This bill only puts the mater N the haads
Of the Governor and Causcil, and The only
hope that We have got 10 thst the Governor
and Carncii are broader minded than the
tosrd Of trustees and the superintendent.
Bot isn't il safe thing to get the matter
into the hsnds Of the Governor and Council
ard xllov them to make such terms ~ they
deem expedient? l move. Mr.. Speaker,
that the minority fepsrs be substituted for
the majority.
Mr.. Glidien Of Neucastle-It appears to
me that ~ act passed here BY this Lssis-
lature would be in conifaveation Of the
present lay relative to the government OF
that Institution l fni the statute relating
to that matter is This: THE government
OF the State Reform School. es'ahsi.hed for
the instruction. employment and re-
town Of Cape Elisabeth in the
ou0Gty VI AumRrLkH1u, Vs1ttG
in q board Of ave trustees ap-
painted by the Governor, with the
advice and cousen. Of the council,
and commissioned to hold their ofices
durios the pleasure of the Governor and
Council, but not ionger than four years
uRder enc appointment The authority Of
those trustees is delegated TO them not by
the Governor and Counci. but by the Lssis-
lsture. They. have, - to speak, absolute
power in toe government of thu, institution
sni the Governor and Council may not in
terfefe with their government They may
remove, but tina. i, all. The trustees
shall have charge OF the general interests
OF the ias.ita;ion and see that its fairs
are conducted ss repaired by the
Legislature, and snch bylaws - the
board may adopt" These bylaws mu.t
be submitted To the Governor and Council
fer their approval, AID when they are thus
submitted they are governed by those laws in
the admir- isiYation Of tha. institution.
These portions of the law show couclus-
lively that the trustees have absolu'e con-
troll Of the Institution. 1.-THE trustees
shall establish rules for the direction of
the officers, agents and servants Of the
school, and for the government, in
struc,ion aud discipline Of the inmates" 1t
seems to me that this should preclude the
idea Of ever applying to the Governor and
Council for rules to govern any p,rt Of the
management and instruction Of that school.
So much for the statutory points. The
complsiot is made that certain clergyman
NAV not be admitted there. Now it is q
well known fact that religious dissensinn
creates feelings of the bit,erest kind. The
rules of this institution are so shaped ihst
these doemas Of the different churches

cieste 6issension among those bows, the
~atds of the State. | think that the re-
ligious denominations ia this State
can fnd grourd broad enough
on which we may all stand ard
teach those principles which nnderiis
sill that is good in Chri,tianity, ard that. it
seems to me, is what is designed in this it,
stitation,
