GENERAL    REMARKS, 


THE  NEW  STATE  OFFICES. 

Since  the  adjournment  of  the  last  Legislature,  the  building  author- 
ized by  tliat  body  for  the  use  of  the  Supreme  Court  and  the  State 
offices  has  been  erected  on  the  grounds  of  the  State,  at  the  corner  of 
Washington  and  Tennessee  streets. 

The  new  offices  are  situated  nearly  opposite  the  State  House  ;  those 
of  the  Treasurer,  Adjutant  General,  and  Clerk  of  Supreme  Court 
fronting  on  Washington  street,  and  those  of  the  Secretary  and  Auditor 
ou  Tennessee  strt'Ct,  with  the  Court  room,  Law  Library,  consultation 
rooms,  and  offices  for  the  Judges  on  the  second  floor.  The  State 
Treasury  has  been  fitted  up  with  especial  reference  to  the  protection 
of  its  books,  papers  and  funds;  and  while  the  arrangements  for  the 
transaction  of  business  are  complete,  two  large  vaults  have  been  con- 
structed, rendering  the  invaluable  archives  of  the  office  absolutely 
free  from  the  destructive  ravages  of  fire.  In  other  respects  the  State 
Treasury  is  as  safely  guarded  as  any  similar  institution  in  the  country. 

Lender  the  provisions  of  the  act  approved  March  9,  1867,  the  build_ 
ing  expense  was  to  be  defrayed  by  a  loan  out  of  the  Sinking  Fund 
for  which  the  Auditor  was  directed  to  issue  a  non-negotiable  bond 
payable  to  the  School  Fund  ;  the  present  condition  of  the  Treasury, 
therefore,  was  not  affected.  As  full  particulars  and  details  of  con- 
struction will  be  submitted  to  the  Legislature  by  the  proper  officers, 
I  will  only  add  that  one  of  the  marked  advantages  arising  from  the 
occupancy  of  the  new  building  is  the  perpetual  relief  of  the  State 
from  the  expense  of  $3,000  per  year,  which  has  heretofore  been  paid 
for  rent  of  Secretary's,  Auditor's  and  Treasurer's  offices. 


6 
THE  COMMON  SCHOOL  FUND  DEBT. 

The  act  establishing  a  State  Bank,  approved  January  28,  18o4, 
provided  for  the  creation  of  a  Sinking  Fund ;  and  the  act  approved 
March  1,  1859,  required  the  Board  of  Sinking  Fund  Gonimissioners, 
having  charge  of  its  management,  to  distribute  the  said  Fund  among 
the  different  counties  in  the  State  in  proportion  to  the  number  of 
children  therein  respectively  listed  for  the  purpose  of  common  school 
education.  We  are  still  deriving  the  benefits  of  these  provisiona, 
the  several  counties  loaning  the  money  so  obtained  on  mortgages  of 
real  estate  ;  but  subsequent  legislation  has  materially  changed  the 
custodianship  of  the  Fund.  The  State  Bank  is  now  extinct,  and  the 
Board  of  Sinking  Fund  Commissioners  has  been  abolished.  That  part 
of  the  Fund  not  distributed  to  counties  remains  in  charge  of  the 
State,  for  v,hich  non-negotiable  bonds  have  been,  and  are  being  issued, 
on  which  the  State  pays  sis  per  cent,  interest,  the  amount  accruing 
from  such  interest  being  distributed  to  the  counties  semi-annually, 
through  the  May  and  October  settlements  with  County  Treasurers.  Thig 
interest  is  gradually  increasing  from  several  causes,  and  it  becomes  a 
pertinent  question  for  present  legislation  to  dctermme  whether  the 
State  is  to  be  permanently  saddled  with  an  increasing  debt  bearing  six 
per  cent,  interest,  or  whether  the  wiser  course  would  not  be  to  at  once 
take  steps  looking  to  the  gradual  but  certain  redemption  of  tiie 
principal,  and  consequent  speedy  reduction  of  the  interest  now  drawn 
from  the  resources,  of  the  State. 

The  cause  of  Common  School  education  is  one  in  which  every  citi- 
zen of  the  State  is  more  or  less  deeply  interested.  The  State  should 
continue|to  exercise  its  beneficent  festering  care  over  the  School  Fund  - 
and  it  can  at  once  lighten  its  own  burthens  and  increase  the  revenue 
of  the  Fund.  Let  there  be  made  an  early  provision  to  pay  off  the 
principal  of  tliia  debt  as  rapidly  as  the  condition  of  the  Treasury 
will  permit.  For  as  much  of  the  principal  as  may  thus  bo  re- 
duced let  one  of  the  non-negotiable  bonds  be  cancelled  and  a  new 
one  be  issued  for  the  remainder  still  unpaid.  Let  the  amount  applied 
to  such  reduction  of  the  principal  be  managed  as  are  similar  trust 
funds  now — let  it  be  loaned  out  by  the  Auditor  and  Treasurer  of  State 
in  precisely  the  same  manner,  with  the  same  safeguards  and  at  the 
same  rate  of  interest,  seven  per  cent.,  as  they  now  loan  the  College 
Fund.  The  interest  can  then  be  applied,  as  is  the  interest  of  the  trust 
funds  now,  through  the  serai-annual  school  distribution  to  counties. 


The  advantages  of  such  a  course  would  be  that  instead  of  the  State 
paying  six  per  cent.,  individuals  will  gladly  pay  seven  per  cent,  with 
proper  security ;  or,  if  this  plan  should  notjprove  acceptable,  the 
money  can  be  invested  in  Government  securities  to  be  deposited  in 
the  State  Treasury,  and  the  Government  will  then  pay  the  interest. 
In  either  way,  while  the  School  Fund  will  be  gainer  by  an  in- 
creased rate  per  cent.,  the  State  will  relieve  itself  of  the  heavy  drain 
upon  its  resources  by  the  payment  of  interest  on  a  debt  which  should 
be  discharged  at  the  earliest  practicable  period. 

EARLY  EXTINCTION  OF  THE  STATE  DEBT. 

By  previous  legislation  the  five  per  cent,  bonds  are  the  first  of  the 
State's  obligations  to  be  taken  up.  In  July  last  the  State  Debt  Board 
ordered  the  Agent  of  State  at  New  York  to  redeem  twenty  per  cent, 
of  those  outstanding,  requiring  an  amount  of  money  equal  to  the 
whole  of  the  State  Debt  Sinking  Fund  then  on  hand,  as  estimated  at 
a  previous  meeting  of  the  Board.  The  sum  of  upwards  of  $900,000  00 
was  accordingly  placed  in  the  hands  of  said  Agent  for  that  purpose. 

Until  the  remainder  of  the  five  per  cent,  bonds  are  taken  up,  and 
the  whole  of  the  School  Debt  is  extinguished,  I  would  earnestly 
recommend  that  the  present  rate  of  State  taxation  for  Sinking  Fund 
purposes  should  be  continued.  We  are  rapidly  reducing  our  interest- 
bearing  obligations  and  saving  largely  from  our  general  expenditures 
in  reduction  of  interest  alone.  In  a  few  years,  when  the  State  is 
entirely  free  from  debt,  and  has  no  interest  to  absorb  its  revenues, 
then  it  will  be  time  enough  to  reduce  the  rate  of  taxation.  A  reduc- 
tion of  the  State  debt  taxation  noY>',  which  is  already  light  compared 
with  county  rates,  would  prolong  the  time  when  our  bonds  can  be 
taken  up,  and  leave  us  still  paying  out  large  sums  for  annual  interest. 

FREE  BANKS. 

The  notes  of  the  Free  Banks  of  the  State  have  entirely  disappeared 
from  general  circulation,  and  most  of  the  securities  for  the  same  have 
been  withdrawn  from  the  custody  of  the  State  Treasurer.  The  Banks 
that  have  been  permitted  to  take  all  of  their  deposits  have  filed  the 
requisite  bond ;  which,  together  with  the  amount  retained  in  this 
office  from  the  remainder  will  guarantee  the  payment  of  all  outstand- 
ing issues. 


DELINQUENT  TAXES. 

The  fees  allowed  County  Treasurers  for  collecting  delinquent  taxes 
are  not  enough  to  warrant  them  in  the  extra  exertion  necessary,  in 
consequence  of  removals,  transfers  of  property,  &c.,  to  cause  all  taxes 
due  to  be  properly  paid.  If  such  fees  were  doubled  the  net  collections 
of  this  kind  would  be  vastly  increased,  as  the  greater  portion  of  the 
dues  would  be  paid  the  moment  the  attention  of  the  parties  owing  was 
properly  directed  to  the  fact  of  their  indebtedness,  and  justice  would 
be  done  not  only  to  those  who  may  have  paid  promptly,  but  to  the 
county  and  State  requiring  payment  from  every  citizen  in  like  ratio. 
It  was  estimated  by  my  predecessor  in  office  that  the  eflfect  of  such 
an  increase  of  fees  would  be  "to  throw  at  least  fifty  thousand  dollars 
per  annum  into  the  State  Treasury  which,  under  the  present  system, 
would  remain  delinquent  forever."  In  my  opinion  this  is  not  an  over 
estimate,  and  I  earnestly  recommend  the  subject  to  the  attention  of 
the  Legislature. 


CONDITION  OF  STATE  DEBT,  1868. 


The  following  statement  exhibits  the  condition  of  the  fundel  inter- 
est-bearing debt  of  the  State  on  the  31st  day  of  October,  1868 : 

Stock  bearing  5  per  cent,  interest  $3,322,924  66 

War  Loan  bonds,  bearing  6  per  cent  interest..., 210,000  CO 

Vincennes   University  bonds,  bearing  6  per  cent,  in- 
terest   ,..  .., ,.        63,585  00 


$3,596,509  66 

The  State  is  also  paying  6  per  cent,  interest  to  the  Common  School 
Fund  on  §3,591,316  15.  The  interest  is  distributed  to  the  several 
counties  semi-annually,  through  the  settlements  with  County  Treas- 
urers, for  the  support  of  free  schools.  The  increase  of  School  Bonds 
during  the  year  has  been  $224,231  00,  occasioned  by  the  carrying 
out  of  the  provisions  of  the  several  acts  passed  to  consolidate  all  the 
various  bonds,  stocks  and  accounts  of  the  School  Fund  into  non- 
negotiable  bonds  of  one  description. 

In  July,  1867,  as  stated  in  my  last  report,  the  State  Treasurer 
placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Agent  at  New  York  $1,184,000  00  for 
the  redemption  of  all  outstanding  2J  per  cent,  stocks. 

In  April,  1868,  $200,000  00  was  transmitted  to  New  York  on  the 
requisition  of  the  Agent  of  State  for  the  redemption  of  War  Loan 
bonds.  Notice  was  given  to  the  holders  through  advertisements  that 
the  State  was  ready  to  redeem  them  if  presented  within  thirty  days, 
otherwise  the  money  would  be  applied  to  other  purposes,  and  as  but 
a  small  proportion  of  them  was  so  presented,  the  State  Debt  Board 
thereupon  determined  to  devote  that  money,  nearly  $200,000  00,  to 
the  redemption  of  5  per  cent  bonds,  and  instructed  the  State  Agent 


10 

to  50  apply  the  funds.  In  addition  to  nearly  §200,000  00,  as  above 
shown,  over  §700,000  00  was  sent  in  June  on  his  requisition  for  the 
same  purpose.  Over  §18,000  00  was  sent  to  said  Agent,  for  which 
his  requisition  was  obtained  in  July,  1868,  for  redemptions  of  2-Jper 
cent,  stocks,  after  the  funds  in  his  hands  for  that  purpose  had  been 
applied  to  taking  up  that  amount  of  War  Bonds. 

In  July  last  the  State  Debt  Board  directed  the  Agent  of  State  to 
redeem  twenty  per  cent,  of  all  the  outstanding  5  per  cent,  stocks,  re- 
quiring an  amount  of  money  equal  to  the  whole  of  the  State  Debt 
Sinking  Fund  then  on  hand,  as  estimated  at  a  previous  meeting  of  the 
Board,  viz.,  about  §900,000  00,

Lender  an  act  approved  March  7,  1867,  the  amounts  shown  under 
the  head  of  Disbursements  of  Principal  of  Saline  and  Bank  Tax 
Fund  were  consolidated  with  other  items  of  indebtedness  in  a  non- 
negotiable  bond,  executed  by  the  Governor,  Auditor  and  Treasurer  of 
State  in  favor  of  the  Common  School  Fund.  In  order  to  show  the 
correct  state  of  the  accounts,  warrants  were  therefore  drawn  charge-

able  to  the  fuods  above  named,  and  the  amount  thereof  placed  to  the 
credit  of  the  General  Fund.  It  was  doubtless  the  intention  of  the 
Let^islature  to  include  the  whole  amount  of  these  two  funds  in  the 
non  negotiable  bond,  but  the  terms  of  the  act  only  cover  the  balance 
on  hand  of  each  on  the  first  of  November,  1866,  and  take  no  account 
of  the  amounts  outstanding  on  Iran  at  that  date.  An  error  in  the 
amount  of  Saline  Fund  outstanding  has  been  transmitted  through 
the  published  reports  of  this  office  since  1861.  It  arose  from  charg- 
ing other  disbursements  under  the  head  of  Principal  Loaned,  The

Showing  an  excess  in  the  Treasury  of $262,883  73 

The  above  statement  will  be  gratifying  to  those  who  have  observed 
with  interest  the  relative  position  of  the  general  fund  of  the  Treasury 
with  the  various  trust  funds.  Within  ten  years  it  has  occurred  but  once 
that  the  balance  in  the  Treasury  at  the  close  of  any  fiscal  year  has 
been  sufficient  to  cover  the  balances  due  the  several  funds  above  re- 
cited, and  the  common  school  fund;  and  the  exception  was  in  1864, 
when  the  funds  were  locked  up  by  the  failure  to  pay  the  interest  on 
the  public  debt,  and  support  the  public  institutions  of  the  State  for 
the  care  of  the  insane,  the  deaf  and  dumb,  and  the  blind. 

It  is  also  with  somewhat  of  pride,  on  the  part  of  the  administrative 
officers  of  the  State,  that  I  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  common 
school  fund  is  not  found  among  the  list  of  creditors  of  the  general 
Treasury,  where  it  has  figured  so  long  and  .so  prominently. 

The  following   statement  shows  the    amounts    over  and  above  the 
balance  on  hand,  due  from  th^e  general  fund  to  the  other  funds  at  the 
close  of  each  fiscal  year  from  October  31,  1858,  to  October  3i,  1867, 
with  the  exception  of  the  year  1864  :

On  the  31st  of  October,  1864,  there  was  a  surplus  of  8454.515  91, 
but  the  payments  of  the  amounts  borrowed  by  Governor  Morton  to 
pay  the  interest  on  the  public  debt,  and  to  support  the  benevolent  in- 
stitutions and  the  prisons,  soon  reduced  the  sum  to  a  iLuch  lower 
figure  than  the  balances  due  from  the  Treasury. 

It  afibrds  me  pleasure  to  bear  testimony  to  the  fidelity  with  which 
the  County  Treasurers  have  discharged  the  duties  and  honored  the 
trust  which  have  been  devolved  upon  and  reposed  in  them  by  the  people. 
iSot  a  single  defalcation  has  occuired.  The  intimate  relations  of  both 
Countv  Auditors  and  Treasurers  with  this  ofiice  have  been  of  the  most 
plea.-aiit  character.  A\  hile  no  demand  upon  them  has  been  made  by  this 
office  which  did  not  meet  with  a  prompt  and  cheerful  response,  to 
their  frequent  letters  for  information  or  instruction  I  have  en- 
deavored, uniformly,  to  give  early  and  courteous  replies  ;  and  v;hen 
my  official  term  expires  1  shall  sever  the  connection  which  for  four 
years  will  have  existed  between  us,  with  the  consciousness  that  tLough 
there  may  have  been  difierences  of  opinion,  we  have  mutually  and 
sincerely  striven  for  the  public  interests,  and  hoping  that,  1  aving 
willingly  given  offense  to  no  one,  our  kindly  feeling  may  be  tis  mutual 
a^  have  been  our  labors. 

SUERIFFS'    xMILEAGE. 

I  take  the  liberty  of  quoting  from  my  report  to  the  Legislature  of 
18o7  as  follo\ss  : 

''I  desire  to  call  attention  to  the  necessity  of  araendino:;  the  act 
fixing  the  distances  to  be  allowed  in  computing  the  mileage  of  Sheriffs 
in  conv<3yiiig  convicts  to  the  Southern  Prison,  and  the  passage  of  an 
act  e>>tabli!r.hing  the  distances  from  the  various  county  seats  to  the 
Northern  Prison.  The  former  act  was  passed  before  the  present 
railroad  system  was  in  operation,  and  the  distances  were  computed, 
in  numerous  cases,  by  routes  whicn  are  now  abandoned,  and,  in  eon- 
fiequence,  great  injustice  is  done  to  the  Sheriffs  of  some  counties. 
Asnie  from  this,  theie  are  glaring  errors  in  the  act,  as,  for  instance, 
the  Sheriff  of  Vanderburg  county  is  allowed  for  150  miles,  while  the 
shenft'  of  Posey  county,  who  necessarily  travels  through  or  by  Van- 
derbujg,  is  allowed  for  only  143  miles.     The  truth  is  that  in  neither 


19 

case  is  the  distmce  much  over  h;i]f  of  that  actually  traveled  by  the 
usual  route  in  rea(;hing  Jeffersonville." 

STATISTICS. 

Excepting  the  returns,  in  aggregate,  of  the  va'«iaiion  of  real  and 
personal  property  in  the  State,  Indiana  is  entirely  without  statistics. 
The  General  Assessment  law  of  1852  required  that  the  Assessor  should 
collect,  aside  from  the  lists  for  taxation,  a  statement  of  the  number 
and  value  of  horses,  cattle,  hogs  and  other  animals,  and  the  amount 
and  value  of  the  firming  products  and  of  manufactured  articles  raised, 
produced  or  fabricated  durin'j;  the  year  by  each  tax  payer,  and  that 
abstracts  of  the  same  should  be  forwarded  to  this  office  by  the  County 
Auditors  for  publication  in  the  auni^al  reports.  But  the  law  was  so 
badly  executed,  partly  on  account  of  indifference  or  incompetency  in 
the  officers  charged  with  its  operation,  and  partly  on  account  of  the 
indisposition  of  the  less  informed  portion  of  our  people  to  furnish  the 
information,  lest  it  should  increase  the  amount  of  their  taxes,  that  it 
became,  if  not  ;ilraost  a  dead  letter,  at  least  totally  valueless  for  the 
purposes  in  view  by  its  enactment,  and  finally,  in  1  861,  it  was  re- 
pealed. The  vast  and  rapidly  growing  manufacturing  interests  of 
Indiana,  her  immense  mineral  wealth  now  only  beginning  to  be  de- 
veloped, an^l  the  varied  products  of  her   soil  demand  some  recognition. 

DOCKET  FEES  AND  UNCLAIMED  FEES. 

The  laws  for  the  collection  of  docket  and  unclaimed  fees  are  very 
defective.  It  is  doub:ful  if  one  tenth  of  the  amounts  collected  by  the 
officers  charged  with  that  duty  is  ever  accounted  for  at  the  State 
Treasury.  From  some  counties  no  docket  fees  have  been  returned  for 
years — yet  it  is  hardly  possible  that  there  could  have  been  no  litiga- 
tion by  which  they  should  be  produced.  Where  Auditors  have 
not  reported  any  such  fees  upon  the  settlement  sheets  I  have  not 
failed  to  interrogate  the  Treasurer  as  to  the  cause  of  the  omission. 
The  uniform  reply  has  been  that  the  Clerk  has  made  no  paynen"-  into 
the  County  Treasury.  As  it  would  be  impossible  for  the  Auditor  of 
State  to  examine  the  county  records  for  each  dereliction,  I  sut^orest 
that  it  be  made  the  duty  of  the  County  Auditor  to  make  annual  or 
semi-annual  examinations  and  require  the  Clerk  to  account  for  what- 
ever amount  may  be  ascertained  to  be  due.  As  the  law  stands  this 
duty  devolves  upon  no  one,  and  the  Clerks  are  left  to  execute  the 
law  at  their  pleasure,  which,  I  may  add,  is  not  always  the  public 
interest. 

APPRAISEMENT    OF    REAL    ESTATE. 

I  desire  to  call  attention  to  the  remarks  upon  this  subject  contained 
in  my  Report  to  the  last  Legislature.     The  question  of  appraisement

THE    BUILDING   FOR    PUBLIC    OFFICES. 

The  Legislature  of  1867  wisely  decided  upon  the  erection  of  a 
building  for  the  accommodation  of  the  Supreme  Court  and  officers  of 
Sf.ate.  and  authorized  the  expenditure  of  fifty  thousand  dollars  for 
that  purpose.  The  building,  erected  at  a  cost  of  $52,129  62,  is  sub- 
stantial and  adoiirably  adapted  to  the  purposes  for  -which  it  was 
designed,  and  taking  into  consideration  the  amount  allowed  for  its 
construction,  reflects  credit  upon  the  Governor,  the  architect,  Mr. 
John  L.  Smithmeyer,  and  the  contractor,  Mr.  Allen.  The  sum  of 
§40,000  of  the  cost  was  authorized  to  be  borrowed  from  the  Sinking 
Fund  and  a  bond  for  the  amount  given  to  the  Common  School  Fund. 
The  propriety  of  making  a  perpetual  loan,  amountin:^;  in  fact  to  a 
perpetual  rental  of  §2,400  per  annuw,  when  the  payment  direct  from 
the  Treasury  would  not  cause  the  slightest  embarrassment,  is  more 
than  doubtful.  1  recommend  that  the  amount  be  refunded  to  the 
Sinking  Fund  and  that  the  bond  given  the  Common  School  Fund  be. 
cancelled. 

I  also  recommend  an  appropriation  for  stone  steps  and  flagging  in 
front  of  the  building,  and  the  completion  of  the  Supreme  Courtroom, 
and  the  sum  of  §12.129  62  borrowed  from  the  Sinking  Fund-  in  ex- 
cess of  the  amount  embi-aced  in  the  bond.  The  expenditure  of 
§2J29  62  over  the  amount  contemplated  by  the  law  was  absolutely 
necessary  to  render  the  building  fit  for  occupancy. 


THE  STATE  DEBT.

REMARKS. 

Two  non-negotiable  bonds  have  been  added  to  the  number  held  in 
trust  for  the  Sinking  Fund  during  the  fiscal  year  ;  one  for  $184,234  00 
for  State  Stock  purchased  with  moneys  of  the  School  Fund,  as  pro- 
vided bj  an  act  entitled  "  An  Act  to  provide  for  the  custody  and 
management  of  the  notes,  bonds,  and  mortgages  arising  out  of  loans 
heretofore  made  by  the  Board  of  Sinking  F-^nd  Commissioners,"  etc., 
approved  March  11,  1867,  and  one  for  $40,000  00,  amount  borrowed 
from  the  Sinking  Fund  for  the  purpose  of  erecting  a  building  for  the 
State  offices,  as  provided  by  an  act  approved  March  9,  1867;  making 
the  total  of  the  bonds  held  for  the  Common  School  as  given  above. 

REDEMPTION    OF    STATE    STOCK — FlYE   PER   CENTS. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  State  Debt  Sinking  Fund  Commis- 
sioners, held  at  the  office  of  the  Auditor  of  State  on  the  7th  day  of 
April,  1868,  the  Board  ascertained  as  near  as  possible  the  amount  of 


28 

money  that  would  be  on  hand,  subject,  by  provision  of  the  act  known 
as  the  ''State  Debt  bill,"  to  the  payment  of  certificates  of  stock  out- 
standing. It  was  estimated  that  there  would  be  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Board  (after  settini>;  apart  a  sufficient  ati.ount  to  take  up  all  the  War 
Loan  Bonds)  enough  to  pay  about  twenty  per  cent,  ot  the  five  per 
cent,  certificates  of  State  stock  suhject  to  redemption.  From  the  fact 
that  the  annual  settlement  of  County  Treasurers  with  the  Treasurer 
of  State  is  postponed  by  law  to  the  third  Monday  in  May,  the  Board 
found  it  impossible  to  do  otherwise  than  to  make  an  approximate 
estim;ite  of  the  amount  of  money  that  would  be  in  the  Fund  on  the 
loth  of  June. 

The  Board  therefore  gave  public  notice  to  holders  of  five  per  cent. 
State  ?tock  that  they  would,  on  the  first  day  of  July,  pay  pro  rata,  to 
holders  of  said  stock  the  amount  of  money  then  on  hand  belonging  to 
said  Fund,  estimated  about  twenty  per  cent,  of  the  certificates  out- 
standing. Holders  wishing  to  accept  the  per  centum  of  principal 
designated  were  required  to  notify  the  Agent  of  State,  at  his  office,  in 
the  city  of  New  Y.ji-k,  on  or  before  the  20th  of  June. 

Li  pursuance  of  an  order  of  the  Board  at  the  meeting  in  April,  the 
Commissioners  met  in  New  York  city  on  Monday,  the  2nd  day  of 
July,  for  the  purpose  of  taking  such  action  in  relation  to  the  redemp- 
tion of  stock  as  should  be  deemed  necessary. 

Ill  view  of  the  fact  that  some  of  the  stockholders  did  not  see  the 
notice  given,  and  did  not  have  an  opportunity,  within  the  time  specified, 
of  siiiiiilying  their  willingness  to  accept  the  dividend  to  be  made,  it 
was  determined  to  extend  the  time  to  the  first  of  July,z.  e.  to  recog- 
nize the  notice  of  holders  given  after  the  20th  of  June. 

The  amount  of  certificates  outstanding  and  suhject  to  redemption, 
at  the  (Lite  of  the  meeting,  was  ^-3,716,136  38.  As  there  were 
funds  sufficient  at  the  disposal  of  the  Board,  to  pay  twenty  per  cent, 
of  that  amoufit,  and  still  have  enough  to  pay  off  the  remaining  two 
and  one  half  per  cent,  certificates  and  War  Loan  Bonds,  it  was  ordered 
that  the  payment  be  made;  whereupon  the  Agent  of  State  proceeded 
to  pay  holders  of  five  per  cent,  stock  twenty  per  cent,  on  the  amount 
of  all  certificates  presented. 

Notice  was  aLo  given  to  holders  of  the  War  Loan  Bonds  that  unless 
said  bonds  were  presented  for  payment  within  a  given  time  the  money 
on  hand  for  the  redemption  of  those  bonds  would  be  applied  to  the 
redemption  of  five  per  cent  certificates. 

From  the  2nd  of  July  to  the  olst  of  October  five  per  cent,  certifi- 
cates of  stock,  amounting  to  $1,489,0'^8  34  were  presented  (most  of 
them  within  a  short  time  after  the  date  given)  for  the  dividend  of 
twenty  per  cent,  declared  by  the  Board — not  otie-half,  it  will  ue  seen, 
of  the  amount  of  certificates  in  the  hands  of  holders  subject  to  redetnp- 
tion.  The  amount  of  the  twenty  per  cent,  thus  paid  is  §297,811  67. 
The  certificates  upon  which  the  payment  was  made  were  forwarded  by 
the  Agent  of  State  to  this  office,  and  new  certificates  for  the  unpaid 
balanc'  issued  to  the  holders  thereof. 

Inasmuch  as  the  certificates  presented  for  the  payment  of  twenty 


29 

per  cent,  did  not  absorb  the  money  on  hand  the  residue  was  held  for 
payment  of  five  per  cent,  certificates  at  their  par  value,  to  such  holders 
as  presented  them  for  redemption.  The  certificates  thus  redeemed  in 
full  amount  to  $137,500. 

By  referring  to  the  Report  of  the  Agent  of  State  to  the  (leneral 
Assembly,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  excess  of  money  in  his  hands  has 
been  used  in  the  redemptions  of  five  per  cents. 

TWO    AND  ONE- HALF    TER   CENTS. 

It  will  be  seen  by  referrinij^  to  my  report  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
October  31,  1867,  that  the  Board  o'^f  State  Debt  Sinking  Fund  Com- 
missioners, at  their  meeting  in  New  York  in  July  of  that  year, 
determined  to  draw  money  from  the  Treasury  sufficient  to  pay  off  all 
the  Two  and  one- half  per  cent,  certificates  of  State  stock  then  out- 
standing, and  that  the  Agent  of  State  was  required  to  give  notice  that 
said  certificates  would  be  paid  in  full  on  presentation  at  his  office,  and 
that  iriterest  on  certificates  not  presented  for  payment  would  cease 
on  and  after  the  15th  of  the  month.  Also  that  in  pursuance  of  the 
order  of  the  Board,  the  Treasurer  of  State  was  required  to  transmit 
to  the  Agent  of  State  the  amount  of  money  sufficient  to  redeem  all  of 
said  cei-tificates.  There  were  outstanding  of  the  Two  and  one-half 
per  cent,  certificates,  at  that  time,  81,183,187  55,  all  of  which  have 
been  redeemed,  excepting  §7,260  13,  which  have  not  been  prtsented 
for  payment.  As  money  for  the  redemption  of  all  the  Two  and  one- 
half  per  cent,  certificates  was  in  the  hands  of  the  Agent,  and  a  very 
large  proportion  had  been  paid  at  the  date  of  the  last  Report,  they 
were  regarded  as  redeemed  in  full,  and  therefore  no  balance  was  shown 
in  the  Report  for  last  year.  Inasmuch,  however,  as  there  are  still 
some  of  the  certificates  outstanding  the  balance  is  herewith  given, 
as  above.  This  much  is  deemed  necessary  in  explanation  of  the  fact 
that  no  two  and  one-half  per  cent,  certificates  were  included  in  the 
exhibit  of  the  public  debt  last  year. 

It  is  necessary  to  add  that  certificates  amounting  to  $5,810  88, 
have  been  issued  during  the  past  year  for  one-half  of  the  accrued  in- 
terest on  Internal  improvement  Bonds  redeemed  as  provided  by 
the  acts  of  1846  and  l8l7;  all  of  which  ha^e  been  paid  by  the  x\gent 
of  State. 

WAR   LOAN   BONDS. 

There  were  outstanding  of  the  six  per  cent.  War  Loan  Bonds,  at 
the  de,te  of  the  last  Report,  $237,000  00.  During  the  year  just  past 
there  have  been  redeemed  bonds  amounting  to  $27,000  00 — all  that 
were  presented  for  payment.  Notice  was  iriven  in  July  that  the  Agent 
of  State  had  money  on  hand  for  the  payment  of  all  the  bonds,  and 
that  unless  they  were  presented  within  a  given  time  the  funds  would 
be  used  in  the  payment  of  five  per  cent,  certificates;  but  holders 
seemed  to  prefer  the  bonds  of  the  State  drawing  six  per  cent,  interest, 
and  a  small  proportion  only  was  presented  for  payment.

INIERNAL   IMPROVEMENT   BONDS. 

There  were  outstnnding  of  the  old  Ipxternal  Improvement  Bonds, 
October  31,  1864,  ^oSo.OOO  00. 

Since  the  date  given  eight  bonds  of  $1,000  00  each,  held  by  the 
Sinking  Fund,  have  been  cancelled  and  destroyed  by  the  Finance 
Committees  of  the  General  Assembly,  as  provided  by  an  act  entitled 
"  An  Act  to  consolidate  certain  Bonds  and  Stocks,"  etc,  approved 
March  7,  1867. 

Eight  bnnds  of  §1,000  00  enchhave  been  redeemed,  as  provided  in 
the  Hcts  of  18 -i 6  and  1847,  by  the  issue  of  five  per  cent,  certificates 
of  State  stock  for  one-half  the  principal,  and  two  and  one-half  per 
cent,  certificates  of  State  stock  for  one  h;ilf  the  accrued  interest. 
These  bonds  were  redeemed  in  Janua^-y,  February  and  April,  1868, 
as  appears  on  the  records  of  this  ofiice. 


SETTLEMENT    WITH    I  HE    GdNERiL    GOVERNMENT, 


Under  an  act  entitled  "  An  Act  ratifvino;  the  action  of  the  Governor 
\x\  settlins:  and  discharacing  the  State's  quota  of  the  direct  tax  levied 
by  Congress,"  etc.,  approved  March  6,  1865,  the  Governor  was  au- 
thoiized  to  proceed  v.'ith  the  settlement  of  the  claims  of  the  State  by 
such  agent  or  agents  as  he  should  deem  necessary. 

In  August  of  the  present  year  Governor  Baker,  with  the  concur- 
rence of  the  other  State  officer;^,  authorized  Adjutant  General  W.  H, 
H.  Terrell  to  proceed  to  Washington  to  procure  a  full  statement  of 
the  accounts  between  the  Stat-"  and  the  United  States  as  to  the  Three 
per  cent.  Fund,  and  to  examine  the  bonds  arid  coupons  held  by  the 
Secretary  of  the  Interior,  and  to  arrange  with  the  proper  authorities 
a  plan  of  settlement. 

In  the  settlement  which  followed  it  was  set  forth  on  the  part  of  the 
Government  that  a  number  of  Internal  Impro\ement  Bonds  of  the 
State  were  held  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Intt-rior  in  trust  for  certain 
tribes  of  Indians,  upon  which  bonds  no  interest  had  been  paid  by 
the  State  since  .January,  1841  ;  that  moneys  accruing  to  the  State 
since  1849,  on  account  of  the  Three  per  cent.  Fund,  had  been  with- 
held by  the  Government  and  applied  to  the  payment  in  part  of  the 
interest  <)n  the  bonds  ;  and  that  a  caveat  had  been  filed  with  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Treasury  requiring  that  oflScer  to  withhold  an  amount  of 
money  from  moneys  due  the  State  on  account  of  war  claims  sufficient 
to  discharge  the  indebtedness  of  the  State  to  the  Indian  Trust  Fund.

bonds  so  held  in  trust,  and  the  amount  of  interest  due  at  the  dates

Secretary  of  the  Interior  for  the  benefit  of  various  Indian  tribes,  viz: 

Nos.  1  to  100,  inclusive,  $1,000  each ^100,000  00

CLOSING    THE   FUND. 

It  "will  be  seen  by  comparing  the  present  with  the  last  Annual  Re- 
port, that  a  large  part  of  tho  Mortgage  loans  has  been  paid  during 
the  current  year,  as  required  by  the  act  approved  March  II,  l?i67. 
This  act  providt'S  th;tt  all  loans,  which  by  the  terms  of  the  coutiact, 
may  become  due  on  or  before  the  25th  of  December,  1868,  may  be 
paid  in  three  instalments,  one-third  annually,  beginning  in  the  present 
year.  The  law  is  now  generally  understood  by  barrowers,  and  if  not 
changed,  the  loans  will  nearly  all  be  paid  in  by  the  close  of  the  year 
1870'. 

The  amount  of  Indiana  Five  per  cent,  stocks  purchased  during  the 
year  is  comparatively  small,  but  it  comprises  all  that  were  offered. 
The  law  y)roviding  for  the  redemption  of  these  stocks  by  the  State 
Debt  Sinking  Fund  cauvsed  a  rapid  appreciation  in  their  value  and 
virtually  closed  the  market.  Holders  were  unwilling  t<.  sell  at  a  dis- 
count stocks  which  they  supposed  would  speedily  be  redeemed  at 
par. 

The  following  statement  exhibits  the  condition  of  the  Fund  on  the

BIENNIAL  REPORT

OF     THE 


STATE  OF  INDIANA 


January  1,  1869. 


TO  THE  LEGISLATURE. 


INDIANAPOLIS: 

ALEXANDER    H.    CONNER,    STATE    PRINTER. 

.  1869. 
D.  J.— S.  A.— 1

Office  Idiana   State   Agency, 
27  Pine  Street,  New  York, 
January  1,  1869. 

I  respectfully  submit  the  following  report  of  the  transactions  of 
this  office  from  the  31st  of  October,  1866,  to  this  date. 

I  took  possession  of  the  office  on  the  21st  of  February,  1867,  at 
No.  27,  Pine  street,  New  York,  where  the  Agency  continues. 

The  accompanying  tables  show  amounts  and  payments  of  in- 
terest on  the  Five  and  Two  and  one-half  per  cent,  certificates  of 
State  stock,  and  War  Loan  Bonds;  also  dividends  made  on  certifi- 
cates of  stock  in  pursuance  of  the  provisions  of  the  '•  State  Debt 
Bill"  and  redemptions  in  full  of  certificates  and  bonds  as  provided 
by  said  act. 

During  the  first  week  in  January,  1867,  the  Board  of  State  Debt 
Sinking  Fund  Commissioners  notified  the  holders  of  the  War  Loan 
Bonds  that  the  Agent  of  State  would  redeem  their  Bonds,  at  par, 
at  the  Agency,  on  the  first  day  of  May  succeeding,  to  the  extent  of 
tlie  moneys  on  hand,  applicable  to  that  purpose,  and  required  said 
holders  to  notify  the  Agent  of  State,  at  his  office  in  New  Y^ork,  on 
or  betbre  the  25th  of  March  succeeding,  of  their  acceptance  of  the 
proposition  to  take  such  payment.  Under  that  notice  War  Loan 
Bonds  amounting  to  639,000  were  surrendered  and  redeemed  in 
full,  and  in  December  following  -So.OOO  additional  were  surrendered 
and  redeemed. 

The  Five  and  Two  and  one-half  per  cent,  certificates  of  stock 
were  made  redeemable  at  any  time  after  twenty  years  from  the 
19th  of  January,  1846,  at  the  pleasure  of  the  State.  The  twenty 
years  expired  on  the  19th  of  January,  1866. 

Notice  was  given  as  the  law  directs,  that  the    Agent   of  State 


would  pay  ouf,  pro  ?'ata,  the  money  on  band  applicable  to  that  ):>ur- 
pose,  in  the  redemption  of  the  outstanding  Five  and  Two  and  one» 
half  per  cent,  certificates  of  stock,  on  the  first  day  of  July,  1867,  at 
the  Agency  in  New  York,  the  holders  of  the  latter  having  priority. 
On  the  30th  of  Jane,  1867,  the  Board  of  State  Debt  Sinking 
Fund  Commissioners  met  at  the  office  of  the  Agent  of  State,  in 
New  York,  and  resolved  that  under  the  foregoing  notice,  allthe 
outstanding  Two  and  one-half  per  cent,  certificates  of  stock, 
amounting  at  tiiat  tirae,  as  appeared  by  the  Register  of  the  Agency, 
to  81,lSo,lS7  55,  should  be  redeemed,  and  required  the  Agent  of 
State  to  notify  the  holders  by  public  notice  in  two  daily  papers 
published  in  New  York,  that  he  had  funds  on  hand,  at  the  Agency, 
sufficient  to  redeem  all  their  certificates  of  stock,  and  that  said  cer- 
tificates would  cease  to  draw  interest  after  the  15th  of  July  suc- 
ceeding. The  notice  was  given  by  the  Agent  by  publication  in 
the  ^-Dciilij  Tribune'''  and  ^'•Evening  Post^^  and  the  accompanyiiig 
tables  show  that  all  but  a  small  amount  of  the  Two  and  one-half 
per  cent,  stocks  have  been  redeemed.  It  is  proper,  in  this  connec- 
tion, to  state  that  at  the  time  the  Board  of  State  Debt  Sinking  Fund 
Commissioners  resolved  to  redeem  all  the  outstanding  Two  and 
one-half  per  cent,  stocks,  there  was  not  in  their  hands,  including 
the  unexpended  balance  of  the  War  Loan  Redemption  Fund, 
money  sufficient  for  that  purpose,  and  that  the  deficit  was  drawn 
from  the  general  fund  in  the  Treasury. 

There  are  outstanding,  of  the  Two  and  one-half  per  cent,  certifi- 
cates, at  the  date  of  this  report,  87,260  13 — all  that  remain  of 
$2,076,460  50  that  were  in  the  hands  of  lioiders  at  the  date  of  the 
passage  of  the  ••  State  Debt  Bill,"  December  21,  1865.  The  unre- 
deemed certificates  have  not  beeii  presented  for  payment,  and  it  is 
probable  that  a  large  portion  of  them  are  lost  or  destroyed. 

War  Loan  Bonds  amountiiig  to  $25,000  were  redeemed  under 
the  notice  given  in  January,  1868,  to  the  holders,  as  required  by 
law,  informing  them  that  the  Agent  of  Stare  would  pay  out  the 
funds  on  hand,  for  that  purpose,  at  his  office,  on  the  first  day  of 
May,  1868;  and  the  unexpended  balance  of  the  War  Loan  funds 
was  then  transferred  to  the  fund  for  the  redemption  of  the  Five  per 
cent,  stocks. 

On  the  first  Wednesday  of  April,  1868,  the  Board  of  State  Debt 
Sinkinof  F'und  Commissioners  met  at  tlie  office  of  the  Auditor  of 


State,  and  fonud  that  on  tlit;  loili  clay  of  June  succec  uiiig,  \\\vre 
uould  be  in  the  Treasury,  belonging  to  the  State  Debt  Sinking 
Fund,  money  enough  to  pay  twenty  per  cent,  of  the  principal  of 
the  outstanding  Five  per  cent,  certificates  of  stock,  and  holders  of 
the  same  were  accordingly  notitied,  as  the  law  directs,  that  \\\v 
Agent  of  State  would  pay  twenty  per  cent,  of  their  stock  upon  sur- 
render, at  the  Agency,  on  the  tirst  of  July  succeeding,  said  holders 
iiaving  notified  the  Agent  of  State,  at  his  otlice,  in  New  York,  on 
or  before  the  20th  of  June,  of  their  intention  to  accept  said  pro  rata 
payment. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  some  of  the  holders  complained  that  tlicv 
had  not  observed  the  notice,  I  delerniined  to  pay,  and  did  pay,  the 
twenty  per  cent,  to  those  who  had  notified  me  of  their  intention  to 
accept  the  same,  up  to  the  first  of  July.  The  pro  rata  payment 
amounted  to  $297,811  67,  leaving  a  balance,  which  was  used  in 
the  redemption  of  five  per  cent,  certificates  of  stock  in  full,  and 
such  War  Bonds  as  could  be  obtained,  which  will  fully  appear  by 
reference  to  the  accompanying  tables. 

The  redeemed  Bonds  and  Five  and  Two  and  one- half  per  cent, 
stocks  are  in  the  safes  of  the  office  of  the  Auditor  of  Stale,  ready 
to  be  examined,  canceled  and  destroyed. 

Eight  Internal  Improveuient  Bonds,  of  81,000  each,  have  been 
redeemed  through  the  iVgency,  as  provided  by  the  act-<  of  1846  and 
1847,  by  issuing  Five  per  cent,  certificates  for  one-half  of  the  prin- 
cipal of  the  Bonds  surrendered,  and  Two  and  one-half  per  cent, 
certificates  for  one-half  of  the  accrued  interest — said  certificates 
being  State  stock.  Corresponding  certificates  of  Wabash  and 
Erie  Canal  stock  were  issued  as  provided  by  the  acts  named.  One 
certificate  of  Two  and  one-half  per  c(>nt.  stock,  for  ^.425,  was  is- 
sued, also,  for  >^8o0,  in  coupons  clipped  from  Internal  Improvement 
Bonds,  and  held  by  the  owner  thereof. 

Eight  Internal  Improvement  Bonds,  of  81,000  each,  held  by  iht; 
Sinking  Fund — that  is,  the  School  Fund — were  canceled  and  de 
stroyed  by  the  Finance  Committee  of  the  Legislature,  as  provided 
by  an  act  for  that  purpose,  approved  March  7,  1867. 

By  a  s(*ttlement  with  the  General  Government,  completed  in 
November,  one  hundred  and  forty-one  Bonds,  of  81,000  each,  held 
by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  in  trust  for  certain  tribes  of  In-

shown  by  the  Governor  in  his  message  to  the  General   Assembly, 
and  by  the  Auditor  of  State  in  his  annual  report. 

There  are  now  outstanding  of  the  Internal  Improvement  Bonds 
8196,000. 

Two  years  more  will  be  sutFic-ient  to  pay  off  our  entire  public 
debt,  if  the  present  rate  of  taxation  is  continued,  and  the  funds 
collected  for  that  purpose  are  faithfully  a|)plied. 

The  outstanding  War  Loan  Bonds,  at  the  date  of  this  report, 
amount  to  8207,000.  They  have  not  been  redeemed  because  the 
owners  prefer  holding  them  as  an  investment. 

The  Five  per  cent,  stocks  are  now  at  par,  and  many,  perhaps 
most,  of  that  class  of  our  creditors,  prefer  holding  them  to  having 
them  redeemed.  I  would,  therefore,  recommend  the  enactment  of 
a  law  making  it  the  duty  of  the  Board  of  State  Deb*:  Sinking 
Fund  Commissioners,  in  coniiection  with  the  Goven^ior,  whenever 
there  are  funds  in  the  hands  of  the  Agent  of  State,  in  consequence 
of  the  owners  failinar  or  refusino:  to  surrender  their  Bonds  or  Stocks 
for  redemption,  in  whole  or  in  part,  within  a  reasonable  time  after 
notice,  to  invest  the  same  in  United  States  Bt)nds,  at  the  lowest 
market  price,  and  making  it  the  duly  of  the  Board,  in  conneciion 
with  the  Governor,  to  convert  said  United  States  Bonds  whenever 
necessary  to  take  up  Srate  Bonds  or  Stocks  presented  for  redemp- 
tion. The  interest  on  the  United  States  Bonds  thus  purchased 
would  more  than  offset  the  interest  on  a  like  amount  of  State 
stock.

TRUSTEES'  REPORT 


To  his  Excellency  Conrad  Baker ^  Governor  of  Indiana : 

The  Trustees  of  the  Indiana  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the 
Deaf  and  Dumb  respectfully  submit  to  your  Excellency  their  twenty- 
fifth  annual  report. 

The  affairs  of  the  Institution,  both  educational  and  industrial,  have 
been  managed  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  the  board.  Officers  and 
teachers  have  performed  their  respective  duties  faithfully  and  effi- 
43iently,  the  finances,  upon  the  closest  inspection,  are  found  to  have 
been  economically  and  judiciously  administered,  and  the  Institution 
has  gone  onward  in  its  mission  of  mercy,  liberally  dispensing  its 
blessings  to  those  for  whose  benefit  it  was  founded. 

We  herewith  transmit  the  report  of  the  Superintendent,  which  con- 
tains a  large  amount  of  valuable  information  pertaining  to  the  condi- 
tion and  wants  of  the  Institution,  to  the  perusal  of  which  you  are 
respectfully  invited. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  present  buildings  belonging  to  the  Institu- 
tion are  wholly  inadef(uate  for  the  accommodation  of  those  of  the 
State  who  are  entitled  to  its  benefits.  Indeed,  they  are  now  in  such 
a  crowded  condition  that,  from  considerations  of  a  sanitary  character, 
aot  another  pupil  should  be  admitted.  The  number  now  in  attend- 
ance is  one  hundred  and  eighty-six.  From  tlie  most  reliable  informa- 
tion that  could  be  directly  obtained  from  the  several  counties  of  the 
State,  the  number  of  children  of  the  proper  age  for  instruction  is  es- 
timated at  about  three  hundred.  The  correctness  of  this  estimate  is 
verified  by  inferences  drawn  from  an  examination  of  the  statistics  of 
population  running  through  a  series  of  years,  and  embracing  a  great 
aumber  of  facts,  which  the  Superintendent  has  elaborated  in  his  re- 
port, and  which  are  worthy  of  a  careful  perusal. 

There  are,  then,  nearly  one  hundred  deaf  and  dumb  children  whose 


8 

education  is  unprovided  for.  The  mere  statement  of  this  fact  ought 
to  secure  from  every  tax  payer  of  the  State  a  hearty  approval  of  the 
project  for  enlarging  the  buildings.  If  it  was  right  and  praiseworthy 
in  the  citizens  of  a  past  generation  to  found  this  Institution,  when 
the  State  was  comparatively  weak  in  population,  in  physical  resources, 
and  in  the  wealth  of  its  people,  surely  it  is  now  our  hounden  duty  to 
provide  suitable  accommodations  for  those  who  have  a  like  claim 
upon  the  State  as  those  w^ho  have  hitherto  enjoyed  its  favor.  To 
withhold  the  aid  required,  would  be  to  go  back  upon  our  history  as  a 
progressive  and  enterprising  people,  and  to  be  left  in  the  back- 
ground by  the  advancement  which  our  sister  States  are  making  in 
this  direction. 

We  therefore  respectfully  petition  your  honorable  body,  in  the  con- 
fident belief  that  it  will  be  granted,  for  an  appropriation  of  forty-two 
thousand  and  five  hundred  dollars  (^42,500),  for  the  purpose  of  en- 
larging the  buildings.  The  plans  and  estimates  of  the  proposed  im- 
provement, as  furnished  by  a  competent  architect,  are  fully  set  forth 
in  the  Superintendent's  report. 

Perhaps  at  no  time,  in  this  country,  since  the  work  of  teaching  the 
deaf  and  dumb  was  begun,  has  that  work  been  made  the  subject  of 
such  careful  examination  and  earnest  discussion  as  during  the  past  few 
years.  The  wisdom  of  the  system  of  teaching  exclusively  by  meiins 
of  "natural  signs,"  the  one  employed  in  almost  all  American  insti- 
tutions, has  been  called  in  question  by  certain  able  and  popular  edu- 
cators. This  has  led  to  a  re-examination  of  the  whole  subject  on  the 
part  of  the  profession.  The  superintendents  of  all  the  institutions 
of  the  country  have  held  meetings  to  deliberate  upon  the  matter,  and 
careful  investigations  have  been  made  of  the  systems  employed  in 
the  various  European  institutions.  The  result  of  all  this  has  been  to 
confirm,  in  all  essential  particulars,  the  wisdom  of  the  system  now  in 
use,  while  it  shows,  at  the  same  time,  that  to  a  limited  extent,  the 
plan  of  teaching  by  articulation  ought  also  to  be  introduced.  The 
Superintendent  has  devoted  a  considerable  space  to  the  consideration 
of  this  subject,  which  cannot  fail  to  be  highly  interesting  to  those 
who  have  the  welfare  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  at  heart. 

The  term  of  office  of  the  President  of  the  board,  and  one  of  the 
Trustees,  will  expire  on  the  second  day  of  April,  1869.  It  will,  of 
course,  devolve  upon  the  Legislature  to  fill  the  offices  which  will  thus 
be  made  vacant. 

In  order  to  secure  perfect  exactness  in  the  account  of  current  ex- 


9 

penses,  every  bill  of  purchase,  before  being  paid,  is  submitted  to  a 
close  examination  by  the  board.  For  the  incidental  expenses  in- 
curred in  making  purchases  for  Vfhich  small  amounts  of  money  are 
required,  a  monthly  allowance  is  made  to  the  Steward.  The  bills  for 
these  purchases  are  also  examined  by  the  board,  and  are  only  ap- 
proved when  found  ro  be  strictly  correct.  These  bills  are  all  on  file, 
and  open  to  inspection  at  any  time.

STJPEEINTENDENT'S  EEPORT. 


