THIRD BIENNIAL REPORT. The State Commissioners of Public Charities for the State of Illinois, in presenting this, their third biennial report, for transmission to the Genera] Assembly, think it due to themselves to say that it would have been fuller and more perfect, if the time allowed for its preparation were somewhat more extended. The fiscal year of the state closes on the thirtieth day of November. The legislature meets on the Wednes- day following the first Monday in January. The result is, that all the labor of preparing, copying ami printing the official reports, both of institutions and of this board, is crowded into the brief space of about five weeks. The preparation of the institution reports, with their financial and other statistical statements, consumes more than half of this period. Until they are received at the state capital they cannot be examined, verified, corrected, compared, and their substance thrown into a general statement, accompanied by statistical tables, as is re- quired of us by the law creating the commission. Not only litis : there is a further delay in the printing of the institu- tion reports, in consequence of the fact that the state printer must first print the official reports of the state officers. It is impossible, there- fore, without a change in the fiscal year of the institutions, to satisfy the expectations of the General Assembly in this regard. Such a change, making the year end on the thirtieth day of September, instead of November, as at present, would obviate these evils and secure better service. It affords us pleasure, at the outset, to state that we know of no ir- regularity in the mangement of any of the public institutions of this state during the past year. Neither are we called, with a single excep- tion, to report any existing deficiency in the accounts of any of them. But one of them asks this year for a deficiency appropriation, and that for an almost insignificant amount. We congratulate the legislature and the people of Illinois on the high degree of organization and effi- ciency to which the state institutions have attained. Their prosperity and success indicate the existence of an advanced type of civilization among the people by whom they have been created and nourished. 10 We presume that the information most desired by the present General Assembly will relate chiefly to two questions, which will Decessarilyoome before it. First, there is the standing question of the amounts proper to be appropriated for the support of the state institutions lor the next two years ; and second, the question of a revision of the statutes relat- ing to their general organization and management. It is well-known, that the commission to revise the statutes, whose work was passed upon by the last legislature, and is embodied in the volume recently issued by the state, reported certain bills, which failed to secure sufficient strength to bring them to a direcl vote in either house. Several substitutes for these bills, which were introduced, also failed to pass the General Assembly, and that body adjoined sine without relieving the statute books of the present mass of incongruous enactments, whose lack of sufficient unity, clearness and simplicity will be apparent to any one who will take the trouble to examine them critically. Upon both these questions we have endeavored to put the General Assembly in possession of all the facts essential to the development of a just opinion and a wise policy. The present report embodies a number of statistical tables and other statements, all of which will, be think, bear close scrutiny and repay thorough study. Among these will be found the following : List nt institutions aud superintendents. List of trustees, List of appropriations, 1837-1873. Total payments from state treasury, 1837-1873. Accounts of the institutions with state auditor. Recapitulation of appropriations, 1873-4, and balances, 1874. Accounts of the state institutions with the counties. Classified receipts and expenditures. Consolidated financial statements. Institution treasurers' monthly balances. Movement of population. Number of Inmates from each county. Duration of terms and vacations. Average number of inmates. Staple supplies — Amount purchased. " " " consumed per capita. " " Prices paid.

Most of these tables and statements aie appended, :it the close of the report proper. Some of them are in lite bod\ ot the report. For fuller information as to details, we refer to the 84 \ era! institution reports as separately published. 11 Other information, of value, may be drawn from our own first and second biennial reports. Our aim, at this time, is to throw as strong cross lights as possible upon the financial management of the institu- tions, in order to bring- the subject into full relief. Though not perfect in all respects, we yet believe that it is thoroughly honest. Appropriations 1872-3. The amount appropriated by the Twenty-Eighth General Assembly, for defraying the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the state in- stitutions, (not including the Reform School), for two years, from the first of July, 1873, to the first of July, 1875, was one million, six hun- dred and two thousand, three hundred and fifty-seven dollars and ninety-seven cents, divided as follows : For ordinary expenses §737, 830 22 Special appropriations 814, 527 75 Total |1, 602, 357 97 Amount Drawn. The amount drawn by the institutions, under these various appropri- ation acts, up to the thirtieth day of jSTovember, 1874, was : For ordinary expenses $539, 31 1 52 Special appropriations ■. . - - 704, G62 55 Total $1, 303, 994 07 Balance, Dec. 1, 1874. The balance remaining in the state treasury, on the first day of De- cember, 1874, was : For ordinary expenses $248, 518 71 Special appropriations 49, 84 £0 Total $296. 363 W Appropriations asked. The amount asked by the institutions, and which they desire the General Assembly, at its present session, to appropriate for the ex- penses of the next two years, from the first of July, 1875, to the first oi of July, 1877, is more than half a million dollars less than the amount of the requests preferred t^\<> y< ars ago, and is very little more in the aggregate than the amount appropriated by the last General Assembly. The following schedule exhibits the aggregate requests preferred 1>> the institutions at this time, as submitted to this board. Their specific nature will be explained subsequently : Central Insane Hospital, Jacksonville 1220, 000 00 Northern Insane Hospital, Elgin .* 220, 000 00 Southern Insane Hospital, Anna 337, 400 00 Eye and Ear Infirmary, Chicago 89. 500 00 Soldiers' Orphan*' Home, Normal 105, 500 ui> 12 Institution for theDeaf and Dumb, Jacksonville 1252,716 85 Institution for the Blind, Jacksonville 93, 632 34 Institution for Feeble-Minded Children, Jacksonville 249,000 00 Industrial University, Urbana 23,000 00 Normal University, Normal 59,974 24 Southern Normal University, Carbondale 56, 000 00 Total $1, 646, 722 83 The reduction in the amount of appropriations asked is due to the fact that for six years past the state has been engaged in the work of erecting new buildings for the institutions, which are now nearly all completed. In the year 1865, immediately after the close of the war, the state, in fulfillment of many pledges and assurances given to the volunteers, that in ease of their death, their children should be protected and cared for, established the '-Home for Children of Deceased Soldiers, common- ly known as the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, at Normal. The legislature, at the same session, established the Experimental School for Idiots and Feeble-Miuded Children, at Jacksonville, to which a separate charter was afterwards granted, in 1871. In 1867 the state accepted the offer of the United States government to endow a "college for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts," and established the Illinois Industrial University, at Urbana. The gift of lands by the United States was made upon condition that no portion of the funds derived from their sale should be expended for the erection of buildings. In 1869 the era of building was inaugurated. The Twenty-Sixth General Assembly founded three new institutions, namely, the two new insane hospitals, at Elgin and Anna, and the Southern Normal University, at Carbondale. (The Reform School, which is not under our jurisdiction, was founded in 1867.) Thus it appears that of twelve state institutions (or thirteen, if the penitentiary is included in the list), seven had no existence prior to the year L865. The enlargement of the system has taken place within the past, ten years. Among the causes which combined to bring about this result may be mentioned the apparent financial prosperity of the state and of the country at large for several years after the close of the war. All the new institutions were established during the period when money was abundant and capital desirous of finding an investment. The Chicago Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, organized in 1858, and chartered, by special enactment, in L865, was made a state institu- tion in 1871, and its name was changed to the "Illinois Charitable Eye and Bar infirmary." The building occupied by the Institution for the Blind was burned and totally consumed in 1869. 13 The amounts appropriated for the purchase of sites, erection of build- ings, etc., since the year 1807, are shown in the following table: TABLE.

The only building appropriations of any amount, asked for at the present time, are for the completion of these buildings aud for the erection of a building for the Institution for the Education of Feeble-Minded Children. While it is true, however, as just stated, that the era of building is now nearly over, the establishment and completion of so many new in- stitutions necessitates increased appropriations, in the aggregate, for the defrayment of their ordinary or current expenses, though not to so great an extent as might be supposed. The appropriations recommended by the commissioners of public charities will be stated in detail, with the reasons for our recommenda- tions, under the head of the different institutions. Lest any member of the General Assembly should think that we are acting in this matter without warrant, or with the purpose of unduly or improperly influenc- ing legislation, we quote from the act creating the board of public charities, sections four and six. § 4. The said commissioners, or some one of them, are hereby authorized and required, at least twice in each year, and as much oftener as they may deem necessary, to visit all the charitable and cor- rectional institutions of the state, excepting prisons receiving state aid, and ascertain whether the moneys appropriated for their aid are or havo been economically and judiciously expended ; whether the objects of the several institutions are accomplished ; whether the laws in relation to them are fully complied with; whether all parts of the state are equally benefited by said institutions, and t ho va- rious other matters referred to in the third section of this act ; and report in writing to the governor, by the fifteenth of December, annually, the result of their investigations, together with such other in- formation and recommendations as they may deem proper; and the said board of public charities, or one of them, shall make any special investigation into alleged abuses in any of said institutions, when- ever the governor shaU direct, and report tho result of the same to the governor. § 0. Wbenever any charitable or correctional institutions, subject to the inspection herein provi- ded for, require state aid for any purpose other than their usual expenses, the said commissioners 14 i)r some, or one of them, shall inquire carefully and fully into the ground of such want, the purpose or purposes for which it la proposed to use the same, the amount which will be required t<> accomplish the designed object, and Into any other matters oonnected therewith, and in the annnal report of ■ i i year they .-*h;ill ;jive the result of such inquiries, together Willi their own opinions and conclu- ^luns relating to the whole subject. Iii all our relations with the General Assembly, it has been and will continue to be our aim, not to legislate, nor to influence legislation, but to lay a solid and euduriug foundation for such legislation as may be deemed expedient or necessary by the authorized representatives of the people. This is probably the proper point at which to make one or two re- marks as to the several systems upon which appropriations for the sup- port of state institutions may be made. The first, and in our opinion the least advanced system, is to make an appropriation to each institution of a specific sum, without stating or limiting the purpose for which it is to be used, except that it shall be tor the use of the institution, in defraying necessary expenses. This may be and is done in individual instances, but can scarcely be called a system, nor is it likely to secure any advocates. Such appropriations would be perfectly safe in the hands of some men, but not of all, if in- deed of the majority. . The second system, and one which is practiced in several states of the union, is to require the superintendent of a state institution to certify, monthly or quarterly, to the auditor of public accounts, the number of weeks' board furnished to state beneficiaries during the preceding month or quarter 5 and to require the auditor of public accounts thereupon to draw his warrant on the treasurer for the amount due said institution, the rate per week of payment allowed for each beneficiary being fixed by statutory enactment. This system has some advantages. The objec- tions to it are, first, that a fixed allowance for each beneficiary per week is not a just method of estimating and determining expenses, for tne reason that the second huudred inmates of auy institution can be supported at a lower rate than the first huudred ; second, that in fixing the rate per week, the legislature will be likely to be deceived as to the amount appropriated, and appropriate a larger sum than the mainte- nance of the institution really requires ; third, that under this system it is impossible for the legislature, iu making appropriations, to know what is the actual amount appropriated. The third system has the sanction of long established usage in this .state. This is to appropriate a fixed sum per annum tor current or ordi- nary expenses, and to make additional specific appropriations for special purposes. The estimation of the amount uecessary for current expenses of an in- stitution is not so easy a matter as it might seem, at first blush. The amount expended in a previous year, or the average amount expended 15 in a series of years, is not a fair criterion ; for the term "ordinary ex- peuses" is bo rogue, that a liberal construction of it will authorize even the erection of additional buildings with the surplus of this fund; and if the appropriation is sufficiently large to afford a surplus, a public insti- tution has so many wants that the excess will easily and certainly be expended. The calculation cannot be made ou a "per capita" basis; for the greater portion of the expense does not depend upon the number of inmates, but upon the extent aud method of construction of the build- ings, and upon the size of the farm. It takes as much money, for in- stance, to light and heat a given building, with four hundred inmates, as with five hundred. The superintendent and other officers receive the same salary, whether the number of inmates be greater or less. The following calculation shows how far the current expense appro- priations in this state are from being regulated on the per capita princi- ple. The calculation is made for the year 1874 : Institutions. Central Insane Hospital Northern Insane Hospital Southern Insane Hospital Soldiers' Orphans' Home Institution for Deaf Mutes.... Institution for Feeble- Minded. Total Average. Average number inmates. 474 197 209 80 1,336 223 Appropriation.

