Psychiatric hospitals.

Tabulations covering twenty years of growth of institutions under State Hospital Commission, together with detailed statistics on population, admissions and discharges during four years from 1931 through 1934. Prepared by State Welfare Department, 1935.

From the Foreword: "Since 1915 there have been no periodic reports published covering the details of the operation of the several state hospitals which are providing care and treatment for the mentally ill of this state.

Since 1915 there have been no periodic reports published
covering the details of the operation of the several state
hospitals which are providing care and treatment for the mentally ill of this state. Special reports have been published
in this interval, one by Barrett in 1927, being a survey of
mental diseases in the different hospitals, and one by Haskell
in 1928, pointing out the needs to properly care for the mentally sick in Michigan.
In 1931 the State Hospital Commission inaugurated the
plan of collecting and compiling detailed information relating
to each patient in the various state hospitals on a type of
punched card for use in a mechaiical tabulator. The work of
collection and recording these data has been going on in the
State Welfare Department during the past four years, and the
resulting accumulation of records, relating to the state hospital population, is now more extensive and varied than has hitherto been available.
The accompanying report has been prepared for the purpose
of indicating the development that has taken place since the
year 1915 in the activities of these institutions, now under
the State Hospital Commission, showing increases in population,
investments and expenditures. Also this report provides detailed studies of admissions, deaths and discharges of patients over
the four year period from 1931 to 1934 inclusive. The work of
preparing and compiling tabulations included in this report has
been directed by Gilbert !<. Haigh, Statistician for the State
Welfare Department, under the guidance and supervision of the
Statistical Committee of the State Association of Medical Superintendents.

The various institutions or mental hospitals under the State
Hospital Commission, which are included in the following tabulations
and within the scope of this report, may be separately grouped and
individually noted as follows:
The care and treatment of civil insane is provided in the state
hospitals at Kalamazoo, Pontiac, Traverse City, Newberry, and Ypsilanti.
In addition to these institutions, Wayne County provides similar care
in the hospital at Eloise and all patients remaining there continuously
in excess of one year, become state patients and are treated there at
state expense. The Psychopathic Hospital at Ann Arbor admits patients
committed for observation, as well as temporary commitments aid some
by voluntary admission. The proportion of these not actually discharged
after a limited period of stay at this hospital, are definitely committed and transferred to one of the state hospitals for more permanent
care and treatment. The record of admissions and discharges at the
Psychopathic Hospital are included for convenience with those for the
regular state hospitals, although the former institution is administered
by the regents of the University of Michigan instead of the State Hospital Commission. It is noted that the conditions of entrance and discharge of patients, together with the resulting high turn-over at Psychopathic Hospital, present a situation distinctly different from the
remaining institutions considered in this report, and proper allowance
will be made in making comparisons.
The state hospital at Ionia is for the dangerous and criminal insane, with its population containing a large proportion of male patients
and being more definitely fixed than is the case with the civil insane.
Care and treatment is provided by the state for mental defectives
in the Home and Training School, located at Lapeer. The Home and Training School for Wayne County is located at Northville, having been opened in 1927.
The population of this latter institution is included in
this report. Those inmates at the Northville school without reimbursement, who have remained there over a year, become state wards and their
maintenance is paid Tor by the state.
The Farm Colony, located at Wahjamega, provides care and treatment
for epileptics. Details covering the population of this institution
are contained in a later portion of this report.
The first series of tables in this report Indicate the growth of
population with admissions and discharges over a twenty year period
from 1915 to-date. The remaining tables include analytical studies of
psychoses of patients with relation to their age, sex, nativity, etc.,
as given in the series of years from 1931 to 1934 inclusive.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

DEPORTATION AND REPATRIATION OP PATIENTS
The State Welfare Department, working in conjunction with the
U. S. Immigration Service, as well as other states, has brought about
the deportation of some patients and repatriation of others, amounting
to a total of 92 for the twelve month period ending November 1, 1935.
Sixty-six of these were deported and four repatriated to their
native country, while twenty-two were transferred to other states in
which they had legal residence. The following list Indicates the institutions from which these patients were removed:

OUT PATIENT CLINICS
Members of the staffs of the different state hospitals have been
conducting mental hygiene clinics in different cities throughout the
state for some time past. These clinics are for the purpose of seeing
community cases, both children and adults, as well as paroled and discharged cases from the individual hospitals. This out-patient service
was started in the City of Kalamazoo in 1916 by members of the staff
from Kalamazoo State Hospital.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1935, there were held 456
of these clinics in thirty-one different cities and communities throughout the state in which a total of 5280 cases were examined, of which
3406 were new cases and 1874 were either paroled or discharged patients
from the hospitals, or cases previously examined at former clinics.

1 - INSTITUTION INVENTORIES AND PROPERTIES

This table gives a general statement of the Institutions
under the direction of the State Hospital Commission as of June 30,
1935, or at the close of the fiscal year.
In separate columns are shown in each case the investments
in real estate and buildings as a total, and also the total for personal property items, including stock, machinery, equipment, furnishings, and supplies. The values, as given for real estate and buildings, are derived largely from the original investment figures, and
are not comparable as they do not indicate present replacement values.
As to personal property totals the Inventory values as given
conform more closely to present values, as these items are naturally
being replaced at more frequent intervals.
In the case of the Mt. Pleasant branch of the Lapeer Home
and Training School, which property was recently acquired from the
United States Department of Interior, the figures given are for the
value of all usable properties in the original inventory by the
Federal government.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

II a - b - o - INSTITUTION EXPENDITURES

These three tables Indicate the yearly expenditure for each
of the three groups of institutions over the 21 year period from
1915 to 1955, as shown by the annual reports of the Auditor General,
covering all vouchers paid during each fiscal year. These expenditures, as well as receipt shown later, are all of necessity based on
the fiscal year ending June 30th.
Table Ila covers these expenditures for the seven mental
hospitals noted in detail In Table I. The column for Operation and
Maintenance includes personal service, supplies and contractual service, as well as maintenance of buildings and equipment. Also included are the amounts paid annually to Wayne County for maintenance
of state patients at Eloise Hospital, a Wayne County Institution.
In the last column is indicated the proportional annual expenditure
for institution operation and maintenance for each resident patient,
based on the institution populations of June 30th of each year.
Under additions and improvements are shown amounts spent annually for added capital outlay, Including new buildings and equipment. The large expenditures shown from 1930 to 1933 cover erection
of the Ypsilanti Hospital and additions to Ionia, Traverse City,
and Newberry Hospitals.
Tables lib and lie similarly cover amounts expended over the
21 year period by the Home and Training Schools and the Epileptic
Colony. In table lib are included costs for maintaining each year
the total number of state patients at the training school built by
Wayne County at Northvllle and first occupied In 1926.
Increased expenditures for Additions and Improvements are
shown from 1922 to 1925 and in 1930 and 1931, when additional cottages
and colony buildings were erected at the Home and Training School at
Lapeer.
In table lie it will be noted that up to 1920 and In 1932 a
large portion of the total expenditure was required for erecting additional buildings at the Colony. This institution was first opened
in 1914.

