Georgia Sir The Trustees of the Lunatic Asylum respectfully submit this as the Annual Eeport for the ten 10 months extending from December 1st 1877 to September 30th 1878 both inclusivethe end of the fiscal year of this Institution as stated in our Report for 1877 having been changed from 1st December to 1st October in each year to conform to the meeting of the Legislature under the new Constitution We also submit herewith the Reports for the same time of the Superintendent and Steward of said Institution which we believe will furnish your Excellency and the Legislature all information in detail that may be desiredof the operations and conduct of the Asylum the report of the Treas urer is not as usual herewith submitted as B R Herty Esq our late worthy and efficient Treasurer departed this life on the 7th of October 1878 thieedays before the time when his Annual Report should have been submitted and in conse quence of his sickness and death it was not prepared The absence of his report however will not prevent a full under standing of the operations of the Asylum as his books and monied transactions agree exactly with those of the Steward so that they can be fully understood by reference to the Re port of the Steward From the reports herewith submitted it appears that the expenses of maintenance of every kind for the ten 10 months is seventythree thousand two hundred and ninetyone dol lars and fortyone cents 73291 41 for an average of about seven hundred and twentyfive 725 patients for the ten months the number on the 1st of December 1877 hav ing been six hundred and seventythree 673 and increasing to seven hundred and fortytwo 742 on the 1st October State Lunatic Asylum 1878 the expenses per capita per diem including every thing being thirtyfour cents and 55100 While the ex penses of the Institution have thus been lessened the Trustees with confidence assert that its organization and management were never more efficient than now nor the inmates better provided with food and raiment and all else tending to ad minister to the wants of mind and body It is with pleasure they acknowledge that this state of efficiency is in a great degree owing to the improvements introduced by the late Dr James F Bozeraan and his associates some years since Of the amount appropriated by the Legislature for the maintenance of the Asylum for the twentytwo months from December 1st 1876 to October 1st 1878 4062500 has not been drawn from the Treasury and which amount unexpend ed will be still further increased by December 1st 1878 as will appear by reference to the Report of the Steward while the average number of patients in the Asylum has been fully one hundred in excess of the number in the Institution at the time the appropriations were made This reduction in the cur rent expenses is owing to the lower cost of supplies of all kinds and more rigid economy introduced in every direction where it could properly be done At first sight it may seem that the item of wages is un necessarily large but this will be found to be more apparent than real as this item embraces not only the pay of the ordi nary laborers engaged upon the farm garden and in other like employments but also of those who do the cutting and hauling of wood for this large establishment of those who make the gas and of the laborers in the laundries and ma chine shops of the carpenters and the cooks and of nearly seventy attendants and nurses for the patients Since the Institution was made free to all the citizens of Georgia many persons decrepit both in body and mindmen women and childrenare brought to the Asylum almost in extremis frequently living a few days only after admit tance still they cannot be turned away as they are com mitted according to the forms of law and humanity forbidsReport of Trustees 5 that they should not be cared for These cause a considera able addition to the expense account under the item of labor in providing for their wants In the Report of the Trustees to Governor Smith in 1874 on tlie sixth page attention is called to claims due the Asylum by the States of Alabama and Florida for the maintenance of indigent citizens of those States and duly commited under their statutes The claims against the State of Florida have been adjusted and paid but we regret to be compelled to add that the repeated efforts of the Trus tees first to the Governor and then to the Legislature of the State of Alabama have failed to produce any favorable re sult and we have been unable to obtain any setlement what ever of the account The amount due by the State of Alabama on the 1st October 1878 was eighteen thousand and twentynine dollars and twentyone cents 1802921 and four 4 of the patients from that State still remain in the Institution and are cared for as our own citizens are hence the amount of the indebtedness of that State is in creasing day by day The Trustees deem it their duty to bring this matter to the attention of your Excellency as all means in their power to obtain liquidation or payment of the amount have been exhausted The following appropriations are asked for forthe year ex tending from the 1st December 1878 to 1st December 1879 ESTIMATE FOR MAINTENANCE FOR 1879 Subsistence 37 Clothing 7ooo 00 Fuel and Transportation 8500 00 Salaries 10500 00 Wages 24000 00 Medical Supplies 1250 00

