Seventy-Ninth Annual Report
OP THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM.
MILLEDGEVILLE. GEORGIA,

To His

EXCELLENCY, THOMAS

W.

January 1, 1923.

HARDWICK, GOVERNOR:

Sir:—The seventy-ninth annual report of the Board of
Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium, covering the year
1922, is now respectfully submitted.
Annual Report of the Superintendent.
The annual report of the Superintendent hereto attached will supply essential details of the year's work. In this
connection it is the sad duty of the Board to report the
death of Dr. Lodrick M. Jones, the honored Superintendent
of the Sanitarium, which occurred on December 7, 1922,
following a brief illness. He served it for twenty-five years
as Assistant Physician and fifteen as Superintendent. His
death deprives it of an able executive and the State of a
faithful public servant. Appropriate services in his honor
were held by the Board and the memorial then adopted
appears as part of this report. Pending the election of his
successor Second Assistant Physician N. P. Walker was
placed in charge of the Sanitarium.
Advancing Efficiency
The record of the year shows the continued advance
of the Sanitarium in the great purpose for which it was
founded, the care and treatment of the insane. The number
of patients discharged as restored or improved is gratifyingly large. The death rate is the lowest had in twenty
years. The number of patients secluded or restrained has
reached a new low minimum. The atmosphere and general
trend of the Sanitarium point to further progress. These
brief facts are full of meaning, indicating that the Superintendent and Staff are capable and wide awake and that
tbey are working in harmony for the happiness and well
being of their afflicted charges. It is the duty and pleasure
of the Board to warmly commend them and those under
them for the work of the year.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

The widened use of occupational therapy as a remedial
measure accounts for much of the good record. It seeks
through interesting work or play to divert and occupy the
morbid mind and serves to make the patient happier and
more contented, with a consequent improvement in health.
A striking illustration of its value comes from the negro male
department in which the number of patients thus employed
increased from 160 in 1919 to 534 in 1922, while in the same
time bed cases decireased from 90 to 14. This was followed
by a marked improvement in general health and by a sharp
decline in the death rate. This is but indicative of equally
interesting results had in the other departments. There
is needed for the extension of this form of treatment in the
white female department a small building with ample garden space surrounding it. Male patients can work and
play largely in the open, but other provision must be made
for females. The cost of such a building so situated is not
large and its possibilities for the good of the patient so great
that the Board respectfully urges that an appropriation for
this purpose be made available at once.
The Sanitarium Training School for Nurses is another
factor of increasing importance in improving the work of
the Sanitarium and its beneficient results are everywhere
visible.
Yet another factor is the careful supervision of the
food supply as to quality, preparation and service by the
competent officer whose duty this is.
Admissions for the. Year.
The new patients admitted during the year numbered
857 as compared with admissions of 989 the previous year.
The terms of the deficiency appropriation added to the
burden carried by the Superintendent serving to increase
an already heavy demand for admission. None the less
every effort was made to meet such demand, preference
being given to recent and acute cases offering some hope
of cure.
Admissions for the past ten years totaled 12438, the
yearly average being 1243.8. The indications now are that
admissions for the new year will show a heavy increase as
the after effect of the deficiency appropriation above
referred to.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

The number of patients resident in the Sanitarium at
the close of the year was 3972, an increase of 74 over the
previous year. The records show that the number of
resident patients on January 1, 1913 was 3284 and that the
increase in ten years is 688, the net annual increase
being 68.8.
,
The health record of the patients for the year was excellent; typhoid, tuberculosis and pellagra cases were relatively small and showed a substantial reduction from the
previous year.

A condensed comparative summary of receipts and
disbursements, and of the financial condition of the Sanitarium at the close of the year is here given:

* The decrease in this item is due to revaluation of live stock and

From this summary is seen that the cash liabilities of
the Sanitarium at the close of the year exceeded its resources
by $78,137.15. Included in such resources is $5,282.81 in
receivables which are of doubtful value and the elimination
of this item increases the excess of liabilities to $83,419.96.
Supplies show a shrinkage of $26,924.17. The total of these
items makes an apparent deficit for the year of $110,344.76The last report of the Board submitted an estimate of this
deficit as $260,660.00 for which an appropriation was asked,
but only $150,000.00 was granted. The full amount was
needed.
The cost to the State for each patient was $238.04, as
compared with a cost in 1921 of $240.72. The cost per day
was $0.6525. This low cost under prevailing conditions is
indicative of the careful administration had of the State's
funds.

Crowded Condition White Female Department
The Board regrets it must again call attention to the
dangerously congested condition of the white female department which continues unchanged since its last report, A new

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

building which will relieve this congestion has been under
way for three years but cannot be completed from lack of
sufficient funds to do so. The last report of the Board submitted a careful estimate of the sum needed for this purpose
as $108,915, of which but $40,000 was appropriated. When
this appropriation is exhausted the building will be about
65% completed. To finish the building will now require
an additional appropriation of $67,245 and to furnish it
simply ready for use will require the further sum of $14,000.
It will be used as a home for the nurses and headquarters
for the Sanitarium Training School for Nurses. The transfer to it of the nurses will vacate their rooms on the wards
for the use of patients and relieve the present congestion.
This need is so pressing that the Board again begs most
earnestly for the funds with which to complete and furnish
the new building ready for use. It is being erected by day
labor under the supervision of the Engineer and its cost
kept as low as possible. In recognition of the long service
of oue of its members the Board has named this building
"John T. Brantley Building.''
The Physical Plant.
The vast size of the Sanitarium plant makes the cost
of its upkeep no small item and this cost naturally increases
as the buildings grow in age. Carpenters, plasterers
painters and plumbers are kept busy all the year. In recent
years only minor repairs have been possible and the major
ones from lack of funds have necessarily been allowed to
go over. Some of these last can no longer safely be delayed and it is the duty of the Board to call the attention of
your Excellency to them.
The first of these is the rebuilding of the present ice
plant which is now worn out and outgrown. It will at once
be appreciated that an ample ice supply is vital to every
hospital and the Sanitarium is no. exception- With such
rebuilding should come increased cold storage room for
the preservation of foodstuffs. The cost of doing this work
is conservatively estimated by the Engineer at $29,905.
The next is the protection of the Sanitarium from the
present danger of a water famine. To do this a duplicate
pipe line from the pumping station on the Oconee River
three miles away is necessary. The present single pipe
line runs under land a mile of which is subject to overflow

10

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

from the river and if a break should occur at such a time
it could not be reached until the flood subsided. The water
stored on the grounds is sufficient for a two days' supply
while such floods are apt to continue for several days longer.
The very great importance of this need cannot be overstated,
for a water famine would be disastrous. Some economy
will be accomplished by a duplicate pipe line through the
lessened power required for pumping, due to the reduction
in friction. The cost of this work is estimated by the
Engineer at $44,036. The pumping station has a capacity
of 1,000,000 gallons in 24 hours, while the present consumption of water is approximately 700,000 gallons.
The matter of outside fire escapes is an old one- Their
absence from the Sanitarium equipment has subjected the
management more than once to severe criticism. Such
critics are not aware that in the construction of the buildings this need was sought to be met by inside, enclosed
stairways protected by fire doors and walls. No patient
has ever been lost by fire, but the possibility of such is
recognized. The ordinary type of outside fire escapes would
constitute as great a danger to the patients in case of fire
as the fire itself. The only type having a recognized value
for institutions of this kind is known as the Kirker-Bender
and to install a sufficient number of these for the additional
safety of the inmates will require an appropriation of not
less than $25,000.
The Sanitarium possesses no electric plant and relies
on a local corporation for current for light and power. The
cost of this service including lamps for the past year was
$15,000. The possibility of effecting a saving by providing
the Sanitarium with a plant of its own at least merits careful study. With it might be combined the new ice plant
so that the two could be under one management. If to
these a central heating plant can be added in time a much
greater economy will thereby be effected, i
Looking to the Future
The tremendous importance to the State of the Sanitarium in 1923. The amount so needed is $239,864.68 and is
future policy of the State most timely. The Sanitarium
should not be allowed to increase indefinitely in size. Another hospital located elsewhere in the State should be considered and the class of patients to be sent to each definitely determined.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

11

The need in the Sanitarium equipment of a modern
psychopathic hospital has many times been presented by
the Board. It would now suggest that its every need looking
to its increasing usefulness should be supplied not only as
an act of mercy to its sorely afflicted inmates but as a
measure of economy to the State. Every patient it can restore to health is an asset gained and a liability lost.
The funds at the disposal of the Board should be large
enough and its authority ■ great enough to undertake the
after care of patients discharged as restored. The physician's duty does not end with the discharge of his patient
from the hospital. The period of convalescence must be
carefully watched and the patient kept on the right road
to renewed strength. This is no less true of mental than
of physical diseases. To this end there should be some
authorized agency in each county to watch over newly discharged cases lest by overtaxing of their newly regained
mental strength they become invalids and a charge upon
the State for life. Such agencies could be made of much
value in securing accurate histories of the new cases for
whom admission is sought.
The establishment of mental clinics similar to that now
being conducted in Macon should be encouraged in all the
leading centers of the State. In this way persons liable in
time to be committed to the Sanitarium are properly diagnosed and proper care and treatment outlined for them before
they reach such a condition. The success of the Macon
clinic has been markedThe commitment of mental cases to the common jails
of the State pending admission to the Sanitarium is a gross
injustice and should be frowned upon. Such harsh treatment frequently works an irreparable injury to the patient
that no amount of Sanitarium treatment can undo.
The Board renews a recommendation several times
made that the name of the Sanitarium be changed to
"Georgia State Hospital for the Insane," as serving to clearly define its function and to separate it from other institutions of similar name.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Deficiency Appropriation for Support and
Maintenance in 1923.
It will be neccessary to supplement the regular appropriation had for the support and maintenance of the Sanitarium in 1923. The amount so needed is $239,864.68 and is
arrived at in this way:
Regular appropriation for 1923
$ 800,000.00
Less cash deficit from 1922
83,419.96
Available for 1923
716,580.04
Estimated cost in 1923 based on 1922__ 956,444.72
Deficit to be provided

$ 239,864.68

Regular Appropriations for 1924 and 1925.
It is difficult to forecast the future of the Sanitarium
as to population and cost. The demand on it for admission
continues unabated and promises to increase. The cost of
supplies and labor continue high and there is no prospect of
a reduction in either. The Board estimates the Sanitarium
will have to provide for 4118 patients in 1924 and for 4218
in 1925. For its support and maintenance in these years it
recommends appropriations in the sums of $1,150,000 and
$1,250,000 respectively.
Special Appropriations
For the reason set out in this report the Board recommends appropriations in the sums and for the purposes now
stated:
To complete and furnish the new building
now under construction
$81,245.00
To build and equip occupational therapy
building for white female patients
9,260.00
To rebuild ice plant and enlarge cold
storage
29,905.00
To install duplicate water pipe line from
pumping station to Sanitarium
44,036.00
To provide outside fire escapes of iron

25,000.00

In Conclusion.
Quarterly meetings of the Board were held at the
Sanitarium during the year and its committees visited it
monthly. The interests of the State received no less careful consideration than did the interests of humanity. The
Superintendent was given the full support of the Board in
meeting the problems of management. All it could do to
advance the efficiency of the Sanitarium was done and to
this end the time of its members was freely and gladly given
for there is that about this work which mightily grips and
holds the heart. The working force of the Sanitarium is
well embued with the spirit of service and the future bright
with promise.
The Board now makes grateful acknowledgment of the
unfailing support given it by your Excellency in the discharge of its duties. With an humble prayer that the blessings of Almighty God may ever rest upon this great charity,
this report is now submitted.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Memorial on the Death of Dr. L. M. Jones
ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

MEMORIAL.
Dr. Lodrick M. Jones was the son of Thomas and
Martha T'harpe Jones, and was born in Twiggs County,
Georgia, April 28th, 1850. His boyhood was spent in the trying times of the Civil War and he attained to young manhood
in the gaunt days which followed. In that stern school of
experience, with necessity as his teacher, he learned lessons
of self control, self denial and self reliance, he was never
afterwards to forget. (From the lips of his devoted parents
he gained the fundamental principles of true manhood and
was taught to put his trust in Almighty God. These were
powerful factors in the formation of his character. He was
given such educational advantages as his parents could
afford and in due time entered the office of Dr. William
0'Daniel of Twiggs County, a noted physician of that day,
to begin the study of medicine. He completed this study
in Atlanta Medical College from which he graduated in 1878.
He then located at Gordon, Georgia, where his ability gained him a lucrative practice. The nature of his work there
was such as to attract the attention of the authorities of the
State Lunatic Asylum, now known as the State Sanitarium,
and in October, 1882 he was elected to the office of Fourth
Assistant Physician. He began his new work at once, applying himself with earnest diligence to the mastery of his
duties. He proved an apt student of the "methods employed
by Dr. T. 0. Powell, Superintendent, a psychiatrist of great
skill and wide renown, and made them his own. His faithful and efficient work soon justified the wisdom of his election. An unassuming manner, kindly disposition and natural courtesy won him lasting friends, while his helpful, sympathetic interest in his patients greatly endeared him to
them. Fidelity and sincerity were coupled to ability and
sound judgment in his character, a combination which firmly

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

established him in the confidence of Superintendent Powell.
Twenty-five years were thus spent by him. He did not seek
preferment and was content in the performance of his full
duty. The members of the Board of Trustees rarely saw him
about the administration building, for when not at work on
the wards he was at home with his family. His time was not
wasted but used in such way as prepared him all unconsciously for greater responsibility. On the death of Dr.
Powell in August, 1907, he was elected Superintendent to
succeed him, and thenceforth gave himself wholly to his new
duties. His quick grasp of administrative problems gave
abundant evidence of the thoroughness of his preparation,
and under his direction the Sanitarium affairs continued to
move with their accustomed smoothness. He seldom absented
himself from the Sanitarium and then only for the shortest
possible time. He gave to it his best freely and without stint.
His administration was characterized by his marked business
ability, good judgment and wise foresight; by his firm.
prompt decisions in matters of management; by his just and
courteous treatment of officers and employees alike, to whom
be was always accessible; and by his unfailing effort to promote the welfare and happiness of the increasingly great
number of patients in his care. The World "War brought in
its train many vexatious problems which gravely affected
the Sanitarium and these he confronted and solved with
quiet courage. The crowded condition of the Sanitarium
and growing demand for admission created other problems
requiring wise solution. He did not shrink from his responsibility and it is to be noted that even when his burdens
were heaviest he carried them alone, nor asked help of any
other than his Heavenly Father to whom he ever turned
for strength and consolation. He was a singularly modest
man and the records of the Board show few, if any, requests
preferred by him affecting his own or his family's comfort.
He accepted the inadequate salary fixed by law without
complaint and that it was afterward increased was not due
to his initiative. His chief concern was for the great Institution over which he presided and his own interests he was

m^^mm
16

■i
SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

content to leave with the Board. His attitude toward the
Board wag always deferential and courteous. If on occasion he differed from it his reasons were frankly stated.
If following this the decision remained against him he loyally
carried out the judgment of the Board. For fifteen years,
in the full confidence of the Board, he administered the
affairs of the Sanitarium, and thus rendered a service of incalculable value to the State and humanity, for which he
merits highest praise.
As a man and citizen Dr. Jones ranked high. He was
upright, straightforward, honest and sincere. He scorned
evasions and met every issue face to face. He had strong
convictions and the courage of them. He possessed high
ideals which he sought to convert into realities. His cordial
support was given every movement looking to the bettering of the public welfare. His helping hand was not withheld from those in need and there are many to testify to
his generosity. He was quick to forgive and forget an injury done him and cherished no resentment. Deeply imprinted on his heart was the divine injunction to "do justly,
love mercy and walk humbly before thy God" and he
shaped his life by it. He was a member and officer of the
Baptist Church and a regular attendant in its Sabbath
School. His pastor had in him a true friend and counsellor
In his home life he was a tender, considerate husband,
a kind, indulgent father and a hospitable host. He found
his chief pleasure in his family and his life in their midst
was a benediction. His friendship, slowly given, was loyal,
warm and lasting. His last illness was appallingly brief. Conscious only of a slight indisposition and without premonition of what was to come, he went from his office to his bed;
then followed a few days of intense suffering, and then
his Coronation Day dawned. It was given him to die in
harness, with mental and physical faculties unimpaired,
and in the full prime of great usefulness. With unfaltering

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

17

trust he walked down into the valley of the shadow, facing
the great adventure unafraid, for with the Apostle Paul
he could say in faith,
"For I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that
He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him
against that day."
The Words of Tennyson fit the solemn hour of his passing:
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me;
And may there be no moaning of the bar.
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which $!rew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark.
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to meet my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar."

The funeral service was held in his private apartments
so that officers and employees might be privileged to attend.
Every member of the Board of Trustees and friends from
far and near were present to do him honor. The great
wealth of floral offerings bore mutely eloquent testimony to
the affection in which he was held. The sad service ended,
his body was tenderly laid to rest in the Milledgeville City
Cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn. In his
death a great heart is stilled, a noble life is ended, but there
is left to those who mourn his going a precious heritage—
the record of a great service greatly and unselfishly rendered. There are many to rise up and call him blessed. To us
who remain he has thrown the flaming torch—it is ours to
take it up and carry on. This great Institution, for which
he lived and died, is our sacred charge. We must see to it,
it does not suffer for his going.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

PHYSICAL DISEASES.
The health of the institution has been very good during
the year, but we had a mild influenza epidemic and 146 of
our population suffered with the disease with a very low
mortality. Only 6 eases of typhoid fever were reported
throughout the year, while ten cases were reported the
previous year. 22 cases of pellagra and 28 cases of tuberculosis were reported compared to 65 and 45 respectively
the previous year.
A routine Wassermann of the blood serum was made on
all admissions except those that were seriously ill when
admitted and lived but a few days.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
The curriculum of the Training School for Nurses was
kept up to its usual standard during the year.
The influence of the training school.is noted on all the
wards of the white female department and the infirmary
and sick wards of the white male department.
During the latter part of the year some study and investigations were made by the Clinical Director with the
idea of formulating a schedule of training for our attendants throughout the institution. Wie contemplate getting
this in working order during the coming year.
Detailed information relative to Training School for
Nurses will be found in Superintendent of Nurses' report.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.
We made some definite progress in therapeutic occupational training during the year. Arts and craft work among
the white females and colored females have been extended
and more definitely organized.
Two new buildings, one a tin and repair shop and arts
and crafts building were erected from reclaimed material
and lumber from and old cottage that was located near
colored female pavilion.
Work simply as work is not of so great value unless
real interest is aroused, for through interest an emotional
outlet may be attained. Furthermore, occupation may be
the means of sublimating repressed complexes.

HYDROTHERAPY.
This feature of treatment of certian distrubed type of
patients was kept up during the year, and the hydrotherapy
rooms in the white male and female departments had a
trained person in direct charge of each. The continuous
bath on colored male reception ward was very useful and
packs were given in the colored female department and
other departments of the institution where indicated and
no other type of hydrotherapy available.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

DENTAL WORK.
We have a dentist who resides within the Sanitarium
and is subject to call at all times. He makes a routine examination of the teeth of all patients admitted to the Sanitapium, and does dental work for all patients in the intsitution who need it! Our physicians are alert to the possibility of bad teeth or other foci of infection being an etiological factor in mental disorders, as well as being a factor
is causing other medical problems.
Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Departments.
The policy and standard of these departments were the
same as the previous year. The report of the pharmacist
and laboratory technician gives some detailed information
as to the work of these departments during the year.
PELLAGRA STUDY.
The U. S. Public Health Service continued during the
year the study of pellagra, under the direction of Dr.
Joseph W. Goldberger of Washington, D. C. with Dr. W. F.
Tanner in immediate charge. This study has been going
continuously since 1914. During the past year this study
was along the same general lines as were followed the
previous year, and the result, according to these investigators
was confirmatory of their previous conclusions that the
etiology of pellagra is a deficiency of proteins in the food.
OUR NEEDS.
Some of the buildings of the Sanitarium are badly in
need of repair and are deteriorating as a result. It will
cost about $20,000 to make these repairs.
Our ice plant is inadequate and the cold storage needs
modernizing. This would require about $30,000.
We need an occupation therapy building preferably
constructed of brick, size 100 x 40 feet, far the white femalesEstimated cost $9,260.
We do not know when we shall have a fire that will
destroy some' of our buildings and menace the lives of our
patients. We hope that we will not have such an ex-

perience, but we should be prepared and make provisions
for such. It is estimated that it will cost $25,000.00 to
build an adequate number of Kirker-Bender fire escapes to
give us sufficient avenues of escape in case of fire.
Our water main from the water works to the Sanitarium
crosses two streams and is subject to overflow by high water
from the river for a mile of its length. Should there happen
a leak or break during a period of high water, it would
be an impossibility to fix it until the water receded. We
have a supply of water in our cistern that would last us a
couple of days and high water frequently lasts several days
or more than a week. Our Engineer informs me that it
would not only be wise but economical to put in a duplicate
main. If the pipe line capacity is doubled, the velocity in
feet per second of the water flowing in the pipe would be
reduced by one half and the present friction loss by 70 per
cent. The estimated cost of this main is $42,382.00.
The overcrowding in the white female department
makes it necessary that something be done to remedy this.
The completion of the Nurses Home would relieve this condition for some time, as the rooms occupied by nurses and
attendants could be used for patients. It will take an additional appropriation of $67,000.00 far this item.
In the following statistical tables will be found additional classified information of interest of the patients admitted during the year.
Respectfully Submitted,
R. C.

Dentist's Report
FOR THE YEAR
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

1922.

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—I have the honor of submitting the report of
the Dental Department for the year ending December 31st.
1922.
In caring for the mouths of the inmates of this Institution the Dentist feels that the relief of acute suffering, of
a dental origin, is of first importance and should be relieved
as promptly as possible. To this end those having patients
ill their immediate charge are instructed to report, without delay, all such cases as come under their observation.
Certain hours in each day being set aside in which these
emergencies are met, that immediate relief may be given,
if posssible.
Work of a temporary nature is frequently given to those
whose residence within the Institution will probably terminate at an early date, that their teeth may not deteriorate
during the period of their temporary confinement.
There are many patients, however, the length of whose
stay must, of necessity, be uncertain, whose desire to conserve their teeth, whose habits of cleanliness and whose willingness to co-operate with the dentist justifies the most careful consideration. Such patients are furnished thorough
dental treatment and work of a permanent nature.
The mouths of all patients are subjected to an examination soon after their admission, one morning in each week
being set aside for this purpose.
The Dentist resides within the Institution and his services are available at all times.
Below will be found an itemized statement of the work
done in this department during the year just ended.

Report of Dietitian
DR.

R. C

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—The following is a report of the Dietetical
Department of the Georgia State Sanitarium, for the year
1922.

Plans have been prepared for two diet kitchens in the
Colored Department, also for enlarging and completely
equipping the diet kitchen in the Twin Building so as to
make this the main diet kitchen of the institution.
For the purpose of improving our methods of baking,
we had a chemist from one of the largest flour mills in the
North spend several days in our bakery. He gave us many
valuable suggestions which are being carried out. A bread
room for storing bread until delivered to the wards is in
the course of construction, this will prevent the bread drying out and also prevent waste in this food.
A white uniform has been adopted by all the employees
in the department.
The amount of daily garbage has been one of our big
problems, the daily weighing of which would help us to
keep up with the amount wasted in each food. At different
times during the year we have weighed the foods before
being served and the amounts left after serving, these
amounts varied from 9% to 50%. We have no means now
of weighing the food daily from each building, a pair ot
scales in a sheltered portion of each garbage house would
be necessary. Constant and daily supervision of the garbage
will help us reduce it to the minimum. One pound of garbage per person per day should be the maximum, some of
the buildings are above and some below this amount.
With the co-operation of the Farm Steward we have
tried to have an equal distribution of vegetables to each
kitchen due to amounts of waste under different condiSons this has been difficult to do. If the vegetables could be
cleaned in one central place, then weighed and distributed,

the amounts would always be accurate.

66

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

iProm time to time the cooks are weighing fuel and ash
in their respective kitchens and have economized greatly in
this item.
As you will notice from our report, the amount of canning done this year was much higher than in the previous
year. We have asked for a cannery to take care of the excess vegetables raised, so that none will be wasted. Besides
saving these we could can about all the vegetables needed
during the winter.
Except the building and equipping this would have
practically no cost, as the work here could be done by our
colored female patients.
The following is the canning report for the year:—

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Report of Chaplain
DR.

R. C. SWINT, Superindendent,
Georgia State Sanitarium,

My Dear Sir:—During the period of my service as
Chaplain for the Georgia State Sanitarium, from Nov. 1,
1921 to Dec. 1, 1922, I conducted religious services in the
Chapel on Sunday afternoons, also buried the dead and performed other duties of the office of Chaplain.
The Chapel services were at all times well attended,
and the patients manifested a splendid interest in the services. I believe these Sunday afternoon services are not only
a diversion to all, but of spiritual benefit to a great many
of the patients.
The patients seem to enjoy especially the song service,
and I believe that the benefits from the entire Chapel service might be greatly augmented by the addition of an effective song leader, or a stronger organ or other musical instrument to lead the people in their singing. It is very
difficult for the minister who, as a rule, is not a singer, to
lead these people in this part of the service effectively, as
not many of the patients seem to have any knowledge of
music. They could, however, follow more effectively the
lead of a strong musical instrument and their singing would
be greatly improved.
I can not close this report without mention of the unfailing kindness and keen interest at all times of the former
Superintendent, Dr. L. M. Jones, whose patience never
seemed exhaused and whose interest in the services and in
the patients was always manifest. I desire also to express
my hearty appreciation for the many courtesies extended
by the various officers of the Institution during the period
of my services, and to commend the courteous attitude at
all times of the nurses and attendants who were present
at the services.
May God's rich blessing rest upon you and those associated with you in every department of this great work
for the relief of suffering humanity. "Inasmuch as ye did it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me.''
Respectfully submitted,
TIIOS. GORDON WATTS,

Chaplain 1922.

Report of Engineer
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent and Resident Physician:

Dear Sir:—Please find below the annual report of the
Engineer's Department for the year ending December 31st
1922.
IMPROVEMENTS
Work on the Nurses Home, suspended in September on
account of a lack of funds, was resumed in December in a
small way, it being necessary to make new contracts for lumber and to wait for its drying. The roof of this building
is on and the sash are in the windows, but not hung. The
interior remains to be completed. This includes the steam
heating, boilers, hot water apparatus, plumbing, electric
lighting, cutting up the interior into rooms by partitions,
plastering, stairways, all interior trim and painting.
A concrete slop stand has been built in the back yard
of the T. 0. Powell Building. This stand takes the place
of several wooden ones which were located about the premises. It is supplied with connections to the sewer and has
hot water pipe connections for the purpose of keeping it clean.
It also has a pipe frame around it which will be covered
with woven wire as a protection against dogs and buzzards.
The telephone line to the water works has been renovated ; that part of the line running through the city bein^
carried in the lead cable of the Milledgeville Telephone Co°
and -that on the other side on the poles of our power line!
The service is much improved.
A small porch has been built in the rear of the Echols
cottage.
Toilets have been built in the backyard of the Twin
Buildings for the convenience of the patients and employees
working in the kitchen.
A feed shed 100 feet long by forty feet wide at the
colony has been covered with galvanized roofing.
The Colony Buildings have been overhauled and the
cottage occupied by Mr. Swann has been painted inside
and outside.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

99

A small lean-to building has been built against the
wall near the horse stables with two water-closets and a
shower bath placed therein for the use of the white and
colored garden hands.
Two of the pumps at the water works have been
thoroughly overhauled and put in good working order. The
other pair were worked over last year. These pumps have
been worked for nearly fourteen years about half time with
out any extensive repairs having been made on them
previously.
Three washing machines in the laundry for whites
have had the outer galvanized iron shells removed and the replacement made with sheets of more permanent copper.
Other washing machinery has also been repaired.
Six rooms in the female and two in the male convalescent center buildings have been remodeled and plumbing installed, making three two-room apartments for officer's
quarters.
A porch has been built over the platform in front of
the cold-storage rooms, the roof being covered with a Barrett's 20 year specification pitch and gravel roof.
The woodwork of the circular covered way around
the water tower has been renewed and covered with tin.
The water closet in the recreation yard of the male
colored building has been remodeled and a new sewer run
from it in place of the original one which had become stopped up by roots having grown into it.
The cooking apparatus in all the kitchens has been
overhauled and put in good working order.
The pots for heating water for scalding hogs when
butchered have been moved from near the negro occupation building to a point on the branch near the "Hospital,"
and a concrete scalding vat and cleaning platform built
nearby.
Electric lights have been put in all the nurses rooms
in. the Twin Buildings., Those roqms were not wired when
the building was first occupied.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Two of the officer's cottages have had new hot water
pipes run to them.
The grade hands in this department have leveled off
the site for the new dairy building.
The fire department has been reorganized under Mr.
Miner and weekly drills are made.
The cottage occupied by the engineer at the waterworks, which was destroyed by fire early in the year, has
been rebuilt along the same lines as the original. This
work was done by the regular force of carpenters employed by the institution with the addition of a few extra hands.
On the west end of the Green building, where the walls
had spread through settlement, six through bolts have been
run to prevent further movement.
A sanitary system of sewers has been built at the
"Colony" for negroes with a septic tank and eight water
closets. This does away entirely with the unsanitary open
privies previously in use there.
A new stage has been built in the Amusement Hall in
the place of the old temporary one torn out.
An electrically driven coffee grinder has been installed
in the storehouse. It has the capacity of 180 pounds of
freshly roasted coffee, ground fine, per hour.
A new dairy barn has been begun just to the north of
the present buildings. This structure is 120' feet long by
35 feet wide. It is well under way and will be completed
in thirty days.
An electrically operated food grinder and mixer has
been installed in the kitchen of the T. 0. Powell Building.
Two toilet rooms have been built in the Negro Building. These rooms have cement floors, laid on cinder concrete, and each of them is furnished with a bath and water
closets.
One thousand square, feet of wood flooring have been
laid in the Twin Buildings.

and antequated seat flushing devices on the water closets
in the wards has been continued until now all of the water
closets in the institution, with the exception of a few in the
Powell Building, have the more modern overhead tank flushing equipment.
The walls and the woodwork of the Infirmary in the
Powell Building have been enameled white.
One room on the 20th white female ward has been
painted.
The floors on wards "A" and "D" in the Whittle
Building have been stained and waxed.

All of the woodwork of the 21st white female ward has
been painted and enameled.
The stairways and the walls of the stairwells in the
vestibules on each side of the Powell Building have been

Eightieth Annual Report
OP

THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1924.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor:
SIR : The annual report, required by law, of the Board
of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium, for the year 1923,
is now respectfully submitted.

Report of Management.
The accompanying annual report of the Superintendent
and Resident Physician, to which is attached those of department heads, give in essential detail the record of the heaviest
year in the history of the Sanitarium. The new patients
received reached a total of 1,157, an increase of 300 over 1922.
The daily average number of patients resident in the Sanitarium was 4,172, exceeding the previous year by 254. Including its officers and employees, the Sanitarium now has a population of 4,899.
The work of the medical department continues of unusual
excellence and shows the Sanitarium to be steadily advancing
in efficiency in the treatment of insanity. It should be a matter of pride to the State that this is so.
The good work of the business officers is shown in a cost
to the State for each patient of $234.95, in which every
expense connected with the Sanitarium is included. This is
slightly lower than the cost of 1922. The daily cost for each
patient was but 64.37 cents. *■
The Training School for Nurses is a most valuable
adjunct and its thorough methods of training reflect much
credit on the Superintendent of Nurses in whose charge it is.
The Sanitarium is well managed because well officered.
Superintendent Swint, although but a year in office, has discharged his responsible duties most acceptably to the Board.
He has the loyal support of the medical and business officers
and it is to their combined effort that the remarkably fine
record for the year may be attributed.

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
Financial Condition.
The deficiency appropriation granted at the last session
of the Legislature was unpaid at the close of the year, greatly
to the embarrassment of the Board. In consequence of this
the year closed with a deficit or overdraft of $222,966.03. The
Sanitarium was saved from a situation of exceeding gravity
only through the ability and willingness of the Treasurer of
the Sanitarium to advance the funds needed to meet its
expensesj and for this patriotic service lie is now tendered the
grateful thanks of the Board. This dangerous experience leads
the Board to enter a very respectful protest against the custom lately adopted of making appropriations for the support
of the Sanitarium which are known to be insufficient, thus
placing on the Board the burden of finding funds with which
to meet its needs until a deficiency appropriation can be had.
Such custom increases the cost because of the interest paid
on such funds. The Board deems the custom as unwise as it
is dangerous. The simple needs of this great family of the
afflicted are and ought to be a first charge on the resources of
the State, and should be willingly and generously supplied.
The receipts and disbursements for the year and the
financial condition of the Sanitarium at the close of the year
are shown in the following statement:

Dangerously Overcrowded Condition.
The Sanitarium has not room enough to meet the everincreasing demand on it, and the Superintendent now reports
that every bed in every ward is occupied. The condition in
the white female department is especially bad, for here a
normal capacity for 1,164 patients is now stretched to accommodate 1,573. Such a condition is as dangerous as it is unsafe.
Nor is it new, as the reports of the Board made each year will
show. It must be at once relieved if the Sanitarium is to continue to function in this department. A new building partly
completed is now had, but until an appropriation is made for
its completion it must stand idle. When it is completed it
will permit the removal of the nurses to it, and thus vacate
their rooms on the wards for the use of the white female
patients. This need is so imperative and further delay so dangerous that the Board very earnestly renews its request for
an appropriation sufficient to complete and furnish this building. It should be made available at once, so that work may
be resumed on it without delay.
Psychopathic Hospital.
The Board again calls attention to the great need in
the equipment of the Sanitarium for a suitably located and
equipped psychopathic hospital to be used solely for the care
and treatment of curable cases of insanity. Through it their
injurious association with the hopeless or chronic insane, now
unavoidable, would be done away with, and a better chance

for recovery given them. Such an addition to the equipment
would be not only a wonderful stimulus to the Medical Staff
but of great assistance to it. In addition, it would afford
needed relief to the present crowded wards in every department by the removal of such curable cases to it and might
well mark the limit in size to which the Sanitarium may be
wisely allowed to attain. A building for this purpose fully

Occupational Therapy Building.
Occupational therapy means simply the effort to divert
and hold the morbid mind by giving the hands interesting
employment. Such markedly beneficial results have followed
its introduction, especially among the chronic or hopeless
cases and the least attractive of these, that it is being extended
as rapidly as possible. For this purpose there is now needed
a small building for the use of the white female patients in
which they may be protected from the weather, and occupation
taught them. The cost is but $9,260.00. The Board asks that
an appropriation be made in this sum and for this purpose
to become available at once, believing that this progressive
work of the Medical Staff and nursing force is worthy of
every encouragement.

The ice plant of the Sanitarium has been in use for more
than twenty years and is now not only outgrown but worn
out to such an extent that it is no longer equal to the demand
on it. Inasmuch as an abundant supply of ice is so vital to
the comfort and well-being of the patients, the Board now
asks for an appropriation of $29,905.00, which is the estimated
cost tor the installation of a new plant and for a needed addif ion to the cold storage room now had.
Duplicate Water Supply Pipe Line.
It is necessary to call attention once more to the situation
of the Sanitarium in respect of its water supply Its single
pumping station is located on the banks of the Oconee River
about four miles away from the Sanitarium, which is reached
through a single pipe line running for one mile through land
subject to overflow when the river is in flood. A break in it
at such time and place could not be repaired and a water
famine would follow. Only a duplicate pipe line will protect
the Sanitarium and its inmates from such a happening, and

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

its cost is estimated by the Sanitarium Engineer at $44,036.00.
The very great importance of this protection fully warrants
the appropriation asked.
Outside Fire Escapes.
Criticism of the Sanitarium continues to be made from
time to time because of the absence from its equipment of
outside fire escapes, such critics being apparently unmindful
of the fact that escapes of the usual ladder type would be as
dangerous to the patients as fire. The Sanitarium has always
relied on inside enclosed stairway of wood well placed as the
means of escape in the event of fire. The only type of outside escape of any value would be the enclosed iron cylinder
with spiral slides known as the Kirkner-Bender escape. The
Board will be very glad to install these if an appropriation of
$25,000,00 may be had to defray the cost.
The Plant.
The usual repair and replacement work has been carried
on through the year. The increasing age of most of the buildings makes this work an item of considerable and growing
expense. The report of the Engineer will show how busy his
department has been.
Planning Now for the Future.
The Board believes the time is at hand when the State
should face the problem of founding a second hospital for the
insane. The Sanitarium now has a population of patients, employes and officers of approximately 5,000 and may not wisely
be permitted to attain a much larger size. A second hospital to
care for the steadily increasing number of insane is the only
solution. Whether it should be used to separate the curable
from the incurable cases, or to separate the races, or to be
a duplicate of the Sanitarium, receiving all classes and races,
is a matter which should receive mature consideration. The
problem is one which might well be committed to a special
commission created for this purpose and reporting to some
future Legislature. The Board will be glad to give its assistance in any way desired.
Deficiency Appropriation for 1924.
The regular appropriation of $800,000.00 for the support
of the Sanitarium in 1924 was known to be insufficient when
granted and it was far under the carefully prepared estimate

HWI mma

10

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

of the Board submitted at that time. The Board now estimates that the cost for 1924 will be $1,015,478.00 and to this
is to be added the deficit brought over from 1923 of $222,966.00. From it is to be deducted the deficiency appropriation for 1923 when paid of $239,864.00. This'will leave a
deficiency of $198,580.00 to be supplied and an appropriation
in this sum and for this purpose to be made available in the
year as needed is respectfully asked .
Regular Appropriations for 1925 and 1926.
The very careful estimate of the Steward, approved by
the Superintendent and checked by the Board, fixes the number of patients to be cared for in 192.1 and 1926 and the sums
needed for their support as follows:
For:

Salaries and wages

Changes in the Law.
The Board recommends the following changes in the laws
governing the Sanitarium:
1.

Amended so as to permit the transfer to the State Home
and School for the Feeble Minded of the children in
this class now inmates of the Sanitarium.

2.

Amended so as to forbid the reception of the criminal
insane whose care and safekeeping should devolve upon
the Prison Commission. The Sanitarium is a hospital
and not a prison. It has no means of safeguarding
these criminals. The enforced association of the innocent insane with these criminals is repulsive to every
sense of decency.
Amended so as to clearly define the classes entitled to
admission to the Sanitarium.

3.
4.

Amended so as to provide for the admission on the recommendation of one or more reputable physicians of border
line cases for the purpose of examination and advice.
For the Board.

The Board has endeavored to discharge its full duty
punctually and faithfully. It has held quarterly meetings at
the Sanitarium through the year and caused its committees
to visit it monthly. The funds at its disposal have been carefully administered. Supplies were bought on competitive bid
as far as practicable. The Superintendent has been given every
support. The record for the year is full of hope. The Board
is grateful to your Excellency for your continued confidence
and now thanks you for it. With the prayer that the favor
of God may ever rest upon this great family of the afflicted
this report is now submitted.

The work done by the Sanitarium for the reception, care,
treatment and discbarge of patients, is the principal business
of the institution, to which all other activities are secondary,
and was increased compared to the previous year by 300 admissions, 254 in daily average, and 270 increased population
at the end of the fiscal year. The percentage discharged,
recovered and improved, based on the number of patients
received during the year, was 33.15%. This does not include
those furloughed during the year, but those who have remained
out of the Sanitarium longer than 12 months, and have made
readjustments that enable them to remain out of the institution.

14

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

You will find an analysis of the furloughed patients in
the Clinical Director's report. Of the 720 patients furloughed
during the year 586 or 48'/, (based on the number of admissions) were furloughed as restored or improved.
Some of the patients admitted to the Sanitarium are
incurable on admission, and their problem is one principally
ol custodial care, but the majority of admissions have problems that aiv very complex as to etiology. The cause of their
illness is not found in some existing physical disease alone,
but to a complication of factors. We cannot go verv far, however, in the study of behavior disorders without becoming
aware that in order to understand them they must be studied
and considered in relation to feeling and thought. In other
words, we have to consider relations between soundness of
mind and soundness of body.
In order to properly approach these problems it is very
essential that we know something of the personal and family
history of the case under study, their habit of reacting to
various stimuli of their environment, as to whether "the reaction is graded to the stimulus and appropriate to tne occasion.
An individual witli mental disease is as truly sick as one
with some definite physical disease, and should be'so regarded
hut there is still a great deal of prejudice and superstition of
mediaeval times among the educated and intellectual as well
as the uneducated in their attitude and notion of mental
diseases. The general public has not become fully educated
to the necessity of making an intelligent contribution nor of
assuming the correct attitude toward their most unfortunate
fellow beings who have to he deprived of their liberty by the
very nature of their illness.
Many of the things known and of recognized value are
not being made use of for the conservation of mental health
and the betterment of the race. How ignorant we are of the
mechanism of heredity, and yet how dependent we are upon its
influences.
Does not the planter and the stock breeder pay attention
to the improving tendency of the laws of Heredity?
_ Are we as human beings going to keep our eves closed to
its influences as applied to the race?
No one can today be intelligently interested in questions
ot public welfare who is not prepared to consider the problem
Of eugenics m relation to individual success, happiness and
race improvement.

MEDICAL SERVICE.
Several changes have taken place in the medical staff
(luring the year.
Assistant Physicians R. W. Bradford, L. A. McCalla and
I). T. Raiikin resigned. The two former to enter private practice; the latter to accept a position of promotion in a state
hospital in Pennsylvania.
Drs. U. S. Bowen, C. G. Cox and Jno. R. Harrison were
employed as Internes to fill their vacancies.
Dr. E. B. Saye, who was formerly Pathologist to the
Sanitarium hut resigned during the world war to enter the
army, was reelected Pathologist, and returned to us on June
1st and since that time has had charge of the laboratory.
During the previous year he was Associate Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology at Emory University Medical School.
His training and experience should prove of great value to
the medical service of the institution. In co-operation with
the medical staff he has begun some research studies of the
blood chemistry of epileptics.
You will find a detailed report of the medical work
during the year in the report of the Clinical Director.
Extra Mural Mental Clinics and Social Service.
The maintenance appropriation for the Sanitarium has
been too inadequate to attempt the establishment of additional
mental clinics similar to the one that has been conducted at
Macon for several years. It seems that the usefulness of the
institution might spread more and more into extramural activities along this line so that borderline and prepsychotic
cases could be reached before they are committable. I believe
that the usefulness of the Sanitarium can also be extended
by establishing an out patient clinic at the institution. I occasionally get letters from some physician or others asking for
advice, or to recommend where they might go or send some
relative or friend for expert examination. Furthermore, the
service of the institution might be more efficient if our maintenance appropriation was adequate for the inauguration
of a Social Service Department. Much good could be accomplished in this work along the lines of obtaining historical
data of new admissions, and follow up or after care service
in the furloughed patients. Conduct disorder is the chief
cause of the committment of patients, and a properly organized social service could do a great deal toward helping

1C

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

the furloughed patients through their earlier stages of adjustment in their various communities.
Overcrowded.
Your honorable body is fully aware of our overcrowded
condition as your attention has been called to this from time
to time, and you have called attention to it in previous reports
to the Governor. The matter has now reached that stage
where something must be done. Every ward in the institution
is full, and we are forced to make room for beds in every
available space that can be utilized for such purpose.
In the white female department we have had to lattice
off a portion of some of the day rooms for beds. Such a condition of overcrowding is to be regretted, it is not safe, for
we are forced to sleep two in rooms that should be occupied
by only one. Allowing 1,000 cubic feet of air space for each
patient our estimated capacity in the white female department
is 1,164, while our actual resident population in this department is 1,573, making 409 above normal capacity, or 35%
overcrowding.
The time has come when the State will have to face the
problem of building another institution for the care and treat■ ment of mental diseases in some other section of the State. The
completion of the nurses' home would not solve this problem
but would give us additional rooms that we badlv need In
tins connection I will state that the success of any hospital
whether state or private, is greatly dependent upon its nursing torce, and we cannot expect the best and most efficient
services from our nurses and attendants unless thev are properly domiciled and taken care of. It is rather unreasonable
to insist that they constantly live in the environments of the
hospital wards. I hope the next legislature can be made to
see the wisdom of making an adequate appropriation to
finish and furnish the Jno. T. Brantley Building, our new
A arses Home, that is already about two-thirds completed
and has had to remain in this condition during the past year
on account of lack of funds for its completion.
One of the worst features of this overcrowding is that
it interferes with and is a great handicap in the treatment of
our patients especially the habit training that is so essential
in many of the unfortunates who are sent to the Sanitarium.
Finances.
The report of the Steward gives an analysis of our income
and expendrtures for the year. Economy has been the watch

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

17

word in every department, and we have practiced the strictest economy possible considering efficiency of service, the
welfare of the patients, and the preservation of the physical
plant. The cost to the State for each patient was $234.95 as
compared to $238.04 the previous year. The cost per day
was 0.6437 compared to 0.6525 the previous year. This cost
included every expense connected with the care and treatment as well as the upkeep of the physical plant. During the
year, however, we have been greatly handicapped in our efforts
by an inadequate appropriation to meet our actual needs. Your
honorable body is thoroughly familiar with this matter, and
I do not deem it necessary to elaborate on it. The State has
no greater obligation, nor will it ever undertake a more
humane endeavor than taking upon itself the responsibility
for the care and treatment of her unfortunate citizens who
are afflicted with mental diseases. Civilization will have advanced a step when social consciousness awakens to the importance of placing at the disposal of the Boards of Trustees
funds adequate to meet the needs of the problem of conservation, care and treatment, and rehabilitation in this field of
humanity's greatest wreckage.
Improvements and Repairs.
Some of the buildings of the institution have been occupied for more than 80 years, and the wear and tear given a
building and its furnishings inhabited by all kinds of patients
afflicted with all types of mental diseases, is necessarily great.
Many improvements have been made during the year that
add to the value of the physical plant and equipment. The
report of the Engineer, Capt. T. H. DeSaussure, gives a detailed account of the improvements and repairs during the
year, and it shows the mass of work along this line that is
required for the upkeep of the institution.
Farm, Garden and Dairy.
By reference to the Farm Steward's report you will note
the amount of food stuffs produced during the year.
Considering the excessive rains during the year I think
the amount produced makes a very favorable showing. It
seemed at one time as if our corn crop at the Colony would
be almost a failure on account of excessive rains, but the production was 7,511 bushels compared to 6,158 bushels the previous year; also 66,525 lbs. of pork compared to 33,347 lbs.
the previous year. Our farm, garden and dairy was operated
during the year at an estimated net profit of about $13,000.00.

Religious Services.
Religious services were held on Sunday afternoons each
week during the year by the pastor of the Baptist Church at
Milledgeville. He also conducted the funerals of all white
patients buried in the Sanitarium cemetary. The Catholic
Priest from the City of Milledgeville looked after the requirements of the members of the Catholic Church. Religious
services and burials in the colored department were conducted
by our local chaplain in that department.
Amusements of Patients.
The Sanitarium Band gave concerts for the patients three
times a week. Moving picture shows were provided for them
twice a week, and they attended their usual dances at the
amusement hall one afternoon each week. Other features of
amusement such as walks and games viz: tug of war, foot
races, sack races, running and jumping, climbing greased
poles, baseball, etc., were provided.
Reactions to amusement is very noticeable in an audience
composed of the colored insane. Various forms of diversion
is appreciated by the patients of both the white and colored
races, and it is beneficial to them. In this connection I will
state that the improvement in the physical appearance of the
wards and its furnishings such as an extra coat of paint etc
has a salutary effect upon them.
Needed Improvements Requiring Special Appropriations.
1. The completion and furnishing of the Jno. T Brantley Building. (Nurses' Home.)
2. Enlargement of ice plant, and reconstruction of cold
storage.
3. Build and equip an occupation building for white
female patients.
4. Install duplicate water pipe line from water works
to bamtarmm.
5. Outside fire escapes for the various buildings.
6. Build and equip a modern hospital building adequate
to accomodate all patients of both sexes and races who have
some definite physical disease problem requiring special medical or surgical treatment with a centralized operating room
ouch an addition would modernize our institution, and create
that atmosphere of progress and stimulatiou that nothing else
could.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

New Legislative Matters.
1. Sec. 3, Page 163-4, Acts 1918 should be revised.
2. Voluntary admission law should be enacted whereby
upon the recommendation of a reputable physician early and
borderline cases might be admitted for a few days for examination and advice.
3. Means for raising funds for aiding the maintenance
of the Sanitarium could be found in a county payment
law so formed that each county would become responsible to
the State Treasury for one-half the amount it cost to maintain and treat each patient committed from said county.
4. To change the name of the Georgia State Sanitarium
to Georgia State Hospital.
PELLAGRA STUDY.
The U. S. Public Health Service continued during the
year the study of the dietary treatment and prevention of
pellagra begun at the Sanitarium in 1914. This work is being
done under the direction of Dr. Joseph W. Goldberger of
Washington, D. C, and, as for some years past Dr. W. P.
Tanner continued in immediate charge of it.
During the year tests of buttermilk, batter and cod liver
oil were made with results, according to the investigators,
which confirm the previously favorable experience with milk,
and indications that butter and cod liver oil are lacking iv
specific value in this disease.
Acknowledgements.
The successful management and conduct of the affairs of
an institution of the type and size of the Sanitarium cannot
obtain without loyal and efficient heads of departments, and
loyal and co-operative employes. He who assumes the responsibility of Chief Executive or Administrative Officer must
pay a great toll.
I deem it # privilege to express to your honorable body
my deep appreciation for your confidence, kindness and
courtesy to me, and for your constant interest in the affairs of
the institution during the year. My profound gratitude is
here expressed to the Medical Staff, other officers, nurses,
attendants and all other employes for their loyalty, faithfulness and co-operative spirit.
We also express our sincere thanks to the Women's clubs,
and other organizations and individuals over the State who
were so thoughtful and kind to send to the patients so many
boxes and gifts at Christmas time.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT, Superintendent.

Report of Clinical Director
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—I have the honor of submitting the report of
the Medical Department of the Sanitarium for the year ending December 31st, 1923.
During the year 1,157 patients were admitted of whom
242 were readmissions; 743 patients left the institution and
350 died.

Tables 2 and 3 give diagnostic groupings of the first and
second admissions. Twenty-three patients were discharged
as not insane. They were grouped as follows: Drug addicts
not insane 12; Constitutional psychopathic inferiority without psychosis 3; Mental deficiency without psychosis 3; Alcoholism 1; Recovered before admission 1.
Three not insane.
Table 4 gives diagnostic grouping of those furloughed.
The subsequent tabulations are self explanatory.
The number furloughed as restored or improved was
48% of the admissions.
Health.
The percentage of deaths was 6.8 based on number treated.
A large portion of the deaths were due to degenerative
diseases such as arterio-sclerosis, paresis, nephritis, etc-.
Sixty-seven per cent, of the deaths from pneumonia occurred
in patients over sixty years of age. Five cases of typhoid
fever with no deaths were reported during the vear. The
entire population with the exception of a few sick'and feeble
were vaccinated against typhoid. There has been a very
noticeable decrease in the number of mosquitoes. Only one
case of malaria was reported. Pneumonia, general paralvsis
of the insane and tuberculosis were the leading causes of death.
Medical Work.
Staff Meetings. The policy of bringing before the Staff
only those new cases which presented some problem from the
point of cause, diagnosis or treatment has been adopted'. This
is a time saving procedure and the Staff can spend its efforts
to the best advantage as a result. At intervals also Staff
conferences have been held at which medical problems of
general interest were discussed. These have been of much
value.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

21

Sustained efforts have been made along two broad linesintensive treatment of acute curable cases and improvement
or amelioration of chronic incurable cases.
Occupation therapy, diversion, increased personal contact, rest, special diet and special nursing have been the chief
factors stressed in treatment of the acute cases. Treatment
is begun in most instances at the time the patient is received
on the ward. Provision has been made on the white female
reception ward so that new patients can be carried to occupation rooms on the same ward. This is of especial value since
it serves to check idle tendencies. A ward full of busy
patients is an incentive to a new arrival. A large number
of warm and cold packs are given on some of these wards. In
the white male department a small tract of land has provided
the means of out door employment for a large number of men.
This fulfills a long felt need. There has been a most noticeable decrease in the number of baths and packs given since
this feature was inagurated. Furthermore, there are almost
limitless opportunities to further develop out door employment and diversion in this department.
Among the chronic cases, more particularly dementia
praecox, habit training and occupation are chiefly relied upon.
In an institution so large as ours it is difficult to provide occupation or diversion for all.
The medical and surgical work has been well taken care
of by the Staff.
The pathologist collaborating, one of the ward physicians
treated five cases of dementia praecox by intra-spinous injections of normal horse serum after the manner outlined by
Carroll. No results were evident and the work was discontinued.
In a similar manner blood chemistry of epileptics has
been taken up. At this time no positive conclusions have been
reached.
Laboratory. The work here has been conscientiously and
efficiently done. The serological information afforded is one
of the greatest value. In addition to the routine duties some
research has been undertaken. The laboratory is fulfilling its
function better than ever before.

Training School for Nurses.
The work in this department has been carried on in the
same efficient way as fomerly. The graduates have been
uniformly successful and reflect great credit on the training
school and its head. It is a matter of pride to note that one
ox its graduates received the highest mark on the Slate Board
examination during the year.
»
Training School for Attendants.
This has been planned entirely along practical lines
Beginning m October a series of lectures dealing with every
day problems of nursing the insane were delivered to all the
attendants in the institution. This was supplemented by
distribution of pamphlets giving illustrative cases with
methods of management. The results have been better than
was expected. The fact, alone, that the number of filthy
patients were reduced by 34% in a few months amply justifies all efforts made m this direction. (The ultimate aim of
this work is to increase loyalty. Results will nal urally follow )
In order to gam first hand information a graduate nurse has
spent her entire time doing mental nursing, Her efforts have
been fruitful and we can reasonably hope for further ad-

About three hundred patients daily is the average number
treated in this way. This does not of course include tho e

The products of the occupation therapy group have been sold
and he proceeds reinvested in material, "in Addition a R^l
outfit that may be connected with any Ward having a telephone
has been purchased from the funds. A portable movSp
Jure machine bought by this department is used chiefly for
the colored population. This however mav be used on any
of the wards. A recent exhibition of pictures to a class 0f

very conclusively that their attention could be attracted and
held This is of distinct therapeutic value particularly to
the chronic, untidy, apathetic, indifferent cases of dementia
praecox and the more extensive use of the pictures is urged
if finances will permit.
Out-Patient Department. The Macon Clinic has entered
well into its fifth year. The number of patients attending
has been about the same as in former years. We feel that
this work is well established and is of much value. It seems
probable at the time of writing this that our Clinic will be
made the neucleus of one of the Commonwealth's demonstration Clinics. This would be a distinct compliment to the institution as one of our physicians will be ultimately put in
charge.
Grateful acknowledgment is made to the Board, to you,
to the Staff and to all those in the Medical service who have
co-operated to carry the year's work through.
Respectfully submitted,
N. P.

Clinical Director

Of the 346 specimens of cerebrospinal fluid, 267 were
from patients admitted during the year. A routine examination of the cerebrospinal fluid has been made in the case of
each patient whose blood gave a positive Wassermann reaction. In the following tabulation the results of these routine
examinations are shown with reference to race and sex, those
marked "pathological" being specimens which showed concomitant positive changes in the Wassermann, colloidal gold

Mr. Leaptratt, the senior technician, has found 4 cases
of Linguatula serrata infestation in 6 dogs killed near the
Sanitarium that were thought to be suffering from rabies. No
Negri bodies were found, however, in the brains of these
animals.
Blood Chemistry.
A group of otherwise healthy epileptic patients has been
studied with reference to the chemical composition of their
blood. Similar examinations have been made in a control
series of healthy non-epileptic patients and employes. No
marked difference has been noted in the findings for the two
groups.
Necropsies.
Only 20 necropsies were performed during the entire year.
In accordance with your instructions, summaries of the
necropsy findings are, for reason of brevity, omitted from
this report.

Dentist's Report
FOR THE YEAR
DR.

R. C.

1923.

Superintendent.
Milledgeville, Ga.

SWINT,

Dear Sir:—I have the honor of submitting the following
report of the Dental Department for the year ending Dee. 31st,
1923.
Believing that the Dentist's most urgent duty to his
patients is relief of acute suffering, those having the patients
of the Institution in their immediate charge are instructed
to report, at once, such cases as are in need of emergency
dental treatment. That these patients may have prompt attention certain hours of each afternoon are set aside for this work.
Temporary dental work is afforded those patients whose
term of residence within the Institution is likely to terminate
at a reasonably early date, in order that their teeth may not
deteriorate during the period which must elapse before they
can again return to their own dentists.
There are many patients, however, whose habits of cleanliness, whose desire to preserve their teeth and whose willingness to co-operate are such as to warrant the most careful
treatment, yet whose mental condition is such as to promise a
stay of indefinite length within the Sanitarium. Such patients
are given thorough attention and work of a permanent nature.
An examination of the mouth of each patient is made
promptly after admission, one morning of each week being set
aside for this purpose.
The Dentist resides within the Institution and is subject
to call at all times.
Below will be found an itemized statement of the work
done in this Department during the year 1923.

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—The following is a report of the Training
School for Nurses for the year beginning January 1st, 1923
and ending December 31st, 1923.
Every effort has been made to raise the school to the
highest standard. Today it is classed with the best schools in
the State of Georgia.
All students admitted within the last year have had at
least one year high school education and quite a number are
high school graduates. We hope within a short time to admit
only high school graduates.
The affiliation course of six months with Memphis General
Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, and the University Hospital,
Augusta, so far, has been very satisfactory.
At present students have their affiliation course in their
senior year but we hope in the near future to place it in the
junior year and give all their theoretical training in this school.
The annual commencement of the Training School was
held October 18th, at eight o'clock in the amusement hall, Dr.
R. C. Swint, Superintendent, presiding. The class address
was very ably delivered by Rev. Dr. Carr of the First Presbyterian Chuch of Savannah.
The diplomas were presented by Hon. John T. Brantley,
President of the Board of Trustees, who always gives the
graduates very wholesome advice in a very pleasing manner.
Mr. E. E. Lindsey, Chairman of the Executive Committee
Board of Trustees, presented the hospital pins.
Mrs. L. P. Longino with her usual sweet soprano voice,
sang, June Is in My Heart, by Graham Vaughn and Song of
Love from Blossom Time.
A reception and dance followed, music being furnished by
the Sanitarium Band.
The following are the names of the graduates receiving
diplomas:

On May 1st, the Nursing Staff was reorganized and four
Supervisors were placed in charge of the different services.
Am glad to report this has been very satisfactory as to the
services rendered the patients, the general up keep of the
wards and the issuing of supplies.
In October, a course in Care of the Mentally Afflicted,
was given all attendants by Dr. N. P. Walker, Clinical Director The object was to teach the attendants how they might
render better service to the patients. Very good results were
obtained from these lectures.
I wish to thank you for your kind consideration and help,
and the Medical Staff for lectures and medical services rendered the students and all other Officers who assisted in
teaching during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
MAE

DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—The following is a report of the pharmaceutical department of the Georgia State Sanitarium for the year
of 1923.
The work of the laboratory and prescription departments
show about the same amount as the previous year, with the
exception of a germicide which we now make for the extermination of bed bugs and other insects. This being brought
about at the suggestion of our Clinical Director.
It is gratifying to state that we not only run our purchases lower for this year, but have done so each year for the
past four years. This being partly due to the fact that we
were fortunate in securing some surgical supplies and chemicals that was put on the market by the War Department.
I appreciate your co-operation, also that of the Trustees,
the Clinical Director and Medical Staff in aiding me to carry
on the work of this department.

In addition to this we have cut about 500 cords of wood.
Cleared about 30 acres of new ground. All coal fromthe
Chutes has been distributed by this department. We have
spent considerable time working and improving the road system around the institution. Two of the most important improvements to the roads was the widening of the road in front
of the center building yard and the widening and raising of
the road in the back yard and adopting a one-way drive, this
eliminating a great deal of danger when going in and out ot
the back yard gates.
During the year I kept four mules and one horse for their
board. We had two old mules to die during the year.
There has been several improvements made down on the
farm and at the dairy. On the farm by changing fences and
cleaning up fence rows, hedgerows and swamps. At the dairy
bv building a new barn and installing a 4-inch water mam and
putting in fire plugs; also by putting in new equipment in one
end of the barn, including individual drinking cups. I consider the drinking cups very important to the health and productivity of the cows.
During the year we made all the calf feed fromfoodstuffs
produced on the farm. We also furnished all but about 50
C of hav for the dairy. We did not buy any cotton seed
Sit S. In audition to the above work, there has been
several things done that are too numerous to mention.
I wish to thank you, the Board of Trustees, the officers
of the institution and others for the gratitude and co-operation
shown me throughout the year.
Respectfully,
F. C. PENUEL,

DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

SUPERINTENDENT AND RESIDENT PHYSICIAN.

Dear Sir:—Please find below the animal report of the
Engineer's Department for the year ending December 31st,
1923:
'
IMPROVEMENTS

Some work on the John T. Brantley Building has been
done during the year, but all operations have been suspended
now on account of a lack of funds. During the period in which
work was carried on the partitions dividing the interior into
rooms have been put in and most of them lathed. The interior
wiring has been done also and the top story plastered.
The grounds immediately in front of the John T. Brantley
Building have been graded, the terrace sodded and the lawn
planted with Bermuda grass. A concrete walk has been laid
up to the building from the walk leading from the Powell
Building.
Cencrete slop stands for holding the slop barrels have
been constructed in the back yards of all the buildings. A hot
water supply has been run to each stand and all of them are
connected to the sewers.
A water closet in the recreation yard of the Whittle Building and one in the yard at the Cabaniss Building have each
been improved by having side walls built to them, forming
urinal stalls. These stalls have a water supply and are connected to the sewer.
A new wire fence has been built around two sides of the
patients' recreation yard on the west side of the Powell Building and a wire fence has been built dividing the 27th ward
yard from that used by the patients on the east side of the
Powell Building.
The pipe line at the water works leading from the relief
valve on the electric pump has been changed so as to discharge
into the clear water basin instead of into the suction well. A
fitting having a glass protected observation window in it has
been placed on this line just below the relief valve.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Two water closets have been installed in the basement of
the Powell Building and partitions built around them. These
closets are for the use of the cooks working nearby.
Three hundred feet of hot water pipe leading to the cottages on the east side of the institution have been replaced
with new pipe.
Three closets have been built between the arches in the
basement leading to the sewing room. These closets being for
the storage of dry goods.
Six water closets in the L. M. Jones Building have changed
from the old seat-flushing kind to the overhead-tank flushing
type.
The new flower garden in front of the Powell Building
has been piped for water.
A telephone has been installed in the office of the Supervisor in the Green Building and one in the Whittle Building.
A brick addition to the bakery has been built for the storage of the day's baking of bread.
A concrete constant head sulphate of aluminum tank has
beeen made and installed at the water works. This tank has
a glass float valve and a variable control orifice outlet made of
rubber.
The water level in the pipe line between the pump in the
water works building and the clear water basin has been raised
by the addition of a 12-inch 45-degree elbow at the discharge
end. The purpose of this raise being to keep the pipe fullof
water at all times, thus ensuring a better mixing of the chlorine
gas used in sterilization.
The water pressure at the "Hospital" Building has been
improved by running a new line from the mains in front of
the Twin Buildings. The old pipe line has been taken up,
cleaned out and laid in the new line to the dairy.
A 4-inch cast iron water pipe line has been run from the
rear of the Twin Buildings to and around the dairy buildings
and a line of fire hydrants placed on each side of the buildings
there New water pipes have been put throughout the dairy
buildings and fifty stalls have been equipped with individual
automatic drinking cups for the cows.
All of the buildings, including the silos, with the exception of the last barn built, which was whitewashed on the inside, have been painted inside and out.

74

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

An entrance has been made into the Supervisor's office at
the Negro Building from the outside, and a small covered
porch built over the doorway. This enables the employees
and the public to enter the office without first having to pass
through the Supervisor's private quarters.
The temporary stage in the amusement hall has been
taken out and a permanent one bu ilt in its place.
The barn at the dairy, begun last year, has been completed. This building is 120 feet long by 156 feet wide. Its
construction is similar to the other barns, and while the interior has not been made with cement floors and stalls for the
cows, the construction is such that it can be changed for milch
cows without disarranging the construction.
The old boilers in the L. M. Jones Building have been
removed and replaced with now and larger ones. The larger
boilers being for the purpose of supplying steam for the heating of the John T. Brantley Building, as well as the storehouse and the L. M. Jones Building. The old brick chimney
has also been replaced with a taller and larger one.
A larger duplex steam pump and receiver has been placed
in a new position in the pump pit of the L. M. Jones Building
boiler room, and a new system of hot water supply installed.
These two items being for the care of the L. M. Jones Building,
the storehouse, three surrounding cottages and the John T.
Brantley Building.
An additional power table has been added to the sewing
room equipment. This table has two power sewing machines
on it.
All of the washing machines in the white laundry have
been overhauled and put in good shape. Four of these machines required new copper shells.
A 42-inch by 84-inch new Monel Metal Cascade Washer
has been added to the equipment of the white laundry.
A hot bed with glass top 120 feet long and 6 feet wide
has been built for the florist.
An eight-horse power vertical tubular boiler has been
installed at the dairy.
The wooden center sills in all of the older dairy buildings
have been taken out and replaced with others built of concrete.
New gravel and sand have been placed in the filters at
the water works and all of the 1,500 filter strainers taken out
and cleaned.

The kitchen and dining room building at the "Hospital"
has been recovered with galvanized sheet iron.
The large box stalls on the south end of the dairy have
been taken out and replaced with stalls for the milch cows
similar to those in the balance of the building. The floor in
this part of the building has been relaid with concrete to conform with the balance of the work.
A marquee has been placed over the entrance to the John
T. Brantley Building.
The cottage occupied by Dr. Longino has been repaired,
banisters put to the front porch and painted inside and out.
A ventilator has been put over the toilet at the Apothecary.
A portion of the 14th ward has been cut off by a partition, making a much needed clothes room.
Clothes cabinets have been built in the bathroom of the
cottage occupied by Dr. Tanner, and the whole house has been
worked over and painted inside and out.

Eighty-first Annual Report
OF THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1ST, 1925.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor.
Sir:
Conforming with the State law, the Board of Trustees of
the Georgia State Sanitarium respectfully submits its annual
report for the year 1924, which is supplemented by the annual
report of the Superintendent and Resident Physician in which
is included reports from the heads of the different departments of that Institution. These reports supply information
in detail of the work which has been done during the year.
Some Physical Facts
From these reports it will be seen that the net increase
over the past year was 203 patients, as compared with 207
for the previous year, though the total admissions for the
year were only six less than the previous year. The year
closed with 4,447 patients on hand.
The report of the Steward shows that the daily per capita
cost for the past year was $0,622, as compared with $0,643
for the previous year. This reduced cost per capita comes in
face of an increase of a little more than $52,000.00 for food
during the past year.
The salaries and wages account shows that the cost of such
was $2,001.00 less than the previous year.
Farm Steward's Report
From the Farm Steward's report for the past year, it will
be seen that the value of the products taken from the garden
and farm of the Sanitarium for use in maintaining the Institution amounted to a little more than $100,000.00, based on the
value of such products in the open markets. It has been the
policy of the Farm Committee of the Board to try to make
that department productive of the greatest possible value to
the Institution. The output from the farm and garden included vegetables, fruits, milk, dairy products, gram, sweet
potatoes and other crops of that character.

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Engineering Department
In the Engineering Department, the repairs upon the
various buildings have been kept up, and an unusually large
amount of work done in extending pipe lines for heating purposes, water mains for fire protection; the installation of a
mattress renovating plant, and quite a large amount of grading and drive-way construction has been done. Work has
been pushed upon the new nurses home, the John T. Brantley
Building, which has been in course of construction for the
past several years, and which will take care of the white female
nurses when it is completed, thereby relieving in a measure,
some of the greatest congestion on the halls, is to be completed
during June or July of the current year. The work is being
done largely by the regular force of carpenters, masons and
painters of the Institution, in the interest of economy.
The Scope of the Property
These references will give an idea of the physical work
which has been done at the Sanitarium during the past year.
In order to appreciate the enormous amount of work to be
done in these departments, it may be said that the original
cost of the real estate of the Institution, including all of its
buildings, approximates $1,693,000.00. Most of these are old
buildings which require constant repairs, such as new floors,
new ceilings, new roofs and other repairs of that character.
The grounds of the Institution cover over 3,450 acres, and of
this amount 1,750 acres were under cultivation the past year.
There are under irrigation about 18 acres of land which is
very productive, furnishing an enormous amount of vegetables during the season.
There are employed at the Institution, including the
Medical Staff, Nurses, Attendants, and employes in other
departments, 355 males and 324 females, making a total of
679. Its total population is now 5,126, while 605 patients
were out on furlough at the close of the year.
Finances
The careful management of the Sanitarium is indicated
elsewhere. The report of the Steward sets out in detail the
receipt and expenditure of funds appropriated to it. The
report is corroborated by that of the State Auditor. The
appropriation of $800,000.00 for 1925 will be insufficient to
maintain the Sanitarium and a deficiency appropriation of

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

$250,000.00 to be made available on the exhaustion of the regular appropriation will be necessary.
The Medical Department
The Board of Trustees point with pride to the most excellent service which has been rendered in the Medical Department during the past year. We believe that the morale of the
Institution, the devotion of the employes to the unfortunates
in their charge, and the spirit of co-operation which exists m
all of the departments, was never better than it is at the present time. The Board of Trustees has been especially impressed
and pleased with the excellent results which have come from
the development of Occupational Therapy among both the
males and females in the Institution, and among the black,
as well as the white population. This work includes manual
effort in many different lines. It is not enforced service, but
it is the kind of work which various types of patients are
fitted for doing. In the male department it has been grading,
gardening and work of that type. The patients have taken to
it with enthusiasm and some wonderful results have been
accomplished.
In the female department, the work includes nearly all
kinds of fancy work. An exhibit of this work would compare
favorably with similar work from any institution in the country. A suitable building for the further development of this
form of treatment is urgently needed for the use of white
females. It is a pleasure to see the excellent development in
these lines, and especially since the diversion has had such a
wholesome effect upon the mentality of those engaged m it.
Our Crowded Condition
The Board of Trustees feels that the work for the past
year has been unusually good, considering the crowded condition of the Institution, and the handicap under which every
department is laboring. There has been a net gain of about
500 patients in the past two years, and the Institution was
overcrowded before these patients were received. The condition that exists upon some of the halls at the present time is
almost intolerable. We feel confident that it would not exist
if the people of Georgia and the members of the General
Assembly understood the situation as it really is. A great
Institution which is founded for charity and which has to
deal with a type of human beings who need regular hospital
treatment and constant care and attention, should not be

ggXW* —

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

forced to subject its inmates to a condition which tends to
aggravate, rather than relieve, the trouble from which they
are suffering. The State Sanitarium is not a place of mere
confinement, or a prison, but it is a place of treatment, and
the fact that a large percentage of those who are received
each year are returned to lives of usefulness and to their
families, shows that the work of the Institution is reaching
the high ideals for which it was established.
Need of Another Institution
The Board of Trustees, after having given much thought
and consideration to the present condition in the Institution, is firm in the belief that the time has arrived when
the State should now prepare for the establishment of another
hospital for treatment of the insane, probably located in some
other part of the State. The experience of other States has
been that the best results are not obtained where the congestion is so great and the Institution is so large. The Georgia
State Sanitarium is one of the largest in the United States.
While the number of insane population is not proportionately
as great in Georgia as in most of the other States, and the
cost of maintenance is not so large, we have our entire insane
population in a single Institution, located at one point. The
Board of Trustees will amplify this view in a special report
to your Excellency, with the hope that the attention of the
next Legislature may be called to it.
The Fire Hazard
The Board of Trustees desires to call attention again to the
need of a dependable system of fire escapes for the various
buildings in which patients are confined. While we have had
no trouble in the past, and while the Trustees and the officials
of the Institution have done all in their power towards improving the system of fire protection, by the extension of
water mains and putting in more hydrants, we daily realize
what a horrible situation would confront us and the people
of Georgia if a fire should get beyond the control of our fire
department—a condition that is as liable to happen at the
Sanitarium as elsewhere.
Need of Duplicate Water Main
We also wish to call attention again to the urgent need of
a duplicate water main from the pumping station to the

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
Sanitarium. At present, we have only one main which is
sometimes covered by freshet water from the Oconee River.
It runs under Pishing Creek and two or three smaller
branches, and is liable to be put out of commission almost any
time. Such a happening would bring about a deplorable situation at the Sanitarium, and one which the people of Georgia
should not tolerate longer.
Ice and Cold Storage
"We call attention again to the urgent need of a new ice
plant and improved cold storage facilities. Our present ice
plant is worn out and has been out-grown for several years.
The Institution is dependent upon it for ice for its 5,000 population and for cold storage in which to keep its dairy products,
vegetables, beef and other things that are dependent upon
cold storage for preservation.
Some Other Needs
We also call attention to the fact that the Sanitarium needs
a much larger Amusement Hall to meet the needs of the large
population of patients who are wonderfully helped in this
way. The present Amusement Hall has been in use for forty
years and is no longer adequate.
There is also an imperative need of additional buildings
for white female and colored female patients. It is estimated
that these buildings will cost $150,000.00 each. A schedule of
needed improvements for the next two years, and which require special appropriation, are as follows:
1. New ice plant and cold storage. Estimated cost
$ 30,000.00
2. Duplicate water main from pumping station to Sanitarium. Estimated cost
44,000.00
3. Occupational Therapy Building for white females.
Estimated cost
9,260,00
4. Outside fire escapes. Estimated cost
25,000.00
5. Modern Hospital Building, adequately equipped. Estimated cost
250,000.00
6. Amusement Hall adequate to meet the needs of our
large population to replace the small one that has
been in use for 40 years
7. Two additional buildings will have to be provided to
take care of the over-crowded white females and
colored females, if no steps are taken towards the
establishment of another Institution in some other
section of the State. Estimated cost, each
150,000.00

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Changes in the Law
The Board respectfully calls your attention to needed
changes in the State law, which will clearly define the type
of patients to be admitted to the Sanitarium; and to change
the law so as to make each county of the state bear one-half
of the cost of caring for the patients from the different counties ; and another change in the name of the Institution from
"Georgia State Sanitarium" to "Georgia State Hospital."
The Board of Trustees will present these matters to your
Excellency in more definite shape in the special report hereinbefore referred to, at which time the Board will undertake to
show the advantages which are to be derived from these
changes.
In Conclusion
The Board heartily commends Superintendent Swint for
the record which he and his assistants have made during the
past year.
We wish to thank your Excellency for the co-operation
which has come from the Executive Office, and which has been
very helpful to the Board in discharging its duties. "We also
recognize the fine spirit which has been shown by the State
Auditor in seeking to meet the needs of the Institution.
The Board has held its meetings regularly during the year,
with committee meetings each month, and, in that way has
sought to do its duty. The funds of the Institution have been
carefully administered. Supplies have been bought on competitive bids as far as possible, and the Board has been gratified to find a spirit of sympathy and helpfulness on the part
of business concerns that have had dealings with the Institution. "We look to the future with hope, confident that God
will continue to bless our efforts, and that the great-hearted
people of Georgia will not stint their greatest charity or
deprive it of the things that are needed to relieve suffering
among those who have ties binding them to almost every
home and fireside in the state.
Respectfully submitted,

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

We began the year with a greatly overcrowded institution,
and notwithstanding our effort to limit the admissions to
young applicants who offered some hope of being benefited by
treatment, and to those who furnished histories of being violent, and too dangerous to be kept at home, our population
increased 203 during the year compared to 270 the previous
year, and the total admissions were 1,151 or 6 less than the
previous year. Other requests for admissions that we were
obliged to decline emphasizes the need for increased accommodations.
The function of the Sanitarium is not simply that of custodial care • its principal object and aim is to serve as a hospital for those unfortunate citizens of the State who become
afflicted with mental disease, and we are endeavoring with
all the resources at our command to make it a hospital for
such in service as well as in name.
The cause, care and proper treatment of those afflicted
with mental disorders is one of the most vital and complex of
all medical problems. "We are rightly getting away from the
narrow and technical definition of the word "insanity," and
view the cases from the standpoint of adjustment. Some of
the cases admitted have comparatively mild symptoms which
are nevertheless manifestations of a diseased mind of functional nervous disorder. Individuals afflicted with these types
of illness, are just as much in need of special treatment as the
more fully developed and frank eases of mental disease. It
is therefore, regrettable that the state has not provided adequate accommodations for all who wish and need treatment.
The percentage of discharges from the records during the
years as recovered and improved, based on the number of
admissions, was 35.8% compared to 33.15% during the previous year.
Also, of the 792 patients furloughed during the year 51.6%
were restored and improved. A detailed analysis of this group
will be found in a tabulation of the Clinical Director's report.
Overcrowded
Overcrowding has been a problem of the institution for
many years, and attention has repeatedly been called to it in
previous annual reports. It has now become one of the most
pressing problems confronting us. Its ill effect reaches every
phase of the medical service, and this is most notably true on
reception wards where the most difficult and responsible medi-

UHWH

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

cal work and study of new admissions is concentrated. It seems
that we are paroling the restored, improved and harmless cases
as rapidly as wisdom justifies. The notion obtains, however,
among some of the uninformed, that there are many inmates
in the Sanitarium who should be discharged, but any one
familiar with the situation knows that it is not only the duty,
but one of the pleasantest duties of the Superintendent to see
that no person is illegally or unjustly confined in the Sanitarium, and to discharge those who become restored and are
able to make a social readjustment.
The problem of overcrowding and requests for admission
should be provided for: it cannot be solved by sidetracking.
I do not think it would be expedient to further expand this
institution. Experience has demonstrated, and it is the opinion
of those best informed on the science of hospital management
and control that the best condition and results cannot obtain
in institutions with so extremely large populations. T therefore, think it would be wise for your honorable body to aerain
call the Governor's attention to this problem of overcrowding,
and stress to him tlie importance of establishing another state
hospital in some other section of the State. Even after the
completion of the Nurses' Home—the John T. Brantlev Building—and the rooms on the wards now occupied by nurses
become filled with patients, we will still be overcrowded on
the White Female Department by several hundred patients.
MEDICAL SERVICE
A detailed report of the medical work during the year
will be found in the Clinical Director's report, A few changes
took place in the Staff during the year:—Dr. R. "W. Bradford,
who was formerly with us and resigned to enter general practice, was reelected, and returned to us July 5th as Junior
Assistant Physician. Drs. U. S. Bowen and C. G. Cox, after
a competitive examination as required by law, were promoted
in July from Internes to Junior Assistant Physicians. Dr.
Jno. R. Harrison, Interne, resigned July 1st, to enter general practice in South Carolina. Assistant Physician J. K.
Pettit resigned September 1st to accept a position at Letchworth Village, N. Y. Only one of the two vacancies caused
by the resignations has been filled. The Staff shortage has
caused the patient population in each service to range from
300 to 800 depending on the character of the service. Of
course, best results need not be expected when one physician
has so many patients to care for, as he cannot give the personal contact to each case that is so essential in psychiatric

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

practice. It is difficult to get the proper type of young
physicians who are interested in psychiatry to fill vacancies
on the Staff, as most of the young graduates seem to be interested in other branches of medicine that offer prospect of
greater remuneration. This is a problem that is not confined
to Georgia, but according to reports it obtains in practically
every State in the Union. When the medical schools begin to
pay more attention to the teaching of psychiatry the attitude
and interest of students may be changed.
Our maintenance appropriation has been too inadequate
for us to expand the relation of the institution to the various
communities of the State in the form of additional extra mural
mental clinics and social service department, but I believe
that the usefulness of the Sanitarium would be extended by
the establishment and development of these features of the
medical service, and that good results would obtain from them.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives schedules and exhibits
that show in detail the receipts and disbursements during the
year.
We endeavored to practice the strictest economy throughout the year, keeping in mind the welfare of the patients, the
amount appropriated, and the efficiency of the various departments.
Notwithstanding the fact that we were more liberal with
our menu and spent $52,057.87 more for food than during the
previous year, our daily per capita cost was 0.617 compared to
0.643 the previous year. This cost included every item of
expense connected with the care and treatment of a daily
average of 4,389 unfortunate charges placed here by the state,
as well as the repairs and upkeep of the physical plant.
" The largest item in the maintenance account is the matter
of salaries and wages, although this item was $2,001.64 less
than the previous year. If we are to maintain the efficiency
of the institution it is necessary that an adequate force of
officers and employes be kept and paid commensurate with
their duties, responsibilities, training, service, etc. It seems
that we have this matter very well before us, and cannot
expediently anticipate any reduction. The needs of the institution, and the welfare of our unfortunate charges could
better be provided for if we were given a more liberal per
capita allowance.