REIMBURSEMENTS BY PATIENT GUARDIANS AND ESTATES FOR MAINTENANCE
The amounts which have been received annually for the past 21 years from the above sources for the
maintenance of patients in these institutions are noted in this table.
In 1920 the change which centralized accounts at Lansing, provided better records and means of collecting these amounts as evidenced by the increased totals from that date. The large total for Epileptic
Colony given in 1923, results from an accumulation of amounts collected that year which were due from previous years.
These figures are taken from the annual reports of the Auditor General which are based on the fiscal
year ending June 30th.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

IV- EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL TEAR 1934 - 1935

The detail of the year's expenditures by individual institutions is given in this table. The additional expense of having
Wayne County maintain state mental patients at Eloise and mental defectives at Northville is shown in amounts under separate items.
The total expenditure by the state for all patients in mental
hospitals for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1935 was $3,756,421.86,
and for those in schools for mental defectives during the same period
was $1,171,970.40.
In the last column are shown the average amounts expended by
each institution for the maintenance of each patient during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1935. These figures are based on the average residence population for the year and the total operating expense, not including capital outlay for additions and improvements.

V

- POPULATION OF MENTAL HOSPITALS

This table gives the total number of patients being cared for
in mental hospitals in the state for the past twenty years, but does
not include those on parole. In addition to the patients in the
seven mental hospitals noted in Table IV, all patients in Wayne
County Hospital at Eloise are included. Those being cared for as
mental defectives and epileptics are in separate institutions and
are covered in detail in a later portion of this report.
Populations given are as taken June 30th of each year from
institution records from 1915 to 1935. An increase of QZ% in total
population has occurred during the period with the ratio of males
to females remaining about the same. The ratio of patients to each
100,000 of the state's concurrent population as shown by the last
three columns indicates a marked increase of patients to state population since 1932 due to additional space being provided in the new
Ypsilanti State Hospital, as well as to more overcrowding.
Figures
giving the population of the entire state as of July 1st of each year,
from which totals in the last three columns were computed, were obtained from the division of Vital Statistics in the State Department
of Health.

the state are shown for each calendar year from 1915 to and Including 1934.
These admissions cover those
at all seven mental hospitals, including State Psychopathic and Ionia, as well as the number admitted by
Wayne County at Elolse. In proportion to the state population, this table shows in column three a marked
decrease in the last two years in the total admission rate, compared to that being obtained In 1915 and
the years immediately following. The opening of the new state hospital at Ypsilantl in 1931 provided the
increase In admissions shown in 1931 and 1932.

Table VII - DEATHS IN HOSPITALS

The total number of deaths occurring each year among the total patients residing at the eight mental
hospitals, Including the Wayne County Hospital at Elolse, are here shown for each calendar year from 1923 to
1934 inclusive.
In the second column is given the total number of patients under treatment each year in these eight
hospitals, obtained by adding the total admissions during each year to the total number of patients in residence at the beginning of the year.
The death rate per thousand thus under treatment is calculated for each year and shown in the last
column, clearly indicating a definite decrease in the last ten years in this rate of hospital deaths.
In 1932 there was recorded the highest total of deaths in a decade, but the resulting proportionate
rate is much lower than that of eight or nine years before.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

VIII - HOSPITAL POPULATIONS AND CAPACITIES
The annual percentages of increase in both hospital population
of mental patients and capacities of state mental hospitals since the
year 1915 are herein noted. By June 30, 1935 the total population of
mental patients being cared for in the state was increased 82.3 per
cent over that of 1915, while on the same date the combined capacity
of all state mental hospitals shows an increase of but 4:2.2 per cent
over that of the same date in 1915.
The resultant overcrowding is indicated in the sixth column,
giving percentage of population in excess of capacity, as it would be
were the state institutions caring for all state patients. In figuring this item, there are added to the patients in state institutions
the state patients being maintained by Wayne County.
In^the seventh and eighth columns are shown the additional capacities available in the Wayne County Hospital at Elolse, and the
resultant actual lower per cent of overcrowding in state hospitals
due to this aid being given the state by Wayne County authorities.
HEW CONSTRUCTION
The building activities, which have been carried on since 1915,
to enlarge the capacity of the state for providing more adequate care
of the insane, have resulted in an increased capacity of 2631 beds
during that period. Included in this construction were permanent alterations to older buildings, as well as new dormitories, cottages
and hospitals at the several institutions; also the initial erection
and opening of the group of hospital buildings for the new institution!
at Ypsllanti. These additions are described herein in detail as to
buildings and location and the chronological order of their erection.
The amount of capital outlay involved in this construction is given
in Table Il-a of this report in the column covering Additions and Improvements*
In the year 1915 there were added 135 beds to the capacity of
the state hospitals for mental disease. 100 of these were at Pontiac
with the opening of the new woman's infirmary and 35 at Newberry with
a 20 bed addition to Cottage 0 and 15 beds more for the tubercular
ward.
In 1916 at Newberry, Cottage H was opened in October with 50
bed capacity and during this same year Ionia Hospital increased their
capacity by 45 beds.
At Kalamazoo Hospital the opening of Noble Lodge for employes
In November, 1917 provided dormitory space for 60 more patients.
There were no additions during 1918 and early in the year 1919
Cottage I at Newberry was opened with a capacity of 50 beds. This
same year at Pontiac one floor of the Sawyer Cottage for men was completed with a capacity of 50 beds.

