increase Of the total population than the above
estimate.
The progress o. the common schools OF Ohio
tinee their reorganization under the act OF
1898 has been very encouraging. The nunb4r oil
schools bss rsen from 1854 to II 500, OF schoo-housss
from $50 to l0,497, Of teachers from 1881
TO 9s13, ard their corporation from sSoo,li9
to sle75, ,s32 Tas ruuber Of pupils enrolled has IN
creased from 3s Az to 609 3i2 and the daily attend
snce from 27 le6 s63. But these hgurss do not
by any means Indicate the total improvement. Tie
scboohouses have been greatly improved the stss-
dtrd Of quafcsto oste.cters rssed better ne hols
ofshiI have been irtrod 1oed the range and scope
Of instruction have been enlarged aod the results in
! thu improvement, of the pupils largely augmented. In
addition to these public schools there are many schools
.Gstared by private denom national resources sso,
q number Of colleges ard female seminaries which
contribate to the education otthe people. The Gov
recommends Legislative provision for STAIN
ing Information concerning teess institutions, sart 70
that furnished by the Common School reports, AMI ne
also suggests tie expedercy Of some Classification OF
tie igher teninLries TO be estsbhhei by law, snd
soue educational standard 10 which they should be
required to ecuorm es c-15tion Of ncor poraon. IL
certainly reasonable that when institution is
vested oy law with the right TO call itsef university
or college i. hould also be required by law, as a
con6ticn of bearing that title, to be college or uni-
vsrsiiy in fact.
Tn, csererce between Tie entire population ofschool
age and the number stuslly enrolled in toe schools
amounts 3i 497 and after sl allowance for attend
snos private schools indicates, along With the snail
comparative umber in daily ATTENDANCE one chief de-
feet in the existing system to wit absenteei-m. Ar

Govenor proposes that the State Commissioner Of

duty Of plan sdoped elsewhere with the
hsppie-t ef,c,s.
Tie $ ate las three asylums for the rssne-s Gen.
trsl arorih.rn and ssouihen ore-~th fourth pro-
gress CRED for the special accommodation of Gin
cir att and Hamilton County. The accommodations
however are not sufficient for the whole number
/ of in-sne persons, vaIiously estimated at from
to $500; and the Governor recommends law
for toe establishment aad regulation Of private
asyluus in which large numbe, Of the in'ane might
be provided for by their friends without chsrge to the
State A beginning made by the last General
Assembly in providing instruction for idiots, who
est sted at about 20G0 Of whom 500 are of proper
,ge to receive lis uctOn. The Governor recommends
q permsnt ut provision for this charity For deaf

tc do il in way to make them comfortable a1d hsppy
than 10 way alike painful and Injurious to thenelYes
and to others. With this object in view the Governor
recommei Dc return to the original system of reqar-
ing where the circumstances OF the parties justify it.
Il at iey or ther friends should pay the cott of their
support in the public institutions, thus opening the way
or the establishment OF private ssylums at which also
a certain number Of poor patients might be economi-
cally ma III aired a. the public cost.

at 2sC0, and Of persons receyirg outdoor relef ST
- Goa much ess proportion to the Whole population
than in Massachusetts or NewYork. The average
number in Jail, iLoluling b,th the accused and the
convicted is estinated ~ II 400 The number of
arrests tie past year for violation OF Police ordinances
was 1858; for against the State not prosecuted
By Indictment, about 3,200 Of indictments, $780, of
jutg gmeuts on indictments, 800. There were ~
MURDERS and CO sucides.

remsded how yer, not much by legislation as b.
Increased vigilance snd 6Imness the part Of tn,

satisfied That mu -derers often escape conviction

TIE punber Of civil suits in 1853 was about N, 900
The judgments rendered Is 900. Much the larger
number collection suits, three fourhs Of the
whole humber Lolpg for unsecured debts, OF which,
ssys ,ls Governor at s estimated he does not say
by whom, but strongly suspect by some collecting
attorney" that hire tenths of the amount sued for
"w.s recovered or l. recoverable" This estinat ts'
