Scope and Content Note
This series consists of monthly reports made regarding children in Middletown State Hospital. The reports provide information on the total number of children; age of children (less than 10, age 10-14, age 15-16); patients in residence at start of month; patients received (admissions, transfers, returns from convalescent care); patients removed from the hospital census (placed in convalescent care, discharges, deaths, and transfers); patients remaining in care at the end of the month; and children born in the hospital. The reverse side of the data sheet contains the names of children. In 1959, the form changes slightly and includes information on escapes, returns from escapes, and patients reaching their 16th birthday.