22

STATE MENTAL HOSPITALS

New Construction: continued.
During the year 1920 Ionia Hospital completed an addition which
provided 45 more beds at that institution.
For the next three years there was no additional bed capacity
provided at any of the hospitals, while changes involving Ionia Hospital in relation to Ionia Reformatory during 1922 resulted in a reduction of 116 beds for the former institution.
In 1924 the second floor of Sawyer Cottage at Pontiac provided
50 more beds on completion and Ionia Hospital opened new dormitories
having capacity of 100 beds.
No additions occurred during 1925 and in 1926 Ionia completed
changes in the location of their occupational therapy department which
made possible dormitory space for SO more patients.
During the next four years there was no construction which provided any added capacity of. consequence. New dining rooms at Traverse
City in 1928 and resulting changes in a number of cottages there provided additional dormitory space for not over six patients.
In 1931 a total of 1431 beds were added to the state'mental
hospital capacity. In January of that year Pratt Cottage was opened
at Kalamazoo with 60 added beds and the opening of the new nurses
home there at the same time provided dormitory space in various wards
for 100 more patients. In May, Traverse City opened a new tubercular
cottage and a new infirmary with a total capacity of 440 beds. This
total addition was subsequently reduced by the remodeling of hall 7
for employees quarters, making the net addition of beds 404.
In midsummer the official opening of the new hospital at Ypsilanti took
place, adding 867 beds to the total capacity that year.
During 1932 the new receiving hospital at Ionia was opened with
a capacity of 204 patients. At Ypsilanti this year the completion of
new dormitories took place which added their rated capacity of 450
beds. However, because of that Institution being as yet incomplete
as a unit and the need of added day room space for hospital patients,
this capacity is reduced to 381, making the total for that year 585
additional beds.
In 1933 the Ferguson receiving hospital at Newberry was opened
and added 120 beds to the total. This makes up the last building construction providing new bed capacity up to the close of the fiscal
year, June 30, 1935.
IX - HOSPITAL CAPACITIES AND OVERCROWDINQ
The normal capacities of each of the seven state mental hospitals is here given, together with the actual overcrowding, based on
the resident populations of each on June 30, 1935.
The determination of these hospital capacities is not based on
any unalterably fixed standard but results from an effort to obtain

23

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

Hospital Capacities and Overcrowding: continued.
comparative figures as to actual overcrowding in these state institutions. A normal capacity rating has been used, requiring as a general
average at least 60 square feet of surface for individual bed space,
and at the same time taking into account such factors as type and
condition of patient, additional day space needed, single rooms in use,
windows available, and similar conditions of practical importance.
The hospital for criminal insane at Ionia requiring a higher proportion of single rooms to dormitories, is accordingly based on a higher
rating for individual bed space, viz., 70 square feet. The capacities
given in the table for all hospitals allow a total combined area per
patient for bed and day space of from 95 to 100 square feet.
The Wayne County Hospital at Eloise is also shown with their
resident population, thus giving the total population of all mental
hospitals covered in this report as of the above date.
Had the 2488 state patients, being cared for on June 30, 1935
at Eloise Hospital, been of necessity transferred to v state hospitals,
the rate of overcrowding in these state institutions would have shown
a total increase of 28.0 per cent.

FUTURE HOSPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The total number of mental patients who were being provided
treatment in state hospitals far the insane and also in Eloise Hospital
in Wayne County, amounted to a total of 13,578 on December 31, 1934,
there being that number in residence on that date. On the same date
there were approximately 1200 committed persons on the waiting lists
of the above hospitals, as well as an unknown number in infirmaries
and homes, and had it been possible to provide needed hospital care
for them, the total number of hospitalized patients per 100,000 population would then have been nearly 290 as a result.
Assuming that a rate of 300 patients per each 100,000 of the
state's population would provide sufficiently to meet present mental
hospital needs, the conditions as to hospital population and admissions
would be about as listed below, if this increase were provided over a
five year period or by the end of ,the year 1939.

The state's population as listed is in agreement with the rate
of increase over the last ten years. The hospital populations are
shown as increasing gradually over the five year period. The total admissions given are based on the experience noted in population movement over the last four years and allow for replacing patients who die
and are discharged during the period, as well as additional patients
made possible by added capacity as it would be supplied.
If this schedule were carried out, the rate of admissions per
100,000 population would, at the highest point indicated, be much lower
than the corresponding rate in 1915 as shown in table VI.
The number of additional beds required to bring about this increase would be about 3000, provided no effort were made to reduce the
present overcrowding in the different hospitals.
With this increase in beds brought up to 3,500 the present overcrowding could be reduced by fifty per cent with the assumption that
Wayne County would continue to provide for the same number of state
patients as at present.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

X - MOVEMENT OF POPULATION

The movement of the patient population of the seven state
mental hospitals and of Wayne County hospital at Eloise for the two
year period from January 1, 1933 to December 31, 1934 is given in
detail "by institutions in this table.
The changes include admissions, discharges, transfers, and
deaths as indicated by detailed reports from the different institutions during the period noted.
These figures are of necessity on a calendar year basis and
are not comparable with previous tables on capacities and population
which are made up to conform with the fiscal year ending June 30th.

CHARTS ON POPULATION AND CAPACITIES

On page twenty-six the population and capacities of the
public hospitals of the state are shown graphically as they have increased each year from 1915 to date. The resident population of the
Wayne County Hospital at Eloise is included in the total for all
hospitals indicated by the dotted line. The population of the
Hospital for Criminal Insane at Ionia is included with the State
Hospitals. The capacities, expressed in beds as a unit, are determined as explained under Table IX and the difference between the
capacity line and the population line for state hospitals indicates
the amount of overcrowding in the state hospitals over this period
of years.
The chart on page twenty-seven graphically shows the relative
increases by years in state population, hospital population and
hospital capacities as expressed in percentages of the amounts
occurring in 1915. The figures for state population each year are
based on the figures furnished by the State Department of Health.
These graphs indicate that the state hospital population increase
exceeded the increase in state population from the year 1931 and
after.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

XI -

PATIENT POPULATION BY PSYCHOSES

The total resident population on December 31, 1954 in the eight
mental hospitals, as indicated in Table X, is here divided according
to psychoses with the resulting percentages in each case.
Of the total population 45.9 per cent have been diagnosed as
dementia praecox, while 10.8 per cent are listed as manic depressive.
The differences between the sexes in the various types of psychoses
are shown in the last two columns.
Males are shown to predominate with regard to general paralysis
and alcoholic psychoses, while females are in greater proportion in
cases of senility, manic depressive, and involution melancholia.
These figures apply only to patients living in the hospitals
as of the date given, while those on parole are similarly shown in
Table XL of this report.

XII - PATIENT POPULATION BY COUNTRIES

The total resident population of December 31, 1934 is again
divided in this table according to the country of birth or parentage
for each patient. All native born, both of whose parents are native
born, are shown under the United States. All native or foreign born,
having both parents born in another country, are listed under the head
of that country. With parents born in different countries, that of
the father is the one under which the patient is listed. The number
of people in the state's population by the 1930 U.S. census divided
by countries and determined on the basis already described, is shown
in the fourth column. The proportionate number of resident patients
connected with each country, as related to each 100,000 persons of
that country in the whole state population, is shown in the last
column. Austria, with 308 patients listed, shows the highest proportionate number of any country. Italy, while having nearly three
times the number of persons listed in the state's population, has 51
less patients in state hospitals than has Austria.
The possibility of making these comparisons with the state
population as of a 1934 census, instead of the 1930 basis, would obviously have a material effect on the total ratio, as well as on the
ratio between individual countries, were such a compilation available.

