Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Papers by the Medical Staff of the New Jersey State Hospital at Trenton, Vol. 2: 1912-1913 We have been content until quite recently with the loose methods of investigating this important subject, and the fact that insanity occurred in the family in such and such a proportion of our patients was considered enough for our present knowledge. It is usual to see in statistics of insane hospitals a summary of the number of cases in which heredity was a factor, such heredity being merely insanity in the family. We have been aware that certain forms of insanity exhibited more heredity than others. But we have had no accurate knowledge of the nature and type of mental disease in ancestors and immediate families of our patients. We must all plead guilty to our lack of interest in this subject, and we must acknowledge our indebtedness to one outside of our work who has succeeded in arousing our interest and stimulating our endeavors in this field. Prof. Charles B. Davenport, of the Eugenics Section of the American Breeders' Association, and in charge of the Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor, has been the one to stimulate our interest in this field. In this office, in which Prof. H. H. Laughlin has been associated with Prof. Davenport, the modern ideas of the study of heredity had its birth. The office has been in existence less than three years, but has already accomplished a great deal, and through this agency many state hospitals, as well as other institutions for the care of epileptics and the feebleminded, have been supplied with competent and well-trained field workers, who are now engaged in vigorously attacking the problem in a score of centers. The work ers have been prepared by means of a summer school, which lasts six weeks. During this time systematic instruction is given in collecting data in the field, tabulating such data, and in making heredity charts. The workers are usually chosen from among college graduates, and those having some experience in social service work, preferably women. It is with some pride that we note that New Jersey has been the pioneer in this special line of work. The first systematic study of the question of heredity in the feebleminded was the work of Prof. Johnstone and Dr. Goddard, of the Training School, at Vineland.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Papers by the Medical Staff of the New Jersey, State Hospital at Trenton, Vol. 1: 1907-1911 The primary object of the investigation was to compare the fluid of various psychoses, especially those psychoses that would be confused with general paralysis clinically, and we believe that by this method facts have been obtained that warrant the statement that changes occur in the cells of the cerebro-spinal fluid that are pathognomonic of general paralysis, so that from the fluid alone a positive diagnosis should usually be possible. (of course this refers only to patients suffering from mental diseases.) In order to substantiate our claims, we have utilised the anatomical material at our disposal, both to confirm the clinical diagnosis and establish the origin of the various cells. We have not taken up other conditions outside of the realm of psychiatry from lack of time and material, so that our conclusions refer entirely to this field. In such conditions as organic dementia, dementia praecox, alcoholic insanity (acute and chronic), senile dementia and epilepsy, we have compared the findings with those of general paralysis and have come to definite conclusions. Many interesting points re lating to the changes in post-mortem fluids have arisen, but we will only be able to mention them and their relation to acute toxic conditions, and we hope that, aside from obtaining facts for diag nostic purposes, this work will stimulate investigation in other fields of medicine, especially the post-mortem fluids in general diseases.

From colonial beginnings, it traces the development of poor law and state welfare institutions in a matrix of local and voluntary efforts, and it shows how nineteenth-century ideas about "charity and corrections" were transformed into twentieth-century public welfare"--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Sloan: Architect of Philadelphia, 1815-1884 is a comprehensive study of one of America's most influential architects. Sloan created the designs that have become prototypes for many public buildings. His plan for the Hospital of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia served as the model for American general hospitals, and, with Dr. Thomas S. Kirkbride, he created the model for mental hospitals in the United States. Sloan was also an innovative designer of public schools, creating the "Philadelphia Plan" of schoolhouse design, which came to be internationally known and widely used. Sloan helped to shape the architecture of his time not only through the buildings he designed but also through his writings. He published several major pattern books, covering every aspect of the architectural profession from carpentry to furnishings. One of these, The Model Architect, went through five editions and was among the most widely distributed works of its kind in the history of nineteenth-century architectural publishing. As a result, Sloan's influence on the architectural environment of nineteenth-century America is so pervasive that a full accounting of the works which can be traced back to his books is almost impossible. From 1868 until 1871 Sloan also produced The Architectural Review, the first periodical in the United States devoted exclusively to architecture and its related arts and crafts and the unofficial organ of the reconstituted American Institute of Architects. In Samuel Sloan, Harold N. Cooledge, Jr. examines the social, economic, and environmental factors that influenced Sloan's personal and professional character and includes a consideration of the theorists and tastemakers whose ideas influenced Sloan's attitude toward architectural theory and practice. Cooledge then presents a chronological biography in which the majority of Sloan's important commissions are considered in detail, and as much information about his private life as could be documented is given. The book concludes with a detailed catalogue of Sloan's work. Samuel Sloan: Architect of Philadelphia 1815-1884 will be of value to architects and to scholars interested in art history, social history, and American studies.