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Engineer's Department
The various divisions of this department have been kept
busy during the year in meeting the needs of the institution.
An institution as old and large as this, with the various buildings originally so economically constructed, necessarily requires considerable repairs for their proper upkeep, and there
is still a great deal of repair work ahead of us.
The report of Capt, T. H. DeSaussure, who has been the
head of this department for many years, gives a full account
of the improvements made on the plant during the year. One
of the most needed and useful of these improvements was the
construction of a mattress house, and equipping it with an
electrically driven picker and other appliances for mattress
making.
,
Since October the Engineer and some of his force have
been concentrating their efforts toward the completion of the
unfinished Nurses' Home.
Farm, Garden and Dairy
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of food
stuffs and dairy products produced in this department during
the year. The extreme cold weather in January killed out
growing vegetables and oats, but the seasons were favorable
to our corn crop. We produced 15.000 bushels compared
to 7,511 bushels the previous year. Also while 21,672 lbs. of
pork was killed, the amount carried over to be killed after
Christmas will total about the amount killed the previous year.
Religious Services
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon by
the regular chaplain, the Pastor of the Milledgeville Methodist Church serving in this capacity until Nov. 1st, and since
then the Pastor of the Milledgeville Episcopal Church. These
pastors have also conducted the funerals of all white patients
buried in the Sanitarium cemetery. The Catholic Priest from
the Milledgeville Catholic Church looked after the needs and
requirements of the members of his religious faith. Services
and burials in the colored departments were conducted by our
chaplain in that department.

Amusement of Patients
The Sanitarium Band as usual gave concerts for the
patients three times a week. Moving picture shows were provided for them twice a week. During the early period of the
year we perfected arrangements with sixteen film distributing
agencies in Atlanta through the Atlanta Film Board of Trade
to furnish us gratis films thereby saving the institution several
hundred dollars, and in this connection we wish to thank the
Associated First National Pictures, Consolidated Film & Supply Co., Educational Film Exchange, Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation, Film Booking Offices of America, Fox Film Corporation, Goldwin Distributing Corporation, Producers Distributing Corporation, Al Litchman Corporation, Metro
Pictures Corporation, Pathe Exchange, Progress Pictures,
Southern States Film Co., and Vitagraph for their interest
and contribution to the enjoyment of our unfortunate charges.
The Junior Order American Mechanics Imperial Council
No. 10 also gave a gratis entertainment for the patients on
March 21st that they greatly enjoyed.
. Other features of amusement, such as games, walks, picnics, etc., were provided.
Occupation therapy was extended some during the year.
Two large portico rooms in the white female department were
thoroughly renovated, and are now being used for this purpose. Brightening up the walls, ceilings and floors with a few
coats of paint has a salutary effect upon the patients. It has
been said that sight is probably the most important of the five
Jensen because it is responsible for more than sixty percent, of
all the impressions taken into the mind.

PELLAGRA RESEARCH
The U. S. Public Health Service continued during the year
their research studies of pellagra begun at the Sanitarium in
1914. This work is directed by Dr. Joseph W. Goldberger
of Washington, D. C, with Dr. W. F. Tanner of the Public
Health Service in immediate charge. Dr. Tanner, who had
charge of this work for several years, was transferred to
Washington in November, and Dr. G. A. Wheeler of the Public
Health Laboratory in Washington was sent down to take his
place, and has been in charge since the middle of November.

Changes in the Law
I respectfully call your attention to the following legislative matters that I think are very important for the welfare of
the service:
1. Section 3, Pages 163-4, Acts 1918, should be revised so
as to define more clearly its meaning, and the type of cases
that should be committed and admitted to the Sanitarium.
2. Means for raising funds for aiding the maintenance of
the Sanitarium can be found in a county payment law so
formulated that each county would become responsible to the
State Treasury for one-half the amount it cost to maintain
and treat each and every patient committed from said county.
When the patient has adequate property to pay for his or her
treatment, give the county the authority of collecting and
reimbursement for the amount paid out for treatment for
said patient. This probably would have an influence toward
preventing the committing of harmless incurable cases; also
senile cases whose principal problem is custodial care, and
because of their irritability, childishness and forgetfulness
they become a burden to their relatives.

3. The name of the Georgia State Sanitarium should be
changed to the "Georgia State Hospital." This would be
more in keeping with progressive psychiatric thought and
state control.
Acknowledgments
In concluding this report covering the work of the Sani
tarium for the year just closed, I desire to express my cordial
thanks and appreciation to your honorable body for your
confidence and constant interest in the affairs of the institution throughout the year—to the medical staff—all other officers and employes for their loyalty and faithful service rendered throughout the year; to the Women's Clubs, American
Legion and others who were so thoughtful and kind to send
to the patients at Christmas time so many gifts.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Clinical Director
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—
I have the honor of submitting the report of the Medical
Department of the Sanitarium for the year ending December
31st, 1924.
During the year there were 922 first admissions and 229
second admissions, making a total of 1,151.
The most noticeable difference as compared with the previous year is the increase in number of cases of paresis among
the colored males. For the first time general paralysis of the
insane was the leading form of psychosis among first admissions in any of the departments, 41 of the 168 colored first
admissions having been classified as paretics. In 1924, 24%
of the first admissions among the colored males suffered from
paresis, as compared with 15.1% for the previous year. It
is to be sincerely hoped that the rate of increase of neurosyphilis among the colored race will not continue as indicated
by the above figures. The usual laboratory findings in the
blood and spinal fluid helped to confirm the diagnoses.
Of the 23 patients diagnosed as not insane, ten showed
mental deficiency; three psychopathic personality; four were
epileptics; two were drug addicts; one was an alcoholic, and
in the case of two no evidence of abnormality was at hand.
It may have been that they showed evidences of mental disturbance before admission.
Thirty-three of the second admissions had been in private
sanitariums, most of them for very short periods. In most
instances they were brought direct from the private sanitariums.
Seven hundred and ninety-two patients were furloughed.
Of these 27 were classified as not insane. Of the remaining
765, 594 were furloughed as restored and improved. Omitting 23 patients admitted during the year who were classified
as not insane, the combined percentage of those furloughed
restored or improved was 52% of the number of admissions.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

21

We have had a number of cases of chicken pox and
measles, but no epidemic of a serious nature. There were 406
deaths, 7.5% of the total number treated. Tuberculosis, general paralysis of the insane and cerebral hemorrhage were the
leading causes of death in the order named. Sixty patients
died of tuberculosis, 52 of general paralysis of the insane and
36 of cerebral hemorrhage. In 1923 the number of patients
dying from these diseases in the order named was 49, 43 and
30. Paresis and cerebral arterio-sclerosis appear to be much
more rapidly fatal among the colored males than elsewhere.
At least they do not live long after admission. Taking into
consideration the number of cases of general paralysis of the
insane and arterio-sclerotics admitted and the large number
of old and feeble patients now in the institution, we can
scarcely hope for any great reduction in the death rate.
The medical work may be arbitrarily divided into three
spheres of activity. First, the treatment of those physical
ailments which are incidental and have no connection with
the mental state of the patient. Second, the treatment of those
conditions which bear a known relationship to the mental
illness of the patient. Third, the treatment of the mental
state itself either symptomatically or otherwise.
In the first sphere the work has been well done. We have
a staff competent to ably handle any condition that may
arise. The staff has had the invaluable assistance of the laboratory in this sphere as well as in the others. The staff also
received the valuable co-operation of the training school, and
its head, as well as of the graduates now in the employ of the
institution.
The most important work done in the second sphere has
been in the field of neuro-syphilis. The results have been anything but encouraging in this particular line. In addition to
the older methods of treatment, tryparsamide has been tried
in fourteen cases of paresis. None of the patients recovered.
There was an unstable improvement in the serology < I some
of the cases, particularly was there a reduction in ttJ number of cells in the spinal fluid. One of the patients became
blind after the second dose of three grams. The great majority of our paretics, more especially the negro men, are
usually in a very advanced stage when admitted. We are
indebted to Dr. Wade Brown of Rockefeller Institute for
furnishing tryparsamide in sufficient quantities to treat the
fourteen patients above mentioned.

f^ftttxiiaxum

22

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Upon application, Dr. E. C. Rosenow, of the Mayo Clinic,
furnished sufficient serum for the treatment of five cases of
encephalitis. Here, too, our patients had been ill for a long
time, and improvement was scarceely to be hoped for. None
of the patients showed any benefit from its use.
All of our acute cases of pellagra are now being treated
under the direction of Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler, of the
United States Public Health Service. Splendid results are
being obtained. Not only our institution, but the human
race at large are indebted to these physicians for their most
excellent work.
Particular attention has been given to the activities in
the third sphere. Here the means of treatment is neither
medicinal nor surgical, and is far from being fully developed.
The co-operation of the other departments of the institution has been of much help in this particular line. Special
nursing, occupation, habit training, amusement and diversion
are the most valuable assets in treatment. During the latter
part of the year special nurses were placed with a small
number of highly excited, destructive and filthy patients. The
results were good. There was an evident response in every
case except one. Individual nursing in the cases of such
patients is apparently costly, but the contrary is true, in
many cases, at least. The continuation of this policy in selected cases is recommended. As far as possible, occupation
and diversion were provided for all newly admitted patients
who were able to take part in such.
Among the chronic, incurable cases (chiefly dementia
praecox), habit training and occupation are the chief aids
relied upon. A small number of patients suffering from dementia praecox of long standing (seven to eighteen years) were
put in the care of special nurses for habit training. In not
a single instance was there a complete failure. On the contrary, some of these patients became tidy and non-destructive.
This is an economic, as well as humane procedure. It is an
effort to train these patients so that they will be less offensive
to other patients and at the same time a great deal less expensive to the hospital. This feature of the work should also be
continued. Some of the physicians have segregated their destructive patients and placed them under the care of selected
nurses. The same thing has been done to a limited extent with
the untidy patients. In both instances improvement in the
habits of the patients have resulted. The effects of habit
training have become evident in the diminished amount of

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

work necessary at the laundry and a well marked lessening of
clothing and bedding destroyed.
The crowded condition of the institution hampers us at
every turn. This is not only unhealthful, but is positively
dangerous The two white female reception wards have a
capacity of 28 each (one to a room). They have averaged
from 45 to 60 patients to the ward. Under such circumstances,
a new patient about whom we may know nothing must be
placed in a room with another. Attacks by one patient upon
another are bound to occur. Fortunately, no serious accident
has recently happened on this account. The hospital cannot
possibly fulfill its function so long as such conditions exist.
It cannot afford a place of restfulness and quiet so long as a
noisy, excited and possibly dangerous patient has to be confined in the same room with another or in a dormitory where
he may disturb a hundred. A patient from the above reception wards has to go where there may be a so-called vacancy
unless it is found possible to shift another patient. There are
at this time aged patients on the reception ward where the
most violent and impulsive patients are received. The danger
to these old and feeble persons is self-evident. There are
times when it is not easy to say which of two patients sleeping
in the same room is the filthy one. Indeed, there has been
an instance where three such patients slept in a single room.
The very large amount of work being done in the laboratory is indicated by the number of examinations made, 6,566.
Several thousand of these specimens were collected by the pathologist or his assistants. This is a time-consuming procedure.
In addition to the laboratory work, the technicians have embalmed 317 bodies. In the midst of his other work, the pathologist has found time to do some research work. Mention of
this is made in his report. It is to be greatly regretted that
our institution, as well as those of other states, contribute so
little towards research work in a field of which we have such
comparatively meager knowledge. The pathologist's report
contains much information of interest.
The training school under the Superintendent of Nurses
continues its work in the same manner as formerly. Many of
its graduates are filling positions of responsibility and importance.
In May and October short courses were given the newly
employed attendants. Each course consisted of lectures whicli
supplemented quizzes and examination on a small pamphlet

24

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

prepared for the purpose. In addition to this, a monthly
bulletin was published and distributed to the wards. The
course has not yet been made what it should be, but we hope
that eventually it will be much improved. Without doubt,
the monthly bulletin does more to improve the nursing of the
insane than anything so far tried.
The clinic at Macon continues with about the same attendance as in former years. The results are good. The location
of rooms for the clinic are a definite drawback to its further
upbuilding.
The classes in psychology from the University of Georgia
and from Emory University spent several days at the institution in the late spring. They were given all the advantages
possible to study the manifestations of abnormal psychology.
The medical department cannot function at its best without the co-operation of the other departments. We have been
glad to receive the assistance of these departments in the
year's work.
We cannot escape the feeling that the spirit of the entire
medical service has improved. The suggestions and foresight
of the physicians have helped very materially in making our
hospital a better one. The uniform willingness with which
the nursing force has undertaken to carry out untried procedures proves their loyalty.
Acknowledgments are made to the Board, to you and the
entire medical service for assistance and suggestions looking
to the betterment of the medical work.
Respectfully submitted,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

Serological Examinations
Of the 1,501 specimens of blood examined for the Wassermann reaction during the year, 1,200 were secured, in conformity with our routine practice, from patients newly admitted to the hospital. A tabulation of the results of these
routine examinations follows:

The average percentage of 4-plus Wassermann reactions
obtained by routine examinations of blood specimens in the institution during the years 1914-1924, inclusive, is 12.5.
Of the 446 specimens of cerebrospinal fluid examined, 295
were obtained from patients admitted to the institution during
the year. A routine examination of the cerebrospinal fluid
is made in the case of each patient whose blood reacts positively to the Wassermann test. In the following tabulation
there is shown the incidence of serological neurosyphilis
among patients admitted to the hospital during the year. The
term '' luetic'' is here employed to denote the occurrence of
a positive Wassermann reaction upon the cerebrospinal fluid,
and usually also other serological indications of syphilis of
the nervous system as well.

Necropsies
During the year, 49 necropsies were performed. Sections
of tissue, taken from the principal viscera and from gross
lesions, were examined. A complete record of the necropsy
findings in each case is filed in the office of the Clinical Director, as well as in the Laboratory.

62

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

By a more persistent effort to get in touch with relatives
of patients, by explaining to such relatives the value to themselves and others of the information sought, and by assuring
them that careful restitution of the body will be made upon
the completion of our examination, we could, I believe, obtain
permission for necropsy in a larger percentage of patients
dying in the institution. The granting of permission for
necropsy affords us an opportunity to render a service to the
relatives of patients as well as to expand our knowledge of
diseases that we are called upon to treat.
Intestinal Parasites
Of the 843 specimens of feces examined this year, 356
contained parasites or their ova, in the following order of frequency: Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, Ascaris
lumbricoides, Trichomonas hominis, Strongylus stercoralis,
Endameba coli, Hymenolepis nana, Endameba histolytica, and
Enterobius vermicularis. I have omitted from this report,
however, a detailed analysis of the findings, for the reason
that they do not show accurately the incidence of intestinal
parasitic infections either among the patients admitted to the
hospital during the year or in the population of the institution as a whole.
Research
We have done some work upon the question of the possible anaphylactoid nature of so-called essential epilepsy. Our
endeavor has been to demonstrate indirectly, by means of precipitin-production, the existence of a specific protein antigenic
substance, and to determine whether or not changes in the
total number and relative percentages of the various kinds of
leucocytes bear a definite relation to the occurrence of th;
convulsive seizures. We are making quantitative determinations of the dextrose content of the cerebrospinal fluid in the
various psychoses. All of the foregoing investigations are still
in progress.
Milk
In compliance with your instructions, we have examined
monthly, a specimen of milk from each of the various sources
of supply, including the Sanitarium dairy. In these examinations, we have employed the standard methods of milk analysis
recommended by the American Public Health Association.

Equipment
Our work has been somewhat facilitated by the installation
in the laboratory of a gasoline gas machine, which machine is
simple to operate and economical to maintain.
Embalming
The technicians are also embalmers, and, in addition to their
other duties, have embalmed, during the year, 317 cadavers.
Personnel
The summary given at the beginning of this report shows
a total for the year of 6,566 examinations, exclusive of such
procedures as the preparation of bacteriological and serological
reagents, and the collection of specimens. The laboratory is
fortunate in having experienced technicians; without such
trained assistance, it would have been impossible to handle
adequately so large a volume of work. Mr. Leaptrott has had
thirteen years continuous service in the laboratory; Mr. Johnson, five years. If the demands upon the laboratory continue
to increase, as they should normally do, we shall soon require
an additional assistant. My time, as well as that of the technicians, is so nearly completely consumed by the routine work
that I cannot find the time that I would like to devote to histopathological'and other studies.
Respectfully,
E. B. SAVE,
Pathologist.

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Dentist's Report
FOR THE YEAR

1924
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA.,
JANUARY 1ST, 1925.

DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Dear Sir:
I have the honor of submitting the report of the Dental
Department for the year ending Dee. 31st, 1924.
In caring for the mouths of the patients in an institution
as large as ours, the dentist's first concern has been, of necessity, to give relief promptly to those suffering with acute
oral disorders.
In order that this may be accomplished, those having the
patients in their immediate charge are instructed to report at
once all cases of acute oral infection that may come to their
attention.
There are many patients within the Sanitarium who wish
to conserve their teeth, whose general mental condition, whose
habits of personal cleanliness and whose willingness to co-operate with the dentist are such as to justify the most careful attention.
Such patients may be divided into two classes, (a) those
whose residence within the institution will likely terminate
at an early date, and (b) those who will probably have to
remain for an indefinite period. For the latter class thorough work, of a permanent nature, is supplied; while, for the
most part, those coming within the first class are given work
more temporary in character, that their teeth may not deteriorate during the time that may elapse before they can
again command the services of their home dentists.
The mouths of all patients are given an examination by
the dentist promptly after admission.
I would call attention to the fact that the work of a single dentist is incorporated in this report, although the patients have profited by the services of a second dentist through
the month of December, and it may not seem amiss, in this

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

65

connection, to express my gratification that the Board of Trustees has recognized the need of the services of a second dentist in the institution.
The dentists reside within the institution, and their services are available at all times.
Below will be found an itemized statement of the work
done in this department during the year 1924:

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Dear Sir:
I wish to submit the following as the report of the Training
School for Nurses for the year beginning January 1st, 1923,
and ending December 31st, 1924.
The record of the year's work has been unusually good, the
class work of high order and practical.
Wo have experienced no difficulty in obtaining desirable
applicants, most of them being 21 years of age or over. We
find stadents of this age to be more reliable, interested and
ethical than younger students.
Four of our graduate, charge, nurses had a leave of absence f jr six months during the year for a post-graduate
course.
The annual commencement of the Training School was
held on the evening of July 16th in the amusement hall, Dr.
R. C. Swint, Superintendent, presiding.
The class address was eloquently delivered by Senator
Joseph B. Duke, of Eatonton.
The diplomas were presented by Hon. John T. Brantley,
President of the Board of Trustees, and the hospital pins by
Dr. Thomas M. Hall, also a member of the Board.
Miss Pauline Maxwell sang very sweetly "Where My Caravan Has Rested" and "Love, Here Is My Heart."
A dance and reception followed, music being furnished
by the Sanitarium Band.
The following are the names of the graduates receiving
diplomas:
Miss Ruth Estelle Grimes
Miss
Miss Martha Loraine Hartley Miss
Miss Nannie Mae Poss

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPOR1

Report of Pharmacist
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent, Georgia State Sanitarium.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Pharmaceutical
Department for the year ending December 31st, 1924:
By comparing this report with the one of the previous
year, you will see an increase in the laboratory work and in
prescriptions sent out.
There are few changes in prices. Some few chemicals have
declined, but this is offset by advance in other essentials, such
as castor oil. Our figure for purchase of goods may seem
large, but when we consider that all surgical dressings, disinfectants, supplies for mortuary and dental departments are
included in this, the actual cost of medicine per patient is
small.
To you, the Board of Trustees, the Clinical Director and
other officers of the institution, I am truly grateful for many
helpful suggestions and hearty co-operation.

In addition to this work, we have cut about 500 cords of
wood and delivered to the buildings, cleared about 40 acres
of new ground. All the coal from the chutes has been distributed by my department. The entire road system of the
institution has been worked and kept in condition by several small improvements, as grading hills and putting sewer
piping where necessary.
During the year I have kept one mule and one horse for
their board.
I have worked seven mules short the entire year, due to
some dying and having to use some elsewhere. I let the white
occupational therapy department have one, then I had to put
two to the trash carts when we did away with the old steers. I
consider the mules a great improvement over the steers.
I sold the seven old steers for $230.00, hoping to use that
money and purchase a pair of mules to take their places.
We purchased 1,000 white leghorn baby chicks last April
* rom them we have about 365 grown pullets, from which we
expect to start a first class chicken farm.
The freeze last January killed everything we had growing
thus making us late with our vegetables, as we had to start
all over. The oat crop was also killed, but we planted a few
spring oats to get out seed for this fall.
T ie
! ¥*/& weather during July and August caused our
peas to shed their blooms, making the crop a failure.

I wish to thank you, the Board of Trustees, the officers of
the institution and others for the gratitude and co-operation
shown me and my department throughout the year.
Respectfully,
F. C. PBNUEL,

Report of Engineer
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent and Resident Physician.
Dear Sir:—Please find below the annual report of the
Engineer's Department for the year ending December 31st,
1924:
Improvements
Four pipe lines for taking steam and hot water from the
boiler room of the Jones Building to the John T. Brantley
Building, and for the return circulation, have been laid
under ground between the two buildings. These pipes are all
anchored under the buildings and provision has been made
for the expansion in them in a reinforced concrete manhole
set midway between the two buildings. These pipes are all
laid in approved conduit and with the best insulation available. Drainage is provided along the length of each pipe
line, which necessarily are on different levels, and the ditch
filled in with field gravel up to the center line of them.
Work on the John T. Brantley Building was begun late
in the year, but no great amount of work has been accomplished since it was necessary to get together the material for
it.
Partitions dividing the front part of two of the buildings
at the Colony into rooms for single patients have been
removed and the whole of that part of the buildings thrown
into an open dormitory, which makes for more accommodation.
A hog pen to be used for fattening hogs has been built
near the slaughter pen. This pen is 16 ft. by 18 ft. It has
a concrete floor and has a roof built over it on substantial
columns. The roof is of galvanized corrugated iron and has
an over hang of two feet on all sides.
Eight electric lights have been put in the cold storage
rooms. Marine type fixtures were used in this work in order
to prevent the "shorting" of the current from the moisture
unavoidable there. For this service it was necessary to run
a separate circuit from the switch box in the boiler room.

used for occupational therapy work. The floors are stained
and waxed.
The floors of all the rooms and the corridors in the L. M.
Jones Building have been stained and waxed.
The operating room at the Negro Building, and the adjoining rooms have been repaired and painted. The outside of this
building has been painted also.
Bight stone markers have been set at Fort Wilkinson, outlining the five acres given by the state to the Nancy Hart

has been built over this oven to protect it from the weather.
Five and one-fifth squares of metal ceiling has been put
in place of defective plastering in the Powell Building.
Three adapters have been purchased. These adapters
make it possible for us to use the hose of the Milledgeville
Fire Department on our fire plugs, should the occasion require it.
The Mobley Cottage has been repaired and painted
throughout.
The Echols Cottage has been painted inside and out.
An additional coal heater has been put in the 27th female
ward, and two new brick chimneys required by the change
from wood burning furnace to coal have been built.
The roof of the 27th white female ward has been partially
recovered with shingles.
The cottage at the dry dairy, and one of those in the rear
of the Negro Building have had new roofs put on them.
The Yarborough Cottage has been painted on the outside.

Eighty-Second Annual Report
OF THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1926.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor.
SIR:

The Georgia State Sanitarium completed on December
31, 1925, its eighty-second year of continuous service to the
insane, and the record made is now respectfully submitted
for your consideration by the Board of Trustees. The annual
report of the Superintendent and Resident Physician is
attached hereto and will supply interesting details of the
year's work, income and expenditures, movement of population, etc. It will be noted from this report that a total of
6,225 patients received treatment during the year, the daily
average being 4,591; that the year closed with 5,319 patients
enrolled on the books of the Sanitarium, of which number
678 were furloughed, with the right of return any time
within twelve months; that 1,175 new patients were admitted
during the year, 18 of whom were found not to be insane;
that the number of patients now in the Sanitarium exceeds
its normal capacity by 740, and that because of this fact
the doors of the Sanitarium have been closed except to the
curahle and dangerous cases; that the per capita cost of
maintenance was $229.14, the daily per capita cost being but
$.6277, which shows a slight increase over the cost of 1924;
that the Sanitarium has lived within its income, and that it
continues to advance in efficiency and, therefore, in usefulness. Credit for this happy state of affairs goes primarily
to the Superintendent and Resident Physician, and secondarily to the members of the medical and business staffs, as
well as to the nurses and attendants, who have given him
fine co-operation in his efforts to advance the well-being of
the afflicted ones in his care. It is the duty and pleasure of
the Board to heartily commend him and them for the splendid
record made.
Asylum and Hospital
The Sanitarium is charged with two distinct duties. It
must provide an asylum for the chronic insane where they
may have the humane custodial care needed by them. It

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL, REPORT

must likewise provide a hospital where recent or curable
cases of insanity may be given such care and expert treatment
as may possibly restore them to mental health. Both of these
duties have been faithfully discharged, and despite the lack
ot sufficient equipment, the Sanitarium is steadily advancing
in efficiency. The efforts of the medical staff are not confined
to the curable cases alone. Through the use of vocational
therapy and habit-forming training, satisfactory results are
being had, even among the chronic insane. The devoted interest of officers and employees has made possible what the
-tioard believes to be the best work yet done in its long and
useful history.
Growth in Population
The comparative figures here submitted illustrate the
steady increase in the population of the Sanitarium:
Year
1900 1925
No. of patients on hand at beginning of year 2,440 4 447
No. new patients received
'696 l'l75
No. patients on hand at close of year
2,551 4'640
Daily average number of patients
2^495 4^591
Total number receiving treatment in the year___3)l59 6^225
No Corresponding Increase in Equipment
Prom 1900 to 1925 three buildings for patients and one
for nurses, providing room for 1,458 patients, were added
to the Sanitarium equipment. In the same time the daily
average number of patients in the Sanitarium grew from
2,495 to 4,591, an increase of 2,096. The increase in equipment has not kept pace with the increase in population It
was over-crowded in 1900, as the report of the Board for
that year shows, and is over-crowded to-day. Some relief
has been afforded in this time by the establishment of a
colony farm for negro male patients, bv the building on the
Sanitarium grounds of pavilions for the use of tubercular
patients and by the occupancy in the present year of the
nurses home, through which rooms were vacated on the
wards for patients. But even so, room is still needed for
740 patients had in excess of the normal capacity of the
Sanitarium.
Admissions Restricted
So acute is the situation in respect of room that the
Board in October last was compelled most reluctantly to issue

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

an order to the Superintendent and Resident Physician,
directing him to decline to receive other patients, with but
two exceptions. He is permitted to receive recent or acute cases
which offer hope of benefit through proper care and treatment, and violent cases found to be dangerous to themselves
or others. This order will continue in force until additional
accommodations are had. The Board is very conscious of the
hardship and suffering caused by this order, but there was
no escape from it. A specific recommendation for the additional buildings required for the use of patients appears
elsewhere in this report.
Convict and Criminal Insane
The Board enters its most earnest protest against the
effort made from time to time to transfer to the Sanitarium
the care of the convict insane now in the custody of another
department of the State government, and with this protest
it would just as emphatically recommend an amendment to
the present law which will make it the duty of the same
department to care for the criminal insane; that is to say,
those persons who escape punishment for crime through plea
of insanity. This protest and recommendation are based on
these facts: The Sanitarium is in no sense a prison, having
neither prison walls, bars nor guards, by means of which
the escape of dangerous criminals can be prevented. It is,
on the contrary, a hospital for the mentally sick, in which by
skilled treatment and gentle, humane care they may possibly
be restored to mental health. To create a prison atmosphere
about them would be fatal to such treatment. To force the
association by law of the innocent insane with the criminal
insane now in the Sanitarium is revolting enough, but when
it is proposed to add the convict insane to their number, such
enforced association outrages every sense of decency.
Pay Patients
The present law governing the Sanitarium provides for
pay patients, but is couched in such vague terms as to make
it difficult of practical application. So much is this the case
that the Board has thus far been unable to enforce it. Its
usefulness and value are doubtful. The best interests of
society and the State demand that the insane shall be properly
cared for, it matters not whether they be paupers or possessed of means. If the effect of this law is to keep out of
the Sanitarium those who should properly be there, it operates against such interests. The law sets up no machinery

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

for determining the value of the estate of persons found to
be insane, or for collecting therefrom for the use of the Sanitarium its charge for such support. It makes no provision
for continuing in the Sanitarium on a pauper basis those
persons whose estate may become exhausted or from which no
collection can be made. If they still continue insane, it is
manifest that they can not be discharged for failure to pay.
The effect of the law, if possible of application, is to create in
'the_Sanitarium two classes of patients—those who pay and
those who do not, a distinction capable of doing much harm
to the pauper patients and most unfortunate in its effect.
The revenue possible to be had in this way will not overcome the injustice of the law. In the judgment of the Board,
it should be promptly repealed and the Sanitarium made
free, as heretofore, to the bona-fide citizens of the State whose
taxes make it possible. The division of the cost of maintenance might possibly be distributed between the State and
the County committing, but the value of this is problematical
if it shall result in keeping out of the Sanitarium, because
of such cost, those who should for the best interests of society
and the State be committed to it.
If, however, the present law is to remain unchanged it
should be clarified, and should provide the necessary machinery for ascertaining the value of the estate of such patients,
and for collecting for the use of the Sanitarium its charge
for support.
Murder of a Patient
The most terrible incident in the history of the Sanitarium occurred in September last, when Miss Amy Oxford,
instructor in vocational therapy, while passing through the
grounds in the discharge of her duties, was struck and
instantly killed by a negro patient, to be followed a few
days later 'by the murder of this patient at the hands of
parties who are still unknown. Entrance was forced at night
into the building in which he was confined, from which he
was carried into the adjoining County and there murdered
Every effort has been made by the Board to discover the
perpetrators of this horrible crime, without success The
reward offered by your Excellency for proof to convict was
supplemented by an offer by the Board of $1,000.00 for the
same proof, but no information has yet been had. The offer
continues in force. The simple doors and locks which guard
the patients are not proof against such attacks at the hands
oi determined men.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Water Supply
The consumption of water by the Sanitarium is now in
excess of 700,000 gallons daily. The pumping plant has a
capacity of 1,000,000 gallons of filtered water in twenty-four
hours. The increasing consumption also increases the pressure on the single main connecting the plant with the Sanitarium, and, therefore, increases the danger of breakage. A
part of this main is laid under a creek which at flood frequently spreads out for a mile or more. If a break should
occur at such a timte and place the impossibility of repairing
it under such condition will put the Sanitarium in a situation
not pleasant to contemplate. The only possible solution is
a duplicate main, and a recommendation is elsewhere made to
cover its cost.
Recent Additions to the Plant
The new building so long in construction was completed
during the year, and is now occupied by the nurses, for whom
it was intended. Their removal to it vacated many rooms on
the wards for the use of patients. This generous recognition
of the worth of these faithful employees is much appreciated
by them and promises to bring about a still greater improvement in the nursing service. The building and its modest
furnishings are such as reflect credit on the State.
The new ice plant provided for at the last session of
the Legislature is under way and will shortly be in use. Its
completion will supply one of the most urgent of the Sanitarium's needs. When such completion is had the old plant
will be transferred without charge to the Prison Commission
for use at the Prison Farm.
Other Equipment Which Must Be Had
1. To provide for the 740 patients now in the Sanitarium in excess of its normal capacity and to allow room
for future growth, four new buildings, two for each race,
with a capacity of not less than 1,200 patients, are now
necessary. Such buildings will care for 460 patients in
excess of the present population. With admissions slowly
mounting higher each year, and already approximating 1,200
annually, such growth is inevitable if the Sanitarium is to
continue to do its duty.
2. The greatest need of the Medical Department in
treating the acute and curable cases of insanity, and in caring
for the physically sick, is a general hospital located amid the

10

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

pleasantest surroundings possible and supplied with every
appliance known to be of value to the ends sought. Both
races should be provided for in it. It will enable the curable
cases to be separated from the chronic cases and thus remove
a present serious handicap to successful treatment. In it
should be located all of the reception wards in which new
patients are kept for observation and diagnosis, as well as
all of the hospital wards, operating rooms, etc. By means
of this concentration under one roof much better attention is
made possible. Such a hospital will greatly advance the work
of the Medical Department, and at the same time provide
more room for patients in the general wards.
3. A need of much importance is a larger amusement
hall, the present one, built many years ago, being entirely outgrown. It provides for the convalescent patients through moving pictures, concerts, dances and religious services, with
their principal pleasures, and should by all means be made
ample in size for this purpose. Whatever is needed to lessen
the pathos of their condition should be supplied with a
generous hand. The Board would suggest that such a building when erected should provide recreation rooms for the
white male attendants in which they can gather for social
pleasure when off duty.
4. A frame building is needed by the Medical Department in carrying on occupational therapy work among the
white female patients, from which such good results are
being had. The cost is very small in comparison with the
great good to come from it,
5. If fire escapes are deemed a necessity, they should
be had at once. Ladder escapes would be .as dangerous to
the patients as fire, and only tube escapes can be used.
Inside enclosed stairways have been relied on for many years
as the means of escape in case of fire, and these are bad. The
buildings are constantly patrolled at night as a further protection.
6. The growth of the Sanitarium has made necessary
more commodious offices for the officers in charge. As one
solution of this problem the Board would like to see the
Superintendent and Resident Physician; supplied with a
residence in keeping with the dignity of his position and
roomy enough to enable him to dispense the hospitality
expected of one in his position. His present quarters in the
Powell Building could then be converted into offices.

7. A central heating plant with which is combined an
electric light and power plant offers possibilities of economy.
Appropriations Recommended
1. For the sum of $700,000, to be used for the erection
and equipment of four buildings for the use of patients.
2. For the sum of $250,000, to be used for the erection
and equipment of a general hospital building.
3. For the sum of $44,000, to defray the cost of a duplicate water main from the pumping station to the Sanitarium.
4. For the sum of $50,000, to be used for the erection
of an amusement hall for the use of patients.
5. For the sum of $8,000, to be used for the erection
of an occupational therapy building.
6. For the sum of $25,000, to be used for the erection of
a home for the Superintendent.
7. For the sum of $25,000 to provide fire escapes of
approved type.
Amendments to the Law Recommended
The Board recommends an amendment to the law which
will make the Sanitarium free to bona-fide citizens of the
State:
Also that the present name of the Sanitarium to be
changed to read "State Hospital for the Insane," the better
to define its functions.
The Appreciation of the Board
The Board makes grateful acknowledgment of the generous support given it by your Excellency, by the State
Auditor and by the General Assembly in its faithful effort
to have the Sanitarium fully realize the merciful purpose
for which it was founded. It begs for an even more generous
support in the future, that it may be in position to do all that
is humanly possible for the relief of these sorely afflicted ones
for whom it is responsible. With a prayer that the blessings
of a Merciful Father may continue to rest on this great house
of mercy, this report is respectfully submitted.
By order of the Board of Trustees.

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Report of the Superintendent
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1926.

The Honorable Board of Trustees,
Georgia State Sanitarium,
Milledgeville, Ga.
GENTLEMEN :
In accordance with your rules and statutory requirements, I respectfully submit the Eighty-second Annual Report of the Georgia State Sanitarium, which covers the period
from January 1, 1925, through December 31, 1925.
Appended hereto are reports of the Clinical Director,
Pathologist, Dentist, Superintendent of Nurses, Pharmacist,
Engineer, Steward, Farm Steward and Treasurer. These
reports give a general review of the activities of the institution in its various departments throughout the year.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

A comparative study of the above statistics shows that
first admissions increased 32, readmissions decreased 8, and
total admissions increased 24, as compared to the previous
year. The percentage of the discharges from the records
(patients who remained on furlough over twelve months) as
recovered and improved, based on the number of admissions,
was 35.5%, compared with 35.8% the previous year; also
the daily average was 202 more, and the deaths 10 less.
Of the actual resident patient population, 852 patients
were furloughed during the year, and of this number 660,
or 56%, were restored or improved—based on the total admissions; 174 were unimproved, but clinically harmless, and 18
were discharged as not insane.
Over-crowding has been, and continues one of our most
pressing problems. It has greatly handicapped the efficiency
of the institution throughout the year.
The records and previous reports of the Sanitarium show
that this has been a serious problem for many years. The
actual resident patient population has never been as great
as it is now, and the over-crowding never so acute, and as
serious. It is unjust to new admissions, as well as those
already in the Sanitarium to allow over-crowding of such
proportions, and I hope that the above statement will be
adequate without more word painting to indicate the seriousness of this problem.
In order to clarify the situation, it might be well to
note just here that the additional 198 beds available after
opening the John T. Brantley Building (nurses' home) on
July 15th, 1925, gave the Sanitarium a normal capacity of
3,900 beds, and these additional beds provided a slight relief
for_excessive over-crowding on white female reception wards,
but overcrowding there is still hazardous, as we are still
required to sleep two patients in rooms intended for only one.
We began the year with an actual resident patient population of 4,447 and closed with 4,640, a net increase of 193,
or an actual over-crowding of 740 above normal capacity, not
counting 678 patients on parole, who have the privilege of
returning, if necessary, during their furlough period.
It seems that many of the Counties over the State have
abolished their almshouses, and there appears a slight grow-

14

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

ing tendency to commit to the Sanitarium senile persons who
are more or less invalids; also feeble-minded individuals who
might be cared for at home with some extra personal attention, or who might be successfully cared for in County almshouses.
When we decline the application for admission of such
type of cases, we find it difficult to resist the appeals of relatives, and in some instance physicians and politicians, who
seem not to hesitate to exaggerate the merits of the applicant.
We hope, however, that by adhering to resolutions below
that you adopted at full Board meeting in October, 1925,
there will result a decrease in number of admissions during
the coming year, and that the total discharges will outnumber
or at least equal total admissions, and thereby prevent any
further population increase.
We cannot feel so sanguine about this, however, as the
applications for admission seem to be increasing.
The following is the copy of letter mailed to the Ordinaries containing the resolutions above referred to:
"Judge Court of Ordinary.
"DEAR SIR:

"I am instructed by the Board of Trustees of the Georgia
State Sanitarium to send to the Ordinaries of the various
Counties of the State the following resolutions adopted at this
meeting, October 22, 1925:
"The over-crowded condition of the Sanitarium being
under consideration, the following action was had:
"It appearing that the Georgia State Sanitarium,
with a normal capacity of 3,900 patients, is now taxed
with the care of 4,650, with 676 other patients furloughed, with the right to return within twelve months,
and that as a result of this condition two and three patients are crowded into rooms intended for one, which
is dangerous, unsanitary and a handicap to treatment;
and these facts have been repeatedly reported by the
Board of Trustees, with no relief granted; and that
the ever-increasing demand for admission makes some
action by the Board imperative; therefore,

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

"It is ordered, effective October 28, 1925, that the
Superintendent of the Sanitarium shall enforce the
following rules:
"1. Admission shall be granted to very urgent
cases; that is, to young acute cases whose symptoms
are of recent origin, and who offer hope of benefit by
treatment, and to violent cases dangerous to themselves and others, who cannot be safely cared for at
home, and are unable to pay for treatment in a private
hospital.
"2. Admission shall be denied to senile, feebleminded and harmless incurable cases who cannot be
benefited by treatment.
"3. Ordinaries shall be required to send the Superintendent in advance of commitment a full history of
each and every case proposed to be committed, in order
that he may determine if and when said applicant may
be received.
"4 A copy of this action shall be sent to every
Ordinary of the State, in order that he may have a
clear understanding of the condition which makes this
action necessary and imperative.
"5. These rules shall continue in force as long
as the present condition prevails."
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a review of
the medical work and nursing service for the year. Notwithstanding the shortage of staff members, the medical work
was kept at the usual standard of excellence. The Clinical
Director and Staff more actively interested themselves in
habit training, and some gratifying results were obtained
along this line.
The monthly bulletin of the Clinical Director has been
of interest and help to the nursing personnel. We anticipate
further development and results along this line during the
coming year.
The Sanitarium population was not afflicted with any
epidemics of acute physical illness, except during the sum-

16

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

mer there was a short epidemic of acute enteritis of unknown
cause. A rather extensive laboratory study of this disease
failed to give us any information as to its cause. Clinically
it was characterized by diarrhoea, with very little temperature
reaction, but with profound prostration, and in many instances rapid fatal termination. The same type of illness
occurred about the same period in other localities of the
State. It was not traceable to any local dietary cause. Our
total death rate during the year, based on the number under
treatment, was 6.94%.
Dr. Joseph Goldberger, of Washington, D. O, of the
United States Public Health Service, continued his research
studies of pellagra with Dr. G. A. Wheeler, of the Public
Health 'Service, in immediate charge of this work. The research work of these two physicians has been of interest,
stimulating, and has given us valuable information concerning the cause and treatment of this dreadful malady.
During the early part of the year, with your permission,
we arranged with Dr. Sam Darling, of the Rockefeller
Foundation, who had charge of the malarial research station
at Leesburg, Ga., to send a member of his staff here to work
with our Staff in doing some research study of the malarial
treatment of general paralysis of the insane. Dr. Henry
Carr, of the Foundation, was sent, and, working with members of our Staff, inoculated fifty-five cases of general paralysis of the insane. We are not yet prepared to offer an
opinion as to the merits of this type of treatment, but results
noted to date are not so encouraging.
The unfortunate occurrence during September resulting
in the death of Miss Amy Oxford, our Occupation Therapy
Director, and in a few days the lynching of the colored male
patient who struck her, by an unknown mob, cast a gloom
over the entire Sanitarium for some time. I hope that the
institution will never have to experience another such trying
ordeal. The Sanitarium is a hospital, and not a prison.
Therefore, we are not prepared to offer armed resistance to
the invasion of mobs.
The establishment of the school psychiatric clinic at
Blberton in September expanded our extra mural activities,
and in the course of time should prove of value. The edu-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

17

cational propaganda and advice obtained from such clinics
properly conducted has a far-reaching effect toward causing
the public to get away from old superstitions, and to assume
a more correct attitude toward mental disease and the Sanitarium. A member of our Staff conducts this clinic twice a
month. The psychiatric clinic at Macon, that we have been
conducting for several years, was kept up, and held weekly
by one of our Staff members. It has become rather definitely
established, and is now regarded as a part of the regular
medical program for the City of Macon and its vicinity.
Dental Service
It is generally recognized by physicians and dentists that
diseased teeth and infections have a pathological effect on
the human organism, and in order that this feature of treatment may receive proper attention, the Sanitarium employs
two full-timed dentists, one for the female service and one
for the male service. Both of these dentists reside in the
institution, and devote their entire time to the dental service.
The report of the Senior Dentist gives the character and
amount of work done in this department during the year.
Recreational Diversions
The Clinical Director's report gives a review of the
activities during the year in the Occupation Therapy Department, It is our policy to interest patients in some form of
diversion as soon as possible after their admission. On account
of the large population of the hospital, and our limited facilities, this work has to be mainly concentrated on new admissions, although a large per cent, of our hospital population
is daily engaged in some form of work that is more or less
beneficial to them, and very necessary for the operation of
the hospital. The weekly dances and picture shows were
kept up during the year. Our projection machine, unfortunately, caught fire in December, and it was practically destroyed, with damage to the booth and amusement hall. The
picture shows will have to be discontinued until the machine
is replaced, and an absolutely fire-proof booth constructed.
When the weather was favorable we made the rule of
taking all the patients that were able, out of the buildings
to the recreation grounds twice daily. Many of them were
given walks over the grounds, and some of the white females
were given picnics by the occupation teachers.

18

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

The Sanitarium Band kept up the tri-weekly concerts.
The band leader also organized an orchestra that played at
the picture shows, which added to its entertainment feature.
Religious services were held every Sunday afternoon
as formerly.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives a detailed account of
the receipts and disbursements made during the year. Our
per capita cost was $229.14, compared with $227.10 the previous year. The per diem cost was .6277, compared to .6222.
These figures include every item of cost connected with hospitalization of patients, as well as maintenance and repairs
of physical plant. However, the institution could not be
operated on so small a per capita cost at the same standard
of efficiency without the aid of our farm, garden and dairy
productions, and the practice of strict economy on every
hand.
But there are many needs and improvements that might
be added for the welfare of our unfortunate charges if funds
were more liberally appropriated. I think that the dominant
question in our minds should be—What are we doing for our
patients, rather than how cheaply are we operating the institution.
In this connection it might be of interest to note that
we spent $48,952.00 more for food, $6,751.00 less for clothing
and dry goods, and $14,798.00 less for fuel compared to the
previous year.
The report of the Farm Steward gives a tabulated statement of the productions for the year of the farm, garden,
dairy and poultry yard.
Improvements and Repairs
The report of the Engineer gives a detailed description
of the items constructed in this department during the year.
We are delighted to report that the John T. Brantley Building (home for white female employes) has been completed,
furnished and occupied since July 15th. It is modern in
construction and furnishings. We are proud of it. I believe
that it will prove a benediction to the institution.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

19

Other notable improvements were the construction of
three badly needed tubercular pavilions for colored females,
and the addition of verandas to the two old ones which are
now occupied by colored males. These additions now provide
adequate quarters for the tubercular cases among our colored
population.
The two tile silos, with combined capacity of 600 tons
of silage, that were constructed at the dairy, provides^ muchneeded addition that should contribute to the efficiency of
the dairy.
The replacement of concrete floors in bath and toilet
rooms in the Twin Building were other needed improvements.
These replacements were completed on six of the wards, but
this work had to be discontinued for awhile. It might be wise
to consider extending this type of improvement to the other
wards of the institution.
Plans also have been made and work begun on the construction of the new ice and cold storage plant. We hope to
have this completed by summer.
Needs Requiring Special Appropriations
1. Over-crowding is the Sanitarium's most acute problem. I think it would be wiser for the State to build another
State Hospital for Mental Disease in some other section of
the State rather than further enlarge this institution, although
it would be practicable to enlarge this plant to a 6,000 patient
basis.
2. If this institution is to provide adequate facilities
for caring for the present needs and demands of the mentally afflicted in the State, it should now have four additional buildings to provide for 740 patients who are already
over-crowding our normal capacity, in addition to making a
capacity provision for annual increase of about 200 population from new admissions.
Estimated cost for four buildings, $700,000.00.
3. In my opinion a modern hospital building with adequate capacity and equipment to care for the special medical
and surgical needs of the entire Sanitarium would be a farseeing and progressive addition. It would have a great influence toward hospitalizing the atmosphere of the entire Sani-

20

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

tarium, and provide an equipment essential for the study and
treatment of the very complex problems of the mentally
afflicted.
Estimated cost, $250,000.00.
4. As previously recommended: A duplicate water
main from pumping station to Sanitarium. Estimated cost,
$44,000.00.
Occupation Therapy building for white females. Estimated cost, $10,000.00.
Outside fire escapes. Estimated cost, $25,000.00.
Amusement hall adequate for Sanitarium population.
Estimated cost, $50,000.00.
Conclusion
In concluding this report, I desire to express my gratitude to your honorable body for your official co-operation,
personal kindness and constant interest in the affairs of the
institution throughout the year. Also to aknowledge my appreciation of the faithful services rendered by the officers
and the employes, and to thank the Women's Clubs, American Legion, Knights of Columbus and others who were so
thoughtful and kind with so many gifts to the patients during
the Christmas season.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Clinical Director
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

I have the honor of submitting the report of the Medical
Department of the Sanitarium for the year ending December
31, 1925:
During the year 1,175 patients were received. Of these
954 were first admissions and 221 were readmissions.
Of the readmissions, 44 had been admitted to either private hospitals or to other state hospitals; 177 had been previously admitted to this hospital.
Twenty-two patients were diagnosed as not insane. Of
these, 2 showed no evidence of insanity after admission and
no history was obtained pointing definitely to mental disturbance before admission. In three cases the commitment
seems to have been due to alcoholism; in the case of two,
criminal charges had been preferred; one drug addict not
insane was admitted; one suffered from encephalitis; two
from epilepsy; eight were classified as constitutional psychopathic inferiority and three as mentally deficient.
Ten criminals were sent by order of court, eight whites
and two colored. The court charges were as1 follows: Stealing,
1; vagrancy, 2; homicide, 3 ; beastiality, 1; wife-beating, 1;
robbery, 1; larceny, 1. Of these ten, one suffered from manic
depressive insanity; 2 dementia praecox; 4 psychosis associated with mental deficiency, and 3 were not insane. In the
case of the homicides, 1 was classified as dementia praecox,
1 as mental deficiency (low grade, not responsible), and 1,
who came late in the year, is still under observation.
Eight hundred and fifty-two (852) patients were furloughed, of whom 665 were restored or improved. Leaving
out the not insane patients received, this gives us a recovery
rate of 57%. Twenty of the furloughed patients were removed
to government hospitals for ex-veterans.

22

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

There were no epidemics or outbreaks of acute disease
during the year other than an enteritis of unidentified character. Rather extensive laboratory investigations did not
reveal any etiological factor. There were reasons for thinking
that it may have been the enteric form of influenza. It was
prevalent in this section at the time.
There were 396 deaths, a percentage of 7.0 of those
treated. The leading causes of death in their order were as
follows: Arteriosclerosis, 59; cerebral hemorrhage, 44; general paralysis of the insane, 41; broncho pneumonia, 38;
tuberculosis, 37. Only seven deaths were assigned to pellagra.
Of these six died within twenty-five days after admission
and the seventh died three months and twenty-six days after
being admitted. Following the observations and recommendations of Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler, yeast has been used
as an adjunct to the dietetic treatment of pellagra and has
been found to be a valuable therapeutic agent in the acute
stages of this disease.
We here acknowledge our indebtedness to Fleischman
Company for having furnished generous quantities of yeast
to the institution. These manufacturers have agreed to furnish yeast again for the year 1926, and it is expected that a
much more satisfactory estimate of the value of yeast as a
therapeutic agent in pellagra will be arrived at. It may be
of interest to recall that in 1915 a diagnosis of phychosis
due to pellagra was made in the case of 210 patients and
that 220 deaths were assigned to pellagra in that year. In
the year 1925 the diagnosis of psychosis due to pellagra was
made in twenty-three instances, and that, as above stated,
seven deaths were due to this disease in the same year.
Fifty-seven (57) patients died within one month after
admission. This is about the same as in former years.
In 1905 our death rate from tuberculosis per thousand
patients treated was 30; in 1925 it was 6.4, a reduction of 78
per cent. For many years approximately 40 per cent, of
the deaths from tuberculosis in our hospital have occurred
among the colored females. The erection during the year of
the three new tubercular pavilions for this department will
provide for the removal of the known active cases from the
main buildings. During the year no inconsiderable amount
of time has been spent by the physicians in charge of this

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

department in the routine examination of the old patients
for the purpose of reducing the morbidity and mortality of
tuberculosis. Some of the wards in this department are overcrowded by 130 per cent. This, together with the natural
predisposition of the colored race to the disease, makes an
ideal situation for its development.
The treatment of paresis by the inoculation of such
patients with malaria was tried out during the year. This
work was done jointly by Dr. Carr of the Rockefeller Commission for the study of malaria and two members of the
regular staff, Drs. Yarbrough and Oden. The results were
very disappointing. A total of 55 patients were inoculated
with the blood of malarial carriers. Twenty-one were whites
and 34 were colored. All of the whites were "takes" and
showed more or less satisfactory rises in temperature. One
of these died within the year and one went out on furlough
as not improved, the others remaining in the institution at
the end of the year. Thirty-four negroes were inoculated in
the same way as the whites. Seventeen of these showed no
signs of malaria, either serologically or clinically. The remaining 17 showed malarial parasites in the blood, but only
3 had more than a negligible amount of fever. Only one of
the colored patients showed any marked improvement.
It seems of more than passing significance that the colored race appears to be so much less susceptible to inoculation with malaria than the whites, when we consider the
fulminating character of paresis in the former race. In the
years 1920-1922, inclusive, 59 white and 120 colored paretics
were admitted. At this time (February, 1926) 13.5 per cent,
of the white and 4.1 per cent, of the colored patients are still
in the institution; 13.5 per cent, of the whites and 5.8 per
cent, of the colored patients have been discharged; 72.8 per
cent, of the whites and 90 per cent, of the colored patients
have died within the institution. The average length of life
of the whites who died in the institution was 441 days; for
the colored it was 183 days. As may be readily conceived,
there might have been a difference in duration before admission.
Our pathologist and his assistants have spent, their
usual busy year in the laboratory. A total of 7,786 specimens
were examined during the year. The routine procedures as

24

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

practiced in the laboratories are set forth in Dr. Saye 's report
and contain much that is instructive as well as of interest.
The recommendation for the establishment of ward
laboratories, if carried out, would relieve the main laboratory
of a mass of routine work and leave the pathologist free to
devote more time to research, a thing very much to be desired.
When the additional story is added this will further facilitate the laboratory work. As it is now, too much time is consumed in the routine common to any clinical laboratory and
not enough to the furtherance of our knowledge of mental
diseases.
Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler have continued their valuable work in pellagra and have robbed this disease of much
of its mystery, of many of its terrors.
Our training school under the efficient management of
Mrs. Jones has continued to do the good work of former
years and needs no comment for those who are acquainted
with its good standing.
In October and November a course of instruction was
given the new attendants. This consisted of recitations and
quizzes from a pamplet prepared for the purpose. This pamphlet has been twice revised, and is still far from satisfactory.
It is expected that this course will be repeated in May and
October in the coming year. The publication of the Bulletin
has been continued as stimulant to interest.
Following the death of Miss Amy Oxford, Miss Brown
took charge of the Occupation Department in the female
service. She has proven herself efficient and capable. This
department is still badly cramped for the lack of facilitiesmore especially a suitable building. In the white male department better progress has been made because of better arrangements. During the coming year more shop space and equipment will be added, thus avoiding the necessity of calling on
the regular institutional shop for help. We have on the
premises an abundance of good clay, and the development of
pottery-making and allied work, would open a new and most
interesting field for occupation for both males and females.
I believe that good nursing aided materially in the recovery rate for the past year, but there is much room for improvement, Some of the most gratifying work done in the

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

25

whole institution has been in the line of habit training. The
response of cases of dementia praecox of long standing has
been surprising, as well as pleasing. Not a great many cases
have been tried systematically, but in not a single instance
has there been a complete failure.
The clinic in Macon continues with good attendance and
good results. The establishment of the clinic at Elberton has
afforded further needs for mental hygiene. Such work proves
of value not only to the community, but to the physician
who conducts it.
The added equipment and improvement to our X-ray
outfit has added materially to its efficiency. Bight hundred
and five pictures were made, fifty-three fluroscopic examinations were made and 50 treatments were given.
I wish to thank you and the Board for generous aid to
the medical service.
Aknowledgment is here made for assistance and aid rendered by other departments.
I am particularly grateful for the co-operation of the
staff and nursing service.
Respectfully submitted,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

Ward Laboratories
The purpose of a pathological laboratory in a state hospital is twofold—to make the numerous and varying kinds
of examinations that the scientific practice of medicine demands, and to endeavor, through investigation, to enlarge the
boundaries of knowledge concerning nervous and mental
diseases. At present, my time and that of the technicians
is largely consumed by many procedures which, although
essential to the efficient care of the sick and to modern neuropsychiatric diagnosis, are of minor importance so far as skill
necessary to making them is concerned. These examinations
should not diminish in number. On the other hand, there
should, perhaps, be a larger number done than at present. In
order, therefore, that the laboratory may have more time to
devote to investigative work, while at the same time an increased amount of laboratory service may be made more readily available, I would suggest that you consider the advisability of establishing three ward laboratories—one each for
the white male and white female departments and one for
colored buildings. A period of instruction in the laboratory
should qualify nurses selected for duty in the ward laboratories to do all of the simpler, essentially clinical examinations, such as urinalyses, sputum for tubercle bacilli, and blood
counts.
If the establishment of ward laboratories is believed to be
inexpedient at present, we should, perhaps, begin the training
of an additional assistant in laboratory technique and in embalming.
Building
When the contemplated addition of an upper story to
the present laboratory building is made, our work will be
facilitated. It should provide greater access of daylight and
more freedom from dust. The upper story, suitably divided,
will permit the serological, pathological, bacteriological and
clinical laboratory phases of the work to proceed with less
interruption. The first story will furnish ample room for the
embalming and necropsy work, for the storage of supplies
of the Mortuary Department, and space for a suitable chapel.
Respectfully,
E. B. SAVE,
Pathologist.

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1926.
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

The following is the annual report of the Training School
for Nurses for the year ending December 31st, 1925:
The nurses moved into the beautiful new home, "Brantley Hall," July 11th. It is exceedingly comfortable and well
equipped, giving the nurses every comfort.
The hours of rest and recreation away from the wards
have improved the service and disposition of the nurses very
much.
Every effort has been made to keep the school up to the
highest standard. All classes have been held regularly, and
all instructors have shown marked interest and purpose in
giving the students the very best theoretical course possible.
The annual commencement was held July 15th, at 8 :30
o'clock, in the Amusement Hall.
Miss Jane Van deVrede, Secretary of the Nurse Examining Board of Georgia, gave the class address, which was
much enjoyed by the nurses and the large audience.
Diplomas were awarded to seven graduates by Hon.
John T. Brantley, President of the Board of Trustees, and
the hospital pins by Hon. C. C. Brantley, Secretary of the
Board.
A reception and dance at the nurses' home followed,
music being furnished by the Sanitarium Band.
The following are the names of the nurses receiving diplomas:
Miss Blanche Barker
Miss Love Estelle Kelly
Miss Essie Cummings
Miss Lannie McKinley
Miss Mary Henrietta McDade Miss Ruby Poss
Miss Allene Elizabeth Thompson
The total number of graduates is 120.

The regular course for new attendants was given to a
class of fifty-two by Dr. N. P. Walker in October and November.
I would like to recommend the erection of a hospital
building for the care of all medical and surgical cases of the
institution, with one central operating room, diet kitchen and
laboratory. This would give all sick patients better nursing,
under closer supervision, and the students a wider and a more
varied practical course.
I wish to thank you for your suppport and consideration, and the Medical Staff for lectures and medical services
rendered the students and attendants during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
(Mrs.)

In addition to this work, we have cut about six hundred
(600) cords of stove wood, cleared about thirty (30) acres of
new ground. All the coal from the chutes has been distributed to the buildings and all the cinders hauled away from
the boiler rooms. The entire road system of the institution
has been worked and kept in condition by my department.
We have been doing some grading around the dairy.
We graded and planted bermuda grass around Drs. Bradford and Echol's houses. We also hauled several loads of
sand for the Engineer's Department.
I wish to thank you, the Board of Trustees, the officers
of the institution and others for the gratitude and co-operation shown me and my department throughout the year.

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Engineer
DR.

P. C. SWINT,
Superintendent and Resident Physician.

DEAR SIR:

Please find below the annual report of the Engineer's
Department for the year ending December 31st, 1925:
Improvements
The John T. Brantley Building has been completed. A
complete kitchen has been outfitted in the basement of this
building, with an elevator running to the dining room above.
A trunk storage room has been established in the basement,
and a small laundry, with facilities for electric ironing, has
been outfitted in an adjoining room to the kitchen. Steam for
the kitchen has been brought from the boiler room of the
Powell Buiding. A part of this steam line runs underground
between the buildings. This part of the line was run through
RicWil pipe covering, and is otherwise well insulated.
The electric stoves and ovens used by the Dietitian with
her classes has been removed from the Whittle Building to
the class room in the John T. Brantley Building, set up there
and connected to the electric wiring.
The high water of January left an immense bank of
sand in the river a short distance above the intake well of
our waterworks, and raised the sand in the bed of the river
to such a height that it lacked but a short distance of being
up to the opening in the intake well through which we take
our water. Since the general level of the water in the river
has been raised by the building of a concrete dam across the
river at the power station just below us, it became necessary
to build the walls of the intake well higher, and to place on
the river side a couple of sluice gates for the control of the
level from which the water is taken. A portion of this work
has been done, and we have on hand the sluice gates ready
to be put in just as soon as a period of low water sets in
and the weather gets warm enough to work in the water. A
temporary curbing of wood staves has been placed around
the intake well. This will protect the opening until such
time as we shall be able to get at in the summer.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

75

A doorway has been cut between two rooms in the Male
Convalescent Building, making a couple of offices for the
dentist there. Electric wiring has been done for the several
dental engines in these rooms, and steam and plumbing fixtures installed.
The wooden posts supporting the radiators and the radiator housings in the basement of the Powell Building have
been cut off eight inches above the floor. Brick pillars have
been built in the place in the ends of the posts so removed,
to the end that the rotting of the posts might not throw the
radiators down.
Four hundred and sixty-five squares of flooring have
been laid in the Negro Building.
The power sewing machine table in the white sewing
room has been lengthened by the addition of one section, and
two power sewing machines added to the equipment. Two old
foot power machines, which had been driven by power, have
been discarded, and in their places two new power machines
have been put.
A water heater, left on hand from the changes necessary
for the supply of the John T. Brantley Building, has been
put up in the laundry and connections made with the "West
Detached Building and the nearby T. B. Ward.
A deep well hand pump has been installed in the well
by the dining room at the Colony.
The gas engine driven triplex pump at the Colony waterworks has been overhauled and has had new plungers and
connecting rods put in it.
Much work has been done on the old ice machine from
time to time during the year in patching it up, and in putting
in new parts where absolutely necessary, in order to keep the
old machine going until we could get the new one, for which
we have an appropriation, installed.
The chicken house on the south side of the Twin Building has been remodeled and made rat proof, so far as the
foundations and floor is concerned, by concrete floors and
foundations.
The front porch floor and the steps of the Cabaniss Building, which were of wood, have been replaced with concrete.

76

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Concrete steps have been placed down the terrace in
front of the Whittle and of the Cabaniss Buildings. Each
flight is ten feet wide and consists of fifteen steps.
Two tile silos have been built at the dairy. The site
selected for the silos being on newly made ground, it was
necessary to go seven and a half feet below the dairy floor
before a good foundation could be secured. This excavation
was utilized in making the silos by bringing this part of them
up to the dairy floor level, built of reinforced concrete. The
silos are 20 feet in diameter and 41 feet 6 inches high. The
combined capacity is 600 tons of silage.
Three pavilions have been built in the rear of the Negro
Building. Each building is 131 feet long by 21 feet wide.
Each has a porch 79 feet long by 10% feet wide. They are
nicely constructed of dressed long-leaf yellow pine, and are
painted inside and out. Each building has an open central
section 77y2 feet long. This section, above a height of four
feet above the floor, is open to the weather, except for a line
of sash running three feet above the solid portion of the
wall. These sash can be lowered into pockets when required.
In the ends of the buildings are the service rooms; two toilet
rooms, two nurses' bedrooms, a dining room, a pantry and a
clothes room.
The two older T. B. pavilions just west of the new ones
have had porches built to them similar to those on the new
buildings.
Six bath and six toilet rooms in the Twin Buildings
have had the wooden floors and the lath and plastered partitions taken out and the replacement made with concrete. One
bath tub in each of the six bath rooms has been taken out and
a shower bath put in its place. In each toilet room an enameled iron slop sink has been placed.
All of the return pipes in the back yard of the older part
of the Negro Building have been taken out and new pipes
put in.
One corner of the Negro Building kitchen has been underpinned to prevent the further development of a crack due
to a settlement of the foundation.
Six 36-inch ventilators have been put on the roof over
the dining rooms of the Twin Buildings. Connections have
been made with these to openings in the dining room below.
Twelve new steam radiators have been put in the Green
Building, and twelve in the Negro Building to replace others
which had rusted out.

77

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

A small brick room has been built under the tower shed
for the housing of the series outside light regulating apparatus.
Plans have been made for the construction of a brick
and concrete public comfort station on the lower level of the
lawn in front of the Twin Buildings.
A new transformer has been placed at the Twin Building,
replacing one burnt out by lightning.
Plans have been made for the ice plant to be built and
for the additional cold storage rooms required.
An additional room, with sleeping porch attached, has
been added to one of the cottages.
Two small buildings have been razed from the site of
the ice works, the site graded, the foundations dug out and
filled in with concrete up to the point where the brick walls
start. The foundations for the refrigeration tank have also
been laid.
The building of three six-room cottages, to be occupied
by as many physicians and their families, has been commenced.
The dining room at the Colony and one of the dormitories have been refloored.
The kitchen at the Colony has been refloored with concrete. The floor is drained to a central cesspool and from
there to the sewer, which has been extended some 200 feet
into the adjoining field.
A 56-foot Seagrave extension ladder has been added to
the fire fighting equipment.
The water mains have been extended to afford fire protection to the John T. Brantley Building, and three additional
fire hydrants have been placed around it. These, with the
hydrants already in position near the building, give it all the
protection of this kind needed.
In addition to the ordinary repair work of the institution, the carpenter shop, the furniture and harness repair
shop, the paint shop, broom factory and shoe repair shop
have been kept busy in manufacturing and repairing various
articles used in the different departments.

T. H.

Eighty-Third Annual Report
OP

THE

BOARD OP TRUSTEES OP THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1927.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor.
SIR:

The Board of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium
begs to submit herewith the report required by law to be made
of the conduct and management of this institution. It covers
the year 1926 and is the eighty-third to be so made.
The annual report of the Superintendent and Resident
Physician, supported by those of heads of departments, is
attached hereto and will supply details of the year's work.
The record made is highly creditable and merits for the
Superintendent and his assistants the commendation of the
Board.
The recommendations presented herein are of first importance and should have immediate attention. The cost
involved is large, but no larger than the purpose to be served.
It is not possible to state the needs of so vast and populous
an institution in small sums, especially when some of the
needs have been long neglected. A longer delay in supplying
them will be full of danger.
Population
A gain of 208 in the number of resident patients as noted,
the total number to-day being 4848, with 646 other patients
out on furlough. The daily average number was 4782, an
increase over the preceding year of 191.
Applications for admission totaled 1402, of which 1180
were admitted and 105 denied. Admission was granted 117
who were not presented after being notified.
Financial
The cost of maintenance was $1,119,759.62. The cost for
each patient was $234.16, or $0.6415 per day, which is a little
higher than last year.

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

For the maintenance of the Sanitarium in the next biennial period the careful estimate of the Steward shows that
$2,351,307.00 will be needed.
For the special purposes to be set out in the recommendations referred to, appropriations totaling $1,496,150.00 will
be required.
The Physical Plant
Three frame cottages for officers' use were added in the
year, lumber being had from timber owned by the Sanitarium.
Purchase was made of 322 additional acres of pasture
land for the use of the dairy.
Purchase was also made of an approved type of motor
fire pumper for the further fire protection it affords. It is
now installed and is named "T. H. DeSaussure" in honor of
one of the oldest and most valuable officers of the Sanitarium.
The stand pipe in the rear of the Powell Building is now
so old as to be beyond repair and must be razed. It is necessary to replace it with one of larger size and higher elevation.
Careful study should be given to the removal to one central location of the many steam heating plants now in use,
through which a more economical service can be had. With
it should go the woodshop in the rear of the Powell Building
in the interest of neatness of the grounds and to remove a
dangerous fire hazard. The consolidation should include a
steam driven electric power and light plant, so designed as
to make use of the exhaust steam for heating the buildings.
The cost of this improvement will be heavy and in the face
of greater and more urgent needs no recommendation is yet
made that it be provided.
Legal Amendments Needed
The Board calls attention to its inability to enforce the
law governing admissions as found in Michie's compiliation
of the Code, "Guardians and Wards," Chapter 3, Article 2,
Section 3102, because of the confusion therein. It should be
clarified or repealed. It seeks to create pay and pauper patients, the last being those who are possessed of estates valued
under $3,000. It provides no method of valuing such estates,

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

nor for the collection and payment to the Sanitarium of its
"reasonable charge for board and keep." It makes no provision for those inmates who shall have their estate exhausted,
lost or stolen, or which shall fail to produce a sufficient income for their support. It is not retroactive and applies to
new admissions only. The Board would suggest that the State
must of necessity place under custodial care its insane citizens
regardless of their possession. If they are possessed of property it is already taxed for the support of the Sanitarium.
It is conceivable there may be those of means whose family
or kindred will refuse to apply for commitment because of
the expense involved. In the opinion of the Board the interests of society are best served by making the Sanitarium
free to the citizens of the State. It is obvious a patient cannot and ought not to be discharged before restoration simply
because of the failure of estate or income therefrom. Internally the effect of this law, could it be enforced, on the
patients will be most unhappy because of the distinction
drawn among themselves between those who pay and those
who are paupers. There is perhaps one exception which can
be made, and this in cases where an estate is had with no
family or near dependent kindred. In such cases it would
seem proper the law shall vest such estate in the Board of
Trustees for the use and support of the patient, it being provided that on his discharge the residue of such estate shall
be returned to him, or that at his death it shall become the
property of the Sanitarium. In such eases the Sanitarium
takes the place of family and kindred.
If the burden of properly supporting the Sanitarium is
become too great for the State to carry alone consideration
might be given pro-rating the cost between the State and the
counties on some fair and equitable basis.
This law also attempts to define the classes who shall or
shall not be admitted, but it lacks clearness.
For these and other reasons the Board recommends the
repeal of this law, and the enactment of the following:
SANITARIUM FREE TO WHOM: The said Sanitarium shall be free to all bona fide citizens of the State
who may be insane or afflicted with mental disease. No
paralytic invalid, epileptic, idiot, imbecile, drug addict
or alcoholic addict who is not insane shall be committed
or admitted to it.

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

The history which must accompany all applications
for admission to the said Sanitarium shall contain adequate and just reasons why such admission should be had,
and if such reasons are not given, the Superintendent
may refuse admission.
If the family or friends of any person who shall be
committed and admitted to the said Sanitarium shall
desire to furnish clothing, extra food or other comforts,
they may be allowed to do so at their own cost under such
rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Board
of Trustees.
If any person who is committed and admitted to the
said Sanitarium shall be possessed of an estate and shall
be without family or near dependent relatives, such estate
shall vest in the Board of Trustees of the Sanitarium to
be expended for his use and support, it being provided
that in the event of his discharge any residue remaining
of such estate shall be put into his possession, or that in
the event of the death of such inmate his estate shall then
become the property of the Sanitarium.
Recommendation is also made that the examination now
required to be made by the Board of applicants for the place
of assistant physician be repealed. The license of the State
should be quite sufficient provided the other qualifications are
had.
Recommendation is also made that the name of the
Sanitarium be changed to "Georgia State Hospital," the better to indicate its field and to avoid the confusion arising from
the similarity in names with another State institution.
Death of Trustee Rawlings
The Board records with deep regret the death of one of
its members, Dr. William Rawlings, which occurred at his
home in Sandersville on August 1, 1926. He brought to its
sessions the experience of a successful man of large affairs,
an expert knowledge of medical and hospital matters, a sane
and sound judgment and an understanding sympathy which
made him a most useful member. These qualities together
with his unfailing courtesy, fine mind and warm heart greatly
endeared him to his colleagues.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

General
A fire which occurred during the year in one of the
main buildings, fortunately in the day time, was extinguished
after a hard fight without loss of life or limb, and without
serious property damage. Grateful acknowledgement is now
made the cities of Milledgeville and Macon for the immediate response of their fire departments to a call for their help
at a moment when a general conflagration seemed inevitable.
The Sanitarium fire department was of invaluable help in getting the fire under control. Through the calmness and good
judgment of officers, nurses and other employes the inmates
of the building were moved to safety.
No clue has yet been had leading to the murderer or
murderers of the negro patient who was forcibly removed
at night from one of the buildings in September, 1925, and
murdered. This shocking crime is therefore unpunished. The
reward offered by the Board for information still stands.
First Recommendation
The situation of the Sanitarium in respect of room is exceedingly critical and speedy relief must be given it. A careful
survey of the present buildings which has just been made
shows that they can safely and comfortably accommodate but
3607 patients. This estimate is based on 1,000 cubic feet of
space allowed for each patient in ceiled rooms and dormitories
and 100 square feet of floor space in those unceiled. These
buildings contain to-day 4848 patients, or 1241 in excess of
their intended capacity. By departments the situation is as
follows:
White male
White female
Colored male

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

The congestion is worst in the colored female department, but exists in lesser degree in all. Patients can now
be accommodated only by putting two or more in small rooms
intended but for one and by crowding the dormitories. The
risk of physical injury to the patients among themselves is
thus very greatly aggravated, while bad hygienic and sanitary conditions are unavoidable. Lack of room to isolate all
patients having communicable diseases is responsible for the
mounting death rate reported from tuberculosis, while the
control of an outbreak of contagious sickness is for this reason made all but impossible. The added danger in case of fire is
a constant nightmare to those responsible for the safety of the
inmates. The steady growth in population adds to the gravity of this situation. The gain last year was 208 and for
ten years 1078 patients. None but recent or acute cases and
cases found to be dangerous are now admitted.
The impression prevails with the uninformed that more
room could be had by discharging many of the patients and
that they ought to be so discharged. The facts are that every
patient in the Sanitarium has been legally adjudged entitled
to admission and there are none whose discharge before recovery would not do violence to common humanity. It is the
duty of the Superintendent under the law to discharge any
found not to be insane or who are restored to mental health
and this duty is scrupulously, promptly and gladly observed.
It is very plain that unless more room is speedily had,
further admissions must of necessity be limited to vacancies
had through discharge and death. The Board would point
out that the effect of such an order will be pitiful in the
extreme. No one will deny to these stricken, dependent and
helpless beings a first claim on the generosity of the State.
Two ways of supplying additional room are possible
and both are here presented.
1. The first assumes that the Sanitarium is to continue
to receive both races, as now. In this event it will be necessary to supply it with four new buildings for patients, one
for each sex of each race. They must be sufficiently large
to take care of the present overpopulation and still have some
room left for the future. Their cost, if of brick and wood construction, is estimated at $175,000 each, or $700,000 for the
four. If of fireproof construction, as they should be by all
means, 15% or $105,000 must be added to this estimate.
Warning is given that these buildings, together with a hospi-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

11

tal building recommended elsewhere, are had and occupied,
the Sanitarium will have reached the maximum population
it can safely be allowed to attain. It is now one of the largest hospitals for the insane in the United States and its successful management becomes an increasingly difficult matter. The time is at hand when the State must plan for the
founding of a second hospital.
2. The alternative is to found such second hospital at
once to care for the negro race, to which shall be transferred
the 1665 patients of this race now in the Sanitarium. When
this is done the buildings once occupied by them can be renovated and made ready for white patients. If this plan be
adopted, and there are sound reasons to commend it, the
necessity for the four new buildings for patients will be
removed. With the renovation of the negro buildings must
come a general renovation of all the other buildings housing
patients, all of which are old and greatly in need of major
repairs, for which the funds at the disposal of the Board have
never been adequate. New floors, walls and ceilings, new
paint, new plumbing, etc., are items of cost which will be
incurred and which are difficult to estimate with accuracy.
The Board would suggest that $1,000,000.00 as the minimum initial appropriation to be made for the founding of
this second hospital, to be made available in one or two
years, it being assumed that use can be made of lands already
owned by the State.
For defraying the cost of renovating the negro buildings
and for putting all the buildings in first-class repair, a work
never before attempted, the Board estimates $200,000 will be
required.
Second Recommendation
An ample supply of pure drinking water is vital and
means to this end must be carefully safeguarded. The present water plant is twenty years old and is at the maximum
of its present capacity. Its age and increasing demand on
it makes an enlargement imperative as a measure of safety.
Two additional settling basins, one additional filter and a second electric pump are required. A steel stand pipe of 150,000
gallons capacity on the Sanitarium grounds to replace the old
now to be razed is also required. It is necessary to duplicate the single 12-inch main through which the Sanitarium
is reached and which is about four miles in length. This sin-

12

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

gle main is now under heavy constant pressure to keep the
Sanitarium supplied and a fracture is thus made possible
at any time and without warning. It passes through an intervening creek which at flood widen out two and three miles.
If a fracture should occur at such a time and place a repair
would be impossible and the Sanitarium would quickly become helpless. A second main is therefore a most important
protection and will serve to reduce the pumping cost because
of the following reduction in friction. The cost of these additions, including housing and all minor parts, will be as follows:
Basins and Filter
Duplicate electric pump
Duplicate water main
Stand pipe complete
Total

$22,800.00'
2,650.00'
39,200.00
15,000.00
$79,650.00

Third Recommendation

The work of the medical department continues to be of
high order and should be given strong support. Its record is
the more remarkable when the heavy handicaps under which
it labors are remembered. Its greatest need is for a commodious general hospital in which to gather all cases offering hope, under proper treatment, of cure, and the physically
ill. At present both these classes are found in the several
reception, and hospital wards throughout the institution.
Many advantages are to be had from grouping them under
one roof, apart from its convenience. Among the most important is that it will separate the curable cases of insanity
from the incurables. The association which is now unavoidable serves to intensify an already abnormal mental depression and greatly retards, if it does not render impossible, successful treatment. It will enable better care of the physically
ill. It is proposed to place this hospital in attractive surroundings and to make it within and without as cheerful as
possible. When fully equipped with whatever may be needed
for its dual purpose it will be of substantial help to the medical department. It must be large enough for both races and
its cost cannot be less than $250,000. To make it fireproof
this estimate must be increased 15%, or $37,500.00. Against
this cost should be set its possible contribution to the sum
of human happiness had through every patient restored to
mental health. Every patient so restored ceases to be a bur-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

13

den and becomes a helpful unit of society. Every unrestored
patient remains a charge upon the State for life. The investment is therefore economically sound.
Fourth Recommendation
The present amusement hall is no longer large enough
for its purpose. It was built many years ago when the population was very much smaller than now. In it the usual religious services are held, moving pictures exhibited, dances
had, etc. It is a valuable help to the medical department
through the pleasure and diversion afforded therein to the
convalescent patients and it should be sufficiently large for
their gatherings. It is an investment in happiness from
which good returns may be expected and its cost is estimated
at $50,000. The abandonment of the old one will occasion no
loss since it is so situated as to be readily converted into
rooms or dormitories for the patients.
Fifth Recommendation
The Sanitarium buildings are of brick and wood with tin
roofs and fire risk is ever present. Inside enclosed stairways
of wood conveniently placed are relied on for the protection
of the inmates against fire. The system is not perfect, but
has thus far served. Outside ladder escapes would be as
dangerous to the inmates as fire, while the value of tube
escapes for insane persons is at least problematical. In lieu
of these for which many recommendations have been made in
the past, the Board recommends as an alternative the installation in all the main buildings housing patients and in the store
room, of a system of automatic fire sprinklers.
The cost of such installations, including a required stand
pipe of 100,000 gallons capacity to serve for this purpose
alone, is estimated at $230,000. These installations will not
only provide far greater security for the inmates, but will
result in a greatly lowered insurance rate on these particular buildings.
Sixth Recommendation
In the eighty-three years of its existence the Sanitarium
has never had a residence for its Superintendent, and this
want should be supplied. The pressing need for more office
room, for which his present quarters are admirably adapted,
makes the present an opportune time. A very appropriate
site on the grounds is reserved for it. He is the host of the

14

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

institution and his residence should be ample in size for the
hospitality he must dispense. By the erection of such residence and by the conversion of his present quarters into
offices, it will no doubt be possible to provide much needed
room in the storehouse through the removal of the Steward's
office now located in it and thus obviate the necessity for the
appropriation recommended herein for this purpose. A suitable residence can be built at a cost estimated at $25,000.
Seventh Recommendation
It is now become necessary to add a second floor to the
storehouse in order to accommodate the growing quantity of
supplies needed to be carried in stock, the cost of which
is estimated at $10,000.
Eighth Recommendation
The medical department asks for a commodious onestory building in which can be housed the vocational therapy
activities of the white female patients which because of
weather conditions must be had indoors. At present use is
had of some of the day rooms for this purpose, thus diverting them from the use for which they are intended. They do
not give room for enlargement, hence the request for a
suitable building. Such good results have followed the introduction of this form of treatment that its wider use is highly
desirable. The cost of such building as is wanted will be
$9,000.
Summary of Special Appropriations
The special appropriations sought herein are summarized as follows:
For four buildings for patients made fireproof-_$ 805,000.00
For hospital building made fireproof
287,500.00
For additions to water works, including duplicate main, stand pipe, etc.
79,650.00
For amusement hall
50,000.00
For vocational therapy building
9,000.00
For Superintendent's residence
25,000.00
For enlargement of storehouse
10,000.00
For automatic fire sprinklers
230,000.00
Total

$1,496,150.00

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

If a second hospital for negroes is founded the first item
in this summary should be omitted, and for it should be substituted $200,000 for the complete renovation of all the buildings.
In Conclusion
The Board is grateful to Your Excellency for the support given it in the discharge of its duties. It is not unmindful of the growing weight of such duties, but none the less
it has been a joy and privilege to assume them. The Superintendent has not lacked sympathetic and helpful support in
his work for the happiness and well being of the inmates, nor
have the interests of the State been allowed to suffer. If its
acts shall have your approval it will be sufficiently rewarded.
By order of the Board of Trustees.

MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1927.

The Hon. Board of Trustees,
Georgia State Sanitarium,

A study of the above statistics show that the total first
admissions were the same as previous year, with a decrease
of 44 in number of males and increase of 44 in the number
of females.
The total readmissions were increased 5 compared to the
previous year, with a decrease of 19 males and an increase
of 24 females.
Notwithstanding our constant effort to limit admissions
to urgent type of applicants on account of the already greatly
over-crowded condition of the Institution, there were 1,180
total admissions, or an increase of 5 compared to the previous
year.
There were a total of 572 discharged during the year;
that is, patients who were furloughed and remained out over
12 months, the furlough period fixed by law, except 4 males
and 9 females who did not manifest any symptoms of mental
disorder, and were discharged as without psychosis (not insane).
The policy we adopted some years ago of furloughing all
cases except the not insane, is a good one, as our experience
has taught us that some patients, while clinically restored
and have apparent normal behavior for quite a period while
living the routine of institutional life, soon have a recurrence
of their abnormal mental symptoms soon after they return to
their old environment. If they are on furlough they may be
returned to the Sanitarium without the ordeal and expense
of a new commitment.

18

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

The advancement in psychiatric knowledge indicates
that this problem, of recurrence as well as the cause of the
original onset of mental disorder, is a very complex affair,
involving more than the aged formulation of "Sound mind
in a sound body." In the solution of the problem we find
that it involves not merely a section of one's life, but all the
forces which operate to make that life what it is.
Based on the number of admissions, the discharges during the year were 38.6% as recovered or improved compared
to 35.5% the previous year. The daily average under treatment was 191 greater, and there were 36 more deaths than
the previous year.
Overcrowding continues our most pressing problem, and
one of our greatest handicaps to treatment. We had a daily
average overcrowding of 1,185. "We began the year with an
actual resident population of 4,640, and closed with 4,848, a
net increase of 208, or 1,241 overcrowded. Notwithstanding
the overcrowded handicap we furloughed 819 patients during
the year, and of this number 613 were restored or improved.
Based on the total admissions this is 51.9% compared to 56%
the previous year.
It might be of interest to note that the females show a
greater growth than males in resident patient population. The
year's 208 increase in population were as follows: White
males, 17; white females, 98; colored males, 24, and colored
females, 69.
Allowing one patient to a room—to each patient in
ceiled dormitories 1,000 cubic feet of space, and in unceiled
dormitories in the open unceiled wooden structures 100
square feet each, the institution has a normal capacity of
3,607 patients.
The following tabulation gives normal capacity of patients and overcrowding in each department:

We have been estimating our normal capacity at 3,900
based on old estimate made several years ago, but during
the year a new estimate of the different buildings and wards
was made with allowance given above, and we find that our
actual normal capacity is nearly 300 patients less.
The above figures show that at the end of the year the
Sanitarium is 1,241 patients overcrowded as follows:

White Male Department,

Therefore, it is clearly seen that the present capacity of
the institution is greatly overtaxed, and its overcrowded condition is unhygienic, hazardous, and a great handicap to
treatment, and especially is this true in the Colored Female,
Colored Male and White Female Departments.
If some relief for this condition of affairs is not soon
obtained, such overcrowding is likely to result in a great
increase in the incidence of tuberculosis among the patient
population, as well as other calamities.
Medical Service
During the year Drs. Wm. F. Dobyns, A. H. Fowler, C.
B. Kennedy and J. T. Stephenson were appointed internes.
Drs. Dobyns and Fowler had just completed interneship at
University Hospital at Augusta, Ga. Dr. Stephenson came
to us from U. S. Veterans Hospital, Augusta. Also Dr. J. W.
Mobley, who was formerly First Assistant Physician and
resigned a few years ago on account of ill health, having regained his health, was elected Assistant Physician.
Drs. Joseph Goldberger and G. A. Wheeler of the U. S.
Public Health Service continued throughout the year their
research study of pellagra.
The Psychiatric Clinics at Macon and Elberton were
kept up during the year. A member of the Staff went to
Macon weekly to conduct the former, and another member
to Elberton monthly, except during the summer vacation
period of the Elberton School.

20

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

During the Summer there developed 23 cases of smallpox among the colored female population, but prompt isolation and vaccination prevented its spread and further development. No other epidemic of illness of any consequence
occurred during the year.
Occupation Therapy has proven of value as an aid in
the treatment of mental disease, and we continued this feature
of treatment throughout the year, and I think we are gradually making some progress. Individual attention to a population as large as the Sanitarium's is a tremendous problem,
and the limited means at our disposal rather limits the scope
of activity in this department. Some increased interest and
attention were given to habit training in chronic cases.
Also during the year we begun the construction of an
additional wood work shop at white male occupation park.
This building is being constructed and equipped with funds
earned in this department. In this connection I will state
that under the direction of Supervisor Roberts of the "White
Male Department over 21,000' pounds of tomatoes were grown
and gathered by patients from about IV2 acres of land.
A general review of the year's medical work with statistical tables will be found in report of Clinical Director.
Dental Department
Two full time dentists are employed to render dental
service for the institution. Each has a well equipped office—
one in the female department doing dental work for the
female population, and one in the male department rendering
dental service for the male population. The amount and
character of work done by them during the year is given
in their report.
Training School for Nurses
Our Training School for Nurses has been in active operation during the past 15 years, and during this period have
graduated 129 nurses, many of them now holding responsible
positions in various parts of the country. During the past
year we received a certificate from the American Psychiatric
Association certifying that our Training School had complied
with the standards established by the Association for school
of nursing in mental hospitals, and had been placed on the
accredited list. This is quite a compliment.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

21

During the past year the school was kept at its previous
standard, and we regard its usefulness to the institution as
indispensable.
Engineering Department
The report of the Engineer gives a detailed account of
the improvements and repairs during the year.
The new ice plant and cold storage was built and the
old cold storage rooms rebuilt, and new coils built in them.
Before we can say that this plant is completed we hope to
build a tile lined milk and butter room, and to install an
equipment for pastuerizing all milk before issuing.
During the year representatives of the Underwriters
Association made a survey of the institution with reference to
fire hazards and our fire fighting equipment. Their recommendations were adopted with some exceptions and are being
carried out. Our maintenance fund is not adequate to install
the equipment and put into effect all the items they recommended. However, a thousand gallon a minute LaFrance automobile pumper was bought at a cost of $13,000.00 to supplement our steam pump, and this equipment with additional
new hose, etc., gives us the feeling that we are better prepared to fight fire in case of need.
The completion of three officers' cottages from timber
sawed on Sanitarium grounds were items badly needed. They
are the best and most comfortable cottages ever constructed
on the Sanitarium premises Also hope to have the detached
white male infirm ward completed to accommodate about 60
patients within a few days.
Notwithstanding the employment of several extra day
carpenters and other laborers in this department throughout
the year, many needed repairs on many of the buildings had
to remain for future attention. Most of our buildings are
old, and the repair upkeep is necessarily great.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives an account of receipts and
disbursements of monies made during the year. The per
capita cost for the year was $234.16 compared to $229.14 the
previous year. Daily cost was 64.15 cents compared to 62.77
cents the previous year.

22

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

Total expenditure for maintenance, including every item
of cost connected with hospitalization of patients, $1,119,759.62 compared with $1,052,016.12 the previous year.
A comparative statement of the cash expenditures for
the year and that of the previous year will be found in Exhibit Nos. 7-8 of the Steward's report.
The building of three officers' cottages and a frame building for white male infirm ward to accommodate about 60 patients, the purchase of automobile fire pump, and 322.63
acres of land added several thousand dollars to our total
operating expenses, and while these items are rather capital
investments, they were badly needed, and adds materially to
the Sanitarium equipment.
Farm Steward's Department
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of vegetables and other foodstuffs produced in this department during the year.
The farm and garden productions were increased compared to 'the previous year. The farm at the Colony was the
most successful we have had there. The 150 to 160 colored
male patients kept there are as a rule healthy, and seem to
enjoy the outdoor work.
Fifteen thousand, four hundred and two bushels of corn
was produced compared to 9,776 bushels the previous year.
We should be able to grind nearly enough meal to supply us
the coming year. We also had a good oats and vetch crop.
Threshed out 1,556 bushels of oats, and made 437 tons of
oat and vetch hay. Also gathered 4,423 bushels of field peas.
Killed 70,678 pounds pork compared to 42,366 pounds the
previous year.
The dairy productions also were increased—99,784 gallons milk compared to 80,688 gallons the previous year.
Additional Needed Equipment
1. To provide for 1,241 patients now in the Sanitarium
overcrowding its normal capacity, and to provide room for
future growth at a rate of at least 200 annually, and to increase the efficiency of the medical service by furnishing better
environment and equipment for the unfortunate charges com-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

mitted to our care, a group of five buildings is now badly
needed, viz: one hospital building and four other general
ward buildings. Estimated cost to build and furnish, $950,000.
Georgia's mental disease problem has greatly outgrown
the present capacity- of the Sanitarium, and looking to the
future I think it would be wise to begin immediately the
construction of another state hospital in some other section
of the State, as the above additions would soon prove inadequate at the present rate of growth.
2.

A central heating and power plant.

We now have seven separate boiler rooms, and it requires
seven firemen to keep them going, and an additional seven
at night in very cold weather. Our light and electric power
cost us $16,973.32 for the past year as furnished by the Milledgeville Electric Lighting Co. The present service rendered
by this Company is rather unsatisfactory due to so many interferences with current since they have begun to transmit it
from distant points. If we owned our own power plant in
connection with a central heating station it would be more
satisfactory and more economical than our present equipment.
Estimated cost, $300,000.00.
3. The present amusement hall built more than 40 years
ago has been greatly outgrown by the Sanitarium, and a larger
amusement hall is badly needed to accommodate a greater
number of patients who may be able to attend the various
types of amusement provided there from time to time. This
building should be of fire resistant construction at an estimated cost of $50,000.00.
4. The present capacity of the storehouse is too small to
provide storage for supplies for the increased growth of the
institution. I therefore recommend that an additional story
be added to the storehouse, and a modern electric elevator installed. Estimated cost, $10,000.00.
5. The principal buildings occupied by patients are old
and are three stories high. They are not of fire resistant
construction, and as a safeguard to the unfortunates locked
therein should be provided with fire escapes. Estimated cost
to provide a sufficient number of the approved type, $25,000.00.

24

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

6. The daily consumption of water by the institution
is now nearly equal to the daily capacity of the plant. Basin
sedimentation capacity as well as filtration capacity should
be increased. The Sanitarium water supply plant has been
in operation about 20 years, and the population has increased
from 3,018 to 4,848; also a duplicate water main from pumping station to Sanitarium should be provided. The single
main now in use has been in continuous service for 20 years,
and some of the piping of the main is more than 30 years
old, as it was transferred from old water supply when this
main was constructed 20 years ago; therefore, it may likely
break at any time under continuous pressure and service.
Estimated cost for enlarging plant, $20,000.00, and material
for main, $44,000,000. Total, $64,000.00.
7. The present 40,000 gallon water tank on tower at
Sanitarium is beginning to leak. It was built in 1876—more
than 50 years of continuous service. The capacity of this is
too small, and should be replaced with a higher tower and
tank of 150,000 gallon capacity. Estimated cost of tank,
tower and pumping equipment, $14,000.00.
New Legislative Matters
I respectfully call your attention to the following legislative matters that I think important for the welfare of the
Sanitarium.
1. Section 3, pages 163-4, Acts of 1918, should be revised so as to define more clearly its meaning, and eliminating
its pay feature. It should more clearly define the type of
eases that should be committed and admitted to the Sanitarium.
2. The law requiring physicians to stand a competitive
examination for election to medical staff should be repealed,
as this law was enacted years before the State Board of
Medical Examiners was created.
3. A law should be enacted empowering the Superintendent of the Sanitarium to deputize as many police officers as may be required to prevent trespassing, keep peace
and order on the Sanitarium premises.

Religious Services
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon by
the regular Chaplain. The same policy obtains as in former
year of rotating this service to the different Protestant pastors of the Milledgeville churches. During the past year the
pastor of the Presbyterian Church was Chaplain, and he
also conducted the funerals of unclaimed remains of white
patients who were interred in the Sanitarium cemetery.
The Catholic priest of Milledgeville also looked after the
religious requirements of the members of the Catholic Church.
Services and burials in the colored department were conducted by our Chaplain in that department.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I wish to express my feeling of gratitude
to the members of the Board of Trustees for their wise counsel, constant interest and co-operation for the welfare of the
institution. I also wish to express my appreciation of the cooperation and faithful services rendered by the Medical Staff,
other officers and employes who share greatly the credit for
the success of carrying on the work throughout the year.
I also wish to thank the Womens' Clubs, Knights of Columbus, and others who were so thoughtful with gifts to patients during Xmas season.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent, Etc.

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Medical Department
JANUARY
DR.

R. C.

1, 1927.

SWINT,

Superintendent.
DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report, of the Medical
Department for the year 1926:
Eleven hundred and eighty (1,180) patients were admitted during the year. Of these 954 were first admissions and
226 were re-admissions. Of the latter 43 were first admitted
to other institutions either public or private.
In the case of twelve (12) patients a diagnosis of not
insane was made. Four (4) of these gave a history of alcoholism, two (2) were mentally deficient, five (5) were drug
addicts and one (1) had committed homicide. It must be borne
in mind that in some instances it is almost impossible to obtain information about patients, but this source of error has
been eliminated as far as possible.
Eight hundred and nineteen (819) patients went out on
furlough. Of this number 613 had been either restored or
had improved. This gives a recovery rate of 51.1 per cent,
as against 57 per cent, for the year 1925. The patients received in 1926 were of about the same general character as
those received in 1925.
There were 432 deaths during the year, which gives a
death rate of 7.4% as against 7% for the previous year. Arteriosclerosis with complications (hemorrhage) was the leading cause. Tuberculosis, general paralysis and broncho pneumonia were the other leading causes in the order named. One
hundred and sixty-six (166) patients died within six months
after admission and of these fifty-five (55) died within one
month after admission. This serves to show the physical condition of many of the patients at the time of admission. One
patient admitted had malaria and died from this cause two
days after he came. The actual number of deaths from tuberculosis was 40% higher than it was in 1925. The increase

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

27

in actual number of deaths consisted of four in the white department and twenty-two in the colored.
The wards are becoming more and more overcrowded.
This is unhygienic, dangerous and interferes with treatment.
The overcrowding for each department is as follows: White
male, 187o (this will be less when the new frame building
is occupied) ; white female, 32% ; colored male, 37% ; colored
female, 70%. In the later department single rooms to the
number of 100 are occupied by two patients. Such rooms are
scarcely large enough for one. It seems rather remarkable
that more patients are not injured by other patients under
the circumstances. The death rate from tuberculosis is mounting, as is to be expected. This is especially true in the colored department, where the over-crowding is most marked.
We have 1,200 patients above our capacity.
Somewhat more attention has been paid to habit training
and the results have been quite satisfactory. As a result there
has been increased tidiness among the patients and the work
is of considerable economic importance. The efforts in this
line have been carried on almost altogether among the cases
of demeitia praecox of long standing. We have good reasons
to continue and increase the work along these lines.
In the latter part of the year some preliminary efforts
were made in treating paresis by the administration of foreign proteids. The results up to this time have been unsatisfactory. Typhoid vaccine has been used, being given intravenously, doses varying from 50 million up to 16 billion
have been given, but the reactions have been quite variable
and we have not yet determined any uniformity of dosage.
Fleischman Company furnished 200 pounds of yeast,
which was used during the year in treating pellagra. A more
detailed report of the results of its use is expected to be
made at another time and place. The results have tended
to confirm the observation made last year as to its value.
Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler have continued their work
with pellagra and have lent their assistance whenever requested.
Attention is called to the report of the pathologist. The
mere fact that 8,455 examinations were made in the laboratory does not convey an accurate idea of the time and work
required. The collection of specimens alone is time consuming, since the wards are so widely separated. It will be seen

28

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

also that there has been great variety in the character of the
work. It will be seen from the report that the Wassermann
test was positive in 10.9 per cent, of the newly admitted cases,
as against 13.8 per cent, for the ten-year period. The incidence of positive spinal fluids for the year was 7.1 per cent.,
as against 6.3 per cent, for the ten-year period. Co-operation
of the pathologist and his assistants has been ideal and the
aid given by them in the general medical work of the institution has been invaluable.
The weekly clinic held in Macon is now in its eighth
year. During the year of 1926, 130 new patients visited this
clinic. The number of visits totaled 430. This includes 30
visits made to patients who were not able to reach headquarters. The City of Macon furnishes a part time nurse who is
of much assistance. This nurse made 54 visits to patients
in their homes. Very satisfactory quarters are now furnished
at the City Hospital and the amount and character of the
work done has more than fulfilled our expectations. Children
make up a considerable proportion of the patients seen. It
might be added that the knowledge of the clinic has gradually
spread—largely through patients—and many come from the
surrounding towns and counties.
Clinics for school children have continued to be held at
Elberton with satisfactory results. There is one other feature
of this work that has been stressed before and that is, it gives
the physician an opportunity to see mental diseases in the
making, so to speak.
The training school for nurses has continued to function
as in former years and has fulfilled its place of usefulness in
the institution.
I wish to thank you and the Board for the generous additions to the medical equipment and for the encouragement
given.
I am glad to acknowledge an indebtedness to the medical
service as a whole for the efforts made to improved the condition of patients.
Respectfully,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

Note—The term "Positive" denotes the occurrence of a
positive Wassermann reaction upon the cerebrospinal fluid,
and usually also other serological indications of neurosyphillis
as well.
Reference to Tables I and II will show that 33.3 per cent,
of the white women, 77.8 per cent, of the white men, 31.1 per
cent, of the colored women, and 65.9 per cent, of the colored
men, whose blood reacted positively to the Wassermann test
upon admission also gave serological evidence of sypillis of
the nervous system.
From an analysis of our serological findings for the 10year period, 1916-1925, certain outstanding facts appear which
would seem to be of sufficient general interest to warrant
their publication. During this period there were made 10,881
routine Wassermann tests upon the blood serums of newlyadmitted patients. Of this number, 1,506, or 13.8 per cent,
gave 4-plus reactions, and serological evidence of syphilis of
the nervous system occured in 695, or 6.3 per cent. Exclusive
of the neurosyphilitic group, positive Wassermann reactions
were obtained in 8 per cent, of patients. This does not imply
that syphilis is an important factor in the genesis of psychoses
other than frankly neurosyphilitic ones. The fact that there
is a somewhat constant percentage of syphilis in all of the
various non-syphilitic psychoses suggests that this proportion
of syphilis is incidental rather than causative. Perhaps it
may reflect to some extent the prevalence of syphilis
in the adult general population of the state. Tf we
assume that 3 per cent, of all syphilitics develop neurosyphilis,
and that no neurosyphilitics fail to arrive eventually at the
Sanitarium, then there must be at least 2,500 new cases of
syphilis in Georgia annually, since there are admitted here
yearly 75 paretics and cerebral syphilitics. The incidence
of positive blood and cerebrospinal fluid Wassermann reactions in each of the various clinical groups is shown in the
following table.

♦Positive cerebrospinal fluid Wassermann reactions are
here recorded only for the general paralysis and cerebral
syphilis groups. Occasionally positive results were obtained
in other groups, but were so infrequently encountered that it
is considered more accurate to omit entirely figures for these
occasional findings.
In the series recorded above, 4-plus cerebrospinal fluid
Wassermanns were found in 73 instances where the corresponding blood finding was negative, as follows: Paresis, 52;
Cerebral syphilis, 12; Tabes dorsalis, 1; Other groups, 8.
The diagnoses with which the serological findings reported in the foregoing tabulation are correlated are those
recorded with the histories in the Clinical Director's office.
Respectfully,
E. B. SATE,
Patholopist.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM,
JANUARY 1ST,
DR.

R. C.

1927.

SWINT,

Superintendent Georgia State Sanitarium.
DEAR SIR:

I wish to submit the following as a report of the Training
School for Nurses for the year ending December 31st, 1926.
The School has been in progress fifteen years, and has
graduated one hundred and twenty-nine nurses.
We feel the School is indispenable to the Hospital, and
that the graduates are well educated in all departments of
nursing, and have rendered to the world valuable service.
Many of our graduates are holding places of responsibility not only in this school, but in the different schools
throughout the United States.
The Alumnae Association of the School has a membership
of sixty-two, and has been very active during the year. It
has given the school and Superintendent of Nurses hearty
support in all efforts to make it the foremost among such
institutions.
The Annual Commencement was held July 21st, at 8 :30,
in the Amusement Hall.
Mrs. Archibald P. Brantley, President of the State Federated Clubs of Georgia, gave a most pleasing class address
to the graduates.
Mr. John T. Brantley, President of the Board of Trustees,
with a talk on service, delivered the diplomas, and Mr. H. H.
Dean, Vice-President of the Board, presented the hospital
pins.

Three cottages, each having seven rooms and a bath room,
have been built on the road between the Powell Building and
the Twin Buildings. These cottages are connected to the
sewer and are supplied with cold water connections to the
general supply.
A new ice plant has been built. This machine is housed
in a brick building. It is of the compression type and has a
capacity of twenty-five tons of ice each twenty-four. A good
portion of this capacity is used in the cooling of the cold
storage rooms. The cooling water used is sprayed through
a system of nozzles into a spray pond on the roof of the
building. The new plant includes an ice storage room, three
new cold storage rooms and a work room for the cutting and
issue of meats, etc. The total capacity of the new rooms,
together with the old, is nineteen thousand eight hundred
seventy-nine cubic feet. Two of the old cold storage rooms
have been thrown into one and the large room, together with
one of the meat rooms has been rebuilt and thoroughly insulated with cork-board. New coils for carrying the cooling
brime have been built for all of the rooms. These coils are
all built above bunkers which have drainage to the sewer.
This drainage of the bunkers prevents the possibility of any
drippage from the coils falling on the goods stored. A sus-

Eighty-Fourth Annual Report
OF THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

MlLLEDGEVlLLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1928.

To His Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor.
SIR:

The annual report required by law to be made by
the Board of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium
of the conduct and management of this institution is respectfully submitted herewith. It covers the year ended
December 31, 1927, and is the eighty-fourth report to be
so made. Its principal feature is the annual report to
the Board of the Superintendent and Resident Physician,
in which is included like reports to him from the heads
of departments, the whole setting out the work of the
year in substantial detail. For the excellent showing
made, due credit goes to this officer and his assistants.
With a clear vision of the Sanitarium as it might be, he
presses on with modest courage and calm judgment to
the conversion of his vision into terms of fact, in which
effort he has the loyal support of each member of the
medical and business staffs. This fine spirit is reflected
in the service rendered by nurses and attendants, as well
as 'by other employes.
In this forward movement
the Board assumes its full share, seeking by all means
in its power to make the Sanitarium a real sanctuary for
the insane. The State has just cause for pride in this great
hospital.
The year closed with a resident population of 4,936,
which is an increase of 83 over the preceding year. The
daily average of 4,931 shows a gain of 149 patients. Applications for admission reached a total of 1503 and of
these 1221 were admitted. Because of the congested
condition of the Sanitarium, admission was necessarily
denied to all cases deemed incurable and harmless, but
every effort was made to receive recent and acute cases
and cases certified as dangerous.

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Medical Department
The Board calls attention to the hopeful note found
in the report from the medical department which, under
the leadership of the Clinical Director, is slowly but
steadily growing in usefulness. Evidences of good team
work are abundant. Through personal instruction and
by means of informing bulletins issued monthly, faithful effort is made to give nurses and attendants a clear
conception of the nature of their work and its importance to the patients in their care. Through the intelligent and personal interest thus created, much good has
been accomplished, especially with excited and untidy
patients. A new beginning in behalf of epileptic patients
will be noted.. The rate of recovery shows an increase,
while the death rate has been lowered. The pathological
laboratory plays its useful part, as twelve thousand examinations in the year attests. The daily clinics indicate the thoroughness of the effort made to reach a correct
diagnosis and determine proper treatment for each of the
new admissions.
The training school for nurses reflects increasing
credit on the Superintendent of Nurses by whom it is
conducted and continues to amply justify its existance.
Apart from the marked betterment of the nursing service,
for which it takes credit, it attracts to the Sanitarium an
ample supply of higher grade applicants for training. No
investment in recent years is paying such large dividends
in bettered and happier service as is the nurses' home.
The Board hopes the time is not far distant when some
like provision can be made for the attendants.
The mental clinics conducted by members of the
medical staff at Macon and Elberton and the success
which has attended them point to a field of usefulness
which the Sanitarium should be permitted to fully develop. It should also be permitted to give its discharged
patients some after care, for which trained field agents
will be needed.
Business Department
The current cash resources of the Sanitarium at the
close of the year were $55,470.52 and its cash liabilities
$84,927.97, making an apparent cash deficit of $32,457.45.
A partial offset to this is had in the purchase by the

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Board of an improved automatic hook and ladder truck
with which to better safeguard the lives of the inmates,
and of 322.63 acres of additional pasturage land. The
cost of these two items was $16,436.16 and is properly
charged to equipment account. The total cash expenditures were $1,107,334.22, a decrease of $12,425.40 from
the expenditures in 1926. The per capita cost was
$224.57, a decrease of $9.59 from the cost last year. The
per diem per capita cost was but $0.6152. This is a
gratifying showing and evidences the good work of the
business department.
The farm gardens and dairy were so handled as to
make their usual substantial contribution to the support
of the Sanitarium. The dairy sustained a heavy loss in
the necessary disposal of a large number of its best milch
cows because of tubercular infection. Their replacement
will be undertaken only after a thorough disinfection has
been had and will be a matter of heavy expense.
Engineering Department
The upkeep of the great physical plant is the duty
of the Engineer's department and his report shows a
busy year.
The long and highly useful service rendered by this official is eloquent testimony to his worth.
The addition to the water works made possible by
special appropriation had by the last General Assembly
will be done with Sanitarium labor under his capable
supervision. The pipe for the duplicate water main has
been bought at an advantageous price and is now being
delivered. The completion of this important work will
safeguard the water supply for years to come.
New Buildings
The special appropriation of $500,000.00 had by
the last General Assembly will afford the Sanatarium
some measure of relief and its wise expenditure is now
receiving the careful study of the Board. Plans have
already been adopted for a domitory building for negro
patients and bids are being solicited for its construction.
It will be completed and occupied as quickly as possible.
This building together with the proposed enlargement
of the colony farm, will care for the present needs of this
department. The second building to be errected will

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

be used for a psychopathic and general hospital. Its
use will permit the gathering under one roof of recent
and acute cases for closer observation and better attention. The physically ill will also be housed in this building. Good results are confidently expected to follow this
long needed addition to the equipment of the Sanitarium.
In Conclusion
The Board makes grateful acknowledgement of the
generous treatment accorded the Sanitarium joy the
General Assembly and also of the continued courtesy of
the State Auditor. A like acknowledgement is made to
his Excellency for the strong and interested support
given it in the discharge of its responsible duties. If its
acts therein shall merit his approval, it will be sufficiently
rewarded. The helpful interest shown by the press in
the problems crowding upon it for solution is warmly
appreciated and now publicly acknowledged.
By order of the Board
JOHN

T. BRANTLEY,
President.

During the year we received 1,503 applications for ad(mission. Of this number, 1,353 were notified that we
would receive them and 150 were refused on account of
the greatly overcrowded condition of the institution. The
150 applications for admission that were refused, according to their application histories, were composed of
harmless seniles, bedridden invalids and feebleminded
persons who were incurable and it seemed might be successfully cared for outside of the Sanitarium with some
extra attention.
We hope, by the end of another year, to have completed at least one of the buildings we plan for relief of
the Sanitarium's overcrowded condition.
The total first admissions during the year were 967;
an increase of 13 over the previous year. There were
254 readmissions compared to 228 the previous year, or
an increase of 28. The total admissions during the year
were 1221; compared to 1180 the previous year, an increase of 31.
The term, first admissions, applies to those cases
that have never before been admitted to a hospital for
mental diseases for treatment. Therefore, the number
of cases in this group represents the new cases of mental
disease occurring within the State during the year with
the exception noted below.
Readmissions comprises the group of cases who
have previously received treatment in a mental hospital;
either state or private. Not all of this group have had
previous admissions to this institution.
32.1% of the total admissions during the year
were diagnostically grouped as manic depressive psychoses. Dementia praecox psychoses composed the next
largest grouping, viz:—17.4% of the total admissions
Psychoses with cerebral arteriosclerosis composed the
third largest grouping, or 9.6% of the total admissions.

12

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

It might be of interest to note that 32.4 Jo of the
total admissions were afflicted with organic or degenerative psychoses and were incurable. This does not include the group of cases diagnosed as dementia praecox
psychoses. It also should be of interest to note that of
the total admissions only 23 were diagnosed as alcoholic
psychoses and 9 as psychoses due to drugs, compared to 17
and 24 respectively for the previous year. It should be of
further interest to note that of 1,225 routine blood wassermann tests on new admissions, 117 or 9.5% were positive;
according to race and sex as follows:—White females
2.8%, white males 6.3%, colored females 16.9% and colored males 18.8%. A total average of 9.5%.
Also of the 117 positive blood wassermann reactions, 83 or 70.9% had positive wassermann reaction of
the spinal fluid and other serological indications of neurosyphilis. Of the 83 neurosyphilitic cases, 6 were white
females, 26 white males, 15 colored females and 36 colored males. A more detailed analysis of these findings
will be found in the report of the Pathologist.
1,100 of the 1,221 patients admitted during the year
were native Georgians; 113 were born in other States
of the United States, and only 8 were foreign born. Admissions were received from 156 Counties of the State.
217 of the admissions were farmers, 120 were laborers,
263 housekeepers, 20 cooks, 20 textile workers, 12 had
professions and 355 had no occupations according to admission histories. The occupations of the remainder
were varied and among the group were 13 students.
A total of 569 patients were discharged during the
year. Of this number, 164 were restored, 284 improved,
108 unimproved and 14 not insane. This group of cases,
except the not insane, had previously been furloughed
into the custody of their relatives and had remained out
of the Sanitarium over twelve months.
During the year, 974 patients were furloughed. Of
this group, 197 were restored, 571 improved and 206
unimproved; although we considered them harmless in
the custody of their relatives. On account of the greatly
overcrowded condition of the Sanitarium, we were rather
liberal in granting furloughs during the year to certain
chronic unimproved cases, in order to make room for

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

13

more urgent acute cases who were applying for admission, and this, in a measure, is responsible for the increase in the number of patients furloughed, but at the
same time, an analysis of the records show that 62.8%
of cases furloughed were restored or improved, compared to 51.9% for the similar group the previous year.
Therefore, we feel gratified that results indicate due
credit should be given the medical and nursing service
rendered; especially when the Sanitarium's greatly overcrowded condition is considered.
The following notation on psychiatric diagnostic

Just here it might be well to state that on account
of inadequate information concerning onset of mental
disorder and absence of definite and distinctive symptoms for grouping under one of the previous groups mentioned above, certain patients are left unclassified at
least temporarily until further observation and progress
of the case.
There were 434 deaths during the year; an increase
of 2 compared to the previous year, but the death rate
was 7.1% compared to 7.4% for the previous year, based
on the total number of patients under treatment.
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a general
review of the medical service for the year, also statistical tables containing data concerning diagnostic grouping of admissions; also ages, degree of education, environment, civil condition, etc., of first admissions. A statistical study of first admissions gives important information bearing on the social and economic problems concerning the genesis of mental diseases.
It might be of interest to note that the Sanitarium
has six reception wards for reception of all new admis-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

sions, viz;—two for white females, two for white males,
one for colored females and one for colored males. When
patients are first admitted to the institution, they are
received in one of these wards where they are kept under close observation and a physical and mental examination is made of them. When this examination is completely written and an abstract or summary of it made,
the patient is presented before the Medical Staff for review and discussion. This requires daily Staff meetings
except on Sundays. Also many cases are brought before
the Staff for discharge consideration.
During the year a group of epileptics were segregated for Ketogenic treatment by administration of a fat
diet. This treatment is being continued and results
noted, but we have not yet reached any conclusion as to
its merit; also we continued the research treatment of
general paralysis of the insane by the intravenous administration of typhoid vaccine. The results obtained
warrant a continued study of this method of treatment,
and our experience would indicate its merit equal to or
superior to the malarial treatment of this fatal disease.
No epidemic diseases of any consequence developed
among the patients during the year.
Dr. G. A. Wheeler of the United States Public Health
Service, under the direction of Dr. Joseph Goldberger of
Washington, D. C, continued their research study of pellagra. This study dealt largely with the prevention of
the disease through the use of certain food supplements
to the basic diet, and the application of this, as well as
previously acquired information, to the routine care and
treatment of active cases. It was shown that 1200 C. C.
per day of expressed juice of canned tomatoes used as a
supplement to routine diet will prevent a recurrence
among pellagrins. Also 150 grams (about 5 ounces) of
commercial wheat germ, when used as a supplement and
served as a cooked cereal, will successfully prevent recurrences. These workers have published their findings,
ana have recommended that tomatoes and whole wheat
flour be included in the dietary of those living in sections where pellagra seems endemic.
Some changes occurred in the Medical Staff during
the year. Internes, Drs. J. T. Stephenson and C. B. Kinney resigned to enter general practice and Drs. W. E.

16

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Brigman and J. D. Wiley were secured to fill their vacancies. Drs. W. F. Dobyns and A. H. Fowler were promoted from Internes to Junior Assistant Physicians and
Dr. W. A. Bostick was promoted from Junior Assistant
Physician to Assistant Physician. During the early part
of the year we secured the services of Miss Leona C.
Frederickson of the United States Marine Hospital, Baltimore, Md., as dietian and Mrs. G. L. Echols was elected an additional dietitian in October. Also, beginning
September 1st, the services of Miss Cecile Humphrey
was secured as psychiatric social worker.
The Training School for Nurses, under the direction of Mrs. Mae M. Jones, was kept at its usual standard of excellence and her report gives a review of its
activities, curriculum, etc.
The Sanitarium's extra mural activities were limited
to the Macon and Elberton psychiatric clinics, and a report of them is incorporated in the Clinical Director's
report. Plans have been made to allow a member of our
Staff make regular visits to the Boys Training School;
also we have under consideration the establishment of
Clinics at Columbus and Savannah, Ga.
The work of the Dental Department was done by
Drs. Geo. H. Green and J. C. Adcock as previously. All
new admissions had their mouths examined soon after
admission, and immediate steps taken to put them in a
hygenic condition. The report of these Dentists gives
a tabulation of the amount and character of work done
in this department.
Amusements aud Diversions
Realizing from past experience that Occupational
Therapy was a valuable aid in the treatment of mental
disease, we endeavored during the year to interest new
admissions as soon after admission as practicable by
sending them daily to Occupational Therapy classes. We
expanded this activity in white female department by fixing up one of the day porticos between the 18th and 22nd
wards, so that some of the more chronic type of cases
could be reached. Also wood work shop was completed
at white male occupation park and equipped with modern electrical machinery.

The weekly dances in the amusement hall seem to
be greatly enjoyed by the patients; also the moving picture shows.
We now have a fire-proof room for our moving picture machine, built of brick and cement on the outside
of the west wall of amusement hall.
The Sanitariujm Band gave concerts on the lawns
tri-weekly. During the summer barbecues were given
the various working groups and during the Christmas
season, Christmas trees were held and presents were
put on the trees for each patient of the groups represented, and delivered to them after an amusement program was completed with each tree.
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon
in the chapel by the Chaplain, Rev. H. D. Warnock, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Milledgeville, Ga., until November 1st, and from that date by Rev. J. F. Yarbrough,
pastor, First Methodist Church, Milledgeville, Ga. They
also conducted funerals of remains of white patients interred in the Sanitarium cemetery.
Improvements and Repairs
The report of the Engineer gives a detailed review
of the principal improvements and repairs made during
the year.
The purchase of an American Lafranc Aerial Ladder Truck during the latter part of the year gave us
quite an addition to our fire department.
A badly needed addition of three rooms to the laboratory is under construction and will soon be completed.
More than ten thousand square feet of new flooring
have been laid on the wards during the year, and considerably more repairs are needed that we hope to have
accomplished the coming year.
Reconditioning of buildings at dry dairy for stables
is well under way and plans for removal of work shop
from back yard of Powell Building have been made.
The completion of pasteurizing room adjoining the
cold storage plant and the installation of a three hundred gallon milk pasteurizer therein gave us a very useful equipment.

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Business Department
The report of the Steward gives a detailed account
of receipts and disbursements of monies during the year.
The total amount expended, including every item of cost
for maintenance and upkeep of the institution was
$1,107,334.22 compared to 1,119,759.62 the previous year.
The annualper capita cost was $224.57; daily per
capita cost .6153 cents compared to $234.16 and .6415
cents respectively. The above figures bespeak economy
in financial matters thoughout the year.
Farm Steward's Department
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of
vegetables and other products raised on the farm, garden, dairy and poultry yard during the year.
The Colony farm made a fine crop of corn and peas;
the largest harvest of corn ever made there. We were
taxed for storage space. We also had an abundant harvest of sweet potatoes. We had the misfortune; however, to lose many of our best dairy cows from tubercular
infection; also many hogs from swine plague and cholera,
although they had received preventive inoculations
against cholera by representative from State Veterinarian's office.
Notable Events During the Year
April 20th and 21st.
The Sanitarium was visited by Governor elect, Dr.
L. G. Hardman.
August 25th.
The Sanitarium was visited by the Georgia Weekly
Press Association and they were given a barbecue
at the white male occupation park.
October 19th and 20th.
The Sanitarium was visited by His Excellency Governor L. G. Hardman and Mrs. Hardman.

Report of Medical Department

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report of the Medical Department for the year 1927.
Twelve hundred and twenty-one (1221) patients
were received. Of these nine hundred and sixty-five
(965) were first admissions and two hundred and fiftysix (256) were readmissions. Of the latter sixty-seven
(67) were first admitted to private hospitals or other
state institutions.
In eleven (11) instances a diagnosis of not insane
was made. Two of these were placed in psychopathic
group, one was mentally deficient, one was an alcoholic,
one a drug habitue, one epileptic and three were criminals. The remaining two could not be classified as insane for lack of symptoms.
In the case of ten patients, criminal acts appeared to
have been the immediate cause of commitment. Three
of these were found to be not insane, two were classified
as manic depressive, one as psychosis with epilepsy and
four were left unclassified. Of the last group one patient,
charged with homicide, was in the last stage of tuberculosis when received and died seven days after admission,
one was feeble minded and the remaining two belonged
to the psychopathic group.
The criminal charges were as follows:
Stealing
Forgery
Homicide
Felony, not specified

Nine hundred and eighty-eight (988) patients left
the institution on furlough. (This does not include a
number of patients who had their furloughs renewed or
who were returned a short while after escaping.) Of
these furloughs seven hundred and sixty-eight (768) had
been restored or had improved. This gave a recovery
rate of 62.8% as against 51.1% for 1926 and 57% for
1925.
There were four hundred and thirty-four (434)
deaths during the year. The death rate was 6.8% as
against 7.4% for 1926 and 7.% for 1925. Arteriosclerosis or cerebral hemorrhage was the assigned cause of
death in one hundred and nine (109) instances. This
constituted 25% of the deaths. As a cause of death paresis was second with fifty-nine (59) and tuberculosis third
with fifty-eight (58). Five patients committed suicide,
all by strangulation. This is unusual. Three patients
who were extremely sick with typhoid at time of admission died of that disease. One patient died of hook worm
disease twenty-two (22) days after admission. One
hundred and fifty-three (153) patients died within six
months after they were admitted. Fifty-four (54) of
these died within one month of the date of admission.
All patients, with the exception of the sick and feeble
were vaccinated against typhoid fever.
During the year forty-three (43) patients suffering
from paresis were treated by the use of foreign protein
(typhoid vaccine). In addition, the treatment was begun but not completed in six other cases. It is not yet
possible to determine the value of this form of treatment
as insufficient time has elapsed. These were not selected
cases except for the fact that in two or three instances the
patients were so feeble that it was not thought wise to
subject them to treatment. It seems probable that much
better results will be had with white than with colored
patients. Very satisfactory results were obtained in fifteen cases treated in 1926 by the same method. It has
been remarked before that paresis among the colored
males is either much more rapidly fatal than it is among
white males or else the disease in the colored patients is
much further advanced when they are received.
In the latter nine months of the year some epileptics
were treated by dietary means but no results of consequence have been noted up to this time.

22

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Personal contact with patients has been emphasized
as a means of treatment and no doubt this has played a
part in such success as has come to the Medical Service.
The influence of special attention to excited and untidy
patients has been as evident as in former years.
Details of; the work done in the laboratory will be
found in the report of the pathologist. The fact that
more than twelve thousand (12,000) examinations were
made in the laboratory indicates the amount of work
done in that department. The laboratory is an indispensable part of the Medical Service.
The training school for nurses has, as in former
years, continued to fulfill its place of usefulness in the
institution. Its graduates are filling many positions of
responsibility with credit to themselves and to the institution.
The Macon Clinic was held each Friday afternoon
with exception of one afternoon when offices were closed
on account of legal holiday. A total of one hundred and
sixty-three (163) patients paid five hundred and four
(504) calls at the headquarters. Telephone calls to the
number of one hundred and fifty-seven (157) were received from or concerning patients. The popularity of
this work has gradually gained since its inception eight
years ago.
The monthly school clinic held at Elberton has also
been productive of good and has attracted some attention. A total of one hundred and eighty-nine (189) visits
were paid to this clinic. In addition to this the attending physician received a number of calls in the vicinity
in regard to frank psychoses in adults. These two extramural clinics bring us into contact with only a very
small portion of the states population but serve as indicators of what might be accomplished.
Miss Cecile Humphrey, B. S. (Health) began work
September first as Social Worker. Up to the present
her time has been spent on the wards where she is acauirinc n first hand knowledge of abnormal psychology
and etiology of mental diseases. She has also been active in directing plays, games and other forms of intertainment. Miss Humphrey is well qualified for her
work by reason of native ability and disposition and by

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

reasons of studies in physical education, educational psychology and mental hygiene, social policy in education,
mental tests and measures and vocational guidance. We
are in much need of work in these lines.
Some needed improvements in the Medical Department have been recommended from time to time in
monthly reports and are a matter of record.
Due acknowledgement is here made to all who have
assisted in the Medical work.
The customary tabulations follow.
Respectfully submitted,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
JANUARY
DR.

1, 1928.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

I have the honor of submitting the sixteenth annual
report of the Georgia State Sanitarium Training School
for Nurses for the year beginning January 1, 1927, and
ending December 31, 1927.
The school has been in progress seventeen years and
has graduated one hundred and forty-one nurses.
The records of the school show that forty per cent,
of the students enrolled withdraw before completing the
full three year course. Various reasons are given for
leaving, but matrimony ranks first.
The raising of the educational requirements to full
high school graduates, has increased, rather than decreased, the number of applications.
The Alumnae Association has a membership of
eighty-eight and continues to be of great benefit to the
school and Superintendent of Nurses.
A Young Woman's Christian Association was organized April 4, 1927 with twenty-three members. Vesper service is held every Sunday evening in the lounge
of Brantley Hall. Miss Myrtle Lomax, class of 1927 is
president, and has increased the membership to fifty.
The Annual Commencement was held May 18, 1927
at eight o'clock in Amusement Hall, twelve nurses receiving diplomas.
Dr. M. A. Clark, a prominent physician of Macon,
gave a very pleasing address to the graduates.
The diplomas were delivered by Mr. John T. Brantley, president of the Board of Trustees, and the hospital
pins by Dr. T. M. Hall, chairman of the Medical Committee.

Eighty-Fifth Annual Report
OP THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1929.

To His Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor.
SIR:

The eighty-fifth annual report made mandatory by
law of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium, covering the conduct and management of this institution for the year 1928, is respectfully submitted
herewith, together with such recommendations therein
as are pertinent and necessary to be made.
Superintendent's Report
The attached annual report of the Superintendent
and Resident Physician, supported by similar reports of
department heads, presents in comprehensive detail the
work of the year. The results shown are such as to
merit for this responsibile officer, and for those serving
under him the high praise of the Board.
Encouraging Note
The Sanitarium is charged with the care of the
State's insane who may be broadly divided into two classes, the acute or curable, and the chonic or incurable. It
is, therefore, both hospital and asylum, and the Board
notes with deep satisfaction its slowly growing efficiency
in both these purposes. The recovery rate for the year
shows a small increase. The chronic insane offers the
medical profession what is doubtless its most discouraging field of endeavor, and yet some progress is made
here. A recent bulletin issued by the medical department for circulation among officers and employees
states that since the introduction in 1919 of habit training there has been effected, using the record of that year
as a basis of comparison, a reduction of 61 per cent in
the total number of hours of seclusion, and of 80 per
cent in the total number of hours of restraint in which it
has heretofore been found necessary to hold certain types
of this class both for their own and the protection of

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

others. At the same time their destructive tendency has
been sharply reduced. Such significant and happy results are due to the clear vision and patient work of the
Clinical Director and his assistants, and they testify
anew to the far-sighted wisdom of a former beloved
Superintendent in being first to substitute kindness for
harshness in the care of the insane, a policy which his
successors have steadily continued. They demonstrate
conclusively that the mentally ill respond to good nursing
no less than do the physicially ill. In this connection,
the Training School for Nurses maintained by the Sanitarium is a most valuable adjunct. Because of these
things the new year is entered with hope and courage despite one serious handicap, the overcrowded condition of
the Sanitarium.
Population
The year closed with 5096 resident patients, an increase for the year of 133, and for ten years of 1134.
The number of patients parolled with the right of return
within twelve months was 698, making a total enrollment of 5794 patients. The daily average number of
resident patients was 5046, an increase of 111. Applications for admission numbered 1591, of whom 1090 were
admitted. Others were granted admission, but for some
reason were not presented. Admission was necessarily
denied to harmless cases offering no hope of benefit and
easily cared for at home.
The report of the Board for 1927 stated that the
Sanitarium was then overcrowded by 1241 patients, and
this number has now grown to 1462. The gravity of this
condition needs no comment by the Board.
Measure for Relief
Responding to that report the Legislature in that
year generously granted the Board an appropriation of
$500,000, available in 1927 and 1928, for the erection of
two additional buildings. The first of these will be ready
for occupancy in February next and will accommodate
400 patients. It will be used to relieve the congestion
where it is most acute, the colored female department.
This building will be as nearly fire proof as it is possible
to make it and will mark a distinct advance in the type of

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

buildings heretofore had. Sanitarium labor has been used
as much as possible to reduce its cost which up to this
time has been $190,255.72. The second building, of the
same type of construction, is now under way and should
be ready for occupancy in the late summer of 1929. It
will be used as a hospital for the treatment of the acute
insane, and of the physically ill, thus supplying the greatest need of the medical department. It will contain 218
beds and be fitted with the best equipment it is possible
to give it. In honor of the long and faithful service of
the late Superintendent and Resident Physician it will
be known as the "L. M. Jones Building".
The report of the Board for 1927 stated that five
new buildings were necessary to provide for the over
population, and this estimate remains unchanged. The
completion of the two buildings under way will leave
three yet to be supplied, and these are needed to accommodate 300 white female patients, 200 white males and
200 colored males now in the Sanitarium. No provision
will be had in them for the future.
Other Building Needs
In addition to the three buildings just mentioned
there is urgent need for an amusement hall, ample in
size for the present population. The old one was built
many years ago and is much too small. No loss will result from its abandonment, since it can easily be converted into dormitories for patients. The very helpful
pleasures of the insane are not many, and such a hall is
a primary need for this purpose.
A second story should be added to the storehouse so
that sufficient room may be had in it for the storage of
supplies now necessary to be carried in stock.
A suitable residence should be provided for the use
of the Superintendent and Resident Physician, and his
present apartment in the Powell building used for administrative purposes. Such a residence should be in
keeping with the dignity of the institution and large
enough to permit him to dispense the hospitality expected of him as its official head.
A water main should be laid from the Sanitarium
to its Colony Farm four miles away so that the patients
there may be assured of an ample supply of water,
since the present source is unreliable. The alternative
is an artesian well with uncertain results.

8

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

Fire is the nightmare of all who are charged with
the care of the insane. The best protection is to be had
through fire proof buildings, of which the Sanitarium
has none, save the two new ones now under construction.
Its principal buildings now in use are of brick and wood
construction, with roofs of metal, slate or tile, and are
three stories high. Save in the case of the nurses home
no fire escapes are had. Escapes of the ladder type
would be as dangerous to insane persons as fire. Reliance has always been had on enclosed inside stairways
as a means of escape in case of fire, and thus far no fatalities have occurred. For protection against fire, reliance is had on water mains distributed throughout the
grounds from which the buildings are reached through
four-inch headers, a late model auto triple fire pumper,
an auto extension ladder of ample height, and a well
organized fire department. As a further and safer
means of protecting both buildings and inmates from fire
they should be speedily equipped with automatic fire
sprinklers. In calling attention to this ever present danger, the Board is painfully aware that the present congested condition of the Sanitarium very greatly multiplies it.
Attention is called to the attached report of the
heating engineer employed to make a survey of the present method and cost of heating the buildings, in connection with the present cost of electric current used for
lights and power, in order to ascertain what saving, if
any, is possible through a consolidated heating plant in
which is combined one or more electric power units, the
estimated cost of such, etc. No suffering is now had
from lack of heat, or from shortage of electric current
had from the Georgia Power Company, and the matter
is to be considered from the standpoint of economy alone.
When these needs shall have been supplied it is the
deliberate judgment of the Board that the further enlargement of the Sanitarium should end.
Provision for the Future
This judgment of the Board grows out of its knowledge that the Sanitarium is already one of the largest
institutions for the care of the insane in the United
States, and that its wise management is a problem of the
first magnitude. It believes that in it the safety limit
has been reached and passed. This problem is not peculiar to Georgia, and other States, facing the future, have

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

found the only safe solution of it to be in a second hospital. This course the Board very earnestly urges upon
his Excellency and the Legislature. There can be no
question of the dire need for such in the face of 501 applications for admission to the Sanitarium on hand at
the end of the year. Many other insane persons are
doubtless held at home or are cared for in private hospitals.
Hospitals for Sane Epileptics
No hospital program of the State will be complete
without some provision for epileptics who are not insane and for whom no State provision is now had. The
tendency of this malady is toward insanity and whatever the State can do to avert such an end is most wise
and humane. The distress of this class is the greater
because the nature of their malady with its repulsive
manifestation causes them to be shunned by the well.
The colony type of hospital which seems to be indicated
for their care and treatment might be made partly self
sustaining through the self helpful work of its patients,
and to this end ample ground for farm, garden, orchard,
poultry yards, etc. should be had. This class is not insane and such an hospital has no proper connection with
an hospital for the insane.
Surgical Sterilization
Bearing on the general problem of the insane is the
need for a compulsory law which will operate to prevent
the unfit from reproducing their kind to the consequent
detriment of society and burden to the State. This is to
be accomplished through surgical sterilization, and such
a law, if enacted, should apply to certain types of the
insane, the feeble minded, syphilitics and criminal recidivists as it may define, and should be compulsory under such regulations as may be provided. The beneficial effect of such a law will not be immediately apparent
for obvious reasons, but none who know the facts can
question its wisdom. The report of the Superintendent
cites the California law as a safe model to follow.
Widening Usefulness
The mental clinics established in Macon and Elberton by local physicians with the assistance of members
of the Sanitarium medical staff have justified themselves,

10

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

and might usefully be set up in all the large centers of
the State. Cases of suspected mental disorder are
brought before them for examination and such advice as
will avert a mental collapse.
The usefulness of the Sanitarium might be increased
by its assumption of some after care of its discharged
patients until such time as mental strength is had. This
could be accomplished through especially trained field
workers, who might also be used to gain fuller histories
of patients under treatment, for the guidance of the
medical staff. The means at its disposal do not now permit this additional work to be undertaken.
Growing public interest in mental hygiene is shown
in visits to the Sanitarium during the year by classes in
psychology from several of the colleges and universities
in the State. Lectures were had before them by members of the medical staff.
Water Supply
The water supply of the Sanitarium is drawn from
the Oconee river. An appropriation was had in 1927,
available in 1928, for enlarging this supply by additional filters, pump and water main. For economical reasons this work is being done with Sanitarium labor and
because of heavy weather during the year as well as the
need for work elsewhere this work has been much retarded. Pipe for the duplicate 12-inch main is on the
ground and partly laid, and a standpipe of 150,000 gallon capacity has been erected and is in use. The whole
work will be completed as rapidly as possible. The expenditures to date for this work are $42,613.01.
Although the pumping station is supposed to be located well above the highest water mark of record, the
flood during the year put it under four feet of water.
Only the great storage reservoir so wisely provided in
the past prevented a desperate situation. A levee has
now been built for its protection.
Milk Supply
An outbreak in the past of contagious abortion and
the prevalence of tuberculosis in the dairy herd have
served to greatly deplete its number. Rigorous measures were, taken to stamp out both troubles and the remainder of the herd now appears to be free. No replacements will be made until all danger of further infection
is passed. In the meantime reliance must be had on outside sources for an adequate supply.

Finances
The total expenditures in the year for the support
of the Sanitarium were $1,191,871.25, of which $13,388.54
was from sources other than the State.
The cost per patient was $233.55, an increase over
1927 of $8.63, and mainly accounted for in the increased
cost of food supplies. The daily per capita cost was
$0.6398.
The year closed with working assets on hand of
$182,159.94 invested in cash, supplies, etc. The cash
liabilities were $81,534.49. The apparent cash deficit
was $12,122.15, as against a like deficit last year of $29,452.77. To offset this, a gain in the worth of supplies
on hand of $19,966.88 will be noted. In this connection
it should be remembered that the Sanitarium can never
be without a safe margin of supplies with which to meet
any emergency.
Supplies were bought as usual on competitive bids,
open to all, from samples submitted.
The usual audit of the books by the State Auditor
was made with satisfactory results.
The excellent work shown in the business department, including farm, garden and dairy, and in the department of up-keep of the vast physical plant, is such as
to merit for the Steward, Farm Steward and Engineer
the warm commendation of the Board.
Legal Amendments
The Board once again calls attention to the impossibility of enforcing the law governing admissions to the
Sanitarium as shown in Michie's Compilation of the
Code, Chapter 3, Article 2, Section 3102. It should either
be clarified, or repealed. It seeks to define the classes
entitled to admission, and to create both pay and pauper
patients, the last being those whose estates are valued
under $3000. It provides no method of ascertaining the
value of the estate of those seeking admission, nor for
the management of the estate of those admitted so as to
insure the payment to the Sanitarium of its "reasonable
charge for board and keep". It contains no provision
for those whose estates may fail to yield a sufficient income for their support, nor for those whose estate may
be wasted or stolen after admission. It is not made retroactive and is applicable to new admissions only. This

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

problem was fought out in the Legislature many years
ago and the Sanitarium then made free to bona fide citizens of the State. It was realized then that the State
must of necessity provide for her insane regardless of
their property holdings, and that the patients of the
Sanitarium could not be discharged from its care because
of inability to pay. It was realized, too, that the property of insane citizens bears it proportion of taxes for
the support of the State government. One exception to
this general rule seems possible and it in the case of those
possessing an estate but having no family or near dependent relatives. In such a case as this the estate might
properly vest in the Sanitarium to be expended for his
support, it being expressly provided that any residue remaining at his discharge shall be restored to him, or that
at his death it shall become the property of the Sanitarium. In such cases the Sanitarium takes the place of
family and relatives. Another serious objection to the
law is the unhappy and harmful effect on the patients
themselves through the class distinction the law would
create. For these and for other reasons the Board recommends the repeal of this section, and the enactment
of the following:
SANITARIUM FREE TO WHOM: The said Sanitarium
shall be free to all bona fide citizens of the State who may be
insane or afflicted with mental disease. No paralytic invalid,
idiot, imbecile, epileptic, drug or alcoholic addict, who is not
insane, shall be committed to or admitted to it.
The history which must accompany all applications for
admission to the said Sanitarium shall contain just and adequate reasons why such admission should be had. and if such
reasons are not given, the Superintendent may refuse admission.
It shall be permitted the family or friends of any person
who may be admitted to the said Sanitarium to furnish such
person at their own cost such clothing, extra food and other
luxuries as they may desire under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Board of Trustees.
If any person who may be admitted to the said Sanitarium shall be possessed of an estate, and shall be without
family or near dependent relatives, such estate shall vest in
the Board of Trustees of the said Sanitarium to be managed
for his benefit and to be expended for his use and support
while a patient in the Sanitarium, it being provided, however,
that in the event of his discharge any residue remaining of
such estate shall be put into his possession or that in the event
of his death it shall become the property of the said Sanitarium.

The Board also recommends the repeal of Section
1585, Article 2, Chapter 1, governing the examination of

Death of Board Members
The Board has lost two of its oldest and most highly
esteemed members in the last biennial period and the
fact is recorded with a deep sense of personal loss.
Mr. H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, Vice President of
and for eighteen years a member of the Board, died in
October 1927 following a surgical operation. His fine
legal ability and wide business experience gave worth to
his counsel and made him a tower of strength to the
Board. The benevolent purpose of the Sanitarium enlisted his whole heart and mind and caused him to give
it generously of his best. The call of duty when its
interest were to be served never failed to be answered.
The death of Mr. J. C. Jarnagin, of Warrenton, occurred in December 1928 following a brief illness, and

14

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

brought a service of nineteen years as a member of the
Board to its close. He brought to its sessions the wisdom had from long business experience, an understanding heart, a willingness to work and a faithfulness to
duty beautiful to see. Combined with his sterling qualities of heart and mind were a modest demeanor and a
happy disposition which won him many friends.
Personal
The duties of the Board have been faithfully discharged and every effort made to protect the interests
of the State and of society. It is grateful to his Excellency for his continued confidence and strong support.
Its thanks are due to the State Auditor for helpful aid in
the solution of its financial problems, to the Legislature
for its generous treatment, and to the Press for the
kindly and helpful interest shown in the Sanitarium. It
humbly prays that this great family of the helpless may
ever abide in the care of Almighty God.

ESTIMATE FOR CENTRAL HEATING AND
POWER PLANT
GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
BY
THE MARKEL COMPANY, ENGINEERS, ATLANTA, GEORGIA

In preparing an estimate on the cost of the proposed new plant, we believe we are safe and that in actual
practice it will be possible to reduce this.
Considerable of the construction, especially the tunnels, could be done by the Sanitarium at a cost much less
than estimated.
The detailed estimate for this plant follows, and is
the basis for operating costs of the new plant.
The new plant would handle a low grade of fuel
which we estimate to cost not over 83 cents per ton at
the mine. The freight is estimated to be the same as at
present, or $2.99, making a total cost of $3.82 per ton.
For the plant labor for the new plant, we include,
Two engine room men ($150.00 per month)
Two firemen ($100.00 per month)
Labor

$3,600.00
2,400.00
1,150.00
$7,150.00

Regarding the extra coal for summer load, we believe this item will really disappear owing to the fact that
in the day time it will be absorbed by the laundry, while
the balance of the time it will be used in keeping up the
temperature of the domestic water, or in offsetting the
fuel that is now used in keeping pressure on the fire
pump.
In each set of estimates we have used amounts which
we believe will be required during the next year when
buildings, now under construction, will be under full operation. This applies to fuel, material and labor. In
estimating replacements in old plants, we believe this
amount will be necessary owing to the great age of the
equipment.
If we decided that no additions would be necessary,
in the present plants during the next ten years, then we
can reduce the size of the proposed new plant by at least
fifty thousand dollars.

A study of the above table shows an admission of
606 males and 484 females, or a total of 1,090 during the
year. This number is 131 less than the previous year,
but we received a total of 1,591 applications for admission, compared to 1,503 the previous year. The greatly
overcrowded condition of the institution compelled us to
refuse admission to many who made application for admission. In passing on applications, we endeavored to
give preference to the younger and more urgent type of
cases. The information contained in applicant's history
being the only criteria we had at hand, except supplemental letters from friends and relatives of those refused and later accepted. We hope, by the middle of
February, the new building for colored females will be
ready for occupancy. This building is constructed of
brick with concrete floors, and is of fire resistant construction throughout and will accommodate about 400
patients; allowing 50 square feet of floor space per patient for dormitory purposes and 30 square feet per patient additional for day porticos. This will provide adequate quarters for the colored females for some time.
Contractors begun work on the Psychopathic Hospital Building in November, and they plan to have it completed by. July 1st, 1929. This building will have six
wards and will accommodate about 240 patients. It will
be of fire resistant construction throughout and three
stories high with terrazo floors. The north side of the
building will be four stories including the basement,
which will compose gymnasium, occupation therapy
room, hydrotherapy room, X-ray quarters, physiotherapy
rooms and work shop. The first two floors will be reception wards for new admissions and the top floor will be
hospital wards for sick and surgical cases, with a modern
operating room and diet kitchen in connection therewith.
This building has been long needed by the institution in
meeting the problems of the unfortunate charges committed to her care.

When these two buildings are completed and occupied, the institution will still be overcrowded in the
white male, white female and colored male departments,
by about 700 patients. Therefore, it is important that
provisions be made as early as practicable for this overcrowding, and to provide for the future growth of the
mental disease problem in this state. This commonwealth has assumed the burden of this problem, and it is
one that should be second to none of all of her responsibilities.
Individuals afflicted with mental disorders, have the
most serious of afflictions and are the most needful of
hospitalization of all who become sick, because the very
nature of their illness causes them to have behavior that
sooner or later conflicts with society and the law. Then
the law deprives them of their liberty. A person only
physically sick may elect to take treatment at home or
some general hospital of their choice, but if they become
mentally sick, they have no choice in the matter. Therefore, an environment should be provided for these unfortunates, equipped with facilities for treatment to comply with all requirements that modern phychiatry and
medical science offers, for their restoration to health and
useful citizenship.
After many years of thought and study of this problem, we are convinced that another institution for mental disease should be founded in another section of the
State and located near one of the medical schools or
large cities, so that a staff of consulting physicians and
surgeons (Specialist) would be available as consultants
with the resident staff. Looking to the future, we think
this would be wiser than to add more buildings to this
institution, except those now needed.
The above idea conforms to the opinions of most of
the leading and experienced superintendents of state Hospitals in the United States and Canada, and is practiced
by those states most advanced in equipment for meeting
the needs of their mental disease problem. Georgia is
the only State in the Union of its size, population and
wealth that is attempting to provide for this tremendous
problem with one institution.
The history of this institution, since it was founded,
convinces us that the problem will continue to grow with
the coming years, as the population of the State increas-

es; notwithstanding the progress being made in the methods of treatment and the fact that we are learning more
and more about mental hygiene, by a closer study of the
individual and his personal attributes in childhood and
adult life, and the various factors that cause maladjustment.
However, much greater results might be accomplished in the prevention of mental diseases, during this modern and stressful era, if the public mind would concentrate their energies to the problem of bad heredity. It
does not matter whether legal restriction of marriage,
surgical sterilization or segregation should be remedy
or remedies applied with other mental hygienic activities; the prescription is a long one, and would require
many years before outstanding results might be obtained. I am convinced that surgical sterilization of those
afflicted with certain types of mental disease, the feebleminded, syphilitics and criminal recidivists, is the best
remedy medical science has to offer and would eventuate
in greatest results if made compulsory. If not made compulsory, I doubt the wisdom of such law. California has
one of the simplest and best sterilization laws that I
have been able to find.
Furloughs, Discharges and Deaths
Of the 898 patients furloughed during the year, 355
were white males, 307 white females, 116 colored males
and 120 colored females. Of this group, 188 were restored and 546 improved, making a total of 67.3 per cent
restored and improved, based on the total admissions for
the year.
Of the 646 patients discharged during the year, nine
were without psychosis, 156 were restored, 383 improved
and 98 unimproved, but we regarded harmless. This
group of cases, except those without psychosis, had previously been furloughed into the custody of relatives and
remained out of the institution over twelve months; the
furlough period allowed by law. A few of the restored
cases, soon after leaving the institution, requested their
discharges for business reasons, and they were given.
Of the 389 deaths during the year, 121 were white
males, 82 white females, 96 colored males and 90 colored
females. The total deaths during the year were 45 less
than the previous year. The average daily patient pop-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

ulation was 5,046 and the total number under treatment,
exclusive of those on furlough, were 6.026. The death
rate during the year was .064 per cent of the total number under treatment.
Medical Service
No innovations in treatment were instituted during
the year, but we endeavored to keep in mind the idea of
studying the origin and meaning of symptoms and nursing attention. While no great discoveries, like insulin in
the treatment of diabetes has been made, yet, we think
that some progress is being made in the treatment of
mental disorders, and one of the evidences of this is the
noted improvement on the wards of the destructive rate,
seclusions and restraints of the disturbed cases. While
we are gradually learning more and more about the problems of the different type of cases, yet, we sometimes feel
that our progress is rather slow.
We continued the use of foreign protein in the form
of typhoid vaccine in the treatment of general paralysis
of the insane. Of the 84 cases treated, 46 were white
males, 3 were white females, 27 were colored males and
8 colored females. Of the 46 white males treated, 21
improved, 11 did not improve and 14 died. Of the 3
white females treated, none improved—all still living.
Of the 27 colored males treated, 1 improved, 9 did not
improve and 17 died. Of the 8 colored females treated,
2 improved, 4 did not improve and 2 died. Ten of the
improved group have been furloughed into the custody
of relatives, and the future alone can determine the final
result. We discontinued the Ketogenic dietary treatment of the group of epileptics, as results obtained did
not warrant its continuance.
We continued occupation therapy as an aid in treatment, but made no material advances in this department,
as we have been unable to secure a properly trained individual to take charge of this work in the white female
department. In this connection, I will state that the
many male patients' that we encourage to work in the
gardens, on the farm and the many activities about the
institution are greatly benefitted thereby. It does not
matter so much whether an individual is engaged in arts
and crafts, industrial or agricultural activities, the results obtained may be good if the proper approach is

'2A_

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

made under tactful and wise supervision. When work
of any kind is employed as a therapeutic measure, it
should be under the direction of the physician, effect
noted and recorded.
The general health of the patients during the year
has been very good; no extensive contagious and infectious disease epidemic occurred, although during the latter part of the year, a mild epidemic of influenza developed with a few deaths from pneumonia complications.
We were rather apprehensive when water works
was flooded by the river during the high water in August. The bacteriological test of the water afterwards
showed evidence of slight pollution, but no harmful results followed.
The institution's extra mural activities expanded
some during the year. In addition to continuing the
Macon and Elberton Clinics, a member of the Staff began
spending an afternoon of each week at the Georgia Training School for Boys. Also classes from Georgia State
College for Women, Milledgeville; Teachers' College,
Athens; Emory University, Atlanta; Mercer University,
Macon; Morris Brown University (colored) Atlanta,
visited the institution and were given lectures on abnormal psychology and shown clinical cases. Amusements in the form of weekly dances, moving pictures and
band concerts were provided as formerly.
The record made by the Training School for Nurses
was unusually good. A detailed report of the "home
coming" of the Alumnae, graduating exercises, list of
graduates, plan of instruction and curriculum will be
found in the report of Superintendent of Nurses.
A detailed review of the medical work with statistical tables will be found in the report of the Clinical
Director.

Interne W. B. Brigman resigned on account of ill
health.

Drs. J. C. Statham and C. R. Youmans were appointed as Internes.
Pellagra Study
The studies on the treatment and prevention of pellagra, conducted by the United States Public Health Service in conjunction with the medical staff, were continued
under the general supervision of Dr. Joseph Goldberger,
with Dr. G. A. Wheeler in local charge. Several staple
foods have been studied and their pellagra prevention influence determined.
Fresh milk or buttermilk in quantities of 40 ounces
as a daily food supplement, has been found satisfactory
in the prevention or treatment of the disease. Also, seven ounces of fresh beef, six ounces of canned salmon and
one ounce of dry powdered yeast have each been found
satisfactory agents in prevention and treatment of the disease.
Findings obtained by these workers in their dietary
studies have led them to the conclusion that pellagra is
due, not to too much or too little protein, carbohydrate,
fat or mineral constituents, but to a fault in some accessary food principle of the class known as vitamins,
that have been designated by Dr. Goldberger and his
associates as the P. P., or pellagra preventive factor.
Some students of nutrition have since classified it as
Vitamin F; others as Vitamin G. Meat; fresh lean
meats, salmon, tomatoes, wheat germ and yeast are
known to contain it in more or less abundance. This
vitamin has been found to be soluble in water and alcohol,
and not appreciably affected by heat. It seems that the
pellagra problem, as a result of these studies, will become
more and more simple, as the various foods are studied,
and their values, as sources of this vitamin, be publicly
made known.

properly recorded at the County Court House, and
nearly 2,000 feet of this pipe line has been placed.
The contractors, Dupree & Sons of Rome, Ga., completed their part of the construction of the new building
for colored females, November 20th. Our Engineering
Department is doing the electrical wiring, plumbing and
heating for this building, and we hope to have it ready

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

for occupancy by February 15th, 1929. Mention has
been made of this building in a previous section of this
report.
Two new pavilions for tubercular patients were constructed of Wood: one for white females and other attached as an addition to pavilion A for white males; provides adequate room for our tubercular patients for the
present.
The erection of the 150,000 gallon steel water tower,
by J. S. Schofields, Sons & Company of Macon, Ga., to replace the 40,000 gallon tower that has been in use 52
years, provides a much needed equipment.
Some of the work laid out for this department had to
remain unfinished, on account of effort to complete the
new building for colored females so that it could be occupied as early as possible to relieve the greatly overcrowded condition in this department, and to provide
room for others waiting admission.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward shows a total disbursement for maintenance during the year of $1,191,871.25,
including internal income of $13,388.04. On the basis of
deducted internal income, the per-capita cost for the year
was $233.55 or .6398 cents a day compared to .6162 a
day the previous year.
A detailed analysis of the receipts and disbursements, both for maintenance and special appropriations,
accounts payable and receivable at the end of the year;
also statement concerning productions of farm, garden
and dairy with estimated values and cost of operation,
etc., are included in the Steward's report.
Farm, Garden and Dairy
On account of the severe cold weather last winter
and the excessive rains throughout the year, productions
of vegetables and farm products were not as good as the
previous year. The pecan trees that we had budded four
years ago are beginning to grow and bear a little. We
gathered 2,900 pounds pecans; enough to give every
patient some during Christmas.

The dairy herd has not yet become entirely negative
to tuberculin test, as two reactors were found when last
test was made in November. We are now milking about
one-third of the cows we were before we discovered the
infection in 1927; hence, we have continued to buy milk
to make up our deficient supply.
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of the
amount of food stuffs and other products raised on the
farm, garden and dairy during the year.
Religious Services
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon
at 3 o'clock by the Chaplain, Rev. J. F. Yarbrough, pastor of the Milledgeville First Methodist Church, until
November 1st, after which date these services were conducted by his successor, Rev. F- H. Harding, the pastor
of the Milledgeville Episcopal Church.
Funerals of remains of patients who were interred
in the Sanitarium cemetery were conducted by the Chaplain.
Needs of the Institution Requiring Special Legislation
1. The name Georgia State Sanitarium should be
changed to Georgia State Hospital, or preferably Milledgeville State Hospital, in order to conform to names of
similar institutions in other States, and to keep it identified from other similar institutions that may be founded
in other sections of the State in the future.
2. An appropriation should be made available as
soon as possible for the erection of buildings to accommodate 300 white females, 200 white males and 200 colored males.
3. Another State hospital should be founded near
Atlanta, and the State divided into two zones to be served
by these institutions.
4. An appropriation of $10,000 should be provided
for making an addition to store house, which is now too
small to serve the needs of the Sanitarium.
5. An appropriation of $12,000 should be provided
to buy piping and material to run water main to the
colony.

30

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

6. A central heating and power plant would be
more economical and more efficient, and is most earnestly recommended.
7. Amusements and diversions are important aids
in the treatment of mental patients. The present amusement hall is too small. It has been in use more than
forty years and could be made into an occupation therapy
room for white females. An appropriation should now
be provided to erect a larger and fire-proof amusement
hall; estimated cost $50,000.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I wish to thank the members of the
Board of Trustees for their constant and unfailing interest in the welfare of the institution. I also wish to express my appreciation and thanks to those officers and
employees of the Sanitarium who have been loyal in their
support and faithful in the discharge of duty, because
they share greatly the credit for the success of carrying
on the work throughout the year.
I also wish to thank the women's clubs and others
who were thoughtful enough to send various gifts to the
patients during Christmas season.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Medical Department
DR.

R. C. SWINT, Superintendent,

DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report of the medical department for the year, 1928.
During the year one thousand and ninety (1090)
patients were admitted. Of these, eight hundred and
thirty-one (831) were first admissions and two hundred
and fifty-nine (259) were re-admissions. The percentage for each in the classification scheme is given in tables
one and two. Fourteen (14) were diagnosed as not insane. Four of these were placed in the mental deficiency
group. Two of these four were classified idiots. Of the
remainder one was a drug addict, a second was an alcoholic, a third was a psychopath and seven
did not present
sufficient symptoms to be classified Jas insane. Some of
the histories received with patients are extremely poor
and this at times is a drawback to classification and even
to diagnosis of insanity. The unclassified group is
rather large for the same reason.
The percentage of re-admissions is somewhat higher than last year. Of the two hundred and fifty-nine
(259) re-admissions fifty-four (54) had been previously
admitted to other hospitals, either private or public.
Twenty-two (22) patients were sent by order of
court. The criminal charges were as follows:
Murder
2
Shop lifting
1
Wife beating
1
Assault with intent to murder
5
Obtaining money under false pretenses..

Psychosis with epilepsy
1
Psychosis with cerebral arteriosclerosis
2
General paralysis of the insane

22

The death rate for the year was 6.3 per cent of
those treated. Arteriosclerosis was the leading cause of
death; general paralysis of the insane was second while
epilepsy and broncho pneumonia occupied third place.
Two patients committed suicide by hanging. One patient was attacked by« another and died as a result of the
attack.
Eight hundred and ninety-seven (897) patients were
furloughed. Not included in this number were twentytwo (22) patients who returned to the institution to renew their furloughs and ten (10) patients who were discharged as not insane. One hundred and twenty-eight
(128) patients were furloughed as restored and five hundred and forty-six (546) as improved, making the combined recovery rate 67.3 per cent as compared with 62.8
per cent for the previous year.
The same general policies in treatment have been
followed that have been heretofore pursued.
After nearly two years trial, the ketogenic dietary
treatment of epilepsy has been discontinued because of
the lack of encouraging results.
The treatment of general paralysis by the use of
foreign proteins has been continued. The tabulation below gives some indication of the results. In the number
are included all patients who were given full treatment
or who died before treatment was completed. Not included are a few who are still under treatment and two
who escaped before treatment was completed. No results whatever were seen in the colored males. It ap-

33

pears that a febrile reaction was obtained less easily in
this group than in some of the others. In one instance
a dose of 40 billion dead bacilli were given intravenously
with a resulting temperature of 103. The improved
group included all degrees of improvement. Ten of
these have been f urloughed and are now at home:

The resignation of Dr. Saye, pathologist, has badly
crippled the laboratory work. The technicians, however,
are rendering valuable service in that department.
A small pamplet which deals with some of the practical points in nursing the insane has been prepared and
distributed to the attendants. It is expected that short
courses will be given to all those who enter this service.
It is thought twice per year will be sufficient. Quizzes
will be supplemented by lectures and demonstrations.
The need of such work has been long recognized but the
practical fulfillment of such a need is a matter of no
small difficulty. Lectures alone do not fill the need.
This will not be in conflict with the regular training
school which continues to operate as formerly.
The weekly clinic in Macon has been held each Friday. This work is in its tenth year and more and better
service has been given than ever before. During the
year 109 new cases were seen and a total of 428 visits
were recorded. The visiting physician is a member of
the Staff of the Macon City Hospital as consultant in
mental and nervous diseases and gives a course of instruction in nursing mental and nervous diseases to the
nurses at the Macon City Hospital and the Middle Georgia Sanitarium.
The Elberton School clinic has been held each month
during the school year. A total of 192 visits have been
paid to this clinic. This included 108 first visits. The
cooperation of the local agencies has been splendid and
it is felt that this clinic, not only offers an opportunity

34

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

for mental hygiene but it is also an educational opportunity for the visiting physician. The attention of the
Common Wealth Fund Board has been attracted and they
have made an offer of assistance in the sum of $1,800 00
per year provided local agencies raise $600.00 per year.
This amount is to be used to pay a visiting teacher or
social service worker.
One member of the staff has recently begun work
at the State Reformatory for Boys. There is a very
large amount of work that might be done at that place
and we hope for some results.
During the year classes in psychology from Teachers
college at Athens; Emory University; Mercer University
and Morris Brown (colored) visited the institution and
were given clinical demonstration and lectures in abnormal psychology. The graduating class in medicine from
Emory University also paid us a visit.
The Elberton clinic, the work at the boys reformatory, the visit from the college and university students,
are all a result of a growing popular interest in psychology and mental diseases. The requests for assistance were voluntary. The institution is less isolated
than it once was and time seems right for judicious expansion in mental hygiene.
I wish to thank you and the Board for assistance
rendered and I make grateful acknowledgment to the
whole medical service for efforts at improvement.
Respectfully,
N. P. WALKER, M. D.,
Clinical Director.

