essential. 1t must be large farm in
the first instance for it will be almost
prohibitive to purchase additions later
on because of the faculty landowners
have of finding their land very valu-
able when the state is practically
forced to purchase it. The school
should be located in a place conven-
ientlv to be reached by railroad from
all points of the state and should be
so located that a spur track can be
run to it from the railroad in order to
lessen the expense of hauling supplies.
There should be a lot of rough land
which can be worked by the inmates
and there should also be under cul-
tivation a plot large enough to meet
the needs of the school. The buildings
should be erected some distance from
