en- 
hanced by  the  delegation  of  medical  and  surgical  work  strictly  to  a  selected  portion 
of  the  staff,  including  one  senior  assistant  phj^sician  and  two  junior  assistant 
physicians,  with  a  junior  physician  caring  for  the  laboratory  work.  The  laboratory 
physician  is  under  the  supervision  of  the  senior  assistant,  and  has  in  turn  two 
technicians  as  his  assistants.  It  is  felt  that  by  such  division  of  the  work,  the  pa- 
tients receive  better  care  as  to  their  physical  well-being,  and  that  some  of  the  more 
obscure  physical  conditions  are  more  easily  recognized. 

Surgery. 

Major  Operations:  Gastrotomy,  2;  Tonsillectomies,  11;  Amputation  of  Finger, 
2;  Appendectomies,  5;  Gastro-enterostomies,  1;  Double  Herniotomy,  1;  Chole-

Clinics. 

The  clinics  are  cared  for  entirely  by  the  Medical  Service,  and  are  held  at  appointed 
hours  each  week,  whenever  there  are  patients  who  need  examination  in  these  clinics. 
At  these  clinics  the  Staff  physicians  receive  the  benefit  of  advice  and  assistance 
from  our  attending  physicians  and  surgeons,  who  are  at  all  times  on  call. 

The  attending  physician  visits  the  hospital  each  Tuesday,  and  examines  with 
the  members  of  the  Medical  Staff  such  cases  as  need  particular  attention. 

The  attending  ophthalmologist,  rhinologist,  otologist  and  laryngologist  visits 
the  hospital  each  Wednesday,  and  examines  such  cases  as  are  referred  to  him  by  the 
Medical  Staff. 

There  are  also  on  call,  and  easily  accessible,  surgeons,  both  general  and  ortho- 
pedic; neurologists  and  other  specialists  in  the  various  branches,  all  within  ten 
minutes  of  the  hospital.

Tubercular  Lymphadinitis,  1  case);  Dental  X-rays,  177  patients;  Out-Patient 
Clinics,  10  cases;  skull,  chest,  long  bones. 

Social  Service  Department. 
During  the  year  439  cases  were  referred  to  the  Social  Service  Department. 
Of  this  number,  112  cases  were  referred  for  medical-social  histories,  167  for  special 
investigation,  and  150  for  supervision  of  patients  on  visit  in  the  community.  In 
addition  to  the  cases  referred  to  us  this  year,  275  visit  cases  were  carried  over  from 
the  previous  year.  Inasmuch  as  all  (or  nearly  all)  patients  leaving  the  hospital  are 
technically  "on  visit"  for  a  year,  their  names  are  automatically  placed  upon  ouxi 
lists  and  we  endeavor  to  give  them  supervision  according  to  their  needs.    We  havei 


P.D.  23.  7 

thus  carried  an  average  monthly  case-load  of  260  patients,  and  it  has  been  literally 
impossible  to  give  adequate  follow-up  care  to  so  many  persons. 

Fourteen  cases  per  month,  on  the  average,  have  been  referred  for  special  investi- 
gation, each  investigation  requiring  interviews  with  at  least  four  persons  and  some- 
times ten  or  twelve  persons.  About  half  of  the  investigations  have  been  made 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  additional  data  for  psychiatric  diagnosis, 
and  special  care  has  been  taken  to  clear  up  cases  in  which  conflicting  stories  are  told 
by  different  relatives,  cases  in  which  the  patient's  conduct  in  the  hospital  is  mark- 
edly different  from  that  reported  by  the  persons  responsible  for  the  commitment, 
and  cases  of  patients  sent  by  court  action.  A  thoroughgoing  search  for  informa- 
tion has  occasionally  revealed  evidence  that  a  patient  whose  conduct  in  the  hospital 
showed  nothing  abnormal  was  suffering  from  delusions  which  made  him  a  potential 
menace  to  public  safety;  and  on  the  other  hand  it  has  occasionally  shown  that  the 
responsibility  for  the  care  of  a  harmless  patient  was  being  shifted  to  the  State  by  a 
family  well  able  to  carry  the  burden.  The  other  half  of  the  investigations  have 
been  made  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  the  family  situation  in  the  homes  of 
patients  about  to  be  released  on  visit,  in  order  to  insure  conditions  that  shall  be 
conducive  to  mental  health. 