Heretofore some amounts although not large have been realized from pay patients but as the Asylum is how free to all the citizens of the State and inasmuch as the Trustees have collected all or very nearly all of the outstanding lobts due the Asylum it will have to rely entirely for its support for the next year upon the appropriations to be made by the Legis lature still the amount asked for is not as large by nearly seven thousand dollars 700000 as was the appropria tion for maintenance made for the year 1875 when there were 595 inmates only 147 less than were in the Institution on October 1st 1878 In addition to the above appropriation required for the ordinary expenses of the Institution the Trustees ask permis sion to use twentyfive thousand dollars 2500000 or so much thereof as may be necessary of the unexpended Ap propriations made for the maintenance of the Asylum up to December 1st 1878 to enlarge the buildings for the colored patients to finish and fit up a number of rooms iu the main building which may be made available to remove the remains of the plastering and make repairs to the front and other parts of the main building and also other necessary en largements and improvements The enlargement of the buildings occupied by the negroes is an immediate and press ing want those now in use are too much crowded and a num ber of colored persons have been committed in various coun ties of the State to be sent to the Asylum who are now confined in jail in their respective counties because there is not room in the Asylum to accommodate them Although the sum of forty thousand six hundred and twentyfive 40 62500 dollars has been appropriated and is in the Treasury subject to the draft of the Trustees still as the appropriation was made for the ordinary maintenance of the Institution after consultation with your Excellency and the Attorney General the Trustees determined not to stretch the letter of the law by diverting any part of this amount from the pur pose for which it was appropriated by using it in the con struction of buildings and new improvements but preferredReport of Trustees to ask the Legislature through your Excellency for authority to apply twentyfive thousand 2500000 dollars or as much as may be necessary of the amount of theappropria tiou undrawn for these purposes The officers of the Institution generally have performed their various duties to the satisfaction of the Board of Trus tees and were all reelected for another year except that Mr Thomas T Windsor was elected Treasurer in place of B R Herty deceased and Rev G T Goetchius Chaplain in place of Rev J H Allen who was not a candidate for reelection Before closing this report the Trustees feel it their duty to again bring to the notice of the Legislature a subject which seems to them of the greatest importance to the State and its citizens so much so that although it has often been suggested in the reports of the Trustees and of the Superintendent they again call the attention of the Legislature to it By ref erence to this and former reports it will appear that the number of inmates in the Lunatic Asylum is increasing about at the rate of seventyfive a year so that by the end of 1879 the wards of this Institution both those for white and colored patients will be filled to their utmost capacity what then shall become of this class of our unfortunate fellowciti zens who shall be forced to seek this Asylum And among them there will no doubt be some of the best people of the State as is now the case Two plans only suggest themselves to the Trustees either to found and erect a new Asylum or to enlarge greatly the present one The Trustees do not think it proper that they should do more than present the matter to the attention of the Legisla ture leaving to them the adoption of such measures as their wisdom may devise Respectfully submitted L N WHITTLE President R L MOTT JAS S PINCKARD T F NEWELL S P MYRICK HamBngamm SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT State Lunatic Asylum Near Milledgeville Ga October 11878 To L N Whittle E L Mott James S Pinckard T F Newell S P Myrick Trustees State Lunatic Asylum GentlemenIncompliance with your resolution I here with respectfully submit the Eeport of this Institution embracing the period from December 1st 1877 to October 1st 1878 including such reports from subordinate officers tables etc as may be desirable to furnish satisfactory infor mation in relation to the operations within the period stated present condition and wants of the Institution And in sub mitting this report I would not be forgetful of the obligation to render unfeigned thanks to the beneficient author of all our mercies whose kindness has brought us through this period in the enjoyment of freedom from any serious disaster and having realized a very fair amount of success in the pro motion of the general welfare of the Institution and the ame lioration of the condition of its unfortunate inmates whose condition of all the ills to which mankind arc subject is most to be deplored and more urgently pleads for our sympathy and kind offices Within the period embraced in this report we have with a brief interval suffered as heretofore the evils of an over crowded institution and have reached a period at which if it is the purpose of the State to make provision for the care of all the lunatics epileptics and idiots within its borders not to mention demented inebriates whom the law demands should be received when some extension of the buildings required for their accommodation must be made And if a separate Institution for the care of the idiots as heretofore pre viously and repeatedly urged cannot be secured then it would HOBH Superintendents Report be best to erect at some point in