To  the  Board  of  Trustees : 

Gentlemen: — lu  the  performance  of  my  duty  as  the  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Indiana  Institution  for  Educating  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb,  I  hereby  respectfully  submit  to  your  honorable  body  the 
following  report,  containing  an  account  of  the  operations  of  the 
different  departments  under  my  control,  their  present  condition  and 
prospects,  and  an  estimate  of  the  probable  amount  that  will  be 
needed  to  support  the  establishment  the  ensuing  two  years. 

Through  the  fostering  care  of  a  beneficent  Providence  the  Insti- 
tution has  continued  without  interruption  to  fulfill  the  high  and 
noble  purpose  of  its  creation.  Prosperity  and  success  have  crowned 
the  labors  of  the  year.  The  officers  and  teachers  associated  in  the 
service  of  the  Board,  have  uniformly  manifested  a  praiseworthy 
interest  in  the  promotion  of  the  best  interests  of  the  Institution, 
and  the  welfare  and  improvement  of  the  pupils.  They  have  been 
zealous  and  faithful  in  the  discharge  of  all  their  duties.  Proper 
subordination,  entire  harmony  and  hearty  cooperation  have  existed 
throughout  the  establishment.  The  pupils  generally  have  been 
punctual  in  their  attendance  and  diligent  in  their  studies,  and,  with 
few  exceptions,  have  shown  a  proper  appreciation  of  the  advan- 
tages here  afforded  them  for  improvement.  They  have  been  orderly 
in  their  conduct,  and  have  yielded  a  willing  and  cheerful  obedience 
to  the  rules  and  regulations  established  for  their  government.  Their 
advancement,  therefore,  during  the  year,  in  intellectual  and  moral 
improvement,  has  not  been  surpassed,  it  is  believed,  by  that  of  any 
similar  period  in  the  former  history  of  the  Institution. 

SANITARY    CONDITION. 

The  health  of  the  officers  and  pupils  the  past  year  has,  in  gene- 
ral, been  very  good ;  but  few  cases  of  sickness  have  occurred 
among  them,  and  but  slight  interruptions  to  the  business  of  the 
session  have  occurred  from  this  cause. 


12 

For  a  particular  account  of  the  sanitary  condition  of  the  Insti- 
tution, you  are  respectfully  referred  to  the  accompanying  report  of    : 
our  skillful  and  attentive  physician,  who  has  the  special  charge  of    i 
this   department.     Attention  is  especially  invited  to  his  remarks    \ 
upon  the  over  crowded  condition  of  the  sleeping  apartments,  the    ' 
pressing  need  of  additional  dormitories,  hospital  rooms,  and  ac- 
commodations for  lanndry  and  culinary  purposes.     His  long  con- 
nection with  the  Institution  and  intimate  acquaintance  with  its 
actual  condition  and  wants  in  these  respects,  as  well  as  his  profes- 
sional knowledge   of  these   subjects,  will  entitle   his  opinions  to 
great  weight,  and  will,  it  is  hoped,  secure  for  them  an  attentive 
consideration.

EXPENDITURES. 

The  finances  of  the  Institution  are  in  a  satisfactory  condition. 
The  appropriations  made  by  the  last  General  Assembly  have  been 
sufficient,  and,  it  is  believed,  have  been  used  economically,  and  in 
all  cases  strictly  for  the  purposes  for  which  they  were  granted. 
The  total  receipts  from  all  sources  have  been  sixty-one  thousand 
nine  hundred  and  eighty-nine  dollars  and  forty-two  cents,  and  the 
payments  forty-seyen  thousand  one  hundred  and  one  dollars  and 
ninety-nine  cents;  which  leaves,  at  this  date,  available  for  the  cur- 
rent quarter  of  the  present  year,  the  sum  of  fifteen  thousand  and 
sixty-two  dollars  and  forty-three  cents. 

As  required  by  law  we  exhibit  in  detail  the  items  of  all  expendi- 
tures since  the  last  report,  and  for  what  purposes.  This  will  be 
found  in  the  appendix  to  this  communication. 

The  following  summary  statement  will  show  the  condition  of 
each  fund  at  this  date.

MANUAL  LABOR. 

This  department  of  the  Institution  continues  to  receive  a  due 
share  of  attention.  The  training  of  the  pupils  in  the  habits  of 
useful  labor,  and  in  the  knowledge  and  practice  of  suitable  trades, 
has  been  pursued  the  last  year  without  intermission,  and  as  here- 
tofore, with  a  good  degree  of  success.  This  part  of  their  educa- 
tion, we  have  every  reason  for  believing,  is  very  satisfactory  to  most 
of  the  parents  and  friends,  and  is  highly  appreciated  by  them  gen- 
erally. Cabinet-making  and  shoemaking  are  carried  on  for  the 
benefit  of  the  boys,  and  tailoring  and  mantua-making  for  the  girls. 
From  twenty  to  thirty  have  been  engaged  from  two  to  three  hours  a 
day  at  each  of  these  occupations.  Those  not  employed  in  the  shop?" 
spend  the  time  set  apart  for  work,  the  boys  in  helping  cultivate  the 
farm  and  garden,  and  in  the  other  out-door  work,  and  the  girls  in  as- 
sisting in  such  of  the  household  duties  as  are  adapted  to  their  age 
and  capacity,  and  as  they  can  perform  without  interfering  with 
their  studies.  Each  one  is  allowed,  as  far  as  practicable,  a  choice 
of  occupations;  no  one  is  compelled  to  work  at  a  trade  that  he 
does  not  like,  but  all  are  expected  to  spend  a  portion  of  each  day 


14 

ill  labor  during  the  whole  course  of  their  studies  in  school.  In  a 
pecuniary  point  of  view,  the  shops  have  been  as  successful  as  could 
be  expected.  The  profits  on  the  sale  of  work  has  a  little  more 
than  defrayed  the  entire  expense  of  their  support,  as  is  shown 
above. 

NUMBER    OF    PUPILS. 

The  whole  number  of  pupils  regularly  admitted  to  the  Institu- 
tion during  the  year  commencing  November  1,  1867,  and  ending 
October  31,  1868,  has  been  two  hundred  and  nine,  of  whom  ninety- 
four  have  been  girls,  and  one  hundred  and  fifteen  boys.  Three 
have  been  dismissed  for  improper  conduct,  two  ran  away,  and  were 
killed  by  the  locomotive  as  they  were  walking  along  the  railroad 
track,  six  miles  this  side  of  Lafayette.  Eighteen  having  finished 
the  prescribed  course  of  study,  were  at  the  close  of  the  last  session 
honorably  discharged,  and,  at  the  opening  of  this  term,  forty  new 
ones  have  been  received.  The  number  of  beneficiaries  therefore 
remaining  at  this  date,  is  one  hundred  and  eighty-six,  comprising 
eighty-two  girls  and  one  hundred  and  four  boys.  This  is  a  num- 
ber much  larger  than  has  ever  been  under  instruction  before. 

The  increase  this  year  in  the  number  of  pupils  has  been  una- 
voidable, without  doing  injustice  to  some  who  greatly  need  the 
benefits  of  the  Institution.  Two  years  ago,  our  estimates  for  sup- 
port were  on  the  basis  of  one  hundred  and  sixty  pupils,  and  for 
several  years  past  we  have,  for  the  want  of  sufficient  accommoda- 
tions, been  admitting,  of  new  pupils,  a  number  only  about  equal  to 
those  discharged.  It  was  our  purpose,  this  session,  to  form  only 
one  new  class  in  place  of  the  one  discharged;  but  so  numerous 
and  urgent  have  been  the  applications  for  admission,  and  so  reluc- 
tant have  we  been  to  turn  any  away  of  suitable  age  and  capacity 
for  instruction,  that  we  have  been  induced,  this  fall,  to  select  and  form 
t,\yo  classes  of  twenty  pupils  each,  instead  of  one.  To  make  room 
for  them,  some  of  the  teachers  heretofore  boarding  in  the  Institu- 
tion have  been  compelled  to  find  accommodations  elsewhere ;  and 
yet  we  have  not  been  able  to  admit  all  that  have  wished  to  enter.* 
No  special  eflbrt  has  been  made  to  add  to  the  number  of  pupils.  On 
the  contrary  we  have  been  compelled  to  refuse  some,  and  discourage 

*  The  number  of  applications  for  admission,  since  the  Classes  -wrere  made  up 
at  the  beginning  of  the  Session,  is,  at  this  date,  January  15,  1869,  thirty-four. 


15 

others  from  applving,  and  discharge  several  who  would  have  been 
greatly  benefitted  by  remaining  under  instruction  a  year  or  two 
longer.  This  last  is  especially  the  case  with  reference  to  several  of 
the  boys  recently  sent  away,  who,  though  passable  in  scholarship, 
Were,  on  account  of  the  early  age  at  which  they  were  admitted  to 
the  School,  deficient  in  the  knowledge  of  their  trades,  so  essential 
to  their  success  in  after  life,  Nevertheless  the  number  of  pupils  is 
now  largely  in  excess  of  the  accommodations.  The  dormitories 
are  crowded  beyond  what  is  proper  for  either  health  or  comfort. 

The  NtfMBER  OF  DEAF  MUTES  IN  THE  STATE. 

It  is  necessary,  therefore,  for  us  to  consider  the  aggregate  nuru' 
ber  of  this  class  of  persons  now^  in  the  community,  and  the  propor- 
tion that  will  need  instruction.  Fortunately,  on  this  subject,  we 
have  no  need  to  resort  to  hypothesis,  but  to  accurate  statistical  in- 
formation collected  and  preserved  by  the  General  Government, 
By  such  information,  it  is  settled  beyond  cavil  that  the  law  which 
regulates  the  diffusion  of  deafness  throughout  large  communities^ 
operates  in  nearly  a  uniform  manner,  and  that  the  proportion  of 
deaf  mutes  to  the  whole  population  varies  but  little  in  different 
countries.  It  has  now  been  twenty-five  years  since  the  Institution 
was  established.  The  population  of  the  State  is  now  nearly  three 
times  what  it  was  then.  Its  increase  has  been  very  rapid.  Ac- 
cording to  the  United  States  Census,  the  number  of  inhabitants 
in  1840  was  only  six  hundred  and  eighty-eight  thousand,  and  in 
1860  one  million  three  hundred  and  fifty  thousand.  The  increase 
the  last  decade  has  been  three  hundred  and  sixty-two  thousand,  or 
more  than  thirty-six  per  cent.  During  the  eight  years  since  the  last 
enumeration  was  made,  the  rate  of  growth  has  certainly  not  been 
less,  but  more;  and  it  is  believed  to  have  been  on  the  average  of 
fully  four  per  cent,  per  annum.  This  shows  the  population  to-day 
to  be  nearly  eighteen  hundred  thousand,  and  by  1870  it  will  have 
reached  nineteen  hundred  thousand.  By  a  comparison  of  the  sta- 
tistics of  different  countries,  it  is  found  that  the  ratio  of  the  deaf 
and  dumb  to  the  whole  po[)ulation  is  as  one  to  from  fifteen  to 
eighteen  hundred.  Within  a  short  time  past,  a  very  careful  enu- 
meration of  this  class  of  persons  has  been  made  in  the  State  of 
Massachusetts.  In  a  population  of  one  million  four  hundred  and 
sixty-five  thousand,  nine  hundred  and  fifty  deaf  mutes  were  found, 
or  one  deaf  mute  to  every  one  thousand  five  hundred  and  forty-two 


16 

of  the  inhabitants.  This  corresponds  very  nearly  with  the  propor- 
tion which  exists  in  several  of  the  surrounding  States,  the  statistics 
of  which  we  have  examined.  For  example,  in  Virginia  the  popu- 
lation, excluding  negroes,  was  one  to  every  one  thousand  five  hun- 
dred and  fifty,  and  in  Kentucky  one  to  one  thousand  six  hundred 
and  two  of  the  inhabitants.  The  average  in  the  three  StatcvS 
mentioned  is  one  to  one  thousand  five  hundred  and  sixty-five, 
which  we  think  is  about  the  proportion  existing  in  our  State. 

Granting  the  present  population  of  Indiana  to  be  one  million 
seven  hundred  and  eighty-two  thousand,  the  above  ratio  will  give 
eleven  hundred  and  thirty-seven  as  the  present  number  of  deaf 
and  dumb  within  our  borders.  The  annual  increase  of  the  popu- 
lation being  fifty-four  thousand,  the  same  ratio,  by  1870,  will  show 
the  number  of  deaf  mutes  in  the  State  to  be  twelve  hundred  and 
five. 

But  it  still  may  be  asked,  what  proportion  of  this  number  are  of 
the  proper  age  to  receive  instruction?  A  satisfactory  answer  to 
this  question  is  found  in  the  last  United  States  Census  Report, 
under  the  head  of  "  Statistics  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb."  This  doc- 
ument contains  a  record  of  eleven  thousand  eight  hundred  and 
forty-nine  deaf  mutes,  classified  according  to  age.  Of  the  whole 
number  of  these  whose  ages  are  recorded,  one  thousand  eight  hun- 
dred and  forty-nine  were  under  ten  years,  five  thousand  nine  hun- 
dred and  seventeen  were  above  twenty,  and  from  ten  to  twenty,  the 
proper  school  age,  there  were  four  thousand  and  nineiy,  or  thirty- 
four  per  cent,  of  the  whole  number.  Applying  this  calculation  to 
our  own  State,  it  gives  us  three  hundred  and  eighty-six  as  the  pres- 
ent number  of  the  proper  age  to  be  received  as  pupils  of  the  Insti- 
tution. 

But  it  is  not  at  all  probable  that  these  ail  could  be  brought  un- 
der instruction ;  doubtless  some  from  sickness,  and  some  from  im- 
becility of  mind,  and  others  from  ignorance,  poverty,  or  indiflfer- 
ence  of  their  parents  or  friends,  could  not  be  brought  to  avail  them- 
selves of  these  advantages;  yet  after  making  all  due  allowance  for 
these  drawbacks,  we  believe,  were  sutTicient  accommodations  pro- 
vided, and  the  proper  influence  brought  to  bear,  we  could  count 
upon  three  hundred  of  them  at  least.  That  this  is  not  an  extrava- 
gant estimate  will  be  seen  from  the  following  statement : 

The  law  in  this  State  leaves  the  length  of  time  a  pupil  shall  re- 
main under  instruction  to  the  discretion  of  the  Trustees.     In  Mas- 


17 

sachusetts,  New  York  and  Ohio,  tho  term  of  tuition  fixed  by  law 
is  ten  years.  The  usu'il  time  allowed  in  other  States  is  neven 
years.  The  average  time  that  our  pnp'ls  have  been  retained  has 
been  a  little  les>  thin  six  years.  The  Institution  has  now  been  in 
operation  a  quarter  of  a  century.  The  whole  niniiber  of  pupils 
admitted  to  its  privileges  from  its  commencement  has  been  seven 
hundred  and  twenty-five;  the  aggregate  number  discharged  has 
been  five  hundred  and  forty,  and  the  number  now  remaining  is  one 
hundred  and  eighty-six.  The  average  annual  admissions  have 
been  twenty-nine,  and  omitting  the  first  five  years,  which  ir  took 
to  organize  the  classes,  the  annual  number  discharged  has  b(!en 
just  twenty-seven,  making  only  an  actual  average  increase  of  two 
pupils  per  annum,  or  forty  in  twenty  years.  This  is  a  proportional 
increase  far  below  the  growth  in  the  population  of  the  State,  there 
being,  as  shown  above,  from  eleven  to  twelve  hundred  deaf-mutes, 
and  between  three  and  four  hundred  of  these  being  of  the  proper 
age  for  instruction,  there  would  be  furnished  from  forty  to  fifty  an- 
nually, who  would  need  this  blessing.  Supposing  forty-five  new 
pupils  should  be  received  annually  and  retained  under  instruction 
the  regular  term  of  seven  years,  and  supposing  an  equal  immber 
should  be  discharged  annually,  at  the  end  of  seven  years  there  v/ould 
be  three  hundred  and  fifteen  pupils.  The  present  population  of  the 
State,  would  supply  this  number,  and  by  the  exertion  of  the  proper 
influence,  forty,  at  least,  each  year  could  be  brought  under  instruction. 

It  will  be  perceived  that  the  number  of  beneficiaries  depends 
upon  the  average  number  of  admissions  and  the  length  of  time  pu- 
])ils  remain  in  school,  and  if  the  accommodations  be  not  enlarged, 
we  shall  be  compelled,  either  to  limit  the  number  of  admissions  or 
shorten  the  term  of  instruction.  In  this  latter  particular  we  are 
now  much  below  the  term  allowed  in  other  states,  and  we  ought 
in  this  respect  to  advance  rather  than  recede.  The  time  of  instruc- 
tion ought,  instead  of  five  or  six  years,  to  be  increased  to  seven  or 
eight,  and  the  number  of  admissions,  instead  of  thirty,  should  be 
advanced  to  forty  or  forty-five  annually. 

The  duty  of  providing  for  the  education  of  this  class  of  children 
has  been  assumed  by  the  people  of  the  State.  If  it  is  right  to  pro- 
vide for  one,  it  is  but  just  to  make  provision  for  all.  There  is  no 
class  of  the  community  wdio  need  it  more,  nor  any  who  are  more 
elevated  in  the  scale  of  happiness  and  usefulness  by  it  than  they 
are.  To  be  deaf  and  dumb,  without  education,  is  worse,  beyond

comparison,  than  to  be  blind.  By  their  misfortune  they  are  cut  off 
from  all  the  ordinary  means  of  improvement,  and  so  shut  up  in 
mental  and  moral  darkness,  and  so  helpless  of  self-culture  that  for 
ages  their  case  was  abandoned  as  hopeless. 

TH1-:  p:xtension  or  the  buildings. 

The  necessity  of  enlarging  the  accommodations  of  the  institu- 
tions was  treated  of  somewhat  at  length  in  our  last  annual  report. 
From  our  increasing  numbers  there  is  an  increasing  need  for  this. 
Besides  the  want  of  more  room  for  lodging  the  pupils  and  those 
who  have  the  care  of  them,  there  are  other  reasons  equally  cogent 
why  this  should  be  done  without  unnecessary  delay. 

The  wash-house  and  drying  room,  laundry  and  clothes  room,  the 
kitchen  and  dining  room,  the  bakery  and  store  rooms  and  the  sinks 
and  bath  rooms  are  all  in  the  basament  of  the  main  building,  over 
the  cellar  which  is  exclusively  occupied  by  the  air  chambers  and  the 
coils  of  the  heating  apparatus.     On  The  floor  above,  there  are  the 
study  rooms  and  sitting  rooms  of  the  pupils,  the  public  parlor  and 
office  and  the  apartments  of  the  principal.     On  the  third  floor  are 
the  hospitals  and   dispensary,  the  lodging  rooms  for  the  younger    I 
pupils,  the  apartments  for  the  steward,  matron,  and  other  resident    ' 
officers.     The  fourth  and  fifth  stories  are  occupied  as  dormitories.    • 
The  building  is  heated  with  steam  and  lighted  with  gas.     The  air    [ 
is  brought  in  from  the  cellar  over  heated  coils,  through  flues,  into 
all  the  apartments.     The  slops  from  the  kitchen,  the  soap  suds  from 
the  wash-house,   and  the  drippings  from  the  bathing  rooms  and 
sinks,  unavoidably  escape  more  or  less  and  run  into  the  cellar  on 
the  heated  pipes  ;  thus  dampening  and  vitiating  the  atmosphere  as 
it  passes  up  into  the  apartments  above.     The  clothes  are  boiled  by 
steam  in  open  tubs  in  the   wash-house   and   dried   on   racks  over 
heated  coils  in  the  drying  room.     The  steam  and  vapor  arising  from 
these  operations  penetrate  the  rooms  above,  and  keep  them  damp 
and   renders  them   unwholesome   and  often  uncomfortable.     The 
kitchen  and  bakery  are  situated  in  the  basement  of  the  main  centre 
building,  and  are  in  direct  communication  by  stairways,  flues  and 
other  openings,  with  the  apartments  above,  so  that  the  effluvia  j 
arising  from  the  operation  almost  constantly  carried  on  in  them, 
extend  often  to  the  fifth  story.     No  inmate  has  need  ordinarily  to 
go  to  the  kitchen  to  find  out  what  is  being  cooked.     Usually  a  per- 
son can  tell  whether  they   are  cooking  fish,  boiling  cabbage,  or 


19 

roasting  coffee  without  thk  trouble.  This  is  very  unpleasant,  and 
has  been  frequently  noticed  and  remarked  upon  by  visitors.  Then 
there  is  the  heat  from  the  bakery,  kitchen,  and  laundry,  though  by 
itself  not  objectionable  in  cold  weather,  yet  mixed  as  it  usually  is 
with  the  vitiated  atmosphere  of  these  apartments,  is  often  offensive, 
and  in  warm  weather  sometimes  renders  the  apartments  above 
almost  unfit  to  be  occupied.  The  hospital  for  the  boys  is  above  the 
wash-house,  and  the  hospital  for  the  girls  over  the  ironing  room. 
Then  again  all  these  apartments  for  laundry  and  cullinary  purposes 
are  entirely  two  contracted  to  allow  the  proper  performance  of 
these  operations  for  the  large  number  of  inmates. 

But  some  may  imagine  that  these  inconveniences  result  from  de- 
fects in  the  general  plan  of  the  buildings,  or  the  arrangement  of  the 
apartments.  This  is  not  the  case.  The  general  plan  is  a  good 
one ;  it  would  be  difficult  to  improve  upon  it,  and  the  present  use 
of  the  apartments  is,  it  is  believed,  the  best  that  could  be  made 
under  the  circumstances.  No  re-arrangement,  without  additional 
room  would  relieve  them  of  their  inconveniences. 

The  original  plan  of  the  Institution  contemplated  another  build- 
ing in  the  rear  of  the  main  edifice,  for  most  of  these  operations  now 
so  inconveniently  carried  on  in  the  basement  of  the  present  one. 
These  rooms  were  not  intended  for  and  are  not  suitable  for  the 
purposes  for  which  they  are  used.  When  the  school  was  small 
these  i^iconveniences  were  not  so  much  felt. 

Besides  every  foot  of  space  in  the  basement  of  the  present  build- 
ing is  needed  for  other  purposes.  The  present  dining  room  would 
make,  just  what  is  wanted,  an  excellent  \vork  room  for  the  girls. 
The  rooms  now  occupied  by  the  laundry,  store  rooms  and  kitchen, 
are  what  are  needed  for  lodging  rooms  for  the  domestics  and  labor- 
ers in  the  employ  of  the  Institution,  who  are  now  by  no  means 
properly  accommodated  in  this  respect.  By  the  proposed  extension 
and  change,  there  would  be  no  loss  or  waste  of  room,  but  a  gain  in 
every  w^ay. 

It  is  proposed  therefore  to  erect  in  accordance  with  the  original 
plan,  a  three  story  building  in  the  rear  of  the  main  edifice  betw^een 
that  and  the  chapel  building,  and  connect  it  with  each,  on  the  sec- 
ond and  third  stories,  by  covered  corridors.  The  general  plan  of 
the  addition  is  shown  in  connection  with  the  present  buildings  on 
the  accompanying  lithographic  plat.  Drawings  have  been  executed 
of  the  different  stories  aud  sections,  by  a  competent  Architect,  on  a 


20 

scale  sufficiently  large  to  show  at  a  glance  the  extent  and  character 
of  the  contemplated  improvement.  Much  pains  have  been  taken 
to  secure  as  many  advantages  as  possible,  consistent  with  a  proper 
economy  and  the  present  and  prospective  wants  of  the  Institution, 
The  plans  have  been  submitted  to  the  repeated  revision  of  the 
Trustees,  and  Have  been  finally  adopted  as  their  mature  judgement 
of  what  is  necessary  in  the  premises;  and  are  ordered  to  be  pre- 
sented to  the  Legislature  for  their  consideration  and  approval. 

It  is  proposed  in  the  plan  to  place  the  kitchen,  bakery,  laundry 
and  store  rooms  on  the  basement  floor,  but  have  them  so  provided 
with  flues  as  to  convey  away  through  the  smoke  stack  the  vapor^ 
vitiated  atmosphere,  and  surplus  heat  of  these  apartments,  instead 
of  allowing  them  to  diffuse  themselves,  as  they  do  in  the  present 
arrangement,  throughout  the  apartments  above.  The  dining  hall 
will  be  located  on  the  second  floor,  in  the  central  part  of  the  structure^ 
on  the  same  level  with  the  main  story  of  the  present  building,  in 
immediate  connection  with  the  kitchen  and  bakery,  and  in  easy 
and  convenient  access  for  the  inmates  to  and  from  all  parts  of  the 
building. 

On  the  next  floor  above  the  dining  room,  in  the  centre  will  be 
located  the  dispensary  and  consultation  rooms,  and  on  the  north 
side  of  this  will  be  the  hospital  for  the  girls,  and  on  the  south  side 
a  similar  one  for  the  boys.  North  and  south  of  the  hospital  roomsy 
but  entirely  separated  from  them  and  each  other,  will  be  located 
dormitories  for  the  girls  and  boys  respectively. 

We  congratulate  the  citizens  of  the  State  that  the  original  plan 
of  the  Institution  is  such  as  to  admit  of  the  proposed  enlargement 
without  any  alteration  or  damage  to  the  present  structure.  In  this, 
Indiana  is  more  fortunate  than  some  of  her  sister  States.  For  ex- 
.  ample,  Ohio,  after  putting  up  buildings  at  great  cost,  and  enlarging 
and  remodeling  them  from  time  to  time,  as  the  population  in- 
creased, has  finally  been  compelled  to  pull  the  whole  down  and  re. 
build  from  the  foundation,  at  an  expense  of  over  six  hundred  thou- 
sand dollars.  New  York  State  has  had  a  similar  experience.  Our 
present  buildings  cost  only  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand 
dollars.  The  plan  is  such  that  not  a  dollar  of  this  will  be  lost  in 
alterations.  The  additional  expense  will  be  only  for  the  additional 
buildings,  and  when  completed  the  structure  will  constitute  one 
complete  and  harmonious  whole,  unsurpassed  for  convenience  and 
adaptation  to  the  purposes  of  the  Institution,  by  any  other  in  the 


21 

♦ceiintry.  The  ultimate  cost  of  the  whole  of  our  buildings  when 
finished  as  proposed,  will  not  exceed  the  amount  expended  in  the 
States  mentioned  for  the  buildings  abandoned,  and  not  above  one- 
third  the  amount  which  each  has  spent  in  the  erection  of  new  ones. 
But  they  have  now  model  establishments,  each  of  them  large 
enough  to  accommodate  from  four  to  five  hundred  pupils.  Our 
plans  contemplate  accommodations  for  three  hundred,  which,  if  not 
all  needed  immediately,  will  be  in  a  few  years. 

The  Architect  emyloyed  for  the  purpose  has  made  out  a  careful 
estimate, of  the  probable  cost  of  the  proposed  improvement.  We 
have  examined  bis  estimate  item  by  item,  and  believe  it  to  be  low, 
but  sufficient  to  complete  the  whole  in  a  proper  and  substantial 
manner.  He  estimates  the  aggregate  cost  at  forty-two  thousand 
five  hundred  dollars  (842,500.)  The  drawings  and  estimates  have 
been  j)repared  with  great  care,  and  are  ready  to  be  presented  to  the 
Legislature  whenever  the  matter  shall  be  taken  up  in  that  body  for 
consideration. 

Believing  therefore  the  improvement  to  be  of  prime  and  urgent 
necessity  for  the  permanent  prosperity  and  usefulness  of  the  Insti- 
tution, and  that  it  can  be  made  at  a  comparatively  moderate  cost, 
we  commend  the  matter  to  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  members  of 
the  Legislature  and  the  citizens  of  the  State,  with  the  hope  that 
the  application  will  meet  with  a  ready  and  favorable  response  from 
our  representatives  by  the  appropriation  of  the  necessary  funds. 

METIIODS    OF    INSTRUCTION. 

At  the  close  of  last  saesion,  it  will  be  remembered  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Boardj  we  recommended  that  more  special  instruction 
should  be  given  in  articulation  and  reading,  from  the  lips,  to  such 
of  the  pupils  as  could  be  benefited  by  such  training.  At  the 
meeting  in  July  last,  wc  were  authorized  to  form  one  or  more 
classes  for  this  purpose.  We  had  hoped  to  organize  one  class 
at  the  opening  of  this  session,  but  have  been  disappointed  in 
securing  a  teacher  for  this  special  service.  In  the  meantime,  as 
lias  been  the  case  heretofore,  those  pupils  who  are  only  partially 
deaf,  and  those  who  had  lost  their  hearing  after  they  had  learned 
to  speak,  and  who  retain  in  any  measure  the  power  of  articulation, 
iiave  been  put  in  the  regular  classes  under  speaking  teachers,  to  be 
:trained  in  the  use  of  articulate  speech.     Our  purpose  in  this  has 


22 

been  mainly  to  retain  and  improve  the  power  of  speech  which  they 
possess.  We  consider  articulation  and  lip  reading  mere  accom- 
plishments, practicable  in  some  measure  in  most  cases,  and  desira- 
ble in  all  in  which  it  can  be  had  without  the  sacrifice  of  greater 
interests.  Mere  mechanical  articulation  is  not  education  anymore 
than  mechanical  writing,  and  in  a  large  majority  of  the  deaf  and 
dumb  it  cannot  be  obtained  in  any  useful  degree,  except  at  the 
sacrifice  of  the  more  important  intellectual  and  moral  training 
which  they  need.  There  [are  in  this  Institution,  as  there  are  in  all 
others  of  the  kind,  a  considerable  number  of  semi-deaf  persons 
and  semi-mutes,  who  possess  more  or  less  perfectly  the  faculty  of 
speech.  This  ought  to  be  retained  and  cultivated.  The  change 
proposed  is  to  separate  these  pupils  from  the  others,  and  form 
them  into  classes  for  special  instruction  in  this  accomplishment* 
It  is  not  intended  to  change  the  basis  of  our  system  of  instruction 
at  all,  but  to  do  in  a  better  manner  v/hat  we  admit  w^e  have  done 
imperfectly  heretofore. 

We  have  no  sympathy  with  the  theory  so  urgently  put  forward 
in  Massachusetts,  of  late  years,  by  a  few  inflaential  gentlemen,  by 
which  articulation  is  made  the  basis  of  instruction,  and  the  lan- 
guage of  natural  signs  is  repudiated  as  injurious.  Articulation 
never  can  become  the  chief  instrument  of  instruction  with  the 
mass -of  the  deaf  and  dumb,  much  less  the  sole  instrument.  The 
change  proposed  is  a  radical  one.  The  discussions  on  the  subject 
have  been  able  and  earnest  for  several  years  past.  We  have  watched 
them  with  much  interest,  but  have  taken  little  part  in  them.  The 
system  of  instruction  pursued  in  this  Institution  was  derived  from 
the  American  Asjlum  at  Hartford,  and  is  in  all  essential  respects  the 
same  as  pursued  there  and  in  the  American  institutions  generally. 

We  therefore  deem  it  not  inappropriate,  on  the  present  occasion^ 
to  submit  a  few  remarks,  not  in  the  way  of  controversy,  but  in  ex- 
planation of  our  views  on  this  subject  of  methods  of  instruction. 

Mutes  are  dumb,  because  they  are  deaf,  and  the  want  of  hearing 
must  be  supplied  by  the  other  senses,  and  principally  through  the 
organ  of  sight.  As  in  the  case  of  the  blind,  the  want  of  sight 
must  be  supplied  by  hearing,  smell,  touch  and  taste,  so  the 
wants  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  must  be  supplied  by  the  senses  of  which 
they  remain  possessed.  But  the  privation  of  sight  in  the  blind 
does  not  divest  them  of  the  power  of  articulate  speech ;  wiiereas- 
the  want  of  hearing  in  the  deaf  and  dumb  cuts  them  off  entirely 


23 

from  the  use  of  either  the  vocal  or  \vTitten  language  of  those 
around  them.  The  blind  have  hearing,  and  from  infancy  the  fac- 
ulty of  speech,  and  possessing  this  power,  they  have  a  medium  of 
communication  with  others,  and  a  door  of  access  to  all  knowledge. 
Hence  many  blind  persons  starting  with  this  advantage,  and  with 
nothing  more  than  the  ordinnvy  means  of  instruction,  have  them- 
selves become  well  educated ;  Vv^hile  the  deaf  mute,  by  his  double 
misfortune,  of  the  want  of  hearing  and  speech,  is  shut  out,  in  the 
midst  of  society,  from  all  communication  with  his  fellow  beings, 
and  imprisoned  with  chains  of  ignorance  from  which  it  is  impossi- 
ble for  him,  unaided,  to  escape.  Hence  it  is  that  the  history  of  the 
world  does  not  present  us  with  a  single  instance  of  an  individual 
born  deaf,  who  was  not  also  naturally  dumb,  and  who,  uninstructed 
by  others,  ever  attained  unto  the  faculty  of  speech,  however  favor- 
able his  opportunities  of  imitation  or  association  might  otherwise 
have  been. 

The  misfortune,  therefore,  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  is  not  simpiv 
their  deprivation  of  hearing  and  the  consequent  want  of  the  power 
of  speech,  bat  their  entire  destitution  of  any  language  understood 
by  other  persons  by  which  they  can  make  known  their  thoughts 
and  wishes  to  them,  or  through  which  others  can  communicate 
with  them.  They  think,  and  are  conscious  of  the  exercises  of  the 
mind,  but  they  have  no  words  with  which  to  express  their  ideas 
In  order  to  instruct  them  at  all  a  medium  of  communication  must 
be  established,  between  them  and  their  teacher,  v/hich  can  be  mu- 
tually understood.  Ours  is  a  foreign  language  to  them,  and  whether 
written,  printed  or  spoken,  expresses  no  more  to  them  than  so  much 
Latin  or  Greek  would  to  one  who  had  never  studied  these  tongues. 
What  then  do  they  possess  as  a  foundation  upon  which  to  begin 
to  build  a  system  of  instruction?  Have  they  anything  which  we 
can  lay  hold  of  as  a  medium  of  thought,  or  a  means  of  culture? 
The  answer  throughout  many  centuries  was  uniformly  that  there 
was  nothing,  that  their  case  was  hopeless.  To  the  ancients  the 
idea  of  the  restoration  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  to  society  by  educa- 
tion never  seemed  to  have  occurred.  It  was  reserved  to  men  of 
modern  times  to  conceive  the  possibility  of  such  a  thing,  and  to  in- 
vent the  methods  of  accomplishing  it. 

The  deaf  and  dumb,  in  their  natural  condition,  have,  in  common 
with  others,  all  the  vocal  organs,  and  can  utter  sounds  by  the 
mouth,  and  by  observing  the  positions  and  motions  of  the  vocal 


24 

organs  in  others  as  they  talk,  they  can  imitate  them.  These  mo- 
tions and  positions  of  the  vocal  organs,  addressed  to  the  eye  of  the 
deaf  mute,  and  reproduced  by  him,  become  from  usage  the  con- 
ventional signs  of  sounds,  words  and  ideas, 

^.  In  these  facts  oriijinated  the  first  eflorts  to  instruct  the  deaf  and 
dumb.  On  them  is  founded  the  system  of  articulation.  We  trace 
the  history  of  this  method  of  instruction  to  Spain,  where,  in  all 
probability,  it  originated  about  three  hundred  years  ago.  The  first 
really  successful  effort  of  this  kind  of  which  we  have  any  authentic 
account,  was  made  by  Pedro  Ponce  de  Leon,  a  citizen  of  that 
country,  in  the  latter  part  of  the  sixteenth  century.  His  country- 
man and  successor  was  Juan  Pablo  Bonet,  who  in  1620  published 
an  account  of  this  method  entitled  the  "Art  of  teaching  the  deaf  to 
speak."  He  taught  that  the  want  of  hearing  in  the  deaf  and  dumb 
must  be  supplied  by  sight;  that  instruction  in  their  case  must  be 
addressed  to  and  apprehended  through  the  eye,  and  that  by  ob- 
serving the  motions  and  positions  of  the  vocal  organs,  the  deaf  and 
dumb  learned  to  pronounce  words,  and  to  read  and  understand 
written  language.  Neither  Ponce  nor  Bonet  established  any 
schools ;  they  each  taught  privately  only  a  few  pupils,  the  children 
of  the  wealthy,  and  after  the  death  of  the  latter  the  art  fell  into 
disuse  in  that  country.  But  the  seed  sown  there,  although  it  lay 
dormant  for  many  years,  was  afterwards  transplanted  to  the  prin- 
cipal countries  of  Europe.  This  treatise  of  Bonet  was  known  to 
Wallis  of  Ensfland,  Pereire  of  France  and  Amman  of  Germciny. 
and  was  used  by  them  in  giving  instruction  to  the  deaf  and  dumb. 
Up  to  the  middle  of  the  eighteenth  century  nearly  every  one  who 
attempted  to  teach  the  deaf  and  dumb  made  this  theory  the  basis 
of  his  system.  Pereire  taught  an  articulating  school  in  Paris  in 
1690.  In  England  Wallis,  Buhver,  Holder  and  Braidwood  taught 
xnvo  voce,  Conrad  Amman,  a  Swiss  physicin,  taught,  as  early  as 
1669,  at  Haarlam,  a  girl,  deaf  and  dumb  from  birth,  to  speak.  In 
Germany  Vair  Hilman,  Kerger,  Lasius,  Raphel,  Arnolde  and 
Heinicke,  all  taught  in  this  way.  In  fact,  up  to  the  time  of  De  T 
Epee,  there  was  not  a  single  teacher  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  of  any 
note  who  did  not  found  his  methods  on  articulation,  except  Dal- 
garno  of  Oxford,  who  based  his  theory  of  instruction  upon  the 
manuel  alpiiabet,  making  the  lingers  the  substitute  of  the  tongue. 
But  while  these  early  teachers  made  articulation  and  reading  on 
the  lips  paramount,  nearly  all  of  them  admitted  the  use  of  dactyl- 


25 

ology,  pantomimic  and  natural  ^igns.  Samuel  Heinicke,the  founder 
of  the  iir.-t  school  of  the  kind  in  Germany,  and  by  far  the  most  dis- 
tinguished of  the  early  teachers  in  that  country,  was  a  notable  ex- 
ception. He  said,  in  1782,  that  ^'- all  methods  other  than  hh  own 
(that  of  ariiculation)  were  useless  and  pernicious^  and  no  less  than 
delusive  folly,  fraud  and  nonsense^  But  these  extreme  views  have 
long  since  been  abandoned  by  nearly  every  intelligent  teacher  in 
that  country  as  well  as  in  most  others.  It  is  the  more  surprising 
to  us,  therefore,  that  we  find  them  taken  up  and  adopted  in  the  new 
school  recently  established  at  Northampton,  in  Massachusetts. 
The  only  other  instance  of  which  we  have  any  knowledge  is  that 
of  the  school  in  Roterdam.  The  Principal  of  that  Institution,  Mr. 
Hirch,  says  in  a  recent  publication,  that  '^  the  act  of  seeing-  or  com- 
prehending, and  of  speaking,  must  be  the  exclusive  principle  of  in- 
struction, and  -neither  the  palpable  alphabet  nor  the  language  af  signs 
can  have  any  connection  with  it.^^  These  teachers  hold  that  articu- 
lation is  the  exclusive  mode  of  instructing  the  deaf  and  dumb. 
Many  other  advocates  of  articulation,  however,  while  they  claim 
the  preeminence  for  tb.cir  method,  admit  the  use  of  natural  signs. 

But  is  that  system  of  instruction  whose  chief  characteristic  is 
articulation  move  efficient  than  any  otljer? 

Now  there  is  another  method  radically  difierent,  and  extensively 
practiced  in  this  country  and  in  Europe.  It  consists  in  the  use  of 
the  language  of  signs  as  the  chief  instrument  of  instruction.  With- 
out attempting  any  extended  analysis  of  this  method,  we  will  briefly 
illustrate  its  prominent  features. 

The  teacher,  looking  at  the  young  deaf  and  dumb  child,  finds 
him  wholly  ignorant  of  every  part  of  that  system  of  words  which 
the  ingenuity  of  man  has  invented  for  the  communication  of 
thought,  and  of  all  those  written  characters  which  are  the  repre- 
sentatives of  articulate  sounds,  and  elements  of  written  words. 
He  also  perceives  that  he  has  a  voice,  and  can  utter  sounds  by  his 
mouth,  but,  being  deaf,  he  cannot  control  his  voice.  He  observes 
further,  and  he  sees  him  making  signs  expressive  of  his  thoughts 
and  feelings,  of  all  his  ideas  of  persons,  things,  and  events  with 
which  he  is  familiar.  The  teacher  sees  at  once  that  these  motions 
are  significant  and  easy  of  interpretation.  He  becomes  the  pupil, 
and  the  pupil  the  teacher.  They  find  that  they  can  make  them- 
selves mutually  understood  on  many  subjects;  and  thus  a  means 
of  communication  is  established  between  them.     This  medium  is 


26 

at  first  imperfect,  it  is  true,  but  it  is  capable  of  indefinite  improve- 
ment, aud  is  found  after  a  few  days  experience,  much  more  efficient 
than  articulation  is  after  months,  and  sometimes  years,  of  weari- 
some effort. 

The  teacher  lays  hold  of  these  natural  signs  of  the  child,  whether 
they  be  the  motions  of  his  countenance,  or  the  gestures  of  the 
members  of  his  body:  he  modifies  them,  he  improves  them,  he 
systematizes  them,  and  forms  them  into  a  language,  which  he 
learns  and  he  teaches  to  the  child.  The  child's  education  is  begun 
at  once.  Thus  a  vehicle  of  thought  is  formed,  an  instrument  of 
instruction  is  made,  which,  in  the  hands  of  skillful  and  experienced 
teachers,  is  most  efHcient  for  all  the  purposes  of  education,  whether 
it  be  considered  as  a  means  for  the  development  of  the  mind  of  the 
pupil,  or  as  a  medium  of  thought  through  which  to  convey  to  him 
all  necessary  knowledge,  and  especially  as  a  means  of  communi- 
cating to  him  a  knowledge  of  the  language  of  those  around  him. 

Thus,  in  few  words,  is  this  system  formed.  It  is  formed  on  the 
natural  language  of  signs,  as  its  fundamental  principle.  Signs  are 
used,  not  as  an  end.  but  as  a  means  to  an  end.  The  great  end 
proposed  in  the  cultivation  of  the  intellectual  and  moral  powers  of 
the  individual  in  such  a  manner  as  shall  render  him  a  useful  mem- 
ber of  society,  and  lead  him,  by  the  faithful  discharge  of  all  his 
duties,  to  prepare  for,  and  to  aspire  to  the  happiness  which  awaits 
the  good  in  a  future  world.  That  this  micthod  is  capable  of  ac- 
complishing this  purpose  for  the  mass  of  the  deaf  and  dumb,  better 
than  any  yet  proposed,  we  have  not  a  shadow  of  doubt.  Natural 
signs  are  the  only  instruments  of  thought  the  deaf-mute  has  w^hen 
brought  to  the  teacher,  and  are  much  more  intelligible  and  more 
easily  learned  and  used  than  the  artificial,  arbitrary  signs  of  the 
positions  and  motions  of  the  vocal  organs.  The  vocal  signs  are 
the  representatives  of  sounds,  and  the  pupil  must  master  the  vocal- 
ization of  sound  before  he  can  have  an  instrument  of  thought ; 
whereas  in  the  other  case  natural  signs  are  always  significant,  and 
the  immediate  representatives  of  ideas  and  things,  as  well  as  of 
words  whether  spoken  or  written. 

The  system  of  instruction  by  natural  signs,  originated  in  France 
about  the  year  1760,  and  therefore  it  is  called  the  French  system. 
It  was  introduced  into  this  country  by  Mr.  Gallaudet  and  Mr. 
Clerc,  at  the  commencement  of  the  American  Asylum  in  1817. 
As  developed  and  improved  in  that  Institution,  it  has  been  dif- 


27 

fused  throughout  the  Union,  and  is  now  practised  in  all  ihe  Amer- 
ican Institution?  but  the  Clark  Institute  in  Massachusetts. 

The  question  is  not — Can  semi-mutes  and  semi-deaf  persons  be 
taught  by  articulation?  Every  one  knows  that  most  of  them  can. 
Nor  is  it — Can  congenitally  deaf  persons  be  taught  to  speak?  For 
every  teacher  of  experience  knows  that  such  persons,  of  good  intel- 
lect and  perfect  vocal  organs  can  be  trained  to  a  mechanical  pro- 
nunciation of  words,  and  in  rare  instances,  to  a  free  u.-e  of  vocal 
language.  I>ut  the  practical  question  is,  which  is  the  best  means 
for  the  mass  of  the  deaf  and  dumb?  tVhich  is  capable  of  ac- 
complishing the  greatest  good  to  the  greatest  number? 

This  question  has  been  ably  dir^cusscd  for  many  years,  both  in 
this  country  and  in  Europe.  We  have  the  Hon.  Horace  Mann's 
report  made  in  1844,  to  the  Board  of  Education  in  Massachusetts, 
in  which  he  eulogises  the  German  method  of  articulation,  and  de- 
preciates the  American  system.  But  we  have  complete  refutation 
of  his  statements  in  the  reports  of  Messrs.  Weld  and  Day,  who 
visited  most  of  the  principal  schools  of  this  class,  soon  after.  We 
have  also  Dr.  H.  P.  Peet's  report  of  a  tour  made  ten  years  later,  to 
the  most  celebrated  schools  in  Great  Britain,  France  and  Ger- 
many. We  have  the  report  of  the  discussion  between  Dr.  S.  H. 
Howe,  F.  B.  Sanborn,  Esq.,  and  G.  G.  Hubbard,  Esq.,  in  favor  of 
articulation,  and  Rev.  Collins  Stone,  W.  W.  Turner,  Esq.,  Calvin 
Day,  Esq.,  and  Hon.  H.  A.  Stevens,  in  favor  of  the  American 
System  of  Instruction,  before  the  Joint  Special  Committee  of  the 
Legislature  of  Massachusetts  at  the  Session  of  1887.  We  have 
also  the  able  report  of  E.  M.  Gallaudet,  President  of  the  National 
Deaf  Mate  College  at  Washington  City,  of  the  facts  elicited  by 
him  in  a  careful  inspection  of  the  methods  pursued  in  all  the  prom- 
inent schools  in  Great  Britain,  France,  Germany,  Belgium,  Swit- 
zerland, Italy,  Russia,  Sweden  and  Holland.  There  are  also  ac- 
cessible to  any  one  who  wishes  to  inform  himself  upon  this  subject, 
a  great  many  other  publications.  No  subject  relating  to  Educa- 
tion has  been  more  thoroughly  discussed  among  educated  and  phi- 
lanthropic men  than  this.  The  tendency  of  these  discussions  has 
been  greatly  to  promote  the  education  of  this  class  of  persons, 
and  to  bring  about  a  greater  unanimity  of  feeling  and  concert  of 
action. 

We  adopt  the  resolutions,  passed  by  the  National  Convention 
of  Superintendents  and  Principals  of  American  Institutions,  held 


28 

last  May  in  Washington,  as  expressing  our  sentiments  on  this  sub- 
ject.    They  are  as  follows,  to-wit : 

^'■Resolved,  That  the  American  system  of  deaf  mute  education, 
as  practiced  and  developed  in  the  institutions  of  this  country  for 
the  last  fifty  years,  commends  itself  by  the  best  of  all  tests — that 
of  prolonged,  careful,  and  successful  experiment — as  in  a  pre-emi- 
nent degree  adapted  to  relieve  the  peculiar  misfortune  of  deaf 
mutes  as  a  class,  and  restore  them  to  the  blessings  of  society. 

^'Resolved,  That  in  the  opinion  of  this  Conference,  it  is  the  duty 
of  all  institutions  for  the  education  of  the  deaf  and  dumb,  to  pro- 
vide adequate  means  for  imparting  instruction  in  articulation  and 
in  lip  reading,  to  such  of  their  pupils  as  may  be  able  to  engage 
with  profit  in  exercises  of  this  nature. 

^'Resolved.  That  while  in  our  judgment  it  is  desirable  to  give 
semi-mutes  and  semi  deaf  children  every  facility  for  retaining  and 
improving  any  power  of  articulate  speech  which  they  may  possess, 
it  is  not  profitable,  except  in  promising  cases  discovered  after  fair 
experiment,  to  teach  congenital  mutes  articulation. 

^'Resolved,  That  to  attain  success  in  this  department  of  instruc- 
tion, an  added  force  of  instructors  will  be  necessary,  and  the  Con- 
vention hereby  recommends  to  boards  of  directors  of  institutions  for 
the  deaf  and  dumb  in  this  country,  that  speed}?-  measures  be  taken 
to  provide  the  funds  needed  for  the  prosecution  of  this  work." 

Of  the  same  tenor  are  the  conclusions  reached  by  the  joint  spe- 
cial committee  of  the  Legislature  of  Massachusetts,  in  their  report 
to  that  body,  after  having  heard,  through  many  sessions,  the  dis- 
cussion of  the  several  parties  by  their  ablest  men. 

Among  the  conclusions  at  which  they  arrived,  are  the  following: 

"  The  sign  language  and  manual  alphabet  can  be  taught  to  all 
classes  of  deaf  persons  and  deaf  mutes — as  the  most  elfectual 
means  of  communicating  information  to  a  large  majority  of  such 
persons. 

''  Your  committee  believe  that  to  a  large  majority  of  those  con- 
genitally  deaf,  or  who  lose  their  hearing  in  infancy,  articulation 
can  not  be  successfully  taught ;  but  that  it  can  be  to  a  majority 
of  semi-mutes  and  semi  deaf  persons." 

The  British  institutions,  though  originally  based  upon  articula- 
tion as  a  medium  of  instruction,  now,  with  one  exception,  give  the 
language  of  signs  the  preference.  President  Gallaudet's  report 
furnishes  us  with  some  valuable  testimony  on  this  point.  We 
make  the  following  extracts  from  his  report.  We  cite  first  the 
testimony  of  Mr.  Charles  Baker,  the  distinguished  Principal  of  the 
Doncaster  Institution,  of  whom  Mr.  G.  savs ; 


29 

"  The  opinion  of  Prof.  Baker,  on  any  subject  relating  to  tiie  in- 
stiuction  of  the  deaf  and  dumb,  is  entilkd  to  great  weight,  he 
having  had  an  experience  of  nearly  forty  years  in  the  profession. 

"  Though  there  will  be  found  in  every  institution  a  few  pupils^ 
especially  among  those  who  have  become  deaf  after  learning  to 
speak,  whose  improvement  repays  the  care  of  a  teacher  (and  to 
such  I  would  afibrd  every  facility  for  recovering  the  lost  faculty), 
the  success  hitherto  attendant  on  the  efforts  to  teach  articulation  to 
the  totally  deaf  is  by  no  means  flattering,  and  I  do  not  believe 
there  is  one  institution  in  our  country  which  can  produce  a  dozen 
pupils  whose  articulation  could  be  understood  by  indifierent  audi- 
tors. I  must  therefore  decide  against  giving  up  the  time  now  be- 
stowed on  the  acquisition  of  language  and  useful  knowledge  by 
my  pupils,  to  devote  it,  to  the  specious  acquirement  of  articula- 
tion/'—Pages  12,  13. 

