HOSPITALS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS OF THE COLONY (REPORT ON THE) BY THE INSPECTOR OF HOSPITALS.
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.
The Inspector of Hospitals and Charitable Institutions to the Hon. the Minister of Education. g IE I have the honour to lay before you the following report on the hospitals and charitable institutions of the colony for the year ended the 31st March, 1896 :— £ s. a. Total expenditure on hospitals ... ... ■•• ■ • ■ 92,926 10 & Previous year ... ... ■•• ••• ••• ••• 91,168 14 11 Increase for year ended 31st March, 1896 ... ... £1,757 15 5 Total expenditure, charitable aid ... ... ... •• • 106,536 2 0 Previous year ... ... ■•■ ■•• •■■ ••• ob,&£>o H b Increase for year ended 31st March, 1896 ... ... £19,980 13 6 Expenditure on relief-works for year ... ... ... £18,419 17 2 Wellington ... ... ... ••• ••• 3,300 18 7 Westport 172 14 0 Christchurch ... ... ••• ••• ■•• s>°o75 >° 07 £11 Timaru, Temuka, and Waimate ... ... ... 379 18 11 Oamaru 536 12 10 Dunedin 6,649 1 0 Invercargill... ... ■•• ■•• ••• ••• 1,57 a 011 £18,419 17 2 That the evil effects of our neglect to reform our method of local government are being intensified year by year is, perhaps, most clearly demonstrated by the working of our charitable-aid system The chronic conflicts between the rating and distributing bodies are becoming more and more unavoidable, as is shown by the demands for commissions of inquiry m the different ' r Suitable homes for the aged and helpless poor must be provided in all the enlarged districts to be created under a new law, together with suitable institutions to which all able-bodied loafers who refuse to work can be committed and compelled to work for fixed periods. The system of outdoor relief as at present administered, is so destructive that it cannot be tolerated much longer. As I have 'so often pointed out, it tends directly to increase pauperism. The supply creates the demand, and it increases rapidly in proportion as the administration is lax, and what can be more lax and futile than our existing system of local government. Outdoor relief " takes away from a man the incentives which nature provides to induce him to practise the virtues of prudence, economy, and thrift," and whatever commonwealth encourages it is doing its best to destroy the chief guarantee for the moral qualities of its people. It creates distress by increasing taxation, thus lowering wages and diminishing the chance of steady employment, for I—H. 22.

