"[...] What an Attendant Should First Learn.-The duties of an attendant upon the insane are varied, arduous, and exacting; they are associated with irritations, perplexities, and anxieties, bring grave responsibilities, and call for the exercise of tact, judgment, and self-control. These many duties are not quickly nor easily learned, and the new attendant must be willing to fill, at first, a minor position, to begin at the beginning and learn gradually all the details of ward work; he must acquire habits of caution and watchfulness, and learn in a general way the care of the insane, before he can assume a position of authority over other attendants, the control of a ward, and the responsibility of the direct care of patients.[...]".

Excerpt from How to Care for the Insane: A Manual for Nurses At the time of starting a training school, in 1883, the author was unaware that like work was commencing at the McLean Asylum, Somerville, Mass., by Dr. Campbell Clark and others in Scotland, and in New South Wales. Each was independent, and each worked out the problem independently. Thus, far separated efforts showed the time had come when attendants must be evolved into trained nurses. The most gratifying feature has been the unanimous approval by American superintendents and the establishment of training schools in almost every asylum in the land, often under the most difficult conditions and at a great sacrifice of the precious time and strength of the medical staff. The increasing number of these schools and pupils demands a second edition of this little manual. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"This little book is excellent. Dr. Granger deserves the thanks of all charitable people....If ever there was a book which needed no apology for its existence, this is that book. Who of us does not know that the 'wits of an attendant upon the insane have not to be sharpened in many directions not required by a general nurse.' Hence the necessity of a treatise which takes the subject where a general treatise upon nursing leaves it, and gives just the knowledge which this little book of Dr. Granger contains. The guiding principle of his book is that persons sent to the care of asylums must be considered as patients, which it must not be forgotten, are sick people, sent from their homes, to be cared for in asylums because it is believed that there they can be cared for better than their friends can care for them. To this end attendants are first instructed in the physical structure of a human being, that is, physiology, then in the care of that structure, that is, hygiene, after which comes, by study and experience, the mental characteristics, which is the metaphysical. In all these duties the good attendant must develop his self-control, his kindness, his judgment, his tact, to its greatest extent....Now it is just this sort of training which wouldn't hurt an of us. Who does not need a little development of his self-control and his kindness?" -Book Notes "This is a very practical little work, giving much information, and will be found of great service in the training of attendants.

Excerpt: Winter Fair building was at once placed at the disposal of the government by its directors, and the patients temporarily but comfortably housed therein, while plans were immediately got under way for a new hospital, to be of fireproof construction throughout, with pressed brick and cut-stone walls, metal roof, iron stairways, elevators, and fully equipped for hospital purposes with the most modern plumbing, ventilating and heating, the last to be supplied from a power plant apart from the hospital buildings, pipes passing thereto through a tunnel. It was designed to have a frontage of 425 feet with two additional wings, and to be three stories high with basement. Accommodation was to be provided for 1000 patients at an estimated cost of $1,000.000. The work of erection was begun early in the spring of 1911, and on December 2, 1912, the patients were moved from the Winter Fair building to their new quarters. The formal opening was held in February, 1913.1 The present population is 485. HOME FOR INCURABLES. Portage La Prairie. This institution, located at Portage la Prairie, a town some 50 miles west of Winnipeg, was opened in June, 1890. It was not really intended for mental cases, but owing to the lack of room in the Selkirk Asylum, there were transferred to it therefrom, on its opening, some 17 quiet patients of the idiotic type. This action, combined with the fact that imbeciles and idiots are by law non-admissible to the insane hospitals, ...
