TRUSTEES'   REPORT. 


To  His  Excellency  the  Governor  and  the  Honorable  Council. 

The  trustees  of  the  Worcester  Insane  Hospital  herewith  re- 
spectfully submit  their  seventy-third  annual  report. 

It  would  seem  that  the  appended  reports  of  the  superintendent 
and  treasurer,  together  with  the  statistical  tables,  furnish  all 
the  information  concerning  the  institution  which  the  Revised 
Laws  require  or  expect  the  trustees  annually  to  submit,  and 
that  a  particular  statement  of  the  "  condition  of  the  hospital  and 
its  affairs  "  is  so  well  presented  therein  that  but  few  additional 
words  are  actually  needed  on  the  part  of  the  Board  by  way  of 
explanation  of  matters  more  particularly  deserving  of  notice. 

Again,  as  for  several  years  past,  the  average  number  of 
patients  is  increased;  this  year  by  23  over  that  of  the  year 
before,  giving  a  new  high  number,  namely,  1,242. 

We  are,  as  always,  and  as  are  all  similar  institutions  in  the 
State,  overcrowded,  with  beds  where  there  should  be  airing 
courts,  and  cots  in  the  corridors  at  night.  It  is  hoped  that  these 
conditions  are  not  always  to  prevail,  and  that  the  dangers  inci- 
dent to  such  over-plus  of  patients  will  eventually  be  relieved. 

The  hospital  work  has  gone  on  smoothly  and  without  inter- 
ruption. A  large  number  of  inmates  (some  300)  have  been 
usefully  employed  upon  the  grounds,  both  to  their  own  advan- 
tage and  to  that  of  the  hospital.  By  their  exertions,  much  work 
has  been  accomplished  that  could  not  have  been  profitably  under- 
taken had  we  been  obliged  to  depend  upon  hired  labor.  Land 
of   extraordinary   roughness   has   been   cleared   of   stones    and

stumps,  roads  laid  out,  underdrained  and  macadamized,  and 
land  brought  under  cultivation  that  has  long  been  of  no  profit 
to  the  State. 

The  electric  wiring  of  the  whole  building  is  now  practically 
completed,  and,  with  the  installation  of  a  few  further  fixtures, 
the  use  of  gas,  always  dangerous  in  such  an  institution,  will  be 
practically  abolished. 

The  changes  authorized  in  the  administration  building  are 
well  under  way,  and  when  completed  will  relieve  a  condition  of 
affairs  which  had  become  almost  unbearable. 

A  landmark  in  the  history  of  the  hospital  was  the  graduation 
of  the  first  class  from  its  training  school,  which  occurred  during 
the  past  summer.  On  August  the  first,  diplomas  were  presented 
to  21  nurses  by  the  chairman  of  the  Board  in  Sargent  Hall. 
Prayer  was  offered  by  Eev.  Eldridge  Mix,  and  an  address  deliv- 
ered by  Dr.  Edward  Cowles,  formerly  superintendent  of  the 
McLean  Hospital  at  Waverley.  Eive  of  the  class  remain  in  the 
hospital  service.  Many  will  take  post-graduate  courses  in  gen- 
eral hospitals,  and  will  thus  be  peculiarly  fitted  for  special  nurs- 
ing, or  to  fill  positions  of  trust  in  this  or  similar  institutions. 

Three  of  the  assistant  physicians  have  left  us  during  the  year : 
Dr.  M.  G.  Rowe,  to  take  up  private  practice  in  Denver ;  Dr.  E. 
M.  Eisher,  August  31,  to  accept  a  position  in  Morris  Plains; 
Dr.  Isador  H.  Coriat,  in  September,  to  enter  on  private  practice 
in  Boston.  Drs.  W.  C.  Haviland  and  Freeman  A.  Tower,  junior 
assistants,  were  appointed  to  fill  two  vacancies;  the  third  is  at 
present  unfilled. 

With  the  completion  of  the  pathological  building  this  im- 
portant department  of  the  hospital  work  will  be  properly  housed, 
and  the  present  temporary,  crowded  and  inconvenient  basement 
quarters  abandoned. 

