8. It will be expected of all employed in or about the Asylum, to check, as far as possible, all conversations or allusions, on the part of patients, to subjects of an obscene or improper nature, and remove, when in their power, false impressions on their minds, respecting their confinement or management; and any person who shall discover a patient devising plans for escape, suicide, or violence to others, is enjoined to report it to an officer without delay. 9. The place of duty of those having charge of patients is in the wards, or in the yards, or in the garden with the patients. During the day and while the patients are out of their sleeping apartments, they have no business in their rooms, except for a momentary errand to adjust their own clothing; and any employee who shall enter his or her room, and engage in reading, writing, entertaining visitors, or be otherwise off duty, will be acting in violation of rule. 10. The employees are not permitted to correspond with the friends of patients; and all letters or packages to, or from, patients, must pass through the hands of the Superintendent or Assistant Physician. All making of dresses, working of embroidery, or any mechanism, for the use of employees, is prohibited, unless by the special permission of the Superintendent; and no employee of the Institution shall ever make any bargain with any patient, or his or her friends, or accept of any fee, reward or gratuity from any patient, or his or her friends, without the Superintendent’s consent. 11. Employees will not be permitted to leave the Asylum without the consent of the Superintendent or Assistant Physician, and, when allowed to leave, they will be expected to return by 9 o’clock P. M.—unless expressly permitted to remain out longer. Before leaving they must hang up their keys in the place, in the office, provided for that purpose. Non-residents will not be permitted to remain in the Institution at night without the knowledge and consent of the Superintendent or Assistant Physician. 12. No person will be employed in or about the Asylum who is intemperate in habits, or who engages in gambling or any other immoral or disreputable practice; and as the patients are not allowed the use of tobacco, within the Asylum, the employees are expected not to use it, in any form, in their presence. 13. While employees are not prohibited from _occasionally_ visiting each other in their wards, it should never become a habit, and the indulgence is only allowed in view of the spirit of emulation, which may thus be encouraged by sometimes inspecting each other’s sphere of duty. When it is discovered that the permission is abused, or that visits are being spent in idle conversation, it will be held as a violation of rule.
