Board of Managers' Report.

To His Excellency, James F. Fielder,

Governor of New Jersey.

Sir:-The Board of Managers of the Home for the Care and Train­

ing of Feeble-Minded Women at Vineland, N.

J.,

herewith sub­

mits its Twenty-fifth Annual Report, together with the reports of

the Treasurer and the Supedntendent.

The year just closed has been one of the busiest in our history

and much has been accomplished that adds to the efficierncy of our

institution, as well as to the health,

'

happiness and training of the

295 patients in our care.

It is impossible to emphasize too strongly our needs. With

our restricted facilities, we cannot accommodate the many who

are clamoring at our door for admittance. The most urgent cases

are being admitted as fast as we can find vacant places in our

buildings, but the large number of feeble-minded women still at

large ever remains a great menace to the State unless properly

cared for ·in our institution. We do not ask for money to be ex­

pended in the erection of elaborate builiclrings, but we do ask for

sufficient appropriations to build fire-proof dormitories of modest

pretensions that our helpless wards may be protected in case of fire.

Our Managers refuse to be a party to the erection of frame build­

ings, for, with the limited number of attendants employed, it would

he impossible to remove our inmates should there be a fire.

Nothing can better illustrate our needs than to refer to the

list of appropriations asked for hy us last year. The meagre

amount granted in both the supplemental and annual bills, com­

pared with our requests, is evidence of the handicap placed upon

us.

vVe have used, as specified, all the money appropriated :in the

supplemental bill, and are prepared to do the same with the annual

appropriations, which are discouragingly small.

6

REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGERS.

Happiness and contentment have everywhere prevailed, this

being due to the healthy condition of our wards and to the pro­

visions made for their comfort, education and entertainment.

During the winter an epidemic of diphtheria seemed imminent, but

owing to the watchfulness of our Superintendent, Dr. Hallowell,

and to her prompt and successful treatment of the cases, coupled

with incessant work, the disease was stamped out and no serious

consequences resulted.

Our attendants have been loyal to their trusts and their

faithfulness has been a factor in our successful administration.

T_he Board of Managers desires to express its grateful appre­

ciation of your Excellency's visit to the institution and of the m­

terest you have manifested in our welfare.

Report.

To the Board of Managers of the N. J. State Institution for Feeble-Minded Women, at Vineland, N. J.

Mr. President and Members of the Board:

I respectfully submit my fifth report, which is the 25th annual report of the institution. The ending of the year shows an enrollment of 295 patients, which are legally classified as follows: Indigent, 249; semi-private, 38; private, 8. These are represented by counties as follows: Atlantic, 7; Bergen, 4; Burling­ ton, 15; Camden, 30; Cape May, 5; Cumberland, 17; Essex, 49; Gloucester, 4; Hudson, 45; Hunterdon, 5; Mercer, 31; Middlesex, 14; Monmouth, II; Morris, 12; Ocean, 3; Passaic, 13; Salem, 7; Son1erset, 2; Sussex, s; Union, 20; War­ ren, 5; State of Pa., z.

Fifty-four patients have been admitted during the year. One patient was discharged on notification that the family was moving to Norway. There have been five deaths due to the following causes: z Pulmonary Tuberculosis; 1 Aortic regurgitation with failing compensation; 1 Chronic intestitial nephritis? 1 Mitra! Regurgitation with failing compensation. Autopsies were performed in each case, and the specimens preserved and used for pathological research.

The enrollment of additional patients during the year was by no means proportionate to the demand for accommodations. The fact that we are the only State institution for the care of the feeble-minded in New Jersey is re­ sponsible for the tremendous demand upon our waiting list. We have as a result overcrowded our institution to an alarming degree. vVe have converted our third story industrial rooms into dormitories, have erected cots in the cor­ ridors and areaways, and placed two rows of beds in our solariums. We have felt justified in making these sacrifices and straining the administrative regime of the institution,in this wise on account of the very serious problem which each of these cases presented to society at large We comforted ourselves with the fact that upon the completion of the hospital building, we could transfer many of these cases to that building, but the avalanche of clamoring applicants that confronted us upon the opening of that building, not only deterred us from making this transfer, but caused us also to proportionately overcrowd our 'hos­ pital building.

The result of this is obvious. It absolutely precluded the proper classifica­ tion of the different types and grades of patients, thereby preventing, in a large measure, the accomplishment of many ideals in administrative work. Therefore, to counteract the deleterious influences which would naturally result from this condition, we have labored to carry out a comprehensive ungraded school and in­ dustda! schedule for our different patients, thereby keeping them as much as possible, during the daytime at least, among members of their own grade.

