In view of the rapid increase Of scholars in
our public schools. and OF the advantage
taken of the law permitting the formation OF
new districts. and the consequent dmunition
OF the dividend to each school. | would slg-
geat that some plan be devised by which to
check the further sub-division of onr districts,
or some means adopted by which to more
ehectually meet this growing difficulty, for,in
few years more, il this subdivision il con-
tinued, our present School Fund will be rem
dered inadequate for the purpose intended.
| take pleasure in calling attention to the
decrease in the number of feeble-mindcd,
blind, and deaf and dumb pupils this depart
ment III called upon to provide for in the dit
ferent asyums. Two years ago my predo-
cessor reported thirteen of these unfortu-
mates, at an annual expense to the state Of
s2,91l.25. while at present have but nine to
report, at an annual expense of S1,8l9.l0.

For more detailed statement of the
transactions of this department, reference
