An investigation at once will be made by Commissioner Delaney to ascertain whether the animals were suffering from tuberculosis when they were purchased or whether the disease developed among them after they became the property of the institution. The State Hospital Commission, which is responsible for the management of the State Hospitals for the Insane , has as yet made no official answer to the accusations contained in the reports of Inspectors of the Department of Efficiency and Economy.

It was learned to-day, however, that when an inspection of the food supply at the various institutions was made some weeks ago by experts from the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture , the Hospital Commission started to make some inquiries about conditions at the fourteen institutions under its supervision.

Inspector Phillips then urged the commission to have an inquiry made by two Federal Inspectors, and his advice was followed. The reports of these inspectors have been in the hands of the State Hospital Commission since early in April, but have not been made pubic. The inspectors reported deplorable conditions at nearly every institution they visited. At the Utica State Hospital the Federal inspectors were compelled to order the destruction of a large quantity of lard used in the making of bread because it was rancid. They found pounds of pork and seven carcasses of mutton which were unfit for food.

After discovering that forty dozen of eggs out of a total supply of seventy-five dozen were decayed, they were informed by the kitchen employes that it had been the practice to feed the patients with such eggs. At the Buffalo State Hospital the Inspectors ordered the destruction of meat unfit for human consumption; at Central Islip they condemned eggs and pounds of beef; at Willard a barrel of fat, intended, it was asserted, for cooking purposes, was condemned.

Similar conditions were reported at the Binghamton State Hospital. At the Rochester State Hospital the inspectors ordered the entire supply of eggs on hand, dozen, destroyed as unfit for food. A supply of bacon and beef in the storeroom, the inspectors said, should not be used for food. The investigation of the Efficiency and Economy Department thus far has been confined to the mechanical equipment of the hospital, but Federal Inspectors have made inquiries regarding the food.

Employes said that the grade of eggs furnished to the institution was extremely poor. The Federal Inspectors found pounds of moldy bacon and two tubs of rancid lard. An engineer employed by the Department of Efficiency and Economy found the floors and ceilings of the institution in a bad and dangerous condition. The menace to the inmates in case of fire, the engineer said, was very grave, owing to a defective fire alarm system and improperly marked stairways and exits.

Risen from the Dead: If I had to guess, I would think deceased patients of the facility were buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery. Bird, in behalf of the corporation, procured the exchange of those two lots for one situated on higher ground; being lot No.

In this little spot of ground have been doubtless laid without a pitying eye to weep over their wreck, or a friendly hand to raise a tablet to their memory, as noble persons as have ever existed; but poverty and misfortune blighted their prospects, and they became dependents on the bounty of their fellow-creatures.

Many a time have I pondered over the unmarked hillocks here and thought what tales could be revealed were the history of the unknown and unnoted dead under my feet made up into a living record. But they were not permitted to rest in peace. The City of Buffalo a few years since fenced in the lot, and desecrated the spot by using it as a public pound.

Could no other vacant place be found, that even a pauper might not be allowed to rest here without having his last hold on earth made the stamping place for vagrant cattle? The main lot was used for years by the inhabitants of Black Rock; but burials having been discontinued for some time, the land was conveyed to that noble institution the Charity Foundation of the Episcopal Church. As in the Franklin Square and North Street Public Cemeteries there were no private lots here, but places were assigned by the authorities.

When the Forest Lawn Cemetery was established, in , many families bought lots and removed their dead from this ground. Since then, in grading Rogers street many graves were dug up, and the bones collected and removed to Forest Lawn. More still remain which should be properly taken care of. Although I ever disapprove of the practice of our city rulers in disturbing and removing the bones from our old burying grounds, yet in this case it seems to be a matter of public necessity; and as part have been removed they may as well all be. One Man Is Remembered! Thirty New York State Institutions were subject to the statute.

One man and forty-one women were sterilized. It is interesting to read the opinions of the superintendents of the custodial institutions from which sterilization was tested or performed: To read the opinions in their entirety, click on the RED link below. Helen Martin Pitcher, Present status January 1, Repealed , after having been declared unconstitutional by the lower courts in Thirty 30 state institutions were subject to the act before its repeal; they performed eugenical sterilizing operations as follows:.

The patient was a youth twenty years of age, who was suffering from tubercular testicles.

