Abstract
GENTLEMEN,-We, the Managers of the Temporary Lunatic Asylum, at Beauport, beg leave very respectfully to lay before you the following Report, having reference to the state and condition of the patients entrusted to our care by the Govern- ment, and to the mode in which they have been treated during the past three years.Towards the close of the last century, an order in Coun- cil was passed, authorizing an appropriation for the maintenance of insane persons in the Province of Lower Canada.These insane persons were intrusted to the care of certain religious communities in the respective districts of Montreal, Quebec, and Three Rivers ; the Government paying a yearly sum of about £32 10s.for the support of each patient.*As in similar institutions in Europe, at this period, insane persons were confined merely as unmanageable, or as dan-gerous to the community, or to themselves.No measures were adopted for their restoration to reason.They were shut up in separate cells, were debarred intercourse with the world and with each other, were left to brood over their disordered fancies, until they became maniacal, tore their clothes, became filthy in their habits, and from a well known law of nature, that the faculties become dormant for want of exercise, became imbecile or idiotic.Occasionally a patient was * The sum allowed by Government for the support of each patient was one shilling and eight pence per diem : there were besides occasional appropriation* for the repairs of the building and fence.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