DEAR SIR:

The following is the annual report of the Georgia

beginning January 1, 1928 and ending December 31,
1928.
, ,

The record of the year's work has been unusually
good, the class work of high order and practical
The admission standards have been gradually raised
to require a full high school education. We have had no
difficulty in obtaining sufficient students and have a long
waiting list.
The Alumnae Association, each year, offers a prize
of all expenses to attend the State Nurses Association
Convention, to the nurse making the highest average during her junior year. The prize this year was won by
Miss Samantha Renfoe.
A "home coming" for all graduates was held May
16, 1928, and about fifty nurses returned to enjoy a reunion with friends and classmates. An excellent barbecue was served at six o'clock P. M. in a park near the
hospital after which all attended the annual commencement held in the Amusement Hall.
,.,,,..
The Annual Commencement was held at eight thirty
P. M., May 16th.
.
Dr Stewart Roberts, a well known physician of Atlanta gave an excellent address on the Trend in Medicine
which was enjoyed by the class and large audience.
Hon John T. Brantley, Blackshear, Ga., President
of the Board of Trustees, who has delivered diplomas to
all of the sixteen graduating classes except one, presented the diplomas. The hospital pins were presented
by Dr. Leatus Sanders, Commerce, Ga., a member of the
Board of Trustees.

EIGHTY SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
Milledgeville, Georgia, January 1, 1930
To his Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor,
Sir:The Beard of Trustees of the Milledgeville State Hospital, formerly known as Georgia State Sanitarium, respectfully submits herewith its report on the conduct and management of this institution for the year ended December 31,
1929, it being the eighty-sixth consecutive report to be so
made.
The usual quarterly meetings of the Board were held at
the Hospital during the year and its committees visited it
monthly. The well being of the patients, as well as the
financial interests of the State, have received its careful
thought. Every wise economy has been practiced and the
Board is happy to believe that the Hospital is slowly but
steadily advancing in efficiency. It observes in the officers
of the Hospital that which evidences a full appreciation of
their responsibility and of their opportunity to render a service of distinct value in its humane purpose.
Report of Superintendent
The annual report of the Superintendent and Resident
Physician hereto attached will supply essential details of the
movement of population, work of the medical department,
expenditures for the support of the Hospital, etc. The duties of this officer have been well and faithfully discharged
and he merits, as do the officers serving under him, the
warm commendation of the Board for the excellent record
of the year.
Patient Population
The resident patient population at the end of the year
was 5,291, a gain over the preceding year of 222. The paroled patients numbered 678, thus bringing the total enrollment up to 5,969 and establishing a new record for the Hospital. The pressure on the Hospital for admission shows
no abatement, the applications numbering 1,683, as against

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

1,591 last year. Admission was denied to 379 applicants
because of the unrelieved congested condition of the Hospital, which makes it imperative that admission be restricted
to cases offering hope of benefit from hospital care and to
dangerous cases.
Congested Buildings
The situation of the Hospital in the matter of room grows
more and more serious. One of the new buildings provided
for in the appropriation of 1927 is completed and occupied.
The second is practically completed, but must be furnished
before it can be used. An appropriation of $50,000.00 was had
in 1929 for this purpose and for the payment of interest due
its contractors and when this is paid the building can be
utilized. At the same time an appropriation was had to
provide additional dormitory buildings for the use of patients, three such being needed for the relief of the present
congestion. The uncertainty surrounding the payment of
this last appropriation is such that the Board does not feel
authorized in going forward with plans for their erection,
sore as is the need for them. The Hospital must, therefore,
continue to crowd 5,300 and more patients into buildings
which can safely accomodate but 4,000. The danger of this
condition needs no comment, for it is painfully apparent.
Cost of Maintaining the Hospital
The daily average number of patients in the Hospital during the year was 5,219, while that for 1928 was 5,046, an
increase of 173 patients. These were cared for at a cost
to the State of $229.56 each, which covers every expense
connected with the Hospital. This cost is $3.99" less than
that of 1928. The daily per capita cost was $0.6289.
The Hospital has lived within its income, assuming the
appropriation for maintenance to have been paid in full, and
has on hand an unexpended cash balance of $2,770.07 in addition to the usual quantity of supplies. The farm and garden operations were of substantial assistance to this end.
So satisfactory a result is witness to the vigilant work of
the business officers headed by the Steward.
Financial Condition
The year was one of grave anxiety because of the inability of tiie State Treasury to meet the demands on it. Payments to the Hospital were not made at regular intervals
nor in equal monthly installments as has been the custom

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
for many years and because of this it has not been possible
to carry on its business in orderly fashion. The year closed with $250,000.00 due the Hospital for maintenance and
unpaid. The ability and willingness of the Hospital Treasurer to come to its aid saved a situation which bade fair
to become tragic and for this disinterested service the
Board makes to this valued officer its grateful acknowledgement. The overdraft with the Hospital Treasurer is
now $203,832.67 and in addition there is due for supplies
and accumulated payrolls the sum of $82,335.91. To the
usual items in the Board's estimates of cost, interest must
now be included.
The continued failure of the State, through lack of
funds, to complete the payment of the building appropriation had in 1927, due for payment in 1928 and 1929, gives
the Board great embarrassment, for it is thus unable to discharge the debt due the contractors of the second building
erected thereunder. There is due on this appropriation a
balance of $287,746.42, which must be paid in full before
the Board can come to the well deserved relief of the contractors. In the meantime, the interest cost on this debt
is mounting. It will be recalled that authority was given
the Board to proceed with the erection of this building and
that payment of this and other past due appropriations was
legalized at the last session of the Legislature.
In the same year was had another appropriation to be
used for a much needed enlargement of the Hospital water
supply and on it there is still to be paid a balance of
$34,052.42. For economical reasons, the work under this
appropriation is being done by the Hospital and not by contract. The payments received have permitted the purchase
and laying of a duplicate 12 inch water main three and three
quarter miles long and also the erection of a steel stand
pipe. There remains to be purchased and installed settling basins, filters and electric pumps and this can only be
done when payment is had of the balance due on this appropriation. The speedy completion of this work has become a matter of first importance, so that a danger which
now threatens the water supply may be averted. This danger is in the age of the niters now in use whose walls, weakened from long, constant use, show signs of collapse.
There are two of these and both are worked to capacity to
keep the Hospital supplied. The new ones will have to be
installed and put into use before the old ones can be torn
down and rebuilt. The Board very earnest!}' urges the

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

quick payment of this balance so that this work may be
completed.
Death of Engineer DeSaussure
The Hospital was deprived by death on October 25, 1929
of the services of one of its most useful and capable officers,
Engineer T. H. DeSaussure. For forty-five years he gave
it of his best. His work was characterized by its thoroughness. He was remarkably proficient in the fields of civil,
hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and sanitary engineering
and in addition he was an architect of no mean ability.
Many of the present buildings of the Hospital were erected
under his supervision and its only fireproof building recently added was built to his plans and specifications. He has
left behind him many monuments to his skill. As fire chief,
he was responsible for the safety of the buildings and their
inmates from fire and the good record of the Hospital in this
respect is history. He merited and enjoyed the full confidence of the Board of Trustees. He gave to the Superintendent a ready obedience and an unquestioned loyalty.
He was held in affectionate esteem by all. His death is a
distinct loss to the Hospital.
Second Hospital for the Insane
There can be but little doubt but that the time is at hand
when the State must found a second hospital for her insane,
whose number grows steadily larger. The present hospital
even with the new buildings provided for in the appropriation referred to herein erected and put into use, can not
properly care for more than its present population of patients, nor is it wise that it should attempt to do so. Provision must be made for the steady increase and wisdom
points to a second hospital as the only solution. The Board
urges that due consideration should be given this important
matter, for it is important alike to society and to the afflicted.
Hospital for Epileptics not Insane
The State's hospital program for the future should include suitable provision for the epileptics who are not insane. The Hospital receives those who are insane, but no
provision is had by the State for the sane among them.
Their condition is indeed pitiful, for the nature of this malady, due to its repulsive manifestations, is such as to cause
them to be shunned and avoided by the well. Its tendency

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

9

is toward insanity and unless it is checked those who suffer
from it must ultimately become charges upon the State for
life. Because the self helpful labor of the inmates of such a
hospital as is suggested can be made to contribute substantially to its support, the burden to the State for such support
should not be heavy. The interest of this Board arises from
its knowledge of the pitiful condition of these sufferers.
In Conclusion
The Board is well aware of his Excellency's interest and
sympathy in the work committed to its care. It has done its
best to cope with a most unusual financial situation. This
great family of the afflicted for which it is responsible must
be fed, clothed and tended and funds to this end must come
from the State. It knows of no way by which the Hospital
can support its present population on any sum materially
less than the appropriation made for this purpose. It can but
hope that the State will be able to make full payments to
the Hospital regularly and punctually throughout the coming year, but, if for any reason it should appear that such
payments can not be made, then his Excellency is asked for
instructions as to how the Board is to proceed to meet such
a condition. Any substantial reduction in the cost of maintaining the Hospital necessarily means a substantial reduction in the number of its patients. To bring this about will
involve so much human suffering and want that it should
not be considered until every possible resource of the State
has first been exhausted.
In submitting this report the Board does so in the hope
its acts are such as to warrant his Excellency's approval. It
has been a privilege to the members of the Board to serve
the Hospital to the best of their ability.
Commending this house of mercy to the protection of the
Great Physician, this report is respectfully submitted.
JOHN T. BRANTLEY,
President.

MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JAN. I, I93O.
THE HONORABLE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
MLLLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL,

Gentlemen:
In accordance with your rules I have the honor of submitting the eighty-sixth annual report of the Milledgeville

changed the name of the Georgia State Sanitarium to "Milledgeville State Hospital" during the biennial session the
past summer. The present name conforms to good psychiatric nomenclature and definitely identifies the hospital from
any other state institution that now exists or may be founded in the future.
The reports of the heads of Departments give a general
review of the activities of the hospital throughout the year
by departments, and these reports are appended hereto as
follows:
The Clinical Director,
The Dental Department,
The Superintendent of Nurses,
The Pharmacist,
The Engineer,
The Farm Steward,
The Treasurer,
The Steward.

The overcrowded condition of the hospital caused the refusal of admission of many urgent cases that necessarily resulted in considerable suffering on account of the delay in
admission, but the total admissions for the year were 139
greater than the previous year, and the total applications for
admission were 1,683 compared to 1,591 the previous year.
The building for colored females, described in eighty-fifth
annual report, was completed and opened on February 18,
1929. This provided room for 420 colored females and relieved the greatly overcrowded wards in that department,
and since the opening of this building, we have had room to
admit all colored female applicants. Before the completion
of this building, the colored female wards were more greatly
overcrowded than other wards of the hospital.
We now anticipate completion and opening in two or
three months, the Psychopathic Hospital, L. M. Jones
Building. This will provide room for about 240 white patients, accommodating both males and females. This building has been referred to and described in eighty-fifth annual
report. We are proud of this building. It has long been
needed, and we think it will make quite a contribution to the
hospital's facilities for meeting the very complex problems
of the unfortunate charges committed to the hospital's care
and treatment.
The mental disease problem in this state, as in other
states, is gradually growing. The $500,000.00 appropriated
by the legislature last summer for additional buildings, if
available now, would provide buildings adequate for the
present overcrowded wards, but it will not provide for the
future growth of the problem. Therefore, this feature of the
problem must be anticipated if we ever expect to relieve the
present overcrowded wards, so that we may have adequate
room so essential for the proper care and treatment of mental patients. In this connection, it might be of interest to
note some facts about the growth of the problem. The following tabulation gives the growth of the hospital and the
state by decades since 1846, when state care was adopted:

A study of the above tabulation gives an idea of what may
be anticipated. What is to be done about it?
I am personally convinced that we have enough statistical information to prove that psychopathic inheritance is a
predisposing cause of mental disease, and no mistake will be
made if we concentrate our energies on the problem of prevention of bad heredity. There are many psychiatrists and
other scientists who do not place so great emphasis on heredity, but rather emphasize environment. Every student of
the subject realizes the importance of both, and the most
optimistic environmentalists cannot disprove the many facts
that are known concerning the laws of heredity, while there
are many things concerning inheritance not yet fully understood. If an individual is born of good inheritance, the environment problem will be partly solved, because every individual is a part of and contributes to the making of his environment. It seems that we might at least pay as much attention to human betterment as we do to animal and plant life.
The best and most practical remedy that medical science
has to offer toward the prevention of bad heredity, is surgical sterilization of those afflicted with certain types of mental disease—the feeble-minded, syphilitics and criminal recidivists. Legal restriction of marriage is not practical. Segregation is too tremendous an economic problem to consider. Twenty-three states have already enacted a sterilization law, and has not enlightenment and civilization advanced far enough in Georgia for the public mind to face
and solve this problem in keeping with the times?
Another mental hygiene measure that would prove helpful to the problem would be the establishment of psychopathic wards to general hospitals and creating a psychiatric
department of these hospitals. The experience of some general hospitals has demonstrated that this may be done successfully, and without much expense or much change in
hospital structure. It seems that this might be successfully
done in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Macon, and probably

14

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

other larger cities of the state. The general hospital could
occupy a most strategic position in the field of mental hygiene, making quite a contribution to a program of cure and
prevention. A well equipped general hospital already has
many facilities needed for the diagnosis and treatment of
mental disorders. They would form earlier contact with patients, and particularly so called "nervous" patients with
vague mental symptoms, and also extend benefits to the local community in helping to educate the public to look upon
mental disease in the same way it regards physical disease,
thereby giving the individual afflicted with mental disease
the equal opportunity to get well that the less unfortunate
individual with only physical affliction. Also, such a program would be of value in educating the general practitioner to some of the problems of mental patients, thereby
rendering him more interested and efficient in the treatment
of them.
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a general review
of the activities of the medical work with statistical tables
that contain much information of interest.
I am pleased to state that the medical work of the hospital
was carried on in the usual efficient manner, and that the
general health of the patients were as good as could be reasonably expected, and that the population did not suffer With
any epidemic disease. With the greatly overcrowded wards.
the responsibilities and work of the medical staff, nurses
and attendants have necessarily been greater, and only careful attention and faithful performance of duty made possible
the results obtained.
850 patients were furloughed during the year, and of this
number 364 were white males, 287 were white females, 86
colored males and 113 colored females. 219 of this group
were restored and 500 improved, making a total of 719 furloughed as restored and improved, or 57.6 per cent, based on
the total admissions for the year.
574 patients were discharged from the records during the
year. This does not refer to deaths, but patients who had
been furloughed and were not returned to the hospital before the expiration of twelve months. Of this group, 303
were males and 271 females. 148 were restored, 343 were
improved, 77> unimproved and 10 as without psychosis.
There were 453 deaths during the year. Of this group, 117
were white males, 104 were white females, 134 were colored
males and 98 were colored females. Based on 6,298, the total

M1LLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

IS

number under treatment during the year, the discharge rate
was .09 per cent., and the death rate .07 per cent.
We feel that we made a little progress in occupation therapy work during the year. Three new occupation rooms
were fixed up and put into operation in the white female department: two in the Powell Building and one in the female
convalescent building. A renewed interest and activity in
this work was also shown in the white male department
with work rooms on the fourth floors of the Whittle and
Cabaniss Buildings, and the work shop at the white male
occupation park made a creditable showing in furniture
making.
Quite a bit of interest and activity was directed toward
amusement of patients,—dances, moving picture shows,
band concerts, group picnics and walks. Quite an interest
was taken by patients in Field Day, conducted by Miss Cecile Humphrey, Social Worker. Many contests were engaged in by patients and they greatly enjoyed them.
The Training School for the feeble-minded was continued in operation with Misses Bonner and Pendleton as
teachers. This school, in addition to teaching the children
something, provides a play ground for them.
The Hospital's extra mural activities were continued during the year with the psychiatric clinics at Macon, Elberton
and Georgia Training School for Boys. Classes from the
University of Georgia, Emory University, Mercer University and Georgia State College for Women visited the hospital and were given clinics and practical demonstrations
of abnormal psychology. Also, the Superintendent addressed the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs at Macon and the
Kiwanis Club in Atlanta, and the Rotary Club of Americus,
and the Second Assistant Physician gave two addresses to
Parent-Teachers Associations at Macon.
A few changes occurred in the medical staff during the
year. Junior Assistant Physician W. F. Dobyns resigned to
accept position with Veterans Bureau at Memphis, Tenn.,
and we secured the services of Drs. E. W. Schwall and C. R.
Smith as Medical Internes.
The Training School for Nurses was kept up to its usual
efficiency, and its successful operation is due mainly to our
efficient Superintendent of Nurses, and her report gives pupil admission requirements, plan of instruction, an outline
of curriculum and other information.
We hope that the training course for attendants, begun
this year, will prove of great value to the medical service,
and we are looking forward to the time when every ward in

16

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

the hospital will be in charge of a graduate nurse or graduate attendant.
Religious services for patients were held as formerly each
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. F. H. Harding, until
November 1, at which time the four Protestant pastors of
the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches of Milledgeville, begun to rotate monthly as Chaplains, to conform to resolution passed by the Board of Trustees at their quarterly meeting in October.
Pellagra Study
The dietary study of pellagra, begun by the United States
Public Health Service, 1914, under the general supervision
of Dr. Joseph Goldberger, was continued during the year.
But, medical science and societv suffered a great loss in the
death of Dr. Goldberger, January 17, 1929. He was one of
the most unassuming and yet one of the greatest medical
men I ever came in contact with. He was peculiarly possessed of those qualities so essential for a research worker.
We were fortunate to have this work continued under the
charge of Dr. G. A. Wheeler, who has been working with
Dr. Goldberger for many years.
The work completed the past year has included tests of
superheated dry yeast and canned Haddock, as pellagra
preventatives. "The yeast was first exposed to the heaf of
the autoclave at fifteen pounds pressure for three and onehalf hours. By this process the antineuritic factor, or Vitamin B, was destroyed. The finding that the pellagra preventive value of yeast is not noticeably affected by this heat
confirms previous studies along this line and paves the way
for a study of the value of the various canned foods in respect to their value in pellagra. The Haddock study has
shown that eight ounces per day as a dietary supplement, is
hardly sufficient to prevent a recurrence, but that twelve is
quite adequate."
During the latter part of the year, in co-operation with
the Clinical Director, Dr. Wheeler begun a preliminarv
study of the influence of diet on epilepsy.
Dental Department
Two full time dentists were employed during the year

There were 468 specimens of cerebrospinal fluid examined, of which number 358 were routine specimens secured
from patients referred to in Table I. A routine examination
of the cerebrospinal fluid is made in the case of each patient
whose blood reacts positively to the Wassermann test. Of
the 11 white females in above tabulation with 4 plus positive blood Wassermann. 5 or 45.4 per cent, had positive reactions in spinal fluid. Of the 22 white males with 4 plus
positive blood Wassermann. 19 or 86.3 per cent, had positive reactions in spinal fluid. Of the 63 colored females with
4 plus positive blood Wassermann, 15 or 23.8 per cent, had
positive reaction in spinal fluid. Of the 60 colored males
with 4 plus Wassermann of the blood, 41 or 68.3 per cent
had positive reaction in spinal fluid. General average 55.9
per cent, positive serological reactions. This gives an idea
of the incidence of neurosyphilis in patients admitted to the
hospital with syphilis.
Engineering Department
The sudden death of Engineer T. H. DeSaussure, October
25, 1929, caused a great loss to the hospital, He was depend-

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

19

able and efficient, and rendered forty-six years of efficient
and faithful service to the hospital. Since his death, the
work of this department has been satisfactorily carried on
by Assistant Engineer W. S. Jett, and his report gives a
general review of the principal activities of the department
during the year. The upkeep and repairs of the physical
plant of the hospital requires quite a number of more or less
skilled workmen and a large amount of varied work. As in
previous years, quite a bit of authorized and outlined work
remains unfinished and will be carried to completion the
next year.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives a detailed analysis of income and expenditures during the year. The exhibits and
schedules give in detail the condition of all accounts. The
annual per capita cost was $229.56 compared to $233.55 the
previous year. The daily per capita cost .6289 cents compared to .6398 the previous year.
The hospital experienced a very difficult year, financing
the construction of the L. M. Jones Building without the
funds appropriated for this purpose; also during the latter
part of the year, the State Treasury was unable to make
prompt payment of maintenance ; hence the year ended with
the Treasury owing the hospital quite a sum and the hospital owing many unpaid bills.
Farm, Gardens and Dairy
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of the food
stuffs produced during the year. We had rather favorable
seasons for food crops during the year, and were fairly successful. Among the items produced were 21,532 bushels of
corn, and this should be enough to feed our stock and provide meal for the hospital for the year.
Conclusion
In concluding this report. T wish to thank the members
of the Board of Trustees for their support and interest in the
hospital. I also desire, at this time, to express my appreciation for the valuable assistance rendered by the officers and
employes of the hospital throughout the year.
Also, the women's clubs of the various districts of the
state and many others are due the thanks of the hospital for

20

their thoughtfulness in remembering the patients with many
gifts during the Christmas season.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.
Dr. R. C. Swint, Superintendent,
Dear Sir:
The following pages contain the medical report for the
year, 1929.
Twelve hundred and twenty-nine (1,229) patients were
received; one hundred and thirty-nine (139) more than the
previous year. Of these nine hundred and forty-seven (947)
were first admissions and two hundred and eighty-two
(282) re-admissions. Many of those readmitted had been in
other institutions either public or private.
The larger groups (manic depressive and dementia praecox) were in about the same ratio as for the previous year.
Among the smaller groups there was an actual increase of
29 or 35% in the number of cases classified as psychosis
with cerebral arterio-sclerosis and actual increase of 25 or
55% in the number diagnosed as psychosis due to pellagra.
Nineteen (19) patients suffering from encephalitis were admitted. These form but a small part of the number of patients received, but they are of a pitiable nature. Stramonium seems to have given best results in treatment.
Six (6) patients, three (3) of whom were criminals, were
considered not insane. Three (3) of these six appeared to
belong to the psychopathic group.
Seventeen (17) patients were sent by order of the court.
The criminal charges were as follows: arson 2; assault and
battery 1 ; accusation for escape 1 ; assault with intent to
murder 2; assault with intent to rape 1; burglary 1; giving
worthless checks 1 ; larceny 4; murder 3; vagrancy 1. Three
of these were classified as not insane.
The recovery rate does not have a very definite meaning
unless the length of the furlough period is considered. As
heretofore the recovery rate is the ratio of those furloughed
as improved or restored to the number received. The recovery rate for the year was 58.50% under the twelve months
furlough regime. For 1928 it was 67.3. Had the furlough period been three months as it was some years ago the recovery rate would have been lower for the reason that one hundred and twenty-six (126) patients were returned after more
than three months but in less than twelve months. Under

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

21

the three months rule these patients (126) would necessarily have been recommitted and thus the number of patients
received by admission increased by this number. The discharge rate would have been affected in the opposite way
since these patients (126) would have been discharged after
being away from the institution for three months.
The recovery rate was lower than for the previous year.
This seems to be accounted for in part at least by the increased proportion of colored patients received. In 1928 the
colored patients constituted 32.66% of those received while
in 1929 they made up 39.30%. The recovery rate for the
whites in 1929 was 73.9% against 72.6% for 1928. For the
colored the rate for 1929 was 34.5% against 56.4% for 1928.
The average rate for the two races for the past seven years
has been 65.5 and 45.0 respectively. The increase in the ratio of colored patients received is not to be taken to mean
that there has been a corresponding increase in insanity
among the colored race but is due rather to increased capacity in the colored department.
There were four hundred and fifty-three (453) deaths,
7.06% of all patients actually under treatment. For 1928 the
death rate was 6.3%. The leading assigned causes of death
were: arterio-sclerosis ninety-three (93) ; general paralysis
of the insane seventy-three (73) ; tuberculosis fifty-seven
(57) ; pellagra thirty-four (34) ; cerebral hemorrhage thirtythree (33).
The treatment of paresis by the use of foreign proteids
has been continued. Malaria has been given a second trial
and is still being used. We have been unable to secure the
favorable results reported by others but there has been
enough encouragement to continue the methods of treatment.
In September and March short courses of instruction in
nursing the insane were given the attendants who had entered the service in the preceding six months. This consisted of quizzes, lectures and clinical demonstrations with
patients. This is considered a matter of much importance
but up to this time it has been difficult to organize the work
on a satisfactory basis. If it were possible to put each new
attendant under an experienced and capable head it would
probably help considerably. The above course was given to
159 attendants. Dr. Yarbrough lent valuable assistance in
the matter.
The weekly clinic held in Macon on each Friday afternoon has been continued by a member of the staff. One
hundred and forty-nine (149) patients reported at thite

22

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

clinic. The total number of patients' visits were four hundred and ninety-eight (498). The visiting psychiatrist continues lectures on nervous and mental diseases for the three
nurses' training schools in Macon and holds clinical demonstrations for these nurses in this hospital. He has been
called on to give talks before various civic, church and
school organizations in that city.
Five (5) monthly school clinics were held at Elberton.
A total of one hundred and four (104) patient-visits were
paid to this clinic, fifty (50) of which were first visits. The
patients presented problems of delinquency, physical handicaps, finance and home situations. The visiting staff member was called on in a number of instances to see adult
psychotic cases at Elberton or in its vicinity.
The examination of the inmates of the State Reformatory
for boys has continued by a member of the staff.
The activity of the laboratory technicians is testified to by
the fact that more than 10,000 examinations were made in
that department. The details are given in their report.
The customary tabulations will be found on following
pages.
I here make grateful acknowledgement to all who have
contributed towards making our medical service an efficient
one.
Respectfully,
X. P. WALKER, M. D.,
Clinical Director.

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
January 1, 1930.
Dr. R. C. Swint,
Superintendent
Dear Sir:
The following is a report of the Training School for
Nurses for the year beginning January 1, 1929, and ending
December 31, 1929.
We have had a greater number of applications for entrance to the school this year than ever before; therefore,
could be more select in our choice of students. The selections were made according to age, physique, and standing
in high school.
Thirty-three applications were received from which eighteen were admitted. Four of these withdrew for various reasons, two failed in examinations, and one was not accepted
after serving part of the probationary period.
One junior and one senior withdrew from school during
the year.
Miss Ora Blanche Taylor, Milledgeville, Ga., made the
highest average during her junior year. As a reward the
Alumnae of the school paid her expenses to the Georgia
State Nurses' Association Convention, which met in Rome,
Ga., in November.
The Alumnae, with a membership of fifty-five, continued
its loyal support to the school and participated in all the activities of the Sixth District Nurses' Association as well as
the State Association.
The Annual Commencement was held May 23, in the
Amusement Hall. Dr. R. C. Swint, Superintendent, presided.
The processional was played by the Hospital Band and
Miss Gladys McMichael, Beuna Vista, Ga., sang two beautiful solos accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Lovic Pierce
Longino.
Dr. Richard Orme Flinn, pastor of the North Avenue
Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, Ga., gave a most interesting
address to the class and large audience. Hon. John T. Brantley, Blackshear, Ga., President of the Board of Trustees, in
his usual charming manner, delivered the diplomas, and Dr.
T. M. Hall, Milledgeville, Ga., Vice-President of the Board,
in a few well chosen words, presented the hospital pins.
The following nurses received diplomas:

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Engineer
Dr. R. C. Swint,
Superintendent and Resident Physician.
Dear Sir:
Please find below the annual report of the Engineering
Department for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The new negro building has been completed and is now
occupied. All plumbing, steam fitting and electrical work in
this building was done by this department. The steam for
this building is supplied from the old negro building boiler
room, the efficiency of the boilers in this place having been
increased by placing hand stokers under them. An 8" water
main has been run from near the old negro building boiler
room to the new building. Six-inch branches have been run
from this main to four fire-plugs placed around the building
in accordance to the recommendation of the Southeastern
Underwriters Association.
Water closets have been installed in the two cottages near
the new negro building. These two cottages have been
painted on the outside.
All of the barns and outhouses at the dairy have been
given a coat of whitewash.
The cottage at the dairy, and the one at the mule lot have
been reconditioned. Two rooms have been added to each.
Two ventilating fans have been installed in the Amusement Hall. These fans were paid for by the Occupational
Therapy Department.
The cottage located at the south end of the front yard of
the Green Building has been renovated and painted. A portion of two rooms has been partitioned off to form a toilet
room, and a water closet and lavatory installed therein.
The steps from the railroad level to the lawn level in front
of the Green Building have been relaid. Some of the treads
in this flight are of concrete, there not being enough of the
old granite treads to make the increased height caused by
the lowering of the railroad tracks.
Two cafeteria units have been installed in the dining
rooms of the Twin Buildings. This includes two electrically
operated dish-washers.
The old concrete floor in the negro building kitchen has
been taken up and a new one laid. All of the cooking equipment was reset; new pipe, fittings, valves and a steam trap

being used. One of the old cast iron kettles was replaced by
a new aluminum kettle of the same capacity.
A brick room, 16 feet by 20 feet for use as a pastry room,
has been built on the east side of the negro budding kitchen
This room has a concrete floor, with a center floor dram, and
is connected to the main kitchen by a ten-foot arch.
A bath room, containing a sink, a shower and two water
closets, has been built between the negro building kitchen
and the boiler room. This room connects directly to the
kitchen, and is for the use of the patients and negro employees that work in the kitchen.
The officer's quarters on the third floor of the Male Convalescent Building have been painted throughout.
A plaster partition has been built in the hall on the third
floor of the officer's quarters in the Female Convalescent
Building.
. „ .
A corrugated, galvanized iron garage has been built in
the rear of the L. M. Jones Building. This garage has three
car stalls. Two of these stalls replace the two garages that
were located between the Female Convalescent Building
and the L. M. Jones Building.
.
A tile storm-sewer drainage system has been installed
around the front and the west side of the 1917 negro
building. This system takes off all of _ the storm water that
falls on and around this part of the building.
All of the floors in the old negro building, with the exception of the bath-room floors, have been repaired or renewed.
Also all windows and door frames have been repaired or renewed This same work is .now being done in the Green
Building. The floors in the Green Building are being stained
and waxed as soon as completed.
A flight of concrete steps, thirteen treads high, has been
built from the Twin Building Road to one of the officer s
cottages on this road.
One unit of the Twin Buildings water heating apparatus
has been retubed. Also the water heater at the Green Building, and the water heater that supplies the center portion of
the T O Powell Building have been retubed.
The work of laying the duplicate 12" cast iron water mam
from the waterworks to the Sanitarium will be completed
about the first of March, 1930. Quite a lot of time has been
lost from this work, due to the fact that the labor was required to do the steam work at the new negro building, and
also to do the work around the Female Convalescent Building, preparatory to supplying steam to the L. M Jones
Building.

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

A new 1,000 gallon-per-minute, motor-driven centrifugal
pump has been purchased for the waterworks. This pump
will deliver the clear water to the storage reservoir at the
Sanitarium. As soon as the necessary valves and fittings are
secured, this pump will be put in service.
A brick suction well has been built at the waterworks, to
be used in connection with the new clear water pump.
Anticipating the lowering of the water in the river on account of the breaking of the dam at the power plant by the
city of Milledgeville. the intake well at the river has been
remodeled to receive two cast iron sluice gates. These gates
will be placed in the well at a lower level than the present
openings. This will allow the flow of water in the well to be
controlled from the top of the well, no matter how much the
river is lowered by the breaking of the above mentioned
dam. The two gates have been purchased and will be installed during the coming summer.
Once a month during the year, samples of our water were
sent to the State Board of Health for bacteriological analysis. The Board of Health states, that to be safe for drinking,
a water should not show pollution in over 10% of the total
number of samples examined. During this year 190 10 c. c.
portions of our water were examined. Of this number, a
fraction over 4% showed pollution.
The Plumbing and Electrical Contractors have completed
their work on the L. M. Jones Building. The General Contractor has also completed his work, with the exception of a
few minor jobs.
The main sewer line from the Jones Building was installed under contract, under the supervision of this Department. This sewer line is 1,475 feet long, and has a maximum
depth of 36 feet 6 inches. The sewer is laid with a 1% grade.
The steam for the L. M. Jones Building is supplied from
the Female Convalescent Building boiler room. In order to
accomplish this, the following work was done :
A concrete tunnel was constructed between the Female
Convalescent and the Jones Buildings. This tunnel carries
the steam and the steam-return pipes.
A new hand stoker boiler was installed in the boiler
room. This necessitated the enlargement of the boiler room
building, and the erection of a larger chimney. The chimney
erected was a radial tile chimney, 100 feet high.
A new pump-pit was built at one side of the boiler room,
and two motor-driven, centrifugal boiler feed pumps installed therein.
An 8-inch cast iron water main has been run from the

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

rear of the Female Convalescent Building to the Jones
Building.
In addition to the ordinary repair work required continually throughout the institution, the carpenter shop, the furniture shop, the shoe repair shop, the broom factory and the
paint shop have been kept busy making and repairing the
various articles required in the different departments.
Respectfully submitted,
W. S. JETT, JR.,

Report of Steward
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1929
Milledgeville, Ga.,
December 31, 1929.
Dr. R. C. Swint, Supt.,
Milledgeville State Hospital.
Dear Sir:
I submit herein a comparative financial report of the condition of the
MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1928-29; also comparative detailed statements of receipts and disbursements
and other data for these periods.
It appears that the operation of the hospital during these
years was confined within its income by narrow margins,
but that its cash deficit of $12,122.16 at the end of the 1928
period, was displaced with a balance of $2,770.07 at the close
of 1929, provided its maintenance appropriation had been
paid in full to the end of the year.
According to the books and accounts in this office the income of the hospital for the year 1929, less INTERNAL
INCOME, was $1,200,635.17, and its expenditure $1,198,064.83; a difference of $2,570.34 in excess assets. On this
basis its per-capita cost compared favorably with that of
1928 (The appropriations for the two years being the same)
and is as follows :
1928
1929
Annual per-capita cost
....'$233.55
$229.56
Daily per-capita cost
63,98
.62,89
The daily average number of patients increased from
5,046 in 1928 to 5,219 in 1929, a difference of 173, and while
supported at a lower annual cost than in 1928, necessitated
an increased expenditure for the year of $39,713.88.
A total of $325,906.58 was spent during the years 1928-29
in the construction of the Psychopathic or Jones building.
$293,380.14 of which was in 1929, and $202,300.17 in the
construction and equipment of the new negro building,
$12,045.45 of which was spent during 1929, making a total
expenditure of $528,206.75 against special appropriations
made in 1927-29 for new buildings, and leaving an available
balance of $21,793.25 for completion, equipment, etc.

11

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

Of the appropriations for new buildings, aggregating
$550,000.00, the state has paid the sum of $262,746.42, leaving an unpaid balance of $287,253.58 now due. The payment
of $262,746.42 made by the state against these appropriations when applied to the sum expended for the construction and equipment of new buildings leaves a balance of
$265,460.33, the greater part of whicn has been temporarily
borrowed from banks by contractors and others with requisitions on the Governor used as collateral. A further payment has been made on this expenditure by a disbursement
of some $39,927.67 from the regular maintenance fund, and
the balance is still due contractors, individuals and corporations for labor and material supplied.
The sum of $45,947.58 was spent during 1928-29 against a
special appropriation of $80,000.00 made in 1927 for the erection of a lank and tower, the enlargement of the waterworks system, the laying of a duplicate water-main, etc.;
leaving a balance of $34,052.42 available for the completion
of this work. Of this expenditure of $45,947.58, the state has
paid the sum of $45,118.01.
The following exhibits and schedules set forth in detail
the condition of all accounts, and are used in support of the
figures above given.

No. 3. Production, Farm, Garden and Dairy.
We have been financially embarrassed throughout the
year, not alone because of our inability to promptly pay our
officers and employees, but our creditors as well.
The financial condition of the state treasury and its failure to pay our maintenance fund when due, has made it impossible for us to promptly pay our current obligations, and

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL_

73

we closed the year with more than $200,000.00 in unpaid accounts, payrolls, etc.; many of which were more than three
months past due, and all payable from our regular mamtenance. We also closed the year with more than $^A),UUU.UU
due us on special appropriations, the greater part of which
had been borrowed and spent.
The non-payment of our appropriations both regular and
specials upon their due dates has further handicapped us, in
that it has necessitated the payment of interest on borrowed
money and on past due accounts. Since there is no provision
made for the payment of this item of expense, it must of
necessity be incorporated in OUR EXPENDITURE and
deducts'from our maintenance. The failure of our creditors
to invoice accrued interest at end of fiscal year, accounts for
the small amount shown in report, and the full amount of
this unforeseen item of expense must appear in report for
1930.
Strict economy has been practiced throughout the year,
and such distribution made of the limited funds available
for our support as would best tend to maintain the confidence and good will of our officers and employees, as well
as that the hospital has always heretofore enjoyed from the
business people of this and other states.
Respectfully submitted,
HOMER BIVINS, Steward.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1931.

To His Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor.
Sm:
The Board of Trustees of Milledgeville State Hospital,
charged with the care of the State's insane, respectfully
submits herewith its eighty-seventh annual report
covering the conduct and management of ^ inrtitafaon
for the year 1930. The annual report of the Superintendent and Resident Physician, accompanied by those ot
the heads of departments, forms its principal part and
presents the history of the year ""nteresting d M
The record made is an excellent one and justly entitles this
official, and his assistants, to high praise. The Hospital
continues to make steady progress, even though it be slow,
toward a greater efficiency in the humane purpose tor
which it exists.
The Patients
The year closed with 5320 resident patients in the
Hospital. The average daily number of such was 5^29,
an increase of 110 over the previous year It was
necessary to deny admission to 458 applicants, while 1052
were granted admission. Lack both of room and of funds
for their support made such denials imperative. The rule
of the Board severely restricting admissons to dangerous
cases, and to recent or acute cases, and even these
to vacancies caused by death or discharge, has occasioned
much distress in many instances, but hasbeen unavoidable The reports reaching the Board would indicate that
many of those to whom admission was denied are being
cared for in the county jails in the absence of local
hospital facilities. The Board deeply ^egrets this condition and again urges that the funds appropriated for
relieving it be made available at once.

Cost to the State
The operation of the Hospital in 1930 cost the State
$1,245,912.00, or $233.80 for each patient based on the
average daily number resident in it. Assuming the
appropriations made to it for maintenance to have been
paid in full it would appear to have lived within its means,
and to have closed the year with a surplus of supplies and
cash on hand of $157,619.00. Its good business management is thus attested. Unfortunately, however, these
appropriations have not been paid in, full and the year
closed with $380,000.00 yet due the Hospital on them,
and with it in turn due its creditors a correspondingly
large sum, on which interest is now accumulating. It has
been able to pay few supply bills since; June last. The
Board now records its appreciation of the generout treatment accorded the Hospital by its creditors in the extension of time of payment granted, and which has made
it possible to keep the Hospital open.
The problem of maintenance, because of the inability
of the State to discharge its obligations to the Hospital
punctually and in full, was not the only one to confront
the Board, for it was also faced by liabilities it could not
discharge incurred under the new building appropriation
of 1927, due for payment in 1928 and 1929, and which has
still not been paid in full. A second appropriation for
new buildings was made in 1929, and on the two the State
was due the Hospital at the close of the year $597,135.00.
There was also due it on the appropriation for enlargement of the pumping station made in 1927 a balance of
$34,881.00. In this situation the Board felt justified in
using a payment of $205,000.00 made on the 1929
appropriation to reduce the indebtedness incurred under
the older one and this was done. This payment left a
balance yet due on this indebtedness of $67,129.00. When
payment is made of the 1927 balance the Board will be
able to pay this debt in full and to restore the funds
borrowed from the new appropriation. It can take no
steps for the construction of buildings under the new
appropriation until this has been done.
In all, the State would appear to be due the Hospital
under all these appropriations the sum of $977,133.00.
Provision for 1932 and 1933
At its present rate of growth and with the new
buildings completed and in use, the Board estimates that
provisions must be made for 5700 patients in 1932, and

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

for 5900 in 1933. Because of the downward tendency in
the cost of supplies it believes that this increased number
of patients can be cared for within the estimated cost for
1931 and therefore recommends that an appropriation
for the next biennial period of $2,800,000.00 be granted,
one half of which shall be made available in 1932, and one
half in 1933.
The Plant
The Hospital continues overcrowded, its equipment
being unequal to the demand on it. This serious situation
is not new, nor has the Legislature faikd to act for its
relief as the building appropriation had in 1927 and 19^9
testifv. Three buildings were thus provided for, one ot
which is completed and in use, and a second completed
but not yet in use because of a lack of funds with which
to furnish and operate it. This second building is designed for use as a hospital and promises to be of great
worth to the medical department. The appropriation of
1929 orovides in error for but one building, and not lor
the three asked by the Board. The sum appropriated is
sufficient for the three and permission should be granted
the Board to erect them as soon as the appropriation is
paid The completion of all these buildings will relieve
the present congestion but will provide little room for
fUtU

Thfrgreat physical plant has been kept in the best
repair possible with the limited funds available to the
Board The great age of many of the buildings makes
this expense an item of no mean proportions.
A consolidated or central heating plant, combined
with an electric power and light plant offers attractive
economical possibilities and might wisely be given careSi consideration by the Legislature. The report of the
Board for 1928 presented an estimate of the cost ot
building and operation of such prepared by. ^i^rs °f
experience. The cost was then estimated at $367,500.00,
and the saving to be effected by it at $23,449 00 per
annum. No doubt the cost could now be revised downWarC

There should be a revision of the value on which the
fire insurance carried by the State on the plant is based
The replacement cost of the buildings is far in excess of
the original cost now the basis for this insurance, and
the State should be more fully protected for its own sake,
as well as for the sake of the Hospital.

10

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

The water supply of the Hospital is seriously
endangered because of the failure to complete the enlargement of the pumping station made possible by the
appropriation for this purpose had in 1927. This is due
to the failure to make payment to the Board of the balance
due on this appropriation. A part of this work has been
completed and is in use, but additional settling basins,
filters and pumps are yet to be installed. Water consumption by the Hospital now nears the capacity of the
present plant and is seriously endangered by the weakened
condition of the filters in use. The Board cannot too
strongly urge the necessity for making the balance due on
the appropriation available to it at once.
Other Building Needs
The report of the Clinical Director gives some indication of the growing use by the medical department of
occupation thereapy in the treatment given. Its worth
has been so abundantly demonstrated that the needs of
the department looking to its wider use should be fullv
supplied. The most important of the present needs is for
a larger amusement hall, the old one having long since
become too small for the present population. It is located
in one of the dormitory buildings and can be readily
utilized so that its abandonment will occasion no loss. A
new building of ample size and suitably equipped is
estimated to cost $50,000.00.
The Hospital in all the years of its existence has
never possessed a home for its Superintendent, and to
which he is entitled. The need for more room for administrative purposes and the fact that his present apartments are located on the second floor of the administration
building and are convenient for such use impels the Board
to ask an appropriation in the sum of $25,000.00 with
which to build such a home. He is the official host of
the Hospital and his residence should be ample in size and
in keeping with the dignity of his position.
Protection From Fire
The danger of fire is ever present in the Hospital.
One such was had during the year but without serious
results. With the exceptions of simple frame bulidings in
use on the farm and as tuburcular wards, and one
building of fire resistant construction, the buildings
housing patients are of brick and wood construction and

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

11

covered with metal roois. Practically all are three
stories in height. The Hospital has no fire escapes on
the outside. Those of the ladder type would be dangerous
to insane persons and those of the tube type of dubious
value. Reliance is placed on inside stair ways of wood
properly enclosed, and on fire doors, for the protection ot
the inmates. The Hospital has an organized, well
equipped fire department, and is supplied with water
mains well distributed throughout the grounds. A water
storage reservoir of 1,000.000 gallons capacity is kept constantly filled. The most practical form of protection
against fire, other than those had, is through sprinklers,
and to install these in all the buildings will entail a cost
estimated at $230,000.00.
Widening the Work of the Hospital
The Board continues to grant the use of members of
the medical staff to clinics in Macon and Elberton, conducted by the local medical bodies, to aid in the diagnosis
of persons showing signs of mental disorder and in prescribing proper care and treatment for them. The success
attending these clinics has led to the establishment ot
another in Athens, from which good results are expected
The expense thus far has been small. This work might
usefully be extended to all the large centers in the State,
and should be when funds to defray the cost are had. The
advice of the Hospital physician in such cases may not
infrequently serve to prevent a later commitment to the
^Insufficient funds and not lack of interest has kept
the Hospital out of another field of usefulness which
should be occupied, and this the after care of its discharged patients until mental strength is fully restored.
The newly restored mental case does not differ greatly
from the newly restored physical case, and both require
watchful oversight for a time. To subject such cases too
soon to the stress and strain of life is most unwise. The
Board hopes that through the organization of the smaller
counties into health districts to be supervised by health
officers that the way may be opened for this supervision
at the minimum of cost. In the larger counties in which
a well organized health service now exists this supervision
should not be difficult when once installed.
The Hospital School of Nursing is conducted with
such success as to keep the Hospital well supplied with
graduate nUrSes well trained in the care of mental and

12

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

nervous cases, and in addition to send forth into private
practice many others so trained. A service of distinct
value is thus rendered society.
Second Hospital for the Insane
It is very evident that the founding of a second
hospital for the insane is inevitable. This is shown in the
great and growing population of this Hospital, and in the
unceasing demand on it for admission. In addition there
are problems of management which make too large a
hospital most unwise. The founding of such second
hospital is a matter of such major importance as to
demand that its founding be preceded by careful study,
not only of the need but also of type and location. The
Board suggests the unwisdom of a much longer delay.
Law Amendment
The present provision for admission to the Hospital
as shown in Michie's Code Chapter 3, Article 2,
Section 3102, because of the confusion in its terms, should
be repealed. It seeks to create two classes of patients,
pay and pauper, the last being those possessed of estates
of less than $3000 in value. It sets up no method for
ascertaining the value of any property owned by those
seeking admission, and provides no means of collecting
from the estate of "pay" patients its "reasonable charge
for board and keep". No provision is had for those whose
estates may be exhausted in their support, or whose income may be unequal to the cost of such. It is not
retroactive and applies only to new cases. Its terms are
such as to prevent its enforcement. The Board does not
believe the law wise, and for these reasons:
(a) The State must of necessity place under
custodial care its insane citizens regardless of any
property they may possess. The best interest of society
are so served.
(b) Patients possessed of property are already
taxed for the support of the State government, including
the Hospital.
(c) It is conceivable there may be cases whose
relatives will prefer to keep them out of the Hospital in
order to save the expense involved, and so endanger the
interest of society.
(d) It will serve to create within the Hospital a
class distinction among the patients capable of working
a great harm to those of the "pauper" class.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

13

It is the well considered opinion of the Board that the
wise policy of the State is to admit free of charge all bona
fide citizens of the State. If any citizen is to be taxed for
the cost of his support therein it might well be those who
possess an ample estate with no one dependent on them.
These however, will be few in number and the income
from 'such source will be small. Of the admissions in
the year just ended only 11 are reported as having an
ample estate and all of these doubtless had dependents
Should the burden of supporting the Hospital be too great
a tax on the income of the State then the Board suggests
that consideration might be given to the policy prevailing
in many of the States of pro-rating the cost, on some
equitable basis, between the State, and the County committing.
For these and other reasons the Board recommends
the repeal of the law cited and the enactment ot the
following as a substitute:
STATE HOSPITAL FREE TO WHOM: The said State
Wr^nital shall be free to all bona fide citizens of the State
w^may be legally adjudged insane, or afflicted with mental
disease.No paralytic invalid, epileptic, idiot imbecile drug
addict or alcoholic addict shall be committed or admitted
to it.
A history must accompany all applications for admission
to the said State Hospital which shall show a just and adequate
reason why such admission should be had, and if .such reason
is not given, the Superintendent may refuse admission.
The relatives or friends of any person admitted to the
said State Hospital who may desire to furnish them with
clothing extra food and other creature comforts shall be
allowed the privilege of doing so at their own cost but under
sucT rules and regulations as the Board of Trustees may
prescribe,
If any person committed and admitted to the said State
Hospital shall be possessed of an estate equa to his support
and sha 1 be without near and dependent relatives such estate
shalfvest in the Board of Trustees to be expended for his use
and support; provided, however, that in the event of his discharge any residue remaining of such estate shall be restored to
him: and it being further provided that injhe event of his
death the title to such estate shall then vest m the btate
Hospital

In view of the biennial sessions of the Legislature
some expense might be saved the Hospital by the substitution of biennial for the annual reports now required by law to be made by this Board. The Board
recommends that the law be so amended.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

Resignation of Trustee, Thomas M. Hall
The resignation from the Board of its Vice-President,
Dr. Thomas M. Hall of Milledgeville, because of ill health,
deprives it of the services of one of its most useful
members, and it records the fact with deep regret. The
demands of a large practice did not prevent the punctual
discharge of his every duty to the Hospital. In, his search
for renewed health the kindly interest of trustees and
officers alike follow him.
Death of Trustee, C. C. Brantley
It is the sad duty of the Board to record the passing
of one of its members, the death of Mr. Charles Conn
Brantley of Valdosta having occurred on July 28, 1930,
after a brief illness. He became such member by appointment of Governor Joseph M. Brown in 1913, and in 1921
was made its Secretary. His wise judgment of men and
matters, a faithful service ably rendered and a warm
heart gave him high place in the esteem of his associates,
and cause him to be greatly missed.
In Conclusion
In submitting this report of its stewardship the
Board thanks his Excellency for the support given it in, a
most trying year. Responsibility for the well being of
so many of the helpless and dependent is not a light one,
especially so when funds for their support is lacking, but
the Board has made a most faithful effort to meet it. It
can but hope the dark days of the Hospital are safely
passed and that the coming year will see its financial
needs fully supplied. It makes due acknowledgement of
the courtesy shown it by the State Auditor, and of the
sympathetic attitude of the State press. Its members
esteem it a high privilege to have rendered this service to
humanity and once more unite in commending this great
family of the afflicted to the protection of the Heavenly
Father.
By order of the Board of Trustees,
JOHN T. BRANTLEY,
President.

Of the 5,320 patients in the Hospital December 31,
1930, 8 are clinically grouped as Traumatic psychoses,
composed of 6 white males, 1 colored male and 1 colored
female.
75 are grouped as Senile psychoses, composed ot J
white males, 33 white females, 5 colored males and 28
colored females.
164 are grouped as psychoses with Cerebral Arteriosclerosis, composed of 68 white males, 22 white females,
42 colored males and 32 colored females.
128 are grouped as Dementia Paralytica, composed
of 62 white males, 11 white females, 33 colored males and
22 colored females.
25 are grouped as psychoses with Cerebral Syphilis,
composed of 14 white males, 5 colored males and 6 colored
females.
,
7 are grouped as psychoses with Huntington s
Chorea, composed of 3 white males, 3 white females and
1 colored female.

38 are grouped as psychoses with Pellagra, composed
of 8 white males, 4 white females, 1 colored male and 15
colored females.
32 are grouped as psychoses with other bomatic
Disease, composed of 9 white males, 11 white females, 6

1 993 are grouped as Dementia Praecox, composed of
556 white males, 719 white females, 249 colored males and
469 colored females.
36 are grouped as Paranoia or Paranoid Condition,
composed of 12 white males, 20 white females, and 4
colored females.
414 are grouped as psychoses with Epilepsy, composed of 131 white males, 148 white females, 89 colored
males and 46 colored females.
#
30 are grouped as Psychoneurosis, composed of J
white males, 19 white females and 2 colored males.
37 are grouped as psychoses with Psychopathic
Personality, composed of 15 white males, 12 white
females, 8 colored males and 2 colored females.
708 are grouped as psychoses with Mental Deficiency,
composed of 259 white males, 265 white females, 119
colored males and 65 colored females.
445 are left Unclassified, composed of 98 white males,
179 white females, 84 colored males and 84 colored
females. A further study of this group will doubtless
find that the majority of them have developed symptoms
that will put them in the Dementia Praecox group.
1 white male is provisionally grouped as Mental Deficiency without Psychosis, 1 white female and 1 colored
male are grouped as Epileptics without psychoses.
It is noted from the above information that 1,993
patients or 37.4% of the Hospital population are afflicted
with Dementia Praecox, and 1,092 or 20.5% with MamcDepressive psychoses, and that these two mental disorders comprise over one-half or 57.9% of the Hospital
Population. When it is further noted that these two
mental disorders constitute 54.3% of the total admissions,
the location of the clinical groups containing the major
problems in mental disease is more clearly indicated.
The total number of patients in the Hospital at the
end of the year is only 29 more than at the beginning, but
the daily average was 5.329 compared to 5,219 the
previous year, or an increase of 110.

18

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

Admissions
1,510 applications for admission were received, compared to 1,683 the previous year, a decrease of 173. We
think this decrease probably due to the Ordinaries of the
various Counties having knowledge of the overcrowded
condition of the institution, rather than a decrease in the
incidence of mental disease in the State.
Account of overcrowding, 458 were refused admission, compared to 379 the previous year, an increase of
79.
952 were admitted, compared to 1,229 the previous
year, a decrease of 277. Of the 952 admitted, 752 were
first admissions and 200 were readmissions, i. e. had
previously received treatment in this institution, other
State hospitals or private mental hospitals.
It might be of interest to note also that 337 or 35.3%
of the admissions had been engaged in some form of
agricultural occupation, 26 or 2.7% had professions, 140
or 14.7% had occupations of domestic and personal
service, 6 previously employed in public service, 45 in
trades and transportations and the remainder had
miscellaneous occupations.
848 or 89% of the total admissions were native
Georgians, and only 5 were born in foreign Countries.
Of the 752 first admissions, 214 had a common school
education, 44 high school and 15 college. 265; had urban
and 487 rural environments. 11 were said to be in
comfortable financial circumstances, 127 marginal and the
remainder financially dependent, or unascertained.
Furloughs, Discharges and Deaths
We are sometimes asked if there are not many
patients in the Hospital who might be discharged. Of
course, this is a question that daily confronts us, especially
as the Hospital is now so greatly overcrowded and many
applicants are awaiting admission. Each member of the
Medical Staff is charged with the responsibility of
promptly reporting the names of patients as soon as they
are well enough to leave the Hospital, so that the matter
of their furlough or discharge may be brought up for
consideration.
A recent diagnostic tabulation of the patients in the
Hospital shows only one patient provisionally grouped as
mentally deficient (feebleminded) without psychosis and
two others as epileptics without psychoses.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

19

During the year, 779 patients were furloughed, and
of this number, 194 were restored, composed of 97 white
males, 43 white females, 28 colored males and 26 colored
females. 451 were improved, and of this number, 162
were white males, 145 white females, 61 colored males
and 83 colored females. Based on total admissions,
20.3% were furloughed as restored and 47.3% improved,
making a total of 67.6% restored and improved, compared
to 57.6%, the previous year, an increase of 10%.
553 patients remained out of the Hospital beyond the
12 months' furlough period and were discharged from the
records. Of this number, 164 were restored, composed of
91 males and 73 females. 319 were improved, composed
162 males and 157 females. Based on total admissions,
17 2% were discharged as restored and 35.5% as improved, making a total of 50.7% discharged as restored
and improved.
A total of 423 deaths occurred during the year, a decrease of 30 compared to the previous year.
Capacity of the Hospital
It seems that the overcrowded condition of the wards
of the institution which has existed for many years, and
the necessity for the refusal of admission, on account of
overcrowding, to many very urgent applications, should
be sufficient proof that the capacity of the plant is inadequate to meet the needs of the State's mental disease
problem. At the close of the year there were over 100
patients in the County jails and more than that number
being cared for by relatives and friends awaiting
admission because of overcrowding and no room. Such
a condition necessarily results in considerable suffering
and is poor business from an economical standpoint, as we
have learned from experience that the sooner the
hospitalization of individuals afflicted with mental
disease, the better chance they have for recovery.
Another and recent study of the capacity of the
Hospital, making a liberal estimate but complying with
sanitary and other hospitalization requirements, shows
that the population of the Hospital should not exceed
4,403; exclusive of the new Psychopathic Hospital (L. M.
Jones) Building. This building was completed in April
and partly furnished during the Summer, but could not
be occupied on account of inability to obtain maintenance
appropriation. When this building becomes occupied it
will add 240 beds to the capacity of the institution.

The greatest overcrowding is now 425 in, the White
Female Department, next the white male, then colored
males and colored females. When the new colored female
building was opened in February, 1929, there was enough
overcrowding in that department to fill it up, leaving
some vacancies on wards in the older buildings. These
vacancies have been filled and this department is now
beginning to again overcrowd.
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a review of
the medical work during the year. No serious epidemic
occurred among the Hospital population. No marked
changes were made in the routine and methods of treatment. We are gradually expanding Occupation Therapy.
Staff meetings were conducted daily at 9 A. M.,
except on Sundays, by the Clinical Director on reception
wards where a summary of the mental and physical
examinations of new admissions were read and _ the
various problems of the cases discussed. Also sometimes
abstracts of histories of patients to be furloughed or discharged were reviewed and discussed.
While a great many scientific investigations from
various viewpoints have been and are now being made of
the most common types of mental disease, yet, their etiology
and pathology still remain problematical, and, therefore
their treatment is largely empirical; hence, in their treatment we utilize psychotherapy, occupation therapy,
drug therapy, organotherapy and other therapeutic resources of medical science. Until one has made a serious
and prolonged study of human behavior and its dynamic
problems in relation to mental disease, he can have no
adequate conception of its complexity. In no other branch
of the medical science is it so essential that the human

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

21

organism be studied as a whole, i. e., body and mind,
keeping in mind that man's greatness and sanity is not
determined by his physical body alone, but mainly by
virtue of his ability for creative thinking, constructive
acting and capacity for adjustment. Furthermore, that
bodily conditions and diseases may effect one's mind, or
hinder the restoration of a mental disorder, and that a
fair test of mental health obtains when one does adjust
to environment and has that state of mind which permits
him to approach his maximum efficiency and happiness
with the minimum amount of friction and effort.
In the treatment of mental disease, the old adage
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is
beyond doubt, true. Therefore, preventive measures
should not be neglected, and they may be found in mental
hygiene and eugenics. A mental hygiene program should
include the home, the school, social life and business
activities. Eugenic measures should be adopted, looking
to the prevention of bad heredity. We have enough convincing information to indicate that an inherited predisposition is the foundation for mental disorder, and that
modern medicine teaches that the condition necessary for
a good mind is the inheritance of such germ plasm from
one's progenitors as will yield a brain and nervous organization capable of high grade development to individual
and social usefulness and the protection of that brain and
nervous organization from injury and the submission of
it to influences favorable to the development of its
powers. The best remedy that medical science has to
offer, at this time, for the prevention of bad heredity, is
surgical sterilization of those afflicted with certain types
of mental disease—the feeble-minded, syphilitics and
criminal recidivists, as recommended in, a previous report.
Pellagra Study
The dietary study of pellagra, begun by the United
States Public Health Service in 1914, was continued
during the year, under the supervision and direct charge
of Dr. G. A. Wheeler of the United States Public Health
Service.
This study during the year has consisted of a continuation of the test of individual food stuffs for their
pellagra preventive value. A study of the mature onion
was completed and showed no appreciable protection. A
study of canned turnip greens, canned spinach, canned

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

english peas and canned string beans was begun, and,
while these studies are still in progress, those pertaining
to turnip greens and spinich have advanced far enough
to indicate that they possess some capacity for protection.
In addition to the above, co-operation was extended
to the Clinical Director in the study of the influence on
epilepsy of a diet low in the antipellagric vitamin. A
group of ten epileptics were brought under observation,
eight of whom showed a pronounced reduction in the
number of epileptic seizures while on a diet of this
character. While the therapeutic value of such a diet is
limited by the fact that symptoms of pellagra will, in
time, appear, the results obtained, however, constitute
an important contribution to the study relating to the
influence of metabolism on epilepsy in which many
students of neuropsychiatry are interested.
Changes in Medical Staff
Dr. Chas. E. Dowman, of Atlanta, was added to the
Staff as Consulting Neurological Surgeon.
Interne W. J. Burdashaw resigned to accept position
with United States Veterans Bureau.
Junior Assistant Physician C. R. Youmans resigned
to engage in general practice.
Junior Assistant Physician J. C. Statham resigned
to accept position with United States Veterans Bureau.
Assistant Physician U. S. Bowen resigned to accept
position with United States Veterans Bureau.
Dr. J. D. Wiley, Interne, but later employed by United
States Public Health Service, was elected Assistant
Physician.
Drs. G. K. Cornwell, Raymond Suarez and M. F.
Langston were appointed Internes.
Dr. Langston will report for duty January 5, 1931,
as Dr. Statham's resignation does not become effective
until January 3, 1931.
After Dr. Bowen's resignation, the Clinic at Boys'
Training School was temporarily discontinued, but will
be resumed soon after the beginning of the new year.
Training School for Nurses
There are 32 student nurses in the School of Nursing,
10 of whom were in the Senior Class, 11 in the Junior and
11 in the Freshman. Since the establishment of the School
of Nursing, we have graduated 165 women and 2 men,
making a total of 167.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

23

The School was kept up to its usual standard during
the year, and detailed report will be found in Superintendent of Nurses' report in subsequent pages.
Dental Department
Two full time dentists were employed during the
year, and their report shows 8,607 total number of
operations and treatments. Of the 8,607 operations, 4,187
were extractions, 2,083 patients treated and 360 calls
to wards.
We regard the dental work as an important aid in
treatment, therefore,we have them to examine the mouths
and teeth of new admissions soon after they are admitted.
School for Feeble-minded
The School for the feeble-minded children was continued in operation during the year with Miss Mary
Bonner and Miss Anna Belle Pendleton as teachers. The
average daily attendance was 18.
The children were taught simple mental work such
as reading, writing, writing numbers, cutting, pasting
and color work, as well as industrial work such as sewing,
etc.
Improvement and Repairs
A detailed review of the repairs and improvements
to the physical plant is given in the Engineer's report.
On accout of lack of funds, much needed repair work
had to be postponed.
The Business Department
On account of the State Treasury being unable to
meet the requirements of the maintenance appropriation
and the added $250,000.00 indebtedness to maintenance
for the previous year, a very difficult year for the
operation of the Hospital has resulted. The bills for
supplies and other expenses could not be met in the usual
orderly way; thereby causing considerable embarrassment to the creditors and the Hospital, and in addition
has cost the institution considerable interest on delayed
payments. The institution was operated within the
appropriation.
The per capita cost for the year was $233.80, the
daily cost .6405 cents compared to .6289 the previous year,

24

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

an icrease of .0116 cents per day. The Steward's report
in subsequent pages has exhibits and schedules that give
an analysis of income and expenditures and other detailed
information.
Farm, Garden and Dairy
The Farm Steward's report gives information concerning the food stuffs raised during the year. The
drouth during the Summer reduced the amount of farm
and garden products that probably would have been made
if the seasons had been more favorable.
Religious Services
The religious services for patients were conducted as
formerly on Sunday afternoons at 3 P. M. by the pastors
of the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian
Churches of Milledgeville as Chaplains rotating monthly.
In addition to holding religious services, the Chaplains
conducted funeral services and performed other duties
that were required of them.
Needs of the Hospital
1. If the institution is to be orderly and successfully
operated, it is necessary that provisions be made for the
prompt monthly payment of the maintenance appropriation.
2. There is an urgent need for all unpaid special
appropriations for buildings and other improvements, so
that balance on Psychopathic Hospital (L. M.
Jones) Building may be paid, the waterworks addition
completed, as present wooden filter tubs are decaying
and filter capacity inadequate for needs of the growth of
the Hospital, and to erect new buildings to provide room
for overcrowding and new admissions.
3. A new and larger amusement hall is needed to
comply with the growth and modern requirements of the
institution.
4. A central heating and power plant.
5. Automatic Sprinkler system in certain buildings
for fire protection as recommended in previous reports.
6. Immediate steps should be taken looking to the
founding of another State hospital in another section of
the State as recommended in a previous report. It seems
that this is impertative if the mental disease problem in
the State is to be humanely and modernly provided for.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

25

7. Change in the law, clarifying section 3, Acts
1918, and eliminating the hinted at pay feature. Everything considered, we believe it would be wiser for the
Hospital to remain free to all resident citizens of the
State afflicted with mental disease.
8. It seems that, according to present laws, if a
person is committed to the Hospital, and even though discharged as recovered or not insane, he is still legally insane unless judicially decided otherwise, and persons
having business dealings with the person formerly committed must bear the burden of showing him sane at time
of contract. I therefore, recommend that a law be enacted
to read somewhat as follows: Whenever,a person who
has been committed to the Milledgeville State Hospital
shall be discharged therefrom, as recovered or as not
insane, he shall be presumed to have been restored to
sanity and capacity to manage his or her estate.
Conclusion
In concluding this report, I desire to express my
appreciation to the Board of Trustees for their encouragement, support and unselfish devotion to the welfare of the
Hospital. I also desire at this time to thank the officers
and employees who have been faithful in the discharge
of their duties and other friends and organizations who
have manifested an interest in the welfare of the institution.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Report of Clinical Director
JANUARY 1ST,
DR.

1931

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent,

DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report for the Medical Department for the year 1930.
A total of nine hundred and fify-two (952) patients
were admitted. Table No. 2 shows the actual number
classified under each group and the percentage of each.
Seven hundred and fifty-two (752) were first admissions
and two hundred (200) were readmissions. A considerable
number of the readmissions had been admitted to either
private hospitals or other state hospitals. Table No. 3 gives
actual number and percentage of each group of the first
admssions.
Ten (10) criminal patients were sent by order of
court. The charges were as follows:
Assault and battery
1
Assault with intent to kill
1
Aiding other prisoners to escape
1
Forgery
2
Larceny
1
Murder
2
Rape
1
Not given
1
One of these ten patients was found to be not insane.
Of the total of seven diagnosed as not insane two were
drug habitues, two were mentally deficient and one belonged to the psychopathic group.
The actual number of patients treated was 6349 and
was made up as follows:
Resident population at end of previous year
5291
Admitted
952
Returned (furloughed in 1929)
106
The deaths numbered four hundred and twenty-three
(423) or 6.6 per cent of those treated. The average of the
death rates for the five year period ending with and including 1929 was 6.91. The leading causes of death for
the year and the number assigned to each were as follows:
Arterio-sclerosis and cerebral hemorrhage 95, general
paralysis 50, tuberculosis 50, epilepsy 36, pellagra 27.
On an average there are from 60 to 80 patients confined
to bed on account of tuberculosis. From 90 to 100 others

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

27

are bedridden for the most part on account of arteriosclerosis and cerebral hemorrhage. In addition the infirmaries are well filled with acute medical and surgical
cases.
For purposes of comparison, the recovery rate is
estimated in the same way as in years past and consists
of the ratio of those improved and restored at the time of
furlough to the number of patients received. Of the
seven hundred and eighty-sevein (787) patients
furloughed, six hundred and forty-five (645) had either
improved or recovered giving a recovery rate of 67.7
The average of the recovery rates for the five year period
ending with and including 1929 was 59.34. The above
figures do not include twenty-nine (29) extensions of
furlough.
The discharge rate presents a different set of figures.
This is made up of the number of patients who remained
out of the institution for the length of the furlough period
which is twelve (12) months. The ratio of those discharged as recovered or improved to the number received
was 50,7.
The treatment of general paralysis by the use of
typhoid vaccine has been continued. While we have not
obtained the results reported by other institutions and
clinics we have not thought it wise to abandon its use.
Malaria has been used from time to time but its superiority
over nonspecific protein therapy has not been demonstrated in our hands. In December the serology, blood
and spinal fluid, of twenty-one (21) general paralytics
was repeated. These patients had been in the institution,
for periods varying from seven months to 17 years. The
blood and spinal fluid were completely negative in ten. In
one other the blood was two plus and the globulin test was
one plus, otherwise the examination was negative. In
still another there was no abnormality other than a two
plus spinal fluid. Three of these patients had been in the
hospital for less than ten months and as might be expected the findings were still positive throughout. Ten of
the remaining eighteen were negative throughout. All
twenty-one of these patients are still general paralytics
despite any serological changes. In at least one large
clinic in the United States patients who have no mental
symptoms but do show serological changes are classed as
asymptomatic paresis. The criterion of improvement is
the clearing up of the blood and spinal fluid, there are
obviously no mental symptoms to clear up. The patients

28

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

that we class as general paralysis are of quite a different
type and are not necessarily well though the serology may
be rendered entirely negative. Various forms of therapy
have been used in the treatment of these patients including malaria, typhoid vaccine, mercury, arsenic and
iodides.
One may, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, assert
that in recent years the amount of literature dealing with
the treatment of general paralysis is five times as great
as that dealing with the treatment of manic depressive
and dementia praecox combined. General paralytics deserve the best that can be done for them but so do those
sufferng from manic depressive and dementia praecox.
The number of general paralytics in other hospitals is
doubtless higher proportionately than in ours. The
following figures illustrate the comparison in our own
hospital:
G. P M.D.&D.P.
Percentage of all admissions 1930
7.14
54.40
Percentage of total population
Dec. 1930
2.04
57.90
Percentage of increase in population
in five years..95
76.00
The patients suffering from general paralysis have
received vigorous treatment, perhaps too vigorous in
certain instances.
From a strictly numerical and
economic point of view general paralysis in our hospital
is not in the same category with manic depressive and dementia praecox and the economic side of our work has
and will continue to play an important part. The substance of the above is that while we are obligated to give
our general paralytics the best possible treatment, other
larger groups have not been neglected. The actual
number of cases of general paralysis in the institution at
the end of the year was 128; the number of manics and
dementia praecox combined 3085.
The short courses given the new attendants in
preparation for their work has been continued. As heretofore the course consisted of quizzes, lectures and demonstrations. The course was given in March and September.
Seventy-two (72) attended. Instruction in the same line
but based on a somewhat better principal is the habit
of one of the physicians who for two years has had weekly
conferences with his head attendants. At these meetings
various problems both general and specific have been

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

29

discussed. Particular attention has been given to symptomatic treatment with some very happy results in cure
and amelioration that cannot be attributed to any
other source. This is .after all the real source of knowledge concerning the teatment of mental diseases per se.
It is intensely practical and deals directly with individuals
as well as with groups. Successful nursing of mental
diseases is bound to be more a matter of nursing indviduals than in the case of physical diseases.
Another effort not required by rule but undertaken
as extra work is that of a small group of nurses who four
years ago opened a small commissary. This has been
patronized by patients and employees. Up to the present
time more than four thousand dollars ($4000.00) in
profits have been spent for such things and occassions as
seemed wise. Hundreds of dollars have been spent for
music for dances which the patients ask for. Nine
portable victrolas with records to correspond, eight
radios, prizes and refreshments for card parties, seasonal
parties, subscription to thewty-three (23) magazines and
papers, outfits for base-ball and volley ball are some of
the things provided. During Christmas, 1930, inexpensive
but acceptable gifts were provided for more than one
thousand (l'OOO) patients from this source. These particular patients were selected because they were not expected to receive anything from home. The gifts went
to both white and colored and were not bought in a haphazard way. The wishes of the patients were ascertained
in every possible instance. The child like simplicity of
the things asked for was quite striking and shows that the
Wishes of the patients may be easily overshot. Fiftythree (53) asked for strings of beads; twelve (12) wished
for dolls; two hundred and fifteen (215) desired snuff
and tobacco and nearly all asked for candy.
Others have gone beyond the prescribed limits of
their duties to help in some way to lighten the burdens of
the patients or promote their recovery. It augurs well
for the hospital that these things are so. There can be
nothing cold blooded in such work. The personal attitude
of those in the medical service towards the patients is a
factor that cannot be put on paper nor can its effect
be tested in the laboratory but there should be just as
much satisfaction in bringing a so-called deteriorated
dementia praecox to a state of remission as doing the
same thing for a case of general paralysis and the
physician or nurse who helps to do this in the one case

30

deserves credit as well as he who brings; it about in the
other.
No machine can run forever without repairs and a
continuous supply of energy. Occupation therapy cannot successfully continue without the added energy that
comes from interest and stimulation. For this reason
this form of treatment is apt to lag. As a whole there has
been an improvement in this direction. The best results
have been obtained in those instances where patients
were carefully selected and occupation combined with
other forms of treatment such as diversion and personal
contact. The articles produced in the various departments are of considerable moment. In the female department among other things made were 26544 garments,
992 pieces of embroidery, 679 paper flowers, 506 hand
painted pieces, 276 crocheted pieces, 268 reed baskets and
30 rugs. In the white male department at the Park, 1541
articles were made and 294 repaired. Among the most
important articles made were 128 substantial rocking
and straight chairs made of oak, 369 basket containers,
14 ironing boards, 478 basket bottoms, 52 hoe handles, 63
axe handles and 41 settees. From the garden connected
with the park were gathered 6846 pounds of butter beans,
6676 pounds of tomatoes and 264 quarts of strawberries.
The dry weather cut the vegetables quite short. Among
the articles repaired were 21 chairs and 143 wheel
barrows. In the other male departments 882 chairs were
reconstructed, rebottomed or painted. From willow
grown on the premises 251 baskets were made. There
has been a marked increase in amusements and other
forms of entertainment. This is due almost entirely to
the funds derived from the commissary already mentioned.
This form of treatment has a place that is just as definite
as occupation.
The work at the State Reformatory for boys has been
temporarily discontinued. The clinics at Elberton and
Macon have been continued. In November another
monthly school clinic was opened at Athens and although
only two sessions have been held prospects for usefulness
are encouraging. At Elberton clinics were held for six
of the school months. There were 67 first visits and 50
return visits. At request the visiting psychiatrist saw
a number of frank mental cases in the vicinity. At Athens
there were 19 first visits by school children. Six adult
mental cases were also seen in the city and the vicinity.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

31

At the Macon Clinic which is held each Frday afternoon there were 484 visits, first visits 156, return visits
328. The visiting staff member has been called upon to
act in an advisory capacity to the juvenile court of that
city. He delivered five addresses before various organizations.
The technicians at the laboratory has continued to
do good work. An inspection of their report shows some
interesting things. The total procedures numbered
10,074.
The training school for nurses has been operated by
the superintendent of nurses with the co-operation of the
members of the medical staff and others.
Six classes from the colleges and universities of the
state visited the hospital for clinical instruction in abnormal psychology and allied subjects. A number of
addresses were delivered by different members of the staff
before P. T. A. associations and other civic organizations.
The calls for this kind of service seem to increase. Three
training school for nurses receive their instruction in
psychiatric nursing from a member of the staff and the
student nurses visit this hospital for clinical demonstration.
Successful administration of the medical department
depends on co-operation and due acknowledgement is
here made for such co-operation.
Respectfully,
N. P. WALKER, M. D.
Clinical Director

Two brick rooms were built onto the Twin Building
dining rooms. The dishwashing machines were moved
to these rooms, and a slop sink was installed in each room.
The old brick floor in the washroom section of the
negro laundry was torn out, and a concrete floor put down
in its place.
One of the old washing machines from the White
Laundry was overhauled, and installed in the Negro
Laundry. This machine is powered by an electric motor,
installed for the purpose. The motor and shafting was
installed with sufficient capacity to operate two more
washing machines.
It has required the whole time of one mechanic and
one helper the entire year, to keep the old machines in the
White Laundry in running condition.
The cottage occupied by Dr. Yarbrough was recovered
with red cedar shingles.
The old shingle roof on the 27th White Female Ward
was torn off, and replaced with a "5-V Crimp" galvanized
iron roof.
A room five feet square was added to the mattress
factory, and a frost-proof closet installed therein.
A new, electric powered, morticing machine was installed in the carpenter shop.
The following places were repainted during the year:
The interior of the Officers' quarters on the ground
floor of the Female Convalescent Building.
The interior of the Powell Building kitchen.
The interior and exterior of the cottage occupied by
Mr. Bivins.
The exterior of the cottage occupied by Dr. Walker.
The exterior and interior of the cottage occupied by
Miss Humphrey.
The interior of the cottage formerly occupied by
Dr. Cox.
Four Rooms of the cottage formerly occupied by
Dr. Bowen.
The hall ways at each side of the center part of the
Powell Building.
The dome on the Powell Building.
The White Female Infirmary. The back wing of the
Infirmary was also replastered before painting.
The operating room on "D" Ward.
The woodwork and the dining rooms and sitting
rooms of several of the White Female Wards.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

A concrete loading platform was built along the
entire west side of the Store House.
Two cast iron sluice gates were installed in the intake well at the water works. These gates were installed
at a lower elevation than the ones installed in 1927. The
lower elevation of the openings was made necessary by
the breaking of the dam at the old power house of the
Mill^dgeville Lighting Co.
The three-inch cast iron water main that ran from
the Colony Pond to the elevated tank at the Colony was
dug up and relaid on a direct line from the Colony Spring
to the tank.
A new Myer's "Bull Dozier" power pump was installed at the Colony Spring. This pump delivers 48
gallons of water per minute to the elevated tank at the
Colony.
Under the supervision of the Farm Steward, the
"Grade Gang" of this Department, graded all the
shoulders of the roads that were paved by the Highway
Department.
With the help of the wagons from the Farm Department, the ground around the L. M. Jones Building
was graded and sodded.
The old wooden pavilions on each side of the old
Negro Building were torn down. The west side yard of
this building was filled in and graded to a one per cent
grade. This necessitated building three brick retaining
walls across this yard.
The southwest corner of the wall enclosing the back
yard of the West Detached Building was torn down and
rebuilt on a curve. This eliminates a "Blind Corner" at
this point. This work was done by attendants and patients
from the Negro Department.
An eighteen-hole minature golf course was constructed in the south side yard of the Green Building.
On the 6th of November the dining room ,and
kitchen of the 24th White Male Ward caught on fire from
a rat nest between the studding of the wall between the
kitchen and dining room. Owing to the prompt action
of the fire department the fire was extinguished after
doing very little damage to the building.
A 40-gallon Childs Soda and Acid Chemical engine
was installed at the Colony Farm, and the supervisors
and attendants were instructed in its operation.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

81

Four 2i-gallon Foamite Fire Extinguishers were
purchased. One was installed in the paint shop, one in
the garage and the other two were mounted on the
apparatus.
All of the electric light circuits in the Powell
Building, with the exception of the center part, were rewired, the insulation on the old wire having rotted to such
an extent that a number of grounds had developed on
the several circuits. This same work was done in the 1st
and 2nd Negro Female Wards.
In addition to the ordinary repair work required
continually throughout the institution, the carpenter
shop, the furniture repair shop, the shoe repair shop and
the broom factory have been kept busy during the year
making and repairing the various articles required in the
different departments.

Report of Steward
DR. R. C. SWINT, Superintendent,
Milledgeville State Hospital.
DEAR SIR :

I submit herein a comparative financial report of the
condition of the Milledgeville State Hospital for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1929-1930; together with comparative detailed statements of receipts and disbursements and other data for these periods.
The year of 1930, as well as that of 1929 has been
most unusual in the history of the Hospital, in that the
State's inability to promptly pay our appropriations has
seriously handicapped us in its proper operation and prevented the opening of our Psychopathic building completed early in the year.
On December 31, the State was indebted to us for
maintenance in the amount of $250,000.00 for the year
1929 and $130,000.00 for 1930; the non-payment of which
sums'continues to embarrass us, since it prevents the payment of the greater number of our supply bills since
June first.
The Hospital was operated within its appropriations
during both the year 1929 and 1930, and at the end of
1930 had excess assets of $157,619.25 an increase of
$53,466.01 over 1929. Our expenditure for maintenance
for 1930 less internal income was $1,245,912.62, and on
this basis our annual cost per patient for care and, treatment was $233.80, a slight increase over 1929 ot $4.^4,
and our per-diem $0.64,05, and increase of $0.1,16.
The State was also indebted to us on December 31, in
the sum of $597,135.57 which amount represented unpaid
balances on special appropriations $562,253!.581 of which
was for new buildings, and the balance of $34,881.99 for
the enlargement of our Water-works.
Our experditure on the New Negro and Psychopathic
buildings at the end of the year totalled the sum of
$554,875.55, including interest of $23,929.05, and that
of the Water-works $46,178.60 including interest of
$117 39
On the expenditure of $554,875.55 for new
buildings, the State has paid the sum of $487,746.42,
$205 000 00 of which was paid on an appropriation made
in 1929 of $500,000.00 for additional new buildings. The

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

balance of $67,129.13 is being carried by banks and in
open accounts, subject to eight per-cent interest. On the
expenditure of $46,178.60 for Water-works, the State has
paid the sum of $45,118.01, leaving an unpaid balance of
£1,060.59.
The following exhibits and schedules set forth the
condition of all accounts in detail, and are offered in
support of the above statements.