STATE MENTAL HOSPITALS

XIII - PATIENT POPULATION BY ABES

The total population listed on the books of the eight institutions,
which includes those on parole 'in addition to those in residence, is
here divided according to the various ages of patients on December 31,
1934.
Of the entire population 22.8 per cent are shown to be 60 years
of age and over.
Kalamazoo Hospital has the highest proportion of older patients
with 31 per cent 60 years and over. Up to 60 years of age, males comprise 56 per cent of the population, but over 60 years females are in
the majority.
The average present age for the entire group of patients shown on
the books on the above date amounts to 47.9 years.
XIV - ANALYSIS OF FIRST ADMISSIONS

In this table are shown the total first admissions for the four
year period of 1931 to 1934 inclusive, arranged by institutions in relation with the different types of psychosis. Of this total 4,385 or
almost fifty per cent were received at Eloise Hospital and Ypsilanti
State Hospital. The predominance of males admitted at Newberry and
Traverse City, as compared with Pontiac and Psychopathic, is noted. The
high proportion of males admitted at Ionia is due to the criminal status
of all patients under care of that institution.
The greater portion of these admissions occured in 1931 and 1932
with the completion of new hospital units. The highest number was in
1932 when 2,685 patients were admitted for the first time.
XV - PSYCHOSIS PERCENTAGES OF FIRST ADMISSIONS

In this table all first admissions during the four year period
of 1931-1934 are included in the calculations to determine the relative
frequency of the various types of psychosis in the state as a whole.
The types of psychosis are listed in the order of their frequency, the
first four types including over half the total admissions. Under "all
others" are grouped four remaining types of psychoses having a relatively small number of cases. Here are also included separate columns showing the percentage relation of types of psychosis to total admissions
to each of the different institutions during the above period. Considerable variation may be noted as between institutions in the case of
certain types of psychosis.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

XVI - PSYCHOSIS PERCENTAGES BY YEARS

The variation in percentage of total first admissions to all mental hospitals for each of the last four years for the various types of
psychoses are here shown. Dementia praecox shows marked variations each
year, which is true to a lesser degree in the case of psychoneuroses.
A comparison of the psychosis percentages for 1931 to 1934 with
those of 1922-1926, as given by Doctor Barrett's 1927 report on Michigan
Hospitals, is provided by the first two columns of this table. This indicates a definite increase for dementia praecox and a proportionate reduction in the instance of manic depressive, general paralysis and cerebral arteriosclerosis over the last four years.
XVII - COMPARISON OF SEX AND PRINCIPAL PSYCHOSIS

This table shows the relation of sex in the principal psychosis
for first admissions occurring from 1931 to 1934 inclusive. These figures
are here compared with a similar study for 1921 to 1926 from Doctor Barrett's report and additional data for 1906 to 1912 taken from a report
issued in 1915 by a commission appointed to investigate insanity in Michigan. A definite increase in the percentage of female cases is clearly
shown as occurring since 1906 for both dementia praecox and senile psychoses.
Since 1921 the percentage of female cases has shown marked increases in
the instances of cerebral arteriosclerosis, psychoneuroses and alcoholic
psychosis. Male cases indicate increasing percentages in the case of paranoid conditions and also for psychoses with other nervous diseases.
XVIII - YEARLY ADMISSIONS RELATED TO AGE GROUPS

The total first admissions occurring each year from 1931 to 1934
in all eight mental hospitals are shown divided for each year by age
groups, representing the ages of patients on their respective admission
dates. Each of these year's totals of admissions show slight variation
in their distribution over the different age groups and the average age
at admission has remained practically fixed as shown on the bottom line.
The two five year age groups within which the greatest number of admissions occur are those from 35 to 45 years, including therein about 23 per
cent of the total. Prom 15 to 35 years there are included fully one third
of the entire number admitted each year and from 70 years and over, about
one tenth.
In order to cite a definite trend of increase or decrease in any
of the above age groups, this study by years should be extended over a
much longer period. Table XIX contains figures taken from separate
periods several years apart.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

XIX - COMPARISON OF AOE GROUPS OVER DIFFERENT PERIODS

Here are shown at three different periods the admissions to state
mental hospitals divided by ages of patients on their admission date.
That for the year 1912 is taken from the committee report on insane
issued in 1915.
From Dr. Barrett's 1927 report is shown the group of
admissions occurring from 1917 to 1926 and compared with these is the
total of first admissions for the years 1933 and 1934.
It is noted that
the age group from 35 to 40 years is the one containing the largest per
cent of cases in all three of the periods given in the table. The percentage of those admitted in 1912 who were 70 years old and over is considerably less than for the same group in the two later periods.

XX - AOE GROUPS IN RELATION WITH PRINCIPAL PSYCHOSES

The first admissions to all eight mental hospitals during the
years 1933 and 1934 are here shown divided by age groups and also indicating how these same age groups are distributed over eight principal
psychoses.
In the fourth column the total admissions In each age group are
compared with each 100,000 of the same age as shown in Michigan's population by the 1930 census. This clearly indicates the age group, from
which the highest proportion are admitted for mental disorders, is that
of 70 years and over.
As regards the different psychoses and ages on admission, it is
shown that manic depressive and general paralysis are distributed quite
generally over the whole range of age groups. Those diagnosed as dementia praecox are most evident in early adult life with almost fifty per
cent of patients with this psychosis, occurring in 1933 and 1934, being
admitted at not over 30 years of age.

STATE MENTAL HOSPITALS

XXI - ADMISSIONS BY COUNTRIES OF BIRTH AND PARENTAQE

The total first admissions for the four year period, 1931-1934,
with relation to psychoses, are here shown divided according to the birth
and parentage of the patient. Outside of those connected with United
States and Canada, patients born in, or having parents born in, Poland
and Germany make up about one third of the balance. The figures given
on the bottom line of the table indicate the average proportionate number admitted yearly in relation to each 100,000 persons of that particular country in the state's population by the 1930 census. Austria, Hungary and Ireland show proportionately high admission rates, almost double
the average rate. England and Scotland have rates near or below the
average, while Holland is the lowest of the group. As compared with a
similar compilation, shown by Table XII for current resident population,
almost the same countries appear as above or below the average in a varying ratio.
XXII -PSYCHOSES PERCENTAGES BY COUNTRIES OF PARENTAGE

This table shows the relative frequency with which the principal
psychoses occur in the first admissions, as divided between the important
countries noted in the preceding tabulation. Italy, Austria, Poland,
Russia and the Slavic countries have the highest percentages for dementia
praecox, with England, Ireland and Scotland the lowest for this disorder.
Finland is shown to be far ahead with manic depressive psychosis. England,
Ireland and Scotland lead in cerebral arteriosclerosis and senile psychoses
and Ireland, Austria, Poland and Slavic countries have the largest percentage in alcoholic psychosis.
XXIII - PSYCHOSES OF FIRST ADMISSIONS AS DIVIDED BY NATIVITY