the money squandered thereby ought to go directly in the form of wages. It operates injuriously on the self-respecting efforts of friendly societies and other provident organisations, for it undermines the chief bond of society—the sense of family obligation. It is capricious and uncertain in its operation and, therefore, a constant source of exasperation and injustice to the poor; and, finally, its uncontrollable tendency to spread in all directions can only be checked by the offer of indoorrelief, which is the main reason why, do what we will, a workhouse test, in some form or other, is unavoidable. Our first care, therefore, must be to provide suitable homes for the aged and helpless poor, while for those willing to work, every effort should be made to find employment free from any taint of or association with pauperism. All this I have repeated year after year, and as a step towards the solution of the central difficulty in the path of improvement—namely, the adjustment of the relations between our colonial and local finance—l have pointed out that there can be no progress so long as outdoor relief is subsidised by the State. To prevent its destructive expansion at the cost of the moral degradation of our people, it must be thrown on the local rates ; and, to make this possible, alleviations must be provided in other directions. The children must first of all be dealt with and saved from contamination. Under proper safeguards to prevent the break-up of families, all neglected children ought to be made wards of the State ; they should be boarded out, under the supervision of the Education Department, and the local bodies, at present charged for their maintenance, ought to be relieved of this burden, in the hope of inducing them to take over the whole cost of outdoor relief. The State subsidy for outdoor relief must be put an end to at all hazards. The orphaned, neglected, and so-called criminal children ought to be wards of the State instead of leaving them, as at present, to be victims of our absurd system of local government. Convicted and unmanageable children are at present committed by a Stipendiary Magistrate to an industrial school, the requisite fees being chargeable to the local Charitable Aid Board, and by them recovered, if possible, from the parents. They are thus transferred to the Education Department. Orphans, neglected, and deserted children, in most of the centres, are placed out in families, their maintenance paid for by the Charitable Aid Board, or Benevolent Trustees, as the case may be, who thus accept responsibitity for the care of these little ones. Methods differ in the four larger cities. In Dunedin all children so left, or neglected, are now placed in industrial schools, the Benevolent Trustees accepting no responsibility. In Wellington there are some fifty-nine children under the immediate care of the Benevolent Trustees. Of these, eleven girls have been placed in a. cottage-home, and their maintenance paid for by the Trustees. Pew of the remaining children are in desirable homes. There is an undoubted tendency on the part of the Trustees to give these children into the care of people who have "no adequate means of support" beyond the sum paid for maintenance of children. In fact, in some cases, they appear to have been placed with residents in the slums of Wellington, as a means of keeping their foster-parents off the weekly dole and rationlist. The supervision is also ineffective, and the children are bred up as paupers. Most people with whom they are placed do not consider themselves bound to feed, clothe, and treat them as their own, but have contracted an evil custom which only leads to further pauperisation of these little ones; they apply for, and usually get, whatever clothing is requisite from the Ladies Christian Association.* In Auckland there were forty-two children on the 31st March, mostly placed out in country homes around the city. On a visit of inspection to these homes, only two were found to be unsatisfactory. The manner in which the children run to meet the relieving officer, Mr. Strathearn, shows that supervision is well carried out. In Christchurch, on the 31st March, there were seventy-two children boarded with families. There is a theoretical system of volunteer lady visitors to supervise and report to central authority once a quarter. However, this system does not seem to be in practical working order at present, and the supervision of the welfare of the boarded-out children is lax. The placing-out system, if badly administered and made mere " boarding," as in Wellington, is obviously harmful to the community but if administered " with an adequate supply of eternal vigilance," it is the most natural substitute for home-life and a mother's care, and may turn neglected children into useful citizens of the State. I would point out that the expenditure for relief-works for the unemployed amounted last year to the large sum of £18,419. Though in some instances this money has been wisely expended under adequate supervision, there is reason to fear that in many places it has been frittered away without any proportionate return. In any case, it is clear that the time has come for dealing with this recurrent difficulty in a more systematic fashion. Here, as in everything it undertakes, the weakness of our local-government system is made manifest. A letter addressed to me by Mrs. Neill, Assistant Inspector, showing how out-door relief is administered in Wellington, will be found on page 32. With a view to obtain statistics as to the working of charitable-aid relief-giving bodies in New Zealand, and more especially in the larger towns, the department has issued forms to be filled up showing, (1.) chief causes of poverty in cases relieved ; (2.) the decisions in cases of applicants for relief (whether continuous, temporary, outdoor, indoor &c.); and (3.) the number of rations given, their value, and the amount given directly in cash. Some difficulty seems to be found by the secretaries in giving the desired information, and the forms have not been returned in time for inclusion in this year's report. If, however, we are to reform our methods of relief giving, it is both desirable and necessary that there should be statistical facts and figures as a foundation. Below is copy of form issued. The local charitable-aid bodies have in no instance found themselves able to give the information desired by the department: —
* Since the above was written, the Benevolent Trustees have placed the boarded-out children under the direct care of the Ladies' Christian Association, and a system of more thorough supervision has been inaugurated.

One semi-paralysed old man has been in the institution since July last; and several of the patients were suitable for an old men's home. The wardsman has gone, and it is not thought necessary to replace him.

Visited by me on the 17th October, 1895, and 4th February, 1896; by Mrs. Neill on the 23rd October, 1895, and 13th May, 1896. The last had been a year of great turmoil at this institution, during which the evident want of discipline among the nurses culminated in a change of system. Dr. Baldwin has been appointed Medical Superintendent, and Miss Squire, Matron. I have long known Miss Squire to be a capable energetic woman, and Dr. Baldwin comes with a good record. Both have certainly undertaken a heavy task in restoring efficiency and discipline in this institution. Among the nurses a spirit of insubordination has been very prevalent, and a constant tale-bearing to persons outside. A tendency to malingering has also been evident, and a laxness in granting leave of absence for trivial reasons. Before the eight-hours system can be introduced with any chance of success this must be rigorously stopped. Towards the autumn typhoid fever has always to be counted on in Auckland, and during this period the work of the nurses, and especially the matron, is very arduous. If malingering is not stamped out the injustice to the rest of the nursing staff becomes, in these circumstances, intolerable. The improperly-laid drains in the fever-wards ought to be rectified at once. The Matron ought to have an office in the hospital, and her authority should be upheld in every way. The additional accommodation provided by the Board has met the difficulties arising from the want of a proper kitchen and laundry.

