The annual session commences on the third Wednesday of September, and continues till the second Wednesdey in June. The proper time for admitting pupils is at the opening of the session; and punctuality is so important that none will be received, except in extraordinary cases, who do not come at or about that time. 3. Pupils from Illinois are admitted to all the privileges of the institution free of charge; being provided with board, washing, fuel, lights, tuition, books, and everything necessary, except clothing and traveling expenses, 4. Each pupil should come provided with sufficient clothing to last one year, or with the money to procure it. He should also have a trunk with a good lock and key, and large enough to contain all his clothing-each article of which should be distinctly marked with his name. 5. In addition to the above outfit, a small sum of money should be deposited with the Principal, to meet incidental expenses-repairs of shoes, postage, etc.— any part of which remaining on hand at the close of the session, shall be returned, 6. Except in cases of sickness, all the pupils are expected to remain at the institution from the commencement till the close of each session, at which time parents or friends should be prepared to take them home to spend the vacation. 7. All applications from a distance, letters of inquiry, etc., should be addressed to Philip G. Gillett, LL.D., Principal, Jacksonville, Ill, In Relation to Indigent Pupils, see Sec. 27 of Act, etc., under Institution for Feeble Minded Children. ILLINOIS INSTITUTION FOR THE EDUCATION OF FEEBLE MINDED CHILDREN—at Lincoln. Organized February 16th, 1865. New buildings completed last year at a cost of $225,000. Average number of inmates, 100. Capacity, 600. The first action in relation to the establishment of this institution was taken by the State Medical Society at the annual meeting in Bloomington, June 5th, 855. OFFICERS.-Trustees: C. R. Cummings, Pekin; J. C. Warnock, Havana; E. Callahan, Robinson, Superintendent, C. T. Wilbur, M. D. The design and object of this institution are not of a custodial character, but to furnish the means of education to that portion of the youth of the State not provided for in any of its other educational institutions, who are of a proper schoolattending age, and who shall remain such periods of time as shall, in the estimation of the Superintendent and Board of Trustees, suffice to impart all the education practicable in each particular case, and in conformity with regulations hereinafter specified. Children between the ages of ten and eighteen, who are idiotic, or so deficient in intelligence as to be incapable of being educated at any ordinary school, and who are not epileptic, insane, or greatly deformed, may be admitted by the Superintendent. Pupils from Illinois are supported free of charge. Board, tuition and washing are furnished gratuitously by the State. The parents or guardians of those in whose behalf applications are made for admission as pupils, will be required to answer, in writing, such questions as the Superintendent may prescribe. All pupils will be received upon trial, and will be expected to come to the institution provided with a supply of neat and substantial clothing. A bond will be required, in all cases (except pauper pupils), with securities, accompanied by a certificate of the County Clerk that the sureties are responsible, to insure the removal of the pupil when required by the Superintendent, free of expense to the institution, its officers or agents, and the provision of comfortable and suitable clothing or pay for such as may be furnished the pupil during its continuance in the school. "In all cases where persons sent to the Institution for the Blind, the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, or the Institution for Feeble Minded Children, are too poor to furnish themselves with sufficient clothing and pay the expenses of transportation to and from the institution, the Judge of the County Court of the county where any such person resides, upon the application of any relative or friend of such person, or of any officer of his town or county (ten days of which application shall be given to the County Clerk), may, if he shall deem such person a proper subject for the care of either of said institutions, make an order to that effect, which shall be certified by the Clerk of the Court, to the Principal or Superintendent of such institution, who shall provide the necessary clothing and transportation at the expense of the county, and upon his rendering his proper accounts therefor, semi-annually, the County Board shall allow and pay the same out of the county treasury." (Sec. 27 of " An Act to regulate the State Charitable Institutions," etc., approved April 15, 1875.) Pauper pupils must have a certificate from the County Clerk, that the County Judge has issued an order, that the county from which they are sent will be responsible for clothing, incidental] and traveling expenses, incurred on account of said pupils. Printed blanks of the bond and of the certificate for pauper pupils can be had by applying to the Superintendent of the institution, free of charge. The education furnished by the institution will include not only the simpler elements of instruction usually taught in common schools, where that is practicable, but will embrace a course of training in the more practical matters of every day life, the cultivation of habits of decency, propriety, self-reliance, and the development and enlargement of a capacity for useful occupation. There will be a vacation during the months of July and August, at which period all pupils must be removed from the institution by their parents or guardians, if required by the superintendent. The combination which this institution presents, of practical medical experience and proper physical training, with efficient educational resources, will supply, it is hoped, a want which has long been felt by the parents of children of this unfortunate class in the State. The institution is open to the inspection of the public at all reasonable hours; and all are not only cordially invited, but are earnestly requested to visit the school. It is the desire of the trustees to ascertain accurately the number of this class of children in the State, and persons knowing the residence of feeble minded children in Illinois, will confer a favor by writing to that effect to the Superintendent, as it is desirable that reliable statistics may be gathered, in order that proper legislation may be made in behalf of this unfortunate class of children in the State. Application for admission, information, etc., should be addressed to the Super intendent.
