The Honourable G. S. Pearson,
Provincial Secretary,
Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C
Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith for your consideration the Seventy-
fifth Annual Report of the Provincial Mental Hospitals at Essondale, New Westminster,
and Saanich.
The following table gives a brief summary of the movement of the hospital population during the year April 1st, 1946, to March 31st, 1947:—

ADMISSIONS.
An analysis of the birth column shows that, of the number admitted, 485 (or 55.11
per cent.) were Canadian born, 226 (or 25.68 per cent.) were from other parts of the
British Empire, and 164 (or 18.63 per cent.) were of foreign extraction; 5 were
unknown.
DISCHARGES.
The following table clearly shows that the earlier cases are brought to the hospital
for treatment following the onset of their mental illness, the greater are the chances
of their recovery:—
Table showing Alleged Duration of Insanity, prior to Admission, in those discharged from the Three Institutions during the Year April 1st, 1946, to
March 31st, 1947.
Less than six months 302
Over six months 192
Not insane 7
Duration unknown 99
Total 600 S 10 MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT, 1946-47.
During the year a total of 600 patients were discharged in full. Of this number,
97 were discharged as recovered, 270 were discharged as improved, 226 were discharged
as unimproved, and 7 were discharged as not insane.
There has been a gradual change taking place in psychiatry. At last it is coming
into its rightful place in medicine. The advances in treatment over the last few years
are most noteworthy. Unfortunately a situation has arisen that is indeed disturbing.
The demand for service is far in advance of facilities for carrying it out. For instance,
the requests for treatment and care of young children and of the aged are becoming
greater and greater. These requests which are made to us are for the most part, and
to say the least, heart-rending.
The human mind is quite resilient and freely adapts itself to the ever-changing
conditions of life. People overcome difficulties they encounter, showing plainly that
man's resistance to mental illness is very strong. The load of psychiatric cases is
large, and yet one feels that there is a tendency on the part of people to dwell on
psychological " jargon " and imagine that illness exists when the findings do not bear
this opinion out. Too much stress in public education is not a good thing until facilities
are actually provided for patient care.
There is a growing opinion that in the treatment of individual psychiatric cases
the whole situation should be assayed—heredity, home training, home environment,
school, business, and recreational attainments. This is as it should be, with the result
that more and more is being accomplished in treatment.
A hospital for the treatment of mental illness is necessarily large, yet its hand
should be strengthened by barriers set up to treat prospective cases early and prevent
as many as possible from ever having to come to the hospital. In order to do this, we
should have a proper out-patient clinic for the treatment of adults who are beginning
to develop mental illness. When staff is available, it is our intention to further increase
our clinics for the handling of children who are behaviour problems. This clinic at
the present time is accomplishing much in this regard.
The average number of admissions annually for the past ten years to this hospital
is 831. This figure we expect to rise in the future, following the war period. Therefore, we will treat in the next ten-year period at least 10,000. The new admission
clinic you now have under construction here will enable the medical staff to treat these
patients more intensely and under more favourable conditions. Your idea of only
admitting for a period of four months should work out splendidly for the patients and
should also lessen the number of hospital-days. There is much unrest in the world
at the present day, but it is pleasing indeed to work with the medical men here and to
see the whole-hearted way in which they tackle the tasks and the amount they accomplish
even under handicapped conditions.
The teaching of doctors, nurses, and attendants has always been carried on, but
now there is a gradual increase in the students of medicine, psychology, social service,
and laboratory. Trained personnel is difficult to obtain. Teaching benefits not only
the students, but also enables us to obtain desirable employees.
Up to the present time we have not been able to engage in research projects.
TREATMENT.
(a) Insulin shock therapy has been carried out during the year in quarters that
had become too small, yet the over-all picture that is set out below in the table is
gratifying. Arrangements are being made to utilize dormitory space, so that we
can treat cases earlier who otherwise would have to wait their turn:— SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

relieve tensions. The results are shown in the following table:—

not regarded as a " cure-all," yet it is proving itself well as time goes on:—

(d) The neurosurgeons have devoted some time to the study of lobotomy, with the
result that a very worthy treatment has developed. In this hospital it has been used
with the most advanced cases where all other forms of treatment have failed, and
Dr. Frank Turnbull has done very excellent work in this regard. The table below
shows that the results are most encouraging. It is now felt that it will be of value in
early cases which offer a grave prognosis. Lobotomy is not limited to the field of
mental illness, but is used in other ways, sometimes where severe and prolonged pain
exists. S 12 MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT, 1946-47.

