| Three weeks have
elapsed since the legislature conven
ed and though little has been actual
~ consumated in enacting laws q
large amount of work has been laid
out, and is in state of forwardness
The bill for State Reform School
has been under consideration in
Committee of the Whole-in the Sen.
ate for the greater part Of two sit.
tings. This bill will surely pass, but
do not think that when passed il
will be all that may be desired by
the friends OF such an Institution.
do not say this because / think there
are perhaps any real enemies of the
measure in the legislature, but be-
cause there is want of information
among Legislators, as to the real needs
of such a bill Few men in the
State are acquainted with the prac-
tical workings of q Reform, School,
