Discipline Indispensable.

All right minded persons agree that in
y school of this character discipline is in
dispensabc Obedience to wise rules
must be enforced Vicious and uncon-
trollable tempers. which will brook no
correction or interference, cannot be al
lowed to set up the standard of conduct.
Mistaken kindness and pampering mdu-
gence cannot fail to work grievous wrong
to the inmate. Love and obedience rath-
er than hate and willful disobedience
must be the prevailing rule.
The records of the school afford the
strongest proof that wise care and
faithful attention have marked the con
duct of the officers and board of trustees
and managers. 1t is to be regretted that
the members of the old board felt obliged
to resign rather than submit to the un-
fair imputations and unjust criticism
which characterized the attack made on
their official conduct. They are men of
eminent responsibility and high standing
in the community and had served the
state for many years with faithfulness
and zeal. Their sole aim was the adj
vancement of the interests of the insti-
tuition, which had become to them an
object of love and pride. If attacks of
the character under consideration from
persons or associations irresponsible for
what they say or do are to go unre-
buked, it win soon be impossible to SCI
cure the services Of citizens competent to
act as trustees or managers Of our insti-
tutions.
AT no time has the claim been made
that the school has reached the full
measure Of perfection, but under the
management Of the trustees. aided by

MESSAGE OF
VOORHEES,
Careful Consideration of I'm
pOrtant Measures.
State Finances in Excellent Con-
dition- 100000 Increase Over
INSTRUMENTATION and Sue-
6eStiOnS.

Gentlemen of the Senate and General
Assembly:
As required by the constitution, l de-
sire herewith to submit to you this my
first annual message. In it reference
will be made to the condition of the state
and your attention invited to such meas
ures as seem to me worthy of your con
sideration and action.
The annual report of the various Off
Gals of the state furnish detailed mfor-
nation concerning their respective de-
partments and the character and results
of the work done therein. They are full
Of instruction and interest and are wor-
thy of your careful study i'll order that
the duties awaiting you may be dis
charged with intelligence and satisfac
ton to yourselves and the people whom
you represent. 1t is believed that these
reports will disclose in the conduct of
our state affairs large measure of hon
esty, competency and conscientious zeal
This desirable result is chiefly due to the
nonpartisan control of our institutions
and their conduct upon a nonpartisan
basis.
For the needs of the various depart
ments, to which a particular reference
may not herein be made, sufficient infol-
nation will be found fop your enlighten-
ment and guidance in the statements
which have been submitted.
AS affording evidence of the general
prosperous conditions which characterize
ed the last fiscal year and the careful and
prudent conduct of this important branch
of our government, | desire to lay be-
fore you the financial transactions of the
state for the year ending Oct. 81, 1899.
Finances.
1t is with justitiable pride that your at
tention is called to these transactions. A
clear and comprehensive statement there
of is to be found in the reports of the
treasurer and the comptroller. Some idea
of the varied and important duties of
these officers may be formed when it is
recalled that during the last fiscal year
they had charge of the collection and dis
bursement of about $6,000.000
INCOME OF STATE FUND.
