Care Of The Insane

(By Rev. T. F. Ryan, S.J.)

It is an alarming commentary on conditions in the East when the building of a large institution in Shanghai for the care of the insane should have to be described as ploneer work. Yet it can be so described. But it is pioneering on a noble scale. The new institution consists of seven buildings which will

accommodate five hundred patients, and it is the latest of the long series of public benents due,

The origin of the undertaking is interesting. The son of a friend was stricken with mental affiction and, as friend" of all the sick and needy, it fell to Le Pa Hong to try to do something for him. Then he found that nothing could be done, as there was no adequate provision for such cases. Being the man that he is, Lo Pa Bong set about stitution shortly to be opened is remedying the lack, and the in-

In Japan it is one in 400 and editorial opinion in the China Medical Journal" (Vol 34, p. 104) put it at about the same figure in China, On this estimate, there-would-be-upwards of a million insane persons in the country. Though it might be im- agined that the more placid life of China would not produce the same ill effects as the high pressure of Western dtles, yet the prevalence of certain diseases and the lack of proper treatment of minor forms of mental affection act at least as à counterbalance. The conclusion therefore seems safe that insanity is as common in China as it is in the West..

-I was very Interested in the article "Football Squabbles" which appeared in to-day's issue of your paper and agree with you on certain of your observations, particularly that, which states that in the majority of cases, the squabbles are prompted by racial feelings more than anything else.
