8. This committee finds statements of
expenditures have not been submitted to
the Governor during the last two years FOR
his approval, but such statements have
been submitted to the hoard OF trustees
from time to time during the last two
years, the Governor being ex-ofhcio presi-
dent Of said Board of Trustees.
o. This committee nnds that the sal
aries Of some of the teachers and officials
of said institution have been Increased dur
ing the past two years. while Others have
been diminished, this being a matter which
In the Judgment of the committee Is wisely
within the sound discretion OF the Board
. salaries have not been increased so that
the sum total of salaries TO be paid ex
ceeds the appropriation made for the pay
ment Of salaries. On the contrary, all the
funds appropriated in 1900 for salaries was
Z not expended, the surplus of about $1,000
having been judiciously expended in the
3 erection. furnishings and repairs of build
lngs for the benefit Of the college. The in
E crease Of salaries, as stated. Is not In the
E Judgment of your committee a violation
Of law.

e tion and In the conduct Of said investiga-
' ton has employed an expert accountant,

, interest Of the institution. we have ex-

e The sanitary condition Of the college Is
$ of the best. The hospital department is un-
der the most competent supervision. We
find that the doctor in charge of the in
9 frmary has treated more than 1000 cases
: during the last twelve months that during

Under her care and supervision the health

We find that all the industrial depart.
r ments have been amplifed and increased
n added during the last two years. We wish
to emphasize the fact that this institution
affords 10 the poor girls Of our State I'M
4 equaled opportunities for obtaining an edu-
cation at q minimum cost. The board is
r furnished TO the students in the dormitory
| at Its actual cost, which averages as Il rule

the living expenses of the students for
. board, lodging. light, fuel, laundry, etc.
s The full session, including matriculation
and hospital fees, may be completed at a
S cost of about $50.
v In conclusion, this committee begs to say
S that after a full and thorough Investigation
t OF the affairs of the college. we find ab,
G ~solutely no cause for complaint. We ma
e all the moneys appropriated by the state
J. as well as all moneys received from mel

I Is a matter of sincere congratulation 10 me

! The greatest harmony prevails through

I This committee would call attention 70
the fact that while the institution is Inirly