Dr. Cleghorn has established the reputation of this hospital for sound and progressive work both in medicine and surgery. Miss Rees is thoroughly efficient ; but great inconvenience has been felt from the fact that two of the four nurses have had to live in Blenheim, and walk out to their work in the morning. I hope to see a small nurses' home provided before my next visit. The inconvenient arrangement of the building causes a want of smartness in the domestic arrangements, e.g,, the wash-house is also used as a scullery, the linen-room is used for ironing and as a cloakroom for the probationers. The nurses are constantly in and out of the kitchen for hot water. There is a constant traffic in the passage outside of the night-nurses' rooms, &c.

The troubles of the year culminated in the resignation of Dr. Murray-Aynsley and Miss Maude, both of whom have done invaluable service in the reorganization of this institution. It would not serve any good purpose to say any more than has already been made public about the past. Let us hope that a more peaceful era has begun with the advent of Dr. Fox. The new ward will greatly add to the efficiency of the institution. The generosity of Mr. Marks, who has given £5,500 for its erection, ought to stimulate philanthropic citizens in the other towns of the colony.

Mr. Park has sole charge of this cottage hospital. He lives in a cottage opposite. There is no provision for night-nursing. When required an old man is hired temporarily. All the cooking is done at Park's house. He receives 12s. 6d. per week for each patient. His pay is £1 Bs. per week, with 12s. 6d. for rations, and he is paid very irregularly. The Board meets, and votes say £100 for the hospital, and another if they have it when that is used up. No instruments are provided, so that the doctor has to find what he needs. Fever and pneumonia cases are not taken in, for they would not be cared for better than in their own homes. All the serious cases that can be moved go to Auckland. A rapid increase of population is taking place, and no sanitary precautions are taken against an outbreak of typhoid. There has been a great increase of patients during the year—eighty-six as against nineteen for the year before. The percentage of cost of administration in the total expenditure s 56-90. The average daily cost per patient was 13s. 10f d.

Four visits of inspection have been made by Mrs. Neill and myself during the year. On each occasion everything was found in good order. The management as a whole, and the nursing organization are very satisfactory. Various minor nursing details were pointed out and remedied. A new laundry has been provided at a cost of £2,500. The kitchen arrangements are still in the old unsatisfactory position, and it is a matter of some difficulty to find a remedy. The proposal to build a new operating theatre, and take the existing theatre for kitchen purposes seems a very costly scheme, when it is remembered that only a few years ago the theatre was built in the wrong place at a cost of over £1,500. The thriving medical school gives this institution an interest and importance peculiarly its own, and it is very gratifying to find that it is so efficient in all its departments.

Dunstan Hospital. The addition of the new stone wing has greatly improved this hospital. The new ward, 30ft. by 18ft., is well planned, with good lighting and ventilation. A lavatory, bath-room, and earth-closet have been provided. This last will require constant attention. The passage to the new ward ought to be lined. The hospital is well attended to by Dr. Hyde, and the patients are very comfortable.

The nursing staff consists of two nurses and one probationer for day-duty, and nurse and probationer for night-duty, the adjoining cottage being used as a nurses' home. The excellent order prevailing, and the smartness of the nurses, bear evidence to the keen personal interest taken by Dr. Charles Morice in his work.

One nurse, a probationer, and a wardsman, complete the nursing staff. An isolation ward has been built, including a nurses' room, kitchen, and two closets, but without a bath-room, which could easily be included in the new buildings.

Chiefly used as an old men's home. There is a building for this purpose in the grounds, but it is unfurnished, and the old men remain as hospital patients. Upon the recent resignation of one of the nursing staff, the Board appointed a man as night-nurse without consulting either medical officer or matron. On the date of visit one poor old lady, far advanced in dropsy and heart-disease, had therefore a male night attendant. This is retrogressive nursing, and a most unsatisfactory condition of things. Miss Craig appears to carry out her duties efficiently, and the medical officer, Dr. Kendall, is attentive and interested in his work.

