answering it's benefcent designs, and its az
fairs are managed in the most satisfactory
manner by it's able Board or Trustees and its
faithful and skiliful Superintendent. 1t is
not believed that any similer Institution IN
the country is conducted with more devoted
philanthropy or with more eminent success
The State Reform School is undoubtedly
