THE INSANE. ----
The Pennsylvania Hospital for the
Insane.
!Prom the N. Y. Tribune.l
PniLeolo.rnie, Dec. 19.—During the past
year, several accounts have been published
regarding insane asylum, which conveyed
the idea that a man Who is in his right mind,
or who'it'"only eccentric, may be committed
to a luzitiliC tuiyhina` and confined for an in
definite period,and for the alleged reason that
bin relatives may get possession of his pro
perty. Retently,"south' cases before the
Philadelphia courts have called public atten
tion to the treatment of patients in the Penn
sylvania Hospital for the Insane, 'and I came
hither and made a thorough inspection of this
institution.
This hospital was founded in 1751, and
among the originators was Benjamin Frank
lin. When the city had grown so much as
to surround - the hospital property, a large
portion of the real estate was sold, and more
than one hundred acres of land,, lying two
miles west of the city, was bought, and about
twenty-eight years ago a large building was
erected, to which the patients were removed.
The original building was left for the use of
the city as a hospital, in Wliich the sick and
those injured by accidents were received,
making it correspond in almost every respect
wtth the New York Hospital; on Broadway.
This hospital has been in high. repute, and its
influence upon the Medical knoWledge of the
country has been Marked. The Hospital for
the Insane has also ' had a high reputation,
for it ' , Was thelliethistitution of the kind es
tablished in this country, and it was among
the first tO 'lead the'way in new methods for
treating the, insane, which not only here but
in inany'other institutions have been so su
perior to, any known before, that now the
whole permanently cured averages
about eighty cases in a hundred.
This hospital is not a State institution, for
it oweg,its existence to the humanity and mu
nificence of the citizens of Philadelphia. The
control is in a board of managers, elected by
the Contributors, and this board appoints a
visiting committee, with the duty to inspect
the hospital once every week, which duty
has not neen neglected in a single instance.
So well satisfied have been the people of the
city and' the Legislature of the State with
the 'management hitherto, that the regu
lations adopted in 1751 are unchanged, and
their legality has become established by vir
tue of the common law; nor does the city
make assessments of any kind. Large sums
haveheen given and bequeathed by wealthy
citizens, and so great has been the general
confidence, that one gentleman, who had
never been within the walls, willed a very
large sum for the improvement of the condi
tion' of the insane. For 28 years Dr. Kirk
bride has filled the responsible position of
physician and of general manager to the in
stitution, and he still retains the confidence
of the Citizens and of the board of managers.
In 1850 the people of Philadelphia coatri-
WWI limas for a now building to be occupied
each:011pol)" . by men. It has a main front of
512 feet; wadi two wings, each of 167 feet, all
three stories high,while other extensive build
ings are Rither attached or adjacent There
arealso,engine houses, shops and other atruc
tures.Nor is the building for women less com
plete or extensive. Each is surrounded by a
massive stone wall, including a space in the
forther of 00 acres, and in the latter of 41',
acres, containing walks from one mile
to two miles long, brick pavements 6,000 feet
long, also groves, flower-beds. and vegetable
gardens, thus making the most complete and
costly establishment in our country. Still,
there have been charges of cruelty, and of
general disregard of the objects for which the
institution was founded.
I arrived at the hospital in the afternoon,
entered a gate kept by a porter, !hen, passing
a short — distance in an avenue bordered by
evergreens, came to the main door, which
opened into a long carpeted hall, and passing
to the further end I reached the office, where
I stated my business. -At once, every oppor
tunity for a thorough inspection was offered.
One entering te lunatic asylum for the first
time will expect to see sad and horrible
sights, and not unlikely will fear to be sud
denly assaulted by some raving maniac. For
our knowledge of insane people is derived
either from English literature or from pic
tures of the iemates of Bedlam, with sunken
cheeks and ghastly eyes, while they exhibit
their chants and declare themselves mad; or,
from those sad sights in some far-off country
side, and in the days before asylums had
been erected and endowed, where the insane
- were - confined in the county jail or poor
house, or were provided for by their friends
at home. Many will remember having seen
in those days, in some rural region, a small
hoVel near, the farmhouse for tee confinement
of an insane member of the household a son,
a daughter, a father, or a wife and mother.