Vouchers have been drawn throughout the year in
the payment of all accounts promptly upon their due
dates, but because of a lack of funds were held in the
office from month to month, and on December 31,
amounted to $260,800.93 for maintenance alone.
All paid vouchers and all bills for purchases made
during the year, are regularly filed and of record in this
office.

Seventy-Ninth Annual Report
OP THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM.
MILLEDGEVILLE. GEORGIA,

To His

EXCELLENCY, THOMAS

W.

January 1, 1923.

HARDWICK, GOVERNOR:

Sir:—The seventy-ninth annual report of the Board of
Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium, covering the year
1922, is now respectfully submitted.
Annual Report of the Superintendent.
The annual report of the Superintendent hereto attached will supply essential details of the year's work. In this
connection it is the sad duty of the Board to report the
death of Dr. Lodrick M. Jones, the honored Superintendent
of the Sanitarium, which occurred on December 7, 1922,
following a brief illness. He served it for twenty-five years
as Assistant Physician and fifteen as Superintendent. His
death deprives it of an able executive and the State of a
faithful public servant. Appropriate services in his honor
were held by the Board and the memorial then adopted
appears as part of this report. Pending the election of his
successor Second Assistant Physician N. P. Walker was
placed in charge of the Sanitarium.
Advancing Efficiency
The record of the year shows the continued advance
of the Sanitarium in the great purpose for which it was
founded, the care and treatment of the insane. The number
of patients discharged as restored or improved is gratifyingly large. The death rate is the lowest had in twenty
years. The number of patients secluded or restrained has
reached a new low minimum. The atmosphere and general
trend of the Sanitarium point to further progress. These
brief facts are full of meaning, indicating that the Superintendent and Staff are capable and wide awake and that
tbey are working in harmony for the happiness and well
being of their afflicted charges. It is the duty and pleasure
of the Board to warmly commend them and those under
them for the work of the year.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

The widened use of occupational therapy as a remedial
measure accounts for much of the good record. It seeks
through interesting work or play to divert and occupy the
morbid mind and serves to make the patient happier and
more contented, with a consequent improvement in health.
A striking illustration of its value comes from the negro male
department in which the number of patients thus employed
increased from 160 in 1919 to 534 in 1922, while in the same
time bed cases decireased from 90 to 14. This was followed
by a marked improvement in general health and by a sharp
decline in the death rate. This is but indicative of equally
interesting results had in the other departments. There
is needed for the extension of this form of treatment in the
white female department a small building with ample garden space surrounding it. Male patients can work and
play largely in the open, but other provision must be made
for females. The cost of such a building so situated is not
large and its possibilities for the good of the patient so great
that the Board respectfully urges that an appropriation for
this purpose be made available at once.
The Sanitarium Training School for Nurses is another
factor of increasing importance in improving the work of
the Sanitarium and its beneficient results are everywhere
visible.
Yet another factor is the careful supervision of the
food supply as to quality, preparation and service by the
competent officer whose duty this is.
Admissions for the. Year.
The new patients admitted during the year numbered
857 as compared with admissions of 989 the previous year.
The terms of the deficiency appropriation added to the
burden carried by the Superintendent serving to increase
an already heavy demand for admission. None the less
every effort was made to meet such demand, preference
being given to recent and acute cases offering some hope
of cure.
Admissions for the past ten years totaled 12438, the
yearly average being 1243.8. The indications now are that
admissions for the new year will show a heavy increase as
the after effect of the deficiency appropriation above
referred to.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

The number of patients resident in the Sanitarium at
the close of the year was 3972, an increase of 74 over the
previous year. The records show that the number of
resident patients on January 1, 1913 was 3284 and that the
increase in ten years is 688, the net annual increase
being 68.8.
,
The health record of the patients for the year was excellent; typhoid, tuberculosis and pellagra cases were relatively small and showed a substantial reduction from the
previous year.

A condensed comparative summary of receipts and
disbursements, and of the financial condition of the Sanitarium at the close of the year is here given:

* The decrease in this item is due to revaluation of live stock and

From this summary is seen that the cash liabilities of
the Sanitarium at the close of the year exceeded its resources
by $78,137.15. Included in such resources is $5,282.81 in
receivables which are of doubtful value and the elimination
of this item increases the excess of liabilities to $83,419.96.
Supplies show a shrinkage of $26,924.17. The total of these
items makes an apparent deficit for the year of $110,344.76The last report of the Board submitted an estimate of this
deficit as $260,660.00 for which an appropriation was asked,
but only $150,000.00 was granted. The full amount was
needed.
The cost to the State for each patient was $238.04, as
compared with a cost in 1921 of $240.72. The cost per day
was $0.6525. This low cost under prevailing conditions is
indicative of the careful administration had of the State's
funds.

Crowded Condition White Female Department
The Board regrets it must again call attention to the
dangerously congested condition of the white female department which continues unchanged since its last report, A new

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

building which will relieve this congestion has been under
way for three years but cannot be completed from lack of
sufficient funds to do so. The last report of the Board submitted a careful estimate of the sum needed for this purpose
as $108,915, of which but $40,000 was appropriated. When
this appropriation is exhausted the building will be about
65% completed. To finish the building will now require
an additional appropriation of $67,245 and to furnish it
simply ready for use will require the further sum of $14,000.
It will be used as a home for the nurses and headquarters
for the Sanitarium Training School for Nurses. The transfer to it of the nurses will vacate their rooms on the wards
for the use of patients and relieve the present congestion.
This need is so pressing that the Board again begs most
earnestly for the funds with which to complete and furnish
the new building ready for use. It is being erected by day
labor under the supervision of the Engineer and its cost
kept as low as possible. In recognition of the long service
of oue of its members the Board has named this building
"John T. Brantley Building.''
The Physical Plant.
The vast size of the Sanitarium plant makes the cost
of its upkeep no small item and this cost naturally increases
as the buildings grow in age. Carpenters, plasterers
painters and plumbers are kept busy all the year. In recent
years only minor repairs have been possible and the major
ones from lack of funds have necessarily been allowed to
go over. Some of these last can no longer safely be delayed and it is the duty of the Board to call the attention of
your Excellency to them.
The first of these is the rebuilding of the present ice
plant which is now worn out and outgrown. It will at once
be appreciated that an ample ice supply is vital to every
hospital and the Sanitarium is no. exception- With such
rebuilding should come increased cold storage room for
the preservation of foodstuffs. The cost of doing this work
is conservatively estimated by the Engineer at $29,905.
The next is the protection of the Sanitarium from the
present danger of a water famine. To do this a duplicate
pipe line from the pumping station on the Oconee River
three miles away is necessary. The present single pipe
line runs under land a mile of which is subject to overflow

10

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

from the river and if a break should occur at such a time
it could not be reached until the flood subsided. The water
stored on the grounds is sufficient for a two days' supply
while such floods are apt to continue for several days longer.
The very great importance of this need cannot be overstated,
for a water famine would be disastrous. Some economy
will be accomplished by a duplicate pipe line through the
lessened power required for pumping, due to the reduction
in friction. The cost of this work is estimated by the
Engineer at $44,036. The pumping station has a capacity
of 1,000,000 gallons in 24 hours, while the present consumption of water is approximately 700,000 gallons.
The matter of outside fire escapes is an old one- Their
absence from the Sanitarium equipment has subjected the
management more than once to severe criticism. Such
critics are not aware that in the construction of the buildings this need was sought to be met by inside, enclosed
stairways protected by fire doors and walls. No patient
has ever been lost by fire, but the possibility of such is
recognized. The ordinary type of outside fire escapes would
constitute as great a danger to the patients in case of fire
as the fire itself. The only type having a recognized value
for institutions of this kind is known as the Kirker-Bender
and to install a sufficient number of these for the additional
safety of the inmates will require an appropriation of not
less than $25,000.
The Sanitarium possesses no electric plant and relies
on a local corporation for current for light and power. The
cost of this service including lamps for the past year was
$15,000. The possibility of effecting a saving by providing
the Sanitarium with a plant of its own at least merits careful study. With it might be combined the new ice plant
so that the two could be under one management. If to
these a central heating plant can be added in time a much
greater economy will thereby be effected, i
Looking to the Future
The tremendous importance to the State of the Sanitarium in 1923. The amount so needed is $239,864.68 and is
future policy of the State most timely. The Sanitarium
should not be allowed to increase indefinitely in size. Another hospital located elsewhere in the State should be considered and the class of patients to be sent to each definitely determined.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

11

The need in the Sanitarium equipment of a modern
psychopathic hospital has many times been presented by
the Board. It would now suggest that its every need looking
to its increasing usefulness should be supplied not only as
an act of mercy to its sorely afflicted inmates but as a
measure of economy to the State. Every patient it can restore to health is an asset gained and a liability lost.
The funds at the disposal of the Board should be large
enough and its authority ■ great enough to undertake the
after care of patients discharged as restored. The physician's duty does not end with the discharge of his patient
from the hospital. The period of convalescence must be
carefully watched and the patient kept on the right road
to renewed strength. This is no less true of mental than
of physical diseases. To this end there should be some
authorized agency in each county to watch over newly discharged cases lest by overtaxing of their newly regained
mental strength they become invalids and a charge upon
the State for life. Such agencies could be made of much
value in securing accurate histories of the new cases for
whom admission is sought.
The establishment of mental clinics similar to that now
being conducted in Macon should be encouraged in all the
leading centers of the State. In this way persons liable in
time to be committed to the Sanitarium are properly diagnosed and proper care and treatment outlined for them before
they reach such a condition. The success of the Macon
clinic has been markedThe commitment of mental cases to the common jails
of the State pending admission to the Sanitarium is a gross
injustice and should be frowned upon. Such harsh treatment frequently works an irreparable injury to the patient
that no amount of Sanitarium treatment can undo.
The Board renews a recommendation several times
made that the name of the Sanitarium be changed to
"Georgia State Hospital for the Insane," as serving to clearly define its function and to separate it from other institutions of similar name.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Deficiency Appropriation for Support and
Maintenance in 1923.
It will be neccessary to supplement the regular appropriation had for the support and maintenance of the Sanitarium in 1923. The amount so needed is $239,864.68 and is
arrived at in this way:
Regular appropriation for 1923
$ 800,000.00
Less cash deficit from 1922
83,419.96
Available for 1923
716,580.04
Estimated cost in 1923 based on 1922__ 956,444.72
Deficit to be provided

$ 239,864.68

Regular Appropriations for 1924 and 1925.
It is difficult to forecast the future of the Sanitarium
as to population and cost. The demand on it for admission
continues unabated and promises to increase. The cost of
supplies and labor continue high and there is no prospect of
a reduction in either. The Board estimates the Sanitarium
will have to provide for 4118 patients in 1924 and for 4218
in 1925. For its support and maintenance in these years it
recommends appropriations in the sums of $1,150,000 and
$1,250,000 respectively.
Special Appropriations
For the reason set out in this report the Board recommends appropriations in the sums and for the purposes now
stated:
To complete and furnish the new building
now under construction
$81,245.00
To build and equip occupational therapy
building for white female patients
9,260.00
To rebuild ice plant and enlarge cold

To install duplicate water pipe line from
pumping station to Sanitarium

To provide outside fire escapes of iron

In Conclusion.
Quarterly meetings of the Board were held at the
Sanitarium during the year and its committees visited it
monthly. The interests of the State received no less careful consideration than did the interests of humanity. The
Superintendent was given the full support of the Board in
meeting the problems of management. All it could do to
advance the efficiency of the Sanitarium was done and to
this end the time of its members was freely and gladly given
for there is that about this work which mightily grips and
holds the heart. The working force of the Sanitarium is
well embued with the spirit of service and the future bright
with promise.
The Board now makes grateful acknowledgment of the
unfailing support given it by your Excellency in the discharge of its duties. With an humble prayer that the blessings of Almighty God may ever rest upon this great charity,
this report is now submitted.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Memorial on the Death of Dr. L. M. Jones
ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

MEMORIAL.
Dr. Lodrick M. Jones was the son of Thomas and
Martha T'harpe Jones, and was born in Twiggs County,
Georgia, April 28th, 1850. His boyhood was spent in the trying times of the Civil War and he attained to young manhood
in the gaunt days which followed. In that stern school of
experience, with necessity as his teacher, he learned lessons
of self control, self denial and self reliance, he was never
afterwards to forget. (From the lips of his devoted parents
he gained the fundamental principles of true manhood and
was taught to put his trust in Almighty God. These were
powerful factors in the formation of his character. He was
given such educational advantages as his parents could
afford and in due time entered the office of Dr. William
0'Daniel of Twiggs County, a noted physician of that day,
to begin the study of medicine. He completed this study
in Atlanta Medical College from which he graduated in 1878.
He then located at Gordon, Georgia, where his ability gained him a lucrative practice. The nature of his work there
was such as to attract the attention of the authorities of the
State Lunatic Asylum, now known as the State Sanitarium,
and in October, 1882 he was elected to the office of Fourth
Assistant Physician. He began his new work at once, applying himself with earnest diligence to the mastery of his
duties. He proved an apt student of the "methods employed
by Dr. T. 0. Powell, Superintendent, a psychiatrist of great
skill and wide renown, and made them his own. His faithful and efficient work soon justified the wisdom of his election. An unassuming manner, kindly disposition and natural courtesy won him lasting friends, while his helpful, sympathetic interest in his patients greatly endeared him to
them. Fidelity and sincerity were coupled to ability and
sound judgment in his character, a combination which firmly

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

established him in the confidence of Superintendent Powell.
Twenty-five years were thus spent by him. He did not seek
preferment and was content in the performance of his full
duty. The members of the Board of Trustees rarely saw him
about the administration building, for when not at work on
the wards he was at home with his family. His time was not
wasted but used in such way as prepared him all unconsciously for greater responsibility. On the death of Dr.
Powell in August, 1907, he was elected Superintendent to
succeed him, and thenceforth gave himself wholly to his new
duties. His quick grasp of administrative problems gave
abundant evidence of the thoroughness of his preparation,
and under his direction the Sanitarium affairs continued to
move with their accustomed smoothness. He seldom absented
himself from the Sanitarium and then only for the shortest
possible time. He gave to it his best freely and without stint.
His administration was characterized by his marked business
ability, good judgment and wise foresight; by his firm.
prompt decisions in matters of management; by his just and
courteous treatment of officers and employees alike, to whom
be was always accessible; and by his unfailing effort to promote the welfare and happiness of the increasingly great
number of patients in his care. The World "War brought in
its train many vexatious problems which gravely affected
the Sanitarium and these he confronted and solved with
quiet courage. The crowded condition of the Sanitarium
and growing demand for admission created other problems
requiring wise solution. He did not shrink from his responsibility and it is to be noted that even when his burdens
were heaviest he carried them alone, nor asked help of any
other than his Heavenly Father to whom he ever turned
for strength and consolation. He was a singularly modest
man and the records of the Board show few, if any, requests
preferred by him affecting his own or his family's comfort.
He accepted the inadequate salary fixed by law without
complaint and that it was afterward increased was not due
to his initiative. His chief concern was for the great Institution over which he presided and his own interests he was

m^^mm
16

■i
SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

content to leave with the Board. His attitude toward the
Board wag always deferential and courteous. If on occasion he differed from it his reasons were frankly stated.
If following this the decision remained against him he loyally
carried out the judgment of the Board. For fifteen years,
in the full confidence of the Board, he administered the
affairs of the Sanitarium, and thus rendered a service of incalculable value to the State and humanity, for which he
merits highest praise.
As a man and citizen Dr. Jones ranked high. He was
upright, straightforward, honest and sincere. He scorned
evasions and met every issue face to face. He had strong
convictions and the courage of them. He possessed high
ideals which he sought to convert into realities. His cordial
support was given every movement looking to the bettering of the public welfare. His helping hand was not withheld from those in need and there are many to testify to
his generosity. He was quick to forgive and forget an injury done him and cherished no resentment. Deeply imprinted on his heart was the divine injunction to "do justly,
love mercy and walk humbly before thy God" and he
shaped his life by it. He was a member and officer of the
Baptist Church and a regular attendant in its Sabbath
School. His pastor had in him a true friend and counsellor
In his home life he was a tender, considerate husband,
a kind, indulgent father and a hospitable host. He found
his chief pleasure in his family and his life in their midst
was a benediction. His friendship, slowly given, was loyal,
warm and lasting. His last illness was appallingly brief. Conscious only of a slight indisposition and without premonition of what was to come, he went from his office to his bed;
then followed a few days of intense suffering, and then
his Coronation Day dawned. It was given him to die in
harness, with mental and physical faculties unimpaired,
and in the full prime of great usefulness. With unfaltering

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

17

trust he walked down into the valley of the shadow, facing
the great adventure unafraid, for with the Apostle Paul
he could say in faith,
"For I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that
He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him
against that day."
The Words of Tennyson fit the solemn hour of his passing:
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me;
And may there be no moaning of the bar.
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which $!rew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark.
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to meet my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar."

The funeral service was held in his private apartments
so that officers and employees might be privileged to attend.
Every member of the Board of Trustees and friends from
far and near were present to do him honor. The great
wealth of floral offerings bore mutely eloquent testimony to
the affection in which he was held. The sad service ended,
his body was tenderly laid to rest in the Milledgeville City
Cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn. In his
death a great heart is stilled, a noble life is ended, but there
is left to those who mourn his going a precious heritage—
the record of a great service greatly and unselfishly rendered. There are many to rise up and call him blessed. To us
who remain he has thrown the flaming torch—it is ours to
take it up and carry on. This great Institution, for which
he lived and died, is our sacred charge. We must see to it,
it does not suffer for his going.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
The curriculum of the Training School for Nurses was
kept up to its usual standard during the year.
The influence of the training school.is noted on all the
wards of the white female department and the infirmary
and sick wards of the white male department.
During the latter part of the year some study and investigations were made by the Clinical Director with the
idea of formulating a schedule of training for our attendants throughout the institution. Wie contemplate getting
this in working order during the coming year.
Detailed information relative to Training School for
Nurses will be found in Superintendent of Nurses' report.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.
We made some definite progress in therapeutic occupational training during the year. Arts and craft work among
the white females and colored females have been extended
and more definitely organized.
Two new buildings, one a tin and repair shop and arts
and crafts building were erected from reclaimed material
and lumber from and old cottage that was located near
colored female pavilion.
Work simply as work is not of so great value unless
real interest is aroused, for through interest an emotional
outlet may be attained. Furthermore, occupation may be
the means of sublimating repressed complexes.

HYDROTHERAPY.
This feature of treatment of certian distrubed type of
patients was kept up during the year, and the hydrotherapy
rooms in the white male and female departments had a
trained person in direct charge of each. The continuous
bath on colored male reception ward was very useful and
packs were given in the colored female department and
other departments of the institution where indicated and
no other type of hydrotherapy available.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

DENTAL WORK.
We have a dentist who resides within the Sanitarium
and is subject to call at all times. He makes a routine examination of the teeth of all patients admitted to the Sanitapium, and does dental work for all patients in the intsitution who need it! Our physicians are alert to the possibility of bad teeth or other foci of infection being an etiological factor in mental disorders, as well as being a factor
is causing other medical problems.
Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Departments.
The policy and standard of these departments were the
same as the previous year. The report of the pharmacist
and laboratory technician gives some detailed information
as to the work of these departments during the year.
PELLAGRA STUDY.
The U. S. Public Health Service continued during the
year the study of pellagra, under the direction of Dr.
Joseph W. Goldberger of Washington, D. C. with Dr. W. F.
Tanner in immediate charge. This study has been going
continuously since 1914. During the past year this study
was along the same general lines as were followed the
previous year, and the result, according to these investigators
was confirmatory of their previous conclusions that the
etiology of pellagra is a deficiency of proteins in the food.
OUR NEEDS.
Some of the buildings of the Sanitarium are badly in
need of repair and are deteriorating as a result. It will
cost about $20,000 to make these repairs.
Our ice plant is inadequate and the cold storage needs
modernizing. This would require about $30,000.
We need an occupation therapy building preferably
constructed of brick, size 100 x 40 feet, far the white femalesEstimated cost $9,260.
We do not know when we shall have a fire that will
destroy some' of our buildings and menace the lives of our
patients. We hope that we will not have such an ex-

perience, but we should be prepared and make provisions
for such. It is estimated that it will cost $25,000.00 to
build an adequate number of Kirker-Bender fire escapes to
give us sufficient avenues of escape in case of fire.
Our water main from the water works to the Sanitarium
crosses two streams and is subject to overflow by high water
from the river for a mile of its length. Should there happen
a leak or break during a period of high water, it would
be an impossibility to fix it until the water receded. We
have a supply of water in our cistern that would last us a
couple of days and high water frequently lasts several days
or more than a week. Our Engineer informs me that it
would not only be wise but economical to put in a duplicate
main. If the pipe line capacity is doubled, the velocity in
feet per second of the water flowing in the pipe would be
reduced by one half and the present friction loss by 70 per
cent. The estimated cost of this main is $42,382.00.
The overcrowding in the white female department
makes it necessary that something be done to remedy this.
The completion of the Nurses Home would relieve this condition for some time, as the rooms occupied by nurses and
attendants could be used for patients. It will take an additional appropriation of $67,000.00 far this item.
In the following statistical tables will be found additional classified information of interest of the patients admitted during the year.
Respectfully Submitted,
R. C.

Dentist's Report
FOR THE YEAR
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

1922.

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—I have the honor of submitting the report of
the Dental Department for the year ending December 31st.
1922.
In caring for the mouths of the inmates of this Institution the Dentist feels that the relief of acute suffering, of
a dental origin, is of first importance and should be relieved
as promptly as possible. To this end those having patients
ill their immediate charge are instructed to report, without delay, all such cases as come under their observation.
Certain hours in each day being set aside in which these
emergencies are met, that immediate relief may be given,
if posssible.
Work of a temporary nature is frequently given to those
whose residence within the Institution will probably terminate at an early date, that their teeth may not deteriorate
during the period of their temporary confinement.
There are many patients, however, the length of whose
stay must, of necessity, be uncertain, whose desire to conserve their teeth, whose habits of cleanliness and whose willingness to co-operate with the dentist justifies the most careful consideration. Such patients are furnished thorough
dental treatment and work of a permanent nature.
The mouths of all patients are subjected to an examination soon after their admission, one morning in each week
being set aside for this purpose.
The Dentist resides within the Institution and his services are available at all times.
Below will be found an itemized statement of the work
done in this department during the year just ended.

Report of Dietitian
DR.

R. C

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—The following is a report of the Dietetical
Department of the Georgia State Sanitarium, for the year
1922.

Plans have been prepared for two diet kitchens in the
Colored Department, also for enlarging and completely
equipping the diet kitchen in the Twin Building so as to
make this the main diet kitchen of the institution.
For the purpose of improving our methods of baking,
we had a chemist from one of the largest flour mills in the
North spend several days in our bakery. He gave us many
valuable suggestions which are being carried out. A bread
room for storing bread until delivered to the wards is in
the course of construction, this will prevent the bread drying out and also prevent waste in this food.
A white uniform has been adopted by all the employees
in the department.
The amount of daily garbage has been one of our big
problems, the daily weighing of which would help us to
keep up with the amount wasted in each food. At different
times during the year we have weighed the foods before
being served and the amounts left after serving, these
amounts varied from 9% to 50%. We have no means now
of weighing the food daily from each building, a pair ot
scales in a sheltered portion of each garbage house would
be necessary. Constant and daily supervision of the garbage
will help us reduce it to the minimum. One pound of garbage per person per day should be the maximum, some of
the buildings are above and some below this amount.
With the co-operation of the Farm Steward we have
tried to have an equal distribution of vegetables to each
kitchen due to amounts of waste under different condiSons this has been difficult to do. If the vegetables could be
cleaned in one central place, then weighed and distributed,

the amounts would always be accurate.

66

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

iProm time to time the cooks are weighing fuel and ash
in their respective kitchens and have economized greatly in
this item.
As you will notice from our report, the amount of canning done this year was much higher than in the previous
year. We have asked for a cannery to take care of the excess vegetables raised, so that none will be wasted. Besides
saving these we could can about all the vegetables needed
during the winter.
Except the building and equipping this would have
practically no cost, as the work here could be done by our
colored female patients.
The following is the canning report for the year:—

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Report of Chaplain
DR.

R. C. SWINT, Superindendent,
Georgia State Sanitarium,

My Dear Sir:—During the period of my service as
Chaplain for the Georgia State Sanitarium, from Nov. 1,
1921 to Dec. 1, 1922, I conducted religious services in the
Chapel on Sunday afternoons, also buried the dead and performed other duties of the office of Chaplain.
The Chapel services were at all times well attended,
and the patients manifested a splendid interest in the services. I believe these Sunday afternoon services are not only
a diversion to all, but of spiritual benefit to a great many
of the patients.
The patients seem to enjoy especially the song service,
and I believe that the benefits from the entire Chapel service might be greatly augmented by the addition of an effective song leader, or a stronger organ or other musical instrument to lead the people in their singing. It is very
difficult for the minister who, as a rule, is not a singer, to
lead these people in this part of the service effectively, as
not many of the patients seem to have any knowledge of
music. They could, however, follow more effectively the
lead of a strong musical instrument and their singing would
be greatly improved.
I can not close this report without mention of the unfailing kindness and keen interest at all times of the former
Superintendent, Dr. L. M. Jones, whose patience never
seemed exhaused and whose interest in the services and in
the patients was always manifest. I desire also to express
my hearty appreciation for the many courtesies extended
by the various officers of the Institution during the period
of my services, and to commend the courteous attitude at
all times of the nurses and attendants who were present
at the services.
May God's rich blessing rest upon you and those associated with you in every department of this great work
for the relief of suffering humanity. "Inasmuch as ye did it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me.''
Respectfully submitted,
TIIOS. GORDON WATTS,

Chaplain 1922.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Engineer
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent and Resident Physician:

Dear Sir:—Please find below the annual report of the
Engineer's Department for the year ending December 31st
1922.
IMPROVEMENTS
Work on the Nurses Home, suspended in September on
account of a lack of funds, was resumed in December in a
small way, it being necessary to make new contracts for lumber and to wait for its drying. The roof of this building
is on and the sash are in the windows, but not hung. The
interior remains to be completed. This includes the steam
heating, boilers, hot water apparatus, plumbing, electric
lighting, cutting up the interior into rooms by partitions,
plastering, stairways, all interior trim and painting.
A concrete slop stand has been built in the back yard
of the T. 0. Powell Building. This stand takes the place
of several wooden ones which were located about the premises. It is supplied with connections to the sewer and has
hot water pipe connections for the purpose of keeping it clean.
It also has a pipe frame around it which will be covered
with woven wire as a protection against dogs and buzzards.
The telephone line to the water works has been renovated ; that part of the line running through the city bein^
carried in the lead cable of the Milledgeville Telephone Co°
and -that on the other side on the poles of our power line!
The service is much improved.
A small porch has been built in the rear of the Echols
cottage.
Toilets have been built in the backyard of the Twin
Buildings for the convenience of the patients and employees
working in the kitchen.
A feed shed 100 feet long by forty feet wide at the
colony has been covered with galvanized roofing.
The Colony Buildings have been overhauled and the
cottage occupied by Mr. Swann has been painted inside
and outside.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

99

A small lean-to building has been built against the
wall near the horse stables with two water-closets and a
shower bath placed therein for the use of the white and
colored garden hands.
Two of the pumps at the water works have been
thoroughly overhauled and put in good working order. The
other pair were worked over last year. These pumps have
been worked for nearly fourteen years about half time with
out any extensive repairs having been made on them
previously.
Three washing machines in the laundry for whites
have had the outer galvanized iron shells removed and the replacement made with sheets of more permanent copper.
Other washing machinery has also been repaired.
Six rooms in the female and two in the male convalescent center buildings have been remodeled and plumbing installed, making three two-room apartments for officer's
quarters.
A porch has been built over the platform in front of
the cold-storage rooms, the roof being covered with a Barrett's 20 year specification pitch and gravel roof.
The woodwork of the circular covered way around
the water tower has been renewed and covered with tin.
The water closet in the recreation yard of the male
colored building has been remodeled and a new sewer run
from it in place of the original one which had become stopped up by roots having grown into it.
The cooking apparatus in all the kitchens has been
overhauled and put in good working order.
The pots for heating water for scalding hogs when
butchered have been moved from near the negro occupation building to a point on the branch near the "Hospital,"
and a concrete scalding vat and cleaning platform built
nearby.
Electric lights have been put in all the nurses rooms
in. the Twin Buildings., Those roqms were not wired when
the building was first occupied.

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

Two of the officer's cottages have had new hot water
pipes run to them.
The grade hands in this department have leveled off
the site for the new dairy building.
The fire department has been reorganized under Mr.
Miner and weekly drills are made.
The cottage occupied by the engineer at the waterworks, which was destroyed by fire early in the year, has
been rebuilt along the same lines as the original. This
work was done by the regular force of carpenters employed by the institution with the addition of a few extra hands.
On the west end of the Green building, where the walls
had spread through settlement, six through bolts have been
run to prevent further movement.
A sanitary system of sewers has been built at the
"Colony" for negroes with a septic tank and eight water
closets. This does away entirely with the unsanitary open
privies previously in use there.
A new stage has been built in the Amusement Hall in
the place of the old temporary one torn out.
An electrically driven coffee grinder has been installed
in the storehouse. It has the capacity of 180 pounds of
freshly roasted coffee, ground fine, per hour.
A new dairy barn has been begun just to the north of
the present buildings. This structure is 120' feet long by
35 feet wide. It is well under way and will be completed
in thirty days.
An electrically operated food grinder and mixer has
been installed in the kitchen of the T. 0. Powell Building.
Two toilet rooms have been built in the Negro Building. These rooms have cement floors, laid on cinder concrete, and each of them is furnished with a bath and water
closets.
One thousand square, feet of wood flooring have been
laid in the Twin Buildings.

Eightieth Annual Report
OP

THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1924.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor:
SIR : The annual report, required by law, of the Board
of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium, for the year 1923,
is now respectfully submitted.

Report of Management.
The accompanying annual report of the Superintendent
and Resident Physician, to which is attached those of department heads, give in essential detail the record of the heaviest
year in the history of the Sanitarium. The new patients
received reached a total of 1,157, an increase of 300 over 1922.
The daily average number of patients resident in the Sanitarium was 4,172, exceeding the previous year by 254. Including its officers and employees, the Sanitarium now has a population of 4,899.
The work of the medical department continues of unusual
excellence and shows the Sanitarium to be steadily advancing
in efficiency in the treatment of insanity. It should be a matter of pride to the State that this is so.
The good work of the business officers is shown in a cost
to the State for each patient of $234.95, in which every
expense connected with the Sanitarium is included. This is
slightly lower than the cost of 1922. The daily cost for each
patient was but 64.37 cents. *■
The Training School for Nurses is a most valuable
adjunct and its thorough methods of training reflect much
credit on the Superintendent of Nurses in whose charge it is.
The Sanitarium is well managed because well officered.
Superintendent Swint, although but a year in office, has discharged his responsible duties most acceptably to the Board.
He has the loyal support of the medical and business officers
and it is to their combined effort that the remarkably fine
record for the year may be attributed.

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
Financial Condition.
The deficiency appropriation granted at the last session
of the Legislature was unpaid at the close of the year, greatly
to the embarrassment of the Board. In consequence of this
the year closed with a deficit or overdraft of $222,966.03. The
Sanitarium was saved from a situation of exceeding gravity
only through the ability and willingness of the Treasurer of
the Sanitarium to advance the funds needed to meet its
expensesj and for this patriotic service lie is now tendered the
grateful thanks of the Board. This dangerous experience leads
the Board to enter a very respectful protest against the custom lately adopted of making appropriations for the support
of the Sanitarium which are known to be insufficient, thus
placing on the Board the burden of finding funds with which
to meet its needs until a deficiency appropriation can be had.
Such custom increases the cost because of the interest paid
on such funds. The Board deems the custom as unwise as it
is dangerous. The simple needs of this great family of the
afflicted are and ought to be a first charge on the resources of
the State, and should be willingly and generously supplied.
The receipts and disbursements for the year and the
financial condition of the Sanitarium at the close of the year
are shown in the following statement:

Dangerously Overcrowded Condition.
The Sanitarium has not room enough to meet the everincreasing demand on it, and the Superintendent now reports
that every bed in every ward is occupied. The condition in
the white female department is especially bad, for here a
normal capacity for 1,164 patients is now stretched to accommodate 1,573. Such a condition is as dangerous as it is unsafe.
Nor is it new, as the reports of the Board made each year will
show. It must be at once relieved if the Sanitarium is to continue to function in this department. A new building partly
completed is now had, but until an appropriation is made for
its completion it must stand idle. When it is completed it
will permit the removal of the nurses to it, and thus vacate
their rooms on the wards for the use of the white female
patients. This need is so imperative and further delay so dangerous that the Board very earnestly renews its request for
an appropriation sufficient to complete and furnish this building. It should be made available at once, so that work may
be resumed on it without delay.
Psychopathic Hospital.
The Board again calls attention to the great need in
the equipment of the Sanitarium for a suitably located and
equipped psychopathic hospital to be used solely for the care
and treatment of curable cases of insanity. Through it their
injurious association with the hopeless or chronic insane, now
unavoidable, would be done away with, and a better chance

for recovery given them. Such an addition to the equipment
would be not only a wonderful stimulus to the Medical Staff
but of great assistance to it. In addition, it would afford
needed relief to the present crowded wards in every department by the removal of such curable cases to it and might
well mark the limit in size to which the Sanitarium may be
wisely allowed to attain. A building for this purpose fully

Occupational Therapy Building.
Occupational therapy means simply the effort to divert
and hold the morbid mind by giving the hands interesting
employment. Such markedly beneficial results have followed
its introduction, especially among the chronic or hopeless
cases and the least attractive of these, that it is being extended
as rapidly as possible. For this purpose there is now needed
a small building for the use of the white female patients in
which they may be protected from the weather, and occupation
taught them. The cost is but $9,260.00. The Board asks that
an appropriation be made in this sum and for this purpose
to become available at once, believing that this progressive
work of the Medical Staff and nursing force is worthy of
every encouragement.
Ice Plant Worn Out.
The ice plant of the Sanitarium has been in use for more
than twenty years and is now not only outgrown but worn
out to such an extent that it is no longer equal to the demand
on it. Inasmuch as an abundant supply of ice is so vital to
the comfort and well-being of the patients, the Board now
asks for an appropriation of $29,905.00, which is the estimated
cost tor the installation of a new plant and for a needed addif ion to the cold storage room now had.
Duplicate Water Supply Pipe Line.
It is necessary to call attention once more to the situation
of the Sanitarium in respect of its water supply Its single
pumping station is located on the banks of the Oconee River
about four miles away from the Sanitarium, which is reached
through a single pipe line running for one mile through land
subject to overflow when the river is in flood. A break in it
at such time and place could not be repaired and a water
famine would follow. Only a duplicate pipe line will protect
the Sanitarium and its inmates from such a happening, and

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

its cost is estimated by the Sanitarium Engineer at $44,036.00.
The very great importance of this protection fully warrants
the appropriation asked.
Outside Fire Escapes.
Criticism of the Sanitarium continues to be made from
time to time because of the absence from its equipment of
outside fire escapes, such critics being apparently unmindful
of the fact that escapes of the usual ladder type would be as
dangerous to the patients as fire. The Sanitarium has always
relied on inside enclosed stairway of wood well placed as the
means of escape in the event of fire. The only type of outside escape of any value would be the enclosed iron cylinder
with spiral slides known as the Kirkner-Bender escape. The
Board will be very glad to install these if an appropriation of
$25,000,00 may be had to defray the cost.
The Plant.
The usual repair and replacement work has been carried
on through the year. The increasing age of most of the buildings makes this work an item of considerable and growing
expense. The report of the Engineer will show how busy his
department has been.
Planning Now for the Future.
The Board believes the time is at hand when the State
should face the problem of founding a second hospital for the
insane. The Sanitarium now has a population of patients, employes and officers of approximately 5,000 and may not wisely
be permitted to attain a much larger size. A second hospital to
care for the steadily increasing number of insane is the only
solution. Whether it should be used to separate the curable
from the incurable cases, or to separate the races, or to be
a duplicate of the Sanitarium, receiving all classes and races,
is a matter which should receive mature consideration. The
problem is one which might well be committed to a special
commission created for this purpose and reporting to some
future Legislature. The Board will be glad to give its assistance in any way desired.
Deficiency Appropriation for 1924.
The regular appropriation of $800,000.00 for the support
of the Sanitarium in 1924 was known to be insufficient when
granted and it was far under the carefully prepared estimate

HWI mma

10

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

of the Board submitted at that time. The Board now estimates that the cost for 1924 will be $1,015,478.00 and to this
is to be added the deficit brought over from 1923 of $222,966.00. From it is to be deducted the deficiency appropriation for 1923 when paid of $239,864.00. This'will leave a
deficiency of $198,580.00 to be supplied and an appropriation
in this sum and for this purpose to be made available in the
year as needed is respectfully asked .
Regular Appropriations for 1925 and 1926.
The very careful estimate of the Steward, approved by
the Superintendent and checked by the Board, fixes the number of patients to be cared for in 192.1 and 1926 and the sums
needed for their support as follows:
For:

Salaries and wages

Changes in the Law.
The Board recommends the following changes in the laws
governing the Sanitarium:
1.

Amended so as to permit the transfer to the State Home
and School for the Feeble Minded of the children in
this class now inmates of the Sanitarium.

2.

Amended so as to forbid the reception of the criminal
insane whose care and safekeeping should devolve upon
the Prison Commission. The Sanitarium is a hospital
and not a prison. It has no means of safeguarding
these criminals. The enforced association of the innocent insane with these criminals is repulsive to every
sense of decency.
Amended so as to clearly define the classes entitled to
admission to the Sanitarium.

3.
4.

Amended so as to provide for the admission on the recommendation of one or more reputable physicians of border
line cases for the purpose of examination and advice.
For the Board.

The Board has endeavored to discharge its full duty
punctually and faithfully. It has held quarterly meetings at
the Sanitarium through the year and caused its committees
to visit it monthly. The funds at its disposal have been carefully administered. Supplies were bought on competitive bid
as far as practicable. The Superintendent has been given every
support. The record for the year is full of hope. The Board
is grateful to your Excellency for your continued confidence
and now thanks you for it. With the prayer that the favor
of God may ever rest upon this great family of the afflicted
this report is now submitted.

The work done by the Sanitarium for the reception, care,
treatment and discbarge of patients, is the principal business
of the institution, to which all other activities are secondary,
and was increased compared to the previous year by 300 admissions, 254 in daily average, and 270 increased population
at the end of the fiscal year. The percentage discharged,
recovered and improved, based on the number of patients
received during the year, was 33.15%. This does not include
those furloughed during the year, but those who have remained
out of the Sanitarium longer than 12 months, and have made
readjustments that enable them to remain out of the institution.

14

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

You will find an analysis of the furloughed patients in
the Clinical Director's report. Of the 720 patients furloughed
during the year 586 or 48'/, (based on the number of admissions) were furloughed as restored or improved.
Some of the patients admitted to the Sanitarium are
incurable on admission, and their problem is one principally
ol custodial care, but the majority of admissions have problems that aiv very complex as to etiology. The cause of their
illness is not found in some existing physical disease alone,
but to a complication of factors. We cannot go verv far, however, in the study of behavior disorders without becoming
aware that in order to understand them they must be studied
and considered in relation to feeling and thought. In other
words, we have to consider relations between soundness of
mind and soundness of body.
In order to properly approach these problems it is very
essential that we know something of the personal and family
history of the case under study, their habit of reacting to
various stimuli of their environment, as to whether "the reaction is graded to the stimulus and appropriate to tne occasion.
An individual witli mental disease is as truly sick as one
with some definite physical disease, and should be'so regarded
hut there is still a great deal of prejudice and superstition of
mediaeval times among the educated and intellectual as well
as the uneducated in their attitude and notion of mental
diseases. The general public has not become fully educated
to the necessity of making an intelligent contribution nor of
assuming the correct attitude toward their most unfortunate
fellow beings who have to he deprived of their liberty by the
very nature of their illness.
Many of the things known and of recognized value are
not being made use of for the conservation of mental health
and the betterment of the race. How ignorant we are of the
mechanism of heredity, and yet how dependent we are upon its
influences.
Does not the planter and the stock breeder pay attention
to the improving tendency of the laws of Heredity?
_ Are we as human beings going to keep our eves closed to
its influences as applied to the race?
No one can today be intelligently interested in questions
ot public welfare who is not prepared to consider the problem
Of eugenics m relation to individual success, happiness and
race improvement.

MEDICAL SERVICE.
Several changes have taken place in the medical staff
(luring the year.
Assistant Physicians R. W. Bradford, L. A. McCalla and
I). T. Raiikin resigned. The two former to enter private practice; the latter to accept a position of promotion in a state
hospital in Pennsylvania.
Drs. U. S. Bowen, C. G. Cox and Jno. R. Harrison were
employed as Internes to fill their vacancies.
Dr. E. B. Saye, who was formerly Pathologist to the
Sanitarium hut resigned during the world war to enter the
army, was reelected Pathologist, and returned to us on June
1st and since that time has had charge of the laboratory.
During the previous year he was Associate Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology at Emory University Medical School.
His training and experience should prove of great value to
the medical service of the institution. In co-operation with
the medical staff he has begun some research studies of the
blood chemistry of epileptics.
You will find a detailed report of the medical work
during the year in the report of the Clinical Director.
Extra Mural Mental Clinics and Social Service.
The maintenance appropriation for the Sanitarium has
been too inadequate to attempt the establishment of additional
mental clinics similar to the one that has been conducted at
Macon for several years. It seems that the usefulness of the
institution might spread more and more into extramural activities along this line so that borderline and prepsychotic
cases could be reached before they are committable. I believe
that the usefulness of the Sanitarium can also be extended
by establishing an out patient clinic at the institution. I occasionally get letters from some physician or others asking for
advice, or to recommend where they might go or send some
relative or friend for expert examination. Furthermore, the
service of the institution might be more efficient if our maintenance appropriation was adequate for the inauguration
of a Social Service Department. Much good could be accomplished in this work along the lines of obtaining historical
data of new admissions, and follow up or after care service
in the furloughed patients. Conduct disorder is the chief
cause of the committment of patients, and a properly organized social service could do a great deal toward helping

1C

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

the furloughed patients through their earlier stages of adjustment in their various communities.
Overcrowded.
Your honorable body is fully aware of our overcrowded
condition as your attention has been called to this from time
to time, and you have called attention to it in previous reports
to the Governor. The matter has now reached that stage
where something must be done. Every ward in the institution
is full, and we are forced to make room for beds in every
available space that can be utilized for such purpose.
In the white female department we have had to lattice
off a portion of some of the day rooms for beds. Such a condition of overcrowding is to be regretted, it is not safe, for
we are forced to sleep two in rooms that should be occupied
by only one. Allowing 1,000 cubic feet of air space for each
patient our estimated capacity in the white female department
is 1,164, while our actual resident population in this department is 1,573, making 409 above normal capacity, or 35%
overcrowding.
The time has come when the State will have to face the
problem of building another institution for the care and treat■ ment of mental diseases in some other section of the State. The
completion of the nurses' home would not solve this problem
but would give us additional rooms that we badlv need In
tins connection I will state that the success of any hospital
whether state or private, is greatly dependent upon its nursing torce, and we cannot expect the best and most efficient
services from our nurses and attendants unless thev are properly domiciled and taken care of. It is rather unreasonable
to insist that they constantly live in the environments of the
hospital wards. I hope the next legislature can be made to
see the wisdom of making an adequate appropriation to
finish and furnish the Jno. T. Brantley Building, our new
A arses Home, that is already about two-thirds completed
and has had to remain in this condition during the past year
on account of lack of funds for its completion.
One of the worst features of this overcrowding is that
it interferes with and is a great handicap in the treatment of
our patients especially the habit training that is so essential
in many of the unfortunates who are sent to the Sanitarium.
Finances.
The report of the Steward gives an analysis of our income
and expendrtures for the year. Economy has been the watch

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

17

word in every department, and we have practiced the strictest economy possible considering efficiency of service, the
welfare of the patients, and the preservation of the physical
plant. The cost to the State for each patient was $234.95 as
compared to $238.04 the previous year. The cost per day
was 0.6437 compared to 0.6525 the previous year. This cost
included every expense connected with the care and treatment as well as the upkeep of the physical plant. During the
year, however, we have been greatly handicapped in our efforts
by an inadequate appropriation to meet our actual needs. Your
honorable body is thoroughly familiar with this matter, and
I do not deem it necessary to elaborate on it. The State has
no greater obligation, nor will it ever undertake a more
humane endeavor than taking upon itself the responsibility
for the care and treatment of her unfortunate citizens who
are afflicted with mental diseases. Civilization will have advanced a step when social consciousness awakens to the importance of placing at the disposal of the Boards of Trustees
funds adequate to meet the needs of the problem of conservation, care and treatment, and rehabilitation in this field of
humanity's greatest wreckage.
Improvements and Repairs.
Some of the buildings of the institution have been occupied for more than 80 years, and the wear and tear given a
building and its furnishings inhabited by all kinds of patients
afflicted with all types of mental diseases, is necessarily great.
Many improvements have been made during the year that
add to the value of the physical plant and equipment. The
report of the Engineer, Capt. T. H. DeSaussure, gives a detailed account of the improvements and repairs during the
year, and it shows the mass of work along this line that is
required for the upkeep of the institution.
Farm, Garden and Dairy.
By reference to the Farm Steward's report you will note
the amount of food stuffs produced during the year.
Considering the excessive rains during the year I think
the amount produced makes a very favorable showing. It
seemed at one time as if our corn crop at the Colony would
be almost a failure on account of excessive rains, but the production was 7,511 bushels compared to 6,158 bushels the previous year; also 66,525 lbs. of pork compared to 33,347 lbs.
the previous year. Our farm, garden and dairy was operated
during the year at an estimated net profit of about $13,000.00.

Religious Services.
Religious services were held on Sunday afternoons each
week during the year by the pastor of the Baptist Church at
Milledgeville. He also conducted the funerals of all white
patients buried in the Sanitarium cemetary. The Catholic
Priest from the City of Milledgeville looked after the requirements of the members of the Catholic Church. Religious
services and burials in the colored department were conducted
by our local chaplain in that department.
Amusements of Patients.
The Sanitarium Band gave concerts for the patients three
times a week. Moving picture shows were provided for them
twice a week, and they attended their usual dances at the
amusement hall one afternoon each week. Other features of
amusement such as walks and games viz: tug of war, foot
races, sack races, running and jumping, climbing greased
poles, baseball, etc., were provided.
Reactions to amusement is very noticeable in an audience
composed of the colored insane. Various forms of diversion
is appreciated by the patients of both the white and colored
races, and it is beneficial to them. In this connection I will
state that the improvement in the physical appearance of the
wards and its furnishings such as an extra coat of paint etc
has a salutary effect upon them.
Needed Improvements Requiring Special Appropriations.
1. The completion and furnishing of the Jno. T Brantley Building. (Nurses' Home.)
2. Enlargement of ice plant, and reconstruction of cold
storage.
3. Build and equip an occupation building for white
female patients.
4. Install duplicate water pipe line from water works
to bamtarmm.
5. Outside fire escapes for the various buildings.
6. Build and equip a modern hospital building adequate
to accomodate all patients of both sexes and races who have
some definite physical disease problem requiring special medical or surgical treatment with a centralized operating room
ouch an addition would modernize our institution, and create
that atmosphere of progress and stimulatiou that nothing else
could.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

New Legislative Matters.
1. Sec. 3, Page 163-4, Acts 1918 should be revised.
2. Voluntary admission law should be enacted whereby
upon the recommendation of a reputable physician early and
borderline cases might be admitted for a few days for examination and advice.
3. Means for raising funds for aiding the maintenance
of the Sanitarium could be found in a county payment
law so formed that each county would become responsible to
the State Treasury for one-half the amount it cost to maintain and treat each patient committed from said county.
4. To change the name of the Georgia State Sanitarium
to Georgia State Hospital.
PELLAGRA STUDY.
The U. S. Public Health Service continued during the
year the study of the dietary treatment and prevention of
pellagra begun at the Sanitarium in 1914. This work is being
done under the direction of Dr. Joseph W. Goldberger of
Washington, D. C, and, as for some years past Dr. W. P.
Tanner continued in immediate charge of it.
During the year tests of buttermilk, batter and cod liver
oil were made with results, according to the investigators,
which confirm the previously favorable experience with milk,
and indications that butter and cod liver oil are lacking iv
specific value in this disease.
Acknowledgements.
The successful management and conduct of the affairs of
an institution of the type and size of the Sanitarium cannot
obtain without loyal and efficient heads of departments, and
loyal and co-operative employes. He who assumes the responsibility of Chief Executive or Administrative Officer must
pay a great toll.
I deem it # privilege to express to your honorable body
my deep appreciation for your confidence, kindness and
courtesy to me, and for your constant interest in the affairs of
the institution during the year. My profound gratitude is
here expressed to the Medical Staff, other officers, nurses,
attendants and all other employes for their loyalty, faithfulness and co-operative spirit.
We also express our sincere thanks to the Women's clubs,
and other organizations and individuals over the State who
were so thoughtful and kind to send to the patients so many
boxes and gifts at Christmas time.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT, Superintendent.

Report of Clinical Director
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—I have the honor of submitting the report of
the Medical Department of the Sanitarium for the year ending December 31st, 1923.
During the year 1,157 patients were admitted of whom
242 were readmissions; 743 patients left the institution and
350 died.

Tables 2 and 3 give diagnostic groupings of the first and
second admissions. Twenty-three patients were discharged
as not insane. They were grouped as follows: Drug addicts
not insane 12; Constitutional psychopathic inferiority without psychosis 3; Mental deficiency without psychosis 3; Alcoholism 1; Recovered before admission 1.
Three not insane.
Table 4 gives diagnostic grouping of those furloughed.
The subsequent tabulations are self explanatory.
The number furloughed as restored or improved was
48% of the admissions.
Health.
The percentage of deaths was 6.8 based on number treated.
A large portion of the deaths were due to degenerative
diseases such as arterio-sclerosis, paresis, nephritis, etc-.
Sixty-seven per cent, of the deaths from pneumonia occurred
in patients over sixty years of age. Five cases of typhoid
fever with no deaths were reported during the vear. The
entire population with the exception of a few sick'and feeble
were vaccinated against typhoid. There has been a very
noticeable decrease in the number of mosquitoes. Only one
case of malaria was reported. Pneumonia, general paralvsis
of the insane and tuberculosis were the leading causes of death.
Medical Work.
Staff Meetings. The policy of bringing before the Staff
only those new cases which presented some problem from the
point of cause, diagnosis or treatment has been adopted'. This
is a time saving procedure and the Staff can spend its efforts
to the best advantage as a result. At intervals also Staff
conferences have been held at which medical problems of
general interest were discussed. These have been of much
value.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

21

Sustained efforts have been made along two broad linesintensive treatment of acute curable cases and improvement
or amelioration of chronic incurable cases.
Occupation therapy, diversion, increased personal contact, rest, special diet and special nursing have been the chief
factors stressed in treatment of the acute cases. Treatment
is begun in most instances at the time the patient is received
on the ward. Provision has been made on the white female
reception ward so that new patients can be carried to occupation rooms on the same ward. This is of especial value since
it serves to check idle tendencies. A ward full of busy
patients is an incentive to a new arrival. A large number
of warm and cold packs are given on some of these wards. In
the white male department a small tract of land has provided
the means of out door employment for a large number of men.
This fulfills a long felt need. There has been a most noticeable decrease in the number of baths and packs given since
this feature was inagurated. Furthermore, there are almost
limitless opportunities to further develop out door employment and diversion in this department.
Among the chronic cases, more particularly dementia
praecox, habit training and occupation are chiefly relied upon.
In an institution so large as ours it is difficult to provide occupation or diversion for all.
The medical and surgical work has been well taken care
of by the Staff.
The pathologist collaborating, one of the ward physicians
treated five cases of dementia praecox by intra-spinous injections of normal horse serum after the manner outlined by
Carroll. No results were evident and the work was discontinued.
In a similar manner blood chemistry of epileptics has
been taken up. At this time no positive conclusions have been
reached.
Laboratory. The work here has been conscientiously and
efficiently done. The serological information afforded is one
of the greatest value. In addition to the routine duties some
research has been undertaken. The laboratory is fulfilling its
function better than ever before.

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

Training School for Nurses.
The work in this department has been carried on in the
same efficient way as fomerly. The graduates have been
uniformly successful and reflect great credit on the training
school and its head. It is a matter of pride to note that one
ox its graduates received the highest mark on the Slate Board
examination during the year.
»
Training School for Attendants.
This has been planned entirely along practical lines
Beginning m October a series of lectures dealing with every
day problems of nursing the insane were delivered to all the
attendants in the institution. This was supplemented by
distribution of pamphlets giving illustrative cases with
methods of management. The results have been better than
was expected. The fact, alone, that the number of filthy
patients were reduced by 34% in a few months amply justifies all efforts made m this direction. (The ultimate aim of
this work is to increase loyalty. Results will nal urally follow )
In order to gam first hand information a graduate nurse has
spent her entire time doing mental nursing, Her efforts have
been fruitful and we can reasonably hope for further ad-

Occupation Therapy.
Occupation therapy has been started at eight different
t' tl

About three hundred patients daily is the average number
treated in this way. This does not of course include tho e
working on the wards and in the industrial departments
The products of the occupation therapy group have been sold
and he proceeds reinvested in material, "in Addition a R^l
outfit that may be connected with any Ward having a telephone
has been purchased from the funds. A portable movSp
Jure machine bought by this department is used chiefly for
the colored population. This however mav be used on any
of the wards. A recent exhibition of pictures to a class 0f
parents who cannot be carried to the amusement hau, showed
AZ

very conclusively that their attention could be attracted and
held This is of distinct therapeutic value particularly to
the chronic, untidy, apathetic, indifferent cases of dementia
praecox and the more extensive use of the pictures is urged
if finances will permit.
Out-Patient Department. The Macon Clinic has entered
well into its fifth year. The number of patients attending
has been about the same as in former years. We feel that
this work is well established and is of much value. It seems
probable at the time of writing this that our Clinic will be
made the neucleus of one of the Commonwealth's demonstration Clinics. This would be a distinct compliment to the institution as one of our physicians will be ultimately put in
charge.
Grateful acknowledgment is made to the Board, to you,
to the Staff and to all those in the Medical service who have
co-operated to carry the year's work through.

Of the 346 specimens of cerebrospinal fluid, 267 were
from patients admitted during the year. A routine examination of the cerebrospinal fluid has been made in the case of
each patient whose blood gave a positive Wassermann reaction. In the following tabulation the results of these routine
examinations are shown with reference to race and sex, those
marked "pathological" being specimens which showed concomitant positive changes in the Wassermann, colloidal gold

Mr. Leaptratt, the senior technician, has found 4 cases
of Linguatula serrata infestation in 6 dogs killed near the
Sanitarium that were thought to be suffering from rabies. No
Negri bodies were found, however, in the brains of these
animals.
Blood Chemistry.
A group of otherwise healthy epileptic patients has been
studied with reference to the chemical composition of their
blood. Similar examinations have been made in a control
series of healthy non-epileptic patients and employes. No
marked difference has been noted in the findings for the two
groups.
Necropsies.
Only 20 necropsies were performed during the entire year.
In accordance with your instructions, summaries of the
necropsy findings are, for reason of brevity, omitted from

Dentist's Report
FOR THE YEAR
DR.

R. C.

1923.

Superintendent.
Milledgeville, Ga.

SWINT,

Dear Sir:—I have the honor of submitting the following
report of the Dental Department for the year ending Dee. 31st,
1923.
Believing that the Dentist's most urgent duty to his
patients is relief of acute suffering, those having the patients
of the Institution in their immediate charge are instructed
to report, at once, such cases as are in need of emergency
dental treatment. That these patients may have prompt attention certain hours of each afternoon are set aside for this work.
Temporary dental work is afforded those patients whose
term of residence within the Institution is likely to terminate
at a reasonably early date, in order that their teeth may not
deteriorate during the period which must elapse before they
can again return to their own dentists.
There are many patients, however, whose habits of cleanliness, whose desire to preserve their teeth and whose willingness to co-operate are such as to warrant the most careful
treatment, yet whose mental condition is such as to promise a
stay of indefinite length within the Sanitarium. Such patients
are given thorough attention and work of a permanent nature.
An examination of the mouth of each patient is made
promptly after admission, one morning of each week being set
aside for this purpose.
The Dentist resides within the Institution and is subject
to call at all times.
Below will be found an itemized statement of the work
done in this Department during the year 1923.

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—The following is a report of the Training
School for Nurses for the year beginning January 1st, 1923
and ending December 31st, 1923.
Every effort has been made to raise the school to the
highest standard. Today it is classed with the best schools in
the State of Georgia.
All students admitted within the last year have had at
least one year high school education and quite a number are
high school graduates. We hope within a short time to admit
only high school graduates.
The affiliation course of six months with Memphis General
Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, and the University Hospital,
Augusta, so far, has been very satisfactory.
At present students have their affiliation course in their
senior year but we hope in the near future to place it in the
junior year and give all their theoretical training in this school.
The annual commencement of the Training School was
held October 18th, at eight o'clock in the amusement hall, Dr.
R. C. Swint, Superintendent, presiding. The class address
was very ably delivered by Rev. Dr. Carr of the First Presbyterian Chuch of Savannah.
The diplomas were presented by Hon. John T. Brantley,
President of the Board of Trustees, who always gives the
graduates very wholesome advice in a very pleasing manner.
Mr. E. E. Lindsey, Chairman of the Executive Committee
Board of Trustees, presented the hospital pins.
Mrs. L. P. Longino with her usual sweet soprano voice,
sang, June Is in My Heart, by Graham Vaughn and Song of
Love from Blossom Time.
A reception and dance followed, music being furnished by
the Sanitarium Band.
The following are the names of the graduates receiving
diplomas:

On May 1st, the Nursing Staff was reorganized and four
Supervisors were placed in charge of the different services.
Am glad to report this has been very satisfactory as to the
services rendered the patients, the general up keep of the
wards and the issuing of supplies.
In October, a course in Care of the Mentally Afflicted,
was given all attendants by Dr. N. P. Walker, Clinical Director The object was to teach the attendants how they might
render better service to the patients. Very good results were
obtained from these lectures.
I wish to thank you for your kind consideration and help,
and the Medical Staff for lectures and medical services rendered the students and all other Officers who assisted in
teaching during the year.

SWINT,

Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—The following is a report of the pharmaceutical department of the Georgia State Sanitarium for the year
of 1923.
The work of the laboratory and prescription departments
show about the same amount as the previous year, with the
exception of a germicide which we now make for the extermination of bed bugs and other insects. This being brought
about at the suggestion of our Clinical Director.
It is gratifying to state that we not only run our purchases lower for this year, but have done so each year for the
past four years. This being partly due to the fact that we
were fortunate in securing some surgical supplies and chemicals that was put on the market by the War Department.
I appreciate your co-operation, also that of the Trustees,
the Clinical Director and Medical Staff in aiding me to carry
on the work of this department.

In addition to this we have cut about 500 cords of wood.
Cleared about 30 acres of new ground. All coal fromthe
Chutes has been distributed by this department. We have
spent considerable time working and improving the road system around the institution. Two of the most important improvements to the roads was the widening of the road in front
of the center building yard and the widening and raising of
the road in the back yard and adopting a one-way drive, this
eliminating a great deal of danger when going in and out ot
the back yard gates.
During the year I kept four mules and one horse for their
board. We had two old mules to die during the year.
There has been several improvements made down on the
farm and at the dairy. On the farm by changing fences and
cleaning up fence rows, hedgerows and swamps. At the dairy
bv building a new barn and installing a 4-inch water mam and
putting in fire plugs; also by putting in new equipment in one
end of the barn, including individual drinking cups. I consider the drinking cups very important to the health and productivity of the cows.
During the year we made all the calf feed fromfoodstuffs
produced on the farm. We also furnished all but about 50
C of hav for the dairy. We did not buy any cotton seed
Sit S. In audition to the above work, there has been
several things done that are too numerous to mention.
I wish to thank you, the Board of Trustees, the officers
of the institution and others for the gratitude and co-operation
shown me throughout the year.

Dear Sir:—Please find below the animal report of the
Engineer's Department for the year ending December 31st,
1923:
'
IMPROVEMENTS

Some work on the John T. Brantley Building has been
done during the year, but all operations have been suspended
now on account of a lack of funds. During the period in which
work was carried on the partitions dividing the interior into
rooms have been put in and most of them lathed. The interior
wiring has been done also and the top story plastered.
The grounds immediately in front of the John T. Brantley
Building have been graded, the terrace sodded and the lawn
planted with Bermuda grass. A concrete walk has been laid
up to the building from the walk leading from the Powell
Building.
Cencrete slop stands for holding the slop barrels have
been constructed in the back yards of all the buildings. A hot
water supply has been run to each stand and all of them are
connected to the sewers.
A water closet in the recreation yard of the Whittle Building and one in the yard at the Cabaniss Building have each
been improved by having side walls built to them, forming
urinal stalls. These stalls have a water supply and are connected to the sewer.
A new wire fence has been built around two sides of the
patients' recreation yard on the west side of the Powell Building and a wire fence has been built dividing the 27th ward
yard from that used by the patients on the east side of the
Powell Building.
The pipe line at the water works leading from the relief
valve on the electric pump has been changed so as to discharge
into the clear water basin instead of into the suction well. A
fitting having a glass protected observation window in it has
been placed on this line just below the relief valve.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Two water closets have been installed in the basement of
the Powell Building and partitions built around them. These
closets are for the use of the cooks working nearby.
Three hundred feet of hot water pipe leading to the cottages on the east side of the institution have been replaced
with new pipe.
Three closets have been built between the arches in the
basement leading to the sewing room. These closets being for
the storage of dry goods.
Six water closets in the L. M. Jones Building have changed
from the old seat-flushing kind to the overhead-tank flushing
type.
The new flower garden in front of the Powell Building
has been piped for water.
A telephone has been installed in the office of the Supervisor in the Green Building and one in the Whittle Building.
A brick addition to the bakery has been built for the storage of the day's baking of bread.
A concrete constant head sulphate of aluminum tank has
beeen made and installed at the water works. This tank has
a glass float valve and a variable control orifice outlet made of
rubber.
The water level in the pipe line between the pump in the
water works building and the clear water basin has been raised
by the addition of a 12-inch 45-degree elbow at the discharge
end. The purpose of this raise being to keep the pipe fullof
water at all times, thus ensuring a better mixing of the chlorine
gas used in sterilization.
The water pressure at the "Hospital" Building has been
improved by running a new line from the mains in front of
the Twin Buildings. The old pipe line has been taken up,
cleaned out and laid in the new line to the dairy.
A 4-inch cast iron water pipe line has been run from the
rear of the Twin Buildings to and around the dairy buildings
and a line of fire hydrants placed on each side of the buildings
there New water pipes have been put throughout the dairy
buildings and fifty stalls have been equipped with individual
automatic drinking cups for the cows.
All of the buildings, including the silos, with the exception of the last barn built, which was whitewashed on the inside, have been painted inside and out.

74

EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT

An entrance has been made into the Supervisor's office at
the Negro Building from the outside, and a small covered
porch built over the doorway. This enables the employees
and the public to enter the office without first having to pass
through the Supervisor's private quarters.
The temporary stage in the amusement hall has been
taken out and a permanent one bu ilt in its place.
The barn at the dairy, begun last year, has been completed. This building is 120 feet long by 156 feet wide. Its
construction is similar to the other barns, and while the interior has not been made with cement floors and stalls for the
cows, the construction is such that it can be changed for milch
cows without disarranging the construction.
The old boilers in the L. M. Jones Building have been
removed and replaced with now and larger ones. The larger
boilers being for the purpose of supplying steam for the heating of the John T. Brantley Building, as well as the storehouse and the L. M. Jones Building. The old brick chimney
has also been replaced with a taller and larger one.
A larger duplex steam pump and receiver has been placed
in a new position in the pump pit of the L. M. Jones Building
boiler room, and a new system of hot water supply installed.
These two items being for the care of the L. M. Jones Building,
the storehouse, three surrounding cottages and the John T.
Brantley Building.
An additional power table has been added to the sewing
room equipment. This table has two power sewing machines
on it.
All of the washing machines in the white laundry have
been overhauled and put in good shape. Four of these machines required new copper shells.
A 42-inch by 84-inch new Monel Metal Cascade Washer
has been added to the equipment of the white laundry.
A hot bed with glass top 120 feet long and 6 feet wide
has been built for the florist.

this part of the building has been relaid with concrete to conform with the balance of the work.
A marquee has been placed over the entrance to the John
T. Brantley Building.
The cottage occupied by Dr. Longino has been repaired,
banisters put to the front porch and painted inside and out.

Eighty-first Annual Report
OF THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1ST, 1925.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor.
Sir:
Conforming with the State law, the Board of Trustees of
the Georgia State Sanitarium respectfully submits its annual
report for the year 1924, which is supplemented by the annual
report of the Superintendent and Resident Physician in which
is included reports from the heads of the different departments of that Institution. These reports supply information
in detail of the work which has been done during the year.
Some Physical Facts
From these reports it will be seen that the net increase
over the past year was 203 patients, as compared with 207
for the previous year, though the total admissions for the
year were only six less than the previous year. The year
closed with 4,447 patients on hand.
The report of the Steward shows that the daily per capita
cost for the past year was $0,622, as compared with $0,643
for the previous year. This reduced cost per capita comes in
face of an increase of a little more than $52,000.00 for food
during the past year.
The salaries and wages account shows that the cost of such
was $2,001.00 less than the previous year.
Farm Steward's Report
From the Farm Steward's report for the past year, it will
be seen that the value of the products taken from the garden
and farm of the Sanitarium for use in maintaining the Institution amounted to a little more than $100,000.00, based on the
value of such products in the open markets. It has been the
policy of the Farm Committee of the Board to try to make
that department productive of the greatest possible value to
the Institution. The output from the farm and garden included vegetables, fruits, milk, dairy products, gram, sweet
potatoes and other crops of that character.

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Engineering Department
In the Engineering Department, the repairs upon the
various buildings have been kept up, and an unusually large
amount of work done in extending pipe lines for heating purposes, water mains for fire protection; the installation of a
mattress renovating plant, and quite a large amount of grading and drive-way construction has been done. Work has
been pushed upon the new nurses home, the John T. Brantley
Building, which has been in course of construction for the
past several years, and which will take care of the white female
nurses when it is completed, thereby relieving in a measure,
some of the greatest congestion on the halls, is to be completed
during June or July of the current year. The work is being
done largely by the regular force of carpenters, masons and
painters of the Institution, in the interest of economy.
The Scope of the Property
These references will give an idea of the physical work
which has been done at the Sanitarium during the past year.
In order to appreciate the enormous amount of work to be
done in these departments, it may be said that the original
cost of the real estate of the Institution, including all of its
buildings, approximates $1,693,000.00. Most of these are old
buildings which require constant repairs, such as new floors,
new ceilings, new roofs and other repairs of that character.
The grounds of the Institution cover over 3,450 acres, and of
this amount 1,750 acres were under cultivation the past year.
There are under irrigation about 18 acres of land which is
very productive, furnishing an enormous amount of vegetables during the season.
There are employed at the Institution, including the
Medical Staff, Nurses, Attendants, and employes in other
departments, 355 males and 324 females, making a total of
679. Its total population is now 5,126, while 605 patients
were out on furlough at the close of the year.
Finances
The careful management of the Sanitarium is indicated
elsewhere. The report of the Steward sets out in detail the
receipt and expenditure of funds appropriated to it. The
report is corroborated by that of the State Auditor. The
appropriation of $800,000.00 for 1925 will be insufficient to
maintain the Sanitarium and a deficiency appropriation of

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

$250,000.00 to be made available on the exhaustion of the regular appropriation will be necessary.
The Medical Department
The Board of Trustees point with pride to the most excellent service which has been rendered in the Medical Department during the past year. We believe that the morale of the
Institution, the devotion of the employes to the unfortunates
in their charge, and the spirit of co-operation which exists m
all of the departments, was never better than it is at the present time. The Board of Trustees has been especially impressed
and pleased with the excellent results which have come from
the development of Occupational Therapy among both the
males and females in the Institution, and among the black,
as well as the white population. This work includes manual
effort in many different lines. It is not enforced service, but
it is the kind of work which various types of patients are
fitted for doing. In the male department it has been grading,
gardening and work of that type. The patients have taken to
it with enthusiasm and some wonderful results have been
accomplished.
In the female department, the work includes nearly all
kinds of fancy work. An exhibit of this work would compare
favorably with similar work from any institution in the country. A suitable building for the further development of this
form of treatment is urgently needed for the use of white
females. It is a pleasure to see the excellent development in
these lines, and especially since the diversion has had such a
wholesome effect upon the mentality of those engaged m it.
Our Crowded Condition
The Board of Trustees feels that the work for the past
year has been unusually good, considering the crowded condition of the Institution, and the handicap under which every
department is laboring. There has been a net gain of about
500 patients in the past two years, and the Institution was
overcrowded before these patients were received. The condition that exists upon some of the halls at the present time is
almost intolerable. We feel confident that it would not exist
if the people of Georgia and the members of the General
Assembly understood the situation as it really is. A great
Institution which is founded for charity and which has to
deal with a type of human beings who need regular hospital
treatment and constant care and attention, should not be

ggXW* —

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

forced to subject its inmates to a condition which tends to
aggravate, rather than relieve, the trouble from which they
are suffering. The State Sanitarium is not a place of mere
confinement, or a prison, but it is a place of treatment, and
the fact that a large percentage of those who are received
each year are returned to lives of usefulness and to their
families, shows that the work of the Institution is reaching
the high ideals for which it was established.
Need of Another Institution
The Board of Trustees, after having given much thought
and consideration to the present condition in the Institution, is firm in the belief that the time has arrived when
the State should now prepare for the establishment of another
hospital for treatment of the insane, probably located in some
other part of the State. The experience of other States has
been that the best results are not obtained where the congestion is so great and the Institution is so large. The Georgia
State Sanitarium is one of the largest in the United States.
While the number of insane population is not proportionately
as great in Georgia as in most of the other States, and the
cost of maintenance is not so large, we have our entire insane
population in a single Institution, located at one point. The
Board of Trustees will amplify this view in a special report
to your Excellency, with the hope that the attention of the
next Legislature may be called to it.
The Fire Hazard
The Board of Trustees desires to call attention again to the
need of a dependable system of fire escapes for the various
buildings in which patients are confined. While we have had
no trouble in the past, and while the Trustees and the officials
of the Institution have done all in their power towards improving the system of fire protection, by the extension of
water mains and putting in more hydrants, we daily realize
what a horrible situation would confront us and the people
of Georgia if a fire should get beyond the control of our fire
department—a condition that is as liable to happen at the
Sanitarium as elsewhere.
Need of Duplicate Water Main
We also wish to call attention again to the urgent need of
a duplicate water main from the pumping station to the

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
Sanitarium. At present, we have only one main which is
sometimes covered by freshet water from the Oconee River.
It runs under Pishing Creek and two or three smaller
branches, and is liable to be put out of commission almost any
time. Such a happening would bring about a deplorable situation at the Sanitarium, and one which the people of Georgia
should not tolerate longer.
Ice and Cold Storage
"We call attention again to the urgent need of a new ice
plant and improved cold storage facilities. Our present ice
plant is worn out and has been out-grown for several years.
The Institution is dependent upon it for ice for its 5,000 population and for cold storage in which to keep its dairy products,
vegetables, beef and other things that are dependent upon
cold storage for preservation.
Some Other Needs
We also call attention to the fact that the Sanitarium needs
a much larger Amusement Hall to meet the needs of the large
population of patients who are wonderfully helped in this
way. The present Amusement Hall has been in use for forty
years and is no longer adequate.
There is also an imperative need of additional buildings
for white female and colored female patients. It is estimated
that these buildings will cost $150,000.00 each. A schedule of
needed improvements for the next two years, and which require special appropriation, are as follows:
1. New ice plant and cold storage. Estimated cost
$ 30,000.00
2. Duplicate water main from pumping station to Sanitarium. Estimated cost
44,000.00
3. Occupational Therapy Building for white females.
Estimated cost
9,260,00
4. Outside fire escapes. Estimated cost
25,000.00
5. Modern Hospital Building, adequately equipped. Estimated cost
250,000.00
6. Amusement Hall adequate to meet the needs of our
large population to replace the small one that has
been in use for 40 years
7. Two additional buildings will have to be provided to
take care of the over-crowded white females and
colored females, if no steps are taken towards the
establishment of another Institution in some other
section of the State. Estimated cost, each
150,000.00

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Changes in the Law
The Board respectfully calls your attention to needed
changes in the State law, which will clearly define the type
of patients to be admitted to the Sanitarium; and to change
the law so as to make each county of the state bear one-half
of the cost of caring for the patients from the different counties ; and another change in the name of the Institution from
"Georgia State Sanitarium" to "Georgia State Hospital."
The Board of Trustees will present these matters to your
Excellency in more definite shape in the special report hereinbefore referred to, at which time the Board will undertake to
show the advantages which are to be derived from these
changes.
In Conclusion
The Board heartily commends Superintendent Swint for
the record which he and his assistants have made during the
past year.
We wish to thank your Excellency for the co-operation
which has come from the Executive Office, and which has been
very helpful to the Board in discharging its duties. "We also
recognize the fine spirit which has been shown by the State
Auditor in seeking to meet the needs of the Institution.
The Board has held its meetings regularly during the year,
with committee meetings each month, and, in that way has
sought to do its duty. The funds of the Institution have been
carefully administered. Supplies have been bought on competitive bids as far as possible, and the Board has been gratified to find a spirit of sympathy and helpfulness on the part
of business concerns that have had dealings with the Institution. "We look to the future with hope, confident that God
will continue to bless our efforts, and that the great-hearted
people of Georgia will not stint their greatest charity or
deprive it of the things that are needed to relieve suffering
among those who have ties binding them to almost every
home and fireside in the state.

We began the year with a greatly overcrowded institution,
and notwithstanding our effort to limit the admissions to
young applicants who offered some hope of being benefited by
treatment, and to those who furnished histories of being violent, and too dangerous to be kept at home, our population
increased 203 during the year compared to 270 the previous
year, and the total admissions were 1,151 or 6 less than the
previous year. Other requests for admissions that we were
obliged to decline emphasizes the need for increased accommodations.
The function of the Sanitarium is not simply that of custodial care • its principal object and aim is to serve as a hospital for those unfortunate citizens of the State who become
afflicted with mental disease, and we are endeavoring with
all the resources at our command to make it a hospital for
such in service as well as in name.
The cause, care and proper treatment of those afflicted
with mental disorders is one of the most vital and complex of
all medical problems. "We are rightly getting away from the
narrow and technical definition of the word "insanity," and
view the cases from the standpoint of adjustment. Some of
the cases admitted have comparatively mild symptoms which
are nevertheless manifestations of a diseased mind of functional nervous disorder. Individuals afflicted with these types
of illness, are just as much in need of special treatment as the
more fully developed and frank eases of mental disease. It
is therefore, regrettable that the state has not provided adequate accommodations for all who wish and need treatment.
The percentage of discharges from the records during the
years as recovered and improved, based on the number of
admissions, was 35.8% compared to 33.15% during the previous year.
Also, of the 792 patients furloughed during the year 51.6%
were restored and improved. A detailed analysis of this group
will be found in a tabulation of the Clinical Director's report.
Overcrowded
Overcrowding has been a problem of the institution for
many years, and attention has repeatedly been called to it in
previous annual reports. It has now become one of the most
pressing problems confronting us. Its ill effect reaches every
phase of the medical service, and this is most notably true on
reception wards where the most difficult and responsible medi-

UHWH

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

cal work and study of new admissions is concentrated. It seems
that we are paroling the restored, improved and harmless cases
as rapidly as wisdom justifies. The notion obtains, however,
among some of the uninformed, that there are many inmates
in the Sanitarium who should be discharged, but any one
familiar with the situation knows that it is not only the duty,
but one of the pleasantest duties of the Superintendent to see
that no person is illegally or unjustly confined in the Sanitarium, and to discharge those who become restored and are
able to make a social readjustment.
The problem of overcrowding and requests for admission
should be provided for: it cannot be solved by sidetracking.
I do not think it would be expedient to further expand this
institution. Experience has demonstrated, and it is the opinion
of those best informed on the science of hospital management
and control that the best condition and results cannot obtain
in institutions with so extremely large populations. T therefore, think it would be wise for your honorable body to aerain
call the Governor's attention to this problem of overcrowding,
and stress to him tlie importance of establishing another state
hospital in some other section of the State. Even after the
completion of the Nurses' Home—the John T. Brantlev Building—and the rooms on the wards now occupied by nurses
become filled with patients, we will still be overcrowded on
the White Female Department by several hundred patients.
MEDICAL SERVICE
A detailed report of the medical work during the year
will be found in the Clinical Director's report, A few changes
took place in the Staff during the year:—Dr. R. "W. Bradford,
who was formerly with us and resigned to enter general practice, was reelected, and returned to us July 5th as Junior
Assistant Physician. Drs. U. S. Bowen and C. G. Cox, after
a competitive examination as required by law, were promoted
in July from Internes to Junior Assistant Physicians. Dr.
Jno. R. Harrison, Interne, resigned July 1st, to enter general practice in South Carolina. Assistant Physician J. K.
Pettit resigned September 1st to accept a position at Letchworth Village, N. Y. Only one of the two vacancies caused
by the resignations has been filled. The Staff shortage has
caused the patient population in each service to range from
300 to 800 depending on the character of the service. Of
course, best results need not be expected when one physician
has so many patients to care for, as he cannot give the personal contact to each case that is so essential in psychiatric

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

practice. It is difficult to get the proper type of young
physicians who are interested in psychiatry to fill vacancies
on the Staff, as most of the young graduates seem to be interested in other branches of medicine that offer prospect of
greater remuneration. This is a problem that is not confined
to Georgia, but according to reports it obtains in practically
every State in the Union. When the medical schools begin to
pay more attention to the teaching of psychiatry the attitude
and interest of students may be changed.
Our maintenance appropriation has been too inadequate
for us to expand the relation of the institution to the various
communities of the State in the form of additional extra mural
mental clinics and social service department, but I believe
that the usefulness of the Sanitarium would be extended by
the establishment and development of these features of the
medical service, and that good results would obtain from them.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives schedules and exhibits
that show in detail the receipts and disbursements during the
year.
We endeavored to practice the strictest economy throughout the year, keeping in mind the welfare of the patients, the
amount appropriated, and the efficiency of the various departments.
Notwithstanding the fact that we were more liberal with
our menu and spent $52,057.87 more for food than during the
previous year, our daily per capita cost was 0.617 compared to
0.643 the previous year. This cost included every item of
expense connected with the care and treatment of a daily
average of 4,389 unfortunate charges placed here by the state,
as well as the repairs and upkeep of the physical plant.
" The largest item in the maintenance account is the matter
of salaries and wages, although this item was $2,001.64 less
than the previous year. If we are to maintain the efficiency
of the institution it is necessary that an adequate force of
officers and employes be kept and paid commensurate with
their duties, responsibilities, training, service, etc. It seems
that we have this matter very well before us, and cannot
expediently anticipate any reduction. The needs of the institution, and the welfare of our unfortunate charges could
better be provided for if we were given a more liberal per
capita allowance.