On the other hand, it does not require a very critical examination of the reports to see that in most of the institutions, many items are in- cluded under the head of ordinary expenses, which do not properly be- long there, such as a large portion of the amounts expended for im- provements and repairs, furniture, and for miscellaneous purposes. With regard to repairs and furniture, how large a portion of this ex- pense is "ordinary" and how much is "extraordinary," is a difficult and disputed question. By ordinary repairs, probably, are meant such re- 10 pairs as axe necessary to keep the buildings and premises in equally good condition, i. e., ii L condition at the end of tin- yeai as at the begiuuing. But the amounts expeuded from the curreut expense appropriation, under this head, are often far in excess of t Lie foregoing interpretation. It would seem, also, that where special appropriations are ma le for "repairs," the total amount necessary tor that purpose should be included in such appropriations. The new constitution is very precise in its language as to the diver- sion of appropriations. The legislature itself caunot make such diver- sion, except by a recorded vote, or in the form of an act. "No money shall be diverted from any appropriation made for any purpose, or taken from any funds whatever, either by joiut or separate resolution." Art. IV, § 17. The criminal code is equally explicit. "Every person holding any public office, (whether state, county or municipal,) trnst or employ- ment, who shall be guilty of diverting any public money from the use or purpose for which it may have beeu appropriated or set apart by or under authority of law, or who shall be guilty of con- tracting, directly or indirectly, for the expenditure of a greater sum or amount of money than may have beeu, at the time of making the contracts, appropriated or set apart by law, or authorized by law to be contracted for or expended upon the subject matter of the contracts, 6hall be fined not ex- ceeding ten thousand dollars, and may be removed from his oflBce, trust or employment." R. S., 1874, p. 383, { M03. See, also, 11. S., lt<45, p. 170, § 10. In making the recommendations required of us by law, we have en- deavored to keep these principles in mind, and so to apportion the appro- priations to be made, under the different heads, as to admit of the ac- complishment of their purpose, without leaving any large surplus to be applied to other purposes. I. CURRENT EXPENSE APPROPRIATIONS. JACKSONVILLE INSANE HOSPITAL. 1. The [Central] Insane Hospital, at Jacksonville, asks for a current expense appropriation of one hundred thousaud dollars per annum. in our opinion this sum is larger than is needed for this purpose. We base this opinion upon two different considerations. First. The reduction in the cost of food and fuel, since 18G9. Food, 1809 : 148,830 07 " 1870 41,188 M $89, 958 41 Food, 1873 $33,824 39 " 1874 35,997 30 $69, 821 75 Total reduction $20,136 66 Keduotiou per annum 10,068 33 Fuel, 1869 $11,930 96 " 1*70 1*079 70 $24, 030 66 Fuel, 1873 $5,064 15 " 1874 7,32(1 !>1> 12, 391 14 Total reduction $11,639 52 Reduction per annum • — .......... 5, 81B io 17 Second — The biennial report to the governor for the past two years shows that there was expended dining these years, from the ordinary expense fund, for repairs and improvements, the sum of forty-three thousand, three hundred and seventy-one dollars and twelve cents. A very large amount of extraordinary repairs and improvements w;is iu- cluded in this expenditure. We are aware, and have no doubt what- ever, that this money was economically, honestly and very advantage- ously spent by Dr. Carrie], whose ability as a superintendent is unques- tionable. But in these times, when retrenchment is the rule of private life, we think that it may and ought to be enforced in public affairs also. We therefore recommend an appropriation of ninety thousand dollars per annum, instead of one hundred thousand. NORTHERN INSANE HOSPITAL. The same remark applies to the Northern Insane Hospital, which also asks for one hundred thousand dollars per annum. The balance sheet of this institution, submitted to us, shows that siuee the hist of December, 1873, it has, out o; an appropriation of forty-six thousand, two hundred and lil'ty dollars, for about two hundred patients, paid off three thousand, seven hundred and twelve dollars and seventy-seven cents, over-drawn bank account, beside s eight thousand, seven hundred and twenty-two dollars and thirty-two cents, liabilities of the preceding year, and uow has a small balance over and above all liabilities. We commend the instimtiou for its excellent financial man- agement, and believe that if Jacksonville can live on ninety thousand dollars a year, Elgiu can. We recommend an annual appropriation of ninety thousand dollars. This institution asks for an additional appropriation, for the mainte- nance of two hundred and fifty patients from the date of occupancy of the south wing to the end of the fiscal year, (June 30th, 1875,) at the rate of forty-five thousand dollars per annum. The south wing is com- pleted and finished, and standing idle without an occupant, while the insane of the state are loudly knocking at the door for admission. The doors should be thrown open at the earliest moment possible; but to this end a special appropriation will be necessary, as the ordinary ex- pense appropriation of two years ago was only designed to cover the cost of running the north wing and the centre building. But we d i not recognize tin- validity of the per capita principle in making appropria- tions to public institutions. The winter must be well advanced or nearly over by the time that a bill for this purpose can pass the General As- sembly; the win;: will not fill up immediately upon its opening; there will be no increased expense of general management; and tin- only ad- ditional expense will be the cost of subsistence and the wages of attend- 18 ants ii iid domestic servants. The sum of tea thousaud dollars ought, in our opinion, fully to cover the increased cost. SOUTHERN INSANE HOSPITAL. 3. The Southern Insane Hospital, at Auua, requests a current ex pense appropriation of fifty thousaud dollars per annum. The original application was for fifty-five thousand dollars, but it ha8 been volunta- rily reduced. In our opinion an appropriation of fifty thousand dollars will be ue cessary. The centre building will be ready for occupancy before the first of next July, when the number of patients and the cost of running the in stitution will be much increased. A new institution always costs more, in some directions, than one which has gained the wisdom of experi- ence. Some items of expense at Anna are larger than at the other in- sane hospitals, in consequence of its location. We think that if ninety thousaud dollars is not too much to allow for the cost of running a cen- tre building and two wings, with four hundred and fiftj patients, lifty thousand dollars is not too much for the running of a centre huilding and one wing, with two hundred and twenty-five patients, the number which can be accommodated, b> some crowding, in the north wing, after the centre building is occupied. Pay-Patients. In making these estimates of the cost of maintaining the insane hos- pitals, the fact must not be overlooked that we have assumed that the pay-list for private patients will not be abolished. The receipts from this source, for the past two years, have been as follows : 1873 1874. Central Insane Hospital 112, 882 18 $13, 034 48 Northern Insane Hospital 6, 636 39 9, 562 25 Southern Insane Hospital 1, 937 68 Total 119, 518 57 |24, 534 39 The legality of the charges made to private individuals for clothing and incidental expenses has never been questioned. The legal right of the Southern Insane Hospital to charge also for board is not susceptible of a doubt, as will be seen by the following section in the charter of that institution : $ 17. Insane persons, whose estates are sufficient, shall bo required to pay for their transportation to and from said asylum, and a reasonable compensation for care and board. But the attorney-general has a very grave doubt as to the right of the Northern and Central Insane Hospitals to make similar charges. We quote his opinion, contained in a letter to the Hon. C. N. Holden, of Chicago : 19 Attornet-General'b Office, Spbikofield, November 1C, 1874. Hon. ON. Holden, President Board of Trustees Northern Illinois Hospital for the Insane. Sm — Since the receipt of. your letter of the 29th ultimo, I have examined the act of February 21 , 1861, relative to the Hospital for the Insane at Jacksonville, to which you gave me a reference. The title and first two sections of the act are as follows : "An act for sustaining the Hospital for the Insane for the [years] A. D. 1861 and 1862, and to com- plete the unfinished buildings "§ 1. lie it enacted, etc., That from and after the first day of March, A. D. 1861., to the first day of March, A. D. 1863, the sum of forty-five thousand dollars (145,000) per annum is hereby appropriated, payable out of the treasury quarterly, as required for use, on order of the board of trustees of the State Hospital for the Insane, for the ordinary expanses of said institution, to be accounted for as now re- quired by law. "§ 2. The trustees of the iusane hospital are hereby authorized and directed to collect, from such patients as are of sufficient ability, the just charges for their support ; and said trustees are instructed to report to the nest General Assembly the sums so collected and the names of the pationtson whose account such collections are made." Pub. laws, 1861, page 134. The act also contains other sections making specific appropriations for the completion of the build- ings, the purchase of furniture, securing a supply of water, enclosing grounds, etc., of the hospital. It is in fact the usual biennial appropriation act for the maintenance of that institution. The prin- cipal features of the act, as well as the title, are limited as to the time of their operation. As an original question, I should regard the second section as subject to the same limitation in respect totho timeof its operation, as is specified for the appropriation made by the lirstsection, and that it expired with that appropriation. This construction harmonizes with the general purview of the act, and is supported by the requirement that the trustees shall "report to the next General Assembly the sums so collected" for the support of patieutsand the names of the patients on whose account such collections are made. If it had been designed for a permanent law, it would have been more reasonable to have required biennial reports to be made to each succeeding session of the General Assembly, instead of limiting the same to the one next succeeding. However, the first branch of this section, which provides that "The trustees of the Insane Hospita 1 are hereby authorized and directed to collect from such patients as are of sufficient ability, the just charges of their support," construed without reference to other provisions of the act, is unrestricted as to the time this provision shall remain in force. And since the same appears to have been hitherto treated as in force by the officers and official boards whose special duty it has been to administer the law respecting the hospitals for the insane, I think you will be justified in placing the same construc- tion thereon, and continue to enforce the same until the General Assembly, soon to meet, will have an opportunity to settle the question by more specific provisions. I am, very respectfully, JAS. K. EDSALL, Attorney- General. Our own judgment as to the propriety of maintaining the pay-list was expressed in our second biennial report : 'The view which we take of this subject is, that il the rich pay their share of the taxes for the sup- port of the hospital, they are entitled to their share of the benefits accruing from it. one of which is admission to the hospital, in case of need, without extra charge. The duty imposed upon the superin- tendent, under the present law, of inquiring into the pecuniary ability of each applicant to pay for board and treatment, is one of gieat delicacy aud very disagreeable to both parties ; and it is impossible for Uiiu to ascertain the ti uth, as some persons, unwilling to rest under the stigma of pauperism, repre . sent themselves as more able to pay than they really are, while others are avaricious and falsely pli ad poverty, as an excuse for paying Less ihau they are actually able. It is impossible in the hospital to graduate the amount of attention given in proportion to the amount paid ; the brand of paupei ism upon the majority of the inmates is unkind and often unjust; the presence of pay -patients creates an artificial class distinction ; and a comparison of the amounts paid by different individuals creati s out- side dissatisfaction. All the other state institutions are free. The amount received by the hospital from private persons is ioc small, in oui .judgment, to compensate for the evils which we have iuui cated . We therefore recommend the total abolition of the pay-list.'' 20 The Twenty-Eighth General Assembly did not concur in this opinion, or a1 least, by its appropriations it conveyed the implication that it favored the continuance of the pay-list. Should thepreeenl General Assembly think differently, then our estimates for current expense ap propriations are too low, and should be increased. The receipts for clothing are of course simply a reimbursement for moneys paid out, and the receipts for board alone need to be taken into this account. The re ceipts for board only, in 1874, were : Central Insane Hospital t?, < ; 33 52 Northern Insane Hospital 7, 148 49 Southern Insane Hospital 1, G79 41 Total 117,461 42 Change of Titles necessary. In this connection, we call attention also to the necessity for a change in 1 he legal titles of two of the insane hospitals, viz: those at Jackson- ville and Anna, in order to make them correspond with thai at Elgin. The corporate title of the Jacksonville Hospital is "The Illinois State Hospital for the Insane." This title is no longer distinctive and should be changed, either for "The Illinois Central Hospital for the Insane" or for "The First Illinois Hospital for the Insane." THE INCURABLE INSANE. In the original act creating the institution at Anna, it is called "An Asylum for the Insane," and the language of the twenty-third section conveys the implication that it was designed to be an establishment devoted exclusively or chiefly to incurables. We have opposed this interpretation of the act, for reasons stated in our special report to the senate in the month of February, 1874, on the number and condition of the incurable insane in Illinois. These reasons are as follows : 1. It, la impossible to discriminate, in individual oases, and with absolute certainty, between our aide ainl incurable insanity. While the majority of ohronic oases are also inourable, yel some sur- prising recoveries take place, even where the disease is of long standing. 