This hovel was about eight feet
square, oftenest built of logs that it
might be strong, without a win
dow, perhaps without a door; having
an entrance through the roof, and there could
be no fire. Food was introduced as if to as
animal, and if one looked in the captive
would be seen crouching upon a bed of
straw, or huddled in a corner glaring with rage,
or shrinking in fear, while the garments hung
in rags, if any rags remained. I knew a father
and four grown sons, tall and strong; another
son, the first born, was confined in a log
house in a meadow by a brook. It was a
rule, once in two weeks, and on Sunday morn
ing, for the five to go thither arid unbar the
strong door, when, armed with clubs they
would-ell rush in, grapple with the maniac,
and tie him with a rope. Then they would
wash hint', put on clean garments, clean out
the hovel, and leave him lor two weeks more.
Thus the pour wretch lived, never improving,
always fierce, or said so tO, be, and it was
thought an act of great braYery in the father
and sons to persevere in itheir care. In a
very small room belonging ,o a county poor
house, I once saw a woman, still young,
who s t on the floor with her
face her knees; her hair was
spread • , out and matted, and as
dirty as mate fur two years she had not
spoken, nd when she was cared fur she re
sumed h r accustomed posture. Once, ad
mired an loved, she had moved in the best
society. This was not mere than three miles
from one f the most beautiful cities in the
West. cross the road from a farmhouse,
and in a(1 ne field, stood a log hut, with an
a
opening`between the logs large enough to ad
mit food I and water; a crazy mother was
a prisoner: Worn out with daily labor, and
watching and nursing a sick babe which
finally died, she had not strength to with
stand her grief; reason departed; her husband
could not care for her, nor could she be
treated with her children ; and I have seen
those children on cold mornings hurry across
the road with victuals, which they thrust in,
a piece at a time, beneath a shelf of frost and
enow.,Tbete she lived from year to year, and
grew.,,grey, the light of day or home never
stoning, while the farm house abounded
with. comforts, and where at last, another
caree,to Da the Plate Eke had left vacant, and
another race of childre n fed her.
f rakingthe keys, the chief physician of the
rentisyla‘atliausylum led th e way. At the
116,a1 polio. Staircase is a large picnne of
€ol 3 9 l ,o l ilig Pie sick , which - was painted
forttaktpatitution by Benjamin West. It is
a Wanted piece,and worth a study of hours.
For several years it was exhibited in the city '

who tad been recently adrnitted sat near the
room assigned to her.,Ahe believed that 'great
calamities - were invading; and tliatniurder-'
ers, thieves. and . Tobbers Were on.' 'every
band. As we passed along we saw
several rooms, each containing two
beds, one, of which was for an attendant,
and we saw a few rooms sumptuously fur
nished, also containing two beds, which
were for rich patients who could afford ex
clusive accommodations and a constant at
tendant. Then we saw a middle-aged woman
in a rocking chair shaking with laughter,and
having her attention' fixed upon a shawl
which she held in her arms folded so as to
relienable a baby, and' it seethed to be her
darling and her joy. Another woman aged
as,much as 50, who became blind when 16
years old, but who married and was the
mother of seven children, was active, seemed
to have worked bard in some'occupation,and
requested that word be sent to such a street
and number—sent as quick as possible, that
her friend might come, that we should not
fail; all of which was repeated over and over.
Another inquired : " Will father come to
day?" Answer, in a pleasant, low voice,
"I think he will." "But are you certain?
Is it not too late, or too cold, or too far?"
"He certainly will come, if not to-day to
morrow, or certainly this week." "And
when he comes, will you let him
see me immediately? Do you think he will
come to-day?" Another lay on her neat,
white bed, almost dying. She had attempted
to starve fierself; then, repenting,was anxious
to'live, but it was doubtful whether it was
not too late. All the doors, as we passed.
were open but we came to one which was
closed. To a gentle knock it gently opened,
and a young lady stood wringing her hands
and crying piteously. "Well, how are you
toLday? You have been sick." Answer:
"Yes, I have been very" bad, but I feel better
now, and I hope I shall be much improved
to-morrow." She was, soothed by the kind
est words and the gentlest hands. Her case
was this: Six years ago she was cured and
restored to her friends, living in a far coun
try, but she had come again.
