STATE BOARD OF CONTROL
Hon. James 0. Davidson,
Governor of Wiscooisin,
Executive Chamber.
Governor: The State Board of Control of charitable, re-
formatory and penal institutions, herewith, respectfully submits
its eighth biennial report, covering the biennial period ending
June 30th, 1908.
The period covered by this report has been one of unusual
activity because of the steady growth of most of the institu-
tions and because many new problems connected with the
changes and improvements, provided for by the special appro-
priations made by the legislature of 1907, had to 'be carefully
considered and solved.
The increase in the number of inmates is shown in a general
way by the following table :

Northern Hospital
School for the Deaf

The table, however, does not fully disclose the growth in
the different classej shown. In the case of the hospitals for
the insane there is in addition to the increase of population
shown by the table an increase in the number of commitments
and those returned for retreatment averaging nearly thirty-two
per year or a total addition of sixty-four for' the period. The
effects of this is seen in the shortened average residence of
patients at the hospitals which has now been reduced to one
year, too short a period for the best results.
In thQ case of the Industrial School for boys there has been
a rapid increase, coming shortly before and after the expira-
tion of the biennial period, which carried the number to the
highest ever reached and a long way beyond the capacity of the
institution. In addition paroles have been increased in number
so that the average population statement does not properly show
the full increase. The actual increase thus accounted for is
Approximately sixty- eight. Necessity has compelled the parol-
ing of these boys too rapidly for their own good.
At the State Pri:on the parole law has been in operation for
nearly a year and thirty- one prisoners have been released before
the expiration of their sentences, thus diminishing by a part of
that number the increase of that class as reported.
At tho State Public School, notwithstanding an additional
agent was appointed in order to keep the population as nearly
normal as posnble, and notwithstanding the utmost, efforts of
the three agents, there has been a steady increase in the popu-
lation since the expiraticn of the biennial period.
At the Home for the Feeble Minded many feeble m.inded
people, otherwise eligible, were of necessity refused admittance
for lack of room. Of these, twenty-eight were under the pro-
visions of chapter 507, laws of 1907, transferred by order of
this board to county asylums, placing the .burden of maintain-
ing them, in. part, on the state. There are now one hundred
sixty- five feeble minded people in the county asylums for the in-
sane. The completion of the three new buildings has increased
tlie eai)acity of the institution to somew^hat over one thousaud.
At tlie Reformatory three times during the period it was nec-
essary to notify the judges that no prisoners could be received.
Eeport of the State Board of Control. 3
General Report.
At the Sanatorium at Wales, now practically filled to its
limit, statistics show the entire increase of inmates at the in-
stitution hut no statistics are at hand showing with certainty
the number of cases of this disf .sase in the state. The State
Board of Health, however, states that there are not less than
eight thousand cases, and probably ten thousand, in this state.
It is probable that there i.s om^ such case to every two hundred
and fifty of the population.
The beneficiaries of the Workshop for the Blind are listed
here for the first time.
It is safe to estimate the real increase in the number of in-
mates of institutions to December 1st, 1908, exclusive of the
Tuberculosis Sanatorium, as four hundred. In addition to this
three hundred additional inmates to the Home for Feeble
Minded will be admited in March and April, 1909, making a
total increase to be provided for during the next biennial period
of seven hundred inmates or almost exactly twenty per cent.
The legislature of 1907 provided in liberal spirit for much
needed and delayed improvements at the state institutions.
The preparation of detailed plans for carrying out these im-
provements, the letting of contracts for buildings, for mater-
ials, for machinery and appliances, the consideration and de-
termination of the large number and variety of matters involved,
the constant inspection of the work as it progressed, and the
final adjustment of contracts and bills for materials, all con-
nected with the unusual number and variety of improvements
greatly swelled the volume of business of the office and increased
the necessary visits of the Board to the state institutions. Most
of the improvements undertaken have been successfully com-
pleted and their use furnishes great relief.
It must be remembered, however, that previous legislatures
had put off, time and again, much needed increase of accommo-
dations and other improvements. Former Boards have called
attention to the necessity for a home for epileptics. The need
for such an institution is greater than ever. The segregation
of these people in a village by themselves, to remove the harm-
ful influence of their presence in normal society, to teach and
develop them industrially as far as possible, but most of all
4: Report of the State Board of Control.

to prevent their procreation is a great and pressing need.
These people form the most harmful and the most dangerous
class of defectives, yet the state has so far made only very par-
tial provision for their segregation and care in the Home for the
Feeble Minded and at the State Hospitals and Asylums Jor the
Insane. From these institutions they should, as far as possible,
be removed to a special institution or village for epileptics alone.
We deem it our duty to further call your attention to the
situation regarding the feeble minded. Attempt has been made
during the past year to secure a census of the defectives of
the state. Blanks containing queries regarding the number,
conditions, parentage, etc., of the .defectives were sent to every
institution, every town clerk and every doctor, in the state.
Much difficulty was experienced in getting returns.' The re-
turns received, however, intelligently studied, show the exist-
ence of at least three thousand of these defectives, at least two
thousand of them not cared for in institutions. Of this number
three hundred will be cared for soon at the Home for the Feeble
Minded in- the new buildings now nearly completed.
It is clear that if all this class could be segregated and cared
for until past the age of procreation, a great deal of suffering and
sorrow could be saved to the people of the state and the growth
of this burden on the community could be checked. It is
earnestly recommended that steps be taken by this legislature
to locate and begin the construction of an additional home for
the feeble minded somewhere in the south-eastern part of the
state.
In previous biennial reports your attention has been called
to the necessity of securing additional land at several of the
state institutions. At the State Hospitals, at the School for
the Deaf, the Industrial School for Boys, the State Prison, the
State Public School, and the Reformatory, there is needed ap-
proximately one thousand acres distributed as shown below.
The institutions now have grounds and. farms as follow:

The experience of the board in acquiring additional land for
the state reformatory clearly points out that the method of
having special appropriations for the addition of land to a
particular institution, is not one well calculated to secure for
the state the additional land needed, at moderate prices. It
would seem that the interest of the state would best be sub-
served by placing in the hands of the board of control a fund
for the purpose of acquiring real estate at those institutions
where additional acreage is needed for their economical man-
agement, and to furnish out-of-door employment for the pa-
tients.
For that purpose we recommend that there shall be appro-
priated the sum of ten thousand doUaj's for eacli year of the
next ten years and that the terms of the appropriation author-
ize the making of land contracts. This would leave it in the
hands of the board of control to acquire the necessary real es-
tate at such times as it is to be had for a reasonable price. This
experiment wa^ very successfully tried in ]\Iinnesota along the
lines suggested here but with a larger appropriation.
State Hospital.
At the State Hospital for the Insane the improvements pro-
vided for by the last legislature have, in a large measure, been
carried out as will be clearly understood by reading the report
of the superintendent.
G Eepobt of the State Boaed of Control.
General Report.
An appropriation was made by the last legislature for re-
building the chimney stack of the power house. A careful
examination of the conditions at the power house, and its re-
lation to the buildings for which it supplies power and heat,
makes it clear that it would be most desirable to make a com-
plete change in the power house arrangements. The present
power house provides for the steam and electrical power units
required for heating and lighting and for the heating of the
domestic hot water supply and the pumping of the domestic
cold water supply. Under the same roof there is provided also
the laundry, a mattress factory, a carpenter shop and a me-
chanical repair shop. The building is rambling, is old and is
ill-adapted to the purposes for which it was built piecemeal,
most of it fifty years ago. The boiler room is so low that it
is impossible to keep it properly ventilated and a fit place to
work in in summer. As a result it is very difficult to keep fire-
men, the oppressive heat making their work, at times, really
dangerous. The shed for the storage of coal, adjoining the
boiler plant, is in a very dilapidated condition. The chimney
stack is very badly cracked, as before reported, and its con-
tinued use seems to us to be dangerous. To put this plant in
good working order would require the expenditure of approxi-
mately sixteen thousand dollars, and it would not then be a
good economical modern plant.
The position of the plant, nearly in front of the institution,
is an objectionable feature, and it 5 site is needed for other pur-
poses. The entire plant should be gradually replaced by a
new one placed in the rear of the hospital, the new chimney
should be at least two hundred feet in height, and the laundry
and shops should also be retired to. the rear of the building and
placed in simple and inexpensive buildings closely adjoining the
power houj:e. There is ample room for placing these subsidiary
buildings in that position. We, therefore, recommend that as
a preliminary to the general building plan, elsewhere proposed,
a new power plant be constructed in the rear of the present
building, just behind the water tower, and recommend an ap-
propriation of thirty thousand dollars for this purpose. Much
of the work can be done by the inmates.

The increased population of this hospital, amounting to
nearly forty per cent in the last three years, has made it neces-
sary that additions be made to the herd cf cows to increase the
milk supply. The present cow barn is badly arranged and in-
adequate in size for the purpose. In like manner the stable
for horses is inadequate for the purpo:^e and in a bad state of
repair and must be, in a large measure, reconstructed.
For these purposes there is recommended an appropriation
of six thousand dollars.
Northern Hospital.
At the Northern Hospital for the Insane there w^as provided
a fund for the fireproofing of the powder house and the improve-
ment of the boiler plant. This work is only partly completed.
During the summer of 1907 it became evident that the large
barns grouped southeast of the main building were in bad con-
dition and a careful examination showed them to be very un-
safe, indeed their erudition was found to be so dangerous as to
compel prompt reconstruction.
The cow barn was reconstructed on its site, and the inple-
ment sheds, horse barn, barn for yorng strc'c and two store
houses, were first moved frcm their too elof:e pioximity to the
main building and gradually reconstructed in a new group so
as to form a sheltered yard for stock. They were all founded
on concrete w^alls and fitted with concrete sills and flc.ors and
rearranged and refitted to secure the greatest advantage from
the space. Thii w^ork is still in progr.^ss but nearing comple-
tion. It has been performed by the regular repair employes,
carpenter, mason and painter, of the institution, a>i^ted by the
patients, and its additional cost is restricted to little more than
the cost of the material^, used in con -t ruction.
The cow barn and horse barns are now modi^ls of their kind
and the remodeling of the other buildings has given largely in-
creased capacity for growing stock juid a model brood house
for the poultry. The cost of thi:; e:iieigeney v>(:rk luis been
slightly in excesj of six thousand dollars.

tention to the bad condition of the floors of this institution.
The main entrance hall has been rt^floored with title, the wood
floor having been badly and irregularly worn.
The floors of a considerable number of the smaller rooms have
been relaid with hard maple but there remains a great deal of
flooring which should be renewed during the coming year.
Owing to its proximity to the State Prison, and also to its
larger capacity in an earlier day, the care of the criminal in-
sane for the two state hospital districts has fallen on this hos-
pital. They are, of necessity, kept in one of the regular wards,
not properly planned for their custody and not at all secure,
and must mingle more or le ^s with the other patients. It is
hoped that proper provision will be made by this legislature
for the separation of this class of patients from the others and
for greater security in their care.
The commitments to the two state hospitals for the acute in-
sane have increased during the last biennial period so that now
with the number returned to the hospitals for retreatment, and
the still "smaller number recommitted from the countv asvlums,
for special treatment, almost equals the capacity of the institu-
tions. It results, therefore, that the average residence of the
inmates of the hospitals for the insane is reduced to about one
year, making it necessary for the superintendents, often, to
recommend people for transfer to county asylums ])efore, in
their best judgment, they ought to be transferred. There are
but two ways to meet this situation ; one to provide a new hos-
pital for the insane; the other to enlarge the present hospitals.
Both superintendents of the state hospitals and the State
Board of Control have given this subject very careful consider-
ation for some years past because it was clearly seen that these
conditions would socm be reached.
In determining which of these two courses is l)est it is clear
that the governing condition is the determination a-; to what is
the best size for a hospital for the insane, for the ])eneflt of thCi
patients, and from the standpoint of economy in management.
Much thought and much study has been expended upon this
problem here and in many other states. We believe that the

host judorinent of exports suggests that a hospital having? one
thousand to twelve hundred inmates is of size to best fulfill all
of thes(» conditions. AVe, therefore, believe that it would be wise
to develop the present hospitals for the insane by the addition
of eottap^e^ for special purposes until they provide for one
thousand or more inmates. Fx)r this purpose there should be
built at each of the two state hospitals:
Cottage for male ward for convalescent, capacity sixty.
Cottat»:e for female ward for convalescent, capacity forty-five.
Cottage for violent male patients, capacity forty.
Cotta^jje for violent female patients, capacity forty.
Cottafifc^ for farm w^orkers, capacity sixty.
Pavilion for the treatment of the female tubercular insane,
capacity thirty.
Pavilion for the treatment of the male tubercular insane,
capacity thirty.
A modern receiving ward or psychopathic hospital for the
reception, treatment and observation of new cases, arrano:ed for
both sexes, capacity one hundred.
These additions will brint; the capacity of each of these in-
stitutions up to something over one thousand patients.
There is one other matter which needs careful attention. Ex-
cept for their half day leave once each wet'k the attendants have
almost no opportunity to get away from the surroundings of
their work during any twenty- four hours. Their work requires
long hours on duty and the dealing with people who are often
excc^edingly trying and vexatious. This constant strain on mind
and body, with no really complete relief, is more than human
temper can stand and remain sweet. It is universally rec-
ognized at hospitals for the insane to be extremely desirable that
quarters for attendants shall be away from the main buildings
and separated from the field of their duty. In most of the
better hospitals for the insane in the country such quarters
have been provided. It is believed that tio one thing which the
state could do would go farther to bc^tter the condition of the
patients, by bettering the cpiality of the service they receive
from the attendants, than to provide such outside quarters. It
is, therefore, suggested that cottages for the living quarters of
10 Report op the State Board of Control.
General Report,
help be built at each of the hospitals for the insane in addition
to the buildin^^s listed above. These will slightly increase the
capacity of the present main buildings by vacating the rooms
for the attendants on the wards.
If the additional room which will shortly be required should
be furnished by the building of- a new institution that institu-
tion would be built along modern lines, on the cottage plan,
but would require a large lump-sum appropriation and would
put off indefinitely the modernizing of the present institutions.
By adopting the plan of adding cottages to the two present
institutions they can gradually be modernized and no large
sum of mcney will be required in any one appropriation period.
A careful study of the statistics of the insane for the entire
state, omitting Mihvaukee county, discloses that the average
increase of cases committed and returned for treatment during
the last seventeen years has been thirty-one per year. It is
further disclosed that the rate of increase at the present time
is nearly thrity-three per voar.
The state hospitals should provide for an average residence
of not less than fifteen or sixteen months. There must then be
provided, to secure these condition 5, additional accommodations
for forty- four patients each year or eighty-eight patients during
each biennial period.
A cottage erected at each hospital during each successive bi-
ennial appropriation period would just provide for this growth.
To secure that the average residence of patients at the hos-
pitals shall be sixteen months, there is needed at once provision
for housing about three hundred patients.
If provision is made for the addition of the buildings sug-
gested for homes for attendants during the next two years, and
an additional cottage at each hospital during each succeeding
two years for a period of sixteen years, it is reasonably certain
that the present condition of a too shortened period of residence
will not again be reached before the expiration of an additional
ten years, or twenty-six years from the present time, at which
time it will become desirable to begin the construction of a new
hospital for the insane, This estimate is based on the assump-
Report of the State Board qf Control. 11
General Report.
tion that there will be no great change in the present rate of
increase.
It seems to this Board, therefore, that it would be a wise plan
for the state to adopt a regular program of construction to
cover a period of sixteen years, during which these buildings
should be built and added to each of these two hospitals. It is
quite clear that they will be needed within that time.
It is estimated that the cost of these buildings together with
the equipment and added power required would be approxi-
mately a total of $400,000.00 at each institution. It i? clear
that this investment will postpone the necessity of establishing
a new hospital for the insane for a period of not less than
twenty years. In addition to this it will give to each of the
two hospitals now established an opportunity to greatly better
their classification and to readjust the management of the hos-
pitals, their methods, conveniences and treatment to thoroughly
'modern lines. It will have the further advantage that because
of the increased numbers more can be dene for the patients
without increasing the per capita cost or, that becau::eof the
increased number, the per capita cost can be decreased without
detriment to the care and treatment of the patients.
At both hospitals for the insane there has been, until very
recently, very great difficulty in securing? the proper help. In-
deed, at one time it was with the greatest difficulty that suf-
ficient help was obtained to run the institutions. This condi-
tion has forced the gradual raising of the salaries of the at-
tendants and others to fully twenty per cent higher than five
years ago. Even these salary raises did not produce the de-
sired effect until well after the financial crisis of 1907. Since
then conditions have been somewhat easier, but it has, neverthe-
less, often been difficult to keep the force of attendants filled
with good people.
A study of the statistics will show you that during the past
two years the attendants have not averaged a residence at these
institutions of much more than four months.
In order that these institutions may be enabled to secure and
hold good attendants it is evident that their life and surround-
ings need to be made more attractive, in part by better separate

General Keport,
quarters as proposed elsewhere, and it may be that the pay will
have to be further increased. ' It is only by having first-class
attendants, well trained and reasonably permanent in .their
positions, that good care of the patients can be secured.
At the State Hospital, a re<?rading of attendants made last
year holds out to the ambitious attt^ndant more steps of possible
promotion, and more public recognition of meritorious service.
Some real improvement in service seems to have resulted.
School for the Deaf.
The past two years have been fruitful in many ways of real
betterment in in itruction and administration at the School for
the Deaf under its present able and thoughful management. A
fine spirit seems to exist among scholars and teachers which
contributes largely to the undoubted success of the school.
During the pre:5ent appropriation period a high school de-
partment has been established. This will make possible a much
better training of the scholars and provide such instruction as
h necessary, if they wish to continue their education in the
colleges for the deaf. There is no dou})t that this increase in
the course of study will yield valuable results in the training
of these children for successful citizeneship.
The legislature of 1907, made for this institution its first im-
portant appropriation in many years for improvements and ad-
ditions, providing for a new dormitory building for young
women, a new industrial building and a new combination bam.
Owing to the crowding together of the buildings on the limited
area suited for building site, the adjustment of the new build-
ings in convenient relation to those already built, proved a
difficult problem. It was finally solved by building the indus-
trial building large enough to accommodate the manual train-
ing, as well as the industries, and planning to use the manual
training bliilding, remodeled, as a part of the dormitory for
young women.
This compelled the building of the industrial building first
in order that the regular work of instruction in manual training
should not bo interrupted.
Report op the State Board of Control. 13
General Report,
I I ■ I I- -■ r ---■ r
The barn and the new industrial building are completed,
partly equipped and in use. The young women's dormitory
is completed as to the new part but the funds are not sufficient
to remodel the former manual training building, and an addi-
tional appropriation should be made to cover this work. If
made reasonably early it will enable thi^ important building to
be put in use for the school year of 1909-10.
The report of the superintendent shows clearly a necessity
for enlarged accommodations in the school department, a real
serious need of an additional school building, equal in size and
facilities to that at present in use.
The institution has a well equipped and well managed print-
ing shop. If the space adjoining the shop, now in temporary
use for school work and not well adapted for the purpose, can
be set free, an enlargement of the shop can be made, which
would enable it to handle a greatly increased amount of work,
much to the advantage of the school.
The printing of blanks for the state institutions, of special
reports, of the biennial report of the State Board of Control,
of books of rules for the various institutions, and other similar
work, could be undertaken here very successfully and to the
very considerable advantage of the students, of the work of the
Board of Control, and of the institutions.
This matter is brought to your attention in the hope that
some "way can be found to allow this to be done.
The institution pumps its own water from a deep well on the
grounds. The water storage for fire protection purposes con-
sists of a small tank in the attic of the main building. It is en-
tirely inadequate for this large group of buildings. There
should be a larger storage tank of not less than 30,000 gallons
capacity, with its bottom 100 feet from the ground level. It is
earnestly recommended that an appropriation of six thousand
dollars be made for this purpose.
The chapel in which daily exercises are held is in a bad state
of repair. Much plaster has' fallen from the ceiling, and it and
the walls are .badly discolored. An entire new ceiling and new
decorations are necessary. An appropriation for this purpose
of $1,300.00 is recommended.
14 Report of the State Board of Control.
General Eeport.
For an additional boiler and room to house it in, necessary
to make the plant capable of heating the enlarged group of
buildings, there is recommended an appropriation of three thou-
sand dollars ($3,000.00).
Other necessary items of improvement and equipment are:
Extension to coal shed $3,500.00
Drainage of pasture 600.00
Additional forges in blacksmith shop 400.00
School for the Blind.
The population of this institution remains practically con-
stant. The care and skill with which its affairs are conducted
and the high quality of instruction secured for the pupils is
every way creditable to the superintendent, matron and teach-
ers.
The institution can readily care for and educate thirty to
forty more scholars without crowding and with very little ad-
ditional expense. There is no doubt that there are that many
blind or partially blind in the state who are in need of instruc-
tion and are not getting it.
It is of more moment to the blind, bereft of their sense of
sight, and thus peculiarly helpless, that they have their other
senses and faculties thoroughly developed and that they be
trained in as many ways as possible, so that they may become
self-supporting and otherwise fitted for citizenship.
Every effort is therefore being made to bring all blind per-
sons and their parents to a knowledge of the school and its ad-
vantages.
The serious interference with the success of the school year,
caused twice in recent years, by the occurrence of contagious
disease, suggests the necessity and importance of a small hos-
pital suitable for segregation and treatment of such cases. It
is recommended that an appropriation of three thousand dollars
be made for that purpose.
There is pressing need for a new gnind piano and for samples
of the piano players now so generally used, to be utilized in in-
struction in tuning, and of some additional pianos for practice

classes.. For this purpose an appropriation of fifteen hundred
dollars is recommended.
The roof of the industrial building requires prompt renewal.
This will cost six hundred dollars.
The porches in ^ front of the building were built in part of
east iron and in part in imitation. These latter parts are so
badly rotted as to render the porches dangerous and required
prompt repair which should be made in metal in the interest of
permanency. Some of the porch floors will also require re-
newal. The total expense will be approximately twelve hun-
dred dollars.
Renewal of part of the laundry machinery is absolutely nec-
essary, after many years of use, at an expense of approximately
one thousand dollars.
No additions have for a long time been made to the library.
This library is for the use of all the blind in the state and is
constantly 'in circulation and is badly worn out. An appropri-
ation of five hundred dollars is badly needed for the purpose of
additions and renewals.
There is being installedl at this time a complete plant for
water supply. As scon as put in commission it will replace
entirely the city water supply, and save an annual tax for water
of between seven and eight hundred dollars at an annual ex^
pense of approximately one quarter that amount.
The new music building, arranged to provide rooms for all
piano practice for class work and for instruction in piano tuning,
is nearly completed and will soon be placed in use. It will be
a great relief for all in the main building to have the noise re-
sulting from this work removed to apartments properly deadened
to protect those practicing from confusion arising from the
spread of the noise to fellow pupils and leave the atmosphere of
the main building more conducive to study and rest.
A handsome swimming bath 30'x40' has been placed in the
basement of the new building and fitted with shower baths,
douches, etc., for the use of both the boy3 and girls. It will be
a valuable addition to the facilities of the school.

iNDrsTRiATj SciiooIj Fo:i Boys.
/
In the Buinmer of 1907, the superintendent of this institution
called the attention of tliis board to the eritieal eondition of
cottage Xo. 7. Careful examination sliowed that the building,
an ancient one of wood construction and a most necessary one
in the conduct of the institution, must either receive extensive
repairs or be adandoned. Further ciTnsi deration showed clearly
that no reasonable repairs would render the building fit for its
use and furnish decent living quarters for the otBcers. The
board, therefore, replaced the l)uikling by a new one of prac-
tically the same sfze, substantially con >tructed and thoroughly
w^ell arranged and fitted up for its special uses. The labor of
the inmates was utilized to a considerable extent in jLhe con-
struction, thus furnishing the means of instruction and train-
ing and greatly diminishing the cost of the building.
For many vears the number of commitments to this institu-
tion has been so large in proportion to the number it can ac-
commodate that it has been necessary to. limit the residence of
the inmates in the institution to about fifteen months. The
shortness of this term of residence is very detrimental to the
work of reformation and instruction which the institution is
intended to and should perform. One direct result is that many
boys are compelled to leave the institution, having carried their
school w^ork cnly through tlie fourth grade. As another result
the boys leave the institution at such an early age that the teach-
ing of trades becomes a practical impossibility, only some ele-
mentary sloyd, car[)enter and blacksmithing work can be at-
tempted and none can be trained to be thorough artisans. Since
this school was established not to punish the boys but as a means
of training them to become useful and productive citizens and
to give them another chance, it is believed to be unfair to prac-
tically prevent their recinving a eonimon school education, and
to place them out on farms and other ])]aees of employment at
such at early age as lo ])raetieally ])r(^v(Mit tlieir h^arning a
trade, thus com])t'lliiig Wwm to be, all their lives, eomnioii labor-
ers. It is believed that the object of this school in making good
citizens of these boys can be accomplished very much better if

it is given increased facilitieji, increased capacity, and that no
investment the state can make will be more productive of good
than this would secure. Each boy should be kept in the in-
stitution until he has passed through the eight common school
grades, if he is capable of receiving and benefiting by the in-
struction, and this instruction should be supplemented, where-
ever capacity is shown, by thorough instruction in a trade.
The original plans of this institution provided a group of
residence cottages placed close together and close to the admin-
istration building, provided with a common play ground, a
common school house and connnon heating facilities. The plan
is defective in that it does not allow separate instruction, and
separate play grounds, for the smaller boys.
During the past season there ha 3 been a very unusually large
number of commitments to this institution and this, * with the
difficulty of finding places for the boys, has increased the pop-
ulation to three hundred and seventy at times, while there is
proper provision made in the buildings for only three hundred
twenty. It is necessary, therefore, to provide, at once, addi-
tional cottages.
Through the liberality of the last legislature there has been
added to the grounds of the institution a tract of land lying
east of and in line with the group of buildings. By using this
tract for the building of additional cottages for smaller boys
it will be possible to segregate them from the larger boys, pro-
vide them with independent play grounds and give to each
cottage an individual garden. As soon as it is possible there
should be added four cottages having a capacity of from forty
to fifty boys each and a separate school for the younger boys.
Such cottages will cost $20,000 each to build and equip. A
proper school building and its equipment will cost twenty-five
thousand dollars.
There should also be added a machine shop where advanced
instruction can be given to such of the boys as show an aptitude
for this class of work, and it is desirable that this be so planned
that it can bo added to from time to time to provide for in-
struction in a number of additional trades.

The whole school should be developed in an intelligent and
rational way in order to become an industrial school really as
well as in name.
The last legislature also made a special appropriation for coal
shed, a cow barn and a printing office. The coal shed has been
built at a cost of $4,800.00 leaving an unexpended balance of
$3,000.00. Plans have been prepared for the cow barn but it
is evident that it will cost not less than $6,000.00.
Concrete blocks for this structure have been made by the boys
during the past season.
There should be appropriated for the purpose of completing
this barn $3,000.00 in addition to the present fund and for the
purpose of establishing the printing office $2,500.00.
It is desired to reconstruct the present cow barn a^ a horse
barn and to remodel the present horse barn, a substantial con-
struction of stone, into a first-class blacksmith and sheet metal
work shop for practical u-e and use in instruction. The re-
modeling of this building and the fitting out of the shop would
cost $4,000.00. The building and equipping of a suitable ma-
chine shop for metal work is needed and fitting it with the
proper machinery and tools would cost $12,000.00. A consider-
able diminution in the fire risk and improvement in convenience
and arrangement can be had by moving to one side two of the
small, barns now used for storage purposes and placing them
on new foundations and this is recommended. This will cost
$1,000.
The ventilation of the bovs' cottages is entirelv insufficient.
It is recommended that $3,000.00 be appropriated for the pur-
pose of installing a ventilating system, which can now be done
economically by use of the tunnel, recently constructed.
State Prison.
The State Prison under its present able management has made
an excellent record of economy in management, and creditable
results on its productive side. It \va^ steadily improved along
lines of humane treatment and refornwation and excellent dis-
cipline has been maintained.
Report of the State Board of Control. 19
General Report.
No single agency has been productive of so much good to the
discipline of the prison, and to the prisoners, as the parole law
passed by the legislature of 1907. This law enables prisoners
who have a good record, and for whom employment can be se-
secured, to be paroled out in such manner that they secure a
foothold and a place in their community, living under the super-
vision of the prison authorities, and reporting to them, for a
period of rather more than a year before final discharge. Up
to the present time one hundred and nine applications for parole
have been considered by this board, acting as a parole board,
fifty- seven paroles have been granted and fifty- two denied. Of
the prisoners so released thirty- one have served out their time
honorably on parole and received their final discharge, twenty-
two are still serving and reporting, and four have violated their
paroles. One of these parole violators has been returned to the
prison. The others escaped from the state.
Members of this board are personally familiar with the cases
of many of these men, and are able to say without reservation
that this system of paroling prisoners has been most beneficial
to them, their communities and the state, by assisting them to
become reestablished and self-supporting. Since such paroles
are all earned by the prisoners, the fact that a mail is a paroled
prisoner constitutes a strong recommendation of his character
and industry and helps to reestablish him in the confidence of
the community. Basing its action on its own experience and
that of prison boards in other states this board recommends a
further extension of the law by which the parole privilege can
be extended to all classes of prisoners as it is in Ohio and other
states.
In addition to the good results to the prisoners, the relief of
the overcrowded prison by the paroling of these prisoners has
been great. Without such relief the crowding of the prison
for the last year would have been very near unbearable.
The new cell wing with two hundred additicnal cell& is now
rapidly approaching completion. For a long time from forty
to seventy prisoners have slept on cots in the corridors of one
of the old wings, thus increasing largely the risk of escapes, and
making necessary additional watchfulness and supervision.
20 Report of the State Board of Control.
Oencral Report.
The contrast between the roomy, light and sanitary modem
cells of this new cell house, with its simple but convenient door
locking device, its sanitary plumbing, utility corridor, spacious
outer corridors and gocd ventilation, and the dark, gloomy,
small and necessarily unsanitary cells of the old cell wings,
without J)lumbing and with the air poisoned by use of soil buck-
ets, is very great. These old cells are still' in use, not because
their defects have not been long recognized, but because hitherto
all methods of replacing them by really sanitary cells have
proved prohibitive in expense.
In designing the cell construction of this new wing great care
was exercised. By use of concrete and twisted steel bars, a con-
struction both very strong and very secure as w^ell as sanitary
has been secured. The work has been visited by many experts
during construction and since its completion, and has been
highly commended by all.
Its cost including the building complete ha^ been somewhat
over $350.00 per cell ; for cell block alone somewhat under $300.00
per cell. While this cell wdng is but half filled it will be pos-
sible to reconstruct the cell blocks of the old cell wings. Later
when the new" cell wing is full the difficulty of housing and
caring for the prisoners during reconstruction would be vastly
increased. Moreover the prison now has a well organized and
experienced gang of cement workers among the convicts, well
fitted to carry out this work. It is therefore hoped that the
legislature will see fit to provide for this necessary work at
once. The estimated cost for the two hundred eighty-four cells
in either cell wing is $70,000.00. To carry through this work in
either cell house will take two years. It will be necessary to
take down and rebuild one-half of the cells in one cell wing
each year. If this work is started at once but forty to fifty
men would be required to sleep in the corridors during the re-
construction. If this work should be delayed until the prison
population has increased fifty men or more the number to be
k(»[)t outside of cells will uuike tho^ operation very risky.
The six hundred fiity-five prisoners in the institution June
30th, 1908, were occupied as follow^s:

The most important changes and improvements of the past
biennial period have been:
The completion of a double gate. This is a structure in form
somewhat like a canal lock through which to admit the coal and
other railroad cars which bring and take away the heavy freight
of the institution. This wa^ very successfully constructed of
concrete by the inmates and answers its purpose admirably.
The construction of an underground coal shed and a turn-
table : »
By means of the turntable coal cars are turned and landed
upon a track running over the roof of the coal shed. The labor
of unloading coal cars is reduced to less than one quarter what
w^as formerly required. The cars are now handled rapidly and
charges for demurrage are entirely avoided. The coal being
now stored in this shed immediately adjoining the boiler house
requires the services cf three less men to deliver it to the stokers
and the labor thus saved is diverted to active production in the
shops.
The completion of the remodeling of the administration por-
tion of the prison.
These repairs and remodeling were radical in their character.
The chapel in the third floor had long been too small. It oc-
cupied three-fifths of the third floor of this center portion. The
quarters occupied by the officers were unsanitary and wholly
lacking comforts and conveniences. By supporting the roof on
steel trusses resting wholly on the outer walls and removing
two heavy stone division walls and some minor brick walls, all
this space was thrown into one large room. This was floored
with reinforced concrete, arranged in amphitheatre plan and
fitted wdth a gallery. This room has now been completed and

occupied more than six months and constitutes a very hand-
some audience room for chapel, lecture and school purposes,
with excellent acoustic properties. Fire proof stairways form
the approach to the hall, and a thorough system of ventilation
has been installed. The entire second story has also been re-
modelled and eleven single and double rooms for officers' quarters
as well as sitting rooms, bath and toilet rooms, all modem and
sanitary, have been completed and placed in use.
The building of the new cell wing.
This building was begun in the summer of 1906, and the
walls were completed during the following winter. Work on
the cell block was begun in July of 1907, and continued unin-
terruptedly to the present time.
The foundations and concrete wall to window height were
constructed by the inmates under the skilled supervision and
direction of guard Thomas Green. The brick were made at
the reformatory at^reen Bay and laid in the walls by a gang
of six young men from that institution, who were for that pur-
pose paroled to Mr. Green and lived in the village while engaged
in this work. They were paid fair wages. It is a pleasure to
record that they did their work in a thoroughly workmanlike
manner, behaved themselves like gentlemen and were discharged
for meritorious conduct at its completion.. The erection of the
steel work, trusses and planking of roof was well performed by
inmates under the direction of guard George Steuck.
The entire work of erecting the reinforced concrete cell walls
and finished floors of cells and cell house was carried to com-
pletion under the charge of Mr. Green. This work was so in-
geniously and carefully planned by the use of a set of col-
lapsible forms as to require the use of but two hundred dollars
worth of lumber for forms, and is a splendid specimen of work-
manship.
The work done on this building 'on contract is confined to the
metal roofing and cornice work, the cell fronts, the corridor,
window operating mechanism and the ventilating and heating
apparatus.
The entire cost to, the state of building and cells ready for
use has been a trifle over seventy thousand dollars.

