tees Of the State Asylum for Imbecile Youth

THE GIRLS INDUSTRIAL HOME.
The eighth annual report of the Trustees
and Superintendent of the Girls Industrial
Home has been submitted. The Trustees
say, assuming as they think the safety rule,
that the home has passed beyond the embry-
otic period, can no longer be regarded as an
experiment, but may now properly be rec
ognized as one of the established benevolent
and philanthropic enterprises of the State
they ask for it as much recognition as other
kindred institutions receive. The necessity
for further accommodations in the way of
buildings is pressing, and cannot be ignored
or even postponed without serious detri-
ment to the interests for which it was estab-
lished. The following appropriations are
asked for Current expenses, 49,, 900; sala-
ries Of officers and teachers, $780, ordinary
repairs, $500; two new family buildings, $25,
600; furnishing same, $500; improvement
of lawn, $500; repairs TO sulphur springs,
$3Di removing and repairing old building,
$500. The account for last year stands:

1875, 175. Number received during the year,
AZ; discharged, 23 The number of inmates
received the present year falls materially

of this is want of room to receive those
making application.
