We have attempted here to describe a children's unit as it is in operation. We hope we have made it apparent that, although many arguments can be found against establishing children's units at mental hospitals, still while we continue to have children admitted to these hospitals, by grouping them and using facilities already present, with effective organization and management, basic present needs can be fairly well satisfied.