It is a fact that out of the vast number of feeble-minded women in the State of New Jersey, that only 295 are being cared for in this institution. It will be extremely necessary to provide for a vastly larger number of mentally defective women in this institution if our work is to give any appreciable service to the State. True it is that every feeble-minded woman protected and cared for is a noble effort, but the real work requires proportionately the same outlay as that

IO

devoted to the care of the insane of the State, while this cause for many years has been getting but a small fraction of the same consideration.

MEDICAL.

The very excellent health of our patients during the past year is a result largely of our extensive study during the previous year of the physical and mental condition of each of our patients, which was followed up by systematic operative and medical treatment covering the indications.

An outbreak of one case of diphtheria was discovered in the ward among our lowest grade patients. The tuberculosis shack was immediately called into use and the case quarantined. The other patients in the institution received each an immunizing dose of antitoxin, and daily smears were taken from the throats of those residing in the institution. Every method of prophylaxis was strictly adhered to. The State Board of Health made the required examina­

tions of the smears with negative results for Klebs-Loeffier bacillus. There had been many cases of diphtheria in the town and the conclusion was that the organism had been directly transmitted by a nurse.

At the outbreak of the threatened diphtheria epidemic, we immediately transferred all of our lowest grade patients to the partially finished hospital building for precautionary measures. This, however, resulted in the formal opening of the hospital, inasmuch as they were retained there during the com­ pletion of the building. The tuberculosis shack was taken over for the use of twelve of our tubercular patients when our fears for the spread of infection were allayed.

The third floor of our hospital being most perfectly equipped for modern surgical procedure has caused us wonderful satisfaction in the treatment of our cases, and offered a long-felt need for the practical training of our nurses. The surgeon's 3crub room has necessarily been taken over for use as a dispensary and dental room until the necessary additions in the basement are installed for a well-ordered department on that floor.

The following is a brief summary of some of the work accomplished through this extension to the medical department: 240 beds for medical cases were used during the year, 7,300 dispensary cases were treated, 410 urinalysis made, 178 sputum examinations, 55 blood tests, 38 Wasserman tests, 14 major operations, including appendectomies, oophorectomies, salpingotomies, 43 ton­ silectomies, 22 adenoidectomies.

DENTAL REPORT.

The dental work included: Teeth cleaning, 181; extractions, 54; abscesses,

11 ; fillings, 420 ; re-fillings, 67 ; plates, 3.

The investigation of the family histories of our patients through field work, which has given such material aid in the studying of our cases for the past few years, was discontinued for six months owing to a cut in our appropriation for research. This, however, was resumed immediately upon the re-establishment of our appropriation.

SCHOOL.

The school work of the past year has been particularly gratifying. The

ungraded schedule system has proved most helpful and beneficial to the patients and contributed largely to the harmonious working of the various departments in their relation to the school system.

Our institution for some time past has given very little attention to the Eng­ lish branches, even as far as the three "R's," directing its entire energies toward

HOME FOR FEEBLE-MINDED WOMEN.

the industrial and domestic work. The admission during the last few years of a large number of high-grade girls who previously had had few educational advantages, has prompted us this year to organize an English department for the advancement of those girls presumably able to assimilate such a course, and for the purpose of obtaining data on their learning capacity.

Our physical training classes have always been a very important feature in the institution, the most perfect work being equal to that of high-school grades. We, therefore, took these classes as a basis for the initial grading for the Eng­ lish work. The results were most interesting and we found the following en­ lightening facts regarding the present status of our patients in the four most advanced gymnastic classes.

First Gymnasium Class-Fourth reader and beyond, s ; third reader, 5 ; first and second reader, 3; primer, 3 ; ABC's or nothing at all, 2 ; exceptions, 5; beyond division, 3; multiplication, 6; addition, 3 ; can count or not at all, 3 ; total patients, 38.

patients, 23 I.

We have seven gymnastic classes for the patients, graded as Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshmen, Kindergarten, Orthopedic, Adult, and Nurses classes. We have found the curve representing their gymnastic ability in rela­ tion to their mental age, showing a wide variation in many instances. The same discrepance was found in the relation of the gymnastic ability to grading in the English branches, this, however, not in all instances being analogous to their learning ability, but rather the result of early meagre advantages.

The gymnastic department is responsible for the physical training of every patient in the institution, either for simple educational gymnastics, or medical and corrective gymnastics. The work accomplished comprises a wide scope of drills and free work from the German and Swedish methods.