General Report,
The building of the Binder Twine Plant.
In a gpeeial report to the legislature of 1905, giving the re-
sult of the investigation by this board, this board estimated the
cost of a suitable plant for that purpose at $150,000.00. The
legislature of 1907, appropriated for that purpose $125,000.00,
and there was the suggestion brought out in the legislature de-
bates, that the building erected for this purpose should be
also suitable for other manufacturing purposes.
In making the plans for the Binder Twinfe Factory this board
has kept constantly in mind two essentials:
First, that the factory building shall be fire proof, thoroughly
lighted and convenient for the work and for the supervision of
the prisoners and finally of such form as to be capable of being
adapted to other uses.
Second, that the production of the large power necessary
should be on the basis of the highest possible economy.
The building is practically completed, is a fine specimen of
reinforced concrete construction, of a bold type, a factory ninety
feet wide by two hundred forty feet long, with but one row of
columns. This makes possible the arrangement of machinery
in the most convenient way and all on one floor, with a capacity
of upward of four million pounds of twine per annum. It is
designed to use the first story temporarily for the storage of
the crude and finished product, and the arrangement of the
building is such that if it is desired to double the output or to
add another industry thi3 can be dene by simply adding a
plain brick warehouse adjoining.
Care in excluding burnable material has gone so far that even
wooden beams or plank to support shafting have been entirely
excluded and the floors are to be partly of cement and partly of
monolith. It has been built so that at any time, if desired, the
roof can be raised and another story added.
Great credit is due to the C. W. Noble Company, the eon-
tractors for this building, and especially to Mr. 0. A. Dieman,
the efficient superintendent of construction, and to Warden
Town, for their keen, active, interest in everything relating to
this building.
Tbe thanks of this board are also due to Hop. Henry A.

advised with and assisted us in planning- this work, and whose
long and successful experience as a manufacturer of binder
twine has rendered his advice most valuable.
The power plant will consist of two one hundred twenty-five
kilowatt generators, direct connected to two two hundred horse
power producer gas engines of the Rathburn-Jones type, and
supplied with producer gas from two Smith Gas Producers
of ample capacity, so fitted up that they can be used with either
hard or soft coal. Hard coal is first to be used until soft coal
shall be dettermined to be thoroughly reliable. This gas producer
gas engine generator plant is guaranteed to produce power at
the rate of one kilowatt per hour from 1.5 pounds of clean hard
pea coal. This power vnll be distributed through main cables
in a special tunnel to a series of enclosed twenty-five horse
power electric motors. These motors each propel a certain sec-
tion of the machinery and are under automatic electric speed
control. The two line shafts are so arranged that should any
motor on either line have to go out of commission for repairs
the various sections can be bolted together and propelled by the
remaining motors on that line, whose overload capacity makes
this easily possible. Should two motors on either line of shaft-
ing go out of commission that line can still be operated by the
remaining motors if the enclosing shields be temporarily re-
moved, thus greatly increasing the overload capacity of the
motors.
The water required for the cooling of the gas and for extract-
ing the heat from the exhaust gas after its explosion in the
cylinder, and for cooling the cylinders, will be heated to 130°
and will be used in winter for the partial heating of the factory.
At other times it will necessarily go to waste. It will be sup-
plied from a well which has been drilled for that purpose,
thirteen inches in diameter at the top, ten inches in diameter at
the bottom and eight hundred feet deep, the last five hundred
feet in the Potsdam sandstone.

build the binder twine factory outside of the present walls. To
provide an enclosure for the binder twine factory, and at the
same time an open space in which to allow the prisoners to ex-
ercise and take fresh air, there is needed at once an extension
of the prison w-all, tw^o thousand feet in length, to enclose all of
the prison property except a reasonable yard and garden sur-
rounding the Warden's residence. It is proposed to build this
w'all of concrete. Preliminary studies of form and methods of
construction have been made. Careful estimates, based upon
these, show^ that the cost will be approximately thirty thousand
dollars. The stone for this purpose will be quarried at the
prison farm, carted to the grounds and crushed by prison labor.
The appropriation asked is based on the cost of necessary ma-
terials and appliances only, all labor to be that of prisoners;
With the appropriation made by the last legislature of
$14,000.00 there was acquired one hundred sixty-five acres of
land adjoining the farm and largely between it and the village.
Somewhat more than half of this land was dry and well culti-
vated. The rest w^as low lying wet land adjoining similar tracts
on the original prison farm. The new land furnished the ditch
location for draining the entire tract. Ditching was begun in
the autumn of 1907, and greatly relieved the situation. Broad-
ening and" deepening of the main ditch in 1908, together with
the tile draining planned to be done in 1909, will bring all this
land, s(miewhat more than eighty acres, into cultivable condition
and provide proper pasture for the rapidly increasing herd of
Holstein cattle. Radical changes in the farm management and
methods have been made and it is believed that w^ithin two or
three years this will become one of the best and most profitable
of the state farms.

Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Bright of Appleton succeed them.
The work which this institution is intended to accomplish
is that of receiving neglected-and abandoned children and find-
ing homes for them.
The institution now carries on its payroll three agents who
are constantly traveling, finding homes for children and look-
ing after the welfare of those already placed. -
By these means the welfare of an average of two hundred and
fifty children in the institution, and about three times that
number in homes, is constantly looked after.
The institution has a moderate sized farm, a go^d garden and
play grounds, and althoug:h the soil is light, the garden and
farm have been quite productive. There are always, at the
institution a considerable number of fair sized boys, for whom
homes cannot be found or who have been returned from homes
for various reasons, and some similar ca3es of larger girls. For
these training in farm work and domestic science is given and
they are made helpful around the institution. This training
should be carried further in the school in order that these people
may be better prepared to care for themselves when released
from the care of the school.
This institution has had little spent upon it, other than for
absolutely necessary repairs, for many year?. In view of the
increase in the number of commitments and the fact,
That there is but one cottage for girls, now greatly over-
crowded ;
That there is but one baby cottage, always much overcrowded;
That the plumbing facilities are very deficient in many ways;
That the provision of room for employes is insufficient;
That for the larger boys and girls added facilities for in-
dustrial training are needed;
That the farm buildings need extension and improvement;
That the character of the soil renders some simple means of
irrigation very necessary during dry seasons;
That the condition of the grounds renders it very desirable
that some planting of threes and shrubs be systematically done ;
It is recommended that appropriations be made as follows:

For a girls cottage $12,000.00
For annex to baby cottage 5,000.00
For turning present chapel into bed rooms, much

For cows 300.00

An investigation of the methods of hom6 finding societies
operating in this state was directed by Joint Resolution No. 22,
of the legislature of 1907. The w^ork of investigation was car-
ried on mainly by the agents of the State School, acting under
the direction of this board, and its results are given in a special
report. In order to carry on this work without interfering too
much with the regular work of the agents, it was necessary to
appoint an additional agent. The number of commitments to
the institution has since so greatly increased as to render it
necessary to keep the entire force of three agents constantly
traveling. Even with the help of the additional agent it has
been impossible to keep the population down to the normal, and
the crowded condition of the institution calls urgently for added
accommodations.
The Board of Control were invited to send delegates to the
National Child Conference called by President Roosevelt and
were represented by Dr. Frisby and Supt. Bright. It is pleas-
ant to record that the state organization of the work of home
finding for children in Wisconsin is almost exactly along the

lines laid down in that conference. Such changes in our laws
as are needed to bring them entirely in line with the recommen-
dations of the conference will be worked out by us and brought
to the attention of the legislature.
Home for FEEaiLB ^Iinded.
With the completion of the cottag(\s now under construction
at this institution, house room will be provided for a total
population of nearly eleven hundred inmates. There will be
left for the legislature to provide only two much needed build-
ings, a hospital for the sick and an additional school building,
besides such small buildings as may sooner or later be needed
as additions to the industrial and farm equipment.
This institution wa^ carefully and wisely planned on modem
lines and its buildings have been well constructed. It can be
confidently expected that its repair and renewal account will
be relatively small. It was wisely planned that this institution
should provide for approximately one thousand inmates, only.
Experience here and elsewhere has clearly indicated that no
economy can be secured by enlargment of the institution be-
yond those limits, and that it is better to provide additional in-
stitutions so distributed as to keei) the necessary cost of travel,
for inmates committed and for viuting relatives, as low as
possible.
The management of the institution has been careful and eco-.
nomical. Its condition and the work it is doing are worthy of
high commendation. Especial attention is called to the full re-
port of the superintendent and its description of the methods
of the institution.
It is clear that this institution will l)e filled to its capacity
before the end of 1910, and that thereafter it will be onlv able
to accept new inmates to replace the occasional vacancies caused
by death or removal. This board, therefore, recommends that
prompt steps be taken to acquire a site for a new home if simi-
lar character. Such an instituticm shoidd be located somewhere
in the southeastern part of the state, centrally placed with
reference to the population of that section, and not too far from
Report of the State Board 6f CoNTRoii, 29
General Report.
Milwaukee, from which place a very large number of inmates are
committed.
If provision is made by the legislature of 1909 for the pur-
chase of a site, and by the legislature of 1911, for the construc-
tion of buildings, it is clear that they will not be ready to open
in time to prevent some distress because of lack of room, at
the Chippewa Falls home which wiir surely begin early in 1910.
It is, therefore, urged that both the site and some cottages be
provided for, if possible, at this time.
Before the addition of the three new cottages the school build-
ing was so crowded as to necessitate the use of basement rooms
for school and recitation purposes. The addition of three hun-
dred inmates early in 1909 will render a duplicate school house
necessary. Such a building and its equipment will cost thirty
thousand dollars.
The increase in population will also render necessary an in-
crease in the herd of cows. To accommodate these it will be
necessary to add the third wing to the new stock barn. For
this purpose, and in part to provide for the purchase of cows
an appropriation of six thousand dollars is recommended.
State Reformatory.
The very general interest in and approval of the work being
done by this institution, and the appreciation of its needs,
shown by visiting legislators, the legislative visiting committee,
his excellency Governor Davidson, and by visiting citizens gen-
erally, resulted in a liberal appropriation to supply the press-
ing needs of the reformatory for better quarters for school and
industrial purposes.
As a result there has been purchased all the necessary granite
to complete the principal building, in accordance with the origi-
nal plans, a school of instruction in granite cutting has been
organized, and from fifteen to thirty boys have been steadily at
work cutting the granite into form for use and learning the
trade of stone cutter. Some of these boys have been paroled
and some released and are earning good wages at their trades
as citizens.

Keport op the State Board op Control. 31
Oeneral Report,
so clear that we do not hesitate to recommend the moderate
appropriations necessary to carry it on steadily during the
next two years. By the clo^e of the present appropriation
period, June 30th, 1909, the rear portion of the center building
will be nearly completed and the foundation work for the front
part will be completed. The excavation for this work has al-
ready been begun.
Steady prosecution of the work will complete the enclosure
of the front center part by the end of the year, and complete •
it entirely during the season of 1910, leaving ample opportun-
ity for beginning and carrying well along the outer walls of the
second wing, now very much needed, during the season of 1910
and their completion during the season of 1911.
The number of inmates " committed to the reformatory has
twice during the last two years, and most of the time since, ex-
ceeded the capacity of the institution and compelled the send-
ing of some to the state prison and to county jails. The value
of the reformatory training is becoming more generally under-
stood by the judges having criminal jurisdiction and the need
of further accommodations is definitely established.
If the building operations are carried on continuously, as out-
lined herein, new cells can hardly be ready until sometime late in
1911, after another legislature shall have made an additional
appropriation for the materials necessary for the cells. For
these reasons it is hoped that the legislature will grant the
modest amounts asked for continuing this work. It is thought
better to put up with the inconvenience caused by waiting for
added cells rather than give up in any part the admirable op-
portunity this building work furnishes for practical instruc-
tion of inmates.
The pressing necessity for additions of more land to the
holdings of this institution to assist in furnishing suitable em-
ployment and instruction to the inmates, and to prevent a vil-
lage growing up around the immediate vicinity of its walls, is
very urgent, and furnishes one of the several strong reasons for
the special land appropriation recommended elsewhere.
The completion of the new rear center building will make
possible much better and more thorough instruction in the
32 Report of the State Board of Control.
General Report.
schools of the institution and especially in the school side of
trade instruction, and make possible the establishing of even-
ing schools in which the more ambitious of the inmates can be
helped to more thorough knowledge of those trader, and be
given added schooling. In order that it may be possible for the
institution to furnish a good grade of such instruction it is
urged that the current expense appropriation be increased and
determined with a wise liberality.
The board desires especially to acknowledge and express its
thanks to Governor Davidson for his spirit of complete co-
operation with the superintendent of the r(»f ormatory and board
of control in maintaining the discipline, in assisting in the
paroling and releasing of those recommended, and refusing to
listen to appeals based merely on sympathy and influence. The
basic principle of all the reformatories in this country is to se-
cure that anyone released before the expiration of his sentence
is released because he has by industry, excellent deportment and
showing himself worthy of confidence, earned his own release.
The discipline of the institution and its value to the inmate can
only be maintained at its most effective point by such mutual
confidence as has happily existed during the })ast few years be-
tween the different governing bodi(^s and officers in authority
over this institution.
Wisconsin State TrBERcrLosis Sanatorium.
The work of construction of the buildings for this institution,
two miles north of Wales, a station en the Northwestern Rail-
way, lying eight miles west of Waukesha, was begun in the
summer of 1906 and was so far completed as to allow the open-
ing of the institution on November 9th, 1907. The present
buildings of the institution were planned so as to allow the in-
stitution finally to accommodate one hundred and sixty people.
At the time of the opening the acconnnodations provided were for
forty patients. It was not until the following spring that these
first cottages were entirely filled. During the fall and early
winter of 1907 two additional cottages or shacks, providing
additional capacity for forty inmates, were built and were oc-

—
cupied early in the spring. The number of patients has stead-
ily increased until now the institution is uniformly running
full.
The report of the superintendent shows the results of the
treatment of the various eases under his charge.
It h clearly developed that too many people have, so far,
been received whose cases were in an advanced stage. We be-
lieve that arrangements have now been made which will largely
prevent this in the future. It is also clear from the experience
of the past two years that an infirmary or hospital ward is a vi-
tal necessity of the institution.
At best there will be frequent occasion for removing incipient
cases from the shacks to the infirmary and giving them special
medical care and individual nursing. With the present ar-
rangements it has been necessary frequently to use the admin-
istration building for this purpose, for which it is entirely un-
fit. Futhermore, its use for such purposes involves elements
of additional risk to the ofiicial force and nurses, to which we
have no right to subject them.
Under the law it became necessary for the superintendent of
the institution and the board of control to establish the cost
of maintenance in advance and this was determined to be $10.00
a week, that amount representing the experience of other insti-
tutions of the sort. During the entire pericd of the mainten-
ance of the institution up to the present time the per capita
cost per week has largely exceeded that estimated amount.
This is the universal experience in opening new institutions
while the number of inmates remain small, and it is very evi-
dent from the experience of the past six months that the weekly
cost per capita per week will exceed the limit of $10.00 until
the population approximates one hundred fifty patients.
It is evident from the number of patients now at the insti-
tution and from the applications which have been received that
the capacity of the institution should at once be increased to
one hundred and fifty or one hundred sixty beds, besides those
of an infirmary. With that number of patients in the institu-
tion the cost of maintenance can be brought well within the cost
established by the board.
3^~S. B. C
34 Report op the State Board op Controu
General Report.
The law establishing this institution provides a method by
which patients unable to pay for their own care can be certified
by the county judge so that their care in the institution will be
paid for by their county at the rate of $5.00 per week, intended
to be practically one-half of the cost. There is a large class of
cases, however, who are able to pay a part of their own way
and wish to do so and not become county patients. While the
institution was filling up, this beard accepted the responsibility
of receiving some patients of this class at the same rate as that
paid by the county for indigent patients, where it was clearly
shown that they could pay that rate and become patients, but
could not pay more.: In several of these cases they paid their
way as long as their money held out and were then compelled
to leave the institution too soon for their own good.
It seems to us that these cases are worthy of consideration
and that the law should be so amended as to allow this board,
in ease it shall find, upon investigation, that the patient is un-
able^ to pay the smaller but not the larger charge, to provide
for his being received into the institution on the same basis as
the county patients.
The law providing for the establishment of this institution
also contains several radical differences from the laws govern-
ing other state institutions.
1st. It provides for an advisory board to be appointed by
the Governor, which is authorized to select the site, to approve
of plans for buildings, to appoint and remove the superintend-
ent of the institution and to determine the amount of medical
assistance necessary and to approve or disapprove of the ap-
pointment of medical assistants.
2nd. The superintendent is given full power to govern the
institution in accordance with rules and regulations for the
government of employes made by himself and approved by the
advisory board. He is given full power to appoint all employes
not subject to the approval of or removal by any board.
In each of the other institutions under its management this
board has power to appoint and remove the superintendent and
principal officers. The superintendent has power to appoint all
subordinate officers, subject to the approval of this board, and
Report op the State Boabd op Control. 35
Oenerdl Report.
power is given both to the superintendent and to the board to
remove any oflS,cer or employee for cause.
It is the experience of this board that these powers are all
essential to the proper control by them of the management of
the institutions.
The powers granted to this board by the law creating the
tuberculosis sanatorium are, therefore, too limited to enable it to
secure such efficiency of management a^ it deems necessary to the
usefulness and success of the institution. We believe that this
board should be given, in relation to this institution, practically
the same powers as it has in relation to the others and that the
powers of the advisory board should be limited to visitory and
advisory powers in matters relating to the medical policy and
management..
As suggested before, there is immediate need for four addi-
tional shacks to provide accommodations for eighty more patients.
Also some slight betterments to the two shacks first built.
These were built in a crude and simple way and have not
proven satisfactory.
It was necessary in building the refectory to omit one short
wing in order to bring the original contract within the first
appropriation. This provided for rooms for help and it has
now become necessary to the institution to add this wing for the
accommodation of the help at present employed.
With the increased population of the institution it becomes
necessary to establish a bakery, no room for which was provided
in the original plan. An addition to the refectory can be made
for this purpose.
One-half of the present dining room has up to the present
time been used for amusement purposes. With the completion
of new shacks the entire refectory building will be used to its
full capacity and it will be necessary to provide a meeting and
amusement hall. The life of patients in this institution is of
necessity very tedious and dreary, and if good results are to be
secured, amusements must be provided.
A residence for the superintendent and his family is one of
the pressing necessities of the institution.
The coal shed at the power plant is too small to provide stor-
36 Eepobt op the State Board op Control.
Oeneral Report.
age for a proper amount of coal and no sufficient quantity to
provide for contingencies can be stored.
The institution is situated two miles from the village of
Wales and it is necessary to provide for some of the male em-
ployes small cottages, in order that a good and steady class of
employes can be obtained, and to accommodate officers with fami-
lies like the chief engineer, who must be kept constantly within
call.
The grounds upon which the institution is placed are very ir-
regular and uneven, necessitating a very considerable amount
of grading and it is further necessary to gradually improve the
road leading to the institution from the north, since many of
the patients, and much of the service of the institution, come
from that direction. A moderate appropriation is asked to
further this work.
It is, therefore, asked that the legislature appropriate the
following amounts in order to meet the pressing needs of this
institution :
Additional shacks for patients $24,000 00
Infirmary 15,000 00
Enlargement of refectory 4,000 00
Enlargement of coal shed 1,500 00
Chicken house 600 00
Grading and planting 3,000 00
Storm sash on buildings 1,000 00
Amusement hall 9,000 00
Bakery 1,500 00
Cottage for superintendent 4,000 00
Cottages for employes 4,000 00
Total $67,600 00
In establishing an institution having a capacity of one hun-
dren sixty patients and a probable capacity of caring for from
three to four hundred each year, the state will have made a be-
ginning in the fight to exterminate pulmonary tuberculosis.
A large proportion of the patients who apply at such an in-
stitution are between the ages of twenty and thirty-five years

and are persons of very moderate means. In assisting them
in a return to health, the state returns them to the class of pro-
ducers, and prevents them and their families from becoming pub-
lic charges. In a small way, also, it ten,ds to prevent the spread
of the disease.
Scattered through the rural districts and through every vil-
lage and city of the state, however, are advanced cases of tuber-
culosis. Wherever they are to be found they are sure to be
very actice sources of infection, and especially where in cities
and villages each case is sure to carry the infection to large
numbers each year. It will be impossible to greatly diminish
the spread of the disease unless active and intelligent efforts
are made to segregate these cases. It is believed that the state
should take the initiative in this work.
Th grounds obtained for the sanatorium at Wales include
upwards of two hundred acres of rugged, hilly land and con-
tains two or three sites suitable for small camps or settlements
somewhat widely separated. It is believed that at least one of
these sites, situated a little more than a quarter of a mile from
the present sanatorium buildings, would be well suited for a
camp, providing for such advanced cases. The grounds suited
for the purpose could easily provide accommodations for one
hundred patients. Such an institution, placed upon the same
grounds as the present sanatorium, controlled by the same
management, supplied with water and light from the same
power plant, could be carried on economically and well. Care-
ful consideration of the subject leads us to the belief that
under these conditions these advanced cases could be cared for
at a per capita cost of $5.00 per week.
To establish such a settlement or camp it would be necessary
that the state appropriate the sum of sixty thousand dollars;
thirty thousand dollars for the necessary buildings to accommo-
date one hundred people, and thirty thousand for their main-
tenance during the year and a half left of the appropriation
period after the completion of the buildings. The subject is
recommended for ycur earnest consideration.

38 Report op the State Board op Control.
General Report.
Semi-State Institutions.
The care of the chronic insane in county asylums, under state
supervision, has proved, on the plan adopted in Wisconsin, in
most ways decidedly successful. In most respects the asylums
are satisfactorily managed and the quarters, food and care are
excellent. Much greater freedom is allowed to the inmates, it
is believed, than in any similar institutions. Whereas, the pro-
portion of parole patients, or those having the freedom of the
buildings and grounds, ordinarily varies from ten to twenty
per cent in hospitals for the insane in states having entire state
care of the insane, the proportion of the insane in Wisconsin
having the liberty of buildings and grounds, is nearer sixty-five
per cent of the entire insane population in institutions.
The system has, of late, received some attention from alienists
and students from other states. lion. Hastings H. Hart, LL. D.,
of Chicago, a leading authority on and student of the care
of the insane, who has been familiar with this system for
many years, who had previously studied these institutions and
again visited them last year, has recommended that a similar
system be adopted for Oklahoma for which state he is acting as
an expert.
Mr. Hart in a special report on the subject says, '^The writer
has been familiar with the Wisconsin county system almost
from its inception, having lived in the adjoining states of
Minnesota and Illinois. For many years he entertained serious
doubts as to the permanent success of the Wisconsin plan, but,
having watched its development for twenty-five years, visiting
the Wisconsin county asylums from time to time and comparing
the care of patients there with the care of similar patients in
state institutions, he can testify from his own knowledge that
the Wisconsin county asylums are furnishing better care than
the average state institution for the same class of patients.''
The state of Pennslyvania in 1901 sent a committee to study
the Wisconsin system, and as a result adopted it in part. They,
however, failed to make the separation of the chronics from
acute cases, a part of this system. During the fall of 1908 Doc-
tor Woodbury, the secretary of the lunacy committee of the

panied by Doctor Orth, superintendent of the Harrisburg
hospital f 01* the insane, acting as a committee, ina4e a second visit
to Wisconsin to study again the Wisconsin system of county care
of chronic insane. They visited seven county asylums and two
state hospitals for the insane and the home for the feeble minded
and made a thorough study of the institutions, their methods
and management. In his report of his investigation to the com-
mittee on lunacy Doctor Woodbury discusses his observations
quite fully. We quote from his report, ^*It may therefore be
regarded as a fact, after twenty-five years experience with this
method in the state of Wisconsin, that *' County Care*' is based
upon sound business principles, and that from the standpoint
of administration, it satisfactorily solves the economic problem
of caring for the indigent insane. It is worthy of notice, from
an historical point of view, that the* ''County Care'' system was
inaugerated and carried on successfully under the former state
board of public charities, the present state board of control
having come into existence about fifteen years ago.''
*'More important, however, than the financial aspect of the
subject, is that point of view which regards the welfare of the
patient, and especially the bearing which it may have upon his
restorartion to reaicn, and replacing him in his home, as a use-
ful, self-supporting member of society. Three questions par-
ticularly require consideration :
1. Is the patient as well cared for in the county asylums as
he would have been if kept in the state asylums?
2. Has he greater or le^^s chance of recovery under the pres-
ent than under the former system?
3. Is the increased amount of work (chiefly agricultural in
character) a benefit or an injury to him?
** Summarizing the impression made by these several institu-
tions, it must be stated that on the whole they are highly favor-
able. Wisconsin apparently has made adequate provision for
the treatment of the indigent insane, not merely with a view to
satisfying present demands, but with proper provision for the
future needs of this doubly unfortunate class, with a wise gen-
erosity which calls for word^ of highest commendation. It is

questionable if the indigent insane are better fed, better housed
and better eared fcr generally, than they are to-day by Wisconsin;
there are few communities in which, taking the insane popula-
tion as a whole, they are treated as well/'
**The question whether the patient ia as well cared for in the
county asylum as in the state asylum, is considerably modified
by this fact ; that he must be a chronic case before being placed
in the county asylum. Observation shows that this class of
patients is better off in the smaller institutions, where they do
not lose their individuality as they would in a larger one, in-
deed, the patient in the county asylum usually soon becomes
personally acquainted with the superintendent and friendly
relations are frequently established which are favorable to re-
covery."
** Replying to the second question, it may be said that the
chances of recovery of the chronic patient are at least as good
and presumably better under the '* County Care" system."
'*As regards the third question, our personal observation of
the good physical condition of the patients and the reported
small amount €f sickneis in these institutions, argues strongly
in favor of the hygienic value of cut- door employment, such as
is provided by the dairy and other farm work. In fact, a small
proportion of these patients recover sufficiently to permit them
to work on other farms in the neighborhood and in the course
of time, they may be ultimately paroled, and returned to their
friends"
During the past year the county of Douglas has completer!
its new county asylum, a departure in some ways from uiu)-e
previously planned and in every way a fine and complete
asylum. It will be occupied early in 1909 and will accomodate
one hundred twenty patients.
Improvements were made the past two yearj increasing the
capacity ef the Trempealeau, Marinette, Pond du Lac, Dcdgo,
and Dane county asylums and other additions are promised in
Jefferson and Vernon counties during the coming year.
These institutions are now .somewhat more filled up than they
should be and it will be necessary to have two additional asy-
lums built during the next biennial period.

General Report,
Workshop for the Blind.
The workshop for the blind , continues, under the faithful
superintendence of Mr. Oscar Kustermann, to fulfil in ai- effici-
ent manner the objects for which it was established. It has
been necessary that this institution should occupy rented quar-
ters in the city of Milwaukee in a neighborhood where the in-
mates of the shop can find living quarters at ij^asonable rates
and where the rent of the institution quarters would not be too
great.
The excellent work which hai been done in providing em-
ployment for the blind seems to this board to entitle that insti-
tution to special consideration and that it should no loiiger be
compelled to occupy such insufficient and badly arranged quar-
ters but that it should have a home of its own. Such a work-
shop as it should have, together with the neces-ary simple ware-
houses for the storage of the raw material and the fmished
products of the shop, could be built for a very moderate sum.
It is, therefore, earnestly recommended that the legislature pro-
vide at an early date for the establishment of the institution in
a conveniently planned home of its own.

