state institutions. Owing to the fact
that under the regime of Governor De
neen there is a cash balance of more
than $3,000,000 in the state treasury for
the care of the insane, it is almost GER
tain that all the reforms suggested for

tunate will be carried out before the
expiration of the governors present
term.
Upon the suggestion of the state eX-
ecutive the legislature provided for a
central institution for the care of the

physician at the head of this will be
man who has made d successful study
of mental and nervous diseases. 1t is

the state board of charities that the
medical administration and service
throughout the state should be equal tc
the best public and private hospitals.