An  analysis  of  the  problems  of  the  439  social  service  cases  shows  the  following 
results: — In  48  cases  there  was  physical  disability  in  addition  to  mental  illness; 
many  of  these  being  cases  of  venereal  disease;  38  cases  presented  sex  problems; 
in  25  cases  financial  troubles  were  an  added  factor;  44  had  difficulty  regarding 
employment;  45  had  marital  troubles,  and  53  others  had  friction  with  members  of 
the  family  or  others  with  whom  they  were  in  close  contact;  96,  including  many 
alcoholic  cases,  were  essentially  personality  problems;  and  the  others  presented 
problems  for  re-education  in  habits  and  tastes. 

The  great  problem  for  the  psychiatric  social  worker  is  to  help  the  patient  adjust 
himself  to  the  environment  to  which  he  goes  when  he  leaves  the  hospital,  and,  by 
helping  the  family  to  understand  the  patient's  needs,  make  the  environment  favor- 
able to  further  improvement  and  permanent  adjustment.  As  a  contribution  toward 
this  end,  706  visits  have  been  made  to  patients  or  their  families,  friends,  social 
agencies,  and  others  interested  in  the  patients.  In  23  cases  we  have  been  able  to 
arrange  for  a  patient  to  have  medical  care  after  leaving  the  hospital.  In  44  cases 
some  modification  of  the  environment  has  been  effected  in  the  interests  of  the 
patient.  The  co-operation  of  various  agencies  has  been  helpful  in  the  adjustment 
of  45  patients.  We  have  received  aid  from  Family  Welfare  agencies,  especially  in 
teaching  a  housewife  to  plan  her  expenditures  economically,  and  have  had  the 
co-operation  of  visiting  nurses  and  out-patient  clinics.  Child-placing  agencies 
have  been  helpful  in  arranging  for  the  care  of  the  children  of  some  of  our  patients, 
and  the  Boys'  Club  has  been  an  asset  in  the  training  of  boys  who  are  brought  to  our 
out-patient  clinic  for  juvenile  delinquency. 

The  employment  situation  has  been  unfavorable  to  the  placement  of  such  pa- 
tients as  are  unable  to  find  employment  for  themselves,  because  in  times  of  depres- 
sion the  mentally  handicapped  are  the  last  to  be  accepted.  However,  19  of  our 
patients  have  been  placed  in  new  positions  or  returned  to  positions  formerly  held, 
some  of  them  being  patients  who  require  special  understanding  and  interest  to 
keep  them  out  of  the  hospital.  This  group,  exclusive  of  those  who  have  had  to  be 
returned  to  the  hospital,  is  fully  self-supporting  and  has  approximately  $500  in 
savings  banks.  Excellent  co-operation  has  been  obtained  from  St.  Anne's  Orphan- 
age, which  institution  has  recently  begun  to  take  our  patients  into  its  employ. 

The  number  of  boarding  patients  is  at  present  15.  Three  new  homes  were  found 
this  year. 

We  have  been  particularly  fortunate  in  having  the  services  of  Mr.  Boisson,  the 
chaplain,  in  investigating  and  following  up  all  cases  in  which  the  religious  problem 
is  an  outstanding  feature.  Through  him  also  we  have  obtained  closer  contact  with 
the  churches  and  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

The  attendance  of  a  social  worker  has  been  required  at  81  out-patient  clinics, 
and  over  100  histories  have  been  taken.  In  certain  cases  arrangements  have  been 
made  for  follow-up  care  by  other  agencies,  and  the  regular  weekly  conference  on 
clinic  cases  is  usually  attended  by  us  both.  Fifteen  schools  have  been  visited  in 
order  to  arrange  for  the  school  clinic  which  the  law  provides  for  the  examination  of 


8  P.D.  23. 

children  three  years  retarded,  and  the  school  nurses  have  been  instructed  how  to 
take  the  histories. 

