After closely observing the operations of the institution and their results, the Legislature, in 1864, provided for the permanent establish- ment of the institution, authorizing buildings upon a suitable site for the accommodation of two hundred pupils. This provision was made during the strenuous days of the Civil War, and was a strong endorsement of the value of the institution, as well as a valued acknowledgment of the performance of duty under the trying conditions of the war. The new buildings were occupied in August, 1868, the number of inmates soon reaching three hundred. The practical value of the institution being demonstrated, additions were made, from year to year, until the 18th of November, 1881, when over six hundred children were accommodated,

and when the main buildings were destroyed by fire, happily, without loss of life, or even injury, to any of the inmates, officers or employes. So anxious were parents and guardians that their children and wards should not lose any of the benefits of the institution, that only one hundred of the inmates could be sent to their homes, the balance being crowded into the buildings that escaped destruction. The operations of the institution were conducted, during the three years of rebuilding, at great disad- vantage, from want of room and facilities for the proper care and train- ing of the inmates. This was relieved by the occupation of the new buildings in 1884. In this case, fireproof buildings were constructed on the sites of those destroyed by fire, and fireproof outside stairways provided for all buildings that escaped destruction. Other buildings have been added since 1884, until the number accommodated in 1900 was 1,100, when the Legislature, recognizing the duty of providing against the in- crease of this unfortunate class, by placing them under such restrictions as will prevent them multiplying their kind, provided for a permanent home, where the use of such industrial power as they possess may be exercised in their own support. Authority was given to purchase a farm, not to exceed 1,500 nor less than 1,000 acres in extent, where they are to be kept through life, thus lessening the increase from'that source. About 1,200 acres have been secured, where the males of this class will be pro- vided with a home and such employment as will come within the range of their capacities. The employment will be mainly such as furnished by the farm, gardening, stock raising and horticultural pursuits. The females are to be provided for at the home institution, where they can be better protected, as well as usefully employed in domestic occupations. Buildings are now being constructed to accommodate about four hun- dred of each sex of the Custodial Class, and, when completed, will restore the old department to its original purpose and duties-"to furnish special means of improvement to that portion of our youth who are so deficient in mind, or have such marked peculiarities and eccentricities of intellect as to deprive them of the benefits of other educational institutions and ordinary methods of instruction."

THE HOSPITAL FOR EPILEPTICS.
T HE Ohio Hospital for Epileptics at Gallipolis is the pioneer of its kind in the United States. The problem of providing proper ac- commodations for epileptics, especially for those with unsound or defective minds, has engrossed the attention of persons interested in nervous and mental diseases for many years. In Ohio, as far back as 1879, a bill for the establishment of a separate institution for their ac- commodation and treatment almost became a law, passing one branch of the Legislature. Not, however, until 1890 was a law enacted provid- ing for the establishment of a colony for epileptics and epileptic insane. All epileptics resident in Ohio are eligible for admission to this institu- tion, up to the measure of its capacity, each county being entitled to a number proportionate to its population. No discrimination is made on account of mental condition, age or sex.
The buildings, as originally planned, consisted of stone cottages having a capacity of fifty beds each, located symmetrically about a group of executive buildings and connected by tunnels with a central power station, which was to furnish heat and light for all; and a central kitchen and bakery, flanked by two congregate dining rooms, one for each sex. The whole group, with estimated accommodations for one thousand patients, was planned so compactly as to cover scarcely more than twenty- five acres, leaving the balance of one hundred acres of the original tract for ornamentation and gardens. The wisdom of this plan was seriously questioned, and subsequent experience and events have led to an entire modification of it, so far as practicable. Of the original thirty-six build- ings, only thirteen have been built as designed. The location and design of six others was materially changed. One hundred and twenty-five ad- clitional acres of land were purchased, and a cottage for the insane con- structed at a distance of one-third mile from the original group. Other buildings, projected for the future, are to be much farther away, their precise location depending upon the possibilities in the selection and purchase of land, which may or may not adjoin the tract now owned by the State.
Another tract of one hundred and ten acres of farm land has been purchased, on which a group of cottages will be erected, and in which the husbandmen among the male patients will be accommodated. This land adjoins the sewage disposal beds of the hospital, and it is intended to utilize the sewage for fertilizing the farm. Recently (1904) another one hundred acres of Ohio River bottom land has been acquired, which
(894)
895

The Hospital for Epileptics.
brings the institution to an acreage of five hundred and fifty. It is pur- posed to expand the institution in the future by erecting small, home- like cottages for small and selected groups of patients, leaving the large central cottages with their common kitchen and congregate dining rooms for the accommodation of more advanced cases of epilepsy and for the infirmary class of inmates. A new style of architecture has been decided upon, by which it is believed the monotony of the present symmetrical groups of large stone cottages can be relieved.
A board of construction was appointed in 1890, which consisted of James E. Neal, of Hamilton; John L. Vance, of Gallipolis; George H. Bunnell, of Sidney; Lewis Slusser, of Canton.
The colony was opened for the reception of patients November, 1893. Twelve residence cottages with accommodations for 40 to 80 inmates each, and one combined laundry and cottage with room for 70 patients comprise the central group. A building for infirm women with room for 80 beds has recently been opened. The advanced insane epileptics are cared for in a large 200-inmate building about one-third of a mile from the central group. In process of completion (1904) there are five small, artistic, homelike houses comprising the new Male Colonists' Group, with quarters for 15 to 40 patients each, every house being inde- pendent so far as heating facilities, dining room and kitchen are con- cerned. A Farm House for 40 men has been erected in a suitable spot in the midst of the 200 acres of river bottom farm; and a 40-inmate cottage for girls is also nearly ready for occupancy. When all the build- ings now under way shall have been completed, the institution will have accommodations for 1,200 patients. Besides the cottages, the hospital comprises one schoolhouse; two industrial buildings, each containing eight large, well lighted and well ventilated rooms, accommodating twenty-five patients in many of the manual industries followed; one kitchen and bakery building; one ice machine and cold storage building, with a capacity of eighteen tons daily; two large congregate dining- rooms; one boiler, power and electric light station; one waterworks building, and one administration building. The cost of the buildings up to the time when those under way shall have been completed, will be $605,000.
A pathological laboratory in which researches into the nature, cause and prevention of epilepsy are carried forward, has been a feature of this institution for the past eight years. Through the scientific studies pur- sued in this laboratory and published to the medical profession the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics has achieved international fame. The medical profession of Ohio, and of the United States, is deeply interested in seeing this important work encouraged and properly supported, since it is realized that by this method alone can the mysteries as to the nature,