Office State Board of Control
Madison, Wis., April 26, 1898.
"For the purpose of establishing and more clearly defining the func-
tions of the Superintendent and Wardens of the several State Chari-
table, Penal and Reformatory Institutions governed by the Board of
Control, and the officers and employes therein, their relations to each
other and to the Board of Control, and the tenure of their respective
oflaces, the following order is promulgated for the information and
guidance of all concerned:
First — Superintendents, wardens, stewards and general matrons shall
te appointed directly by the Board of Control.
Second — The following oflBcers shall be appointed by the Board upon
the nomination of the proper superintendent or warden: Chaplains,
physicians, and assistant physicians, principals and teachers of schools,
assistant wardens and stewards, head engineers, and agents at the
State Public Schcol and the Industrial School for Boys.
The superintendent or warden may suspend any of the officers men-
tioned in this paragraph, and may remove any of them except the as-
sistant warden, principal of schools, chaplain and the agents above
mentioned, promptly reporting to the Board such removal, or suspen-
sions, and the causes therefor.
Third — Each superintendent or warden shall appoint, and in his dis-
cretion may remove, all other subordinate officers and all employes,
not officers of his institution. The superintendent or warden shall
monthly report to the Board, "with his estimate for the ensuing month,
all changes of subordinate cfficers during the past month, and the
dates of such changes.
Fourth — The regular term of office of each officer or person men-
tioned in paragraphs No. 1 and 2 shall be one year from July ^Ist next
after appointment. The nominations required in paragraph No. 2 shall
be submitted to the Board May 20th in each year. Appointments to fill
vacancies terminate on July first, next after they were made, and nom-
inations therefor shall be submitted to the Board as soon as practicable
after the vacancy occurs.
Fi^h — Superintendents and wardens are charged with the duty of
giving all subordinates in their respective institutions affected by this
order timely notice of its contents."

ORDER NO. 2.
Office State Board of Control,
Madison,. Wis., January 3, 1900.
"A careful examination of the law fixing liability for the expense of
the care and maintenance of the insane in the State Hospitals and
County Asylums seems to lead to the following conclusions:
I.
The only statute giving the State a right of action against indi-
viduals for such expense is Section 604^., R. S. It applies alike to all
persons committed as insane whether inmates of a State Hospital or a
County Asylum, but it only roaches the case of an inmate who has an
estate sufficient to pay for his or her maintenance, the cost of which
must not exceed $3.00 per week. The judge has the power in hid dis-
cretion to refuse to charge the estate for the cost of maintenance of the
owner, even though sufficient for that purpose, if such owner has a
parent, wife or child dependent upon such estate for future support.
If a proceeding is instituted under the above Section, whether by
State or County authority, it should be prosecuted before the judge in
behalf both of the State and County, and his order for the payment
should probably be in the name of the State and County, although
perhaps action in behalf of each might be allowed.
n.
Pursuant to Section 600, R. S., the sums charged any county for
maintaining a patient in the State Hospitals, chargeable to it, may be
collected by such county, by suit, out of the property of the patient, or
from any person legally bound to support such patient. The State has
no interest in, or concern with, any such proceeding. It is merely d^
signed to reimburse the county for its expenditures for maintaining
such patient in the State Hospitals.
III.
If an insane person resident of and chargeable to any given county
is maintained in the asylum of some other county, it seems quite cer-
tain that the county so chargeable may recover, in like manner, the
sums legally paid by it for such maintenance, out of the estate of such
insane pei-son, or from any person legally liable for his or her support.
If the patient is maintained in the asylum of the county chargeable
for his maintenance the recovery should be limited to $3.00 per week
for such maintenance, and in addition thereto, the cost of clothing,
necessarily furnished such insane person by the county.
Rbpobt op the State Board op Control. 51
Orders Issued by the Board,
IV.
If the county collects a sum equal to $1.50 per week for the mainteii"
ance of such insane patient no part of the expense of his maintenance
can properly be charged to the State. If less than $1.50 per week be so
collected the State is chargeable only for the difference between the
sum collected and $1.50 per week.
V.
Under the provisions of Section 604cf, and 604e, R. S., the State is not
chargeable with, the $1.50 per week specified in Section 604d, for the
care of an insane inmate of any county asylum who is a resident of
the county maintaining such asylum, "whose support is not properly
a public charge."
The support of any such inmate is not properly a public charge:
(1) If some responsible person within the reach of the process of our
courts is liable therefor, as in the case of a wife or minor child of a
responsible husband or father; or (2) if such inmate has a father,
mother or child in like manner amenable to the process of our court a
sufilcient ability under Section 1504, R. S., to maintain and care for
such inmate or (3) if such inmate has an estate sufficient under Sec-
tion 604^, R. S., to defray the cost of his or her maintenance and care.
This paragraph applies only to the maintenance of insane inmates of
a county asylum who are residents of, and chargeable to the county
maintaining such asylum.
TI.
For the purpose of protecting the State from being charged for thb
support of insane persons for whose maintenance it is not legally
chargeable, county asylum trustees are required to certify in their re-
ports upon which State allowances, under 604(i, R. fif., are claimed that
after diligent inquiry they believe no such claim is made therein on
account of any insane persons, whose support is not properly a public
charge under the laws.
Each board of trustees will also report to this Board the name of
each inmate in their asylum, and in the State Hospital, chargeable to
their county, for whose maintenance in whole or in part their county
has been reimbursed during the time covered by their report, and the
amount thus recovered on account of each such inmate.
vn.
In determining whether some responsible person is liable, or may by
legal proceedings be made liable, for the support of an inmate of any
county asylum who is a resident of the county maintaining such asy-
lum, or whether such inmate has a sufficient estate to pay for his or
her own maintenance, this Board does not insist upon or desire the
application of any rigid rules in favor of the State. In making such
determination the officials of the asylum should consider the nature of
the property of the person sought to be charged, its productiveness and
the probable Income which may be derived from it, the size and rea-
, <5onable cost of maintaining the family of the owner and all other con-
52 Report op the State Board op Control,
Orders Issued hy the Board.
ditions which may reasonably be supposed to elBfect the liability of the
owner to support such inmate. The mere fact that the cost of such
support can be collected by legal proceedings against some person does
not, of itself, necessarily prove that such person ought to be charged
with the maintenance of such inmate and the State thereby relieved of
such charge. All that the Board requires is that the asylum officials
exercise a discriminating and just discretion in making their classifi-
cations of the inmates of their asylums who are residents of their
county. Such is believed to be the true intent and spirit of the statute
in that behalf.
vni.
Under section 604f, for all inmates of a count> asylum whose support
is not chargeable to the county maintaining such asylum, the State
pays such county $3.00 per week each and the amount necessarily ex-
pended for clothing them. The liability to pay this sum, and the lia-
bility of counties to refund to the state a portion of it, does not depend
upon the question (as in the former paragraphs) whether or not the ex-
pense of the support of such patient is properly a public charge. The
obligation of the State is absolute to pay the stipulated sum for each
patien.t of that class, and it is equally absolute that the county charge-
able with the maintenance of any such inmate shall refund to the
State $1.50 per week, and the amount necessarily expended for cloth-
ing him or her.

county asylums for the chronic insane — directions concerning
their management in certain part^. culars.
Office State Board of Control,
Madison, Wis., April 5, 1900.
Although the County Asylums for the Insane are erected, organized
and managed by county authority, are primarily maintained by the re-
spective counties, and, properly speaking, are county institutions, yet
because the State contributes largely toward the support of all the in-
mates therein and has the necessary authority to prescribe proper care
and treatment of such inmates (each of whom is a ward of the State)
such asylums are also in a large sense state, or quasi-state institutions.
The State exercises its functions in respect to these asylums chiefly
through the agency of this Board. In the discharge of its duty in that
behalf this Board has from time to time requested county asylum ofli
cials to adopt certain policies and methods of procedure in their respec-
tive asylums for the purpose of improving the condition and promoting
the welfare of the inmates there of. Such requests have the force of
orders made by authority of the State, and must be so regarded. This
Board has also decided to give some additional directions concerning
the management of such asylums. These, with the directions hereto-
fore given, are briefly as follows:
Report op the State Board of Control. 53
Orders Issued by the Board,
I. •
Asylum physicians should not be selected and contracts for the med-
ical care of the insane awarded upon competitive bids. The Trustees
should appoint some competent physician and fix his salary. The se-
lection should be made with the care and consideration that might rea-
sonably be expected in the selection of a family physician.
The asylum physician should visit the asylum at least twice in each
week. At each visit he is expected in addition to attending to the sick
inmates to examine the sanitary condition of the asylum and grounds
and the condition of the patients, their health, diet, clothing and clean-
liness, the work required of them and any other condition affecting
their welfare and comfort. He will advise and direct the Superin-
tendent as to which of the patients should be required to labor and
the kinds and amount of work each working patient is able to per-
form. *At each visit to the asylum the physician shall enter in a
book, furnished by the Superintendent, the date of his visit, the name,
age and malady of each patient treated by him, the treatment pre-
scribed and the name of each patient he has advised the Superii
tendent should not be required to labor. At least once in each month
the physician should also enter in said book, statements of the sani-
tary condition of the institution, and the general condition of the
patients in respect to matters herein mentioned. He is invited to
enter therein any suggestions he may think proper to make for the
improvement of the institution and the promotion of the welfare of
the inmates, Such report book should be properly ruled and the re-
quired entries affecting individual patients should be made under the
following heads:
Date of visit.
Name of
patient.
Age.
Malady
Treatment.
Remarks,
Patients excused from labor may be named in second column or un-
der the head of "Remarks." A separate portion of the book may be
set apart for the monthly report above mentioned.
n.
Each County Asylum shall have upon its staff of employes a female
night attendant who shall be constantly on duty during each night iu
'the apartments occupied by the female inmates. Such attendant shall
make a daily report to the Superintendent, to be written in a book pro-
vided by him for that purpose, stating the name of each patient who
was sick or disturbed during the night, the nature of her sickness or
cause of her disturbance and what was done for her relief; and stat-
ing also any unusual occurrence in the female apartments during the
night. The Superintendent should see that this rule is faithfully com-
plied with. The reports of the physician and female night attendant
shall be kept by the Superintendent for the inspection of all persons
entitled to se^ th^m,
54 Report of the State Boam) op Control.
Orders Issued hy the Board.
in.
Tlie Trustees of each County Asylum arc required to employ and
keep on duty a competent night watchman at their institution through
each night during the whole year.
-When it is considered that each of these institutions is inhabited by
from one hundred to one hundred and fifty, and more, irresponsible
persons, many of them prone to mischief, and nearly all incapable of
self preservation in case of fire or other peril, it seems absolutely neces-
sary to their proper protection that some intelligent man in full pos-
session of his faculties be with them and upon the grounds of the in-
stitution constantly.
IV.
Regulations for ascertaining the amounts chargeable for clothing
furnished by the Trustees of any County Asylum to the inmates
thereof, a portion of whose maintenance is charged to counties other
than that in which such asylum is situated, or wholly to the State,
pursuant to Section 604/, R. S.
1. An accurate account shall be kept of the clothing furnished each
such inmate and the same shall be charged to the proper county, at
the actual cost thereof. The asylum authorities are expected to use
jeasonable diligence to make purchases of such clothing in the cheap-
est available market.
2. Clothing accounts made pursuant to Section 604/, R. S., must be
verified by the aflldavit of the proper Superintendent (or in case of
his inability, by a Trustee) substantially in the following form:
"State of Wisconsin, (
County S
, being first duly sworn, deposes and
says that he is the Superintendent (or a Trustee) of the
County Asylum for the Chronic Insane and has the keei»
ing and custody of its accounts for clothing furnished the inmates
therein, that the above and foregoing statement of clothing account
charged to other counties, or to the State is accurate and just, that the
value of such clothing so chargeable necessarily furnished each inmate
of said asylum during the fiscal year ending September 30th,
and the sums necessarily expended therefor are correctly stated therein
and that no part of such sums has been paid or previously audited.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this day of
Notary Public."
3. The Board of Supervisors of any county charged with a portion of
the expense of maintaining any person or persons in the Insane Asy-
lum of some other county may at any time request the Trustees of
Euch asylum to furnish it with an itemized account of the articles and
cost of clothing furnished such person, and such Trustee when so re-
quested will be expected to promptly furnish the same. The Board of
Control will adjust any controversy as to the accuracy of such ac-
count.
B£PORT OP THE StATE BOARD OP CONTROL. 55
Orders Issiied by the Board.
V.
If the County Asylum and the County Poor House are under the
same management, the salaries and wages of all officers and employes
whose duties are common to both institutions should be apportioned to
such institutions on the ba^is of the average population of each. The
monthly report of wages and salaries should be made, and the per
capita cost of maintenance in the annual report should be computed
on this basis.
There shall also be kept an account of all the products of the asylum
farm used or consumed in the asylum, or disposed of and the proceeds
so used. The fair market value thereof, or the money received from
the same and so used in each year, shall be deducted from the annual
interest at 4 i)er cent, of the cost of the asylum plant and equipment,
excluding cost of poor-house and equipment, if there be a poor-house
under the same management. The balance represents the net annual
interest on the investment at 4 per cent. This balance should be in-
cluded in the current expense account of the asylum upon which the
per capita cost of maintenance is computed.
VI.
Section 601, R. S., provides that every female over ten years of age
committed to any hospital or asylum for the insane shall be accom-
panied by a competent female. This Board has been astonished to
learn that this most salutary law, demanded by common decency for
the protection of helpless insane women from possible outrage or neg-
lect, has recently been disregarded in two instances, in each of which
an insane woman was brought to the hospital, in one case by a sheriff
alone and in the other by the sheriff and a male assistant only.
Failure to obey this law cannot be tolerated. Hence, Superintend-
ents of hospitals and asylums are directed to report any such failure
to this Board with the name of the delinquent officer, to the end, that
a representation of the facts may be made by this Board to the author-
ity having power to remove such officer.
The above directions were adopted and ordered printed and distrib-
uted April 14th, 1900.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
Mendota, Wisconsin. July 1, 1908.
The Honorable, State Board of Control,
Gentlemen : — In compliance with the law, and the re«jiu\st
of your Honorable Body, I take pleasure in submitting to you
this, the thirteenth biennial report of the Wisconsin State Hos-
pital for the Insane, for the period ending June 30th, 1908.
The daily average patient population of this institution for
the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1904, was 425; for the year
ending June 30th, 1905, 431 ; for the ending June 30th, 1906,
459 ; for the year ending June 30th, 1907, 568 ; and for the year
ending June 3(>th, 1908, 612. There are now beds for 650
patients, and in a few weeks when the new plumbing is com-
pleted and some changes are made, there will be room for ten
more, making a total of 660 beds; thus making it possible to
have a daily average of 630 patients. The improvements made
in the past four years have increased the capacity of this insti-
tution two hundred patients, giving the lowest cost per bed in
the history of the hospital. The cubic space and the ventila-
tion of all the rooms have been considered and all beds located
accordingly. The general health for the biennial period has
been very good; no epidemic and nothing uncommon in the
causes of death have occurred. The mortality has been low and
about the same as in the past thirty years.
The installation of large general bath rooms in the new
building for each sex is of inestimable value in the care and
treatmet of the patients. The patients are bathed twice a week
by means of the shower system, which prevents the use of the
same water for more than one patient. These baths are fol-
lowed by a soap, salt, or plain rub under the direction of the
' physicians in cha^^ge. The general bath rooms and the ward
bathrooms with their new plumbing and their new equipment
furnish complete and up-to-date bathing facilitites.
9--S. B. C.
130 Report of the State Board of Control.
State BJospital,
The congregate dining room with a seating capacity of five
hundred, has proven a great success for the reason that both
food and service are easily observed. The constant attention
given to the kitchen and to the preparation and serving of food
has been conducive to the health, comfort and happiness of the
patients.
The infimarics have been removed from the third floor of the
new building to the first floor3 on either side of the main build-
ing, thus the sick are under better conditions; they are more
easily visited by the physicians; and are more closely observed
by the supervisors at meal time and during any special treat-
ment. Most of them spend nearly the entire day surrounded
by flowers and vines on the recently built porches, which form
part of their wards, and others who are strong enough further
enjoy themselves on the lawn. In case of fire these patients are
insured much better protection than they were under former
conditions. The location, surroundings, and comfort of the in-
fimary patients have been markedly improved."
In May, 1907, I attended a meeting of the National Medieo-
Psychological Society at Washington, D. C, and with the in-
terest of this institution in mind, I visited several of the largest
hospitals in the East, among others the National Hospital at
Washington, D. C, the Manhattan Hospital at New York, the
Battle Creek Sanatarium, Michigan, and the Hospital at Dun-
ning, 111., for the purpose of investigating the most improved
methods in the uses of hydrotherapy, particularly the contin-
uous hot water bath in the treatment of patients during periods
of excitement. Upon my return home, I recommended to your
Honorable Body the installation of this method of treatment,
which mot with your favor and is now nearly completed, and
very soon we shall have in use three tubs on the male side and
four tubs on the female side. For the past year this method of
treatment has been followed as well as possible by the use of
tlie ordinary tub and the results have been very satisfactory.
~t is not expected that the continuous hot water bath will in-
sure a cure for all disturbed patient, but we do anticipate
more recoveries under this method than that of the old method
of troatmont by drugs. The irritation of the nervous system
Report op the State Board op Control. 131
Superintendent's Report,
produced by autointoxication is reduced by the elimination of
poisons from the body and the patient is quieted and refreshed
by sleep.
In the care of patients, employment in and out of doors is
rigidly adhered to. Fresh air, sunlight, and exercise have more
influence on metabolims within the body than all other forces
in nature. All patients unable to perform light manual labor,
but who are physically able, are taken to walk for exercise
two or three times daily . Upon arriving at the hospital, all
new patients are examined, bathed and put to bed for a shorter
or longer period according to the case, for the purpose of ob-
servation, and securing a clinical record, and to cause the pa-
tient to realize that he is in a hospital for treatment.
A pthological laboratory has been recently installed so that
in the future the blood and secretions of a patient can be ex-
amined and a better knowledge of the case gained.
The surgery has been remodeled and equipped with most
approved and up-to-date apparatus.
Amusements have been about the same as in former years and
the usual religious services have been observed.
The stenographer has charge of the library, magazine©,
periodicals, and newspapers and distributes them regularly

By the permission already granted by your Honorable Body,
I am going to place an industrial teacher on the ladies' side
of the institution.
On the first of last May, Dr. Eugene Chaney, who has been
connected with the Hospital for the past ten years and who
for several years had been First Assistant Physician, resigned
to become First Assistant Physician with Dr. Dewey at Wau-
watosa, Wisconsin, at a very much increased salary. Dr. M.
K. Green, who has been in the hospital about six years, was
promoted to First Assistant Physician; Dr. August Sauthoflf,
who has been in the Hospital two years, was promoted to Sec-
ond Assistant Physician; Dr. Willard W. Decker of Chicago,
was elected Third Assistant Physician; and Dr. Mary Blake-
lidge of LaGrange, Illinois, was elected Pathologist and Woman
Physician.
On the first of last April, the salaries of all Charge Atten-
dants were raised and they were classified as officers, the idea
being to elevate them above the average attendant and to con-

stitute them part of the management, hoping thereby to make
them moie interested and more willing to report improper ac-
tions of their assistants. The change has resulted favorably
and the service has been improved.
During the last biennial period there has been no cessation
in making repairs and constructing substantial improvements.
When it is considered that the main buildings are fifty years
old and that for many years no special repairs or improvements
were made, it is evident that a large amount of labor and ma-
terial has been and will be necessary.
Since my last rei)ort the following substantial improvements
have been made: — a power cold storage; an up-to-date bakery
with a Peterson oven, a dough mixer, flour room^ bread room,
work room, work tables and bread cupboards. A water heater
and softener which will improve the water for bathing and
laundry purposes and decrease the soap bill materially, has
been placed in the power house.
The new^ plumbing in the old building for the sixteen ward
bath rooms is about completed and the new plumbing for the
two continuous bath rooms' for the purpose of treatment, will
soon be ready for use.
On account of the injury to walls and plaster during the in-
stallation of the electric li^htino^ system and the general decay
and delapidation of the hospital buildings, it has been necessary
to paint both inside and out, which has cost $5,500.00 for paint
and painters. The entire hospital has now been renovated.
New roofing has been placed on two of the main parts of the
wings of the old building, al^o on the rear center, on the cold
storage, and on the cow shed.
Two hundred iron beds, and bedding for the same, have been
purchased.
Several hundred dollars worth of new furniture has been
made in the carpenter shop by the carpenter and patients, and
a large amount of furniture from all over the hospital has been
repaired and re-upholstered in our shops and made practically
good as new. Wardrobes; cupboards for dishes, brooms, mops,
wood, etc., have been made and are conducive to order and con-
venience.
134 Report op the State Board of Control.
State Hospital.
A small pathological laboratory has been installed with proper
plumbing and fixtures.
The surgery has been remodeled and furnished with a modem
table, sterilizers, and plumbing, which equips it for any kind
of surgical work.
A new method of making and filing reports of cases has been
installed, which includes all the records of a patient in one
folder and relieves the physicians of much writing as the work
is done by the stenographer.
Two large porches have been built of steel and cement in front
of the infirmaries.
A cement walk five feet wide and three fourths of a mile in
length, has been built from the hospital to the railroad station,
and the country road has been parked, graded and protected
by stone gutters.
A cement walk has replaced the board walk in the rear of the
female wing, and a stone gutter has been built from the garden
house along the private drive to the island.
A new railroad scale for the purpose of weighing coal cars
ha3 been placed.
The florist has done much to further beautify the grounds
by planting hundreds of trees and shrubs and making large
rustic and cement vases, which are filled with plants and used
in decorating the lawn. Twenty-five new benches .have been
added to those on the lawn for the* convenience of the patients.
A cement root cellar, 22x60 ft., has been con >tructed.
We have proven it to be profitable to grow potatoes in large
quantities, and so have purchased a potato planter and a potato
spraying machine.
Last spring fifty apple trees were added to the new orchard
which was planted three years ago, making now seven hundred
and fifty trees.
Last year we received fifty-six more patients from our old
district than in 1907, and ^ received seventy-four patients from
the counties of Kenosha, ^...eine, Waukesha and Jefferson, re-
cently added to the district, making one hundred and thirty
more patients admitted to the State Hospital during 1908 than
in 1907, or a total of four hundred and sixty new admissions

for the past year. This condition in the old district shows that
the population in the state is increasing rapidly and that the
state will be obliged in the near future to provide more room
for the acute insane. The capacity of this hospital is only six
hundred and thirty daily average.
The private sanitarium is the rich man's insane hospital, and
the patients taken there for a few weeks or months during the
early stages of a mental or nervous break down, are restored to
family, friends and society, without the legal mark of insanity
placed upon them by the court, the value of which can never
be estimated. Many patients treated in a private sanitarium,
although as much insane as those committed by law to the State
Hospital, are shunned by no one and suffer no stigma. I rec-
ommend that your Honorable Body request the next legislature
to strike the word *' insane'' from every institution in Wiscon-
sin, and that in the future they be recognized as state and
county sanitariums for the treatment and care of mental dis-
orders. Let there be no reminder to the patient of his mental
trouble and allow him the same right to be treated for nervous
diseases as for any other disease.
Statistics show that a much larger per cent of mental troubles
recover if treatment is obtained in the early sta^^c of develop-
ment. Statistics also show that it costs the state on an average,
two thousand dollars to care for a patient who becomes a de-
pendant. If these statements be true, sliould not the state be
anxious both from a humanitarian and a financial standpoint
to provide for its less fortunate citizens the same opportunity
for treatment and recovery in the early stages of mental disease,
that the private sanitarium offers to the rich ? I see no reason
why "Wisconsin should not establish in eonneetitm with its )ios-
pitals for the treatment of acute mental disorders, Psychopathic
cottages, or wards, where any eiti/ien of the state may come of
his own free will and request observation and treatment for
mental, or feared mental trouble, and if, after consultation with
the medical staff of the instituticn, it be decided that he requires
treatment, admission may be gained by the payment to the state
the actual cost of treatment, or if unable to pay, the cost should
be charged to his county. No such citizen should be legally
136 Report of the State Board op Control.
State Hpspital.
committed as insane unless by authority of the physicians in
charge. It : . not intended that the patient who comes volun-
tarily be given treatment a?.y different from that employed in
the case of every patient regularly committed, but the idea is
to make popular the seeking of early treatment without commit-
ment.
The management of the insane has resolved itself into two
great problems: — the treatment of the acute in the beat hospi-
tals possible, employing the best methods known, and without
the legal mark of commitment, and the re-education of the
chronic insane for the purpose of makng them useful in the.
community and for the further purpose of increasing their
own comfort and happiness in the use of their remaining men-
tal faculties.
It is very unfortunate, but a fact nevertheless, that the pop-
ular mind is thoroughly pervaded with the idea that a hospital
for the insane is not a place to help or cure mentally afflicted
persons, nor that those so afflicted should be taken to institu-
tions for treatment at the first appearance of such disorder. All
physicians agree that if early treatment be obtained in the first
stages of development that the number of cases cured would
be increased. With the popular mind in the present state many
people are retained and restrained at home until at last the
disease has become *' incurable" and the unfortunate committed
to some hospital for year?, or for life, for the security of society
and to protect him, it may be, from self destruction. I would
recommend as a matter of educating the people in the different
localities of the Ilaspita] district, that your Honorable Body
request the Ller^islature to pas,s a law requiring the county judge,
district attorney and the chairman of the county board of super-
visors to visit the State Hospital annually and make a report
to the County Board of Supervisors. No other agency could do
more towards teaching the people that State institutions are not
prisons but hospitals, indeed, for care and cure of the inmates.
The members of these boards are of easy access to the people and
many hundreds leani through these members the actual condi-
tions and real merits of the hospital.

Supf nuttuilrht *s Hi [lovt.
I desire to call your attention to the deplorable eondition of
the power house, whieh is fifty years old and woni out. The
laundry' is dire<»tly over the four lar^f* boilers, niakinjif it dan-
gerous to forty people who work there. The niaehin(»r>' in the
laundry is worn out and the eoal shed is praeti(»ally useless, as
it is ready to fall to pieees. Our enfjineer states that thirty per
cent of the fuel is wasted on aeeount of the distance of the
boiler room from the main buildinfrs. Repairs have been con-
stantly demanded and extensive rei>airs are needed now, which
have been estimated to cost $15,000.00. A new power house
could be built for $30,000.00 so there is no eeonomy on the part
of the state to continue repairs when an entirely new plant is
so imperative.
I respectfully recommend to your Honoral)le Body that the
pounds around the hospital buildings be carefully surveyed
and a general plan be made for new buildings, whieh shall in-
clude tw^o cottages — one on the male and one on the female side —
a home for nurses, a new power hou -e, a laundry, and workshops.
The two cottages will increase the capacity of this hospital to
about eight hundred and fifty beds and p:ive opportunity for
better classification of patients and make it possible to have the
Psychopathic w^ards. I would not recommend that your Hon-
orable Body a^k the next Legislature for an ai)propriation to
cover the cost of all these extensive imi)rovements at once, but
that you present a general plan to that body, which, if completed
in a few years, wall place the Wisconsin State Hospital on a
par with the best in the country.
The smokestack has not been repaired or rebuilt, neither has
the receiving house or the morgue been built, for the reasons
that the appropriation of two years ago would not cover the
cost, and because if the power house be removed, a lower drive-
way must be constructed and a receiving house and morgue be
built in a different location from where thev would be under
the present conditions.
I respectfully ask your careful consideration of the appended
statistical tables which show^ the financial and other conditions
of the hospital, and I trust that you will be satisfied that the
management has been as economical as possible compatible with
138 Report of the State Board op Control.

good care and proper treatment of the inmates and employees.
The cost of living could be reduced by the addition of more
land and the patients benefited by the labor afforded. It is a
serious mistake that the state does not own the land lying be-
tween the hospital grounds and the railroad tracks to the east.
With a dancing pavilion, picnic grounds, and campers in such,
close proximity, and all kinds _of careless, curious summer visit-
ors invading the grounds of the institution, the peace and quiet
necessary for the welfare of the inmates is seriously menaced
and the gardens materially depleted.
I wish to tender my thanks and acknowledge my sincere ap-
preciation to the officers and to all employees who have per-
formed faithful and efficient w^ork during this biennial period.
In conclusion, I beg to express my appreciation to your Hon-
orable Body for your valuable suggestions, your generosity,
and your constant and unfailing support while administering
the affairs of the institution.

