more men and a woman are reported

SOMETHING MUST BE
DONE WITH BLIND ASYLUM

Columbus, o., Nov 26.--In the
annual report of the state institu-
tion for the education OF the
blind. filed in the executive office
yesterday the question of removing
the institution to some more COM
modious tract remote from the
city Is again discussed.
For several years the proposition
has been under consideration, and
while it is pending, the trustees
say they do not feel like entering
upon any general plan of improve
ments on the present site. Several
years of this waiting policy, they
say, has brought the institution to
the point where something. must be
done. Either the removal proposil
tion must be taken up and acted
upon or abandoned for the pres
ent.
The total expenditures last year
were $l07, ,40l.62, OF which $92'-
G694I was for current expenses.
The average attendance for the
year was 267. and the per capita
cost of maintaining them in the
school was reduced from $33537
in 1906 to $330.44.