Of  the  Birmingham  Institution  ]\Ir.  Gallaudet  says: 

"  This  is  one  of  the  oldest  schools  for  the  deaf  and  dumb  in 
Great  Britain,  having  been  in  operation  since  eighteen  hundred  and 
twelve,  and  novr  containin£2:  about  one  hundred  and  twenty  pupils. 
The  present  head  master,  Mr.  Arthur  Hopper,  has  visited  many  of 
the  continental  schools,  examining  especially  those  in  which  articu- 
lation is  accorded  a  prominent  place,  and  he  is  inclined  to  coincide, 
with  Prof.  Baker's  view,  that  the  results  of  the  labor  of  teaching 
the  great  body  of  deaf  mutes  artificial  speech  and  reading  from 
the  lips  of  others,  are  not  of  sufficient  practical  benefit  to  compen- 
sate for  the  necessary  outlay  of  time  and  money.  Mr.  Hopper  is 
of  the  opinion  that  in  cases  of  semi-mutes  and  semi-deaf  persons, 
it  is  the  duty  of  instructors  to  see  that  all  possible  means  are  taken 
to  retain  and  improve  what  speech  is  possessed  by  the  pupils." 

Of  the  same  import  is  the  testimony  of  Mr.  Buxton,  the  Princi- 
pal of  the  Liverpool  Institution. 

"Articulation  was  formerly  taught  in  the  Liverpool  School  to  a 
greater  extent  than  at  present.  Now  only  the  semi-deaf  and  the 
semi-mutes  are  instructed  in  artificial  speech  and  lip  reading.  Mr, 
Buxton  mentioned  that  many  cases  had  arisen  in  his  experience 
where  parents  of  his  pupils  particularly  requested  that  their  children 
should  not  be  taught  articulation.  The  reason  for  this  is  founded 
111  the  fact  that  the  artificially  acquired  utterances  of  the  deaf  are 
generally  monotonous  and  oftentimes  disagreeable  ;  so  unpleasant, 
evidently,  in  certain  cases  as  to  lead  j^arents  of  uneducated  mutes, 
to  express  the  desire  above  referred  to."     P.  15. 

Mr.  Anderson  of  the  Glascow  Institution  says  that, 

"The  experience  of  nearly  half  a  century  of  personal  instruction 
had  led  him  to  abondon  all  eftbrts  at  articulation  save  to  those  to 


30 

whom  I  have  applied  the  term  of  semi-deaf  and  semi-mute.  Ar- 
ticalation  was  at  one  time  taught  in  this  institution  to  such  of  the 
pupils  as  had  suitable  voice:  but  tlie  practice  has  for  many  years 
been  discontinued.  The  proportion  of  pupils  who  were  taught  ar- 
ticulation never  exceeded  ten  per  cent,  of  the  whole  number  in  the 
institution.  The  practice  of  teaching  articulation  was  given  up  in 
consequence  of  the  undue  time  aiid  labor  it  entailed,  and  which 
could  be  more  profitably  employed  in  cultivating  the  intellect  of  the 
pupils.  Although,  as  a  general  rule  I  would  discourage  the  use  of 
articulation  in  the  case  of  all  children  who  have  been  born  deaf  I 
am  disposed  to  make  an  exception  in  favor  of  those  who  have  be- 
come deaf  in  early  life,  some  of  whom  in  this  institution,  have 
learned  to  speak  distinctly,  and  to  understand  expressions  from  the 
lips  of  others  than  their  teachers.  On  looking  back  upon  an  ex- 
perience of  forty-one  years  as  a  teacher  of  the  deaf  and  dumb,  I 
freely  confess  that  the  lew  successful  instances  of  articulation  by 
deaf  mutes  which  I  have  witnessed  in  this  and  other  countries  were 
very  inadequate  to  the  time  and  pains  bestowed  upon  them." 

The  testimony  at  Manchester,  at  Belfast,  and  at  Dublin,  were  of 
the  same  import  v*dth  the  foregoing.  The  teachers  quoted,  are 
among  the  oldest  and  ablest  of  the  profession  in  the  v/orld.  On 
this  testimony  Mr.  Gallaudet  very  appropriately  remarks, 

'•The  testimony  of  such  experienced  instructors  as  those  now  con- 
ducting the  eight  schools  declaring  against  articulation,  coupled 
with  the  consideration  that  in  a  majority  of  them,  it  has  been  suc- 
cessfully taught,  is  entitled  to  great  weight,  while  the  fact  that  it  is 
where  the  Ens^lish  lanojuasre  is  spoken  that  such  stroni?  m-ound  is 
taken,  should  not  be  lost  sight  of  by  Americans." 

His  testimony  respecting  the  opitiions  and  practices  of  the  most 
celebrated  teachers  in  the  institutions  on  the  continent  of  Europe, 
confirms  the  principles  on  which  our  system  of  instruction  is  founded, 
and  is  conducted.  He  furnishes  us  with  much  valuable  informa- 
tion on  this  point,  which,  did  space  permit,  we  would  like  to  pre- 
sent. We  will  content  ourselves  with  giving  his  final  conclusions 
on  this  subject, 

"  It  is  hardly  needful  for  me  to  say,  after  what  has  been  said  in 
this  Report,  that  nothing  in  my  foreign  investigations  has  led  me 
to  question  the  character  of  the  foundation  on  which  the  system  of 
instruction  pursued  in  our  American  Institutions  is-  based.  The 
edifice  is  built  on  the  rock  of  sound  philosophy ;  its  corner  stone  is 
universal  applicability;  its  materials  are  cemented  by  consistency 
and  success,  while  for  its  crowning  beauty  it  has  a  dome  of  high 


31 

educational  attainment,  loftier  and  more  grand  than  can  be  seen  in 
the  nations  of  the  Old  World. 

'•It  is  plainly  evident  from  what  is  seen  in  the  articulating  schools 
of  Europe,  and  from  candid  opinions  of  the  best  instructors,  that 
oral  language  cannot,  in  the  fullest  sense  of  the  term,  be  mastered 
by  a  majority  of  deaf  mutes.  It  should  be  regarded  as  an  accom- 
plishment attainable  by  a  minority  only.  The  number  of  those 
born  deaf  who  can  acquire  oral  language  is  small,  and  their  success 
may  justly  be  attributed  to  the  possession  of  peculiar  talents  or 
gifts,  involving  almost  preternatural  quickness  of  eye  in  detecting 
the  slight  variations  in  position  of  the  vccal  organs  in  action,  and 
a  most  unusual  control  over  the  the  muscles  of  the  mouth  and 
throat"     P.  53. 

Mr.  Edward  M.  Gallaudet,  is  son  of  Rev.  Thomas  Gallaudet  de- 
ceased, the  founder  of  the  American  Asylum  at  Hartford,  and  is 
the  President  of  the  National  Deaf  Mute  College  at  Washington 
City.  He  was  commissioned  by  the  Directors  of  that  Institution 
to  proceed  to  Europe  and  inspect  the  prominent  institutions  and 
examine  carefully  into  all  the  methods  and  systems  pursued  in  the 
schools  in  that  quarter  of  the  Globe,  and  to  report  the  result  of  his 
examination  to  the  Board.  The  gratitude,  not  only  of  the  profes- 
sion, but  of  every  friend  of  the  deaf  and  dumb  in  this  country,  is  due 
to  him  and  to  the  college  which  he  represents,  for  this  able  Report. 

ESTIMATES    FOR    CURRENT    EXPENSES. 

The  seventh  section  of  the  Act  for  the  CTOvernment  of  the  Asylum 
makes  it  our  duty  to  estimate  and  report  biennially  to  the  Legisla- 
ture "the  probable  sum  necessary  to  defray  the  current  expenses 
of  the  Institution  until  the  ensuing  session  of  the  General  Assem- 
bly." The  balance  in  the  Treasury  at  this  date  will  be  sufficient 
to  defray  the  ordinary  expenses  from  this  time  to  the  first  of  March 
next,  the  usual  time  when  the  annual  appropriations  are  made. 
We  submit  as  the  result  of  our  most  careful  calculation  that,  to 
to  carry  on  the  Institution  successfully  on  its  present  basis,  there 
will  be  needed  the  annual  sum  of  forty-four  thousand  dollars,  as 
follows,  to-wit : 

During  the  year  ending  March  1,  1869: — 

For  ordinary  expenses 840,000  00 

For  repairs,  improvements  and  furnishing. . . .     4.000  00 

^44,000  00 


82 

During  the  year  ending  March  1,  1870: — 

For  ordinary  expenses 840,000  00 

For  repairs  improvements  and  famishing. . .     4,000  00 

^.44,000  00 

The  foregoing  estimates  are  based  upon  the  experience  of  past 
years,  an  intimate  knowledge  of  the  present  cost  of  living  and  the 
present  number  of  pupils  in  attendance  ;  and  are  as  low,  it  is  be- 
lieved, as  the  facts  in  the  case  will  warrant.  We  therefore  re- 
spectfully submit  this  as  the  probable  amunt  that  will  be  needed 
to  maintain  the  Institution  in  its  efficiency  the  ensuing  two  years: 

ACKOWLEDGMENTS. 

Many  of  the  pupils  are  poor  and  not  able  to  pay  the  railroad  fare 
in  coming  to  and  going  from  the  Institution,  and  we  have  been 
compelled  often  lo  ask  the  favor  of  each  of  the  railroads  running  to 
and  from  this  city  to  pass  pupils  at  half  fare,  and  sometimes  free 
of  charge.  In  all  cases  has  this  request  been  kindly  granted,  and 
for  this  great  favor  we  desire  to  express  cur  grateful  acknowledge- 
ments to  the  officers  of  such  roads. 

Our  thanks  are  especially  due  and  are  hereby  tendered  to  the 
Superintendents  of  the  Indiana  Central,  the  Indianapolis  Junction, 
the  Lafayette  and  Indianapolis,  and  the  Indianapolis  Peru  and 
Chicago  railroad  companies  for  free  passes  granted  to  the  Superin- 
tendent when  traveling  on  business  connected  with  the  institution. 

Miss  Dix,  whose  labors  in  behalf  of  the  insane,  and  open-hearted 
sympathy  with  all  forms  of  sufl'ering  humanity  have  given  her  a 
world-wide  reputation  for  benevolence,  has  generously  sent  us  ten 
dollars  as  an  evidence  of  her  continued  interest  in  the  welfare  of 
the  deaf  and  dumb,  with  the  request  that  the  donation  be  expended 
for  the  benefit  of  our  pupils. 

A  distinct  mention  of  the  newspapers  and  periodicals  gratuit- 
ously sent  to  our  pup'.ls  is  vvortliy  of  being  made.  We  can  assure 
the  editors  and  proprietors  that  these  publications  are  gratefully  re- 
ceived and  read  by  the  pupils,  and  contribute  no  little  to  their  in- 
tellectual improvement  as  well  as  their  enjoyment.  Coming,  as 
the  larger  part  of  them  do,  from  the  vicinity  of  their  homes,  they 
contain  much  local  nev/s  that  is  interesting  to  them,  as  well  a? 
much  general  intelligence  which  is  profitable  for  them  to  know, 
and  which  they  could  not  otherwise  learn  ;  they  read  with  avidity

PHYSlCIAiN'S  REPORT. 


■m 
To  the  Board  of  Trustees : 

Gentlemen  : — The  health  of  the  Institution  has  been  good 
during  the  past  year,  there  having  been  but.  little  sickness  of  a  se- 
rious character  among  its  inmates.  Still,  there  are  several  defects 
of  a  sanitary  nature,  resulting  from  the  peculiar  arrangement  and 
uses  of  the  different  parts  of  the  house,  worthy  of  your  consider- 
ation. 

There  is  not  enough  sleeping  room  in  proportion  to  the  number 
of  pupils.  Children  even  more  than  adults,  require  a  full  supply  of 
pure  fresh  air,  and  they  should  not  be  crowded  in  lodging. 

The  sick  rooms  are  in  every  way  inadequate.  They  are  incon- 
veniently situated,  and  have  no  appliances  for  bathing,  or  water 
closets,  except  in  common  with  apartments  occupied  by  the  well. 
In  these  rooms  in  both  wings  together,  there  is  not  sufficient 
space  for  more  than  six  or  eight  persons,  consequently  we  some- 
times find  it  necessary  to  crowd  the  sick  and  well  indiscriminately 
together  in  ordinary  sleeping  rooms.  This  should  be  avoided  in 
future  as  it  can  have  no  other  tendency  than  to  increase  the  number, 
and  severity,  of  the  cases  of  sickness  in  the  Institution.  The  plan 
of  the  hospital  in  your  proposed  addition  to  the  buildings  is  very 
good,  and  will  entirely  obviate  the  inconveniences  mentioned. 

The  use  of  the  basement  of  the  main  buildine:  as  a  kitchen  and 
laundry  is  improper  and  should  in  some  way  be  avoided.  Tiie 
steam  and  fumes  from  cooking  and  washing  pass  up  the  stairways. 
along  the  corridors  and  permeate  the  whole  house,  which  is  not 
only  very  disagreeable,  but  unwholesome.  The  laundry  is  imme- 
diately above  the  heating  coils,  on  which  the  fluids  used  in  washing 
are  constantly  dripping,  which  in  some  degree  vitiates  the  heated 
air  passing  through  the  registers  into  the  rooms  above. 


38 

Several  other  minor  matters  of  this  character  might  be  enumer- 
ated, but  with  what  has  been  presented,  yon  will  perceive  the  ne- 
cessity of  a  rearrangement  of  the  house,  and  an  extension  of  the 
buildings  in  order  to  properly  accommodate  the  present  number  of 
inmates,  to  say  nothing  of  a  future  increase. 

In  conclusion  it  is  hardly  necessary  to  suggest  a  continuation, 
on  the  part  of  your  faithful  Superintendent,  of  that  constant  care 
heretofore  exercised  by  him  in  refei.*ence  to  wholesome  food  clean- 
liness, ventilation,  and  outdoor  exercise  for  the  pupils,  male  and 
female. 

I  am  very  respectfully  yours, 

^  P.  H.  JAMESON,  Physician. 
Inst,  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  Nov.  1st,  1868.

RULES  AND  REGULATIONS. 


FOR    THE 


ADMISSION  OF  PUPILS. 


I.  The  Instititution  is  open  to  all  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  of  the 
State  between  the  ages  of  ten  and  twenty-one  years,  for  admission 
as  pupils, /ree  of  charge  for  boarding  and  tuition,  upon  compliance 
with  the  rules.  Applicants  from  other  States  will  be  received  as 
pupils  on  the  payment,  va  advance,  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars 
a  year  for  boarding  and  tuition. 

II.  Pnpils  will  be  admitted  on  the  following  conditions;  Jst, 
The  pupil,  well  provided  with  clothes,  is  to  be  brought  to  the 
Asylum  punctually  at  the  commencement  of  each  session,  unless 
detained  at  home  by  his  or  her  sickness.  2d.  The  pupil  is  to  re- 
main in  the  school  until  the  last  Wednesday  in  June,  of  each  year. 
3d.  No  parent  or  guardian  shall  be  allowed  to  take  a  pupil  out  of  the 
school  in  session  time,  without  the  consent  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

III.  The  annual  sessions  of  the  school  commence  on  the  first 
Wednesday  after  the  lf5th  day  of  September,  and  close  on  the  last 
Wednesday  of  June.  Every  pupil  is  to  come  promptly  on  or  before 
the  first  day  of  the  session,  and  is  to  remain  ntitil  the  last  day  of  the 
same.     The  only  exceptions  alloiced  are  cases  of  sickness. 

IV.  Tlie  Institution  will  provide  for  each  State  jmpil  regularly 
admitted,  boarding,  lodging,  washing,  superintendence  of  conduct, 
manners  and  morals,  medical  attendance,  instruction,  school  bookst 
slates,  and  all  other  incidental  expenses  of  the  school  room,  without 
charge ;  but  will  not  pay  the  traveling  expyenses  of  pupils  in  coming 


5ti 

to  or  returning  from  the  Institution,  nor  supply  them  with  clothing, 
except  in  extreme  cases  of  destitution. 

V.  Those  who  are  unable  to  pay  for  the  necessary  clothing,  or 
whose  parents  neglect  to  supply  them,  it  is  made  the  duty  of  the 
Superintendent  to  furnish,  in  accordance  with  the  following  legis- 
lative enactment: 

"  That  when  the  pupils  of  the  In.^titution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb 
are  not  otherwise  supplied  with  clothing,  they  shall  be  furnished  by 
the  Superintendent,  who  shall  make  out  an  account  therefor,  in 
each  case,  against  the  respective  counties  from  which  said  pupils 
were  sent,  in  an  amount  not  exceeding  forty  dollars  per  annum  for 
every  such  pupil,  which  account  will  be  signed  by  the  Superin- 
tendent, and  attested  by  the  seal  of  the  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb,  and  the  Treasurer  of  State  shall  charge  the  account  thus 
certified,  to  the  county  from  which  the  pupil  was  sent,  and  credit 
the  amout  to  the  current  expense  fund  of  the  Indiana  Asylum  for 
the  Deaf  and  Dumb. 

"  Sec.  3.  When  such  account  shall  be  received  by  the  Treasurer 
of  the  proper  county,  to  whom  it  shall  be  immediately  sent  upon 
its  reception  by  the  Treasurer  of  State  from  the  Superintendent, 
such  County  Treasurer  shall  cause  the  same  to  be  paid  out  of  the 
County  Treasury  to  the  Treasurer  of  Stale.  And  such  County 
Treasurer  shall  collect  the  amount  of  such  account  from  the  estate 
of  such  pupil,  if  he  have  any,  by  suit,  if  neccessary,  in  the  name  of 
the  county." 

VI.  Each  applicant  for  admission  should  come  well  supplied 
with  clothing;  and  on  all  articles  on  which  it  is  possible  to  mark 
the  name  of  the  pupil,  it  should  be  written  with  indellible  ink.  In 
all  cases,  except  those  clothed  by  the  county,  besides  the  ordinary 
supply  of  clothing,  the  applicant  should  deposit  with  the  Superin- 
tendent a  sum  not  less  than  five  dollars,  to  defray  incidental  ex- 
penses, repairs  of  shoes,  etc.,  any  part  of  which  remaining  unex- 
pended at  the  close  of  the  session  will  be  returned.  Each  pupil 
should  be  supplied  with  a  trunk. 

VII.  The  Institution  is  not  an  Asylum  ;  but  a  school  of  learn- 
ing; and  hence  no  one  can  be  admitted  or  retained  as  a  pupil  who, 
from  sickness  or  from  any  other  cause,  is  unable  to  pursue  their 
studies  successfully. 

Vlil.  The  course  of  study  in  the  primary  department  embraces 
Spelling.  Reading,  Writing,  Arithmetic,  Geography  and  Grammar, 
and  ordinarily  requires  seven  years  to  complete  it.  AU  the  pupils 
who  wish  it,  and  will  avail  themselves  of  it,  are  allowed  the  full 
benefit  of  this  course  of  study. 


57 

IX.  For  the  benefit  of  those  who  wish  to  qualify  themselves 
for  teaching  or  for  other  intellectual  pursuits,  the  Trustees  have 
established  a  High  Class,  and  adopted  a  course  of  three  years'  study 
in  the  sciences.  From  among  those  who  complete  the  primary 
course  of  study  the  Superintendent  may  select  each  year  the  most 
promising  pupils  and  admit  them  as  members  of  this  class ;  pro- 
vided that  not  more  than  seven  shall  be  admitted  to  the  class  in 
any  one  year,  and  not  more  than  twenty -one  in  all. 

X.  It  is  the  intention  of  the  Trustees  to  render  the  pupils  self- 
supporting,  so  far  as  practicable,  and  that  every  pupil,  on  leaving 
the  Institution,  shall  be  proficient  in  some  useful  occupation  or 
trade  as  to  be  able  to  procure  a  livelihood  without  reliance  on  the 
charities  of  others.  In  accordance  with  this  design,  all  the  scholars 
will  be  required  to  labor  a  portion  of  each  day,  the  girls  performing 
the  lighter  kinds  of  housework,  and  various  kinds  of  needle  work, 
as  plain  sewing,  ornamental  work,  dress  making  and  millinery; 
and  the  boys  at  various  trades,  the  necessary  work  about  the 
Asylum,  and  in  the  cultivation  of  the  farm  and  garden. 

XL  All  business  lettors,  or  letters  of  inquiry  in  regard  to  pupils 
in  the  Asylum,  or  those  whom  it  may  be  designed  to  place  there, 
should  be  addressed  to  Thomas  MacIntire,  Superintendent,  Insti- 
tution for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb,  Indianapolis. 

XII.  Those  persons  bringing  pupils  to,  or  taking  them  away, 
can  not  be  furnished  with  board,  lodging  or  horsekeeping  at  the 
Asylum. 

XIII.  Applicants  for  admission  should  be  between  ten  and 
twenty-one  years  of  age.  Twelve,  in  ordinary  cases,  is  considered 
the  best  age  for  entering  the  Institution. 

XIV.  No  pupil,  unless  under  extraordinary  circumstances,  can 
be  received  at  any  other  time  than  the  commencement  of  the  ses- 
sion. 

XV.  It  is  desired  and  expected  that  all  the  pupils  spend  the 
vacation  at  home.

TRUSTEES'  REPORT. 


To  his  Excellency,  Conrad  Baker, 

Governor  of  Indiana : 

The  undersigned,  Trustees  of  the  Indiana  Institufr  for  the  Edu- 
cation of  the  Blind,  respectfully  present  their  Twrnty-second  An- 
nual Report,  with  accompanying  document-:. 

The  following  statement  shows  the  resources  of  the   Institution 
during  the  financial  year  of  the  State,  ending  on  tiie  31st  ultimo. 
Unexpended  balanoe  of  appropriations  for  current  sup-

to  March  31,  1869,  inclusive ^i5,000  00

count of  advances  for  clothing  and  traveling  expenses

Total  resources r«l48,296  68 

I'or  a  detailed  exhibit  and  classified  abstract  of  the  various  items 
of  expenditure  during  the  year,  we  beg  leave  to  refer  your  Excel- 
lenccncy  to  the  subjoined  reports  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Board,, 
marked  "Appendix  A." 

The  total  amount  of  disbursements  for  all  j)urposes  is  there, 
sliown  to  have  been  thirty-three  thousand  and  seventy-six  dollars 
and  sixty-five  cents  (§33,076  65).  But  in  order  to  come  at  the  ac- 
tual expenses  of  the  Institution,  the  above  mentioned  item  of  two 
thousand  nine  hundred  and  forty-four  dollars  and  fourteen  cents 
('S2,944  14),  reimbursed  by  counties  on  account  of  advances  for 
clothing  and  traveling  expenses  of  pupils,  should  be  deducted  from 


6 

this  sum.  This  done,  we  have  thirty  ihousacd  one  hundred  and 
thirty-two  dollars  and  fifty-one  cents  (830,132  51),  as  the  net 
amount  of  expenses. 

From  the  foregoing  statements  we  show  the  financial  status  of 
the  Institution  at  the  date  of  this  report,  as  follows: 

Total  amount  of  receipts  brought  forward , .    .  .  848,296  6S 

Total  amount  of  disbursements  brou!:rht  forward 33,076  6o 


Unexpended  balance  in  treasury..  .  . $15,220  03 

The  above  balance  is  aj^piicable  to  the  current  supjx^rt  of  the  In- 
stitution until  March  31,  1869,  the  close  of  the  year  for  which  the 
appropriation  was  made,  and,  without  the  occurrence  of  some  un- 
locked for  emergency,  it  will  undoubtedly  prove  sufficient  for  our 
needs. 

At  our  regular  meeting  in  the  month  of  April  last,  Mr.  William 
M.  Stilwell  was  unanimously  re-elected  as  Secretary  of  the  Board 
for  the  term  of  one  year. 

The  accompanying  report  of  the  Superintendent  exhibits  the  re- 
sults of  the  several  departments  of  the  Institution  during  the  past 
year,  in  so  clear  and  satisfactory  a  manner,  that  we  need  only  refer 
your  Excellency  to  its  pages  for  the  necessar}^  particulars.  Suffice 
it  to  say  on  our  part,  wdiat  indeed  is  patent  to  every  one,  that  no 
State  in  the  Union  has  more  abundant  reason  than  our  own  for 
just  pride  in  the  prosperous  management  of  her  school  for  the  un- 
fortunate blind. 

To  the  important  suggestions  and  recommendations  of  our  Su- 
perintendent in  reference  to  the  urgent  necessity  of  an  early  exten- 
sion of  the  principal  building  of  the  Institution,  aiid  the  substitution 
of  a  more  approved  system  of  warming  it  and  the  shop  building 
than  is  afforded  by  the  hot  air  furnaces  and  stoves  now  in  u;fe.  v.'(^ 
would  call  the  special  attention  of  your  Excellency  and  the  Legis- 
lature. 

In  several  of  our  previous  reports  we  have  earnestly  dwelt  upon 
the  desirability  of  steam  fixtures  for  warming  tliis  Institution  sin\- 
ilar  to  those  employed  in  the  other  State  Institutions,  and  need 
only  say,  on  this  occasion,  that  nothing  has  occurred  to  change  our 
convictions  upon  the  subject. 

The  cost  of  such  an  improvement  would  certainly  be  very  light 
ill  comparison  with  its  beneficial  effects  upon  the  health  and  com- 


fort  of  the  inmates,  as  well  as  the  greater  safety  it  would  insure  to 
their  persons,  and  to  the  buildings  themselves. 

Upon  the  subject  of  the  propesed  addition  to  the  building,  we 
need  not  enlarge.  The  reasons  for  this  reeommendation  of  the 
Superintendent  are  so  plainly  set  forth  in  his  report,  that  its  im- 
portance is  manifest  to  each  member  of  our  Board,  and  must  be  so 
at  ojice  to  the  members  of  the  Legislature.  We  have  carefully 
examined  the  plans  submitted  by  him,  and  they  meet  with  our  un- 
qualified approval. 

From  careful  estimates  furnished  by  competent  authorities,  we 
are  of  opinion  that  the  cost  of  introducing  steam  fixtures  into  the 
main  building  as  it  now  stands,  would  not  exceed  the  sum  of  ten 
thousand  dollars,  and  for  the  shop  buildings  the  additional  sum  of 
fifteen  hundred  dollars,  while  that  of  erecting  the  proposed  exten- 
sion to  the  main  building,  including  the  additional  steam  fixtures 
fur  it,  would  amount  to  fixty-six  thousand  dollars,  and  we  would 
earnestly  reeomm.end  the  appropriation  of  these  several  sums  for 
tlie  accomplishment  of  the  respective  purposes  set  forth. 

P'or  th«  current  support  of  the  Institution  during  the  period  of 
tv.'o  years  from  nnd  after  the  first  of  April  next,  including  the  re- 
newal of  the  wooden  portion  of  the  fences  enclosing  the  premises, 
the  sum  of  sixty-five  thousand  doWars  (ii-^GOjOOO)  will  be  needed, 
and  an  appropriation  of  this  amount  by  the  Legislature  is  likewise 
recommended. 

The  Board  would  cordially  invite  the  most  rigid  exam.ination,  on 
the  [)art  of  the  Legislature  or  its  appropriate  committees,  into  the 
present  condition  and  management  of  their  interesting  trust,  feel- 
ing assured  that  such  an  examination  could  not  but  result  in  a 
coiirirmation  of  the  favorable  views  herein  expressed  in  reference 
to  the  same. 

The  Trustees  feel  that  they,  in  common  with  the  people  of  the 
State,  have  cause  to  congratulate  themselves  in  the  fact  of  the 
continuance  at  the  head  of  this  Institution  of  our  accomplished 
Superintendent,  Mr.  W.  H.  Churchman.  To  him  it  is  chiefly  due 
that  the  Indiana  Institution  stands  in  the  front  rank  of  similar  in- 
stitutions in  this  country.  His  able  administration  of  its  affairs 
has  been  appreciated  at  home  not  only,  but  recognized  abroad. 
In  1866,  when  the  Trustees  of  the  New  York  State  Institution 
sought  for  a  man  to  place  at  the  head  of  their  establishment,  they 
chose  Mr.  Churchman  and  elected  him.     Though  the  salary  offered 


8 

there  was  nearly  double  that  which  he  receives  here,  Mr.  Church- 
man, yielding  to  our  earnest  solicitation,  resigned  the  New  York 
superintendency,  and  continues  to  occupy  his  position  of  honor 
and  usefulness  here. 

The  salary  allowed  by  law  to  the  Superintendent  is  inadequate. 
Fourteen  hundred  dollars  per  annum  only  enables  a  man  with  a 
family  barely  to  live.  A  faithful  public  servant,  who  devotes  his 
whole  mind  and  every  energy  to  such  a  work,  surely  ought  to  be 
allowed  enough  to  enable  him  to  lay  by  something  for  sickness 
and  old  age.  We  ask  the  attention  of  the  Legislature  to  this  par- 
ticular case.  For  ourselves,  we  shall  not  think  justice  has  been 
done  Mr.  Churchman  until  his  salary  is  made  at  least  two  thousand 
dollars. 

Respectfully  submitted,

Of  the  one  hundred  and  twenty-six  pupils  above  mentioned, 
twenty-one  {21),  Louis  Bechtdolt,  .John  J.  Biggs,  Moses  Branden- 
buigh,  Joseph  Didierjohn,  William  G.  Garretson,  Thomas  M.  Lun-

Louisa  Fitzpatrick,  Mellissa  Garrison,  Phebe  Garrison,  Lavinia  C. 
Taulbee,  and  Naomi  C.  Unthank,  left  as  graduates  either  of  the 
school  or  work  department ;  two,  M.  Amelia  Bross  and  Susan  E. 
Garrison,  left  on  account  of  failing  health,  and  subsequently  died 
at  their  homes,  with  consumj)tion ;  one,  Ellen  E.  Jelres,  left  to  ac- 
company her  parents  on  their  removal  to  another  State;  three,  Eu- 
nice A.  Case,  David  C.  Shouse,  and  Polly  M.  Shouse,  were  re- 
turned to  their  friends  as  improper  subjects  for  the  Institution,  their

blindness  being  but  partial,  and  deemed  susceptible  of  cure  by 
proper  medical  treatment;  and  two,  Cynthia  E.  Baugh  and  Julia 
A.  Kelly,  were  dismissed  on  account  of  incapacity  for  study,  the 
former,  through  physical,  and  the  latter  through  mental  disability. 
The  remaining  ninety-seven  are  still  connected  with  the  Institu- 
tion, and  numerous  other  admitted  applicants  are  daily  expected  to 
enter  upon  their  terms  of  instruction. 

The  two  young  ladies  removed  by  death,  were  among  the  most 
promising  pupils  of  our  school,  and  their  memory  is  affectionately 
cherished  by  the  entire  household. 

All  of  the  young  men  mentioned  as  graduates,  had  obtained  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  broom  making  business,  with  one  par- 
tial exception,  and  several  of  them  had  learned  other  branches  of 
handicraft.  Most,  if  not  all  of  them  are  already  prosecuting  their 
trades  with  success,  and  thus  rendering  available  as  a  means  of  self 
maintainence,  the  skill  acquired  through  careful  training  in  our 
shops.  In  no  previous  year  since  the  foundation  of  the  Institution, 
have  the  shops  turned  out  a  class  of  workmen  so  numerous  and 
well  trained. 

While  we  are  permitted  to  speak  thus  encouragingly  of  our  male 
graduates,  the  gratification  derived  therefrom  is  offset  in  some  meas- 
ure by  a  consciousness  of  our  present  inability  to  provide  the  female 
graduates  with  equal  facilities  for  self-support.  Truie,  they  receive 
a  sound  education,  morally  and  intellectually,  and  are  carefully 
drilled  in  most  of  the  manual  employments,  ordinarily  engaged  in 
by  females  in  the  domestic  circle,  together  with  the  execution  of  a 
variety  of  ornamental  work  in  beads  and  other  materials,  all  of 
which  tend  very  largely  to  increase  their  happiness  through  mental 
elevation,  and  the  removal  of  many  impediments  to  self-helpfulness. 
But,  notwithstanding  these  acquirements,  and  I  would  not  under- 
rate their  extreme  value  as  ameliorative  agencies,  they  must  under 
existing  circumstances,  continue  to  feel  the  lack  of  some  definite, 
lucrative  employment,  as  accessible  to  them  as  are  the  broom  mak- 
ing and  several  other  mechanic  arts  to  their  brothers  in  misfortune. 
May  we  not  hope  that  'ere  the  time  shall  arrive  for  graduating  an- 
other class,  some  way  will  be  opened  to  us  for  supplying  this  great 
need?  We  know  it  is  a  difficult  problem,  and  one  which  has 
already  elicited  much  thought  among  leading  Educators  of  the 
blind,  but  we  are  not  without  confidence  that  it  will  yet  be  found 
susceptible  of  solution. 


19 

These  hints  have  been  ventured  upon,  not  with  the  view  of  givitig 
expression  to  any  feeling  of  discouragement  upon  the  .subject  in- 
volved, but  in  the  hope  of  stimulating  renewed  effort  in  the  direction 
indicated.  They  have  reference  to  our  female  pupils  as  a  class. 
Now  and  then,  as  with  the  male  pupils,  we  send  out  one  who  suc- 
ceeds well  in  some  Literary  or  Musical  employment,  but  such  is 
not  the  rule. 

In  answer  to  inquiries  upon  the  the  subject,  frequently  received," 
allow  me  to  insert  here,  the  following  classified  statement  of  the 
W"hole  number  of  pupils  received  into  our  Institution  since  its  foun. 
dation  in  1847 : 

Whole  number  received 365 

Number  of  males    195 

Number  of  females 170 

Number  totally  blind 171 

Number  partially  blind 194 

Number  born  blind 137 

Number  born  with  sight 228 

Number  blind  through  accident 40 

Number  blind  through  disease 188 

Number  whose  parents  were  blood  relations 44 

LITERARY    DEPARTMENT. 

No  change  worthy  of  note  in  either  the  organization  or  manage- 
ment of  this  department,  has  been  instituted  since  our  last  report. 
It  is  only  necessary,  therefore,  under  this  head,  to  assure  your  Board 
that,  through  the  zealous  devotion  of  the  several  teachers  employed 
and  commensurate  industry  on  the  part  of  the  pupils,  the  latter 
have  made  commendable  progress  in  all  of  the  branches  pursued. 

MUSIC    DEPARTMENT. 

In  the  last  report,  reference  was  made  to  some  then  recent  changes 
in  the  organization  of  this  department,  by  which  w^e  were  able, 
without  materially  increasing  our  expenses,  to  furnish  to  our  ad- 
vanced pupils  the  best  instruction  afforded  by  the  musical  profes- 
sion of  our  city,  and  give  them,  at  the  same  time,  an  opportunity 
to  improve  themselves  in  the  art  of  teaching.  We  had  dispensed 
with  the  services  of  one  of  our  two  resident  teachers  of  music,  who 
.were  paid  for  the  employment  of  their  whole  time  in  the  Institu- 


20 

tion,  and  substituted  therefor  the  partial  services  of  several  of  our 
city  teachers  with  special  qualifications  in  their  respective  branches 
of  instrumental  and  vocal  music.  This  left  us  but  one  resident 
teacher,  who,  with  the  assistance  of  a  normal  class,  composed  of 
special  music  pupils,  were  able  to  perform  the  major  part  of  the 
teaching. 

Finding  the  new  system,  here  adverted  to,  entirely  satisfactory 
in  its  results,  and  a  decided  improvement  upon  the  former  one,  it 
has  been  continued  for  the  current  session. 

The  church  organ,  for  the  purchase  of  which  a  special  appropri- 
ation was  made  by  the  last  Legislature,  was  received  in  January 
of  the  current  year,  and  proves  a  most  excellent  instrument  in  all 
respects.  Several  of  the  pupils  are  already  making  commendable 
progress  in  its  use,  and  bid  fair  to  realize  our  expectations,  hereto- 
fore expressed,  of  fitting  them  for  a  successful  career  as  organists 
in  some  of  the  leading  churches  of  the  State^  Additional  to  the 
direct  enhancement  of  the  educational  resources  of  our  special 
music  pupils,  the  prime  object  of  the  purchase  of  this  instrument, 
its  favorable  influence  upon  the  general  improvement  of  the  music 
department,  and  indeed  upon  the  whole  school,  is  observable  in  a 
marked  degree.  The  elevated  character  w^hich  it  imparts  to  our 
devotional  exercises,  would  alone  justify  its  cost  to  the  Institution. 
We  have  likewise  added  to  the  appliances  of  this  department 
during  the  past  year,  a  superior  grand  piano,  and  an  excellent  set 
of  band  instruments,  all  of  which  have  been  purchased  with  the 
proceeds  of  our  green  house,  and  therefore  without  direct  expense 
to  the  Institution.  With  the  additional  preparation  afforded  by 
instruction  upon  the  band  instruments,  we  hope  to  augment  still 
further  the  facilities  of  our  musical  graduates  for  self-maintain- 
ance. 

Of  the  general  progress  of  the  music  department,  which  is  mainly 
conducted  by  our  resident  teacher.  Mr.  R.  A.  Newland,  one  of  our 
own  graduates,  I  am  permitted  to  bear  the  most  favorable  testimo- 
nv.  And  I  feel  constrained  to  acknowledge,  in  this  connection,  the 
indebtedness  of  our  Institution  to  the  distinguished  Director  and 
Professor  of  Music  of  the  Massachusetts  Institution  for  the  Blind, 
for  valuable  professional  services  rendered  by  them,  gratuitously, 
to  Mr.  Newland,  during  his  recent  sojourn  of  two  months  in  their 
excellent  school,  for  the  purpose  of  perfecting  himself  in  his  musi- 
cal studies.     Professor  G.  B.  Loomis,  teacher  of  music  in  the  Pub- 


21 

lie  Schools  of  our  city,  who  instructed  our  vocal  classes  during  the 
iast  session  with  such  eminent  ability,  has  again  been  engaged  for 
the  present  session.  He  devotes  one  hour  per  day  to  our  school,  or 
two  hours  per  week  to  each  of  the  three  classes. 

In  the  instrumental  department,  Professor  C.  H.  Weegmann,  an 
eminent  teacher  in  our  city,  gives  semi-weekly  lessons  to  our  ad- 
vanced organ  and  piano  scholars,  and  exhibits  the  same  marked 
ability  with  the  blind  as  with  his  seeing  pupils. 

INDUSTRIAL     DEPARTMENT. 

The  workshops  still  continue  to  be  conducted  in  the  most  satis- 
factory manner  by  Mr.  J.  W.  Bradshaw,  under  the  system  of  man- 
agement pursued  for  the  past  seven  years,  and  it  is  difficult  to  see 
how  our  apprentices  could  be  furnished  with  better  facilities  for  the 
proper  acquisition  of  their  trades.  Allusion  has  elsewhere  been 
made  to  the  unusually  large  number  of  well-trained  graduates  from 
this  department  during  the  last  year. 

In  the  work  rooms  of  the  female  pupils,  the  usual  routine  has 
been  pursued,  and  with  the  same  gratifying  success  as  heretofore 
reported  from  time  to  time.  In  another  part  of  this  report,  refer- 
ence was  made  to  the  desirableness  of  finding  some  accessable  and 
appropriate  employment  for  our  female  pupils,  which  would  serve 
them. as  a  reliable  means  of  support  after  leaving  the  Institution,  and 
I  beg  leave  to  commend  the  subject  to  the  earnest  attention  of  your 
Board. 

Below  will  be  found  the  usual  tables,  showing  the  results  of  both 
branches  of  the  Industrial  Department,  during  the  year:

The  brushes  and  over  one-half  of  the  brooms,  above  enumerated, 
were  made  by  the  pupils;  the  remainder  by  hired  hands,  some  of 
them  blind.     As  the  work  shops  are  carried  on  by  the  contractor 


23 

on  his  own  account,  no  exhibit  of  receipts  and  expenditures  is  called 
for  in  this  communication. 

The  articles  of  sewing  named  in  the  list  of  girls'  work,  were 
made  for  home  use,  and  therefore  brought  no  direct  income  to  the 
Institution.  The  value  of  the  labor  performed  on  them  was,  how- 
ever, so  much  saved  to  its  current  expense  fund. 

BUILDINGS    AND    GROUNDS. 

With  the  repairs  made  during  the  past  two  years,  the  principal 
of  which  were  enumerated  in  the  lust  report,  our  entire  buildings 
are  now  in  most  excellent  condition,  and'  with  proper  care  may  be 
Kept  so  at  a  trifling  cost  for  some  years  to  come.  The  same  is 
likewise  true  of  the  grounds,  excepting  the  wooden  parts  of  the 
fencing,  and  the  lack  of  adequate  sewerage,  referred  to  in  a  former 
report.  These  will  need  your  early  attention.  The  latter  will  be 
found  didicult  of  accomplishment,  however,  without  considerable 
expense,  until  our  section  of  the  city  shall  have  been  provided  by 
the  proper  authorities  v\ith  a  more  complete  system  of  public  sew- 
erage than  now  exists. 

In  several  of  my  previous  reports,  the  urgent  necessityfor  a  safer 
and  more  healthful  system  of  warming  our  j)remises  than  is  fur- 
nished by  the  hot  air  furnaces  and  stoves  now  in  use.  has  been 
pressed  upon  the  attention  of  your  Board  ;  and  in  the  last  two  re- 
ports you  Ijave  been  advised  of  the  fast  approaching  time  when  it 
would  become  necessary  to  extend  our  building  accommodations, 
in  order  to  meet  the  increasing  demands  of  our  growing  school. 

Upon  the  first  of  these  topics  it  is  deemed  unnecessary  to  reiter- 
ate what  has  heretofore  been  so  frequently  urged,  or  detain  you 
with  anything  additional  thereto.  Allovv'  me  to  express  the  hope, 
however,  that  you  may  find  it  consistent  with  your  convictions  of 
duty,  lo  renew  your  application  to  the  Legislature  at  its  approach- 
ing session,  for  a  sufficient  appropriation  to  supply  this  imperative 
need.  Should  you  decide  to  do  so,  the  necessary  estimates  will  be 
furnished  you  for  insertion  in  your  forthcoming  report,  or  at  furthest, 
in  time  to  lay  them  before  the  appropriate  committees  of  the  Legis- 
lature. What  we  require  for  the  proper  warming  of  our  buildings, 
is  an  approved  low  pressure  steam  apparatus,  or  if  thought  best, 
such  as  has  already  been  provided  for  the  State  Hospital  for  the  In- 
sane, and  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb. 


24 

Under  the  second  head  mentioned  above,  I  beg  leave  to  submit, 
the  following  remarks : 

When  the  plans  of  our  present  building  were  devised,  and  their 
construction  commenced,  some  twenty  years  ago,  the  capacity  of 
the  main  edifice  for  the  accommodation  of  the  school  and  board- 
ing departments,  was  deemed  sufficient  for  one  hundred  pupils,  to- 
gether with  the  necessary  officers  and  employes.  This  was  con- 
sidered the  maximum  number,  while  that  which  could  be  suitably 
accommodated  was  placed  at  eighty.  Though  it  was  manifest  at 
the  time,  that  the  prospective  increase  in  the  population  of  the 
State  would  ultimately  render  a  larger  building  necessary,  it  was 
thought  advisable  not  to  burthen  the  people  with  a  greater  outlay  of 
means  until  such  necessity  should  arise;  and,  in  accordance  with 
this  view,  the  building  was  so  designe-d  as  to  admit  of  a  suitable 
extension.  From  fifteen  to  tv\'enty  years  was  the  time  which  it 
was  presumed  the  school  would  take  to  outgrow  its  present  accom~ 
modations.  This  period  is  now  past,  and  the  presumption  fully 
justified  by  experience.  In  short,  we  are  full  and  over  full.  So 
much  so,  that  after  crowding  our  dormitories  beyond  their  proper 
and  healthful  capacity,  we  are  obliged  to  lodge  a  num.ber  of  the 
pupils  in  the  halls  of  the  upper  stories  of  the  building.  Besides, 
our  school  rooms  are  too  limited  in  number  for  a  proper  classifica- 
tion, and  too  limited  in  capacity  for  healrhful  ventilation  and  con- 
venience in  the  work  of  instruction,  while  the  pupils  are  without 
adequate  indoor  range  for  exercise  and  recreation  during  inclement 
weather.  All  this,  too,  with  our  present  number  of  about  cfne  hun- 
dred, while  numerous  others  are  applyiiig  for  admission  into  the 
Institution,  whom  we  cannot  accommodate. 

In  the  Music  Department  we  are  likewise  deficient  in  the  requi- 
site number  of  rooms  for  piano-forte  and  other  instrumental  prac- 
tice, while  in  the  household  department  we  suffer  serious  inconve- 
nience from  the  lack  of  a  suitable  bakery  and  proper  accommoda- 
tions for  our  laundry.  A  basement  room  in  the  east  wing  was 
originally  fitted  up  for  the  purposes  of  washing  and  ironing,  but 
the  washing  appliances  proving  detrimental  to  the  building,  they 
were  several  years  since  removed  to  a  small,  inconvenient  outside 
structure,  as  a  temporary  expedient,  in  the  hope  that  the  Legisla- 
ture would,  at  an  early  day,  provide  us  with  means  for  the  erection 
of  a  special  permanent  structure  for  laundry  purposes.  I  need 
scarcely  add  that  this  hope  has  hitherto  been  unrealized. 


25 

Still  another  vrry  important  desideraium  of  which  our  building 
has  always  been  deficient,  its  necessity  being  unappreciated  in  the 
beginning,  is  an  ample  gymnasium  for  each  sex  of  the  pupils.  But 
as  I  have,  in  former  reports,  endeavored  to  show  you  that  a  school  for 
the  blind,  above  all  others,  requires  the  aid  of  gymnastic  training  for 
the  proper,  heathfiil  di^velopment  of  the  physical  powcTs  of  its  pu- 
pils, the  subject  need  not  be  enlarged  upon  here.  We  attempt  to 
tarry  out  this  useful  feature  of  physical  education,  despite  our 
cramped  accommodations,  but  find  the  obstacles  to  success  almost 
insurmountabli\ 

Tfie  inamier  of  enlargement  originally  contemplated  in  the  plan 
of  the  building,  wns  to  extend  the  wings  northward,  and  their  rear 
vv-alls  were  left  without  window^  ojoenings  with  a  view  to  this  end; 
but  subsequent  reflection  and  experience  have  v^uggested  what  is 
thought  to  be,  in  all  respects,  a  more  appropriate  plan  of  enlarge- 
ment. This  is,  in  general  terms,  to  erect  an  additional  building 
some  twenty-eight  or  thirty  ie-et  in  the  rear  of  the  main  edifice, 
and  connect  it  by  corridors  to^  the  wings  of  the  latter.  Such  a 
building  could  be  so  planned  as  To  supply,  at  a  moderate  cost,  all 
of  the  deficiencies  above  alluded  to,  and,  at  the  same  time,  double 
the  present  capacity  of  the  Institution. 

By  way  of  illustration  I  beg  leave  to  present  herewith  for  your 
inspection,  sketches  of  the  floor  plans  of  such  a  structure  as  I  think 
will  be  found  appropriate,  drawi!  in  coimeelion  with  those  of  the 
main  building. 

In  the  basement  stc^ry  are  provided,  as  you  will  observe,  the 
needed  laundry,  and  bakery,  together  with  a  store  room,  for  flour 
and  other  provisions,  and  in  addition  thereto,  better  arranged  wash- 
rooms, bath-rooms  and  water-closets  for  the  pupils  than  we  now 
possess.  The  transfer  of  the  wash-rooms,  and  bath-rooms,  from 
their  present  position  in  the  main  building,  would  tend  to  its  better 
preservation,  and  at  the  same  time  supply  in  their  stead,  excellent 
play-rooms  for  the  youiiger  pupils,  while  the  removal  of  the  existing 
outside  water-closets  would  constitute  a  palpable  improvement  of 
our  premises,  to  say  nothing  of  the  more  direct  advantages  secured 
thereby.  The  first  principal  story  is  appropriated  almost  exclu- 
sively to  the  literary  department,  and  contains  six  anople  school 
rooms,  together  with  a  couple  of  apparatus  rooms.  This  arrange- 
rnent  would  possess  the  double  advantage  of  isolating  the  school 
rooms  from  the  intereuptions  incident  to  their  present  location  in 


26 

the  main  building,  and  preventing  in  the  latter,  much  of  the  con- 
fusion now  experienced.  The  second  story  is  appropriated  wholly 
to  the  purposes  of  the  music  department,  and  provides  in  addition 
to  fourteen  suitable  rooms  for  instrumental  practice,  a  large  choir 
room,  which  could  also  be  used  for  assembling  the  whole  school  for 
lectures  and  other  purposes.  This  concentration  of  the  music  de- 
partment in  a  single,  isolated  section  of  the  builing,  would  possess 
advantages  which  are  too  obvious  to  need  explanation.  The  third 
story  is  devoted  to  additional  dormitories,  for  the  pupils,  and  the 
attic,  to  gymnasiums,  thus  supplying  two  of  the  important  needs 
heretofore  alluded  to. 

In  the  preparation  of  these  plans  especial  reference  has  been 
had  to  the  introduction  of  a  thorough  system  of  warming  and  ven- 
tilation. To  this  end  an  unusual  number  of  ample  induction  and 
eduction  ftues  have  been  introduced,  the  former  leading  direcily 
from  the  heating  chambers  to  the  rooms  and  halls  without  angles, 
and  the  latter  terminating  in  several  main  trunks  beneath  the  base- 
ment floor,  which  connect  theiu  vrith  the  bases  of  two  capacious 
ventilating  shafts,  one  at  either  end  of  the  building.  This  arrang^^^- 
ment  embodies  the  most  approved  system  of  warming  and  ventilat- 
ing among  architects  of  the  present  day,  and  cannot  fail  to  prove 
highly  successful  in  its  results. 

The  building  here  proposed  need  not  be  otherwise  than  plain,  and 
inexpensive,  sole  reference  being  had  to  appropriateness  of  arrange- 
ment, and  durability  of  construction.  An  estimate  of  its  probable 
cost  wdll  be  furnished  you  in  connection  with  the  promised  ones 
for  the  desired  steam  apparatus  to  warm  the  existing  building. 

Having  thus  explained  to  you  as  briefly  as  the  nature  of  the  case 
would  permit,  the  pressing  necessity  of  an  enlargement  of  our 
building  accommodations,  and  oftered  some  suggestions  as  to  the 
proper  plan  of  snch  enlargement,  I  cannot  but  indulge  the  hope 
that  your  Board  may  deem  it  expedient  to  second  the  eflort  here 
put  forth,  by  earnestly  commending  the  subject  to  the  Legislature, 
through  your  report  to  the  Governor,  now  about  to  be  issued. 