Ten  years  ago,  in  their  sixty-third  annual  report,  the  trus- 
tees stated  that  it  had  been  a  source  of  reproach  to  the  lunatic 
hospitals  of  Massachusetts,  as  well  as  to  those  of  other  States, 
that  they  were  nothing  more  than  enormous  boarding  houses 
for  the  care  of  the  insane,  well-managed  boarding  houses,  it  is 
admitted,  but  accomplishing  little  for  the  advancement  of  medi- 
cal and  pathological  science.    The  reorganization  of  our  medical 


1905.]  PUBLIC   DOCUMENT  — No.  23.  9 

service,  which  took  place  that  same  year,  and  the  establishment 
of  a  laboratory  were  the  beginning  of  an  attempt  to  remove  the 
stigma  from  this  hospital,  at  least. 

The  system  of  having  internes  or  junior  assistants,  inau- 
gurated at  that  time,  is  still  maintained.  As  they  serve  but 
twelve  months,  an  opportunity  is  offered  a  large  number  of 
young  medical  men  to  study  nervous  diseases  on  both  the  prac- 
tical and  scientific  side,  while  the  hospital  has  always  been  able 
from  their  ranks  to  fill  vacancies  occurring  in  the  staff,  thus 
obtaining  men  whose  attainments  have  been  judged  during 
their  pupilage,  with  manifest  benefit  to  itself.  From  our  labo- 
ratory come  every  day  (so  the  superintendent  informs  us) 
answers  to  most  perplexing  questions;  so  that  in  the  treatment 
of  the  patients  more  benefit  to  them  is  often  obtained  from  this 
source  than  from  the  druggist  and  the  pharmacy.  It  is  the 
laboratory  work  that  largely  attracts  these  young  men,  from 
whose  number  not  only  our  own  ranks  are  kept  full,  but  who, 
as  graduates  of  this  training  school,  have  frequently  been  called 
to  positions  in  similar  institutions  in  this  and  other  States. 

Until  1902,  when  he  was  called  to  New  York  as  medical 
director  of  the  newly  formed  pathological  institute,  the  clinical 
and  pathological  work  was  done  under  the  supervision  of  Dr. 
Adolph  Meyer.  The  benefit  to  the  patients  of  the  more  careful 
study  that  could  thus  be  given  them  under  the  direction  of  one 
whose  time  was  not  taken  up  so  largely  by  administrative  work 
as  is  that  of  the  superintendent  of  a  large  hospital,  whose  1,500 
inmates  depend  upon  him  for  the  control  of  every  detail  of 
management,  became  so  manifest  that  since  the  resignation  of 
Dr.  Meyer  the  system,  with  its  extended  and  valued  records, 
has  been  continued. 

The  most  urgent  need  of  the  hospital,  at  present,  is  a  home 
for  male  nurses.  This  matter  has  been  presented  in  the  last 
two  annual  reports,  but  as  no  appropriation  was  granted  us  by 
the  Legislatures  of  1903  and  1904,  it  must,  of  necessity,  come 
up  again. 

The  building  of  a  home  for  female  nurses,  completed  two 
years  since,  removed  from  the  main  building  58  attendants,  and 
in  their  stead  we  have  113  additional  patients  to  care  for. 


10  WORCESTER  INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Oct. 

We  wish,  to  provide  a  building  for  80  men,  whose  places  in 
the  main  building  can  be  filled  by  at  least  as  many  additional 
patients. 

Much  dissatisfaction  must  be  expected  to  exist  among  the 
male  attendants,  until  they  are  as  well  provided  for  as  are 
those  of  the  opposite  sex,  and  a  corresponding  difficulty  in  ob- 
taining proper  persons  to  undertake  the  often  arduous  and 
disagreeable  work  of  caring  for  the  unfortunate  insane. 