Farm Forman's Report.
REPORT OF THE FARM FOREMAN.
Mendota State Hospital,
Dr, Chas. Gorst, Supt.,
Mendota, "Wis.
Gentlemen:— I have the honor to submit herewith the first
report of the farm at this institution.
Since entering upon my duties in April last, the progress
made — while not especially striking in any particular direction —
has been steady and substantial in all branches of the work.
Agriculture is the fundamental support of the American Nation,
and soil fertility is the absolute support of agriculture. ''If he
who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before,
Is a public benefactor, then he who reduces the fertility of the
soil so that only one ear of corn grows where two have been
grown before, is a public curse. ' '
The soil has two distinct functions to perform in crop produc-
tion. Pirst,' the soil must furnish a home for the plant where
the roots can penetrate the earth upon which the plant must
stand. Second, the soil must furnish plant food, or nourish-
ment, for the growth, development and maturing of the plant.
To improve the physicial condition of the soil is to improve the
home of the plant; while to add to the soil, or to liberate from
the soil fertilizing materials, is to increase the available supply
of plant food. .
The land at this institution falls short of these two functions.
It is quite necessary to begin at once. First, to prepare a home
for the plants by a thorough and scientific method of plowing,
and to do this we must have first class plows, of which this in-
stitution is devoid. Second, in order to furnish plant food we
must plan a system of crop rotation, which on account of the
demand upon the farm by the institution for a greater produc-
tion of potatoes and corn than cereals, which are required in
140 Report op the State Board op Control.
State Hospital.
' — —
rotation, this fertility will have to be kept up by the produc-
tion of barnyard manure, which calls forth some immediate im-
provements such as a manure vat; manure carriers to convey
the manure from horse and cattle bams to the vat, there to de-
compose ; then to be conveyed to the soil by the means of manure
spreaders, two of which we are in need. Then in order to do
this plowing and fertili^zing satisfactorily, we will have to have
horses, of which we are now practically without. There are at
present fifteen head of horses: — Four driving; eleven work
horses. Of the eleven, two are used by the gardener, one by the
lawnman, and one dray horse; five are worthless other than for
plug service. These horses should be sold and replaced with
extra heavy draft horses of the Percheron breed.
The milch cows, of which we have fifty-seven head, forty of
which are giving milk, are an average grade of dairy cattler
producing quantity less quality in milk.
The hogs are of the Poland China br^ed and are all that one
could ask for in the way of breeding and fattening.
The crops consist of oats, corn, hay and potatoes. Oats fol-
lowing a crop of corn, for which the ground the previous year
had been heavily manured, was of extra quality and a good yield,
producing an average of sixty bushels per acre. Corn, of which
thirty-three acres was of poor quality, being planted on ground
that had been producing corn until the fertility was gone; this
ground will have to be heavily fertilized and properly rotated,
which will take some two or three years to bring it to a crop
producing condition. Fifty acres of this corn will produce on
an average of forty bushels per acre, about two-thirds of what
it should produce, partly on account of the season and also the
lack of rotation and fertilization. The hay crop was an extra
yield, due to the continued rains in the spring, being two hun-
dred, sixty-five tons from fifty acres, this being the second crop
on a part of the ground and a third on part of it, this ground
should be plowed under and put into corn or potatoes, yet be-
cause of the lack of sowing grass seed this spring, and the kill-
ing out of what was sown, this land will have to produce an-
other hay crop.
Report op the State Board op Control. 141
Farm Foreman^ s Report,
The potato crop will make a yield of about two-thirds of what
it should ; partly because of the drouth at the time the potatoes
were making themselves and partly on account of the lack of
the fertility of the soil.
Now in order to. place this farm ir the condition it should
be in, w^e will, in order to get crop rotation, have to produce less
corn and potatoes and more cereals and grass for at least two
or three years, then gradually drop back to the production of
com and potatoes.
Thus I recommend the disposal of five of the work horses and
the purchase of five Percheron, or any other good draft breed.
The purchase of four follow ground plows.
The purchase of two manure spreaders; the building of a
manure vat, and the eciuipping the cattle and horse barns with
manure carriers.
Respectfully submitted,
M. J. Freidline,
Fanner.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
Winnebago, Wis., July 1, 1908.
To the Honorable State Board of Control:
The thirteenth biennial report of the Northern Hospital for
the Insane — from July 1st, 1906 to July 1st, 1903 — is herewith
submitted. The usual tables showing "movement of popula-
tion" etc. are appended.
The two years have been comparatively uneventful.
There has been of course the customary and inevitable anxiety
and labor.
Two cases of small pox and several of varioloid developed in
Ma;y, 1908. I notified the State Board of Health, and Dr. W. F.
Whyte, the President of the Board, came promptly and advised
as to the management of the outbreak. All of the cases re-
covered without complication. The occurrence of this dreaded
and dreadful disease will be prevented in the future, as we
now vaccinate all patients and employes who come into the
Hospital.
There have been a number of improvements of a minor
character duri::g the two year3. These are set forth in the re-
ports of the carpenter, mason and engineer, which are annexed.
The financial standing of the Ilcspital has been brought low
because of unavoidable repairs.
The front hall, which was of wood, was worn out and a tile
floor was put in its place. Tile floors were also laid in the
bakery and engine room at a total cost of $1,536.00.
The barns were decayed and about ready to fall down, so that
cement foundations were laid under them and cement floors were
also put in and the structures vv^ere removed to a greater dis-
tance from the Hospital at an expense of $4,120.23.
On account of the decayed condition of the ice storage plant,
it became necessary to either rebuild the old plant or put in a
174 Report op the State Board of Control.

Northern Hospital.
new one, and the decision of the Board of Control to install
a modern chemical cold storage plant for the institution neces-
sitated the expenditure of $7,364.52. The North wing of the
Hospital and the barn-j were reroofed at an expense of $2,141.14.
Wages have been higher and food has been more expensive.
For these reasons the appt'opriation by the last legislature was
not sufficient for the absolute needs of the institution.
The efficiency of the Hospital is lessened by the constant
changes in the force of employes.
The office of hospital attendant is not an occupation or a pro-
fession. It is a temporary job for a man or woman, who is wait-
ing for something to turn up. Not over one attendant in fifty
intends to remain at the work any length of time. The rea-
sons arc well known. The w^ork is hard, the hours long, the
pay small, and there are practically no chances for promotion.
It is work without a future. Twelve to fifteen hours a day of
watching, waiting on and assqciating with insane persons is a
very trying business. The trials of women attendants are es-
pecially laborious and exasperating. It is a wonder that we are
able to obtain women to do this work.
For the State to refuse appropriations big enough to permit
the paying of reasonable wages to hospital attendants is a
barbarous proceeding.
It requires 160 people to do the work in this hospital. Dur-
ing the biennial period just closed there were 554 persons on
the pay rolL These persons as a rule have had no practice in
the work they engaged in. They are merely herders. The
insane need educated associates who can utter intelligent sen-
tences at the proper moment.
There is no place on earth where ^'a word fitly spoken" is so
needed as among the insane, and no i)lace where such words are
so scarce. The ideal hospital attendant should have the pa-
tience of Job, the strength of Sandow, the psychological in-
sight of Wm» James, and the companion of Jesus.
Many of those who have been ':: 3 in the years that are gone
had none of these qualities.
If the occupation were made remunerative, so that people
RaPORT OF THE StATB BOARD OP CONTROL. 175
Superintefude^it's Report,
would wi«h to continue in the service, a more desirable olass of
employes would come to us.
Many of those now here are excellent persons, but in two
years they will nearly all be working at something that pays
better*
It is quitfe probable that every year in this hospital eight ot
ten (may be more) persons become permanently insane through
being under the care of ignorant arid indifferent herdets. ' »'
This i*epresents a large money loss to the State, so that there
is fto real economy in continuing this ancient method because
it appeaw to be cheap. It is certain that the antiquated usages
arie expensive.
When it comes to the humanity side of the question, a vol-
ume should be written to show the suffering in desolated homes,
and the long years of waiting for the merciful funeral from the
County Asylum.-
In all the progressive States of the Union the Hospital at-
tendants have Gottajges to which they can retire when the day's
work is done, where they can enjoy themselves without disturb-
ing the patients. The reasons are many and well known for
having the attendants away from the wards, and these have
been set forth many times, and so far to unheeding ears.
The epileptics should have a place apart from the ordinary
im^ane.
The reasons for this separation are well Imown to all Who
know anything about hospital management, and in the humane
States especial provision has been made for these unfortunates.
The care of the insane is one of the most momentous and
costly problems with which the State has to deal. It is there-
fore of importance that legislators should be instructed in the
various phases of the subject. An academic knowledge is not
sUfflijient to move legislators to action.
Personal investigation of the institutions is the only effective
method of enlightenment.
The failure to give the insane wards of this State as good
treatment as other States give the same class is a disgrace to us.
The issues involved are as grave as any matter of taxes; ed-
ucation, railway legislation or other subject that comes before
176 Report op the State Board op Control.

of the legislature appropriaticns large enough will be made to
put Wisconsin in the ranks with New York, Illinois, Massachu-
setts and other humanitarian communities.

The old pump house at the lake has been utilized as a treat-
ment house for women.
Every day in the year except the warm days in summer and
fall, ten women patients and two or three attendants are sent
to the house (which has been designated as the Winnebago
Academy of Domestic Science), where they spend the day.
They prepare their own meals, read, sew, sing, etc., and after
the evening meal return to the Hospital. This is one of the
most helpful of all the various devices for directing the minds
of patients into healthy channels. The cost of fitting up the
*' Academy'' was $563.58.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
Delavan, Wis., July 1, 1908.
To the State Board of Control:
Gentlemen : The close of another biennial period, the
third of my tenure here, makes it my duty to report to you
upon the condition, progress and needs of this school. I, there-
fcwe, take pleasure in submitting to you this Thirteenth Bien-
nial and Fifty-sixth Annual Report of the Wisconsin School
for the Deaf.
GENERAL CONDITION OP THE SCHOOL.
The biennial period just closed has witnessed conditions here
that have been very satisfactory. The three-fold ideal which
this school stands for is to make each student intellectually
bright, industrially capable and morally sound. Through the
faithful and efficient efforts put forth ])y tlio offiecx i and teach-
ers this ideal has been more nearly approached during the past
biennial period than at any previous time within my knowl-
edge. We have just graduated a class of eighteen members,
nine young men and nine young women. The average capabil-
ity of the members of this class is way beyond that of most
deaf young men and women and will, indeed, compare credit-
ably with many hearing ones. I have been in public and nor-,
mal school work all of my life but I have never gr-aduated a
class of hearing people whose average strength of character
excels that of these deaf graduates. They have finished their
academic course which includes all of the common branches
taught in graded schools for the hearing with some high school
work, as in Bookkeeping, English History, General History,
Civics and a few other branches. Four members of this class
have taken their examinations for admission to Gallaudet Col-
lege at Washington, D. C, and have been admitted. Each

THIRTEENTH BIENNIAL REPORT
OF THE
WISCONSIN SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF
AT DELAVAN, WISCONSIN
For the Biennial Period Ending June 30th, 1908.
222 Report op the State Board op Control.
Wisconsin School for the Deaf.
tered. This with the decoration of the same and of the main
corridor in the administration building will cost approximately
$1,300.00.
Our heat plant is already taxed to its uttermost. In fact in
extreme weather it can not do the work put upon it now. The
new buildings already completed and in process of construction
makes it absolutely essential that we have one more heat unit
consisting pf one boiler 72 in. by 16 ft. with furnace. There
is no room for this in our present boiler room and an excava-
tion must be made under the roadway between the refrigerator
building and laundry. This will be a somewhat expensive
place in which to install the furnace and boiler but there is no
other available space. This will cost $3,000.00.
We need more coal room. Our present sheds hold nearly five
hundred tons, not quite half a year's supply, and we experience
so much trouble in trying to get the coal during the fall and
early winter months that we should have our capacity increased
at least three hundred tons. Besides thi^, we now keep our hard
coal for range use in the wood shed, a long distance from the
kitchen and in a building that is now only temporary and will
soon be adandoned. The new shed should include a place for
this anthracite coal. This will cost about $3,500.00.
The administration building, the boys' dormitory and the
school house need re-shingling. The estimated cost of this is
$500.00. Our hog pen, never well arranged, and now partially
decayed, looks entirely out of place by the side of our new bam.
I recommend that a new hog pen be erected at a cost of $600.00.
In the erection of the new industrial building a place was re-
served and foundation laid for two bowling alleys. As offering
a wise opportunity for wholesome exercise for boys who are
quite closely housed during the long winter months I recommend
that the alley be now placed upon this foundation. The cost will
be about $800.00.
It seems to me that we ought to have land enough so that we
might raise all of the vegetables needed in this school and most
of the feed for the horses and cows. The addition of from forty
to sixty acres would I believe be a money saving proposition for
us. This would cost in the neighborhood of $8,000.00. A move
Report of the State Board op Control. 223
SuperinteTident's Report,
in this direction would be to increase the effectiveness of our
present low pasture by underdraining. This will cost about
$600.00.
Our water tank is in the attic of the main building. It has
been in constant use since 1881. It is somewhat pitted although
could probably be used a time longer, but I think the place is
thoroughly objectionable and it is too small to supply an institu-
tion of this size. We should have an outside ten thousand gal-
lon tank erected on a steel frame. The cost of such a one would
be about $1,200.00 including the substructure.
The forge room in the new industrial building has never
been equipped. We have, of course, the old equipment which
we had in the old building but it ii not sufficient now. To add
four forges and furnish an exhauster and motor with the neces-
sary additional tools will cost $600.00.
As you know I have been very anxious to secure a bowling
alley here in the new indus^'rial building. There is an excellent
room for it and the foundation timbers were set when the build-
ing was erected last year. Two alleys put in this room will
cost $800.00. This might seem an unnecessary expenditure to
some people but when it is recalled that I have over one hun-
dred boys here who have no long distance to travel to school
and therefore, no opportunity for working off surplus physical
energy during the long winter months, the conclusion is clear
that such an opportunity for physical exercise as a bowling
alley gives is a real mora! uplift.
All of the above recommendaticns 1 hope your body will urge
upon the legislature at its next session. I know the objection
will be raised thj t a good deal was dene for us two years ago.
This is true and I am deeply grateful for it, but for many,
many years nothing?; was done in the way of giving this school
a modem equipment and that Icng neglect can not be made up
by a single appropriation. I am ambitious for this school and
shall not rest until we are able to do as much for our students
as is done in any similar school in the country. It will be fur-
ther argued that because of many other demands upon the legis-
lature our appropriation must suffer. This argument means that
the deaf are to be made to pay for the needs of other classes
224 Report of the State Board op Control.
Wisconsin School for the Deaf,
of unfortunates. I would not argue against the establishment
of any worthy institution that w4U provide comfort and better
training for any class of defectives but I do object strenuously
to the argument that because the state establishes other institu-
tions the income for institutions already established must be
cut down» This in effect supports one class of unfortunates at
the expense of another instead of at the expense of the able
bodied people of the state.
attendance.
There have been enrolled in this institution during the past
biennial period 243 students. This is an increase of 8 over the
last biennial period. Of these 103 are girls and 140 are boys.
Statistics of attendance will be given on succeeding pages.
I also append a copy of the year book which will set forth to
you much more detailed information regarding the work of this
institution.
It is a matter of great gratification to be able to state that
while the executive committee has not yet held its formal meet-
ing, nevertheless, six out of its seven members who were pre-
sent at the Ogden convention stated definitely that they favored
Wisconsin as the next meeting place for the convention to be
held in the summer of 1911. I believe this will be a real uplift,
to Wisconsin education of the deaf. It in itself constitutes a
compliment to our state which was also honored by being given
the chairmanship of two of the most important sections of the
convention, the normal and the industrial sections. No other
state was so favored. I trust it is not out of place for me to
express here publicly my high appreciation of the faithfulness,
zeal and efficiency manifested by the officers and teachers of
this school and to express to your honorable body my gratitude
for the many evidences of confidence you have reposed in me.
Your constant support of my plans and sympathetic interest
in the welfare of this institution has made my work exceedingly
pleasant.

SUPERINTENDENT 'S REPORT.
Janesville, Wis., July 1, 1908.
To the Hon, State Board of Control of Charitable, Beformatory
and Penal Institutioois :
Gentlemen: — In the performance of my duty I have the
pleasure to submit herewith the report of the "Wisconsin School
for the Blind for the biennial period ending June 30, 1908.
Although there must of necessity be much similarity in the
biennial report of this Institution, as well as the other institu-
tions under your control, we are glad to avail ourselves of the
opportunity to give to the public a brief account of what has
transpired concerning the work and progress ofl our people during
the past two years. The one thing to be regretted moat is that
the information embodied in these various reports comes before
the eye of but few of the citizens of our state, who, we are con-
vinced, are sadly lacking in their knowledge of what is being
accomplished in our institutions. ''Pity 'tis, 'tis true," for
this fact is largely responsible for the prejudice so deeply seated
in the minds of so many persons against institutions in general.
That this prejudice results primarily in the lowering of the
educational standard, and secondarily in the increase of cost,
and responsibility on the part of the state in caring for its
afflicted classes cannot be seriously questioned. One is fur-
nished much food for thought and reflection along these lines,
when apparently intelligent people ask our pupils, while they
are en route to and from their homes, if they have windows in
the school building, and even manifest surprise when they learn
that we actually have lights, and that the pupils do not have
to be fed and led around to their classes and other places. In-
ferentially it is not strange that we are frequently referred
to as an asylum, or home, instead of a school. We wish some
method could be followed, whereby the people of our state
254
Report of the State Board of Controu
Wi'Sicoymji School for the Blind,
could become more familiar with its institutions, and this one
in particular, and not be limited in their information to a re-
port or an occasional newspaper clipping. It has been our
aim to work through the public school system of the state, in
order that children who are being deprived of the chances to
secure an education therein, on account of defective vision,
may be sent to us. While we have secured some co-operation
from school officers and teachers, it is not at all what we believe
it should be, and very few of the county superintendents do
their full duty by reporting these cases as provided by law.
Although we have a compulsory law, it does not seem to com-
pel, and there is good reason to believe that many blind child-
ren, and it is doubtless quite true with the deaf, are growing
up in ignorance, even though advantageous facilities for an
education are at hand. It seems to us that if a state agent, or
field officer, could be provided, whose duty it would be to travel
over the state and give talks on our institutions, and at. the same
time look up children that should be in this school, or at Dela-
van, or some other school so equipped as to provide them with an
education, and enforce their attendance by law, when necessary,
much good might be accomplished, and in the end a saving
would accrue to the state. "While on this subject of familiar-
izing the public with oiir institutions, I wish to say that I believe
that the policy inaugurated by your Honorable Board two years
ago, of having as many members of the legislature as possible
personally visit the different institutions before the convening
of the legislative session, was productive of immeasurable good.
About one ninth of the members visited this school, and went
away with a clearer idea of the life and work that was being
carried on here.

Superintendent's Report,
It will be noticed by comparing the last two with the previous
two years, that there has been some falling off in our enroll-
ment, and more so with the males than with the females. There
appears to be no very satisfactory way to account for this, ex-
cept for the fact that several of our larger boys had reached
an age when they thought they ought to be out in the world
doing for themselves, and, consequently, sacrificed the finishing
years of their course for a fancied commercial advantage. Our
graduating class for last year was a little larger than for some
years past, consisting of one young lady and three young men.
This year it was back to two again, with each sex represented,
and if all the seniors return in the fall, it promises to be an
unusually large class for the coming year: vJz., five young
ladies and four young men.
There have been a number of changes in our staff since the
last report, caused by more alluring salaries elsewhere, changes
in vocation, leave of absence, etc., but with possibly one excep-
tion, we are con^dent no loss was suffered by the change. We
sincerely believe that two years of successful and progressive
work have been accomplished. We have not been sorely tried
by questions of discipline, and the spirit of willingness and
cheerfulness manifested by the pupils, and the faithful and
efficient service rendered by the teachers and employes, is a sub-
ject for much commendation.
literary.
•
The establishment of a course of study anticipated in our
last report, has been productive of much good in several ways.
Our pupils are now graded more carefully, despite irregu-
larity in their ages and degree of previous preparation, and it
it pleasing to report that a number in the junior and senior
classes are already making plans, for the first time in years, to
pursue work in higher inistitutions of learning after finishing
the course here. There are several features about the work of our
pupils, that need be given more attention such as writing and a
better knowledge of business methods. Apparently slight atten-
tion has been given to these subjects in times past, with the result
that too many of the pupils in our high school branches are

unable to write with a pencil or pen, when they should be able
to at least sign their names. Inasmuch as a number' of the
graduates of this school have been successfully engaged in
business, it does seem as though instruction in the elementary
principles of commercial law and practical training in book-
keeping and business methods, would greatly assist pupils who ex-
pect to deal.in a business way with the public, and it shall be our
endeavor to increase the efficiency of the course along these lines.
MUSICAL department.
In a musical way we have advanced even more than could
reasonably be expected, when all the unfavorable conditions
and circumstances are taken into consideration. In the first
place, it so happened that nearly all of the members of the las^
two graduating classes were well advanced in music, both vocal
and instrumental. When we add to them the other pupils who
dropped out of school, a large majority of whom were also
musical, the real situation can be better understood. Large
gaps were made in our orchestra and chorus, and in the latter
it has proved extremely unfortunate, for we have been lacking
for several years in male voice i, and it will doubtless be some
time yet before we can fill the void. We were not crippled
quite so badly in the orchestra, as we have considerable young
material that seems very promising. The young ladies' and the
young men's quartettes also suffered on account of the absentees.
In the second place, Mrs. J. H. Jones, who has had charge of
the piano and organ work for a great many years, obtained a
year's leave of absence to travel in Europe, and a substitute
teacher was engaged to take her plaee during the year just
closed, and her work was carried out very satisfactorily.
Nevertheless there is always a change of interest on the part
of the pupils when teachers are thus substituted, and in spite
of the best efforts shown, the work is bound to suffer to a greater
or less degree. Notwithstanding these several obstacles, we
have felt much pride in the advance made in our musical de-
partment. Our proficient pupils have been called upon on
numerous occasions to take a place on the program at various
church exercises^ reeit^aLs, conventions^ etc, while the orches-

tra has become so favorably known that it is unable to accept all
of the engagements offered to play at the high school com-
mencement exercises in adjoining cities. While the pupils al-
ways give a regular commencement recital, they are also given
frequent opportunity to appear at the literary and rhetorical
programs and social gatherings, and thereby wear off any timid-
ity they might otherwise have in appearing before an audience.
It has become a regular practice with us to give an Easter Ves-
per Concert, consisting of instrumental and vocal numbers, and
some light oratorio or cantata by the chorus. So popular have
these become that on Easter afternoon for the last two years,
the seating capacity of the gymnasium has been taxed to its ut-
most to accommodate the visitors. One of the greatest handi-
caps we have to contend with at the present time is the lack of
good instruments. If our work is to progress, it is impera-
tive that we have some new first-class pianos. Of this more
will be said under the subject of our needs.
industrial department.
There has been little change in the different industrial de-
partments. The classes in manual training have shown much
interest in their work, and some very creditable pieces of furni-
ture, such as desks, tabourets, book and magazine racks, and the
like, have been turned out by them. The wisdom of establish-
ing of such a course, particularly for the blind, has been suc-
cessfully demonstrated by the results already abtained, and we
regret that we have not yet been able to satisfactorily arrange
for classes in this work for the girls. However, they have done
somie very nice work in their sewing classes, and many of the
articles made by them, put on display, find ready purchase.
The cooking classes last year were sources of earnest attention
and effort, but during the past year we have been unable to
carry them on on account of conflicting class periods and a
change of housekeeper, who has charge of this work. We plan
to resume them, however, the coming year. There have been
about the usual number taking instruction in weaving and wil-
low work, and while we have no authentic report in regard to

258 Report of the State Board of Control.
Wisconsin School for the Blind,
the number of pupils that have taken up weaving after leaving
the school, we feel certain that the blind, with slight assistance,
can pursue this work with no small degree of success. As for
the willow work, there is tangible evidence at hand of its avail-
ability as a' means of profitable occupation. Quite a number
of our former pupils are now at work in the workshop for the
blind, in Milwaukee, and are earning good wages. In truth,
one of them has become so expert, and able to earn such good
wages that it has deadened his ambition for an education, and
he has permanently dropped out of school, a circumstance greatly
to be deplored in his particular ca:e. Feeling that this one in-
stance is the exception to the rule, we see no reason to change
our opinion, and still maintain that the willow work is a re-
munerative source of employment for the blind. The instruc-
tion they receive while here really accomplishes a two fold pur-
pose, in that they learn sufficiently about it to enable them to
take up the work in the workshop without being obliged to
sacrifice any expen-^e or time as an apprentice, and the time
devoted to it here did not detract any from their work, but in
most instances was an utilization of time that would otherwise
have been wasted. Some forty pupils are daily receiving in-
struction in the use of the typewriter, and many have become
so dexterous in its use that one could not tell that the work
was done by a blind person. We are juvSt at present consider-
ing the advisability of putting in some machines of different
makes, as all of our machines are of one kind, the Remington,
thinking by so doing that the pupils would thereby become fa-
miliar with the different style of key boards. Piano tuning
still holds out the greatest attraction for our young men. There
were 18 carrying the work last year, and ]3 the past year. In
the reports received from pupils who have finished the course
and gone out in different parts of the state to tune, we find a
source of much encouragement to those planning to choose it for
tlieir occupation. There is one matter in this connection that
I wish to particularly direct your attention, and that is the
need of an automatic piano i)layer for the use of this depart-
ment. This wonderful invention, while known under many dif-
ferent names, has one basic principal on construction, and in-
r

Superintendent \s Repoti,
asmuch as they are becoming so general in their use, our tuners
are going to be seriously handicapped if they go out from* here
without a detailed knowledge of the construction of this attach-
ment, and the ability to repair it the same as the instrument
itself. Furthermore, the installation of one of these players,
which I understand are now made as a part of the piano, and
therefore might constitute one of the number of new instruments
needed and referred to in anothr part of this report. It would
be advantageous in another respect: viz., it would be the means
of placing before the pupils pursuing the musical course all of
the compositions of the great masters, with which they could be-
come familiar in no other way, and the value of which is im-
measurable. To be sure, such playing would be somewhat me-
chanical and lacking in expresuon, but to the student this would
be insignificant as compared to the knowledge they would ac-
quire of the technique.
PHYSICAL culture:
Regular and systematic exercises in gymnastics have been
given to all the pupils, and also considerable special individual
work, which has resulted in improving the phy.dcal condition of
most of them. No one longer questions the necessity for build-
ing up a strong body in order to build up a strong mentality,
and, as has been repeatedly stated, our pupils need more at-
tention in this particular line than normal children, and their
physical work should be ^o supervised as to bring out the best
that can be developed in both body and mind. Every year we
can notice marked improvement in the courage and self reliance of
our pupils, and it is directly traceable to their physical training.
During the winter season games and drills have been held in
the gymnasium, while in the fall and spring outdoor sports have
been carried on. A basket ball team from among the pupils
was formed last winter, and played many an interesting game
with a team composed of teachers. This last spring a National
Athletic Association of the Schools for the Blind was formed,
and sixteen of the state schools have already joined. An an-
nual telegraphic field contest is to be held on the third Saturday
260 Report of the State Board of Control.
Wisconsin School for the Blind,
of each May, and trophies awarded to the school scoring the
highest number of points. Owing to the late date at which this
organization was perfected, and the unusual lateness of the open-
ing of the spring season, we were greatly handicapped in train-
ing for the several events in the test recently held, and were,
therefore, not greatly disappointed in our failure to carry off
high honors. We plan to lay out a running track this fall, and
make early preparations for next year's meet, and confidently
believe that in this new association a much needed stimulus has
been found for athletic progress and development. One of the
strongest features of this organization is that the several tests
of strength and skill are had on our own grounds, while simul-
taneously they are being held at the different state schools, and
the results promptly wired to the Central Committee, thereby
maintaining the spirit of competition, and at the same time
economizing in time and money, that would necessarily involve
were they to meet at a central place for the tests. No arrange-
ments have been perfected so far for events for the girls, but
it is hoped that such steps will be taken in due time that will
enable them to compete in these annual tests.
Our pupils are anxiously looking forward to the time when
our new music building will be completed, and they can have
the use of the swimming pool to be constructed in the basement
thereof. That this will prove of incalculable benefit to our
people, has been fully demonstrated by those schools so equipped.
LIBRARY.
Both the ink print and embossed libraries have been sources
of constant interest and occupation. In fact, it is safe to say
that since our last report the amount of reading and reference
work that has been done in the point library has increased nearly
fifty per cent. This rate of increase is also proportionately true
in the circulation of our point books to blind readers throughout
the state. It has been some years since any quantity of books
was added to our embossed library, and after the necessary text
books are purchased, very little of the U. S. government fund
is left to be applied for this purpose. The result is that we are
not keeping abreast of the times in providing our people with
Bepobt op the State Board op Control. 261
Superintendent's Report.
the best literature that can be had for them. Furthermore, the
constant passing back and forth through the mails of the large
and cumbersome point books, even though well encased in heavy
canvas bags, is extremely hard and wearing on them, and we
have reached a stage where we must spend considerable money
in rebinding and replacing a number of them. To this we will
refer again under the subject of our needs. To the usual supply
of daily papers and leading magazines and periodicals that come
to our tables, there have been added in the past two years two
very interesting and worthy publications. I refer to The Out-
look for the Blind, an ink print quarterly, published at Boston,
Mass., by Chas. F. F. Campbell, under the auspices of the Mass.
Society for the blind. It handles in an able and progressive
manner all matters relating to the education and welfare of the
blind, both here and abroad, and has already proven that there
was a pressing need for such a publication. The other reference
is to the Mathilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind, printed in
New York through the instrumentality of a wealthy widow lady,
by the name of Ziegler. This lady was long anxious to devote
some of her wealth to a good cause, and after thorough investi-
gation of different things, decided she could render valuable
service and fill a long felt want by publishing' and circulating,
practically free of charge, a monthly magazine printed in both
N. Y. point and braille, so that it could be read by every blind
person in the United States who was able to read. She secured
the services of Mr. W. G. Holmes as manager and editor, and
what he has accomplished in making this most worthy produc-
tion a success in le,s than two years time, is something really
marvelous. The magazine consists cf about fifty pages of printed
matter, and is published monthly, and its contents compare
favorably with many of the leading ink print magazines. We
know of nothing that has proven a source cf greater interest
and joy to the blind, and one thing is certain, that whether Mrs.
Ziegler is conscious of it or hot, she has through this philan-
thropic act built for herself and name an enduring monument,
and deserves a place in the Hall of Fame. In order that all
readers of books from our circulating library may become
thoroughly familiar with the provinons of the law passed by

