HOME FOR FEEBLE MINDED.
Just Opened at Brandon Has % In
mates-Many improvements Made.

Gov. Charles w. Gates met with the
members of the board of the State
Home for Feeble Minded in Brandon
this week, to look over the improve
ments which have but recently been
made on the buildings.
The home, of which DR.. Frederick j.
Russell is superintendent, and which
was made possible by the apprOpria-
ton of the legislature of 1914 now has
room toSare for q children and there
are at present % at the home. This
is less than one-half the number of
applications.
Forest Park Farms at Brandon were
purchased and the buildings have been
put into proper repair at a total cost
including purchase price and improve
ments, Of tribe less than 100000
This leaves little over $4,000 of the
appropriation made by the Legislature
which was $65, 1000, and the work will
be begun as soon as possible in the
spring on new buildings on the farm
The latest improvement at the farm
is the connecting up with six-incf
main to the village water supply
which will take care of any future de
mands made by the home with an eX
ceptionally good supply of water. The
plumbing has also been made modern
and all of the buildings on the farm
are fitted for permanent use so thai
the home, which was bought at a low
figure, makes very good purchase fol
the state. Plans for the new buildings
are already under way and an archi
tect will be put at work ON them 81
that building will probably be begun
in early spring. Those children who ar
at the home are under proper super
vision, taught to work much ON thu
same plan as that by which the indus
trial school at Vergennes is carried on
