CURING THE INSANE
By FREDERIC
TOLEDO. Ohio November t Here In
Toledo the cottage system of housing
the insane was first adopted tn the
Vnlted States. When first s urges ted
twenty-five years ago It was sneered at
(lorn led. and because of Its uapopuharity
had innumerable obstacles thrown In Its
way by uniformed politicians. The plan
was called by some "BrlnkerhofTe Folly."
by some "Foster's Folly." and one Ohio
worker in like Institutions likened It unto
a cattle ranch. But Governor Foster and
(Jeneial Rrlnkerhoff knew the success
that had followed such plans abroad and
calmly surmounted their difficulties until
the novel institutional plan was complete
and In 1885 the Toledo hospital was
opened and several hundred patients
placed there.
Public opinion lias changed a great deal
In this quarter of a century. The ability
to change the point of view is said to be
a mark of progress. This very plan that
was ridiculed when Inaugurated has be-
come the model on which every new hos-
pital for the Insane Is being built In this
country. They are ytrt more of the older
plan of one large building but that the
newer ones follow this. The Idea calls
for a big central office building as the
one here a great trlck structure where
the superintendent lives and where the
official inisines of the place Is discharged;
one or two large community dining halls
a hospital for men. a hospital for women
and then all about these on a campus of
severa I I u ud red acres fireproof brick
cottages for the unfortunates.
There are tweitt six cottages here
each accommodating forty men or women
with two or thre nurses In attendance.
Kach is made as near like a home as
possible with conifortable sleeping quar-
ters ami living rooms and every incentive
to normal living and normal occupations.
The pa Hen is treated here an annual
average of isisr are from the twenty-four
northwestern .-tmr.tlcH of the State of
Ohio. Of I hese lf per cent are cured. If
this percentage is cured here It follows
that were the same means used in all
other public and private hospitals for the
insane there would be over 23500 persons
released In a reasonable time from tho
2H public and private institutions named
in the last special census.
4
The first principle of the cure here is
to always consider the patient as a nor-
mal being and keep him or her. ouuioois
as much as possible The slogan "Hack
iti nature" is sounded here as clearly as
by any follower of some new outdoor
cult but it haa a more practical applica-
tion. Lvery man capable of being trusted
with a ttnl is given work on the farm
or in t he garden or on the lawn or If
he can not work he is kept oufDoors
much of the time anyway. Two hundred j
do suet ess. u I outdoor work and most
cures are made among these. The women
patients are given house work wiLh plen-
ty of outdoor exx'reise. if they are not too
afflicted to do he simple tasks and if
they are. they e sent outdoors under
charge of attendants. Here as in re-
formatories schools and homes for other
defectives it Is found wisest and beat to
keep the hands employed.
When a patient is suffering frnm a hal-
lucination one of the six physicians here
who are continually making their rounds
calls several times a day on such a pa-
tient and step by step tries to develop
the reasoning faculties and then shows
the absurdity of the Idea. Of those who
suffer from fixed delusions two-t birds
are deemed Incurable. They are taught
to doubt the existence of the delusion
often with good results. AM the while
the patient Is kept from disturbing; in-
fluences Is given plenty of wholesome
food and all posaiole outdoor life. Tho
more violent ones receive constant atten-
tion ami are more apt to improve than
the ones suffering from melancholia.
.i r- ...met ! icf W- irovlAed
There is an amusement ball here suid J
from the first of September until the
last of July there is a weekly dance for
the patients. In summer ibere are out-
door amusements. The employes of the
institution have organized a land which
furnishes good music thai Is a source of
great pleasure to the inmates and they
are entert allied by baseball and athletic
contests hy these same untiring wardens.
In the chapel sen-Ices are held for them
and the idea of simple normal living is
exemplified at every turn In many re-
spects the institution here at Toledo is
mil so up-to-date as many of the ones
that have bee-n patterned after it. but
the prestige it established for itself a
charter of a century ago in the face of
opposition still remains.

the old "straight jacket" days are pass-