Tactics are always of special importance and are prescribed for every pa­ tient in the institution mentally able to respond. The disciplinary benefits de­ rived from tactics surpasses all punitive or correctional methods, and produces a wholesome atmosphere throughout the school. The drills, marches and dances are used for health-giving and recreational purposes, and are set to music in the various operettas and plays which are given at the different seasons of the year. Simple games, drills and folk dances are a delight to the kindergarten class and to those young in mental years.

The music department is comprised of a band of fourteen pieces, orchestra of sixteen pieces, and various choral societies, the first choral society consisting of 44 well-trained and harmoniously placed voices.

The co-operative spirit existing between the various teachers evidenced itself in the Annual Day Operetta, the Christmas Play, Easter Cantata, and vari­ ous other occasions of special importance, developing a singular versatility among the patients, contributing largely to their happiness and advancement.

12

REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGERS.

The feature of our school department proving the most gratifying, however, perhaps, because of its success in reaching our most hopeless cases, has been the application of the Montessori system to the Seguin methods of training. This has been applicable to 64 cases who heretofore had been largely the negative element of our school problem.

While we have found that the regular kindergarten and Seguin meth­ ods properly applied could reach this class of patients, as has the Mon­ tessori system combined with the others. Yet heretofore we have failed in gaining the amazing results that have obtained during the past year. The children in these classes have learned the lessons of personal care, developed observation, atten­ tion, concentration and co-ordination. The individuality has been developed and given expression through natural selection. And the intense pleasure manifest in the accomplishment of simple and practical acts has been coincident with a development from drivelling idiocy to a state of remarkable responsiveness to external impressions.

The department of domestic arts has been greatly extended, owing to the new admissions, and advancement in work of the children of lower grades. The results from the training of these patients can be found in the tabulations at the end of the report.

WORK ACCOMPLISHED.

Our accomplishments during the past year have largely been made possible by the appropriations of the year previous rather than the ensuing year. The completion of the hospital providing dormitories for the accommodation of roo patients, together with a perfectly equipped operating department and surgical floor, and thoroughly modern hydrotherapeutic department, and most ideal roof garden for convalescent and invalid patients, has proven to be a most wonderful aid in the administration of the institution. Planned as it is, into three distinct floors to be used eventually for purely hospital purposes, we are now grateful for the protection which the sanitary and fireproof construction affords to our idiots, epileptics and cripples on all but the surgical floor. The surgical and medical work is now in full effect and our many cases that have for years needed special attention are now enjoying the benefits from this treatment.

The hospital has been fitted with metal windows and door screens, and the tuberculosis shack with iron grills on the second floor for the restraint of the deficient delinquent type of tubercular patient.

One of the most interesting accomplishments has been the advancement and interest which the patients have shown in their agricultural duties. The trucking in its entirety being accomplished by the work of the patients. Never before has the keen spirit which prevailed during the year been manifest. This is largely due to the fact that an additional demand for the product was created through the equipping of a canning department. Our old boiler house was con­ verted into a canning factory and the spirit of competition arising between the farm girls and the girls in the canning d�partment stimulated a wholesome rivalry which resulted in an unprecedented harvest in the history of our insti­ tution.

The acquisition of the Miller and Swift properties has provided an excellent site for the sewerage disposal plant, through which we will be able to cancel our contract with the E"orough and use our own excellent water supply for all purposes.

The occupation of the tuberculosis shack provided another feature contrib­ uting to the health of the patients and the proper regime of the institution.

The site selected for the new boiler house is a wise move. It will undoubt­ edly be practically central in the line of future development. The one new boiler with the temporary boiler house and connections to the main buildings,

AND

and the addition of a coal shed proved to be sufficient extension for this past season. The equipment must, however, be developed and made permanent in the near future.

The old boiler house being equipped for a canning factory provides a long­ felt need for this economic and useful department.

In my previous reports, I have emphasized the need for suitable provision for the deficient delinquent class. Through the wise policy of the Legislature in 19 11, a building for this class is now in the course of construction. This will provide for 100 cases of this type to be classified by the distinct separation of the three floors of this building. The majority of our applicants being of this type, with the large number already residing in the institution, render the neces­ sity for this building most urgent.

Landis Avenue having been repaired through the generosity of the Legisla­ ture has provided an ·excellent thoroughfare fronting the institution, and leading into the Borough.

Shrubs and evergreens have been planted encircling the hospital building, and separating the lawns from the farm grounds, adding greatly to the beauty of the institution.