2. 11 it were possible to determine in every Instance whether a given patient isoi Is not onrable, yet tin- branding of any patient as Incurable, by assigning him to an institution designed exclusively for incurables, would he a cruelty to the patient and to his friends, foi it is always cruel to rob ■ man of liopi-, in- last consolation in the presence of any ill. 8, or whom nothing is expected, nothing will 1 btained. If it is understood by tin- superlnteD limit ami by Hie public that bis patients an' beyond i he reach of hope, the greatest stimulns to exertion .in in, pin i will be removed, and the result will be laxity of discipline, Lnefflolent nursing and medi- cal , .H ■• genera] deterloral Ion in the management, and, In the end, disgraceful failure. 4. in an Institute lesigned for the incurably insane alone, the frequent communication with tin- outside world secured by the constant discharge of recovered patients, would be lacking, and thus an i ■ j 1 1 ... i tanl afeguard against the grov< th nf abuse would be removed. 5. it would uot i"' possible to prevent the admission to any hospital or asylum of patients from the immediate vicinity . who were onrable, and, it possible, it would eot be desirable. 6. All experienoe shows that the presenoe ot ohronio oases of insanity in any institution has a happy influence over the newly insane, and is an aid not only to discipline, l>ut to reoovery on their part. 21 7. If the separation of the incurable from the cnrabla insane is the question to be determined, then the form of the inquiry should be, not whether to make separate provision for the ohronic insane, but whether we shall make separate provision for recent cases ; for the recent cases are the lesa nninerous of tho two. For these and other reasons, we advise, not the erection of mammoth poor houses, under state supervision, for t lie outcast insane of Illinois; but the erection of additional hospitals, whenever the condition of the finances of the State will admit of it. The American 'Journal of Insanity, published at CTtica, N". Y., by Dr. John B. Gray, superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum, pronounces the views just expressed to the humane and just, and in accordance with the most advanced ideas on the subject of the treatment of in- sanity. We reiterate them, in the full confidence that they will stand the tesl both of reason and experience. The title of this institution, there- fore, should be either "The Illinois Southern Hospital for the Insane," or "The Third Illinois Hospital for the Insane." EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY. 4. The Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, at Chicago, re- ceived aid from the state treasury for several years before the adoption of the constitution of 1870. The aid granted was in the form of an annual appropriation for the board of pauper patients from the various couuties of the state, while at the infirmary, undergoing treatment. County patients were not charged for treatment, but for board only, and the amount due to the institution, month by month, was paid to the stewar.d, at the end of the month, by its treasurer, Mr. E. B. McCagg, of Chicago, who drew and held in his hands, under bond, the amount appropriated. The new constitution forbids the granting of aid to any institution or association whatever, which is not owned aud controlled by the state. The trustees, at Governor Palmer's suggestion,' then offered to make the state a deed of their property and place the infirmary entirely in the hands of the state. The state accepted their offer, at the same time granting to the trustees the right to resume the control of the property and funds, for the purpose of continuing the work of the infirmary, should the state at any time hereafter fail to make an appropriation for its maintenance. The institution is carefully and economically managed. Its cost is trifling. Its medical staff is able. By extending relief to county patients, who cannot be successfully treated at home, it saves a number of persons from blindness and pauperism every year, and it would be much more widely useful if it wen- better known. The ap- propriation made two years ago was nine thousand, five hundred dollars per annum. At the time that this appropriation was made, the institu- tion occupied rented property. Since, that time it has removed to its new quarters, on the northwest corner of Peoria and Adams streets, Chicago, where it occupies a building erected partly by a state appro- priation anil partly by fund* from other sources, upon a site Durchac with funds received from the Chicago Belief and Aid Society. The appropriation made was hampered by the old restriction placed upon the appropriations of former }• Ltheowner- ship and control of the organization, an quentlyit has only drawn one instalment of its current expense appropriation namely, nine thou- sand, five hundred dollars, for the 573. The other instalment, for the year 1374, is still in the state treasury. I: now asks for a further appropriation of live thousand dollars for the current expe: J75, and twelve thousand, five hundred dollars for 187& We recommend that the request be granted, and that the appropriation be made in the same form as fur the other state institu- tions.

' INSTITUTION FOR BLIND. 7. The Institution for the Education of the Blind, at .1 acksonville, asks for an appropriation of twenty-seven thousand, five hundred dollars per annum, and an additional appropriation of eight thousand dollars. to meet the increase in expenses from the first of December, L874, to the first of July, 1875, occasioned by the enlargement of the building and the consequent increase in the number of pupils. Two years ago this institution had a balance of Mvh thousand dollars in the state treasury, being the amount appropriated for the last quar- ter of the fiscal year 1872, which it was at liberty to apply in meeting the expenses of the succeeding year. For several years previous, the appropriation for current expenses had been twenty thousand dollars per annum. In view of the balance referred to, the appropriation for 1S73 and 1874 was reduced to seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars per annum. This reduction, as will be observed, was equivalent to an appropriation of twenty thousand dollars per annum. The auditor's books show that the amount drawn in 187.'! and 1874 was thirty-seven thousand and seventy-eight dollars and eighty cents, or two thousand, nine hundred and twenty-one dollars and twenty cents less than the amount to which the institution was entitled for the past two years, and that there was, on the thirtieth of November, 1874, a balance of the appropriation for current expenses still undrawn, amounting to fourteen thousand, five hundred and fifty-one dollars and sixty-tour cents. The institution reports an apparent but not an actual deficiency, on current expense account, as follows : Treasurer's account overdrawn $349 02 Orders outstanding 2, 392 47 Apparent deficiency $2, 74 1 49 Balance in state treasury 2,921 20 Actual surplus f 179 71 The institution, then, has eleven thousand, eight hundred and ten dollars and fifteen cents in the state treasury, for the expenses of the seven months from the first of December. 1874, to the first of July, 1875. We are in doubt as to the amount which ought to be allowed for the increased expenses of the next two years, for the reason that the trus- tees and superintendent are entirely new to their work, ami we do not know what will prove to be the degree of their economy and success. We believe that some increase will be necessary, but we think that five thousand dollars additional, to the first of duly, 1875, and twenty-five thousand dollars per annum thereafter, ought to be enough. 25 FEEBLE-MINDED CHILDREN 8. The Institution for Feebleminded Children, at Jacksonville, asks for a renewal of the former appropriation of twenty-four thousand dol- lars per annum. We believe that in the quarters at present occupied by that institution the amount requested is needed, and should be granted. NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 9. The Normal University, at Normal, asks for a less sum than was appropriated by the last General Assembly. The amount then appro- priated was twelve thousand, nine hundred and eighty-seven dollars and twelve cents, interest on the college and seminary fund, and sixteen thousand dollars in addition. The amount now asked is the interest on the college and seminary fund aforesaid, and fourteen thousand, five hundred dollars in addition. The needs of the university are nearly all for salaries, which are a fixed quantity, and the institution is to be com- mended for its voluntary reduction of expense, although the reduction cannot, in the nature of things, be very large in amount. We fully and heartily endorse its application. SOUTHERN NORMAL. 10. Southern Normal University. — This is another new and untried institution, whose wants it is difficult properly to estimate. The number of pupils, on the thirtieth of November, was one hundred and twenty- seven. The number of teachers employed is tune. This seems to be an extensive organization for so small a school, but the school has just opened, and the faculty are sanguine of a very rapid increase in the number in attendance. The institution asks for twenty-two thousand dollars per annum. We recommend twenty thousand dollars, which is an increase of five thousand dollars over the appropriation of two years ago. II. REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS. CENTRAL INSANE HOSPITAL. The Central Insane Hospital, at Jacksonville, requests an appropria- tion of ten thousand dollars per annum for repairs. In our judgment, this request is eminently reasonable, the more especially in view of the fact that the estimate for repairs is based upon the amount asked for current expenses, namely : one hundred thousand dollars. When Dr. Oarriel took charge of the hospital, the buildings, of which a portion had stood for more than a quarter of a century, were in a state of dilapidation which rendered the most extensive overhauling and re- 26 novation a necessity. Dr. Carriers ability, both as a financier and as a mechanic, peculiarly fitted him for this task. The state has granted him large sums of money for this purpose, all of which he has used to the hot possible advantage, as is clearly shown by the reduction in the cost of fuel to the amount of at least live thousand dollars per annum, since the erection of the new boiler house and the renewal of the heat- in? apparatus. Very extensive alterations and improvements, planned by him and approved both by the trustees and by the commissioners oi public charities, are -rill unfinished or not yet begun. The General As- sembly may feel entire confidence that any moneys appropriated to this institution, under its present management, will be ably and well ex- pended. The necessity for such appropriations, however, is, perhaps, greater in some of the other and newer institutions, whose surroundings and outside improvements are very bare and meagre. In view of the reduction in the estimate for the current expenses of this institution, we do recommeud an additional specific appropriation of twenty-five hundred dollars for a new boiler, which is much needed, and the one thing, apparently, most desired by the superintendent and trustees. This will make a total appropriation recommended by us, for repairs, etc.. of twenty-two thousand, five hundred dollars for two years. NORTHERN INSANE HOSPITAL. The Northern Insane Hospital desires a similar appropriation of ten thousand dollars, per annum, for improvements and repairs. This re- quest, like that of the hospital at Jacksonville, was preferred in the ex- pectation that th«- institution would receive one hundred thousand dol- lars for current expen It may be supposed that a new building ought not to cost anything for repairs. But these extensive structures always require more or less alteration after occupation, and the process of deterioration, in insane hospitals especially, ordinarily begins immediately after such occupa tion. When the heat is turned on. the wood u<>ik begins to shrink; the original coating of paint is not usually so beavj as is desirable ; the plumbing is defective, and many petty expenses of like character have ti> in- met. Bui th. special Decessitj for this appropriation is tbund in tl>«' absent < j of man; greatlj ueeded outside improvements. The building stands naked and bare, upon its sit.