In this table the first admissions for the four year period, 19311935, are divided between native and foreign born, showing a trifle over
74 per cent of them to be native born. Of these native born 52 per cent
have both parents who are also native born. Both the native and foreign
born are each divided according to psychoses and in the last two columns
are given the percentages of total cases for each psychosis for both native and foreign born groups. This shows dementia praeoox cases to be
relatively more numerous with the native born, while senility, arteriosclerosis and manic depressive are among the type of cases proportionately higher in number among the foreign born. With reference to general
paralysis and dementia praecox, there is a much smaller proportion of female cases shown as applying to the foreign born.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

XXIV - PSYCHOSES OP FIRST ADMISSIONS DIVIDED BY RACES

T&e total first admissions for the four year period, 1931 to
1954, are here again divided by psychoses shown in relation with the
different races, which classification agrees with the Dictionary of
Races in use by the Federal Immigration Commission.
In percentage of total cases the African group has a high
figure of 19.8 per cent for general paralysis and 26.5 per cent for
dementia praecox. Out of 106 cases among Hebrews 30 per cent are
listed as dementia praecox. Those listed under the Irish race indicate a relatively high percentage for senile dementia of 14.6 per
cent. With the Italian and the Magyar, manic depressive psychosis
is proportionately high with percentages of 16.5 and 17 respectively
of total cases admitted. For the English race there ia a comparative
low of 15.7 per cent for cases of dementia praecox, while with the
Italian 28.5 per cent of total admissions were reported as this psychosis.

XXV - READMISSIONS

1931-1934

The total readmissions received in all hospitals during the
four year period ending December 31, 1934, are here shown by institutions and in relation with the types of psychoses. Newberry and
Pontiac show the highest proportion of readmissions, with one fifth
and one quarter respectively of all their admissions being of this
type. In relation to sex, females show a higher proportion for readmissions than for first admissions. The proportions are 48 per
cent of the total readmissiona and 41 per cent of the total first admissions during the last four year period.

shown in relation with the different psychoses by percentages, as
well as with relation to each 100 first admissions having a similar
diagnosis during the same period. Almost 60 per cent of these readmissions were either cases of manic depressive or of dementia
praecox. As related to first admissions, there were 46.8 cases of
manic depressive readmitted to every 100 cases admitted for the
first time. With psychopathic personality there were 37.5 cases readmitted for every 100 first admissions. Dementia praecox cases
show almost one quarter as many readmitted as are first admitted.

XXVII - READMISSION AGE GROUPS WITH PRINCIPAL PSYCHOSES

The readmlssions entering all mental hospitals during the
four year period from 1931 to 1934 inclusive, are here tabulated to
age groups and principal psychoses the same as are first admissions
in Table XX.
As compared with first admissions there is evident a much
smaller proportion of readmissions in the age groups for both the
younger ones up to 20 years old and the aged patients of 65 and over.
Among the principal psychoses, dementia praecox indicates a
larger proportion of readmissions of patients with that disorder who
are from 30 to 50 years of age than occurs in the case of first admissions.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

TOTAL ADMISSIONS BY COUNTIES

Total admissions, including readmissiona as well as first admissions, for the four year period from 1931 to 1934 inclusive are divided in this table according to counties from which received. The
average yearly total of admissions is shown for each county in the
third column and the number of admissions occurring annually proportionate to each 100,000 persons resident in the county by the 1930
census, is given in the fourth column. The counties of the state are
considered in four main groups, divided geographically over the state.
These conform with a similar grouping of counties appearing in the
1927 Barrett report, in which figures were given on admissions from
counties during 1915, 1920 and 1925. A comparison with this latter
report indicates that in the last four years there has been a marked
falling off in annual admissions from the most of the counties. Wayne
and Jackson counties are important exceptions.

DEATHS AND DEATH RATES BY INSTITUTIONS
The total number of deaths occurring each year among patients in residence at each of the eight mental
hospitals is given in this table. These separate totals are compared with the total number of patients under
treatment during the year in each case and in the last four columns are given the resulting death rates in
proportion to each 1000 patients under treatment. The number of patients under treatment is made up of the
total number in residence at the beginning of the year plus all those admitted during the 12 months following*

TOTAL DISCHARGES AND RATES OP DISCHARGE BY INSTITUTIONS
Here are noted the total number of patients discharged each year by each institution. These totals
include patients discharged outright from each institution, those taken from the books due to a continued absence on parole for over a year without reinstatement and those deported to another state or country. Also
Included are patients transferred to a different type of institution within the state, but all cases of shifting or transferring of patients from one mental hospital to another within the state hospital group are entirely separate from these discharge totals. As with the preceding table, these totals are compared with
totals under treatment and the corresponding rates of discharge given in the last four columns.
As noted in previous description of institutions, the Psychopathic Hospital has a large proportion of
patients on observation commitments who are discharged after a short stay at the hospital. This accounts for
the high ratio of discharge from that institution. Considering the remaining seven institutions only, their
combined rate of discharge for 1934 would be 75.4 per thousand under treatment. Adding this figure to the
combined death rate of 53.6 per thousand would give a total of 129 patients who have died or were discharged
for each thousand patients under treatment during 1934.

STATE MENTAL HOSPITALS

XXXI - DEATHS BY INSTITUTIONS AND BY PSYCHOSES

The total deaths occurring during the four years ending December 31, 1934, among all patients on the books of each of the eight
mental hospitals are here tabulated according to the various psychoses
assigned to the different cases after diagnosis. About half of these
deaths are among patients having one of the three psychoses, general
paralysis, cerebral arteriosclerosis and senility. Sixty-three per
cent of the total who died were male patients.

XXXII - DEATH PERCENTAGES BY PSYCHOSES

Of the total deaths during the 1931-1934 period, the percentage
shown as applying to each psychoses is here indicated. These results
are compared with a similar study made in Dr. Barrett's report in 1927
over a five year period from 1922 to 1926 inclusive.
Those types of psychoses which indicate recently either an increase or a reduction in the percentage of deaths over ten years ago
in most cases similarly show a relative increase or reduction in the
percentage of first admissions, as between the same periods. Such
variations in admission percentages are given in Table XVI.
The important exception to this rule is in the case of cerebral
arteriosclerosis which shows a marked increase in percentage of deaths,
while having a small decrease in proportion of first admissions.
General paralysis has a decided decrease in the relative number of
deaths in the later period, although the decrease in admissions during the same interval has been relatively small.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

XXXIII- CAUSES OP DEATH IN RELATION WITH PRINCIPAL PSYCHOSES

The causes of the total deaths occurring in the two years of
1933 and 1934 among mental patients on the books of all eight hospitals
are here given in relation with the principal psychoses. These death
causes conform to the International List of causes of death issued by
the Bureau of the Census in 1931.
Diseases of the heart and circulatory system account for a third of these, while cerebral hemorrhage,
general paralysis and other nervous diseases claim about another fourth
of the total. With dementia praecox, fifty one per cent of deaths are
indicated as from tuberculosis and heart disease. Deaths of manic depressive patients were led by heart disease with over 20 per cent of
the total. With general paralysis over 80 per cent of the death causes
were directly related to their disorder.