The  establishment  of  a  home  and  a  training  school  for  women 
has  greatly  increased  the  efficiency  of  our  working  force.  The 
offer  of  instruction  in  a  profession  which  gives  them  a  chance 
for  lucrative  employment  when  their  hospital  life  ceases  has 
brought  us  an  increasingly  desirable  class  of  applicants.  Those 
without  fixed  purpose  are  kept  away  by  the  obligation  of  re- 
maining with  us  for  two  years,  and  an  esprit  de  corps  is  created 
by  their  association  in  class  room  and  lecture  hall  which  is  of 
infinite  value  to  patients  and  hospital  alike.  The  chance  for 
relief  from  the  sights  and  sounds  inseparable  from  an  institution 
for  the  insane,  at  meal  times  and  at  night,  brings  them  brighter 
and  fresher  to  their  work,  and  renders  them  more  efficient  care- 
takers of  those  committed  to  their  charge. 

We  expect  corresponding  benefits  from  the  establishment  of 
a  similar  home  for  the  men,  and,  as  the  number  of  men  willing 
to  engage  in  insane  hospital  work  is  always  much  smaller  than 
that  of  women,  the  need  and  the  expected  benefits  are  all  the 
•greater.     We  ask  for  an  appropriation  of  $55,000  for  the  work. 

After  the  preparation  of  plans  prepared  by  an  engineer, 
acceptable  to  the  State  Board  of  Health,  —  plans  later  approved 
by  that  board,  —  we  last  spring  asked  the  Legislature  for  an 
appropriation  for  the  construction  of  sewage  beds.  Similar 
beds  are  in  satisfactory  use  in  other  institutions,  can  be  cared 
for  in  a  proper  manner,  at  very  slight  annual  expense,  and  we 
consider  this  the  most  efficient  and  economical  way  of  abating 
whatever  nuisance  may  have  been  created  by  our  present  meth- 
ods. Eor  this  purpose  the  sum  of  $15,000  is  needed  and  asked 
for. 

The  trustees  wish  to  express  their  high  approval  of  the  work 
of  the  officers  of  the  institution.  Active,  efficient,  economical 
administration  is  the  watchword  of  the  superintendent,-  who, 


1905.]  PUBLIC  DOCUMENT  — No.  23.  11 

after  thirty-two  years  spent  in  this  and  its  sister  institution,  the 
Worcester  Insane  Asylum,  is  still  as  enthusiastic  as  ever  in  the 
service  of  the  State,  and  of  the  unfortunate  insane  committed 
to  his  care.  To  him  and  to  his  associates  may  safely  be  left 
the  task  to  further  advance  the  already  high  reputation  of  this 
hospital,  established  in  1832,  one  of  the  oldest  in  the  country. 
The  trustees  cannot  close  this  report  without  reference  to 
the  recent  death  of  Dr.  John  G.  Park,  who  from  1872  to  1890 
faithfully  served  this  hospital,  five  years  as  assistant  physician, 
twelve  years  as  superintendent.  The  trustees  of  1890  thus 
speak  of  him :  "  Of  great  executive  ability,  he  has  managed 
the  affairs  of  the  hospital  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  the  Board. 
Of  kindly  disposition,  great  gentleness  and  courtesy,  and  per- 
fect justness,  he  has  endeared  himself  to  all.  The  staff,  the 
employees,  the  patients  and  the  friends  of  the  patients  will  all 
miss  him."

12  WORCESTER  INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Oct. 


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  Sept.  30,  1905,  it  being  the  seventy- 
third  annual  report. 

