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.

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,

13

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 :

Deficit October 31, 1866 111,660 83
Deficit October 31,1867 84,349 26
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
20
fS the most important in our systera of taxation, and should receive
the most earnest attention of the Legislature.
The expenses for the current fiscal year may be estimated as fol-
lows :

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.

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.
30
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.
The fol lowing: statements show the number and amounts of the
bonds so held in trust, and the amount of interest due at the dates
give" ; mIjo the condition of the Three per cent. Fund, and the amount
witliheld to apply to the payment of interest-

RECEIPT OF BONDS — FINAL SETTLEMENT.
On the 5th of November Governor Baker wrote to Hon. Hugh
McGulloch, kSecretary of the Treasury, as follows :
**I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt from the Secretary
of the Interior the follovr'ing described bonds, held in trust by the
Secretary of the Interior for the benefit of various Indian tribes, viz:
Nos. 1 to 100, inclusive, $1,000 each ^100,000 00

$141,000 00
issued under an act of the General Assembly of the
State of Indiana, entitled "An Act to provide for a
general system of Internal Improvements, ' approved
January l!7, 1886.
These bonds bear 5 per cent, interest, and were is-
sued in Indianapolis, Indiana, July 1, I83l>, and ma-
tured on the 1st of January, 1857.
The accrued interest upon said Bonds from July 1,
1849, to November 1, 1868, amounts to 136,300 00
Total matured Bonds and interest thereon §277,300 00
Of the above amount of accrued interest, §52,875 is
represented by 15 coupons attached to each Bond, the
last of which matured January 1, 1857. The balance of
sai'l interest, to- wit: §83,425, accrued from January 1,
1857, to October 31, 1868.
The Secretary of the Interior also holds in trust for

Canal, loans of 1834 and 1835, to-wit:
Sixty nine coupon Bonds of §1,000 each, sixty-three

and the coupons represcftting the same have been sur- '
rendered to me, together with the coupon belonging to
Bond No. 564, of the same class as the above, said cou-

including $40,000 advanced for State Ofiices' Build-
ing Fund 224,234 00
Making a total of $3,532, c55 88

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

BIENNIAL REPORT
OF THE
iGENT OF STATE
OF THE
STATE OF INDIANA
January 1, 1869.
TO THE LEGISLATURE.
INDIANAPOLIS:
ALEXANDER H. CONNER, STATE PRINTER.
. 1869.
D. J.— S. A.— 1
R E ? 0 R T .
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-
dians, were paid in fnlL together with interest due, as will be fully
6
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
D. J.— D. D. R.— 2
18
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
33
and are highly appreciated. The following is a list of those sent
during the past year :

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.

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-
port and specific objects, in the hands of the State
\ Treasurer, Nov. 1, 1867 820,352 r>4
xVppropriation for current support from April 1, 18G8,
to March 31, 1869, inclusive ^i5,000 00
Amount reimbursed by counties during the year, on ac-
count of advances for clothing and traveling expenses
of pupils 2,944 14
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,
ANDREW WALLACE, President

school or work department ; two, M. Amelia Bross and Susan E.

at their homes, with consumj)tion ; one, Ellen E. Jelres, left to ac-

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.

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.

Al.EXANDER II. CONNER, ?iTATK rKINTKK
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.

I
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
amounting to about ... 1,000 00
Rent for lease of land unreported 400 00
Total deficit for year ending Dee. 15, 18G8 17,404 98
Deduct from that the amounts for permanent improvements, 4,000. 1,;^0(», and 32,235,08.. 7,535 OS
And you will find the excess of current expenses over the receipts to be „ 9,Sfi9 90
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,

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Am Treasurer of the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis
Railroad. H:\veresidedherethirryyears. Know Col. Merriwether;
have known hirn more than ten years; am acquainted with his
general reputation for truth and veracity. Never heard any one
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
female convicts.
WILLIAM HOWARD.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

thereof, and their respective powers and duties, and matters properly
connected therewith, and prescribing the fe^s for certain officers there-

[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.

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

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

are hereby authorized and required to provide for such deficit

Sec. 4. Each civil township and each incorporated town or school Corpora-

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-

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

such incorporated cities and towns may be deemed just, to be

proving and acceptinsr the bonds of any such Trustees, shall quire sufficient

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-

or other revenues; and in case of a vacancy in the office of
Trustee, the Oonnty Auditor shall appoint a person to fill the

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

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

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

are divided by a county or civil townehip line, or when other lands have

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

materials, or furniture and fuel shall be received at the option
of said Trustee.
County Auditor Sec. 13 The Couuty Auditor shall, upon the property and
ses^sm^n^s'' Tf poUs liable for taxation for State and county purposes, make
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

Time and man- Sec. 14. The Trustees of the several townships, towns and
STumeration'b^ cities shall, bctweeu the 1st of July and the 1st of Septem-
Trustee. bcr, iu cach year, make an enumeration of the white children
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
OF INDIANA; 17
within their respective townships, towns, and cities, between
the ages of six and twenty-one years, exclusive of nunried
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.

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

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

enumeration of the civil township,) to the Examiner of his own county;
the other, to the Examiner of the county in which the fund of such Con-
gressional township is managed. This is designed to furnish the Exam-
iner the data requisite to make the basis of distribution of the revenue
of such Congressional township to the several parts thereof. Auditors'
reports to this office indicate that Trustees frequently omit or neglect to

to <iischarge the same. The Director so elected shali, within
ten days after said election, notify the Trustee of his elec-

w^ith appoint a Director of said school ; but aiiy l^irector so
appointed may be removed upon a petiiion of three fourths
of the persons attached to said school, who are entitled to
vote at school meetings.
Sec. 25. Notice of the annual .school meeting should be given as }ire-
vided in section 26 for other school meetings.
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,
and not otherwise.

meetings at any time, upon a call of the Director, or any
five of such voters. Five days' notice shall be given of such
meeting by posting notices in five public places in the vicin-
ity; but no meeting shall be illegal for want of such notice,
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.

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
menceraent of any school, if a majority of such voters peti- on petu^n^of '^
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.

No person who indulges in such immoral practices as profanity, drunk-

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.

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.

examination is publicly announced and is held in a public hall or office.

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.

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

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.

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^ /

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.

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

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 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

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

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.

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.

Trustees can never have any difficulty in making their September reports of reve-

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.

Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The preceding Forms are made out in terms of the law; but it is expected that
persons using them will avail themselves of their privilege when preferred, to sub-
