Minnesota papers claim for that
state the distinction of an exception
ally efficient administration of the
institutions for the states dependents.
A constantly decreasing cost per
capita for the last decade is offered as
one proof of the measure of efficiency.
The figures for the last fiscal year
show reductions in the case of most
OF the institutions. OF special inter
est i'll these figures is the cost of food.
In the asylums for the insane it was
1913 cents II day per inmate, a slight
increase over the 8. 8 cents cost IN
1897, and considerable decrease
from the IL cents in 1895. In the
institutions for dependent children
the food expense was as low as IL
cents. 1t was 8. z cents in the school
for feeble minded, and varied from
1879 to l5. 3 in the school for the blind,
"who cannot eat the Same food as
seeing people," the report explains.
The next highest cost is ~ cents in
the prisons, where the inmates need
to supply the exhaustion and wear
due to hard labor. Prisoners are not
daintily fed. of course. but there is
no complaint as to the fare, and the
fact is established that working
adult may be wholesomely nourished
under institution methods at cost OF
y cents q dav