When  it  is  borne  in  mind  that  the  entire  original  cost  to  the 
State,  of  our  existing  buildings  and  grounds,  did  not  exceed  the 
sum  of  one  hundred  thousand  dollars,  while  the  present  market 
value  of  the  naked  grounds  without  the  improvements  is  no  less 
than  one  hundred  and  sixty  thousand  dollars,  the  first  cost  of  the 
same  being  five  thousand  dollars,  it  is  difficult  to  imagine  how  any 


27 

just  minded  member  of  the  Legislature  can  withhold  his  vote  for 
an  appropriation  of  the  comparatively  pmall  sum  wliich  would  br 
required  for  the  object  proposed.  Surely  the  State  never  made  a 
safer  or  more  remunerative  investment  of  the  kind  than  was  made 
in  its  behalf  by  the  original  Trustees  of  this  institution.  Nor  could 
its  representatives  ask  for  a  more  judicious  and  economical  expen- 
diture of  its  funds,  than  is  exacted  by  the  present  Board. 

Our  principal  building  as  to  its  adaptedness  in  design  and  ar- 
rangements, to  the  purposes  of  its  erection,  is  acknowledged  to  hi* 
without  a  superior,  if  indeed  an  equal,  in  any  part  of  the  country. 
All  it  now  lacks  is  capacity  for  present  and  future  needs;  and 
should  the  proposed  extension  be  accomplished,  ibis  deficiency  will 
be  amply  provided  for.  In  the  event  of  its  ever  becoming  again 
too  limited  for  the  want;s  of  the  State,  separate  boarding  houses  for 
the  older  pupils  would  be  preferable,  on  many  accounts,  to  any  ad- 
ditional enlargement. 

Respectfully  submitted.

APPENDIX  E. 


TO     THE     PUBLIC. 


Indiana  Institute  for  the  Education  of  the  Blind. 

This  Institution  is  located  at  Indianapolis,  the  capital  of  the 
State,  occupying  a  healthful  and  beautiful  site  in  the  northern  part 
of  the  city. 

It  is  strictly  an  educational  establishment,  having  for  its  object  the 
moral,  intellectual  and  physical  training  of  the  young  blind  of  both 
sexes  residing  in  the  State,  and  is,  therefore,  neither  an  asylum  for 
the  aged  and  helpless^  nor  a  hospital  for  the  treatment  of  disease. 

We  are  almost  daily  in  receipt  of  applications  from  persons  who 
wish  to  be  treated  for  the  cure  of  blindnes:^,  and  we  here  take  oc- 
casion to  explain,  for  the  benefit  of  such,  that  we  have  no  surgical 
or  medical  department  connected  with  our  Institution.  The  Chi- 
cago Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary,  however,  we  learn  from 
its  reports,  has  treated  many  Indiana  patients  without  charge, 
where  there  is  inability  to  pay;  and  it  may  be  worth  while,  there- 
fore, for  parties  desiring  medical  treatment,  to  address  their  inqui- 
ries to  that  establishment. 

For  the  iuformation  of  applicants,  and  other  interested  parties, 
the  following  compilation  is  made  from  the  regulations  of  the  In- 
stitute, viz: 

1.  The  school  year  commences  on  the  first  Wednesday  after 
the  15th  day  of  September,  and  closes  on  the  last  Wednesday  in 
June  following,  making  a  continuous  session  of  forty  weeks,  and 
leaving  a  vacation  of  twelve  weeks  during  the  warm  season. 

2.  As  a  rule,  applicants  who  are  under  nine  or  over  twenty-one 
years  of  age,  are  not  admitted;  but  exceptions  are  sometimes 
made  in  peculiar  cases,  at  the  discretion  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

3.  No  person  of  imbecile  or  unsound  mind,  or  of  confirmed 
immoral  character,  will  be  knowingly  admitted  into  the  Institute  ? 
and  in  case  any  pupil  shall,  after  a  fair  trial,  prove  incompetent  for 
useful  instruction  or  disobedient  to  the  regulations  of  the  Institute, 
such  pupil  will  be  thereupon  discharged. 


36 

4.  No  charge  is  made  for  the  boarding  and  instruction  of  pupils 
from  the  State  of  Indiana,  but  those  from  without  the  State  are 
charged  at  the  rate  of  $150  per  session  of  forty  weeks,  payable  in 
advance,  i.  e.,  one-half  at  the  beginning  and  the  other  half  at  the 
middle  of  the  session. 

5.  All  are  required  to  come  provided  with  an  adequate  supply 
of  good  comfortable  clothing,  embracing  suitable  articles  for  both 
summer  and  winter  wear,  in  such  quantity  as  to  admit  of  the 
necessary  changes  for  washing  and  repairing. 

6.  Each  article  of  clothing  should  be  distinctly  marked  with 
the  owner's  name,  in  order  to  prevent  confusion  or  loss,  and  must 
be  sent  in  good  condition,  not  only  upon  the  first  entrance  of  the 
pupil,  but  also  at  each  subsequent  return  from  home  after  the  vaca- 
tions. 

7.  In  cases  where  the  parents  or  guardians  of  pupils,  from  the 
State  of  Indiana,  are  unable,  through  indigence,  to  supply  them 
with  the  necessary  clothing,  the  same  is,  by  law,  provided  by  the 
Institution,  and  the  amount  of  its  cost  collected  from  the  respective 
counties  in  which  such  pupils  reside ;  like  provision  is  also  made 
for  defraying  the  traveling  expenses  of  indigent  pupils  to  and  from 
the  Institute. 

8.  It  is  positively  required  that  every  pupil  shall  be  removed 
from  the  Institution  during  the  annual  vacation  of  the  school,  as 
well  as  at  any  other  time  when  such  removal  maybe  deemed  neces- 
sary by  the  proper  officers  thereof;  and  in  case  of  the  failure  of  the 
friends  of  any  pupil  to  comply  with  this  requisition,  provision  is 
made  by  law  for  the  sending  of  such  pupil  to  the  Trustee  of  the 
township  in  which  he  or  she  resides,  to  be  by  him  provided  for  at 
the  expense  of  the  county. 

9.  Persons  bringing  pupils  to  the  Institution,  or  visiting  them 
while  there,  cannot  be  accommodated  with  boarding  and  lodging 
during  their  stay  in  the  city. 

10.  All  letters  to  the  pupils  should  be  addressed  to  the  care  of 
the  Institute,  in  order  to  insure  their  prompt  delivery. 

11.  Persons  wishing  to  procure  the  admission  of  pupils,  should 
apply  to  the  Superintendent,  by  letter  or  otherwise,  for  printed  in- 
structions as  to  the  manner  of  procedure,  and  no  pupil  should  be 
sent  to  the  Institute  until  such  instructions  shall  have  been  com- 
plied with.

SUPPLEMENTAL  REPORT. 


Indiana  Soldiers'  Home, 
Knightstown,  Ind.,  March  JiO,  1869. 

To  His  Excellency,  Conrad  Baker, 

Governor  of  Indiana: 

Dear  Sir: — Feeling  a  deep  interest  in  this  Institute  as 
its  Trustees,  we  beg  leave  to  submit  this  supplementary 
report,  bringing  to  your  notice  some  facts  which  have  not 
hitherto  been  brought  before  you,  showing,  in  our  judg- 
ment, why  it  should  not  only  be  continued,  but  enlarged, 
and  greater  capacity  provided,  that  it  may  subserve  the 
object  for  which  it  was  established,  by  providing  "homes," 
not  only  for  the  destitute  disabled  soldiers,  but  also  for  the 
hundreds  of  soldiers'  orphans,  who  are  daily  knocking  at  its 
doors  for  admittance,  care,  and  even  the  necessaries  of  life — 
food  and  clothing.  Although  the  last  General  Assembly 
failed  to  provide  for  its  extension  and  proper  support,  we 
are  led  to  believe  it  was  not  for  want  of  proper  sympathy 
with  the  Institution,  but  from  the  fact  that  they  did  not 
understand  the  necessities  of  it,  and  the  demands  upon  it 
for  relief,  by  the  disabled  soldiers  and  orphans  of  the  State. 


While  it  is  true  that  the  ''national  asylums"  do  provide 
comfortable  "homes"  for  a  large  number  of  soldiers,  there 
is  a  large  number  that  they  do  not  and  can  not  provide  for 
under  the  existing  laws  which  govern  them,  and  they  fail 
altogether  to  provide  for  the  orphans  in  any  way,  but  are 
strictly  designed  for  soldiers  of  the  late  war  who  were  in 
the  volunteer  service,  and  who  were  discharged  for  wounds 
or  disease  contracted  in  the  service,  and  which  fact  must 
be  so  stated  upon  their  "discharges."  For  instance,  a  sol- 
dier who  enlisted  in  the  three  years  regular  service  from 
Indiana,  and  who  lost  a  leg  or  an  arm  while  on  duty  with 
his  regiment,  or  otherwise  disabled,  cannot  gain  admission 
to  any  of  the  national  asylums;  or  a  soldier  who  contracted 
the  seeds  of  disease  while  in  battle  or  upon  the  march,  yet 
served  out  his  time  with  his  regiment,  and  for  years  sup- 
ported his  family,  yet  finally  was  stricken  down  with  dis- 
ease and  rendered  helpless,  cannot  be  cared  for  by  any  of 
these  asylums. 

While  we  would  say  nothing  disparaging  of  these  noble 
structures  which  the  Government  has  reared  for  the  disabled 
soldier  of  the  volunteer  service,  but  bid  them  God  speed  in 
their  good  work,  we  earnestlv  ask  that  our  home  be  con- 
tinned,  that  it  may  provide  comfortable  homes  for  the  class 
of  men  who  have  not  been  provided  for  by  the  munificence 
of  the  Government. 

Another  reason  why  Indiana,  as  well  as  other  States, 
should  have  homes,  is  this:  The  disabled  soldier  does  not 
like  to  leave  his  own  State.  This  is  urged  by  many  of 
them  when  you  talk  to  them  about  going  to  the  national 
asylums. 

,  Many  of  them  are  only  temporarily  disabled,  and  with 
a  few  weeks  or  months'  medical  or  surgical  treatment  can 
be  restored  and  sent  home  to  their  families,  to  be  a  blessing 
to  them,  and  even  while  under  such  treatment  want  to  go 
home  and  see  their  families — send  them  out  of  their  own 
States — and  this,  to  a  great  extent,  is  rendered  impossible. 

Another  class  of  soldiers  unprovided  for  by  these  asy- 
lums are  the  seamen — men  who  enlisted  In  the  marine  or 


gutiboat  service.  Indiana  has  a  large  number  of  men  be» 
longing  to  this  branch  of  service  who  were  disabled.  Many 
of  them  have  been  and  are  now  inmates  of  our  Home. 
There  is  no  Home  or  place  in  the  United  States  where  this 
class  of  disabled  soldiers  can  be  cared  for,  and  to  close  up 
our  Home  would  be  to  turn  out  these  men  to  the  cold  cha- 
rity of  the  world,  or  to  make  paupers  of  them  during  the 
remainder  of  their  lives. 

Our  Home  provides  for  all  honorably  discharged  soldiers 
of  our  State,  who  were  disabled  in  any  branch  of  the  gov- 
ernment service,  either  regular,  volunteer,  or  marine,  and 
also  those  who  may  have  been  disabled  after  their  dis- 
charge, and  who  are  necessitous  at  the  time  of  application 
for  admission. 

These  soldiers  enlisted  to  serve  as  Indiana  soldiers-r- 
their  attachments  are  for  their  own  State.  They  were 
prou'jised,  in  hundreds  of  speeches  made  to  them  to  enlist, 
that,  should  they  become  disabled,  they  should  be  cared 
for.  Will  Indiana  now  turn  her  back  upon  these  noble 
veterans?      We  hope  not. 

Bur,  another  and  greater  reason  why  this  institution 
should  be  continued  and  liberally  supported,  is  the  hun- 
dreds ol  helpless,  destitute  orphans  of  the  hundreds  of  our 
brave  men  who  sacrificed  their  lives  upon  the  altar  of  their 
country  that  it  might  be  saved  from  destruction,  and  whose 
last  thoughts,  while  they  lay  upon  the  battle  field,  mortally 
wounded,  and  their  life  blood  slowly  ebbing  out,  or  while 
they  lay  languishing  in  pri.-^on  pens  with  their  lives  starving 
out,  or  in  hospital  with  disease  and  death  staring  them  in 
the  face,  were,  "  Who  will  take  care  of  the  little  ones  at 
home?" 

Indiana  stood  in  the  front  rank  daring  the  war,  and  yet 
she  is  not  in  the  front  rank  in  providing  for  her  destitute 
soldiers  and  orphans.  We  give  below  a  few  facts  and  sta? 
tistics  showing  what  other  States  are  doing,  so  far  as  we 
have  been  able  to  gather  them  : 

Massachusetts  has  a  disabled  Soldiers'  Home  at  Boston, 
which  was  founded  by  private  munificence,  and  conducted 


by  voluntary  labor  of  the  Irieiids  of  tlie  ssoldier.  To  this 
Home  the  State  contributes  by  appropriating  twenty  thou- 
sand dollars  annually.  Connecticut  provides  that  her  dis- 
abled soldiers,  needing  care,  may  be  admitted  To  the  State 
Hospital,  upon  the  order  of  the  Governor  of  the  State,  and 
allows  for  their  support  the  aura  of  six  dollars  per  week. 

New  York  has  thus  far  maintained  a  State  Home  at  AU 
bany,  and  has  appropriated  annually  for  its  support  from 
one  hundred  and  fifty  to  two  hundred  thousand  dollars. 

New  Jersey  has  a  permanent  Soldiers'  Home,  located  at 
]>[ewark.  It  is  wholly  under  State  control,  and  the  annual 
cost  of  the  institution  is  thirty  thousand  dollars.  The 
State  also  provides  out  door  relief,  in  special  cases,  allow-* 
ing  them  to  remain  with  the  families  and  receive  from  four 
to  eight  dollars  per  month. 

Pennsylvania  has  now  Orphan  Homes  located  in  differ^ 
ent  parts  of  the  State,  with  about  thirty-five  hundred  soU 
diers'  orphans  attending  school  and  receiving  their  entire 
support  from  the  State,  at  an  expense  of  a  half  million  dol- 
lars annually.  These  several  institutions  are  managed,  so 
far  as  the  schools  and  the  general  care  of  the  children  is 
concerned,  on  much  the  same  principle  as  our  orphan 
department. 

Iowa  has  three  Orphan  Homes,  which  are  at  this  time 
caring  for  eight  hundred  and  thirty-three  orphans  of  de- 
ceased soldiers  and  seamen,  which  costs  the  State  about 
one  hundred  thousand  dollars  annually. 

Wisconsin  maintains  a  Soldiers'  Orphan  Home  at 
Madison,  at  an  annual  cost  of  twenty-five  thousand  dollars. 

In  1867,  Michigan  established  a  temporary  home  for  dis- 
abled soldiers,  which  is  still  in  operation  under  the  control 
of  the  State.  An  effort  is  being  made  at  the  present  ses- 
sion of  the  General  Assembly  of  this  State  to  establish  a 
permanent  Home.  The  Commissioners  appointed  by  the 
Governor  two  years  ago  to  devise  plans  for  a  Home  visited 
our  Indiana  Home,  and  have  recommended  the  establish- 
ment of  it  upon  the  same  plan  of  ours.     They  appropriate 


three  dollars  and  fifty  cents  per  week  ^or  the  maintenance 
of  their  soldiersv 

With  the  foregoing  facts  we  leave  this  subject,  and  pas? 
to  the  consideration  of  our  wants. 

In  making  up  our  estimates  of  what  we  want  to  make 
the  Home  what  it  should  be,  we  asked  for  thirty  thousand 
dollars  for  buildings,  five  thousand  dollars  for  purchase  of 
real  estate,  and  an  increase  for  subsistence  of  one  dollar 
per  week,  making  two  dollars  and  fifty  cents  per  week  for 
current  expenses.  If  the  soldier  and  the  orphan  of  the 
State  are  to  be  cared  for  at  all,  they  should  be  well  cared 
for;  in  other  words,  if  the  institution  is  to  be  supported,  it 
should  be  liberality  supported.  If  it  is  right  to  care  for 
part  4f  the  orphans  it  is  right  to  care  for  all.  At  the  low- 
est possible  estimate  there  are  in  this  State  five  hundred 
totally  helpless  orphans,  who  are  destitute  and  have  no 
visible  means  of  support,  and  who  should  be  in  the  Orphan 
Home  to-day,  / 

We  have  now  one  hundred  and  eight,  with  sixty  appli- 
tions  pending  for  admission,  making  strong  appeals  to  us 
for  a  home.  We  receive,  almost  daily,  letters  from  differ- 
ent parts  of  the  State,  saying:  ''There  are  so  many  child- 
ren here,  orphans  of  soldiers,  whose  mothers  died  a  few 
days  ago,  leaving  them  perfectly  helpless.  If  you  can  not 
take  them,  they  will  be  compelled  to  go  to  the  Poor 
House."  The  answer  goes  baxik  to  them,  "  We  are  full, 
and  can  not  possibly  take  any  more,"  thus  making  the 
Poor  House  their  inevitable  doom. 

Now  we  should  by  all  means  erect  a  building  this  sea- 
son, and  with  an  appropriation  of  thirty  thousand  dollars 
for  this  purpose  we  could  provide  for  about  three  hundred, 
which  would  greatly  relieve  the  pressing  demands  upon  us. 
Compared  with  what  other  States  are  doing  for  their  or= 
phans,  we  think  this  is  not  an  unreasonable  request. 

As  to  the  amount  asked  for  for  current  expenses  of  the 
institution,  nothing  short  of  this  amount  will  feed,  clothe 
and  educate,  and  pay  for  employees,  and  all  current  ex- 
penses.    It  b  utterly  useless*  to  attempt  to  carry  on  tire 


Home  for  another  year  with  a  less  amount  than  this- 
Should  the  approaching  session  of  the  Legislature  do  less 
than  this,  it  will  be  equivalent  to  closing  the  Home,  and 
distributing  its  inmates  among  the  poor  houses  throughout 
the  State. 

The  present  indebtedness  of  the  Home  waH  to  a  consid- 
erable extent  created  by  the  attempt  to  carry  it  on  at  the 
low  rate  of  one  dollar  and  fifty  cents  per  week  for  each  in- 
mate. The  Board  are  unwilling  to  create  another  debt 
under  like  circumstances. 

AH  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

REPORT. 


Mr.  Speaker  : 

The  Committee  on  the  Affairs  of  State  Prisons,  to  whom  was 
referred  that  portion  of  the 'Governors  Message  relating  to  said 
Prisons,  the  Reports  of  the  Directors,  and  accompanying  docu- 
ments,and  to  whom  was  assigned  the  duty  of  visitingsaid  Prisons, 
and  personally  examining  the  same,  the  books  and  accounts  of  the 
officers,  and  all  other  matters  pertaining  thereto,  beg  leave  to  sub- 
mit  the  following  report : 

1.  As  to  the  affairs  of  the  State  Prison,  South.  The  committee 
have  visited  said  Prison  and  made  a  careful  and  minute  examination 
of  the  same.  They  find  the  buildings,  or  so  much  thereof  as  comprise 
the  cell-houses,  ai-e  old  and  constructed  seemingly  with  a  view  to 
rendering  confinement  therein,  of  itself,  an  insufferable  punishment, 
so  little  regard  being  paid  in  the  original  plan  of  construction  to 
light  or  ventilation.  At  the  suggestion  of  the  Visiting  Committee 
of  the  last  General  Assembly,  and  in  pursuance  of  instructions 
from  the  Directors,  the  late  Warden  devised  and  executed  a  plan  by 
which  air  is  admitted  to  the  cell-apartments  through  large  pipes  at 
the  bottom  of  and  extending  through  the  walls,  which  makes  the 
condition  of  the  inmates  much  more  tolerable  than  before.  But 
there  is  still  no  means  of  escape  for  the  vitiated  air  from  the  cells, 
except  through  the  door;  this  compels  a  liberal  and  constant  use  of 
disinfectants  in  the  surrounding  halls.  It  is  to  be  hoped  the  Direc- 
tors and  Warden  may  fall  upon  some  plan  for  the  better  ventila- 
tion of  the  apartments. 

There  are  344  cells  in  the  male  department,  and  16  in  the  female, 
making  in  all  360. 

There  were,  December  15,  1868,  405  convicts  in  the  Prison. 

While  the  committee  believe,  with  the  Directors,  that  there  is 
ample  shop-room  now  in  the  institution  for  the  profitable  employ- 
ment of  600  convicts,  they  do  not  believe  the  cell-room  sufficient 
for  so  great  a  number. 


The  committee  find  the  workshops  capacious  and  conveniently 
arranged,  as  well  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  convicts,  as  for 
their  employment  in  the  most  profitable  manner  in  the  various 
manufactures  which  the  contractors  have  introduced,  and  are  now 
successfully  operating. 

The  committee  saw  the  prisoners  at  work,  and  could  see  no  good 
reason  why  their  labor  should  be  so  cheaply  rated,  but  on  the  con- 
trary, think,  with  good  discipline,  it  might  be  advanced  50  if  not 
100  per  cent,  above  what  it  now  commands. 

The  prisoners  are  tasked  according  to  their  capacity.  xA.ny  one 
able  and  willing  to  do  more  than  his  task,  is  allowed  for  his  over- 
\vork  at  the  same  rate  which  is  paid  to  the  State.  At  first  thought 
this  system  vvould  seem  to  be  just,  and  indeed  would  seem  to 
afford  an  incentive  to  the  convict  to  make  an  effort  to  ameliorate 
his  own  condition  in  some  measure,  by  providing  himself  with  such 
little  comforts  and  luxuries  as  could  be  procured  with  the  proceeds 
of  his  overwork.  But  after  consulting  with  the  convicts,  and  with 
gentlemen  experienced  in  prison  discipline,  and  after  a  careful 
investigation  of  the  subject,  the  committee  are  driven  to  the  con- 
clusion that  if  any  task  should  be  imposed,  it  should  be  one  uniform 
task  for  all,  but  they  think  any  task  system  productive  of -discontent 
and  destructive  of  discipline.  The  committee  would  recommend 
that  on  condition  of  the  advance  in  price  of  five  cents  per  day  for 
each  man  employed  by  contractors,  the  task  system  be  abolished, 
and  the  convicts  worked  from  bell  to  bell ;  that  no  contractor  be 
allowed  to  give  tobacco  or  anything  else  to  convicts,  and  that  each 
convict,  at  the  expiration  of  each  week,  on  showing  a  good  record 
for  deportment,  be  allowed  fifty  cents  by  the  Warden,  out  of  the 
proceeds  of  the  Prison,  the  same  to  be  forfeited  for  bad  conduct? 
and  to  go  into  the  State  treasury. 

The  prisoners  are  well  supplied  with  good  and  wholesome  food, 
and  are  well  clothed. 

The  committee  were  well  pleased  with  the  condition  of  the  hos- 
pital and  its  appointments,  better,  perhaps,  than  with  ar.y  other 
part  of  the  institution,  which  fact,  together  with  the  small  number 
of  patients  (six),  and  they  convalescent,  speak  in  such  terms  of 
commendation  of  the  physician,  as  to  render  any  further  mention 
from  the  committee  unnecessary. 

The  committee  paid  their  respects  to  the  Chaplain,  w^hose  sym- 
pathies are  fully  enlisted  in  the  important  work  in  which  he  is 


5 

engaged,  and  no  better  evidence  need  be  given  that  he  practices 
the  Christian  virtues  which  he  recommends  to  those  committed  to 
his  charge,  than  the  patience  and  forbearance  di.xplayed  whih;  exhib- 
iting to  the  committee  the  facilities  afforded  him  in  the  prosecution 
of  his  Jabors,  in  the  shape  of  a  library,  which  is  a  scandal  and  a 
libel  upon  the  liberality  of  the  State.  The  committee  would  most 
earnestly  urge  the  appropriation  of  at  least  81000  to  the  State 
Prison,  South,  for  library  purposes. 

This  amount,  though  a  mere  pittance,  will  give  temporary  relief, 
and  will  form  a  nucleus,  around  which,  it  is  to  be  hoped,  may  be 
gathered  the  proceeds  of  annual  appropriations,  until  a  library  suf- 
ficient for  the  purpose,  and  creditable  to  the  State,  shall  be 
provided. 

Financially,  the  State  Prison  South  has  not  yet  proven  a  suc- 
cess. The  Directors  and  Warden  have  made  an  effort  to  make  it 
self-sustaining.  They  have  reduced  the  expenses  considerably,  and 
are  deserving  of  credit  accordingly.  So  eager  have  they  been  to 
place  the  prison  on  an  independent  footing,  that  they  represent,  in 
their  report,  that  they  have  at  last  reached  the  goal  of  prison  man- 
agement, and  proclaim  the  institution  a  little  more  than  self-sus- 
taining. *  But  the  committee  can  not  get  the  same  result  from  the 
same  figures. 

By  reference  to  the  clerks'3  statement  of  the  amoant  of  assets  over  and  above  liabilities 

Dec.  15,  1867,  the  amount  is  found  to  be „ ?2J.817  80 

Same  statement  for  Dec.  15,  18GS,  shows  amount  of  assets  over  liabilities  to  be 17,846  40 

Showing  a  loss  during  the  year  1868  of. „ 7,971  40 

This  however  does  not  show  the  entire  deficit.  It  will  be  remembered  that  on  the  5th 
page  of  Report  of  Prison  South,  there  is  a  statement  of  bills  rendered  since  the 
close  of  the  fiscal  year,  but  which  properly  belong  in  the  account  of  18GS,  amount- 
ing to 2,733  58 

It  will  also  be  remembered  that  theamoutit  paid  for  permanent  improvement  under  pro- 
test of  Warden,  was  not  suffered  to  enter  into  the  prison  account,  which  amount  was  400  00 

The  contractors  demand  of  the  State  in  addition  to  the  amount  stipulated  and  paid  f^r, 

cost  above  the  amount  received  from  Directors 1,300  00 

Bills  for  lumber  not  reported  till  after  January  1,  and  not   shown  in   prison   account

This  exhibit  is,  by  no  means,  encouraging,  and,  in  fact,  wa-s  ab- 
solutely startling  to  the  committee,  and  in  no  wise,  are  they  able 
to  account  for  it,  save  on  the  ground  of  extravagance  in  purchases 
of  provisions,  medical  stores,  etc.,  and  the  seemingly  unrestricted 
license  given  the  Warden  under  the  head  of  perquisites. 


For  instance,  under  the  latter  head  : 

1.  The  Warden,  has  under  the  sanction  of  custom,  it  is  said, 
boarded  a  number  of  guards,  furnishing  his  table,  in  a  large  meas- 
ure from  provisions  belonging  to  the  prison. 

2.  The  gas  used  for  the  illumination  of  the  Warden's  mansion, 
rand,  perhaps,  in  some  cases,  the  fuel  necessary  for  heating  the 
•samCo 

3.  The  keeping  of  a  number  of  horses  and  cows  at  the  expense 
of  the  State. 

4.  The  services  of  convicts  about  the  Warden's  house  and  sta- 
ble as  servants,  usually  two  men  and  three  women, 

5.  The  offal  from  tlie  prison,  sufficient  to  fat  from  twenty-five 
to  one  hundred  hogs  per  year. 

These  items,  when. considered  separately,  are  by  no  means  incon- 
siderable or  insignificant,  but  when   summed  up,  it  will  not  be  dif- 

vficult  to  account  for  a  large   portion   of  the   deficit   shown  in  the 
.prison  account.     The  law  does  jQot  allow  any  perquisites  to  any 

prison  officer. 

And,  in  this  connection,  the  committee  will  state  that  they  have 
submitted  an  amendment  to  House  bill  No.  217,  which,  if  adopted, 
will  prevent  this  reckless  squandering  cf  the  State  means;  and,  if 
strictly  enforced,  will  make  the  State  Prison  not  only  self-sustain- 
ing, but,  as  claimed  by  the  friends  of  the  bill,  will  make  them  a 
source  of  revenue  to  the  State. 

Very  grave  charges  were  presented  to  the  committee  against 
officers  and  guards  formerly  in  charge  of  the  prison,  of  drunken- 
ness, and  treatment  of  prisoners,  prostitution  of  female  convicts, 
and  demoralization  generally. 

Although  the  parties  charged  were  no  longer  connected  with  the 
iaetitution,  and  were  beyond  removal  or  imipeachment,  yet  the 
committee,  to  satisfy  themselves  in  regard  to  these  alleged  abuses 
and  outrages  upon  humanity,  law  and  order,  caused  witnesses  to 
be  brought  before  them,  to  testify  concerning  the  same.  Loth  as 
the  committee  were  to  believe,  the  evidence  compelled  the  convic- 
tion that  many  of  these  charges  were  true,  though  not  to  the  extent 
alleo-ed  in  the  exaggerated  report  which  has  found  its  way  into  the 
newspapers.  There  is  no  proof  in  the  evidence  justifying  the  state- 
ment that  convicts  have  died  from  the  effects  of  whipping.  That 
cruel  punishments  have  been  inflicted,  there  is  no  doubt. 

The  Committee  most  earnestly  commend  to  the  favorable  con- 


sideration  of  the  House,  the  proposition  urged  by  the  Governor  and 
by  the  people,  for  the  erection  of  separate  buildings  suitable  for  the 
imprisonment  of  females. 

Justice,  humanity,  and  the  higher  sentiments  of  our  civilization 
demand  that  this  be  done. 

The  Committee  would  take  this  opportunity  to  make  honorable 
mention  of  Col.  Shuler,  the  present  Warden.  The  wonderful 
changes  wrought  in  the  short  space  of  a  few  weeks,  in  the  general 
morals  of  all  confined  in,  or  connected  with,  the  prison ;  the  uni- 
versal expression  of  satisfaction  of  both  convicts  and  contractors ; 
the  entire  absence  of  complaint,  and  the  greatly  improved  discip- 
line and  order  manifest  in  every  department,  mark  him  as  a  man 
preeminently  fitted  for  the  place. 

The  committee  will  now  call  attention  to  the  condition  of  affairs 
at  the  State  Prison  North.  They  found  this  prison  in  splendid 
condition.  No  time  need  be  occupied  in  speaking  of  the  build- 
ings and  their  admirable  appointments.  The  convicts  were  in  good 
health,  well  fed,  well  clothed,  and  as  cheerful  as  men  could  be  ex- 
pected to  be  in  ar  penitentiay. 

The  Warden  is  an  able  and  efficient  officer.  The  Directors 
have  evidently  looked  after  the  interests  of  the  State  more  sharply 
than  has  heretofore  been  the  custom  of  prison  directors.  But  the 
committee  must  make  the  same  suggestion  to  the  directojs  North, 
as  has  already  been  made  to  those  South,  viz :  That  the  law  con- 
templates no  perquisites  of  any  description  whatever,  to  any  one. 

The  practice  of  appropriating  the  offal:  using  State  property  for 
private  purposes,  to-wit ;  occupation  of  house  belonging  to  State 
by  a  guard,  and  using  it  as  a  boarding  house  for  other  guards, 
without  paying  the  State  rent  therefor,  &c,,  &c.,  prevail  at  the 
Prison  North  as  well  as  at  the  Prison  South. 

The  prison  has  no  library,  and  needs  an  appropriation  therefor. 

On  return  of  the  committee  from  the  Prison  North,  a  communi- 
cation was  found  in  waiting,  from  Col.  J.  B.  Merriwether,  of  Jef- 
fersonville,  making  some  charges  against  F.  M.  Meredith  and  M. 
P.  Ghee,  Directors  of  the  State  Prison  South.  The  charges  were 
new  to  the  committee,  not  having  been  presented  during  their  visit 
to  said  prison.  Ascertaining  that  the  Senate  Committee  were  at 
the  Prison  South,  it  was  thought  advisable  to  await  their  return. 
Immediately  on  the  return  of  the  Senate  Committee,  a  resolution 
was  introduced  in  each  House,  authorizing  a  sub-committee  from 


8 

each  to  re-visit  the  prison,  and  investigate  further  into  the  affairs 
of  the  same.  The  House  sub-committee,  Messrs.  Davis,  Field 
End  Cory,  being  unable  to  go  at  the  time  fixed  by  the  Senate 
committee,  the  Chairman  of  the  House  committee  and  Mr.  B- 
F.  Williams,  of  the  House,  at  the  request  of  the  Chairman,  ac- 
companied the  Senate  Committee.  They  met  two  of  the  directors 
at  Jeffersonville,  Mr.  Ferrier,  director  for  last  year,  and  Mr.  Mere- 
dith and  his  attorney.  The  committee  found  the  charges  as  set 
forth  in  Colonel  Merriwether's  testimony.,  were  substantially  as 
follows : 

1.  That  said  F.  M.  Meredith  and  M.  P.  Ghee,  while  Directors 
of  the  State  Prison  South,  did  demand  of,  and  receive  from,  Col. 
J.  B.  Merriwether,  various  amounts  at  various  times,  amounting  in 
all  to  ^750  each,  for  the  privilege  of  being  retained  as  Warden  in 
said  prison. 

2.  That  said  Meredith  and  Ghee  received  from  contractors  various 
amounts  of  money,  for  the  exercise  of  their  official  authority. 

3.  That  the  said  F.  M.  Meredith,  while  Director  of  said  prison, 
did  engage  himself  to  one  Jno.  L.  Mathews,  a  convict  in  said 
prison,  to  procure  a  pardon  for  said  Mathews,  for  and  in  consider- 
ation of  a  fee,  stipulated  to  be  paid  him  (Meredith)  by  said  Jno. 
L.  Mathews. 

The  committee  caused  a  number  of  witnesses  to  be  brought  before 
them  to  testify  to  the  above  charges,  and  allowed  the  directors  an 
opportunity  to  be  heard  in  their  defense. 

After  carefully  weighing  ail  the  evidence,  and  listening  to  the 
argument  of  the  attorney  for  the  defense,  the  two  committees  were 
unanimous  in  the  opinion  that  the  charges  were,  in  the  main,  sus- 
tained by  the  evidence,  which  is  herewith  submitted;  and  the  com- 
mittee are,  therefore,  unanimous  in  the  opinion  that  said  F.  M. 
Meredith  and  M.  P.  Ghee  ought  to  be  removed  for  the  misde- 
meanors committed  in  office.

TESTIMONY    OF    J.    B.    MERRIWETHER. 

Ill  the  spring  of  1867,  shortly  after  the  adjournment  of  the  Legis- 
lature, either  in  the  latter  part  of  March,  or  the  early  part  of  April, 
IVIr.  Ghee  and  Mr.  Meredith  visited  the  Prison  together.  After 
examining  the  Prison  laws,  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  what 
officers  they  had  the  right  to  appoint,  and  also  making  inquiries  as 
to  the  time  the  terms  of  some  of  the  officers  expired,  they  seemed 
surprised  that  the  power  of  appointing  officers  was  so  limited.  At 
that  time  they  only  had  the  appointment  of  Chaplain  and  Physi- 
cian. The  law  in  reference  to  appointing  the  Warden  was  dis- 
cussed, and  also  their  power  to  dismiss  him  for  cause — they  holding 
that  any  cause  which  they  might  assign  would  be  sufficient. 
During  this  conversation  between  us  three,  Mr.  Ghee  spoke  of  the 
salary  of  Director  as  very  meager,  hardly  sufficient  to  pay  the 
traveling  expenses  to  and  from  the  Prison.  I  do  not  know  whether 
Mr.  Merriwether  (Meredith)  was  present  or  not.  Mr.  Ghee  said  he 
had  been  informed  that  large  amounts  of  money  had  hitherto  been 
made  by  Directors  who  had  received  it  from  the  Warden  and  con- 
tractors; that  his  friends  had  told  him  that  he  was  very  foolish  if, 
in  the  four  years  of  his  term  as  Director,  he  would  not  make  a 
competency  for  himself  and  family;  that  he  was  poor  and  intended 
to  do  it;  but  at  the  same  time  he  wanted  it  understood  that  he 
would  do  nothing  that  would  militate  against  the  interests  of  the 
State;  that  money  could  be  made  without  afTecting  the  State,  and 
that  he  intended  to  make  it.  During  the  conversation,  a  remark 
was  made  by  one,  (think  it  was  Meredith,  but  am  not  certain,)  that 
Colonel  Shuler  would  give  $2,000,  when  the  other  said  that  some 
man  in  Indianapolis  would  give  $4,000,  and  they  wanted  me  to 
think  over  the  matter,  and  see  what  I  could  do;  that  they  preferred 
I  should  remain.  Mr.  Ghee  would  probably  recommend  his  nephew 
for  Clerk,  while  Meredith  wanted  his  father-in-law  for  a  position — 
probably  Deputy  Warden.  In  a  few  days  after  going  home,  Mr. 
Meredith  wrote  me  that  his  father-in-law  did  not  want  the  position. 

After  thinking  the  matter  over,  and  consulting  with  friends,  I 
proposed  to  give  them  8250  per  year  each.  They  accepted  the 
proposition,  and  it  was  understood  that  I  should  remain  here  so 
long  as  they  could  keep  me. 

Under  that  arrangement  I  sent  them  money,  generally  by  ex- 
press.    I  have  not  kept  a  regular  account,  but  think  I  have  sent 


10 

them  about  8750  each.  They  frequently  wrote  me  for  money,  and 
I  sent  it  to  them.  I  am  not  certain  that  I  have  any  of  those  let- 
ters— may  have  two  or  three.  I  have  letters  acknowledging  the 
receipt  of  money.  Some  of  their  letters  asUed  in  substance,  "Can 
you  let  me  have  a  certain  sum  of  money  by  such  a  time,"  naming 
amount  and  date.  One  letter  from  Mr.  Meredith  asked  for  the 
loan  of  f  200.  The  letters  were  written  as  if  asking  for  loans  or 
favors.  I  think  I  always  met  every  demand  made,  perhaps  not 
always  at  the  exact  date.  I  generally  had  the  $250  paid  before 
the  year  expired.  None  of  the  money  so  paid  by  me  was  ever  re- 
paid. 

On  the  31st  of  December,  1868,  Mr.  Meredith  took  me  aside,  and 
said  he  did  not  want  something  for  nothing,  and  he  intended  to  re- 
turn me  the  money  paid  to  him.  He  was  going  that  day  to  Indian- 
apolis, and  would  draw  his  quarter's  salary,  and  perhaps  borrow^ 
from  his  friends,  and  would  then  repay  the  money  to  me.  This 
was  on  the  last  day  of  my  Wardenship.  My  idea  was  that  he  did 
not  intend  to  repay  all  the  money  to  me  at  that  time.  I  think  he 
meant  to  repay  me  over  $200  at  that  time.  He  has  not  repaid  me 
anything.  That  was  the  last  time  we  had  any  conversation  in 
reference  to  money,  and  we  have  had  no  correspondence  on  the 
subject.  I  never  expected  any  part  of  the  money  to  be  returned, 
but  considered  those  payments  as  carrying  out  the  original  arrange- 
ment. There  was  nothing  said  about  interest  in  connection  with 
the  money  so  paid  by  me.  A  portion  of  the  money  so  paid  by  me 
was  paid  me  voluntarily  by  employees  of  the  Prison;  do  not  know 
the  exact  amount,  but  think  it  did  not  exceed  ^150 — may  have  run 
to  8200. 

Mr.  Ghee  was  here  at  one  time  and  wanted  -SIOO.  I  went  with 
him  to  Vannoy,  the  Hospital  Steward,  and  asked  him  to  let  me 
have  $100  for  Mr.  Ghee.  Vannoy  said  this  demand  was  too  much 
for  me  to  bear,  and  proposed  that  he  and  others  about  the  Prison 
should  pay  a  portion  of  it.  Mr.  Van  Pelt  also  paid  something  to 
Vannoy,  who  accounted  to  me  for  it.  Falkner  paid  me  about  840 
or  850.  All  this  is  included  in  the  8150  or  8200  paid  me  by  em- 
ployees. In  one  instance,  in  September  or  October,  1868,  after 
Vannoy  w^as  discharged  from  the  position  of  Hospital  Steward, 
Mr.  Ghee  told  me  that  if  I  w^ould  take  Vannoy  back  again,  he 
(Ghee)  could  make  $200,  and  proposed  to  divide  it  with  me.  I 
declined  to  re-appoint  him. 


11 

I  do  not  know  that  contractors  ever  paid  any  money  to  secure 
contracts.  I  know  of  money  having  been  paid  by  A.  W.  Hall,  but 
don't  know  for  what  purpose.     In  April  or  June,  1867,  I  think  in 

June,  at  the  time  the  last  contracts  were  given  to 

theirs  being  the  highest  bid  for  convict  labor,  at  fifty  cents  per  day, 
I  ought  to  have  had  the  bids  refused  on  the  ground  that  I,  in  con- 
versation with  leading  members  of  both  firms,  but  principally  J.  S. 
Hall,  had  inferred  that  in  case  of  conflict  they  would  give  more,  as 
high  as  sixty  or  sixty-five  cents  ])er  day.  The  bids  at  fifty  cents 
were  accepted. 

Subsequently  I  received  a  letter  from  Mr.  Meredith,  stating  that 
his  property  had  been  levied  upon  for  a  security  debt,  and  wanted 
me  to  raise  -SoOO  for  him.  His  idea  was  that  I  should  see  Hall — 
he  did  not  say  which  one.  I  showed  the  letter  to  A.  W.  Hall,  ask- 
ing him  if  we  could  not  do  something  for  Meredith.  We  got  into 
Hall's  buggy,  and  went  to  the  Second  National  Bank,  and  made  a 
bill  for  8500.  I  forget  whether  I  was  drawer  or  acceptor.  We 
drew  the  ^500  on  it,  and  went  to  the  Express  office.  Captain  Hall 
remained  in  the  bugo^y;  I  got  out  and  expressed  the  money  to 
Meredith.  Subsequently,  (not  certain  of  the  date),  when  Ghee 
was  visiting  the  Prison,  at  the  request  of  A.  W.  Hall,  I  paid  Ghee 
$250,  Hall  telling  me  that  it  would  be  repaid  in  a  few  days.  I  have 
talked  with  both  the  Halls  in  reference  to  the  money  paid  by  them 
to  Meredith  and  Ghee.  My  recollection  is  that  they  spoke  of  hav- 
ing paid  them  $500.  I  only  know  of  8250  being  paid  to  each,  as 
I  have  before  stated.  Of  the  $500  obtained  from  Bank  and  sent 
by  Express,  $250  was  on  my  own  account,  and  8250  on  A.  W. 
Hall's.  A  few  days  before  the  maturity  of  said  bill,  I  paid  8250 
into  Bank,  and  not  having  since  heard  from  it,  suppose  the  re- 
mainder is  also  paid. 

At  the  time  that  Hall,  Miller  and  B proposed  to  construct 

the  new  shop  on  the  east  side  of  the  prison,  the  question  arose  in 
the  Board  of  Directors  whether  the  State  should  pay  $4,000  ac- 
cording to  that  proposition.  I  protested  against  the  appropriation 
of  the  money.  During  the  conversation  that  arose  from  the  matter, 
I  desired  to  enter  my  protest  on  the  journal,  and  also  on  my  annual 
report.  To  that  no  objection  was  made.  Mr.  Ferrier  was  not 
present.  They  said  I  could  make  my  protest  as  I  pleased,  but  that 
I  ought  not  to  try  to  prevent  them  from  making  something.  My 
protest  was  not  entered  on  the  journal,  owing  to  an  oversight  on 


12 

my  part,  but  my  annual  report  shows  that  I  did  protest  against  the 
payment.     The  warrant  was  afterwards  made  by  me,  and  given  to 

Hall,  Miller  and  B .     It  was  not  approved  at  the  time  I  gave 

it  to  them.  That  84,000  was  not  taken  in  the  Prison  accounts. 
The  84,000  would  not  have  paid  for  the  building.  The  building 
cost  about  81,300  more  than  was  paid  for  it.  My  objection  to  the 
appropriation  was  that  it  was  a  misappropriation  of  the  funds 
appropriated  by  the  Legislature  for  the  Prison.  The  necessities  of 
the  Prison  did  not  demand  an  extension  of  the  buildings,  but  it 
added  to  the  convenience  and  health  of  the  Prison.  There  was 
nothing  in  the  contracts  requiring  the  State  to  build  the  shops.  I 
regard  it  as  a  good  investment  for  the  State. 

Mr.  Ferrier  was  not  present  at  any  time  when  the  understanding 
was  had  in  regard  to  the  payment  of  the  sums  to  retain  me  in  office, 
and  I  do  not  know  that  he  ever  knew  anything  of  it. 

CROSS    EXAMINED. 

Question.  Are  you  not  a  lawyer,  and  did  you  not  know  that  the 
Directors  could  not  remove  you  except  for  good  cause,  to  be  entered 
on  the  journals? 

Anstoer.  I  am  a  lawyer  by  profession ;  have  been  out  of  prac- 
tice since  1861 ;  had  practiced  six  years ;  it  was  my  opinion  that 
they  could  not  turn  me  out  except  for  good  cause  sliown ;  I  con- 
tended that  that  was  the  proper  construction  of  the  statute;  they 
contended  differently. 

Ques.  Did  Vannoy,  the  Hospital  Steward,  file  the  charges  now 
shown  you,  against  you;  and  did  you  not  resign,  while  these 
charges  were  in  the  hands  of  the  Directors,  to  escape  a  trial  on 
^hem? 

Ans.  I  don't  know  who  filed  the  charges,  except  from  what  was 
told  me  of  their  being  filed.  I  resigned  after  they  were  filed,  be- 
cause I  was  told  by  Mr.  Ghee  that  if  I  did  so  the  charges  would 
be  suppressed.  The  charges  were  discussed  by  Mr.  Ghee,  Mr. 
Meredith,  and  myself.  I  admitted  to  them  those  that  were  true, 
and  denied  those  that  were  false;  and  then  Mr.  Ghee  proposed 
that  T  should  resign,  and  the  charges  should  be  suppressed.  I  ad- 
mitted none  to  the  extent  they  are  charged,  except  the  one  that 


13 

charged  drunkenness.  I  don't  remember  that  I  ever  made  an  entry 
of  punishment.  It  was  the  duty  of  the  officer  who  inflicted  the 
punishment  to  report  it  to  the  Clerk,  who  made  an  entry  of  it.  I 
think  for  the  two  years  last  past  that  I  have  not  inflicted  punish- 
ment. It  was  generally  done  by  the  Deputy  Warden  and  the  first 
officer  at  the  door;  but  when  I  was  about  the  Prison,  it  was  always 
done  by  my  order. 

Ques.  Did  you  not  admit  to  the  Directors  that  you  had  been 
euiltv  of  sexual  intercourse  with  the  female  convicts  in  the  Prison? 

Ans.  I  admitted  that  I  had  sexual  intercourse  with  female  con- 
victs on  two  occasions  when  I  was  tipsy  and  influenced  by  others, 
and  only  to  that  extent,  and  that  before  they  were  Directors. 

Ques.  When  the  charges  were  preferred  against  you,  did  you 
not  ofler  Mr.  Meredith  and  Mr.  Ghee  each  8500,  and  Ferrier  8600, 
if  they  would  try  the  charges  without  swearing  the  witnesses;  and 
did  they  not  refuse  your  offer  ? 

Ans.  I  offered  Meredith  and  Ghee  each  8500,  and  Ferrier  8400, 
if  they  would  try  the  case  without  swearing  the  witnesses.  I  offered 
Meredith  and  Ghee  first.  I  afterwards  became  satisfied  that  Mer- 
edith had  something  else  in  view,  and  would  not  do  it.  I  spoke  to 
Mr.  Ghee  about  it,  and  he  told  me  that  if  I  could  secure  Mr.  Fer- 
rier, that  it  would  be  all  that  would  be  necessary,  and  then  it  was 
that  I  made  the  offer  to  Mr.  Ferrier.  Ferrier  and  Meredith  both 
refused. 

Ques.  Did  you  not  say  to  J.  S.  Hall,  in  the  office  of  Hall,  Sam- 
ple &  Co.,  the  day  after  Mr.  Curry  was  nominated,  that  you  had 
ground  Ferrier  out,  and  now  all  you  wanted  was  to  get  Meredith 
and  Ghee  out;  and  did  you  not  tell  Dr.  Moore  the  same  thing 
about  the  same  time  at  the  prison? 

Ans.  I  did  not  say  so  to  Hall.  I  said  that  I  had  succeeded  in 
beating  FeiTier,  and  that  I  now  would  try  to  beat  Meredith  and 
Ghee.     I  don't  remember  telling  Dr.  Moore  anything  about  it. 

Ques.  Did  you  board  the  Prison  Guards  while  Warden,  and  if 
so,  how  many  on  average  did  you  board? 


14 

Ans.  I  boarded  from  six  to  seven  Guards  on  an  average.  My 
boarders  numbered  from  eight  to  nine  in  addition  to  my  family  and 
servants. 

Qiies.  Did  you  not  get  corn,  corn  meal,  beans,  vinegar,  potatoes 
and  other  articles  of  supply  for  your  table,  out  of  the  Prison  stores 
without  charging  yourself  for  them  ?  And  did  you  not  drink  the 
whisky  you  purchased  for  Hospital  stores,  or  a  great  part  of  it, 
yourself. 

Ans.  Yes  Sir.  I  found  it  the  practice  before  I  came,  and  con- 
tinued it  with  the  knowlege  of  the  Directors. 

Ques.  Did  not  John  Campbell,  a  convict ;  die  on  the  evening  or 
night  of  the  day  you  caused  him  to  be  whipped;  and  how  many 
lashes  did  he  receive,  was  it  not  fifty  ? 

Ans.  I  don't  remember  the  day  he  died.  I  never  gave  a  man 
fifty  lashes ;  I  don't  remember  how"  many  lashes  I  gave  him  ;  I  re- 
member he  was  whipped  once. 

Ques.  Was  the  8500  which  you  and  Captain  Hall  got  from 
Bank,  the  first  money  Meredith  got;  and  was  that  in  July  1867; 
and  was  it  got  on  a  letter  Meredith  wrote  to  you;  and  was  it  sent 
by  Express  to  Terre  Haute;  how  long  before  he  got  more,  and 
how  much  ;  state  each  time  and  the  amounts  as  near  as  you  can  re- 
member, and  also  if  he  ever  got  any  money  on  application  to  you 
in  person,  and  if  so,  how  much  ? 

Ans.  I  think  probably  it  was.  It  was  in  July,  I  think.  He  may 
have  received  money  before  that.  I  don't  remember  of  his  getting 
any  on  personal  application.  He  may  have  gotten  it,  I  don't  re- 
member. I  can't  produce  his  letters,  they  are  all  destroyed.  All 
the  money  I  sent  was  by  Express.  I  don't  know  of  any  applica- 
tian  for  money  but  what  I  met.  I  sent  8100,  March  7th,  1868, 
then  August  6th,  1868,  $50  more.  Meredith  wrote  for  8200  which 
I  think  I  sent  him. 

Ques.  You  say  you  consulted  with  your  friends  and  concluded 
to  give  Meredith  and  Ghee  8250  each,  and  they  accepted  your 
proposition.  State  when  and  where  you  (made)  the  proposition 
to  Meredith,  and  when  and  where  he  accepted  it  ? 


15 

Arts.  I  won't  say  that  I  made  any  proposition  to  Meredith  at  all. 
My  recollection  is  that  my  proposition  was  made  to  Mr.  Ghee.  It 
was  on  their  first  visit  to  the  Prison. 