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Engineer's Department
The various divisions of this department have been kept
busy during the year in meeting the needs of the institution.
An institution as old and large as this, with the various buildings originally so economically constructed, necessarily requires considerable repairs for their proper upkeep, and there
is still a great deal of repair work ahead of us.
The report of Capt, T. H. DeSaussure, who has been the
head of this department for many years, gives a full account
of the improvements made on the plant during the year. One
of the most needed and useful of these improvements was the
construction of a mattress house, and equipping it with an
electrically driven picker and other appliances for mattress
making.
,
Since October the Engineer and some of his force have
been concentrating their efforts toward the completion of the
unfinished Nurses' Home.
Farm, Garden and Dairy
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of food
stuffs and dairy products produced in this department during
the year. The extreme cold weather in January killed out
growing vegetables and oats, but the seasons were favorable
to our corn crop. We produced 15.000 bushels compared
to 7,511 bushels the previous year. Also while 21,672 lbs. of
pork was killed, the amount carried over to be killed after
Christmas will total about the amount killed the previous year.
Religious Services
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon by
the regular chaplain, the Pastor of the Milledgeville Methodist Church serving in this capacity until Nov. 1st, and since
then the Pastor of the Milledgeville Episcopal Church. These
pastors have also conducted the funerals of all white patients
buried in the Sanitarium cemetery. The Catholic Priest from
the Milledgeville Catholic Church looked after the needs and
requirements of the members of his religious faith. Services
and burials in the colored departments were conducted by our
chaplain in that department.

Amusement of Patients
The Sanitarium Band as usual gave concerts for the
patients three times a week. Moving picture shows were provided for them twice a week. During the early period of the
year we perfected arrangements with sixteen film distributing
agencies in Atlanta through the Atlanta Film Board of Trade
to furnish us gratis films thereby saving the institution several
hundred dollars, and in this connection we wish to thank the
Associated First National Pictures, Consolidated Film & Supply Co., Educational Film Exchange, Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation, Film Booking Offices of America, Fox Film Corporation, Goldwin Distributing Corporation, Producers Distributing Corporation, Al Litchman Corporation, Metro
Pictures Corporation, Pathe Exchange, Progress Pictures,
Southern States Film Co., and Vitagraph for their interest
and contribution to the enjoyment of our unfortunate charges.
The Junior Order American Mechanics Imperial Council
No. 10 also gave a gratis entertainment for the patients on
March 21st that they greatly enjoyed.
. Other features of amusement, such as games, walks, picnics, etc., were provided.
Occupation therapy was extended some during the year.
Two large portico rooms in the white female department were
thoroughly renovated, and are now being used for this purpose. Brightening up the walls, ceilings and floors with a few
coats of paint has a salutary effect upon the patients. It has
been said that sight is probably the most important of the five
Jensen because it is responsible for more than sixty percent, of
all the impressions taken into the mind.

PELLAGRA RESEARCH
The U. S. Public Health Service continued during the year
their research studies of pellagra begun at the Sanitarium in
1914. This work is directed by Dr. Joseph W. Goldberger
of Washington, D. C, with Dr. W. F. Tanner of the Public
Health Service in immediate charge. Dr. Tanner, who had
charge of this work for several years, was transferred to
Washington in November, and Dr. G. A. Wheeler of the Public
Health Laboratory in Washington was sent down to take his
place, and has been in charge since the middle of November.

Changes in the Law
I respectfully call your attention to the following legislative matters that I think are very important for the welfare of
the service:
1. Section 3, Pages 163-4, Acts 1918, should be revised so
as to define more clearly its meaning, and the type of cases
that should be committed and admitted to the Sanitarium.
2. Means for raising funds for aiding the maintenance of
the Sanitarium can be found in a county payment law so
formulated that each county would become responsible to the
State Treasury for one-half the amount it cost to maintain
and treat each and every patient committed from said county.
When the patient has adequate property to pay for his or her
treatment, give the county the authority of collecting and
reimbursement for the amount paid out for treatment for
said patient. This probably would have an influence toward
preventing the committing of harmless incurable cases; also
senile cases whose principal problem is custodial care, and
because of their irritability, childishness and forgetfulness
they become a burden to their relatives.

3. The name of the Georgia State Sanitarium should be
changed to the "Georgia State Hospital." This would be
more in keeping with progressive psychiatric thought and
state control.
Acknowledgments
In concluding this report covering the work of the Sani
tarium for the year just closed, I desire to express my cordial
thanks and appreciation to your honorable body for your
confidence and constant interest in the affairs of the institution throughout the year—to the medical staff—all other officers and employes for their loyalty and faithful service rendered throughout the year; to the Women's Clubs, American
Legion and others who were so thoughtful and kind to send
to the patients at Christmas time so many gifts.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Clinical Director
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Dear Sir:—
I have the honor of submitting the report of the Medical
Department of the Sanitarium for the year ending December
31st, 1924.
During the year there were 922 first admissions and 229
second admissions, making a total of 1,151.
The most noticeable difference as compared with the previous year is the increase in number of cases of paresis among
the colored males. For the first time general paralysis of the
insane was the leading form of psychosis among first admissions in any of the departments, 41 of the 168 colored first
admissions having been classified as paretics. In 1924, 24%
of the first admissions among the colored males suffered from
paresis, as compared with 15.1% for the previous year. It
is to be sincerely hoped that the rate of increase of neurosyphilis among the colored race will not continue as indicated
by the above figures. The usual laboratory findings in the
blood and spinal fluid helped to confirm the diagnoses.
Of the 23 patients diagnosed as not insane, ten showed
mental deficiency; three psychopathic personality; four were
epileptics; two were drug addicts; one was an alcoholic, and
in the case of two no evidence of abnormality was at hand.
It may have been that they showed evidences of mental disturbance before admission.
Thirty-three of the second admissions had been in private
sanitariums, most of them for very short periods. In most
instances they were brought direct from the private sanitariums.
Seven hundred and ninety-two patients were furloughed.
Of these 27 were classified as not insane. Of the remaining
765, 594 were furloughed as restored and improved. Omitting 23 patients admitted during the year who were classified
as not insane, the combined percentage of those furloughed
restored or improved was 52% of the number of admissions.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

21

We have had a number of cases of chicken pox and
measles, but no epidemic of a serious nature. There were 406
deaths, 7.5% of the total number treated. Tuberculosis, general paralysis of the insane and cerebral hemorrhage were the
leading causes of death in the order named. Sixty patients
died of tuberculosis, 52 of general paralysis of the insane and
36 of cerebral hemorrhage. In 1923 the number of patients
dying from these diseases in the order named was 49, 43 and
30. Paresis and cerebral arterio-sclerosis appear to be much
more rapidly fatal among the colored males than elsewhere.
At least they do not live long after admission. Taking into
consideration the number of cases of general paralysis of the
insane and arterio-sclerotics admitted and the large number
of old and feeble patients now in the institution, we can
scarcely hope for any great reduction in the death rate.
The medical work may be arbitrarily divided into three
spheres of activity. First, the treatment of those physical
ailments which are incidental and have no connection with
the mental state of the patient. Second, the treatment of those
conditions which bear a known relationship to the mental
illness of the patient. Third, the treatment of the mental
state itself either symptomatically or otherwise.
In the first sphere the work has been well done. We have
a staff competent to ably handle any condition that may
arise. The staff has had the invaluable assistance of the laboratory in this sphere as well as in the others. The staff also
received the valuable co-operation of the training school, and
its head, as well as of the graduates now in the employ of the
institution.
The most important work done in the second sphere has
been in the field of neuro-syphilis. The results have been anything but encouraging in this particular line. In addition to
the older methods of treatment, tryparsamide has been tried
in fourteen cases of paresis. None of the patients recovered.
There was an unstable improvement in the serology < I some
of the cases, particularly was there a reduction in ttJ number of cells in the spinal fluid. One of the patients became
blind after the second dose of three grams. The great majority of our paretics, more especially the negro men, are
usually in a very advanced stage when admitted. We are
indebted to Dr. Wade Brown of Rockefeller Institute for
furnishing tryparsamide in sufficient quantities to treat the
fourteen patients above mentioned.

f^ftttxiiaxum

22

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Upon application, Dr. E. C. Rosenow, of the Mayo Clinic,
furnished sufficient serum for the treatment of five cases of
encephalitis. Here, too, our patients had been ill for a long
time, and improvement was scarceely to be hoped for. None
of the patients showed any benefit from its use.
All of our acute cases of pellagra are now being treated
under the direction of Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler, of the
United States Public Health Service. Splendid results are
being obtained. Not only our institution, but the human
race at large are indebted to these physicians for their most
excellent work.
Particular attention has been given to the activities in
the third sphere. Here the means of treatment is neither
medicinal nor surgical, and is far from being fully developed.
The co-operation of the other departments of the institution has been of much help in this particular line. Special
nursing, occupation, habit training, amusement and diversion
are the most valuable assets in treatment. During the latter
part of the year special nurses were placed with a small
number of highly excited, destructive and filthy patients. The
results were good. There was an evident response in every
case except one. Individual nursing in the cases of such
patients is apparently costly, but the contrary is true, in
many cases, at least. The continuation of this policy in selected cases is recommended. As far as possible, occupation
and diversion were provided for all newly admitted patients
who were able to take part in such.
Among the chronic, incurable cases (chiefly dementia
praecox), habit training and occupation are the chief aids
relied upon. A small number of patients suffering from dementia praecox of long standing (seven to eighteen years) were
put in the care of special nurses for habit training. In not
a single instance was there a complete failure. On the contrary, some of these patients became tidy and non-destructive.
This is an economic, as well as humane procedure. It is an
effort to train these patients so that they will be less offensive
to other patients and at the same time a great deal less expensive to the hospital. This feature of the work should also be
continued. Some of the physicians have segregated their destructive patients and placed them under the care of selected
nurses. The same thing has been done to a limited extent with
the untidy patients. In both instances improvement in the
habits of the patients have resulted. The effects of habit
training have become evident in the diminished amount of

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

work necessary at the laundry and a well marked lessening of
clothing and bedding destroyed.
The crowded condition of the institution hampers us at
every turn. This is not only unhealthful, but is positively
dangerous The two white female reception wards have a
capacity of 28 each (one to a room). They have averaged
from 45 to 60 patients to the ward. Under such circumstances,
a new patient about whom we may know nothing must be
placed in a room with another. Attacks by one patient upon
another are bound to occur. Fortunately, no serious accident
has recently happened on this account. The hospital cannot
possibly fulfill its function so long as such conditions exist.
It cannot afford a place of restfulness and quiet so long as a
noisy, excited and possibly dangerous patient has to be confined in the same room with another or in a dormitory where
he may disturb a hundred. A patient from the above reception wards has to go where there may be a so-called vacancy
unless it is found possible to shift another patient. There are
at this time aged patients on the reception ward where the
most violent and impulsive patients are received. The danger
to these old and feeble persons is self-evident. There are
times when it is not easy to say which of two patients sleeping
in the same room is the filthy one. Indeed, there has been
an instance where three such patients slept in a single room.
The very large amount of work being done in the laboratory is indicated by the number of examinations made, 6,566.
Several thousand of these specimens were collected by the pathologist or his assistants. This is a time-consuming procedure.
In addition to the laboratory work, the technicians have embalmed 317 bodies. In the midst of his other work, the pathologist has found time to do some research work. Mention of
this is made in his report. It is to be greatly regretted that
our institution, as well as those of other states, contribute so
little towards research work in a field of which we have such
comparatively meager knowledge. The pathologist's report
contains much information of interest.
The training school under the Superintendent of Nurses
continues its work in the same manner as formerly. Many of
its graduates are filling positions of responsibility and importance.
In May and October short courses were given the newly
employed attendants. Each course consisted of lectures whicli
supplemented quizzes and examination on a small pamphlet

24

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

prepared for the purpose. In addition to this, a monthly
bulletin was published and distributed to the wards. The
course has not yet been made what it should be, but we hope
that eventually it will be much improved. Without doubt,
the monthly bulletin does more to improve the nursing of the
insane than anything so far tried.
The clinic at Macon continues with about the same attendance as in former years. The results are good. The location
of rooms for the clinic are a definite drawback to its further
upbuilding.
The classes in psychology from the University of Georgia
and from Emory University spent several days at the institution in the late spring. They were given all the advantages
possible to study the manifestations of abnormal psychology.
The medical department cannot function at its best without the co-operation of the other departments. We have been
glad to receive the assistance of these departments in the
year's work.
We cannot escape the feeling that the spirit of the entire
medical service has improved. The suggestions and foresight
of the physicians have helped very materially in making our
hospital a better one. The uniform willingness with which
the nursing force has undertaken to carry out untried procedures proves their loyalty.
Acknowledgments are made to the Board, to you and the
entire medical service for assistance and suggestions looking
to the betterment of the medical work.
Respectfully submitted,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Pathologist
FOB THE YEAR

DR.

1924

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Dear Sir:
The following Report of the Pathological Laboratory for
the year 1924 is submitted:

Serological Examinations
Of the 1,501 specimens of blood examined for the Wassermann reaction during the year, 1,200 were secured, in conformity with our routine practice, from patients newly admitted to the hospital. A tabulation of the results of these
routine examinations follows:

The average percentage of 4-plus Wassermann reactions
obtained by routine examinations of blood specimens in the institution during the years 1914-1924, inclusive, is 12.5.
Of the 446 specimens of cerebrospinal fluid examined, 295
were obtained from patients admitted to the institution during
the year. A routine examination of the cerebrospinal fluid
is made in the case of each patient whose blood reacts positively to the Wassermann test. In the following tabulation
there is shown the incidence of serological neurosyphilis
among patients admitted to the hospital during the year. The
term '' luetic'' is here employed to denote the occurrence of
a positive Wassermann reaction upon the cerebrospinal fluid,
and usually also other serological indications of syphilis of
the nervous system as well.

Necropsies
During the year, 49 necropsies were performed. Sections
of tissue, taken from the principal viscera and from gross
lesions, were examined. A complete record of the necropsy
findings in each case is filed in the office of the Clinical Director, as well as in the Laboratory.

62

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

By a more persistent effort to get in touch with relatives
of patients, by explaining to such relatives the value to themselves and others of the information sought, and by assuring
them that careful restitution of the body will be made upon
the completion of our examination, we could, I believe, obtain
permission for necropsy in a larger percentage of patients
dying in the institution. The granting of permission for
necropsy affords us an opportunity to render a service to the
relatives of patients as well as to expand our knowledge of
diseases that we are called upon to treat.
Intestinal Parasites
Of the 843 specimens of feces examined this year, 356
contained parasites or their ova, in the following order of frequency: Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, Ascaris
lumbricoides, Trichomonas hominis, Strongylus stercoralis,
Endameba coli, Hymenolepis nana, Endameba histolytica, and
Enterobius vermicularis. I have omitted from this report,
however, a detailed analysis of the findings, for the reason
that they do not show accurately the incidence of intestinal
parasitic infections either among the patients admitted to the
hospital during the year or in the population of the institution as a whole.
Research
We have done some work upon the question of the possible anaphylactoid nature of so-called essential epilepsy. Our
endeavor has been to demonstrate indirectly, by means of precipitin-production, the existence of a specific protein antigenic
substance, and to determine whether or not changes in the
total number and relative percentages of the various kinds of
leucocytes bear a definite relation to the occurrence of th;
convulsive seizures. We are making quantitative determinations of the dextrose content of the cerebrospinal fluid in the
various psychoses. All of the foregoing investigations are still
in progress.
Milk
In compliance with your instructions, we have examined
monthly, a specimen of milk from each of the various sources
of supply, including the Sanitarium dairy. In these examinations, we have employed the standard methods of milk analysis
recommended by the American Public Health Association.

Equipment
Our work has been somewhat facilitated by the installation
in the laboratory of a gasoline gas machine, which machine is
simple to operate and economical to maintain.
Embalming
The technicians are also embalmers, and, in addition to their
other duties, have embalmed, during the year, 317 cadavers.
Personnel
The summary given at the beginning of this report shows
a total for the year of 6,566 examinations, exclusive of such
procedures as the preparation of bacteriological and serological
reagents, and the collection of specimens. The laboratory is
fortunate in having experienced technicians; without such
trained assistance, it would have been impossible to handle
adequately so large a volume of work. Mr. Leaptrott has had
thirteen years continuous service in the laboratory; Mr. Johnson, five years. If the demands upon the laboratory continue
to increase, as they should normally do, we shall soon require
an additional assistant. My time, as well as that of the technicians, is so nearly completely consumed by the routine work
that I cannot find the time that I would like to devote to histopathological'and other studies.
Respectfully,
E. B. SAVE,

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT

Dentist's Report
FOR THE YEAR

1924
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA.,
JANUARY 1ST, 1925.

DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Dear Sir:
I have the honor of submitting the report of the Dental
Department for the year ending Dee. 31st, 1924.
In caring for the mouths of the patients in an institution
as large as ours, the dentist's first concern has been, of necessity, to give relief promptly to those suffering with acute
oral disorders.
In order that this may be accomplished, those having the
patients in their immediate charge are instructed to report at
once all cases of acute oral infection that may come to their
attention.
There are many patients within the Sanitarium who wish
to conserve their teeth, whose general mental condition, whose
habits of personal cleanliness and whose willingness to co-operate with the dentist are such as to justify the most careful attention.
Such patients may be divided into two classes, (a) those
whose residence within the institution will likely terminate
at an early date, and (b) those who will probably have to
remain for an indefinite period. For the latter class thorough work, of a permanent nature, is supplied; while, for the
most part, those coming within the first class are given work
more temporary in character, that their teeth may not deteriorate during the time that may elapse before they can
again command the services of their home dentists.
The mouths of all patients are given an examination by
the dentist promptly after admission.
I would call attention to the fact that the work of a single dentist is incorporated in this report, although the patients have profited by the services of a second dentist through
the month of December, and it may not seem amiss, in this

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

connection, to express my gratification that the Board of Trustees has recognized the need of the services of a second dentist in the institution.
The dentists reside within the institution, and their services are available at all times.

done in this department during the year 1924:

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Dear Sir:
I wish to submit the following as the report of the Training
School for Nurses for the year beginning January 1st, 1923,
and ending December 31st, 1924.
The record of the year's work has been unusually good, the
class work of high order and practical.
Wo have experienced no difficulty in obtaining desirable
applicants, most of them being 21 years of age or over. We
find stadents of this age to be more reliable, interested and
ethical than younger students.
Four of our graduate, charge, nurses had a leave of absence f jr six months during the year for a post-graduate
course.
The annual commencement of the Training School was
held on the evening of July 16th in the amusement hall, Dr.
R. C. Swint, Superintendent, presiding.
The class address was eloquently delivered by Senator
Joseph B. Duke, of Eatonton.
The diplomas were presented by Hon. John T. Brantley,
President of the Board of Trustees, and the hospital pins by
Dr. Thomas M. Hall, also a member of the Board.
Miss Pauline Maxwell sang very sweetly "Where My Caravan Has Rested" and "Love, Here Is My Heart."
A dance and reception followed, music being furnished
by the Sanitarium Band.
The following are the names of the graduates receiving
diplomas:
Miss Ruth Estelle Grimes
Miss
Miss Martha Loraine Hartley Miss
Miss Nannie Mae Poss
Miss
The total number of graduates is

Mary Lucile Wynn
Estie Jane Warren
Evielena Smith

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPOR1

Report of Pharmacist
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent, Georgia State Sanitarium.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Pharmaceutical
Department for the year ending December 31st, 1924:
By comparing this report with the one of the previous
year, you will see an increase in the laboratory work and in
prescriptions sent out.
There are few changes in prices. Some few chemicals have
declined, but this is offset by advance in other essentials, such
as castor oil. Our figure for purchase of goods may seem
large, but when we consider that all surgical dressings, disinfectants, supplies for mortuary and dental departments are
included in this, the actual cost of medicine per patient is
small.
To you, the Board of Trustees, the Clinical Director and
other officers of the institution, I am truly grateful for many
helpful suggestions and hearty co-operation.

In addition to this work, we have cut about 500 cords of
wood and delivered to the buildings, cleared about 40 acres
of new ground. All the coal from the chutes has been distributed by my department. The entire road system of the
institution has been worked and kept in condition by several small improvements, as grading hills and putting sewer
piping where necessary.
During the year I have kept one mule and one horse for
their board.
I have worked seven mules short the entire year, due to
some dying and having to use some elsewhere. I let the white
occupational therapy department have one, then I had to put
two to the trash carts when we did away with the old steers. I
consider the mules a great improvement over the steers.
I sold the seven old steers for $230.00, hoping to use that
money and purchase a pair of mules to take their places.
We purchased 1,000 white leghorn baby chicks last April
* rom them we have about 365 grown pullets, from which we
expect to start a first class chicken farm.
The freeze last January killed everything we had growing
thus making us late with our vegetables, as we had to start
all over. The oat crop was also killed, but we planted a few
spring oats to get out seed for this fall.
T ie
! ¥*/& weather during July and August caused our
peas to shed their blooms, making the crop a failure.

I wish to thank you, the Board of Trustees, the officers of
the institution and others for the gratitude and co-operation
shown me and my department throughout the year.
Respectfully,
F. C. PBNUEL,
Farm Steward.

Report of Engineer
DR.

R. C.

SWINT,

Superintendent and Resident Physician.
Dear Sir:—Please find below the annual report of the
Engineer's Department for the year ending December 31st,
1924:
Improvements
Four pipe lines for taking steam and hot water from the
boiler room of the Jones Building to the John T. Brantley
Building, and for the return circulation, have been laid
under ground between the two buildings. These pipes are all
anchored under the buildings and provision has been made
for the expansion in them in a reinforced concrete manhole
set midway between the two buildings. These pipes are all
laid in approved conduit and with the best insulation available. Drainage is provided along the length of each pipe
line, which necessarily are on different levels, and the ditch
filled in with field gravel up to the center line of them.
Work on the John T. Brantley Building was begun late
in the year, but no great amount of work has been accomplished since it was necessary to get together the material for
it.
Partitions dividing the front part of two of the buildings
at the Colony into rooms for single patients have been
removed and the whole of that part of the buildings thrown
into an open dormitory, which makes for more accommodation.
A hog pen to be used for fattening hogs has been built
near the slaughter pen. This pen is 16 ft. by 18 ft. It has
a concrete floor and has a roof built over it on substantial
columns. The roof is of galvanized corrugated iron and has
an over hang of two feet on all sides.
Eight electric lights have been put in the cold storage
rooms. Marine type fixtures were used in this work in order
to prevent the "shorting" of the current from the moisture
unavoidable there. For this service it was necessary to run
a separate circuit from the switch box in the boiler room.

Eighty-Second Annual Report
OF THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1926.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor.
SIR:

The Georgia State Sanitarium completed on December
31, 1925, its eighty-second year of continuous service to the
insane, and the record made is now respectfully submitted
for your consideration by the Board of Trustees. The annual
report of the Superintendent and Resident Physician is
attached hereto and will supply interesting details of the
year's work, income and expenditures, movement of population, etc. It will be noted from this report that a total of
6,225 patients received treatment during the year, the daily
average being 4,591; that the year closed with 5,319 patients
enrolled on the books of the Sanitarium, of which number
678 were furloughed, with the right of return any time
within twelve months; that 1,175 new patients were admitted
during the year, 18 of whom were found not to be insane;
that the number of patients now in the Sanitarium exceeds
its normal capacity by 740, and that because of this fact
the doors of the Sanitarium have been closed except to the
curahle and dangerous cases; that the per capita cost of
maintenance was $229.14, the daily per capita cost being but
$.6277, which shows a slight increase over the cost of 1924;
that the Sanitarium has lived within its income, and that it
continues to advance in efficiency and, therefore, in usefulness. Credit for this happy state of affairs goes primarily
to the Superintendent and Resident Physician, and secondarily to the members of the medical and business staffs, as
well as to the nurses and attendants, who have given him
fine co-operation in his efforts to advance the well-being of
the afflicted ones in his care. It is the duty and pleasure of
the Board to heartily commend him and them for the splendid
record made.
Asylum and Hospital
The Sanitarium is charged with two distinct duties. It
must provide an asylum for the chronic insane where they
may have the humane custodial care needed by them. It

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL, REPORT

must likewise provide a hospital where recent or curable
cases of insanity may be given such care and expert treatment
as may possibly restore them to mental health. Both of these
duties have been faithfully discharged, and despite the lack
ot sufficient equipment, the Sanitarium is steadily advancing
in efficiency. The efforts of the medical staff are not confined
to the curable cases alone. Through the use of vocational
therapy and habit-forming training, satisfactory results are
being had, even among the chronic insane. The devoted interest of officers and employees has made possible what the
-tioard believes to be the best work yet done in its long and
useful history.
Growth in Population
The comparative figures here submitted illustrate the
steady increase in the population of the Sanitarium:
Year
1900 1925
No. of patients on hand at beginning of year 2,440 4 447
No. new patients received
'696 l'l75
No. patients on hand at close of year
2,551 4'640
Daily average number of patients
2^495 4^591
Total number receiving treatment in the year___3)l59 6^225
No Corresponding Increase in Equipment
Prom 1900 to 1925 three buildings for patients and one
for nurses, providing room for 1,458 patients, were added
to the Sanitarium equipment. In the same time the daily
average number of patients in the Sanitarium grew from
2,495 to 4,591, an increase of 2,096. The increase in equipment has not kept pace with the increase in population It
was over-crowded in 1900, as the report of the Board for
that year shows, and is over-crowded to-day. Some relief
has been afforded in this time by the establishment of a
colony farm for negro male patients, bv the building on the
Sanitarium grounds of pavilions for the use of tubercular
patients and by the occupancy in the present year of the
nurses home, through which rooms were vacated on the
wards for patients. But even so, room is still needed for
740 patients had in excess of the normal capacity of the
Sanitarium.
Admissions Restricted
So acute is the situation in respect of room that the
Board in October last was compelled most reluctantly to issue

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

an order to the Superintendent and Resident Physician,
directing him to decline to receive other patients, with but
two exceptions. He is permitted to receive recent or acute cases
which offer hope of benefit through proper care and treatment, and violent cases found to be dangerous to themselves
or others. This order will continue in force until additional
accommodations are had. The Board is very conscious of the
hardship and suffering caused by this order, but there was
no escape from it. A specific recommendation for the additional buildings required for the use of patients appears
elsewhere in this report.
Convict and Criminal Insane
The Board enters its most earnest protest against the
effort made from time to time to transfer to the Sanitarium
the care of the convict insane now in the custody of another
department of the State government, and with this protest
it would just as emphatically recommend an amendment to
the present law which will make it the duty of the same
department to care for the criminal insane; that is to say,
those persons who escape punishment for crime through plea
of insanity. This protest and recommendation are based on
these facts: The Sanitarium is in no sense a prison, having
neither prison walls, bars nor guards, by means of which
the escape of dangerous criminals can be prevented. It is,
on the contrary, a hospital for the mentally sick, in which by
skilled treatment and gentle, humane care they may possibly
be restored to mental health. To create a prison atmosphere
about them would be fatal to such treatment. To force the
association by law of the innocent insane with the criminal
insane now in the Sanitarium is revolting enough, but when
it is proposed to add the convict insane to their number, such
enforced association outrages every sense of decency.
Pay Patients
The present law governing the Sanitarium provides for
pay patients, but is couched in such vague terms as to make
it difficult of practical application. So much is this the case
that the Board has thus far been unable to enforce it. Its
usefulness and value are doubtful. The best interests of
society and the State demand that the insane shall be properly
cared for, it matters not whether they be paupers or possessed of means. If the effect of this law is to keep out of
the Sanitarium those who should properly be there, it operates against such interests. The law sets up no machinery

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

for determining the value of the estate of persons found to
be insane, or for collecting therefrom for the use of the Sanitarium its charge for such support. It makes no provision
for continuing in the Sanitarium on a pauper basis those
persons whose estate may become exhausted or from which no
collection can be made. If they still continue insane, it is
manifest that they can not be discharged for failure to pay.
The effect of the law, if possible of application, is to create in
'the_Sanitarium two classes of patients—those who pay and
those who do not, a distinction capable of doing much harm
to the pauper patients and most unfortunate in its effect.
The revenue possible to be had in this way will not overcome the injustice of the law. In the judgment of the Board,
it should be promptly repealed and the Sanitarium made
free, as heretofore, to the bona-fide citizens of the State whose
taxes make it possible. The division of the cost of maintenance might possibly be distributed between the State and
the County committing, but the value of this is problematical
if it shall result in keeping out of the Sanitarium, because
of such cost, those who should for the best interests of society
and the State be committed to it.
If, however, the present law is to remain unchanged it
should be clarified, and should provide the necessary machinery for ascertaining the value of the estate of such patients,
and for collecting for the use of the Sanitarium its charge
for support.
Murder of a Patient
The most terrible incident in the history of the Sanitarium occurred in September last, when Miss Amy Oxford,
instructor in vocational therapy, while passing through the
grounds in the discharge of her duties, was struck and
instantly killed by a negro patient, to be followed a few
days later 'by the murder of this patient at the hands of
parties who are still unknown. Entrance was forced at night
into the building in which he was confined, from which he
was carried into the adjoining County and there murdered
Every effort has been made by the Board to discover the
perpetrators of this horrible crime, without success The
reward offered by your Excellency for proof to convict was
supplemented by an offer by the Board of $1,000.00 for the
same proof, but no information has yet been had. The offer
continues in force. The simple doors and locks which guard
the patients are not proof against such attacks at the hands
oi determined men.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Water Supply
The consumption of water by the Sanitarium is now in
excess of 700,000 gallons daily. The pumping plant has a
capacity of 1,000,000 gallons of filtered water in twenty-four
hours. The increasing consumption also increases the pressure on the single main connecting the plant with the Sanitarium, and, therefore, increases the danger of breakage. A
part of this main is laid under a creek which at flood frequently spreads out for a mile or more. If a break should
occur at such a timte and place the impossibility of repairing
it under such condition will put the Sanitarium in a situation
not pleasant to contemplate. The only possible solution is
a duplicate main, and a recommendation is elsewhere made to
cover its cost.
Recent Additions to the Plant
The new building so long in construction was completed
during the year, and is now occupied by the nurses, for whom
it was intended. Their removal to it vacated many rooms on
the wards for the use of patients. This generous recognition
of the worth of these faithful employees is much appreciated
by them and promises to bring about a still greater improvement in the nursing service. The building and its modest
furnishings are such as reflect credit on the State.
The new ice plant provided for at the last session of
the Legislature is under way and will shortly be in use. Its
completion will supply one of the most urgent of the Sanitarium's needs. When such completion is had the old plant
will be transferred without charge to the Prison Commission
for use at the Prison Farm.
Other Equipment Which Must Be Had
1. To provide for the 740 patients now in the Sanitarium in excess of its normal capacity and to allow room
for future growth, four new buildings, two for each race,
with a capacity of not less than 1,200 patients, are now
necessary. Such buildings will care for 460 patients in
excess of the present population. With admissions slowly
mounting higher each year, and already approximating 1,200
annually, such growth is inevitable if the Sanitarium is to
continue to do its duty.
2. The greatest need of the Medical Department in
treating the acute and curable cases of insanity, and in caring
for the physically sick, is a general hospital located amid the

10

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

pleasantest surroundings possible and supplied with every
appliance known to be of value to the ends sought. Both
races should be provided for in it. It will enable the curable
cases to be separated from the chronic cases and thus remove
a present serious handicap to successful treatment. In it
should be located all of the reception wards in which new
patients are kept for observation and diagnosis, as well as
all of the hospital wards, operating rooms, etc. By means
of this concentration under one roof much better attention is
made possible. Such a hospital will greatly advance the work
of the Medical Department, and at the same time provide
more room for patients in the general wards.
3. A need of much importance is a larger amusement
hall, the present one, built many years ago, being entirely outgrown. It provides for the convalescent patients through moving pictures, concerts, dances and religious services, with
their principal pleasures, and should by all means be made
ample in size for this purpose. Whatever is needed to lessen
the pathos of their condition should be supplied with a
generous hand. The Board would suggest that such a building when erected should provide recreation rooms for the
white male attendants in which they can gather for social
pleasure when off duty.
4. A frame building is needed by the Medical Department in carrying on occupational therapy work among the
white female patients, from which such good results are
being had. The cost is very small in comparison with the
great good to come from it,
5. If fire escapes are deemed a necessity, they should
be had at once. Ladder escapes would be .as dangerous to
the patients as fire, and only tube escapes can be used.
Inside enclosed stairways have been relied on for many years
as the means of escape in case of fire, and these are bad. The
buildings are constantly patrolled at night as a further protection.
6. The growth of the Sanitarium has made necessary
more commodious offices for the officers in charge. As one
solution of this problem the Board would like to see the
Superintendent and Resident Physician; supplied with a
residence in keeping with the dignity of his position and
roomy enough to enable him to dispense the hospitality
expected of one in his position. His present quarters in the
Powell Building could then be converted into offices.

Amendments to the Law Recommended
The Board recommends an amendment to the law which
will make the Sanitarium free to bona-fide citizens of the
State:
Also that the present name of the Sanitarium to be
changed to read "State Hospital for the Insane," the better
to define its functions.
The Appreciation of the Board
The Board makes grateful acknowledgment of the generous support given it by your Excellency, by the State
Auditor and by the General Assembly in its faithful effort
to have the Sanitarium fully realize the merciful purpose
for which it was founded. It begs for an even more generous
support in the future, that it may be in position to do all that
is humanly possible for the relief of these sorely afflicted ones
for whom it is responsible. With a prayer that the blessings
of a Merciful Father may continue to rest on this great house
of mercy, this report is respectfully submitted.
By order of the Board of Trustees.

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Report of the Superintendent
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1926.

The Honorable Board of Trustees,
Georgia State Sanitarium,
Milledgeville, Ga.
GENTLEMEN :
In accordance with your rules and statutory requirements, I respectfully submit the Eighty-second Annual Report of the Georgia State Sanitarium, which covers the period
from January 1, 1925, through December 31, 1925.
Appended hereto are reports of the Clinical Director,
Pathologist, Dentist, Superintendent of Nurses, Pharmacist,
Engineer, Steward, Farm Steward and Treasurer. These
reports give a general review of the activities of the institution in its various departments throughout the year.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

A comparative study of the above statistics shows that
first admissions increased 32, readmissions decreased 8, and
total admissions increased 24, as compared to the previous
year. The percentage of the discharges from the records
(patients who remained on furlough over twelve months) as
recovered and improved, based on the number of admissions,
was 35.5%, compared with 35.8% the previous year; also
the daily average was 202 more, and the deaths 10 less.
Of the actual resident patient population, 852 patients
were furloughed during the year, and of this number 660,
or 56%, were restored or improved—based on the total admissions; 174 were unimproved, but clinically harmless, and 18
were discharged as not insane.
Over-crowding has been, and continues one of our most
pressing problems. It has greatly handicapped the efficiency
of the institution throughout the year.
The records and previous reports of the Sanitarium show
that this has been a serious problem for many years. The
actual resident patient population has never been as great
as it is now, and the over-crowding never so acute, and as
serious. It is unjust to new admissions, as well as those
already in the Sanitarium to allow over-crowding of such
proportions, and I hope that the above statement will be
adequate without more word painting to indicate the seriousness of this problem.
In order to clarify the situation, it might be well to
note just here that the additional 198 beds available after
opening the John T. Brantley Building (nurses' home) on
July 15th, 1925, gave the Sanitarium a normal capacity of
3,900 beds, and these additional beds provided a slight relief
for_excessive over-crowding on white female reception wards,
but overcrowding there is still hazardous, as we are still
required to sleep two patients in rooms intended for only one.
We began the year with an actual resident patient population of 4,447 and closed with 4,640, a net increase of 193,
or an actual over-crowding of 740 above normal capacity, not
counting 678 patients on parole, who have the privilege of
returning, if necessary, during their furlough period.
It seems that many of the Counties over the State have
abolished their almshouses, and there appears a slight grow-

14

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

ing tendency to commit to the Sanitarium senile persons who
are more or less invalids; also feeble-minded individuals who
might be cared for at home with some extra personal attention, or who might be successfully cared for in County almshouses.
When we decline the application for admission of such
type of cases, we find it difficult to resist the appeals of relatives, and in some instance physicians and politicians, who
seem not to hesitate to exaggerate the merits of the applicant.
We hope, however, that by adhering to resolutions below
that you adopted at full Board meeting in October, 1925,
there will result a decrease in number of admissions during
the coming year, and that the total discharges will outnumber
or at least equal total admissions, and thereby prevent any
further population increase.
We cannot feel so sanguine about this, however, as the
applications for admission seem to be increasing.
The following is the copy of letter mailed to the Ordinaries containing the resolutions above referred to:
"Judge Court of Ordinary.
"DEAR SIR:

"I am instructed by the Board of Trustees of the Georgia
State Sanitarium to send to the Ordinaries of the various
Counties of the State the following resolutions adopted at this
meeting, October 22, 1925:
"The over-crowded condition of the Sanitarium being
under consideration, the following action was had:
"It appearing that the Georgia State Sanitarium,
with a normal capacity of 3,900 patients, is now taxed
with the care of 4,650, with 676 other patients furloughed, with the right to return within twelve months,
and that as a result of this condition two and three patients are crowded into rooms intended for one, which
is dangerous, unsanitary and a handicap to treatment;
and these facts have been repeatedly reported by the
Board of Trustees, with no relief granted; and that
the ever-increasing demand for admission makes some
action by the Board imperative; therefore,

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

"It is ordered, effective October 28, 1925, that the
Superintendent of the Sanitarium shall enforce the
following rules:
"1. Admission shall be granted to very urgent
cases; that is, to young acute cases whose symptoms
are of recent origin, and who offer hope of benefit by
treatment, and to violent cases dangerous to themselves and others, who cannot be safely cared for at
home, and are unable to pay for treatment in a private
hospital.
"2. Admission shall be denied to senile, feebleminded and harmless incurable cases who cannot be
benefited by treatment.
"3. Ordinaries shall be required to send the Superintendent in advance of commitment a full history of
each and every case proposed to be committed, in order
that he may determine if and when said applicant may
be received.
"4 A copy of this action shall be sent to every
Ordinary of the State, in order that he may have a
clear understanding of the condition which makes this
action necessary and imperative.
"5. These rules shall continue in force as long
as the present condition prevails."
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a review of
the medical work and nursing service for the year. Notwithstanding the shortage of staff members, the medical work
was kept at the usual standard of excellence. The Clinical
Director and Staff more actively interested themselves in
habit training, and some gratifying results were obtained
along this line.
The monthly bulletin of the Clinical Director has been
of interest and help to the nursing personnel. We anticipate
further development and results along this line during the
coming year.
The Sanitarium population was not afflicted with any
epidemics of acute physical illness, except during the sum-

16

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

mer there was a short epidemic of acute enteritis of unknown
cause. A rather extensive laboratory study of this disease
failed to give us any information as to its cause. Clinically
it was characterized by diarrhoea, with very little temperature
reaction, but with profound prostration, and in many instances rapid fatal termination. The same type of illness
occurred about the same period in other localities of the
State. It was not traceable to any local dietary cause. Our
total death rate during the year, based on the number under
treatment, was 6.94%.
Dr. Joseph Goldberger, of Washington, D. O, of the
United States Public Health Service, continued his research
studies of pellagra with Dr. G. A. Wheeler, of the Public
Health 'Service, in immediate charge of this work. The research work of these two physicians has been of interest,
stimulating, and has given us valuable information concerning the cause and treatment of this dreadful malady.
During the early part of the year, with your permission,
we arranged with Dr. Sam Darling, of the Rockefeller
Foundation, who had charge of the malarial research station
at Leesburg, Ga., to send a member of his staff here to work
with our Staff in doing some research study of the malarial
treatment of general paralysis of the insane. Dr. Henry
Carr, of the Foundation, was sent, and, working with members of our Staff, inoculated fifty-five cases of general paralysis of the insane. We are not yet prepared to offer an
opinion as to the merits of this type of treatment, but results
noted to date are not so encouraging.
The unfortunate occurrence during September resulting
in the death of Miss Amy Oxford, our Occupation Therapy
Director, and in a few days the lynching of the colored male
patient who struck her, by an unknown mob, cast a gloom
over the entire Sanitarium for some time. I hope that the
institution will never have to experience another such trying
ordeal. The Sanitarium is a hospital, and not a prison.
Therefore, we are not prepared to offer armed resistance to
the invasion of mobs.
The establishment of the school psychiatric clinic at
Blberton in September expanded our extra mural activities,
and in the course of time should prove of value. The edu-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

17

cational propaganda and advice obtained from such clinics
properly conducted has a far-reaching effect toward causing
the public to get away from old superstitions, and to assume
a more correct attitude toward mental disease and the Sanitarium. A member of our Staff conducts this clinic twice a
month. The psychiatric clinic at Macon, that we have been
conducting for several years, was kept up, and held weekly
by one of our Staff members. It has become rather definitely
established, and is now regarded as a part of the regular
medical program for the City of Macon and its vicinity.
Dental Service
It is generally recognized by physicians and dentists that
diseased teeth and infections have a pathological effect on
the human organism, and in order that this feature of treatment may receive proper attention, the Sanitarium employs
two full-timed dentists, one for the female service and one
for the male service. Both of these dentists reside in the
institution, and devote their entire time to the dental service.
The report of the Senior Dentist gives the character and
amount of work done in this department during the year.
Recreational Diversions
The Clinical Director's report gives a review of the
activities during the year in the Occupation Therapy Department, It is our policy to interest patients in some form of
diversion as soon as possible after their admission. On account
of the large population of the hospital, and our limited facilities, this work has to be mainly concentrated on new admissions, although a large per cent, of our hospital population
is daily engaged in some form of work that is more or less
beneficial to them, and very necessary for the operation of
the hospital. The weekly dances and picture shows were
kept up during the year. Our projection machine, unfortunately, caught fire in December, and it was practically destroyed, with damage to the booth and amusement hall. The
picture shows will have to be discontinued until the machine
is replaced, and an absolutely fire-proof booth constructed.
When the weather was favorable we made the rule of
taking all the patients that were able, out of the buildings
to the recreation grounds twice daily. Many of them were
given walks over the grounds, and some of the white females
were given picnics by the occupation teachers.

18

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

The Sanitarium Band kept up the tri-weekly concerts.
The band leader also organized an orchestra that played at
the picture shows, which added to its entertainment feature.
Religious services were held every Sunday afternoon
as formerly.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives a detailed account of
the receipts and disbursements made during the year. Our
per capita cost was $229.14, compared with $227.10 the previous year. The per diem cost was .6277, compared to .6222.
These figures include every item of cost connected with hospitalization of patients, as well as maintenance and repairs
of physical plant. However, the institution could not be
operated on so small a per capita cost at the same standard
of efficiency without the aid of our farm, garden and dairy
productions, and the practice of strict economy on every
hand.
But there are many needs and improvements that might
be added for the welfare of our unfortunate charges if funds
were more liberally appropriated. I think that the dominant
question in our minds should be—What are we doing for our
patients, rather than how cheaply are we operating the institution.
In this connection it might be of interest to note that
we spent $48,952.00 more for food, $6,751.00 less for clothing
and dry goods, and $14,798.00 less for fuel compared to the
previous year.
The report of the Farm Steward gives a tabulated statement of the productions for the year of the farm, garden,
dairy and poultry yard.
Improvements and Repairs
The report of the Engineer gives a detailed description
of the items constructed in this department during the year.
We are delighted to report that the John T. Brantley Building (home for white female employes) has been completed,
furnished and occupied since July 15th. It is modern in
construction and furnishings. We are proud of it. I believe
that it will prove a benediction to the institution.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

19

Other notable improvements were the construction of
three badly needed tubercular pavilions for colored females,
and the addition of verandas to the two old ones which are
now occupied by colored males. These additions now provide
adequate quarters for the tubercular cases among our colored
population.
The two tile silos, with combined capacity of 600 tons
of silage, that were constructed at the dairy, provides^ muchneeded addition that should contribute to the efficiency of
the dairy.
The replacement of concrete floors in bath and toilet
rooms in the Twin Building were other needed improvements.
These replacements were completed on six of the wards, but
this work had to be discontinued for awhile. It might be wise
to consider extending this type of improvement to the other
wards of the institution.
Plans also have been made and work begun on the construction of the new ice and cold storage plant. We hope to
have this completed by summer.
Needs Requiring Special Appropriations
1. Over-crowding is the Sanitarium's most acute problem. I think it would be wiser for the State to build another
State Hospital for Mental Disease in some other section of
the State rather than further enlarge this institution, although
it would be practicable to enlarge this plant to a 6,000 patient
basis.
2. If this institution is to provide adequate facilities
for caring for the present needs and demands of the mentally afflicted in the State, it should now have four additional buildings to provide for 740 patients who are already
over-crowding our normal capacity, in addition to making a
capacity provision for annual increase of about 200 population from new admissions.
Estimated cost for four buildings, $700,000.00.
3. In my opinion a modern hospital building with adequate capacity and equipment to care for the special medical
and surgical needs of the entire Sanitarium would be a farseeing and progressive addition. It would have a great influence toward hospitalizing the atmosphere of the entire Sani-

20

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

tarium, and provide an equipment essential for the study and
treatment of the very complex problems of the mentally
afflicted.
Estimated cost, $250,000.00.
4. As previously recommended: A duplicate water
main from pumping station to Sanitarium. Estimated cost,
$44,000.00.
Occupation Therapy building for white females. Estimated cost, $10,000.00.
Outside fire escapes. Estimated cost, $25,000.00.
Amusement hall adequate for Sanitarium population.
Estimated cost, $50,000.00.
Conclusion
In concluding this report, I desire to express my gratitude to your honorable body for your official co-operation,
personal kindness and constant interest in the affairs of the
institution throughout the year. Also to aknowledge my appreciation of the faithful services rendered by the officers
and the employes, and to thank the Women's Clubs, American Legion, Knights of Columbus and others who were so
thoughtful and kind with so many gifts to the patients during
the Christmas season.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Clinical Director
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

I have the honor of submitting the report of the Medical
Department of the Sanitarium for the year ending December
31, 1925:
During the year 1,175 patients were received. Of these
954 were first admissions and 221 were readmissions.
Of the readmissions, 44 had been admitted to either private hospitals or to other state hospitals; 177 had been previously admitted to this hospital.
Twenty-two patients were diagnosed as not insane. Of
these, 2 showed no evidence of insanity after admission and
no history was obtained pointing definitely to mental disturbance before admission. In three cases the commitment
seems to have been due to alcoholism; in the case of two,
criminal charges had been preferred; one drug addict not
insane was admitted; one suffered from encephalitis; two
from epilepsy; eight were classified as constitutional psychopathic inferiority and three as mentally deficient.
Ten criminals were sent by order of court, eight whites
and two colored. The court charges were as1 follows: Stealing,
1; vagrancy, 2; homicide, 3 ; beastiality, 1; wife-beating, 1;
robbery, 1; larceny, 1. Of these ten, one suffered from manic
depressive insanity; 2 dementia praecox; 4 psychosis associated with mental deficiency, and 3 were not insane. In the
case of the homicides, 1 was classified as dementia praecox,
1 as mental deficiency (low grade, not responsible), and 1,
who came late in the year, is still under observation.
Eight hundred and fifty-two (852) patients were furloughed, of whom 665 were restored or improved. Leaving
out the not insane patients received, this gives us a recovery
rate of 57%. Twenty of the furloughed patients were removed
to government hospitals for ex-veterans.

22

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

There were no epidemics or outbreaks of acute disease
during the year other than an enteritis of unidentified character. Rather extensive laboratory investigations did not
reveal any etiological factor. There were reasons for thinking
that it may have been the enteric form of influenza. It was
prevalent in this section at the time.
There were 396 deaths, a percentage of 7.0 of those
treated. The leading causes of death in their order were as
follows: Arteriosclerosis, 59; cerebral hemorrhage, 44; general paralysis of the insane, 41; broncho pneumonia, 38;
tuberculosis, 37. Only seven deaths were assigned to pellagra.
Of these six died within twenty-five days after admission
and the seventh died three months and twenty-six days after
being admitted. Following the observations and recommendations of Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler, yeast has been used
as an adjunct to the dietetic treatment of pellagra and has
been found to be a valuable therapeutic agent in the acute
stages of this disease.
We here acknowledge our indebtedness to Fleischman
Company for having furnished generous quantities of yeast
to the institution. These manufacturers have agreed to furnish yeast again for the year 1926, and it is expected that a
much more satisfactory estimate of the value of yeast as a
therapeutic agent in pellagra will be arrived at. It may be
of interest to recall that in 1915 a diagnosis of phychosis
due to pellagra was made in the case of 210 patients and
that 220 deaths were assigned to pellagra in that year. In
the year 1925 the diagnosis of psychosis due to pellagra was
made in twenty-three instances, and that, as above stated,
seven deaths were due to this disease in the same year.
Fifty-seven (57) patients died within one month after
admission. This is about the same as in former years.
In 1905 our death rate from tuberculosis per thousand
patients treated was 30; in 1925 it was 6.4, a reduction of 78
per cent. For many years approximately 40 per cent, of
the deaths from tuberculosis in our hospital have occurred
among the colored females. The erection during the year of
the three new tubercular pavilions for this department will
provide for the removal of the known active cases from the
main buildings. During the year no inconsiderable amount
of time has been spent by the physicians in charge of this

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

department in the routine examination of the old patients
for the purpose of reducing the morbidity and mortality of
tuberculosis. Some of the wards in this department are overcrowded by 130 per cent. This, together with the natural
predisposition of the colored race to the disease, makes an
ideal situation for its development.
The treatment of paresis by the inoculation of such
patients with malaria was tried out during the year. This
work was done jointly by Dr. Carr of the Rockefeller Commission for the study of malaria and two members of the
regular staff, Drs. Yarbrough and Oden. The results were
very disappointing. A total of 55 patients were inoculated
with the blood of malarial carriers. Twenty-one were whites
and 34 were colored. All of the whites were "takes" and
showed more or less satisfactory rises in temperature. One
of these died within the year and one went out on furlough
as not improved, the others remaining in the institution at
the end of the year. Thirty-four negroes were inoculated in
the same way as the whites. Seventeen of these showed no
signs of malaria, either serologically or clinically. The remaining 17 showed malarial parasites in the blood, but only
3 had more than a negligible amount of fever. Only one of
the colored patients showed any marked improvement.
It seems of more than passing significance that the colored race appears to be so much less susceptible to inoculation with malaria than the whites, when we consider the
fulminating character of paresis in the former race. In the
years 1920-1922, inclusive, 59 white and 120 colored paretics
were admitted. At this time (February, 1926) 13.5 per cent,
of the white and 4.1 per cent, of the colored patients are still
in the institution; 13.5 per cent, of the whites and 5.8 per
cent, of the colored patients have been discharged; 72.8 per
cent, of the whites and 90 per cent, of the colored patients
have died within the institution. The average length of life
of the whites who died in the institution was 441 days; for
the colored it was 183 days. As may be readily conceived,
there might have been a difference in duration before admission.
Our pathologist and his assistants have spent, their
usual busy year in the laboratory. A total of 7,786 specimens
were examined during the year. The routine procedures as

24

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

practiced in the laboratories are set forth in Dr. Saye 's report
and contain much that is instructive as well as of interest.
The recommendation for the establishment of ward
laboratories, if carried out, would relieve the main laboratory
of a mass of routine work and leave the pathologist free to
devote more time to research, a thing very much to be desired.
When the additional story is added this will further facilitate the laboratory work. As it is now, too much time is consumed in the routine common to any clinical laboratory and
not enough to the furtherance of our knowledge of mental
diseases.
Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler have continued their valuable work in pellagra and have robbed this disease of much
of its mystery, of many of its terrors.
Our training school under the efficient management of
Mrs. Jones has continued to do the good work of former
years and needs no comment for those who are acquainted
with its good standing.
In October and November a course of instruction was
given the new attendants. This consisted of recitations and
quizzes from a pamplet prepared for the purpose. This pamphlet has been twice revised, and is still far from satisfactory.
It is expected that this course will be repeated in May and
October in the coming year. The publication of the Bulletin
has been continued as stimulant to interest.
Following the death of Miss Amy Oxford, Miss Brown
took charge of the Occupation Department in the female
service. She has proven herself efficient and capable. This
department is still badly cramped for the lack of facilitiesmore especially a suitable building. In the white male department better progress has been made because of better arrangements. During the coming year more shop space and equipment will be added, thus avoiding the necessity of calling on
the regular institutional shop for help. We have on the
premises an abundance of good clay, and the development of
pottery-making and allied work, would open a new and most
interesting field for occupation for both males and females.
I believe that good nursing aided materially in the recovery rate for the past year, but there is much room for improvement, Some of the most gratifying work done in the

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

25

whole institution has been in the line of habit training. The
response of cases of dementia praecox of long standing has
been surprising, as well as pleasing. Not a great many cases
have been tried systematically, but in not a single instance
has there been a complete failure.
The clinic in Macon continues with good attendance and
good results. The establishment of the clinic at Elberton has
afforded further needs for mental hygiene. Such work proves
of value not only to the community, but to the physician
who conducts it.
The added equipment and improvement to our X-ray
outfit has added materially to its efficiency. Bight hundred
and five pictures were made, fifty-three fluroscopic examinations were made and 50 treatments were given.
I wish to thank you and the Board for generous aid to
the medical service.
Aknowledgment is here made for assistance and aid rendered by other departments.
I am particularly grateful for the co-operation of the
staff and nursing service.
Respectfully submitted,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

Ward Laboratories
The purpose of a pathological laboratory in a state hospital is twofold—to make the numerous and varying kinds
of examinations that the scientific practice of medicine demands, and to endeavor, through investigation, to enlarge the
boundaries of knowledge concerning nervous and mental
diseases. At present, my time and that of the technicians
is largely consumed by many procedures which, although
essential to the efficient care of the sick and to modern neuropsychiatric diagnosis, are of minor importance so far as skill
necessary to making them is concerned. These examinations
should not diminish in number. On the other hand, there
should, perhaps, be a larger number done than at present. In
order, therefore, that the laboratory may have more time to
devote to investigative work, while at the same time an increased amount of laboratory service may be made more readily available, I would suggest that you consider the advisability of establishing three ward laboratories—one each for
the white male and white female departments and one for
colored buildings. A period of instruction in the laboratory
should qualify nurses selected for duty in the ward laboratories to do all of the simpler, essentially clinical examinations, such as urinalyses, sputum for tubercle bacilli, and blood
counts.
If the establishment of ward laboratories is believed to be
inexpedient at present, we should, perhaps, begin the training
of an additional assistant in laboratory technique and in embalming.
Building
When the contemplated addition of an upper story to
the present laboratory building is made, our work will be
facilitated. It should provide greater access of daylight and
more freedom from dust. The upper story, suitably divided,
will permit the serological, pathological, bacteriological and
clinical laboratory phases of the work to proceed with less
interruption. The first story will furnish ample room for the
embalming and necropsy work, for the storage of supplies
of the Mortuary Department, and space for a suitable chapel.
Respectfully,
E. B. SAVE,
Pathologist.

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1926.
DR.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

The following is the annual report of the Training School
for Nurses for the year ending December 31st, 1925:
The nurses moved into the beautiful new home, "Brantley Hall," July 11th. It is exceedingly comfortable and well
equipped, giving the nurses every comfort.
The hours of rest and recreation away from the wards
have improved the service and disposition of the nurses very
much.
Every effort has been made to keep the school up to the
highest standard. All classes have been held regularly, and
all instructors have shown marked interest and purpose in
giving the students the very best theoretical course possible.
The annual commencement was held July 15th, at 8 :30
o'clock, in the Amusement Hall.
Miss Jane Van deVrede, Secretary of the Nurse Examining Board of Georgia, gave the class address, which was
much enjoyed by the nurses and the large audience.
Diplomas were awarded to seven graduates by Hon.
John T. Brantley, President of the Board of Trustees, and
the hospital pins by Hon. C. C. Brantley, Secretary of the
Board.
A reception and dance at the nurses' home followed,
music being furnished by the Sanitarium Band.
The following are the names of the nurses receiving diplomas:
Miss Blanche Barker
Miss Love Estelle Kelly
Miss Essie Cummings
Miss Lannie McKinley
Miss Mary Henrietta McDade Miss Ruby Poss
Miss Allene Elizabeth Thompson
The total number of graduates is 120.

The regular course for new attendants was given to a
class of fifty-two by Dr. N. P. Walker in October and November.
I would like to recommend the erection of a hospital
building for the care of all medical and surgical cases of the
institution, with one central operating room, diet kitchen and
laboratory. This would give all sick patients better nursing,
under closer supervision, and the students a wider and a more
varied practical course.
I wish to thank you for your suppport and consideration, and the Medical Staff for lectures and medical services
rendered the students and attendants during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
(Mrs.)

MAE

M. JONES, R. N. (Ohio),

In addition to this work, we have cut about six hundred
(600) cords of stove wood, cleared about thirty (30) acres of
new ground. All the coal from the chutes has been distributed to the buildings and all the cinders hauled away from
the boiler rooms. The entire road system of the institution
has been worked and kept in condition by my department.
We have been doing some grading around the dairy.
We graded and planted bermuda grass around Drs. Bradford and Echol's houses. We also hauled several loads of
sand for the Engineer's Department.
I wish to thank you, the Board of Trustees, the officers

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Engineer
DR.

P. C. SWINT,
Superintendent and Resident Physician.

DEAR SIR:

Please find below the annual report of the Engineer's
Department for the year ending December 31st, 1925:
Improvements
The John T. Brantley Building has been completed. A
complete kitchen has been outfitted in the basement of this
building, with an elevator running to the dining room above.
A trunk storage room has been established in the basement,
and a small laundry, with facilities for electric ironing, has
been outfitted in an adjoining room to the kitchen. Steam for
the kitchen has been brought from the boiler room of the
Powell Buiding. A part of this steam line runs underground
between the buildings. This part of the line was run through
RicWil pipe covering, and is otherwise well insulated.
The electric stoves and ovens used by the Dietitian with
her classes has been removed from the Whittle Building to
the class room in the John T. Brantley Building, set up there
and connected to the electric wiring.
The high water of January left an immense bank of
sand in the river a short distance above the intake well of
our waterworks, and raised the sand in the bed of the river
to such a height that it lacked but a short distance of being
up to the opening in the intake well through which we take
our water. Since the general level of the water in the river
has been raised by the building of a concrete dam across the
river at the power station just below us, it became necessary
to build the walls of the intake well higher, and to place on
the river side a couple of sluice gates for the control of the
level from which the water is taken. A portion of this work
has been done, and we have on hand the sluice gates ready
to be put in just as soon as a period of low water sets in
and the weather gets warm enough to work in the water. A
temporary curbing of wood staves has been placed around
the intake well. This will protect the opening until such
time as we shall be able to get at in the summer.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

75

A doorway has been cut between two rooms in the Male
Convalescent Building, making a couple of offices for the
dentist there. Electric wiring has been done for the several
dental engines in these rooms, and steam and plumbing fixtures installed.
The wooden posts supporting the radiators and the radiator housings in the basement of the Powell Building have
been cut off eight inches above the floor. Brick pillars have
been built in the place in the ends of the posts so removed,
to the end that the rotting of the posts might not throw the
radiators down.
Four hundred and sixty-five squares of flooring have
been laid in the Negro Building.
The power sewing machine table in the white sewing
room has been lengthened by the addition of one section, and
two power sewing machines added to the equipment. Two old
foot power machines, which had been driven by power, have
been discarded, and in their places two new power machines
have been put.
A water heater, left on hand from the changes necessary
for the supply of the John T. Brantley Building, has been
put up in the laundry and connections made with the "West
Detached Building and the nearby T. B. Ward.
A deep well hand pump has been installed in the well
by the dining room at the Colony.
The gas engine driven triplex pump at the Colony waterworks has been overhauled and has had new plungers and
connecting rods put in it.
Much work has been done on the old ice machine from
time to time during the year in patching it up, and in putting
in new parts where absolutely necessary, in order to keep the
old machine going until we could get the new one, for which
we have an appropriation, installed.
The chicken house on the south side of the Twin Building has been remodeled and made rat proof, so far as the
foundations and floor is concerned, by concrete floors and
foundations.
The front porch floor and the steps of the Cabaniss Building, which were of wood, have been replaced with concrete.

76

EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

Concrete steps have been placed down the terrace in
front of the Whittle and of the Cabaniss Buildings. Each
flight is ten feet wide and consists of fifteen steps.
Two tile silos have been built at the dairy. The site
selected for the silos being on newly made ground, it was
necessary to go seven and a half feet below the dairy floor
before a good foundation could be secured. This excavation
was utilized in making the silos by bringing this part of them
up to the dairy floor level, built of reinforced concrete. The
silos are 20 feet in diameter and 41 feet 6 inches high. The
combined capacity is 600 tons of silage.
Three pavilions have been built in the rear of the Negro
Building. Each building is 131 feet long by 21 feet wide.
Each has a porch 79 feet long by 10% feet wide. They are
nicely constructed of dressed long-leaf yellow pine, and are
painted inside and out. Each building has an open central
section 77y2 feet long. This section, above a height of four
feet above the floor, is open to the weather, except for a line
of sash running three feet above the solid portion of the
wall. These sash can be lowered into pockets when required.
In the ends of the buildings are the service rooms; two toilet
rooms, two nurses' bedrooms, a dining room, a pantry and a
clothes room.
The two older T. B. pavilions just west of the new ones
have had porches built to them similar to those on the new
buildings.
Six bath and six toilet rooms in the Twin Buildings
have had the wooden floors and the lath and plastered partitions taken out and the replacement made with concrete. One
bath tub in each of the six bath rooms has been taken out and
a shower bath put in its place. In each toilet room an enameled iron slop sink has been placed.
All of the return pipes in the back yard of the older part
of the Negro Building have been taken out and new pipes
put in.
One corner of the Negro Building kitchen has been underpinned to prevent the further development of a crack due
to a settlement of the foundation.
Six 36-inch ventilators have been put on the roof over
the dining rooms of the Twin Buildings. Connections have
been made with these to openings in the dining room below.
Twelve new steam radiators have been put in the Green
Building, and twelve in the Negro Building to replace others
which had rusted out.

77

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

A small brick room has been built under the tower shed
for the housing of the series outside light regulating apparatus.
Plans have been made for the construction of a brick
and concrete public comfort station on the lower level of the
lawn in front of the Twin Buildings.
A new transformer has been placed at the Twin Building,
replacing one burnt out by lightning.
Plans have been made for the ice plant to be built and
for the additional cold storage rooms required.
An additional room, with sleeping porch attached, has
been added to one of the cottages.
Two small buildings have been razed from the site of
the ice works, the site graded, the foundations dug out and
filled in with concrete up to the point where the brick walls
start. The foundations for the refrigeration tank have also
been laid.
The building of three six-room cottages, to be occupied
by as many physicians and their families, has been commenced.
The dining room at the Colony and one of the dormitories have been refloored.
The kitchen at the Colony has been refloored with concrete. The floor is drained to a central cesspool and from
there to the sewer, which has been extended some 200 feet
into the adjoining field.
A 56-foot Seagrave extension ladder has been added to
the fire fighting equipment.
The water mains have been extended to afford fire protection to the John T. Brantley Building, and three additional
fire hydrants have been placed around it. These, with the
hydrants already in position near the building, give it all the
protection of this kind needed.
In addition to the ordinary repair work of the institution, the carpenter shop, the furniture and harness repair
shop, the paint shop, broom factory and shoe repair shop
have been kept busy in manufacturing and repairing various
articles used in the different departments.
Respectfully submitted,
T. H.

Eighty-Third Annual Report
OP

THE

BOARD OP TRUSTEES OP THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1927.

To His Excellency, Clifford Walker, Governor.
SIR:

The Board of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium
begs to submit herewith the report required by law to be made
of the conduct and management of this institution. It covers
the year 1926 and is the eighty-third to be so made.
The annual report of the Superintendent and Resident
Physician, supported by those of heads of departments, is
attached hereto and will supply details of the year's work.
The record made is highly creditable and merits for the
Superintendent and his assistants the commendation of the
Board.
The recommendations presented herein are of first importance and should have immediate attention. The cost
involved is large, but no larger than the purpose to be served.
It is not possible to state the needs of so vast and populous
an institution in small sums, especially when some of the
needs have been long neglected. A longer delay in supplying
them will be full of danger.
Population
A gain of 208 in the number of resident patients as noted,
the total number to-day being 4848, with 646 other patients
out on furlough. The daily average number was 4782, an
increase over the preceding year of 191.
Applications for admission totaled 1402, of which 1180
were admitted and 105 denied. Admission was granted 117
who were not presented after being notified.
Financial
The cost of maintenance was $1,119,759.62. The cost for
each patient was $234.16, or $0.6415 per day, which is a little
higher than last year.

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

For the maintenance of the Sanitarium in the next biennial period the careful estimate of the Steward shows that
$2,351,307.00 will be needed.
For the special purposes to be set out in the recommendations referred to, appropriations totaling $1,496,150.00 will
be required.
The Physical Plant
Three frame cottages for officers' use were added in the
year, lumber being had from timber owned by the Sanitarium.
Purchase was made of 322 additional acres of pasture
land for the use of the dairy.
Purchase was also made of an approved type of motor
fire pumper for the further fire protection it affords. It is
now installed and is named "T. H. DeSaussure" in honor of
one of the oldest and most valuable officers of the Sanitarium.
The stand pipe in the rear of the Powell Building is now
so old as to be beyond repair and must be razed. It is necessary to replace it with one of larger size and higher elevation.
Careful study should be given to the removal to one central location of the many steam heating plants now in use,
through which a more economical service can be had. With
it should go the woodshop in the rear of the Powell Building
in the interest of neatness of the grounds and to remove a
dangerous fire hazard. The consolidation should include a
steam driven electric power and light plant, so designed as
to make use of the exhaust steam for heating the buildings.
The cost of this improvement will be heavy and in the face
of greater and more urgent needs no recommendation is yet
made that it be provided.
Legal Amendments Needed
The Board calls attention to its inability to enforce the
law governing admissions as found in Michie's compiliation
of the Code, "Guardians and Wards," Chapter 3, Article 2,
Section 3102, because of the confusion therein. It should be
clarified or repealed. It seeks to create pay and pauper patients, the last being those who are possessed of estates valued
under $3,000. It provides no method of valuing such estates,

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

nor for the collection and payment to the Sanitarium of its
"reasonable charge for board and keep." It makes no provision for those inmates who shall have their estate exhausted,
lost or stolen, or which shall fail to produce a sufficient income for their support. It is not retroactive and applies to
new admissions only. The Board would suggest that the State
must of necessity place under custodial care its insane citizens
regardless of their possession. If they are possessed of property it is already taxed for the support of the Sanitarium.
It is conceivable there may be those of means whose family
or kindred will refuse to apply for commitment because of
the expense involved. In the opinion of the Board the interests of society are best served by making the Sanitarium
free to the citizens of the State. It is obvious a patient cannot and ought not to be discharged before restoration simply
because of the failure of estate or income therefrom. Internally the effect of this law, could it be enforced, on the
patients will be most unhappy because of the distinction
drawn among themselves between those who pay and those
who are paupers. There is perhaps one exception which can
be made, and this in cases where an estate is had with no
family or near dependent kindred. In such cases it would
seem proper the law shall vest such estate in the Board of
Trustees for the use and support of the patient, it being provided that on his discharge the residue of such estate shall
be returned to him, or that at his death it shall become the
property of the Sanitarium. In such eases the Sanitarium
takes the place of family and kindred.
If the burden of properly supporting the Sanitarium is
become too great for the State to carry alone consideration
might be given pro-rating the cost between the State and the
counties on some fair and equitable basis.
This law also attempts to define the classes who shall or
shall not be admitted, but it lacks clearness.
For these and other reasons the Board recommends the
repeal of this law, and the enactment of the following:
SANITARIUM FREE TO WHOM: The said Sanitarium shall be free to all bona fide citizens of the State
who may be insane or afflicted with mental disease. No
paralytic invalid, epileptic, idiot, imbecile, drug addict
or alcoholic addict who is not insane shall be committed
or admitted to it.

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

The history which must accompany all applications
for admission to the said Sanitarium shall contain adequate and just reasons why such admission should be had,
and if such reasons are not given, the Superintendent
may refuse admission.
If the family or friends of any person who shall be
committed and admitted to the said Sanitarium shall
desire to furnish clothing, extra food or other comforts,
they may be allowed to do so at their own cost under such
rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Board
of Trustees.
If any person who is committed and admitted to the
said Sanitarium shall be possessed of an estate and shall
be without family or near dependent relatives, such estate
shall vest in the Board of Trustees of the Sanitarium to
be expended for his use and support, it being provided
that in the event of his discharge any residue remaining
of such estate shall be put into his possession, or that in
the event of the death of such inmate his estate shall then
become the property of the Sanitarium.
Recommendation is also made that the examination now
required to be made by the Board of applicants for the place
of assistant physician be repealed. The license of the State
should be quite sufficient provided the other qualifications are
had.
Recommendation is also made that the name of the
Sanitarium be changed to "Georgia State Hospital," the better to indicate its field and to avoid the confusion arising from
the similarity in names with another State institution.
Death of Trustee Rawlings
The Board records with deep regret the death of one of
its members, Dr. William Rawlings, which occurred at his
home in Sandersville on August 1, 1926. He brought to its
sessions the experience of a successful man of large affairs,
an expert knowledge of medical and hospital matters, a sane
and sound judgment and an understanding sympathy which
made him a most useful member. These qualities together
with his unfailing courtesy, fine mind and warm heart greatly
endeared him to his colleagues.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

General
A fire which occurred during the year in one of the
main buildings, fortunately in the day time, was extinguished
after a hard fight without loss of life or limb, and without
serious property damage. Grateful acknowledgement is now
made the cities of Milledgeville and Macon for the immediate response of their fire departments to a call for their help
at a moment when a general conflagration seemed inevitable.
The Sanitarium fire department was of invaluable help in getting the fire under control. Through the calmness and good
judgment of officers, nurses and other employes the inmates
of the building were moved to safety.
No clue has yet been had leading to the murderer or
murderers of the negro patient who was forcibly removed
at night from one of the buildings in September, 1925, and
murdered. This shocking crime is therefore unpunished. The
reward offered by the Board for information still stands.
First Recommendation
The situation of the Sanitarium in respect of room is exceedingly critical and speedy relief must be given it. A careful
survey of the present buildings which has just been made
shows that they can safely and comfortably accommodate but
3607 patients. This estimate is based on 1,000 cubic feet of
space allowed for each patient in ceiled rooms and dormitories
and 100 square feet of floor space in those unceiled. These
buildings contain to-day 4848 patients, or 1241 in excess of
their intended capacity. By departments the situation is as
follows:
White male
White female
Colored male

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

The congestion is worst in the colored female department, but exists in lesser degree in all. Patients can now
be accommodated only by putting two or more in small rooms
intended but for one and by crowding the dormitories. The
risk of physical injury to the patients among themselves is
thus very greatly aggravated, while bad hygienic and sanitary conditions are unavoidable. Lack of room to isolate all
patients having communicable diseases is responsible for the
mounting death rate reported from tuberculosis, while the
control of an outbreak of contagious sickness is for this reason made all but impossible. The added danger in case of fire is
a constant nightmare to those responsible for the safety of the
inmates. The steady growth in population adds to the gravity of this situation. The gain last year was 208 and for
ten years 1078 patients. None but recent or acute cases and
cases found to be dangerous are now admitted.
The impression prevails with the uninformed that more
room could be had by discharging many of the patients and
that they ought to be so discharged. The facts are that every
patient in the Sanitarium has been legally adjudged entitled
to admission and there are none whose discharge before recovery would not do violence to common humanity. It is the
duty of the Superintendent under the law to discharge any
found not to be insane or who are restored to mental health
and this duty is scrupulously, promptly and gladly observed.
It is very plain that unless more room is speedily had,
further admissions must of necessity be limited to vacancies
had through discharge and death. The Board would point
out that the effect of such an order will be pitiful in the
extreme. No one will deny to these stricken, dependent and
helpless beings a first claim on the generosity of the State.
Two ways of supplying additional room are possible
and both are here presented.
1. The first assumes that the Sanitarium is to continue
to receive both races, as now. In this event it will be necessary to supply it with four new buildings for patients, one
for each sex of each race. They must be sufficiently large
to take care of the present overpopulation and still have some
room left for the future. Their cost, if of brick and wood construction, is estimated at $175,000 each, or $700,000 for the
four. If of fireproof construction, as they should be by all
means, 15% or $105,000 must be added to this estimate.
Warning is given that these buildings, together with a hospi-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

11

tal building recommended elsewhere, are had and occupied,
the Sanitarium will have reached the maximum population
it can safely be allowed to attain. It is now one of the largest hospitals for the insane in the United States and its successful management becomes an increasingly difficult matter. The time is at hand when the State must plan for the
founding of a second hospital.
2. The alternative is to found such second hospital at
once to care for the negro race, to which shall be transferred
the 1665 patients of this race now in the Sanitarium. When
this is done the buildings once occupied by them can be renovated and made ready for white patients. If this plan be
adopted, and there are sound reasons to commend it, the
necessity for the four new buildings for patients will be
removed. With the renovation of the negro buildings must
come a general renovation of all the other buildings housing
patients, all of which are old and greatly in need of major
repairs, for which the funds at the disposal of the Board have
never been adequate. New floors, walls and ceilings, new
paint, new plumbing, etc., are items of cost which will be
incurred and which are difficult to estimate with accuracy.
The Board would suggest that $1,000,000.00 as the minimum initial appropriation to be made for the founding of
this second hospital, to be made available in one or two
years, it being assumed that use can be made of lands already
owned by the State.
For defraying the cost of renovating the negro buildings
and for putting all the buildings in first-class repair, a work
never before attempted, the Board estimates $200,000 will be
required.
Second Recommendation
An ample supply of pure drinking water is vital and
means to this end must be carefully safeguarded. The present water plant is twenty years old and is at the maximum
of its present capacity. Its age and increasing demand on
it makes an enlargement imperative as a measure of safety.
Two additional settling basins, one additional filter and a second electric pump are required. A steel stand pipe of 150,000
gallons capacity on the Sanitarium grounds to replace the old
now to be razed is also required. It is necessary to duplicate the single 12-inch main through which the Sanitarium
is reached and which is about four miles in length. This sin-

12

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

gle main is now under heavy constant pressure to keep the
Sanitarium supplied and a fracture is thus made possible
at any time and without warning. It passes through an intervening creek which at flood widen out two and three miles.
If a fracture should occur at such a time and place a repair
would be impossible and the Sanitarium would quickly become helpless. A second main is therefore a most important
protection and will serve to reduce the pumping cost because
of the following reduction in friction. The cost of these additions, including housing and all minor parts, will be as follows:
Basins and Filter
Duplicate electric pump
Duplicate water main
Stand pipe complete
Total

$22,800.00'
2,650.00'
39,200.00
15,000.00
$79,650.00

Third Recommendation

The work of the medical department continues to be of
high order and should be given strong support. Its record is
the more remarkable when the heavy handicaps under which
it labors are remembered. Its greatest need is for a commodious general hospital in which to gather all cases offering hope, under proper treatment, of cure, and the physically
ill. At present both these classes are found in the several
reception, and hospital wards throughout the institution.
Many advantages are to be had from grouping them under
one roof, apart from its convenience. Among the most important is that it will separate the curable cases of insanity
from the incurables. The association which is now unavoidable serves to intensify an already abnormal mental depression and greatly retards, if it does not render impossible, successful treatment. It will enable better care of the physically
ill. It is proposed to place this hospital in attractive surroundings and to make it within and without as cheerful as
possible. When fully equipped with whatever may be needed
for its dual purpose it will be of substantial help to the medical department. It must be large enough for both races and
its cost cannot be less than $250,000. To make it fireproof
this estimate must be increased 15%, or $37,500.00. Against
this cost should be set its possible contribution to the sum
of human happiness had through every patient restored to
mental health. Every patient so restored ceases to be a bur-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

13

den and becomes a helpful unit of society. Every unrestored
patient remains a charge upon the State for life. The investment is therefore economically sound.
Fourth Recommendation
The present amusement hall is no longer large enough
for its purpose. It was built many years ago when the population was very much smaller than now. In it the usual religious services are held, moving pictures exhibited, dances
had, etc. It is a valuable help to the medical department
through the pleasure and diversion afforded therein to the
convalescent patients and it should be sufficiently large for
their gatherings. It is an investment in happiness from
which good returns may be expected and its cost is estimated
at $50,000. The abandonment of the old one will occasion no
loss since it is so situated as to be readily converted into
rooms or dormitories for the patients.
Fifth Recommendation
The Sanitarium buildings are of brick and wood with tin
roofs and fire risk is ever present. Inside enclosed stairways
of wood conveniently placed are relied on for the protection
of the inmates against fire. The system is not perfect, but
has thus far served. Outside ladder escapes would be as
dangerous to the inmates as fire, while the value of tube
escapes for insane persons is at least problematical. In lieu
of these for which many recommendations have been made in
the past, the Board recommends as an alternative the installation in all the main buildings housing patients and in the store
room, of a system of automatic fire sprinklers.
The cost of such installations, including a required stand
pipe of 100,000 gallons capacity to serve for this purpose
alone, is estimated at $230,000. These installations will not
only provide far greater security for the inmates, but will
result in a greatly lowered insurance rate on these particular buildings.
Sixth Recommendation
In the eighty-three years of its existence the Sanitarium
has never had a residence for its Superintendent, and this
want should be supplied. The pressing need for more office
room, for which his present quarters are admirably adapted,
makes the present an opportune time. A very appropriate
site on the grounds is reserved for it. He is the host of the

14

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

institution and his residence should be ample in size for the
hospitality he must dispense. By the erection of such residence and by the conversion of his present quarters into
offices, it will no doubt be possible to provide much needed
room in the storehouse through the removal of the Steward's
office now located in it and thus obviate the necessity for the
appropriation recommended herein for this purpose. A suitable residence can be built at a cost estimated at $25,000.
Seventh Recommendation
It is now become necessary to add a second floor to the
storehouse in order to accommodate the growing quantity of
supplies needed to be carried in stock, the cost of which
is estimated at $10,000.
Eighth Recommendation
The medical department asks for a commodious onestory building in which can be housed the vocational therapy
activities of the white female patients which because of
weather conditions must be had indoors. At present use is
had of some of the day rooms for this purpose, thus diverting them from the use for which they are intended. They do
not give room for enlargement, hence the request for a
suitable building. Such good results have followed the introduction of this form of treatment that its wider use is highly
desirable. The cost of such building as is wanted will be
$9,000.
Summary of Special Appropriations
The special appropriations sought herein are summarized as follows:
For four buildings for patients made fireproof-_$ 805,000.00
For hospital building made fireproof
287,500.00
For additions to water works, including duplicate main, stand pipe, etc.
79,650.00
For amusement hall
50,000.00
For vocational therapy building
9,000.00
For Superintendent's residence
25,000.00
For enlargement of storehouse
10,000.00
For automatic fire sprinklers
230,000.00
Total

$1,496,150.00

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

If a second hospital for negroes is founded the first item
in this summary should be omitted, and for it should be substituted $200,000 for the complete renovation of all the buildings.
In Conclusion
The Board is grateful to Your Excellency for the support given it in the discharge of its duties. It is not unmindful of the growing weight of such duties, but none the less
it has been a joy and privilege to assume them. The Superintendent has not lacked sympathetic and helpful support in
his work for the happiness and well being of the inmates, nor
have the interests of the State been allowed to suffer. If its
acts shall have your approval it will be sufficiently rewarded.
By order of the Board of Trustees.

MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1927.