During  the  year  three  addresses  were  made  by  the  department  and  six  lectures 
were  given  to  the  nurses  of  the  hospital. 

Religious  Services. 

•  Weekly  services  have  been  held  both  at  the  Main  Department  and  at  Summer 
Street  for  our  Protestant,  Catholic  and  Jewish  patients. 

Rev.  A.  T.  Boisson  was  appointed  permanent  Protestant  chaplain  and  has 
studied  a  number  of  patients  whose  psychoses  have  shown  a  religious  coloring. 
It  is  our  intention  to  carry  this  work  on  for  some  time  to  come. 

Training  School. 

The  work  of  the  Training  School  has  been  carried  on  during  the  year  and  the 
prescribed  curriculum  of  the  State  Board  of  Registration  has  been  carefully  fol- 
lowed. 

Eight  graduates  received  their  diplomas  in  June,  1924.  The  Attendants  Course 
for  both  men  and  women  has  been  carried  on,  two  complete  courses  being  given. 
This  course  is  compulsory  and  no  attendant  is  permitted  to  remain  in  the  service 
without  passing  it. 

Miss  Olive  Estey,  R.N.,  assistant  superintendent  of  nurses,  resigned  in  January 
to  accept  the  position  of  Superintendent  of  Nurses  at  the  Danvers  State  Hospital. 
Miss  Ethel  Oliver,  R.N.,  was  appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy  and  remained  until 
October  when  she  was  compelled  to  resign  on  account  of  ill  health.  Miss  Georgia 
Clarke,  R.N.,  succeeded  Miss  Oliver. 

The  training  school  for  nurses  remains  a  very  important  phase  of  the  hospital 
activities.  Under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Florence  Woolridge,  R.N.,  it  has  continued 
to  improve  and  our  ideal  is  to  offer  a  course  of  training  for  nurses  that  will  be  second 
to  none.  It  is  by  a  continuation  and  extension  of  our  training  schools  that  our 
standard  of  care  for  the  mentally  ill  will  be  raised  to  the  high  level  it  should  occupy 
and  we  propose  to  further  enlarge  the  activities  of  the  school. 

New  diet  kitchens  have  been  inaugurated  where  our  pupils  receive  practical 
instruction  in  invalid  cookery  under  the  guidance  of  a  graduate  dietitian. 

Our  general  medical  work  has  increased  to  the  point  where  our  pupils  are  receiv- 
ing much  practical  nursing  and  our  graduates  are  eminently  fitted  to  carry  on 
general  nursing  with  credit  to  themselves  and  the  school. 

Out-Patient  Report. 

Examination  of  the  tables  will  show  that  the  out-patient  service  rendered  by  the 
hospital  is  increasing.  From  41  separate  sources,  cases  were  referred,  and  many 
patients  came  on  their  owoi  initiative,  these  being  listed  in  the  tables  as  private 
patients.  Cases  were  seen  in  17  different  places.  The  Psychiatrist,  Dr.  M.  B. 
Root,  and  the  Psychologist,  Dr.  Grace  H.  Kent,  and  the  Social  Workers,  Miss 
Theodora  Land  and  Miss  Jennie  Harrington,  remain  as  last  year. 

