THE INFANTS’ ASYLLTM ON RAXDALL’S ISLAND, NEW YORK CITY.IN Pediatrics of Sept. let there are some strong remarks on themanagement of the Infants’ Asylum on Randall’s Island. The factthat it is unhealthy in a high degree to herd young children

together in large numbers has been conclusively proved andemphasised time after time. The foundling hospitals in Italyand some of the children’s hospitals in France (notablyI’Hopital Trousseau in Paris) are conspicu)us examples of the

dangers attending this course, and doubtless there are in Englandsome instances of a similar kind. Pediatrics says: "From an

investigation of the affairs of the Infants’ Asylum at Randall’s

Island,’ which until a few months ago was under the control of thecity, the truth has been made public that the mortality among theinfants reaches the fearful rate of nearly 90 per cent. Before the

institution was handed over to the management of the Commissionersof Charities matters were even in a worse state than now,and it was stated on the authority of the medical board that to enterit under the age of six months was certain death." From the fore-

going account it will be gathered that the asylum at Randall’s Islandis in almost as bad a sanitary state as are Italian foundling hospitals.However, it is satisfactory to learn that vigorous efforts towardsreform are to be made by the Charity Commissioners, assisted by themayor, and without doubt now that public opinion has been arousedthe institution will be placed on a better sanitary footing.
