and shrubs have been planted, necessary
grounds have been graded and improved, SO
far as funds available would permit. Still
more, however, must be accomplished to
complete this work, and a considerable ap-
preparation will be necessary to meet the
requirements of the institution in its vari-
GUS departments and to provide furnishings
and equipment needed to maintain the hos
pital at a proper standard.
A sufficient sum should also be provided
to meet the deficiency in running ex-
penses.
STATE PRISON.
There are one hundred and eighty-three
whom are under life sentence. Forty-seven
have been admitted during the past, year;
fifty have been discharged. and four
have died. On account of the advance In
price of nearly all food products. there has
been a considerable increase in the cost of
maintaining the subsistence department,
but the whole the prison has made
fair showing and will not require so large
an appropriation as two years ago.
Only four of these convicts are women,
but i am convinced that this institution
should have a matron, whose duty it shall
be to take immediate charge OF female
prisoners. The state is not doing its whole
duty in this respect, and l trust you will
take some action to place this department
OF the prison OH right and proper basis.
MAINE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
During the past two years the attendance
at the Maine school for the deaf has large
ly increased, and the school has made
most commcndahle progress and advance
ment in every way.
Ninety-two lupils are now in attendance
nearly every county i'll the state being rep
resented. Nine teachers give instruction,
and the course fncludrs nil the regular
English branches. Industrial training is
also given. the girls being taught sewing,
hold. While the bovs are instructed in wood
working. glazing painting, printing and
I,his instit,tion is ucII nanoqcd and its
needs should receive your careful consider
alton.
