THE STATE CHARITIES.

The annual reports of the various charitable
institutions of the commonwealth exhibit an
encouraging condition of usefulness and pros
perity. Some of them have been visited with
calamity, and all of them show that there is
still in Massachusetts, with all her wealth and
virtue, fearful amount of poverty, suffering,
and tendency to crime. The inmates of the
present time. The whole number which has
been connected with the institution since Its
foundation is not far from 1000. The history
of these unpromising boys has been traced
and preserved with considerable accuracy.
Death has taken AZ of them. Fate worse than
death, the deliberate intention of evi-ooing'
has been chosen by 2S1 others OF the rest
who have left the institution, 1917 boys are
known to have done WELL This is a better
record than has been claimed by the trustees
before OF the boys committed during the
past year, q were foreign aud III native born.
The Industrial School for Girls is in cheer
ing condition. Among the 1877 who have been
connected with the institution there have been
no escapes, no deaths, and but little sickness
The girls become warmly attached 10 the
Institution, and exhibit manifest tendencies to
improvement and reform. The building au-
thorized by the last legislature is nearly COM
pleted.
Good reports, comparatively, come from the
State Almshouse at Monson. The number of
inmates at the beginning of the year was
965; admitted and born since, 1878; discharg-
ed, indenturcd, deserted, and died, f44S. The
decrease from Il g average number supported
in 1853 was 243. The reports states that
there is large and increasing class who, from
q course of criminality has been Obliged to
seek the almshouse as a lying-inhospital, or as
a home for themselves and illegtimate chill
dren. At least a dozen unfortunate young
women of this class have been admitted dur
red at the institution during the year.
The asylum at Taunton is crowded with
inmates, and the number of admissions has
exceeded that of any former year. Of the 231
commitments, religious excitement furnished
II patients, and spiritua lism, q Their health
has been unusually good,
No important recommendations are made in
the various reports contemplating changes in
legislation, or in the general management of
the institutions. The trustees of the reform
school, however, ask such modification of
the law that boys shall not be sent there after
reaching the age of IA years, and the abolition
of alternative sentences, as they induce boys
to be restless, in the hope of being sent away
