Illinois Institution for Idiots aud Imbeciles.

THIS institution, authorized by an act of the
last session of the Illinois Legislature, Is now or
ganized and receiving pupils Experienced Of
f:ers have been obtained. and are now Inaugural
ting this enterprise. The requisite attend ants
will be employed circums- ances NAV render
necessary from time to time. Both officers and
attendants are actuated and governed by purely
philanthropic motives and christian principles,
and in their ad nniStration of the afaIrs OF the
institution will exeruise most tender ana parental
treatment toward the unfortunate chiIdren en-
trusted 20 their care
The institution is designed for children whose
mental dcvoopement Is so far retarded as TO I'M
fit them for common school, or whose idiosyn-
crasies make them unsuitable companions OF
children more highly favored intellectually. Ii
Is not designed to be custodIai IN Its character,
but to furnish to that portion of the children OF
the state mentioned above, system of Instruc'
ton more rudmentary than any practIced IN our
common schools.
Children who are insane epilepCic not
in a teachable condition, and consequently may
not properly be classed among those for whose
amelioration and elevation this institution Is de-
signed.
The usual age for the admission of children
to such institutions is from seven to fourteen
wears. A considerable number of applications
have already been made for admission. Others
desigL ing to apply should do the
communications of the buildings though good
limited.
The mansion and residence of the late Govern,
or Duncan have been secured and will be used
for the institution. The location s healthy and
accessible, vet retired from the gaze of idle
spectators. The surroundings are ali pleasant
and as fully suited the purI for which they
are to be used as could be expected in any bull
ding not constructed with special reference
thereto.
Persons knowing tie residence of feeble mind
ed children in Illinois will confer favor by writ
ing 20 that effect to the undersigned.
Applications for admission, information, etc,
should be directed to