Now, this asylum is divided into 16 wards,
entirely separated from each other, the in
mates of which form families numbering
about 15, for `whom a table is set and food
especially prepared. The cooking is done in
one establishment, as is also the. washing and
ironing, and that which is required for a par
ticular ward is transported by a railway in
the basement and received in the proper place
upon an elevator. The wards are separated
by halls and locked doors, and to most of the
wards belong spacious yards planted with
trees and flowers, and surrounded by walls.
Id each of- these 16 wards, all of which are
occupied by females,is a piano, also a library,
while there are interesting specimens in glass
cases, and everywhere are engravings which
represent domestic and cheerful scenes.
In short, everything is calculated to
produce neatness, order and, agreeable
impressions. The patients in one ward have
lie connection with those of another, and
generally each is as isolated as if it were the
only one in the building. The object is to
place those of like condition together. To
associate the timorous and weak with the
boisterous and strong would make both
worse, for one would shrink with tear, and
the other would become audacious. This
arrangement corresponds to classification in
the sciences;-11m•advantages are as great in
one case as in another, and without it little
or no progress could be made. Another ad
vantage arises from the assistance derived
from such patients as are in process of re
covery, for it is found that they at once use
their newly recovered faculties in helping
their companions, since they sympathize
with them and know their wants even better
than their attendants: and yet, those very
ones may be far from being restored,and they
still need assistance from the physician or
those still more advanced. After they have
reached a certain stage in their recovery, they
are removed to a ward whore tho condition
of the patients corresponds to their own.
There is much in this similar to the Lancas
trian system of education. There are seve
ral aged women in thisinstitution, and some
boa e grown old in it, haviug been here from
SO to 5o years. It is not improbable that if
such had at first been treated by the present
methods they would have, been restored, for
nothing is better ascertained than that the
earlier proper treatment can commence
the more certainty is there of a speedy and
permanent cure—that ic..unless the casXis at
tended with organic dkeli3e.
In ore ward was a most cheerful sight. A
b.tly, perhaps years old, sharp-featured,
active and dressed in blue and bi Lek delaine,
whs playing the Dev,l'. Dream on the piano,
while two ladies, not far from 80 years old,
danced a reel, and they were as loving and
gay as any young couple dancing in a cfmn
try tavern. One, seeming to have an im
portant communication, came to the
Doctor and told him that when she
wanted to leave she would let him know.
One was the wife of an eminent man; one the
sister of another, the names of which wore
whispered. As we passed along, one, well
dressed and seeming every way proper, gave
to some of us a wink.
In the various wards all grades are included,
and they range from the elegantly dressed
lady who goes with an attendant in a car
riage to the city, to make purchases—being
almost restored, or the great calamity is im
pending—down to those who sit silent, and
seem neither to see nor hear—with wasted
hair, and paralytic twitches, and in whom
reason seems like a flame that flickers in the
act of expiring. The view is a series of steps
leading from brilliancy down to imbecility.
In one is beheld some deficiency; in the next
another deficiency is superaddetl; in the next
still another, until, at last, all that makes
woman attractive and loved is gone, or, what
is worse, so little is left that the condition is
as it the sun were blotted from the heavens,
and chaos had come again. The last state is
called dementia, and it differs from idiocy
only in having a beginning. Still, of the ma
jority, there are alwaykhopes; they are more
or less active: they receive impressions, their
conduct is mainly exemplary,they understand
some things clearly, and more than three
fourths are restored to their right mind.
Every means for affording rationed amuse
ment is supplied; there is a gymnasium, also
a lenture-room, where lectures by eminent
men are delivered, mainly on some popular
branch of the Natural Sciences, and exhibi
tions are held with the magic -lantern and
various optical and chemical instruments;
several carriages are kept for the patients'
in short, whatever art, science, industry, or
experience, can contribute towed bringing
the mind to its former condition is liberally
and industriously applied. I was shown
every room; even the closet doors were
thrown open; and, besides, I followed along
the labyrinths of the vast basement up to the
attic and dome.
Those persons who go by the general
name of maniacs are said here to De in a high
state of excitement, and when they become
wholly unmanageable they are placed in
rooms containing only n mattress laid on the
floor. These rooms correspond to the grated
dungeons of Bedlam, whore chains are fixed
to the walls. There is a narrow window so
high that it cannot be reached, and there is a
transom window over the door. If they con
tained a bed and a little furniture, they would
be similar to many of the rooms in a good
New York hotel. Patients of this elites will
readily commit-sulcide if they can, and often
they are ingenious in seeking the means. The
u sual preventive' is a garment which has
,til6ves joined together at the wrist; entirely
closingboth hands. As the patientrecovers,

two attendants of the ward come on - each

voice; often it is four , unnecessary to speak
at all, even where the manifiastationato the

In the evening I attended a tea-party—for
one was given to the patients every week—
that is, to a portion at'a time, and they look
forward to' the occasion with great interest.
