Hy far the- most important matter in

Concerning tho salo of the state bonds
tho governor says:
THE SALE or BONDS.
“The bonds sold in 1838 bcrc 11 per cent,
interest and were sold J. 104}. Their
nvorago life was iixt<cil and one-half
years. The average lifojof the bonds

■ng the states the head of t
column for illiteracy. Tbo system li
fallen far short of tho popular noc»
The times are now favorablo and tho
necessity pressing for further aid either
by gcnorsl i r local taxation and tlio gen
eral assembly should so provide.
'laxat on by the state is but n
priatiOQ for the security of society, pro
tection to property and tho advan emsnt
of the t oople. These ends tho general
assembly cannot better securo than bv
tlu education of the masserf. Our socinh
pojltical and material conditions all call
lor tho moro general education of the
people.
Looking, therefore, to tho final pros
perity i-t the state ill the c-luvatb n. cn-

health of tho convicts. The mortality,
it is true, has been greater than it sp-
peared m tho last biennial report, but

“The report of tho board of trustees of

with the reports of the principul and of

Tho trustees claim that the institution
has been neglected by the stats and is,
in its equipment, inferior to all others of
its putdic institutions. In his report to
th* trustees the principal, besides many
interesting ntatistics, presents an esti
mate of the needs of the institution,
