IS Document No. 1. [Session
•ciation with hardened criminals, thus, in the majority
of instances, dooming them to additional lessons in degra-dation
and thereafter a life of crime. Something to stay
this current of evil, loss of honest and industrious citizen -
ship, and recruiting of the ranks of the enemies of society
from the rising generation, is urgently needed. About
forty such reform schools and reformatories have been
established in the various States, except among our imme-diate
neighbors of the Southern Atlantic States. Their
statistics show the reformation and restoration to society
of three-fourths to four-fifths of those committed to their
care, and such institutions are constantly gaining in pop-ular
appreciation in England and America. I invoke your
earnest consideration of the views of the Board of Char-ities,
a committee of which body, in co-operation witli
those of various influential Christian, benevolent and
• itional bodies, will memorialize you upon this subject.
:; NORTH CAROLINA [NSANE ASYLUM AT RALEIGH.
In calling your attention to the wants of tins venerable
Institution, I congratulate the State on its present aide
and satisfactory management in the interest of suffering
humanity.
By law this Institution, with its limited capacity of
only 204 rooms of 10x10 feet dimensions, is the sole
receptacle of the insane from all the counties east of Per-son,
Durham, Chatham, Moore and Richmond—the east-ern
boundaries of these counties being the dividing line
between this Asylum and the State Hospital for the
Insane at Morganton.
The report of the Board of Directors, and the compre-
Lsive and exhaustive report of tha. Superintendent, Dr.
William R. Wood, made to that body, fully explaining
urgent necessity existing for Infirmary and Hospital
accommodations, with other important improvements