Dr. Milton Jones has had a busy year in the dental department. He has done
much and valued work, and the various fields of dentistry have been well handled.
He has had great experience in his study, which he has brought to bear in his duties,
and his work has been much appreciated.
The optometrist has accomplished much in aiding the patients with glasses, repairs,
etc. More and more reading is taking place with the advent of Miss Irving, our
librarian.
The beauty-parlor has suffered less on account of obtaining staff, and, in consequence, the work has been more satisfactory to the patients. It is a very important
phase of hospital life and adds to the general tone of feeling.
The training-school, under Miss Parsons, the director of nursing, has been very
busy as more and more demands have been placed upon it, and we are gradually
strengthening. Miss Pullan has done well in her department as instructress. She
has studied in the advanced fields of nursing and is now, as her assistants return from
postgraduate courses at McGill, better able to cope with our extended program in
teaching. The shortage of accommodation for nurses has been a handicap, especially
in view of staffing our new clinical building. It has been even more difficult to obtain
nurses lately than it was during the war period.
The child guidance clinic personnel has been increased and, in consequence, the
volume of work done has been greater. We are conscious that more must be done to
aid those requiring treatment, and that it must be made more accessible for those to
obtain it who live in more distant districts as well as those in places of greater population. This has not been easy, due to the difficulty of getting trained staff; however,
it is gradually being accomplished. It will be seen from the report attached that
regular clinics are held in Vancouver and Victoria, and also at much more distant
places. It is very pleasing to see what the staff has really accomplished, and the great
interest shown wherever the clinics are held.
The occupational department, on both the male and female service, has done a great
deal for the patients, as well as aiding the hospital in no small degree. In the treatment of mental illness, keeping the patients interested and employed means a happier
unit. One sees a good deal of talent amongst them; a sample of their work is not only
good, but surprisingly so in many cases. We think now in terms of not only avocation
but also vocation. As staff is available, this service is showing a healthy growth. In
this important undertaking Miss Weekes and Mr. Hall are really doing very well.
The laboratory unit is gradually expanding and is serving the doctors greatly in
aiding with the teaching, which is so important. It is our purpose to stress this phase,
so that we have applied to have this department rated as a recognized teaching laboratory. We conduct regular clinico-pathological conferences. A splendid pathological
museum is being rapidly developed and will be housed in the new clinical building.
More and varied work has been done during the year, as shown in the tables attached. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. S 13
The physiotherapy department has functioned well during the year and has helped
materially in the general treatment. Further details of this valuable work are noted
in the table found elsewhere in this report.
The volume of X-ray work done at the institution has grown considerably, and it
has greatly assisted in the treatment of the patients. The over-all amount of work
done falls favourably within the amount needed in hospital classification.
The department of psychology is being built up under the direction of Mr. Watson,
in spite of being short-handed. The increased function of this field is essential, not
only to give a better view of the capability, personality, and attitude of those under
treatment, but also in the teaching of the many and varied students here and the
different groups coming here for lectures and clinics. The important and good work
done by the Child Guidance Clinic is also set out in an extensive table attached to this
report.
Mr. Brown, in charge of the recreation for the patients, has done excellent work in
this department. The hospital life of the patient is entirely changed. There is more
to look forward to in the field of pleasant and beneficial activities, so necessary in
institutional life. It is greatly appreciated by the patients themselves, as well as their
relatives and friends.
Mr. Walker, in charge of the audio-visual department, has given the patients
picture shows with the 35-mm. machines and, in addition, sends around the 16-mm.
machine to the various wards housing patients, many of whom would otherwise be
deprived of this pleasure. It has indeed been a great joy to the patients and sweeps
away the monotony of illness. He also greatly aids by supplying music, both inside and
out. Not the least important part of his work is assisting in the teaching program.
