UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND BRANCHES, PRIMARY SCHOOLS, &c.
By an Act of Congress, approved May 20, 1826, two town- ships of land, equal to 46,080 acres, were granted to Michi,
APPENDIX. 101
gan, for the endowment of a University. The legislature caused these lands to be judiciously selected, in different parts of the state, agreeably to the terms of the grant, in quantities not less than one section in one body. These lands were first offered for sale in July, 1837, at a minimum price of $20 per acre; this minimum has been reduced to $12 per acre. The sales to the 30th November, 1844, have been 14,883 60-100 acres, amounting to $174,307 25. By a provision of the constitution of Michigan, this principal shall be and forever remain a permanent fund, the interest thereon to be applied for the support of the University and its branches.
By an organic law of the legislature, the government of the University, and Branches, is intrusted to twelve Regents, who are appointed by the Governor, with the advice and con- sent of the Senate, and said board of Regents are declared a body corporate. The Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Judges of the Supreme Court and Chancellor, are also, ex-officio, members of the board of Regents, but are not mem- bers of said corporation. Several Branches of the University have been located, from time to time, in different counties, and appropriations made in aid of their support. From the last annual report of the Regents, there appears to have been, on the 30th November, 1844, 298 pupils under instruction, 111 of whom are classical, preparing for admission to the University.
University buildings have been erected, upon the site, at Ann Arbor, designated by an act of the legislature, at a cost of about $50,000, additional buildings are contemplated, as soon as the finances of the board will warrant the expendi- ture.
Five professors have been appointed, three of whom, with a professor, ad interim, of Geology, Chemistry, &c., and a tutor in the department of the languages, &c., are now in attendance, engaged in their appropriate duties, and have a specific salary. There are, by the report above mentioned, 52 students in the University, arranged in four classes.
As the University was not organized until September, 1841, the first class will graduate in September, 1845, after which ·a class will, graduate annually.
The number of students, in the University, has uniformly increased, from year to year, and (as far as the finances, arising from the interest, will admit) further aid will be ex- tended to other branches, which have not been organised, or

APPENDIX.
to those, which, although heretofore organized, appropriations have been necessarily suspended.
The course of studies in the University is thorough, and in- tended to afford opportunity for a most liberal education.
No tuition money is charged, beyond an entrance fee of $10, for instruction in the University, the liberal appropria- tion by Congress, being deemed a fund, the interest of which, will defray all expenses, incident to this department of in- struction.
The flattering condition of this institution, as well as the excellent regulations, enacted relative to our Common School system, affords cause for congratulation to the citizens of our growing commonwealth. And while we boast of the unsur- passed beauty, and fertility of our soil, and natural produc- tions, it will, also, be perceived, that the freemen of Michigan are not insensible to the greater, and more excellent advanta- ges, resulting from the cultivation of the mind.
DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
In the beginning of the year 1842, an Act passed the legis- lature of Michigan, forming the city of Detroit into one school district, and providing for the election of twelve school Inspector», who, together with the Mayor, and Recorder, of said city, (the two latter being declared to be ex-officio school inspectors) were constituted a body corporate, by the name and style of "The Board of Education of the City of De- troit."
The act of the legislature authorizes the Common Council, once in each year, to assess and levy a tax, on all the real and personal property, within said city, not to exceed one dollar, for every child, between the ages of five and seventeen years, towards the support of said schools, to be public and free, to all children, residing within the limits of the city, between the ages of five and seventeen years, inclusive.
The Board have, at present, ten public schools, under their supervision, located in different parts of the city; which are kept open the whole year.
The greatest number of scholars registered, in; the books of the several teachers, in actual attendance, during any one quarter of 1844, was 1132.
The total number of children from four to eighteen, accord- ing to the school census of 1844, is 3821.
103
APPENDIX.
The amount received, from the State School Fund, in 1844, was $1253 70.
The amount of said tax for 1844, was $2578.

ST. VINCENT'S SEMINARY,
Corner of Larned and Randolph Streets.
Besides the Free Schools of the city, supported by law, there are nearly two hundred children instructed, daily, in the useful branches of education at the above Catholic Semi- nary, taught by the Sisters of Charity, not more than 20 or 30 of whom pay for their tuition.
In addition to the Public and Free Schools, there are a number of Select Schools established in different parts of the city, kept by teachers, whose qualifications are of a high order.
The Branch of the University in the city, has been sus- pended, it is believed, from a diminution of the revenue, ap- plicable to its support.
CENTRAL RAILROAD.
The above Railroad commenced operation, A. D. 1836, when called the Detroit and St. Joseph Railroad, and owned by that company, but in the year 1837, was transferred to the State of Michigan, since which time it has been known as the Central Railroad.
Its present western termination is at Marshall, distance from Detroit, 110 miles, and 36 miles more nearly ready for the iron. It is under the direction of the Board of Internal Improvement, of which O. C. Comstock, Jun., is President.

FIRE REGULATIONS FOR THE BETTER SECU- RITY OF BUILDINGS.
The following is a copy of the Fire Regulations, of the city of Detroit, for the better security of buildings, taken from the laws of the City Council, and published the beginning of the present winter, by the Chief Fire Warden.
Of the necessity of some such regulations as the following, in a city like Detroit, no one, who has witnessed the disas- trous effects of accidental fire, can for one moment doubt, and we would respectfully suggest to the occupant of every building in the city, the importance of a strict observance of these precautionary rules, a due regard to which, might, un- der Divine Providence, often prevent accidents by fire. It should also be remembered that neglect to attend to the reg- ulations of the city authorities, in regard to accidents by fire, involves a forfeiture of the amount of the policy of insurance, in case of loss by fire of the insured.
From the laws of the Common Council.
1. No ashes can be kept in a wooden vessel, within ten feet of any building, fence, or wooden structure ; nor in a metal or earthen vessel, unless it is covered.
2. Every stove pipe must be close jointed. It must enter a chimney of brick or stone, and, be made close where it en- ters. Where it passes through a partition of wood, it must
112
APPENDIX.
be through a crock of earthen or stone, or some non-conduc. tor of heat.
3. The floor under every stove must be covered by a board, faced with iron, zinc or tin, with a space under the stove of eight inches ; or by a box filled with brick, sand or clay, three inches thick from the floor. The stove must be free from dangerous cracks or openings, and properly fitted with doors. Wood within twelve inches of any stove or fire must be protected by a covering of metal or plastering, and no wood, protected by metal, must be nearer than eight inches.
4. The floor under stoves standing in shops where shav- ings or wood chippings are made, must be protected by a box filled with brick, sand or clay, five inches high from the floor, and for six inches outside the bottom of the stove.
5. All stove pipe holes, openings and cracks in chimneys, must be closed by a sheet of metal, or brick and mortar.
6. Blacksmith's chimneys must be constructed to prevent the escape of sparks, and the side of the building contiguous to the forge, for the space of six feet long and up to the roof, and on the inside of the roof over the forge for the space of fourteen feet square, must be plastered.
7. Wooden fire boards must be covered on the bottom of the inside with a strip of sheet iron, tin or zinc, at least six inches wide.
8. Every occupant of a tenement, whose premises are found on examination by a Fire Warden, one week after re: ceiving this Notice, not in conformity with the above requisi- tions, will be subjected to the fine and costs imposed by law.
The occupant is requested to preserve and refer to this notice.
