The supposition that the asylum would receive a large proportion of quiet patients proved true as far as the first arrivals were concerned, since, by the order of the Board of State Charities, those persons were selected for transfer who had been longest insane. The character of all subsequent transfers, however, has been largely determined by the superintendents of the hospitals from which the patients came. In making their selections, the superintendents very justly availed themselves of the ...opportunity of ridding their institutions of the more disturbing element. It thus hap- pens that a large majority of the later transfers have been violent, uois}'' and turbulent, and that, while the quiet class has received but few accessions to its ranks, its numbers have been gradually diminished by discharge and transfer, until we now have only a very small number of patients who can with safety be associated at night upon the corridors or in dormitories. It has been urged that the asylum cannot possibly be crowded with only four hundred patients, since twice at least in its history it has cared for over five hundred inmates.