In the social service department it has been very difficult to build up sufficient staff
for our own social service. This department has been very active, and Miss Leigh has
consistently worked to give Miss Kilburn, in charge of the service here, proper staff to
carry on the work, which is such a great aid to both patients and hospital. It not only
helps with detailed histories for medical study, but assists the patients and relatives
during convalescent leave, and it is a wonderful comfort to troubled relatives. A detailed
report is to be seen elsewhere.
CHANGES IN STAFF.
P. Walker, I.S.O., former Deputy Provincial Secretary, who guided the work of the
mental hospitals among his many and varied duties, retired on June 30th, 1946. To
those of us who enjoyed the privilege of working with him, we carry many pleasant
memories of our associations together. His judgment on matters arising in the course
of duty could always be relied upon as being sound. Mr. Walker was born in London,
England, on March 28th, 1880. It was in 1897 that he arrived in British Columbia,
and on June 6th, 1907, entered the service of this Province. He commenced his duties
as clerk in the Provincial Secretary's office, became chief clerk in 1910, and Deputy
Provincial Secretary on December 1st, 1928. He held this position with distinction
until his retirement on June 30th, 1946. He was deservedly recognized for his good
work by having bestowed on him the Imperial Service Order.
Gowan S. Macgowan, business manager of the institution, retired on superannuation after forty years of continuous service in that position. He left the staff in
splendid health and was very active. This is a wonderful accomplishment. He was
born in Charlottetown, P.E.I., on February 18th, 1882. When he was 10 years of age,
the family moved to St. Paul, Minnesota. After finishing school, he started work with
the Canadian Immigration Service in St. Paul. In May, 1901, he came to Vancouver
and joined the staff of W. S. Macgowan & Co., New Westminster, and was with them
until 1907, when he entered the Civil- Service as Assistant Assessor and Collector of S 14 MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT, 1946-47.
Taxes for the District of New Westminster and Yale. In 1908 he was transferred
from the Finance Department to the position of bursar of the mental hospital. This
makes a lengthy and successful service of forty-six years, which is something of a
record.
This year there have been many more changes in the staff than is usual. Mr.
Watson returned to the staff after serving overseas. He formerly was in psychology
at the clinic, but, as the load is much heavier, he has taken over the direction of
psychology and the educational program at Essondale, with Dr. Davidson as clinical
director.
Many of our staff reaching the age of superannuation were retired. They were
old and trusted employees whom it takes time to replace. Those of us who have had
the pleasure of working with them certainly miss the presence of their company,
together with the high type of service they performed. It is not possible to write of
them individually, but the list is given below:—
Essondale.—T. Weeks, paymaster; W. G. Armour, baker; J. L. Malcolm, chief
engineer; T. Hockey, engineer; J. Mitchell, cook; L. Bovet, cook; I. Watts, deputy
chief attendant; E. English, attendant; W. R. Berry, attendant; Mrs. Monteith,
seamstress; Mrs. F. A. Jefferson, supervisor, nurses' home. Public Works: A. Tanner,
carpenter; D. H. Stewart, carpenter; J. A. Young, painter; W. Knorr, painter; G.
Wingrove, mason; D. A. McMillan, painter; C Vaughn, maintenance; W. J. Scott,
maintenance; M. J. Hughes, fire chief; J. Saunders, carpenter.
New Westminster.—C. Monteith, chief attendant; E. Swarbrick, attendant; R.
Harvey, baker; T. Archibald, engineer; Mrs. A. R. Hood, seamstress; G. Carruthers,
tailor. Public Works: R. Gow, carpenter; W. Powell, painter.
Saanich—K. Field, charge attendant; J. W. Fulton, charge attendant.
COMMENTS.
It was arranged with Professor Cameron of McGill University, in the Department
of Psychiatry, to send our doctors in turn for a period of three months postgraduate
study. The doctors who haVe already had this course have received great satisfaction
from it, and in consequence our service in turn has shown much improvement.
In order to build our teaching and expand our course in the school of nursing, a
few chosen nurses are having a year's instruction in psychiatric nursing at McGill.