XXXIV - DEATH RATES RELATED TO PSYCHOSES

The total deaths reported by all hospitals among resident patients during 1934 are shown in this table divided as to psychoses and
compared with the total number of patients under treatment for each
type of psychosis during the same year. This number under treatment
consists of the number in residence at the beginning of the year plus
those admitted during the year.
The last three columns give the compiled death rates for each
psychosis with no calculation made for less than forty cases as a base.
The high death rates are noted for senile dementia, cerebral arteriosclerosis and also for other somatic disease cases. Among male patients
the death rate is proportionately much higher in cases of senile dementia and with other somatic diseases.

STATE MENTAL HOSPITALS

XXXV - AVERAGE AGE AND HOSPITAL LIFE

The total deaths occurring among all hospital patients on the
books for the four year period, together with the average hospital
life in each case and the average age at death, all divided according
to psychosis are listed in this table. Dementia Praecox and Paranoid
Conditions show the longest average life period with Senility and
General Paralysis among the shortest in length of life. In comparison
with the 1927 report on Michigan mental hospitals, the average life
for Dementia Praecox has lengthened from 11.8 years to 17.8 years,
while the general average has increased from 4.5 years to 6.6 years.

XXXVI - TOTAL DISCHARGES BY INSTITUTIONS AND PSYCHOSIS

This table covers all discharges for four years and gives the
number of patients under the different psychosis discharged by each
institution. These discharges are made up of different types as described under Table XXX. The psychosis showing the highest percentage
of discharges is that of Manic Depressive with an average of 20 per
cent, with Dementia Praecox next with 19 per cent. Hewberry shows onethird of its total discharges as Manic Depressives and 22 per cent of
Ypsilanti's total was discharged as Dementia Praecox. Cases diagnosed
as Cerebral Arteriosclerosis made up over 6 per cent of Kalamazoo discharges, while the total average for this psychosis was 2.8 per cent.

XXXVII - DISCHARGES - RATES OP RECOVERY

The total discharges for the four year period are shown as to
those recovered, improved and unimproved and in relation with the different psychoses. The rate of recovery, etc., per 100 admissions of
the specific psychosis during the same period has been determined in
each case and listed in this table. No calculations were made where
the number admitted was less than 25.
In the case of patients who are discharged after a period of a
year on parole, their condition on discharge will be determined in
different ways. When possible it may be ascertained by the visit of
a social worker or the patient visiting a clinic. If this cannot be
done at the end of the years absence, the condition of the patient at
the time of leaving the hospital is noted to specify condition on discharge.

STATE MENTAL HOSPITALS

XXXVIII - DISCHARGE RATES IN RELATION WITH PSYCHOSES

The total discharges for the year 1934, listed according to
psychoses are here shown compared with the number of cases of the
same diagnosis which were under treatment during the year. This rate
of discharge is indicated as being relatively high in the case of
psychoneuroses, as well as psychoses due to drugs and toxins. The
rate for female patients discharged is especially high in the case
of the former.

XXXIX - DISCHARGES AND -TEARS OP HOSPITAL LIFE

Here the total discharges for the four year period are shown
in relation with the different psychoses and the average period during which patients under each psychosis have been on the records of
the hospital. This of necessity includes time during which the patient may have been away from the institution for periods of a year
or less. This indicates the fact that of these patients discharged,
but few have been listed on the hospital records for periods in excess of three or four years, with most of them limited to an interval
of between one and two years.
With an average period of one year and eleven months for the
total discharged and an average stay of six years and seven months
for the number who have died in the same four year interval, the
general average period during which the average patient is remaining
on the state hospital record is now three years and eleven months.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

CHANSES IN HOSPITAL POPULATION

Prom the record of discharges over the four year period from
1931 to 1934 inclusive, it has been possible to determine the rate of
change in the hospital population of the entire state.
During the year 1931 there was a total of 3444 patients admitted to the state mental hospitals, including the large number transferred to the new Ypsilanti Hospital from other institutions. Of this
number 353, or 10.5 per cent, had been in the institution for periods
of three months or less before they were discharged. A total of 575.
or 16.6 per cent of the total group admitted, were discharged follow
ing a period of six months or less after admission to the institution,
and 756, or 21.95 per cent, had been discharged after being at the institution for a period of one year or less.
At the completion of the four years there were 979 patients, or
28.3 per cent of the total admitted in 1931, who had left the institution and were later discharged after remaining there for the four year
period or less.
The number admitted to the State Psychopathic Hospital is not
considered in this connection, as a large percentage of those were on
observation orders and the remainder later committed were transferred
in a few months to the different state hospitals.
On January 1, 1931 the total book population of the eight mental hospitals included in this report was 12025 patients. By the close
of the four year period to December 31, 1934,1770 of this group of
patients had died, 1812 had been discharged, and 346 of the original
group were still on parole. Of the number on the original date in
residence, 10776, there remained at the close of 1934y8097, or 75$.

XL - PAROLED PATIENTS

The number of patients paroled on December 31, 1934 and shown
in relation with each psychosis is here divided by institutions.
Of the civil insane and in proportion to individual populations
Ypsilanti has the highest number on parole and Eloise the lowest.
Forty two per cent of the cases paroled are either dementia praecox
or manic depressive. Pontiac indicates almost a third of patients
paroled as manic depressive.
These paroles do not include all absences and will vary with
figures for individual institutions showing total on books at a
specified date.

Part II
HOME AND TRAINING SCHOOLS

This portion of the report covers information relating to the inmates of the two schools located in the state for the care and training
of mental defectives. As previously mentioned in this report, the Michigan School is located at Lapeer, with a branch of this school which was
opened in 1934 at Mt. Pleasant. The county of Wayne maintains a similar
school at Northville, and the greater portion of its population are state
wards for whose maintenance the county is reimbursed by the state.
The tables which follow cover the population of both these institutions and give a complete picture of the group of mental defectives
which has been institutionalized for care and training over recent years.