-, without airing-courts or the patients or barns and sheds for the stock. The rear building of the institution is scarcely large enough to accommodate properly the domestic department The drying-room and ironing-room, in particular, are altogethei 27 small, and very inconveniently arranged, and will need to be enlarged or removed, before this portion of the work of the institution can be ade- quately and satisfactorily done. We think that ten thousand dollars a year is a very moderate allow- ance for the accomplishment of the purposes for which it will be ex pended. SOUTHERN INSANE HOSPITAL. The Southern Insane Hospital asks only two thousand dollars, per annum, for improvements and repajrs, under this general title, but it does desire a number of specific appropriations, which will be discussed further on iu this report. The request for two thousand dollars a year meets our approval. EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY. The Eye and Ear Infirmary is still more moderate iu its application, which is for one thousand live hundred dollars for the year 1875, and one thousand for the year 1870, We recommend one thousand dollars per annum. soldiers' orphans' home. The Soldiers' 1 Orphans' Home wishes an appropriation of two thousand dollars per annum, an amount which we regard as necessary and proper. DEAF AND DUMB. The Institution for the Deaf and Dumb prefers a request for three thousand dollars per annum, which we also approve. INSTITUTION FOR BLIND. The Institution for the Blind asks for two thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars per annum. We think that one thousand dollars will be sufficient, as the building is new and the premises not extensive. ITT. OTHER SPECIAL REQUESTS. SOUTHERN insane hospital. The Southern Insane Hospital, as has already been stated, is still in an unfinished condition. The amount appropriated, to date, for the completion mid furnishing of this institution, is less than that ap propriated for the hospital at Elgin, by two hundred and ninety- one thousand, tight hundred and four dollars and eighty cents. The institution has not yet been placed in the hands of a single board of control. The portion of the building ready for occupa- tion has been turned over to trustees, to whom is entrusted the 28 management of the hospital, which baa been in operation now forabonl a year. The unfinished portion of the building is still in the hands of three building commissioners, who receive a per diem of five dollars each for their services, [f the present arrangement is continued, two appropriation acts will be necessary, one making an appropriation pay able to the commissioners and the other to the trustees. In that case, we suggest that the commissioners should complete the work which they have thus far successfully prosecuted, namely, the building proper and the water-works, and that all other special improvements and additions should he made under the direction of the superintendent and trust The reason for this suggestion is that the trustees have a special know x ledge of the character and wants of the institution and its inmates, which will be of value to the state in the prosecution of tlie improve ments contemplated. The amount asked for the completion of the iinirr building is ten thousand, five hundred dollars. In order to heat it with steam, a further sum of eight thousand dollars will be necessary. The south wing will require an appropriation of one hundred ami sixty thousand dollars for its construction. An additional appropriation of four thousand dollars will complete the water-works. Tic General Assembly, at its last session, appropriated ninety-nine thousand dollars for the completion, heating, ventilating and furnishing of the centre building. It may lie asked why a further appropriation is now necessary. Tbeanswer is that it is not because the centre build- ing has c<»st or is designed to cost more than the amount appropriated, but because in the process of construction of the entire edifice, as it now stands, it was found necessary to borrow from one fund in order to do work properly chargeable to another. The c missioners have not, perhaps, been as exact in the application of funds to the specific pur pose for which they were appropriated as is desirable The appropriations for the construction of the Southern Insane llo^ pita! have been as follows: "To enable t in- commissioners i<> procure the land and ereol the buildings, and make the Improvements preparatory u> the reception "f Insane persons >" said instil ution, and to supply the necessary furniture for the same'' $i* r >, "•'(> i-'. i • For the completion of the buUding designated ae the north wing of the Southern In Asylum" For the purpose of erecting and completing the Southern Insane asj lum, In accord ance with i be plans and apecinoations heretofore adopted, and for furnishing a portion of the same for the reception of patients" ' l! """ 1873 "For the completion, heating, ventilation and furnishing of the centre building" 99, OM Total I It will be observed that the language of these various acts is, for the most part, vague and imlet erminate. and. to a certain extent warrants the practical interpretation put upon it by the building commissioners. 29 who have treated the successive appropriations Bimply as installments of ono genera] building fund. Of the total amount appropriated to this institution, the sum of nine- ty-two thousand dollars was paid to the original board of building com- missioners, who expended, as nearly as we can state it — For land |17,59S 98 For building 44, 30a su For pec diem, personal and office expenses, <-tr ;jo, 039 -21 To! al $92, 000 00 This board was legislated out of office in 1871 and the present board created. The expenditures 'of the present board to November thirtieth, 1874, out of the appropriations made by the General Assembly, have been as follows : North win;;, contractor $97, ^rfl 44 Rear building, connecting gallerj and basement •>(' centre building 74, Machinery 24, 681 06 Heating 22,848 13 Centre building 47,045 :;o Architect and Superintendent 9 071 :io Water-works 1;,, 109 59 Furniture 9, 502 44 Miscellaneous and incidentals 4, 599 \\-j Total $305, 5TJ 4t The balance in the state treasury, December first, 1874. on this ac- count, was thirty-four thousand, four hundred and twenty-two dollars and fifty-eight cents. According to this statement the estimated cost of construction and heating of the centre building is as follows : Amount already expended $47, 045 30 Balance in state treasury nndra wn 34, • Appropriation asked to complete building 10, 500 00 Appropriation asked to heal building 8; 000 00 Total '. $99, 967 88 The building commissioners, in their zeal to comply with the strict letter of the law, and complete the centre building without asking for further appropriation from the General Assembly for this purpose, authorized and required a number of changes in the plans of the archi- tect originally adopted by them. These changes have detracted some what from the substantial character and value of the building, but the alteration which we most thoroughly disapprove is the substitution of open grates in all the rooms, instead of steam heating by direel or in- direct radiation. We regret to say that no flues for hot air have been left in the walls, and that direct radiation is therefore the only system of steam heating now practicable. We believe that it will be found impossible to heat SO large a building successfully by grates; that the accumulation of soot and ashes "will be a great obstacle to cleanlii and that open grates expose the institution to the daily risk of con- sumption by fire. This risk under the present policy of non-insurance 30 is too great for the state to assume, especially iu a building tilled with insane patients in locked wards. The amount asked for the erection of the south wing includes the cost as estimated by the architect, of plumbing, heating and ventilation. The only hesitation which the commissioners of public charities feel in recommendiug this appropriation arises from two considerations. Th - first is the character of the water supply at Anna. The com- missioners appointed to locate the hospital, instead of selecting the site on the bank of .-ome flowing stream, have placed it where it must de- pend, as at Jacksonville, upon surface drainage and the storage of wat. r in reservoirs. The success, however of the efforts to supply the town of Jacksonville by damming a ravine and catching the water which runs off after a raiu in summer or a thaw in winter, encourages us to hope that the same method adopted here will be equally successful. It is doubtful whether the water in the reservoir, as at present constructed, will be fit for use in summer. Water is said to purify itself if allowed to stand at a depth of twelve feet. But the bottom of the reservoir has not been excavated, for fear of drainiug the water off through hidden sink -holes, and the water is consequently shallow at the edges. w The other consideration, which weighs more heavily with us, is the ab- solute opposition which we feel to any repetition of the blunder which characterizes the plan adopted for the north wing, That wing maybe described as a reversed "L." The top of the "L" is next the centre building, the angleat the north end, and the short horizontal line runs from this point backwards due east. A connecting vestibule in each story separates the wards in the east wing from those in the north wing proper. The entire wing is four stories in height and a basement. There is one ward in each wing on each floor. Thus there are in all four long wards running north and south, one hundred and ninety-eight feet each in length, and four short wards running east and west, seventy-one feet each in lengtb.The number of wards in the wiug is too small to admit of the proper classification of patients ; the long wards are a vast deal too long; they a*e designed for the accommodation of more patients than ought to be collected together^ a single ward ; and they are besides cut off from the light, at one end by the centre of the buiidiug, and at the other by the connecting vestibule between the east wing and the north wing proper. They would be wholly dark, were it not for the conversion of four sin- gle dormitories on each floor into alcoves and for the employment of glass doors between the ward aud the connecting vestibule. We can- not consent, so far as we have any influence or responsibility in this matter, to the building of another wing after the same model ; aud we trust that the General Assembly, should it make the appropriation re- 31 quested, will require the building commissioners to advertise for plans for the new wings to correspond with the wing already erected in out ward appearance, so far as may be, but with a wholly different interior arrangement. The necessity for an •■urly completion of the structure is apparent and pressing, in view of the great number of insane in the state (over three thousand,) and of the forlorn condition of many of them in the county almshouses. For detailed statistics of insanity in Illi- nois we refer 'to our reports already published, with whose substance the people are no doubt familiar. g As to the request for an appropriation of four thousand dollars for the completion of the waterworks, this appropriation also is a necessity in order to secure the investment of fifteen thousand dollars already made in the said works, and to prevent the possible catastrophe of a total loss of the present water supply. The trustees of the Southern Insane Hospital ask for an appropria tiou of fifty thousand, nine huudred dollars, in fourteen items, as fol- lows : I. Furniture for patients tor first floor of north wing, alter completion and occupation of centre building $2, 000 00 3. Furniture for centre building 8, 000 00 v 3. Furniture for chapel 1, 500 CO 4.

