THE GIFT.
EpGEwooD. Jan, II. 1873.
His Ercelency |'m T.. Smith, Governor Of
Wisconsin.
lshmeht of an Industrial School for Girls in this
state, similar to the one for boys al Waukesha
has been brought to the attention OF the legisa-
ture every year, by tho state board of charities
and reform. since the board was created Mrs
Lyndc, OF Milwaukee, for several years member
of the board, and lady deserving the highest
consideration and praise for her untiring and
philanthropic efforts to receive from the paths OF
evil and crime, all those whose steps were lead
ing to destructon especially those of her own
sex has set forth in many urgent. forcibe and
eloquent reports the needs of the unhappy class
to be benefited by snch an institution, and her
reports have always received the unanimous
sanction of the board. The School for Boys, at
Waukesha, is confessedy an Invaluable one to
the state. Are not our girls equally worthy OF
salvation.
Among my many sins Of omission, 1 reckon
none greater than my neglect to REINFORCE the
recommendations In behalf OF this neglected
class, while occupied the chair which you now
Ill., intended to have spoken to you and asked
you to call special attention to this matter in
your message, but it slipped from my mind
while had the opportunity. notice that you
make no mention of the subject, and presume
that the reason was, 1t did not occur TO you.
Though so often urged by and faithfully pressed
upon the attention OF the legislature by those to
whom the state has intrusted that and kindred
subjects, no action has yet been taken to secure
this desired object.
Fully impressed rs am, with the belief that
the establishment of such school Will be the
means of rescuing many, from the descending
roads leading to crime and degradation, beg to
offer to the state through you. for that purpose,
my present residence at Edgewood.
Should the Legislature see proper to accept it,
| shall be prepared to give possession within n
few months. With high regard.
Your obt S'v't
c, G. wAsHBURN.