1 -

POPULATION OP TRAIHIHG SCHOOLS

In this table is given the total actual resident population for
each of the twenty-one years from 1915 to 1935 inclusive, as shown on
June 30th of each year. These figures are divided as between male and
female and are further compared with the actual state population in the
last three columns. This number in residence, of course, does not include any individuals on parole or visit who are still included on the
books of the institution. At this season of the year (June 30th) this
number absent from the institution is comparatively large, due to the
number allowed to go home during this vacation period.
As regards the number of male and female residents, it will be
noted that in all the twenty year period males have exceeded females in
actual count, except in the year 1933.
Considered in proportion to the
male and female population of the entire state, females in the schools
have shown the higher ratio in the last five years and in over half of
the preceding years.
While the entire state population has shown a 58 per cent Increase over that of 1915, the resident population of these training
schools has increased 286 per cent over the figures of twenty years ago.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

TOTAL DEATHS DURING 20 YEAR PERIOD

The total deaths occurring in the training schools each calendar year from 1915 to 1954 are shown in this table. The total under
treatment each year is made up of the total resident population at
the "beginning of each year plus the total admissions during the year.
The ratio of deaths to each 1000 under treatment, as shown in
the fourth column, indicates a generally decreasing death rate, with
the last year in agreement with the country's average death rate in
civil life.

HOME AND TRAINING SCHOOLS

INCREASES IN POPULATION AND CAPACITIES OVER 20 TEARS

In the table which follows is shown the yearly increase, from
1915 to 1935, of the population and capacity of the state training
schools.
A review of the record of building construction shows what
buildings were completed each fiscal year, while the amount of these
capital expenditures is given in table II-S of this report. In the
year ending June 30, 1917 at the Home and Training School at Lapeer
colony building #2 and cottage #29 were completed, adding 107 beds to
the total capacity. In 1918 colony building #3 was added with 66 bed
capacity and in 1919 colony building #4 and building #5 were completed
with a capacity of 66 beds apiece. In 1923 the institution capacity
was increased by 459 beds when colony buildings #6, #7, #9, #10 and
#12 were opened with a capacity of 67 beds each. In 1924 the two
colony buildings #8 and #11 contributed & total of 134 beds on completion. In 1925 465 beds were added to the capacity of the Lapeer
school by opening colony buildings #13, #14 and #15, cottage #35 and
the girls hospital which latter building has a capacity of 202 beds.
In 1927 colony building #17 supplied 13 more beds and in 1930, the completion of colony building #16 with 12 more beds, cottages #33 and
#34 with 139 beds each and cottage #35 with 90 beds added a total of
368 beds to the Lapeer school for that year. Cottage #36, opened in
1933, was the last building erected at Lapeer to date, adding 24 beds
to make the present total capacity of 2795 beds. During the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1934 the arrangements were completed for transfer
of the Federal school property at Mt. Pleasant to this state and 110
beds were added to the total state capacity by rebuilding cottage B
at the Mt. Pleasant branch school.
An additional factor which has increased the total state capacity for care and training of mental defectives is the erection of a
new training school by Wayne County, located at Northville. This institution was opened in the fall of 1926 with about 150 beds, added
to its capacity each year until 1931, when it reached its present
maximum of 750 beds.

IV - POPULATION AND CAPACITY INCREASES

The increases in population and capacities are shown for each
fiscal year in this table from 1915 to 1935 for the Home and Training
schools in the state. In the third column is given the percentages
of increase each year in the populations of these institutions over
that of 1915.
In the fifth column is given the percentage of increase
yearly over that of 1915 in the capacities of state institutions. Up
to 1927 capacity increases are shown to have kept pace with population
increases, but in the years following state capacities have fallen
far behind. In the sixth column is figuring the per cent of excess
population over state capacity, the total of state wards being housed
by Wayne County from 1927 on, are included in the calculations as
though housed in state institutions. Allowance has also been made
In this connection for the number of inmates at home on school vacation at this time of the year (June 30) for whom dormitory space has
to be reserved.
In the last column is shown the effect that Wayne County School
at Northville has in reducing this excess over capacity by caring for
several hundred state wards In addition to those being maintained
there at county expense.
Recent developments, not Included within the period covered
by the following table, will aid materially in Increasing the state
capacities of these schools. The opening of the rebuilt Cottage C
at the Mt. Pleasant branch school in July, 1935 adds capacity for 193
beds. The recent legislative act, creating the Childrens' Village at
the former Coldwater School, is being put into effect and will, in due
time, result in an increase of about 350 more beds for this training
school group.

POPULATION AND CAPACITY CHARTS

The chart on page eight shows graphically the totals for population and capacity each year from 1915 to date for the Home and
Training Schools in the state, as given each year on June 30th.
On page nine are graphs showing the percentage relation between the yearly increases in population and capacity of the training
schools in the state since 1915, and the corresponding increases in
the state's population. These show how much more the schools' population and capacity have increased as compared with that of the state
population.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

V - MOVEMENT OP POPTJLATION

This table gives in detail the changes in population at Lapeer
and Northville for the years 1933 and 1934.
Here are shown the number of admissions, readmissions, transfers, discharges and deaths occurring in each of these institutions
during the above years.
The number away from the institutions but still on the books
at the close of the year is relatively high due to that being a vacation period.

VI - ENROLLMENT BY AGE GROUPS AND MENTAL CLASSIFICATION

In this table is included the enrollment of the two schools at
Lapeer and Northville, covering those in residence as well as those
on vacation and parole on December 31, 1934.
This tabulation shows that three quarters of the enrollment la
contained in the age group from five to nineteen years. The age
group including 10 to 14 years contains the largest number in any
single group. One third of the enrollment is contained in each of
the imbecile and moron groups. Females show a considerably higher
proportion of idiots, imbeciles and morons than do the males.
The ages making up the above groups are in accordance with
the date given above.

The total enrollment of both, schools as of December 31, 1934 Is here divided as to native and foreign
born, with a further separation Into mental classifications based on Individual I.Q's.
Only a little over four per cent of the total are foreign born, with the division Into mental classifications for the foreign born showing about half the percentage of Idiots that the native born do. Of the native
born, those of foreign parentage indicate a proportion of Idiots about five per cent greater than do the ones
of native parentage.

VIII - TOTAL ENROLLMENT BY COUNTRIES OP BIRTH OR EXTRACTION

In this table the enrollment of the schools at Lapeer and
Northville, as of December 31, 1934, is divided according to the
birth or parentage of each individual. Those born in the United
States, whose parents are likewise born in this country, are listed
under this head. Those born in the United States, with both parents
born in another country, are listed under the head of such country.
Those having parents born in separate countries are listed under the
country of birth of the male parent.
The third column lists the number of Inhabitants in the state,
divided as above, according to the 1930 census.
In the last column the number of enrolled cases thus related
to each country is shown in proportion to each 100,000 persons of that
same country included in the state population.
Austria, which shows an actual enrollment of 59 patients, has
the highest number in proportion to the related total in the state's
population, while Scotland is among the lowest.

