Jacob Schnaidt, a member of the

tions, in speaking of the proposed
scheme of dividing the reform school
and establishing an institution for
the girls at Waaertown, opposes the
scheme. He would prefer moving
the boys to some place in the east,
ern part or the state where they
could be taught diversified farming.
The suggestion appears to be a very
reasonable one. Mr.. Schnaidt also
advises the removal of the buildings
of the blind asylum, now located al
Gary, to the grounds of the reform
school at Plankinton. We cannot
approve Of this last suggestion. Our
