Trumbull Says Dis-: closures of Dr. Osborne’s Inquiry Seem “Incred- ible”—Many Other Con- ditions Criticized Lengthy Finding. —_—— Hartford, March 28 (#—"Prac- tically all agencies that have a bear- ing on the health of the hoys have fallen short of rendering their max imum service, largely from lack of competent supervision and hecause in of failure to coordinate efforts with those of other agencies concerned with different aspects of the same | problem,” is a conclusion of the state department of health in a sec- ond severe indictment of the Con- necticut School for Boys, and con- tained in a report of a survey of the school. Report Given Trumbull The report was filed with Gov- ernor Trumbull Thursday afternoon by Dr. Stanley H. Osborne, tsate commissioner of health. Smallpox vacinnate found in use at the school was stamped with the expiration date of April 1§, 1922, the department of health survey dle- closes, and as vaccine should not be used after the expiration date, that used at the school has been worth- less for a number of years. It was also found that some of the drugs in the medicine cabinct in the in- firmary had been. there for more than 30 years. After reading the rcport of the slate department of health on con- ditions in the school, Goyernor John H. Trumbull, who réquested the sur- vey be made, declared that it seemi- od incredible that such conditions could exist in the school without the lnowledge of those responsible for the conduct of the institution, The survey included a study with | reference to the medical, psychiatric and sanitary engineering aspects of the health problem, and in none of them has the school heen found to sfactory condition. In fact the condition as revealed by the state department but serves to bear out the harsh criticism of the school made earlier in the weeck by the special commission appointed by the governor to investigate conditions at the school. Suggest Admission Building The department of health, in ree- ommendations made to the gov- ernor, among other things suggest to the governor the construction of a modern admission building which may also be utilized as a hospital, and the attendance of a physician trained in psychiatry and child suidance ,and also a psychiatric so- cial worker. Ample oportpunity for healthy exercise, a revision of moral train- ing, banning of present methods of punishment, and changes in the | parole methods are also recom- | mnended. I The report of the state depart- ment of health consists of 26 T | and indicates that medical treat- | ments for the hoys was a haphazard arrangement at best, and was sup- plied for the most part by a nurse, without bothering to call a doctor, (Continued on Page Two) CREOSOTE GOCKTAIL BLAMED IN PARALYSIS “Crude Carbolic Acid Also Found in Ginger Liquid ‘Analysis i Washington, March 2§ (A—Prohi- | “bition Commissioner Doran . an- nounced today that bootleggers who | sold a concoction of creosote or | crude carbolic acid, flavored with ginger, were responsible for the sev- cral bundred cases of paralysis in the south and southwest sections of the country.