the Northeastern section of the State a comparatively small Institution for the recep tion of all the different classes which may be subsequently extended as necessity requires I should deprecate any extension of this Institution for whites Unhappily there is a manifest increase of these maladies throughout the country I know of no public institution of the kind in the United States from which the complaint of being over crowded does not come Our department for colored patients has been in such condition for several months and we have a number of applications for the reception of that class of patients on rec ordawaiting the occurrence of vacancies With the only buildings we have that can be allotted to them we shall con tinue to be unable to meet the demands upon us for their admission And if we are required to continue to receive them those buildings must be enlarged But that it would appear scarcely worth while from our past experience I would again urge the positive necessity that there should be some such modification of the law as would protect the Insti tution from the serious imposition that is very frequently practiced of emptying the county poor houses into it Upon the establishment of the merest shade of mental disorder or imbecility the lame the halt the blind and well nigh dying are readily sent to the Asylum And if committed according to the forms of law we must receive them and cannot dis charge them so long as unable to certify that they are of sound mind And their presence in the Institution may and indeed has operated the exclusion of dangerous lunatics and the subjects of recent mania whose restoration might rea sonably be expected if they could be promptly placed in fav orable circumstances for treatment The general operations of the Institution have been satisfactorily conducted and gradual improvement effected in every department of its affairs The recent work accomplished for more thoroughly heating the Institution and the renewing the floors in the old buildinginthe Female Department are specially valuable im provementsi HWaHHI iHHiHH 10 State Lunatic Asylum I would again suggest the propriety of endeavoring to obtain from the approaching

His Excellency Alfred H Colquitt Governor of Georgia Sir The undersigned respectfully present the following as the Annual Report of the Trustees of the Lunatic Asylum for the year extending from October 1st 1878 to September 30th 1879 both dates inclusive They also submit herewith the Annual Reports for the same time of the Superintendent Steward and Assistant Steward Treasurer Chaplain and Matron which with their exhibits will furnish a full understanding of the working of the Insti tution for the year From these reports it will be seen that the expenses of main tenance of every kind including also the cost of rebuilding the stable and barns the purchase of about twentyfive acres of land with three houses the purchase of which was necessary to protect our buildings owing to proximity and the pay tor six months of a fourth physician whose employment was found necessary has been 8962919 for an average of seven hun dred and fortyeight patients during the year making the ex pense per capita per diem thirtytwo and ninetenth cents rather less than for the year previous This low rate of expense for maintaining the patients which it is believed is as low if not lower than in any other like In stitution in the Southern States it is feared may not be main tained in the future as already there is some increase in the price of provisions and other necessary supplies which may continue to appreciate and thus increase the expense of maintenance State Lunatic Asylum The improvements contemplated by the Legislature and for which a special appropriation was made were commenced soon after the Act was passed and are progressing satisfactorily the use of the brick and other materials from the old penitentiary will prove as was anticipated a saving of several thousand dollars to the State and insure the completion of the buildings at an earlier day The Trustees propose during the coming year to add to the facilities for improving the moral treatment of the patients as recommended by the Superintendent in his report so far as the means at their command will allow None of the buildings or other property connected with the Asylum are under insurance and it seems to be the policy of the State to assume the risk herself as no insurance has been effected upon the property since the war if at any time before some of the Trustees when they appeared before the committees of the Legislature in the month of July last brought this mat ter to their attention and suggested that some action be taken by the Legislature upon the subject so that the Trustees might be instructed whether to have insurance effected or not but as no action has yet been taken they think it proper thus to bring the subject formally to the notice of your Excellency The Trustees are satisfied with the management of the Insti tution for the last year and feel assured that its general condi tion in all its departments is being steadily improved and that it is as well organized and conducted as ever before although complaint of maltreatment and neglect of one patient has been made to the Legislature the Trustees are unanimously of the opinion after fully investigating the facts aud circumstances of the case that the charges are groundless and that the officers and employees of the Institution especially those in immediate charge of the patient are free from