A school of nursing must have a course which is acceptable to the Canadian Association
of Nursing, and it is to meet these requirements that we are building up our school.
We have, during the year, obtained the services of Dr. Ardeth Robertson. It has
long been our wish to have a lady physician, and Dr. Robertson is now on our permanent
staff.
The clinical director, Dr. Allan Davidson, with the assistance of Mr. Watson, is
building up a physicians' study course, and regular study seminars are set out and
closely followed. The appointment of a graduate librarian, Miss Irving, took place
on March 3rd, 1947, and she is building up a library for both patients and staff.
There is a deep need of proper housing for children under the age of 6. One
hesitates to think of children of such tender years coming to a mental hospital, but one
finds very distressing home unhappiness in the many cases where mothers, already
overburdened with the care of their normal children, find themselves, in addition, having
to look after one or more subnormal children. In some instances the grief in the home
is beyond human endurance. A fire-proof unit for the treatment of young children is
certainly indicated. It is a difficult situation, as they come in numbers and have to be
held in such numbers even on our adult admitting wards. A unit for this purpose could
be placed in our New Westminster branch.
There is an ever-increasing demand for accommodation for those in the other
extreme of age; namely, those who have reached 70 years and over. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. S 15
In the problem of caring for the mentally ill, a proper layout for the treatment of
the early and pre-psychotic adult patients is required. This entails a modest start in
an area that permits of expansion as time goes on. In this area also children can be
treated and observed as facilities are added.
Now that the splendid admitting clinic at Essondale is well on in its construction,
it would aid greatly to have a building at Essondale to treat the female patients who
suffer from very active psychoses and exacerbations of more acute phases.
It would be well again to consider the establishment of a new institution for mental
illness now that Essondale has grown well beyond that point for which it was erected.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
I would like to tender my very sincere thanks to all members of our large staff for
their faithful work in connection with the running of the hospital. I would especially
like to bring to your favourable attention the valuable and untiring efforts of Dr.-Ryan
and Dr. Gee, whose loyal co-operation and able knowledge have done so much to aid in
the progress of the hospital.
It is not possible to mention by name all those who have by their faithful service
assisted in the work of the hospital, but I would like at this time to express our appreciation of what they have done, and are doing, for our institution.
The returned soldier organizations continue to help the veterans in many ways—
by extra comforts, entertainment, rehabilitation, etc., and it is gratifying to know that
they can always be relied upon to interest themselves in a fellow comrade.
Our thanks are due to the various members of the Provincial Police Department
who are ever-ready to afford us their fullest co-operation whenever it is requested.
Our branch at New Westminster which cares for the subnormal type of patient is
doing excellent work under the guidance of Dr. L. E. Sauriol. Regular school classes
are held by graduate teachers. The children do remarkably well and show a great
interest in their studies. They are also receiving increased entertainment and have
done splendidly in occupational therapy. They are happier, healthier, more cheerful,
and enjoy their busy life, and great credit is due to those in charge.
I would also like to mention with grateful thanks the work of Mr. Morris, the
supervisor at Colquitz. This unit is a difficult one, as it houses the insane criminals
and criminally insane. There has been extraordinarily little difficulty experienced in
caring for this particular type, and one feels this is due in great measure to the splendid,
management of its supervisor.
I would also wish to make mention of Mr. Macgowan, the business manager, whose
task, with rising costs, has not been an easy one. He has always had remarkable
prescience of what may be expected, and in consequence we have suffered very few
shortages either in food or materials. When one considers the size of the hospital and
the numbers involved, this is most praiseworthy.
Lastly, to you, sir, and to the Deputy Minister and the officers of the Public Works
Department, I would like to express my grateful thanks for all that you have done to
help the hospital maintain its program. We are proud that, in spite of many difficulties,
we have retained our standard, and realize that it is only because of the sincere interest
and co-operation of the Department this has been possible.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,

TRAINING-SCHOOL OFFICE REPORT.
The Provincial Mental Hospital school of nursing completed the fiscal year ended
March 31st, 1947, with the following personnel: Registered nurses, 13; mental graduates, 39; nurses-in-training, 182—making a total staff of 235. Resignations for the
year numbered 205 and replacements 207. A large number of appointments and
resignations are summer relief.