Enclosing and painting frame work supporting water tank 700 00 Total $00, 900 00 Of the foregoing requests, we approve the items three, four, eleven and fourteen as they stand ; that is, we recommend the amounts asked for the purposes named. * The sewer of the institution at present empties at a point near the house, and the odors are blown back by the wind, endangering the health of the inmates. It is proposed to extend the sewer, and build a sewage pit at a point farther removed, thus enabling the institution to utilize the sewage for the purpose of fertilization. The water tank on the hill is elevated upon a high frame work, which is not protected from the action of the weather. A slight exxien- diture to enclose the frame will be sound economy. We also approve the items numbered two, five, six, seven, eight, ten and twelve, but recommend the appropriation of smaller amounts, as follows : 32 For furniture for centre building $"■ "00 For stock for farm and carriage for patients 1. 50° F( >i coal ho use 3, 500 For pomp bouse *•• °°0 For carpenter"' shop, engineers' tools, etc 2,000 For barn, ice house aud vegetable cellar 7 . O 00 For fencing and improving grounds *>, 000 The amount appropriated for furnishing the centre building of the Northern Insane Hospital was seven thousand dollars, and this sum was found to be amply sufficient. The aggregate of the other appro- priatiouAiecommended, is twenty thousand dollars. The balance of the current expense appropriation on hand at the close of the fiscal year was four thousand, eight hundred and sixty-eight dollars and seventy- four cents. If the General Assembly will appropriate twenty thousand dollars for the various purposes named above, without restriction as to the cost of the separate items, and will, in addition, authorize the ex- penditure of the balance on hand for the same uses and for the pur- chase of additional furniture needed for the lirst floor of the north wing, the institution will be able to make all the above improvements without difficulty. They are all needed in order to the successful run- ning of the hospital. We have found, in our experience, that too close estimates as to the cost of particular items of this minor description, and the restriction of such cost to an actual sum named in the appro- priation act, do not allow sufficient freedom of action upon the part of trustees. The multiplication of funds is also a great practical dif- ficulty in the way of correct book-keeping, besides giving rise to other evils. As to the thirteenth item, namely, the construction of a road from the town of Anna to the hospital, we can only say that the present road is outrageously bad and needs costly repairs. It crosses three ravines, which ought to be bridged with stone culverts, and the hill tops ought to be graded down. All the coal and other supplies for the institution have to be hauled over this road, a distance of a mile or a mile and a half from the railroad station. We think a portion of the expense of this improvement ought to be borne by the county of Union, but are in doubt whether or not the county will make any such expenditure. Possibly, if the legislature would build the bridges and culverts, the county would do the grading, or the grading might be done, in time, by the labor of the iuisane patients. "We make no recommendation what- ever, as to this item, pro or con. As to the item of three thousand dollars for the construction of towers for water-closets outside the main walls of the building, and the removal of the water-closets frorj their present position in the wards, we have no doubt that in the original construction of an insane hospital ilic>e little retreats should be placed in towers, as recommended by the 33 English Commissioners in Lnnacy. as a sanitary measure. It is also tine that the closers at Anna are not sufficiently ventilated, and that the mephitic gases arising from them are dangerous to the patients" health. We would favor the appropriation, if we were satisfied that the improvement of their ventilation was an impossibility, but in our opinion an attempt at better ventilation should first be made. EYE AND EAR DTFIRltfARY. The trustees of the Eye and Ear Infirmary ask for appropriations as follows: tor furniture, four thousand dollars, payable out of the levy of 1874. ; nd two thousand dollars out of the levy of 1875 : for inci- dentals, one thousand dollars per annum; and for a barn, fifteen hun- dred dollars. They also ask permission to expend the balance on hand of the appropriation formerly made for rent, in the purchase of surgical instruments and appliances for use in the dispensary. The amount of this balance is seven hundred and eighty-five dollars. We do not think the appropriation asked for incidentals, is necessary, if the appropriation to be made for current expenses is relieved of the former restriction as to pauper patients, and made in the same form as lar appropriations for other institutions. The other items, namely for furniture and barn, meet our approval. Only a small portion of the new building is at present furnished, and the institution is obliged to pay for stabling in the city. We doubt whether the estimate of cost of a brick barn is sufficiently liberal. A barn such as ought to be erected in a large ciry. under the fire ordi- nance, will probably cost more than fifteen hundred dollars. There is room upon the infirmary lot for a barn for a horse and one or two eow>. and its erection would be an economy. "We also think that the per- mission to expend the balance of the rent fund in the manner indicated should be granted. soldiers' orphans' h> : The Soldiers' Orphans' Home requests two hundred and fifty dollars per annum for the purchase of books, papers and periodicals for the reading room and library — a very trifling expense, which might be de- frayed, as we think, from the appropriation for current expenses. It also asks one thousand dollars for the construction of cisterns and of a ivservoir for the storage of water. As the Chicago and Alton Eailroad Company have kindly permitted the Home to draw water from the wells in their stock yards, pipes to which are already laid down, ai: the supp y of water from this source has been sufficient and constant, we do not see the necessity for this appropriation. 34 DEAF A1VD DUMB. The Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb prefers an application for fifty-seven thousand, nine bundled and .sixty-six dollars and twenty- five cents, as follows ; For library, $5W> per annum $1,000 00 For completion of school building "'- 173 M y For beating and lighting 5, 355 00 For furnishing 1,000 00 For erection of strops - 1!', '.131 25 For erection of corridors 2, 732 00 For rebuilding rear main building 5, 775 00 Total ?57,96fi 25- The application for an appropriation for the library we regard as very necessary and proper. This institution applied to the last General Assembly, as it had done at several preceding sessions, for one hundred thousand dollars with which to enlarge the institution by the erection of a new chapel and school house. We doubted the wisdom of enlargement, on the ground that within ten years there will be live hundred deaf mute children at school in Illinois, and that a second institution will be necessary before the expiration of that period. We also expressed our conviction that enlargement in one department of the institution would necessitate en- largement in all ; that all the parts of it would require to be readjusted, and proportioned to each other ; that this would involve tearing down and rebuilding, at great expense ; and that the final result would be unsatisfactory to the authorities in charge and to the people of the state. AVe have seen no reason to change these views; but our objec- tions were overruled, and an appropriation for building was made, though of a reduced amount, namely, sixty thousand dollars, instead of one hundred thousand dollars. The trustees contracted for a building to cost eighty thousand dollars, and were replaced, at the adjourned session, by a new board. The amount expended upon the chapel, dining room and school building, up to the 30th of November, 1874, was fifty- eight thousand and seventy-nine dollars and ninety-five cents, leaving a balance undrawn in the state treasury of one thousand, nine hundred and twenty dollars and five cents. The erection of the dining room, school building and chapel, in our judgment, fully commits the state to the logical results of that step, and the readjustment which we predicted must follow in order to the efficiency of the institution. We do not see bow the state can now refuse to do whatever may be necessary to render the working of the institution in its enlarged form successful and cred- itable. The completion of the building already begun is a necessity, and the new shops asked for must sooner or later be provided. 35 In the present embarrassed financial condition of the country at large, however, the institution cau manage to rub along reasonably well for the next two years without an appropriation for shops. As to the completion, heating, lighting and furnishing of the school building, if the unexpended balances now on hand of former special appropriations and of the petit fund, i. e. the fund derived from sales, etc., are transferred to the building fund, a less appropriation for building than that asked by the trustees will be sufficient. The amount of these balauces, as reported, is as follows: Repair fund 8169 79 Insurance fund 240 82 Petit fund 2,542 08 Flooring fund 79 21 South wing fund 34 85 Painting- fund 48 00 Roofi ng fund 1, 557 40 Bedding fund 103 78 Laundry fund 5 64 Heating and lighting fund 440 91 Total $5,222 48 In addition to these balances, the balance on current expense account was three thousand, nine hundred and eighty dollars and ninety cents. Amount asked for school building §22, 173 00 Deduct -„ 5,222 48 $16, 9J0 52 We recommend an appropriation of sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars for the completion of the building; five thousand dol- lars for heating; and one thousand dollars for furnishing the same. The erection of corridors to connect the wings of the maiu structure with the dining room we regard as unnecessary, for the reason that it is but a step from one building to the other, and in very bad weather the corridor between the centre building and the dining room is available for the pupils' use. Neither do we think it necessary to rebuild the rear wall of the main building. To be sure, this wall has sprung and is slightly bent, but very slightly, and being braced by its connections with the dii.i ig room, it can be made fast by anchors. INSTITUTION FOR THE BLIND. I The Institution for the Education of the Blind applies for an appro- priation of two thousand, three hundred and thirty-two dollars ;ind thirty-four cents with which to pay indebtedness on account of the «• in- struction and heating of the centre building, in excess of the amoi nt appropriated therefor; and for a further appropriation of twenty-tli ee thousand, eight hundred dollars for the erection of an engine house, kitchen and dining room, and for heating the west wing with steam. 36 The present trustees very properly disclaim any responsibility on building account. The former trustees, on the other hand, claim that they would have refused to allow some of the "extras" charged by the contractors, and would have insisted upon some "deductions" for alter- ations, which would have brought the cost of the building within the appropriation. It is not improbable that the deficiency is due to the change in the management taking place prior to the final settlement with the contractor. We do not see the necessity for the expenditure by the state of the amount asked for a kitchen and dining room. The dining room is too small, but we are not satisfied that its enlarge- ment is not an impossibility, and if it were, we yet think it would be cheaper and better, in view of the hard times, to set different tables for the two sexes for the next two years than to incur the expense contem- plated. That the west wing would be better heated by steam than as now by furnaces is apparent, and the necessary fixtures could be attached to the heating apparatus in the centre building with comparatively small cost. It is also evident that the boiler is very badly placed, being in the basement, immediately under the main school room, within a foot of the fioor, injuring the building by excessive heat and imperilling the lives of the pupils in case of an explosion. It ought not to have been put where it is, and it should be at once removed. But, although we have not made careful estimates, we think that eight thousand dollars economically and well spent ought to pay for the removal and re setting of the boiler in a separate building, with coal shed attached, and to ex- tend the heating apparatus into the west wing. FEEBLE MINDED CHILDREN. The Institution for Feeble-minded Children renews this winter the ap- plication made, two years ago, for an appropriation of two hundred thousand dollars, of which twenty-five thousand dollars is for the pur- chase of a site, and one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars for the erection of a building designed to accommodate less than two hun- dred and fifty pupils. There is no enterprise of a charitable nature in the state of Illinois which commends itself more to our sympathies than this. It seems to have been regarded by the legislature hitherto, like Bethlehem Ephrata of old, as "a little one among the thousands of Judah," and it has been compelled to wait for its establishment upon a permanent basis until the very last, as may be seen by glancing back at the table on page 15. It was organized in 18G5, as an experiment, under the control of the directors of the Institution for the Edncatiou of the Deaf and Dumb. 37 In 1871, the people of the state, by their representatives, granted it an independent existence and a charter. But it still occupies leased pro- perty in the city of Jacksonville, for which it pays au aunual rental of one thousand dollars. The group of cheap wooden buildings which has sprung up around the old Duncan mansion, in which the superintend- ent aud officers reside, is a perfect tinder box, exposed every hour to the danger of takiug fire from the stoves by which the premises are heated. Should such an accident occur, the entire structure would burn to the ground, under favorable circumstances, in fifteen minutes ; and in all human probability some of the unfortunate inmates would perish miserably in the flames. Even if this were not so, the purely tempo- rary and very inconvenient character of the accommodations, which are inadequate for the reception of more than one huudred pupils, greatly increases the aggregate as well as the per capita cost of the institution. It has been often and truly said that the enterprise should either be provided with better quarters or abandoned altogether. A careful ob- servation of its practical working, during the past six years, has satis- tied us of its utility and value. These children may never reach the high dignity of a seat in a legis- lative body, nor rejoice in the brilliant prospect of wealth which opens before the imagination of a state commissioner of public charities; but under the influence of wise aud patient training, like that which they receive at the hands of Doctor and Mrs. Wilbur, for whose devotion to their charge we have the highest admiration, they are certainly suscep- tible of very great improvement, aud in many cases they can be