blame in the matter Since the last Eeport of the Trustees the venerable Dr Thomas F Green for more than thirtythree years the Superin tendent and Eesident Physician of the Georgia Lunatic Asylum has departed this life On Tuesday 11th February 1879 he ap peared in his usual health and was performing his daily routine of duties and while thus engaged in the afternoon of that day m mm Report of Trustees fell upon the floor stricken with apoplexy Athough every attention was given him he had two other attacks and died on the morning of the following Thursday the 13th of February 1879 aged 74 years 1 month and 18days Dr Green had seen the Institution grow up under his foster ing care from a small affair with only about sixty patients to its present dimensions with seven hundred and thirtyeight in mates under his treatment and had for years looked upon it and acted towards it as his child in rearing this magnificent monument of the States charity he not only illustrated his own life but as well the State of Georgia Since the last report the Institution in the death of Col James S Pinckard one of the Board of Trustees for nearly five years has also met with a great loss Col Pinckard like Dr Green seemed in full health till a day or two before his death when on July 27th 1879 he quietly and suddenly passed away Aged 69 years 4nonths and 4 days His life had been one of quiet unselfish usefulness in his sphere and few if any purer or better citizens have lived or died in Georgia his native State Respectfully submitted L N WHITTLE President R L MOTT T F NEWELL S P MYRICK W H HALL M DSUPERINTENDENTS REPORT State Lunatic Asylum Near Milledgeville Ga October 1st 1879 To the Trustees of the Georgia Lunatic Asylum Gentlemen As you are aware Dr Thomas F Green the Superintendent of this Institution for thirtythree years died on the 13th of February 1879 and the duties devolved upon me as Superintendent pro tempore until your meeting of the 2lst February when I was elected as his successor In the death of Dr Green this Institution lost a faithful Superintendent and the community a valuable citizen Due and proper tribute was made to the memory of this good man His portrait hangs on the wall of our public parlor a blank leaf with name date of birth death and time he was the Superintendent with photo graph form a page of your minutes and a resolution has passed your body to erect a tablet as a tribute to his memory In conformity with the requirements of the law I have the honor herewith respectfully to submit for your consideration the Annual Report of this Institution together with the Stewards Treasurers and other officers giving a detail account of its operations and management from the 1st of October 1878 to the 30th September 1879 both inclusive On the 1st of October 1878 there were seven hundred and fortytwo patients in the Institution During the year we have received two hundred and nine There have died and been dis charged one hundred and ninetyseven leaving on haud 1st of October 1879 seven hundred and fiftyfour The average number of patients in the Institution and under treatment was seven hundred and fortyeight while the whole

past twelve or eighteen months we have been so crowded in the negro department that we could only receive the colored insane as vancancies occurred we have now on file Application for Colored Males21 Application for Colored Females26 Application for Colored sex not given 9 State Lunatic Asylum Up to this time we have received all recent or dangerous cases of whites We are being very much crowded and prin cipally with the chronic and almost incurable cases I very much fear that if tiiey continue to come in as they have done in the past few months other provisions will have to be made Of the deaths thirty resulted from epilepsy sixteen from paralysis eight from general debility and old age nine from marasmus seven from exhausted mania six from chronic dysen tery three from phthisis three from apoplexy two from heart disease one from nervous prostration one from cholera morbus one from erysipelas one from carbuncle one from measles and one from pneumonia Although the cares and anxieties of the Institution have been constant and great we have much to make us truly grateful to a kind and merciful Providence Notwith standing we have a large number of suicidal and pyromaniacal cases we have met with no serious accident The death rate appears large but upon examining the causes it will be seen that only a very few resulted from acute or curable diseases and then it must be remembered that many were brought upon us almost in extremis some of them living but a short time after reception many others having their constitution broken down by long duration of mental disease IMPROVEMENTS Your frequent visits and examinations render it unnecessary to enter into a minute description of improvements but not so witli the public generally they obtain their information through our reports aud this must be my apology for entering into detail SEWERS AND WATER CEOSETS Four hundred and thirtyfour feet of twelve inch sewer pipe have been laid on the west end of main sewer leading from the female buildings which makes the outlet one thousand two hun dred feet from the buildings Twelve hundred square feet of surface drain built of brick laid in cement mortar running parallel with the male and fe male new wings Two surface drain traps in the wing basements prevent theSuperintendents Report escape of sewer gas into the buildings affords a convenient means of removing any