This year has been even more difficult, with regard to staff, than preceding years
have been. With more specific therapy, new wards opened, overcrowded conditions,
and a large turnover of staff, senior members are finding their responsibilities even
greater and hours long. We are greatly looking forward to the forty-four-hour week,
when we feel our staff will be a more stabilized one.
Several changes have taken place in the training-school office. Miss H. Lipsey
returned from the New Westminster branch and replaced Mrs. B. Burton as assistant
director of nurses. Miss K. Soames resigned to take another position. Miss M. Thiemann has taken over a position as head supervisor in the female building. Miss A.
Kirkham and Mrs. A. Palvesky, having completed the one-year course in psychiatric
nursing at McGill University, have returned, and are valuable members of our staff. S 24 MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT, 1946-47.
The teaching department has progressed very favourably, and much has been
accomplished within the year. Twenty-six nurses received their diplomas in psychiatric
nursing after a three-year course. Two registered nurses completed the six months'
course in postgraduate study. Certificates were awarded fifty-one male students from
Essondale and nine from the New Westminster branch.
Forty-eight students from four general hospitals and three degree students from
the University of British Columbia completed the two months' affiliation course in
psychiatric nursing. Special classes were given to one hundred psychology students,
ninety-five public health and fifty educational students from the University of British
Columbia. Eighteen nurses from the public health division of the University of British
Columbia were given one week of active observation and instruction in the different
departments of the hospital. This heavy class program has placed greater demands
upon the heads of wards as well as the teaching department.
More recreation facilities are available, and many staff members have enjoyed
dances, badminton, swimming, tennis, picnics, etc. A new recreation-hall will greatly
relieve the recreational needs of all staff.
Again may we thank those who have given so freely of their time and counsel.
We are much indebted to the medical staff, nursing staff, and other personnel who have
helped in the running of the training-school through a difficult year.

SOCIAL SERVICE REPORT.
CHILD GUIDANCE CLINICS.
A. L. Crease, Esq., M.D., CM.,
Director of Mental Hygiene and Psychiatry,
Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, B.C.
Sir,—Attached herewith is a consolidated summary of the work done in the child
guidance clinics throughout the Province from April 1st, 1946, to March 31st, 1947.
Regular clinics were held in Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, New Westminster,
Chilliwack, Penticton, and Vernon. In addition, clinics were held for the first time
in Nelson, Prince Rupert, Prince George, Cranbrook, and Kamloops. The clinic was
received with enthusiastic interest in these areas and with requests for repeat visits
as soon as practicable.
There has been a definite increase in the number of clinics held, the number of
repeat cases seen, and in the number of psychiatric interviews. An outstanding
advance has been in the number of consulting conferences held and in the number of
agencies availing themselves of the services of the clinic.
There continues to be a noticeable scarcity of trained personnel. It has not been
possible to complete the four psychiatric teams as outlined in last year's report.
Nevertheless, through the co-operation of the Department of Welfare, more psychiatric
social workers have been made available. Thus it has been possible to provide a more
complete service to the cases that have been seen at the clinic.
The most urgent needs of the clinic at the present time are:—
(1) Opening the Victoria clinic on a full-time basis. This would provide a
greater service to the residents of Victoria and Vancouver Island. At the
same time it would relieve the present travelling team, enable it to make
more frequent visits to the Interior, and assist in relieving the pressure
on the team working in the Vancouver area. SOCIAL SERVICE REPORT. S 25
(2) Enlargement or addition to the already overcrowded structural facilities
of the Vancouver clinic. The shortage of space prevents the most efficient
functioning of the Vancouver clinic.
(3) Provision of an observation and treatment centre for certain selected
cases that are seen at clinic which show serious behaviour difficulties,
necessitating their immediate removal from their present surroundings.