All the officers, with their ladies, were pretient,
and, notwithstanding tble was a class much
lower than others,with regard to the progress
of their cure, I had never mingled in a com
pany which showed more propriety; indeed,
I have sat at festive tables where the company
might, be taught something by the behavior of
these unfortunates. After the dishes were
'removed several games were introduced, in
which most of the patients took some inter
est, and conversation was intermingled. Still,
there were those whom nothing could arouse,
and they sat listless and downcast. On this
occasion was present a lad.# with a history of
the most interesting and affecting nature, but
it cannot be told until; in all probability, the
hand which holds this pen shall be moldering
in the dusr. May the choicest blessings attend
her through every period of her existence.
On the next evening was a lecture; on the
next, some other entertainment; and thus this
part of the work goes on through the year.
The hospital' building for men is nearly
half a mile distant. Between are the two
walls of the respective institutions; and also a
low valley, not enclosed, thus making, as it
were, a gulf which cannot be passed! Upon
a little reflection, the necessity for separating
the sexes will be obvious, but it would be a
sufficient reason in the fact that many ladies
would not enter if theK would be likely to
meet men who in after rifelcould lay claim to
an acquaintance formed in such a place. The
general plan, the interior arrangements and
provision for comfort, instruction, amuse
ment and cure are the same as in the depart
ment for females. The number of males is,
from year to year, about the same as of fe
males, which shows, notwithstanding com
plainings in certain quarters in regard to wo
men, that both are happy and unfortunate in
ant qual degree.
Surely, it' anywhere, some of the scenes of
Bedlam would be presented among the men-
Thelloor was opened. It was neither an
iron nor a massive door, nor did it differ
from the parlor door in one's own dwelling.
Here was the same well lighted• and cheerful
hall, with pictures on the walls, with libra
ries, cases of insects, and viarions curiosities,
but the inmates were less retiring; indeed,our
entrance awakened activity and curiosity; all
eyes turned toward us, and there was a gene
ral movement on the part of each to secure a
position favorable for seeing or hearing. A
large business-like man bustled up to us with
confidence, holding in his hand a petition ad
dressed to the President of the United States,
praying for an appointment to the office of
Secretary of State, or of War, or of the Treas
ury. or of the Navy, or Pension Bureau, or as
Embassador to.,Eogland, France, or Russia;
or, in case none of these places should be va
cant, the Superintendency of the United
States Mint would be accepted. We did not
hesitate to sign his petition, because we could
not conceive that the public service would
receive a new injury even should he be ap
pointed. The next great man was a poet,
who had 320 poems, which he wished to sell,
one of which contained 4,000 lines, and all
were superior to any poetry published or un
published. it this was the only evidence of xis
insanity, the reason for his detention did not
seem apparent,because such men are far from
being uncommon. Next we were introduced
to a gentleman standing in his door way, and
he politely invited us to enter. Oa a table
was a
_large collection of standard books,
Sb :speare having a prominent place, and be
nd us that he was devotingevery moment of
his time in making himself familiar with the
English elat.sics,and in particular with Shake
speare. "These investigations," said he, ••de
velop the interior faculties far. more than any
secondary basis, whether attached to a hiztiet
or a lower plane, and the laying down of a
formula deduced therefrom is excelled only
by the dilutions and analysis of abstract Ideas
w hen compared with the concrete of a higner
life." Next was a small, well-dressed youn4
man, who had something of an English air in
his manner, and when I asked him how he
got along, and how he liked it,he said: " foe
institution is fair, you know, and the grub i 4
good. but the trouble is, you know, there 1-
nobody here, that is to say, out of the whole,
there is nobody fit for society, you know, un
less there inlay be three, in fact no more that'
two, if so many, and all the rest are simply
Lolaites."