Ques,  Was  any  other  person  present  than  Meredith,  Ghee,  and 
yourself  when  they  told  you  that  you  ought  not  to  refuse  to  sign 
the  warrant,  and  prevent  them  from  making  something,  and  which 
one  of  them  said  this  ? 

Ans.  No  one  else  was  present.  It  was  said  in  the  presence  of 
both.     I  don't  know  which  one  said  it. 

Ques.  Have  you  ever  seen  Mr.  Meredith  or  Ghee  drunk? 

Ans'  1  have  never  seen  Mr.  Meredith  or  IV'Ii'.  Ghee  so  far  influ- 
enced by  liquor  during  business  hours  as  to  unfit  them  for  busi- 
ness. I  have  seen  them  when  they  had  been  drinking,  but  never 
enough  to  unfit  them  for  business.  I  have  known  them  to  be  in- 
toxicated on  two  or  three  occasions  after  the  adjournment  of  the 
Board. 

Ques.  Did  you  ever  know  of  any  Director  having  illicit  inter- 
course with  female  convicts? 

Ans.  I  never  have.  I  never  saw  either  of  them  before  they  were 
appointed.     I  desire  to  disconnect  them  with  this  matter  entirely. 

Ques.  Do  you  know  of  any  one  now  connected  with  the  Prison 
ever  having  such  intercourse  with  female  convicts? 

Ans.  Not  to  my  knowledge. 

(A  letter  from  Mr.  Ghee,  dated  June  5th,  1867,  was  here  intro- 
duced as  evidence,  and  is  herewith  attached,  marked  "  A.") 

Ques.  State  what  was  the  nature  of  the  communication  to 
Ghee,  whidi  is  referred  to  in  this  letter? 

Ans.  It  was  a  remittance  of  money  to  him. 

Ques.  Do  you  remember  the  amount  of  money  sent  at  that 
time? 

Ans.  I  do  Hot  ? 


16 

Ques.  Did  this  letter  have  any  influence  in  causing  you  to  send 
the  $500  in  July,  a  few  days  after. 

Ans.  It  did  not.  I  understand  the  meaning  of  the  underscoring 
in  the  letter  to  mean  whether  I  had  made  a  remittance  to  Meredith, 
as  well  as  to  Mr.  Ghee.  I  had  promised  that  I  would  give  him 
#250  by  the  13th  of  August,  which  I  think  was  the  regular  meet- 
ing of  the  Board,  and  he  would  be  here  at  that  time  to  receive  it. 
This  was  what  he  (meant)  by  his  letter  of  July  4th.  I  understood 
that  the  money  I  promised  him  on  the  13th  of  August,  was  the 
amount  I  had  promised  to  pay  him  under  the  original  agreement, 
and  I  did  not  consider  it  a  loan.  I  furnished  the  money,  in  accord- 
ance with  his  request,  earlier  than  August  13th.  I  borrowed  the 
money  from  Mr.  Glass,  one  of  the  Guards. 

There  was  no  arrangement  of  words,  signs,  or  figures,  between 
the  Directors  and  myself,  to  be  used  in  our  transactions.  I  have 
never  received  any  interest  on  any  of  the  sums  of  money  given 
them. 

JOSEPH   W. VANNOY. 

Reside  in  JefTersonville  ;  am  not  connected  with  the  Prison  now, 
but  for  the  two  and  one-half  years  w"as  Hospital  Steward ;  was 
guard  previous  to  that  time ;  came  in  April,  1869 ;  can^t  say  that 
I  was  ever  taxed  to  keep  position  ;  it  cost  me  money  occasionally ; 
paid  it  by  agreement  with  Col.  Merriwether;  paid  §20  per  month 
for  position  as  Sutler;  all  I  made  above  820  I  kept  myself;  I  paid 
813  per  month  when  I  first  became  Hospital  Steward,  to  pay  some 
old  account;  I  was  getting  860  per  month;  Ferrier,  Wright  and 
Green  were  Directors  when  I  first  came ;  I  understood  the  old  ac- 
count was  $5,000,  to  be  paid  to  one  of  the  Directors  who  was  out 
of  office ;  I  made  $3  per  hundred  on  loaves  of  bread ;  I  paid  7c. 
and  received  10c. ;  made  about  the  same  on  cakes  and  molasses ; 
I  sold  no  candies ;  I  sold  at  about  the  retail  prices  up  town ;  sold 
candles,  stationery,  &c. ;  could  not  sell  liquors  ;  the  prisoners  fur- 
nish their  own  light  in  cells ;  the  gas  is  not  sufficient  to  read  by ; 
these  things  were  paid  for  out  of  the  overwork ;  I  know  that  two 
guards  paid  $10  per  month  to  retain  their  positions ;  I  collected 
810  per  month  from  one  of  them  myself,  and  paid  it  to  Col  Merri- 
wether ;  the  other  $10  per  month  passed  through  the  Deputy  War- 


17 

deti^s  hands;  last  March  Col.  Merri wether  came  to  me  and  asked 
me  if  I  had  any  money;  he  borrowed  8100  from  me  March  27, 
1868,  and  sent  it  by  express  to  Mi^redith ;  I  placed  it  in  the  express 
oiiice  myself. 

X^ues.    State  what  Col.  Merriwether  said  when  he  got  the  money 
from  yon. 

Ans,  He  said  Ire  had  to  pay  money  to  the  Directors ;  Col.  Mer- 
riwether repaid  the  8100  he  borrowed  from  me;  I  know  of  no 
money  having  been  paid  to  the  Direct'ors  by  contractors ;  do  not 
know  of  Col.  Shuler  having  paid  any  money  to  get  the  position  of 
Warden  ;  about  two  months  ago,  when  I  went  to  see  Mr.  Ghee 
about  the  charges  "which  I  preferred  against  Merriwether,  he  told 
me  he  wouid  get  81,500  from  soti^e  person  for  the  place  of  War- 
den ;  he  did  not  give  the  name ;  did  not  say  who  he  was  tx)  vote 
for;  he  said  he  had  never  i<€en  him;  this  was  before  tlie  election; 
Mr.  Meridith  Was  also  to  get  81.^00  from  the  same  person  ;  I  spent 
one  Sunday  at  Vincennes  with  Mr.  Ghee,  and  we  talked  about 
prison  matters;  I  spoke  of  Mr.  AUoway  as  candidate  for  Warden; 
Mr.  Ghee  told  me  a  man  had  offered  him  81,590,  and  if  Mr.  AUo- 
way would  giv-e  §1,600  he  might  get  his  vote;  these  things  I  don't 
like  to  tell ;  I  v/as  pledged  not  to  tell,  and  would  not  tell  them  now 
if  I  was  not  forced  to;  I  w?..s  not  sent  to  buy  any  vote  for  any  one, 
but  went  to  electioneer  for  Mr.  Alloway;  Mr.  AUoway  did  not  send 
me;  I  gave  the  pledge  to  Mr.  Ghee  in  his  house;  I  was  not  au- 
thorized by  any  one  to  make  any  offer  for  the  place;  I  went  to 
prefer  charges  against  Col.  Merriwether;  Mr,  Alloway  had  not 
offered  or  authorized  me  to  offer  any  money  for  the  plaee ;  Mr. 
Ghee  asked  me  what  it  was  to  me  who  was  Warden ;  I  told  him 
I  wanted  a  situation  ;  he  asked  me  if  I  wanted  to  be  Deputy  War- 
den ;  I  told  him  I  wanted  to  be  Hospital  Steward ;  Mr.  Ghee  pro- 
mised me  that  no  matter  who  was  Warden  i  should  have  my  old 
place  again;  when  I  came  back  Mr^  Alloway  declined  the  place; 
I  urged  him  to  give  the  81,600  for  it;  I  have  not  had  any  conver- 
sation with  Mr.  Ghee  since  that  about  the  Wardenship,  a«d  I  don't 
know  whether  the  person  who  offered  the  81,500  got  the  place  or 
not;  Ghee  said  Meredith  v^as  the  man  through  whom  the  proposi- 
tion ^aine  to  him,  and  that  Meredith  had  been  to  see  the  man  ,a 
few  days  before  1  was  there ;  it  was  then  the  last  Sunday  before 
R.  C.  8.  P.  S.— '.^— D.  J.— 13 


1^ 

the  Board  met  to  try  Merriwether  on  the  charges ;  I  saw  Mr,  Mere- 
dith  a  little  tight  once  when  he  was  at  the  Prison;  Mr.  Meredith 
once  visited  the  female  department  about  nine  o'clock  at  nighty 
he  went  to  call  on  the  Matron,  who  had  a  room  in  the  female  de- 
partment; I  know  he  called  on  the  Matron;  I  did  n€?t  go  with  him; 
I  rapped  at  the  door  and  the  Matron  came  to  the  head  of  the  stairs^ 
and  Mr.  Meredith  went  up;  the  doors  were  open  that  night;  some- 
times  the  doors  of  that  department  were  open  until  ten  o'elocky 
when  she  was  onr ;  the  general  reputation  of  the  Matron  is  good; 
it  is  a  general  thing,  I  belicTe,  for  the  Directors  to  pay  their  respects 
to  the  Matron;  I  don't  know  of  any  of  the  Directors  ever  having 
anything  to  do  with  the  female  convicts;  don't  remember  of  Mr. 
Ghee  ever  visiting  the  Prison  except  at  the  regular  meetings  of  the 
Board:  at  one  time  there  was  much  talk  of  the  guards  having  con- 
nection with  the  female  convicts;  1  do  not  know  much  about  it; 
some  of  the  female  prisoners  have  contracted  venerial  diseases  after 
they  came  to  Prison,  at  least  they  were  there  sometime  before  they 
needed  medicine,  Meredith  and  Ghee  lived  a  long  way  off,  and  I 
don't  know  of  either  of  them  coming  between  the  regular  meeting* 
of  the  Board;  Ferrier  came  pretty  often. 

Ques.  Did  you  tell  Merriwether  that  he  had  to  pay  too  much 
to  the  Directors,  and  proposed  that  the  others — you  among  them — - 
should  pay  a  portion  of  it  at  a  time  when  he  was  getting  money 
for  Ghee  from  you? 

Ans.  We  told  him  at  one  time  that  if  his  expenses  w^ere  too- 
heavy,  we  would  help  bim  out.  1  jdon't  remember  of  his  ever  get' 
ting  money  for  Ghee. 

Ques.  Did  you  file  the  charges  against  Merriweather,  and  do 
you  know  them  to  be  true  ? 

The  following'  charges  are  preferred  against  James  B.  Merriwether^ 

Warden  Indiana  State  Prison^  South : 

Charge  1.  Drunkenness  during  business  hours,  and  causing 
whisky  to  be  drank  inside  the  prison  walls,  which  is  a  violation  of 
prison  rules. 

Charge  2.  The  inhuman  treatment  of  Pleasant  Hill,  a  convict 
in  the  Indiana  State  Prison  South,  on  November  2,  1868y  by  order- 


19 

ing  him  fifty  stripes  with  the  cats,  for  the  small  offense  of  stealing 
four  or  five  biscuit  and  a  small  piece  of  meat  from  the  Warden's 
house,  compelling  Hill  to  tell  three  or  four  different  stories  about 
it ;  he,  said  Merriwether  being  intoxicated  at  the  time  the  punish- 
ment was  ordered;  giving  Hill  fifty-one  stripes,  and  only  entering 
twenty  on  the  Punishment  Journal. 

Charge  3.  The  inhuman  treatment  of  James  Hudsor),  a  convict 
in  said  prison,  on  the  31st  day  of  October,  1868,  by  ordering  him 
fifteen  stripes.  The  thirteenth  stripe  Hudson  complained  of  being 
j-ick,  the  fourteenth  stripe,  fainted,  and  was  struck  the  fifteenth 
while  lying  on  the  floor  unconscious;  he,  James  B.  Merriwether, 
being  intoxicated  at  the  time  said  punishment  was  inflicted,  and 
not  entering  it  on  the  Punishment  Journal. 

Charge  4.  The  inhuman  treatment  of  William  Randal,  a  con- 
vict in  said  prison,  in  the  latter  part  of  1867,  for  nothing,  by  inflict- 
ing on  him  a  severe  punishment;  he,  James  B.  Merriwether  being 
intoxicated  at  the  time  said  punishment  was  inflicted,  and  not 
entering  it  on  the  Punishment  Journal. 

Charge  5.  The  inhuman  and  brutal  treatment  of  John 
Williamson,  alias  John  Campbell,  a  convict  in  said  prison,  on  or 
about  the  22d  day  of  October,  1867,  by  inflicting  on  him  an  out- 
rageous whipping,  for  nothing  whatever;  he,  Williamson,  having 
to  be  helped  to  the  hospital  from  the  cell-house,  and  died  the  same 
day  he  was  booked  in  hospital  by  the  physician ;  he,  James  Merri- 
wether, being  intoxicated  at  the  time  the  punishment  was  inflicted^, 
and  not  entering  it  on  the  Punishment  Journal,  showing  the  great 
injustice  done  the  prisoner,  and  gross  neglect  of  duty  of  the 
Warden. 

Charge  6.  That  he,  James  B.  Merriwether,  ordered  J.  K.  Faui- 
coner  to  go  into  the  female  department,  and  bring  convict  women 
down  in  the  prison  yard  at  night. 

Charge  7.  That  he,  James  B.  Merriwether,  ha^  ordered  other 
officers  of  the  prison  to  go  in  the  female  department,  and  bring  out 
female  convicts  for  him. 

Charge  8.  By  requiring  guards  to  pay  him  sums  of  money  for 
their  situations. 


20 

Charge  9.  That  he,  James  B.  Merrivvether,  has  been  so  drunk 
inside  the  prison  walls,  during  business  hoar  ,  that  when  a  guard 
brought  a  convict  up  before  him,  to  report  lor  violation  of  prison 
rules,  that  he  was  incapable  of  attending  to  his  business,  as  the 
law  requires. 

JOSEPH  W.  VANNOY. 

Ans.     I  filed  them,  and  know  them  to  be  true. 

Ques.  State  the  circumstances  of  the  whipping  and  death  of 
Campbell. 

Ans.  I  don't  think  any  person  knows  the  number  of  lashes  he 
received.  He  worked  in  cell-house,  carrying  water  and  other 
things.  The  morning  after  the  whipping,  I  saw  him;  he  was  very 
much  hurt,  and  said  he  wished  he  had  died  when  he  was  young; 
said  he  thought  he  would  die.  He  was  helped  to  the  hospital  by  a 
convict,  and  died  the  next  day.  Merriwether  whipped  him  some, 
and  Faulkner  whipped  him  some.  His  back  was  badly  cut  up. 
Merriwether  had  been  drinking,  and  thought  Campbell  had  whisky, 
and  whipped  him  to  make  him  fell  when  he  got  it.  I  don't  think 
he  had  anything  like  erysipelas.  The  punishment  was  not  entered 
upon  the  record.  I  think  if  he  had  not  received  such  a  whipping, 
he  would  not  have  died  at  the  time.  He  died  October  24,  1867. 
It  was  talked  about  at  the  time  as  a  severe  whipping.  Merriwether 
did  not  often  do  the  whipping,  he  ordered  it  done.  I  did  not  report 
the  whipping  to  the  Directors.  I  never  knew  any  one  connected 
with  the  prison  to  report  to  the  Directors;  they  believed  it  equiva- 
lent to  having  their  ''heads  cut  off,"  to  report  anything  of  that  sort, 
after  McKenney  left. 

Ques.  Are  you  acquainted  with  Merri wether's  general  moral 
character,  and  his  reputation  for  truth  and  veracity? 

Ans.  When  he  is  drinking,  no  one  can  believe  him;  his  general 
reputation  is  bad.  When  he  is  drinking,  the  truth  is  not  in  him  ; 
when  he  is  sober,  I  would  believe  him  under  oath. 

!  don't  think  it  was  the  fault  of  the  Directors  that  they  did  not 
know  of  Campbell's  whipping.  No  record  was  made  of  it,  and 
they  could  have  no  knowledge  of  it.  Women  are  punished  some- 
times by  dungeons,  sometimes  by  the  cat ;    sometimes  they  are 


21 

whipped  on  the  bare  back,  and  sometimes  over  the  dress.  When 
on  the  bare  back,  the  dress  is  taken  down  to  the  hips.  I  don't 
know  of  extreme  or  unusual  punishment  having  been  inflicted  in 
the  female  department. 

WM.S.    FERRIER. 

I  never  had  any  knowledge  of  any  money  being  demanded  by, 
or  paid  to  the  Directors  by  the  Warden,  or  heard  of  it,  until  these 
chariJes  were  filed  by  Merrri wether.  I  never,  to  my  knowledge,  saw 
Mr.  Meredith  or  Mr.  Ghee  intoxicated  while  here.  K  they  were  so, 
it  was  after  business  hours,  when  I  was  not  with  them.  1  would 
not  think  either  of  them  are  drinking  men.  Had  been  a  Director 
four  years  on  January  25,  1869,  and  in  June  following  my  election, 
Meriwether  was  elected.  I  do  not  know  of  any  man  now  con- 
nected with  the  prison  having  paid  money  (ro  get  position  in  the 
prison)  to  any  Director  or  other  officer  now  holdmg  office. 

Ques.  Are  you  acquainted  with  Colonel  Merriwethers  moral 
character,  and  if  so,  is  it  good  or  bad? 

Ans.  I  am.     His  reputation  is  bad. 

Ques.  Is  his  reputation  for  veracity  good  or  bad? 

Ans.  It  is  bad. 

Ques.  Would  you  believe  him  when  under  oath  ? 

Ans.  That  is  a  hard  question  to  answer.  I  would  not  say  that 
I  could  not  believe  him.  I  want  to  say  that  I  have  no  recollec- 
tion of  his  interposing  any  objections  to  our  receiving  the  bids  of 
Hall,  Sample  &  Co.,  on  the  ground  that  more  could  be  gotten  fr©m 
them  by  another  advertisement,  if  there  were  competitors,  or  upon 
any  other  grounds. 

Further :  since  I  have  been  a  Director,  I  have  not  known  of  the 
Board  doing  anything  in  that  time  for  the  benefit  of  the  con- 
tractors, to  the  detriment  of  the  State,  to  the  amount  of  one  cent, 
and  I  don't  think  such  a  thing  could  have  been  done  without  my 
knowledge ;  and  I  don't  think  I  have  missed  more  than  two 
meetings,  one  of  which  was  the  meeting  which  made  the  order  for 
84,000,  in  favor  of  Hall,  Miller  &  B.  The  other  meeting  was  when 
I  was  elected  President  of  the  Board.     If  Mr.  Ghee  or  Mr.  Mere- 


22 

dith  received  any  money  from  contractors,  it  was  to  pay  them  for 
doing  their  duty;  there  was  no  other  excuse.  I  mean  by  this  that 
neither  of  them  done  anything  for  the  contractors  which  they  were 
not  bound  to  do  by  law,  and  which  they  could  furnish  no  excuse 
ibr  not  doing,  We  never  divided  a  vote  except  in  the  election  of 
officers.  Had  I  been  present  when  the  $4,000  was  made,  I  would 
have  voted  for  it,  as  it  was  just  and  right.  All  the  contracts  were 
let  to  the  highest  and  best  bidder,  and,  therefore,  if  contractors  paid 
the  other  Directors  anything,  it  was  for  doing  what,  as  Directors, 
they  were  bound  to  do.     I  never  received  anything. 

Merriwether  took  to  drinking  soon  after  he  was  elected  Warden. 
Had -I  known  he  was  a  drunkard  I  would  not  have  voted  for  him. 
He  was  highly  recommended  to  me.  I  tried  my  best  to  reform  him, 
got  his  friends  to  talk  to  him,  and  appealed  to  him  myself.  He  did 
reform  for  several  months,  but  took  to  drinking  again.  At  one 
time  the  Clerks  and  Deputy  Warden  threatened  to  quit.  I  asked 
them  not  to  leave  me  wdth  a  drunken  Warden  on  my  hands.  Fin- 
ally they  preferred  charges  against  him.  He  a^ked  for  thirty  day's 
time,  which  was  granted  him.  Before  that  time  expired  he  had 
discharged  the  Clerks  and  Deputy  Warden,  and  put  on  as  Deputy 
a  man  named  Falconer,  a  creature  of  his  own.  and  they  defied  me 
as  to  the  charges.  I  took  legal  advice  on  the  evidence  1  could  pro- 
duce, and  was  advised  that  it  was  not  sufficient  to  remove  him. 
Since  then  I  have  heard  of  his  bad  conduct,  but  could  get  no  in- 
formation from  his  subordinate  officers,  because  they  knew  if 
they  reported  him  they  would  lose  their  places.  Finally  Vannoy 
filed  his  charges  and  Merriwether  resigned.  I  was  disposed  to 
bear  with  Merriwether  so  long  as  he  promised  reformation,  and  did 
all  I  could  to  get  him  to  do  better.  So  far  from  taking  this  as  a 
kindness  he  made  it  a  personal  matter  between  us. 

Recalled  by  Defense.  We  first,  as  a  Board,  decided  the  ques- 
tion as  to  the  removal  of  Col.  Merriwether,  I  think  there  was 
nothing  said  as  to  who  should  succeed  him  until  he  resigned.  I 
think  Mr.  Ghee  moved  that  we  go  into  an  election  of  Warden, 
when  Mr.  Meredith  nominated  Colonel  Shuler,  and  stated  in  his 
behalf  that  he  came  to  him  strongly  recommended  by  Governor 
Morton  ;  that  he  had  been  a  good  soldier,  and  was  a  trusted  friend 
of  Governor  Morton's.  In  addition  to  that  recommendation  he  re- 
ferred us  to  Governor  Baker.  My  recollection  is  that  Mr.  Mere- 
dith stated  that  Colonel  Shuler  was  a  poor  man,  and  had  been  bad 


23 

ly  wounded  in  the  service.  I  then  nominated  Merit  Alloway  of 
this  county.  I  urged  that  I  believed  Mr.  Alloway  to  be  a  compe- 
tent man,  and  in  every  way  qualified,  and  that  I  believed  him  to 
be  the  choice  of  the  leading  republicans  of  this  part  of  the  State; 
that  four  years  ago  he  had  been  designated  by  lea-ding  Republicans 
of  the  Loyal  League,  and  leading  Republicans  of  other  Leagues; 
that  (he)  would  have  been  selected  then  had  he  not  declined  the 
office.  Mr.  Ghee  said  he  hardly  knew  what  to  do,  that  he  did  not 
Jinow  either  of  the  men  personally  ;  he  appeared  to  me  to  be  some- 
what excited  about  the  matter,  walked  the  floor-  backwards  and 
forwards,  but  within  a  very  few  minutes  said  he  would  vote  for 
Colonel  Schuler.     He  said  he  had  no  candidate  of  his  own. 

By  the  Committee.  When  Meredith  and  Ghee  were  elected  and 
•qualified  as  Directors,  I  was  at  Indianapolis  fighting  the  combina- 
tions that  were  formed  to  destroy  the  contract  system.  Meredith 
:and  Ghee  came  to  the  Prison  and  organized  the  Board  by  electing 
me  President.  Immediately  on  my  return  to  the  Prison,  on  my 
first  visit,  I  learned  that  Merriwether  had  boasted  that  "Ferrier 
might  go  to  hell  for  him,  that  he  was  independent  of  him  ;  that  he 
now  had  two  Directors  in  his  interest*'  Captain  A.  W.  Hall  was 
the  first  man  who  informed  me  of  what  Merriwether  had  said.  I  then 
then  said  I  did  not  believe  it,  and  at  time  I  did  not  I  concluded 
in  my  own  mind,  and  so  expressed  myself, that  I  would  wait  before 
making  any  investigation  in  the  matter  until  the  new  Directors 
iiad  had  an  opportunity  of  forming  a  just  estimate  of  the  habits 
;and  character  of  Merriwether  from  their  own  personal  observation. 
1  said  nothing  to  these  Directors  on  that  subject,  but  determined 
to  bring  the  whole  matter  to  a  focus  as  soon  as  practicable,  and 
to  this  end  prior  to  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  which  was 
an  the  latter  part  of  May,  1867,  I  wrote  tiie  following  letter  to 
Governor  Baker. 

Indiana  State  Prison,  South,  \ 

JefTersonville,  Ind,  May  29,  1867.  j 

GovERNOfi  Baker: 

Dear  Sir: — If  I  am  not  mistaken  the  last  session  of  the  Legis- 
lature passed  an  act  authoriziwg  you  to  appoint  a  committee  to 
examine  into  the  affairs  of  the  State  Prisons  and  Benevolent  Insti- 
tutions, whenever  it  should  appear  necessary  to  make  investigations 
into  tiie  affairs  of  said   Institutions,     You  will,  therefore,  pardon 


me  for  suggesting  to  you  that  I  deem  it  ver^.  necessary  tbat  s 
thorough  int'estigation  into  the  affairs  of  the  Indiana  State  Prisoa 
South  t^hould  be  made  immediately.  It  should  embrace,  in  it» 
scope,  the  official  acts  of  the  Directors,  Warden,  and  all  of  \\\% 
officials  connected  with  the  Prison  for  two  years  past.  Asa  mem- 
ber of  the  Board  of  Directors,  I  especially  ask  an  investigation  in- 
to my  official  conduct,  believing  that  existingjcircutnstances  de- 
mand such  an  investigation.  I  ask  this  in  justice  to  myself,  and 
because  I  think  the  interests  of  the  State  and  tbe  Institution  re- 
quires immediate  action  in  the  premises.  If  you  so  desire,  I  will 
give  you  my  reasons  for  the  above  request. 
Yours,  very  respectfully, 
(Signed:)  WM.  S.  FERRIER, 

Prest.  Boaiid  Directors  State  Prisnn  South.. 

As  soon  as  the  B'oard  met  I  stated  to  them  that  I  had  heard,  and 
believed,  that  an  attempt  on  the  part  of  the  Warden  had  been  made 
to  prejudice  them  against  me ;  that  Merriwether  had  made  a  per- 
sonal assault  against  me;  of  my  efforts  to  discharge  my  swor« 
duty  as  an  officer,  and  I  referred  the  Board  to  a  record  of  investi- 
gations had  before  they  came  in,  in  charges  against  Merriwether 
for  drunkenness.  I  stated  to  them  that  the  interests  of  the  State 
and  the  Prison  demanded  the  co-operation  of  the  Board;, 

I,.   S.    HALL,. 

Meredith  wanted  to  go  home  at  one  time,  and  had  not  a  cent  of 
money,  and  called  upon  me  for  a  loan  of  enough  to  take  him.  J 
asked  him  how  much  he  wanted,  and  when  he  infonned  me  went 
totbe  cash  drawer  and  gave  it  to  him,  just  as  I  wouM  have  done  for 
any  one  else — that's  the  wh«)le  of  it..  Ten  or  fifteen  dollars  was^ 
the-  amount.     1  don^t  remember  whether  St  has  been  paid  or  not. 

Mr.  Ghee  came  to  me  not  a  great  while  ago,  and  said  he  was; 
"devilish  short,:' and  w^anted  to.  boiTow  some  money.  I  told  him 
that  I  had  no  money  to  loan  ham,  and  turned  and  left  him  at  once-^ 

Cross  Examined. — The  Board  of  Directors  have  never  approached 
me  for  money  or  favors,  nor  ever  granted  me  favors  to  tht?  detriment 
of  the  State  or  any  other  contractor,  to  my  knowledge.  This 
Board  has  dealt  with  me  closer  than  any  other  one  I  have  ever  had 
business  with,  and  I  have  been  a  contractor  for  thirty  years.  Never 
told  Merriwether  that  we  had  given  8500;  never  talked  to  him  a 


25 

mniute  on  the  subject  of  the  price  of  convict  labor.  Am  acqaainted 
with  his  general  reputation  for  truth  and  verat-ity ;  it's  pretty  hard 
about  the  Prison ;  do  not  know  how  it  is  away  from  there. 

A.  W.   HALL. 

Am  a  contractor  at  the  Prison;  have  been  since  1861;  was  here 
permanently  till  1864.  Mr.  Meredith  nor  Mr.  Ghee  never  approached 
me,  to  my  recollection,  for  money,  in  consideration  of  favors  they 
might  render  me;  never  demanded  or  requested  any  money  from 
me.  I  can't  recollect  exactly  the  tim.e  Mr.  Merriwether  came  to 
me  and  said  Mr.  Meredith  was  sick,  and  wanted  8500,  as  his 
(Meredith's)  property  was  under  execution.  We  went  to  the  Bank 
and  drew  8500  by  draft,  and  I  presume  the  money  was  sent  to 
Meredith.  Nothing  was  ever  said  to  me  by  Meredith  about  it,  nor 
did  I  ever  mention  the  subject  to  him.  I  paid  one-half  of  the 
amount  of  the  draft;  the  money  came  out  of  my  own  private  funds 
and  not  from  the  firm.  I  have  no  acknowledgment  for  the  money, 
not  even  the  scratch  of  a  pen  to  show.  Of  course  I  expect  interest 
and  principal.  Am  not  certain  that  I  made  a  memorandum  of  the 
8250;  my  wife  keeps  the  accounts,  and  if  any  account  was  kept 
of  ir,  it  will  appear  on  the  memorandum  book.  My  recollection  of 
dates  is  not  good.  I  have  no  lien  upon  Meredith  ;  the  interest  and 
principal  is  left  with  him  to  pay  as  he  chooses;  have  seen  nothing- 
in  Meredith  to  impair  my  confidence  in  him.  Am  not  in  the  habit 
of  loaning  money;  did  not  loan  the  moi>ey  ag  a  business  transac- 
tion ;  sympathy  is  not  the  great  inducement  which  I  had  to  loan  the 
money.  In  a  business  transaction  I  would  not  allow  my  friendship 
for  a  man  to  induce  me  to  embarrass  myself  by  lending  him 
money. 

I  met  Mr.  Meredith  here  frequently,  and  was  always  free  and 
sociable,  so  that  our  acquaintance  began  on  my  part  to  be  friendly> 
All  the  Directors  and  Warden  were  at  all  times  willing:  to  o^rant 
me  favo-rs  I  tnight  ask  of  them;  they  never  said  "no."  I  never 
made  any  demands  or  requests  but  what  were  reasonable.  We 
never  presented  a  request  but  what  was  ultimately  granted.  I 
never  expected  to  get  a  cent  of  the  money  only  from  Mr.  Meredith. 
The  relations  between  Mr.  Meredith  and  myself,  and  the  kindness 
shown  me  by  him  as  a  Director,  previous  to  this  time,  were  not 
sufficient  to  justify  me  in  granting  him  such  a  favor  without  reason- 
able expectation  of  a  return  of  the  money.     1  was  under  no  obliga- 


26 

tions  of  anv  character  whatever  to  Mr.  Meredith.  Nothinsr  was 
saiJ  about  the  return  of  the  money  at  the  time  it  was  procured, 
as  J  did  not  expect  Col.  Merriwether  to  repay  it  to  me. 

Cross  Examined. — Did  not  see  a  letter  from  Meredith  to  Merri- 
wether. * 

Direct. — I  authorized  Merriwether  to  pay  Ghee  $250  for  me. 
Mr.  Merriwether  never  paid  me.  ]  kept  no  account  of  the  money. 
The  loan  was  made  to  accommodate  Colonel  iVIerriwether,  and  have 
had  no  conversation  with  him  on  the  subject  since  the  transacrion. 
I  can  make  him  pay  it.  The  loan  was  made  at  his  request,  and 
not  at  Mr.  Meredith's. 

By  Defense. — Colonel  Merriwether's  character  is  generally  pretty 
bad,  but  some  will  believe  him — those  who  do  not  know  much 
about  him.  His  character  is  good,  bad  and  indifferent.  1  never 
saw  either  of  the  Directors  under  the  influence  of  liquor;  never  was 
with  them  after  night. 

Direct. —  I  did  authorize  Colonel  Merriwether  to  pay  $250  to 
Ghee  for  me,  which  I  repaid  to  him  a  few  days  after.  Have  ne\er 
spoken  to  Merriwether  about  it,  although  I  expected  him  to  return 
it  to  me,  and  I  expect  him  to  do  so. 

DR.   L.   W.   BECKWITH. 

Am  Prison  Physician ;  have  been  for  the  past  three  years. 
Know  nothing  of  the  whipping  of  Campbell.  He  was  an  old 
man.  I  know  of  no  cruelty  to  convicts.  Campbell  was  in  the 
hospital  two  days,  doing  some  little  things  about  the  cell-house, 
until  within  a  short  time  of  his  death.  Do  not  remember  his  dis- 
ease. His  death  was  unexpected,  but  not  a  surprise.  He  ought 
not  to  have  been  removed  from  the  hospital  without  my  consent. 
If  he  was  taken  out,  I  never  knew  of  it,  and  never  heard  of  it  until 
the  charges  were  preferred  against  Merriwether.  Colonel  Merri- 
welher  was  kind  and  humane,  especially  to  the  sick,  whom  he 
often  visited  and  waited  upon. 

The  Warden  makes  all  purchases  of  medicines.  The  Steward 
makes  the  bills.     What  I  order  is  generally  procured. 

JOHN  THOMAS  MATTHEWS   (cONVICT). 

I  did  employ  Mr.  Meredith  to  act  as  my  attorney.  It  was  in 
1867.     My  agent,  William   Clayton,  came  here  from  Pittsburgh, 


27 

and  I  authorized  him  to  secure  some  good  man  to  influence  Gov- 
ernor Baker  to  commute  my  sentence.  My  agent  informed  me 
that  he  had  secured  Meredith,  and  I  sanctioned  the  selection.  1 
was  to  give  Mr.  Meredith  $2,000,  provided  he  procured  my  pardon. 
I  gave  him  890  at  fir^^t,  of  my  own  free  will,  to  pay  him  for  his 
trouble  in  getting  up  the  papers.  I  never  paid  him  any  more,  of 
my  own  free  will.  I  loaned  him  ^450 — ^300  the  first  time  and 
81o0  the  last  time.  The  §2,000  was  to  be  paid  on  condition  that 
he  succeeded.  The  8300  was  loaned  him  to  go  to  Ohio,  to  get  up 
statements  and  evidence  as  to  my  past  conduct,  and  was  to  be 
repaid  by  him  if  he  failed  to  secure  my  pardon.  That  was  the 
terms  of  our  contract,  which  was  in  writing. 

(Witness  here  produced  a  note  for  8450,  at  10  per  cent,  interest, 
payable  one  day  after  date,  and  signed  by  Meredith). 

Mr.  Meredith  is  still  in  my  employ.  1  think  he  went  to  Ohio,  in 
persoii,  in  my  behalf. 

1  was  sentenced  for  manslaughter;  am  in  poor  health.  Colonel 
Merriwether  told  me  he  thought  me  innocent.  He  tried  to  get 
money  out  of  me  through  Faulkner,  who  came  after  it.  The 
Colonel  never  spoke  to  me  about  it  himself.  I  wanted  Mr.  iVIere- 
dith  to  go  to  Ohio,  to  get  the  evidence  that  I  was  not  a  "bounty 
jumper." 

R.    J.    FORSYTH. 

I  am  Prison  Clerk;  have  been  here  since  October,  1866.  Think 
I  saw  Meredith  and  Ghee  once  when  under  the  influence  of  liquor; 
in  the  alternoon  of  the  day  they  were  about  the  oflice.  I  remember 
Merriwether  and  wife  being  here,  but  cannot  state  positively 
whethjr  that  was  the  day  or  not.  Money  was  placed  in  the  safe 
for  Matthews.     Merriwether  got  the  money,  he  said,  for  Meredith. 

cross-examined. — Mr.  Ferrier  was  not  present  when  these  direc- 
tors were  drinking;  was  not  certain  that  Ghee  had  drank  anythmg, 
but  he  acknowledged  afterward  that  he  had  been  imbibing,  that. he 
was  soiTy,  and  would  not  be  caught  so  again.  Do  not  think  they 
were  incapacited  for  business. 

Direct. — Do  not  know  of  money  having  been  paid  to  Directors 
by  Merriwether  or  contractors. 

JOSKPH     K.    FALCONER. 

I  have  been  connected  with  the  Prison  nearly  all  time  since  Mer- 
riwether has  been  here,  first  as  Guard  and  then  as  Deputy  Warden. 


28 

I  succeeded  McKinney.  Am  not  connected  with  it  now.  I  fre- 
quently heard  Merriwether  say  he  was  to  pay  money  to  Meredith 
and  Ghee.  I  know  that  a  Guard  named  Van  Pelt,  and  my  ?on, 
who  took  Van  Pelt's  place  after  he  was  discharged,  each  paid  810 
per  month  out  of  their  wages  to  Colonel  Merriwether,  who  stated 
that  it  was  paid  to  Meredith  and  Ghee.  I  never  saw.  Merriwether 
pay  Meredith  or  Ghee  any  money;  I  never  saw  any  other  money 
paid.  I  saw  Ghee  under  the  influence  of  liquor  once  in  the  day 
time.  I  saw  Meredith  so  two  or  three  times;  only  once  in  the 
day  time,  1  think.  It  was  mostly  at  night.  Once  he  was  very 
much  so  at  night  at  the  Prison.  I  think  Shadburn,  Vannoy  and 
Merriwether  were  present.  Merriwether  may  have  been  under  the 
influence  of  liquor  also.  I  was  with  them  ;  don't  think  I  was 
drunk,  may  have  been  taking  a  little.  I  do  sometimes.  There 
was  generally  a  good  supply  of  whisky  about  the  Prison,  in  the 
Doctor's  shop.  I  saw  them  drinking  that  evening  in  the  Doctor's 
office.  Meredith  was  a  little  noisy,  not  disagreeably  so  ;  made  a 
little  speech,  and  got  off"  a  little  wit,  as  men  do  when  on  a  spree. 
One  evening  Mr.  Meredith  and  Mr.  Vannoy  were  together,  both 
drinking  a  little.  1  started  to  go  through  the  iron  door,  when  Mere- 
dith and  Vannoy  came  out  of. the  wooden  door;  the  wooden  door 
leads  to  the  entrance  of  the  cell-room  of  the  female  department. 
I  can't  say  that  they  had  been  in  the  female  department.  This  was 
about  nine  o'clock  at  night,  perhaps  a  little  after.  I  am  satisfied 
they  were  drinking  a  little,  but  were  not  very  much  intoxicated. 
I  never  knew  the  Directors  to  visit  the  female  department  at  night. 
I  suppose  they  had  the  right.  I  think  Mrs.  Berry  was  Matron  at 
the  time  of  Meredith's  visit.  I  do  not  know  of  any  money  having 
been  used  to  effect  a  change  in  Wardens. 

Cross  Examined. — If  Meredith  and  Vannoy  had  been  to  visit 
the  Matron,  they  would  have  most  likely  come  out  of  the  door 
sppken  of. 

Direct. — The  present  Warden  or  Directors  discharged  me;  Shu- 
ler  says  the  Directors  discharged  me  ;  he  gave  me  no  reason  for  my 
discharge  other  than  that  the  Directors  ordered  him  to  do  it. 

Cross  Examined. — Mrs.  Berry,  I  think,  is  a  woman  of  umblem- 
ished  character;  that  is  my  opinion  of  her. 

Direct. — I  think  good  guards  could  be  got  at  $60  per  month,  at 
this  time.

JOHN    M.   GLAS^ BY   DEFENSE. 

Am  one  of  the  Prison  guards;  have  been  here  some  two  years; 
know  Meredith  and  Ghee  when  I  see  them  ;  have  seen  them  at  the 
Prison;  have  seen  them  under  the  influence  of  liquor;  don't  recol- 
lect the  date,  it  was  in  the  afternoon ;  they  were  in  the  oiiice  in  the 
Hospital,  with  the  Warden;  considered  all  three  of  them  intox- 
icated ;  they  were  not  boisterous ;  the  Warden  and  Meredith 
were  having  some  conversation  in  reference  to  a  sewer ;  never  saw 
them  under  tlie  influence  of  liquor  on  any  other  occasion  ;  have 
had  intimations  since  my  former  evidence,  that  I  would  be  dis- 
charged in  consequence  of  it;  received  this  intimation  frotn  Mr. 
Sage  and  Mr.  Forsyth. 

Cross  Examined. — Am  a  son-in-law  of  W.  L.  Merriwether ;  njy 
name  was  used  as  a  candidate  for  De[)Uty  Warden  ;  do  not  know 
that  I  was  disappointed  because  1  did  not  get  it. 

[Witness  here  declined  to  answer  the  quesiion  as  to  whether  or 
not  he  had  ever  had  intercourse  with  female  convicts,  stating  that 
the  question  was  unfair;  that  he  had  never  been  accused  of  it,  and 
therefore  would  not  answer.]  * 

The  Directors  did  not  do  what  Mr.  Merriwether  wanted  them  to,

WILLIAM    H.  SAGE    SWORN. 

I  have  charge  of  the  carriage  and  wood  work  ;  represent  John 
L.  Hall  &  A.  W.  Hall,  of  the  firm  of  Hall,  Moore  &  Burkhardt : 
am  acquainted  with  Col.  Merriwether;  his  character  for  truth  and 
veracity  is  bud  at  the  present  time  ;  I  am  acquainted  with  F. 
M.  Meredith  ;  never  saw  him  drunk  nor  under  the  influence  of 
liquor  ;  have  been  acquainted  with  him  one  year  ;  never  saw  Ghee 
under  the  influence  of  liquor  ;  never  had  suspicion  of  Meredith  or 
Ghee  drinking;  never  heard  of  them  drinking  until  after  Col.  Mer- 
riwether resigned  ;  never  saw  either  of  them  after  dark  ;  the  gene- 
ral impression  as  to  Col.  Merriwether's  character  is  bad  at  present : 
have  heard  many  so  express  themselves ;  could  give  names,  but  do 
not  wish  to  do  so  ;  have  not  heard  one  hundred — not  fifty — hav«^ 
heard  twenty  ;  have  heard  but  one  speak  as  to  believing  him  under 
oath.

H.    T.    SAGE. 

Have  been  in  and  about  the  Prison  about  five  years  ;  have  been 
connected  with  the  contractors  and  was  guarding  about  three 
months  ;  never  saw  either  of  the  Directors  under  the  influence  of 
liquor;  never  heard  any  threats  that  Glass  was  to  be  discharged  on 
account  of  any  testimony  given  at  the  former  investigation  by  the 
House  Committee  ;  liave  never  known  of  any  money  having  been 
given  by  or  demanded  of  contractors  to  influence  the  action  of 
Directors. 

Gross  Examined. — Have  never  heard  of  Directors  having  been 
drunk  till  since  these  investigations  commenced ;  Works  came  to 
me  and  said  that  he  had  testified  that  the  Directors  were  drunk, 
and  said  to  me,  "you  know,  too,  that  they  were  drunk;"  I  replied 
that  I  knew  no  such  thing. 

H.   A.    WHITLICK. 

Live  in  Jeflersonville.  I  am  employed  by  Hall,  Moore  &  Burk- 
hardt  in  one  of  their  shops  in  the  prison,  and  have  been  here  four 
years.  Am  acquainted  with  Col.  Merriwether.  His  general  repu- 
tation for  truth  and  veracity  is  bad. 

By  Committee.  I  don't  know  of  any  m^oney  ever  having  been 
paid  by  any  of  the  contractors  to  the  Directors.  Col.  Merriwether 
once  told  me  that  the  Directors,  Meredith  and  Ghee,  were  good 
men,  such  as  the  contractors  could  not  buy,  that  they  were  in  his 
interest.  I  never  saw  either  of  these  men  drunk,  and  I  saw  them 
every  time  they  w  ere  here.  I  was  here  when  Hall,  Moore  &  Miller 
made  the  five  years  contract,  and  also  when  J.  S.  Hall  &  Co.  made 
their  contract.  I  never  heard  of  any  bonus  having  been  paid  for 
contracts.  Heard  in  the  last  few  days  that  Col.  Merriwether  and 
also  Col.  Shuler  had  paid  to  get  their  offices.  Never  heard  of  any 
of  the  guards  paying.  I  heard  that  Col.  Merriwether  and  his  Dep- 
uty had  paid  for  their  positions.  I  have  charge  of  the  machine 
shop.  Merriwether  once  told  me  that  Ferrier  had  borrowed  money 
from  Dr.  Moore  and  J.  S.  Hall.  I  understood  Col.  Merriwether  to 
mean  that  the  money  was  never  to  be  repaid.  Hall  and  Moore  are 
both  contractors.

WM.    GORHAM. 

Reside  in  Jeffersonville.  Have  been  here  ten  vear?.  Was  con- 
nected  with  the  prison  for  nine  years  and  eight  months.  Was  dis- 
charged by  Col.  Merriwether  through  Mr.  Forsyth,  Clerk,  on  the  23d 
of  October  last.  I  was  told  by  Falconer,  the  Deputy  Warden, 
that  I  was  discharged  on  account  of  politics.  Col.  Merriwether's 
reputation  for  truth  and  veracity  is  bad.  I  was  told  that  I  was 
discharged  because  I  voted  the  Democratic  ticket.  Have  heard 
Merriwether  say  he  would  not  discharge  any  man  for  voting. 

Bt/  Committee. — I  never  knew  of  any  one  paying  money  to  get 
or  retain  a  position  about  the  prison.  Have  heard  that  Merriwether 
paid  to  get  his  office,  but  never  heard  that  any  one  paid  to  get  him 
out.  Have  not  spoken  to  him  since  I  was  discharged;  he  has  not 
given  me  a  chance.  I  was  guard  on  top  of  the  buildings,  on  night 
duty.  Did  not  often  see  the  Directors.  I  never  saw  Meredith  or 
Ghee  under  the  influence  liquor. 

HENRY    LAWRENCE. 

Have  lived  in  Jeflersonville  for  five  years.  Am  acquainted  with 
Col.  Merriwether's  character  for  truth  and  veracity ;  it  is  very  bad. 
Am  extensively  acquainted  in  Jeflersonville.  Am  doing  nothing 
now.  Run  several  teams  in  town.  W^as  guard  at  the  prison,  but 
was  discharged  by  Merriwether  after  the  election.  His  deputy  told 
me  to  stay  here  and  I  would  get  my  place  again,  but  I  did  not  get 
it.  Am  now  on  speaking  terms  with  Merriwether.  Was  guard 
in  hall  part  of  the  time,  and  part  of  the  time  in  the  cell-room. 
Have  seen  persons  on  a  spree  at  the  prison,  but  never  one  of  the 
Directors.  Never  saw  them  when  they  looked  like  they  had  been 
on  a  spree.

er  had  any  difficulty  with  Merriwether,  and  am  on  good  terms 
with  him.  Generally  see  the  Directors  when  they  are  here.  Have 
seen  parties  take  their  tea  here  ;  never  saw  the  Directors  do  so.  I 
never  knew  or  heard  of  any  of  the  Directors  borrowing  money 
from  contractors.

HENRY    FRENCH    SWORNi. 

I  know  Col.  Merriwether ;  have  known  Inm  for  several  yeairs; 
know  nothing  against  his  character  for  truth  and  veracity ;  have 
never  heard  the  matter  discussed.  Am  acquainted  with  his  general 
character;  it  is  good.  Have  never  heard  anything  said  against  his 
character.  Have  heard  his  moral  character  discussed.  Am  speak- 
ing on  my  own  knowledge.  Never  heard  his  general  character  dis* 
cussed,  nor  called  in  question.  Never  heard  his  general  character 
for  truth  and  veracity  discussed  nor  called  in  question.  Never 
heard  his  character  for  sobricly  discussed  till  about  the  time  he  re- 
signed. Am  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  and  Collector  of  Internal 
Revenue,     Have  been  Justice  10  years.     Lived  here  since  1802. 

JOHN  T.   REID,  SWORN. 

I  am  acquainted  with  Col.  Merriwether;  his  general  character 
for  truth  and  veracity  in  this  community,  outside  of  political  mat* 
ters,  is  good.  I  am  his  brother-in-law.  Have  known  him  for  a 
long  time;  have  never  known  his  veracity  impugned  in  tcAvn.  Am 
a  practicing  attorney ;  have  never  heard  his  character  for  truth  and 
veracity  discussed^  Was  Prison  Director  for  four  years.  The 
Prison  contractors  were  Hall,  Moore  and  Miller.  Never  knew  a 
consideration  offered  or  given,  to  secure  a  contract  or  position.  No 
contractor  ever  approached  me  to  secure  any  position.  When 
contracts  are  let  to  the  highest  bidder,  the  Directors  cannot  favor 
contractors.  I  am  acquainted  with  Mr.  Hall.  Can  only  remove 
Warden  on  cause* 

WiLLlAM  JONES  SWORN* 

I  am  in  the  coal  business.  Came  here  in  1863.  I  am  aC' 
quainted  with  Col.  Merriwether.  When  sober,  his  general  reputa- 
tation  for  truth  and  veracity  is  good.  Reputation  is  good  when 
sober. 

COL.    MERRIWETHER    RECALLED. 

J  knew  of  Meredith's  attempt  to  get  a  convict  by  the  name  of 
Matthews  pardoned;  know  of  his  receiving,  cannot  state  the 
amount.  It  was  paid  to  him  at  different  times.  Matthews  had  a 
package  of  money  that   he    had   received   from   the  estate  of  his 


33 

mother.  That  was  my  understanding.  It  was  placed  in  the  safe, 
with  his  name  on  the  package,  which  he  drew  from  the  safe,  as  he 
desired  to  be  paid  out  at  his  request,  and  noted  on  the  envelope  by 
the  Clerk.  At  his  request,  I  paid  money  several  times  to  Mr.  Mere- 
dith, amounting  in  the  aggregate,  perhaps,  to  four  hundred  dollars 
or  more.  The  largest  amount,  in  the  neighborhood  of  three  hun- 
dred dollars,  was  paid  to  him  for  going  to  Ohio  to  procure  the 
statement  of  officers  of  a  regiment  that  Matthews  had  served  in. 
The  officers  were  to  certify  as  to  his  character  before  coming  to 
Indiana,  also  as  to  his  character  as  a  soldier  in  the  army.  There 
may  have  been  more  than  officers.  He  was  reported  to  have  been 
a  deserter.  These  certificates  \vere  to  disprove  these  reports.  Fifty 
dollars  was  paid  at  one  time.  I  reported  the  amount  to  the  Clerk 
that  I  paid,  which  I  think  he  placed  on  the  envelope.  The  envel- 
ope may  show.  That's  my  recollection.  The  envelope  may  show 
the  amounts  exactly.  Matthews  was  not  pardoned  at  that  time. 
The  book  of  the  Prison  will  show.  That  is  all  the  money  I  re- 
member any  convict  paying  Mr.  Meredith.  Mr.  Meredith  claimed 
to  have  been  to  great  expense  in  his  trip  to  Ohio,  and  in  two  or 
three  trips  to  Indianapolis.  He  may  have  gone  to  Indianapolis 
more  than  the  times  indicated. 

Cross  Examined. — Matthews  is  in  the  Prison  for  murder  or  man- 
slaughter; his  health  was  bad;  is  bad  yet.  Is  a  good  convict.  At 
Meredith's  request,  I  made  a  statement  of  his  condition.  I  thought 
he  ought  to  be  pardoned.  Vannoy  was  charged  with  having  bad 
sexual  intercourse  with  female  convicts;  v/as  charged  by  one  of 
the  convicts  that  he  had  got  her  in  the  family  way.  I  have  no 
doubt  but  what  he  was  arrested  on  that  charge — an  attorney  and 
Justice  of  the  Peace  having  previously  been  here  to  take  the  affida- 
vit of  the  convict.  Before  the  investigation  I  believed  that  Van- 
noy had  had  such  intercourse. 