Adequate foster-home care cannot be provided due to the primary nature
of their disorder and their marked anti-social reaction to it. They
respond to the more unemotional relationship that can be provided by
trained personnel. At the same time that they are receiving treatment
in a centre, their parents can be educated and conditioned for their return
to the home. Such a program will require additional expenditure, but
will pay in the avoidance of a complete break in the personality and in
the return of the children to a more healthful and satisfying mode of
living. Even with the present absence of satisfactory facilities it has
been possible, through the co-operation of other agencies, to carry on
this work in a very limited way and with gratifying results. Personality
patterns are formed very early in the life of the child and rapidly tend
to become permanent.
If we are to reduce the volume of mental disease and raise the level of mental
health throughout the Province, we must make it easy for people who need help to get
help. It is a- function of the clinic to offer consultation, diagnosis, and treatment to
patients with personality problems and to give follow-up treatments, in case of need,
to convalescent psychotic patients. If the cause of public mental health is to be
furthered, these individuals must be induced to come to the clinic so that they may be
helped as promptly as possible. The clinics do more than is generally realized to prevent early social maladjustments. They are also a means of incorporating psychiatry
into community activities and relating it to education, social work,, and clinical
psychology.
In addition to diagnosis and treatment, other functions of the clinic are training,
education, and research. Training and education are going on constantly, particularly
with our own staff and also with workers referring cases to the clinic or taking advantage of the consultative service. In addition, public health nurses and social workers
in training are attached to the clinic for a period of orientation. A noticeable advance
during the past year has been the establishment, in the Vancouver clinic, of an internship in clinical psychology. This is available to a limited number of university
graduates who have majored in psychology during their academic course. On the
completion of their internship the majority of these graduates will be qualified and
available for staff appointments within the psychiatric service of the Province. It is
to be expected that some will be stimulated to continue further postgraduate work
elsewhere.
Many persons imagine that research is something carried out only in a laboratory.
One of the most important researches is the careful study of all patients. From these
observations new facts may be deduced leading to better methods of study and treatment. This is bound to benefit the individual patient.
It is thirty-seven years since the first child guidance clinic was established by
Dr. William Healy in Chicago. This year also marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the establishment of a habit clinic by Dr. Douglas Thom, which in turn led directly
to the first state program of preventive mental hygiene under Dr. Thom in Massachusetts. Dr. Thom was always cautious about claiming- a preventive value for the
habit clinic. He felt that the immediate values to the child provided sufficient justification for this work. S 26
MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT, 1946-47.
The work of the clinic is only possible through the co-operation of the various
agencies that refer cases to it and assist in carrying out the recommendations made
for the individual patient.

PSYCHIATRIC SOCIAL WORKERS' PARTICIPATION IN CHILD
GUIDANCE CLINIC SERVICES.
The participation of the psychiatric social workers in clinic services was governed
by the fact that during the greater part of the year personnel fluctuated and, in the
main, was limited to one worker. This would be a factor governing a number of home
visits of a follow-up nature. With additional personnel, it is the hope of the psychiatric
social workers that after-care and follow-up will be more intensive, and, as a result,
patients better serviced within the clinic treatment program. The following reveals
the fluctuation in psychiatric social worker personnel.
In May one worker from the social service department of the Provincial Mental
Hospital transferred to the child guidance clinic, Vancouver, to enable the worker
already at the clinic to take a three months' leave of absence for further training at
Smith College. This worker returned to the clinic, but was given further training with
the social service of the hospital in preparation to fill the position of psychiatric social
worker in the travelling child guidance clinic team. In November it was necessary to
transfer the worker from Victoria back to the Vancouver child guidance clinic, and to
replace her with one of the Vancouver personnel. In February, 1947, we were fortunate S 28 MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT, 1946-47.
in securing a well-trained psychiatric social worker to act as the supervisor at the child
guidance clinic. This has been most fortunate, as it has given the feeling of stability
which was so badly needed.
One of the most encouraging developments in the child guidance clinic services is
the manner in which the consultative service has been used. This consultative service
is one in which clinic services are given to a social worker interested in a client, but
there is no actual, or only casual, contact with the client by the clinic staff. Social
workers of private and public agencies have found it valuable to discuss with the
psychiatrist the mental hygiene problems of their clients in order to receive psychiatric
interpretation which they can apply to their case-work plans. The consultative service
is valuable in its provision of an area in which the social workers can clarify their
thinking on a case. The Director's contribution to this service has brought to the
case-working agencies clarification of their skills.
