cipal officers received the notice that
should suffice, and he stated that the
amendment which he proposed to Offer
would not let down the bars in regard to
the giving Of the notice, but would only
permit another person to act for the in

zens, We know that the name of reform
school docs somewhat tarnish the charac-
ter and name of one who has been com
mitted to such an institution, but we find
that many of these have gone into the
world and become good men; and | trust
that this appropriation will no5 be cut

Mr. Reynolds of Brooks: I shall agree
with the gentleman from China, and
wish to say that if we make an appropria-
ton this winter that is right, it will be

thought while l was there, if l had a
boy to send to school. / would send him
to the reform school before l would send
him to the college at Orono. l went
there with the intention of looking over
the whole system. l did look it over care
fully. did not find one mistake in that
institution, not one anywhere. Those
boys were to the mark every time, and
when l went to the barn / found every
thing there to the mark I thought when
we looked it over that If our other State
institutions were up to the reform school at
Cape Elizabeth, we should be proud of our
institutions
Mr.. Plummer of Dexter inquired why
this matter was delayed until the last days
of the session
Mr.. Reynolds of Brooks said he could
not say in regard to that; the matter had
been in the hands of the Senate.
Mr.. Daigle of Madawaska: While / am

willing to believe eyers thing that has been