MICHIGAN STATE HOSPITALS

IX - PRESENT ENROLLMENT DIVIDED BY COUNTIES OP RESIDENCE

The enrollment at the two schools on December 31, 1934 is
here divided according to the counties of the state from which the
patients were received. The population of each county by the IT. S.
census of 1930 is also given and the proportionate number enrolled
from each county per 100,000 population in each case is noted in
the last column.
Many of the counties in the poorer, thinly populated districts
show the highest rates, of which Kalkaska, Otsego and Osceola are
examples.

X - TOTAL ADMISSIONS BY COUNTIES

Total admissions to the two schools for the four year period
from 1931 to 1934 inclusive are included in this table, being divided according to the coxuities from which received.
The average number received annually from each county is compared with the population of that county by the 1930 census and the
corresponding number per 100,000 population noted in the last column.
A high proportionate rate of admission is apparent in some of
the upper counties, which, in some cases, likewise have a high enrollment rate shown in the previous table.

TOTAL ADMISSIONS - MENTAL STATUS RELATED TO RESIDENCE AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
In this table is shown the total admissions to the two training schools for the four years from 1931 to
1934, divided according to their mental classification, the type of residence, whether rural or urban, and
their condition in life economically. About 80 per cent of the admissions are from urban localities and fully
one half of those from both rural and urban sections are dependent. As to mental status, slightly more than
one third from urban sections are idiots or imbeciles, while about half of the rural admissions are made up of
those belonging in either of these two groups.

RATIO OF DEATHS TO EACH 1000 UNDER TREATMENT

Table XII

The total deaths occurring from 1931 to 1934 inclusive are here divided according to mental status.
The average number dying annually in each group is shown in the second column and the average number under
treatment, determined as noted in the preceding table, is given in the third column. The ratio of these
average deaths to the number under treatment is shown in the last column and indicates a relatively high rate
for those of the lowest mental status.

DISCHARGES IN RELATION TO MENTAL STATUS AND LENGTH OP RESIDENCE

The total discharges from the two schools, which have been made
during the four year period from 1931 to 1934 inclusive, are given in
this table and are divided by mental status. These are in addition to
transfers which may have been made between the two schools in the state,
and also to deaths which are given in a separate table. The length of
residence in the institution of those discharged averages about five
years and is greatest with those of the lower mental status.

XIV - DEATHS IN RELATION TO MENTAL STATUS AND LENGTH OF RESIDENCE

The total deaths for the four year period of 1931 to 1934 are
shown in this table, divided by mental status and giving average length
of residence. This time of residence includes the total elapsed time
in the interval between the date of admission and the date of death.
Those of the lower mental status show the longest periods of residence.

XV - CAUSES OP DEATH

The causes for the total deaths occurring in the schools from
1931 to 1934 inclusive are here listed in accordance with the International List, published by the Bureau of the Census. Over 45 per
cent of these deaths were from tuberculosis and pneumonia. Among the
idiots over 50 per cent of the deaths were from the same causes.

Part III
MICHIGAN EPILEPTIC COLONY

Care and treatment of epileptics within the state is provided
at the institution located at Wahjamega, a' few miles east of Saginaw,
near the village of Caro. This institution was first opened in 1914
and the tables which follow show its growth In capacity and population
from 1915 to date. They also include analysis of the present population and of admissions, discharges and deaths occurring during four
years, ending December 31, 1934.

1 - RESIDENT POPULATION 1915-1935

In this table is shown the resident population of the colony
as it stood on June 30th of each year from 1915 to date. The rated
capacity of the institution is also given and comparison with the
growth in population indicates that with a population increase of 538
per cent since 1915, the capacity increase has been considerably less
or 430 per cent in the same time.
The ratio of patients to the population of the state is given
in the last three columns. These show a definite increase in the
proportionate number of epileptics being given care and treatment by
the state with an almost equal proportion in the division between
males and females.

II - CAPACITIES AND BUILDINGS

The additions to the capacity of the colony which have "been
made from 1915 to date by the erection of new cottages and a hospital
building are included in this table. The amount of investment represented by these added buildings over this period is given in the
table II-c of this report covering expenditures.
The capacities as given are based on a unit figure of 750 cubic
feet of air space per patient. The type of construction of these
colony buildings provides large open dormitories with a maximum of
air circulation and separate day rooms in connection.
The last column of this table shows the proportion of overcrowding as indicated by the population at the close of each year
and based on the capacity ratings as noted.

Ill - ADMISSIONS AND DEATHS 1915-1934

The total admissions and the total deaths occurring each year
from 1915 to 1934 are included in this table. The rate of these admissions in proportion to each 100,000 of the state's population for
each successive year shows a varying ratio due to the additional
buildings erected.
Deaths are shown in relation to each 1000 patients under treatment. This number under treatment includes the total patients in
residence at the beginning of the year plus all admissions during the
twelve months following.

POPULATION MOVEMENT 1933 and 1934

The movement and changes in patients during the two years
ending December 31, 1934 are detailed in this table. These admissions, discharges and deaths are made up from individual reports by
the institution covering each case.
The 42 cases received by transfer in 1933 were from the Home
and Training School at Lapeer. There are more male admissions during the period and similarly more male discharges and deaths, so
that the ratio of male and female population remains about the same.

STATE EPILEPTIC COLONY

V - TOTAL ADMISSIONS AND TOTAL POPULATION BY COUNTIES

In this table the total admissions from 19S1 to 1934 inclusive,
together with the total patient population on December 31, 1934, are
divided by counties from which received. The ratio of the total of
admissions for the four years and the patient population from each
county to each 100,000 actual population of each respective county by
the 1950 census is also tabulated.
Most of the counties having poor, sparsely settled districts
show the highest admission rate, as well as high patient population
rates. Examples are Arenao, losco, Kalkaska and Hontmorency.

VI- TOTAL ADMISSIONS BY AGE AND ECONOMIC STATUS

Here are divided the total admissions to the colony during the
four years ending December 31, 1934, by age groups and according to
the economic status of the patient or his family. Less than ten per
cent of those admitted were found to have resources sufficient to care
for immediate needs, while 43 per cent of them were actually dependent
upon charitable sources. Slightly less than half of those admitted
were under 20 years of age and 92 per cent of all admissions were
persons less than 50 years of age*

VII- ADMISSIONS BY AGE GROUPS AND NATIVITY

The total admissions occurring in the four year period from
1931 to 1954 are divided in this table according to nativity and age
groups. Less than seven per cent are foreign born, and of the native
born 55 per cent are of full native parentage.
The foreign born show a smaller proportion of females in the
total of their admissions. There are also a smaller number of the
younger age groups contained in the total of the foreign born admissions.

VIII - DISCHARGES AND YEARS OP HOSPITAL LIFE

The total discharges from 1951 to 1934 are shown here by age
groups and according to the number of years they have been on the
books of the institution. Seventy-eight per cent of all discharges
were less than 35 years old at the time of discharge. The same proportion as given above was true in the case of both sexes. The average time in the institution was also about the same for both sexes.