There  remained  at  the  hospital  Oct.  1,  1905,  1,226  pa- 
tients, —  619  men  and  607  women.  During  the  year  571 
patients  —  307  men  and  264  women  —  were  admitted;  273 
patients  — 149  men  and  124  women  —  were  discharged;  162 
patients  — 101  men  and  61  women  (1  habitual  drunkard)  — 
died;  117  patients — 61  men  and  56  women  —  were  trans- 
ferred, and  43  patients  —  26  men  and  17  women  —  left  on 
visit  and  escape,  leaving  at  the  end  of  the  official  year  1,202 
patients,  —  589  men  and  613  women.  Of  this  number,  1,045 
were  supported  by  the  State,  1  by  town  (an  habitual  drunkard, 
woman)  and  156  by  friends.  Of  the  390  discharged  and 
transferred,  123,  including  6  habitual  drunkards  (women), 
were  reported  recovered,  52  much  improved,  59  improved  (1 
habitual  drunkard,  woman),  and  152  not  improved;  4  were 
discharged  not  insane.  Thirty  men  were  transferred  by  the 
State  Board  of  Insanity  to  the  Worcester  Insane  Asylum,  30 
women  to  the  State  Colony  at  Gardner,  26  men  to  the  Fox- 
borough  State  Hospital,  2  men  and  1  woman  to  the  Boston 
Insane  Hospital,  2  women  each  to  Tewksbury  and  Westborough, 
1  man  each  to  McLean  and  Northampton,  and  1  woman  each 
to  Baldwinville  Cottages  and  Herbert  Hall.  Twenty-three  men 
and  17  women  were  removed  from  the  State  and  17  women  and 
1  man  were  boarded  out. 

There  remained  at  the  end  of  the  year  28  patients  less  than 
at  the  beginning.  The  smallest  number  under  treatment  on 
any  one  day  was  1,180,  and  the  largest,  1,306.  The  daily 
average  number  was  1,242.76. 


1905.]  PUBLIC   DOCUMENT  — No.  23.  13 

The  percentage  of  recoveries,  calculated  upon  the  number 
of  discharges  and  deaths,  was  22.2 ;  calculated  upon  the  num- 
ber of  admissions  it  was  21.5. 

The  death  rate  was  9.5,  calculated  on  the  whole  number  of 
patients  under  treatment;  and  13.04,  calculated  on  the  daily 
average  number. 

The  clinical  work,  conducted  upon  the  basis  formerly  estab- 
lished, has  been  stimulated  by  interesting  and  instructive  staff 
meetings  for  the  study  of  unusual  cases  and  the  consideration 
of  literature.  The  medical  work  has  been  advanced  along  the 
line  of  non-restraint,  either  chemical  or  mechanical,  by  a  fuller 
use  of  hydrotherapy  and  by  agreeable  and  useful  occupation 
for  patients.  We  have  come  to  recognize  more  and  more  the 
physical  basis  of  insanity,  and  the  real  demands  for  nursing 
care  in  most  of  our  recent  cases  and  in  practically  all  excited 
ones.  These  demands  in  the  female  wards  have  been  well  met 
by  our  more  efficient  nursing  force. 

Our  training  school  for  nurses,  established  two  years  ago, 
is  in  successful  operation,  with  a  full  complement  of  pupil- 
nurses  and  a  respectable  waiting  list  from  which  to  draw  candi- 
dates. 

On  Aug.  1,  1905,  our  first  graduation  exercises  were  held, 
and  21  young  women  who  had  completed  the  required  school 
work  and  had  passed  the  final  examinations  were  awarded 
diplomas.  Practically  all  of  these  graduates  are  now  taking 
either  a  six  months'  post-graduate  course  in  a  general  or  special 
hospital,  or  they  are  planning  to  do  so  within  the  current  year. 
After  the  drill  here  and  the  special  work  in  other  institutions, 
these  young  women  should  be  well  fitted  for  the  duties  of  the 
nurse,  and  especially  qualified  to  fill  the  places  of  head  nurses 
and  supervisors  in  hospitals  of  this  character ;  and  it  is  hoped 
and  expected  that  a  certain  number  of  them  each  year  may  be 
induced,  by  an  advance  in  position  and  wages,  to  remain  in 
the  service  of  the  hospital. 

The  school  organization  and  the  training  have  raised  very 
perceptibly  the  standard  of  care  and  nursing  for  our  patients. 
They  have  enabled  us  to  secure  in  sufficient  numbers  a  higher 
grade  of  applicants,  and  have  contributed  not  a  little  to  the 
better  morale  of  the  institution.     These  improvements  in  per- 


14  WORCESTER  INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Oct. 

manency  and  grade  of  the  nursing  service,  together  with  much 
shorter  hours  for  the  nurses  and  cheerful  surroundings  to  which 
they  may  retire  when  not  upon  actual  duty,  have  been  made 
possible  by  the  home  for  female  nurses,  and  it  is  reasonable 
to  suppose  that  similar  advantages  would  accrue  were  a  home 
for  male  nurses  provided. 

