Chapter 377, laws of 1885, made it the duty of the Board of Supervision, by and with the consent of the Governor, to select a suitable site and erect thereon buildings for a State school or temporary home for dependent and neglected children - such institution to be known as the " State Public School." Soon after the enactment of this law, the Board ad- vertised for proposals for furnishing a site for this institution, and received responses from Stevens Point, Waupaca, Green Bay, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Ripon, New Lisbon, Sparta, and La Crosse. Subsequently the Board visited all these places, inspected the sites proposed and canvassed the advantages of each locality. and, finally, with the ap- proval of the Governor, selected Sparta as the locality for the school, accepting an offer of a tract of land embracing 164.8 acres as the site. This land lies in one regulir body on the northeast of the city, being partly within its limits, having the La Crosse river for its eastern boundary, and one of the city streets as its western line. The location is in all re- spects a healthful one, possesses many attractions in itself, and commands a view of one of the finest landscapes in the state.
During the year 1886, three cottages were erected and equipped in accordance with the provisions of the law, two of them 'of solid brick, two stories and an attic in height, .with stone basement and capable of accommodating one hundred pupils. The third cottage, a frame structure, veneered with brick, two stories and an attic above a stone basement, was devoted at first to the uses of the superintendent and his family, but subsequently to the accommodation of the young children, of whom it affords room for thirty.
.
The institution was opened for the reception of pupils on the 13th of November, 1856, with Robert T. Roberts as superintendent. It soon became apparent, from the rapidity with which commitments were made, that more room must be provided before the full benefits of the institution could be realized. Accordingly the legislature of 1587 made provisions for the erection of a central buikling, two cottages and such other structures as it should deem necessary. The Board of Supervision, during that year, had erected the buildings named, and in addition thereto a boiler and engine house and laundry and a barn. The central building is of brick, three stories in height upon a stone basement, and fura- Ishes room for the superintendent and his family and employes, a general kitchen and large dining room, an assembly room and offices. The cottages are of brick, two stories and an attic in height, with a stone basement, and furnish accommodations for sixty pupiis each. There is also a school room in each of the five cottages, which is provided with the appl- ances necessary for approved primary instruction.
The primary object of the institution is to furnish a temporary home for dependent and neglected children until suitable homes can be found for them in good families. While they remain in the institution they are instructed in the elementary branches of an English education.

From the establishment of the institution up to September 30th, 1838, there had been expended for site, permanent improvements and equipments the sum of $35,000, and for current expenses $47,369.28.
The whole number of puplis admitted up to September 30th, 1888, was 301; the average number in the school for the fiscal year ending September 30th, 1857, was 67, and for the fiscal year ending with September last, the average number was 116. At the last named date 102 children had been placed in homes, of whom $3 were indentured and the remain- ing 19 were on trial.

The Wisconsin Industrial School for Girls is located in Milwaukee, on Lake Avenue, in that part of the city known as North Point. It is capable of accommodating 160 inmates. Its proper subjects are:
1. Viciously inclined girls under 15, and boy's under 10 years of age.
2. The stubborn and unruly, who refuse to obey their proper guardians.
& Truants, vagrants and beggars.
4. Those found in circumstances of manifest danger of falling into habits of rice and Immorality.
5. Those under the above ages who have committed any offense punishable by fine or Imprisonment in adult offenders.
Although the school was founded by private charity, and Is under the control of a self- perpetuating board of managers, it Is incorporated and employed by the State for the cus- tody, guardianship, discipline and instruction of the aforenamed children. In default of responsible and efficient guardianship they are treated as minors and wants of the State, and by It they are committed to the guardianship of this board of ladies during mluority.

