Conditions Cited.

His topic was "Fair and Unfair Atacks on our State Psychiatric Institutions" Included among his report on conditions needing improvement were the following: 1, At the present time the hos pitals have to handle 8500 patients with facilities set up for 6750 persons. 2. There is only one psychiatrist for every 350 patients, when the recommended ratio in one for every 75 patients. There are 56 graduate nurses, when there should be 320, and there are 451 attendants when there should be 1000. 3.

The state should construct a separate institution for elderly and senile persons, so that such persons will not have to be accommodated at mental hospitals. He said admissions to the hospitals were increasing by 600 every year. "This does not mean that mental cases are increasing," he explained. "It means that we are detecting more and more cases among the general population."