obstructions from the sewer and allows a free escape of surface water which aids in washing out the sewer The soil pipe with branches for six water closets are up and in use The improvement consists in an open pipe from sewer to roof of building traps under the cones in connection with the surface traps above mentioned makes the soil pipe a ventil ating shaft for the sewer Soil pipes in the two old buildings and the two old wings waterclosets have been extended from the floor of upper wards to the roof of building Want of suitable cones to these soil pipes make them imperfect ventilators and were it not for an almost constant flow of water into these cones the air of the closets would be very impure All the cones save one are now connected with cold water pipes and keyvalves that regu late the amount of water to be used Eleven cast iron bath tubs were put up with an improved hot and cold water supply waste and overflow which locks up the supply pipes preventing waste of water The waste valve acts as a trap preventing the entrance of sewer gas into the bath tubs and obstructions into the waste pipe An arrange ment that saves us much time and expense in pulling down pipes to remove obstructions A better system of plumbing is being substituted for the old as it become necessary to remove the old Water closet and fixtures put up at the machine shop with ninety feet of sixinch sewer pipe connecting with the laundry sewer a small trap outside the building makes a convenient means of removing any obstruction in the sewer and receives the waste water from the exhaust pipe after it passes through the heater Hot water tanks located in the airducts near the engine room have been completed crossconnected so as to use one or both All the bath rooms are connected with these tanks Cov ering with a nonconductor of heat is all that is required to make the arrangement successful and economical as any heaters in use and it has cost but a nominal sura as the entire appa 10 State Lunatic Asylum ratus was constructed here from old material During cold weather three heaters are used in connection with our heating apparatus giving us an amount of heat that was usually lost from the hot well Prior to the erection of these heaters we lost the benefit of the return or condensed steam for boiler feed INDIRECT RADIATION During the summer twentytwo vertical radiators in the old main male buildings have been cased in with wood with a view of confining the heat of each radiator to the particular space to be heated Last winter the stoves were removed and the radiators used without casing a comparatively good result was given a still better result will be obtained this winter Six new vertical radiators were added to the old female building to complete the amount of heating surface required All are now cased in and ready for duty The return pipe in this building is not satisfactory but will be made like that in the old male building next summer Seven vertical radiators that were built last summer have been put in the two new wing buildings and will be ready for duty this winter Eight hundred feet of main steam pipe have been covered with hair and wool back felt four hundred feet of main steam pipe is without felt covering but we hope to have it on by winter This will prove a valuable addition to the heating apparatus and its use this winter will show the necessity of its general adoption for branch pipes as well as main lines One 40horse power return tubular boiler was added last winter to supply steam to additional radiators Our four boilers are now crossconnected so that any one can be used separately or all jointly The blowoff to each boiler is connected to an underground sewer that takes the water that is blown from the boilers outside of the enclosure STAIRWAYS An improvement has been made in the recreation hall be tween the old and new female buildings by dividing these halls by lattice partitions and a stairway between them giving a Superintendents Report 11 straight broad stairway at a central point of the female wing This change has enabled us to abandon the old stairways at the West end of the old building and convert the space into three rooms for patients Eighteen wire window guards were put in Rebuilt barn and stables One experimental strong room made with cement lining has been in use for several months and gives satisfaction This work that is under improvements above mentioned and enumerated has been under the Engineer Capt Wilcox who has been faithful in the discharge of his duties Considerable painting has been done by attendants in the male wards also building and repairing fences about the prem ises The back yards are being laid off in walks drives and plots turfed with grass in two of which two small fountains have been erected without the loss of any water This work was done principally by attendants and patients We hope to complete the work next spring The relaying of the flooring of the old male building cannot be deferred much longer The Chapel also needs some repair ing As soon as practicable after the appropriation was made to enlarge the building for the colored insane the services of Maj Fuss a competent architect was engaged and we are very much pleased with the zeal he has manifested in planning and execu ting the work We hope to be able soon to accommodate all the colored insane of the State MORAL TREATMENT Under the head of Moral Treatment must be considered all those means that tend to lead the mind into a normal or healthy channel thereby directing the