PUPLIC EDUCATION.

The message dwells at length on
this important subject, showing first,
that the last General Assembly did
more for public education in the state
than had been done for decade pre-
vious-the sum of $500, 600 being ap-
propriated, in addition to the state
fund-that within the last two years
new school houses had been built,
costing 81, 1856, 70l, and 149 new high
schools have been organized. The
message suggests the gradual intro
duction of manual training, agricul-
tural and domestic economy training
into the schools-the increased ap-
preparation for the primary and high
schools, conditioned upon certain
amount of increased local aid.
There were other recommendations
looking to further aid of the schools.
On the Confederate pension ques-
tion, the Governor recommends that
pensions paid the most disabled and
dependent be increased
frequent examinations of jails and
reformatories are urged, the state
farm used also for experiment pur-
poses, the preservation of mineral
and timber exhibits made at James
town, ETC., and other suggestions
were made.