Buffalo State Hospital a Dr. He stated also that in reference to the medical value to the institution: In each one of the cases we obtained the written consent of the relatives, which was filed in the case before such an operation was undertaken. We have always felt that indiscriminate sterilization among the insane was not indicated, but believe very strongly in it, and think it is of very great value in decreasing the number of people who would be born with a bad heredity, and also in saving the strength of women, for instance: If continued child-bearing would weaken the system, and in that way increase the tendency to mental breakdown.

Before operating we obtain and file the written consent of husband, parent or guardian. Several defectives of bad moral tendencies were sterilized before they were allowed to go on parole, also a number of insane women with good intelligence and who had repeated attacks of insanity during pregnancy or the puerperium. The sterilization act is not in force in New York State. The hospital assumes the responsibility. Gowanda State Hospital, Collins.

If enforced, after amendment, its eugenical value would be greater than any law of recent years which applies to institutions. Those cases which became insane on account of child-bearing or have a bad heredity but who could remain outside if not exposed to frequent child-bearing, are selected for sterilization and written consent is obtained from the husband or legal guardian, or nearest relative, the whole process and reasons therefor having been thoroughly explained.

The public should be shown that insane, epileptics, feeble-minded and criminals have no right to procreate, from an economic standpoint as well as from the point of eugenics. The insane, feeble-minded, epileptics and criminals of child-bearing age should be sterilized. The mid-nineteenth century was the dawn of scientific thought and research concerning evolution and the human condition.

Three men made an influential mark in history with their provocative theories which are still debated today. In other words, only certain members of society should be allowed to procreate. Eugenics began on March 9, , with Indiana being the first state to enact a law, and ended on December 13, , with Oregon proving the law unconstitutional. Both were for the care of the mentally ill and were located in Erie County, New York.

Mickle or Mickie , convict; ordered vasectomy, Elko County. Jacob Cline , convict; ordered sterilization, Oregon State Penitentiary. It represents the highest form of patriotism and humanitarianism, while at the same time it offers immediate advantages to ourselves and to our children. By eugenic measures, for instance, our burden of taxes can be reduced by decreasing the number of degenerates, delinquents and defectives supported in public institutions; such measures will also increase safeguards against crimes committed against our persons or our property.

America, in particular, needs to protect herself against indiscriminate immigration, criminal degenerates, and race suicide. The success of democracy depends upon the quality of its individual elements. If in these elements the racial values are high, government will be equal to all the economic, educational, religious and scientific demands of the times. If, on the contrary, there is a constant and progressive racial degeneracy, it is only a question of time when popular self-government will be impossible, and will be succeeded by chaos, and finally a dictatorship.

Laughlin is well qualified for the work he has undertaken. For twelve years he has been in immediate charge of the Eugenics Record Office founded in by Mrs. There he is engaged in organizing and conducting eugenical investigations. As a product of scientific research the book will have permanent value.

The importance and usefulness of the work is not to be gauged by the extent of its circulation. Enough copies will be published to reach the leaders of the medical, legal and clerical professions, the press and members of legislative bodies. The Municipal Court of Chicago, which has for years made an intensive study of crime prevention, punishment and suppression, feels privileged to be able to make another notable contribution in this field.

The courts have special functions to perform in the suppression of crime. The first of these is to enforce the laws impartially and justly. Incidental to this duty much original information comes to the judges of our courts, and it has been the policy of the Municipal Court to make public such incidental information, as the relationship between degeneracy and crime and their relationship to heredity, through the reports of its Psychopathic Laboratory.

In the performance of this duty the Municipal Court of Chicago has pointed out the need of the permanent segregation of incorrigible defectives, which serves three purposes: First, the protection of society from the individual offender; second, the protection of the individual from himself, and, third, the restriction of propagation of the defective type due to heredity. The alternative to segregation is to continue to do what we have been doing, that is, incarcerate the offender for a time, more or less brief, and then permit him freedom to repeat his offense, and to propagate his kind.

Segregation is necessary, even though sterilization were invoked. Sterilization protects future generations, while segregation safeguards the present as well. The segregation of incorrigible defectives on farm colonies as a measure of crime prevention is urgently needed in the State of Illinois. However, in a number of states, fifteen up to the present time, experiments have been made with sterilization.

The two theories of segregation and sterilization are not antagonistic, but both may be invoked. With the intention of covering every phase of crime prevention, the Municipal Court of Chicago publishes this work as an important contribution to that cause. Harry Olson, Chief Justice.

Preface This volume is intended primarily for practical use. It is designed to be of particular service to four classes of persons: The facts here reported have been secured, and the analyses and principles here given have been worked out during the past ten years.