thoughts from the morbid self contemplations insane delusions etc A variety of occupations amusements and entertainments are a part of the varied means which are certain to aid in the restoration of the acute and cura ble Hence the necessity of amusement halls It is generally conceded by all who have the care of the insane that amuse ment halls are requisite and indispensable not only in breaking 12 State Lunatic Asylum the monotony of asylum life but it is an important factor in the restoration of the curable and in promoting the improve ment and happiness of the incurable The necessity of an amusement hall is obvious and I hope it is only a question of little time in our having a commodious and well arranged hall A tenpin alley would certainly be a valuable acquisition I am glad to say that arrangements are being made to put the billiard table in order and to get a pian oforte These curative agencies should judiciously surround the insane Music is magical in its softening and soothing influences amusements should be numerous elevated and diversified Lifeless and cheerless mo notony should not exist in an institution of this kind It would be well if every day or night would bring some entertainment or amusement to awake or arouse the slumbering senses and engage them in pleasant diversion shaking off dejection vanish ing hallucinations dispelling the routine and giving relief and pleasure We are very much in need of a well filled library I hope I may have the cooperation of your board in getting a variety of these restorative means It is an acknowledged fact that suita ble varieties of entertainments occupations and amusements will diminish the morbid feelings and tendencies and frequently act more satisfactorily than drugs in producing profound sleep and mental restoration We have endeavored to induce by encouragement as many as possible to engage in some useful employment as far as the means of the Asylum would allow There is no doubt about the propriety or expediency of occupying many with decided ben eficial results Mans powers mental and physical were given for use the development of those powers require that they should be exercised to retain their integrity and perform their proper functions Some were employed in the kitchen laun dry engine house and others in the flower garden yards and vegetable garden and many were happily employed in the fe male department in sewing etc These employments were suited to their taste and habits All of the powers and faculties that are not entirely lost should have some employment to strengthen and vitalize them giving Superintendents Report 13 also direction to the powers that are changed or perverted by this morbid condition We have made every effort we could under the circumstan ces in the way of diversions of different kinds Theatrical performances games tableaux dancing picnics etc in which a large number of patients participated acknowledgements to those who this direction HAVE AIDED US IN We feel under many obligations to Col Miller Grieve of Milledgeville and his Dramatic Club for the elegant entertain ment they gave us It was highly appreciated and enjoyed by patients officers and employees We also express our thanks to Col Hunter and a number of the young ladies of Milledgeville for the fine musical entertainments and tableaux they have given us from time to time during the year We take pleasure in expressing our thanks to the Misses Cox and other young ladies of LaGrange Ga for their delightful musical entertainment To Mr and Mrs Orme who have conducted almost regularly devotional Sunday evening singing in the Chapel in which all were invited to join I am satisfied that all who attended those singings have enjoyed them very much indeed Sunday even ings would be very sad and gloomy to many without them For the floral beauty of our front yard which has been a constant pleasure and relief to our unfortunate charge we are indebted to Mr P J Berckmans of Augusta Ga for his laive and frequent donations To Mr John A Orme for a large lot of books and maga zines indeed this is the only library we have I hope it will not bt long before we will be placed under similar obligations to others The amount appropriated by your board for newspapers pe riodicals etc was wise and judicious and I hope if in your judgment we are able it will be continued To the various editors who have been so generous as to send us their papers we return our thanks Rev George Goetchius served us faithfully and satisfactorily as chaplain up to the date of his resignation 14 State Lunatic Asylum I take great pleasure in thanking Eev Mr Stoney our chap lain for the interest he has manifested in the discharge of his duties he has had services regularly Sundays and Wednesday evenings visited the sick and buried the dead The patients who are in a condition to attend look forward to the services with a great deal of pleasure To say nothing of its religious character it is a valuable auxiliary in their treatment It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge the valuable assistance and cooperation of my officers in discharging the re sponsible duties of my office To you gentlemen I offer my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the uniform kindness and consideration which you have ex tended to me trusting in the future as in the past to the guid ance of a wise and merciful Providence I am very respectfully T O POWELL Superintendent Etc STEWARDS REPORT State Lunatic Asylum Near Milledgeville Ga October 1st 1879 T O Powell M D