Direct, — 1  know  Whittick;  he  is  foreman  in  the  machine  shop 
of  Hall,  Moore  &  Burkhardt.  I  know  of  his  interesting  himself 
in  trying  to  procure  the  pardon  of  Poughbum,  a  convict  here  for 
life,  for  murder.  He  requested  me  to  intercede  with  the  Governor 
to  procure  his  pardon.  I  did  not  accede  to  his  request.  I  have 
heard  that  he  has  since  been  pardoned,  and  that  the  Physician  gave 
a  certificate  of  disability.

Prison  South.  Have  held  the  j)osition  for  the  past  three  years,  and 
three  years  previous,  with  two  years  intervening. 

By  the  Committee. — Have  known  Mr.  Merriwether  at  the  Prison 
for  three  years.  Have  known  a  number  about  the  Prison  who  have 
no  confidence  in  him  as  a  man  of  truth.  Do  not  know  what  his 
general  leputation  is. 

T.    J.    DOWNS. 

Am  in  the  Life  Insurance  business;  have  resided  here  twenty 
odd  years;  am  acquainted  with  Col.  Merriwether;  his  reputation 
for  truth  and  veracity  is  good  ;  he  drinks  too  much  to  have  a  good 
moral  character. 

B.    C.    PYLE. 

Have  resided  here  sixty-three  years;  know  Merriwether;  his 
rej)utaiion  for  truth  and  veracity  is  i2;ood,  so  far  as  1  know;  have 
heard  people  say  he  would  tell  stories  about  his  exploits.  Do  not 
remember  to  have  heard  any  one  say  anything  in  favor  of  his  repu- 
tation for  truth  and  veracity,  but  have  heard  it  said  that  he  is  an 
ihonorable  man. 

R.    S.    HASKELL. 

Am  selling  goods;  came  here  in  the  summer  of  1832;  have 
known  Col.  Merriwether  since  his  marriage,  some  ten  or  twelve 
years;  his  character  for  truth  and  veracity  is  good,  so  far  as  I 
know;  never  ht^ard  any  one  say  anything  against  his  character  for 
truth  and  veracity. 

DR.  David  mc  clure. 

Am  a  physician;  "have  resided  here  five  years;  have  known 
Merriwether  for  fifteen  years.  I  think  I  am  acquainted  with  his 
general  reputation  for  truth  and  veracity ;  it  is  good.  Do  not  think 
I  ever  heard  it  questioned.  Never  heard  any  one  say  they  would 
not  believe  him  when  under  oath.  At  this  time,  aside  from  drink- 
ing, his  moral  character  is  good.

say  anything  for  or  against  it.  Have  heard  his  moral  character 
spoken  of  in  regard  lo  the  Prison.  His  reputation  in  town  is 
good  ;  at  the  Prison  it  has  been  bad,  as  heard  from  persons  con- 
nected with  the  Prison.  These  rumors  do  not  materially  affect  hit^ 
character. 

ELI  MC  CAUL.Y. 

Have  resided  in  Jeffersonville  forseventeen  years.  Have  known 
Col.  Merriwether  since  a  short  time  after  cominc;  here.  Am 
acquainted  with  his  general  reputation  for  truth  and  veracity,  which 
is  good  in  this  city;  never  heard  it  questioned  by  any  one.  He 
has  lived  at  the  Prison  for  the  past  three  years.  Do  not  specially 
know  vvhat  his  character  has  been  while  there.  He  is  well  known 
in  (  lark  county.  Am  not  engaged  in  any  special  business  at 
present.  Have  been  in  the  coal  trade.  Was  clerk  of  the  county 
from  1842  to  1852;  recently  clerk  of  the  city. 

JAMES  L.  BRADLEY. 

Reside  in  Johnson  county ;  am  here  nearly  every  week  on  busi- 
ness;  am  in  the  banking  business  and  woolen  mills;  know  Col. 
Shuler;  have  seen  him  at  Indianapolis,  and  also  in  his  regiment;  I 
know  of  no  combination  here  to  secure  the  position  of  Warden  in 
the  Prison,  nor  of  any  combination  to  remove  Col.  Merriwether. 
The  first  I  knew  of  the  investigation  and  Col.  Shuler's  appoint- 
ment, was  after  Shuler  was  in  office.  Did  not  know  of  any  dissat- 
isfaction with  Merriwether,  until  I  heard  of  his  resignation.  His 
general  reputation  is  that  he  tells  '•  big  stories,"  about  half  on  each 
side. 

J,   N.  S.  MATLOCK. 

Don't  know  of  any  combination  having  been  made  to  remove 
Col.  Merriwether,  nor  of  any  attempt  to  secure  such  removal.  Do 
not  know  of  any  influence  being  brought  to  bear  upon  the  Directors 


36 

to  secure  the  appointment  of  Col.  Shuler.  Think  it  was  last  June 
when  I  met  Meredith  at  Terre  Haute ;  we  walked  out  on  the  pave- 
ment in  front  of  the  Terre  Haute  House,  when  I  said  in  a  joking 
way,  "  when  will  the  present  Warden's  term  expire?"  I  then  sug- 
gested Col.  Shuler,  who  I  ^aid  was  a  friend  of  mine  and  a  black 
republican,  and  I  warned  him  to  speak  to  Mr.  Ghee  about  it.  I 
never  met  Mr.  Meredith  but  the  one  time  that  I  remember  of  now. 
It  was  certainly  the  only  time  that  I  ever  spoke  to  him  of  the 
appoiniment  of  Col.  Shuler  as  Warden. 

I  never  spoke  to  Ghee,  and  never  interested  myself  with  others 
about  it.  Do  not  know  of  any  one  else  ever  having  spoken  to  Mr. 
Meredith  or  Mr.  Ghee  about  ir.  When  Mr.  Meredith  came  down 
here  on  the  first  day  of  January,  Col.  Shuler,  Meredith,  Ghee  and 
Ferrier  were  at  my  house  )  1  told  Shuler  to  bring  them.  Mr.  Mere- 
dith  was  not  at  my  house  on  the  23 J  of  December. 

Cross  Examined. — Am  not  on  good  terms  with  Col.  Merriwether^ 
and  therefore  decline  to  answer  as  to  his  character.  Am  a  woolen 
manufacturer, 

LAWRENCE    S.    SHULER^ 

I  never  saw  Ghee  until  I  was  appointed  Warden  ;  I  became 
acquainted  with  Mrrediih,  I  think,  in  November  or  December  lastj 
I  did  not  know  either  of  them  one  year  ago  last  April,  and  had  no 
idea  of  being  an  applicant  for  the  office  ;  I  intended  to  apply  for 
the  place  in  June  nexr,  when  Merri wether's  term  expired  ;  neither 
myt=elf  or  friends  ever  made  any  proposition,  with  my  knowledge, 
to  either  Merediih  or  Ghee  ;  I  never,  directly  or  indirectly,  promised 
to  pay  one  single  dollar  to  any  of  the  Directors  to  induce  them  to 
vote  for  me,  nor  did  any  of  my  friends,  to  my  knowledge ;  1  w^as 
perfectly  surprised  when  notified  of  my  election  ;  I  did  not  know 
thatthere  was  to  Jje  an  election  until  June  next;  IthinkVannoy  has  ill 
feeling  against  me  because  I  will  not  appoint  him  Hospital  Steward  ; 
I  removed  Falconer, late  Deputy  Warden,  of  my  own  freewill  and 
accord,  because  he,  in  connection  with  others,  was  guilty  of  card  play- 
ingand  whisky  drinking,  and  prostituting  the  female  convicts,  and 
were  stool  pigeons  of  Merriwetber's ;  I  had  the  reports  of  the 
above  character  from  the  best  men  connected  with  the  Prison;  I 
have  paid  no  money  to  any  of  the  Directors;  have  loaned  $25  to 
Ferrier,  have  dunned  him  for  it,  and  consider  it  a  bona  fide  loan  ; 


37 

the  general  character  of  Merriwether  is  that  of  a  liar ;  I  never  saw 
either  Meredith  or  Ghee  under  the  influence  of  liquor;  canje  here 
January  1,  1869;  outside  of  Col.  Merriwether  and  his  friends,  have 
heard  that  the  Directors  are  sober  men  ;  Mr.  Ferrier  recommended 
Vannoy  to  me  for  reappointment;  I  did  not  reappoint  him  because 
I  had  heard  he  was  guilty  of  whi.^ky  drinking  and  prostituting  the

Have  lived  in  Jefferson vi He  since  1853;  am  now  Deputy  War- 
de\]  of  the  State  Prison  ;  am  acquainted  with  the  general  character 
of  Col.  Merriwether  for  truth  and  veracity,  it  is  rather  bad;  have 
been  connected  with  the  Prison  since  1865;  I  never  was  taxed  on 
my  wages  to  retain  my  position;  have  heard  of  such  things  being 
done;  the  former  Deputy  Warden,  Falconer,  told  me  that  he  had 
to  pay;  I  have  been  the  Deputy  Warden  since  Jaimary  1,  1869; 
was  guard  before  that  time;  know  of  no  officer  except  the  Deputy 
Warden  ever  having  paid  to  retain  place;  have  heard  that  Merri- 
wether paid  a  Director  to  resign  ;  don't  know  that  he  paid  the 
present  Directors  anything;  have  seen  Meredith  and  Ghee  one 
night  at  the  Prison;  never  saw  them  on  a  spree;  have  heard  rumors 
of  such  sprees  since  Merriwether  resigned;  saw  them  nearly  every 
time  they  were  here,  since  they  were  elected,  in  the  day. 

TKSTIMONY  OF  SAMUEL  PATTERSON,  TAK  N  AT  JEFFERSONVILLE. 

Have  resided  in  Jeffersonville  since  1836  ;  do  not  know  of  money 
having  beM^n  used  by  any  one  for  the  purpose  of  influencing  the 
Prison  Directors;  do  not  know  of  any  combination  of  citizens  of 
Jetliersonville,  or  any  other  place,  to  effect  the  removal  of  Col.  Mer- 
riwether; do  not  know  of  any  combination  for  the  purpose  of  pro- 
curing the  appointment  of  Col.  Shuler;  Mr.  Matlock  told  me  that 
Col.  •'huler  would  be  a  candidate  when  Merriwetlier's  time  expired; 
this  is  all  I  ever  heard  about  it;  can't  name  the  time  when  Mr. 
Matlock  told  me. 

Cross  Examined. — I  .-uppose  I  am  acquainted  with  the  reputa- 
tion of  Col.  Alerriwether  for  truth  and  veracity;  it  is  bad. 

Questions  Direct. — My  personal  relations  have  not  been  very 
friendly  with  him  ;  have  not  spoken  to  him  for  two  years ;  do  not 


38 


think  I  have  heard  any  man  speak  favorably  of  his  character  h>T 
truth  and  veracity ;  I  could  not  believe  hitn  under  oath  when  he  ie 
interested;  my  oj3inion  is  based  partly  on  my  own  knowle*dge,  and 
partly  on  what  I  have  heard  others  say ;  at  present  I  cannot  name 
any  person  I  have  heard  discuss  his  character  for  truth  and  veracity. 


SENATOR   HOWK. 

I  think  I  am  acquainted  with  the  general  character  of  CoL  Mer- 
riwether  for  truth  and  veracity ;  it  is  good. 

M.  p.  GHEE, 

Being  duly  sworn,  deposes  as  follows:  In  winter  of  1867,  soon 
after  my  election  as  Director  of  Southern  Prison,  Mered.th  and 
myself  were  at  the  Prison,  and  organized  the  Board  of  Directors 
by  electing  Ferrier  as  President.  This  is  the  time  referred  to  by 
Merriwether  in  his  evidence,  which  I  have  read.  I  did  not  say  to 
Merriwether,  t)n  that  occasion,  that  I  intended  to  make  money  out 
of  the  Warden  and  contractors,  nor  anything  of  the  sort;  nor  did  I 
so  tell  him  at  any  time.  I  never  .contended  that  the  Directors 
could  remove  the  Warden,  except  for  official  bad  conduct,  and 
Meriwether  so  understood  the  matter.  Indeed  he  told  me,  on  my 
first  visit  to  the  prison,  that  Ferrier  had  been  anxious  to  get  him 
out,  and  had  failed  because  he  could  prove  nothing  against  him. 
I  never  demanded  nor  received  a  cent  to  keep  Merriwether,  or  any 
other  officer,  in  his  position.  On  two  or  three  occasions  I  have 
borrowed  money  of  Merriwether,  which  I  always  repaid  with  inter- 
est, except  a  loan  about  the  fourth  of  last  July,  which  occurred  in 
this  way:  At  our  meeting  in  May,  or  first  of  June,  I  told  Merri- 
wether I  was  trying  to  compromise  my  old  debts,  and  asked  him 
to  loan  me  8250  for  that  purpose,  tellmg  him,  however,  I  could  not 
repay  it  except  by  saving  it  out  of  my  salary  as  Director,  as  it  took 
all  my  other  sources  of  income  to  live  on,  and  that  it  might  be  six, 
or  even  nine  months,  before  J  could  spare  it.  He  said  he  had  not 
the  money  to  spare  at  that  time,  but  would  let  me  have  it  at  our 
next  meeting,  wdiich  was  to  be  August  13,  1868.  After  going 
home,  1  had  an  offer  of  compromise  from  a  creditor,  which  was  so 
favorable,  that  I  wrote  the  letter  of  June  16, 1868,  read  in  evidence,, 
as  my  creditor  made  his  offe'r  conditional  that  the  money  was  to  be 
paid  by  (the)  4th  of  July.     Merriwether  sent  me  the  money  about 


39 

the  time   I  asked   it,  and    I  acknowledged    the    receipt   by  letter. 
Nothing  more  was  said  about  this  money  unfil  Vannoy  filed  his 
charges  against  Merriwether.     He  then  tried  to  bribe  nie  to  try  the 
case  without,  swearing  the  witnesses — offered    me  8500,  which   I 
refused,  and  I  never  told  him  to  get  Ferrier's  vote.     I  declined  per- 
emptorily when   the  offer  was  made.      After  Merriwether  resigned, 
and  a  new  Warden  was  elected,  I  told  Merriw^ether  I  was  not  ready 
to  pay  the  8250,  but  as  he  was  about  to  leave  the  prison,  I  would 
give  him  my  note.     He  then  told  me  (and  *^^his  was  my  first  know- 
ledge on  the  subject)  that  it   had  been  inconvenient  for  hiin  to  be 
out  of  the  use  of  the  money  so  long  as  I  wanted  this  loan,  and 
that  he  had  induced  Captain  A.  W.  Hall  to  carry  this  loan,  by  his 
agreeing  to  be  my  security,  and  that  tlie  money  was  really  to  Hall, 
and  for  me  to  make  such  arrangements  with  Hall  as  1  could,     I 
never   had   heard  before  that  Hall    had    anything  to  do   with  the 
matter.     I  should  never  have  applied  to  A.  W.  Hall  for  the  loan 
of  money,  for  1  conceived  that  he  did   not  like  me  very  well,  and 
his  father,  J.  S.  Hall,  had  refused  to  loan  me  money  once  when   I 
needed   it  badly.     Merriwether  and  A.  W.  Hall  were  at  that  time 
very  intimate,  and  he  certainly  must  have  furnished  the  money  to 
Merriwether  and  not  to  me.      in  fact  Merriwether  told  me  that  he 
had  told   Hall  that  he  (Merriwether)  had  promised  me  the  money, 
and  that  it  was  inconvenient  for  him  to  lie  out  of  the  use  ot  it  as 
long  as   I  wanted  it,  and   that  Hall  agreed  to  carry   the  loan  if 
Merriwether    would    be    my    surety.     Since  learning  these    facts, 
1  have  had   no  opportunity  to  speak  to  Hall  about  it,  as  I  left  for 
home  very  soon,  and  the  only  time  I  have  been  at  the  prison  since, 
I  was  taken  very  sick  and  could  do  no  business.     I  owe  this  money, 
according  to  Merri wether's  account,  to  A.  W.  Hall,  and  expect  to 
pay  it,  and  these  are  the  only  monetary  transactions  I  have  had 
with  either  Hall  or  Merriwether.     I  never  received  a  dollar  from 
Shuler,  nor  any  one,  for  my  vote  for  him  as  Warden.      We  went 
into  an  election  of  Warden  immediately  after  the  vacancy  occurred 
by  Merriwether's  resignation.     Nothing  was  said  by  the  Board  as 
to  the  new  Warden,  until  the  old  one  was  out.     1  had  no  candi- 
date.     Ferrier    proposed   AUoway,  and   Meredith,  Shuler.      Each 
stated  the  claims  and  merits  ot  his  candidate.     I  knew  neither  of 
them  personally,  but  had  implicit  confidence  in  the  statements  of 
my  brother  Directors,  whom   I  had  always   found  to  be  upright, 
truthful  men,  and  w^as  satisfied  that  either  of  the  candidates  would 


40 

make  a  good    Waiden,  and  my    vote  for  Shuler  was  influenced 
by  the  statement  that  AUoway  was  a  rich   man  and  did  not  need 
anything,  and  that   Shuler  was  poor,  had  been  a  good  soldier,  and 
had  been  wounded  in  the  service.     Meredith,  nor  no  other  person, 
ever  offered  me  81,500  to  vote  for  Shuler,  and  I  never  told  Vannoy 
anything  of  the  kind.     When  Vannoy  came  to  my  house,  he  pre- 
sented the  charges  against  Merriwether  to  me,  and  we  discussed 
the  matter,  and  he  told  me  all  about  Merriwether's  misconduct  in 
the  prison,  a  great  deal  of  which  is  not  in  the  charges,  and,  IVom 
his  own  story,  he  was  as  deep  in  the  mud  as  Merriwether  was  in 
the  mire.     In  other  words,  that  Merriwether  had  trusted  him,  and 
Vannoy  had  covered  up  his  tracks,  and  keeping  the  Directors  in 
ignorance  of  the   real  state  of  affairs  until  Merriwether  had  dis- 
charged  him,  and  that  he  was  then   prosecuting  for  revenge,  and 
not  from  a  sense  of  duty  to  the  public,  and  I  would  have  been  a 
"thrice  sodden  ass"  to  tell  Vannoy  that  1  had  sold   my  vote  for 
1^1,500,  at  the  very  time  he  was  betraying  the  confidence  Merri- 
wether had  placed  in  him.     After  we  had  discussed  the  charges, 
Vannoy  asked  me  who  we  would  put  in  Merriwether's  place,  and  I 
merely  said  to  him  that  it  would  be  time  enough  to  think  of  that 
when  we  got  Merriwether  out,  and   that  is   all  there  was  of  it.     I 
opposed    Ferrier's    proposition   to   reinstate   Vannoy   as   Hospital 
Steward,  and  hence  his  hostility  to  me.     In  justice  to  Ferrier,  how- 
ever, I  will  add,  that  when  he  came  to  understand  Vannoy's  part 
in  the  matter,  he  did   not  press  the  subject.      Vannoy,  Faulkner 
Deputy  Warden,  and    Work    and    Shadburn,  were   all   in  Merri- 
wether's interest,  until  the  rupture  between  Merriwether  and  Van- 
noy, and  they  held  positions  that  completely  covered  up  all  the 
mismanagement  of  prison  affairs,  and  when    their    complicity   in 
Merriwether's  bad  conduct  was  discovered,  they  were  di>cliarged. 
I  never  knew,  as  stated  by  Merriwether,  that  he  was  living  off  the 
prison  stores  without  accounting  for  them  ;  and  while  he  had  his 
creatures  around  him,  there  was  no  way  the  Board  could  tell  any- 
thing about  it.     I  never  received  nor  demanded  one  cent  from  any 
contractor,  to    influence   my   official  conduct,  nor  was  tliere  any 
reason  why  any  of  the  contractors  should  pay  or  offer  m^  anything, 
for  I  did  nothing  but  what  my  sworn  duty  required  of  me,  and   I 
Bever  told  Merriwether  that  he  ought  not  to  refuse  to  sign  the  war- 
rant for  84,000  and  prevent  us  from   making  someihing.     Merri- 
wether never  made  any  objection  to  our  letting  the  contracts  for 


41 

convict  labor,  nor  did  he  ever  intimate,  in  my  pre^rnce,  that  any- 
thing more  could  be  got.  'J'his  idea  of  his  is  an  after  tliought,  as 
is  his  story  that  1  told  him  that  I  could  make  $200  if  he  would 
re-appoiiit  Vaiinoy  Hospital  Steward.  The  only  time  I  saw 
Merriwether  after  he  discharged  Vannoy,  was  when  1  went  there  to 
try  him  on  the  charges,  and  he  was  in  no  condition  to  approach 
any  one  then.  The  question  of  Vannoy's  re-appointment  w'as  not 
spuken  of  until  after  Merriwether  resigned,  and  then,  as  I  stated, 
Ferrier  lemarked  that  he  had  earned  his  place,  by  the  services  he 
had  rendered  in  exploding  the  corrupt  practices  of  the  Warden  and 
his  subordinates.  Something  has  been  said  in  the  evidence  about 
my  drinking.  1  never  was  drunk  about  the  prison  at  any  time.  I 
am  sorry  that  my  health  is  such  that  I  am  unable  to  appear  in 
person  before  the  committee,  so  that  they  might  interrogate  me 
freely. 

F.  M.  merp:dith. 

I  was  elected  Director  of  the  State  Prison  South  in  the  winter 
of  1857.  I  visited  the  Prison,  in  company  with  Mr.  Ghee,  soon 
after  my  election.  At  this  meeting  Mr.  Ferrier  was  not  present. 
We  elected  him  President  of  the  Coard.  I  am  a  lawyer  by  pro- 
fession, and  had  examined  the  statute  as  to  the  powers  and  duties 
of  the  Directors  before  1  visited  tlie  Prison,  and  knew  what  patron- 
age we  had  as  Directors,  and  had  no  occasion  to  examine  the  law" 
at  the  Prison,  nor  to  be  surprised  that  there  were  no  more  officers 
for  us  to  elect.  I  never  at  any  time  believed  nor  contended  that 
the  Directors  could  remove  the  Warden  except  for  good  cause, 
which  must  either  come  within  our  own  knowledge,  or  be  proved 
by  competent  evidence.  1  held  that  a  cause  sufficient  to  remove 
must  be  in  he  nature  of  olTicial  misconduct  or  neglect  of  duty  on 
the  part  of  the  Warden.  Col.  Merriwether  himself  so  understood 
the  law,  and  knew  very  well  that  such  was  the  opinion  of  the 
Directors,  and  no  diHerent  construction  was  ever  attempted  to  be 
put  upon  the  law  by  the  Directors  to  my  knowledge.  I  heard  no 
such  conversation  between  Merriwether  and  Ghee,  making  money 
out  of  the  contractors  and  Warden  at  the  time  of  our  first  visit  to 
the  Prison,  nor  at  any  other  time,  and  no  such  conversation  occurred 
in  my  presence.  Col.  Merriwether  never  gave  me  one  dollar  nor 
one  cent  to  retain  him  in  office,  nor  did  he  offer  me  anything  till  he 
was  charged  with  misconduct  by  Vannoy,  nor  did  I  ever  demand  a 


42 

cent  from  him  to  retain  him  in  office.  I  did  not  say  to  him  on  the 
occasion  of  our  first  visit  to  the  Prison  that  Col.  Shuh^r  would  o^ive 
$2,000  for  the  position,  nor  that  a  man  in  Indianapolis  would  give 
•S4,000.  Neither  did  Ghee  say  so  in  my  presence.  I  did  not  know 
at  That  time  that  such  a  man  was  in  existence  as  Col.  Shuler,  and 
Ghee  never  saw  Shuler  until  after  he  v^as  elected  Warden  in  last 
December.  I  became  intimate  with  Col.  MeiTiwether  soon  alter 
my  election.  He  knew  that  I  was  in  straitened  circumstances,  and 
he  professed  to  he  my  friend.  In  Jnly,  1867,  my  property  was 
about  to  be  levied  upon,  and  I  was  soiely  in  need  of  money.  I 
wrote  to  Col.  Merri wether,  stating  the  circnmstances,  and  asked  if 
he  could  loan  me  five  hundred  dollars.  After  a  few  days  time  he 
complied  with  my  request,  and  sent  me  the  money  by  express,  but 
I  said  nothing  to  him  in  that  letter  about  getting  money  from  the 
Halls,  or  any  contractor,  and  I  did  not  know  till  last  E^^riday  that 
A.  H.  Hall,  or  any  one  but  Mtrriwether,  had  furnished  any  part  of 
that  money.  At  the  time  I  got  this  money  I  expected  to  repay  it 
out  of  my  salary  as  Director,  and  that  was  one  reason  for  my  asking 
Merri  wether  for  it.  I  was  at  that  time  engaged  as  editor  of  tlie 
Terre  Haute  Express  on  a  salary.  Soon  after  getting  this  money 
the  owner  of  the  paper  made  such  arrangements  that  he  d'd  not 
need  my  services,  and  1  needed  all  my  salary  and  more,  too,  to 
live  on. 

Col.  Merriwether  was  informed  of  this,  and  1  told  him  I  expected 
to  be  a  candidate  for  Clerk  of  our  county  courts,  with  a  fair  pros- 
pect of  success.  This  was  an  office  worth  from  8^,000  to  $8,000 
per  year.  The  Ct)l.  said  it  made  no  difference,  take  my  time  to 
repay  him,  and  if  I  needed  more  money  to  make  my  race  he  would 
loan  it  to  me,  or  as  he  termed  it,  hel[)  me  bridge  over  the  gap.  Of 
course  had  I  been  elected  Clerk  I  would  have  had  to  resign  as 
Director,  and  Merriwether  knew  this  fact.  I  accordingly  borrowed 
of  him  afterwards  on  three  occasions,  to  the  best  of  my  recollection. 
Twice  I  borrowed  one  hundred  dollars,  and  at  one  time  fifty  dollars. 
These  sums  I  repaid  to  Col.  Merriwether,  and  paid  him  interest  on 
each  loan.  On  one  of  the  hundred  dollar  loans  I  paid  him  six  dol- 
lars, although  1  had  it  less  than  ninety  days.  The  reason  of  this 
was,  Merriwether  told  me  he  had  to  borrow  it  for  me,  and  that  he 
paid  six  dollars  for  the  use  of  it.  I  was  defeated  in  the  convention 
for  Clerk  by  one  vote,  and  was  unable  to  repay  Merriwether  the 
$500  without  creating  a  new  debt,  or  without  borrowing  from  some 


43 

one  else.  Merrlwether  knew  this,  and  did  not  press  me  for  the 
money.  When  thr  charges  were  Hied  against  him  by  Vannoy,  he 
ofl'ered  to  give  nie  a  receipt  against  the  ^500  if  we  would  try  the 
charges  without  swearing  the  witnesses.  I  refused  to  listen  to  this 
proposition,  and  he  got  angry,  and  demanded,  after  he  resigned, 
that  I  should  pay  the  money  immediately.  This  was  on  the  31st 
day  of  Deceit! ber  last.  I  told  him  I  could  not  then,  but  informed 
him  I  would  try  and  pay  him  a  part  of  it  in  a  few  days.  But  my 
money  matters  were  so  I  could  not  do  so.  I  owe  him  8500,  with 
interest  from  July,  1867,  and  expt^ct  lo  pay  him  when  I  can  procure 
the  money,  and  this  is  the  whole  story  about  any  monetary  trans- 
actions between  us.  In  relation  to  the  appointinent  of  Col.  Shuler 
as  Warden,  I  have  this  to  say:  The  first  I  ever  heard  of  Colonel 
Shuler  was  from  John  Matlock,  Esq.,  some  time  last  sutiimer.  He 
spoke  of  Col.  tShuler  as  a  soldier,  and  of  his  being  poor,  and  rec- 
ommended him  in  high  tert»js  as  a  candidate  for  the  Wardenship 
when  Col.  Merri wether's  time  expired.  I  told  him  that  if  Colonel 
Shuler  was  what  he  represented  him  to  be,  1  would  vote  for  him. 
Not  a  word  was  said  about  money,  nor  any  other  inducement  to 
vote  for  him.  Col.  Shuler  was  afterwards  recommended  to  nn;, 
and  on  inquiry  I  found  he  had  been  raised  in  Terre  Haute,  where 
I  reside,  and  when  the  vacancy  occurred  in  the  Wardenship,  I 
nominated  Col.  Shuler.  Mr.  Ferrier  nominated  Mr.  Alloway  at 
the  meeting  of  the  Board.  Mr.  Ghee  hesitated  some  time  as  to 
whom  he  would  vote  for.  Said  he  knew  neither  one  of  them,  and 
finally  on  my  representation  that  Shuler  was  poor,  and  that  he  had 
bet  n  a  good  soldier,  and  that  Alloway  was  a  rich  man,  he  decided 
to  vote  for  Shuler  with  me.  Col.  Shuler,  at  the  time  of  his  elec- 
tion, did  not  know  there  was  a  vacancy,  for  we  elected  him  the 
same  day  on  which  Merrlwether  resigned.  Neither  he,  nor  any  one 
for  him,  offered  to  pay  me  one  cent  for  my  vote. 

At  the  time  Vannoy  says  he  was  at  Ghee's  house  in  Vincennes, 
and  that  Ghee  told  him  I  had  offered  ^1,500  for  his  vote  for  Shuler, 
I  did  not  know  that  charges  had  been  or  would  be  preferred  against 
Merrlwether,  nor  that  there  would  be  a  vacancy  until  Merriwether's 
time  expired  in  June  next.  1  made  no  such  offer  to  Ghee,  and  had 
no  authority  from  any  one  to  make  such  an  offer.  This  Vannoy 
was  a  tool  of  Merriwether's;  and  so  long  as  they  agreed  the  Direc- 
tors could  find  out  nothing  about  the  misconduct  of  either  of  them. 
They  fell  out,  and  each  charged  the  other  with  all  kinds  of  miscon- 


44 

duct,  and  with  prostituting  the  female  convicts.  One  of  the  fenfialc 
convicts  became  pregnant  while  in  Prison,  and  Merriwether  accused 
Vannoy  with  being  the  father  of  the  child,  and  procured  his  arrrst 
on  a  charge  of  bastardy.  P^alkner  and  Shadburne  were  also  Mer- 
riwether's  creatures,  who  screened  all  his  conduct,  and  Col.  Shuler 
very  properly  discharged  them.  Vannoy  wanted  to  be  reinstated 
Hospital  Steward.  ]VIr.  Ferrier  was  in  favor  oi  reinstating  him, 
because  he  had  come  out  and  exposed  the  whole  misconduct  of 
Mrrriwether,  and  his  men  Falkner,  Work  and  Shadburn,  and 
thought  he  had  earned  his  position  by  so  doing;  and  further,  he 
did  not  seem  to  think  that  Vannoy  was  so  bad  as  the  others.  I 
was  satisfied  he  was  as  deep  in  the  matter  as  any  of  them,  and 
protested  against  his  being  reinstated;  hence  his  hostility  to  me. 
Ghee  was  opposed  to  his  being  r<^-appointed,  as  1  understood. 
No  contractor  ever  paid  me,  or  offered  to  pay  me,  one  cent  of 
money,  nor  })romised  me  anything  to  influence  my  official  conduct. 
There  was  nothing  1  could  do  for  the  contractors  which  the  law  did 
nor,  make  it  my  imperative  duty  to  do.  These  contractors  were 
the  highest  bidders  for  the  convict  labor,  they  bidding  fifty  cents 
per  day,  and  the  next  highest  bids  being  bur  thirty-eight,  cents. 
Neither  Ghee  nor  myself  could  have  given  any  plausible  reason  for 
not  letting  the  contracts  as  we  did.  Mr.  Ferrier  agreed  with  us, 
and  CoL  Merriwether  never  at  any  time  intimated  thar  more  could 
be  got  for  the  convict  labor  from  these  contractor-,  nor  did  he  make 
any  suggestions  on  the  subject,  nor  did  he,  in  any  way,  make  any 
objeciions  to  our  letting  the  contracts  to  them.  The  building  of 
the  blacksmith  shop  we  regarded  as  a  necessary  improvement. 
Gov.  Baker  was  here  and  advised  that  the  improvement  be  made, 
as  I  have  reason  to  know.  All  the  Directors  agreed  to  it.  There 
is  a  mistake  in  our  Report  as  to  the  cost  of  the  building  being 
§4,000  more  than  we  paid  for  it,  bur  it  was  ^1,300  more.  The 
Physician  recommended  the  building  of  it  as  neces>ary  to  the 
health  of  the  workmen.  1  did  nor  say  to  Col.  Merriwether,  nor  did 
Ghee  in  my  presence,  that  he  ought  not  to  prevent  us  making 
something  out  of  it  by  refusing  to  sign  the  warrant,  for  we  were 
making  nothing  out  of  it.  Merriwether  wanted  to  enter  his  pro- 
test on  the  journal  that  this  money  was  ajjpropriated  for  current 
expenses,  and  ought  not  to  be  applied  to  enlarging  the  Prison. 
These  were  his  only  objectio!is.  He  thought  the  improvement  a 
good  and  necessary  one,  and  approved  the  whole  matter,  provided 


45 

the  money  could  be  got  from  any  other  source.  We  told  him  he 
could  prote.-^t  as  much  as  he  pleased. 

On  one  occasion  I  visited  the  Matron,  Mrs.  Berry.  1  had  never 
been  to  her  apartments,  and  asked  Vannoy  to  show  me  where  they 
were.  He  did  so.  Jt  was  about  eight  o'clock  in  the  evening.  Tliis 
was  the  only  visit  I  ever  paid  her  in  the  evening,  and  even  then  I 
was  not  in  her  presence  more  than  ten  minutes.  Her  daughter,  a 
girl  of  eight  or  ten  years,  was  present.  I  should  not  have  thought 
it  worth  while  to  explain  so  trivial  a  circumstance,  had  not  a  mem- 
ber of  the  committee  followed  up  the  inquiry  o!i  this  point  to  the 
third  witness,  after  the  first  one  explained  it  substantially  as  I  have 
done.  I  will  add  that  Mrs.  Berry's  character  was  above  suspicion. 
I  will  state  that  I  never  was  intoxicated  during  business  hours  at 
this  Prison  since  my  election;  nor  was  I  ever  drunk  at  the  Prison, 
night  or  day.  it  would  not  be  proper  for  me  to  state  my  general 
habits  of  sobriety,  but  will  leave  that  matter  to  the  witnesses  who 
know  me  best,  i  did  not  know  the  manner  of  Merriwether's  get- 
ting his  provisions  from  the  State  until  after  Shuler  came  into 
office;  nor  do  I  know  what  the  practice  was  by  former  Wardens. 

In  relation  to  Matthews,  the  facts  are  simply  these:  His  agent 
talked  to  me  about  the  case,  and  I  inquired  into  the  particulars; 
found  that  he  was  a  good  convict;  that  all  the  officers,  and  even 
some  of  the  guards  about  the  Prison,  sympathized  with  him,  and 
thought  he  ought  to  be  pardoned,  and  that  his  health  was  such 
that  it  was  likely  Prison  life  would  kill  him.  The  charge  was 
homicide;  and  it  was  represented  to  me  that  even  the  Prosecuting 
Attorney  who  tried  the  case  entertained  doubts  of  his  guilt.  1  l)e- 
came  interested  in  his  case,  and  promised  to  do  what  1  could  for 
him  before  anything  was  said  about  pay. 

His  agent  then  said  that  Matthews  has  money,  and  if  you  suc- 
ceed in  getting  his  pardon,  ]  will  make  him  give  you  $2000.  I 
rejilied  that  I  should  not  charge  a  cent  except  for  my  expenses  and 
time  spent  in  the  matter,  and  that  it  must  be  left  to  Matthews'  own 
free  will  whether  he  presented  me  anything  or  not,  after  the  work 
was  done.  I  think  it  very  probable  the  agent  told  Matthews  he 
must  give  me  $2000,  and  this  is  what  Mattliews  meant  by  testify- 
ing that  he  sanctioned  the  contract  of  his  own  "  free  will."  I 
received  $90  for  expenses,  and  spent  much  time  in  getting  up  the 
facts  of  the  case,  and  was  put  to  more  trouble  and  expense  than 
S90.     When  the  Governor  learned  that  Matthews  was  a  deserter, 


46 

it  was  thought  proper  on  Matthevv.s'  statements  that  he  was  a  good  | 
soldier  and  was  honorably  discharged,  for  me  to  go  to  Ohio  and 
inquire  into  the  matter.  I  got  the  money  to  the  amount  of  the 
note  from  Matthews,  but  he  is  mistaken  as  to  the  condiiion  on 
which  the  nore  was  given.  It  was  not  thai  I  was  t(^  pay  it  hII  if  I 
did  not  get  the  pardon,  but  I  was  to  pny  him  all  that  1  did  not 
spend  in  his  behalf  in  the  way  of  traveling  expenses.  1  never 
agreed  to  bear  my  own  expenses  if  1  did  not  get  the  pardon.  He 
is  also  mistaken  as  to  my  going  io  Ohio.  I  did  not  go.  He  gave  J 
me  the  names  of  ihe  officers  and  nien  of  his  regiment  whose  state- 
ments he  wanted,  and  I  wrote  to  some  of  them  in  order  to  find 
where  they  all  lived,  so  as  not  to  be  at  more  expense  in  finding 
them  than  was  necessary,  and  while  engaged  in  this  correspondence, 
another  charge  was  brought  to  the  Governor's  attention,  and  he 
decided  not  to  pardon  iMatthews.  I  have  made  no  other  cliaroe 
than  the  $90,  as  I  have  spent  no  money  for  which  the  note  was 
given.  M:itthews  was  willing  for  me  to  retain  the  money,  and  use 
it  until  such  time  as  he  may  need  it,  and  that  is  all  there  is  of  the 
matter. 

Cross  Examined. — 1  conversed  with  Matthews,  agent  before  I  saw 
Matthews.  Knew  nothing  of  Matthews  before  1  met  the  agent. 
Did  not  know  Mathews  before  tneeting  the  agent.  I  did  not  go  to 
Ohio.  Atn  not  acquainted  with  Matthews'  family.  I  met  his 
agent  at  the  prison,  I  think,  a  year  and  a  half  ago,  and  he  tt)ld 
me  the  story  of  his  life,  atid  I  enquired  of  some  of  the  men  at 
the  Prison,  and  learned  he  was  a  good  convict.  It  was  the  state-  j 
ment  of  his  agent,  and  the  statements  of  those  at  the  Prison, 
that  interested  me  in  Matthews.  I  did  not  know  where  he  lived, 
further  than  the  information  t'urnished  me  by  other  parties.  I  only 
know  where  his  family  lived  by  information  I  got  from  others. 
I  think  he  has  neither  father,  mother,  brother,  or  sister,  living.  I 
do  not  know  that  I  ever  represented  that  I  did  know  the  family  of 
Matthews. 

I  wrote  to  the  Governor  in  relation  to  Matthews.  I  also  ap- 
plied to  the  Governor  personally,  and  he  remarked  that  I  should 
get  up  the  papers.  I  presented  a  synopsis  of  the  evidence  in 
the  case,  as  represented  by  Judge  Chapman,  the  <  lerk,  and  other 
officers  of  the  Court;  also  on  the  representation  of  the  Warden 
as  to  his  health.     I  think  I  wrote  to  the  Governor  but  once.     My 


47 

memory  ordinarily  is  pretty  good.  Do  not  remember  that  I  made 
the  representation  to  the  Governor  that  I  was  acquainted  with  the 
family  of  Matthews,  and  boarded  with  them  when  going  to  school: 
or  on  account  of  their  Idndness  was  placed  under  obligations  to 
them,  and  for  that  reason  was  especially  interested  in  the  case  of 
the  young  man. 

COLON  FL    BAIKD. 

Mr.  Meredith  came  to  Terre  Haute  in  1832.  I  was  in  the  army 
at  that  time,  and  cannot  speak  of  his  habits  while  I  was  away. 
He  always  had  the  character  of  a  sober  man.  He  does  sometimcK 
take  a  drain  as  do  almost  all  business  men  there.  The  temper- 
ance men  supported  him  for  Clerk.  I  do  not  know  what  his  habit;^ 
aie  when  away  from   home. 

JOSIAH      REEDER. 

Bjj  Committee. —  I  have  not  b(^en  in  the  Prison  for  four  years, 
unil  summoned  here  by  the  Committee.  Have  resided  here  since 
1838.  Have  known  Colonel  Merriwether  since  1855.  In  political 
matters  his  morals  have  been  bad;  have  seen  him  under  the  influ- 
ence of  whisky,  and  have  heaid  him  swear,  (.'annot  say  that  I 
am  acquainted  with  his  character  for  truth  and  veracity. 

CYRUS   T.  NIXOM. 

By  Committee. — I  reside  in  New  Albany.  Am  acquainted  with 
Col.  Merriwether;  have  known  him  since  1860;  we  don't  like  each 
other;  have  heard  his  character  discussed,  but  do  not  know  enough 
about  him  to  make  a  statement  as  to  his  general  character. 

COVKKNOR  CONRAD  BAKER. 

By  Comynittce. — I  think  some  time  in  December,  1867,  Mr.  Mer- 
edith came  to  my  rooms,  and  stated  that  there  was  a  man  in  the 
Southern  Penitentiary  to  whose  family  he  was  under  lasting  obli- 
gations. He  said  he  had  boarded  in  their  family  when  a  boy,  at 
Yellow  Springs,  Ohio;  that  they  had  trusted  him  for  his  boarding, 
and  that  he  considered  himself  under  obligations  to  the  iamily 
for  the  education  he  had  received,  and  that  the  family  was  in 
distress  by  reason  of  the  imprisonment  of  the  young  man,  and 
desired  him  to  present  an  application  for  a  pardon;  that  his  posi- 


48 

tion  as  a  Director  of  the  Prison  rendered  it  a  delicate  matter  for 
him  to  present  such  an  application;  and  yet  his  obligations  to  the 
family  were  such  that  he  felt  ahnost  bound  1o  do  it,  and  that  he 
desired  my  views  upon  the  matter;  that  I  promptly  told  him 
that  the  facts  he  stated,  in  my  opinion,  rendered  it  an  exceptional 
case,  and  that  if  he  saw  proper  to  present  the  application  for  a  par- 
don, I  would  make  no  objection  to  his  doing  so,  and  would  consider 
and  decide  the  application  on  its  merits,  and  the  fact  of  his  being 
a  director  should  have  no  influence  upon  my  action;  that  he  did 
present  the  application,  and  that  I  examined  it  shortly  afterwards; 
that  he  (Mr.  M.)  had,  as  I  recollected,  written  one  letter  to 
Captain  Commons  before  I  examined  the  case;  that  on  the 
8tli  of  February,  1868,  I  wrote  to  Meredith,  declining  to  pardon 
Matthews,  giving  fully  my  reasons,  a  copy  of  which  letter  I  fur- 
nished the  committee;  that  subsequently,  in  September,  1868,  Mr. 
Meredith  replied  at  length  to  my  letter,  which  reply  I  read  to  the 
committee,  and  furnished  them  with  a  copy.  On  my  cross-exam- 
ination by  Mr.  M.'s  attorney,  I  stated  that  he  did  not  use  any 
improper  means  to  induce  me  to  grant  the  pardon,  except  his  rep- 
resentations as  to  his  relations  to  the  family  of  Matthews,  which  I 
fully  believed  at  the  time,  but  afterwards  ascertained  nottobetrue; 
that  this  and  the  disrespectful  character  of  his  reply  to  my  refusal 
to  grant  the  pardon,  were  the  only  grounds  of  complaint  1  had  io 
make  as  to  his  conduct  in  relation  to  the  matter.  The  above  I 
believe  to  be  a  correct  statement  of  my  testimony. 

JOHN    M.    COMMONS 

Sworn  and  testified  as  follows : 

Mr.  Meredith  came  here  about  a  year  ago,  and  wanted  to  seethe 
Governor  about  the  pardon  of  John  S.  Matthews.  He  sought  an 
interview  with  me  in  this  room.  He  first  stated  that  he  had  known 
the  family  of  Matthews,  his  brother  and  sister,  at  Yellow  Springs, 
Ohio.  He  was  then  going  to  school.  Was  in  limited  circum- 
stances financially.  Went  to  board  with  them.  I  think  he  told 
me  the  family  boarded  him  and  trusted  him  for  the  same,  thereby 
enabling  him  to  get  through  with  his  studies,  and  for  that  accommo- 
dation, he  felt  under  obligation  to  the  family  to  do  anything  for 
the  relief  of  young  Matthews  that  he  could.  In  view  of  an  order 
that  had  been  previously  passed  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Southern  Prison,  to  the  effect  that  none  of  the  officers  of  the  prison 


49 

or  directors  should  interfere  in  applications  for  pardons,  or  give 
information  in  regard  to  convicts  unless  requested  by  the  Governor, 
he  asked  me  if  I  thought  there  would  be  any  impropriety  in  his 
presenting  this  application  to  the  Governor.  I  told  him  that,  under 
the  circumslances  which  he  had  just  named,  I  did  not  think  there 
could  be  any  impropriety  in  his  making  the  application.  That  I 
felt  assured  the  Governor  would  forego  any  opinion  of  his  own  that 
he  might  have  in  view  of  the  statement  of  facts  which  he  had  just 
given  me,  and  would  take  no  exception  on  account  of  his  being  a 
a  director  to  his  presenting  such  an  application.  I  think  he  repeated 
the  question  as  to  the  propriety  of  presenting  the  application  once 
or  twice,  and  I  repeated  my  answer  about  as  often,  and  in  about 
the  same  language,  and  also  requesting  him  at  the  same  time  to  go 
in  and  see  the  Governor  on  the  subject.  He  did  not  go  in  and  see 
the  Governor  at  that  time,  but  saw  him  on  a  subsequent  occasion, 
I  think  soon  after.  I  think  he  stated  to  me  during  the  interview 
already  spoken  of,  that  the  mother  and  sister  at  that  time  resided 
in  the  city  of  Pittsburg,  and  were  in  poor  circumstances,  having 
exhausted  about  all  their  means  in  the  defense  of  the  said  John  L. 
Matthews,  and  that  they  were  therefore  unable  to  compensate  any 
one  for  any  effort  they  might  make  in  procuring  his  pardon,  and 
gave  me  to  understand  that  there  was  no  pecuniary  consideration 
in  the  effort  which  he  was  about  making,  but  that  he  felt  it  a  duty 
to  discharge  the  obligations  already  resting  upon  him  on  account 
of  former  kindness  of  the  family,  and  to  do  what  he  could  to  pro- 
cure his  pardon.  I  think  that  was  about  all  he  said  to  me.  He 
afterwards,  on  the  same  day  or  the  day  following,  had  a  few  mo- 
ments' conversation  with  me,  and  desired  me  at  the  proper  time  to 
call  the  Governor's  attention  to  the  subject.  He  afterwards  wrote 
to  me  in  regard  to  the  Governor's  reply,  as  shown  by  the  letter  on 
file,  to  which  I  replied  in  accordance  with  the  Governor's  directions. 

Mr.  Ruddell,  of  the  Committee,  propounded  this  question  to  J. 
B.  Merriwether: 

State  what  you  know  in  relation  to  the  payment  of  money  by 
one  McKinney,  while  an  officer  of  the  prison,  to  retain  his  position. 

Answer.     McKinney   was  Deputy   Warden  when   I  came  in 

office;  this  was  before  Meredith  and  Ghee  were  elected.     When  I 

— D.  J.— 13R.  C.  S.  P.  S.- 


50 

came  out  of  the  army,  or  some   time  after,  this  wardenship  was 
offered  to  me,  but  there  was  a  director  named  Donelson,  whom  it 
was  thought  necessary  to  get  rid  of.     I  was  approached  on  the  sub- 
ject.    Donelson  was  in  the  way  of  the  prison  being  managed  prop- 
erly ;  he  was  continually  raising  technical  questions  against  the 
contractors,  and  bringing  suits  against  them.     I  was  told  that  if  we 
could  get  him  out  of  the  way,  Governor   Morton  would  appoint  a 
man  to  suit  us.     I  went  to  see  T.  C.  Slaughter  and  Judge  Jesse  J. 
Brown,  and  consulted  with  them,  and  it  was  understood  that  Don- 
elson was  to  be  got  rid   of,  and  Governor  Morton  would  appoint 
whoever  Slaughter  and  Jesse  J.  Brown  recommended,  and  that 
Slaughter  and  Brown  would  run  the  institution.     Donelson  wanted 
^5,000  to  resign,  and  I  agreed   to  furnish   S2,000   of  the  amount 
and  did  raise  it  and  the   $5,000  was  paid  to  Donelson    and  he 
resigned ;  and  the  Deputy  Warden  and  other  officers  of  the  prison 
under  me,  when  I  came  in  as  Warden,  voluntarily  agreed  to  repay 
me  one-half  of  this  amount,  to  be  kept  out  of  their  wages.     When 
McKinney  was  discharged,  he  had  paid  a  portion  of  his  part,  and 
it  was  refunded  to  him. 

[Mem. — This  evidence  proved  too  much,  and  was  suppressed  by 
the  Committee.] 

Resolved^  That  the  omitted  testimony  of  J.  B.  Merriwether  be 
printed  with  the  o^her  testimony  taken  by  the  committee,  and  that 
the  Committee  on  Prisons  be  requested  to  fill  the  blank. 

A  true  copy  of  a  resolution  adopted  by  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives, April  21,  1869.

SUPPLEMENTAL   REPORT. 


INDIANA  STATE  PRISON,  SOUTH, 

Jkffersonvillf,   April  6th,  1869. 

To   Honorable   Conrad   Bakrh, 

Sir: — In  view  of  the  Special  Session  of  The  Legislature  about 
to  convene,  and  the  developemcnt  of  important  facts  concerning 
Pri-^on  affairs  since  our  last  report,  we  deem  it  important  to  present 
to  your  consideration  the  following: 

The  laws  of  the  State  confer  on  the  Warden  the  sole  power  of 
making  all  contracts  for  Prison  supplies,  without  any  limitation  or 
hindrance  from  the  Directors,  and  hence  the  latter  can  never  know 
what  are  the  expenditures  or  liabilities  of  the  Prison,  except  from 
the  accounts  and  statements   of  the    Warden   and  his  Clerk. 

On  this  basis,  and  relying  on  the  correctness  of  the  representa- 
tions of  the  late  Warden,  it  was  that  the  Directors,  in  their 
Annual  Report,  declared  the  Prison  to  be  self-sustaining.  But  on 
a  thorough  examination  of  the  affairs,  with  the  assistance  of  the 
new  Warden,  they  regret  to  find  it  otherwise. 