The  laboratory  work  has  been  conducted  as  in  previous  years 
and  complete  post-mortem  examinations  made  in  every  case  which 
came  to  autopsy.  The  members  of  the  staff  have  shown  an 
active  interest  in  the  work  and  have  taken  advantage  of  the 
opportunities  to  familiarize  themselves  with  the  more  important 
methods  of  technique.  They  have  also  gained  much  from  the 
study  of  normal  and  pathological  specimens  of  the  nervous 
system.  It  has  been  the  aim  to  utilize  the  most  recent  methods 
of  technique  and  staining,  and  some  good  results  have  been 
obtained. 

During  the  year  many  interesting  and  instructive  cases  came 
to  autopsy.  Among  them  may  be  mentioned  two  brain  tumors, 
many  cases  of  subdural  hemorrhage,  one  case  each  of  lead 
encephalitis,  complete  transposition  of  the  viscera,  dextrocardia, 
and  one  of  rapid  carcinomatous  degeneration  of  a  dermoid  cyst. 
Some  valuable  neurological  material  sent  to  the  laboratory  by 
practising  physicians  has  been  studied.  Further  studies  on 
the  chemistry  of  the  nervous  system  were  carried  on  in  the 
chemical  laboratory,  as  were  also  the  necessary  examinations  in 
aid  of  the  clinical  diagnosis. 

During  the  year  Dr.  I.  H.  Coriat  published  an  article  in  the 
"  Journal  of  Comparative  Neurology  and  Psychology,"  Vol. 
15,  No.  2,  1905,  entitled  "  A  review  of  some  recent  literature 
on  the  chemistry  of  the  central  nervous  system ;  "  also  one  on 
"  The  production  of  cholin  from  lecithin  and  brain  tissue,  " 
"  American  Journal  of  Psychology,  "  Vol.  12,  December, 
1904.  In  addition  to  these  original  articles  he  has  reviewed 
the  current  psychiatrical  literature  for  the  "  American  Journal 
of  Psychology." 

Dr.  T.  A.  IToch  contributed  the  following  two  articles  to 
medical  literature :  "  Acute  anterior  poliomyelitis  in  a  youth," 
"  Journal  of  Nervous  and  Mental  Diseases,"  September  and 
October,  1905,  and  "  A  study  of  somatic  ideas  in  various 
psychoses,"  "  American  Journal  of  Insanity,"   October,   1905. 


1905.]  PUBLIC   DOCUMENT  — No.  23.  15 

The  systematic  effort  tliat  lias  been  made  to  find  employment 
for  our  inmates  has,  I  am  pleased  to  say,  met  with  a  large 
measure  of  success.  During  the  season  we  have  had  an  average 
of  300  men  at  work  outside  the  wards,  which  represents  the 
large  proportion  of  those  physically  and  mentally  fit.  Besides 
assisting  in  the  general  work  of  the  hospital,  and  in  our  garden 
and  about  the  grounds,  they  have  been  usefully  employed  in 
clearing  the  land  in  the  rear  of  the  hospital  and  at  our  Shrews- 
bury farm,  breaking  up  stones,  building  roads  and  drains  and 
excavating  for  our  new  buildings. 

With  the  wiring  of  our  wards  —  which  we  were  able  to  do 
during  the  summer  —  our  electric  light  plant  is  practically 
complete.  We  have  also  finished  the  extension  to  our  laundry 
and  installed  the  necessary  addition  of  machinery,  and  are  now 
in  a  position  to  meet  promptly  all  the  demands  of  this  impor- 
tant department,  a  thing  which  we  had  heretofore  found  impos- 
sible. 