Going into another ward, the first pantie
introduced was the President of the United
States. He looked as though he lived' well,
and he offered me several offices, and iu par
ticular to be Minister to Holland, but, as Vie
salary was only $l,OOO a year, it was de
dined. Then he wanted otherno take
and after considerable begging they were all
filled. It seemed to me that if that other
gentleman who wanted office so badly could
have had an interview with this President,
a great deal of trouble would be saved; in
fact, there is abundant material there for or
ganizing a complete government, and teey
might jeeps money and then steal it,aud t ius
lead earnest and actual lives. The President,
being a musician, went to the piano, and
played a song on the bad effects arising from
cutting one's toe nails ou Sunday morning.
During the performance a poor ereature came
in, with vacant eyes, when the attendants tried
to make him turn around, but he was as rigid
as so much India rubber; finally they forced
him into a corner, whil not a word was
spoken. Thence we went to a large
room, where several old men sat around
the wall, as if at meeting, while the winter
sun shone upon them brightly, and they were
as stupid as if drugged with opium. They
bad reached the lowest stage. For a reason
that need not be stated we hastened away.
In the hall was one who, long ago, was au
officer in the regular army, and it was said
that Wile had not resigned he would have
out-ranked General Scott. He wanted only
one thing, and that was a chew of tobacco.
Another wanted a cent, which was given
him, and it was stated that he had laid up
quite a fund, but sometimes ho invests some
thing in candy. Another had
been a lawyer; he • understood his
condition, and he stated it. He
had worked his brain when it was already
overworked,and still he had worked it,taking
taking neither sleep nor relatatlon, and now
all was gone. In saying this he shed tears.
As we approached the end of the hall two
remarkably intellectual-looking young men,
with dark shadows around their eyes,stepped
towards us quickly and lightly, and tney
seemed as ready to make a spring as if they
were tigers. And yet, neither these nor any
others are feared by the attendants,. Genet

i. `Then we we taken litto`what ha to been ,
vaned the 4tingeona. They were simply bare
rooms with two windows, and as described
in, the_, department for, females. The walls
were defaced, and one room was in process
of repair, having been Bet on fire by a patient,
whose friends unaccountably' had given him
matches. We were shown what is called a
"saddle," which is used to prevent a patient
from doing himself bodily injury: ' It is Com
posed of straps and webbing, about 'two
inches wide; fastened to the bedstead, it con
fines the limbs and the, body, and is so ar
ranged that the patient can move his limbs or
lie in any position, but he can neither arise
nor throw off the bed-clothes: It is ingenious;
and it was declared to have saved many lives,
pasticullarly for the reason that when -the pa
tient finds he cannot get away, his muscles
finallyrelax and he , sleeps. None of the stu
pefying gases are used, because they produce
no mental change.
Having gone through the whole building,
and seen every apartment, regardless of the
use for which it was applied, and making in
the whole eitent a walker a mile and a quer
ter,,l was told by the superintendent that I
had seen every apparatus by which violent or
any class of patients are restrained. These
dungeons and chains belong to the treatment
of the past, not to the present. Briefly, the
means used for restoring the lost senses are
innocent amusements, exercise in almost
every form, lectures, books, carriage rides,
mechanical pursuits, walking, and garden -
work, all of which, as I saw, are ample in
provision; and the printed directions demand
that the application be regular and unremite
ting. Gentle treatment is enjoined, and
the Scripture texts over the doors,
directing the practice of all
the virtues and charities, form the spirit
of the rules by whichi, the attendants are to
be guided. The general impressions which a
visitor receives are of lightness, comfort,
neatness and elegance. The number of
choice and elegant engravings cannot fail to
strike the-eye. The selection of pictures for
a particular ward seem intended to help recall
such memories at are supposed to be within
reach. For the men's department they are
striking, always cheerful, sometimes bold,
and the female figure is not wanting. In
one ward, perhaps where despondency pre
vails, is a picture of one asleep in a ham
mock . which is swinging from boughs, and
the vines and wild flowers, and the drapery
of the sleeper, denote that it is a tropical
scene.