quali- fied to earn their own support. Viewed as a charity, simply, this insti- tution is the purest charity in the state. We have always taken the ground that our system of public institutions is in its essence merely a form of compulsory insurance against misfortune, in which every citizen holds a policy, and pays his premium in the shape of a tax, apportioned according to the relative ability of each policy holder. We see no reason why idiocy, a calamity only less dreadful to the sufferer's friends than insanity itself, should not be included in the list of misfor- tunes against which an intelligent people protects itself in this mode. We have never had a doubt that the General Assembly would, at some day, make a building appropriation for the benefit of the idiot school. We hope that it will do so this winter. The application for one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars is based upon an actual plan by an architect of ability, aud upon actual estimates of cost of construction, in accordance with said plan. The sum of twenty-five thousand dollars for the purchase of land will perhaps not appear excessive when it is considered that the institution needs a farm of large area, both for the pasturage of cows (these children consume a great quantity of milk), 38 and to furnish a means of physical development and practical education of the boys by farm labor, and that this farm must be adjacent to or not far from some large town. The institution also asks for five hundred dollars per annum for insur- ance. For several years past the state has been its own insurer, sup- posing itself to be as able to carry this risk as any corporation with less resources at its command. But the terms of the Duncan lease require the trustees to keep the premises insured, hence this appropriation will have to be made. INDUSTRIAL UNIVERSITY. The Industrial University asks for a total appropriation of twenty- three thousand dollars in the following items : To pay taxes on lands in Nebraska and Minnesota, §3,000 per annum* S6, 000 00- For library, §1, 000 per annum 2, 000 00 For library cases and furniture 2, . r >00 0O Apparatus for pbysical laboratory 1,00 J 00 Cabinet of Ward's collection of geological casts 2,500 00 Geological and zoological cabinet 2, 500 00 Agricultural museum 1,500 00 Agricultural and horticultural experiments, $1, 500 per annum 3,000 00 Repairs, $1, 000 per annum 2, 000 00 Total $23, 000 00 The payment, by the state, of taxes on lands purchased with agri- cultural college scrip and held by the institution, is one of the condi- tions of the grant by the general government, accepted by the state. The amount of said tax paid in the year 1873, was two thousand, six hundred and sixty dollars and forty-nine cents ; in 1874 it was two thousand, five hundred and forty-two dollars and twenty nine cents. The balance of the former appropriation remains in the state treasury, and will lapse, under the new constitution, at the expiration of the first fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the present General Assembly. It does not matter how much money is appropriated for this purpose: no more money can or will be drawn from the treasury than the actual amount of the taxes due. The appropriations for library, apparatus, and agricultural and horti- cultural experiments are peculiarly germane to the object in view in the founding of the university. They are a mere bagatelle, and the experi- ments on the farm have been approved and sustained by all former legislatures. The appropriation for cabinets and new library cases might perhaps be reduced to five thousand dollars. NORMAL UNIVERSITY. The Normal University desires an appropriation of two thousand dol- lars for the renewal of floors, which are badly worn, and three thousand dollars for a new tin roof. The roof has not been renewed since the 39 building was erected, and leaks in very many places. Both these re- quests are for amounts estimated to be necessary by skilled mechanics, SOUTHERN NORMAL. The Southern Normal University applies for four thousand, five hun- dred dollars for grading and fencing; two thousand, five hundred dol- lars for apparatus and library; and five thousand dollars for additional school furniture. The building occupied by this institution is the finest in the state, and would do credit to any state in the union. It is a question, indeed, whether it is uot too large and too magnificent. But it stands in an opeu lot, without a tree or shrub about it. We recommend that the appropriation asked for grading and fencing be made, payable out of any moneys in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated; and tbink the desire of the trustees to have the bill passed with an emergency clause reasonable and just, as this work should be completed before spring, if possible. An appropriation of three thousand dollars for furniture, payable out of the levy of 1S75, would in our judgment fully meet the necessities of the case. We approve, also, the request for twenty-five hundred dollars for apparatus and library. Recapitulation.

But we call the attention both of legislators and of tax-payers to the following arguments for an enlightened liberality in the direction of public charity : (1.) The number of unfortunates in the state — blind, deaf, insane and idiotic— cannot fall far short of ten thousand. These persons must either be left to perish, or they must be cared for, somewhere— at home, or in the county almshouses, or by the state. Whatever method of caring for them is adopted, they are in any case a source of expense and a drain upon the resources of the commonwealth. The question of appropriations is simply one of method — whether state aid is more economical and efficient than private or county relief. As to this point, we rearard the policy of the state as settled by the past action of the General Assembly, which has received the sanction of popular approval, and is sustained by the experience and example of all the older states of the union. With regard to the insane espe- cially, the principle enunciated by Horace Mann, that they are the wards of the state, appears to be thoroughly inwrought into the popular thought and legislation of the age. But the same principle is equally applicable to the deaf, the blind and the idiotic ; and in some of the states the written consti- tution makes provision for all these classes by the legislature, from year to year, a matter not of choice but of obligation. (2.) It might possibly be shown that private and county relief cost less, in dollars and cents, than state aid ; but it certainly can be shown that state aid is many times more efficient and remunerative. Cook county is the only county in the state of Ulinois which has made formal provision for the treat- ment of insanity, and compared with the insane asylums supported by the different states, in all parts of our land, the Cook County Insane Asylum cannot take rank as anything higher than second or third class, if so high ; while, in an ordinary almshouse, the insane are victims of the most shameful neglect. The blind, the deaf and dumb and the idiotic cannot be educated without the intervention of state in- stitutions. (3.) Any attempt to estimate the pecuniary results of state aid can only be an approximation to the truth. But the education of the deaf and dumb and of the blind, is a pecuniary gain, in so far as it enables these classes to defray the cost of their own support by their own labor. The experiment of special training for idiots is still in its infancy, and we cannot yet definitely estimate the result. The annual saving to the community effected by hospitals for the insane, expensive as these institu- tions are, is immense. A calcu'ation of the pecuniary benefit of the hospital at Jacksonville, given in detail in the first report of this board, upon recognized principles, shows that the money value to soci- ety of patients restored to hea'th by this agency, foots up somewhere between five and ten millions of dollars in excess of all that has been expended upon the institution for land, building and cuirent support. In general, we may safaly say that the public institutions of Illinois have many times repaid their cost, as a cash investment. (4.) The true view of these charitable institutions is, that they are of the nature of all insurance against disaster. Every man is liable to misfortune in his own person or in the person of his family. The tax imposed for the support of public charity is a premium for insurance against such a calamity — the only difference between this premium and one for protection against loss by fire, being that that is voluntas, while this is compulsory. In both cases, he who derives no direct personal benefit from the payment of his premium is more fortunate than the man who does. But in both cases, also, the insured are interested to see that the provision made is sufficient, and of the best character, at the least re'ative cost. Insurance, however, is the principal consideration, and the question of cost, how- ever important in itself, is after all of secondary consequence. (5.) The relief of suffering by the system of public charity does not merely extend to the individ- ual sufferers, bnt to their families and friends. When we consider how many sufferers there are in a great state like this, and how extensive must be the circle of those dependent upon or connected with them, we begin to see what a multitude of persons are interested in the maintenance of the system. (6.) Finally, while the amounts necessary for the support and efficiency of the public institutions themselves are large, they are small, in comparison with the population and wealth of the state. The entire sum now asked, if it were granted, for the next two years, would cost the people of Illinois less than fifty cents each per annum. It is not the state government which is oppressive to the taxpay- ers of Illinois, but the extravagance of many of the counties, cities and towns. While we thus advocate an enlightened liberality toward the public institutions of the state, believ- ing that the expenditure of a portion of the surplus accumulations of the public, every year, for pub- lic uses, by public authority, is a wise and just policy, to which we owe much of our general prosper" . 42 ity and advanced civilization; yet. on the other hand, we are convinced that it is the duty of the in- stitutions (as i>r ;iil other state officials,) to exercise the strictest economy in tin' expendil are of public fund.--, and of the state to insist upon the most rigid accountability for every dollar appropi Should the legislature see fit to grant all that the institutions have asked, we shall not complain. The task imposed upon us by law, of revising the estimates for appropriations, is both delicate and unpleas- ant. We have endeavored to discharge it without favor or prejudice, and to protect at the same time the interests of the institutions and of the state. All that we have attempted to do is to point out to the mem- bers of the General Assembl}*, who may not be familiar with the condi- tion, working and actual needs of the state institutions, the points at which, in our judgment, reductions may be made, if necessary, without the infliction of positive injury. Should the reductions which have been suggested be agreed to, the only evil which will result will be the tem- porary inconvenience arising from delay in the execution of some cher- ished project. We believe that the people desire and demand retrench- ment in all branches of the public service. We wish to meet this ex- pectation. But we fear that it will not be possible to reduce the esti- mates still further without detriment and loss. We have not yet spoken of the adjustment of the appropriations to be made so as that the aggregate amount of appropriations payable out of the revenue of any one year shall fall within the amount levied in the preceding year. We understand that such adjustment is necessary under the constitution, but this is properly the work of the finance and appropriation committees in the two houses of the legislature respec- tively. The form of appropriation acts is a matter of importance, which should receive more attention than is commonly paid to it. The condi- tions upon which appropriations are made payable should be as nearly uniform as possible, both in order to secure equality of privileges and responsibilities among the institutions themselves, and for the conveni- ence of the governor and the auditor of public accounts in the matter of approving vouchers and drawing warrants upon the state treasury. If any appropriations are payable quarterly, all should be. If any in- stitutions are required to file vouchers with the auditor, vouchers should be filed by all of them alike. There is no reason for any unjust discrim- ination in this regard. The present custom is for the officers or friends of an institution to frame and introduce bills with such provisions on the subject of drawing funds from the state treasury as may be agreea- ble to the institution itself. The result has been heretofore a very wide disagreement between the bills framed, in this respect, which compels the governor and auditor to run to the statutes every time that an ap- propriation is drawn. If a general statute were framed relative to the method of drawing appropriations from the treasury, and all appropri- 43 ations were made subject to the provisions of said act, the evils com- plained of would be obviated. If this is not done, the substance of a general formula should be agreed upon, and no bill passed until an ex- amination of the language employed shows that the formula has been rigidly adhered to. Objection has sometime been made to quarterly payments in advance. Some are in favor of monthly drafts; some, of quarterly payments at the end of the quarter ; and some contend that all bills should be paid directly from the state treasury. The last suggestion is too obviously impracticable to merit consideration. Monthly payments are practica- ble, but it is doubtful whether they admit of the purchase of staple ar- ticles in sufficiently large quantities, at moments when the markets are favorable, to be really economical. The only argument for them is that the money of the state should be held in the state treasury as long as possible, rather than placed in the hands of any other custodian. We confess that we do not see the force of this argument. The treasurers of institutions are under bond, as the state treasurer is; their bonds are equally as good as his ; the vaults of a bank are as safe a place of deposit as the vault of the state house ; the money, when deposited in bank, is not so entirely withdrawn from circulation among the people at large; and if in circulation, the people reap the benefit resulting. We also favor payments in advance, for the reason that they enable an institution to make cash purchases. But we think that original or duplicate vouchers should always be filed with some duly authorized official at the seat of government, partly for the preservation of one set of vouchers, should the other set accidentally be destroyed, partly as a check upon the expenditure of the moneys appropriated, and partly for convenience of reference, should the vouchers need to be cousulted for any purpose, either by a committee of the legislature or by any state officer. An analytical statement of the cost of the various buildings erected, for the use of the state institutions, during the past six years, will pro- bably interest citizens of our own state and the readers of this