SOCIAL LIFE.
There has been the usual amount of social activity during the
past two years. Some very interesting debates have been held
by both the Lincoln and White Rose Literary Societies, also a
number of rhetorical and musical exerciser. The Christian En-
deavor, the Junior League and the Sunshine Club have carried
on their respective w^ork with much devotion and enthusiasm,
and beside the regular Saturday night parties, which are looked
forward to so eagerly and enjoyed so much, a number of socials
have been held at opportune times throughout the school years.
That these various social gatherings have wielded a powerful
and healthful influence on the minds of the pupils cannot be
doubted, and it is equally true that they have proven a strong
factor in the matter of discipline.
RELIGION.
There has been no change whatever in our Sabbath day ob-
servance, and the assignment of the two Sunday services, one at
nine in the morning for Sunday School, and the other at seven
in the evening for general services, has been found very satis-

factory. The Christian Endeavorers hold a regular meeting on
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the attendance of which is en-
tirely voluntary. While the pupils are required to attend the
morning and evening services, those of suitable age are priv-
ileged to attend the churches of their preference in the city,

health.
•
The general health of the school has been far above the aver-
age. We must have endured the full" limit of affliction the year
prior to our last report, for we have not had one case of conr
tagion since that time. In fact, the physician who has been in
attendance here for the last twenty-five years, says he never has
visited the school as little as during the past two years. Our
ailments have been all of the light and ordinary kind commonly
found among young people. We are grieved, however, to re-
port the death of one of our young men, Carl Frederick Hoff-
mann during the summer vacation of 1907. He died at his
home in South Milwaukee on the 4th day of August, after an
illness of but a few days, of tumor of the brain. Carl, or Fred,
as he was commonly known by us here, was eighteen years of
age, and was just passing over the threshhold from youth to
manhood. He pcs-essed many traits of character that will cause
his early demise to be deeply lamented. Notwithstanding this
most favorable condition of health, we have no assurance that
it will prevail for any definite length of time, and the arrival
of that unwelcome day will, unless better facilities are provided,
find us as helpless as before to cope with and stamp out a con-
tagious disease. To this we will refer again under the subject
of our needs.
improvements and needs.
A number of much needed improvements have been made in
the past two years. A new roof has been put on the barn, also
a portion of one on the power house has been renewed. A 40 ft.
brick addition has been made to the west end of the latter build-
ing, providing us with a coal shed that permits of the storing
264 Report of the State Board of Controu
Wisconsin School for the Blind,
of from five to six months' supply of coal. On the east end a
brick addition of 32 ft. has been added for the housing of the
horizontal water tanks, that form a part of our new water sys-
tem. These tanks, which are three in number, and each 7 ft. in
diameter and 28 ft. long, provide an ample reserve capacity, and
by being connected with an air compressor, a sufficient pressure
is obtained to supply the uppermost portions of the building, and
give good fire protection. This is a much more economical, and, we
believe, advantageous system than the elevated tank system, and
has proven very satisfactory as far as completed, but until we
have drilled another well, and put in another pump and air
compressor, we will not feel that we have an adequate and in-
dependent water supply of our own. This will be necessary for
the reason that the rate now charged by the Water Company
is much higher than we paid two years ago, which the company
alleges is due to the passage of the public utility bill. It was
our plan at the time w^e asked for the appropriation to install
this system, to put in only the tanks and compressor, but in-
asmuch as the w^ater company insist on an exorbitant price
for leaving their water in cur mains and hydrants, for reserve
purposes only, and as it would be hazardous to cut it off entirely
with the facilities we now have for meeting emergencies, it would
seem to be good economy to put in a duplicate outfit, and we
would then be entirely protected and independent. This pump
and compressor should be electric driven, because of the fact that
we have to pump water during the summer vacation months,
when we do not fire our boilers, and, therefore, cannot have
steam for our present machinery. By using the city electric
current during that time, it would enable us to operate at small
expense. For the completion of this water system we will need
$1,000.00. You, of course, do not need to be reminded of the
fact that you recently took action to carry out the will of the
Legislature in awarding a contract for the construction of a new
music building. If the plans are carried out, there is every
reason to believe that before the first of January, 1909, we will
have reali'zed a longfelt want, and have our music department
housed in a suitable and separate building. This arrangement,
together with a fine swimming tank and shower baths provided

for in the basement thereof, will prove of inestimable benefit
to our school.
While the Legislature at its last session, was very considerate
of our demands, and made an appropriation for the installing
of an elevator in the main building, it was found that the amount
appropriated was not sufficient for the purpose, and the matter
has consequently been held in abeyance. While on this subject
we would like to report that the old dummy waiter that is op-
erated by hand, and that carries the food from the kitchen to
the first and second floors, is in a very dilapitated condition,
and has caused much trouble and inconvenience in getting the
food to its proper destination in a clean and palatable condi-
tion, not to speak of the expense that has been caused in the
breakage of large quantities of dishes. Now that we have our
own water and electric supply, we should have a dummy waiter
operated by one of these methods that could be depended upon.
In addition to the amount heretofore appropriated for the pur-
pose, it would probably require an additional $1,000.00 to prop-
erly install the two elevators.
Two years ago we laid considerable stress upon the pressing
need of a building for isolation purposes, and it was a source of
deep regret that the Legislature, in the exercises of their judg-
ment, did not see it as we did. Glad, indeed, we are that no
outbreak has cccurred to more vividly impress this fact upon
the responsible parties. Nevertheless, we are still in the same
helpless condition as we were three years ago when we were
fitricken, and what we said in our last report concerning the
need of isolation facilities at this kind of an Institution, of all
institutions, is just as true now as it was then, and we sincerely
trust that some adequate arrangements will be provided us be-
fore an outbreak, resulting in possible fatalities, may occur.
A portion of the tile floor in the main corridor has been re-
laid, and hardwood floors have been put in some of the basement
corridors, the reception room, officers and teachers' dining room,
also in the superintendent's parlor and dining room. All of
the roofs have been thoroughly covered with paint, as has also
all of the wood work in the main building, with the exception
of the ^rls' si(}e. A cement walk has been laid along the
266 Report op the State Board of Control.

front of the south lawn, and will do away with the pupils walk-
ing through the quantities of mud and water that they have
frequently encountered there. A new walk must be laid along
State St., where it connects our grounds with the city. The old
board walk has been in a bad state of repair for some time, and
only by constant watching and replenishing of a plank now and
then, have we been able to avoid an accident. There is some-
thing over 5,000 sq. ft. of this, and with the new walks leading
to the several separate entrances of the new building, a sum not
less than $700.00 will be needed for their construction.
The roof on the trades building, on account of its age, has
long since passed its day of usefulness, and considerable money
has already been expended in patching it up to protect the in-
terior of the building. It is fal:e economy to spend money for
repairs on a roof in the shape that this one is in, and it is im-
perative that a new roof be put on this building another season,
if not earlier. Up to recently it has generally been supposed
that because the supporting columns and posts of the west wing
of the main building were iron, that thoFc on the east wing
were also of iron, but such is not the case. They are all of wood,
and as many are in a bad state of decay, it will be necessary to
replace them in a short time. Judging from the pattern, it will
doubtless be good policy to replace them with iron, and as they
are of considerable height, and there are a number of them, it
will doubtless cost in the neighborhcod of $1,000.00 to restore
them and put on the roof mentioned above.
We need to add from 150 to 200 embossed books to our point
library, which will cost not less than $500.00.
It has been a number of years since any new pianos were in-
stalled here, and the last one that was purchased, a baby grand,
proved quite a disappointment. (Considering the constant use
made of them, and the wear and tear resulting therefrom, they
probably last for practice w^ork as long as could be expected, but
even after they are unfit for this service they continue to be use-
ful, for they are then transferred to the tuning department.
On account of the contemplated new music building we h-ive
refrained heretofore from pressing our needs for these new in-
struments, even to the detriment of the work, but now as we are
Report of the State Board op Control. 267
SuperiutemlGut's Report.
making preparations to occupy it, the purchase cannot long:^r
be postponed, if we are to make the progress we should in the
several departments. Mention Has heretofore been made of the
several advantages to be derived by having a piano player in
connection with our musical and tuning departments, and it
cannot be urged too strongly that this matter be given favorable
consideration at the time the new instruments are purchased.
We are in actual need of four new pianos, one of which should
be a grand, and the cost of all of which would approximate
$1,500.00.
The time is near at hand when there must be some improve-
ments in our laundry in the way of new machinery, for that
now in use is badly worn and of an antiquated pattern. A new
washer and mangle will shortly be a necessity, and if we can
rely on assurances given by the manufacturers, aa well 03 prac-
tical laundry men, the installation of- such machinery would
prove a financial saving in a short time, as it would doubtless
enable us to dispose of the services on one laundress. The ex-
pense involved in making this change would amount to about
$500.00.
It has been my constant endeavor to keep the expenditures at
all times within the limit, and in this connection it might be
pertinent to refer to the fact that it was found absolutely nec-
essary, soon after the opening of school last fall, in order to
secure and retain competent help, to raise the salaries of our
employes, and this has resulted, as you know, in a $1,000.00
yearly increase to our pay roll.
To recapitulate the completion of our water system, a pas-
senger and dummy elevator, an isolation building, sidewalks, a
new roof and veranda supports, new books for the point library,
new pianos and a piano player and new laundry machinery are
much needed, all of which are most strongly recommended for
your earnest consideration.
GRADUATES.
On account of their value as reference, and also as general
information to the public, we take the liberty of again publish-
ing a sketch of the careers of the graduated former pupils of

this school, as prepared by former officers, and atso of two ad-
dresses delivered at the conference of the American Associar
tion of Workers of the Blind, held at Boston, in August, 1904,
and August, 1907, one being entitled ^'Graduates of Schoofs for
the Blind and their Needs,'* by Dr. C F. Fraser, Superintendent
of the School for the Blind, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the other
entitled ** Prevention of Unnecessary Blindness and Public
Duty," by Dr. F. Parke Lewis, Chairman of New York Com-
mission for thQ Blind.
The first formal graduating exercises were held in 1885.
The total number of graduates to date is seventy- four. They
hold honored and respected positions in the communities in
which they live. Not all are independent. No one in our com-
plex life is wholly independent. Seeing people must look to
one another for support and assistance. Defining independ-
ence as that condition of self support in which one earns a sal-
ary sufficient for his needs or does for others as much as others
do for him, at least 75 per cent of our graduates are self sup-
porting. Their record in this respect will compare favorably
with the graduates of the high schools for seeing. Following is
given a list of graduates. Those marked with (a star) are to-
tally blind or so nearly blind as to be unable 'ix) read ink print.
Of these graduates eight are married. The total number of
children resulting from these marriages, so far as I am able to
le^^m, is eight and not one of them is blind. Three only are
children of a parent congenitally blind.

the positions they fill and it is to train blind ^rls to be a real
help and blessing in the homes in which they live that much of
the energy of the school is directed.
Of former pupils, two women and five men are in poorhouses.
One of these women has money and pays two dollars a week
toward her support; the other one makes and sells bead- work
which helps in paying her expen:e. Two of the five men will
probably soon be earning a living in the workshop for the blind
in Milwaukee, so that four persons: — three men and one woman

Of former pupils, not graduates, twenty-one women and thir-
teen men, with partial sight, and four women and ten men with
no sight, , have married. The marriages have resulted in forty-
one children, two with defective vision.
Only four marriages have occurred the parties to which
both attended school here, and in not more than one case, if any,
was an attachment between the young people formed while at-
tending school.
In concluding this report I desire to acknowledge my deep
appreciation of the cordial support and consideration shown me
by your Honorable Board at all time. All of which is most
respectfully submitted.

GRADUATES OP SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND AND THEIR NEEDS.
Db. C. p. Pbaseb,
Superintendent School for the Blind, Halifax, N. S.
Address Delivered at the Conference of the American Association oi
Workers for the Blind, Boston, Mass., August, 1904.
In considering the needs of our graduates a few preliminary
remarks as to the training given in schools for the blind may not be
out of place.
The oflBcers and teachers in schools for the blind should be
enthusiasts in their particular line of work. They should endeavor
to impress upon their pupils a strong spirit of self-reliance, and faith
in the idea that the world has work for them to do. The spirit of
the school should always be optimistic, for while blindness is a handi-
cap, it is not an insuperable* obstacle to success. I wish that each
instructor of the blind could fully realize the importance of this
truth and could learn by ex})erience how best to administer the tonic
of encouragement.
The mental, moral and physical training given in many schools
for the blind is admirable, but. in some schools it fails in that it is
not specific and definite. The lad with sight who goes out from the
grammar or high school requires an additional training of from one
to five years to fit him for the activities of life. If he were depend-
ent upon the education he leceived in the public schools he would
find but few avenues of employment open to him. It is the practical
training in the workshop, factory^ counting house, office or special
school which enables the lad with sight to take his place side by
side with his fellow-men as a skilled workman or a trained busi-
ness or professional man. The boy who is blind must receive the
same practical training if he is to succeed in the; world. He cannot
secure this training after he graduates, hence it is of paramount im-
portance that he receive a special training while he .is still an un-
dergraduate. I do not underrate the intellectual training given in
the literary departments of our progressive schools, but this educa-
tion, be it ever so good, will enable very few blind persons to solve
the problem of how to win their bread and butter. I believe that
each pupil in our schools should receive a {Specific training in some
particular line of work which would enable him as a graduate to
support himself, or at least to do something towards his support.
Each pupil requires special study upon the part of superintendent .
and teachers. The weak places in his character or physique must be
strengthened; his manners and habits duly considered; his mental
aptitude fully gauged, and his training such as to insure a practical
knowledge of at least one occupation which has a commercial value
in the world. If he is to be a teacher of music he should know
how to teach and what to teach; he should have confidence in his
ability to teach children with sight, and should be familiar with
the difficulties with which he will have to contend. It should be
our aim to make him a thoroughly qualified instructor rather than

a player of piano-forte mudlc. I would not lower the standard of
excellence In any of the musical departments so far as the individual
is concerned, but I believe as a business proposition that piano playing
should take a second place as compared with piano teaching. Better
graduate three qualified teachers than one virtuoso. J'he training
of vocal teachers, pianoforte tuners, and massewrs, should be equally
definite and thorough. Each pupil should also be trained for one
or more years in commercial .work, so as to familiarize him with
ordinary business transactions.
The choice of a locality in which to settle is of the utmost im-
portance to- a graduate of a school for the blind. Those who are
blind are, as a rule, more successful in communities where they can
become well known. Populous cities and sparsely settled country
districts offer few opportunities of employment to the graduate of
average ability. The choice of a locality should generally be made
in the smaller cities, towns and villages. I have known many of our
girl graduates succeed admirably in towns and villages who would
undoubtedly have failed had their lot been cast in larger cltiei
I have also known pianoforte tuners and masseurs who have found
little or no employment in their village homes achieve success in
the larger towns. Therefore the prospective graduate, with the help
of the superintendent of the school, should give a great deal of
consideration to this matter of locality, as upon the choice the future
success of the graduate may largely depend. It is a great mistake
to allow our graduates to drift to their own homes, where there is
little or nothing for them to do. Every eft'ort should be made to
induce them to go to work immediately upon leaving the school,
as the effect of a year of Idleness is demoralizing in the extreme,
making the boy or girl less self-reliant and less able to cope with
the difficulties with which all are called upon to contend.
A blind person cannot make a successful start in life without
money in his pocket. This fact v. as forcibly brought to my atten-
tion during the earlier years of my superintendency, and in order
to meet the need I established a modest loan and aid fund of $1,000.
From this fund loans of twenty dollars and upwards have been
made to graduates in good standing. Interest is charged at the
rate of six per cent, per annum, payable annually. The principal
may be repaid in installments of smaller or larger amounts. Since
the establishment of the fund in 1882, one hundred and fifty loans
have been made, and in many instances repaid with interest within
two years. The advantage of such a fund has, year by year, be-
come more apparent to me; and although the individual loans were
*not large, I believe that many of our graduates would have failed
to succeed had it not been possible to place within their reach the
necessary financial assistance.
We are all well aw^are that it is more or less difficult for young
and inexperienced blind persons to establish themselvs in communi-
ties where they are strangers. The man with sight will in a few
weeks establish friendly relations with those about him. A glance
of the eye, a nod of the head, and certain acts of courtesy win for
him the recognition of his fellows and speedily break down the
barriers of strangeness and reserve. The disadvantages of the
blind in this particular. can be largely overcome by the superinten-
dent of the school taking measures to have his graduates properly
introduced to the leading people of the towns and villages in which
they are to settle. This he can do by personal visitations and by
letters of introduction from himself and interested friends. I need

not go more fully into this matter of proper introduction, as I be-
lieve its importance will be at once realized. It may be of interest
to recount the measures that are taken to meet the needs of the
graduates of our tuning department in the school for the blind at
Halifax : It is decided that F. B. is to locate in M , I at once
set about to secure the addresses of all persons in M who have
pianos, and immediately send out a circular letter recommending
the tuner and guaranteeing his ability to perform satisfactory work.
The tuner goes to M and calls upon thosse to whom letters have
been sent. When he secures a piano and tunes it to the satisfaction
of its owner, he requests that a brief testimonial be entered in a
small book which he carries for the purpose. After he has obtained
several of these local testimonials he finds no great difficulty in se-
curing regular employment. New testimonials are added as oppor-
tunity offers. A similar method can be used to advantage by teach-
ers of vocal or instrumental music.
Graduates of schools for the blind should make a point of join-
ing some local society, organization, or brotherhood, and thus come
into friendly contact with the men and women of the locality in
which they reside. I always -strongly recommend my graduates to
identify themselves with the communities in which they live, and i
know of no better way for ihem to do so than by becoming members
of some philanthropic or mutual benefit society. The friendly as-
sociation with workers in the same cause is socially and materially
advantageous to them. It broadens their view of life and arouses
upon the part of their fellow-members a keen interest in their suo
cess.
To sum up: Our graduates need specific training; they need to
select with care the locality in which to reside; they need to
have money in their pockets; they need to be properly introduced,
and they need to identify themselves with local organizations. These
needs being met, we should have no fear ?is to their success, pro-
vided their industry and the quality of their work merit the sup-
port and encouragement of their fellow-citizens.
PREVENTION OF UNNECESSARY BLINDNESS A PUBLIC DUTY.
Dr. F. Park Lewis,
Chairnuin New York Commission for the Blind.
Address Delivered at the Conference of the American Association of
Workers for the Blind, Boston, Mass., August, 1907.
It is not necessary to tell a blind man what it is to be blind.
We may say what we will about the marvellous achievements of
those without sight; we may point with amazement and pride at
mathematical prodigies like Professor Carll, or at a musical genius
who has been phenomenally successful like Edward Baxter Perry,
or at a sightless typist, or switchboard operator, or masseur or
business man or women; but the fact remains that success has
been" won in each instance in spite of a heavy handicap, and the
blind are cheery and optimistic because they are brave. So hard a
thing it is to be denied a glimpse of the beauties of this world, to
Report of the State Board of Control. 277
Prevention of Unnecessary Blindness a Public Duty,
be shut out from an even competition with one's fellows, that it would
seem impossible that in a civilized country any human being should
be needlessly permitted to lose his sight. Yet there is no doubt
whatever that from thirty to forty per cent, of those who are blind
need never have became so had proper measures been taken at the
right time to prevent the affliction. With much of the unnecessary
blindnees we may not here concern ourselves; but when young in-
fants who come into the world normal in every particular have
their eyes destroyed as the result of an avoidable infection, the
failure to use the simple measures that will prevent it and to warn
those who should know what to do but fail to do it become a
crime, for which you and I are responsible. Ophthalmia neonato-
rum, or inflammation of the eyes of newborn babies, is one of the
commonest and at the same time one of the most dangerous mala-
dies of the eyes to which the child is subject. It is not confined to
the tenement-house district; it may occur in any class of society.
It is due to the introduction in the child's eyes at or shortly after
birth of germ-infected secretion from the mother. If the smallest
portion of this infecting material is allowed to get inside the in-
fant's eyelids it rapidly develops a most violent inflammation, which
may be followed by ulceration and rupture of the eyeball. When
finally its intensity is expended and the suppuration has ceased,
the clear, shining eyes have been replaced ^y ugly, staring, protrud-
ing globes from which the sight has forever gone. If, however,
immediately after the child is born the lids be wiped free from all
secretion, a pledget of absorbent cotton or a bit of soft, clean linen
cloth being employed for this purpose, and the lids gently opened
and washed freiB from any extraneous matter that may have got
into them, the eyes may be saved.
One can never be sure, however, that all of the microscopic forms
on which infection depends have been removed by simple wash-
ing; and twenty-four years ago Professor Crede, of Leipsic, made
a great discovery, for which some day the whole world will unite
in doing honor to his memory. At that time he made the announce-
ment that, by allowing a small portion of a two per cent, solu-
tion of nitrate of silver to drop from the end of a tiny glass rod
upon the eyeball of a new-born child, the microbes of infection
would be destroyed and the eye itself uninjured. In his enormous
clinic the number of cases of ophthalmia was reduced by this prt^
cedure fropa ten per cent, of the whole number of births to two-
tenths of one per cent.; and some years later, in a series of over
1,100 births, one only was slightly infected, still further reducing
the percentage to a quarter of one per cent., and increasing thereby
the possibility of the child escaping this dangerous infection by fifty
times.
It will be seen, therefore, that if this great discovery of Credo's
were uniformly employed, the chief cause of blindness throughout
the civilized world would be abolished.
This is a condition thoroughly understood and guarded against
by all trained obstetricians. In almost every modern hospital, as
In every suspected case in the practice of every modern physician,
prophylaxis is a routine procedure, and a blind baby in consequence
is so rare under such careful treatment as to be remarkable. But
among the poor, ignorance is still rife, and vast numbers of mothers
receive the ministration of half-trained or ignorant midwives and,
alas! sometimes of careless doctors. Through lack of knowledge
9.S to the proper though simple procedure required, eyes are infected

rather than protected. Th*» admirable Howe law, which already
obtains in sixteen states, requiring midwives to report the existence
of opthalmia neonatorum to the health authorities, is rarely enforced,
or if it is there is no one upon whom its care and treatment neces-
sarily devolve. This means delay, and delay, so far aB the eyes are
concerned, is often another way of spelling destruction.
I have said that these cases usually occur among the poor. A
helpless child, therefore, soon becomes too great a burden for the
parents to carry and it is shifted to the community. Many, foi*-
tunately, are got into the schools for the blind. That eflacient pro-
phylaxis is not generally employed the records of all institutions
where young blind people are gathered abundantly demonstrate.
The average number of blind from this disease entering the New
York State School during the past five years is twenty-six per cent
of the whole number admitted, while at Overbrook, Pa., the main
cause of blindness is opthalmia neonatorum. Of 536 pupils ad-
mitted to this school between 1890 and 1906, inclusive (sixteen
years), twenty-nine per cent of the whole we'-e victims of opthalmia
neonatorum; 155 babies had had their eyes destroyed and their
light extinguished forever because of the carelessness or neglect of
some one who should have known, but did not, and should have
cared enough, but did not, to put one drop of the simple but neces-
sary prophylactic in the eyes of the child in time to save him from
such a fate. About one-quarter of the children in all of the schools
for the blind have lost their sight from this cause. There are in
all in the United States fifty of these schools. The cost of support-
ing them reaches a sum annually approximating two millions of
dollars. Were it. not for the needless blindness resulting from this
preventable disease, one-fifth to one-quarter of these schools would
not be required at all, or they might be filled by other blind children
who are not now being educated. The annual saving, then, to the
nation would amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars and many
times that sum would be added to the economic value of the com-
monwealth in turning an expense into a revenue by making one
who may be a dependent into an effective and productive citizen.
In a home in Brooklyn, maintained through the broad and gen-
erous charity of the women connected with the Sunshine Society,
are seventeen blind children ,mostly taken from Randall's Island —
the children of paupers. An examination was made by the New
York state ophthalmologist— an official connected with the State
Health Department— of sixteen of these children; one probably
was absent. Of these, twelve, possibly thirteen, were hopelessly
blind as a result of preventable and at one time curable conditions.
This is a noble and worthy charity, and the kind and helplhil
sympathy given these children is brightening otherwise dark and
desolate lives; but if the money and effort necessarily employed in
caring for these blind children for one year had been devoted to
propoganda for the prevention of blindness, these and countless others
had never lost 'their sight.
In the State of Massachusetts among 3,806 blind registered by
your commission on the first of the present year, 661, more than
twenty per cent, of the whole, had become blind before their fifth
year. If we exclude ulcerative condition due to bad hygiene and
insufficient nourishment, which ought to be controllable, and con-
geital blindness, which constitutes a comparatively small propor-
tion of the whole, we are safe in assuming that one-half of thl«
number, or ten per cent, of the whole, have in enlightened New En^-

land given their eyes as a sacrinco to this Moloch of Ignorance and
neglect. •
Before any adequate understanding can be obtained as to the
measures to be taken for the relief of an intolerable condition such
as I have pictured, it is necessary to know exactly- the circum-
stances that make its continued existence possible.
It is unthinkable that any human bein,? can understand and
appreciate the frightful danger with which the innocent infant Is
menaced and yet deliberately withhold his hand from the very easy
assistance needed.
We may safely assume that in no instance is it due to the un-
willingness of the accoucheur to eafeguard the child's eyes; but
the world grows with great rapidity. More than one hundred
thousand children were born in the city of New York during the
past year. Vast numbers of these came from tenement houses, from
back alleyways and the slums, from homes, if they may be called
such, where cleanliness and decent living are almost impossible,
and where sanitation in the modern acceptance of the word is a rite
unknown.
To many of these even our language is strange. They are the
Russian and the Polish Jews, Sardinians, Croatians, and others
whom our college settlement workers and district physicians can
better name.
These people are ministered to in their confinements by women
of their own nationality, and usually of their own social status.
Last year the demand for a midwive's services were voiced by 43,834
mothers in Greater New York. Not a few of them have had good
training, but many of them are unclean and ignorant to the last
degree. Occasionally, of course, in this class a- physician is em-
ployed, but the hurry of an active practice often makes him for-
getful of unusual precautions. He is not in the habit of caring
for diseases of the eye. These go to the dispe?^sary or to the specialist.
Infections of the eyes do not, indeed, often occur in an individual
practice. They may be expected only in from cne in fifty to one in
two hundred cases, so that a busy doctor may not see one in years.
After the baby is a week or ten days old. as the mother Is conval-
escing, his attention is called to the swollen, suppurating eyes of
the child. Then he remembers that he did not happen to have the
silver drops in his bag and ncne were used. Dr. Carrigues reports
that during his service in New York maternity hospital, in 1882 to
1884, Crede's practice was followed in 351 infants and net one was
affected with ophthalmia. One other case was delivered in the ab-
sence of the house surgeon and the silver was neglected. This
child had the disease and lost both eyes in spite of special treat-
ment. A Buffalo physician makes the use of this prophylactic a
routine. He omitted in two cases. In both infection followed.
While with individual accoucheurs the infections are few, the
aggregate is large. In the city of Buffalo last year, with 8,500
births, there were 102 cases of ophthalmia in the practice of the
physicians and midwives. The number is far greater in maternity
and other hospitals, from which reports were not obtained. There
is no doubt whatever that at least ten times as many infections oc-
curred as were necessary. In the country districts it is much the
same. The attendant among the poor is often a woman-relative
who does the best she can, or the doctor who has come many miles
and who is not expected to see either mother or child again unless
serious illness supervenes.
280 Report of the State Board of Control.
Wi^onsin School for the Blind.
The reasons, then, why protection is not always afforded to the
child are: First, that the disease occurs so infrequently that it is
not anticipated. Second, midwives and many doctors are not suffi-
ciently well informed as to its dangers and the most effective method
of preventing infection. Third, neither the midwife nor the doctor
is likely to have the proper silver salt in fresh solution at hand.
Imagine one of these women, who can scarcely read or write, copy--
ing a Latin prescription for the purpose of securing a drug in
which exact dosage is imperative; and, fourth, the accoucheur,
whether midwife or doctor, does not always have accurate knowl-
edge as to the way it should he used.
WHAT, THEN, SHOULD BE DONE?
It is essential if this plague, which is ubiquitous, be got under
control that the public be enlightened concerning it. There must
be inaugurated a campaign of education. Every prospective mother
throughout the length and breadth of the land should know that
unless proper precautions are taken, her baby may be blind for life.
Attempts at popular education on these lines have been made man>
times and in many lands, but they have been sporadic and indefinite.
They lacked plan and continuity. Under the inspiration of Dr.
Roth, of London, England, many years ago, a prize was offered for
the best essay on the prevention of blindness, and it secured an
admirable popular monograph from the pen of Professor Fuchs, of
Vienna. Unfortunately it is no longer in circulation. Leaflets de-
scribing ophthalmia neonatorum, giving its cause, the method of
prevention, and necessity for urgent treatment by a competent physi-
cian, have been issued in many languages — ^English, German, Polish,
French, Italian and Hebrew. These havo been distributed to
mothers and midwives by the Society for the Blind in England and
the Valentin Hauy Association in Paris, as well as by our own
Massachusetts and the New York Asscr.iations. The value of
these is beyond measure. They, however, reach isolated spots, when
the whole field must be covered.
The plan to which the American Medical Association has given
its approval provides for a perfectly organized movement covering
the whole United States frcm Maine to Alaska, and from Canada
to the Gulf. It includes tho appointment of committees from each
state medical society, and tnrough them from every county society
in America, these to follow a definite plan cf campaign which shall
be given with the authority and approval of the national ophthal-
mological and obstetrical associations. In fulfilment of this, the
subject will be presented during the coming month at a meeting to
be held in Detroit, of the American Society of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists, and a little later before the Academy of Ophthal-
mology and Oto-Laryngology, at a meeting to be held in Louis-
ville, Ky. This will provide, first, for the enactment of laws in
each state and federal territory placing the Bupervlsory control
and licensure of midwives in the boards of health, requiring that
they may be examined and registered in each county and that they
may be required to report each case of ophthalmia neonatorum
occurring in their practice under penalty — if found guilty of neglect
of the r/.thod of prophylaxis required by- the health authorities —
of forfeiture of their license and fine; second, for the distribution
by health boards of circulars of advice to midwives and mothers,

prophylaxis of this disease; third, the preparation and distribution
by health boards of ampoules or tubes containing the chosen pro-
phylactic, with a simple description of its necessity and method of
application. These may be made at almost infinitesimal cost; they
insure a safe and pure solution, and if hermetically sealed in
light-proof receptacles, will keep indefinitely without chemical
change; fourth, to obtain at stated periods from midwives and all
physicians engaged in the practice of obstetrics, a report of the
number of cases of ophthalmia neonatorum which have occurred
in their practice during this time, together with a statement as to
whether or not a prophyJartic was used in each case, with the
condition of the eyes at the close of treatment. In cases of blind-
ness a full explanaticn should be placed on record. The statistics
thus easily and inexpensively obtained would be of great value,
while the accoucheur would: be constantly reminded of the ne-
cessity of vigilance in prophylaxis and treatment. The midwife, on
the other hand^ must be b^Id to strict accountability for every
case encountered, and failure: to use the measures freely provided,
should the child's eyes suffer, must be followed by a penalty which
should Include the forfeiture of the license under which she Is
permitted to ply her trade. Frcm the medical standpoint, the sue-
cesB of this plan is assured. The presidentelect of the American
Medical Association, your distinguished citizen, Dr. Burrell, has
signified his hearty approval cf the efforts that are being made to
control this disease, while eminent obstetricians, ophthalmologists
and sanitarians, all agree with Professor Hess, of Germany, who
was but recently the guest of the Association, thnt the time has
come when the plague can and must be stamped out. But no great
movement ever succeeded, no law placed upon our statutes has ever
been enforced, unless it is backed by an intelligent public senti-
ment. This is not a new subject to the medical profession. For
more than a 'Quarter of a century doctors have been meeting in
conclave and telling each other that which they already knew per-
fectly well, that blindness resulting from this disease was unneces-
sary and sliould be prevented; but helpful as has been these discus-
sions they have failed to roach the audience with whom such teaching
was most needed, and disaster continued to follow disaster. The
efforts which the physicians are making must be supplemented by
the state and by the public; by the state for economic and human-
itarian reasons. For every dollar used for prevention, ten thousand
times as much is saved in cutting off the cost of education and
maintenance of rne who may becorce a dependent, and it is more-
over a legal right which the infant citizen may properly demand
through his guardians and protectors that he be not robbed, through
ignorance and neglect while yet helpless and unable to protect him-