The clinic teaching function has also been noticeable and has met with the appreciation of the community. Our Director has participated in and helped the workers in
preparation of radio talks, panel discussions, and meetings with groups. He has
obtained and helped with the formation of a library and library facilities. This has
been of invaluable help both to the immediate staff and the clinic, and to other agencies
working with the clinic. It has encouraged real team-work throughout the staff. He
has given direction and teaching on the individual case-history to his own staff and the
staffs of other Provincial and private agencies.
The orientation of social workers and public health nurses has been established and
has been a function rather than a sideline with the social workers. There is now a
well-defined program arranged with the active participation of all the staff team.
The travelling clinic has enlarged, and more time has been given to the Victoria
clinic, which is now showing the necessity of a full-time clinic with added personnel in
the psychiatric social service. The psychiatric social work staff looks forward to the
time when the clinic will function as an active treatment centre. We are aware as
social workers that the first function of the child guidance clinic is to study and treat
individuals referred to it, and that the individual treatment and rehabilitation to his
home and community is the highest type of service the child guidance clinic can render.
The return of an adjusted child to his home is the best interpretation of the value of
the child guidance clinic in the mental hygiene program.

(Miss) J. F. KlLBURN,
Supervisor, Psychiatric Social Work. S 30 MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT, 1946-47.
PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL AND HOME FOR THE AGED.
The personnel of the Social Service Department has increased in this last year.
There are now seven workers, but still we could use twice as many, and if it were not
for the magnificent work done by the field service throughout the Province, it would
be difficult to meet increased demands from the medical staff of the hospital. To facilitate this, we. have divided our staff, making three separate departments, with an
experienced person in charge of each.
The supervisor for field staff arranges with the individual districts for reports
from the family of the patient. This necessitates a complete resume of the factual
information known to the hospital at the time of admission to assist the field service
workers in their work with the families. When the field service workers visit and
forward their history to the hospital, there is always some direction with the case-work
within the family, and the hospital supervisor visits the patient on the ward and acts
as the liaison officer between the hospital and the home through the field worker.
Because of the more extensive hospital treatments with the patients, these case-histories
are required as soon as possible. So also must the work go on within the home in
preparation for rehabilitation and throughout the probation period. She is in need
of assistance, but only a well-trained person can fill this post. For this latter reason,
we obtained the services of a psychiatrically trained teacher as supervisor for the
junior members of the staff. Her salary is paid through the University of British
Columbia, and she is full time on our staff. In this way we hope to have fully trained
workers throughout our whole service.
Our third department is still not functioning to the full, but is making strides in
specializing in rehabilitation of the patient for whom there is unsuitable or no home
to which to return. Although this is the newest department, it had a good showing
in this last year, and it tends to keep rehabilitation of all patients very much in the
limelight. As time goes on, we hope to develop some real sources for both male and
female patients. At the present time, with employment easy to obtain, we are fortunate
to have the co-operation of the Provincial Employment Handicapped Section interested
and helpful with the project. There is still a great deal to be done in this area, but
we are anxious not to extend too far and take away the responsibility from the patient's
family. We consider good work done with the family from the very onset of the illness
our best investment because only as we interpret mental illness to the families do we
see as a service holding out hope for the future rather than regret for the past.
This last year has been particularly busy with extension in all fields of social
welfare. There have been some twenty-six workers for orientation. The individual
time allotted to the mental hospital varied from two days to a week. The public health
nurses have had some orientation. Postgraduate nurses attached to the hospital are
also with us for a period. There have been new committees working out procedures
for the field staff on which the Psychiatric Division of Social Welfare must participate.
The whole staff has a pride in the Psychiatric Division of Social Welfare and try
to co-operate in every way with the hospital personnel. We would like to thank the
medical staff of the hospital for their kindnesses, particularly with the teaching
instructions which they gave so readily to the social workers and to those with us for
orientation.

PART II.—FINANCIAL.
BUSINESS MANAGER'S REPORT.
A. L. Crease, Esq., M.D., CM.,
Director of Mental Hygiene and Psychiatry,
Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, B.C.