The present statute provides that for each girl so committed, the county from which such commitment is made shall pay not more than two dollars and fifty cents per week.
It is designed to be in no sense a penal institution, but it is a reformatory for the older, a temporary place of detention and instruction for the younger. Its objects are detention and reformation.
The school was organized under the act of 1875, and has received from the Legislature, in 1878, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1885 and 1887, sums amounting to $60,000 for buildings, improvements, stock and furnishings. The city of Milwaukee has also given for its use a tract of over eight acres of land, the State holding the title to this property.
The buildings, as completed by the successive appropriations, afford in all the requisites for distinct family life, three separate dwellings, designated as the Main Home, the Chil- dren's Home and the Cottage, and include a kindergarten room, two infirmaries, a laundry and three large school-rooms. The Children's Home takes boys and girls under eleven years of age; the Main Home, the girls from eleven upwards, dividing them into four dis- tinct classes, according to age and morals, with fair facilities for suitable separation and instruction; and the Cottage is an additional and entirely separate building for proper re- straint and influence over the older and more depraved.
On leaving the school, children are either returned to former homes or relatives, or given by adoption or indenture to the care of well-recommended families. Boys are trans- ferred to the State Industrial School for Boys, if unfit for homes in families, when of un- suitable age to remain longer in the school.

The building of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, located near Milwau- kee, December 7, 1866, is called the Northwestern branch of that National Institution. The Central Home is located at Dayton, Ohio. Other branches are located at Augusta, Maine, Hampton, Virginia, and Leavenworth, Kansas. The whole are under the same board of managers.
THE NORTHWESTERN BRANCH
is beautifully situated, three miles from the city of Milwaukee. It is a capacious brick building, containing accommodations for 1,000 inmates. In addition to this building which contains the main halls, eating apartment, offces, dormitory and engine room, are shops, granaries, stables and other out-buildings. The Home farm contains 410 acres, of which over one-half is cultivated. The remainder is a wooded park, traversed by shaded walks and drives, beautifully undulating. The main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad runs through the farm, and the track of the northern division passes beside it.
WHO ARE ADMITTED AND HOW.
Soldiers who were disabled in the service of the United States in the war of the rebellion, the Mexican war, or the war of 1812, and have been honorably discharged, are entitled to admission to the Soldiers' Home.
Admission is procured on a certificate, of which blank forms are furnished to every applicant, setting forth his enlistment, with date, rank, place of muster, and the company, regiment or other organization to which he belonged, and the date and cause of discharge; and whether he is receiving a pension. His identity is set forth in the same certificate, and & surgeon's statement of his disability and its nature.
These certificates in blank, with full directions for filling them out, may be procured by applying therefor, either in person, or hy mail, to Gen. Jacob Sharpe, Milwaukee, the gor- ernor of the National Home for Disabled Soldiers.
Disabled soldiers, or their friends, county, city and town authorities, police officers, guardians of the poor and almshouses, trustees of benevolent institutions and public or private hospitals throughout the country, having knowledge of disabled soldiers, or such persons in their charge, are cordially invited to address the governor of the home, by whoin the necessary blanks and instructions will be sent by return mail. On the applica- tion and certificate thus made out, an order for the admission of the disabled sollier is indorsed, and an order for free transportation by railroad to the home is furnished.

STATE INSTITUTIONS.
LABOR, INSTRUCTION AND AMUSEMENT.
Such inmates as are able to do so, have the opportunity to practice various mechanical trades, or to work on the home farm, for which they are paid a compensation of from $5 to $15 a month, averaging, all around, about 40 cents per day. Skilled laborers earn more than these wages. The trades practiced are boot and shoe making, carpenter and joiner work, tinsmithing, plastering and stone masonry, gas-fitting, printing, book-binding and harness-making. Farming is largely carried on, and some of the finest products exhibited at the state fairs have been from the fields and gardens cultivated by the soldiers. All the labor of the institution, including care of the building, repairs which are found necessary, and farming operations is done by the inmates.
The institution has an excellent library of over 4,500 volumes contributed by friends of the soldiers in various parts of the country. The reading room contains newspapers and magazines, all of which are in constant use and requisition by the inmates.
This institution is not a public charity, and the disabled soldiers of the country should understand it. They do not place themselves in the list of paupers by becoming inmates of the home.