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the State Board of Control:
I hereby submit the report of the Wisconsin Industrial Sehool
for boys for the biennial period ending June 30, 1908.
I desire to express my appreciation of the uniform courtesy
and consideration I have received from the board, and of my
pleasant relations with its individual members.
Beginning with the financial panic and the depression in busi-
ness following it,' there has been a very marked increase in the
number of boys committed to the school. On the last day
covered by this report the number enrolled was 3^6, the largest
enrollment at the close of any year since 1890. A new family
was organized on that day^ housed in that part of the double
cottage known as No. 9. In spite of this relief, the institution
is still much overcrowded.
By Chapter 630, Laws of Wisconsin, 1907, Section 4966 of the
Statutes was amended so as to confer upon justices of the peace
authority to commit boys to the school upon conviction of crimi-
nal oflfenses. Fortunately, it does not confer upon justices of
the peace authority to commit incorrigible boys. Unfortunately,
it raises the age limit for the commitment of criminals to eigh-
teen, and fixes no limit whatever as to how young they may be at
commitment. If vagrants are criminals, it is difficult to deter-
mine whether their commitments are to be governed by para-
graph 1 or paragraph 2 of section 4966.
The juvenile court of Milwaukee county provides for a medi-
cal examination of every boy it commits to this school. A phy-
sician ^s certificate goes with every commitment paper, certifying
that the boy committed is not suffering from any contagious
disease. Such a certificate should be required by law of every
court sending boys here. This school is not a hospital. I have
no. disposition to shirk the proper care of our own sick, but I
302 Report op the State Board op Control.
Wisconsin Industrial School for Boys.
contend that the school should be protected by a stringent law
from boys suffering from smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria and
other contagious diseases. Chronic invalids and physical weak-
lings requiring hospital care should not be sent here.
In the case of every boy committed to this institution, there
should be a careful medical examination under the direction of
the court committing the boy. The boy should be examined
again on his arrival here. In this way, the boys would be pro-
tected against contagion, and the institution against the burden
of giving hospital care to chronic invalids.
From another point of view, for the sake of the hoy, the law
should hold the court responsible, for a thorough examination
into his physical condition before he is sent here.
Some time ago, a little fellow was received so near the point
of collapse that his ^ife was barely saved by prompt medical
treatment and good nursing. He was sick when taken to court
for trial. Apparently, no one noticed the condition of the little
sufferer. He was taken on his journbsy of S3veral hundred milea
He did not get well on the way. His condition was critical
when he got here.
Another boy, a scarlet fever patient, was taken from his sick
room, just before desquamation had begun. Accidently or
providentially, it was discovered in a day or two, that the
boy's hands were beginning to peel. He was promptly iso-
lated and cared for. The other boys of the school escaped con-
tagion and he escaped any serious consequences from the hard-
ships of a long journey. Such cases of carelessness are not
uncommon. They ought to be made impossible in an enlight-
ened state like Wisconsin.
This is not the proper place for epileptic or feeble-minded
boys. ** Where shall such boys go?'' is a question the state
is answering as rapidly as buildings can be erected at the home
for feeble-minded, at Chippewa Falls. The fact that the home
at Chippewa Falls is crowded does not impose the duty of car-
ing for these unfortunates upon this school. This school is
maintained by the state for a very different purpose.
Boys over sixteen years of age with bad criminal records,
convicted of rape, burglary, forgery, horse stealing, or other
Eepoet of the State Board of Control. 3(K<
Superintendent's Report,
serious offenses should not as rule be sent here. This is not
the place for mature, hardened felons. There eomes a time in
the career of every such boy when society must consider not
solely what is best for the boy, but also, and more and more
predominantly, what is best for the protection of society
against the boy? What is best for the younger, more innocent,
and more hopeful boys of this school? Undeniably, to keep
the mature, hardened criminals out.
Neglected and dependent children should not be sent. here.
The state maintains an institution at Sparta for them. They
should not be compelled to associate with ** vagrants, incor-
rigibles and criminals.^'
. The more strictly the various penal and charitable institu-
tions are made to attend to their respective special functions
the more economically and efficiently they will serve the state.
The health of the boys has been excellent, though for the
first time in six years, death has visited the school. Otto Staff
was received January 4, 1908. In April, his strength began
to decline rapidly and he found to be seriously ill with con-
sumption. He was sent to his home in Marinette April 27th.
He died there of consumption May 7.
Henry Stransky, after an illness of about twenty days, died
of cerebro-spinal-meningitis June 26, 1908.
I send enclosed herewith the report of the school physician.
The school has improved steadily during the biennial period.
The average time of detention is about two years. Boys with
clean conduct records are released on parole after about
eighteen months. Boys under fourteen are held, when practi-
cable, until they finish the fourth grade. Most of the boys are
very backward in their studies when they are received. They
rarely get any more schooling after they are released.
Under these conditions, it is obviously wise to emphasize the
great fundamental studies of a good common school educa-
tion— the practical arts and sciences by means of which the
boys are enabled to earn their own bread and butter. The
course ends with the eighth grade.
Besides the common school branches, the boys are trained in
304 Report of the State Board of Control..

vocal and instruniental miifiic. There is a good manual train-
ing department.
I hand in the report of the principal.
Besides the training of the school proper, the boys are
trained in all the operations of our large farm. They make all
their own clothes and slices. They do the work of our large
laundry. They do the sweeping, dusting, scrubbing, dishwash-
ing, waiting on table, and all the other operations of housekeep-
ing. They haul all th^ coal and other supplies. They make
all our bread, and lear.n something of cooking. They do the
firing for our power plant, and assist in our plumbing and
electric-wirin<^, blacksnjithiug, painting and carpentry. In
short, it is the purpose of the institution to give every boy the
•fundamentals of a good common school education and the
meatis of earning his livelihood in some trade or calling.
Many improvements have been made since June 30, 1906.
A tract of land adjoining the school lands on the east, contain-
ing about twenty-six , acres, has been purchased The acquisi-
tion is extremely iniportjmt. It insures room for an athletic
field and for additional buildings as they may be needed, so
that the younger boys may be segregated more perfectly from
the' older ones. The growth of^ the city4n this direction wiU
not bring private houses too. clo^e to the school. Garden plats
for the small boys are available close to the school buildings.
In every way, the institution has room to grow.
New roofs have been put on the piggery, the large cow barn'
and the tool shed. The boys' dining room and the assembly
room have been handsoniely decorated. The gutters on the
roof of the boys' dining room have been renewed, so that the
rains no, longer leak through to injure .and blacken the walls.
Ilardwcod fioors have been laid in all the cottages, lockers for
the clothes and shoes of the boys have been provided, and many
other internal improvements made for their convenience, com-
fort and health.
New irqii bedsteads in all the eottajj^cs have taken the place
of the old wood(*n ones.
A good deal of fencing has been done.
A fine new dormitoiy for the men has been built at an ox-

pense of less than $12,000.00. The concrete blocks in the base-
ment and first story were made on the ground by the boys.
The plumbing and electric wiring were put in by our own men
and the boys working under them.
The new building takes the place of the old dormitory — thb
oldest building on the ground — ^\vhich had become so delapi-
dated as to be dangerous.
There is still an unexpended balance of the special appro-
priation made by the legislature of 1907 for a new coal shed,
a new cow barn and a printing outfit. All of these im.prove-
ments are urgently needed.
On account of the great increase in our population, I recom-
mend that the legislature be asked to restore the general bien-
nial appropriation for the support of this institution to its
original figures, $114,000.00. The cutting down of the appro-
priation to $110,000.00 by the legislature of 1903 has crippled
the institution ever since.
We need at once or in the near future :
1. Two new cottages for small boys fo accommodate fifty boys
each.
2. A new schoolhouse for the small boys.
3. A good gymnasium well- equipped.
4. A creamery.
5. New front walks.
6. The front driveway should be macadamized or paved with
brick.
7. A system of telephones between our principal buildings.
8. A system of ventilation for the whole institution.
9. Playground outfits.
10. The Winchell farm of 114 acres adjoining our land on
the west should be added to our farm.
In my judgment, the legislature should make provision not
only for the immediate needs of this school, but also for the
needs of the future. This school will grow with the growth
of the state. A wise administration will foresee its growth and
make provision for it.

306 Report of the State Board of Control.
Wisconsin Industrial School for Boys,
PRINCIPAL'S REPORT.
Prop. A. J. Hutton, Supt.,
Wisconsin Industrial School for Boys,
Waukesha, Wis.
I have the honor to submit to you herewith the biennial re-
port of the department of instruction for the period ending
June 30, 1908.
As the work in this department has been carried on largely
along the lines set forth :n my last report, I will refrain from
covering the whole ground again, and will instead call atten-
ticn only to marked changes or to much needed improvements.
INOBEASE IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
There are nearly 100 boys more in the grades than there were
five yeari ago. This increase is due partly to an increase in the
commitments and partly to a reduction in the number of those
who are employed all the time at some form of manual labor.
Of the latter class, there are at present only sixteen.
This increase in school attendance necessitates an increase
in the teaching force. Mo3t of the grades are over-crowded,
there being an average of thirty-six pupils in eight grades,
and an average of thirty-two in all the grades. For the most
effective work, the average should not be above twenty-five.
We need a specially trained primary teacher. Primary work
has peculiar difficulties in our school. All our boys have
really passed the primary age. Many speak a foreign tongue,
and know very little English. . They find great difficulty in
doing at nine or twelve years of age what they might have done
with ease at five or six. We need a teacher of skill and power
to keep these backward boys from staying too long in the first
grade. Special skill in the teaching of these neglected boys in
Report of the State Board of Control. 307
Principal's Report.
our primary grade3 will go far towards relieving the continued
congested condition in these grades, and will awaken in them a
desire to learn.
SPECIAL improvements.
In order to make the reading work the central and most
important work in the school, we are now devoting the first two
hours of the morning school and the first two hours of the
afternoon school in each grade to reading and to oral and
written language w^ork growing out of the reading lesson.
Thus only one book, the reader, is now used in teaching
the three branches — reading, language and spelling. The
Baker and Carpenter Language Reader Series, which we are
now using, is admirably adapted to this plan. Under this
method, minimum attention is given to the technicalities of lan-
guage, and maximum attention to its usage or practical appli-
cation. To supplement the reading work of the basal readers
and to furnish valuable information along the lines of the other
studies in the school course, the grades have access to sets of
geographical, biographical, historical and literary readers.
Much attention is given to the memorizing of choice extracts
of prose and poetry from the reader. By constant repetition,
these gems in time become as familiar and as firmly fixed as the
multiplication table, the Lord's Prayer and the alphabet.
A marked change in system of school records.
During the past biennial period, we have adopted the loose
leaf system of keeping the class standings and attendance record.
Each teacher has now a separate intercRangeable post binder for
this purpose. When a pupil is transferred or promoted, his
leaf is taken out and passed over to the next teacher. If the
boy is paroled, his leaf is filed in the principal's oflSce.
improvements in the library.
During the past biennial period, we have increased our li-
brary by over 600 volumes, so that we now have 1800 library
books and 3500 text-books, besides a large number of valuable
308 Report of the State Board of Control.
Wisoo)isi)i Industrial School for Boys.
official doeunients and pamphlets. In order to make room for
this addition of hooks, we have had an additional large library-
case placed in the library, so thai: we can now conveniently place
twice as many books as we could five years ago.
These books should be catalogued by a library expert, so
that their contents might be made more accessible, and they may
piove moie usc^ful in making the school work more effective.
Provision should Ix* made for caring for them and repairing
them, and eveiy effort made to induce the boys to use them more
freely and with greater profit.
POOR CONDITION OF BI.ACKIOARDS.
The boards are in very poor condition. In many patches,
they need re-phusteriiig before they are re-slated. They have
hem fixed over a number of times and enough has been ex-
pended on them to have bought Kolid slating several times over.
In a school like ours, which is in session every day of the year
ex('ei)t Sundays, this constant replastering, repainting and re-
slating is one of the greatest hindrances to our school work,
since the* grades are iilways disturbed thereby, and, even after
the repair, the boards in each grade cannot be used for several
weeks. It appears to me that since nearly every little country
school today has solid slate blackboards, the state of Wisconsin
could also, afi'ord it for its wards in this school.
np:w desks.
To accommodate properly the increiused numbers in the school,
it will become necessary to purchase from thirty-five to forty
new desks for scatin^jj the room that has heretofore been used
for grade singing, and use this room as an additional class room.
SI.OVI) AND MANUAL TRAININCJ.
Our ([uarters for the sloyd work are too small and crowded
for doing the host work with so lar^(^ a number of small l)oys.
To do justice^ to tlusc^ small boys, we ought to have at least two
hours of sloyd work in the foi'c^noon and two hour's of sloyd work
in the afternoon throughout the year.

Under the cramped condition and other unfavorable circum-
stances, thi^ department has accomplished results far beyond
reasonable expectations.
THE MANUAL TRAINING.
This department has had too much f?eneral repair work to do
justice to the boys. For much of the time, repair work has
been primary, and manual training work only incidental. I
hope for the good of the school, that it will become possible to
make manual training primary, and repair work incidental,
at all times. I would suggest that the last week in each month
might be given to repair work, and the remaining weeks to
manual training in its full sense.
The manual training is one of the most helpful means in the
redeeming of neglected boys. To prove most effective, it must
be pursued systematically without too much breakup or inter-
ruption. Some practice in repair work is useful, as it relates
the work to practical daily life. If thi^ department could be
relieved of some of the repair work, it will be in better shai)e
than it has ever been before. It has even under these hinclrance.Tj
accomplished wonders.
the vocal music.
This department has outstripped even its fori)ier enviable rec-
ord. It is continually increasing in effectiveness.
IN CONCLUSION.
I hope that the much needed improvements I have suggested
may come in the near future by prompt co-operation of superin-
tendent and board.
With the wish to render the best service possible to the state,
I most respectfully submit this report.

310 Report of the State Board of Control.
Wisconsin Industrial School for Boys.
PHYSICIAN ^S REPORT.
A. J. Hutton, Supt. Wis. Industrial School for Boys. I here-
with submit my report as physician for the past two years.
During that time the boys of the institution have enjoyed
uniformly good health. There has been only one death during
that period, and that from Cerebro Spinal Meningitis. There
was an outbreak of small-pox which lasted about two months.
All of the cases were very mild, some of them being hardly rec-
ognizable. All of the boys are vaccinated on their arrival unless
they show scars of recent vaccination. To this fact I attribute
the mildness of the epidemic. Two of the employes had the
disease in a more severe form, due to the fact that they had not
been vaccinated. I would suggest that a rule be made requiring
all employes to be vaccinated, who are not properly protected
by recent vaccination. There also was a boy admitted to the
institution in the desquamation stage of scarlet-fever, but for-
tunately it was detected in time and isolated, so it did not in-
feet the school. At another time we received a boy from the
extreme northern part of the state suffering from a very severe
attack of follicular tonsilitis. He had traveled all night in a
day-coach, and upon arrival was very sick. It was nearly two
weeks before he was able to be up and around. These unfortu-
nate affairs could have been- avoided if they had had a medical
examination by order of court before they were sent here. This
is done by the Juvenile Court of Milwaukee. I would suggest
that a rule be made requiring all courts who send boys to this
institution to furnish him a certificate of health.
I want to thank you for the support you have given me in my
part of the work in caring for these boys. There has been noth-
ing that I have needed in that work, but what has been promptly
and cheerfully furnished,
"Wishing you the greatest success in this good work, I remain,
Yours most sincerely,
J. B. Noble, M. D.

WARDEN'S REPORT.
Waupun, Wisconsin, July Ist, 1908.
To The Honorable State Boa/rd of Control:
I respectfully submit a report of the operations of the Wiscon-
sin State Prison for the biennial period ending June 30, 1908.
The revenues of the institution for the period have been very
satisfactory. The cash receipts from convict labor show a ma-
terial increase over former years with no increase in the number
of men employed at productive labor. The increase in receipts
from this source have been brought about by the new contract
for the employment of prisoners, made at the expiration of the
piece price contract, in the month of January, 1907. About one
hundred men had been employed at an industry conducted on
the piece — ^price system the receipts from which was a little less
than $1,000.00 per month. We now receive sixty-five cents per
day for all convicts working on contract labor. The average
number employed the past year on contract was 405. The re-
ceipts from contract labor for the past six years have been as
follows :
Year ending June 30, 1903 $47, 694 36
Year ending June 30, 1904. . , 60,317 84
Year ending June 30, 1905 71,137 99
Year ending June 30, 1906 74,727 58
Year ending June 30, 1907 76,497 39
Year ending June 30, 1908 80,392 27
The past few years have been extremely busy ones. Bxtendve
improvements have been under way, buildings re-modeled and
needed additions constructed. The administration or center
building has been entirely re- constructed and re-fitted. Much
has been added to the interior appearance of this building and
the sanitary conditions have been made the best possible, The
changes in this building have been as follows ; First floor : The
old guarls' room, locker room and officers' dining room occupy-

ing the west half of this floor, have been merged into an attrac-
tive room, 40x70, for the use of guards and accommodation of
visitors. The floor is of white tile with marble base. The ceil-
ing and walls are tinted in sage green adding a bright and cheery-
effect. The room is furnished with twenty-four massive arm
chairs and two large mahogany library tables. The clerk's and
warden's offices have been renovated and repainted in keeping
with the other improvements on this floor.
Second floor: The second floor of the building has been con-
verted entirely into rooms for officers. Ten large, well lighted
sleeping rooms occupy the east and west portions of this floor.
The recreation room, in the center i^ 32 feet square and consists
of billiard rcom, reading and writing rooms. The furniture is
of mahogany finish and the color scheme in harmony with
that of the first floor. The toilet and bath rooms, on this floor,
are very complete, consisting of three showers, bath tub, four
lavatories and several closets.
Third floor: The chapel occupies this entire floor. The audi-
torium which is eighty feet and seventy feet deep is equipped
with 698 wood veneer theater chairs of confortable design.
Across the rear of the hall is a balcony 75 feet deep, capable
of seating two hundred and fifty person3. The floors are in-
clined at a pitch which insures an uninterrupted view from
every seat. The ceiling is finished in delicate cream color, the
w^alls in orange yellow ard the woodwork in white. This with
the rich red coloring of the seats and floor make a pleasing
color arrangement. The total cost of the above described im-
provements, not including convict labor, was $31,065.21.
The new cell room, menticned in my report of two years ago,
is rapidly nearing completion. Special efforts will be made to
have this much needed building entirely finished so that it can be
occupied early next fall. There has been expended on this
account to date, exclusive of convict labor, the sum of $58,417.80.
LAND purchase.
An appropriation was made by the legislature of 1907, for
the purchase of additional land. The sum of $15,036.25 has
been expended for this purpose. Two tracts comprising 165
Report of the State Board op Control. 329
Warden^s Beport,
■
acres were purchased adjoining the prison farm. We now have
a farm of 312 acres which can be made to add considerably to
the revenues of the institution.
ADDITION TO WOMAN 'S PRISON.
The legislature of 1907 made available, funds appropriated
several years ago for industrial purposes, for the building of
an addition to the female prison and extending the prison walls.
On account of the many other improvements under way being
done by convict labor it was decided to have this building con-
structed by outside labor. Accordingly plans and specifications
were prepared, bids received and considered and the contract
awarded to William Lister of Chippewa Falls. Work on this
building is progressing rapidly.
BINDING TWINE PLANT.
By 'Chapter 574, Laws of 1907, there was appropriated
$125,000.00 for erecting buildings and the purchase of ma-
chinery and equipment necessary for the manufacture and sale
of binding twine. The ccntract for the construction of this
building was awarded to C. W. Noble of La Crosse. The build-
ing is being constructed just outside of the west prison wall,
but will be enclosed by the new walls that are to enclose this
portion of the prison property. Work on the twine plant is
progressing very rapidly, the contractors have a large force of
men and machinery and the building will be completed this
fall.
PAROLES.
Chapter 110, Laws of 1907, provided for the parole of pris6n-.
ers from this institution by the Board of Control with the ap-
proval of the governor. The law provides that before being
paroled the convict must have served at least one-half of the full
sentence. Those previously convicted of a felony and life pris-
oners are ineligible. The operation of the law under the rules
and regulations you have provided has been very satisfactory,
and carried out with very little expense. Each prisoner has had

work provided for him before his release from the institution
and monthly reports have been required from both prisoner and
employer until the final discharge was ordered. The first meet-
ing for the coisideration of paroles was held August 20, 1907.
{Since then meetings have been held every three months. The
results shown below are most gratifying.
Applications considered 69
Paroles granted 34
Applications denied 35
Of the 34 paroles granted,
17 have received their final discharge
3 have violated the conditions of the parole agreement
14 are now making monthly reports.
Of the three who defaulted in their paroles, one was returned
to this institution, one is now confined in a penal institution in
another state and will be returned at the expiration of his
term and the other escaped and to date has not been appre-
hended.
In this connection thanks are due the Judges, District At-
torneys and others who have answered numerous inquiries re-
garding applicants and rendered much aid in determining the
fitness of the convict for parole.
ESCAPES.
During the period covered by this report there have been
several attempts to escape. None from the prison proper were
successful. John Kniss, serial number 9493, sentenced from
Washburn County to serve two years for the crime of Assault
with Intent to Commit Murder, escaped from the prison farm
on the evening of Feb. 7th, 1907, and has not been recaptured.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I recommend that an appropriation of $60,000.00 be asked
for remodeling the cell block of the north cell room. This
building was constructed some 35 or 40 years ago and when
compared with our new modem cell building leaves much to be
desired. The block consists of. four tiers of cells in which 286
prisoners . spend over one-half of their time. The cells are
Report op thm Stam Board of Control. 331
seven feet long and four feet wide with a flagstone for a floor
in each cell. These flagstones are filled with small holes in
which water and dirt accumulate. The cells are poorly ven-
tilated and contain no plumbing. The unsanitary condition of
such a cell should not require extended comment. This im-
provement should be started in the immediate future while We
have sufficient room by moving the prisoners into the new cell
room nearing completion.
I also recommend that an appropriation of $20,000.00 be
asked for extending rear prison walls. The twine pl&nt, now
being constructed, is outside of the prison wallSj and will have
to be enclosed before prisoners can be worked in that depart-
ment. The part of the grounds now enclosed is overcrowded
with buildings.
In conclusion I desire to express to all the meitiber» of the
Board of Control, my sincere thanks for their kindly a4viBe and
support and their harmonious co*operation in matters pertain-
ing to the management of the penitentiary.
To those in charge of the various departments I eittend tiiy
thanks for their constant ^nd vigilant attention to the needs of
the institution and to all subordinate officers 1 am indebted for
the efficient manner in which they have discharged their i*6-
spective duties.
Very truly yours,
Henry Town,
Warden.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
Sparta, Wis,, June 30, 1908.
To the State Board of Cmitrol:
Inclosed find the 11th biennial report of the Wisconsin
State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children,
ending June 30, 1908.
THE WORK OF THE SCHOOL.
This school was formally opened for the reception of children
in November, 1886. Since that time 3,261 children have been
received at the school. These children have been kept here for
a longer or a shorter term as their necessities might require.
In many instances the children have come from sadly neglected
conditions to where cleanliness and Godliness prevail. In the
large majority of cases th^ children are quick to respond to their
changed surroundings. I cannot say that all are changed but
I believe that more than 85% grow into new lives with new
de^res and new hopes. In fact, I believe this percentage of
success in life, even though in humble spheres, is as great as in
the average homes throughout the state of Wisconsin. Statis-
tics show that not more than 85% of children throughout the
country grow to good lives ai men and women. Fifteen per
cent of them are not necessarily criminal but many of them are
of shiftless, careless, slovenly habits, live in squalor and poverty,
so that it may be said, I think, that not more than 85% of the
children in the homes in Wisconsin become good citizens, in all
that the word implies.
If the children of the State School had not been rescued from
their surroundings, in a majority of instances they would have
grown into criminal lives, or nearly as bad as that, of slovenly,
shiftless habits. So I am more and more convinced that the
State Public School is as essential as any charity in the state
366 Report op the State Board op Control.

■
of Wisconsin; that it is really the most economical from the
standpoint of making good citizens, and that it should be en-
couraged in every way possible to care for these unfortunate
children and lead them to better lives.
The school is founded after the great Bernardo schools in
London, and the parent school in this country is Cold Water,
Mich., both of which have done a great work in the uplifting
of humanity to higher and better lives.
OFFICERS AND EMPLOYES.
The superintendent has no more responsible duty than that
of selecting his officers and employee. Personal friendships
should not be considered. Dignified, competent, conscientious,
humane, and industrial helpers will do more to make a success-
ful institution than any other factors. The superintendent
should be a good judge of human nature: he should be a man
who will put politics and friendships behind him and have in
mind only the good of the institution. No outside agency; no
civil service commission, no member of the state board of con-
trol can know all of the needs of the institution in regard to
help as well as the superintendent himself. In fact, the regis-
tration and examination of applicants for positions in the State
Public School are really of no practical assistance. I have tried *
several who have applied to the Commission for positions and
given them a thorough trial, and in every instance they have
proven failures and soon had to be relieved of their work or
else kindly resigned.
I find upon investigation, that in the main, these people who
had made application were those who had failed in private life ;
those who could not, perhaps, obtain positions of good salary
with very little returns therefor. In some instances, I have
found that applicants to the civil service commission had made
application for positions in several state institutions and had
concluded before coming to the State School to try all of them
to find the easiest place with the best salary therefor. So far
as the State Public School is concerned, the civil service com-
mission has been of little or no help in the selection of employes,
although I cannot question the sincerity of the commission or
Report of thb State Board of Control. 367
Superintendent's Report,
of the executive ofl&cer thereof. I believe they have tried to
do the best they could under the circumstances, but, in my opin-
ion, the state institutions should be relieved of the provision of
this law and a superintendent should be engaged who will pay
no attention, whatever, to politicj or friendships in the selec-
tion of employees. In fact, I do not believe with the scarcity
of help that has prevailed during the last five years, that any
superintendent in the state institutions has made political ap-
pointments or has appointed special friends to places, regard-
less of their qualifications.
THE PROBLEM OP THB SCHOOL.
The great problem of the State Public School is the placing
of children in good homes, in watching over them to see that
they have good care, physically, morally, and mentally; that
they are surrounded by good conditions that will tend to bring
them into good citizenship in later life. As a rule, the pre-
liminary steps in placing children in the home comes from the
guardian who makes either a pergonal or written request for a
child. A good judge of human nature can decide many import-
ant qualifications from the personal appearance of a man or
woman and can judge something of them by their letters in
making application for children. I have had many applica-
tions, in my experience from men who *'made their mark,''
were unable to write their names. These applications have not
been followed up or investigated by the officers of the School but
have been promptly rejected. Such homes would be found
without any reading matter of any kind, anything to encourage
the child to a better life. Perhaps the man might reason that,
inasmuch as he had gotten along through life without an edu-
cation, others could do the same. Applications from saloon
keepers or those engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors are
also promptly rejected.
If a written application is made on one of the blanks fur-
nished by the State School, the rule of the school is for the
agent to visit the home and make all inquiries possible in re-
gard to the applicant. The agent inspects the home to see
whether it is neatly and cleanly kept or not, also the surround-
368 Keport of the State Boaud of Control.

ings of the buildings, and some homes have been rejected be-
cause the applicant was very careless about caring for his ani-
mals and his barn and his farm tools, the agent feeling that
such habits would be important to the child and that he ought
to be taught better lessons than those which the shiftless farmer
would teach.
The responsibilities of the agents are very great, indeed. It
would seem as though they held the future life of the child by
their decisions in regard to the home and I think that there is
no work that requires more careful judgment, earnestness of
purpose, thorough conscientiousness than that of a person plac-
ing children in homes where their future will largely depend
upon their surroundings.
With this thought paramount in the work that I have done
in the school, I have retained the agents and take this oppor-
tunity to commend the work that they have performed.
Mr. A. F. Brandt commenced his work in the school the 1st
day of September, 1897, nearly eleven years ago. He had been
a teacher and county superintendent of schools and had a
thorough understanding and appreciation of child life and,
during this long term he has gone in and out looking after the
wards of the State School almost or quite as earnestly as a
parent would look after the welfare of his children.
Miss Elsie M. Loomis, agent for the southern part of the state,
commenced her work in the State School, April 1, 1900. She
had been a teacher for a few years of her life and had valuable
experience in child life in the State Institution at Chippewa
Falls. . She has always had due appreciation of the importance
of her work and has performed it well.
Mrs. E. M. Iluebing w^as assigned the duties of state agent
by the Board of Control last October. I regretted very much
when she felt that she could not endure the fatigue of the
work or the responsibilities which came to her. She was as
successful as a new agent could exj)eet to l)e. She was earnest,
careful, and painstaking, but the duties were impairing her
health and she resigned in April. I am informed that her
successor is a Miss Evans, of Spring Green, Wis., and that she
will commence her duties soon.
Report oh^ tiijh State Board of Control. 369
Superintendent's Report.
These agents ride to all parts of the state. The ** needs of
the children'' are ever before them and I know that they feel
each and every day of their lives the responsibilities of their
charge and the anxiety as to whether the very best thing has
been done or not. Only a person who is in this active work
can appreciate what these responsibilities and anxieties mean
to the faithful agents.
After long rides, frequently forty miles a day, it may be
through snowdrifts or over muddy roads; it may be after a
runaway team or after a serious breakdown miles from any
house, they are obliged to pass the night in an obscure country
hotel where the accommodations are very poor. Almost their
first work after reaching the hotel they make their day's report
to the superintendent on a blank postal card as follows:
Date 1M8
To the Superintendent of State School:
I am to-day at
I will be at Hotel, at
on the inst.
Signed
Agent.
The next day is a repetition, through rain and snow, through
any condition of the elements. They visit the homes of the chil-
dren, the schoolhouse if school is in session, and do all they can
to ascertain the true condition of the child. Their trips vary
from a few day^ to three or four weeks, depending upon cir-
cumstances. When they return to the School they have their
reports to complete, their children to select for another trip ; in
fact, they have little or no rest during the entire year.
The agents' work deserves commendation and appreciation,
and if we have had any success in the work in Sparta, the agents
have contributed their part of it.
TITE POSTATi CARD SYSTEM.
At the beginning of my administration in 1899, I prepared a
blank printed on a postal card, for the report of guardians to
the superintendent of the State Public School, as follows:

PLEASE RETURN CARD PROMPTLY.
If you have further information than indicated in the questions,
write it in the blank lines above.
At first I sent these cards to guardians every month but later
on concluded that every two months would answer the purpose.
I consider the sys'^em as very valuable as it keeps the superin-
tendent in touch with the children, and if he doe3 not know the
children and have their welfare at heart and accepts every means
of informing himself in regard to their welfare, his mission is
a failure. The system also has its benefits in restraining or
helping the child in the home. He learns in one way or an-
o!;her that reports are made of him and has a certain pride in
having gcod reports made; so I consider the system of great
benefit in that particular.
On the receipt of these cards at the School, they have been
closely inspected by the superintendent and where necessary the
child or the guardian has been written to. They are checked
every two months and delinquents are notified that they have
not made the report.
I feel that it i 3 an important link in the systematic chain of
keeping track of the child; requiring the guardian to report
any dereliction, benefiting the child by the fact that these re-
ports are made, and being of great assistance to the superintend-
ent in keeping in touch Avith the child.
HAPPY CHILDREN.
Our children enjoy their every day life of school and recrea-
tion, but, of course, look forward to their festive days with keen
anticipation. All the officers of the school devote their time to

these holidays to give the children a grand, good time. The
Fourth of July is duly celebrated by the children with a pro-
cession of boys in improvised uniforms, drums beating, flags
flying, and the most essential firecrackers. A good dinner is
served and then in the afternoon it has been the custom for
some years, to provide them with candy and lemonade, and in
the evening there are fireworks to take their attention until the
tired, but happy children are glad to seek their beds.
Our annual picnic is also a day which the children look for-
ward to with the keenest enjoyment. The ** whole family,"
about nine o'clock in the morning, depart for the grove on the
farm and there the festivities occur and the day is passed in
games, contests for small prizes and, or course, a good picnic
dinner is enjoyed by all ; then there may be boating and bathing
in the river which runs across the farm and these are a fitting
close to the day's enjoyment.
Thanksgiving day, Christmas, and New Years' Day are duly
observed, and but few children are better supplied with sensible
gifts than the children of the State Public School.
The teachers and students of the Milwaukee Downer College
never forget the children of the State Public School. For many
years a box has been sent as regularly as the day comes and it
contributes very much happiness to the children. It is a kind
and generous remembrance that the pupils and officers of the
State School are thankful for. '
PER CAPITA STATEMENTS.
Nothing is more unfair or unjust than to make per capita
statements of the expenses of the State Public School, basing
these statements on the children that are cared for. I quote
from my report of two years since as follows :
"Some people are exceedingly fond of making figures for per capita
expenses. No method could be more unjust and unfair. They simply
take those in the school and give no credit, whatever, for those in
homes. Last year we cared for more than 1,000 children. Now take
your per capita statement: an annual appropriation of $38,000 divided
by 1,000 gives $38 per capita for the year. To carry it to the extreme,
about seventy-three cents per week and yet this is a fairer statement
than to take just those who are in the school, or the average number
in attendance.
372 Keport op Tirfc State Board of Control.
State Public School.
The fact remains that the State Public School caree for more than
one thousand children each year, at an actual cost of seventy-three
cents per week for each child and costs the state less per capita than
any other state institution/'
FARM AND GARDEN.
The farm and gardens of the School are of great benefit to
the large boys as a means of instruction and getting them into
habits of industry, and also most profitable in the results.
We produce oats, hay, corn, rye, potatoes, mangels, beans,
great quantities of small fruits, such as currants, raspberries,
blackberries, strawberries, and everything in the line of vege-
tables or food for the inmates of the institution. In fact, we
purchase very little of fruits or vegetables outside of these that
we produce, and probably no families are better supplied with
these articles of food than the State Public School.
"We have a herd of twenty-five thoroughbred Holsteins which
furnish an ample supply of milk for the children. We also
raise poultry and pigs.
With the farm herd last year of thirty head of cattle, and
with some forty or fifty hogs to fatten, and seven horses, we
were able to get through the winter and keep our stock in good
shape without purchasing any hay and but few bushels of oats
for seed, and less than one hundred bushels of corn. The pro-
ducing power of the farm has been increased during the last
seven years more than 100% in addition to what it was before
and we have made the same record in our gardens.
Our gardener is one of the best in the state and takes a per-
sonal pride in what he can produce for the School. He con-
siders he is responsible for the supply of vegetables and small
fruits and works to ihU end and has always succeeded admirably.
MANUAL TRAINING.
There is still a great scarcity of help for the homes and for
the farms of Wisconsin. Many children and young people are
taught nearly everything from books to the exclusion of work,
or to the exclusion of instruction in household duties. In fact,
to the exclusion of wH)rk wnth the hands. Boys are taught just

enough about tools to create a desire for a trade and thus a good
farmer or laborer is spoiled. While our boys at the School are
here for an indefinite time, they are taught farming ; are taught
how to prepare soil, something of fertilizers, how to seed, how
to care for the harvest, how to care for stock, and how to handle
a team. All of this is done under the direction of the boys'
supervisor, but it is very profitable to them because it gives
them a start in farm work and a love for it, something, in my
opinion, that the country demands at the present time.
Equally important, the larger girls are taught sewing, plain
cooking, and many things that will fit them for domestic service.
This is done in our domestic science department by a teacher
who has been in her position eleven years and has done excellent
work. It is especially valuable and desirable here because many
of OUT girls come from homes where the mother is ignorant and
careless in housekeeping. In theee two branches, the farm and
in the domestic science department, our manual training is di-
rectly practical and I feel the necessity of preparation for do-
mestic life is the most valuable training that our children can
have. Some of our pupils have gone into higher institutions,
liigh schools, normal schools, and the university, and we have
had some graduates from the university, one this year. Also
one in Beloit College.
A great majority are preparing for domestic service and I
believe in this work. The schcol officers have chosen wisely for
them in encouraging to prepare for dom<»stie life.
OUR TEACHP}KS.
The school employs five teachers for the following depart-
ments: Grammar, intermediate, primary kindergarten, and
domestic science. Our teacher in the grammar room has been in
her position seventeen years. The teacher of the primary, nearly
nine years, and the teacher of domestic scincc nearly eleven
years. Our present teachers in the intermediate and kinder-
garten rooms have resigned their positions to take effect at the
close of this school year and new ones have been engaged.
I mention the years of service of the teachers only for this
374 Report of the State Board of Control.
State PxMic School,
reason : That officers and employes of the state school have not
been removed with changes of administration, but have been
continued and I hope, and have no doubt, they will be continued
as long as their services are acceptable.
The changes in pupils and the fact that the agents select
the brightest and best pupils to take to homes soon after their
arrival are not conducive to the very best results in school work,
but the teachers do the very best they can for all committed to
their care.
The child is placed in school the next session after he arrives
here and is under excellent discipline and instruction, some-
thing that he is found to be sadly in need of as long as he re-
mains in the school.
Many boys and girls write to the superintendent years after
they leave the school and express their gratitude to the faith-
ful instructors who taught them to seek for knowledge even
after school days were over.
healthftjlness of the children.
We have been fortunate in having but one epidemic since my
last report. Last winter we had diphtheria; in all seventeen
cases. We were quarantined for one week but owing to the
;v^atchfulnes3 of our physician, Dr. Sarles, and the precautions
that he took and the help that he gave in his treatment of the
afflicted, but one child died and that a little girl four years of
age, who some time after the diphtheria was over, succumbed
to heart failure. I cannot speak too highly of the work that
Dr. Sarles did in this connection, but his position in the medi-
cal world needs no commendation from me. Also the hospital
treatment under the faithful care of the matron and nurse,
Miss Mitchell, with her most competent assistants, contributed
very much to the suppression of the epidemic. In fact, the
physician and the matron of the hospital working carefully and
faithfully as they did in their respective positions, have con-
tributed very much to the general healthfulness of the child-
ren and sometimes months have elapsed with not a child in bed

Superintendent's Report,
In fact, our children enjoy far better health than the same
number in homes because they have regular habits of life and
are more closely inspected than the average child in the average
home.
THE cottage life.
•
We have no more responsible position at the school than that
of a matron, a lady who takes ohai^e of thirty boys or girls and
cares for their physical needs, and also trains them in habits
of morals and manners and the little things that help to build
into a good life hereafter. The superintendent feels that he
has no more responsible duties than that of selecting a matron.
Oftentimes many applicants have been rejected, and I presume
those who might have passed an examination for the position;
but nature has to give these matrons the necessary qualifications
and these can never be determined positively without actual
trial. Whenever trials have resulted in failures, changes have
been promptly made, and I feel that if the school is entitled
to any measure of success under my administration it has been
in the selection of good conscientious, christian ladies for the
positions of matrons in the different cottages.
THE BABY COTTAGE.
The legislature of 1901 changed the law eliminating the age
of admission at three years. The bill was bitterly contested
by certain societies in the state because, no doubt, in the opin-
ion of members of said societies, it would infringe upon their
opportunities; but the bill became a law and went into opera-
tion on the 30th day of May, 1901.
A vacant cottage was opened, a matron and assistant in-
stalled, and the first baby was received from Dane County on
May 31st. Since that time 328 babies have been received.
Last year we had a very important addition made to the
baby cottage. We had been crowded for room and during the
preceding years had been forced to decline to receive all ap-
plicants; but this addition has given us splendid, airy rooms,
well devised, and we are now able to care for thirty babies and
care for them well, far better than in the average homes. In

fact, our mortality tables show a smaller percentage of deaths
than in the homes throughout the state.
For the last three years we have had the services of Miss
May Masters as matron in this important position, and I can-
not speak too highly of the work that she has done. She has
been a mother to these homeless little ones and has carefully
studied their physical needs and taken care of them in a manner
that commends itself to every person who inspects her work.
While matrons in other cotta^^es have done their work well, I
consider that the matron of the baby cottage has had a most
responsible position, and one that has required carefiil watch-
fulness which Miss Masters ha? shown on every occasion.
We have succeeded in finding good homes for nearly all of
these babies, lately exceeding our usual number of thirty in
the cottage, although many have been received during the last
year.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT.
The girls are taught plain cooking. They are taught to
cook vegetables, meat, plain cake, bread, and some other es-
sential provisions for the table. They make excellent bread
and their other work is very well done, indeed.
Their work in sewing is not only instructive and helpful to
them in the way of cutting and making, but it is very help-
ful to the school, as the following list will show:

dietary for one week.
Although high prices have prevailed on all eatables during
the last biennial period, our children have been well fed. The
food has been of the best quality, as all meats, vegetables,
bread, aad butter have been of the same kind in every respect
as those furnished officers and employes.
The following dietary was taken during the fall. The list
varies of course, during the year. While there may not be as
many luxuries as some children have in homes, the children
have all they need at all times. Thanksgiving day, Christmas,
and other holidays, bountiful dinners are served, such as may
be seen in the best homes on such occasions.

IMPROVEMENTS.
Since my last report and account of special ' appropriation,
we have made some permanent improvements very essential and
necessary to successful work. The special appropriation of
1905 paid for a tunnel 1280 ft. long connecting hospital with
the central heating plant. The tunnel was completed in Aug-
ust, 1906.
A modern bake oven was built in July, 1906, with a capac-
ity of 200 loaves at one time. It is an economical oven re-
quiring very little fuel and it was something very much needed
at the school because the old oven did not have sufficient ca-
pacity and would not do gocd work, consumed quantities of
fuel, and was unsafe.
Last fall we built a shed for our farm machinery, which
was also a measure of economy, on the special appropriation-
of $800. It is sufficient for may years to come.
The coal shed with a capacity cf 900 to 1000 tons of coal,
built at an expense of $4,000 last year, has taken the pla<;e of
a temporary shed which wa^ built by the help at the school.
The new coal shed buiMing is completed with a railroad and
cars for running the coal directly to the boilers, and will be
sufficient for the school for a number of years to come.
"Within the last two years we have remodeled our cow bam,
putting in cement floor, some ventilating shafts, and new stan-
chions, and at this writing in June, 1908, we are putting a
new cement floor in our horse barn, doing some permanent
cement work in our boiler room and doing away with the last
of the old board walks, replacing them with cement so that
we will have none but cement walks on the grounds.

CONCLUSION.
With the completion of this work, my services as superin-
tendent of the state public school, will end after a service of
nine years.
My resignation, which was handed to the board on May 4,
1908^ w^ for the reason of poor health and a feeling that on
this account I could not do the work which a superintendent
ought to do. The step was not hastily taken. I came to this
conclusion a year ago, that my resignation would be handed
in, to take ett'ect the first day of July, 1908.
There is no member of the board now in service of the state
who was on the board when I came to the work in 1899. But
throughout the long term that I have been here with the past
board and the present board, I have received most courteous
and careful consideration and have had many helpful sug-
gestions in the work, for which I extend my sincere thanks.
I believe the state public school system is the very best for
caring for dependent and neglected children. I could give
many reasons for this belief but they are not necessary at this
time. I can only hope that the work may go forward and that
better work may be done in the future than has ever been done
in the past for the neglected children of Wisconsin, and I be-
lieve the work has grown better from year to year and I sin-
cerely wish that it may continue.
Respectfully submitted,

State Board of Control:
I wish to add something supplemental to report for the last
biennial period.
I can say, as the rulers of nations are always pleased to say,
there is the profoundest peace at home, and we are on good
terms with all the w^orld, or if there is any case where we are
not it is the world's fault, not ours.
380 Report of the State Board op Control.
State Ptvbtic School,
There are one or two ** problems'' here. One — and this is
always the first and greatest — is tha.t of the babies.
The second is the permanent population of the girls' cottage.
The problem of the babies would be very much simplified if
there was some restriction as to the age at which they may be
brought here.
It is the custom of poorhouse managements and of such in-
stitutions as the Beloit "Home" to bring to the State School
their illegitimate product as scon after it is born as the manage-
ments can pack up hnd get here. Thi;is we have had infants
placed in our care this summer from forty-six hours old to a
week or two. Numbers of them have been brought from Beloit
and arrived in very poor condition, the several hours of the
journey having evidently been bad for them. These babies,
or many of them, are poor, weak little things with hardly enough
vitality to take nourishment. They are doubtless the victims of -
the efforts of the mother and father continued through a period
of several months to get rid of them; so that when they come
here there is nothing to build on.
I would like a rule under which no infant under 30 days of
age, and no illegitimate infant under 90 days of age, should be
received here ; and, if it could be enforced, a law providing that
the management of county houses, lying-in hospitals, and the
like, should require the mothers of illegitimate children to nurse
them until they are three months old. This suggestion, it is
unnecessary to say, is in the interest of the infant and not of
the mother.
The number of babies that will be provided for here will, I
have no doubt, continue to increase. On the first of July there
were twenty-six, and this number increased to forty-five during
what we might call the harvest season for this brand of babies,
to-wit, the months of July, August and September.
The capacity of the nursery is about forty, and forty are
really too many for it.
, There are in the jiursery a number of babies, as they are
called, a year and a half to two and a half years of age. They
are too large to be with the infants, and too small to be in the
cottages with large children ; and in cottages A and E there are
Report of the State Board of Control. 381
Superintendent's Report.
six or eight children from three to four who ought to be taken
away and put with these other children in a department by
themselves.
We need more room in the nursery; and because of the ex-
pensive character of the equipment, and the difficulty of secur-
ing competent heads for such buildings, I would change the idea
of ** cottage life'' and small families which pertains to the other
buildings, and make a *' nursery annex" which could be under
the same control as the main nursery building.
Of needed changes and improvements there are many.
There is insufficient room in some of the cottages and in the
administration building to meet the demands that are made
upon it.
The cottage for girls, with dormitories for forty, has fifty-
seven children sleeping in forty-two single 3-foot-wide beds,
and there is not only no room for more bed 5, but there are al-
ready several more than there should be, keeping the health of
the children in mind.
There are a number of children of varying ages in this cot-
tage who will probably never go into homes and stay in them.
They are not quite of the class that should be sent to Chippewa,
probably; and they are not such incorrigibles as should send
them to the Industrial School in Milwaukee. They are too good
to be returned to their counties to grow up in the poorhouses.
They have been sent to private families repeatedly, but always
come back, thus increasing the permanent population. I sup-
pose they will stay here until they are eighteen, after which
there seems to be no provision for their care.
The care and control of this class offers one of the difficult
problems— what to do with eighteen year old girls who have
failed in homes, and who have failed in school, and are not com-
petent to take good positions as servants in families. They
never need care and protection as they need it the day they are
started out to shift for themselves. That there should be some
permanent provision for caring for this class of girls, and for
some boys in a measure like them, seems to admit of no ques-
tion.
382 Report of the State Board of Control.
( State Public School.
The reason why the cottage for girls is crowded is its "per-
manent" population; and this has grown since I came here, on
the first of July. It is likely to continue growing. There are
the girls above mentioned, several cripples, a number of colored
girls, and two or three mixed blood Indian girls, who may have
to be kept in the cottage for years.
There is insufficient sleeping room in the main building; while
the little rooms intended for sitting rooms for the matrons of
the cottages are all used as sleeping rooms for either teachers
or agents, and the matrons therefore have no rooms where they
can go to be alone and rest except their bedrooms.
There is a room iised as a chapel, on the second floor of the
administration building, which could be divided into six fine
sleeping rooms, providing rooms for the teachers and others,
thus leaving the sitting rooms to the cottage matrons.
There are at present three employes entitled, on the basis of
the pay they are receiving, to rooms on the grounds, who sleep
at their homes because there is no room for them in our build-
ings. If they demand rooms as the other employes have them,
or leave, and we are compelled to engage people from away to
take their places, we have no available rooms for them.
The change suggested will give sufficient room for all, if we
can have the third floor of the hospital finished off into rooms
so that the hospital employes can use some of them, giving up
rooms they at present occupy in the main building and the
nursery. The employes of the hospital should have rooms in
the hospital, where they can be within easy reach in case of
necessity.
The third floor of the hospital can be finished into seven or
eight good sized rooms, and there may easily arise conditions
when they will be needed. Last winter there was an epidemic
of measles, forty cases being treated in the hospital at one time.
Had diphtheria broken out at the same time, and half a dozen,
or even two or three, children come down with that malady, the
situation would have been most serious. It would be a problem
what to do under such circumstances if they arise this winter.
The kitchen departments are in unsanitary condition, and are
most inconvenient and uncomfortable, especially during th§ hot

season. Last summer the heat in the kitchens, which are in the
basement of the administration building, was all but intolerable,
and I wonder that the people who worked there could endure it.
If the partitions were to be taken out of the basement, throw-
ing all of the rooms into one large one, and an outside chimney
be built to which ajl of the ranges could be connected, there
could be a circulation of air through the room which would re-
lieve the condition complained of, and make possible sanitary
sinks which are at present the abiding places of innumerable
cockroaches, to get rid of which seems an impossible task with
the construction as it is.
Another advantage of the outside chimney would be felt in
the relief from the heat of the present chimneys in the living
apartments above.
There is at present a large chimney connecting with three
ranges that runs up through the center of the building, form-
ing one side of closets on the three floors, and heating them to
that degree that they can not be used for the sterage of clothes,
and heating the dining and sleeping rooms and the living apart-
ments of the superintendent's family to a degree that makes
them about as uncomfortable as rooms could be. Removing this
trouble would greatly relieve conditions that are at present not
only uncomfortable but manacing to health.
A balcony might be built along the south side of the second
floor, oflp the superintendent's apartments, giving the family an
opportunity it does not at present have, to get fresh air without
going downstair? and out into the yard.
The use of the present chapel for sleeping apartments would
necessitate the construction of a building for an assembly room,
whieh should be on the ground floor, with a gymnasium and
manual training on the second floor, and natatorium in the base-
ment.
Bathing facilities in two of the cottages, those where thirty-
odd small boys are housed, are entirely inadequate. In each of
these two cottages there is but one small bath tub and an un-
satisfactory over-head shower bath, in each case on the first floor,
while it should be in the basement. In the girls' cottage and
the cottage for the larger boys there are five bath tubs in the
384 Report of the State Board of Control.
State Public School,
basements, on wooden floors, without any shower. I would rec-
ommend cemented floors with drains and side showers attached
to hose, so that quick showers could be given to the children at
more frequent periods than once a week, especially during the
hot weather, for all of the cottages.
The outside closets are an abomination, being filthy and im-
possible of sanitary conditions. They are also the congregating
places for the children where things are said and done that are
not conducive to clean morals. There are three of these to
which 140 children go several times a day. And besides being
unfit on every other account, they are much dilapidated. I
would recommend that the plans of the Board, long since made,
for putting closets of improved sanitary construction in the
basements, where there is ample room, be carried out.
No attention has been given to out of dcor gymnastics, or to
playgrounds for the children. During the summer vacation of
two months there is absolutely nothing for more than a hun-
dred small children to amuse themselves with except what they
can get out of two pavilions, the floors of which will not stand
for more than a year to two; and a swing or two, and a
rough merry-go round constructed by themselves. It is little
wonder that these small people find amusement in tearing
down the insides of the closets out in the yard,* and filling the
vaults with whatever movable bricks and boards they can lay
their hands on. They must do something, and do it all ^e
time.
There is so much in the line of modem playgroimd equip-
ment that we can hardly go amiss in getting any part of it.
I should like to see a good start made at fitting up the play-
grounds before the next summer vacation.
The roofs on several of the buildings will have to be renewed
at an early day. All but those of the administration build-
ing and the hospital have been painted this fall, and tin
shingles have been used in large numbers, so that there will
be no leakage this winter, we hope. These roofs may last two
years, but they are old and the shingles are badly rotted.

Superintendent's Report,
FARM.
This farm is a poor, sandy tract, and needs more fertilizer
than can be made for it with the stock we keep. The number
of cows should be increased for the double reason that there
would be more fertilizer and more milk, which is needed, and
which would be economical to have. An addition to the lower
bam, of thirty feet, to make room for twenty more cows,
should be built, extending towards the horse barn.
Another economy of fertilizer would be the construction
of one or two cisterns in the barnyards for liquid manure,
which at present all runs away to the river.
On the subject of the conservation of fertilizer, it is worth
saying that we have gathered up a number of loads of cow
chips from the pastures and places where the cows congregate
at night, and will have it for use on the garden, where it is
much needed, next spring. There will be fifteen or twenty loads
of this.
The bridge across the La Crosse River, which passes through
the farm cutting off a plow lot of 24 acres which has not
been cropped for three years, because it could not be reached,
will have to be renewed. This piece of land has been plowed
this fall. It has before now yielded enough silage to fill the
silo. It will be planted in some way next spring; but the
bridge is very necessary.
Some fencing, particularly about the bam yards, is neces-
sary. These fences are old, the post^ rotted off, and the
appearance is not right for a model institution farm.
There are in the cottages and the main building a large
number of old wooden bedsteads with worn out springs. In
a number of instances two wire mattresses have been used on
one bed because one is not strong enough to hold up. And
the chairs and stands are dilapidated, needing to be renewed.
Many of the rugs and carpets are also worn out and unfit for
further use.
Our garden was at the mercy of the drought last summer,
and proved a failure where it might have been saved by means

of a simple irregation plant, consisting of a cement tank of say,
40' feet diameter and 4 feet deep, the water supply to have
been brought from the La Grosse River, a soft water stream,
by means of a small gasoline engine and pump, with iron
piping. There might have been made a sufficient saving last
summer to pay for the plant; and with such an outfit the
garden and all of the small fruit would be safe, no matter
what the weather may be.
Multiplying these tanks two or more times would make it
possible to take care of the potato fields even in a dry sea-
son. Our crops were burned up long before those on heav-
ier lands had begun to suffer.
There is no adequate internal telephone system, and one is
much needed to connect the office with the engine house, the •
horse bam, the farm house, the nursery, and the hospital, if
not with all of the cottages; and with the house of the engi-
neer and the assistant steward. It seems to me that no argu-
ment is required to make this need plain. A leak in a steam
pipe in one of the cottages, discovered some time after mid-
night, means a trip from the cottage to the main building by
some of the. women, and after the superintendent is aroused,
a trip by him out to the house of the engineer on the further
side of the grounds; a half hour lost, and a lot of discomfort.
This is not exactly a hypothetical case. One like it happened
within the week.
One recent Sunday morning a severe case of diphtheria was
discovered in Cottage A. I went to the cottage, then to the
hospital, then back to the office to telephone; then to the cot-
tage to get the patient ready to move, then to the engineer's
house, Mr. Yenus being the only man on the place to help,
using up half an hour in hustling around the grounds on foot
when the whole thing could have been arranged in five min-
utes by telephone. If it is necessary for the superintendent
to find anybody on the premises, and there is no messenger at
hand, he has to go out and look him up.
With a large number of boys in the school, many of whom
are destined to remain here indefinitely, while others will have
to stay for months if not years, there are needed some facil-
ities for manual training,
Report op the State Board op Control. 387
Superintendent's Report.
There is not a work bench or a set of tools with which a boy
can be taught to do any of the things that every boy should
know. The value of such training needs no demonstration by
me. A boy who is big enough to handle tools ought to know
how to saw a board oif square, and how to make a good joint,
and how to nail together a fair sort of box. If he can be
taught this he can be taught how to do almost anything with
tools; and knowing how to use tools makes his chances to suc-
ceed many fold greater when he goes into a home. The twelve
year old boy who can u^e a saw and plane can do what many
farmers do not know how to do.
What we call our ** Domestic Science" department is doing
good work with the girls, teaching them something about
cooking and sewing. It will shortly have classes of boys learn-
ing the same things. Every boy at twelve years of age should
at least be learning how to set a patch on his trousers, sew
on a button, and dam his stockings, and every boy is to re-
ceive this instruction.
Few of the children know how to do anything without be-
ing watched. I am £?foing on the principle that a child should
be taught how to work, and then held responsible for the work
he is set to do. If he slights his work and is required to do
it all over again he is pretty apt to be careful for a time;
as for instance, in the cleaning of steps, or the washing of
dishes.
The ''Ring^vorm Institute," established two and a half
months ago, has proven a success. The old hospital building
was put in order for the reception of twelve ** patients," and
a competent woman was engaged to take care of it and them.
Dr. Sarles entered into the scheme of ridding the place of the
pest, and of the twelve cases sent to the ''Institute" at the
beginning, and three others that came to the School or broke
out in the cottages, fifteen in all, ten have been returned to
the cottages, cured, while the five remaining will be cured by
the first of the year. It is slow work, but keeping eternally
at it, as at almost anything, brings final success. A ringworm
discovered in time and tackled with vigor, can be cured in
the cottages, I believe, without danger of spreading. At any

rate we look upon this old time trouble as a thing of the past
at i;his institution.
We have accomplished considerable work during the past
five months. We have given the little cemetery a presentable
appearance by clearing out the brush, leveling the lot, and cov-
ering it with black earth brought from the bottoms near the
river; and have seeded it with lawn grass.
There has also been made a plot of the ground, and the
graves are located and named; necessary information being
gleaned from the records. There was no cemetery record
kept by itself.
The coal shed, built of light colored brick, has been painted,
or stained, and looks as if it had been built of the same colored
brick as the other buildings.
The little acetylene gas building at the rear of the main
building has been converted into a room for house supplies,
and the basement was given a cement bottom, and, being
connected with the kitchen department by a tunnel, is now used
for vegetables.
The old main building basement store room has been divided
by a partition, lathed and plastered, one part being used for
a preserve store room, and the other for a pantry for the
lower dining room; and all of the work done is good work.
The farm horse barn has been finished with good stalls for
the horses, and stanchions and calf pens for the. young stock.
The hard wood floor in Cottage A was taken up and relaid
where it was warped and rough.
I have changed the bath room and pantry in the nursery,
putting one where the other was, thus doing away with the
odor from the latter in the children's dining room, and have
put in necessary shelving in that and several other cottages,
and enlarged the lavatory in Cottage C.
The floors of the two pavilions were found to be rotted
around the edges, making them unfit and unsafe for the chil-
dren to play upon. These have been repaired.
The floor in the horse barn has been taken out and a cement
floor put in. The joists were rotted out so as to make the
stable dangerous for the horses.
Bepobt of the State Board of Control. 389
Superintendent's Report.
The farm was littered with pieces of board, sticks of wood,
old boxes, barrel staves, limbs of trees, and a general air of
untidiness prevailed. This has been somewhat remedied, so
that when snow comes we can say that there is not a board or
a stick of wood anywhere on the ground; and we have trimmed
the dead limbs from the trees in the lower woods, picked up
and cut up the fallen timber, cut out the old pines from the
little grove back of the farmhouse, dug out about 100 box
alder trees, trimmed the grass along the borders of all the
walks, trimmed the row of hackberry trees along the front
fence, made a cinder walk between these trees and the fence,
and started the work of making a good road in front with
a split log drag. And we have painted the roofs of nearly
all of the buildings.
We have grubbed out the alders that were growing back
from the river on the pasture land, improving the appear-
ance of that part of the farm very much besides increasing
the space for grazing. The river is going to show prettily
next summer through the alders that are left along its banks.
It seems to me that in the erection and furnishing of the
buildings at the State School, the idea of ** economy'' has
largely been the idea in mind; and time has proven that it
was not always wise economy. The bottom of pretty much
everything has either gone out or has holes in it; and the
buildings are getting old, anyway. We need some generous
expenditures of money to put the property of the School in
such condition as it ought to be in, and to give us the addi-
tional facilities needed.
I will estimate that we shall need in addition to the cost of
maintenance, $35,000 divided as follows:
Girls' Cottage , $8, 000
Nursery Annex 4 ^ 000
Change of Chapel into bed rooms 1, 200

The last two years have added materially to the growth of
the institution. The generous appropriation by the last Leg-
islature has made passible the erection of three new cottages
of the most approved fireproof type, which will be ready for
occupancy well within the present calendar year. This will
complete the buildings of our institution, designed especially
for dwellings, according to the original plans, and provide
accommodations for 1050 inmates.
In the way of permanent improvements, we have made many
cement blocks in the past two winters, when other work was
wanting. Our larger boys assist very materially in this work,
From these blocks have been constructed a large carpenter
and paint shop, enabling us to take the inflammable material,

connected with these two industries, from the basement of a
custodial building, where they might imperil the lives of scores
of helpless children. This work is now established in quar-
ters so commodious and convenient, that the larger amount
that can be accomplished will undoubtedly pay good returns
on the investment and make this more profitable, as well as
safer.
The large tract of wild land which the State, with commend-
able foresight procured at the beginning, is being gradually
converted into tillable soil by those of our boys who are not
adapted to occupations requiring some intelligence.
To utilize this land properly, with the means available for
this purpose, we have constructed a creamery and silo, and
the center and one wing of a cement bam, all fireproof to the
roofs. A second wing will be completed in a few weeks. This
will accommodate sixty-eight cattle over and above our former
herd. We are now able to make all of the butter we need,
besides furnishing all fresh milk necessary for the children.
We expect to increase our dairy as the need of the institu-
tion grows.
The certainty of the grass crop in this section, and the
fact that this work is so well suited to the limited intelli-
gence of our boys, appears to invite the development of this
industry.
We have replaced many of the old wooden walks and steps
with finely constructed cement work. The short period of
service and higher price of lumber make it inexpedient to
replace with the original material.
The local telephone wires, forming an unsightly cable from
building to building, have been placed in a new cement tunnel,
out of sight and readily accessible for repairs as needed.
A new apple orchard has been planted, as we find this fruit
grows well in this climate.
The new diniug hall has been decorated.
The quarrying of all of the rock needed for the concrete
walls, tunnels and floors of all of the new buildings, amounting
to many hundreds of loads, has been done by our boys, under
the direction and instruction of a single attendant.

