Atlanta, Ga. —Following a thorough investigation of the charges of cruel ty and mismanagement lodged against the authorities of the state asylum at Milledgeville, the commission appoint co for that, purpose has submitted to Governor Brown a scathing report of conditions at the asylum which the investigation revealed. After asserting that inmates are dy ing of tuberculosis, whose deaths are chargeable- to the neglect of the au thorities; that the attendants are in competent; that conditions generally are insanitary, that cruel treatment of inmates has been proved in several instances, arid that the sanitarium, if not improved,/gdll degenerate into a death trap, tM report closes with the significant declaration that “this Sleepy Hollow needs waking p, and should be forced to keep up with mod <rn progress.” The investigating commission was composed of Dr. Willis G. Westmore land of Atlanta, Seaton Grantland of Griffin, and Judge W. F. Jenkins, of Eatonton. Judge Jenkins does not concur fully in the report, but sub serbies to its principal features. The report states that Ihe super visor of the institution is a man 80 years old and is incapable, on account of his age, to discharge his duties, it is charged that the staff of physi i cians is woefully inadequate and that as long as present conditions remain unchanged the institution will serve as a place of detention, but not of (lire. The removal of the high wall around the building is suggested in order that more light and air may be per mlttcd, and larger and more commod ious quarters, especially for those affictcd with consumption and other diseases is set forth as impearative. The commission investigated the charges that certain attendants had aided in tile escape of several fe males and had detained them in the basement of a building one or two weeks lor immoral purposes. ‘ These men were tried and alt ho there seem ed to be no question of their guilt, they were acquitted by the jury.” say the re|»ort. Regarding the menace of tuberculo sis in the asylum, the report says: ‘•’Tuberculosis is the greatest dan ger to the health of this institution. In looking over the reports, we find that this condition - was recognized by the authorities and that in 1906 they requested an appropriation of $15,000. We also find that they had on hand a balance of $9,917.55 *( with which to guard against any emergen cy which may arise) In the words of the report. It appears to us that no greater emergency can or will ever, arise than the care for these people. There were 12) deaths from tubercu losis that yeai. These are deaths from an infectious, preventable dis case. These deaths should be charg ed. to the authorities of this institu tion. for with proper care they could prevent 'hem." "Another pernicious evil is the im proper classification or rather assign ment of patients. It is obvious that nothing is more likely to prevent and retard the convalescence of these inmates than their association and frequent contact in which there is neither affinity nor community of tastes. ’"There are now 325 epileptics. 154> idiots and 52 feeble-minded children, scattered thru the wards of this insti tution -531 patients that have no business in an Insane asylum and that are certain to arouse the resentment <4 any class of Insane. "These mischief-making, trouble brewing epileptics are simply 325 unit! of discord, and we are sure that a greater portion of the trouble in wards where they are located is due to them. They tease patients, are i'-ritable. start rows and fights, and in every way prove a nuisance to the others. "There is hut one agreed plan of ■ handling these epileptics, that of seg regating and colonizing them. There >s ample ground at the state sanita rium to start a colony for these un fortunates. and it could be made prac tically self-supporting. They would be benefittod and some cured where all is now hopeless. They now cost the state $41,275 per year. The au thorities liavebeenrequesting an ap propriation for this purpose since 1905. "The basic wrong at the ayslutu is due to the small appropriation they receive from the state. Experience has proven that with so small an amount competent care can not be given this class of patients and an institution with only 34 to 35 cents per capita a day can be considered as a place of detention and net of cure “This question has been tHed out iu many asylums and 50 cents per capita, per diem, has been found to I the least amount that - anything like propr- care of this class of pa tteats can be had for."
