The Standard Hospital Asylum and Institution Directory, written by M.F. Teehan and Published by Standard Publishing in Topeka, Kansas, was the directory for hospital workers. In addition to topical essays on general practices within asylums and institutions, it lists all institutions in the country (and some in the Caribbean as well) and provides detailed information on such things as staff housing situations, uniforms, staff entertainment, time off per week, salaries paid, size and layout of the hospital, size of the nearest town and approximate transportation fare between the town and the hospital.
It had the following to say about Oregon’s 3 institutions at the time [I have expanded upon the original abbreviations for the purpose of clarity]:
Eastern Oregon State Hospital, [closest town] Pendleton — Population 8,000. 2 miles. 50 c taxi fare.
Wing [layout]. Dr. W.D McNary [Superintendent]. Patients 800. Employees 75. Physicians 3. Semi-weekly amusements. Partial married quarters. Uniform: stripe gingham, belted at waist, bib and strap, white apron. Duty hours: 12.5-14. Night Duty hours: 10. Time Off: 3 afternoons a week.