Superintendent's Report,
In our schools are taught such branches as are taught in the
lower grades of the City Schools. The higher studies are not
attempted. Our children learn much more slowly than the
normal child, and it is impossible for them to fix their atten-
tion for as long a period as those of more stable mind. Their
progress is correspondingly slower. Even had they the memory
and nervous endurance to attack these higher branches, they
have not the mentality to apply them in their daily lives, and
they are readily forgotten.
The best education is the acquiring of such knowledge as can
be used for the future us^efulness and happiness of the indi-
vidual. With this fact in view, manual training, whose value
is now recognized in every good school system, became a
prominent factor early in the history of the education of the
feeble minded, and its scope has increased as its great value
has become more appreciat^nl. This system is applied to our
children's daily work. They are taught the importance and
dignity of labor and they take pride in the duties assigned
them. It is about our only and effective method of punishment
with our older charges, to impose absolute rest in day room, or
dormitory, without the privilege of taking part in the daily
life of the Home. The efficiency of this system with our most
refractory charges demonstrates, as nothing else could, their en-
joyment of the industrial and social privileges in their lives
here, and shows the narrow life of a purely *'care taking"
system. None of our charges are expected, or allowed, to over-
work. The duties of our older and stronger boys and girls,
who work several hours each day on the farm, or at various
household duties, are carefully overseen and directed, as are
those of the young child who does her tiny task before school.
Band and orchestra practice, sloyd, or other hand work,
classes in fine needle work, lace and basket making, or simply
rest periods, come into each day to prevent overwork, and to
bring not only enjoyment, but the increased refinement in the
child's taste, and added ability to do work well.
In the evening, general dances, or other entertainment, is
given at least once a week. The opportunity which the Cottage
system gives for careful grouping of children of the same

mental grade adds much to the social possibilities of our chaises.
In the evenings they will be found in congenial groups, enter-
taining themselves and each other with music, reading, games,
small parties, or other diversions, to close each day. No ex-
pedient has been spared to make our children's residence as
much like home life, as is possible in an institution.
Industrial pursuits of the institution are not conducted for
profit. Its wards are, as a rule, incapable of working independ-
ently, and their work must be planned and supervised. They
are slow in movement as in thought, and they accomplish
much less than the average normal worker. In consequence,
the cost of their oversight increases as their field of usefulness
extends, and the per capita cost of their care does not materi-
ally lessen, and the principal thing gained is a broadening of
their eiyoyment of life, to compensate in some measure for
the affiction of which they are the blameless victim.
. Without instructors to encourage and direct them, they cease
their efforts. Several of our brightest boys have left our
care and have started out to earn their way unaided. They
have either returned to ask for shelter, or have been returned,
having become public charges, or have taken to the road as
tramps. I have not yet learned of a single case, in those chil-
dren I have traced, who has become a desirable unit in the
community.
Our industries are the foundation of our children's happi-
ness. It saves them from the mental degradation which is
inseparable from absolute idleness. To abolish all means of
employment would remove the best means of elevating these
afflicted ones to the highest point of enjoyment and self re-
spect they are capable of reaching. It would abolish the pride
our children feel in their work, and rob them of one of life's
greatest blessings, the consciousness that they take, and fill, a
place in the world's work.
This line of education is generally endorsed by those whose
long and successful experience, and many years of study, en-
title their opinions to respect. It keeps our children con-
tented. It would be safe to say that 95% of our charges
show no desire to leave their home here. As time passes, a
Report op the State Board of Control. 413
SuperintemdenVs Report .
smaller proportion of parents remove their children. Some
of them state the reason that their children miss the friends
they have made in the institution, and find no congenial com-
panionship in the midst of people intellectually above them.
Discontent rarely exists among our children, except among
those born with the wandering instincts; those who are re-
strained by care, which is no more than parental, trom fol-
lowing their animal desires; and those in whom discontent is
created by the unwise counsel of persons who urge them to
go out into the world, absolutely ignorant of how unfit they
are to help themselves over life's hard places.
The buildings now in progress, when finished, will do little
more than accommodate the waiting cases. While the birth
of this class must be materially lessened by the protection
which the State has given the high grade imbeciles of child
bearing age, and may be still further curtailed by wise legis-.
lation, sill further provision will be needed. It would be of
doubtful wisdom to increase the population here. The econ-
omy achieved by maintaining more than 1000 in one insti-
tution is very inconsiderable. It is more than balanced by
the diminished care of details which the management is com-
pelled to give to a larger number. More than that, it is hard-
ship to the public that an institution should be at a great dis-
tance from the residence of its inmates. In the writer's opin-
ion, the interests of the children and the public will be bet-
ter served. by starting a second institution in some portion of
the State distant from this location.
The character of the new institution is also worthy of
thought. Three classes are found in modem institutions for
the feeble minded. The unimpovable, requiring custodial or
^hospital care; the feeble minded proper, or imbeciles, who are
capable of being developed to some material extent; and lastly,
the epileptic.
The question arises whether these should be cared for in
separate institutions, or in a general institution. The latter
proposition is more generally adopted. It goes without say-
ing that they should be cared for in separate buildings, and
that the different groups should not intimately mingle.
414 Report of the State Board of Control.
Home for Feeble-Minded.
In a very few states they have gone further and advocated
a separate institution for each class. This seems unnecessary.
Questions as to which group they would belong would be con-
tinually arising.
A certain number of epileptics, and also the brighter class
of feeble minded are continually retrograding, making fre-
quent transfers necessary. In institutions distant from each
other, this is a cause of considerable trouble and expense, and
on that account, might not be properly attended to. Segre-
gation can be practiced as completely at a distance of two
hundred yards, as it can be at an equal number of miles. By
two or more general institutions of this kind, inmates can be
housed near their families, and save much expense to Ckyon-
ties in the way of transfers.
Much has been said of the necessity of the segregation of
epileptics. Epilepsy and mental deficiency are as closely as-
sociated as branches on the same tree. They are both evi-
dences of disturbed brain action ; in one case, interfering with
the functions of that portion of the brain devoted to thought
and its essential faculties; in the other, occasioning a disturb-
ance of that portion of the same organ which controls mus-
cular movements and subjects them to the will.
Over one-half, and perhaps two-thirds of all the feeble
minded are subject to convulsive seizures at some period of
their lives, and we are never surprised at the appearance of
epilepsy in any feeble minded person. On the other hand,
so small a percentage of epileptics maintain normal mental
action as to be hardly worth consideration. In one report
of a State institution for epileptics in New York, the Superin-
tendent classified only four out of several hundred as being re-
garded as absolutely normal. Even those who retain a nor-
mal mind in the early stages of disease, almost infallibly be-
comes imperfect later. This emphasizes the difiiculty which
would ensue in trying to separate the feeble minded from the
epileptic.
While the individual with occasional spasms might be a
detriment among excitable Insane inmates, and while there is
no doubt that adult epileptics are inclined to be vicious and
Report of tub State Board of Control. 415
Superintendent's Report.
difficult to control, this is not of so much importance among
children. The occurrence of a fit fails to arouse any especial
excitement, or even interest, among our children. They would
watch with amusement the almost hysterical excitement in
persons who view this nervous phenomenom for the first time.
All of our more experienced children will attend to the sim-
ple needs of an epileptic with the adeptness and coolness of
a nurse.
It has been claimed that the presence of epileptics among
non-epileptic children may induce convulsions in the latter
class. If this ever occurs, it must be rare. In twenty-five
years of continuous service, I have never seen such a thing oc-
cur.
I would, therefore, advocate that no separation be at-
tempted in these classes, except as is afforded by the Cottage
system of the modem institution.
Another point calls for earnest consideration. In this, as
in other institutions, there are at least twice as many applica-
tions for unimprovable children as there are for the scli(»ol
grade. Naturally there are very few changes from the cus-
todial department to that of the school grade. Children af-
flicted with epilepsy especially, almost invariably tend to ret-
rograde. Many of the school cases, especially those whose in-
firmity comes through disease, rather than heredity, drift into
custodial care. The demand, therefore, for buildings for the
feebler type will be much greater in tl\e next few years, than
for school cases. Moreover, this institution can probably care
for most of the school eases applying in the immediate future.
I would, therefore, suggest for your consideration, that the
custodial buildings of the next institution be built first, as
was the case in this one.
The new cottages now in process of erection, will complete
the institution as originally designed, with these exceptions,
First, a hospital building. This was asked of the last Legis-
lature, but it was not allowed on account of the more imme-
diate need of devoting all available funds for the erection of
dwellling hoilses for the several' hu'hdred waiting cases. We
have been able thus far, to care for the sick in the two small
416 Report op the State Board of Control.
Home for Feeble-Minded,
rooins available for this purpose. With the early increase of
our number by nearly three hundred new inmates, this will
be no longer possible. We should have a building especially
adapted for this purpose. After careful consideration of our
past needs, and investigation, by inquiry and personal in-
spection, of hospitals of similar institutions, I would recom-
mend that a small hospital with twenty beds be built. I am
confident that this will supply the demand for such provision.
A number of empty beds, in a too large hospital, is an almost
irresistible temptation to move in helpless children from the
custodial room. Their unclean habits make them most un-
desirable associates for the brighter sick children, which would
be forced into close association with them.
Another need is a second school house. Owing to lack of
adequate space in the regular school rooms, we have been
compelled to occupy the school house cellar. This is not prop-
erly lighted, nor is the ventilation the best. Owing to the
springy nature of the soil, these rooms are damp at certain
seasons of the year. We have, furthermore, been compelled
to take a room from one of our custodial buildings, which is
needed for a nursery. We are using a dining room in a
cottage which we will soon have to use to seregate cases of
epilepsy, when we will be obliged to recall this room for its
legitimate purposed
These facts will demonstrate fully the necessity for the
early erection of these two buildings.
While the excess of demand over supply for workers
throughout the country affected this institution to some ex-
tent, we have been fortunate in retaining many of the officers
and employees through several years of service, and their in-
r
fluence and experience keep up the quality of the care of our
inmates in times of temporary shortage. To them, and to those
whose terms of service have been shorter, but whose interest
has been no less earnest, I beg to express my appreciation.
For the ready endorsement of the Board of every proposi-
tion for t&e promotion of the enjoyment and comfort of the
children; for their support of all measures to shield our weak
willed charges from social i>esponsibilities they could not com-

prehend and dangers they would not know how to avoid, by
prolonging the guardianship of the State, where other com-
petent guardianship could not be assured, I beg to extend
my grateful thanks.
This guardianship will curtail the number of defectives
born, and consequently the amount of poverty, crime and suf-
fering incident to their existence, which is only beginning to
be understood. Coming generations will profit largely by,
even if they do not fully appreciate the saving foresight of
the Board in this policy.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
«. Green Bay, July 1, 1908.
To the State Board of Control: —
I respectfully beg leave to j)res:ent to you my report for the
biennial period beginning July 1, 1906, and ending June 30,
1908. This is the sixth report issued from this institution
since it was opened in August, 1898, when twenty-eight pris-
oners were transferred from the State Prison at Waupun
forming the nucleus of a population which has since grown tv,
approximately 300 inmates.
MOVEMENT OF POPULATION.
The inmate population has varied considerably during the
biennial period covered by this report. On July 1, 1906,
there were 283 inmates?. Ihitil that date the average popu-
lation had been steadily increadng for several years with
slight fluctuation. At that date, however, the average monthly
population began to decrease, and continued to decrease w^ith
but little variation until for Uec^eniber, 1907, it reached the
low mark of 252 — the lowest it \v.v\ been for two years, while
the lowest record for anv one diy of that month was 247.
From that date the popu'atioii began to increase quite rapidly
until in May, 1908, it had risen to 21)6 — the full capacity of
the cell house, and it hai remained very close to our cell ca-
pacity ever since, despite the fact th^it the paroling of inmates
was considerably enlarged in order to make room for those
in county jails awaiting admittance. The prospects are that
Fo soon as we complete the main central building, it will be
desirable to begin the construction of the south cell wing in
order to take care of the prospective population, unless the
present agitation against the average saloon shall render more
sleeping acconnnodations unnecessary. Wi^ have sleeping ac-

commodations for 296 inmates and the law wisely provides
that no more than this number shall be received, thus avoid-
ing the necessity of placing more than one inmate in a cell.
the revenues.
The revenues of the institution have fallen off somewhat dur-
ing the past year while the current expenses have somewhat
increased. This was the natural outcome of conditions over
which we had no control. In the first place, during the au-
tumn of 1906 and up to July 1, 1907, there were thirty-five or
forty idle inmates daily who could not be employed, either at
revenue producing industries or upon permanent improve-
ments, for the reason that the revenue producing industries
had their full quota of men and the previous Legislature had
failed to pass any appropriation for the purchase of mate-
rial for the making of permanent improvements. Then, also,
the business depression that began in the fall of 1907 seriously
curtailed the demand for the goods we . were manufacturing
and the contractors who receive our products were unable to
supply us with the usual amount of orders.
Fortunately in this business crisis the gratifying liberality
of the last Legislature enabled us to turn our attention in the
direction of new buildings and much needed permanent im-
provements. These appropriations amounted to $84,500.00 to
be expended as follows:
For the purchase and shipment of granite for use in future
buildings; for the purchase of steel, cement, and other mate-
rials for erecting the rear portion of the main administration
building; for the equipment of a machine shop; for th es-
tablishment of a molding plant; for the purchase of appli-
ances for a tin shop; for the construction of a reservoir.
Estimates indicate the requirement of about 50,000 cubic
feet of granite in the rough which has been shipped in from
the granite quarries at Amberg. A large class of our boys
is now at work cutting and fashioning this granite under an
expert instructor. This affords the boys thus engaged the
opportunity to learn an excellent trade while saving the State
a large amount of money.
Report op tub State Board of Control. 439
Superintendent's Report,
THE MAIN BUILDING.
I
The excavating for the main central administration build-
ing was carried on through the past winter with scarcely any
interruption on account of weather, and as soon as the spring
opened work was commenced on the concrete footings and
brick laying until at present writing the building has reached
the first story above the basement. ]\Iore than fifty boys are
employed at concrete and cement w^ork, brick laying and car-
pentry, w^hile the iron grill work is all being turned out of
our own blacksmith shop and machine shop, thus addng still
further to the number of inmates who are gaining valuable
experience in practical mechanics, and I venture to assert
that our granite cutting, brick laying, concrete work, machine
work, carpentry, etc., wall equal in quality similar work done
by free labor, and at a very large saving of cost to the State.
The building now under construction will add very mate-
rially to the facilities of the institution. The front portion
will contain the admininstration offices, the dormitory for those
officers who reside at the institution, and a large auditorium
capable of seating 1,200 persons. Back of this section will
be a large rotunda into which the present and all future cell
houses will open. The ceiling, 25 feet high, will be supported
by a row of huge columns finished in marble and scagliola.
The rotunda will have marble wainscoting and tiled floor.
Over the rotunda will be two large lecture rooms. To the
rear of the rotunda and forming the central section of the
building will be fifteen class rooms for school and instruc-
tional purposes. The upper story of this section will contain
a gymnasium and drill hall 105 by 60 feet in dimensions. Back
of the class rooms and forming a rear transept will be the
dining room and kitchen, the former having a capacity suffi-
cient to seat 1,000 inmates at one time. The kitchen with its
bakery and cold storage attachment will be fitted with all the
latest improvements. A portion of the 15-foot basement un-
der this spacious structure will be fitted up as a bath room,
with fifty shower baths encirqling a large swimming pool
while other portions of the basement will be devoted to stor-

an acre. This was acquired as was also a small tract of 34
acres mostly of brick clay on which a brick yard was estab-
lished for the manufacture of our own brick.
There still remains to the south of us, and lying next to
our buildings, a tract of 80 a<}res which should be added to
our domains. The extent of woods and marshes included in
the original purchase leaves cur tillable lands even at pres-
ent much less in extent than is necessary for a growing insti-
tution of this kind where farming, gardening and dairying
should be one of the chief industries. Our fine herd of Hol-
stein cows is so rapidly increasing and the market demands
for our surplus vegetables and garden truck so inviting that
not only the question of suitable employment for inmates but
that of agreeable reveaues urges most strongly the desirability
of acquiring as soon as possible the land lying next south of
us, especially since the owners of it are about to plat it with
a view »of selling it off in suburban lots. To have suburban
settlements pressing upon our very doors, with a large num-
ber of trusties roaming over the farm without guards would be
very damaging to the discipline and reserve of the institu-
tion. I cannot, therefore, urge too strongly the pressing
necessity of acquiring the 80 acres of land before mentioned
lying next to our buildings on the south, and trust that the
Legislature, with rare forcj-ight and business acumen, may be
induced 'to make the necessary appropriation therefor. Ass
this tract is now held at exorbitant figures it may be neces-
sary to resort to cammcndation proceedings.
MACHINE SHOP.
During the pa^t few months wo have installed a fine machine*
shop in a secticn of tl:o new power house reserved for that
purpose. Thc^ shop is equipped with lathes, drill presses,
planers, milling machine, punching and shearing machines,
grinders, sawing and cutting tools, pipe cutting and threading
machines, with the necessary work benches, vises and tools
for hand work, making the shop quite complete in every re-
spect. It is needle s to say that the iiiaehin? shop has been

ent building operations require.
the brick yard.
Our brick yard the past two seasons has turned out a large
accumulation of brick for present and future use thus adding
greatly to our home made supply in the building line and sav-
ing a considerable cost to the State in this essential item.
A HOG PALACE.
During the summer of 1907 we erected a new hog house on
the river bank at a suitable distance from the institution. The
structure is quite unique in its appointments. The pens have
concrete floors and outer walls, with brick for the superstruc-
ture. The pens are separated by heavy wire screens swinging
on pivots so that any number of pens may be thrown into one.
The feeding troughs are of concrete molded into the corric^.or
walls and there is an artesian water faucet over every feed-
ing trough, and drainage from every pen, so that any part may
be flushed with the hose. Ventilators extend through the roof
from every pen. The house will accomodate 200 hogs which
is about the average number we keep. The structure was
erected by our own boys and the brick, of course, came from
our own brick yard.
MAIN sewer.
The small winding sewer only six inches in diameter upon
which we have apprehensively depended for the drainage of
our whole institution for so long was replaced during the past
v/inter with a twelve inch r,ewer of vitrified pipe running di-
rectly to the river with a fall of 35 feet in a distance of 1,400
feet into which our sewage ha 5 been turned, thus securing to
us a most excellent drainage system.

wages to inmates.
Under our >system of paying inmates for their labor the
amount of daily wages paid to them for the year ending June
30, 1907, wa^ $8,942.09 and for the past year $7,736.18. Dur-
ing the same time the inmates earned in addition thereto, as
overtime, for the two years respectively $2,753.05 and $2 561.-
37. This makes a total of $21,992.69 we have paid inmates
for labor during the biennial period, over and above their
board. Of course this adds materially to our current expense
account.
what we have made.
Aside from the perman^^nt improvements made by inmate
labor, and such furniture and other appliances as we fabri-
cate for home uses we manufactured during the year ending
June 30, 1907, 99,298 dozen garments in the overall factory,
and for the past year 77,655 dozen. In the broom factory
we turned out 7,902 dozen brooms during the first year and
8 238 dozen during the second year of the biennial period.
We have also made in our tailoring and shoe departments
the following list of goods for our own needs in the institution:
During the year ending June 30, 1907: 11 officers* uni-
forms, 5 pairs officers^ trousers, 3 officers' coats, 3 officers' vests,
127 pairs of leather shoes, 17 pairs of cloth shoes, 108 outgoing
suits for inmates, 56 first grade coats, SS first grade trousers,
41 second grade coats. 54 j)airs second grade trousers, 98 first
grade caps, 81 second grade caps, 167 work shirts, 6 pairs duck
trousers for waiters, 10 table cloths for officers' dining room,
41 kitchen aprons, 265 pillow slips, 39 napkins, 125 sheets, 116
towels, and repaired 5S1 pairs of shoes.
During the year ending elune 30, 1908: 16 officers' uni-
forms, 170 pairs leather shoes, 32 pairs cloth shoes, 160 out-
going suits for inmates, 47 first grade coats, 88 pairs first
grade trousers. 74 second grade coats, 93 pairs second grade
trousers, Si\ first grade ca])s. 41 ; econd grade caps. 492 work
shirts, 24 duck coats for waiters, 11 table cloths for officers'
dining room, 147 kitchen aprons, 502 pillow slips, 9 napkins,
563 sheets, 745 towels.
Report of the State Board of Control. 445
Superintcmlent^s Keport.
During each year we have turned out from 500,000 to
750,000 sand mould bricks in our brick yard. A statement of
the farm and garden products raised will be found in another
place in this report.
READING MATTER.
Although the report of the librarian shows that respectively
7,311 and 8,290 b(K)ks were drawn from the library during the
two years of this biennial period, this does not indicate the
amount of reading compassed by the inmates. There are up-
wards of 1,500 books in the cells owned by the inmates them-
selves and purchased out of their own earnings. INIany of the
inmates are collecting large and valuable libraries of their own
which they take pride in carrying with them when they go
out. In addition, the inmates are allowed the daily news-
papers and the magazines which afford much reading, and
many contributions of old magazines and other reading mat-
ter are constantly received and distributed. It is gratifying
to note the zeal for reading manifested by the inmates.
Although our school room facilities are wholly inadequate
we have maintained our daily recitations as usual and the
school has been doing a good work. Many instances might be
cited of inmates who came here totally illiterate and have
gone out able to read and write excellently.

Superintendeni's Report,
EMPLOYMENT.
The employment of inmates bias been variable owing to tlie
different kinds of work going on. Occasionally large crews are
switched from building and other employment to work on the
farm and garden in weeding or harvest time, and from outside
to inside work as the exigencies of the time may require. Very
few occupations have been steady. The following summary
for the current month will give a general idea of the division
of labor usual in the institution.
Barn, farm and garden 10 to 50
Blacksmith shop 3 to 5
Bookkeeping 4
Brick laying 16 to 20
Brick yard 18 to 24
Broom factory 14
Concrete and construction 20 to 50
Elxcavating 12
Granite cutting 16
Kitchen and dining room 17
Laundry 3
Machine shop 2 to 5
Office 3
Overall factory 120 to 130
Power house 4 to 6
Painting 2 to 4
Tailoring 10
Shoe making 2
Tier tendres 5
MUSIC.
Music is still one of the chief features of pur institutipn. The
military band of 35 pieces keeps up its high standard and alto-
gether 50 to 60 inmates are taking lessons on musical instru-
ments. A class of from 50 to 60 inmates receives vocal in-
struction from Prof. North of Green Bay and a choir of 30
voices furnishes the special music for church services Sunday
afternoon.. This musical talent furnishes the basis for an oc-
casional concert and entertainment by the inmates.
GENERAL HEALTH.
Generally speaking, the health of the inmates has been good.
We have had no contagious diseases to contend with except,
29— S. B. C.

Wisconsin State Reformatory.
perhaps, an occasional case of tuberculosis. In such cases the
patient is usually sent home on invalid parole as soon as the
symptoms become authenticated. There have been three deaths
from tuberculosis, during the past two years, of inmates who
had no home or friends to send them to.
In Conclusion.
In conclusion I desire to extend my thanks to his excellency
the governor and to the State Board of Control for their uni-
form courtesy and co-operation in all matters pertaining to the
management and welfare of the institution.
Respectfully submitted,
C. W. BOWRON,

FIRST BIENNIAL REPORT
OP THE
WISCONSIN STATE TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIUM
FOR THE
Biennial Period Ending June 30, 1908
OFFICERS
DR. C. A. PATTLL Superintendent
FRANK X. HCHOEN Steward
LE VINA S. DEITRTCHSON Matron
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the State Board of Control:
I have the honor to present herewith the first report of the
State Tuberculosis Sanatorium.
My duties beginning April 1, 1907, I am unable to make any
report prior to that time. At this time there were under con-
struction the following: Administraion Building, Refectory,
Power House and two cottages for patients. These were com-
pleted during the following summer and early fall. Work was
also begun, at this time on the Laundry, Stable, Root Cellar,
Pump. House and two additional cottages for patients. This
was from the appropriation of $30,000 granted by the Legisla-
ture of 1907. These buildings were sompleted during the win-
ter and spring of 1908.
The Sanatorium was opened for patients on November 7,
1907. Since then there have been admitted 113 patients. Of
this number 62 have been discharged, leaving in the Sanatorium
June 30, 1908, 51 patients. Of the 62 discharged patients 14
remained at the Sanatorium less than one month and are there-
fore not reported on in the statistical table, because no definite
statement can be made regarding the pulmonary condition in
such a short time. This leaves us 48 to be reported on. Of
this number 4 have been sent to their homes as apparently
cured and 12 have had the disease arrested. The classifica-
tion of cases has been in accordance with the one adopted by'
The National Association for the' Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis and is as follows :
Incipient — Slight initial lesion in the form of infiltration limited to the
apex of one or both lungs, or a small part of one lobe.
No tuberculosis complications. Slight or no constitutional symp-
toms (particularly including gastric or intestinal disturbance or
rapid loss of weight).
Slight or no elevation of temperature or acceleration of pulse at

dence of destruction of tissue.
Or disemminated fibroid deposits.

tional. ^
Localized consolidation intense.
Or disseminated areas of softening.
Or serious complications.
Acute Miliary Tuberculosis, Unimproved — ^All essential symptoms ana
signs unabated or increased.
Improved — Constitutional symptoms lessened or entirely absent; phys-
ical signs impioied or unchanged; cough and expectoration usually
present.
Arrested — Absence of all constitutional symptoms, expectoration and
bacilli may or may net be present; physical signs stationary or
retrogressive; the foregoing conditions to have existed for at least
two months.
Apparently Cured — All constitutional symptoms and expectoration with
bacilli absent for a period of three months; the physical signs to
be those of a healed lesion.
Cured— All constitutional symptoms and expectoration with bacilli ab-
sant for a period of two years under ordinary conditions of life.
As our law now reads, we are obliged to take in rather ad-
vanced cases, cases that need hospital attention. As we have
no suitable place for such cases, they have to be put in the
cottages with the others. At one time last winter it was nec-
essary to use the Reception Room and Matron's Office in the
Administration Building for some very sick cases. It is also
very depressing to the others in the cottages to have the very
sick persons near them, to say nothing of its not being a suit-
able place for the advanced cases. Also there should be a
place where the patients could be put on entrance and so have
them under closer observation. An Infirmary would answer
for both purposes, and I would recommend that such a build-
ing be built at an estimated cost of $15 000.
IVIore cottages for patients will shortly be needed. Our
present cottages are now nearly filled and applications are be-
ing received daily. Since last November we have had an av-
erage increase of over 6 patients per month. At this ratio we
will need to increase our present capacity of 80 to 150, which
is the present capacity of the patients' dining-room. For cot-
tages for these 70 patients we will need $17,000. At present

Superintendent's Report.
the patients use one end of the dining-room for an amusement
hall, but this will not much longer be feasible from the rapid
growth of the Sanatorium. We will soon need a separate build-
ing for this purpose at an estimated cost of $10,000.
A bakery is greatly needed. This should be built for $1500.
At present there is no place for the employees to gather and
their present temporary dining-room is crowded. An addition
to the Refectory would solve this problem. The estimated cost
of this addition would be $3500. A pjiazza should be built on
the front of the Refectory where the patients could congre-
gate, at present there is no place where they can come together.
This ought to be built for $500.
The money appropriated for the Superintendent's Residence
had to be spent for other things, so the Residence has not been
built. I would recommend that $10,000 be appropriated for
this puri)0se.
Our present Coal Shed is inadequate and I would recommend
that $1500 be appropriated for enlarging the same. There
should be cottages for the employees. These would cost $5000.
Much is needed to be done in grading and improving the
grounds; an estimated cost of this work would be $10,000.

INSTRUCTORS
WlllUm Schroeder Instructor
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Honorable State Board of Control:
Gentlemen : — It becomes my duty and pleasure at this time
to again submit to you my report, showing the condition and
progress of the Wisconsin Workshop for the Blind during the
biennial period ending June 30, 1908.
Since my report of two years ago the number of the men
employed in the Workshop has steadily increased and it will
Qot be many years before a hundred blind men will earn their
living in our institution.
It is greatly to be regretted that we have not the room and
the general arrangement which is necessary to do the work
practically, properly and economically.
No one owning and operating a willow ware factory would
ever think of a cut up arrangement such as we have in our in-
stitution, which state of affairs is due only to the fact that our
shop rooms and storage rooms are disconnected and that as
a consequence we are much hampered in the disposition of all
departments to a more proper end.
As it now is the goods must be handled oftener than would
be necessary in a workshop specially arranged for our pur-
posses and consequently the blind workmen receive less wages
than they would if we had proper facilities.
We have long ago passed the experimental stage and the
Wisconsin Workshop for the Blind may well be considered
a permanent institution. This being the case the advisability
of having proper and permanent quarters should be given due
consideration by the next legislature.
Our present yearly rental is $1284.00 equal to an invest-
ment of $32,100 at four per cent, at which rate the State could
procure the money. About $35,000 to $40,000 used for the
purcahse of suitable property or the building of a factory
would not materially increase the annual expense to the State,

while it would be of great benefit to the blind workmen and
the means of doing more md better work.
Taking into consideration that for the past two years we
have been handicapped by the fact that all our rooms are
separated and disconnected we have nevertheless been advanc-
ing steadily as seen from the following figures :
During the year 1903-1904 we paid to the workmen $403.61;
1904-1905 $2327.80; 1905-1906 $4328.29; 1906-1907 $5430.54;
and the year 1907-1908 $7852.80. This will make in the year
1907-1908 a total weekly average of $6.44^ for all men em-
ployed.
The sales for the year 1903-1904 amounted to $850.18 ; 1904-
1905 $3,042.21 ; 1905-1906 $6,110.29 ; 1906-1907 $11,157.10 and
in the year 1907-1908 to $14,808.96.
We manufactured in the year 1903-1904, 2870 buggies and
1020 baskets; in 1904-1905, 4497 buggies and 4903 baskets;
1905-1906, J532 buggies and 8676 baskets; in the last two years
June 30, 1906-1907 we made 922 buggies and 13,113 baskets
and in the year 1907-1908, 17,898 baskets.
It is to be regretted that so little willow is raised in this
country and we are still obliged to buy the greater part of
our supply from Europe.
I was in hopes that other State institutions would follow
the good example set by Dr. W. A. Gordon, Supt. of the
Northern Hospital, who now annually furnishes us with about
10,000 lbs. of willow at 5 cts. per pound.
If a few acres of land be set apart for the raising of willow
in every institution it would not only be a good source of
income for the institution but also a great help to our work-
shop.
Until this is done generally by our . institutions we are
obliged to buy outside and as our room for storing willow, is
limited we must buy in small quantities and so are unable to
take advantage of the greatly varying market price. With
proper building and sufficient room for storing our material,
we could save a considerable amount to the workmeji and the
State.

Superintendent 'i Report.
year 1906-1907 was $3376.25 and for the year 1907-1908
$1339.67.
The expense of the State for the yeear 1906-1907 amounteo
to $4703.21 and for the year 1907-1908 to 4644,98 this in-
cluding the rent.
With 30 to 35 men employed in the workshop, the average
expense to the State for each one has been from $106 to $117
per year, less than half the amount expended in similar insti-
tutions of other states in the Union.
How wel! the authorities in other statea think of the work
done in the WiBConsin Workshop for the Blind is best seen
from the report lately made by a eommittee appointed by the
New York Legislature whieh reports as follows:
"One of the most interesting and so far most successful ex-
periments in endeavoring to solve the question of how best to
aid the adult blind is that which has been conducted since
1903 in the city of Milwaukee. While the experiment in Wis-
consin has been conducted for about three years only, we be-
lieve that it gives greater promise of success than the great
majority of experiments in this country on behalf of the adult
blind."
Sincerely hoping that you will continue your interest in our
Workshop and use your kind influence with the next L^:iBla-
ture to have suitable and permanent quarters provided, I am,
Tours Respectfully,
