The new legulaliens, lu rt'g.nd te theae

All these original bills te whlcli thu num

previous te the dale of approval mid oath,

This Is the case throughout . and I cannot

Again, I am licenses! of equal neglect In
accepting clothing lus'eiinls ler tliu hcIioeI
jear ending May, .11, '8.1, which contain bills
dated in the previous jear, under thu Intima
tion, 1 suppose, that said bills must haie been
counted twice. This Is the language : "Hills
amounting te f 2,s9. pi ler clelhlni; bought in
ethor years haie Ihsjii imj luperli chargetl
ngaiiist the jear IVm."
With only two vceptlens Iho-e bills were
for the piircha'-e of goods near the oleso of the
school ye.11 ending May l, ISM, but net dis
tributed until alter June 1, the owning el the
new Hchoel jear, and, therefere, worepro erlj
(net "Improper! j-," as jeu nee lit te cliarge)
included lu the school jear 1nv, mid wero se
sworn te by the managers. 'I he two excep
tions refer te two bills of January e, ISM,
whero there was clearly n clerical orrei in the
jear date, net making it Ivj. 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

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

clothes and mending boobs. 1 here insert

extent et mj' misdoings in this direction may

have better means of determining this than
jeu can possibly have l.eug exjiorlenco lu
school work and school oxaiiiiiiatieui! la re re re
qiiliedlodetermlne a matter el this kind.
One 1 Islt w Ith tnerely the gathered testimony
of the children, oreiou of the loacliera, is
qulte inadc(iiate bore, 1 am convinced thai
the ;iiistriictlen el the children, iu all the
Hchyels, Is ery far from being audi as you
haie HOCti Jll le characterle It. 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.

In conclusion, 1 leel compelled tesaj Hint
your kindness 111 appointing me te thisethce