The  most  successful  clinic  has  been  that  held  at  Memorial  Hospital.  The  Habit 
Clinic,  held  at  the  Temporary  Home  and  Day  Nursery,  we  have  not  held  for 
months.  We  have  had  comparatively  few  cases  of  pre-school  children  and  many  of 
these  have  preferred  to  come  to  Memorial  Hospital.  The  adult  Psychiatric  Clinic 
has  been  held  since  April  15,  1925,  at  the  City  Hospital  Out-Patient  Department, 
in  conjunction  with  their  Neurological  Clinic.  This  is  becoming  more  and  more 
satisfactory.  Since  May  26,  1924,  a  weekly  clinic  at  the  Lowell  Corporation 
Hospital  has  been  held.  This  was  fairly  well  attended  for  a  time,  but  attendance 
dropped  so  that  it  seemed  useless  to  attend  more  often  than  once  a  month. 
Because  of  our  increasing  work  in  Worcester  and  the  fallacy  of  traveUing  so  far  for  j 
so  few  cases,  I  believe  that  this  clinic  should  be  given  up  for  the  present. 

The  ideals  of  our  out-patient  work  remain  the  same.  We  have  attempted  to 
make  well-rounded  studies  of  the  children  and  the  adults  examined.  During  July 
and  August,  1924,  the  Psychiatrist  and  Psychologist  were  present  at  the  sessions 
of  the  Juvenile  Court.  We  examined  children  at  the  court  and  made  reports  to 
aid  the  Judge  in  his  decisions.  The  weekly  conferences  are  still  held  at  the  public 
library.    At  these  conferences  practically  all  the  clinic  cases  are  discussed.     Fol-  j 


P.D.  23.  9 

lowing  this  discussion  a  letter  of  summary  and  recommendations  is  sent.  We 
have  perfected  a  system  for  keeping  in  touch  with  our  cases  and  we  expect  this 
follow-up  work  will  be  valuable. 

During  the  summer  an  attempt  was  made  to  see  regularly,  at  the  Summer  Street 
department,  patients  on  visit  from  the  hospital.  Very  few  patients  came  in  re- 
sponse to  the  letters,  so  that  this  was  discontinued.  We  are  at  present  working 
over  plans  for  seeing  these  patients  regularly.

Occupational  Therapy. 

In  September,  1923,  we  inaugurated  a  school  for  the  training  of  Occupational 
Therapists  and  in  September,  1924,  three  pupils  were  graduated  and  given  certifi- 
cates. The  present  class  consists  of  five  young  women  who  will  receive  their 
certificates  in  September,  1925. 

The  Occupational  Therapy  Department  is  a  very  important  part  of  the  hospital. 
An  average  of  400  patients  are  treated  each  day  in  our  classes  and  they  contribute 
in  no  small  degree  to  the  improvement  and  recovery  of  our  patients.  All  articles 
made  in  this  department  are  utUized  by  the  hospital,  no  sale  being  permitted. 

General  Maintenance  of  the  Hospital. 

The  ordinary  repairs  of  buildings  and  grounds  have  been  kept  up.  No  new  con- 
struction of  buildmgs  has  been  carried  on  but  a  number  of  large  projects  have  been 
completed  during  the  year.  The  water  sections  in  the  Lincoln  wards  have  been 
completely  renovated  and  new  plumbing  has  been  installed.  A  similar  project 
has  been  carried  on  at  the  Summer  Street  department  but  has  not  yet  been  com- 
pleted. 

Perhaps  the  most  radical  change  made  during  the  year  is  in  the  method  of  feeding 
our  patients.  This  hospital  has  had  no  central  dining-room  but  each  ward  has  had 
its  own  dining-room.  The  inability  to  supervise  the  distribution  of  food,  the 
difficulty  of  transportation  and  the  lack  of  facilities  for  keeping  food  warm,  made 
this  a  very  unsatisfactory  way  of  handling  the  problem.  A  system  of  feeding 
patients  by  means  of  a  cafeteria  was  inaugurated  and  this  has  been  so  successful 
that  it  is  our  purpose  to  open  other  cafeterias  where  patients  will  receive  their  food 
hot  and  in  proper  quantities. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  thank  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  the  support  and  encour- 
agement given  me.  I  also  wish  to  thank  the  officers  and  employees  of  the  hospital 
for  their  loyalty  and  labor.  Without  their  assistance  and  their  constant  endeavor 
to  improve  the  service  rendered  by  the  hospital,  nothing  could  be  accomplished.