report elsewhere. Such a statement, for several of them, will be found in the appendix. BEVISION OF THE STATUTES. We come now to the other of the two leading questions touching the state institutions, which will, as we suppose, come before the General Assembly at its session this winter, viz: The question of revision of the laws respecting their organization and general management. Of the eleven institutions under the jurisdiction of this board, nine" have charters and two have not. We do not know to what extent the 44 granting of a charter to an institution by the state affects the indepen- dence of the state's action with reference to it or the control of the state over it. We suppose, not at all ; but that all such acts of incorpora- tion are subject to be amended, altered or annulled at the pleasure of the General Assembly, whether so expressed in the origiual charter or not. In revising the statutes upon this subject, we do not see the necessity for a separate act for each one of the state institutions. Notwithstand- ing that there are marked differences between them, in the character of their inmates, the object of their creation and the nature of the benefits bestowed by them, there are nevertheless certain broad principles of organization and accountability which apply to them all alike. The light in which we are accustomed to regard them is that of distinct or- ganisms forming parts of a larger organization, a single department of the state government which should have practically a single head. The question was much discussed, one year ago, of the abolition of the local boards of management and the placing of the whole system of institutions, with its multifarious parts and complex organization, in the hands of a single board, whether appointed by the governor or elected by the people. We do not believe, with the special knowledge of the working of the institutions which we have derived, during our six years' connection with them, that they can be properly managed by a single board, however able, and still less if that board should chance to be composed of men of inferior ability. No one board could success- fully grasp all the petty details of the business of so many separate es- tablishments, scattered over seven counties, distant between three and four hundred miles from each other. The duty of the commissioners of public charities, under the existing law, has been to observe and criti- cise results already accomplished, not to bring those results about, ex- cept in so far as inspection and criticism may have a healthy influence. The credit of success belongs to the local boards and to the superinten- dents. But we have found that even the comparatively light duty re- quired of us is a most onerous tax upon our time and strength, nor would we, being men of families, with domestic and other personal con- cerns of our own requiring our presence and attention at home, be will- ing, even were we compensated for our services, to undertake the task which it has been proposed to saddle upon the shoulders of the unfortu- nate board whose creation has been suggested. There are other objec- tions to the proposition, whose realization, however attractive and plausible it may appear to some, would, without a doubt, be disastrous to the public service, and a lasting occasion of regret to the people of the state. A fund of seven hundred aud fifty thousand dollars per an- num, with so many opportunities to misappropriate it in small amounts, 45 without detection, would be a strong inducement to dishonest men to use every art within their reach to secure a position, which would ap- pear to them so desirable ; and it is barely possible that even passably good men might be to a greater or less extent corrupted in the handling of it. We call the attention of the General Assembly to the lack of clear- ness in several of the statutes fixing the number of trustees of certain institutions, as to the duration of their term of office. In the law creat- ing the board of public charities, the number of trustees of the insane hospital at Jacksonville, also of the institutions for the deaf and dumb, and blind, and of the soldiers' orphans' home, was reduced to three, but nothing is said with respect to the division of these boards into classes, nor as to the term for which any of the classes or the board itself shall serve. In the act creating the Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, no limit is fixed for the service of the trustees authorized to be appointed in the act, nor is there any provision for the filling of vacancies occasioned by death, removal or resignation. In the act authorizing the appointment of trustees for the Southern Illinois In- sane Asylum, and for the Southern Illinois Normal School, it is pro- vided that the trustees of the insane asylum "shall serve for the same term and in the same manner as is provided by law for the trustees of the Illinois Hospital for the Insane, at Jacksonville," and that the trustees of the normal school " shall serve the same term and in the same manner, shall have the same rights, privileges and powers, per- form the same duties and be governed by the same laws as the trustees of the Xormal School, at Xormal." But, as has just been said, the term of service of the trustees of the hospital for the insane at Jacksonville is not definitely prescribed bylaw; and the board of education at Isormal consists of fourteen members, while for the southern normal university the number of trustees is only five. Thus there are six pub- lic institutions, with twenty-two trustees, the duration of whose ap- pointment depends upon the will of the executive, or upon his construc- of the meaning of an ambiguous statute in the light of some former act, now repealed. If the terms for which trustees of all state institutions are appointed were made to expire uniformly, either upon the first of January or upon the first of July, every year or every other year, and if they were so regulated by law as that in all cases only a portion of each board should cease to act at a given date, thus securing to the in- stitutions continuity of experience and control, the entire system would feel the beneficial effect of such a change. The first of January is nearer the commencement of a session of the General Assembly; the first of July is the date at which new appropriation acts ordinarily take effect. 46 If the local boards are to be contiuued, what should be the number of individuals composing each board ? We should say not more than five ; and the number three, which has been tried in six of our institu- tions for the past six years, has been found to secure probably the high- est degree of efficiency joined to the smallest cost. A larger number, however, may be necessary for the educational than for the charitable institutions. The powers of trustees, whatever the nature of the institution over which they have control, are, or ought to be substantially the same. The limit of their powers and the character and degree of their respon- sibility may easily be defined for all these institutions alike in a single section. They may be required to meet at stated times, with similar intervals between their meetings, whether of one or three months, as the case may be. Tbeir relations to the superintendents and other officers and em- ployees need not differ in the different institutions. In our opinion no superintendent should be an ex officio member of the board to which he is accountable, on the general principle that this is to make a public officer accountable to himself, and that for him to sit as a member of the board gives him an undue influence over its deliberations. So also of the rights and duties of superintendents. A superinten- dent is a superintendent, whether it be of an insane hospital or of & normal university, and in either case must have whatever degree of authority is necessary, to enable him to control the spirit and conduct of the institution for whose good management he is held responsible. His authority, however, must in all cases be subordinate to that of the trustees, who are not merely official visitors, but are entitled to the ulti- mate control of the institution in all its departments; nut as individual trustees, however, but as an organized body, acting by formal resolu- tion, duly entered upon their minutes; and upon them alone, or princi- pally, will fall the blame and public disgrace of mismanagement or failure. The treasurer is another important officer, whose duties are the same for substance in any institution. He is the custodian of the cash re- ceipts, from whatever source derived, and should be required to keep the different sums separate from each other, to pay out no moneys ex- cept upon the orders of the board acting through some person designa- ted as their agent, and to make a correct statement, in proper form, of all deposits, payments and balances, when called upon by those having the right to demand such information. He should give suitable and sufficient bond for the safe keeping and delivery of the moneys entrusted to his care. 47 It has been suggested, but certainly erroneously, that the treasurer of an institution should also be its book-keeper, and that his statements should show the character of the expenditure of the funds. We hold differently, namely, that the treasurer need not know for what purposes the money is paid out. He is not accountable for the disposition of funds, but only for their custody ; and book-keeping is not the function of the treasurer, but of the clerk, who is usually also the purchasing agent acting under the direction of the superintendent. The remark made above respecting the theoretical propriety of the superintendent being also a trustee seems to us to apply in like manner to the treasurer. In the matter of the purchase of supplies, perhaps undue value has been placed by some upon the system of purchasing by contract. It does not always happen that contract prices are the lowest prices ; but it does ofteu happen that articles furnished by a contractor are of au inferior quality, nor is it an unusual circumstance that the contractor holds the purchaser more firmly to the fulfillment of the contract, on his part, than the purchaser holds the contractor. Au honest and ca- pable buyer will probably generally buy to best advantage in open mar- ket, and a dishonest purchasing agent will not become honest by the magic influence of a contract, but the existence of a contract may afford him a very convenient screen for his dishonesty. The auditing of bills, and the proper form of vouchers and accounts, are also matters worthy of attention in any general law which may be framed touching this subject. We think that as a rule, (admitting, however, of exceptions,) bills should be audited by the board before being paid ; and that the amount and character of the exceptions should be determined either by general or special act of the trustees. We have already spoken above of the necessity for a uniform system of drafts upon the public treasury. The foregoing are some of the points which might as well be discussed and settled in a single bill as in eleven different bills, and it w r ould not be so easy for any one institution to depart from the established line of action, once adopted by the sta'te, by means of an amendment to a bill affecting the relations of eleven institutions, as if the act to be amended related only to itself. It would be easy to engraft upon the general provisions of an act whose outlines we have sketched, those special enactments necessary in the case of individual institutions, and not found elsewhere on the statute books. INSANE DISTRICTS. There remains yet one subject, of which no mention has been made in this report, which yet calls for legislative action. It is the apportion- 48 merit of the counties to the three insane hospitals. At this time, coun- ties are required by law to make application for tbe admission of insane paupers, in the first instance, to the hospital nearest them, and should the patient be rejected for any cause, they may afterward make appli- cation to either of the other hospitals. On the other hand, the original charter of the insane hospital at Jacksonville declares (section 10) that the admission of insane patients from the several counties in this state shall be in proportion to the populatioa of the same: Provided, that each county shall be entitled to send at least one insane patient. The laws creating the other insane hospitals declare that patients shall be admitted iuto them upon the same terms as at Jacksonville. Each one of the three institutions, in compliance with the law, keeps, or should keep, what is called a " quota book, v by which to determine how many patients each county is entitled to have at any one time in the hospital. When the quota of a county is full, the authorities may, at their discre- tion, reject subsequent applications for the admission of patients from the same county. The practical operation of the two laws, the one gov- erning the applications for admission and the other governing admis- sions, is that there were patients last year in the northern hospital from Marion and Williamson counties, and in the southern hospital from McHenry and Mercer. It is evident that this crossing of each other's natural boundaries is a source of additional expense for transportation to the people of the counties, both in the north and at the south end of the state. The necessity for districting the state is felt by the hos- pital in another way. When an application for admission is received from any county, it is impossible for the superintendent to know or in any practicable way to ascertain the number of patients which that county may have in the other hospitals, or to judge whether or not jus- tice to the county requires that their application should be granted. THE BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES. It will perhaps be expected of us that we should say something with respect to our own work and our own appreciation of its value and ne- cessity. Our duties include, first, the inspection of the state institutions, and second, the inspection of county alms-houses and jails. The first is probably more highly appreciated by the General Assembly, but we place the highest value upon the other department of our labors. The two supplement each other, and from our experience of results we would be unwilling to dispense with either. As to the state institutions, we have endeavored to mediate between them and the legislature, having regard, on the one hand, to their needs, and on the other, to the reasonable reluctance of the people to pay exorbitant or unnecessary taxes. It has been our aim not to en- 49 croach upon the executive functions and responsibilities of the local boards of control, nor upon the legislative function and prerogative of the General Assembly. Our own conception of our position and rela- tions has been, that the peculiar duty devolving upon this board, under the law, is to know what the institutions are doing, and to report all the facts, without fear or favor, to the legislature, for its information, with a view to judicious legislation. We do not believe that this task cau be accomplished, without the expenditure of more time and effort than can be given to it by any committee of the General Assembly ; nor do we believe that the trustees of institutions, however capable or frank, can perform it to the satisfaction of the public, in their individual reports, which are necessarily coutiued to the narrow purview of a single interest. It is not possible that these reports should give any broad comprehensive view of the entire field of eleemosynary work un- dertaken by the state. Neither are they framed upun auy uniform model, so as to enable the legislature to make comparisons between the different institutions, as to their respective cost and results. Tn our relations to the General Assembly, which are of a confidential and advisory character, we have sought to point out wherein the cost of the state institutions may be diminished, without any diminution of their efficiency. In our relations with the institutions, our aim has been to point out methods of increasing their efficiency, aud to make them more sensible of their accountability. If we have been able, in any respect, as we think, to improve the dis- cipline, organization and general morale of any or all the public institu- tions of this state, it has been, not by the exercise of an authority which we do not possess, but of personal and official influence, based upon our appreciation ot their work and our regard for their interests as well as their rights. The burden of all our correspondence and com- munication with them has been the supreme authority of the law; the accountability of public officials; the necessity for economy in the ex- penditure of public funds; the importance of thorough organization; the value of complete and accurate records; the impolicy of conceal- ment and misrepresentation ; and the desirability of as great a degree of uniformity in their methods of transacting business as may be practi- cable. We have a strong couviction that the result of our efforts, in improv- ing the efficiency of this branch of the public service and in reducing it to a more perfect system, with a higher degree of unity and simplicity, will become more apparent as our work becomes better known. This couviction is strengthened by the reflex opinion of those best qualified to judge, who have given the subject most attention and study. The necessity for general supervision of this description arises from —4 50 the number ami magnitude of the appropriations voted at each session of the General Assembly, for charitable and educational purposes. It is .