texth biexxial eeport. 53 asylum for colored orphans. Board of Directors, Colored Orphan A^iflunu Oxford, X. C. Gextlemex :—The committee from the State Board of Health visited this Institution and found everything under the control of your Superintendent. Kev. 'Mr. Shepherd, well cared for. The house was clean and the children looked to he in good condition. Little or no sickness was reported, and there was every evidence of a thorough disi)osition to do the best for the inmates of the institution, under the care of the Superintendent and his corps of teachers and heli>ers. While it is not strictly a part of our inspection to look after tlie furniture in these buildings, we would respectfully recommend that these buildings be supplied with new l)edsteads and mattresses, as they seem to be in l)ad shape.

The Board of Directors, State Hospital for the Insane, Raleiffh. X. C, Gextlemex :—The undersigned, assigned by the State Board of Health to this work, have made a sanitary inspection of the hospital, and respectfully beg leave to report: We found the institution clean and in excellent sanitary condition. We would note, however, two wants, the supply of which would, in our opinion, conduce to the healthfulness of the patients. One of these is the want of verandas, enclosed, of course, with wire netting. Fresh air and siuishine in abuntlance are of the first importance, from the health point of view, to all persons, especially to children and invalids. The insane are below par in j^hysical as well as mental health, and as the condition of many of them requires restraint of their liberty, they are debarred from outdoor exercise. Wire-enclosed verandas in good weather would in effect be outdoor wards and therefore of great benefit to many of the patients. We would recommend the constructions of such verandas on the west side of the hospital. The other want is the lack of provision for the isolation of tuberculous patients. The transniissil)ility of tuberculosis is thoroughly established. the chief avenue of transmission being the sputum. The
