Tty Inman This lit the third of a series of v Articles that will appear each week in this newspaper dealing with Ohio’s proble mof increasing insanity. These articles arc spon­ sored by the Ohio Association for tho Welfare of the Mentally Sick,, which haa but one objective, namely, more scientific and more humane treatment of mentally sick patients in state hospitals and the rapid rehabilitation of these unfortunates.

Following the work, of Pincl in France ami Tuke in England, we see the plight Of the mentally sick im­ proved, so far as actually being put to death was concerned, but made mote severe in some instances, be­ cause now they were placed in alma- houses and jails where ihe confine­ ment caused them to be jeered at and otherwise degraded Ly the rabble, who would twit, tease and torment in very conceivable way. Insane pern sons were confined with murderers ami criminals o f every description, If the insane refused to carry out an order by illiterate guards they were jumped upon and beaten into insensibility, THE FIRST INSTITUTION The first religious sect to take cog­ nisance whatsover o f the plight c f these most miserable people were the Quakers in Philadelphia, Tho in stitotion in Philadelphia was the first in the United States to be erected for the sympathetic care of Insane per son*. ■ The first state Institution for the' cave of the mentally aide wea erected In Williamsburg, Va., copying after the work done in Philadelphia by tho tjuakera, D O R O T H Y D H P S W 0 R 1 C In the year IROh there! waa bom In MewEngland a woman, who was- even tualiy to mold publio opinion tn fas* or 0 * a much m m bumiftltarium at­ titude toward the mentally sick. Beginning her work in 1840, Dote* thy Lynn Dix accomplished in 20 years more than had ever been accom­ plished in this field. During those 20 years she labored almost constantly an behalf o f the welfare of tho insane. She tvas adroit, she was capable, she was’ business-like. Ae new institu­ tions were built she looked upon them as her children. The first was erected in Trenton, N. J. 'Hie second only a few months later, in Harrisburg, Pa. In her memoirs she referred to them as “nearly being twins.” Altogether during these 20 ycaro rise was able to influence the leglgriuturc^ &f 23 states to do their duty in providing the refuge for tho mentally rich. This1great woman died under tho sheltering roof of the t o t institution she caused to bo brought into ex­ istence, unheralded and unsung, NOT A DISGRACE Miss Dix believed thattho mentally sick were as much “ God’s people?’ as are those, who arc- physically akk. She appreciated that thby were hu­ man. that they were ill and that they needed sympathetic, kindly treat­ ment at all limes, One can more readily appreciate tho fullest meaning behind this w<> man’s work in reviewing just one statement she made in ew? e l tie legislatures hi a province of Gas*. . da in 1840, as follows: “ It Is time that people should have learned that to bo insane is not to feu disgraced, that insanity is r,&i tu he linked with crime, and that a vast majority of the cases of -mental richness Is due to mere bodily ills,” The Dhfo Association fer the Whl- fare o f the Mentally Sick Is endowed largely with that groat spirit which was first manifest In Dorothy tymr Dlx, This ftisocktfca Is attempting to carry eat «M amplify D mi w»tk ,yfhkh Dorothy Lvim Iris started t ie be ConlMded Most Week) »