As  a  specimen  of  the  deceptive  figures  given  them,  they  would 
call  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  Warden's  figures  are  based  on 
the  cash  receipts  and  disbursements,  not  taking  his  liabilities  or 
loss  on  invoices.  Indeed,  he  claims  an  increase  of  provisions  etc., 
when  the  Clerk's  tables  show  a  large  falling  off. 
D.  J.— S.  R.  S.  P.  S.— 11 


A  thorough  overhauling  of  accounts  show  that,  the  total  earnings 
of  the  Prison  for  the  last  year,  was  fil'ty-four  thousand,  two  hun- 
dred and  seventy-three  dollars  and  seventy  cents,  (8-54,273  70,) 
while  the  expenditure  was  sixty-two  thousand,  two  hundred  and 
forty-five  dollars  and  ten  cents,  ($62,245  10,)  showing  a  deficit 
of  seven  thousand  nine  hundred  and  seventy-one  dollars  and  for- 
ty cents,  (87,971  40.)  Of  this  amount  84,432  62  cents  is  charge- 
able  to  account  of  repairs;  but  there  must  be  added  81,669  74 
cents,  of  accounts  of  the  late  Warden,  presented  since  his  resig- 
nation, and  of  which  neither  Clerk  nor  Directors  had  previous 
knowledge,  leaving  the  real  deficit  85,208  52  cents.  The  number 
of  prisoners  reported  was  405,  showing  that  each  prisoner  costs  the 
State  812  86  cents  per  year  more  than  is  earned. 

The  New  York  State  Prison  at  Auburn  reports  to  the  Legisla- 
ture a  deficiency  of  835  00  per  man,  while  in  the  Sing  Sing  Prison 
the  deficiency  is  still  greater,  being  nearly  $100,000  to  1,293  con- 
victs. It  must  be  remembered  further  that  19  of  our  convicts  are 
females,  whose  labor  is  not  profitably  employed.  In  New  York 
the  female  department  costs  $29,500,  and  earns  less  than  85,000. 

We  feel  compelled  to  say  that  the  statement  in  the  Annual  Re- 
port of  the  Board,  that  in  all  probability  no  extensive  repairs  would 
be  required  for  several  years,  was  unadvised.  On  a  thorough  exa- 
mination of  the  buildings  we  find  the  roofs,  spouting  and  other  por- 
tions in  bad  condition.  In  fact,  the  original  construction  was  de- 
fective, and  signs  of  dilapidation  are  apparent  in  various  parts 
which  require  immediate  attention,  or  else  will  involve  large  future 
expenditures. 

We  would  ask  from  the  Legislature  an  appropriation  of  85,000 
for  repairs  for  the  current  year,  and  if  the  members  are  not  satis- 
fied of  its  necessity  we  ask  them  that  their  Committee  on  Prison» 
may  be  instructed  to  make  a  personal  examination ;  that  body  will 
of  course  feel  it  necessary  to  make  the  usual  appropriations  for 
unexpected  contingencies,  which,  however,  we  hope  we  shall  have 
no  occasion  to  use. 

We  would  again  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  number  of 
prisoners  in  our  charge  is  decreasing.    We  should  be  glad  to  record 


this  fact  if  it  were  an  evidence  of  a  decrease  of  crime,  but  while 
our  numbers  are  diminished  far  below  the  capacity  of  our  prison 
and  workshops,  and  is  one  cause  of  our  failure  to  meet  all  our  cur- 
rent e^xpenses,  the  number  of  convicts  in  the  Prison,  North,  is  in- 
creasing beyond  their  means  of  profitable  employment;  this  is  a 
loss  to  the  State,  and  can  be  easily  remedied  by  again  transferring 
Marion  county  to  the  South. 

We  also  feel  it  to  be  our  duty  to  call  attention  again  to  the  abso- 
lute need  of  a  Library  for  the  use  of  the  convicts.  We  would  not 
be  importunate,  but  the  honor  of  the  State  and  the  good  of  the 
prisoners  are  equally  involved,  and  we  feel  that  the  matter  should 
not  be  delayed.  The  State  cannot  expend  a  thousand  dollars  to  a 
better  advantage. 

All  of  which  is  respectftlly  submitted,

DEPARTMENT  OF  PUBLIC  INSTRUCTION, 
Office  of  Superintendent, 

Indianapolis,  June  1,  18G9. 

iSc«tion  129  of  the  School  Law  provides  that  the  Superintendent  of 
Public  Instruction  "shall  cause  as  many  copies  of  the  acts  of  the  Genera^ 
Assembly  in  relation  to  Common  Schools  or  the  School  Funds,  with  neces. 
sary  forms,  instructions,  and  regulations,  to  be  from  time  to  time  printed 
and  distributed  among  the  School  Townships  as  he  shall  deem  the  public 
good  requires."' 

The  following  reprint  is  made  in  complianee  with  the  above  provision. 
In  the  correspondence  with  this  office,  many  inquiries  have  been  made 
relative  to  the  construction  of  the  Statutes.  The  notes,  explanations? 
suggestions,  and  decisions  given,  are  such  as  have  resulted  from  these  in- 
quiries. For  the  sake  of  convenience,  the  explanations  are  brought  in 
close  proximity  to  the  Statutes  to  which  they  relate^ 

Our  school  system  is  yet  incomplete.  Several  valuable  emendations 
failed  to  reach  their  passage  during  the  last  General  Assembly.  The  acts 
passed  during  the  sessions  of  1867  and  1869  will  be  found  appended  to 
the  Law  of  1865.  A  few  decisions  from  this  office  and  a  circular  of  the 
State  Board  of  Education  will  also  appear  in  the  appendix. 

The  whole  is  commended  to  the  careful  examination  and  observance  of 
School  Officers  and  Teachers,  and  of  all  who  may  cooperate  with  them  in 
conducting  the  educational  interests  of  the  State.

What  to  consti- 


AN  ACT  to  provide  for  a  general  system  of  Common  Schools,  the  officers 
thereof,  and  their  respective  powers  and  duties,  and  matters  properly 
connected  therewith,  and  prescribing  the  fe^s  for  certain  officers  there- 
in named,  and  for  the  establishment  and  regulation  of  Township  Libra- 
ries, and  to  repeal  all  laws  inconsistent  therewith,  providing  penalties 

•   therein  prescribed. 

[Approved  March  6,  1865.] 

Section  1.  Be  it  enacted  hy  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
State  of  Indiana,  That  there  shall  be  annually  assessed  and 
collected,  as  State  and  county  revenues  are  assessed  and  col- 
lected, sixteen  cents  on  each  one  hundred  dollars  of  taxable 
property,  real  and  personal,  in  the  State,  and  fifty  cents  on 
each  taxable  poll,  for  the  purpose  of  supporting  a  general  ^ 
system  of  Common  Schools  :  Provided,  however,  That  the 
taxes  aforesaid  shall  not  be  levied  and  collected  from  negroes  ^''°^'^^- 
nor  mulattoes. 

Sec.  2.  The  funds  heretofore  known  and  designated  as  the 
Surplus  Revenue  Funds,  all  funds  heretofore  appropriated  to  tute'cummoT 
Common  Schools,  the  Saline  Fund,  the  Bank  (tax)  Fund,  the  ^''''''  ^"°^- 
fund  which  has  been  derived  or  may  be  derived  from  the  sale 
of  county  seminaries  and  the  property  belonging  thereto,  the 
moneys  and  property  heretofore  held  for  such  seminaries,  all 
fines  assessed  for  breaches  of  the  penal  laws  of  the  State,  all 
forfeitures  which  may  accrue,  all  lands  and  other  estate  which

Sec.  1.  The  proviso  of  this  section  is  repealed.  (See  Act  passed  at 
Special  Session,  1869,  to  render  taxes  for  schools  uniform,  &c.)  Here, 
after,  negroes  and  mulattoes  will  be  upon  the  same  footing  as  others  with 
regard  to  school  taxes. 

Sec.  2.  Besides  the  funds  enumerated,  it  is  here  provided  that  "all 
funds  heretofore  appropriated  to  common  schools''  shall  form  part  of  the 
Common  School  Fund.  This  provision  is  contained  in  the  School  Law 
of  1852,  and  in  all  general  school  laws  since  enacted.  In  1844,  moneys 
derived  from  the  sale  of  estrays  and  articles  found  adrift  were  appropria-

granted,  or  may  be  granted  hereafter,  to  the  State,  when  no 
special  object  is  expressed  in  the  grant,  the  proceeds  of  the 
sales  of  the  swamp  lands  granted  to  the  State  of  Indiana  by 
the  act  of  Congress  of  September,  1850,  the  taxes  which  may 
be  assessed  from  time  to  time  upon  the  property  of  corpora- 
tions for  Common  School  purposes,  the  fund  arising  from  the 
114th  section  of  the  charter  of  the  State  Bank  of  Indiana, 
shall  be  denominated  the  Common  School  Fund,  and  the  fund 
derived  from  the  sale  of  Congressional  Township  School 
Lands,  and  the  unsold  Congressional  Township  School  Land, 
at  the  reasonable  value  thereof,  shall  be  denominated  the 
"Congressional  Township  School  Fund,"  and  shall  never  be 
diminished  in  amount,  the  income  of  which,  together  with  the 
taxes  mentioned  and  specified  in  the  first  section  of  this  act, 
the  money  and  income  derived  from  licenses  for  the  sale  of 
intoxicating  liquors,  and  unclaimed  fees,  as  provided  by  law, 
shall  be  denominated  the  School  Revenue  for  Tuition,  the 
whole  of  which  is  hereby  appropriated,  and  shall  be  applied 
Income  of  fund  exclusively  to  fumishing  tuition  to  the  Common  Schools  of 
ruidmi. '^"^  *°  the  State,  without  any  deduction  lor  the  expense  of  collec- 
tion or  disbursement. 
Sr"f"Jud' ''''^^^  Sec.  3.  The  several  counties  of  this  State  shall  be  held 
liable  for  the  preservation  of  so  much  of  said  fund  as  is  en- 
trusted or  may  have  been  entrusted  to  them,  and  for  the  pay- 
ment of  the  annual  interest  thereon,  at  the  rate  established 
^  by  law,  the  payment  of  which  interest  shall  be  full  and  com- 
"  plete  every  year,  and  shall  so  appear  in  the  Auditor's  report 
to  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction;  and  the  said 
Superintendent  shall,  at  any  time,  when  he  discovers,  from 
the  report,  or  otherwise,  that  there  is  a  deficit  in  the  amount 
collected  for  want  of  prompt  collection,  or  otherwise,  direct 


ted  to  Cominon  Schools,  and  the  set  making  the  appropriation  continued 
in  force  till  the  School  Law  of  1852  was  enacted  These  moneys,  there- 
fore, properly  belong  to  the  Common  School  Fund,  and  should  be  ac- 
counted for  as  such. 

Sec.  3,  The  provision  of  this  section,  that  counties  shall  be  liable  for 
the  preservation  of  the  School  Funds  entrusted  to  them,  and  for  the  pay- 
ment of  the  annual  interest  thereon,  is  copied  almost  verbatim  from  the 
Constitution,  Art.  8,  Sec.  6. 

The  provision  requiring  the  payment  of  inteiest  to  be  full  and  complete 
every  year,  is  intended  to  enforce  ihis  requirement  of  the  Constitution. 
In  some  cases,  the  counties  fail  to  make  this  complete  annual  payment, 
owing,  no  doubt,  to  the  failure  of  the  Commissioners  to  notice  the  provis- 
ionS'Of  this  section,  authorizing  and  requiring  them  to  provide  Jor  any  defi- 
'Ciency.  Particular  attention  is  called  to  this  matter,  with  the  suggestion 
to  Commissioners  that  they  make  an  annual  appropriation  to  meet  any 
delinquency  in  payment  of  interest,  and  that  they  require  the  Auditort 
and  Treasurer  promptly,   as  provided  by  law,  to  collect  all  delinquen 


OF   INDIANA.  y 

the  attention  of  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  and  the 
County  Auditor  ts  the  fact,  and  said  Board  of  Commissioners 
are  hereby  authorized  and  required  to  provide  for  such  deficit 
in  their  respective  counties. 

Sec.  4.  Each  civil  township  and  each  incorporated  town  or  school  Corpora- 
city  in  the  several  counties  of  the  State  is  hereby  declared  a  tiong. 
distinct  municipal  corporation  for  school  purposes,  by  the 
name  and  style  of  the  civil  township,  town,  or  city  corpora- 
tion respectively,  and  by  such  name  may  contract  and  be  con- 
tracted with,  sue  and  be  sued,  in  any  court  having  competent 
jurisdiction,  and  the  Trustees  of  such  township,  and  the  Trus- 
tees provided  for  in  the  next  section  of  this  act,  shall,  for 
their  township,  town,  or  city,  be  School  Trustees,  and  per- 
form the  duties  of  Clerk  and  Treasurer  for  school  purposes. 

Sec.  5.  The  Common  Council  of  each  incorporated  city,  common  coud- 
and  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  each  incorporated  town  of  this  Tnfs^ees  sbaii" 
State  shall,  at  their  first  regular  meeting  in  the   month  of  TrSsfees?'*' 
April  of   the  present  year,  and  biennially  thereafter,  elect 
three  School  Trustees,  who  shall,  before  entering  upon  the 
duties  of  their  office,  take  and  subscribe  an  oath  and  give 
bond,  similar  to  the  oath  and  bond  required  of  Township  Trus- 
tees, and  such  Trustees  shall  be  allowed  such  reasonable  com-  compensatiou

pensation,  per  diem,  for  their  services,  as  to  the  authorities  of 
such  incorporated  cities  and  towns  may  be  deemed  just,  to  be 
paid  out  of  the  special  tax  raised  in  such  cities  or  towns. 

Sec.  6.  The  County  Auditor,  in  fixing  the  penalty  and  ap-  ^n^itor  to  re- 
proving and  acceptinsr  the  bonds  of  any  such  Trustees,  shall  quire  sufficient

see  to  their  suinciency  to  secure  the  school  revenues  which 


school  fund  and  interest  by  sale  of  the  mortgaged  premises.  By  this 
mean?,  Commissioners  will  be  able  to  meet  the  demands  of  the  law,  re. 
quiring  the  payment  of  interest  to  be  full  and  complete  every  year,  and 
to  save  their  counties  from  even  temporary  inconvenience. 

Sec.  4.  Cities  and  incorporated  towns  are,  for  school  purposes,  distinct 
corporations  /rom  the  Townships  in  which  they  are  situated.  The  Town- 
ship Trustee  has,  therefore,  no  authority  to  control  the  public  schools  of 
a  cit}-  or  town  situated  in  his  township.  The  failure  of  a  town  or  city  to 
organize  for  school  purposes,  as  provided  in  Sec.  5,  does  not  authorize  the 
Township  Trustee  to  assume  the  management  of  schools  in  such  city  or 
town. 

School  Trustees  of  cities  and  incorporated  towns  must  reside  in  their 
respective  towns  and  cities. 

School  Boards  of  such  cities  and  towns  maj-  elect  such  officers  and  adopt 
such  rules  for  their  own  government,  not  contrary  to  law,  as  they  may 
deem  expedient  for  facilitating  their  business.     (See  Appendix.) 

Sec.  6.  Concerning  terras  of  office  and  vacancies,  as  contemplated  in 
sections  5  and  6,  it  is  held.  First,  that  Trustees  hold  their  office  until  their 
successors  are  elected  and  qualified.  (See  Constitution,  Art.  15,  Sec.  3  ) 
Second,  that  in  case  no  election  tikes  place  at  the  time  designated,  no  va-

may  come  into  their  hands,  as  well  as  the  ordinary  township 
or  other  revenues;  and  in  case  of  a  vacancy  in  the  office  of 
Trustee,  the  Oonnty  Auditor  shall  appoint  a  person  to  fill  the 
same,  who  shall  tsko  an  oath  and  give  bond  as  required  in  the 
last  preceding  section  ;  and  said  Auditor  shall  report  to  the 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  the  name  and  post  of- 
fice address  of  each  Trustee. 
Trustees    shall      Sec.  7.  Thc  School  Trustccs  of  cvery  township,  incorpora-

c^onm^ss?one"rl^  annually,  and  as  much  oftener  as  they  may  require,  a  report 
at  their  March  thcrcof,  iu  Writing,  for  the  year  then  ending,  which  report 
shall  clearly  and  separately  state  : 

let.  The  amount  of  special  school  revenue,  and  of  school 
revenue  for  tuition,  on  hand  at  the  commencement  of  the 
year  then  ending. 

2d.  The  amount  of  each  kind  of  revenue  received  within 
the  year,  giving  the  amount  of  tuition  revenue  received  at 
each  semi-annual  apportionment  thereof. 

3d.  The  amount  of  each  kind  of  revenue  paid  out  and  ex- 
pended within  the  year. 

4th.  The  amount  of  each  kind  of  revenue  on  hand  at  th<} 
date  of  said  report,  to  be  carried  to  the  new  account,  and 
shall,  with  said  report,  present  and  file  a  detailed  account  cur- 
rent of  the  receipts  and  payments  for  the  year,  and  support 
the  same  by  proper  vouchers,  which  report  and  account  cur- 
rent shall  each  be  duly  verified  by  affidavit ;  and  when  the 
said  County  Commissioners  are  satisfied  that  said  report  is 
full,  accurate  and  right,  in  all  respects,  and  that  said  account 
is  just  and  true,  they  shall  allow  and  pass  the  same,  which 


cancy  occurs,  but  the  incumbent  or  incumbents  continue  in  office.  This 
latter  has  been  decide  by  the  Supreme  Court,  in  words  as  follows  :  "When 
the  term  of  an  office  is  prescribed  to  be  for  a  given  term,  and  uniil  the 
successor  shall  be  elected  and  qualified,  the  officer  holds  after  the  expira- 
tion of  the  term,  and  until  he  is  regularly  superseded  by  the  election  of 
another  in  his  plice."     (Stewart  and  another  v.  The  State,  4  Ind.,  396. 

Sec.  7.  Trustees  should  keep  separate  accounts  of  the  Special  School 
Eevenue  and  Common  School  Revenue  for  Tuition.  These  accounts 
should  be  kept  in  a  substantially  bound  book,  and  should  show  the  date 
and  amount  of  each  receipt  or  expenditure  of  such  revenues,  the  name  of 
the  person  of  whom  received,  or  to  whom  paid,  and,  in  case  of  a  pay- 
ment, the  purpose  for  which  it  was  made,  and  the  number  of  the  voucher

ceipts and  expenditures  of  school  revenue,  distinguishing  be- 
tween the  special  school  revenue  belonging  to  their  township, 
town  or  city,  and  the  school  revenue  for  tuition  which  belongs 
to  the  State,  and  by  it  apportioned  to  their  township,  town 
or  city,  which  said  revenue  for  tuition  they  shall  not  permit

Sec.  9.  The  Township  Trustees  and  the  School  Trustees 
of  incorporated  towns  and  cities  shall,  immediately  after  their

for  the  year  preceding  relative  to  th«ir  schools. 


taken  for  such  payment.  Were  accounts  thus  kept,  and  the  books  con- 
taining them  delivered  by  each  Trustee  to  his  sucessor  in  oflBce,  the  diffi- 
culty which  now  exists  of  ascertaining  the  exact  annual  expenditure  of 
school  revenues  could  not  exist 

School  Examiners  are  advised  to  inspect  the  accounts  of  Trustees,  (see 
Sec.  141,)  and  secure,  as  lar  as  practicable,  conformity  to  the  above  tug- 
jiestions. 

Sec.  8.  A  Township  Board  can  speak  only  by  its  record.  (Commis- 
sioners Fayette  County  v.  Chitwood,  8  Ind..  504.) 

If  this  decisioo.  is  applicable  under  the  present  system  of  one  Trustee  to 
each  town.^hip,  (and  it  is  presamed  to  be  applicable,  the  language  of  the 
present  law  boiijg  almost  identical  with  that  of  the  statute  under  which 
the  decision  was  made,)  then  it  is  not  only  proper,  but  neceseary,  that  the 
Trustee  should  record  every  official  act  he  performs;  otherwise  there 
would  be  a  lack  of  essential  evidence  of  such  act,  if  denial  of  its  perform- 
ance be  made.  For  convenience,  the  Trustee  should  record  his  proceed- 
ings relative  to  schools  in  a  separate  book  kept  for  that  purpose. 

Sec.  9.  Section  11  of  an  act  for  the  more  uniform  naethod  of  doing 
township  business  provides  that  within  ten  days  after  his  annual  report 
to  the  County  Commissioners,  in  March,  the  Trustee  shall  publish  the  same 
by  posting  up  a  certified  copy  thereof  at  the  pla  ^e  or  places  of  holding 


1-^  .  SCHOOL   LAW 

IlopMerT'  S^c-  1^-  The  Trustees  shall  take  charge  of  the  education- 
al affairs  of  their  respective  townships,  towns  and  cities,  em- 
elections.  Section  9  of  the  School  Law  requires  tfe&t  a  full  statement  of 
the  receipts  and  expenditures  relative  to  schools  shall  be  made,  by  which 
it  is  probably  intended  that  separate  report*  relative  to  receipts  and  ex- 
penditures of  school  revenues  shall  be  published  at  the  same  time,  and  in 
like  manner.  Publication  in  a  newspaper,  when  practicable,  would  be 
preferable. 

Sfic.  10.  The  provis-ioms  of  this  section  are  so  broad  that  it  seems  ne- 
cessary to  call  attention  to  several  points: 

1.  Rules  and  Regulations. — This  section  authorizes  Trustees  to 
■aake  and  enforce,  or  cause  to  be  enforced,  all  rules  and  regulations  lor 
the  management  of  the  schools,  not  transcending  the  provisions  of  the 
law.  Though  not  expressed,  this  power  clearly  belongs  to  the  Trustee, 
and  should  be  properly  exercised  in  every  school,  the  voice  of  individu- 
als or  school  meetings  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding.  Anything  less 
than  this  will  not  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law,  nor  secure  the  high- 
est efficiency  of  the  schools 

The  above  statements  are  not  to  be  so  construed  as  to  deny  the  rights 
of  the  teacher  to  make  rules.  The  teacher  may,  indeed  must,  make  some 
rules,  but  these  rules  must  be  in  harmony  with  the  rules  of  the  Trustee. 
Teachers  and  trustees  should  fully  understand  one  ajaother  in  this  impor- 
tant and  often  delicate  matter,  and,  so  far  as  practicable,  all  important 
rules  should  rreceive  a  joiat  approvui.  If,  however,  s.  Trustee  shall  de- 
•cline  or  neglect  to  prescribe  any  regulations,  then  ii  is  his  duty  to  assign 
that  work  to  the  teacher,  und  explicitly  inform  the  teacher  of  the  fact. 
There  should  be  no  loose  inferences  or  coojectuiea  at  this  point.  Each 
party  should  know  his  exact  duty,  and  aim  at  a  strict  discharge  of  the 
•same. 

2.  Text  Books. — This  section  makes  it  the  duty  of  Trustees  to  deter- 
mine the  Text  Books  to  be  used  in  their  schools.  Though  often  an  un- 
pleasant duty.  Trustees  should  not  shrink  from  this  work,  especially  if 
thereby  they  shall  promote  uniformity  and  prevent  frequency  of  chano^es 
To  this  end,  it  is  submitted  that  agents  should  not  be  permitted  to  exhibit 
to  teachers  or  pupils  during  school  hours  any  books,  maps,  charts,  or  oth- 
er articles  for  use  in  the  school-room.  AVhenever  a  change  in  text  books 
becomes  desirable,  it  would  be  well  to  submit  the  matter  to  the  united 
judgment  of  the  Examiner,  Trustee,  School  Director,  and  teacher,  that 
prudent  judgment  may  be  exercised. 

3.  Educational  Appliances. — This  is  a  somewhat  indefinite,  yet 
very  bread,  expression — so  broad,  in  my  opinion,  as  to  include  almost  ev- 
ery means  or  agency  necessary  for  the  efficiency  of  the  schools,  save 
means  directly  prohibited  by  law.  These  agencies  are  too  numerous  to 
be  named  here,  hence  all  are  omitted  save  one,  namely:  Superintendency 

-  of  schools  in  cities  and  towns,  Superintendency  in  our  larger  cities  and 
towns  is  indispensable  to  the  highest  success  of  the  schools,  consequently 
if  Trustees  can  not,  hs  a  body,  or  by  one  of  their  number,  perform  this 
work,  it  becomes  their  duty  to  secure  its  performance  through  another 
party.     This  work  may  not  require  all  the  time  of  the  individual  em-

ploy  teachers,  and  shall  establish  and  locate,  conveniently,  a  ^hMi8°ai?pro^ 
sufficient  number  of  schools  for  the  education  of  the  white  v^'ifge  ^°/urni^ 
children  therein,  and  build,  or  otherwise  provide,  suitable  ture,  apparj^ 
houses,  furniture,  apparatus,  and  other  articles  and  educa- 


ployed.  most  probably  will  not,  save  in  the-  larger  cities ;  yet  it  is  impera- 
tive that  it  be  done,  and  done  systematically  and,  if  pos&ible,  effectively. 

P»ymei.t  for  superintending  must  be  made  from  the  Special  School 
Eevenue.  3f  the  party  sha.1]  superintend  a  part  o^f  bis  time  and  teach  c 
part,  then  payment  should  be  made  in  the  ratio  of  time  spent,  from  the 
two  revenues — special  and  tuitionary. 

4.  Graded  Schools. — The  law  dearly  authoriaes  the  establishment  of 
Graded  Schools,  but  leaves  the  Trustee  to  determine  what  a  graded  school 
is,  when  it  is  needed  and  where  it  must  be  located,  also  many  other  details. 

Conceraing  these,  it  may  be  remarked:  1st,  Tlsat  a  graded  school  is  a. 
school  in  which  the  pupils  are  placed  in  different  rooms  and  under  differ- 
ent teachers,  according  to  advanceme&t.  Consequently,  the  greater  the 
number  of  rooms  and  teachers  for  any  given  school,  tbe  m5>re' favorable- 
the  means  for  perfect  grading.  From  this  it  v/ill  be  seen  that  a  graded 
school,  as  contemplated!  in  the  above  section,  cann>ot  exist  with  less  than, 
two  teachers.  With  one,  the  school  may  be  classified,  but  not  graded. 
Trustees  will,  therefore,  have  regard  to  this  element  when  they  put  up- 
buildings  designed  for  graded  schools.  2d.  As  to  the  time  when  a  graded- 
school  should  be  established  for  any  given  township,  no  definite  directions- 
can  be  given.  There  are  too  many  local  elements  to  admit  of  any  special 
directions.  It  is,  iiowever,  safe  to  say  that  wber/cver  the^e  are  pupils  in- 
the  township  whose  advancement  is  such  that  the  district  schools  cannot 
furnish  them  instruction,  at  that  moment  begins  the  need  of  a  township- 
graded  school,  furnishing  instruction  of  a  higher  grade.  The  Trustee- 
must,  however,  be  satisfied  that  the  number  of  such  pupils  is  sufficient  to 
justify  the  establishment  of  such  a  school  before  providing  the  same.  3d. 
As  to  place,  I  would  suggest  that  whenever  practicable,  the  township  gra- 
ded school  should  be  established  in  connection  with  a  distriiet  school,  thus 
economizing  in  building,  perhaps  in  teaching  ;  als©  furnishing  the  means- 
of  a  more  thorough  grading  in  at  least  one  primary  school  in  the  town- 
ship. It  is  suggested,  farther,  that  a  village,  if  centrally  located,  is  usually 
a  favorable  place  for  the  township  school.  Especially  will  this  be  the 
case  if  we  siiall  be  able  to  incorporatje  in  the  law  the  provision  :  That  in/ 
case  any  village  in  which  is  located  a  Township  Graded  School  shall  in- 
corporate, such  school  shall  be  managed  and  used  by  township  and  town 
jointly,  aad  the  title  to  the  property  'rest  accordingly.  With  a  law  of  this 
kind,  the  right  of  the  township  would  never  be  jeopvarded  by  locating  the 
township  school  in  a  village. 

To  avoid  undue  length,  other  details  concerning  these  schools  are  omit- 
ted and  respectfully  referred  to  the  local  authorities. 

5.  Care  of  School  Propbrtt. — This  section  very  explicitly  commits 
the  care  and  management  of  all  school  property  toSchool  and  Township- 
Trustees.  I  respectfully  suggest  the  following,  amoug  other  me*ns^  tend- 
ing tj>  the  presemaition  of  this-propesty :     1st.  In  eciployiBg  teachers,  the-

tional  appliances  necessary  for  the  thorough  organization  and 
efficient  management  of  said  schools.  Th-ey  may  also  estab- 
^ad^^Hchooh.  ^^^^  graded  schools,  or  such  modifications  ef  them  as  may  be 
practicable^  and  provide  for  admission  into  the  higher  depart- 
ments of  the  graded  school,  from  the  primary  schools  of  their 
townships,  such  pupils  as  are  sufficiently  advanced  for  such 
admission.  They  shall  have  the  care  and  management  of  all 
property,  real  and  personal,  belonging  to  their  respective  cor- 


Truetee  should  bind  them  by  contract  to  a  strict  care  of  all  school  prop- 
erty under  their  charge.  (Teachers  can  do  much  in  this  matter  by  direct 
euporvision,  and  perhaps  more  by  the  inculcation  of  proper  sentiments 
in  the  minds  of  their  pupils.)  2d.  Section  30  of  the  law  provides  that 
the  Director  shall,  under  the  general  order  and  concurrence  of  the  Trus- 
tee, take  charge  of  the  school-house  and  the  property  belonging  thereto* 
This  may  be  made  an  efficient  means  in  the  preservation  of  this  property* 
To  this  end,  however,  the  Trustee  and  Director  shoul-d  distinctly  under- 
stand each  other,  ea-ch  knowing  definitely  the  portion  of  this  work  which 
falls  to  him.  This  can  only  be  done  by  conference,  hence  it  is  suggested 
that  Trustees  occasionally  call  the  Directors  together  for  consultation  on 
this  and  other  school  matteris.  This  don«,  each  officer  will  underetand 
the  exact  duties  assigned  him,  and,  it  is  hoped,  will  hold  himself  responsi- 
ble for  the  prompt  and  full  discharge  of  the  same^  especiall^^  so  in  refer- 
•ence  to  the  care  and  preservation  of  school  property.  3d.  As  a  third 
means,  I  would  call  attention  to  a  provision  of  the  general  statute  rela- 
tive to  protection  against  trespass.     This  provision  reads  as  follows: 

"Sec.  13.  Every  person  who  shall  maliciously  or  mischievously  injure, 
•or  cause  to  be  injured,  any  property  of  another,  or  any  public  property, 
.shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a  malicious  trofpa^^s,  and  be  fined  not  exceeding 
iwo-fold  the  value  of  the  damage  done,  to  which  may  be  added  imprison- 
ment not  exceeding  twelve  months. 

"  Sec.  14  Every  person  who  shall  injure  any  tree  or  sapling  on  the  land 
•of  any  other  person,  or  on  any  land  belonging  to  the  State,  or  to  any  coun- 
\y  or  township  therein,  or  on  any  land  reserved  or  granted  for  the  use  of 
'Schools  or  semitiaries,  without  a  license  so  to  do  from  competent  authority, 
or  who,  without  such  license,  shall  cut  down  or  remove  from  any  such 
Jands,  or  from  lands  belonging  to  the  United  States,  any  tree,  stone,  tim- 
iber,  or  other  valuable  article,  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a  trespass,  and 
■upon  conviction,  shall  be  fined  five  times  the  ralue  of  such  property,  to 
which  may  be  added  imprisonment,  not  exceeding  twelve  months,  iu  the 
county  jail,  in  the  discretion  of  the  court  or  jury  trying  the  same;  and 
any  person  concerned  in  such  trespass  may  be  compelled  to  testify  against 
;any  other  person  therein  concerned."     (2  Gavin  &  Herd,  p.  462.) 

6.  CoNGKESSiOJ^AL  Lakds. — Congressional  Township  School  Lands  are 
ender  the  care  and  management  of  the  School  Trustee  of  the  civil  town- 
ship to  which  they  belong.  When  a  congressional  township  is  divided  bj 
a  civil  township  line,  the  lands  are  under  the  care  of  the  Trustee  of  the 
<;ivil  township  in  which  they  are  situated.  When  the  lands  themselves 
are  divided  by  a  county  or  civil  townehip  line,  or  when  other  lands  have 
'been  substituted  for  the  sixteenth  section,  the  voters  of  the  congressional 
<own6hip  shall  designate  the  Trustee  whom  they  wish  to  have  charge  of 
the  lands,  said  Trustee  being  the  Trustee  of  one  of  the  civil  townships  ia

taxes  of  said  tax-payer,  levied  for  such  purposes,  would,  if 
not  thus  paid,  amount  to  the  sum  or  value  of  the  materials  so

7.  SuPREMK  CouBT  Decisioms. — It  is  for  the  Trustees  to  determine 
when  school-houses  are  nece-ssary  and  convenient.  (Custer  v.  Browns- 
ville Township,  10  Ind.,  461.) 

The  action  of  th«  Trustee  in  such  cases  is  subject  to  appeal  to  th«  School 
Ei«miner,  whose  decision  is  final. 

It  would  appear  from  the  decision  of  an  analagous  qiw^stion,  in  the  caee 
of  The  State  r.  Custer,  11  Ind.,  210,  that  if  a  Trustee  refuse  to  comply 
with  the  decisions  of  the  School  Examiner  in  case  of  an  appeal  when  the 
decision  of  that  officer  is  final,  a  mandamus  is  the  proper  mewjs  to  com- 
pel compliance 

Sec.  12.  The  power  to  levy  a  special  school  tax  must  be  exercised 
strictly  within  the  statutory  limits.  (Ro8e  v.  Bath  Township,  10  Ind.,  18.) 

The  power  of  Trustees  to  levy  a  8p«cial  school  tax  is  not  now,  as  it  was 
formerly,  subject  to  the  control  of  County  Commissioners. 

Trustees  are  authorized,  but  not  required,  to  receive  don*tions  of  money 
or  material  for  building  or  furnishing  school-houses,  or  of  fuel  for  the  use 
of  schools.     Such  a  donation  being  received,  the  Trustee  cannot  refuse  to

of  said  Trustee.

tarievied^by  the  propcr  assessments  of  special  school  tax  levied  by  the 
Trustee.         Trustec,  in  the  same  manner  as  for  State  and  county  revenue, 
and  shall  set  down  the  amount  of  said  tax  on  his  tax  list  and 
duplicate  thereof,  as  other  taxes  are  set  down,  in  appropriate 
columns,  and  he  shall  extend  said  assessment  to  the  taxable 
property  of  the  person  transferred,  which  is  situated  in  the 
township,  town  or  city  to  which  tae  transfer  is  made,  and  to 
the  property  and  poll  of  the  person  transferred,  situate  in 
the  township,  town  or  city  in  which  the  person  taxed  resides, 
according  to  the  rate  and  levy  thereof,  in  the  township,  town 
or  city  to  which  the  transfer  is  made,  and  for  its  use ;  and 
Taxtobecouec-  Said  tax  shall  be  collected  by  the  County  Treasurer  as  other 
ou'tb^countj  taxes  are  collected,  and  shall  be  paid,  when  collected,  to  the 
Treasurer.      Trcasurcr  for  school  purposes  of  the  proper  township,  town, 
or  city,  upon  the  warrant  of  the  County  Auditor ;  and  to  en- 
able County  Auditors  correctly  to  assess  said  tax,  the  School 
Examiners  of  the  several  counties  shall,  at  the  time  they 
make  out  and  report  to  the  Auditor  the  basis  of  the  appor- 
tionment of  School  Revenue  for  Tuition,  as  required  by  sec- 
Schooi  Examin-  tiou  42  of  this  Act,  make  out  and  report  to  said  Auditors  a

receipt  therefor,  as  provided  in  this  section,  unless  by  express  waiver  of 
a  receipt. 

Sec.  13.  When  persons  are  transferred  for  school  purposes,  their  prop- 
erty situate  in  the  township  in  which  they  reside  is  subject  to  a  special 
school  tax  in  the  township  to  which  they  are  transferred,  and  exempt  frona 
such  tax  in  the  township  in  which  it  is  situate. 

The  additional  labor  required  of  the  Auditor  by  a  transfer  is  simply  to 
enter  the  name  of  the  party  transferred  and  the  value  of  his  property 
situate  in  the  township  in  which  he  resides  upon  the  tax  duplicate  of  the 
township  to  which  the  transfer  is  made,  and  assess  upon  such  property 
the  proper  special  school  tax.  All  other  property  of  the  party  transfer- 
red is  subject  to  special  school  tax  in  the  township  where  it  is  situate. 

Examiners,  in  making  the  statement  of  transfers  required  by  this  sec- 
tion, should  state  distinctly  the  names  of  the  parties  transferred,  the  town- 
ship in  which  each  resides,  and  the  township  to  which  transferred.  Noth- 
^  ing  short  of  this  will  enable  the  Auditor  properly  to  assess  the  special 

school  tax  required. 

Sec  14.  The  provision  of  this  section  which  limits  the  enumeration  to 
white  children  is  repealed.    (See  Act  March,  1869,  Appendix.)    It  is  now

persons;  and  in  making  said  enumeration,  the  Trustee  sliall 
list  the  names  of  parents,  guardians  or  heads  of  families, 
male  or  female,  having  charge  of  such  children;  and  opp(jsite 
each  name,  in  appropriate  columns,  he  shall  enter  the  wliole 
number  of  such  children  in  charge  of  the  person  so  nanied, 
specifying  particularly  the  number  of  males,  the  number  of 
females,  the  number  of  the  school  to  w^hich  such  person  is 
attached  for  school  purposes,  and  the  number  and  ihirials 
which  designate  the  Congressional  township  in  which  ^^uch 
person  resides,  including  in  said  list  and  enumeration  the 
names  of  such  persons  as  have  been  transferred  to  his  town- 
ship, town,  or  city,  from  other  townships,  towns,  or  cities, 
and  the  enumeration  of  their  children,  and  excluding  there- 
from the  names  and  number  of  children  of  such  persons  as  ^ 
have  been  transferred  from  nis  township,  town,  or  city,  to 
other  townships,  towns,  or  cities,  and  each  Township  Trustee, 
upon  making  the  first  enumeration  after  the  taking  effect  of 
this  Act,  shall  inquire  of  each  person  whose  name  he  so  lists, 
to  which  school  he  or  she  desires  to  be  attached,  and  such 
persons,  upon  making  their  selection,  shall  be  considered  as 


expressly  provided  that  colored  children  shall  be  enumerated;  but  their 
enumeration  must  be  kept  distinct  from  that  of  the  whites. 

While  this  section  does  nctt,  in  so  many  words,  declare  that  school 
privileges  are  limited  to  persons  between  the  ages  of  six  and  twenty- 
one  years,  it  declares  such  by  implication.  It  is  therefore  held  that  the 
legal  school  age  is  between  six  and  twenty-one  years,  save  the  exception 
made  in  section  15. 

It  is  recommended  that  Trustees  prohibit  the  admission  of  pupils  until 
they  are  six  years  of  age.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is  held  that  Trustees 
raay  safely  exercise  some  discretion  as  to  the  exclusii>n  of  persons  over 
twenty-one  years  of  age.  Especially  may  this  discretion  be  exercised 
when  the  school  is  not  crowded  and  the  party  desiring  admission  is  well 
disposed. 

While  this  sectiod  declares  that  the  privileges  ef  the  school  sha  1  be 
limited  to  such  persons  as  were  attached  to  the  sc}\ool  at  the  time  of  enu- 
meration, it  must  not  be  so  construed  as  to  exclude  pe'-sons  who  move 
into  a  district  after  the  enumeration.  Such  a  construction  would,  in  many 
cases,  work  serious  detriment. 

The  children  who  reside,  or  are  domiciled  in  the  township  in  which  the 
enumeration  is  made,  are  alone  entitled  to  the  benefit  of  the  common 
schools  therein  established.  Wheeler  and  others  v.  Burrows,  18  Ind.  15. 
As  a  general  rule,  the  domicil  of  a  minor  not  emancipated  is  that  of  his 
parents.  Ibid.  lu  this  case,  the  infant  whose  right  came  in  question  had 
her  domicil  without  the  State,  but  the  doctrine  of  the  case  seems  bro?id 
enough  to  have  excluded  her  from  the  schools  had  her  domicil  been  in 
another  township  of  this  State  than  that  in  which  she  claimed  the  right 
to  attend  school.

shall  be  allowed  thereafter  to  attach  thennseives  to,  or  have 
the  privilege  of  any  other  school  but  by  the  consent  of  the 
Trustee,  for  good  cause  shown;  and  at  subsequent  enumera- 
tions the  same  inquiry  shall  be  made  b}'  the  Trustee  of  the 
parent,  guardian,  or  head  of  family  having  charge  of  chil- 
dren between  the  ages  aforesaid,  whose  residence  has  been 
changed,  or  whose  children  have  became  subject  to  be  enu- 
merated for  the  first  time  since  the  last  enumeration;  and  in 
case  a  change  in  the  location  of  a  school  in  the  township  has 
been  made  since  the  last  enumeration,  the  Trustee  shall  make 
the  same  inquiry  of  the  persons  whose  school  privileges  are 
affected  by  such  change.  But  said  inquiries  need  not  be 
made  by  the  Trustees  of  incorporated  towns  and  cities  when 
they  take  their  enumerations.  The  persons  listed  in  each  of 
such  towns  and  cities,  shall  be  considered  as  forming  but  sin- 
gle school  districts  therein,  distinct  from  the  townships  in 
which  they  are  situated. 

Sec.  15.  Any  person  w^ho  is  a  voter  at  township  elections, 
and  has  no  children  in  charge,  between  ihe  ages  of  six  and 
twenty-one  years,  by  making  application  to  the  Trustee  of 
his  township,  while  the  enumeration  is  being  made,  and  by 
indicating  to  said  Trustee  his  selection  of  the  school  to 
which  he  desires  to  be  attached,  may  have  bis  name  listed  by 
said  Trustee,  on  the  enum.eration  list,  and  be  attached  to  the 
school  selected,  and  thus  become  entitled  to  the  privileges  of 
said  school,  and  be  a  voter  at  its  school  meetings.  Such 
persons,  together  with  the  parents,  guardians,  and  heads  of 
families  mentioned  in  sect'on  14,  and  the  persons  transferred 
from  other  townships  and  attached  to  said  school  as  provided 
in  sections  fourteen  and  sixteen  of  this  act,  shall  be  the  only 
persons  entitled  to  vote  at  the  meetings  of  the  school  so 
selected,  and  all  other  persons  shall  be  excluded  from  voting 
at  such  meetings. 

Sec.  16.  When  persons  can  be  better  accommodated  at  the 
school  of  an  adjoining  township,  or  of  any  incorporated 
town  or  city,  the  Trustee  of  the  town  or  city  in  which  such

distinguishing  between  male  and  female;  also,  designating  by  number 
and  range  the  Congressional  township  in  which  such  party  resides. 

The  law  authorizes  transfers  only  at  the  time  of  the  enumeration. 

Notice  of  tran-fers  should  be  given  before  the  first  day  of  September, 
in  order  that  the  Trustee  may  be  able  to  include  the  names  of  parties 
transferred  in  his  list  and  enumeration,  as  required  by  section  14. 

For  the  convenience  of  the  Examiner,  each  Trustee  should,  at  the  time 
of  making  his  report  of  enumeration,  make  a  separate  report  of  all  trans-

number  of  pupils  engaged  in  the  study  of  each  branch;  and, 
until  such  report  shall  have  been  so  filed,  such  Trustees  shall

Sec.  25.  Notice  of  the  annual  .school  meeting  should  be  given  as  }ire-

Voters  at  school  meetings,  as  defined  in  the  sections  liere  named,  are  all 
persons,  male  or  female,  attached  to  the  school,  and  having  in  charge 
children  subject  to  enumeration  for  schotd  purposes;  also,  legal  vo'ers 
who  have  no  children  hetween  the  apes  of  six  and  twenty-. me  years,  hut 
who  have  attacheii  themselves  to  tJie  sciioulri  urxJiir  the  provisiot/S  ot  sec-

It  is  thus  clear  that  women  who  have  charge  of  children  hetween  the- 
ages  of  six  and  twenty-one  years,  are  voters  at  school  meetings,  and  that 
legal  voters  who  have  no  such  children  in  charge,  and  who  have  not 
availed  themselves  of  the  provisions  of  sectiea  15,  are  not  voters  at  school 
meetings. 

The  latter  part  of  section  15  is  clear  upon  this  point. 

The  School  Director  votes  as  any  other  member  of  the  school  meeting,

Sko.  26.  SciiOOT.  Mektings. — Five  days'  notice,  as  here  required, 
should  n^ver,  when  pr;icticabie,  be  omitted.  A  meeting  may  be  legal 
witliout  ?uc!i  notice. 

The  meetings  provided  for  in  this  and  the  precedino;  sections,  are  in- 
tended for  scho.l  districts  in  townships  as  contradistinguished  from  cities 
and  towns.  While  fins  is  not  declared  in  so  many  words,  it  is  fairly  in- 
ferable, and  inferable  from  the  references  to  Township  Trustees  in  sec- 
tions 2G,  29  and  32.  On  the  other  hand,  these  sections  do  not  deny  the 
right  of  such  meetings  in  cities  and  towns.  Yet  it  is  bi-lieved  that,  in 
general,  they  should  not  i>o  held  for  the  purptises  set  forth  in  these  sec- 
tions. Conceruiog  the  first  of  these  purposes,  namely,  the  election  of  a 
Director,  there  is  no  need  <jf  such  an  election  because  no  need  of  such  an 
officer  In  small  towns  the  Trustees  are  competent  to  all  the  work 
assigned  h  Director;  in  larger  towns  and  cities  a  School  Superintendent, 
el^-cted  by  the  I'rustees,  is  the  proper  person  to  do  this  work  and  such 
other  as  the  Trustees  may  assign  him.  Further,  there  is  no  valid  reason 
(unless  in  extraordinary  cases)  for  holding  a  town  meeting  to  de- 
signate teachers,  and  siill  less  reason  for  such  meeting  to  determine 
braTiches  t'.)  be  taughi  and  itme  of  school.  It  is  therefere  believed  that  the 
law  is  wise  i-i  making  no  provision  for  such  meetinf:s  for  cities  and  towns, 
and  it  is  hoped  that  citizens  vvil!  fulh'  acquiesce  in  this  feature  of  the 
law,  and  thus  leave  the  work  indicated  above  to  the  proper  officers, 
namely,  to  the  school  Trustees. 

Revenues  — The  provisions  requiring  the  revenue  for  tuition  to  be  ex- 
pended within  the  year  for  which  it  is  apportioned,  and  that  the  year 
shall  begin  on.  the  first  Menday  in  April,  are  when  taken  together,  ex- 
ceedingly unfortunate.  First.  There  is  no  special  reason  why  the  school 
3'ear  should  begin  on  the  first  Monday  in  April,  but,  on  the  contrary, 
there  are  special  reasons  against  it.  Second.  If  both  these  provisions 
and  the  provision  of  section  8  be  carried  out  strictly,  the  possibility  of  a 
summer  school  does  not  exist.  It  is  believed  that  the  provision  with 
reference  to  the  expenditure  of  revenue,  should  be  so  modified  as  to 
require  its  expenditure  within  fourteen  or  sixteen  months  after  its  appor- 
tionment by  the  County  Auditors  to  the  school  corporations. 

As  the  law,  hoW(iver,  must  be  admitiiste red  as  it  is,  the  unfortunate 
stringency  above  mentioned  can  be  overcome,  in  part,  by  contracting,  on 
or  before  the  first  Monday  in  April,  with  the  teacher  or  teachers,  for  the 
spring  and  summer  schools.  This  will  be  held  as  a  compliance  with 
sections  8  and  26.  This  is  the  only  remedy  possible  under  the  above 
provisions. 

Schools  in  Townships.— It  is  the  duty  of  the  Trustee  to  employ  the 
teacher  designated  by  the  school  meeting,  provided  he  can  do  so  on  rea- 
sonable terms,  but  not  otherwise.

making  such  repairs,  removing  or  erecting  school  [houses],

cost  of  such  repair,  removal  or  erection 


The  action  of  a  school  meetiug,  with  reference  to  the  erection,  repair, 
or  removal  of  a  school  house,  &c.,  has  only  the  force  of  a  request,  there- 
fore never  binds  the  Trustee  to  any  course  of  action. 

Under  the  provisions  of  the  common  school  law  of  March  11,  1861? 
(almost  identical  with  the  provisions  of  the  present  school  law,)  the 
inhabitants,  or  any  portion  of  them,  may  petition  the  Trustee  for  the  lo- 
cation of  an  additional  school  district,  or  the  erection  of  a  school  house* 
and  if  the  prayer  of  their  petition  is  refused  by  him,  they  naay  appeal  to 
the  School  Examiner;  and  if  he  reverse  the  decision  of  the  Trustee,  it 
will  be  the  duty  of  the  latter  to  grant  the  prayer  of  said  petition,  and  if 
he  still  refuse,  he  may  be  compelled  to  do  so  by  mandate.  Trager,  Trus- 
tee, V.  State  ex  rel.  Goudie,  21  Ind.  R.,  317. 

The  inhabitants  of  a  school  township,  at  their  regular  school  meeting, 
have  a  right  "to  memorialize  in  reference  to  the  removal  or  erection  of 
school  houses,  and  upon  any  other  subject  connected  with  their  school 
township."  But  that  light  is  not  by  the  statute  made  exclusive,  and 
hence  the  Trustee  may,  in  our  opinion,  legally  act  upon  a  petition  pre- 
sented to  him  by  persons  who  are  inhabitants  of  the  school  township, 
though  it  did  not  originate  at  such  regular  meetings.     Ibid. 

School  meetings  are  not  authorized  to  employ  teachers,  or  determine- 
the  wages  at  which  they  shall  be  employed. 


OF   INDIANA.  25 

Sec.  28.  Trustees  shall  employ  no  person  to  teach  in  any  Tmstees  shaii 
of  the  Common  Schools  of  the  State,  unless  such  person  shall  To^ns^'^^tcYch"^'^ 
have  a  license  to  teach,  issued  from  ihe  proper  State  or  county  hiie^'ncVn^sef 
authority,  and  in  full  force  at  the  date  of  employment ;  and 
any  teacher  who  shall  commence  teaching  any  such  school 
"without  a  license  shall  forfeit  all  claim  to  compensation  out 
of  the   school   revenue    for   tuition,  for  the  time  he   or  she 
teaches  without  such  license;  and  if  a  teachers'  license  shall 
expire  by  its  own  limitation  within  a  term  of  employment, 
such  expiration  shall  not  have  the  effect  to  stop  the  school,  or 
stop  the  teacher's  pay  ;  and  the  baid  Trustee  shall  not  employ 
any  teacher  whom  a  majority  of  those  entitled   to  vote  at 
school  meetings,  have  decided,  at  any  reguUr  school  meeting, 
they  do  not  wish  employed;  and  at  any  time  after  the  com-  Trustee shaii

tion  such  Trustee  that  they  wish  the  teacher  thereof  dismissed,  majori 
such  Trustee  shall  dismiss  such  teacher,  but  only  upon  due 


Sec.  28.  The  statute  expressly  prohibits  the  employment  of  a  teacher 
having  no  certificate  of  qualification.  The  officer  having  authority  to 
employ  the  teacher  cannot  nullify  this  law.  It  was  intended,  by  the  re- 
quirement of  a  certificate  of  qualifications  to  guard  against  the  squander- 
ing of  a  sacred  public  fund  upon  persons  assuming  to  teach  without 
being  capable  of  performing  a  teacher's  duties,  and  to  insure  the  employ- 
ment of  competent  persons  only  as  teachers,  thereby  making  the  schools 
useful  as  instruments  for  the  education  of  the  young.  That  an  ofiicer 
can,  either  expressly  or  by  implication,  set  at  defiance  an  express  statute 
defining  and  limiting  his  official  authority,  and  by  doing  what  he  is  for- 
bidden to  do,  waive  what  the  law  palpably  requires,  is  a  proposition  which 
is  best  answered  by  stating  it. 

