/ the work in AVID about the Institution, such az
cultivatins several acres OF garden, raising and
tending stock, hauling ond preparing fuel, &c, DC
The yearly expenses OF this institution TO the
state, exceed $4,000. The ratio Of expense per

10 be about FIVE hundred, Of which La Sale coun
~ has seven.
