CT cost than wouI1 provide for nee proper construction entirely.
 With the ssaail number of inuatCs at th,s school it i5 impracticable to apply to any great extent those meta lods for heir treatment and discipline that are now prevalent sa modern in- stit1tiOns of Ike ffaas and if the number were larger there would not be room for their accommodations Tt is already over-crO~aied, which in l. self is bad from every point of view. While 1t is to be regretted that there are so many fathers and mothers in the Territory who are so lost to noL only their sense or fditys> but t0 seery sense of shame, that their children must be taken from them and com mitted to such sn institution for the children'S sake, and in the hope that they may become betbsr citizens than their parents, it is BSt- ta ee- expected that the number will. with cur inereas- ing population, grow less.
 Provision for their proper care. dis cipline and education is already in adequate and the immediate future re quiTes further provision.
 It is particularly desirable that some provision be made for fitting the inmates for some aoassable employ ment in the future as well as to give them an elementary education. There should be adopted and praetieed rules of reward and promotion for good conduct and penalties and reduction for bad conduct. To do. this there should be 9 classification Of the in mates and consequently facilities for their different housing :. and other treatment. all of Wbica is practically impossible at the school as il now is.
 manual training department would be excellent, but again we are met with difficulties. One solution. it seems to me, is to abandon the present site and buildings. It is quito possible that the building there cOult be put to public or even private use and would not be . complete loss to the Territory. i site should then be found with at least 160 acres of land and be dad with Q reliable supply Of water and of proper degree of fsrtil fly and reasonably close to a market for the disposal Of the products. Al least three buildings should at once be erected, which need not be of great cost two for the boys and one for the girls-so separated each from the oth CT that there coald be complete isola ton from each other. In addition tC these buildings should be, of course the necessary barn. shop and otheI buildings. The boys could then be taught various occupations, as farm ing. Understanding and earpentering and the girls could learn the work O the laundry. of the dairy and poul try yard, as well as the necessary seamstress work of the institution
 It has developed now that the de sign and construction of the main building was so fastty that it is falin. apart and constitutes a serious nIenact to the lives of the inmates.
 It will soon become out of the ques ton to permit it to De used fer tha purpose.
 The report of the Board of Control showing the cost of the maintenance of the institutions is on your table and I direct attention to it
 Under direeion of an Act by the las; session, the Board contracted for the boring Of well for artesian water on the grounds of the school The Iwell has reached Q depth of I400 feet without having encountered 0 flow of water The sinking of tae well is still under contract.
