REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.

To the Senate:

The Committee on Education, to whom was referred a bill entitled "An Act to incorporate the Whitingham Academy," and a bill entitled "An Act establishing an Academy in Corinth," respectfully

REPORT:

That during the last two years, applications have been made to the Legislature for acts to incorporate literary institutions. Your committee, however, believe that the provisions of Chapter 81 of the Revised Statutes are amply sufficient to give to such institutions all the powers and privileges necessary to enable them to act efficiently in promoting the cause of education. Your committee learn that one reason why individuals, wishing to establish such institutions, apply to the Legislature for a special act of incorporation, instead of associating agreeably to the provisions of the general law, is, an apprehension, in case the State should hereafter see fit to bestow pecuniary aid upon our literary institutions, that those incorporated under the general law would not be viewed with the same favor and consideration as those incorporated by special act. But your committee see no good foundation for such a suspicion. They believe that the leading object in framing the general law was, to place such institutions, in all respects, on equal and common ground with those specially incorporated, and thus obviate the necessity of passing special acts for this purpose. Besides, so obvious would be the injustice of making a distinction between such institutions in regard to their claim upon the patronage and favor of the State, that your committee cannot believe that any Legislature would ever attempt to set up such distinction.

Your committee, therefore, believing that literary institutions established under the general law enjoy all the powers and privileges to which a special act of incorporation would entitle them, are unanimous in the opinion that it is unnecessary to pass the bills referred to them as above specified.

H. EATON, for Committee.
