THE DAILY NEWS PROVIDE FOR - DEFECTIVE AND THE CRIMINAL Policy to be Adopted by Provincial Government Regarding Unfortunates. NEW HOMES TO BE BUILT AT ESSONDALE VICTORIA, Nov. 20,—Definite co-ordination of departmental policy in the matter of corrective and curative establishments for British Columbia's boys is now announced by the Oliver Govern- ment. For some time past the care of the mentally defective and the incorrigible boy has engaged the attention of the responsible departments. As a result of their collaboration the Hon. J. D. Me- Lean, Minister of Education and Provincial Secretary, and the Hon. J. W. deB. Farris, Attorney Gen- eral and Minister of Labor, have reached a decision to erect an in- Stitution for the exclusive care of the mentally defective boys on government property at Esson- dale. Its design will follow the unit plan with accommodation for 150 children, while provision for their segregation into classes adapted to the mental capacity of each will be included. Likewise, in-view of the unsatisfactory state of the present buildings now do- ing duty as the Boys’ Industrial School at Point Grey a new in- stitution on the cottage home sys- tem will transfer the care of the incorrigible boys to Essondale. The result of the joint policy of the two departments will be the complete isolation of the mentally defective and the conse- quent removal of alf disadvant- ages attendant upon indiscrimin- ate and often unwitting housing together of both the normal sub- ject and his less fortunate broth- er, as well as the avoidance of expensive dual management. For it must be understood that, al- though the two institutions will be distinct and separate indi- vidual units, by their concentra- tion at Essondale it will be prac- ticable to utilize the same medi- cal staff, the same farm staff and the same supervisory machinery for both institutions. In_ brief, the new arrangement is fully ex- pected to yield higher etticiency and tend to greater economy, while, judged solely from the financial standpoint, the necessity for progressive preventive mea- sures is best understood when it is realized that this province pays annually $600,000 for the care ol its insane population. It is proposed that one of th: units shall be set apart from tie rest for the use of the mentally sound but incorrigible boys at present housed in the Industrial School at Point Grey. Arrangc- ments will be of such a nature, however, as to prohibit associa tion between the incorrigible and the mentally defective, the latter being placed in his proper grade in the new institution. It should be noted, too, that for the time being the new institution will concern itself with male subnor- mals, only as the Government considers the female problem well provided for, by the Girl's dn- dustrial School at Vancouver. One of the later developments of the plan is the attachment ofa competent medical man to one of the hospitals of the Province through whose hends would pass all mentally deficient suspects, juvenile and adult, Many Neglected Cases. In explanation of this new pro- gram both Ministers remind the people of the Province that for many years in British Columbia there has been a well defined sen- timent in favor of a policy that would lend itself to the more !n telligent care and edeation of the mentally defe@tive child, It is a well known fact, moreover, that there ane probably several hun- dreds of these children in Brit ish Columbia to day, who are ex- posed to the consequences atten- indifference to th@ir condition. Thus it 1s contended by the Oliver Government that these unfortunates can be cared fon and rescued trom useless lives; for the melancholy fact re mains that it is very largely from the ranks of such children that the inmates of jails, asylums and refuge home for unmarried moth ens are recruited, “Appreciating the seriousness of this situation from the economic as well as from the essentially financial standpoint, Dr, Maclean Dr, Clarke, professor of dant upon invited mental hygiene at Toronto Uni. versity, to visit the province, in- vestigate the mental condition of inmates in the various institutes, and report his findings. This Dr. Clarke did during the summer months and his conclusions were of such an enlightening, if start- ling, character that immediate ac- tion was decided upon. Isolating the Defective. Under the system which is now to be replaced children of all types are indiscriminately congregated without any special regard for their mental condition. It is a state of affairs, of course, very largely imposed by the somewhat tardy evolution of mental hygiene as far as this province is econ- cerned, hindered, it is true, by the more or less widespread indiffer- nothing to them. On the other hand many of them can be taught to do useful mechanical work. Moreover, until a few months ago no institution in this province possessed facilities to care for the imbecile. An attempt was made at the mental hospital at Essondale to segregate the un- fortunate youngster from the in- sane adult. Lack of acecommoda~ tion, however, prevented any ma- terial pnogress. During last sum- mer a cottage capable of accom- modating seventy-five children was erected and at the present {continued on Page Four.