I  would  again  urge  the  need  of  more  ample  and  better  accom- 
modations for  our  male  nurses.  As  was  pointed  out  in  my  last 
report  and  in  that  of  the  previous  year,  the  quarters  of  our 
male  nurses  have  long  been  inadequate.  The  original  design  of 
the  hospital  provided  for  a  relatively  small  number  of  attend- 
ants, and  made  little  or  no  provision  for  future  increase.  Since 
its  opening  the  capacity  of  the  hospital  has  been  more  than 
doubled,  and  at  the  same  time  our  ideas  as  to  proper  ratio 
between  the  number  of  patients  and  attendants  has  greatly 
increased.  Formerly  1  attendant  to  12  or  14  patients  was 
considered  ample,  but  with  our  present  standard  of  care  1  to 
10  is  found  none  too  many.  Formerly  there  were  but  2  night 
watches  on  either  side  to  safe-guard  the  house  and  its  inmates. 
"Now  we  have  regularly  24  persons  on  night  duty.  In  the  mean- 
time, no  provision  has  been  made  on  the  male  side  of  the  house 
for  additional  attendants,  and  we  have  been  obliged  to  resort 
to  all  sorts  of  makeshifts  to  provide  the  necessary  room  for 
them.  As  a  result,  our  male  night  watchmen  and  nurses  are 
lodged  in  rooms  designed  for  storage  purposes,  off  our  chapel 
gallery  and  directly  under  the  chapel  bell,  used  through  the  day 
as  a  call  bell  for  officers  and  employees. 

It  is  hardly  to  be  wondered  at  that  under  these  conditions 
they  complain  that  they  cannot  sleep  and  that  they  object  to 


16  WOECESTEE  INSANE   HOSPITAL.  [Oct. 

going  on  night  duty.  The  day  attendants  are  better  provided 
for  but  at  the  expense  of  the  patients  whose  rooms  they  occupy, 
and  who  as  a  consequence  are  crowded  out  and  obliged  to  put 
up  with  beds  upon  the  corridors. 

Another  change  which  is  demanded,  and  which  makes  an 
increased  number  of  attendants  and  increased  accommodations 
imperative,  is  the  lessening  of  their  hours  of  service.  In  the 
earlier  days  of  the  hospital  we  had  few  bed  patients  and  few 
paralytics  and  persons  needing  special  nursing.  Now,  how- 
ever, our  population  is  largely  made  up  of  these  classes,  and 
the  Avork  of  the  attendants  has  correspondingly  increased.  Un- 
der the  old  conditions  their  hours  were  long  but  their  work 
was  light,  and  they  had  frequent  opportunities  of  getting  out 
for  recreation  with  the  patients.  Now  their  duties  are  not  only 
more  exacting  but  are  continuous,  while  their  hours  remain  the 
same.  It  is  impossible,  however,  to  reduce  materially  their 
hours  of  service  without  increasing  our  force  or  leaving  the 
wards  insufficiently  supervised.  We  have  the  utmost  difficulty 
in  finding  satisfactory  male  nurses,  or  of  keeping  them  when 
found,  and  I  believe  that  these  proposed  changes  will  in  a 
large  measure  obviate  this  difficulty  and  attract  to  our  service 
a  more  intelligent,  efficient  and  stable  class  of  help ;  such,  at 
least,  has  been  our  experience  on  the  women's  side  of  the  house 
when  similar  changes  have  been  made. 

The  Legislature  of  last  year,  having  failed  to  make  an  appro- 
priation for  the  filter  beds  required  by  the  State  Board  of 
Health  for  the  disposal  of  our  sewage,  it  will  be  necessary  to 
renew  our  request  the  coming  year. 

The  current  expenses,  less  the  amount  received  from  articles 
sold,  have  been  $268,513.89;  dividing  this  by  1,242.76,  the 
daily  average  number  of  patients,  gives  $216.06  as  the  annual 
cost  of  support,  which  is  equivalent  to  a  weekly  cost  of  $4.15. 

We  wish  to  thank  the  proprietors  of  the  "  Worcester  Evening 
Gazette "  and  the  "  Eitchburg  Sentinel "  for  copies  of  their 
papers,  and  the  Worcester  Employment  Society  for  sewing.