The Hon. Board of Trustees,
Georgia State Sanitarium,
Milledgeville, Ga.

A study of the above statistics show that the total first
admissions were the same as previous year, with a decrease
of 44 in number of males and increase of 44 in the number
of females.
The total readmissions were increased 5 compared to the
previous year, with a decrease of 19 males and an increase
of 24 females.
Notwithstanding our constant effort to limit admissions
to urgent type of applicants on account of the already greatly
over-crowded condition of the Institution, there were 1,180
total admissions, or an increase of 5 compared to the previous
year.
There were a total of 572 discharged during the year;
that is, patients who were furloughed and remained out over
12 months, the furlough period fixed by law, except 4 males
and 9 females who did not manifest any symptoms of mental
disorder, and were discharged as without psychosis (not insane).
The policy we adopted some years ago of furloughing all
cases except the not insane, is a good one, as our experience
has taught us that some patients, while clinically restored
and have apparent normal behavior for quite a period while
living the routine of institutional life, soon have a recurrence
of their abnormal mental symptoms soon after they return to
their old environment. If they are on furlough they may be
returned to the Sanitarium without the ordeal and expense
of a new commitment.

18

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

The advancement in psychiatric knowledge indicates
that this problem, of recurrence as well as the cause of the
original onset of mental disorder, is a very complex affair,
involving more than the aged formulation of "Sound mind
in a sound body." In the solution of the problem we find
that it involves not merely a section of one's life, but all the
forces which operate to make that life what it is.
Based on the number of admissions, the discharges during the year were 38.6% as recovered or improved compared
to 35.5% the previous year. The daily average under treatment was 191 greater, and there were 36 more deaths than
the previous year.
Overcrowding continues our most pressing problem, and
one of our greatest handicaps to treatment. We had a daily
average overcrowding of 1,185. "We began the year with an
actual resident population of 4,640, and closed with 4,848, a
net increase of 208, or 1,241 overcrowded. Notwithstanding
the overcrowded handicap we furloughed 819 patients during
the year, and of this number 613 were restored or improved.
Based on the total admissions this is 51.9% compared to 56%
the previous year.
It might be of interest to note that the females show a
greater growth than males in resident patient population. The
year's 208 increase in population were as follows: White
males, 17; white females, 98; colored males, 24, and colored
females, 69.
Allowing one patient to a room—to each patient in
ceiled dormitories 1,000 cubic feet of space, and in unceiled
dormitories in the open unceiled wooden structures 100
square feet each, the institution has a normal capacity of
3,607 patients.
The following tabulation gives normal capacity of patients and overcrowding in each department:

We have been estimating our normal capacity at 3,900
based on old estimate made several years ago, but during
the year a new estimate of the different buildings and wards
was made with allowance given above, and we find that our
actual normal capacity is nearly 300 patients less.
The above figures show that at the end of the year the
Sanitarium is 1,241 patients overcrowded as follows:

White Male Department,

Therefore, it is clearly seen that the present capacity of
the institution is greatly overtaxed, and its overcrowded condition is unhygienic, hazardous, and a great handicap to
treatment, and especially is this true in the Colored Female,
Colored Male and White Female Departments.
If some relief for this condition of affairs is not soon
obtained, such overcrowding is likely to result in a great
increase in the incidence of tuberculosis among the patient
population, as well as other calamities.
Medical Service
During the year Drs. Wm. F. Dobyns, A. H. Fowler, C.
B. Kennedy and J. T. Stephenson were appointed internes.
Drs. Dobyns and Fowler had just completed interneship at
University Hospital at Augusta, Ga. Dr. Stephenson came
to us from U. S. Veterans Hospital, Augusta. Also Dr. J. W.
Mobley, who was formerly First Assistant Physician and
resigned a few years ago on account of ill health, having regained his health, was elected Assistant Physician.
Drs. Joseph Goldberger and G. A. Wheeler of the U. S.
Public Health Service continued throughout the year their
research study of pellagra.
The Psychiatric Clinics at Macon and Elberton were
kept up during the year. A member of the Staff went to
Macon weekly to conduct the former, and another member
to Elberton monthly, except during the summer vacation
period of the Elberton School.

20

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

During the Summer there developed 23 cases of smallpox among the colored female population, but prompt isolation and vaccination prevented its spread and further development. No other epidemic of illness of any consequence
occurred during the year.
Occupation Therapy has proven of value as an aid in
the treatment of mental disease, and we continued this feature
of treatment throughout the year, and I think we are gradually making some progress. Individual attention to a population as large as the Sanitarium's is a tremendous problem,
and the limited means at our disposal rather limits the scope
of activity in this department. Some increased interest and
attention were given to habit training in chronic cases.
Also during the year we begun the construction of an
additional wood work shop at white male occupation park.
This building is being constructed and equipped with funds
earned in this department. In this connection I will state
that under the direction of Supervisor Roberts of the "White
Male Department over 21,000' pounds of tomatoes were grown
and gathered by patients from about IV2 acres of land.
A general review of the year's medical work with statistical tables will be found in report of Clinical Director.
Dental Department
Two full time dentists are employed to render dental
service for the institution. Each has a well equipped office—
one in the female department doing dental work for the
female population, and one in the male department rendering
dental service for the male population. The amount and
character of work done by them during the year is given
in their report.
Training School for Nurses
Our Training School for Nurses has been in active operation during the past 15 years, and during this period have
graduated 129 nurses, many of them now holding responsible
positions in various parts of the country. During the past
year we received a certificate from the American Psychiatric
Association certifying that our Training School had complied
with the standards established by the Association for school
of nursing in mental hospitals, and had been placed on the
accredited list. This is quite a compliment.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

21

During the past year the school was kept at its previous
standard, and we regard its usefulness to the institution as
indispensable.
Engineering Department
The report of the Engineer gives a detailed account of
the improvements and repairs during the year.
The new ice plant and cold storage was built and the
old cold storage rooms rebuilt, and new coils built in them.
Before we can say that this plant is completed we hope to
build a tile lined milk and butter room, and to install an
equipment for pastuerizing all milk before issuing.
During the year representatives of the Underwriters
Association made a survey of the institution with reference to
fire hazards and our fire fighting equipment. Their recommendations were adopted with some exceptions and are being
carried out. Our maintenance fund is not adequate to install
the equipment and put into effect all the items they recommended. However, a thousand gallon a minute LaFrance automobile pumper was bought at a cost of $13,000.00 to supplement our steam pump, and this equipment with additional
new hose, etc., gives us the feeling that we are better prepared to fight fire in case of need.
The completion of three officers' cottages from timber
sawed on Sanitarium grounds were items badly needed. They
are the best and most comfortable cottages ever constructed
on the Sanitarium premises Also hope to have the detached
white male infirm ward completed to accommodate about 60
patients within a few days.
Notwithstanding the employment of several extra day
carpenters and other laborers in this department throughout
the year, many needed repairs on many of the buildings had
to remain for future attention. Most of our buildings are
old, and the repair upkeep is necessarily great.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives an account of receipts and
disbursements of monies made during the year. The per
capita cost for the year was $234.16 compared to $229.14 the
previous year. Daily cost was 64.15 cents compared to 62.77
cents the previous year.

22

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

Total expenditure for maintenance, including every item
of cost connected with hospitalization of patients, $1,119,759.62 compared with $1,052,016.12 the previous year.
A comparative statement of the cash expenditures for
the year and that of the previous year will be found in Exhibit Nos. 7-8 of the Steward's report.
The building of three officers' cottages and a frame building for white male infirm ward to accommodate about 60 patients, the purchase of automobile fire pump, and 322.63
acres of land added several thousand dollars to our total
operating expenses, and while these items are rather capital
investments, they were badly needed, and adds materially to
the Sanitarium equipment.
Farm Steward's Department
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of vegetables and other foodstuffs produced in this department during the year.
The farm and garden productions were increased compared to 'the previous year. The farm at the Colony was the
most successful we have had there. The 150 to 160 colored
male patients kept there are as a rule healthy, and seem to
enjoy the outdoor work.
Fifteen thousand, four hundred and two bushels of corn
was produced compared to 9,776 bushels the previous year.
We should be able to grind nearly enough meal to supply us
the coming year. We also had a good oats and vetch crop.
Threshed out 1,556 bushels of oats, and made 437 tons of
oat and vetch hay. Also gathered 4,423 bushels of field peas.
Killed 70,678 pounds pork compared to 42,366 pounds the
previous year.
The dairy productions also were increased—99,784 gallons milk compared to 80,688 gallons the previous year.
Additional Needed Equipment
1. To provide for 1,241 patients now in the Sanitarium
overcrowding its normal capacity, and to provide room for
future growth at a rate of at least 200 annually, and to increase the efficiency of the medical service by furnishing better
environment and equipment for the unfortunate charges com-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

mitted to our care, a group of five buildings is now badly
needed, viz: one hospital building and four other general
ward buildings. Estimated cost to build and furnish, $950,000.
Georgia's mental disease problem has greatly outgrown
the present capacity- of the Sanitarium, and looking to the
future I think it would be wise to begin immediately the
construction of another state hospital in some other section
of the State, as the above additions would soon prove inadequate at the present rate of growth.
2.

A central heating and power plant.

We now have seven separate boiler rooms, and it requires
seven firemen to keep them going, and an additional seven
at night in very cold weather. Our light and electric power
cost us $16,973.32 for the past year as furnished by the Milledgeville Electric Lighting Co. The present service rendered
by this Company is rather unsatisfactory due to so many interferences with current since they have begun to transmit it
from distant points. If we owned our own power plant in
connection with a central heating station it would be more
satisfactory and more economical than our present equipment.
Estimated cost, $300,000.00.
3. The present amusement hall built more than 40 years
ago has been greatly outgrown by the Sanitarium, and a larger
amusement hall is badly needed to accommodate a greater
number of patients who may be able to attend the various
types of amusement provided there from time to time. This
building should be of fire resistant construction at an estimated cost of $50,000.00.
4. The present capacity of the storehouse is too small to
provide storage for supplies for the increased growth of the
institution. I therefore recommend that an additional story
be added to the storehouse, and a modern electric elevator installed. Estimated cost, $10,000.00.
5. The principal buildings occupied by patients are old
and are three stories high. They are not of fire resistant
construction, and as a safeguard to the unfortunates locked
therein should be provided with fire escapes. Estimated cost
to provide a sufficient number of the approved type, $25,000.00.

24

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

6. The daily consumption of water by the institution
is now nearly equal to the daily capacity of the plant. Basin
sedimentation capacity as well as filtration capacity should
be increased. The Sanitarium water supply plant has been
in operation about 20 years, and the population has increased
from 3,018 to 4,848; also a duplicate water main from pumping station to Sanitarium should be provided. The single
main now in use has been in continuous service for 20 years,
and some of the piping of the main is more than 30 years
old, as it was transferred from old water supply when this
main was constructed 20 years ago; therefore, it may likely
break at any time under continuous pressure and service.
Estimated cost for enlarging plant, $20,000.00, and material
for main, $44,000,000. Total, $64,000.00.
7. The present 40,000 gallon water tank on tower at
Sanitarium is beginning to leak. It was built in 1876—more
than 50 years of continuous service. The capacity of this is
too small, and should be replaced with a higher tower and
tank of 150,000 gallon capacity. Estimated cost of tank,
tower and pumping equipment, $14,000.00.
New Legislative Matters
I respectfully call your attention to the following legislative matters that I think important for the welfare of the
Sanitarium.
1. Section 3, pages 163-4, Acts of 1918, should be revised so as to define more clearly its meaning, and eliminating
its pay feature. It should more clearly define the type of
eases that should be committed and admitted to the Sanitarium.
2. The law requiring physicians to stand a competitive
examination for election to medical staff should be repealed,
as this law was enacted years before the State Board of
Medical Examiners was created.
3. A law should be enacted empowering the Superintendent of the Sanitarium to deputize as many police officers as may be required to prevent trespassing, keep peace
and order on the Sanitarium premises.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

25

Religious Services
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon by
the regular Chaplain. The same policy obtains as in former
year of rotating this service to the different Protestant pastors of the Milledgeville churches. During the past year the
pastor of the Presbyterian Church was Chaplain, and he
also conducted the funerals of unclaimed remains of white
patients who were interred in the Sanitarium cemetery.
The Catholic priest of Milledgeville also looked after the
religious requirements of the members of the Catholic Church.
Services and burials in the colored department were conducted by our Chaplain in that department.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I wish to express my feeling of gratitude
to the members of the Board of Trustees for their wise counsel, constant interest and co-operation for the welfare of the
institution. I also wish to express my appreciation of the cooperation and faithful services rendered by the Medical Staff,
other officers and employes who share greatly the credit for
the success of carrying on the work throughout the year.
I also wish to thank the Womens' Clubs, Knights of Columbus, and others who were so thoughtful with gifts to patients during Xmas season.
Respectfully submitted,

SWINT,

Superintendent.
DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report, of the Medical
Department for the year 1926:
Eleven hundred and eighty (1,180) patients were admitted during the year. Of these 954 were first admissions and
226 were re-admissions. Of the latter 43 were first admitted
to other institutions either public or private.
In the case of twelve (12) patients a diagnosis of not
insane was made. Four (4) of these gave a history of alcoholism, two (2) were mentally deficient, five (5) were drug
addicts and one (1) had committed homicide. It must be borne
in mind that in some instances it is almost impossible to obtain information about patients, but this source of error has
been eliminated as far as possible.
Eight hundred and nineteen (819) patients went out on
furlough. Of this number 613 had been either restored or
had improved. This gives a recovery rate of 51.1 per cent,
as against 57 per cent, for the year 1925. The patients received in 1926 were of about the same general character as
those received in 1925.
There were 432 deaths during the year, which gives a
death rate of 7.4% as against 7% for the previous year. Arteriosclerosis with complications (hemorrhage) was the leading cause. Tuberculosis, general paralysis and broncho pneumonia were the other leading causes in the order named. One
hundred and sixty-six (166) patients died within six months
after admission and of these fifty-five (55) died within one
month after admission. This serves to show the physical condition of many of the patients at the time of admission. One
patient admitted had malaria and died from this cause two
days after he came. The actual number of deaths from tuberculosis was 40% higher than it was in 1925. The increase

in actual number of deaths consisted of four in the white department and twenty-two in the colored.
The wards are becoming more and more overcrowded.
This is unhygienic, dangerous and interferes with treatment.
The overcrowding for each department is as follows: White
male, 187o (this will be less when the new frame building
is occupied) ; white female, 32% ; colored male, 37% ; colored
female, 70%. In the later department single rooms to the
number of 100 are occupied by two patients. Such rooms are
scarcely large enough for one. It seems rather remarkable
that more patients are not injured by other patients under
the circumstances. The death rate from tuberculosis is mounting, as is to be expected. This is especially true in the colored department, where the over-crowding is most marked.
We have 1,200 patients above our capacity.
Somewhat more attention has been paid to habit training
and the results have been quite satisfactory. As a result there
has been increased tidiness among the patients and the work
is of considerable economic importance. The efforts in this
line have been carried on almost altogether among the cases
of demeitia praecox of long standing. We have good reasons
to continue and increase the work along these lines.
In the latter part of the year some preliminary efforts
were made in treating paresis by the administration of foreign proteids. The results up to this time have been unsatisfactory. Typhoid vaccine has been used, being given intravenously, doses varying from 50 million up to 16 billion
have been given, but the reactions have been quite variable
and we have not yet determined any uniformity of dosage.
Fleischman Company furnished 200 pounds of yeast,
which was used during the year in treating pellagra. A more
detailed report of the results of its use is expected to be
made at another time and place. The results have tended
to confirm the observation made last year as to its value.
Drs. Goldberger and Wheeler have continued their work
with pellagra and have lent their assistance whenever requested.
Attention is called to the report of the pathologist. The
mere fact that 8,455 examinations were made in the laboratory does not convey an accurate idea of the time and work
required. The collection of specimens alone is time consuming, since the wards are so widely separated. It will be seen

28

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

also that there has been great variety in the character of the
work. It will be seen from the report that the Wassermann
test was positive in 10.9 per cent, of the newly admitted cases,
as against 13.8 per cent, for the ten-year period. The incidence of positive spinal fluids for the year was 7.1 per cent.,
as against 6.3 per cent, for the ten-year period. Co-operation
of the pathologist and his assistants has been ideal and the
aid given by them in the general medical work of the institution has been invaluable.
The weekly clinic held in Macon is now in its eighth
year. During the year of 1926, 130 new patients visited this
clinic. The number of visits totaled 430. This includes 30
visits made to patients who were not able to reach headquarters. The City of Macon furnishes a part time nurse who is
of much assistance. This nurse made 54 visits to patients
in their homes. Very satisfactory quarters are now furnished
at the City Hospital and the amount and character of the
work done has more than fulfilled our expectations. Children
make up a considerable proportion of the patients seen. It
might be added that the knowledge of the clinic has gradually
spread—largely through patients—and many come from the
surrounding towns and counties.
Clinics for school children have continued to be held at
Elberton with satisfactory results. There is one other feature
of this work that has been stressed before and that is, it gives
the physician an opportunity to see mental diseases in the
making, so to speak.
The training school for nurses has continued to function
as in former years and has fulfilled its place of usefulness in
the institution.
I wish to thank you and the Board for the generous additions to the medical equipment and for the encouragement
given.
I am glad to acknowledge an indebtedness to the medical
service as a whole for the efforts made to improved the condition of patients.
Respectfully,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

Note—The term "Positive" denotes the occurrence of a
positive Wassermann reaction upon the cerebrospinal fluid,
and usually also other serological indications of neurosyphillis
as well.
Reference to Tables I and II will show that 33.3 per cent,
of the white women, 77.8 per cent, of the white men, 31.1 per
cent, of the colored women, and 65.9 per cent, of the colored
men, whose blood reacted positively to the Wassermann test
upon admission also gave serological evidence of sypillis of
the nervous system.
From an analysis of our serological findings for the 10year period, 1916-1925, certain outstanding facts appear which
would seem to be of sufficient general interest to warrant
their publication. During this period there were made 10,881
routine Wassermann tests upon the blood serums of newlyadmitted patients. Of this number, 1,506, or 13.8 per cent,
gave 4-plus reactions, and serological evidence of syphilis of
the nervous system occured in 695, or 6.3 per cent. Exclusive
of the neurosyphilitic group, positive Wassermann reactions
were obtained in 8 per cent, of patients. This does not imply
that syphilis is an important factor in the genesis of psychoses
other than frankly neurosyphilitic ones. The fact that there
is a somewhat constant percentage of syphilis in all of the
various non-syphilitic psychoses suggests that this proportion
of syphilis is incidental rather than causative. Perhaps it
may reflect to some extent the prevalence of syphilis
in the adult general population of the state. Tf we
assume that 3 per cent, of all syphilitics develop neurosyphilis,
and that no neurosyphilitics fail to arrive eventually at the
Sanitarium, then there must be at least 2,500 new cases of
syphilis in Georgia annually, since there are admitted here
yearly 75 paretics and cerebral syphilitics. The incidence
of positive blood and cerebrospinal fluid Wassermann reactions in each of the various clinical groups is shown in the
following table.

♦Positive cerebrospinal fluid Wassermann reactions are
here recorded only for the general paralysis and cerebral
syphilis groups. Occasionally positive results were obtained
in other groups, but were so infrequently encountered that it
is considered more accurate to omit entirely figures for these
occasional findings.
In the series recorded above, 4-plus cerebrospinal fluid
Wassermanns were found in 73 instances where the corresponding blood finding was negative, as follows: Paresis, 52;
Cerebral syphilis, 12; Tabes dorsalis, 1; Other groups, 8.
The diagnoses with which the serological findings reported in the foregoing tabulation are correlated are those
recorded with the histories in the Clinical Director's office.
Respectfully,
E. B. SATE,

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM,
JANUARY 1ST,
DR.

R. C.

1927.

SWINT,

Superintendent Georgia State Sanitarium.
DEAR SIR:

I wish to submit the following as a report of the Training
School for Nurses for the year ending December 31st, 1926.
The School has been in progress fifteen years, and has
graduated one hundred and twenty-nine nurses.
We feel the School is indispenable to the Hospital, and
that the graduates are well educated in all departments of
nursing, and have rendered to the world valuable service.
Many of our graduates are holding places of responsibility not only in this school, but in the different schools
throughout the United States.
The Alumnae Association of the School has a membership
of sixty-two, and has been very active during the year. It
has given the school and Superintendent of Nurses hearty
support in all efforts to make it the foremost among such
institutions.
The Annual Commencement was held July 21st, at 8 :30,
in the Amusement Hall.
Mrs. Archibald P. Brantley, President of the State Federated Clubs of Georgia, gave a most pleasing class address
to the graduates.
Mr. John T. Brantley, President of the Board of Trustees,
with a talk on service, delivered the diplomas, and Mr. H. H.
Dean, Vice-President of the Board, presented the hospital
pins.

Three cottages, each having seven rooms and a bath room,
have been built on the road between the Powell Building and
the Twin Buildings. These cottages are connected to the
sewer and are supplied with cold water connections to the
general supply.
A new ice plant has been built. This machine is housed
in a brick building. It is of the compression type and has a
capacity of twenty-five tons of ice each twenty-four. A good
portion of this capacity is used in the cooling of the cold
storage rooms. The cooling water used is sprayed through
a system of nozzles into a spray pond on the roof of the
building. The new plant includes an ice storage room, three
new cold storage rooms and a work room for the cutting and
issue of meats, etc. The total capacity of the new rooms,
together with the old, is nineteen thousand eight hundred
seventy-nine cubic feet. Two of the old cold storage rooms
have been thrown into one and the large room, together with
one of the meat rooms has been rebuilt and thoroughly insulated with cork-board. New coils for carrying the cooling
brime have been built for all of the rooms. These coils are
all built above bunkers which have drainage to the sewer.
This drainage of the bunkers prevents the possibility of any
drippage from the coils falling on the goods stored. A sus-

Eighty-Fourth Annual Report
OF THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

MlLLEDGEVlLLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1928.

To His Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor.
SIR:

The annual report required by law to be made by
the Board of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium
of the conduct and management of this institution is respectfully submitted herewith. It covers the year ended
December 31, 1927, and is the eighty-fourth report to be
so made. Its principal feature is the annual report to
the Board of the Superintendent and Resident Physician,
in which is included like reports to him from the heads
of departments, the whole setting out the work of the
year in substantial detail. For the excellent showing
made, due credit goes to this officer and his assistants.
With a clear vision of the Sanitarium as it might be, he
presses on with modest courage and calm judgment to
the conversion of his vision into terms of fact, in which
effort he has the loyal support of each member of the
medical and business staffs. This fine spirit is reflected
in the service rendered by nurses and attendants, as well
as 'by other employes.
In this forward movement
the Board assumes its full share, seeking by all means
in its power to make the Sanitarium a real sanctuary for
the insane. The State has just cause for pride in this great
hospital.
The year closed with a resident population of 4,936,
which is an increase of 83 over the preceding year. The
daily average of 4,931 shows a gain of 149 patients. Applications for admission reached a total of 1503 and of
these 1221 were admitted. Because of the congested
condition of the Sanitarium, admission was necessarily
denied to all cases deemed incurable and harmless, but
every effort was made to receive recent and acute cases
and cases certified as dangerous.

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Medical Department
The Board calls attention to the hopeful note found
in the report from the medical department which, under
the leadership of the Clinical Director, is slowly but
steadily growing in usefulness. Evidences of good team
work are abundant. Through personal instruction and
by means of informing bulletins issued monthly, faithful effort is made to give nurses and attendants a clear
conception of the nature of their work and its importance to the patients in their care. Through the intelligent and personal interest thus created, much good has
been accomplished, especially with excited and untidy
patients. A new beginning in behalf of epileptic patients
will be noted.. The rate of recovery shows an increase,
while the death rate has been lowered. The pathological
laboratory plays its useful part, as twelve thousand examinations in the year attests. The daily clinics indicate the thoroughness of the effort made to reach a correct
diagnosis and determine proper treatment for each of the
new admissions.
The training school for nurses reflects increasing
credit on the Superintendent of Nurses by whom it is
conducted and continues to amply justify its existance.
Apart from the marked betterment of the nursing service,
for which it takes credit, it attracts to the Sanitarium an
ample supply of higher grade applicants for training. No
investment in recent years is paying such large dividends
in bettered and happier service as is the nurses' home.
The Board hopes the time is not far distant when some
like provision can be made for the attendants.
The mental clinics conducted by members of the
medical staff at Macon and Elberton and the success
which has attended them point to a field of usefulness
which the Sanitarium should be permitted to fully develop. It should also be permitted to give its discharged
patients some after care, for which trained field agents
will be needed.
Business Department
The current cash resources of the Sanitarium at the
close of the year were $55,470.52 and its cash liabilities
$84,927.97, making an apparent cash deficit of $32,457.45.
A partial offset to this is had in the purchase by the

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Board of an improved automatic hook and ladder truck
with which to better safeguard the lives of the inmates,
and of 322.63 acres of additional pasturage land. The
cost of these two items was $16,436.16 and is properly
charged to equipment account. The total cash expenditures were $1,107,334.22, a decrease of $12,425.40 from
the expenditures in 1926. The per capita cost was
$224.57, a decrease of $9.59 from the cost last year. The
per diem per capita cost was but $0.6152. This is a
gratifying showing and evidences the good work of the
business department.
The farm gardens and dairy were so handled as to
make their usual substantial contribution to the support
of the Sanitarium. The dairy sustained a heavy loss in
the necessary disposal of a large number of its best milch
cows because of tubercular infection. Their replacement
will be undertaken only after a thorough disinfection has
been had and will be a matter of heavy expense.
Engineering Department
The upkeep of the great physical plant is the duty
of the Engineer's department and his report shows a
busy year.
The long and highly useful service rendered by this official is eloquent testimony to his worth.
The addition to the water works made possible by
special appropriation had by the last General Assembly
will be done with Sanitarium labor under his capable
supervision. The pipe for the duplicate water main has
been bought at an advantageous price and is now being
delivered. The completion of this important work will
safeguard the water supply for years to come.
New Buildings
The special appropriation of $500,000.00 had by
the last General Assembly will afford the Sanatarium
some measure of relief and its wise expenditure is now
receiving the careful study of the Board. Plans have
already been adopted for a domitory building for negro
patients and bids are being solicited for its construction.
It will be completed and occupied as quickly as possible.
This building together with the proposed enlargement
of the colony farm, will care for the present needs of this
department. The second building to be errected will

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

be used for a psychopathic and general hospital. Its
use will permit the gathering under one roof of recent
and acute cases for closer observation and better attention. The physically ill will also be housed in this building. Good results are confidently expected to follow this
long needed addition to the equipment of the Sanitarium.
In Conclusion
The Board makes grateful acknowledgement of the
generous treatment accorded the Sanitarium joy the
General Assembly and also of the continued courtesy of
the State Auditor. A like acknowledgement is made to
his Excellency for the strong and interested support
given it in the discharge of its responsible duties. If its
acts therein shall merit his approval, it will be sufficiently
rewarded. The helpful interest shown by the press in
the problems crowding upon it for solution is warmly
appreciated and now publicly acknowledged.
By order of the Board
JOHN

T. BRANTLEY,
President.

During the year we received 1,503 applications for ad(mission. Of this number, 1,353 were notified that we
would receive them and 150 were refused on account of
the greatly overcrowded condition of the institution. The
150 applications for admission that were refused, according to their application histories, were composed of
harmless seniles, bedridden invalids and feebleminded
persons who were incurable and it seemed might be successfully cared for outside of the Sanitarium with some
extra attention.
We hope, by the end of another year, to have completed at least one of the buildings we plan for relief of
the Sanitarium's overcrowded condition.
The total first admissions during the year were 967;
an increase of 13 over the previous year. There were
254 readmissions compared to 228 the previous year, or
an increase of 28. The total admissions during the year
were 1221; compared to 1180 the previous year, an increase of 31.
The term, first admissions, applies to those cases
that have never before been admitted to a hospital for
mental diseases for treatment. Therefore, the number
of cases in this group represents the new cases of mental
disease occurring within the State during the year with
the exception noted below.
Readmissions comprises the group of cases who
have previously received treatment in a mental hospital;
either state or private. Not all of this group have had
previous admissions to this institution.
32.1% of the total admissions during the year
were diagnostically grouped as manic depressive psychoses. Dementia praecox psychoses composed the next
largest grouping, viz:—17.4% of the total admissions
Psychoses with cerebral arteriosclerosis composed the
third largest grouping, or 9.6% of the total admissions.

12

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

It might be of interest to note that 32.4 Jo of the
total admissions were afflicted with organic or degenerative psychoses and were incurable. This does not include the group of cases diagnosed as dementia praecox
psychoses. It also should be of interest to note that of
the total admissions only 23 were diagnosed as alcoholic
psychoses and 9 as psychoses due to drugs, compared to 17
and 24 respectively for the previous year. It should be of
further interest to note that of 1,225 routine blood wassermann tests on new admissions, 117 or 9.5% were positive;
according to race and sex as follows:—White females
2.8%, white males 6.3%, colored females 16.9% and colored males 18.8%. A total average of 9.5%.
Also of the 117 positive blood wassermann reactions, 83 or 70.9% had positive wassermann reaction of
the spinal fluid and other serological indications of neurosyphilis. Of the 83 neurosyphilitic cases, 6 were white
females, 26 white males, 15 colored females and 36 colored males. A more detailed analysis of these findings
will be found in the report of the Pathologist.
1,100 of the 1,221 patients admitted during the year
were native Georgians; 113 were born in other States
of the United States, and only 8 were foreign born. Admissions were received from 156 Counties of the State.
217 of the admissions were farmers, 120 were laborers,
263 housekeepers, 20 cooks, 20 textile workers, 12 had
professions and 355 had no occupations according to admission histories. The occupations of the remainder
were varied and among the group were 13 students.
A total of 569 patients were discharged during the
year. Of this number, 164 were restored, 284 improved,
108 unimproved and 14 not insane. This group of cases,
except the not insane, had previously been furloughed
into the custody of their relatives and had remained out
of the Sanitarium over twelve months.
During the year, 974 patients were furloughed. Of
this group, 197 were restored, 571 improved and 206
unimproved; although we considered them harmless in
the custody of their relatives. On account of the greatly
overcrowded condition of the Sanitarium, we were rather
liberal in granting furloughs during the year to certain
chronic unimproved cases, in order to make room for

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

13

more urgent acute cases who were applying for admission, and this, in a measure, is responsible for the increase in the number of patients furloughed, but at the
same time, an analysis of the records show that 62.8%
of cases furloughed were restored or improved, compared to 51.9% for the similar group the previous year.
Therefore, we feel gratified that results indicate due
credit should be given the medical and nursing service
rendered; especially when the Sanitarium's greatly overcrowded condition is considered.
The following notation on psychiatric diagnostic

Just here it might be well to state that on account
of inadequate information concerning onset of mental
disorder and absence of definite and distinctive symptoms for grouping under one of the previous groups mentioned above, certain patients are left unclassified at
least temporarily until further observation and progress
of the case.
There were 434 deaths during the year; an increase
of 2 compared to the previous year, but the death rate
was 7.1% compared to 7.4% for the previous year, based
on the total number of patients under treatment.
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a general
review of the medical service for the year, also statistical tables containing data concerning diagnostic grouping of admissions; also ages, degree of education, environment, civil condition, etc., of first admissions. A statistical study of first admissions gives important information bearing on the social and economic problems concerning the genesis of mental diseases.
It might be of interest to note that the Sanitarium
has six reception wards for reception of all new admis-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

15

sions, viz;—two for white females, two for white males,
one for colored females and one for colored males. When
patients are first admitted to the institution, they are
received in one of these wards where they are kept under close observation and a physical and mental examination is made of them. When this examination is completely written and an abstract or summary of it made,
the patient is presented before the Medical Staff for review and discussion. This requires daily Staff meetings
except on Sundays. Also many cases are brought before
the Staff for discharge consideration.
During the year a group of epileptics were segregated for Ketogenic treatment by administration of a fat
diet. This treatment is being continued and results
noted, but we have not yet reached any conclusion as to
its merit; also we continued the research treatment of
general paralysis of the insane by the intravenous administration of typhoid vaccine. The results obtained
warrant a continued study of this method of treatment,
and our experience would indicate its merit equal to or
superior to the malarial treatment of this fatal disease.
No epidemic diseases of any consequence developed
among the patients during the year.
Dr. G. A. Wheeler of the United States Public Health
Service, under the direction of Dr. Joseph Goldberger of
Washington, D. C, continued their research study of pellagra. This study dealt largely with the prevention of
the disease through the use of certain food supplements
to the basic diet, and the application of this, as well as
previously acquired information, to the routine care and
treatment of active cases. It was shown that 1200 C. C.
per day of expressed juice of canned tomatoes used as a
supplement to routine diet will prevent a recurrence
among pellagrins. Also 150 grams (about 5 ounces) of
commercial wheat germ, when used as a supplement and
served as a cooked cereal, will successfully prevent recurrences. These workers have published their findings,
ana have recommended that tomatoes and whole wheat
flour be included in the dietary of those living in sections where pellagra seems endemic.
Some changes occurred in the Medical Staff during
the year. Internes, Drs. J. T. Stephenson and C. B. Kinney resigned to enter general practice and Drs. W. E.

16

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Brigman and J. D. Wiley were secured to fill their vacancies. Drs. W. F. Dobyns and A. H. Fowler were promoted from Internes to Junior Assistant Physicians and
Dr. W. A. Bostick was promoted from Junior Assistant
Physician to Assistant Physician. During the early part
of the year we secured the services of Miss Leona C.
Frederickson of the United States Marine Hospital, Baltimore, Md., as dietian and Mrs. G. L. Echols was elected an additional dietitian in October. Also, beginning
September 1st, the services of Miss Cecile Humphrey
was secured as psychiatric social worker.
The Training School for Nurses, under the direction of Mrs. Mae M. Jones, was kept at its usual standard of excellence and her report gives a review of its
activities, curriculum, etc.
The Sanitarium's extra mural activities were limited
to the Macon and Elberton psychiatric clinics, and a report of them is incorporated in the Clinical Director's
report. Plans have been made to allow a member of our
Staff make regular visits to the Boys Training School;
also we have under consideration the establishment of
Clinics at Columbus and Savannah, Ga.
The work of the Dental Department was done by
Drs. Geo. H. Green and J. C. Adcock as previously. All
new admissions had their mouths examined soon after
admission, and immediate steps taken to put them in a
hygenic condition. The report of these Dentists gives
a tabulation of the amount and character of work done
in this department.
Amusements aud Diversions
Realizing from past experience that Occupational
Therapy was a valuable aid in the treatment of mental
disease, we endeavored during the year to interest new
admissions as soon after admission as practicable by
sending them daily to Occupational Therapy classes. We
expanded this activity in white female department by fixing up one of the day porticos between the 18th and 22nd
wards, so that some of the more chronic type of cases
could be reached. Also wood work shop was completed
at white male occupation park and equipped with modern electrical machinery.

The weekly dances in the amusement hall seem to
be greatly enjoyed by the patients; also the moving picture shows.
We now have a fire-proof room for our moving picture machine, built of brick and cement on the outside
of the west wall of amusement hall.
The Sanitariujm Band gave concerts on the lawns
tri-weekly. During the summer barbecues were given
the various working groups and during the Christmas
season, Christmas trees were held and presents were
put on the trees for each patient of the groups represented, and delivered to them after an amusement program was completed with each tree.
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon
in the chapel by the Chaplain, Rev. H. D. Warnock, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Milledgeville, Ga., until November 1st, and from that date by Rev. J. F. Yarbrough,
pastor, First Methodist Church, Milledgeville, Ga. They
also conducted funerals of remains of white patients interred in the Sanitarium cemetery.
Improvements and Repairs
The report of the Engineer gives a detailed review
of the principal improvements and repairs made during
the year.
The purchase of an American Lafranc Aerial Ladder Truck during the latter part of the year gave us
quite an addition to our fire department.
A badly needed addition of three rooms to the laboratory is under construction and will soon be completed.
More than ten thousand square feet of new flooring
have been laid on the wards during the year, and considerably more repairs are needed that we hope to have
accomplished the coming year.
Reconditioning of buildings at dry dairy for stables
is well under way and plans for removal of work shop
from back yard of Powell Building have been made.
The completion of pasteurizing room adjoining the
cold storage plant and the installation of a three hundred gallon milk pasteurizer therein gave us a very useful equipment.

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Business Department
The report of the Steward gives a detailed account
of receipts and disbursements of monies during the year.
The total amount expended, including every item of cost
for maintenance and upkeep of the institution was
$1,107,334.22 compared to 1,119,759.62 the previous year.
The annualper capita cost was $224.57; daily per
capita cost .6153 cents compared to $234.16 and .6415
cents respectively. The above figures bespeak economy
in financial matters thoughout the year.
Farm Steward's Department
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of
vegetables and other products raised on the farm, garden, dairy and poultry yard during the year.
The Colony farm made a fine crop of corn and peas;
the largest harvest of corn ever made there. We were
taxed for storage space. We also had an abundant harvest of sweet potatoes. We had the misfortune; however, to lose many of our best dairy cows from tubercular
infection; also many hogs from swine plague and cholera,
although they had received preventive inoculations
against cholera by representative from State Veterinarian's office.
Notable Events During the Year
April 20th and 21st.
The Sanitarium was visited by Governor elect, Dr.
L. G. Hardman.
August 25th.
The Sanitarium was visited by the Georgia Weekly
Press Association and they were given a barbecue
at the white male occupation park.
October 19th and 20th.
The Sanitarium was visited by His Excellency Governor L. G. Hardman and Mrs. Hardman.

Report of Medical Department

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report of the Medical Department for the year 1927.
Twelve hundred and twenty-one (1221) patients
were received. Of these nine hundred and sixty-five
(965) were first admissions and two hundred and fiftysix (256) were readmissions. Of the latter sixty-seven
(67) were first admitted to private hospitals or other
state institutions.
In eleven (11) instances a diagnosis of not insane
was made. Two of these were placed in psychopathic
group, one was mentally deficient, one was an alcoholic,
one a drug habitue, one epileptic and three were criminals. The remaining two could not be classified as insane for lack of symptoms.
In the case of ten patients, criminal acts appeared to
have been the immediate cause of commitment. Three
of these were found to be not insane, two were classified
as manic depressive, one as psychosis with epilepsy and
four were left unclassified. Of the last group one patient,
charged with homicide, was in the last stage of tuberculosis when received and died seven days after admission,
one was feeble minded and the remaining two belonged
to the psychopathic group.
The criminal charges were as follows:
Stealing
Forgery
Homicide
Felony, not specified

Nine hundred and eighty-eight (988) patients left
the institution on furlough. (This does not include a
number of patients who had their furloughs renewed or
who were returned a short while after escaping.) Of
these furloughs seven hundred and sixty-eight (768) had
been restored or had improved. This gave a recovery
rate of 62.8% as against 51.1% for 1926 and 57% for
1925.
There were four hundred and thirty-four (434)
deaths during the year. The death rate was 6.8% as
against 7.4% for 1926 and 7.% for 1925. Arteriosclerosis or cerebral hemorrhage was the assigned cause of
death in one hundred and nine (109) instances. This
constituted 25% of the deaths. As a cause of death paresis was second with fifty-nine (59) and tuberculosis third
with fifty-eight (58). Five patients committed suicide,
all by strangulation. This is unusual. Three patients
who were extremely sick with typhoid at time of admission died of that disease. One patient died of hook worm
disease twenty-two (22) days after admission. One
hundred and fifty-three (153) patients died within six
months after they were admitted. Fifty-four (54) of
these died within one month of the date of admission.
All patients, with the exception of the sick and feeble
were vaccinated against typhoid fever.
During the year forty-three (43) patients suffering
from paresis were treated by the use of foreign protein
(typhoid vaccine). In addition, the treatment was begun but not completed in six other cases. It is not yet
possible to determine the value of this form of treatment
as insufficient time has elapsed. These were not selected
cases except for the fact that in two or three instances the
patients were so feeble that it was not thought wise to
subject them to treatment. It seems probable that much
better results will be had with white than with colored
patients. Very satisfactory results were obtained in fifteen cases treated in 1926 by the same method. It has
been remarked before that paresis among the colored
males is either much more rapidly fatal than it is among
white males or else the disease in the colored patients is
much further advanced when they are received.
In the latter nine months of the year some epileptics
were treated by dietary means but no results of consequence have been noted up to this time.

22

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Personal contact with patients has been emphasized
as a means of treatment and no doubt this has played a
part in such success as has come to the Medical Service.
The influence of special attention to excited and untidy
patients has been as evident as in former years.
Details of; the work done in the laboratory will be
found in the report of the pathologist. The fact that
more than twelve thousand (12,000) examinations were
made in the laboratory indicates the amount of work
done in that department. The laboratory is an indispensable part of the Medical Service.
The training school for nurses has, as in former
years, continued to fulfill its place of usefulness in the
institution. Its graduates are filling many positions of
responsibility with credit to themselves and to the institution.
The Macon Clinic was held each Friday afternoon
with exception of one afternoon when offices were closed
on account of legal holiday. A total of one hundred and
sixty-three (163) patients paid five hundred and four
(504) calls at the headquarters. Telephone calls to the
number of one hundred and fifty-seven (157) were received from or concerning patients. The popularity of
this work has gradually gained since its inception eight
years ago.
The monthly school clinic held at Elberton has also
been productive of good and has attracted some attention. A total of one hundred and eighty-nine (189) visits
were paid to this clinic. In addition to this the attending physician received a number of calls in the vicinity
in regard to frank psychoses in adults. These two extramural clinics bring us into contact with only a very
small portion of the states population but serve as indicators of what might be accomplished.
Miss Cecile Humphrey, B. S. (Health) began work
September first as Social Worker. Up to the present
her time has been spent on the wards where she is acauirinc n first hand knowledge of abnormal psychology
and etiology of mental diseases. She has also been active in directing plays, games and other forms of intertainment. Miss Humphrey is well qualified for her
work by reason of native ability and disposition and by

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

reasons of studies in physical education, educational psychology and mental hygiene, social policy in education,
mental tests and measures and vocational guidance. We
are in much need of work in these lines.
Some needed improvements in the Medical Department have been recommended from time to time in
monthly reports and are a matter of record.
Due acknowledgement is here made to all who have
assisted in the Medical work.
The customary tabulations follow.
Respectfully submitted,
N. P. WALKER,
Clinical Director.

EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Superintendent of Nurses
JANUARY
DR.

1, 1928.

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

DEAR SIR:

I have the honor of submitting the sixteenth annual
report of the Georgia State Sanitarium Training School
for Nurses for the year beginning January 1, 1927, and
ending December 31, 1927.
The school has been in progress seventeen years and
has graduated one hundred and forty-one nurses.
The records of the school show that forty per cent,
of the students enrolled withdraw before completing the
full three year course. Various reasons are given for
leaving, but matrimony ranks first.
The raising of the educational requirements to full
high school graduates, has increased, rather than decreased, the number of applications.
The Alumnae Association has a membership of
eighty-eight and continues to be of great benefit to the
school and Superintendent of Nurses.
A Young Woman's Christian Association was organized April 4, 1927 with twenty-three members. Vesper service is held every Sunday evening in the lounge
of Brantley Hall. Miss Myrtle Lomax, class of 1927 is
president, and has increased the membership to fifty.
The Annual Commencement was held May 18, 1927
at eight o'clock in Amusement Hall, twelve nurses receiving diplomas.
Dr. M. A. Clark, a prominent physician of Macon,
gave a very pleasing address to the graduates.
The diplomas were delivered by Mr. John T. Brantley, president of the Board of Trustees, and the hospital
pins by Dr. T. M. Hall, chairman of the Medical Committee.

Eighty-Fifth Annual Report
OP THE

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1929.

To His Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor.
SIR:

The eighty-fifth annual report made mandatory by
law of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium, covering the conduct and management of this institution for the year 1928, is respectfully submitted
herewith, together with such recommendations therein
as are pertinent and necessary to be made.
Superintendent's Report
The attached annual report of the Superintendent
and Resident Physician, supported by similar reports of
department heads, presents in comprehensive detail the
work of the year. The results shown are such as to
merit for this responsibile officer, and for those serving
under him the high praise of the Board.
Encouraging Note
The Sanitarium is charged with the care of the
State's insane who may be broadly divided into two classes, the acute or curable, and the chonic or incurable. It
is, therefore, both hospital and asylum, and the Board
notes with deep satisfaction its slowly growing efficiency
in both these purposes. The recovery rate for the year
shows a small increase. The chronic insane offers the
medical profession what is doubtless its most discouraging field of endeavor, and yet some progress is made
here. A recent bulletin issued by the medical department for circulation among officers and employees
states that since the introduction in 1919 of habit training there has been effected, using the record of that year
as a basis of comparison, a reduction of 61 per cent in
the total number of hours of seclusion, and of 80 per
cent in the total number of hours of restraint in which it
has heretofore been found necessary to hold certain types
of this class both for their own and the protection of

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

others. At the same time their destructive tendency has
been sharply reduced. Such significant and happy results are due to the clear vision and patient work of the
Clinical Director and his assistants, and they testify
anew to the far-sighted wisdom of a former beloved
Superintendent in being first to substitute kindness for
harshness in the care of the insane, a policy which his
successors have steadily continued. They demonstrate
conclusively that the mentally ill respond to good nursing
no less than do the physicially ill. In this connection,
the Training School for Nurses maintained by the Sanitarium is a most valuable adjunct. Because of these
things the new year is entered with hope and courage despite one serious handicap, the overcrowded condition of
the Sanitarium.
Population
The year closed with 5096 resident patients, an increase for the year of 133, and for ten years of 1134.
The number of patients parolled with the right of return
within twelve months was 698, making a total enrollment of 5794 patients. The daily average number of
resident patients was 5046, an increase of 111. Applications for admission numbered 1591, of whom 1090 were
admitted. Others were granted admission, but for some
reason were not presented. Admission was necessarily
denied to harmless cases offering no hope of benefit and
easily cared for at home.
The report of the Board for 1927 stated that the
Sanitarium was then overcrowded by 1241 patients, and
this number has now grown to 1462. The gravity of this
condition needs no comment by the Board.
Measure for Relief
Responding to that report the Legislature in that
year generously granted the Board an appropriation of
$500,000, available in 1927 and 1928, for the erection of
two additional buildings. The first of these will be ready
for occupancy in February next and will accommodate
400 patients. It will be used to relieve the congestion
where it is most acute, the colored female department.
This building will be as nearly fire proof as it is possible
to make it and will mark a distinct advance in the type of

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

buildings heretofore had. Sanitarium labor has been used
as much as possible to reduce its cost which up to this
time has been $190,255.72. The second building, of the
same type of construction, is now under way and should
be ready for occupancy in the late summer of 1929. It
will be used as a hospital for the treatment of the acute
insane, and of the physically ill, thus supplying the greatest need of the medical department. It will contain 218
beds and be fitted with the best equipment it is possible
to give it. In honor of the long and faithful service of
the late Superintendent and Resident Physician it will
be known as the "L. M. Jones Building".
The report of the Board for 1927 stated that five
new buildings were necessary to provide for the over
population, and this estimate remains unchanged. The
completion of the two buildings under way will leave
three yet to be supplied, and these are needed to accommodate 300 white female patients, 200 white males and
200 colored males now in the Sanitarium. No provision
will be had in them for the future.
Other Building Needs
In addition to the three buildings just mentioned
there is urgent need for an amusement hall, ample in
size for the present population. The old one was built
many years ago and is much too small. No loss will result from its abandonment, since it can easily be converted into dormitories for patients. The very helpful
pleasures of the insane are not many, and such a hall is
a primary need for this purpose.
A second story should be added to the storehouse so
that sufficient room may be had in it for the storage of
supplies now necessary to be carried in stock.
A suitable residence should be provided for the use
of the Superintendent and Resident Physician, and his
present apartment in the Powell building used for administrative purposes. Such a residence should be in
keeping with the dignity of the institution and large
enough to permit him to dispense the hospitality expected of him as its official head.
A water main should be laid from the Sanitarium
to its Colony Farm four miles away so that the patients
there may be assured of an ample supply of water,
since the present source is unreliable. The alternative
is an artesian well with uncertain results.

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

Fire is the nightmare of all who are charged with
the care of the insane. The best protection is to be had
through fire proof buildings, of which the Sanitarium
has none, save the two new ones now under construction.
Its principal buildings now in use are of brick and wood
construction, with roofs of metal, slate or tile, and are
three stories high. Save in the case of the nurses home
no fire escapes are had. Escapes of the ladder type
would be as dangerous to insane persons as fire. Reliance has always been had on enclosed inside stairways
as a means of escape in case of fire, and thus far no fatalities have occurred. For protection against fire, reliance is had on water mains distributed throughout the
grounds from which the buildings are reached through
four-inch headers, a late model auto triple fire pumper,
an auto extension ladder of ample height, and a well
organized fire department. As a further and safer
means of protecting both buildings and inmates from fire
they should be speedily equipped with automatic fire
sprinklers. In calling attention to this ever present danger, the Board is painfully aware that the present congested condition of the Sanitarium very greatly multiplies it.
Attention is called to the attached report of the
heating engineer employed to make a survey of the present method and cost of heating the buildings, in connection with the present cost of electric current used for
lights and power, in order to ascertain what saving, if
any, is possible through a consolidated heating plant in
which is combined one or more electric power units, the
estimated cost of such, etc. No suffering is now had
from lack of heat, or from shortage of electric current
had from the Georgia Power Company, and the matter
is to be considered from the standpoint of economy alone.
When these needs shall have been supplied it is the
deliberate judgment of the Board that the further enlargement of the Sanitarium should end.
Provision for the Future
This judgment of the Board grows out of its knowledge that the Sanitarium is already one of the largest
institutions for the care of the insane in the United
States, and that its wise management is a problem of the
first magnitude. It believes that in it the safety limit
has been reached and passed. This problem is not peculiar to Georgia, and other States, facing the future, have

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

found the only safe solution of it to be in a second hospital. This course the Board very earnestly urges upon
his Excellency and the Legislature. There can be no
question of the dire need for such in the face of 501 applications for admission to the Sanitarium on hand at
the end of the year. Many other insane persons are
doubtless held at home or are cared for in private hospitals.
Hospitals for Sane Epileptics
No hospital program of the State will be complete
without some provision for epileptics who are not insane and for whom no State provision is now had. The
tendency of this malady is toward insanity and whatever the State can do to avert such an end is most wise
and humane. The distress of this class is the greater
because the nature of their malady with its repulsive
manifestation causes them to be shunned by the well.
The colony type of hospital which seems to be indicated
for their care and treatment might be made partly self
sustaining through the self helpful work of its patients,
and to this end ample ground for farm, garden, orchard,
poultry yards, etc. should be had. This class is not insane and such an hospital has no proper connection with
an hospital for the insane.
Surgical Sterilization
Bearing on the general problem of the insane is the
need for a compulsory law which will operate to prevent
the unfit from reproducing their kind to the consequent
detriment of society and burden to the State. This is to
be accomplished through surgical sterilization, and such
a law, if enacted, should apply to certain types of the
insane, the feeble minded, syphilitics and criminal recidivists as it may define, and should be compulsory under such regulations as may be provided. The beneficial effect of such a law will not be immediately apparent
for obvious reasons, but none who know the facts can
question its wisdom. The report of the Superintendent
cites the California law as a safe model to follow.
Widening Usefulness
The mental clinics established in Macon and Elberton by local physicians with the assistance of members
of the Sanitarium medical staff have justified themselves,

10

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

and might usefully be set up in all the large centers of
the State. Cases of suspected mental disorder are
brought before them for examination and such advice as
will avert a mental collapse.
The usefulness of the Sanitarium might be increased
by its assumption of some after care of its discharged
patients until such time as mental strength is had. This
could be accomplished through especially trained field
workers, who might also be used to gain fuller histories
of patients under treatment, for the guidance of the
medical staff. The means at its disposal do not now permit this additional work to be undertaken.
Growing public interest in mental hygiene is shown
in visits to the Sanitarium during the year by classes in
psychology from several of the colleges and universities
in the State. Lectures were had before them by members of the medical staff.
Water Supply
The water supply of the Sanitarium is drawn from
the Oconee river. An appropriation was had in 1927,
available in 1928, for enlarging this supply by additional filters, pump and water main. For economical reasons this work is being done with Sanitarium labor and
because of heavy weather during the year as well as the
need for work elsewhere this work has been much retarded. Pipe for the duplicate 12-inch main is on the
ground and partly laid, and a standpipe of 150,000 gallon capacity has been erected and is in use. The whole
work will be completed as rapidly as possible. The expenditures to date for this work are $42,613.01.
Although the pumping station is supposed to be located well above the highest water mark of record, the
flood during the year put it under four feet of water.
Only the great storage reservoir so wisely provided in
the past prevented a desperate situation. A levee has
now been built for its protection.
Milk Supply
An outbreak in the past of contagious abortion and
the prevalence of tuberculosis in the dairy herd have
served to greatly deplete its number. Rigorous measures were, taken to stamp out both troubles and the remainder of the herd now appears to be free. No replacements will be made until all danger of further infection
is passed. In the meantime reliance must be had on outside sources for an adequate supply.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

Finances
The total expenditures in the year for the support
of the Sanitarium were $1,191,871.25, of which $13,388.54
was from sources other than the State.
The cost per patient was $233.55, an increase over
1927 of $8.63, and mainly accounted for in the increased
cost of food supplies. The daily per capita cost was
$0.6398.
The year closed with working assets on hand of
$182,159.94 invested in cash, supplies, etc. The cash
liabilities were $81,534.49. The apparent cash deficit
was $12,122.15, as against a like deficit last year of $29,452.77. To offset this, a gain in the worth of supplies
on hand of $19,966.88 will be noted. In this connection
it should be remembered that the Sanitarium can never
be without a safe margin of supplies with which to meet
any emergency.
Supplies were bought as usual on competitive bids,
open to all, from samples submitted.
The usual audit of the books by the State Auditor
was made with satisfactory results.
The excellent work shown in the business department, including farm, garden and dairy, and in the department of up-keep of the vast physical plant, is such as
to merit for the Steward, Farm Steward and Engineer
the warm commendation of the Board.
Legal Amendments
The Board once again calls attention to the impossibility of enforcing the law governing admissions to the
Sanitarium as shown in Michie's Compilation of the
Code, Chapter 3, Article 2, Section 3102. It should either
be clarified, or repealed. It seeks to define the classes
entitled to admission, and to create both pay and pauper
patients, the last being those whose estates are valued
under $3000. It provides no method of ascertaining the
value of the estate of those seeking admission, nor for
the management of the estate of those admitted so as to
insure the payment to the Sanitarium of its "reasonable
charge for board and keep". It contains no provision
for those whose estates may fail to yield a sufficient income for their support, nor for those whose estate may
be wasted or stolen after admission. It is not made retroactive and is applicable to new admissions only. This

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

problem was fought out in the Legislature many years
ago and the Sanitarium then made free to bona fide citizens of the State. It was realized then that the State
must of necessity provide for her insane regardless of
their property holdings, and that the patients of the
Sanitarium could not be discharged from its care because
of inability to pay. It was realized, too, that the property of insane citizens bears it proportion of taxes for
the support of the State government. One exception to
this general rule seems possible and it in the case of those
possessing an estate but having no family or near dependent relatives. In such a case as this the estate might
properly vest in the Sanitarium to be expended for his
support, it being expressly provided that any residue remaining at his discharge shall be restored to him, or that
at his death it shall become the property of the Sanitarium. In such cases the Sanitarium takes the place of
family and relatives. Another serious objection to the
law is the unhappy and harmful effect on the patients
themselves through the class distinction the law would
create. For these and for other reasons the Board recommends the repeal of this section, and the enactment
of the following:
SANITARIUM FREE TO WHOM: The said Sanitarium
shall be free to all bona fide citizens of the State who may be
insane or afflicted with mental disease. No paralytic invalid,
idiot, imbecile, epileptic, drug or alcoholic addict, who is not
insane, shall be committed to or admitted to it.
The history which must accompany all applications for
admission to the said Sanitarium shall contain just and adequate reasons why such admission should be had. and if such
reasons are not given, the Superintendent may refuse admission.
It shall be permitted the family or friends of any person
who may be admitted to the said Sanitarium to furnish such
person at their own cost such clothing, extra food and other
luxuries as they may desire under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Board of Trustees.
If any person who may be admitted to the said Sanitarium shall be possessed of an estate, and shall be without
family or near dependent relatives, such estate shall vest in
the Board of Trustees of the said Sanitarium to be managed
for his benefit and to be expended for his use and support
while a patient in the Sanitarium, it being provided, however,
that in the event of his discharge any residue remaining of
such estate shall be put into his possession or that in the event
of his death it shall become the property of the said Sanitarium.

The Board also recommends the repeal of Section
1585, Article 2, Chapter 1, governing the examination of

Death of Board Members
The Board has lost two of its oldest and most highly
esteemed members in the last biennial period and the
fact is recorded with a deep sense of personal loss.
Mr. H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, Vice President of
and for eighteen years a member of the Board, died in
October 1927 following a surgical operation. His fine
legal ability and wide business experience gave worth to
his counsel and made him a tower of strength to the
Board. The benevolent purpose of the Sanitarium enlisted his whole heart and mind and caused him to give
it generously of his best. The call of duty when its
interest were to be served never failed to be answered.
The death of Mr. J. C. Jarnagin, of Warrenton, occurred in December 1928 following a brief illness, and

14

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

brought a service of nineteen years as a member of the
Board to its close. He brought to its sessions the wisdom had from long business experience, an understanding heart, a willingness to work and a faithfulness to
duty beautiful to see. Combined with his sterling qualities of heart and mind were a modest demeanor and a
happy disposition which won him many friends.
Personal
The duties of the Board have been faithfully discharged and every effort made to protect the interests
of the State and of society. It is grateful to his Excellency for his continued confidence and strong support.
Its thanks are due to the State Auditor for helpful aid in
the solution of its financial problems, to the Legislature
for its generous treatment, and to the Press for the
kindly and helpful interest shown in the Sanitarium. It
humbly prays that this great family of the helpless may
ever abide in the care of Almighty God.

ESTIMATE FOR CENTRAL HEATING AND
POWER PLANT
GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM
BY
THE MARKEL COMPANY, ENGINEERS, ATLANTA, GEORGIA

In preparing an estimate on the cost of the proposed new plant, we believe we are safe and that in actual
practice it will be possible to reduce this.
Considerable of the construction, especially the tunnels, could be done by the Sanitarium at a cost much less
than estimated.
The detailed estimate for this plant follows, and is
the basis for operating costs of the new plant.
The new plant would handle a low grade of fuel
which we estimate to cost not over 83 cents per ton at
the mine. The freight is estimated to be the same as at
present, or $2.99, making a total cost of $3.82 per ton.
For the plant labor for the new plant, we include,
Two engine room men ($150.00 per month)
Two firemen ($100.00 per month)
Labor

$3,600.00
2,400.00
1,150.00
$7,150.00

Regarding the extra coal for summer load, we believe this item will really disappear owing to the fact that
in the day time it will be absorbed by the laundry, while
the balance of the time it will be used in keeping up the
temperature of the domestic water, or in offsetting the
fuel that is now used in keeping pressure on the fire
pump.
In each set of estimates we have used amounts which
we believe will be required during the next year when
buildings, now under construction, will be under full operation. This applies to fuel, material and labor. In
estimating replacements in old plants, we believe this
amount will be necessary owing to the great age of the
equipment.
If we decided that no additions would be necessary,
in the present plants during the next ten years, then we
can reduce the size of the proposed new plant by at least
fifty thousand dollars.

A study of the above table shows an admission of
606 males and 484 females, or a total of 1,090 during the
year. This number is 131 less than the previous year,
but we received a total of 1,591 applications for admission, compared to 1,503 the previous year. The greatly
overcrowded condition of the institution compelled us to
refuse admission to many who made application for admission. In passing on applications, we endeavored to
give preference to the younger and more urgent type of
cases. The information contained in applicant's history
being the only criteria we had at hand, except supplemental letters from friends and relatives of those refused and later accepted. We hope, by the middle of
February, the new building for colored females will be
ready for occupancy. This building is constructed of
brick with concrete floors, and is of fire resistant construction throughout and will accommodate about 400
patients; allowing 50 square feet of floor space per patient for dormitory purposes and 30 square feet per patient additional for day porticos. This will provide adequate quarters for the colored females for some time.
Contractors begun work on the Psychopathic Hospital Building in November, and they plan to have it completed by. July 1st, 1929. This building will have six
wards and will accommodate about 240 patients. It will
be of fire resistant construction throughout and three
stories high with terrazo floors. The north side of the
building will be four stories including the basement,
which will compose gymnasium, occupation therapy
room, hydrotherapy room, X-ray quarters, physiotherapy
rooms and work shop. The first two floors will be reception wards for new admissions and the top floor will be
hospital wards for sick and surgical cases, with a modern
operating room and diet kitchen in connection therewith.
This building has been long needed by the institution in
meeting the problems of the unfortunate charges committed to her care.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

When these two buildings are completed and occupied, the institution will still be overcrowded in the
white male, white female and colored male departments,
by about 700 patients. Therefore, it is important that
provisions be made as early as practicable for this overcrowding, and to provide for the future growth of the
mental disease problem in this state. This commonwealth has assumed the burden of this problem, and it is
one that should be second to none of all of her responsibilities.
Individuals afflicted with mental disorders, have the
most serious of afflictions and are the most needful of
hospitalization of all who become sick, because the very
nature of their illness causes them to have behavior that
sooner or later conflicts with society and the law. Then
the law deprives them of their liberty. A person only
physically sick may elect to take treatment at home or
some general hospital of their choice, but if they become
mentally sick, they have no choice in the matter. Therefore, an environment should be provided for these unfortunates, equipped with facilities for treatment to comply with all requirements that modern phychiatry and
medical science offers, for their restoration to health and
useful citizenship.
After many years of thought and study of this problem, we are convinced that another institution for mental disease should be founded in another section of the
State and located near one of the medical schools or
large cities, so that a staff of consulting physicians and
surgeons (Specialist) would be available as consultants
with the resident staff. Looking to the future, we think
this would be wiser than to add more buildings to this
institution, except those now needed.
The above idea conforms to the opinions of most of
the leading and experienced superintendents of state Hospitals in the United States and Canada, and is practiced
by those states most advanced in equipment for meeting
the needs of their mental disease problem. Georgia is
the only State in the Union of its size, population and
wealth that is attempting to provide for this tremendous
problem with one institution.
The history of this institution, since it was founded,
convinces us that the problem will continue to grow with
the coming years, as the population of the State increas-

es; notwithstanding the progress being made in the methods of treatment and the fact that we are learning more
and more about mental hygiene, by a closer study of the
individual and his personal attributes in childhood and
adult life, and the various factors that cause maladjustment.
However, much greater results might be accomplished in the prevention of mental diseases, during this modern and stressful era, if the public mind would concentrate their energies to the problem of bad heredity. It
does not matter whether legal restriction of marriage,
surgical sterilization or segregation should be remedy
or remedies applied with other mental hygienic activities; the prescription is a long one, and would require
many years before outstanding results might be obtained. I am convinced that surgical sterilization of those
afflicted with certain types of mental disease, the feebleminded, syphilitics and criminal recidivists, is the best
remedy medical science has to offer and would eventuate
in greatest results if made compulsory. If not made compulsory, I doubt the wisdom of such law. California has
one of the simplest and best sterilization laws that I
have been able to find.
Furloughs, Discharges and Deaths
Of the 898 patients furloughed during the year, 355
were white males, 307 white females, 116 colored males
and 120 colored females. Of this group, 188 were restored and 546 improved, making a total of 67.3 per cent
restored and improved, based on the total admissions for
the year.
Of the 646 patients discharged during the year, nine
were without psychosis, 156 were restored, 383 improved
and 98 unimproved, but we regarded harmless. This
group of cases, except those without psychosis, had previously been furloughed into the custody of relatives and
remained out of the institution over twelve months; the
furlough period allowed by law. A few of the restored
cases, soon after leaving the institution, requested their
discharges for business reasons, and they were given.
Of the 389 deaths during the year, 121 were white
males, 82 white females, 96 colored males and 90 colored
females. The total deaths during the year were 45 less
than the previous year. The average daily patient pop-

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

23

ulation was 5,046 and the total number under treatment,
exclusive of those on furlough, were 6.026. The death
rate during the year was .064 per cent of the total number under treatment.
Medical Service
No innovations in treatment were instituted during
the year, but we endeavored to keep in mind the idea of
studying the origin and meaning of symptoms and nursing attention. While no great discoveries, like insulin in
the treatment of diabetes has been made, yet, we think
that some progress is being made in the treatment of
mental disorders, and one of the evidences of this is the
noted improvement on the wards of the destructive rate,
seclusions and restraints of the disturbed cases. While
we are gradually learning more and more about the problems of the different type of cases, yet, we sometimes feel
that our progress is rather slow.
We continued the use of foreign protein in the form
of typhoid vaccine in the treatment of general paralysis
of the insane. Of the 84 cases treated, 46 were white
males, 3 were white females, 27 were colored males and
8 colored females. Of the 46 white males treated, 21
improved, 11 did not improve and 14 died. Of the 3
white females treated, none improved—all still living.
Of the 27 colored males treated, 1 improved, 9 did not
improve and 17 died. Of the 8 colored females treated,
2 improved, 4 did not improve and 2 died. Ten of the
improved group have been furloughed into the custody
of relatives, and the future alone can determine the final
result. We discontinued the Ketogenic dietary treatment of the group of epileptics, as results obtained did
not warrant its continuance.
We continued occupation therapy as an aid in treatment, but made no material advances in this department,
as we have been unable to secure a properly trained individual to take charge of this work in the white female
department. In this connection, I will state that the
many male patients' that we encourage to work in the
gardens, on the farm and the many activities about the
institution are greatly benefitted thereby. It does not
matter so much whether an individual is engaged in arts
and crafts, industrial or agricultural activities, the results obtained may be good if the proper approach is

'2A_

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

made under tactful and wise supervision. When work
of any kind is employed as a therapeutic measure, it
should be under the direction of the physician, effect
noted and recorded.
The general health of the patients during the year
has been very good; no extensive contagious and infectious disease epidemic occurred, although during the latter part of the year, a mild epidemic of influenza developed with a few deaths from pneumonia complications.
We were rather apprehensive when water works
was flooded by the river during the high water in August. The bacteriological test of the water afterwards
showed evidence of slight pollution, but no harmful results followed.
The institution's extra mural activities expanded
some during the year. In addition to continuing the
Macon and Elberton Clinics, a member of the Staff began
spending an afternoon of each week at the Georgia Training School for Boys. Also classes from Georgia State
College for Women, Milledgeville; Teachers' College,
Athens; Emory University, Atlanta; Mercer University,
Macon; Morris Brown University (colored) Atlanta,
visited the institution and were given lectures on abnormal psychology and shown clinical cases. Amusements in the form of weekly dances, moving pictures and
band concerts were provided as formerly.
The record made by the Training School for Nurses
was unusually good. A detailed report of the "home
coming" of the Alumnae, graduating exercises, list of
graduates, plan of instruction and curriculum will be
found in the report of Superintendent of Nurses.
A detailed review of the medical work with statistical tables will be found in the report of the Clinical
Director.
Changes in Medical Staff
Junior Assistant Physician A. H. Fowler resigned to
enter private practice at Langley, S. C.
Interne W. B. Brigman resigned on account of ill
health.

Pathologist E. B. Saye resigned to accept position of
pathologist to Davis-Fisher Sanitarium, Atlanta, Ga.
Drs. J. C. Statham and C. R. Youmans were appointed as Internes.
Pellagra Study
The studies on the treatment and prevention of pellagra, conducted by the United States Public Health Service in conjunction with the medical staff, were continued
under the general supervision of Dr. Joseph Goldberger,
with Dr. G. A. Wheeler in local charge. Several staple
foods have been studied and their pellagra prevention influence determined.
Fresh milk or buttermilk in quantities of 40 ounces
as a daily food supplement, has been found satisfactory
in the prevention or treatment of the disease. Also, seven ounces of fresh beef, six ounces of canned salmon and
one ounce of dry powdered yeast have each been found
satisfactory agents in prevention and treatment of the disease.
Findings obtained by these workers in their dietary
studies have led them to the conclusion that pellagra is
due, not to too much or too little protein, carbohydrate,
fat or mineral constituents, but to a fault in some accessary food principle of the class known as vitamins,
that have been designated by Dr. Goldberger and his
associates as the P. P., or pellagra preventive factor.
Some students of nutrition have since classified it as
Vitamin F; others as Vitamin G. Meat; fresh lean
meats, salmon, tomatoes, wheat germ and yeast are
known to contain it in more or less abundance. This
vitamin has been found to be soluble in water and alcohol,
and not appreciably affected by heat. It seems that the
pellagra problem, as a result of these studies, will become
more and more simple, as the various foods are studied,
and their values, as sources of this vitamin, be publicly
made known.

Deeds to the right-of-way through the land of different owners through which the duplicate water main
to the water works will be laid, has been secured and
properly recorded at the County Court House, and
nearly 2,000 feet of this pipe line has been placed.
The contractors, Dupree & Sons of Rome, Ga., completed their part of the construction of the new building
for colored females, November 20th. Our Engineering
Department is doing the electrical wiring, plumbing and
heating for this building, and we hope to have it ready

28

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

for occupancy by February 15th, 1929. Mention has
been made of this building in a previous section of this
report.
Two new pavilions for tubercular patients were constructed of Wood: one for white females and other attached as an addition to pavilion A for white males; provides adequate room for our tubercular patients for the
present.
The erection of the 150,000 gallon steel water tower,
by J. S. Schofields, Sons & Company of Macon, Ga., to replace the 40,000 gallon tower that has been in use 52
years, provides a much needed equipment.
Some of the work laid out for this department had to
remain unfinished, on account of effort to complete the
new building for colored females so that it could be occupied as early as possible to relieve the greatly overcrowded condition in this department, and to provide
room for others waiting admission.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward shows a total disbursement for maintenance during the year of $1,191,871.25,
including internal income of $13,388.04. On the basis of
deducted internal income, the per-capita cost for the year
was $233.55 or .6398 cents a day compared to .6162 a
day the previous year.
A detailed analysis of the receipts and disbursements, both for maintenance and special appropriations,
accounts payable and receivable at the end of the year;
also statement concerning productions of farm, garden
and dairy with estimated values and cost of operation,
etc., are included in the Steward's report.
Farm, Garden and Dairy
On account of the severe cold weather last winter
and the excessive rains throughout the year, productions
of vegetables and farm products were not as good as the
previous year. The pecan trees that we had budded four
years ago are beginning to grow and bear a little. We
gathered 2,900 pounds pecans; enough to give every
patient some during Christmas.

GEORGIA STATE SANITARIUM

The dairy herd has not yet become entirely negative
to tuberculin test, as two reactors were found when last
test was made in November. We are now milking about
one-third of the cows we were before we discovered the
infection in 1927; hence, we have continued to buy milk
to make up our deficient supply.
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of the
amount of food stuffs and other products raised on the
farm, garden and dairy during the year.
Religious Services
Religious services were held each Sunday afternoon
at 3 o'clock by the Chaplain, Rev. J. F. Yarbrough, pastor of the Milledgeville First Methodist Church, until
November 1st, after which date these services were conducted by his successor, Rev. F- H. Harding, the pastor
of the Milledgeville Episcopal Church.
Funerals of remains of patients who were interred
in the Sanitarium cemetery were conducted by the Chaplain.
Needs of the Institution Requiring Special Legislation
1. The name Georgia State Sanitarium should be
changed to Georgia State Hospital, or preferably Milledgeville State Hospital, in order to conform to names of
similar institutions in other States, and to keep it identified from other similar institutions that may be founded
in other sections of the State in the future.
2. An appropriation should be made available as
soon as possible for the erection of buildings to accommodate 300 white females, 200 white males and 200 colored males.
3. Another State hospital should be founded near
Atlanta, and the State divided into two zones to be served
by these institutions.
4. An appropriation of $10,000 should be provided
for making an addition to store house, which is now too
small to serve the needs of the Sanitarium.
5. An appropriation of $12,000 should be provided
to buy piping and material to run water main to the
colony.

30

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

6. A central heating and power plant would be
more economical and more efficient, and is most earnestly recommended.
7. Amusements and diversions are important aids
in the treatment of mental patients. The present amusement hall is too small. It has been in use more than
forty years and could be made into an occupation therapy
room for white females. An appropriation should now
be provided to erect a larger and fire-proof amusement
hall; estimated cost $50,000.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I wish to thank the members of the
Board of Trustees for their constant and unfailing interest in the welfare of the institution. I also wish to express my appreciation and thanks to those officers and
employees of the Sanitarium who have been loyal in their
support and faithful in the discharge of duty, because
they share greatly the credit for the success of carrying
on the work throughout the year.
I also wish to thank the women's clubs and others
who were thoughtful enough to send various gifts to the
patients during Christmas season.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT,

Report of Medical Department
DR.

R. C. SWINT, Superintendent,

DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report of the medical department for the year, 1928.
During the year one thousand and ninety (1090)
patients were admitted. Of these, eight hundred and
thirty-one (831) were first admissions and two hundred
and fifty-nine (259) were re-admissions. The percentage for each in the classification scheme is given in tables
one and two. Fourteen (14) were diagnosed as not insane. Four of these were placed in the mental deficiency
group. Two of these four were classified idiots. Of the
remainder one was a drug addict, a second was an alcoholic, a third was a psychopath and seven
did not present
sufficient symptoms to be classified Jas insane. Some of
the histories received with patients are extremely poor
and this at times is a drawback to classification and even
to diagnosis of insanity. The unclassified group is
rather large for the same reason.
The percentage of re-admissions is somewhat higher than last year. Of the two hundred and fifty-nine
(259) re-admissions fifty-four (54) had been previously
admitted to other hospitals, either private or public.
Twenty-two (22) patients were sent by order of
court. The criminal charges were as follows:
Murder
2
Shop lifting
1
Wife beating
1
Assault with intent to murder
5
Obtaining money under false pretenses..
1
Assault
1
Sending threatening letters
1

The mental diagnosis in the above cases were as follows:
Psychosis with mental deficiency

Manic depressive
4
Dementia praecox

Traumatic psychosis
1
Psychosis with epilepsy
1
Psychosis with cerebral arteriosclerosis
2
General paralysis of the insane
1
Senile
1
Not insane

22

The death rate for the year was 6.3 per cent of
those treated. Arteriosclerosis was the leading cause of
death; general paralysis of the insane was second while
epilepsy and broncho pneumonia occupied third place.
Two patients committed suicide by hanging. One patient was attacked by« another and died as a result of the
attack.
Eight hundred and ninety-seven (897) patients were
furloughed. Not included in this number were twentytwo (22) patients who returned to the institution to renew their furloughs and ten (10) patients who were discharged as not insane. One hundred and twenty-eight
(128) patients were furloughed as restored and five hundred and forty-six (546) as improved, making the combined recovery rate 67.3 per cent as compared with 62.8
per cent for the previous year.
The same general policies in treatment have been
followed that have been heretofore pursued.
After nearly two years trial, the ketogenic dietary
treatment of epilepsy has been discontinued because of
the lack of encouraging results.
The treatment of general paralysis by the use of
foreign proteins has been continued. The tabulation below gives some indication of the results. In the number
are included all patients who were given full treatment
or who died before treatment was completed. Not included are a few who are still under treatment and two
who escaped before treatment was completed. No results whatever were seen in the colored males. It ap-

33

pears that a febrile reaction was obtained less easily in
this group than in some of the others. In one instance
a dose of 40 billion dead bacilli were given intravenously
with a resulting temperature of 103. The improved
group included all degrees of improvement. Ten of
these have been f urloughed and are now at home:

The resignation of Dr. Saye, pathologist, has badly
crippled the laboratory work. The technicians, however,
are rendering valuable service in that department.
A small pamplet which deals with some of the practical points in nursing the insane has been prepared and
distributed to the attendants. It is expected that short
courses will be given to all those who enter this service.
It is thought twice per year will be sufficient. Quizzes
will be supplemented by lectures and demonstrations.
The need of such work has been long recognized but the
practical fulfillment of such a need is a matter of no
small difficulty. Lectures alone do not fill the need.
This will not be in conflict with the regular training
school which continues to operate as formerly.
The weekly clinic in Macon has been held each Friday. This work is in its tenth year and more and better
service has been given than ever before. During the
year 109 new cases were seen and a total of 428 visits
were recorded. The visiting physician is a member of
the Staff of the Macon City Hospital as consultant in
mental and nervous diseases and gives a course of instruction in nursing mental and nervous diseases to the
nurses at the Macon City Hospital and the Middle Georgia Sanitarium.
The Elberton School clinic has been held each month
during the school year. A total of 192 visits have been
paid to this clinic. This included 108 first visits. The
cooperation of the local agencies has been splendid and
it is felt that this clinic, not only offers an opportunity

34

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT

for mental hygiene but it is also an educational opportunity for the visiting physician. The attention of the
Common Wealth Fund Board has been attracted and they
have made an offer of assistance in the sum of $1,800 00
per year provided local agencies raise $600.00 per year.
This amount is to be used to pay a visiting teacher or
social service worker.
One member of the staff has recently begun work
at the State Reformatory for Boys. There is a very
large amount of work that might be done at that place
and we hope for some results.
During the year classes in psychology from Teachers
college at Athens; Emory University; Mercer University
and Morris Brown (colored) visited the institution and
were given clinical demonstration and lectures in abnormal psychology. The graduating class in medicine from
Emory University also paid us a visit.
The Elberton clinic, the work at the boys reformatory, the visit from the college and university students,
are all a result of a growing popular interest in psychology and mental diseases. The requests for assistance were voluntary. The institution is less isolated
than it once was and time seems right for judicious expansion in mental hygiene.
I wish to thank you and the Board for assistance
rendered and I make grateful acknowledgment to the
whole medical service for efforts at improvement.
Respectfully,
N. P. WALKER, M. D.,
Clinical Director.

DEAR SIR:

The following is the annual report of the Georgia
State Sanitarium Training School for Nurses for the year
beginning January 1, 1928 and ending December 31,
1928.
, ,

The record of the year's work has been unusually
good, the class work of high order and practical
The admission standards have been gradually raised
to require a full high school education. We have had no
difficulty in obtaining sufficient students and have a long
waiting list.
The Alumnae Association, each year, offers a prize
of all expenses to attend the State Nurses Association
Convention, to the nurse making the highest average during her junior year. The prize this year was won by
Miss Samantha Renfoe.
A "home coming" for all graduates was held May
16, 1928, and about fifty nurses returned to enjoy a reunion with friends and classmates. An excellent barbecue was served at six o'clock P. M. in a park near the
hospital after which all attended the annual commencement held in the Amusement Hall.
,.,,,..
The Annual Commencement was held at eight thirty
P. M., May 16th.
.
Dr Stewart Roberts, a well known physician of Atlanta gave an excellent address on the Trend in Medicine
which was enjoyed by the class and large audience.
Hon John T. Brantley, Blackshear, Ga., President
of the Board of Trustees, who has delivered diplomas to
all of the sixteen graduating classes except one, presented the diplomas. The hospital pins were presented
by Dr. Leatus Sanders, Commerce, Ga., a member of the
Board of Trustees.

