Synopsis
Excerpt from Eleventh Annual Report of the Trustees of the Worcester Insane Asylum at Worcester: For the Year Ending September 30, 1888
During the past year the affairs of the asylum have been successfully and economically managed by the Superintend ent, Dr. Quinby, and by his assistants. No change has taken place in the staff of the asylum.
The changes in the structure of the asylum buildings have been continued through the year just past, but of course they are not yet complete. Such changes must be very considerable, when it is proposed to treat, in an asylum built fifty-five years ago, the insane patients of to-day. Any one who passes at once from the present bright and cheerful wards to the old strong-rooms of the asylum, now used as storage cellars, - dark, damp and half under ground, - will realize how the present treatment of the insane differs from the most humane and enlightened treat ment of half a century ago. In making these changes, we believe that Dr. Quinby has been singularly successful. He has employed upon the work a considerable number of the male patients, and so has required very little outside help, while the employment thus furnished to' the patients has been of great value in improving their condition.
