PART VI. STATE INSTITUTIONS.
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
Wisconsin, though one of the younger states, already ranks among the foremost in its public institutions. Both in its educational advantages and in its reformatory and char- ita ble institutions it is surpassed by few of the states of the Union.
For its educational advantages it is largely indebted to the munificence of Congress in donating lands for the support of public schools, a state university, normal schools and an agricultural college. There are now in successful operation in this State, a University, comprising several colleges, and five normal schools. The general government, when the State was first organized, bestowed, and has since added, large tracts of land to it for edu- cational purposes. This liberality has enabled Wisconsin to adopt a system of district, graded and high schools, normal schools and university which has placed the state in the front rank in the matter of education. Besides this, over $653,000 are raised by tax yearly for the support of schools of a public nature. The legislature has supplemented this wise liberality of the general government by more or less generous appropriations, until there are now over 6,000 common school districts and 150 free high schools in the State, the num- ber of school houses being over 6,000. There are 12,000 teachers employed. It is certainly not an exaggeration to say that the public schools of Wisconsin are, as a whole, in most excellent condition. Much good has resulted in the past from the enlightened views of our legislators as to education in general, and the common schools in particular. Besides, the people themselves are thoroughly imbued with the idea that popular education is the great safeguard of our liberties and the chief corner-stone of our advanced civilization.
Toward its unfortunate and criminal classes the State has pursued an even more liberal policy. By direct appropriations from the treasury, the people of Wisconsin have con- tributed for the upbuilding and support of penal and charitable institutions, the following sums: For the State Prison, $1,153,655.49; for the Industrial School for Boys, $1,348,903.79; for the Industrial School for Girls, $67,000; for the Institute for the Blind, $920,840.78; for the Deaf and Dumb, $1,184,692.47; for the State Hospital for the Insane, $3.014,568.02; for the Northern Hospital, $2,530,365.35; for the State Public School, $237,369.28; for the Sol- diers' Orphans' Home, $367,256.47-making a total of $10, 57,651.65.
In addition to these sums, the State Hospital for the Insane, the Northern Hospital for the Insane, and the Industrial School for Boys receive a sum annually from the counties for the support in part of inmates sent from the counties; for the past two years, these re- ceipts were as follows:
State Hospital for the Insane: 1891, $40,162.92; 1892, $12,488. Total. $82,651.44.
Northern Hospital: 1891, $48,050.80; 1892, $49,157.59. Total, $97,218.39.
Industrial School for Boys: 1891, $10,409.33; 1892, $8,534.81. Total, $18,944.14.

THE STATE CAPITOL.
The site of the present State Capitol was selected by the Hon. James D. Doty, October 27, 1836, and in December of the same year the territorial legislature, in session at Belmont, passed an act to establish the Capital at Madison. Messrs. James D. Doty, A. A. Bird and John F. O'Neill were appointed by the general government commissioners for constructing the capitol, and work was commenced on the building in the month of June following, under the direction of Mr. Bird. On the 4th of July, 1837, the corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The legislature met for the first time in Madison, November 26, 1838. The capitol building was not then in a suitable condition for the sessions of that body, so it assembled in the basement of the old American House, where Governor Dodge delivered his annual message. Here the Legislature met and adjourned from day to day, until temporary arrangements could be made for the reception of members in the Assembly Hall. During 1836 and 1837, the national government appropriated $40,000 for the capitol building, Dane county, $4,000, and the territorial legislature about $16,000; making the com- plete cost of the old capitol $60,000. The building, when finished, was a substantial struc- ture, which, in architectural design and convenience of arrangement, compared favorably with capitols of adjacent and older states.
The warranty deed of the capitol square was given to the Territory, in consideration of $1.00 received, and the benefits and advantages to be derived from the location, by Stevens T. Mason, Julia G. Mason and Kintzing Prichett, of Detroit, and through their attorney, Moses M. Strong. It is dated Mineral Point, 16th January, 1839; and the square is described as sections 13, 14, 23 and 24, in township 7, range 9 east. This interesting document is now on file in the office of the State Treasurer.
On the admission of Wisconsin into the Union as a state, in 1848, the constitutional con- vention then permanently located the capital at Madison. The capitol building proving inadequate to the growing wants of the State, the legislature of 1857 provided for its en- largement. By this act, the commissioners of school and university lands were directed to sell the ten sections of land appropriated by congress "for the completion of public build- ings," and apply the proceeds toward enlarging and improving the state capitol. The state also appropriated $30,000 for the same object, and $50,000 was given by the city of Madison. The Governor and Secretary of State were made commissioners for conducting the work, which was begun in the fall of 1857, and continued from year to year until 1869, when the dome was completed.