Invercargill Hospital, visited 29th October, 1895, and 3rd April, 1896. At my visit in October I found the nursing staff in confusion. After inquiry I concluded that it was necessary to appoint a matron who should have charge of the nursing, for certainly one cause of the existing friction was the fact that there was no recognised head. At a meeting with the Trustees I pressed the urgency of this reform. I was somewhat surprised later to find that the nurses, who had made very disquieting statements to me, failed when the opportunity was given them by the Board to give any evidence ; and also to find that Mrs. MacKay was appointed matron without calling for outside applications. I made a special visit in April, but could find nothing to justify me in objecting to Mrs. MacKay's appointment. On both occasions I found the hospital in good order.

This pleasantly-situated hospital was found in admirable order, and the patients well looked after in every way. On the date of the visit there were nine men and two women inmates. Dr. Scott is taking temporary charge during the absence of Dr. Myles. The matron, Miss McAndrew, is much liked, but her work is very arduous. She has but one assistant to help with the whole of the cleaning, washing, cooking, and sewing required, and also the responsible duties of nursing. The appointment of an assistant nurse or probationer would be of advantage to this hospital.

A man-hole should be made at the corner of the hedge, in the line of the main drain, and a 6in. ventilating-pipe placed at the corner of the kitchen.

There were seven patients in the hospital. The patients spoke highly of Mr. and Mrs. Williams' kindness.

Indeed it would be difficult to imagine a better illustration of the undoubted benefits of publicity and some of its drawbacks than is afforded by the history of this institution in recent years. The censorship of the press is extremely alert and vigilant. The hospital is well managed in every respect. Dr. Leahy is a very satisfactory house surgeon, and the matron, Miss Tutin, is all that could be desired. The staff is necessarily larger than would be required if the wards had been built to accommodate twenty or twenty-four patients instead of twelve. The nurses' home is comfortable, but already too small. A great improvement has been effected by replacing the old insanitary earth-closets in the hospital by water-closets of the best pattern.

The female ward at the south end, with room for six beds, had four patients, and was in excellent order. The old female ward has been converted into a very comfortable women's sitting-room. A fine new range has been put in the kitchen. The state of this hospital is very creditable to Dr. Church and Mr. and Mrs. King.

It is a cheerful, comfortable institution, and all the patients spoke well of their treatment. There has been a slight increase in the number of patients treated during the year, and a slight diminution of the individual average day's stay. The daily cost per head has increased from 4s. 7|d. to ss. 2d.

This hospital has been inspected twice during the year—once by Mrs. Neill and once by myself. At the last visit the number of patients was eight men and three women. To attend to these the staff consisted of a matron (trained in Auckland Hospital), one senior nurse, two assistant nurses, two probationers, and one wardsman. The washing is all sent out. A dispenser comes up daily from the shop of the contractor for drugs. Of course sometimes there is a much larger number of patients, and the staff has to be maintained at such a level as will enable these to be attended to. The isolation-ward is very little used, and the cottage is not used at all. I have formerly pointed out the difficulty of draining this institution. The methods of disposing of the night-soil have been improved, but no comprehensive scheme has yet been introduced.

Picton Hospital, 27th September, 1895, and 27th January, 1896. At the last inspection this hospital contained eleven men and one woman, all of whom spoke highly of the care and kindness with which they were treated. A homely and comfortable air pervades the place. The dissensions in the Board about the management seem to have settled down. The reforming party, headed by Mr. Fell, who has retired from the chairmanship, appear to have failed to carry their aims, and Dr. Scott and Mr. and Mrs. Bowden are still in charge.

The male ward contains ten and the female ward six beds. The patients numbered eleven. The water-tanks ought to be placed much higher and pipes laid all round the building. The whole of the wards were in good order, and the hospital as a whole very satisfactory.

The male side has a rather untidy appearance. Mr. Thompson is rather careless in this respect. I think the time has come when a capable matron should be put in charge of the inf titution. The doctor is regular in his visits.

