MILWAUKEE SCHOOL.
L. D. HARVEY, PH. D. PRESIDENT.
The state normal school located in Milwaukee, was authorized by an act of the legislature passed in 1880. Grounds and building at an expense of fifty-three thousand dollars were presented to the board June 4th, the school was formally opened the 14th day of Septem- ber, 1885. The course of study was fixed for two years duration, corresponding with the last two years of the full course in other normal schools, except that the professional work must equal that provided in the four years courses at other schools.
There is no preparatory department connected with the school, nor can persons obtain what is called the elementary training of other normal schools.

OSHKOSH SCHOOL.
GEORGE S. ALBEE, A. M., PRESIDENT.
This school, established as third in the state system of normal instruction, was formally dedicated to its work, and classes organized in September, 1871.
The school building is built with careful regard for comfort and convenience. Whatever could be done to gratify and cultivate taste has been observed in the decorations of the rooms, and the adornment of the grounds.
Oshkosh is made conveniently accessible by many lines of railroad and river steamers that intersect at or near the city. The counties containing three-fourths of the population of the state are within six hours' ride. The healthful and invigorating climate enables the student to endure severe study with comparative ease. The school system of the city and the extensive and varied manufactures, afford ample opportunity for practicable obser- vation of students.

Platteville is a city of 3,687 inhabitants, pleasantly situated on the rolling ground be- tween the Platte an I Sinsinawa Mounds, in the midst of a fine agricultural region. The lo_ cation is eminently healthful, the community is deeply interested in the success and pros- perity of the school. Students will find few temptations to idleness or dissipation, but will meet with encouragement to faithful work and upright conduct.
Platteville is the terminus of a branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, connecting with the Illinois Central railroad at Warren. It is reached from the north and south by the Chicago & Northwestern railway, and has connection with points on the Chi- cago, Burlington & Northern railroad. Stages run daily to interior towns.

The State Board of Control, of Wisconsin Reformatory, Charitable and Penal Institu- tions was established by Chapter 221, Laws of 1891. The Board consists of six members, who are appointed by the Governor, subject to the approval of the Senate, for a term of five years. They are required to devote their entire time to their official duties. Each re- ceives a salary of two thousand dollars per annum, and is repaid his actual disbursements made in the discharge of his duties. A Secretary is employed at a salary not exceeding two thousand dollars per annum. All salaries and expenses of the Board and Secretary are paid from the appropriations made by the legislature for the support of the state institu- tions, and are added to and reported as a part of the current expense of their maintenance.
The law under which the Board of Control was organized abolished the State Board of Supervision and the State Board of Charities and Reform, and confers and imposes upon the Board of Control all the powers and duties attaching to said former boards.

» The Wisconsin State Hospital for the Insane, located at Mendota near Madison, was opened for patients in July, 1860. Two years later, one longitudinal and one transverse wing on the west side were completed, since which time other additions have been made. The entire length of the hospital building is 569 feet, the center building being 65x120 feet. The first longitudinal wing on each side of the center is 132 feet, and the last on each ex- tremity is 119 feet. The transverse wings are 87 feet long. This commodious building is surrounded by ornamental grounds, woods and farming lands, to the extent of 497 acres and is well adapted for the care of the unfortunates needing its protection. The hospital will now accommodate comfortably 520 patients.
J. Edwards Lee, M. D., was the first medical superintendent, having been elected by the first board of trustees on the 22d of June, 1859, and the furniture and furnishing of the center building and first wing, and arrangements for the reception of patients, were con- ducted under his supervision.
The second board of trustees was organized April 10, 1860, and on the 22d of May following appointed John P. Clement, M. D., to supersede Dr. Lee as superintendent, and in June, 1860, Mrs. Mary C. Halliday was appointed matron. The first patient was admitted July 14, 1860.
