In all modern institutions OF this
character the department OF physical
culture forms an important factor In
the educational work, and buildings for
this especial purpose have been pro-
vided 10 this institution. These build
ings will be equipped with modern
gymnasium apparatus as II Is not only
q question OF children receiving the
proper amount Of exercise, but II Is
essential that this exercise should be
directed In the right channels for the
purpose OF bringing about a proper
equalization OF the physical forces.
The heating and ventilating OF each
OF the buildings upon the ground Is to
be by what is,xnown as the blast sys-
TEN, a fan being located In the base
ment OF each Of the buildings OF SUIT

abundant supply Of tempered fresh air.
With this system the impure condi-
tions OF the atmosphere, so often met
with 10 institutions not properly heat
ed and ventilated, are done away with
and there Is no danger that the condi-
tion OF the buildings will become either
unpleasant or unhealthful.
Two systems Of water works have
been provided for: hard water from
deep wells for fire protection, drinking
and culinary purposes, IL having de-
veloped that an abundant supply OF
pure water Is to be found at depth of
200 feet. In addition to this filters and
cisterns have been provided as shown
on the plat for takingicare of the rain
water from the entire Institution. This
soft water will be used for bathing and
laundry purposes and for the boiler
supply.
Provision has been made for taking
care OF the sewage from the institution
/ bv what is known as the intermittent
liberation and broad irrigation system,
which has by actual experience BEEN
demonstrated as thoroughly successful,
not only in institution work, but In
some OF the principal cities Of the
world. Broad irrigation of the land Is
especially suitable as means of dis
posing OF the sewage OF this Insulation,
as there are no streams OF suitable size
for taking care of the eiiluent, and
farming being not only an aid to the
institution itself, but supplying a
healthful and instructive outdoor labor
for the inmates. There is nothing I'M
healthful in the work OF caring for irri-
igated areas or In the use OF vegetables
thus fortified, decomposition taking
place In the presence OF sufficient oxy
gen to prevent all offensive odors. AS
an extra precaution the effiuent from
the institution will be passed through
coke filters, by which 1t Is possible TO
remove from SO TO IS per cent. OF the
organic matter.
AS it is impossible with the present
available appropriation TO complete the
institution, and IL Is highly necessary
that 1t should be In operation at the
earliest possible date, plans have been
prepared and contracts let by the
Baard for the Manual Training Build
ing, Boiler House and three Cottages
and these buildings are now under con-
struction. The firm OF Clark 4 Howard,
of Lexington having the contract for
the same. the work Is being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. The
Institution will from the time OF the
completion OF these buildings be in
complete working order 10 the most
essential features, and the labor OF the
boys taken care OF can be made source
OF profit In the construction OF future
buildings as well as benefit Ia man
ual training line to the boys 50 engaged.
| IL is expected that the buildings now
under construction will be completed
ready for occupancy In the early
winter.