Thames Hospital, 7th November, 1895, and 7th February, 1896. As soon as possible a new hospital should be built on a more salubrious site than the present, which is low-lying, and too small for such a building as the promising future of this district requires. The existing hospital is badly arranged, and thoroughly worn-out in parts. Aconsiderable improvement has been effected by moving the kitchen further back, as well as the hitherto objectionable closets. The fever hospital is inconveniently situated, and during the typhoid season seems to require special nursing arrangements. The medical work is well attended to, and the nursing is good. If a new hospital is to be built a competent architect ought to be employed, the contract let by tender, and special care taken to secure an independent clerk of works.

This hospital is a model of management. The medical attendance is divided among three of the town practitioners, who perform their duties very satisfactorily. One very good result of this arrangement is that owing to the knowledge of the people's circumstances the pauperising effect of the outpatients' department is minimised. The great defect of the building is that the closets, bathrooms, &c, open directly off the wards. These accessories ought to be placed in projections at the angles, and connected by short passages with efficient cross ventilation.

From the bearing of the nurses, the deft way they do the dressings, and their other work, and the admirable order manifest throughout, it is clear that Dr. Kenny spares no pains in their training. The nurses' quarters need repapering and doing up, whilst the addition of a sitting-room would greatly add to their comfort. '

This is a well-managed, homely, and comfortable institution. The staff consists of Dr. Cook, acting as locum tenens (a very satisfactory one) during Dr Barclay's absence, Miss Chapman the matron assisted by two young nurses, and a wardsman. The chief drawbacks are the badly-placed and ill-ventilated closets, and the lack of sufficient bathing accommodation. A beautiful new glass operating-table has been procured from America by private subscription. There is a fine large detached ward little used, also a detached smoking-room for the men.

It would be hard to improve on the care taken in the management of this institution, and the resulting comfort of all concerned. To visit it is always a pleasure, and there is nothing to find fault with. The large new ward, with its lavatories and bathroom, is a great improvement on the former arrangements. Ido not know any hospital where, with such a small staff (the matron, one day-nurse, and one night-nurse, and wardsman), such good results are attained. Since the above visit Mr. and Mrs. Putman have resigned, after long and faithful service. This has entailed changes in the staff and the appointment of another matron.

The noble liberality of the people of the district has enabled the trustees to complete the new hospital according to the admirable design of Mr. Atkins, and the institution, which will shortly be ready for occupation, will be a credit to the district. It would be a great thing for the colony if the example of self-help, set by the Wanganui district, were followed in the Thames and other parts of the country.

This hospital continues to prosper exceedingly under Dr. Ewart's care. lam glad that the trustees have succeeded in retaining his services, which are invaluable to the people of this town, though I am obliged still to lift the voice of warning against what I cannot but call the abuse of the out-patient system, which has attained such unwholesome dimensions in consequence of his popularity. As I have pointed out to the chairman and treasurer, no such energy in recovering maintenance-cost from patients is exercised as in some of the other large hospitals, notably in Auckland. The hospital, as a whole, is a credit to the city.

Westport Hospital, 14th June, 1896. This hospital is little more than a refuge for aged men ; and the evils attendant upon this dual system of hospital and refuge are very apparent. On the date of visit, two young lads in for hospital treatment were closely associated with old men of various characters. One so-called patient, aged fifty-seven, of filthy habits, with no functional disease whatever, had been discharged three times in the last twelve months for insubordination and misconduct. He is then taken up by the police for vagrancy, and readmitted to his very comfortable quarters in hospital. There is no nursing staff at all. The hospital is managed by a steward, assisted by a wardsman, laundress, and cook. If a female patient is admitted, the laundress is expected to look after her.

