1. The Assistants will be employed with the Attendants in the care of the patients, their rooms, clothing, etc.; they will be under the immediate direction and control of the Attendants; and they are expected to observe with care the rules prescribed for the management of the patients, and the government of the Asylum.

2. The Attendants are required to see that their patients are properly prepared for their meals; that their faces are washed, hair combed, and clothing adjusted, that each may present a cleanly and orderly appearance.
3. At meals the Attendants shall always be present to carve, to distribute the food, to see that each one has a proper supply, and that they all take their meals in a proper manner. Each shall be supplied with such liberal allowance as the nature of the case may require, but all waste, gluttony, or improper habits at the table shall be mildly checked by the Attendants. They shall be allowed time to take their meals at leisure—habits of eating differ, and all (the old particularly) should have time to eat without hurry.