One  who  renders  service  as  a  teacher  in  ihe  public  schools  without  hav- 
ing procured  the  certificate  of  qualifications  required  by  law,  cannot  re- 
cover for  such  service.  Harrison  Township,  Cass  Co.  v.  Conrad  et  al.,  26 
Ind.  R.,  337. 

It  is  sufficient  if  the  teacher's  license  is  in  force  at  the  date  of  employ- 
ment. 

Dismissal  of  Teacher. — The  Trustee  should  investigate  the  truth  or 
falsity  of  the  matter  alleged  for  the  dismissal  of  a  teacher.  For  this 
purpose  he  should  cause  the  parties — petitioners  and  teacher — on  an  ap- 
pointed day  to  appear  before  him,  when  he  should  hear  the  testimony  pro 
and  con. 

Notice  in  writing  of  the  pendency  of  a  petition  for  his  dismissal,  should 
be  served  on  the  teacher  at  least  three  days  previous  to  the  time  set  for 
the  hearing.  It  should  show  the  day  when  the  petition  will  be  heard,  and 
the  nature  of  the  cause  or  causes  alleged  for  dismissal,  and  should  notify 
the  teacher  to  be  present  and  answer  the  allegations  of  the  petition. 

Any  of  the  causes  for  the  revocation  of  a  license  enumerated  in  section 
36,  is  likewise  good  cause  for  the  dismissal  of  a  teacher.  Peculiar  cir- 
cumstances may  sometimes  render  dismissal  proper  for  other  causes.

Sec.  36.  A  teacher's  license  should  not  be  revoked  for  any  cause  not 
fairly  included  in  the  causes  named  in  this  section;  and  in  all  cases  before 
revoking  a  license,  the  teacher  should  be  notified  and  given  an  opportu- 
nity to  make  a  defense. 

In  proceedings  to  revoke  a  license,  the  Examiner  may  act  upon  his 
personal  knowledge  or  competent  evidence  obtained  from  others. 

The  revocation  of  a  teacher's  license  terminates  his  connection  with  the 
school  in  which  he  may  have  been  employed,  but  does  not  necessarily 
terminate  the  school,  unless  he  is  the  only  teacher  employed  in  it.  It 
would  be  absurd  to  suppose  that  the  law  intended  that  a  school  in  which 
a  dozen  teachers  were  employed,  should  be  discontinued,  because  the 
license  of  one  of  such  teachers  was  revoked. 

A  School  Examiner  having  revoked  a  teacher's  license,  must  enter  his 
action  in  such  case  of  record  in  the  books  of  his  office,  and  notify  each 
School  Trustee  in  his  county  of  such  revocation. 

Notice  to  Trustees  is  especially  important,  as  without  it  they  would  not 
be  sufficiently  warned  against  employing  the  teacher  whose  license  is 
revoked,  as  the  certificate  of  license  would  still  remain  his  possession. 

Sec.  37.     The  day  of  the  examination  should    be  the  same  in   each

shall  he  grant  a  license  upon  a  private  examination,  and   all 

licenses  granted  by  him  shall  be   limited  to  the  county  in 

which  they  are  granted.     For  each  person  examined  he  shall  Examinor-s  foe. 

be  entitled  to  a   fee  of  one  dollar,  which  fee  shall  constitute 

the  only  compensation  he  shall  receive  for  services  rendered 

in  examining  teachers. 

Sec.  38.    The  Examiner  shall  provide  a  blank  book  at  the  Examiner  f.iiaii 
expense  of  the  county,  in  which  he  shall  keep  minutes  of  his  booS^ '''''"" 
proceedings,   and    shall   deliver    said   record,   and    all    other 
books,  papers  and  property  appertaining  to  his  office,  to  his 
successor,  and  take  a  receipt  therefor.     Said  Examiner,  shall  Examiners  to 
in  the  last  week  of  May,  annually,  report  to  the  Superintend-  [uuMldont^T^"^" 
ent  of  Public  Instruction,  the  name  of  the  persons  to  whom  [fy^hem''^^"^*^'' 
he  has  granted  license  since  the  last  report,  for  his  county, 
distinguishing  between  those  licensed  for  six,  twelve,  eighteen, 
and  twent\-four  months,  giving  the  number  of  males  and  the 
number  of  females,  and  total  number  licensed,  and  the  num- 
ber, but  not  the  names,  of  applicants  for  license  who  have 
been  rejected,  and  the  number  of  licenses  revoked. 

Sec.   39.    Said   Examiner    shall    constitute    a   medium    of  Examin.iTshaii

communication  between  the  Superintendent  of  rublic  Instruc- 
tion and  the  subordinate  school  officers  and  the  schools  ;  they 
shall  visit  the  schools  of  their  respective  counties  as  often  as 
they  may  deem  it  necessary,  during  each  term,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  increasing  their  usefulness,  and  elevating  as  far  as 
practicable,  the  poorer  schools  to  the  standard  of  the  best ; 
advising,  and  securing,  as  far  as  practicable,  uniformity  in 
their  organization  and  management,  and  their  conformity  to 
the  law  and  the  regulations  and  instructions  of  the  State 
Board  of  Education  and  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion, and  shall  encourage  Teachers'  Institutes  and  Associa- 
tions. They  shall  receive  from  the  Trustees  their  reports  of  shaii  receive  re- 
enumeration,  and  their  regular  school  and  other  reports,  L^Js^.'*  '^ 
which  are  required  by  law  to  be  made  by  them,  and  otherwise 
gather  up  the  necessary  data  and  information,  including  that 


month.     If  such  a  day  is  fixed   and  adhered  to,  convenience  will  be  se- 
cured to  teachers  and  to  the  public. 

As  the  object  of  the  law  will  not  be  defeated  but  ratlier  promoted 
thereby,  it  is  held  that  the  Examiner  may  hold  more  than  one  examina- 
tion in  each  month. 

An  examination  will  be  public  in  the  sense  here  required,  when  such 
examination  is  publicly  announced  and  is  held  in  a  public  hall  or  office. 

Skc.  39.  The  Examiner,  in   receiving  reports   from  Trustees,  should 
I  see  that  such  reports  are  consistent  and,  as  far  as  possible,  accurate.     No 
;  report  should  be  received  known  to  be  faulty  in  either  of  these  points. 
I  To  require  correct  reports  is  not  only  the  right,  but  the  duty  of  the  Ex- 
aminer.

said  balance,  and  retention  by  County  Treasurer  of  Lis  dis- 
tributive share  of  school  revenue,  according  to  said  appor- 
tionment, shall  be  concurrent  acts,  and  shall  be  done  and  per- 
formed in  such  a  manner  as  to  effect  a  complete  serai  annual 
disbursement  from  the  State  Treasury  to  the  several  counties 
of  the  State,  of  all  the  school  revenues  then  apportioned  to 
them,  and  as  soon  i\s  practicable  after  the  apportionment  is 
made. 

Sec.  117.  If  at  any  time,  from  any  cause  whatever,  an  un-  I'napportioned 
apportioned  balance  of  school  revenue  shall  appear  in  the 
State  Treasury,  other  than  that  which  is  nominally  therein  at 
[the]  passage  of  this  act,  the  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction shall  add  said  balance  to  the  sum  to  be  apportioned, 
and  apportion  it  at  the  next  succeeding  apportionment,  after 
such  balance  so  appears.

said  apportionment  and  distribution  thereof,  the  Auditor  shall 

ascertain  the  amount  of  the  Congressional  township  school 

revenue  belonging  to  each  city,  town  and  township,  and  shall 

so  apportion  the  other  school  revenue  to  each  city,  town  and 

township,  as  near  as  may  be,  according  to  the  enumeration  of 

children  therein  :     Provided,  however.  That  in  no  case  shall  Proviso.

Sec.  118.  It  has  been  suggested  that  tbe  omission  in  this  amended  sec- 
tion of  the  words  "as  to  equalize  the  amount  of  available  school  revenue 
for  tuition,"  it  was  intended  to  provide  for  an  equal  per  capita  distribu- 
tion of  the  common  school  revenue  to  the  several  townships,  towns  and 
cities  of  a  county,  without  any  regard  whatever  to  the  Congressional 
township  revenue.  But  see  Quick  and  another  vs.  White  Water  Town- 
ship, 7  Ini.  R.,  p.  570,  also  Quick  and  others  vs.  Springfield  Township, 
/(/.  636,  in  which  it  is  held  that  the  ConHtitutio7i  commands  "an  unequal 
distribution  of  the  ech  jol  fund  other  than  the  Congressional  portions  of 
it." 

It  must  also  be  remembered  that  the  amendment  was  not  maie  to 
change  the  method  of  making  the  apportionment,  but  simply  to  change 
the  tiyne,  that  the  law  upon  this  subject  might  conform  to  the  other  finan- 
cial laws  of  the  State. 

Besides  it  is  scarcely  conceivable  that  the  proviso  which  clearly  as- 
sumes that  the  apportionment  is  to  be  so  made  as  to  equalize  the  avail- 
able revenue  in  the  several  townships,  would  have  been  retained  had  the 
Legislature  intended  to  change  the  method  of  apportionment  as  sug- 
gested.

business  of  said  office,  shall  be  kept,  and  there  he  shall  give 
reasonable  attendance  to  the  business  and  duties  of  the  office. 
He  shall  render  an  opinion,  in  writing,  to  an\  school  officer

ing one  thousand  dollars,  for  the  first,  and  eight  hundred  dol-

the  Auditor  of  State  are  paid,  and  the  said  sums  are  hereby 
annually  appropriated  for  that  purpose. 

Sec.  122.  In  the  month  of  January,  in  each  year,  in  which 
there  is  no  regular  session  of  the  General  Assembly,  he  shall

It  i?,  therefore,  held  that  the  Auditors  of  the  several  counties  should  so 
apportion  the  common  school  revenue  as,  with  the  Congressional  town- 
ship revenue,  "to  equalize,  as  nearly  as  may  be,  the  amount  of  available

Sec.  137.  This  section  assigns  the  management  and  preservation  of 
the  township  library  to  the  Township  Trustee.  The  Trustee's  duties  in 
these  particulars  are  specifically  set  forth  in  this  section  as  follows: 

1.  The  prescribing  of  rules  and  regulations  for  management  of  the 
library. 

2.  The  providing  of  suitable  book-cases  and  rooms  for  library 

3.  The  appointment  of  a  librarian. 

4.  An  announcement  at  the  opening  of  each  term  of  school  through- 
out the  township,  giving  the  needed  information  concerning  the  location 
of  the  library  and  rules  governing  the  same. 

It  is  hoped  Trustees  will  faithfully  carry  out  these  provisions,  it  being 
of  the  first  importance  that  these  books  be  both  read  and  preserved. 

The  Trustee  is  partially  responsible  for  the  former  of  these  results, 
and  wholly  for  the  latter.     In  view,  therefore,  of  these  results,  and  the 


48  SCHOOL    LAW 

of  each  school  term,  at  each  school  house  in  their  respective 
tovrnships,  shall  cause  a  notice, to  be  posted  up,  stating  where 
the  library  is  kept,  and  inviting  the  free  use  of  the  books 
thereof  by  the  persons  of  their  respective  townships. 

Sec.  138.  Every  family  in  the  township  shall  be  entitled 
to  the  use  of  two  volumes  at  a  time  from  said  library,  whether 
any  member  of  such  family  shall  attend  school  or  not. 
S^^uibfao'tt       Sec.  139.  The  Trustees  may  deposit  the  library  at  some 
^o^'?io  cfutrai       central  or  eligible  place  in  the  township,  for  the  convenience 
of  scholars  and  families,  and  th^y  may  appoint  for  that  pur- 
pose a  librarian  to  have  the  care  and  superintendence  thereof. 
Sec.  140.  The  library  shall  be  open  to  all  persons  entitled 
to  its  privileges  throughout  the  year,  without  regard  to  school 
sessions;  Sundays  and  holidays  excepted.

great  benefits  to  accrue  to  the  community  from  a  proper  use  of  these 
libraries,  it  is  specially  urged  upon  Trustees  that  ihey  give  this  matter 
due  attention. 

Trustees  should  promptly  assess  and  collect  damages  for  injury  or  loss 
of  books,  or  require  the  librarian  to  dj  the  same. 

Sec.  139.  Libraries  need  not  of  necessity  be  located  at  the  geographic 
centre  of  the  township,  but  rather  at  the  place  most  convenient  to  the 
greatest  number  of  citizens.  Neither  need  they  always  be  kept  in  the 
same  place,  but  may,  if  the  Trustees  shall  deem  best,  be  changed  as  the 
wants  of  the  community  require. 

Sec.  140.     It  is  no  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  this  section  to 
keep  the  library  open  one  or  two  days  in  the  week  and  closed  at  all  other 
times.     Sundays  and  holidays  are  all  the  times  when  the  library  may  be^  / 
legally  closed. 

Sec.  141.  Examiners  may,  by  exercise  of  the  authority  conferred  by 
this  section,  materially  assist  Trustees  in  keeping  correct  accounts,  and 
thus  secure  accuracy  in  a  part  of  our  statistics  the  most  important  per- 
haps, and  peculiarly  subject  to  errors.  Examiners  are,  therefore,  advised 
to  exercise  such  supervision  of  Trustees"  accounts  as  they  may  find  neces- 
sary to  secure  perfect  accuracy. 

The  power  of  the  Examiner  seems  rather  designed  to  prevent  than  to 
correct  errors.  This  latter  authority  is  vested  by  section  143  in  the 
Board  of  County  Commissioners. 

It  will  seldom  be  necessary  for  the  Examiner  to  summons  a  Trustee  to 
bring  his  books  before  him.  The  necessary  inspection  can  usually  1)6 
made  daring  the  Examiner's  official  visits,  or  at  other  convenient  times, 
when  the  Trustee  will  not  be  needlessly  annoyed  b}'  it.

Examiner,  on  the  County  Treasurer,  for  thirty-five  dollars, 
and  in  case  there  should  be  an  average  attendance  of  forty 
teachers,  or  persons  preparing  to  become  such,  then  the  said 
County  Auditor  shall  draw  his  warrant  on  the  Treasurer  for 
fifty  dollars,  for  the  purpose  of  defraying  the  expenses  of 
said  Institute:  /  rovided,  however^  That  but  one  of  said  pay-  ProTiso. 
^ents  i)e  made  in  the  same  year. 


To  secure  the  ,preserv{rtioii  of  the  house,  it  is  recommended  that  some 
■reliable  party  should  be  held  n-sponsiblo  to  the  Trustee  for  proper  c.ire 
■of  such  property,  and  for  repair  vf  all  damages,  natural  "^^  wear  and  tear" 
■excepted.  This  party  may  be  the  teacher  or  others,  as  may  be  agreed 
■upon. 

It  is  hoped  that  Trustees  will  in^sist  upon  reports  from  teachers,  as  pro- 
Tided  lor  in  th-G  latter  part  of  this  section. 

"The  people  who  form  the  sciiool  at  such  house"  must  here  be  con- 
•strued  to  mean  the  persons  entitled  to  vote  at  the  school  meeting. 

The  Trustee  has  r>o  discretion  as  to  permittdng  the  use  af  a  school  house 
for  a  private  school  when  applied  for  as  provided  in  this  section.  He 
must  permit  the  use. 

The  teacher  occupying  a  school  house,  uc-der  such  petition.,  thereby 
obligates  himself  to  CGmply  with  the  condition  contaiaed  ia  the  law  as  to 
reporting. 

Sec.  159.  The  money  drawn  from  the  county  treasury,  in  accordanoe 
-with  this  section,  is  to  be  used  in  defraying  the  necessary  expenses  of  the 
Institute,  such  as  Superintendent's  fees,  lecturers  expenses,  printers' 
bills,  and  the  like. 

County  Examiners  ought  to  provide  Lecturers  and  Teachers  to  the  full 
extent  of  their  resources  in  conducting  Institutes. 

While  the  law  does  not  require  a  report  to  the  County  Commissioners, 
yet  it  would  no  doubt  be  satisfactory  to  them  to  have  a  statement  of  the 
receipts  and  oxpenditur-ee  incurred  in  conducting  siich  Institutes.

Sec.  160.  When  any  such  Institute  is  in  session,  the  Com- 
mon Schools  of  the  county  in  which  said  Institute  shall  be 
held  shall  be  closed  during  the  session  of  sai«i  Institute. 

Sec.  161.  The  several  County  School  [Examiners]  are 
hereby  required  as  a  part  of  their  duty  to  hold,  or  cause  to 
be  held,  such  Teachers'  Institutes  at  least  once  in  each  year 
in  their  respective  counties. 

Sec.  162.  If  any  parent,  guardian  or  other  person,  from 
any  cause,  fancied  or  real,  visit  a  school  with  the  avowed  in- 
tention of  upbraiding  or  insulting  the  teacher  in  the  presence 
of  the  school,  and  shall  so  upbraid  or  insult  a  teacher,  sucli 
person,  for  such  conduct,  shall  be  liable  to  a  fine  of  not  more 
than  twenty-five  dollars,  which  when  collected,  shall  go  into- 
the  general  tuition  revenue. 

Sec.  163.  A  school  term  of  three  months  shall  be  sixty 
days,  a  school  month  twenty  days,  and  a  school  week  five 
days. 

Sec.  164.  Appeals  shall  be  allowed  from  decisions  of  the 
Trustees  relative  to  school  matters,  to  the  School  Examiners, 
who  shall  receive  and  promptly  determine  the  same  according 
to  the  rules  which  govern  appeals  from  justices  of  the  peace 
to  Common  Pleas  or  Circuit  Courts,  so  far  as  such  rules  are 
applicable,  and  their  decisions  of  all  local  questions  relating  i 
to  the  legality  of  school  meetings,  establishment  of  schools, 


Sec.  160  The  Examiner  should  notify  the  School  Trustees  of  the- 
time  when  the  Institute  will  be  held,  and  th^y  should  cause  the  schools- 
of  their  respective  corporations  to  be  closed,  as  required  in  this  section. 

A  teacher,  by  his  contract,  binds  himself  to  be  governed  in  the  man- 
agement of  his  school  by  the  school  laws  of  the  State.  It  seeins,  there- 
fore, part  of  his  contract  that  his  school  shall  be  closed  during  the  session 
of  the  County  Institute,  should  that  occur  during  his  school  term,  and 
lie  have  notice  of  the  same. 

Teachers  are  entitled  to  no  compensation  for  the  time  their  s-chools  are 
closed  on  account  of  the  Institute,  even  though  tbey  attend  such  Insti- 
tute. 

Sec.  161.  In  case  the  Examiner  is  inexperienced  in  the  management 
of  an  Institute,  it  is  recommended  that,  when  practicable,  the  services  of 
an  experienced  Institute  holder  should  be  secured. 

Sec.  163.  The  law  does  not  define  a  school  day,  but  custom  has  fixed 
its  limit  at  six  hours,  exclusive  of  the  noon  recess.  This  is  perhaps  long' 
euough  for  pupils  of  any  age,  and  too  long  for  the  yonngest,  unless  they 
are  relieved  by  frecjuent  recesses. 

Sec.  164.  When  an  appeal  is  taken  from  a  decision  of  a  Township 
Trustee,  he  should  make  a  transcript  of  his  record,  which,  with  all  papers 
in  the  case,  should  be  certified  and  filed  with  the  Examiner. 

It  is  a  rule  that  an  appeal  from  the  judgment  of  a  justice  of  the  peace 
to  the  Common  Pleas  or  Circuit  Court  must  be-  taken  within,  thirty  days-..

and  the  location,  building,  repair  or  removal  of  school  houses, 
or  transfers  of  persons  for  school  purposes,  and  designation 
and  dismissal  of  teachers  shall  be  final. 

Sec.  165.  Appeals  shall  be  allowed  from  the  decisions  of  Appeal  from 

QfCislOIl  OI 

the  School  Examiner  to  the  Superintendent  of  Public  In-  examiner, 
struction,  on  all  matters  not  otherwise  provided  for  in  the 
next  preceding  section,  and  the  rules  that  govern  appeals 
from  justices  of  the  peace  to  the  Common  Pleas  or  Circuit 
Courts  as  to  the  time  of  taking  an  appeal,  giving  bond,  &c., 
shall  be  applicable  in  appeals  from  the  School  Examiner  to 
the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 

Sec.  166.  School  oflBcers  are  hereby  authorized  and  em-  school  officers 
powered  to  administer  all  oaths  relative  to  school  business  administer 
appertaining  to  their  respective  offices.  ^''^^^^' 

Sec.  167.  The  Bible  shall  not  be  excluded  from  the  public  TheBibienot  to 

schools   of    the   State.  from  the  public 

schools. 

It  is  also  a  rule  that  an  appeal  may  be  granted  by  the  appellate  after  the 
expiration  of  the  thirty  days  when  the  party  seeking  an  appeal  has  been 
prevented  from  taking  the  same  by  circumstances  not  under  his  control.  ^ 

Both  these  rules  arc  applicable  in  appeals  from  Trustees  to  Examiners, 
and  from  Examiners  to  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 

No  bond  is  necessary  in  an  appeal  from  a  Trustee  to  the  School  Exam- 
iner; a  bond,  however,  seems  contemplated  by  law  in  appeals  from  the 
Examiner  to  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction, 

When  an  appeal  is  taken  from  a  decision  of  a  Trustee  to  the  School 
Examiner,  the  former  must  within  twenty  days  file  a  certified  transcript 
of  his  proceedings,  with  all  papers  in  the  case,  with  the  Examiner;  and 
in  case  of  appeal  from  the  Examiner  to  the  Superintendent  of  Public 
Instruction,  the  transcript  and  papers  must  likewise  be  filed  within 
twenty  days. 

The  statute  making  the  decision  of  the  Examiner  final  on  appeal  in  all 
cases  relating  to  the  location,  building,  repair,  or  removal  of  school 
houses,  and  the  transfer  of  persons  for  school  purposes,  does  not  embrace 
questions  of  fraud  in  contracts  for  building  school  houses.  Of  these  the 
Circuit  Court  has  jurisdiction.  The  State,  &c  v.  Earhart  and  another, 
27  Ind.  R.,  119. 

Skc.  165.  In  case  of  an  appeal  from  a  decision  of  the  Examiner,  he 
should  make  a  transcript  of  his  record  of  the  case,  which,  with  all  papers 
in  the  case,  should  be  certified,  and  with  the  required  bond  be 'filed  with 
the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 

Sec.  167.  This  section  provides  that  the  Bible  shall  not,  by  authority, 
be  excluded  from  any  public  school,  and,  therefore,  guarantees  the  right 
to  use  the  Bible  in  the  schools  of  the  State. 

1.  The  Bible  should  be  held  as  supreme  authority  in  all  questions  of 
morals. 

2.  The  teacher  should,  throughout  the  entire  school  course,  give  spe- 
cial attention  to  the  moral  culture  and  training  of  his  pupils,  faithfully

SUPERINTENDENTS  OF  CITY  SCHOOLS. 

The  following  was  unanimously  approved  as  the  opinion  of  the  State  Board  of 
Education  on  the  subject  of  the  employment  of  Superintendents  for  the  Gradation 
and  Management  of  City  Schools,  and  of  reports  of  their  Statistics,  at  a  meeting 
held  at  Indianapolis,  May  20th,  1869: 

(See  School  Law,  sec.  154) 

"As  the  office  of  Superintendent  of  Graded  Schools  in  towns  and  cities  is  re- 
co'^nized  by  the  School  Law  of  Indiana,  and  the  utility  and  necessity  of  such  an 
officer  have  been  demonstrated  by  long  experience  in  the  practical  working  of  the 
school  system,  we  believe  such  an  officer  is  legal  and  necessary.  I!n'o  city  or  town 
can  successfully  carry  out  a  graded  system  of  education  without  some  officer,  whose 
duty  it  shall  be  to  watch  over  the  departments  of  the  system  and  see  that  the 
teacher's  work  is  brought  up  to  the  proper  standard,  and  that  the  Primary,  the  Inter- 
mediate and  the  High  School  sustain  the  proper  relation  to  each  other;  and  that  the 
courses  of  study  in  each  are  correctly  presented  and  taught.  One  competent  mind 
is  indispensable  for  the  successful  accomplishment  of  this  work.  "We  therefore 
earnestly  recommend  that  the  School  Trustees  in  all  the  larger  cities  and  towns, 
where  the  schools  are  in  different  buildings  and  the  labor  great,  appoint  as  Superin- 
tendent some  practical  teacher  who  shall  devote  his  whole  time  to  the  supervision 
of  the  sdiools  and  the  other  duties  belonging  to  his  office.  But  in  towns  where  the 
departments  are  in  the  same  building,  or  in  buildings  easily  accessible,  such  Super- 
intendent may  devote  part  of  his  time  to  teaching,  at  the  option  of  the  Trustees."

SCHOOL  MEETINGS  IN  CITIES  AND  TOWNS, 


Quesiion — Does  section    2G  of  the   School  Law  provide  for  school  meetings  in^ 
cities  and.  incorporated  towns? 

Answer — The  meetings  provided  for  in  "Sections  25  and  26  of  the  School  Law" 
are  intended  for  school  districts  in  townships  as  contradistinguished  from  cities  and 
towns.  It  is  I'nforturate  that  the  law  does  not  more  clearly  indicate  this.  It  is 
certain  that  the  law  intends  that  the  schools  of  cities  and  towns  shall  be  managed  in 
many  respects  diflercntly  from  those  of  districts  in  townships ;  and  yet  the  general 
powers  of  School  Trustees  o^  cities  and  towns  are  so  confused  in  the  law  with  those 
0?  Township  Trustees,  relative  to  schools,  that  a  superficial  examination  might  lead 
us  to  the  general  conclusion,  that  the  management  of  schools  in  both  is  essentially 


72  APPENDIX. 

the  same.  From  this  conclusion  some  persons  assume  that  section  25  [26]  of  the 
School  Law  commits  the  selection  of  teachers,  &c.,  in  cities  and  towns  as  well  as  in 
townships  to  school  meetings.  But  the  letter  of  this  section  does  not  support  the 
assumption.  The  legality  of  the  meetings  herein  provided  for,  if  called  in  ques- 
tion, "shall  be  determined  by  the  Township  Trustee.'^  These  meetings  are  by  this 
section  authorized  to  peiition  the  Township  Trustee  for  the  removal,  erection,  re- 
pair, &c.,  of  their  school  house.  It  will  not  be  contended  that  the  Towns  ip  Trust-e 
is  authorized  by  law  to  determine  the  legality  of  school  meetings  in  towns  and 
cities,  or  to  erect  or  repair  town  or  city  school  houses.  Yet  this  power  seems  to  be 
conferred  by  the  letter  of  the  law  if  school  meetings  are  provided  for  in  towns  and 
cities.  Every  reference  to  the  Trustee  is  either  in  terms  or  by  nec^-ssnry  implica- 
tion to  the  Township  Trustee. 

To  every  school  meeting  provided  for  by  law  there  is  a  School  Director.  This 
officer  is  by  the  School  Law  (sec.  29)  made  the  or^n  of  communication  between 
school  meetings  and  the  Township  Tiustees.  In  section  32  it  is  provided  that  '-the 
decision  of  the  Director  in  excluding  a  pupil  from  school  shall  be  subject  to  appeal 
to  the  Tojonskip  TriLstee.  Are  school  meetings  in  cities  and  towns  to  communicate 
with  the  Township  Trustee?  or  is  this  officer  to  determine  in  the  last  resort  the 
-legality  of  the  exclusion  of  a  pupil  from  a  city  school  ?     Certainly  not. 

It  may  be  observed  in  passing,  that  in  all  the  sections  referring  to  school  meet- 
'ings  or  School  Directors,  that  all  references  are  either  in  terms  to  the  Township 
'Trustee  or  to  the  "  Trustee,"  using  in  every  instance  the  singular  number,  h  it 
probable  that  the  Legislature  shmtld  use  these  t^rnis  in  this  manner  if  referring  to 
the  Trustees  of  cities  and  towns? 

In  sections  7,  8,  9,  10,  12,  14,  16,  17,  20  and  21,  which  prescribe  the  general  pow- 
ers and  duties  of  Trustees,  the  School  Trustees  of  cities  and  towns  are  either 
expressly  named,  or  direct  reference  is  made  to  cities  and  towns.  This  would  indi- 
cate that  when  the  Legislature  intended  a  power  to  be  exercised  in  ciiies  and  towns, 
it  indicated  that  fact  either  by  direct  refer*  nee  to  ciiies  and  towns  or  to  the  Trustees 
thereof.  The  only  exceptions  that  I  notice  are  in  sections  18,  23  and  24,  in  which 
the  duties  and  penalties  apply  to  both. 

Tfcis  uniform  mention  on  the  one  hand  and  omission  on  the  other,  cannot  be  ac- 
cidental, and  can  be  accounted  ft)r  only  on  the  hypothesis  that  the  Legislature  did 
not  intend  tD  provide  f  >r  school  mf-etiiigs  in  towns  and  cities. 

This  will  appear  more  reasonable  if  we  consider  the  impracticability  of  such 
meetings  in  cities  and  large  towns.  Cities  and  incorporated  towns  form  but  single 
school  districts      Schc»ol  Law,  sec.  14. 

t;everal  of  these  have  a  larger  school  population  and  employ  a  greater  number  (>f 
teachers  than  any  township  in  the  State.  In  some  the  number  of  school  houses  is 
greater  than  the  averHge  in  the  townships.  Their  schools  are  divided  into  many 
grades,  each  grade  employing  several  teachers.  The  grade  to  which  pupils  are  ad- 
mitted depends  upon  the  advancement  of  the  pupils  wnd  not  upon  the  choice  of 
parents.  It  is  clearly  impracticable  for  a  city  or  large  town  acting  as  a  unit  in  a 
school  meeting,  to  designate  all  their  teachers,  determine  in  what  grade  each  shall 
teach,  in  what  house  each  shall  be  em^)loyed,  what  branches  shall  be  taught  in  the 
schools  and  in  ea;h  grade  of  school.  It  is  quite  as  impracticnbie  for  a  city  as  a  unit 
to  act  upon  the  dismissal  of  teachers.  If  the  city  is  largf*  comparatively  few  of  the 
voters  will  be  interested  in  the  matter.  Their  children  will  be  under  the  care  of 
another,  and  they  can  have  no  personal  knowledge  of  the  charges  alleged.    Indian- 


APPENDIX.  73 

apolis  employs  about  sorenty-five  teachers,  and  in  all  probability  but  few  parents 
send  children  to  more  than  three  of  these,  and  it  is  not  probable  that  a  majority  of 
parents  have  any  knowledge  of  the  merits  and  demerits  of  a  greater  number.  In 
such  a  city  parents  are  directly  interested  in  school  houses  located  near  them,  but 
only  remotely  in  others — not  more  interested  in  them  than  any  citizen  of  a  town- 
ship is  interested  in  the  school  houses  of  his  township  outaide  of  his  own  schobl 
district.  Yet  a  meeting  in  the  city  must  be,  if  at  all,  of  all  the  voters,  and  not  ©f 
those  immediately  interested 

These  things  could  not  have  escaped  the  attention  of  the  Legislature,  and  it  is 
scarcely  conceivable  that  with  the  matter  properly  before  them  they  should  at  the 
same  time  have  provided  for  school  meetings  in  cities,  and  also  that  each  city 
should  constitute  but  one  school  meeting.  Yet  this  is  the  conclusion  to  which  we 
are  forced  upon  the  hypothesis  that  school  meetings  in  cities  and  towns  are  author- 
ized by  law. 

The  language  of  the  law  and  the  reason  of  the  case  both  failing  to  support  suck 
a  hypothesis,  it  seems  to  mo  necessary  to  conclude  that  school  meetings  in  cities  and 
towns  are  not  contemplated  and  there/ore  not  authorized  by  Uno. 


TRUANCY  RULES. 

Question — Is  the  following  rule  warranted  by  law? 

Any  pupil  who  shall  be  absent  from  school  to  the  amount  of  three  school  days  in 
any  one  term,  not  certified  to  the  teacher  by  the  parent  or  guardian,  either  in  per- 
son or  by  note,  as  necessary  or  inevitable,  shall  be  required  to  obtain  a  written  per- 
mit from  the  President  of  the  Board  before  admission  again  to  school;  and  three 
cases  of  tardiness  shall  be  considered  as  one  day's  absence. 

Answer — The  rule  seems  to  me  to  have  but  two  objects:  1st.  To  prevent  truancy. 
2d.  To  protect  from  the  charge  of  truancy  pupils  innocently  absent  from  school. 
Both  objects  are  proper,  and  the  only  questions  presented  are,  1st.  Is  it  lawtul  t© 
exclude  pupils  from  school  for  habitual  truancy?  2i.  Is  proof  of  habitual  absence 
without  the  certificate  required  by  the  rnle,  competent  evidence  to  sustain  the 
charge  of  truancy? 

The  law  provides  (sec.  31)  that  refractory  pupils  may  be  excluded  from  school. 
Truancy  is  a  very  great  evil,  tending  in  various  ways  to  disturb  the  order  and  inter- 
rupt the  progress  of  the  whole  school.  A  very  high  authority  has  declared  it  the 
greatest  hindrance  to  the  improvement  of  our  schools,  and  the  laws  of  some  States 
have  made  it  in  some  sense  penal. 

Considering  the  magnitude  of  the  evil,  then,  it  seems  scarcely  to  admit  of  ques- 
tion that  pupils  habitually,  incorrigibly  truant,  may  be  excluded  from  school  for 
the  current  term  as  refractory. 

Does  the  rule  provide  competent  evidence?  In  the  nature  of  things,  teachers 
cannot  know  why  pupils  are  absent  from  school.  They  can  only  note  and  record 
the  fact  of  absence.  The  cause  is  peculiarly  within  the  knowledge  of  parent  and 
pupil.     School  officers  are  thus  reduced  to  the  necessity  of  requiring  evidence  such 


74  APPENDIX. 

as  demanded  bj  the  rule,  seeking  other  evidence  or  sufFcriug  all  the  evils  and 
inconveniences  resulting  from  unchecked  truancy.  The  second  appears  impracti- 
cable, and  the  third  cannot  be  endured  if  we  intend  to  maintain  an  efficient  system 
of  schools      We  have,  then,  no  alternative  left  but  the  principle  of  the  rule. 

The  rule  imposes  no  hardship  upon  either  parent  or  pupil.  The  labor  required 
of  the  former  is  too  slight  to  deserve  mention,  and  only  asking  the  certificate,  is  re- 
quired of  the  latter. 

Parents  are  as  deeply  interested  as  teachers  in  the  success  and  efficiency  of  the 
schools,  and  should  gladly  co-operate  in  every  effort  to  prevent  truancy,  and  especi- 
ally is  it  their  interest  to  protect  their  own  children  in  the  enjoyment  of  all  the 
rights  and  privileges  of  the  public  schools. 

These  considerations  induce  me  to  hold  that  the  principle  of  the  rule  is  legal. 
Perhaps  the  form  here  submitted  is  not  the  best  that  could  be  devised;  possibly  the 
time  allowed — absence  to  ihe  amount  of  three  days — is  too  short.  However  these 
matters  of  detail  may  be  determined,  I  cannot  but  think  the  principle  involved  is 
correct  in  law. 

Could  I  see  any  hardship  to  result  from  the  rule,  or  anything  but  harm  to  the 
schools  to  result  from  its  abolishment,  I  might  hold  otherwise,  but  viewing  the 
matter  as  I  do,  I  cannot. 


TO  SCHOOL  EXAIVIINERS. 

It  is  made  the  duty  of  School  Examiners,  by  sec,  39  of  the  School  Law,  to  "re- 
ceive from  the  Trustees  thfir  reports  of  enumeration,  and  the'r  regular  school  and 
other  reports,  which  are  required  by  law  to  be  made  to  them,  and  otherwise 
gather  up  the  necessary  daia  and  infoT^natior,,  including  that  relative  to  private  schools, 
high  schools,  colleges,  and  other  private  institutions  of  learning  within  tlieir  respective 
counties,  so  as  to  jyresent  a  view  of  the  educational  facilities  of  the  State,  and  enable 
them  to  make  full  and  complete  reports  to  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction." 

The  use  of  the  word  otherwise  in  this  provision  implies  that  Examiners  are  not 
to  rely  upon  Trustees'  reports  for  the  information  required  by  that  part  of  the  pro- 
vision printed  in  italics.  They  are  to  receive  certain  specified  information  from 
the  Trustees,  and  otherwise  ascertain  the  remainder  required.  This  remainder  is 
all  that  is  necessary  to  enable  them  to  make  full  and  complete  repcn^ts  to  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Public  Instruction,  and  includes  that  relative  to  "high  schools,  colleges, 
and  other  private  institutions  of  learning;"  but  it  is  not  intended  that  this  latter 
shall  form  the  entire  report  of  the  matters  which  the  Examiner  is  required  other- 
wise to  gather  up. 

No  blank  form  can  be  adopted  to  show  all  that  it  is  desirable  that  Examiners 
should  report  under  the  provision  of  law  in  question.  A  blank  is  furnished  for  re- 
porting certain  matters  relative  to  high  schools  and  colleges,  but  it  is  desirable  that 
much  more  should  be  reported,  and  that  of  a  kind  not  easily  provided  for  in  a 
blank. 

"While  it  is  not  intended  to  prescribe  to  Examiners  the  precise  form  of  their  re- 
ports, or  the  matter  they  shall  contain,  it  is  suggested  to  Examiners,  and  they  are 


APPENDIX  75 

herebj'  requested,  wben  tbcy  have  gathered  up  the  necessarj  information  to  eaable 
them  to  make  full  and  complete  reports,  to  embody  the  same  as  briefly  as  practica- 
l)le  in  the  form  of  a  written  report,  showing  the  educational  state,  progress  and 
facilities  of  their  respecsive  counties.  This  should  bs  in  addition  to  all  the  reports- 
for  which  blanks  are  now  provided,  and  should  embrace  in  its  scope  public  and 
private  schools  alike. 

With  respect  to  public  schools  the  following  matters  are  desirable: 

The  efficiency  of  the  schools,  the  qualilication  of  teachers,  the  adaptation  of 
school  houses  and  furniture  for  the  use  of  schools,  the  sufficiency  or  insufficiency  of 
school  houses  to  accommodate  the  pupils  of  the  county,  the  general  condition  of 
school  houses  aad  grounds  as  to  preservation  and  the  care  taken  of  them  by  Trus- 
tees and  Directors,  improvement  or  decline,  if  any,  in  the  qualification  of  teachers^ 
the  present  needs  of  the  schools,  interest  taken  by  the  people  generally  in  the  sub- 
ject of  education,  the  prospects  for  improvement  and  advanced  steps  being  taken. 

"With  regard  to  high  schools,  colleges,  &c.,  reports  should  embrace  the  following 
points : 

Their  number,  capacity  for  aecommodatioo  of  students:  their  course  of  instruc- 
tion, thoroughness  of  discipline  and  instruction;  expense  to  students,  including 
boarding  per  diem  or  per  annum ;  whether  depending  on  patronage  or  endowment, 
and  how  well  sustained;  facilities,  if  any,  afforded  for  professional  education  of 
teachers,  and  whether  the  officers  and  teachers  of  such  institutions  take  an  active 
interest  in  the  cause  of  common  school  education. 

Such  reports  should  be  made  on  or  before  the  15th  day  of  September  of  each 
year  next  preceding  a  session  of  the  General  Assembly,  and  should  be  so  full  and 
complete  and  carefully  prepared  that  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction 
may  print  them  in  his  biennial  report,  and  thus  furnish  the  fullest  and  most  specific 
information  upon  the  subjects  to  which  they  relate. 

These  reports  are  called  for  by  virtue  of  the  authority  conferred  upon  the  Super- 
intendent of  Public  Instruction,  by  section  127  of  the  School  Law. 


BLANK  FORMS. 


The  following  blank  forms  do  not  comprise  a  full  set  for  all  purposes  under  the 
law.  All  furnished  annually  from  this  office,  together  with  bonds,  contracts,  &c., 
and  a  few  for  which  those  published  are  readily  adapted,  are  omitted. 

Of  the  following  especial  attention  is  called  to  those  relating  to  accounts,  trans- 
fers for  school  purposes,  notices  of  transfers,  enumeration  of  Congressional  town- 
ships divided  by  a  county  line,  and  notices  of  revenue  held  by  one  county  for  part 
of  a  Congressional  township  divided  by  a  county  line,  situated  in  another,  as  these 
are  matters  upon  which  mistakes  frequently  occur,  and  less  generally  understood 
than  most  other  things  required  by  the  lav,'. 

Officers  are  advised  when  performing  any  duty  to  which  these  blanks  are  appli- 
cable to  use  them  in  preference  to  others,  as  by  this  we  secure  uniformity  of  admin- 
istration, and  in  time  render  that  readily  understood  which  now  seems  complicated 
and  obscure.

,  Trustee. 

The  law  preecribes  no  method  of  taking  an  appeal  from  the  decision  of  the 
Director  excluding  a  pupil  from  school.  As  justice  and  the  requirements  of  the  law 
-will  be  fully  met  thereby,  it  is  held  that  a  parent  or  guardian  feeling  aggrieved  by 
the  exclusion  of  his  child  from  school,  may  take  his  appeal  to  the  Trustee  by  filing 
with  that  officer  a  statement  in  writing  that  his  child  has  been  excluded  from  school 
without  good  cause,  and  praying  that  the  Trustee  will  liear  and  determine  the  case. 

Upon  filing  each*  statement,  the  Trustee  should  fix  a  convenient  day  for  hearing 

the  ease,  and  while  the  proceeding  is,  perhaps,  in  strictness,  ex  parte,  should  notify 
the  Director  of  the  day  fixed,  and,  through  him,  request  the  attendance  of  such 
persons  as  know  the  truth  of  the  matter  t©  be  determined. 

"When  the  Trustee  has  fully  investigated  the  case,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  affirm  or 
reverse  the  decisioa  <3f  the  Director.

You  are  hereby  notified  that  the  persons  named  in  the  annexed  list  have  been  by 
me  transferred  to  your ,  for  school  purposes,  under  the  pro- 
visions of  section  16  of  the  school  law;  and  that  the  number  of  children  in  charge 
of  each,  subject  to  enumeration  for  school  purposes,  distinguishing  between  male 
and  female,  is  correctly  shown  in  the  ruled  columns  to  the  right,  opposite  the  name

,  School  Trustee  of 


For  the  sake  of  uniformity,  this  notice  is  arranged  to  show  the  Congressional' 
Townships  in  which  the  persons  transferred  reside.  The  utility  of  this  may  seem 
doubtful,  as  there  is  no  provision  of  law  that  persons  transferred  to  a  civil  town- 
ship beyond  the  limits  of  their  Congressional  Township,  shall  receive  their  Con- 
gressional Township  revenue  in  the  civil  township  to  which  they  are  transferred. 
Such  a  provision  would,  in  fact,  in  almost  every  case,  have  no  other  effect  than  to 
annoy  and  confuse  oflHcers  with  a  multiplicity  of  intricate  accounts.  Still,  as  the 
law  requires  that  the  Trustee's  report  shall  show  the  Congressional  townships  in 
which  the  children  in  their  respective  corporation  reside,  and  as  a  case  possibly 
may  arise  in  which  such  a  showing  would  be  essential  to  a  correct  administration, 
of  the  law,  it  should  never  be  omitted.

informed  whether  the  enumeration  of  that  part  of  the  Congressional  Township 
lying  in  their  County,  is  properly  reported  to  the  Examiner  of  the  County  in  which 
the  fund  of  such  Township  is  managed,  as  required  by  section  19  of  the  School 
Law,  and  in  order  that  all  ground  for  suspicion  of  unfairness  or  impartiality  may 
be  removed.  Many  complaints  come  to  this  office  concerning  the  division  of  the 
revenues  of  Congressional  Townships  divided  by  County  lines^  and  occasionally 
officers  making  the  division  are  charged  with  partiality. 

It  is  believed  that  the  use  of  this  form  will  effectually  prevent  complaints  and 
intimations  of  unfairness.

TO  TOWNSHIP  AND  CITY  SCHOOL  TRUSTEES. 

Trustee's  Office,  Center  Township,  i 
Indianapolis,  March  13th,  1869.      ^ 

Hoyi.  B.  C.  Hohhs,  S%iperintendent  of  Public  Instruction: 

I  understand  that  many   Township   Trustees  subscribe  for  the  Indiana  School 

Journal,  and  pay  for  it  out  of  the  special  school  revenue.     Please  inform  me  by 

what  authority  they  do  this,  and  oblige 

C.  C.  Heizer, 

Trustee  of  Center  Township,  Marion  County, 

Reply. — On  the  Slst  day  of  December,  1862,  Hon.  S.  L.  Rugg,  Superintendent 
of  Public  Instruction,  in  reply  to  an  inquiry  by  E.  P.  Cole,  the  School  Examiner 
of  Monroe  County,  gave  the  following  official  opinion  : 

"Professor  Cole — Dear  Sir :  To  your  inquiry,  as  to  whether  Trustees  charged 
with  school  duties,  have  a  right,  under  the  law,  to  subscribe  for  the  Indiana  School 
Journal^  for  their  respective  offices,  to  be  paid  out  of  the  special  school  revenue  in 
their  hands,  I  answer,  I  think  they  have  such  a  right.  Section  11  of  the  School 
Law  provides,  in  substance,  that  necessary  expenses,  in  providing  for  and  organ- 
izing schools,  may  be  paid  from  that  revenue. 

"I  understand,  from  its  managers,  that  the  School  Journal  is  to  be  made  by  them 
a  kind  of  medium  for  the  publication  of  the  official  decisions  and  proceedings  of 
the  officer  at  the  head  of  the  Department  of  Public  Instruction  for  the  State,  and 
as  such  medium  the  Journal  will  become  a  very  useful  and  perhaps  necessary  fix- 
ture to  the  office  of  School  Trustee,  for  the  improvement  of  schools. 

"  Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

"Samuel  L.  Ruqo, 

"Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction." 

This  decision,  for  more  than  six  years,  has  stood  as  an  authoritative  exposition 
of  the  law,  and  its  propriety  and  correctness,  so  far  as  I  am  informed,  have  never 
been  questioned  ;  certainly  no  effort  has  ever  been  made  to  have  it  reversed,  though 
it  has  been  continuously  acted  on  from  its  promulgation  to  the  present. 

The  same  conditions  exist  now  as  when  the  decision  was  given.  The  law  has  not 
been  changed  in  any  point  material  to  the  question;  no  additional  facilities  have 
been  given  the  Superintendent,  by  law,  for  placing  his  opinions,  decisions,  and  in- 
structions in  the  hands  of  Trustees;  the  School  Journal  still  stands  as  a  "medium 
for  the  publication  of  the  official  decisions  and  proceedings  of  the  officer  at  the 
head  of  the  department  of  Public  Instruction  of  the  State."  Whatever  reason, 
therefore,  existed  for  originally  rendering  the  opinion,  exists  to-day  for  its  affirm- 
ance. 

The  need  of  such  a  medium  has  ever  been  felt.  Several  of  the  States  have 
adopted  laws  providing  that  each  School  Trustee  shall,  at  the  expense  of  the  State, 
be  furnished  with  a  copy  of  the  educational  journal  adopted  as  the  organ  of  the 
Department  of  Public  Instruction.  It  has  not  been  deemed  sufficient,  merely  td 
authorize  Trustees,  in  their  discretion,  to  take  such  a  journal  at  public  expense,  but 
in  three  States,  at  least,  the  periodical  is  thus  sent  to  each  Trustee,  whether  re- 
quested or  not. 


88  APPENDIX. 

Professor  Larrabee,  Indiana's  first  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  in  his 
first  report,  in  speaking  of  this  subject,  says:  "The  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction needs  some  periodical  organ  of  communication  with  the  people.  1  see  not 
how  he  can  get  along  without  it.  *  *  *  *  It  should  be  circulated  in  all  the 
Townships  of  the  State,  among  the  Township  Trustees,  teachers,  parents  and  chil- 
dren.'" After  the  experience  of  one  term  in  the  office,  Superintendent  Kugg,  in  the 
ninth  annual  report  from  this  department,  declares  that  the  employment  of  such  a 
medium  would  save  the  State  many  times  what  it  would  cost  to  bring  it  into  gene- 
ral use. 

Finding  such  opinions  generally  held  by  those  who  had  filled  the  office  of  Superin- 
tendent of  Public  Instruction,  it  is  not  surprising  that  Superintendent  Pwugg  should, 
during  his  second  term  of  office,  consider  the  School  Journal,  then  ofi"ered  as  the 
desired  medium,  an  essential  aid  to  Trustees  in  the  discharge  of  their  duties,  and 
that  the  law  authorized  them  "to  subscribe  for''  it  "  for  the  use  of  their  respective 
offices,  to  be  paid  for  out  of  the  special  school  revenue  in  their  hands." 

It  is  not  claimed  that  the  law,  in  terms,  authorizes  Trustees  to  subscribe  for  the 
School  Journal,  and  pay  for  it  out  of  the  special  school  revenue;  nor  is  it  claimed 
that  generally  they  may,  under  the  law,  purchase  whatever  they  may  deem  neces- 
sary to  the  due  adniinistration  or  their  office,  though  such  authority,  if  not  abused, 
would  scarcely  be  questioned. 

The  decision  amounts  to  this:  The  law  providing  for  organizing  and  conducting 
schools,  is  sufficient  to  warrant  the  Trustee  to  take  the  School  Journal  and  pay  for 
it  out  of  the  special  school  revenue.  This  decision  is  made  in  view  of  the  import- 
ance that  Trustees  should  be  officially  informed  of  the  decisions,  opinions  and 
instructions  issuing  from  the  office  of  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  and  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  these  are  regularly  published  in  the  School  Journal  over  the 
official  signature  of  the  Superintendent. 

It  is  to  be  regretied  that  the  question  involved  must  be  settled  by  construction 
of  the  statute,  as  it  can  hardly  be  expected  that  all  will  agree  in  any  decision  upon 
such  a  point,  when  the  law  is  not  positive.  But  guided  by  the  judgment  of  my 
predecessors,  confirmed,  as  it  is,  by  long  usage,  growing  out  of  an  educational 
necessity,  which  is  found  in  other  States  in  common  with  our  own,  I  think  it  is 
safest  to  affirm  the  opinion  of  Superintendent  Rugg. 

Barnabas  C.  Hobbs, 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.
