STATE INSTITUTIONS
1t would be presumptuous for me to

made a study of our State institutions
and have arrived at some conclusions
regarding their needS, Stlil nesltate

The accomplishments Of the past jus

lands and competent supervision, the
institutions themselves may be made
self-sustaining and the inmates re-
stored in large part, at least to
