board of control will begin at once the
remodelng Of the buildings on the
Leander Clark College grounds at
Toledo to provide for the establish
ment Of a state institution to care for
dependent and delinquent children. 1t
is probable the new institution will be
opened next spring.
The board has formally accepted the
property which has been presented to
the state by the trustees Of the old in
stitution as gift TO the state. There
are some twenty-one acres in the col
lege grounds and the board has pur-
chased lightweight acres adjoining
so that the property can be operated
as n farm. There are four good
buildings on the old campus, one of
them being the house which the presi-
dent of the college occupied.

Some time ago Jeander Clark Col
lege was merged with Coe College and

cational institution at Toledo. The
state has long needed an additional
home for dependent and delinquent
children, the only place where orphan
children can now be cared for being at
the home at Davenport A bill was in
troduced to establish another such
home and It was stated at the time