Eotorua Sanatorium, 11th February and 13th May, 1896. A great deal of confusion exists in the public mind regarding this institution, owing to the fact that the sanatorium proper, for which alone this department is responsible, is equipped only for persons who are unable to afford the abundant and comfortable accommodation provided by private enterprise for the ordinary tourist. The existing baths have not sufficient accommodation, nor are they fitted up to meet the requirements of the tourist travellers. Only the bare necessaries are provided for the use of hospital patients in the first instance, and thereafter for such resident invalids as can be provided for. This causes great discontent and frequent complaints of the want of conveniences for tourists; and there is constant dissatisfaction with Dr. Ginders's want of attention to visitors. No fault can be found with the management of the sanatorium, which is well looked after in every respect; but it has become clear that, owing to advancing years and characteristic want of push on the doctor's part, entirely new arrangements must be made to meet in a comprehensive and systematic way the needs of the rapidly-increasing invalid visitors. To this end, however, the first thing is to develop the bathing arrangements, and thereafter to appoint an experienced and specially-skilled medical expert in balneology. In any case, the roofs of the Priest's and Eachel Baths must at once be repaired. Fresh water ought to be laid on at the Postmaster's Bath, and a female attendant provided. The concrete should be repaired in the ladies' baths, and the lighting at night should be improved. A comprehensive drainage scheme is required, to prevent Eotorua becoming a focus of typhoid fever.
GHAEITABLB INSTITUTIONS. Costlby Home, Auckland. Mr. and Mrs. Moss maintain a high standard of cleanliness and comfort. The food is plentiful and well-cooked, and throughout the home, more especially in the women's wards, there is a cheery atmosphere not usual in similar institutions. All laundry-work for the Auckland Hospital is done at the Costley Home, and the work is increasingly heavy for the small number employed. The average weekly cost per head is 6s. 1-fd.

Thames. The Old Men's Home has been recently removed-from the hospital grounds to a better situation at Tararu, where a house in the vicinity has been purchased for the accommodation of women and married couples. The latter is kept clean and in good order, but in the male department there is very great room for improvement. The bathing arrangements are unsatisfactory, and there is need for the erection of a wash-house or laundry. Also, there should be better provision made for the sick and helpless. The average weekly cost per head is ss. lOfd. Waikato. This old men's home is situated within the hospital grounds at Hamilton West, and its inmates have the advantage of tendance by the trained nurses from the hospital. The rooms were clean and in good order. The average weekly cost per head is 7s. G-isbokne Old Men's Home. Arrangements are entirely unsatisfactory. On the date of my visit there were eight men, all suitable cases. Beds and bedding fair; much improved since last year in point of cleanliness. The average weekly cost per head is 12s. Bd. Napieb Old Men's Refuge. I can only repeat the opinion expressed in my last year's report that this building has outlived its usefulness. It is impossible, owing to the situation, to provide rhe inmates with light and healthful occupation in garden or field. However, the most is made of the limited space, cleanliness and order prevail, and the inmates have the appearance of being well-cared for and comfortable. The average weekly cost per head is 6s. 1-J-d. New Plymouth. The-management here is not methodical. Some aged persons of both sexes are in a home in the hospital grounds, and other old men are at Tenui. The women's quarters were clean and tidy, but the men were apparently without control or discipline of any kind. Eations of about the value of 3s. are given to them weekly, with Is. for tobacco. It was said that an old man caretaker was to be appointed shortly. The average weekly cost per head is 4s. lid. Wanganui Old Men's Home. The building is suitable, and the whole place in good order at my last visit. Several written complaints had reached me. These I communicated to the Chairman of the Board, and understand that they have been remedied. The average weekly cost per head is ss. sd. Wellington Home fob Aged Needy. The admirable and home-like arrangements of the house of rest for aged colonists deserve all commendation. It is pleasant to note the interest taken in this institution by many Wellington residents. The average weekly cost per head is 6s. 4d. Wellington Benevolent Institution, Ohieo Eoad. Mr. and Mrs. McCleary keep this institution up to the mark in order and cleanliness. A few rooms have been added since last year, but the accommodation available is still too restricted. The requirements of Wellington in the direction of shelter for casual and permanent destitute persons are ever increasing, whilst, unfortunately, the situation chosen for the Ohiro Eoad Home makes enlargment a costly matter, nor does it give room for light occupation in the way of land-cultivation by the inmates. The average weekly cost per head is ss. BJd. Convalescent Home, Wellington. This is a most comfortable and pleasant home of rest for convalescing invalids of both sexes, and in every respect well-managed. There were only two inmates at the date of my last visit. It seems strange that comparatively few avail themselves of the advantages of this home. Jubilee Home, Woolston. It is pleasant to visit this cheerful home. Miss Higgins makes a kind and efficient matron and the female inmates are thoroughly well-cared for. There is a marked improvement this year on the male side. The ward allotted to the infirm and helpless, and placed under special care of a nurse, is an excellent feature in the home. The average weekly cost per head is 7s. lid. Ashbubton Old Men's Home. Conditions here are growing more and more unsatisfactory. As I have frequently reported, the building is old and unsuitable, whilst the close proximity of the institution to the township adds difficulties to the management and discipline. The average weekly cost per head is 6s. id. Timabu. There were thirteen inmates, all men, at date of visit. The building is old, but is kept clean and in good order, and the most is made of the small piece of land attached. The average weekly cost per head is 10s. ljd.