cause, treatment and prevention of epilepsy be solved. The investiga- tions pursued by the scientific staff in this laboratory have already dis- closed some very important facts relative to the cause and prevention of epilepsy.
Many of the patients came from almshouses, many from the lower walks of life, and were uncouth in their manners and dress, filthy in their habits, and rude in their conversation. The improvements most noticed by visitors has been the wonderful change in their deportment. The results of the colony regime and treatment as shown by the recovery of suitable cases have been very gratifying. Especially good results have been attained with cases of recent epilepsy, particularly among the children. Hygienic and dietary measures with a regulation of the habits are em- ployed, and strictly medicinal treatment is assigned to a secondary place. The education of the children and youth is carefully looked after in the excellent schools of the colony.

THE BOYS' INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
T HE Boys' Industrial School is Ohio's reformatory for juvenile male offenders. It is six miles south of Lancaster, Fairfield County, on the Hocking hills. The State owns 1,210 acres of land in this picturesque region, and the boys are taught agriculture and horticulture to the extent of producing all the vegetables and fruit that the institution consumes. The institution is organized on the cottage or segregate sys- tem, is not surrounded by walls, and is entirely free from bolts, bars or other suggestions ofirestraint. It was the first penal institution in Amer- ica to make the "open system" experiment, and so successfully was it operated that twenty-eight states have used the Lancaster school as a model. There are now 920 boys confined in the school for offenses against the statutes. These boys range in age from 10 to 21 years and are serving indeterminate sentences. When received at the School they are charged with demerits corresponding in number to the nature of the crime. These demerits must be canceled by exemplary deportment in school and shop, before release. When released, a boy is on parole and can be returned for misconduct at any time before he reaches his majority.
The boys are required to attend school one-half of each day, and are in shop or on the farm the other half. There are 'many trades schools where the boys are taught useful mechanical knowledge and at the same time contribute to the comfort and support of their fellows. Chief among these trades are blacksmithing, floriculture, tailoring, baking, printing, carpentering, telegraphy, stenography, brickmaking, shoemaking, dairy- ing, cooking, etc. They also operate the steam, cold storage ,and electric plants, the barn, laundry and poultry plant. A boy band of forty-two pieces is maintained, and the school is organized into a regiment of three battalions, under instructions of a competent military man. Music and physical culture are also features of the training.

The population of the School at this time is 1,035 boys. Boys are received from Juvenile and Probate, and some few from Federal courts.
The institution is located six miles south of Lancaster at the termini of the Fairfield traction line. There are 1,231 acres of land in the farm, and the institution is on the cottage plan. Boys are sent to school and every effort is made to have them go out from here and become useful members of society.
THE GIRLS' INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
LOCATION.
T HE home is situated ten miles southwest of Delaware, with which it is connected by good pikes and long distance telephone. It is four and one-half miles from Hyatts, six from Powell on the Columbus, Hocking Valley and Toledo Railroad; and eight miles from Arnold on the Toledo division of the Ohio Central Lines. The two latter stations are connected with the home by telephone, and all are easily ac- cessible at all seasons of the year because of the excellent pikes.
FARM.
The farm comprises one hundred and eighty-nine acres on the west bank of the Scioto River. It is beautifully situated in an unusually healthful location. The grounds around the buildings are adorned with shade trees, a large portion of which are of the original growth.
The celebrated White Sulphur Spring furnishes an abundant sup- ply of excellent water which is used for domestic purposes. 11,000 gal- lons of water per hour flow constantly from a vein more than one hun- dred feet below the marble basin from which it overflows.
-
BUILDINGS.
The buildings consist of the Administration, or Central Building, in which reside the superintendent and family, the clerk, director of music, superintendent of schools, assistant matron and a housekeeper; eight cottages, a school building, and a hospital. The latter is a valuable ac- quisition to the institution, furnishing commodious quarters for all hospital purposes and comple isolation for inmates affected with contagious diseases. In each cottage an assistant matron, teacher and housekeeper, with from thirty-five to fifty inmates, reside.

THE OHIO PENITENTIARY.
T HE Ohio Penitentiary covers 26 acres within the walls. About two acres outside the prison proper are occupied by offices, the Deputy Warden's residence, store rooms, barn and stables. The prison itself is walled on three sides, the fourth being wholly absorbed by cell houses, offices and the warden's home. This side presents an impos- ing front, about 800 feet in length, on Spring street, facing the Scioto River, with the street and outer buildings between it and that stream, and a wide fringe of green lawn before it that in summer is beautified by parterres of flowers and shaded by fine trees. The cell houses and offices form a continuous building from the southeast to the southwest gate, in which are more than 1,600 cells, about 600 of these being pro- vided with beds for two inmates, the remainder being too small to receive more than one each. The female department, which abuts on the southeast gate, is somewhat advanced toward the street beyond the frontal line of the main prison, and reaches to the public sidewalk. It contains 46 cells.
