Indeed, the ev Idence of this clerical error was soceuv lnc ing that the inspector could net mistake IU In 110 case cm there be found a single bill entering into anj 1 letlilug account twice. 11 would lequlre 11 Hj'steiuet isjrjurj impossible te be earned en without prompt detection. t JJJlKl l.l'TJ i HIM s. Auetliei charge is made of admitting 111110 111110 celpted bills. All these bills, with two ex ceptions, me the running accounts nt llie sthoel ler mending boob, etc., and making aitlcleael clothing, all done by the school Itself, aud examined 011 the spot Icy this in spector te see il the legular rates are allow oil were followed, anil the work actuallj- done. Manj- el llie schools, indeed the larger pirt el them, havolellowed tlie pracllce suggesleil te spciiioalerm.it leielpt bj-charging the amount te lhesupcriiilendeiil.mil receipting, lu i low of the regulai qu.uleil.y payments bv thu statu. The two exceptions iclerred te are 0110 bill of the I'nlonlevvn school and ene of Mans Held. The goods wire 011 liatld and distri buted,. mil leund te be he bj-the lnss)cter, and sworn te bj- the managers, and no claim en this account could pessiblj- be brought against the state, ilie receipt, howevor, have been secured. Again, I am made responsible ler the fact that bills amounting te M 1,017. iToutef a total el $17,71111.71, haie net lieen approved hy the inspectors, Ul el these bills, looting up these amounts, have been approved in the general Hiiuiuurj-, rreui tlie aiiini 01 1110 suveiai sep arate bills, and sworn te. I required, lu the new arrangement, that, when tlie soiariite original bills were examined and checked oil, eaih individual bill should also be ap proved by signature, as well as tlie general Hummar.i. The inspectors, Inasmuch as il was tlie ilrst J'ear el the new practice, did net ler a while understand this. Indeed, il Is almost an unuecessarj' caution, net usual in auditing accounts ; but I desired it te be done out et extreme caution only. Anj' ene can seu that this ch irge et carelessness is trivial and hardly worth notice. 1011 lurliiur uiake 1 harge iimi.iiaieung expenses lu the purcha-e of goods have been allowed nml nppieied by the Inspec tors. This has been dene enlj' iu ene case .1 bill el ? 10 ler two trips te Philadelphia ler the purchase el 1 letlilug by Mr. Moere, el Whlte Mall sihoel. I told the inspectors net te include any bills ut this kind, and enlj' this Hitmle bill of ten dollars has crept In, contrary te inj- directions. Space forbids following tills matter further. The accounts, with all the original bills, nml oaths, mid appievals, are open te the Ireesl iusKx.'tteii el nil, and with a little ex planation liem euu familiar with llie soldiers' orphan hcIioeI account-, they will be leund te he remarkably curiect. Anether cliarge Is 111 ule against 1110 en thu score el having changed thu rales ler making clothes and mending boobs. 1 here insert the old anil new rates, nldu liy side, that the extent et mj' misdoings in this direction may lie seen, staling belurehaml thai the change was placed belere jeu in the iejkhI befere il went into lercu In the schools.

Your own oxperlenco would seem te show that a single visit Is net atitlicleut, for at llie tlme you visited the Whlte Unit ami Mount Jey soldlers' orphan schools lu 1S6.1-I, all their Bocemmodatlons and nrrangetnentii were precisely ns new. Yeu made no com plaint then, but expressed your personal satisfaction with, mid your approval of, the Mount Jey m hoel, which was commu nicated In n letter liem the department in the principal of said school. In visiting Mercer, howevor, you inade leuiplalul In regard te dormitory ceilings and bedsteads. I nl ence hail Hip ceilings renewed ami new bedsteads purchased. These are the enlj schools w e visited together, and these vlsls were inade piovleus te my reappoint reappeint reappoint meiil. l'er the sanitary condition of llie schools 1 have depended, le a great extent, upon the phyHiciaus lu charge, anil the rojierted cases el sickness nml death suul te the ollite every quarter. 1 have lint found, either from their roperls or Irem ernenal observation, such a condition as you picture. Cases of itch are llable In occur In almost any school, anil the feet of children maj sometimes he fnucn (luring exposure iu play hours, when the w inter Is Revere, as is the occasional ex ex perlenee iu well regulated families. llli: IJt'bSTlO.N Of llf.SI'O.NMIUI.IIl. I nm unwilling te take llie whele respousi respeusi bllitj' of these schools as regards their ac commodations mid iidapbitieu te the work required, or of the indiiidiial cases of uoglect which may be found. 1 had te take the buildings as I leund them ami ellen liad le place mero children in ihein than I wished. J never admired the Hjstoiuel tanning the children out, and net or regarded llie build lugs such 11s a great Hlale should have. 1 urged upon you that all ellerts should be made te secure, If possible, the Marine hospi tal at Krie, and consolidate therein the West ern schools. Atj'eur request 1 visited the building and rei-irted that with an outlay of ?7&,00d,lt tnlgli tlx) made HUlllcient for the pur pur jsise, together with thoaddltien efa system of lull Industrial training, he much needed. This It'll through ; net, however, bocause I did net ttrge It. When Ilrst visiting the ehoels,I was shocked, I may say, that thej' should becalled slate hcIioeIh. Hut when I read their history, and learned theilitlk'Ulti"sef the w lioleoxt'r lieleoxt'r lioleext'r liucnt, Including thu lemimrarj- and exceed ingly uncertain character of the apprepn itien for their support, I ls.c.11110 satislied that no chauge could iessibIj- be made w Itheut liuavy outlay te secure such buildings a-s could le approved. Mj reports el the schools have It'eii made Iu relation te my comparison et them with thu condition 111 which 1 found thorn. I agree in opinion with the Inspec ters and my predecessor hi eluce that thoe Hciioeis iiav e been improving, j car bj j'ear, and that their general condition is te'-ilay its geed as ever bofero. 1 feel that j'eur uiothetl of Iniesllgatieu has net been such as te de tliein justii e, but lather an injury, and in deed, that 11 patriotic ch.ulty, of which Pennsylvania haw long been justly proud, has been di-grated before the peo ple of this commonwealth, ami that 11 Hllgma, which Pi all probability wllluuier tie removed, has been most iinjustlj' put iijkjii II lu thu eyes et the nation at large. II, however, there have been fraud, and Ill-gotten gains, 1 hope anil pr.iy that the culprits mny be brought belore a court of Justice and condemned. If j-eu have evi dence enough te accomplish this, j-eu will have net only my approval, but heartiest co operation ; but 1 de net injself plead gulltj' el neglect, and de net think I am jiihIIj jiihIIj chargeable with the individual cases et un clean sheets ami old shoes, and an unteiided broken arm, inula case of itch, where the physicians themselves cannot ngree, etc, 1 rpgrel that there should be any such cases ; but it is net alwavH sale te make individual caseH representative of all, or te take the un guarded testimony of ilmsalisticd children and dismissed ompIeje. 1 enlj- hope thai the new inspectors, whom j'eu may appoint, will be mure laithlul even limn llio-e j'eu have HONiimmarily dismissed. 1 am" glad te learn that 1. en.