Otago Benevolent Institution, Cavebsham. The opening of the fine new wards adds much to the efficiency of this institution, which is now one of the best-arranged homes for the aged destitute in New Zealand. Mr. and Mrs. Mcc keep the place, both inside and outside, in excellent order. Some improvement might be made in the dining hall; it is both cold and cheerless. A new laundry is urgently needed. The average weekly cost per head is ss. 3|d. Inveecaegill. There were forty-eight men and fourteen women inmates on the date of my last visit. A new ward, including a lavatory, had been added over the kitchen to accommodate sixteen inmates. The institution as a whole is satisfactorily managed. The average weekly cost per head is 6s.
The following is the letter with regard to outdoor relief in Wellington, referred to on page 2 :— Sib,— Wellington, 10th July, 1896. I desire to call your attention to the large and increasing outlay of the Wellington Benevolent Trustees. During last month 17,040 rations were dispensed; also, according to printed return for June, the disbursement of cash — rent-money, keep of children, transportation, &c. —■ amounted to over £60 per week. Such an enormous amount in cash and kind doled out by the Benevolent Trustees in Wellington week by week must necessarily have a harmful effect upon the community by pauperising applicants and taxing the struggling and independent. When once a family is entered on the books it is but rarely that they ever again become self-dependent. All experience teaches us that the habit of applying for relief on the slightest pretence is easily acquired and not easily eradicated. The relief to be granted, its kind, the amount, and the period for which it is to be given, are decided in a sort of haphazard method by members of the Board at their weekly meetings. This is utterly discouraging to the really unhappy and destitute, and most encouraging to brazen-faced beggars of the female sex. The clerical-work necessary to record statistical details for legislative use has quite outgrown the staff employed. However willing one man may be to work early and late in the endeavour to overtake the demands upon him it is beyond his power. Mr. Johnson's long local experience is most valuable to the Trustees, but the time has come when he should have further clerical assistance. A lady has recently been appointed to assist Mr. Johnson, but she is not required to help in keeping a systematic record of cases beyond a meagre report in a book of visits made ; she has no desk in the office, nor is she required to give her whole time to the duties. To save cost in management at the expense of efficiency is false economy. It is heartbreaking to know the struggles and efforts of many in Wellington to " keep off the books of the Benevolent," and then to attend on a Tuesday afternoon and see able-bodied women get rentmoney and rations for the asking. Of course, the charity-aided woman can wear finer clothes ; she can take in work, or keep lodgers at a cheaper rate than her more self-respecting neighbour, whilst her landlord is lenient, knowing that at any rate a portion of his rent is secure, owing to the openhanded generosity of our Benevolent Trustees when dealing with other people's money. Although giving individual members and officers of the Wellington Benevolent Trustees every credit for well-meaning intentions, and for time and labour bestowed, I am obliged to report on their collective inadequacy to deal with this problem of charitable aid from a broad standpoint. The operation of the Act has to a large extent eliminated the local individual subscriber to this charity, and those that remain seem perfectly apathetic as to their representation on the Board. -1 would respectfully suggest that some alteration be made in the representation of the citizens of Wellington on the Board of the charitable body, for the right and economic distribution of charitable aid is an important factor in the well-being of our city. I have, &c, Gbace Neill, To the Inspector-General. Assistant Inspector of Hospitals and Asylums. D. MacGeegob, M.A., M.8., Inspector of Asylums and Hospitals.