Modern machines have been installed in the sewing room to place that de­ partment on a more self-supporting basis, and provide suitable industry for the new patients.

Cisterns were built on the east side of the hospital to accommodate the rain water from the roofs, which were in turn connected with the cisterns supplying the boilers.

The regular annual exhibition of our work was held at the N. J. State Con­ ference of Charities and Corrections at Plainfield in February.

The class of Economics of the University of Princeton made us their annual week-end visit for the purpose of studying our problem.

From March 12th to the 23rd, an exhibition of the work of the institution was held at the National Congress of Mental Hygiene.

The various medical societies of the State of New Jersey, together with other organizations, held regular meetings here, where clinics and demonstra­ tions of departmental work were presented.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

To the casual observer it would appear that our institution has made re­ markable strides in the past few years, that we 'have doubled our capacity, pro­ vided for future growth, and that our institution has largely increased its equipment and accommodations, but the fact is that the State is only now awak­ ening from its lethargy, and is only becoming faintly responsive to its respon­ sibility.

Our needs are so vast that I can only make my recommendations with a great sense of fairness to the financial resources of the State.

Twelve is but a fractional part of our tubercular population that are being taken care of. We stand in urgent need of the addition to our shack for the care of our tubercular patients and the protection of the remaining population.

Our boiler house, as I before stated, is but of temporary construction. We must prepare for a permanent plant with additional boilers for the growing insti­ tution, with an electric plant to make us independent of foreign current.

I have for sf) long emphasized the necessity for a dairy barn with additional equipment, thal, we have now reached the point where this is the most indis­ pensable of our needs. We have facilities here for only 17 cows. By next year we will have accommodations for over 400 patients. Our dai_ry barn has been condemned by· the State Board of Health, and absolutely is unfit for further

14

REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGERS.

extensions. I believe that a v1s1t from the legislators this year will result in our securing this appropriation.

We have been unable to acquire the necessary stock, machinery and farm implements for the proper administration of the institution, owing to the lack of storeroom facilities. I believe we have proven during the past year that farm work is most healthful and profitable as an industry for our girls. I have ever encouraged and emphasized that hand in hand with this industry, we could organize a poultry department for our own use and commercial purposes. Our girls are clamoring for this added work, and I strongly recommend its organiza­ tion, though it should be taken from our maintenance fund.

The general repairs throughout the institution were cut from the appropria­ tion last year when they were at that time urgently need::d. The buildings stand in dire need of painting, additional carpentering, plumbing and tinsmith repairs.

A dispensary and drug room is greatly needed in the basement of the hos­ pital to preserve the surgical floor from wear, tear and contamination.

With our increased number of patients, and the ones for which our new buildings will eventually provide, our dining hall will be all too inadequate. Our patients now sleeping on the third floor are in grave danger should an out­ break of fire occur. They should be transferred to this present dining room, which should be equipped as a model dormitory and which should be supplanted by a modern and sanitary dining hall and dietetic department in a building en­ tirely separate from the other buildings, and equipped with ample storeroom and cold storage facilities.

True it is that our institution recogn'zes primarily its responsibility for care and happiness of our patients. The spirit among the various employees of the institution for many years has demonstrated this to be a well known fact, but through all these years of hard labor and faithful service, they have had little except bare necessities. They have had to receive their friends in the patients' school rooms or at outside meeting places, and for a few thousand dollars' expendi­ ture, we could provide them with a recreation bungalow and club room, the outlay of which would be returned to us many fold.

The two floors of our hospital building were brought into service for the care of our idiots, cripples and epileptics, in order that they should have pro­ tection from the risks of fire and infection in our order and unsafe buildings. This building should be relieved of this class of patients, and provision should be made for them in a fireproof and sanitary building of plainer construction. This, with another building for roo patients of higher grade, would relieve the

congested waiting list. .

These recommendations, t.'.lgether with many others that I could enumerate, such as research, additional farm land, changes in policy, etc., are all more or less only prophylactic. The great problem of State care for our defectives which we as a State institution are called upon to meet, demands the concerted action of every social, charitable and professional organization. A State-wide ·

campaign and financial policy demand thorough organization to be of any prac­ tical value in this overwhelming condition.

It is with a sincere sense of appreciation of the faithful and conscientious work of my assistants that I commend to your consideration the results of their loyal and enthusiastic efforts.

To the members of the Board of Managers I desire ·to express my deep sense of appreciation for your encouragement, support and confidence.

Respectfully submitted,
