The Increase of Insaaity. 



25 



If supported in state institutions at anywhere near the 

 rates these institutions now cost, the charge to the public 

 will be at least $040,000 annually, besides $3,000,000 for build- 

 ings, a burden which the state will find it difficult to bear. 

 This whole question is one which is now pressing on us for 

 solution and which deserves the attention of every philan- 

 thropist and every statesman.