EIGHTY SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
Milledgeville, Georgia, January 1, 1930
To his Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor,
Sir:The Beard of Trustees of the Milledgeville State Hospital, formerly known as Georgia State Sanitarium, respectfully submits herewith its report on the conduct and management of this institution for the year ended December 31,
1929, it being the eighty-sixth consecutive report to be so
made.
The usual quarterly meetings of the Board were held at
the Hospital during the year and its committees visited it
monthly. The well being of the patients, as well as the
financial interests of the State, have received its careful
thought. Every wise economy has been practiced and the
Board is happy to believe that the Hospital is slowly but
steadily advancing in efficiency. It observes in the officers
of the Hospital that which evidences a full appreciation of
their responsibility and of their opportunity to render a service of distinct value in its humane purpose.
Report of Superintendent
The annual report of the Superintendent and Resident
Physician hereto attached will supply essential details of the
movement of population, work of the medical department,
expenditures for the support of the Hospital, etc. The duties of this officer have been well and faithfully discharged
and he merits, as do the officers serving under him, the
warm commendation of the Board for the excellent record
of the year.
Patient Population
The resident patient population at the end of the year
was 5,291, a gain over the preceding year of 222. The paroled patients numbered 678, thus bringing the total enrollment up to 5,969 and establishing a new record for the Hospital. The pressure on the Hospital for admission shows
no abatement, the applications numbering 1,683, as against

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

1,591 last year. Admission was denied to 379 applicants
because of the unrelieved congested condition of the Hospital, which makes it imperative that admission be restricted
to cases offering hope of benefit from hospital care and to
dangerous cases.
Congested Buildings
The situation of the Hospital in the matter of room grows
more and more serious. One of the new buildings provided
for in the appropriation of 1927 is completed and occupied.
The second is practically completed, but must be furnished
before it can be used. An appropriation of $50,000.00 was had
in 1929 for this purpose and for the payment of interest due
its contractors and when this is paid the building can be
utilized. At the same time an appropriation was had to
provide additional dormitory buildings for the use of patients, three such being needed for the relief of the present
congestion. The uncertainty surrounding the payment of
this last appropriation is such that the Board does not feel
authorized in going forward with plans for their erection,
sore as is the need for them. The Hospital must, therefore,
continue to crowd 5,300 and more patients into buildings
which can safely accomodate but 4,000. The danger of this
condition needs no comment, for it is painfully apparent.
Cost of Maintaining the Hospital
The daily average number of patients in the Hospital during the year was 5,219, while that for 1928 was 5,046, an
increase of 173 patients. These were cared for at a cost
to the State of $229.56 each, which covers every expense
connected with the Hospital. This cost is $3.99" less than
that of 1928. The daily per capita cost was $0.6289.
The Hospital has lived within its income, assuming the
appropriation for maintenance to have been paid in full, and
has on hand an unexpended cash balance of $2,770.07 in addition to the usual quantity of supplies. The farm and garden operations were of substantial assistance to this end.
So satisfactory a result is witness to the vigilant work of
the business officers headed by the Steward.
Financial Condition
The year was one of grave anxiety because of the inability of tiie State Treasury to meet the demands on it. Payments to the Hospital were not made at regular intervals
nor in equal monthly installments as has been the custom

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
for many years and because of this it has not been possible
to carry on its business in orderly fashion. The year closed with $250,000.00 due the Hospital for maintenance and
unpaid. The ability and willingness of the Hospital Treasurer to come to its aid saved a situation which bade fair
to become tragic and for this disinterested service the
Board makes to this valued officer its grateful acknowledgement. The overdraft with the Hospital Treasurer is
now $203,832.67 and in addition there is due for supplies
and accumulated payrolls the sum of $82,335.91. To the
usual items in the Board's estimates of cost, interest must
now be included.
The continued failure of the State, through lack of
funds, to complete the payment of the building appropriation had in 1927, due for payment in 1928 and 1929, gives
the Board great embarrassment, for it is thus unable to discharge the debt due the contractors of the second building
erected thereunder. There is due on this appropriation a
balance of $287,746.42, which must be paid in full before
the Board can come to the well deserved relief of the contractors. In the meantime, the interest cost on this debt
is mounting. It will be recalled that authority was given
the Board to proceed with the erection of this building and
that payment of this and other past due appropriations was
legalized at the last session of the Legislature.
In the same year was had another appropriation to be
used for a much needed enlargement of the Hospital water
supply and on it there is still to be paid a balance of
$34,052.42. For economical reasons, the work under this
appropriation is being done by the Hospital and not by contract. The payments received have permitted the purchase
and laying of a duplicate 12 inch water main three and three
quarter miles long and also the erection of a steel stand
pipe. There remains to be purchased and installed settling basins, filters and electric pumps and this can only be
done when payment is had of the balance due on this appropriation. The speedy completion of this work has become a matter of first importance, so that a danger which
now threatens the water supply may be averted. This danger is in the age of the niters now in use whose walls, weakened from long, constant use, show signs of collapse.
There are two of these and both are worked to capacity to
keep the Hospital supplied. The new ones will have to be
installed and put into use before the old ones can be torn
down and rebuilt. The Board very earnest!}' urges the

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

quick payment of this balance so that this work may be
completed.
Death of Engineer DeSaussure
The Hospital was deprived by death on October 25, 1929
of the services of one of its most useful and capable officers,
Engineer T. H. DeSaussure. For forty-five years he gave
it of his best. His work was characterized by its thoroughness. He was remarkably proficient in the fields of civil,
hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and sanitary engineering
and in addition he was an architect of no mean ability.
Many of the present buildings of the Hospital were erected
under his supervision and its only fireproof building recently added was built to his plans and specifications. He has
left behind him many monuments to his skill. As fire chief,
he was responsible for the safety of the buildings and their
inmates from fire and the good record of the Hospital in this
respect is history. He merited and enjoyed the full confidence of the Board of Trustees. He gave to the Superintendent a ready obedience and an unquestioned loyalty.
He was held in affectionate esteem by all. His death is a
distinct loss to the Hospital.
Second Hospital for the Insane
There can be but little doubt but that the time is at hand
when the State must found a second hospital for her insane,
whose number grows steadily larger. The present hospital
even with the new buildings provided for in the appropriation referred to herein erected and put into use, can not
properly care for more than its present population of patients, nor is it wise that it should attempt to do so. Provision must be made for the steady increase and wisdom
points to a second hospital as the only solution. The Board
urges that due consideration should be given this important
matter, for it is important alike to society and to the afflicted.
Hospital for Epileptics not Insane
The State's hospital program for the future should include suitable provision for the epileptics who are not insane. The Hospital receives those who are insane, but no
provision is had by the State for the sane among them.
Their condition is indeed pitiful, for the nature of this malady, due to its repulsive manifestations, is such as to cause
them to be shunned and avoided by the well. Its tendency

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

9

is toward insanity and unless it is checked those who suffer
from it must ultimately become charges upon the State for
life. Because the self helpful labor of the inmates of such a
hospital as is suggested can be made to contribute substantially to its support, the burden to the State for such support
should not be heavy. The interest of this Board arises from
its knowledge of the pitiful condition of these sufferers.
In Conclusion
The Board is well aware of his Excellency's interest and
sympathy in the work committed to its care. It has done its
best to cope with a most unusual financial situation. This
great family of the afflicted for which it is responsible must
be fed, clothed and tended and funds to this end must come
from the State. It knows of no way by which the Hospital
can support its present population on any sum materially
less than the appropriation made for this purpose. It can but
hope that the State will be able to make full payments to
the Hospital regularly and punctually throughout the coming year, but, if for any reason it should appear that such
payments can not be made, then his Excellency is asked for
instructions as to how the Board is to proceed to meet such
a condition. Any substantial reduction in the cost of maintaining the Hospital necessarily means a substantial reduction in the number of its patients. To bring this about will
involve so much human suffering and want that it should
not be considered until every possible resource of the State
has first been exhausted.
In submitting this report the Board does so in the hope
its acts are such as to warrant his Excellency's approval. It
has been a privilege to the members of the Board to serve
the Hospital to the best of their ability.
Commending this house of mercy to the protection of the
Great Physician, this report is respectfully submitted.
JOHN T. BRANTLEY,
President.

MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JAN. I, I93O.
THE HONORABLE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
MLLLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL,
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA.

Gentlemen:
In accordance with your rules I have the honor of submitting the eighty-sixth annual report of the Milledgeville

In this connection you will recall that the Legislature
changed the name of the Georgia State Sanitarium to "Milledgeville State Hospital" during the biennial session the
past summer. The present name conforms to good psychiatric nomenclature and definitely identifies the hospital from
any other state institution that now exists or may be founded in the future.
The reports of the heads of Departments give a general
review of the activities of the hospital throughout the year
by departments, and these reports are appended hereto as
follows:
The Clinical Director,
The Dental Department,
The Superintendent of Nurses,
The Pharmacist,
The Engineer,
The Farm Steward,
The Treasurer,
The Steward.

The overcrowded condition of the hospital caused the refusal of admission of many urgent cases that necessarily resulted in considerable suffering on account of the delay in
admission, but the total admissions for the year were 139
greater than the previous year, and the total applications for
admission were 1,683 compared to 1,591 the previous year.
The building for colored females, described in eighty-fifth
annual report, was completed and opened on February 18,
1929. This provided room for 420 colored females and relieved the greatly overcrowded wards in that department,
and since the opening of this building, we have had room to
admit all colored female applicants. Before the completion
of this building, the colored female wards were more greatly
overcrowded than other wards of the hospital.
We now anticipate completion and opening in two or
three months, the Psychopathic Hospital, L. M. Jones
Building. This will provide room for about 240 white patients, accommodating both males and females. This building has been referred to and described in eighty-fifth annual
report. We are proud of this building. It has long been
needed, and we think it will make quite a contribution to the
hospital's facilities for meeting the very complex problems
of the unfortunate charges committed to the hospital's care
and treatment.
The mental disease problem in this state, as in other
states, is gradually growing. The $500,000.00 appropriated
by the legislature last summer for additional buildings, if
available now, would provide buildings adequate for the
present overcrowded wards, but it will not provide for the
future growth of the problem. Therefore, this feature of the
problem must be anticipated if we ever expect to relieve the
present overcrowded wards, so that we may have adequate
room so essential for the proper care and treatment of mental patients. In this connection, it might be of interest to
note some facts about the growth of the problem. The following tabulation gives the growth of the hospital and the
state by decades since 1846, when state care was adopted:

A study of the above tabulation gives an idea of what may
be anticipated. What is to be done about it?
I am personally convinced that we have enough statistical information to prove that psychopathic inheritance is a
predisposing cause of mental disease, and no mistake will be
made if we concentrate our energies on the problem of prevention of bad heredity. There are many psychiatrists and
other scientists who do not place so great emphasis on heredity, but rather emphasize environment. Every student of
the subject realizes the importance of both, and the most
optimistic environmentalists cannot disprove the many facts
that are known concerning the laws of heredity, while there
are many things concerning inheritance not yet fully understood. If an individual is born of good inheritance, the environment problem will be partly solved, because every individual is a part of and contributes to the making of his environment. It seems that we might at least pay as much attention to human betterment as we do to animal and plant life.
The best and most practical remedy that medical science
has to offer toward the prevention of bad heredity, is surgical sterilization of those afflicted with certain types of mental disease—the feeble-minded, syphilitics and criminal recidivists. Legal restriction of marriage is not practical. Segregation is too tremendous an economic problem to consider. Twenty-three states have already enacted a sterilization law, and has not enlightenment and civilization advanced far enough in Georgia for the public mind to face
and solve this problem in keeping with the times?
Another mental hygiene measure that would prove helpful to the problem would be the establishment of psychopathic wards to general hospitals and creating a psychiatric
department of these hospitals. The experience of some general hospitals has demonstrated that this may be done successfully, and without much expense or much change in
hospital structure. It seems that this might be successfully
done in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Macon, and probably

14

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

other larger cities of the state. The general hospital could
occupy a most strategic position in the field of mental hygiene, making quite a contribution to a program of cure and
prevention. A well equipped general hospital already has
many facilities needed for the diagnosis and treatment of
mental disorders. They would form earlier contact with patients, and particularly so called "nervous" patients with
vague mental symptoms, and also extend benefits to the local community in helping to educate the public to look upon
mental disease in the same way it regards physical disease,
thereby giving the individual afflicted with mental disease
the equal opportunity to get well that the less unfortunate
individual with only physical affliction. Also, such a program would be of value in educating the general practitioner to some of the problems of mental patients, thereby
rendering him more interested and efficient in the treatment
of them.
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a general review
of the activities of the medical work with statistical tables
that contain much information of interest.
I am pleased to state that the medical work of the hospital
was carried on in the usual efficient manner, and that the
general health of the patients were as good as could be reasonably expected, and that the population did not suffer With
any epidemic disease. With the greatly overcrowded wards.
the responsibilities and work of the medical staff, nurses
and attendants have necessarily been greater, and only careful attention and faithful performance of duty made possible
the results obtained.
850 patients were furloughed during the year, and of this
number 364 were white males, 287 were white females, 86
colored males and 113 colored females. 219 of this group
were restored and 500 improved, making a total of 719 furloughed as restored and improved, or 57.6 per cent, based on
the total admissions for the year.
574 patients were discharged from the records during the
year. This does not refer to deaths, but patients who had
been furloughed and were not returned to the hospital before the expiration of twelve months. Of this group, 303
were males and 271 females. 148 were restored, 343 were
improved, 77> unimproved and 10 as without psychosis.
There were 453 deaths during the year. Of this group, 117
were white males, 104 were white females, 134 were colored
males and 98 were colored females. Based on 6,298, the total

M1LLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

IS

number under treatment during the year, the discharge rate
was .09 per cent., and the death rate .07 per cent.
We feel that we made a little progress in occupation therapy work during the year. Three new occupation rooms
were fixed up and put into operation in the white female department: two in the Powell Building and one in the female
convalescent building. A renewed interest and activity in
this work was also shown in the white male department
with work rooms on the fourth floors of the Whittle and
Cabaniss Buildings, and the work shop at the white male
occupation park made a creditable showing in furniture
making.
Quite a bit of interest and activity was directed toward
amusement of patients,—dances, moving picture shows,
band concerts, group picnics and walks. Quite an interest
was taken by patients in Field Day, conducted by Miss Cecile Humphrey, Social Worker. Many contests were engaged in by patients and they greatly enjoyed them.
The Training School for the feeble-minded was continued in operation with Misses Bonner and Pendleton as
teachers. This school, in addition to teaching the children
something, provides a play ground for them.
The Hospital's extra mural activities were continued during the year with the psychiatric clinics at Macon, Elberton
and Georgia Training School for Boys. Classes from the
University of Georgia, Emory University, Mercer University and Georgia State College for Women visited the hospital and were given clinics and practical demonstrations
of abnormal psychology. Also, the Superintendent addressed the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs at Macon and the
Kiwanis Club in Atlanta, and the Rotary Club of Americus,
and the Second Assistant Physician gave two addresses to
Parent-Teachers Associations at Macon.
A few changes occurred in the medical staff during the
year. Junior Assistant Physician W. F. Dobyns resigned to
accept position with Veterans Bureau at Memphis, Tenn.,
and we secured the services of Drs. E. W. Schwall and C. R.
Smith as Medical Internes.
The Training School for Nurses was kept up to its usual
efficiency, and its successful operation is due mainly to our
efficient Superintendent of Nurses, and her report gives pupil admission requirements, plan of instruction, an outline
of curriculum and other information.
We hope that the training course for attendants, begun
this year, will prove of great value to the medical service,
and we are looking forward to the time when every ward in

16

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

the hospital will be in charge of a graduate nurse or graduate attendant.
Religious services for patients were held as formerly each
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. F. H. Harding, until
November 1, at which time the four Protestant pastors of
the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches of Milledgeville, begun to rotate monthly as Chaplains, to conform to resolution passed by the Board of Trustees at their quarterly meeting in October.
Pellagra Study
The dietary study of pellagra, begun by the United States
Public Health Service, 1914, under the general supervision
of Dr. Joseph Goldberger, was continued during the year.
But, medical science and societv suffered a great loss in the
death of Dr. Goldberger, January 17, 1929. He was one of
the most unassuming and yet one of the greatest medical
men I ever came in contact with. He was peculiarly possessed of those qualities so essential for a research worker.
We were fortunate to have this work continued under the
charge of Dr. G. A. Wheeler, who has been working with
Dr. Goldberger for many years.
The work completed the past year has included tests of
superheated dry yeast and canned Haddock, as pellagra
preventatives. "The yeast was first exposed to the heaf of
the autoclave at fifteen pounds pressure for three and onehalf hours. By this process the antineuritic factor, or Vitamin B, was destroyed. The finding that the pellagra preventive value of yeast is not noticeably affected by this heat
confirms previous studies along this line and paves the way
for a study of the value of the various canned foods in respect to their value in pellagra. The Haddock study has
shown that eight ounces per day as a dietary supplement, is
hardly sufficient to prevent a recurrence, but that twelve is
quite adequate."
During the latter part of the year, in co-operation with
the Clinical Director, Dr. Wheeler begun a preliminarv
study of the influence of diet on epilepsy.
Dental Department
Two full time dentists were employed during the year

There were 468 specimens of cerebrospinal fluid examined, of which number 358 were routine specimens secured
from patients referred to in Table I. A routine examination
of the cerebrospinal fluid is made in the case of each patient
whose blood reacts positively to the Wassermann test. Of
the 11 white females in above tabulation with 4 plus positive blood Wassermann. 5 or 45.4 per cent, had positive reactions in spinal fluid. Of the 22 white males with 4 plus
positive blood Wassermann. 19 or 86.3 per cent, had positive reactions in spinal fluid. Of the 63 colored females with
4 plus positive blood Wassermann, 15 or 23.8 per cent, had
positive reaction in spinal fluid. Of the 60 colored males
with 4 plus Wassermann of the blood, 41 or 68.3 per cent
had positive reaction in spinal fluid. General average 55.9
per cent, positive serological reactions. This gives an idea
of the incidence of neurosyphilis in patients admitted to the
hospital with syphilis.
Engineering Department
The sudden death of Engineer T. H. DeSaussure, October
25, 1929, caused a great loss to the hospital, He was depend-

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

19

able and efficient, and rendered forty-six years of efficient
and faithful service to the hospital. Since his death, the
work of this department has been satisfactorily carried on
by Assistant Engineer W. S. Jett, and his report gives a
general review of the principal activities of the department
during the year. The upkeep and repairs of the physical
plant of the hospital requires quite a number of more or less
skilled workmen and a large amount of varied work. As in
previous years, quite a bit of authorized and outlined work
remains unfinished and will be carried to completion the
next year.
The Business Department
The report of the Steward gives a detailed analysis of income and expenditures during the year. The exhibits and
schedules give in detail the condition of all accounts. The
annual per capita cost was $229.56 compared to $233.55 the
previous year. The daily per capita cost .6289 cents compared to .6398 the previous year.
The hospital experienced a very difficult year, financing
the construction of the L. M. Jones Building without the
funds appropriated for this purpose; also during the latter
part of the year, the State Treasury was unable to make
prompt payment of maintenance ; hence the year ended with
the Treasury owing the hospital quite a sum and the hospital owing many unpaid bills.
Farm, Gardens and Dairy
The Farm Steward's report gives a tabulation of the food
stuffs produced during the year. We had rather favorable
seasons for food crops during the year, and were fairly successful. Among the items produced were 21,532 bushels of
corn, and this should be enough to feed our stock and provide meal for the hospital for the year.
Conclusion
In concluding this report. T wish to thank the members
of the Board of Trustees for their support and interest in the
hospital. I also desire, at this time, to express my appreciation for the valuable assistance rendered by the officers and
employes of the hospital throughout the year.
Also, the women's clubs of the various districts of the
state and many others are due the thanks of the hospital for

20

their thoughtfulness in remembering the patients with many
gifts during the Christmas season.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.
Dr. R. C. Swint, Superintendent,
Dear Sir:
The following pages contain the medical report for the
year, 1929.
Twelve hundred and twenty-nine (1,229) patients were
received; one hundred and thirty-nine (139) more than the
previous year. Of these nine hundred and forty-seven (947)
were first admissions and two hundred and eighty-two
(282) re-admissions. Many of those readmitted had been in
other institutions either public or private.
The larger groups (manic depressive and dementia praecox) were in about the same ratio as for the previous year.
Among the smaller groups there was an actual increase of
29 or 35% in the number of cases classified as psychosis
with cerebral arterio-sclerosis and actual increase of 25 or
55% in the number diagnosed as psychosis due to pellagra.
Nineteen (19) patients suffering from encephalitis were admitted. These form but a small part of the number of patients received, but they are of a pitiable nature. Stramonium seems to have given best results in treatment.
Six (6) patients, three (3) of whom were criminals, were
considered not insane. Three (3) of these six appeared to
belong to the psychopathic group.
Seventeen (17) patients were sent by order of the court.
The criminal charges were as follows: arson 2; assault and
battery 1 ; accusation for escape 1 ; assault with intent to
murder 2; assault with intent to rape 1; burglary 1; giving
worthless checks 1 ; larceny 4; murder 3; vagrancy 1. Three
of these were classified as not insane.
The recovery rate does not have a very definite meaning
unless the length of the furlough period is considered. As
heretofore the recovery rate is the ratio of those furloughed
as improved or restored to the number received. The recovery rate for the year was 58.50% under the twelve months
furlough regime. For 1928 it was 67.3. Had the furlough period been three months as it was some years ago the recovery rate would have been lower for the reason that one hundred and twenty-six (126) patients were returned after more
than three months but in less than twelve months. Under

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

21

the three months rule these patients (126) would necessarily have been recommitted and thus the number of patients
received by admission increased by this number. The discharge rate would have been affected in the opposite way
since these patients (126) would have been discharged after
being away from the institution for three months.
The recovery rate was lower than for the previous year.
This seems to be accounted for in part at least by the increased proportion of colored patients received. In 1928 the
colored patients constituted 32.66% of those received while
in 1929 they made up 39.30%. The recovery rate for the
whites in 1929 was 73.9% against 72.6% for 1928. For the
colored the rate for 1929 was 34.5% against 56.4% for 1928.
The average rate for the two races for the past seven years
has been 65.5 and 45.0 respectively. The increase in the ratio of colored patients received is not to be taken to mean
that there has been a corresponding increase in insanity
among the colored race but is due rather to increased capacity in the colored department.
There were four hundred and fifty-three (453) deaths,
7.06% of all patients actually under treatment. For 1928 the
death rate was 6.3%. The leading assigned causes of death
were: arterio-sclerosis ninety-three (93) ; general paralysis
of the insane seventy-three (73) ; tuberculosis fifty-seven
(57) ; pellagra thirty-four (34) ; cerebral hemorrhage thirtythree (33).
The treatment of paresis by the use of foreign proteids
has been continued. Malaria has been given a second trial
and is still being used. We have been unable to secure the
favorable results reported by others but there has been
enough encouragement to continue the methods of treatment.
In September and March short courses of instruction in
nursing the insane were given the attendants who had entered the service in the preceding six months. This consisted of quizzes, lectures and clinical demonstrations with
patients. This is considered a matter of much importance
but up to this time it has been difficult to organize the work
on a satisfactory basis. If it were possible to put each new
attendant under an experienced and capable head it would
probably help considerably. The above course was given to
159 attendants. Dr. Yarbrough lent valuable assistance in
the matter.
The weekly clinic held in Macon on each Friday afternoon has been continued by a member of the staff. One
hundred and forty-nine (149) patients reported at thite

22

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

clinic. The total number of patients' visits were four hundred and ninety-eight (498). The visiting psychiatrist continues lectures on nervous and mental diseases for the three
nurses' training schools in Macon and holds clinical demonstrations for these nurses in this hospital. He has been
called on to give talks before various civic, church and
school organizations in that city.
Five (5) monthly school clinics were held at Elberton.
A total of one hundred and four (104) patient-visits were
paid to this clinic, fifty (50) of which were first visits. The
patients presented problems of delinquency, physical handicaps, finance and home situations. The visiting staff member was called on in a number of instances to see adult
psychotic cases at Elberton or in its vicinity.
The examination of the inmates of the State Reformatory
for boys has continued by a member of the staff.
The activity of the laboratory technicians is testified to by
the fact that more than 10,000 examinations were made in
that department. The details are given in their report.
The customary tabulations will be found on following
pages.
I here make grateful acknowledgement to all who have
contributed towards making our medical service an efficient
one.
Respectfully,
X. P. WALKER, M. D.,
Clinical Director.

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

January 1, 1930.
Dr. R. C. Swint,
Superintendent
Dear Sir:
The following is a report of the Training School for
Nurses for the year beginning January 1, 1929, and ending
December 31, 1929.
We have had a greater number of applications for entrance to the school this year than ever before; therefore,
could be more select in our choice of students. The selections were made according to age, physique, and standing
in high school.
Thirty-three applications were received from which eighteen were admitted. Four of these withdrew for various reasons, two failed in examinations, and one was not accepted
after serving part of the probationary period.
One junior and one senior withdrew from school during
the year.
Miss Ora Blanche Taylor, Milledgeville, Ga., made the
highest average during her junior year. As a reward the
Alumnae of the school paid her expenses to the Georgia
State Nurses' Association Convention, which met in Rome,
Ga., in November.
The Alumnae, with a membership of fifty-five, continued
its loyal support to the school and participated in all the activities of the Sixth District Nurses' Association as well as
the State Association.
The Annual Commencement was held May 23, in the
Amusement Hall. Dr. R. C. Swint, Superintendent, presided.
The processional was played by the Hospital Band and
Miss Gladys McMichael, Beuna Vista, Ga., sang two beautiful solos accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Lovic Pierce
Longino.
Dr. Richard Orme Flinn, pastor of the North Avenue
Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, Ga., gave a most interesting
address to the class and large audience. Hon. John T. Brantley, Blackshear, Ga., President of the Board of Trustees, in
his usual charming manner, delivered the diplomas, and Dr.
T. M. Hall, Milledgeville, Ga., Vice-President of the Board,
in a few well chosen words, presented the hospital pins.
The following nurses received diplomas:

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Engineer
Dr. R. C. Swint,
Superintendent and Resident Physician.
Dear Sir:
Please find below the annual report of the Engineering
Department for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The new negro building has been completed and is now
occupied. All plumbing, steam fitting and electrical work in
this building was done by this department. The steam for
this building is supplied from the old negro building boiler
room, the efficiency of the boilers in this place having been
increased by placing hand stokers under them. An 8" water
main has been run from near the old negro building boiler
room to the new building. Six-inch branches have been run
from this main to four fire-plugs placed around the building
in accordance to the recommendation of the Southeastern
Underwriters Association.
Water closets have been installed in the two cottages near
the new negro building. These two cottages have been
painted on the outside.
All of the barns and outhouses at the dairy have been
given a coat of whitewash.
The cottage at the dairy, and the one at the mule lot have
been reconditioned. Two rooms have been added to each.
Two ventilating fans have been installed in the Amusement Hall. These fans were paid for by the Occupational
Therapy Department.
The cottage located at the south end of the front yard of
the Green Building has been renovated and painted. A portion of two rooms has been partitioned off to form a toilet
room, and a water closet and lavatory installed therein.
The steps from the railroad level to the lawn level in front
of the Green Building have been relaid. Some of the treads
in this flight are of concrete, there not being enough of the
old granite treads to make the increased height caused by
the lowering of the railroad tracks.
Two cafeteria units have been installed in the dining
rooms of the Twin Buildings. This includes two electrically
operated dish-washers.
The old concrete floor in the negro building kitchen has
been taken up and a new one laid. All of the cooking equipment was reset; new pipe, fittings, valves and a steam trap

being used. One of the old cast iron kettles was replaced by
a new aluminum kettle of the same capacity.
A brick room, 16 feet by 20 feet for use as a pastry room,
has been built on the east side of the negro budding kitchen
This room has a concrete floor, with a center floor dram, and
is connected to the main kitchen by a ten-foot arch.
A bath room, containing a sink, a shower and two water
closets, has been built between the negro building kitchen
and the boiler room. This room connects directly to the
kitchen, and is for the use of the patients and negro employees that work in the kitchen.
The officer's quarters on the third floor of the Male Convalescent Building have been painted throughout.
A plaster partition has been built in the hall on the third
floor of the officer's quarters in the Female Convalescent
Building.
. „ .
A corrugated, galvanized iron garage has been built in
the rear of the L. M. Jones Building. This garage has three
car stalls. Two of these stalls replace the two garages that
were located between the Female Convalescent Building
and the L. M. Jones Building.
.
A tile storm-sewer drainage system has been installed
around the front and the west side of the 1917 negro
building. This system takes off all of _ the storm water that
falls on and around this part of the building.
All of the floors in the old negro building, with the exception of the bath-room floors, have been repaired or renewed.
Also all windows and door frames have been repaired or renewed This same work is .now being done in the Green
Building. The floors in the Green Building are being stained
and waxed as soon as completed.
A flight of concrete steps, thirteen treads high, has been
built from the Twin Building Road to one of the officer s
cottages on this road.
One unit of the Twin Buildings water heating apparatus
has been retubed. Also the water heater at the Green Building, and the water heater that supplies the center portion of
the T O Powell Building have been retubed.
The work of laying the duplicate 12" cast iron water mam
from the waterworks to the Sanitarium will be completed
about the first of March, 1930. Quite a lot of time has been
lost from this work, due to the fact that the labor was required to do the steam work at the new negro building, and
also to do the work around the Female Convalescent Building, preparatory to supplying steam to the L. M Jones
Building.

66

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

A new 1,000 gallon-per-minute, motor-driven centrifugal
pump has been purchased for the waterworks. This pump
will deliver the clear water to the storage reservoir at the
Sanitarium. As soon as the necessary valves and fittings are
secured, this pump will be put in service.
A brick suction well has been built at the waterworks, to
be used in connection with the new clear water pump.
Anticipating the lowering of the water in the river on account of the breaking of the dam at the power plant by the
city of Milledgeville. the intake well at the river has been
remodeled to receive two cast iron sluice gates. These gates
will be placed in the well at a lower level than the present
openings. This will allow the flow of water in the well to be
controlled from the top of the well, no matter how much the
river is lowered by the breaking of the above mentioned
dam. The two gates have been purchased and will be installed during the coming summer.
Once a month during the year, samples of our water were
sent to the State Board of Health for bacteriological analysis. The Board of Health states, that to be safe for drinking,
a water should not show pollution in over 10% of the total
number of samples examined. During this year 190 10 c. c.
portions of our water were examined. Of this number, a
fraction over 4% showed pollution.
The Plumbing and Electrical Contractors have completed
their work on the L. M. Jones Building. The General Contractor has also completed his work, with the exception of a
few minor jobs.
The main sewer line from the Jones Building was installed under contract, under the supervision of this Department. This sewer line is 1,475 feet long, and has a maximum
depth of 36 feet 6 inches. The sewer is laid with a 1% grade.
The steam for the L. M. Jones Building is supplied from
the Female Convalescent Building boiler room. In order to
accomplish this, the following work was done :
A concrete tunnel was constructed between the Female
Convalescent and the Jones Buildings. This tunnel carries
the steam and the steam-return pipes.
A new hand stoker boiler was installed in the boiler
room. This necessitated the enlargement of the boiler room
building, and the erection of a larger chimney. The chimney
erected was a radial tile chimney, 100 feet high.
A new pump-pit was built at one side of the boiler room,
and two motor-driven, centrifugal boiler feed pumps installed therein.
An 8-inch cast iron water main has been run from the

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

rear of the Female Convalescent Building to the Jones
Building.
In addition to the ordinary repair work required continually throughout the institution, the carpenter shop, the furniture shop, the shoe repair shop, the broom factory and the
paint shop have been kept busy making and repairing the
various articles required in the different departments.
Respectfully submitted,
W. S. JETT, JR.,
Engineer.

Report of Steward
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1929
Milledgeville, Ga.,
December 31, 1929.
Dr. R. C. Swint, Supt.,
Milledgeville State Hospital.
Dear Sir:
I submit herein a comparative financial report of the condition of the
MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1928-29; also comparative detailed statements of receipts and disbursements
and other data for these periods.
It appears that the operation of the hospital during these
years was confined within its income by narrow margins,
but that its cash deficit of $12,122.16 at the end of the 1928
period, was displaced with a balance of $2,770.07 at the close
of 1929, provided its maintenance appropriation had been
paid in full to the end of the year.
According to the books and accounts in this office the income of the hospital for the year 1929, less INTERNAL
INCOME, was $1,200,635.17, and its expenditure $1,198,064.83; a difference of $2,570.34 in excess assets. On this
basis its per-capita cost compared favorably with that of
1928 (The appropriations for the two years being the same)
and is as follows :
1928
1929
Annual per-capita cost
....'$233.55
$229.56
Daily per-capita cost
63,98
.62,89
The daily average number of patients increased from
5,046 in 1928 to 5,219 in 1929, a difference of 173, and while
supported at a lower annual cost than in 1928, necessitated
an increased expenditure for the year of $39,713.88.
A total of $325,906.58 was spent during the years 1928-29
in the construction of the Psychopathic or Jones building.
$293,380.14 of which was in 1929, and $202,300.17 in the
construction and equipment of the new negro building,
$12,045.45 of which was spent during 1929, making a total
expenditure of $528,206.75 against special appropriations
made in 1927-29 for new buildings, and leaving an available
balance of $21,793.25 for completion, equipment, etc.

11

EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

Of the appropriations for new buildings, aggregating
$550,000.00, the state has paid the sum of $262,746.42, leaving an unpaid balance of $287,253.58 now due. The payment
of $262,746.42 made by the state against these appropriations when applied to the sum expended for the construction and equipment of new buildings leaves a balance of
$265,460.33, the greater part of whicn has been temporarily
borrowed from banks by contractors and others with requisitions on the Governor used as collateral. A further payment has been made on this expenditure by a disbursement
of some $39,927.67 from the regular maintenance fund, and
the balance is still due contractors, individuals and corporations for labor and material supplied.
The sum of $45,947.58 was spent during 1928-29 against a
special appropriation of $80,000.00 made in 1927 for the erection of a lank and tower, the enlargement of the waterworks system, the laying of a duplicate water-main, etc.;
leaving a balance of $34,052.42 available for the completion
of this work. Of this expenditure of $45,947.58, the state has
paid the sum of $45,118.01.
The following exhibits and schedules set forth in detail
the condition of all accounts, and are used in support of the
figures above given.
Exhibits:
No. 1. Comparative Balance Sheets December 31, 1928-29.
No. 2. Comparative Statements Receipts and Disbursements, 1928-29.

No. 2. Accounts Receivable as of December 31, 1929.
No. 3. Production, Farm, Garden and Dairy.
We have been financially embarrassed throughout the
year, not alone because of our inability to promptly pay our
officers and employees, but our creditors as well.
The financial condition of the state treasury and its failure to pay our maintenance fund when due, has made it impossible for us to promptly pay our current obligations, and

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL_

73

we closed the year with more than $200,000.00 in unpaid accounts, payrolls, etc.; many of which were more than three
months past due, and all payable from our regular mamtenance. We also closed the year with more than $^A),UUU.UU
due us on special appropriations, the greater part of which
had been borrowed and spent.
The non-payment of our appropriations both regular and
specials upon their due dates has further handicapped us, in
that it has necessitated the payment of interest on borrowed
money and on past due accounts. Since there is no provision
made for the payment of this item of expense, it must of
necessity be incorporated in OUR EXPENDITURE and
deducts'from our maintenance. The failure of our creditors
to invoice accrued interest at end of fiscal year, accounts for
the small amount shown in report, and the full amount of
this unforeseen item of expense must appear in report for
1930.
Strict economy has been practiced throughout the year,
and such distribution made of the limited funds available
for our support as would best tend to maintain the confidence and good will of our officers and employees, as well
as that the hospital has always heretofore enjoyed from the
business people of this and other states.
Respectfully submitted,
HOMER BIVINS, Steward.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL
MlLLEDGEVILLE, GA., JANUARY 1, 1931.

To His Excellency, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor.
Sm:
The Board of Trustees of Milledgeville State Hospital,
charged with the care of the State's insane, respectfully
submits herewith its eighty-seventh annual report
covering the conduct and management of ^ inrtitafaon
for the year 1930. The annual report of the Superintendent and Resident Physician, accompanied by those ot
the heads of departments, forms its principal part and
presents the history of the year ""nteresting d M
The record made is an excellent one and justly entitles this
official, and his assistants, to high praise. The Hospital
continues to make steady progress, even though it be slow,
toward a greater efficiency in the humane purpose tor
which it exists.
The Patients
The year closed with 5320 resident patients in the
Hospital. The average daily number of such was 5^29,
an increase of 110 over the previous year It was
necessary to deny admission to 458 applicants, while 1052
were granted admission. Lack both of room and of funds
for their support made such denials imperative. The rule
of the Board severely restricting admissons to dangerous
cases, and to recent or acute cases, and even these
to vacancies caused by death or discharge, has occasioned
much distress in many instances, but hasbeen unavoidable The reports reaching the Board would indicate that
many of those to whom admission was denied are being
cared for in the county jails in the absence of local
hospital facilities. The Board deeply ^egrets this condition and again urges that the funds appropriated for
relieving it be made available at once.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

Cost to the State
The operation of the Hospital in 1930 cost the State
$1,245,912.00, or $233.80 for each patient based on the
average daily number resident in it. Assuming the
appropriations made to it for maintenance to have been
paid in full it would appear to have lived within its means,
and to have closed the year with a surplus of supplies and
cash on hand of $157,619.00. Its good business management is thus attested. Unfortunately, however, these
appropriations have not been paid in, full and the year
closed with $380,000.00 yet due the Hospital on them,
and with it in turn due its creditors a correspondingly
large sum, on which interest is now accumulating. It has
been able to pay few supply bills since; June last. The
Board now records its appreciation of the generout treatment accorded the Hospital by its creditors in the extension of time of payment granted, and which has made
it possible to keep the Hospital open.
The problem of maintenance, because of the inability
of the State to discharge its obligations to the Hospital
punctually and in full, was not the only one to confront
the Board, for it was also faced by liabilities it could not
discharge incurred under the new building appropriation
of 1927, due for payment in 1928 and 1929, and which has
still not been paid in full. A second appropriation for
new buildings was made in 1929, and on the two the State
was due the Hospital at the close of the year $597,135.00.
There was also due it on the appropriation for enlargement of the pumping station made in 1927 a balance of
$34,881.00. In this situation the Board felt justified in
using a payment of $205,000.00 made on the 1929
appropriation to reduce the indebtedness incurred under
the older one and this was done. This payment left a
balance yet due on this indebtedness of $67,129.00. When
payment is made of the 1927 balance the Board will be
able to pay this debt in full and to restore the funds
borrowed from the new appropriation. It can take no
steps for the construction of buildings under the new
appropriation until this has been done.
In all, the State would appear to be due the Hospital
under all these appropriations the sum of $977,133.00.
Provision for 1932 and 1933
At its present rate of growth and with the new
buildings completed and in use, the Board estimates that
provisions must be made for 5700 patients in 1932, and

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

for 5900 in 1933. Because of the downward tendency in
the cost of supplies it believes that this increased number
of patients can be cared for within the estimated cost for
1931 and therefore recommends that an appropriation
for the next biennial period of $2,800,000.00 be granted,
one half of which shall be made available in 1932, and one
half in 1933.
The Plant
The Hospital continues overcrowded, its equipment
being unequal to the demand on it. This serious situation
is not new, nor has the Legislature faikd to act for its
relief as the building appropriation had in 1927 and 19^9
testifv. Three buildings were thus provided for, one ot
which is completed and in use, and a second completed
but not yet in use because of a lack of funds with which
to furnish and operate it. This second building is designed for use as a hospital and promises to be of great
worth to the medical department. The appropriation of
1929 orovides in error for but one building, and not lor
the three asked by the Board. The sum appropriated is
sufficient for the three and permission should be granted
the Board to erect them as soon as the appropriation is
paid The completion of all these buildings will relieve
the present congestion but will provide little room for
fUtU

Thfrgreat physical plant has been kept in the best
repair possible with the limited funds available to the
Board The great age of many of the buildings makes
this expense an item of no mean proportions.
A consolidated or central heating plant, combined
with an electric power and light plant offers attractive
economical possibilities and might wisely be given careSi consideration by the Legislature. The report of the
Board for 1928 presented an estimate of the cost ot
building and operation of such prepared by. ^i^rs °f
experience. The cost was then estimated at $367,500.00,
and the saving to be effected by it at $23,449 00 per
annum. No doubt the cost could now be revised downWarC

There should be a revision of the value on which the
fire insurance carried by the State on the plant is based
The replacement cost of the buildings is far in excess of
the original cost now the basis for this insurance, and
the State should be more fully protected for its own sake,
as well as for the sake of the Hospital.

10

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

The water supply of the Hospital is seriously
endangered because of the failure to complete the enlargement of the pumping station made possible by the
appropriation for this purpose had in 1927. This is due
to the failure to make payment to the Board of the balance
due on this appropriation. A part of this work has been
completed and is in use, but additional settling basins,
filters and pumps are yet to be installed. Water consumption by the Hospital now nears the capacity of the
present plant and is seriously endangered by the weakened
condition of the filters in use. The Board cannot too
strongly urge the necessity for making the balance due on
the appropriation available to it at once.
Other Building Needs
The report of the Clinical Director gives some indication of the growing use by the medical department of
occupation thereapy in the treatment given. Its worth
has been so abundantly demonstrated that the needs of
the department looking to its wider use should be fullv
supplied. The most important of the present needs is for
a larger amusement hall, the old one having long since
become too small for the present population. It is located
in one of the dormitory buildings and can be readily
utilized so that its abandonment will occasion no loss. A
new building of ample size and suitably equipped is
estimated to cost $50,000.00.
The Hospital in all the years of its existence has
never possessed a home for its Superintendent, and to
which he is entitled. The need for more room for administrative purposes and the fact that his present apartments are located on the second floor of the administration
building and are convenient for such use impels the Board
to ask an appropriation in the sum of $25,000.00 with
which to build such a home. He is the official host of
the Hospital and his residence should be ample in size and
in keeping with the dignity of his position.
Protection From Fire
The danger of fire is ever present in the Hospital.
One such was had during the year but without serious
results. With the exceptions of simple frame bulidings in
use on the farm and as tuburcular wards, and one
building of fire resistant construction, the buildings
housing patients are of brick and wood construction and

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

11

covered with metal roois. Practically all are three
stories in height. The Hospital has no fire escapes on
the outside. Those of the ladder type would be dangerous
to insane persons and those of the tube type of dubious
value. Reliance is placed on inside stair ways of wood
properly enclosed, and on fire doors, for the protection ot
the inmates. The Hospital has an organized, well
equipped fire department, and is supplied with water
mains well distributed throughout the grounds. A water
storage reservoir of 1,000.000 gallons capacity is kept constantly filled. The most practical form of protection
against fire, other than those had, is through sprinklers,
and to install these in all the buildings will entail a cost
estimated at $230,000.00.
Widening the Work of the Hospital
The Board continues to grant the use of members of
the medical staff to clinics in Macon and Elberton, conducted by the local medical bodies, to aid in the diagnosis
of persons showing signs of mental disorder and in prescribing proper care and treatment for them. The success
attending these clinics has led to the establishment ot
another in Athens, from which good results are expected
The expense thus far has been small. This work might
usefully be extended to all the large centers in the State,
and should be when funds to defray the cost are had. The
advice of the Hospital physician in such cases may not
infrequently serve to prevent a later commitment to the
^Insufficient funds and not lack of interest has kept
the Hospital out of another field of usefulness which
should be occupied, and this the after care of its discharged patients until mental strength is fully restored.
The newly restored mental case does not differ greatly
from the newly restored physical case, and both require
watchful oversight for a time. To subject such cases too
soon to the stress and strain of life is most unwise. The
Board hopes that through the organization of the smaller
counties into health districts to be supervised by health
officers that the way may be opened for this supervision
at the minimum of cost. In the larger counties in which
a well organized health service now exists this supervision
should not be difficult when once installed.
The Hospital School of Nursing is conducted with
such success as to keep the Hospital well supplied with
graduate nUrSes well trained in the care of mental and

12

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

nervous cases, and in addition to send forth into private
practice many others so trained. A service of distinct
value is thus rendered society.
Second Hospital for the Insane
It is very evident that the founding of a second
hospital for the insane is inevitable. This is shown in the
great and growing population of this Hospital, and in the
unceasing demand on it for admission. In addition there
are problems of management which make too large a
hospital most unwise. The founding of such second
hospital is a matter of such major importance as to
demand that its founding be preceded by careful study,
not only of the need but also of type and location. The
Board suggests the unwisdom of a much longer delay.
Law Amendment
The present provision for admission to the Hospital
as shown in Michie's Code Chapter 3, Article 2,
Section 3102, because of the confusion in its terms, should
be repealed. It seeks to create two classes of patients,
pay and pauper, the last being those possessed of estates
of less than $3000 in value. It sets up no method for
ascertaining the value of any property owned by those
seeking admission, and provides no means of collecting
from the estate of "pay" patients its "reasonable charge
for board and keep". No provision is had for those whose
estates may be exhausted in their support, or whose income may be unequal to the cost of such. It is not
retroactive and applies only to new cases. Its terms are
such as to prevent its enforcement. The Board does not
believe the law wise, and for these reasons:
(a) The State must of necessity place under
custodial care its insane citizens regardless of any
property they may possess. The best interest of society
are so served.
(b) Patients possessed of property are already
taxed for the support of the State government, including
the Hospital.
(c) It is conceivable there may be cases whose
relatives will prefer to keep them out of the Hospital in
order to save the expense involved, and so endanger the
interest of society.
(d) It will serve to create within the Hospital a
class distinction among the patients capable of working
a great harm to those of the "pauper" class.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

13

It is the well considered opinion of the Board that the
wise policy of the State is to admit free of charge all bona
fide citizens of the State. If any citizen is to be taxed for
the cost of his support therein it might well be those who
possess an ample estate with no one dependent on them.
These however, will be few in number and the income
from 'such source will be small. Of the admissions in
the year just ended only 11 are reported as having an
ample estate and all of these doubtless had dependents
Should the burden of supporting the Hospital be too great
a tax on the income of the State then the Board suggests
that consideration might be given to the policy prevailing
in many of the States of pro-rating the cost, on some
equitable basis, between the State, and the County committing.
For these and other reasons the Board recommends
the repeal of the law cited and the enactment ot the
following as a substitute:
STATE HOSPITAL FREE TO WHOM: The said State
Wr^nital shall be free to all bona fide citizens of the State
w^may be legally adjudged insane, or afflicted with mental
disease.No paralytic invalid, epileptic, idiot imbecile drug
addict or alcoholic addict shall be committed or admitted
to it.
A history must accompany all applications for admission
to the said State Hospital which shall show a just and adequate
reason why such admission should be had, and if .such reason
is not given, the Superintendent may refuse admission.
The relatives or friends of any person admitted to the
said State Hospital who may desire to furnish them with
clothing extra food and other creature comforts shall be
allowed the privilege of doing so at their own cost but under
sucT rules and regulations as the Board of Trustees may
prescribe,
If any person committed and admitted to the said State
Hospital shall be possessed of an estate equa to his support
and sha 1 be without near and dependent relatives such estate
shalfvest in the Board of Trustees to be expended for his use
and support; provided, however, that in the event of his discharge any residue remaining of such estate shall be restored to
him: and it being further provided that injhe event of his
death the title to such estate shall then vest m the btate
Hospital

In view of the biennial sessions of the Legislature
some expense might be saved the Hospital by the substitution of biennial for the annual reports now required by law to be made by this Board. The Board
recommends that the law be so amended.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

Resignation of Trustee, Thomas M. Hall
The resignation from the Board of its Vice-President,
Dr. Thomas M. Hall of Milledgeville, because of ill health,
deprives it of the services of one of its most useful
members, and it records the fact with deep regret. The
demands of a large practice did not prevent the punctual
discharge of his every duty to the Hospital. In, his search
for renewed health the kindly interest of trustees and
officers alike follow him.
Death of Trustee, C. C. Brantley
It is the sad duty of the Board to record the passing
of one of its members, the death of Mr. Charles Conn
Brantley of Valdosta having occurred on July 28, 1930,
after a brief illness. He became such member by appointment of Governor Joseph M. Brown in 1913, and in 1921
was made its Secretary. His wise judgment of men and
matters, a faithful service ably rendered and a warm
heart gave him high place in the esteem of his associates,
and cause him to be greatly missed.
In Conclusion
In submitting this report of its stewardship the
Board thanks his Excellency for the support given it in, a
most trying year. Responsibility for the well being of
so many of the helpless and dependent is not a light one,
especially so when funds for their support is lacking, but
the Board has made a most faithful effort to meet it. It
can but hope the dark days of the Hospital are safely
passed and that the coming year will see its financial
needs fully supplied. It makes due acknowledgement of
the courtesy shown it by the State Auditor, and of the
sympathetic attitude of the State press. Its members
esteem it a high privilege to have rendered this service to
humanity and once more unite in commending this great
family of the afflicted to the protection of the Heavenly
Father.
By order of the Board of Trustees,
JOHN T. BRANTLEY,
President.

Of the 5,320 patients in the Hospital December 31,
1930, 8 are clinically grouped as Traumatic psychoses,
composed of 6 white males, 1 colored male and 1 colored
female.
75 are grouped as Senile psychoses, composed ot J
white males, 33 white females, 5 colored males and 28
colored females.
164 are grouped as psychoses with Cerebral Arteriosclerosis, composed of 68 white males, 22 white females,
42 colored males and 32 colored females.
128 are grouped as Dementia Paralytica, composed
of 62 white males, 11 white females, 33 colored males and
22 colored females.
25 are grouped as psychoses with Cerebral Syphilis,
composed of 14 white males, 5 colored males and 6 colored
females.
,
7 are grouped as psychoses with Huntington s
Chorea, composed of 3 white males, 3 white females and
1 colored female.
71 are grouped as psychoses with other Brain and
Nervous Disease, composed of 29 white males, 22 white
females, 16 colored males and 4 colored females.

38 are grouped as psychoses with Pellagra, composed
of 8 white males, 4 white females, 1 colored male and 15
colored females.
32 are grouped as psychoses with other bomatic
Disease, composed of 9 white males, 11 white females, 6

1092 are grouped as Manic-Depressive psychoses,
composed of 228 white males, 454 white females, 165
colored males and 245 colored females.
1 993 are grouped as Dementia Praecox, composed of
556 white males, 719 white females, 249 colored males and
469 colored females.
36 are grouped as Paranoia or Paranoid Condition,
composed of 12 white males, 20 white females, and 4
colored females.
414 are grouped as psychoses with Epilepsy, composed of 131 white males, 148 white females, 89 colored
males and 46 colored females.
#
30 are grouped as Psychoneurosis, composed of J
white males, 19 white females and 2 colored males.
37 are grouped as psychoses with Psychopathic
Personality, composed of 15 white males, 12 white
females, 8 colored males and 2 colored females.
708 are grouped as psychoses with Mental Deficiency,
composed of 259 white males, 265 white females, 119
colored males and 65 colored females.
445 are left Unclassified, composed of 98 white males,
179 white females, 84 colored males and 84 colored
females. A further study of this group will doubtless
find that the majority of them have developed symptoms
that will put them in the Dementia Praecox group.
1 white male is provisionally grouped as Mental Deficiency without Psychosis, 1 white female and 1 colored
male are grouped as Epileptics without psychoses.
It is noted from the above information that 1,993
patients or 37.4% of the Hospital population are afflicted
with Dementia Praecox, and 1,092 or 20.5% with MamcDepressive psychoses, and that these two mental disorders comprise over one-half or 57.9% of the Hospital
Population. When it is further noted that these two
mental disorders constitute 54.3% of the total admissions,
the location of the clinical groups containing the major
problems in mental disease is more clearly indicated.
The total number of patients in the Hospital at the
end of the year is only 29 more than at the beginning, but
the daily average was 5.329 compared to 5,219 the
previous year, or an increase of 110.

18

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

Admissions
1,510 applications for admission were received, compared to 1,683 the previous year, a decrease of 173. We
think this decrease probably due to the Ordinaries of the
various Counties having knowledge of the overcrowded
condition of the institution, rather than a decrease in the
incidence of mental disease in the State.
Account of overcrowding, 458 were refused admission, compared to 379 the previous year, an increase of
79.
952 were admitted, compared to 1,229 the previous
year, a decrease of 277. Of the 952 admitted, 752 were
first admissions and 200 were readmissions, i. e. had
previously received treatment in this institution, other
State hospitals or private mental hospitals.
It might be of interest to note also that 337 or 35.3%
of the admissions had been engaged in some form of
agricultural occupation, 26 or 2.7% had professions, 140
or 14.7% had occupations of domestic and personal
service, 6 previously employed in public service, 45 in
trades and transportations and the remainder had
miscellaneous occupations.
848 or 89% of the total admissions were native
Georgians, and only 5 were born in foreign Countries.
Of the 752 first admissions, 214 had a common school
education, 44 high school and 15 college. 265; had urban
and 487 rural environments. 11 were said to be in
comfortable financial circumstances, 127 marginal and the
remainder financially dependent, or unascertained.
Furloughs, Discharges and Deaths
We are sometimes asked if there are not many
patients in the Hospital who might be discharged. Of
course, this is a question that daily confronts us, especially
as the Hospital is now so greatly overcrowded and many
applicants are awaiting admission. Each member of the
Medical Staff is charged with the responsibility of
promptly reporting the names of patients as soon as they
are well enough to leave the Hospital, so that the matter
of their furlough or discharge may be brought up for
consideration.
A recent diagnostic tabulation of the patients in the
Hospital shows only one patient provisionally grouped as
mentally deficient (feebleminded) without psychosis and
two others as epileptics without psychoses.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

19

During the year, 779 patients were furloughed, and
of this number, 194 were restored, composed of 97 white
males, 43 white females, 28 colored males and 26 colored
females. 451 were improved, and of this number, 162
were white males, 145 white females, 61 colored males
and 83 colored females. Based on total admissions,
20.3% were furloughed as restored and 47.3% improved,
making a total of 67.6% restored and improved, compared
to 57.6%, the previous year, an increase of 10%.
553 patients remained out of the Hospital beyond the
12 months' furlough period and were discharged from the
records. Of this number, 164 were restored, composed of
91 males and 73 females. 319 were improved, composed
162 males and 157 females. Based on total admissions,
17 2% were discharged as restored and 35.5% as improved, making a total of 50.7% discharged as restored
and improved.
A total of 423 deaths occurred during the year, a decrease of 30 compared to the previous year.
Capacity of the Hospital
It seems that the overcrowded condition of the wards
of the institution which has existed for many years, and
the necessity for the refusal of admission, on account of
overcrowding, to many very urgent applications, should
be sufficient proof that the capacity of the plant is inadequate to meet the needs of the State's mental disease
problem. At the close of the year there were over 100
patients in the County jails and more than that number
being cared for by relatives and friends awaiting
admission because of overcrowding and no room. Such
a condition necessarily results in considerable suffering
and is poor business from an economical standpoint, as we
have learned from experience that the sooner the
hospitalization of individuals afflicted with mental
disease, the better chance they have for recovery.
Another and recent study of the capacity of the
Hospital, making a liberal estimate but complying with
sanitary and other hospitalization requirements, shows
that the population of the Hospital should not exceed
4,403; exclusive of the new Psychopathic Hospital (L. M.
Jones) Building. This building was completed in April
and partly furnished during the Summer, but could not
be occupied on account of inability to obtain maintenance
appropriation. When this building becomes occupied it
will add 240 beds to the capacity of the institution.

The greatest overcrowding is now 425 in, the White
Female Department, next the white male, then colored
males and colored females. When the new colored female
building was opened in February, 1929, there was enough
overcrowding in that department to fill it up, leaving
some vacancies on wards in the older buildings. These
vacancies have been filled and this department is now
beginning to again overcrowd.
Medical Service
The report of the Clinical Director gives a review of
the medical work during the year. No serious epidemic
occurred among the Hospital population. No marked
changes were made in the routine and methods of treatment. We are gradually expanding Occupation Therapy.
Staff meetings were conducted daily at 9 A. M.,
except on Sundays, by the Clinical Director on reception
wards where a summary of the mental and physical
examinations of new admissions were read and _ the
various problems of the cases discussed. Also sometimes
abstracts of histories of patients to be furloughed or discharged were reviewed and discussed.
While a great many scientific investigations from
various viewpoints have been and are now being made of
the most common types of mental disease, yet, their etiology
and pathology still remain problematical, and, therefore
their treatment is largely empirical; hence, in their treatment we utilize psychotherapy, occupation therapy,
drug therapy, organotherapy and other therapeutic resources of medical science. Until one has made a serious
and prolonged study of human behavior and its dynamic
problems in relation to mental disease, he can have no
adequate conception of its complexity. In no other branch
of the medical science is it so essential that the human

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

21

organism be studied as a whole, i. e., body and mind,
keeping in mind that man's greatness and sanity is not
determined by his physical body alone, but mainly by
virtue of his ability for creative thinking, constructive
acting and capacity for adjustment. Furthermore, that
bodily conditions and diseases may effect one's mind, or
hinder the restoration of a mental disorder, and that a
fair test of mental health obtains when one does adjust
to environment and has that state of mind which permits
him to approach his maximum efficiency and happiness
with the minimum amount of friction and effort.
In the treatment of mental disease, the old adage
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is
beyond doubt, true. Therefore, preventive measures
should not be neglected, and they may be found in mental
hygiene and eugenics. A mental hygiene program should
include the home, the school, social life and business
activities. Eugenic measures should be adopted, looking
to the prevention of bad heredity. We have enough convincing information to indicate that an inherited predisposition is the foundation for mental disorder, and that
modern medicine teaches that the condition necessary for
a good mind is the inheritance of such germ plasm from
one's progenitors as will yield a brain and nervous organization capable of high grade development to individual
and social usefulness and the protection of that brain and
nervous organization from injury and the submission of
it to influences favorable to the development of its
powers. The best remedy that medical science has to
offer, at this time, for the prevention of bad heredity, is
surgical sterilization of those afflicted with certain types
of mental disease—the feeble-minded, syphilitics and
criminal recidivists, as recommended in, a previous report.
Pellagra Study
The dietary study of pellagra, begun by the United
States Public Health Service in 1914, was continued
during the year, under the supervision and direct charge
of Dr. G. A. Wheeler of the United States Public Health
Service.
This study during the year has consisted of a continuation of the test of individual food stuffs for their
pellagra preventive value. A study of the mature onion
was completed and showed no appreciable protection. A
study of canned turnip greens, canned spinach, canned

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

english peas and canned string beans was begun, and,
while these studies are still in progress, those pertaining
to turnip greens and spinich have advanced far enough
to indicate that they possess some capacity for protection.
In addition to the above, co-operation was extended
to the Clinical Director in the study of the influence on
epilepsy of a diet low in the antipellagric vitamin. A
group of ten epileptics were brought under observation,
eight of whom showed a pronounced reduction in the
number of epileptic seizures while on a diet of this
character. While the therapeutic value of such a diet is
limited by the fact that symptoms of pellagra will, in
time, appear, the results obtained, however, constitute
an important contribution to the study relating to the
influence of metabolism on epilepsy in which many
students of neuropsychiatry are interested.
Changes in Medical Staff
Dr. Chas. E. Dowman, of Atlanta, was added to the
Staff as Consulting Neurological Surgeon.
Interne W. J. Burdashaw resigned to accept position
with United States Veterans Bureau.
Junior Assistant Physician C. R. Youmans resigned
to engage in general practice.
Junior Assistant Physician J. C. Statham resigned
to accept position with United States Veterans Bureau.
Assistant Physician U. S. Bowen resigned to accept
position with United States Veterans Bureau.
Dr. J. D. Wiley, Interne, but later employed by United
States Public Health Service, was elected Assistant
Physician.
Drs. G. K. Cornwell, Raymond Suarez and M. F.
Langston were appointed Internes.
Dr. Langston will report for duty January 5, 1931,
as Dr. Statham's resignation does not become effective
until January 3, 1931.
After Dr. Bowen's resignation, the Clinic at Boys'
Training School was temporarily discontinued, but will
be resumed soon after the beginning of the new year.
Training School for Nurses
There are 32 student nurses in the School of Nursing,
10 of whom were in the Senior Class, 11 in the Junior and
11 in the Freshman. Since the establishment of the School
of Nursing, we have graduated 165 women and 2 men,
making a total of 167.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

23

The School was kept up to its usual standard during
the year, and detailed report will be found in Superintendent of Nurses' report in subsequent pages.
Dental Department
Two full time dentists were employed during the
year, and their report shows 8,607 total number of
operations and treatments. Of the 8,607 operations, 4,187
were extractions, 2,083 patients treated and 360 calls
to wards.
We regard the dental work as an important aid in
treatment, therefore,we have them to examine the mouths
and teeth of new admissions soon after they are admitted.
School for Feeble-minded
The School for the feeble-minded children was continued in operation during the year with Miss Mary
Bonner and Miss Anna Belle Pendleton as teachers. The
average daily attendance was 18.
The children were taught simple mental work such
as reading, writing, writing numbers, cutting, pasting
and color work, as well as industrial work such as sewing,
etc.
Improvement and Repairs
A detailed review of the repairs and improvements
to the physical plant is given in the Engineer's report.
On accout of lack of funds, much needed repair work
had to be postponed.
The Business Department
On account of the State Treasury being unable to
meet the requirements of the maintenance appropriation
and the added $250,000.00 indebtedness to maintenance
for the previous year, a very difficult year for the
operation of the Hospital has resulted. The bills for
supplies and other expenses could not be met in the usual
orderly way; thereby causing considerable embarrassment to the creditors and the Hospital, and in addition
has cost the institution considerable interest on delayed
payments. The institution was operated within the
appropriation.
The per capita cost for the year was $233.80, the
daily cost .6405 cents compared to .6289 the previous year,

24

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

an icrease of .0116 cents per day. The Steward's report
in subsequent pages has exhibits and schedules that give
an analysis of income and expenditures and other detailed
information.
Farm, Garden and Dairy
The Farm Steward's report gives information concerning the food stuffs raised during the year. The
drouth during the Summer reduced the amount of farm
and garden products that probably would have been made
if the seasons had been more favorable.
Religious Services
The religious services for patients were conducted as
formerly on Sunday afternoons at 3 P. M. by the pastors
of the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian
Churches of Milledgeville as Chaplains rotating monthly.
In addition to holding religious services, the Chaplains
conducted funeral services and performed other duties
that were required of them.
Needs of the Hospital
1. If the institution is to be orderly and successfully
operated, it is necessary that provisions be made for the
prompt monthly payment of the maintenance appropriation.
2. There is an urgent need for all unpaid special
appropriations for buildings and other improvements, so
that balance on Psychopathic Hospital (L. M.
Jones) Building may be paid, the waterworks addition
completed, as present wooden filter tubs are decaying
and filter capacity inadequate for needs of the growth of
the Hospital, and to erect new buildings to provide room
for overcrowding and new admissions.
3. A new and larger amusement hall is needed to
comply with the growth and modern requirements of the
institution.
4. A central heating and power plant.
5. Automatic Sprinkler system in certain buildings
for fire protection as recommended in previous reports.
6. Immediate steps should be taken looking to the
founding of another State hospital in another section of
the State as recommended in a previous report. It seems
that this is impertative if the mental disease problem in
the State is to be humanely and modernly provided for.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

7. Change in the law, clarifying section 3, Acts
1918, and eliminating the hinted at pay feature. Everything considered, we believe it would be wiser for the
Hospital to remain free to all resident citizens of the
State afflicted with mental disease.
8. It seems that, according to present laws, if a
person is committed to the Hospital, and even though discharged as recovered or not insane, he is still legally insane unless judicially decided otherwise, and persons
having business dealings with the person formerly committed must bear the burden of showing him sane at time
of contract. I therefore, recommend that a law be enacted
to read somewhat as follows: Whenever,a person who
has been committed to the Milledgeville State Hospital
shall be discharged therefrom, as recovered or as not
insane, he shall be presumed to have been restored to
sanity and capacity to manage his or her estate.
Conclusion
In concluding this report, I desire to express my
appreciation to the Board of Trustees for their encouragement, support and unselfish devotion to the welfare of the
Hospital. I also desire at this time to thank the officers
and employees who have been faithful in the discharge
of their duties and other friends and organizations who
have manifested an interest in the welfare of the institution.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent.

Report of Clinical Director
JANUARY 1ST,
DR.

1931

R. C. SWINT,
Superintendent,

DEAR SIR:

The following pages contain the report for the Medical Department for the year 1930.
A total of nine hundred and fify-two (952) patients
were admitted. Table No. 2 shows the actual number
classified under each group and the percentage of each.
Seven hundred and fifty-two (752) were first admissions
and two hundred (200) were readmissions. A considerable
number of the readmissions had been admitted to either
private hospitals or other state hospitals. Table No. 3 gives
actual number and percentage of each group of the first
admssions.
Ten (10) criminal patients were sent by order of
court. The charges were as follows:
Assault and battery
1
Assault with intent to kill
1
Aiding other prisoners to escape
1
Forgery
2
Larceny
1
Murder
2
Rape
1
Not given
1
One of these ten patients was found to be not insane.
Of the total of seven diagnosed as not insane two were
drug habitues, two were mentally deficient and one belonged to the psychopathic group.
The actual number of patients treated was 6349 and
was made up as follows:
Resident population at end of previous year
5291
Admitted
952
Returned (furloughed in 1929)
106
The deaths numbered four hundred and twenty-three
(423) or 6.6 per cent of those treated. The average of the
death rates for the five year period ending with and including 1929 was 6.91. The leading causes of death for
the year and the number assigned to each were as follows:
Arterio-sclerosis and cerebral hemorrhage 95, general
paralysis 50, tuberculosis 50, epilepsy 36, pellagra 27.
On an average there are from 60 to 80 patients confined
to bed on account of tuberculosis. From 90 to 100 others

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

27

are bedridden for the most part on account of arteriosclerosis and cerebral hemorrhage. In addition the infirmaries are well filled with acute medical and surgical
cases.
For purposes of comparison, the recovery rate is
estimated in the same way as in years past and consists
of the ratio of those improved and restored at the time of
furlough to the number of patients received. Of the
seven hundred and eighty-sevein (787) patients
furloughed, six hundred and forty-five (645) had either
improved or recovered giving a recovery rate of 67.7
The average of the recovery rates for the five year period
ending with and including 1929 was 59.34. The above
figures do not include twenty-nine (29) extensions of
furlough.
The discharge rate presents a different set of figures.
This is made up of the number of patients who remained
out of the institution for the length of the furlough period
which is twelve (12) months. The ratio of those discharged as recovered or improved to the number received
was 50,7.
The treatment of general paralysis by the use of
typhoid vaccine has been continued. While we have not
obtained the results reported by other institutions and
clinics we have not thought it wise to abandon its use.
Malaria has been used from time to time but its superiority
over nonspecific protein therapy has not been demonstrated in our hands. In December the serology, blood
and spinal fluid, of twenty-one (21) general paralytics
was repeated. These patients had been in the institution,
for periods varying from seven months to 17 years. The
blood and spinal fluid were completely negative in ten. In
one other the blood was two plus and the globulin test was
one plus, otherwise the examination was negative. In
still another there was no abnormality other than a two
plus spinal fluid. Three of these patients had been in the
hospital for less than ten months and as might be expected the findings were still positive throughout. Ten of
the remaining eighteen were negative throughout. All
twenty-one of these patients are still general paralytics
despite any serological changes. In at least one large
clinic in the United States patients who have no mental
symptoms but do show serological changes are classed as
asymptomatic paresis. The criterion of improvement is
the clearing up of the blood and spinal fluid, there are
obviously no mental symptoms to clear up. The patients

28

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

that we class as general paralysis are of quite a different
type and are not necessarily well though the serology may
be rendered entirely negative. Various forms of therapy
have been used in the treatment of these patients including malaria, typhoid vaccine, mercury, arsenic and
iodides.
One may, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, assert
that in recent years the amount of literature dealing with
the treatment of general paralysis is five times as great
as that dealing with the treatment of manic depressive
and dementia praecox combined. General paralytics deserve the best that can be done for them but so do those
sufferng from manic depressive and dementia praecox.
The number of general paralytics in other hospitals is
doubtless higher proportionately than in ours. The
following figures illustrate the comparison in our own
hospital:
G. P M.D.&D.P.
Percentage of all admissions 1930
7.14
54.40
Percentage of total population
Dec. 1930
2.04
57.90
Percentage of increase in population
in five years..95
76.00
The patients suffering from general paralysis have
received vigorous treatment, perhaps too vigorous in
certain instances.
From a strictly numerical and
economic point of view general paralysis in our hospital
is not in the same category with manic depressive and dementia praecox and the economic side of our work has
and will continue to play an important part. The substance of the above is that while we are obligated to give
our general paralytics the best possible treatment, other
larger groups have not been neglected. The actual
number of cases of general paralysis in the institution at
the end of the year was 128; the number of manics and
dementia praecox combined 3085.
The short courses given the new attendants in
preparation for their work has been continued. As heretofore the course consisted of quizzes, lectures and demonstrations. The course was given in March and September.
Seventy-two (72) attended. Instruction in the same line
but based on a somewhat better principal is the habit
of one of the physicians who for two years has had weekly
conferences with his head attendants. At these meetings
various problems both general and specific have been

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

29

discussed. Particular attention has been given to symptomatic treatment with some very happy results in cure
and amelioration that cannot be attributed to any
other source. This is .after all the real source of knowledge concerning the teatment of mental diseases per se.
It is intensely practical and deals directly with individuals
as well as with groups. Successful nursing of mental
diseases is bound to be more a matter of nursing indviduals than in the case of physical diseases.
Another effort not required by rule but undertaken
as extra work is that of a small group of nurses who four
years ago opened a small commissary. This has been
patronized by patients and employees. Up to the present
time more than four thousand dollars ($4000.00) in
profits have been spent for such things and occassions as
seemed wise. Hundreds of dollars have been spent for
music for dances which the patients ask for. Nine
portable victrolas with records to correspond, eight
radios, prizes and refreshments for card parties, seasonal
parties, subscription to thewty-three (23) magazines and
papers, outfits for base-ball and volley ball are some of
the things provided. During Christmas, 1930, inexpensive
but acceptable gifts were provided for more than one
thousand (l'OOO) patients from this source. These particular patients were selected because they were not expected to receive anything from home. The gifts went
to both white and colored and were not bought in a haphazard way. The wishes of the patients were ascertained
in every possible instance. The child like simplicity of
the things asked for was quite striking and shows that the
Wishes of the patients may be easily overshot. Fiftythree (53) asked for strings of beads; twelve (12) wished
for dolls; two hundred and fifteen (215) desired snuff
and tobacco and nearly all asked for candy.
Others have gone beyond the prescribed limits of
their duties to help in some way to lighten the burdens of
the patients or promote their recovery. It augurs well
for the hospital that these things are so. There can be
nothing cold blooded in such work. The personal attitude
of those in the medical service towards the patients is a
factor that cannot be put on paper nor can its effect
be tested in the laboratory but there should be just as
much satisfaction in bringing a so-called deteriorated
dementia praecox to a state of remission as doing the
same thing for a case of general paralysis and the
physician or nurse who helps to do this in the one case

30

deserves credit as well as he who brings; it about in the
other.
No machine can run forever without repairs and a
continuous supply of energy. Occupation therapy cannot successfully continue without the added energy that
comes from interest and stimulation. For this reason
this form of treatment is apt to lag. As a whole there has
been an improvement in this direction. The best results
have been obtained in those instances where patients
were carefully selected and occupation combined with
other forms of treatment such as diversion and personal
contact. The articles produced in the various departments are of considerable moment. In the female department among other things made were 26544 garments,
992 pieces of embroidery, 679 paper flowers, 506 hand
painted pieces, 276 crocheted pieces, 268 reed baskets and
30 rugs. In the white male department at the Park, 1541
articles were made and 294 repaired. Among the most
important articles made were 128 substantial rocking
and straight chairs made of oak, 369 basket containers,
14 ironing boards, 478 basket bottoms, 52 hoe handles, 63
axe handles and 41 settees. From the garden connected
with the park were gathered 6846 pounds of butter beans,
6676 pounds of tomatoes and 264 quarts of strawberries.
The dry weather cut the vegetables quite short. Among
the articles repaired were 21 chairs and 143 wheel
barrows. In the other male departments 882 chairs were
reconstructed, rebottomed or painted. From willow
grown on the premises 251 baskets were made. There
has been a marked increase in amusements and other
forms of entertainment. This is due almost entirely to
the funds derived from the commissary already mentioned.
This form of treatment has a place that is just as definite
as occupation.
The work at the State Reformatory for boys has been
temporarily discontinued. The clinics at Elberton and
Macon have been continued. In November another
monthly school clinic was opened at Athens and although
only two sessions have been held prospects for usefulness
are encouraging. At Elberton clinics were held for six
of the school months. There were 67 first visits and 50
return visits. At request the visiting psychiatrist saw
a number of frank mental cases in the vicinity. At Athens
there were 19 first visits by school children. Six adult
mental cases were also seen in the city and the vicinity.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

31

At the Macon Clinic which is held each Frday afternoon there were 484 visits, first visits 156, return visits
328. The visiting staff member has been called upon to
act in an advisory capacity to the juvenile court of that
city. He delivered five addresses before various organizations.
The technicians at the laboratory has continued to
do good work. An inspection of their report shows some
interesting things. The total procedures numbered
10,074.
The training school for nurses has been operated by
the superintendent of nurses with the co-operation of the
members of the medical staff and others.
Six classes from the colleges and universities of the
state visited the hospital for clinical instruction in abnormal psychology and allied subjects. A number of
addresses were delivered by different members of the staff
before P. T. A. associations and other civic organizations.
The calls for this kind of service seem to increase. Three
training school for nurses receive their instruction in
psychiatric nursing from a member of the staff and the
student nurses visit this hospital for clinical demonstration.
Successful administration of the medical department
depends on co-operation and due acknowledgement is
here made for such co-operation.
Respectfully,
N. P. WALKER, M. D.
Clinical Director

Two brick rooms were built onto the Twin Building
dining rooms. The dishwashing machines were moved
to these rooms, and a slop sink was installed in each room.
The old brick floor in the washroom section of the
negro laundry was torn out, and a concrete floor put down
in its place.
One of the old washing machines from the White
Laundry was overhauled, and installed in the Negro
Laundry. This machine is powered by an electric motor,
installed for the purpose. The motor and shafting was
installed with sufficient capacity to operate two more
washing machines.
It has required the whole time of one mechanic and
one helper the entire year, to keep the old machines in the
White Laundry in running condition.
The cottage occupied by Dr. Yarbrough was recovered
with red cedar shingles.
The old shingle roof on the 27th White Female Ward
was torn off, and replaced with a "5-V Crimp" galvanized
iron roof.
A room five feet square was added to the mattress
factory, and a frost-proof closet installed therein.
A new, electric powered, morticing machine was installed in the carpenter shop.
The following places were repainted during the year:
The interior of the Officers' quarters on the ground
floor of the Female Convalescent Building.
The interior of the Powell Building kitchen.
The interior and exterior of the cottage occupied by
Mr. Bivins.
The exterior of the cottage occupied by Dr. Walker.
The exterior and interior of the cottage occupied by
Miss Humphrey.
The interior of the cottage formerly occupied by
Dr. Cox.
Four Rooms of the cottage formerly occupied by
Dr. Bowen.
The hall ways at each side of the center part of the
Powell Building.
The dome on the Powell Building.
The White Female Infirmary. The back wing of the
Infirmary was also replastered before painting.
The operating room on "D" Ward.
The woodwork and the dining rooms and sitting
rooms of several of the White Female Wards.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

A concrete loading platform was built along the
entire west side of the Store House.
Two cast iron sluice gates were installed in the intake well at the water works. These gates were installed
at a lower elevation than the ones installed in 1927. The
lower elevation of the openings was made necessary by
the breaking of the dam at the old power house of the
Mill^dgeville Lighting Co.
The three-inch cast iron water main that ran from
the Colony Pond to the elevated tank at the Colony was
dug up and relaid on a direct line from the Colony Spring
to the tank.
A new Myer's "Bull Dozier" power pump was installed at the Colony Spring. This pump delivers 48
gallons of water per minute to the elevated tank at the
Colony.
Under the supervision of the Farm Steward, the
"Grade Gang" of this Department, graded all the
shoulders of the roads that were paved by the Highway
Department.
With the help of the wagons from the Farm Department, the ground around the L. M. Jones Building
was graded and sodded.
The old wooden pavilions on each side of the old
Negro Building were torn down. The west side yard of
this building was filled in and graded to a one per cent
grade. This necessitated building three brick retaining
walls across this yard.
The southwest corner of the wall enclosing the back
yard of the West Detached Building was torn down and
rebuilt on a curve. This eliminates a "Blind Corner" at
this point. This work was done by attendants and patients
from the Negro Department.
An eighteen-hole minature golf course was constructed in the south side yard of the Green Building.
On the 6th of November the dining room ,and
kitchen of the 24th White Male Ward caught on fire from
a rat nest between the studding of the wall between the
kitchen and dining room. Owing to the prompt action
of the fire department the fire was extinguished after
doing very little damage to the building.
A 40-gallon Childs Soda and Acid Chemical engine
was installed at the Colony Farm, and the supervisors
and attendants were instructed in its operation.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL

81

Four 2i-gallon Foamite Fire Extinguishers were
purchased. One was installed in the paint shop, one in
the garage and the other two were mounted on the
apparatus.
All of the electric light circuits in the Powell
Building, with the exception of the center part, were rewired, the insulation on the old wire having rotted to such
an extent that a number of grounds had developed on
the several circuits. This same work was done in the 1st
and 2nd Negro Female Wards.
In addition to the ordinary repair work required
continually throughout the institution, the carpenter
shop, the furniture repair shop, the shoe repair shop and
the broom factory have been kept busy during the year
making and repairing the various articles required in the
different departments.

Report of Steward
DR. R. C. SWINT, Superintendent,
Milledgeville State Hospital.
DEAR SIR :

I submit herein a comparative financial report of the
condition of the Milledgeville State Hospital for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1929-1930; together with comparative detailed statements of receipts and disbursements and other data for these periods.
The year of 1930, as well as that of 1929 has been
most unusual in the history of the Hospital, in that the
State's inability to promptly pay our appropriations has
seriously handicapped us in its proper operation and prevented the opening of our Psychopathic building completed early in the year.
On December 31, the State was indebted to us for
maintenance in the amount of $250,000.00 for the year
1929 and $130,000.00 for 1930; the non-payment of which
sums'continues to embarrass us, since it prevents the payment of the greater number of our supply bills since
June first.
The Hospital was operated within its appropriations
during both the year 1929 and 1930, and at the end of
1930 had excess assets of $157,619.25 an increase of
$53,466.01 over 1929. Our expenditure for maintenance
for 1930 less internal income was $1,245,912.62, and on
this basis our annual cost per patient for care and, treatment was $233.80, a slight increase over 1929 ot $4.^4,
and our per-diem $0.64,05, and increase of $0.1,16.
The State was also indebted to us on December 31, in
the sum of $597,135.57 which amount represented unpaid
balances on special appropriations $562,253!.581 of which
was for new buildings, and the balance of $34,881.99 for
the enlargement of our Water-works.
Our experditure on the New Negro and Psychopathic
buildings at the end of the year totalled the sum of
$554,875.55, including interest of $23,929.05, and that
of the Water-works $46,178.60 including interest of
$117 39
On the expenditure of $554,875.55 for new
buildings, the State has paid the sum of $487,746.42,
$205 000 00 of which was paid on an appropriation made
in 1929 of $500,000.00 for additional new buildings. The

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

balance of $67,129.13 is being carried by banks and in
open accounts, subject to eight per-cent interest. On the
expenditure of $46,178.60 for Water-works, the State has
paid the sum of $45,118.01, leaving an unpaid balance of
£1,060.59.
The following exhibits and schedules set forth the
condition of all accounts in detail, and are offered in
support of the above statements.

Vouchers have been drawn throughout the year in
the payment of all accounts promptly upon their due
dates, but because of a lack of funds were held in the
office from month to month, and on December 31,
amounted to $260,800.93 for maintenance alone.
All paid vouchers and all bills for purchases made
during the year, are regularly filed and of record in this
office.