-scarcely conceivable that the people of the state will authorize or ap- prove au annual expenditure, by the state institutions, of between seven and eight hundred thousand dollars, without the adoption and main- tenance of every reasonable check and safeguard which can be thrown around it. We know of no more simple and efficient check than the watchful care of a central supervisory board, entrusted with the neces- sary powers. As to our work in the visitation of /county almshouses and jails, we point with gratification and pride to the manifold and constantly multi- plying evidences of an awakening of thought and sensibility in relation to the condition of the criminal and pauper class, in so mauy counties, in all sections of the state. The number of new jails and almshouses erected in Illinois since this board commenced its round of annual in- spection and criticism is very great. The new structures exhibit a much better appreciation of the wants of the unfortunate classes, and of the character of treatment proper to be given to them. In many of the counties also, where the old buildings still stand, there has been a great improvement in respect of organization and humanity of treatment. We are convinced that these institutions, which are often situated in ob- scure localities, and command but small notice, even at the hand of the county officers, require inspection even more than the public institutions of the state, which are placed upon a lofty pinnacle of observation and are always under the eye of the governor and of the legislature. We are also satisfied, from the experience and observation of the past Biz years, that an annual visit by a duly authorized state inspector exerts a powerful and healthy effect, in most instances, over the keepers and other officials, both of the almshouses and of the jails, and leads to the reformation of many existing abuses. We have found, too, that the knowledge gained by these visits is of great value to us in enabling us to estimate more truly the real necessi- ty for our state institutions and the benefits derived from them by the community at large. The newly awakened interest in the popular mind relates chiefly to three classes of unfortunates, the insane, the idiotic, and the criminal. The number of the insane in Illinois was not known, nor was their unfortunate condition upon the county farms at all realized, until the facts in the case were brought to light by the investigations of this board. The same remark applies also to the number and situation of the idiots of the state and the possibility of ameliorating the midnight dark- ness of their intellectual degeneracy by segregation and physiological training. 51 As to the criminal class, we discover everywhere the indications of a feeling, sometimes vague, sometimes distinct and emphatic, that the ex- isting methods of dealing with them are wholly inadequate. Judges, sher- iffs and attorneys alike unite in pronouncing the county jail system an al- most total failure, both in respect of its reformatory and of its deterrent in- fluence upon the mind of offenders against law. The need of a better classi- fication of prisoners is everywhere felt. The idea of indefinite sentences for crime constantly gains ground. The duty of the state to respect the rights even of a criminal, while protecting society against his depreda- tions, and to provide in the prison itself the means and appliances of reformation for all who are susceptible of reformatory influence, forces itself daily upon reflecting minds. In this work of prison reform the commissioners of public charities hope to bear some humble part, with the sanction and by the authority of the state. We feel that in the advance of modern civilization, the state of Illinois, with her bound- less wealth and her intelligent, public spirited citizenship, ought to oc- cupy a position in the vanguard. But upon this subject we shall ex- press ourselves more fully iu a special report, soon to be submitted, up- on the county almshouses and jails, in which the opinions advanced will be supported by a powerful array of statistical and other facts. The annual appropriation for the expeuses of this board is fifty-five hundred dollars. By the exercise of strict economy on the part of the commissioners, it has thus far proved sufficieut, but we are free to say that a smaller sum will not enable us to carry on successfully the work entrusted to our hands. The commissioners receive no compensation for their services, and require the assistance of an educated man, of general information and social culture and position, as secretary, to whom they are obliged to pay a sufficient living salary. They might employ a mere clerk, for less money, but a mere clerk would not fill the requirements of the office. The only other outlay of the board is for the necessary office and traveling expenses. WATER SUPPLY AT JACKSONVILLE. Ill our first biennial report, presented to the governor in the month of December, 1870, we made certain statements as to the then existing deficiency in the water supply for the public institutions at Jacksonville, which gave natural but undesigned offence to the citizens of that town. It affords us great gratification to be able to state that in our judgment the lack formerly complained of no longer exists. The city has con- structed a system of waterworks, by damming a ravine about a mile east of the insane hospital, and catching the surface drainage and the overflow alter a rain or a melting snow. The engineer employed was Mr. E. S. Chesbrough, of Chicago, who, after personal inspection of the 52 locality and much careful study, furnished a plan and specifications, which have fully realized the expectations of the originators of the scheme. The present capacity of the impounding reservoir is fifty mil- lion gallons. Its capacity can be doubled, when necessary, with little additional expense. The dam is eighteen feet high, and in no part of the reservoir does the water stand less than twelve feet deep. That depth insures pure water at all seasons of the year; as it is claimed, and we believe it to be a fact, that water stored in depth of not less than twelve feet will not stagnate nor become impure. To effect this depth an excavation was made to the extent of ninety-three thousand cubic yards. After closiug the gate in the weir, the reservoir filled iu four weeks, and since that time — during nearly one year's operation of the works — at no time has the water been more than two feet below the point of overflow. From the impounding reservoir the water is con- veyed, through iron pipes, by the action of a powerful steam pump, to a second or distributing reservoir, on College Hill, immediately south of the institution for the deaf aud dumb. The capacity of the distributing reservoir is two and a half million gallons. Its elevation is ninety feet above the public square, and the head is found to be sufficient to throw water, without the intervention of an engine, from the fire-plugs at the curb stoue, over any houses in the city, save a few in the immediate neighborhood of the reservoir. Seven and a half miles of cast-iron water-pipes (three miles of which, through the centre of the city, is ten inches in diameter, the remainder being six inches in diameter,) are now laid and in operation in the prin- cipal streets of Jacksonville, and furnished with fire hydrants at proper intervals. The principal pump in use will raise thirty thousand to forty thousaud gallons an hour. It has done all the pumping during the past year, and has proved itself equal to the strain. The reserve pump has a capacity of from twenty to twenty-five thousand gallons an hour. Both were built at the Niagara Steam Pump Works, Brooklyn, New York. They cost five thousand dollars. The amount expended on construction of the works to date has been little less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. They have been in operation since the fourth day of February, 1874. Every part of them lias performed completely the work which it was designed to effect; nothing has had to be done over again or replaced. The result has been more than satisfactory to citizens and tax-payers. The supply of water is abundant, and the quality good enough for steam boilers or for culinary uses. Many families use no other for all domestic purposes. The success of this experiment, attempted, so far as we are aware, for the first time upon a large scale, is a legitimate source of cougratula- tion, not only to the people of Jacksonville, but of the state of Illinois and of tbe entire northwest, who have seen with dismay the gradual drying up of streams, ponds and springs within the past fifty years, and have experienced the inconveniences everywhere arising from the want of an abundant supply of pure and healthy water. FILTRATION. In our judgment, however, wherever dependence is placed upon sur- face drainage, it is not enough that the water should stand at the depth of twelve feet in the impounding reservoir. Notwithstanding this pre- c aution, organic impurities will manifest their presence in the course of time. It cannot be otherwise. We think that some method of filtra- tion is essential to the success of waterworks constructed upon this plan, and that the filter constructed by Dr. Carriel at the insane hospi- tal is an admirable model, worthy of imitation wherever this plan is adopted. We append a description of this filter iu Dr. Carriel's own words : The principal impurities in the water obtained from the Mauvaisterre creek, the source of our own supply, are tine sediments and vegetable fibres which discolor the water, and in the summer months minute organisms, both vegetable and animal, which probably prevail more or less in all river waters. The sediments in water can be pretty generally removed by settling basins or reservoirs, but the or- ganisms can only be gotten rid of by filtration. During tbe past year a filter has been constructed in manner as folio wa.: A building has been put up, of brick, thirty by forty-five feet, extending six feet below the surface and about ten feet above the ground. It has four small windows on each side and a door in each end, and is roofed in like any enclosed building. The filter is thirty-four by thirty feet, and about five and a half feet deep. The bottom is made slightly depending towards the centre and to one end, then floored over with brick laid down in hydraulic cement and well grouted. It has a central drain eight by nine inches, made of brick and covered with fiat stones. Side drains, made of brick, two by four inches, and placed two feet apart, open into the central drain. At one end of the main drain a small well is built up four feet high, having openings placed one foot apart, the object being to graduate the weight of water on surface of filter. On floor of filter and drains is placed one foot of rock broken so as to pass through a four inch ring. On this another foot of rook broken so as to pass through a two inch ring ; then six inches of charcoal, then twelve inches of gravel, and lastly twenty-four inches of sand ; or thus : Sand 24 inches Gravel 12 " Charcoal 6 " Rock, two inch cubes 12 " Rock, four inch cubes . , 12 ' ' Total CC inches This filtered water discharges into a clear water space ten by thirty feet, and passes by its own gravity into boiler room, from which it is pumped into tanks iu attic as is required for use. The best authorities give eighty gallons per day of twenty-four hours as the proper quantity of water to pass through each square foot of filter surface. This amount gives our filter a capacity of something over seventy thousand gallons per day. The object in building so large was to obtain the required amount of water each day, in the usual working hours. This large capacity also gives opportunity for cleansing and renewal. This filter has been in opera* tion about four months, and works most sa tisfactorily. The water is perfectly limpid, and J8 used for all purposes. 54 CONCLUSION We have now alluded to all the important topics of legislation likely to come before the General Assembly at its present session, bo far as we are aware; and whether our suggestions are accepted or not by your excellency, and by that honorable body, we trust that they may afford a sound basis for discussion, and for such action as may be taken by the immediate representatives of the people. We have abstained from the discussion of general, allied topics, relating to the condition and necessities of the unfortunate classes, because we have reserved our strength for the consideration of the jail and alms-hou^e system, which we shall thoroughly examine, in a separate and special report, which is nevertheless in effect a part of the report now submitted.

Resolved, Thai if said committee cannot get the necessary informa- tion from the State Hoard of Public Charities and the several depart- ments of stale, that they are hereby instructed to visit said institutions, for the purpose of collecting such information, and that they report 'he result of their investigation during the present session of the general assembly ; that if the interest of the state requires it, said committee report a bill revising the law governing said institutions, and as far as may be to remedy the evils complained of. 161 |\'ul-R. — The following net waa accidentally omitted from the foregoing list in making up the form fol ttie press.] 1839.
