The School For Imbeciles,

The annual report of the school for imbe. ciles at Lakeville shows the total receipts for the year to have been 6,O85.54. The buildings have been completed at cost of $2, 800, this sum having been provided by charitable bequests. A large sum is reali zed from tuition. There are 89 pupils in the school, less than one year ago. There were 52 State benefciaries and 56 private beneticiaries for the year. A member of the committee on humane institutions says that the public fails to realize the important work which this great charitable institution is do- ing. 'tIt takes a mere mass of Aesh," he continued, ''and puts living soul within it. D Many of the inmates learn trades and upon their release become self-supporting and use full members of society. Several members of the committee are of the opinion that the institution should be wholly directed by the State.