Sir,—I beg to submit herewith for your consideration financial statements of the
Provincial Mental Hospitals of British Columbia for the year ended March 31st, 1947,
including balance-sheets, profit and loss accounts, expense statements, and various
statistical reports.
Our daily average population for the three hospitals for the year under review was
4,130. This is an increase of 72 over the previous year. The gross operating costs
(see Table C), including the cost-of-living bonus, amounted to $2,847,403.64, as against
$2,413,203.36 in 1945-46, an increase of 18 per cent., while the gross per capita cost
increased from $1.63 per day for the year 1945-46 to $1.89 per day for the year 1946-47.
This is an increase of 15.9 per cent.
Maintenance and sundry receipts amounted to $339,397.94, a decrease of $10,789.33
from the previous year.
Child guidance and outside clinic expenditures increased from $20,446.59 to
$31,293.23, while the Public Works Department's expenditure amounted to $185,362.91,
as against $152,006.83 in the previous year. Both these amounts are included in our
statements.
Purchases from Colony Farm of milk, cream, vegetables, fruit, and meat for the
Essondale and New Westminster institutions amounted to $252,815.24 and form part
of our dietary costs.
During the year under review supplies such as sheeting, nurses' blue uniform
material, crockery, and some lines of provisions were more difficult to secure than any
time since the start of the war, and if it had not been for supplies purchased from the
War Assets Corporation, it would have been most difficult to maintain our high
standards.
We have given much attention to the care and comfort of the patients and have
continued to expand the occupational therapy, audio-visual, and recreational departments for their benefit.
Gowan S. Macgowan, business manager, retired March 31st, 1947. Mr. Macgowan entered the service with the Provincial Government on April 1st, 1907, and
served the Government, the hospital in particular, for forty years. I am sure we all
wish him many years in which to enjoy his retirement.
In closing I wish to express my appreciation of the many courtesies shown and
the close co-operation that has been maintained between the various departments of
the hospital, the Government, and the staff at all times.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

PART III.—COLONY FARM.
BUSINESS MANAGER'S REPORT ON COLONY FARM.
A. L. Crease, Esq., M.D., CM.,
Director of Mental Hygiene and Psychiatry,
Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, B.C.
Sir,—Enclosed herewith please find profit and loss accounts and various other
statements covering operations of Colony Farm for the year 1946-47.
Please note that the profit and loss statement shows a profit for the year of
$47,246.04 after covering all operating costs, including cost-of-living bonus on
employees' salaries and $19,000 charged for patient-labour. The statement, however,
does not cover a fire loss of feed in the amount of $9,530.15. This profit of $47,246.04,
as against an operating loss of $12,327.07 for the year 1945-46, is due to the lifting of
Dominion Government subsidies. Previously the farm maintained prices in line with
market quotations but were ineligible to benefit from the subsidies. When the subsidies
were lifted, they were able to take full advantage of price increases.
The dairy and herds department showed a profit of $18,684.37, as against a loss in
1945-46 of $3,405.66. Other departments showing large profits were: Hogs, $21,533.67;
cannery, $18,809.49; orchard and truck-garden, $24,389.12; and field crops and
pasturage, $26,351.72.
The greater part of the farm's produce was received by the Essondale and New
Westminster hospitals, whose purchases amounted to $225,724.41 and $27,090.83
respectively. The Boys' Industrial School and Home for the Aged of Port Coquitlam;
the Mental Home, Colquitz; and the Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, also received
a certain amount of produce, but to a very much lesser extent.
Full particulars of the operation of the different farm departments may be had
from the various reports and statements presented herewith.
I regret to report that during the year under review Colony Farm suffered a very
disastrous fire. The fire occurred on the morning of December 10th, 1946, and completely destroyed the large building known as the arena. One farm- employee, Ian
Ferguson, lost his life in the fire, and five horses were also lost, while one horse had to
be destroyed later as a result of injuries received. A large quantity of feed was lost,
and the farm office, located in the building, was destroyed, along with all the farm
records. As a result of this fire, the operation of Colony Farm will be greatly
handicapped.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Business Manager. COLONY FARM. S 69
