| − | #The purchase of the forty acres adjoining the institution. (From the director:) I suggest the purchase of more land, the forty acres we now own is not enough to produce sufficient feed for the stock and vegetables for the school. With more land we could keep our own cows, thus supplying the inmates with milk, also raise our hay and feed, which we now have to buy. There is a farm joining us on the south, consisting of about eighty acres, which is for sale. This is a very desirable farm and would enable us to more thoroughly teach our boys practical agriculture and horticulture. | + | #The purchase of the forty acres adjoining the institution.
