county board of health. As one of the principal works
the State Board laid out for itself was the improvement
of the condition of jails and poor-houses, some of which
were a disgrace to Christian civilization, it is with a feel-ing
of much satisfaction that we call especial attention
to the following table, which gives the condition of these
institutions at the time of the first report of the Superin-tendent,
the condition at the time of the report sent in in
April, and the improvements instituted during the interval.
A general review of this table shows that in these coun-ties
there have been built twelve new jails, most of them
being furnished with all the modern improvements, and the
material, in most cases, being brick; also ten new poor-houses
and five hospitals at poor-houses for the sick or insane.
Twenty-six counties have had repairs and additions made
at jail and poor-house, while nearly all report greater
attention to cleanliness and sanitation generally.