The cooking, washing and other industries
are complete and on a large scale. The
heating of the apartments by steam and hot
air requires extensive works, and having
been first devised here,they were next adopted
in the Capitol at Washington, and afterwards
in all parts of the country. Ventilation
demands the use of the steam-engine every
day in the year, and the necessity in a build
ing like this, occupied by human beings as a
residence, is absolute. Even when a small
number permanently live in one building,
unless, there is a perfect ventilation, a sicken
ing taint will attach to the walls and furni
ture which is almost insupporteble, and there
are some.instittitione, not excepting Colleges
and churehea, where this odor can be detected,
making the building unfit even for temporary
occupancy. Lunatic asylums find nothing
more difficult than the securing of ventila
tion, and some which I have visited fail to
attain it. In the Pennsylvania Asylum it is
is nearly perfect; but where there is a local
requirement, a portable apparatus something
like a fanning mill is operated at :a window.
This great difficulty always must oppose a
1 reorganization of society in combined house
-1 holds, and it would seem that a family placed
in one dwelling is in a condition for securing
health which cannot well be improved.
It was natural that I should ask Dr. Kirk
bride wha are the causes of insanity. He
named first dyspepsia, which undermines the
health. Next is a want of sleep. Still, this
may also arise from disease. Nothing is
more important than sound sleep; it has
remedial powers; and it has most value if
taken in the earlier part of the night. To lie
in bed and think is in the highest degree in
jurious, and all thinking should be done be
fore retiring. One of the best means for se
curing sleep is exercise taken in the open air
and in the sunshine; opiates ought never to he
a means, except by the direction of a physi
cian. Good, nutritious food is far more use
ful than stimula6rs: Men deficient in physi
cal powers will be able to perform
a vast amout of work of any kind
if the wasted powers can be restored
regularly by sound sleep. The next cause is
want of employment_ Man was made for
activity, and for the exercise of all his
powers; by the disuse of any, a decay is but
natural. Intemperance is another fruitful
cause. But cases are mentioned-where, on
the approach of insanity, a taste for strong
drink became irresistible; and on being grad
fiedi the work was finished; when toe malady
yielded to treatment.and cure was completed,
the desire for strong drink no longer existing.
In questions as to whether insanity ex i its, the
following query, by a Philadelphia judge,
forms a good definition: "Has a man the
poWer to distinguish right from wrong, and
has be the power to adhere to the right and
avoid the wrong?" Hereditary nsanity in
one country is much less frequent than is
supposed.
The general forms of insanity are mania and
dementia, with the subdivisions' of moral in
sanity, monomania, hyvichondriasis,auicidal
monomania, homicidal monomania, insane
impulse, &c. In what manner the mind
Uses its balance and acts in a new plane is,
at present, unknown. Generally, and per
haps always, insanity commences with ab
sence of sleep, which is Sillowecl by fever,
and it is highly probable that fever is always
connected with madness.. One of the most
notable symptoms of incipient iusahity is a
rtgid tendeneyto dwell on a single idea, and
frequently, in conversation, to repeat words
over and over, but the repetition is more
closely confined to the mind itself. Often an
insignificant idea will take sole possession of
the mind, and be repeated or reproduced
with the regularity of a conspicuous
mark on a swiftly revolving wheel.
One - part of the mind seems dis
cennected with the other parts, and
it may be compared to an engine with one
portion at- rest while another portion runs
with great velocity. Sometimes, in what is
called'health,,objects come before the eyes,
or common words are spoken in connection
with passing events, which seems only a re
collection—that is, they are remembered as
having been presented to the mind in some
past period, in exactly the same relation they
are presented in the present. Much more re
mains for scientific men to discover in the fu
ture than has yet been revealed; and if the
various, problems concerning insanity are
ever to be solved, they will be so by patient
investigations through many periods, and
with the assistance of those once insane. The
stinting point undoubtedly is in our Insane
Asylums. As yet, they aro new institutions,
and little more has been done than to secure
organization, and to demonstrate to legislators
and thinking men their great usefulness.
The public mind at present is interested in
consideringthe means by which persons are
declared insane. In most cases no question
can arise, but at intervals there are cases
where doubts do arise. In Pennsylvania, the
written certificate of a single physician is
sufficient for an arrest and commitment, and
in view of this there is a general feeling,which

;Wlen each was acquainted with his neighbor,
and when theo . Atumber of unprin
cipled men was, ' less than at prey
eat, , the requirements for proving
insanity were sufficient; or, if they wore not,
the superintendents who were devoting their
lives to building up of these institutions, and
who thereby showed their regard for human
suffering, would have refused to receive any
that were not proper objects of their care.
