In the location of an institution, before which there is the prospect of growth, the greatest care should be exercised. Two things of the greatest importance are proper drainage ami a pure and sufficient water supply, Upon them the health of all who may live at that institution depends. Too often it has happened i'u the past that institutions have been located with reference only to present needs and no thought given to the future. That was the case with a school for the ilea" we have in mind. It was located in a little town because a few acrejj of land and an old building were given to it. A small well wasample to furnish all the water needed. As time went on and the population of the state increased the school grew larger and larger. Thousands of dollars were expended by the State in the erection of buildings. The well was no longer capable of furnishing the supply of water. Other wells were dug but they proved inadequate. There was no water supply on which to draw, no stream near, and so the town fearful of losing its public institution dammed up a mud hole, caught the surface drainage, laid pipes to the school, and called it a water supply. Just at present even the mud hole has failed. That State should do one of two things, either bring a sufficient supply of water from the nearest stream, about 15 miles distant or abandon its present plant and locate elsewhere. Either will be very expensive but preferable to endangering the lives of the children obliged to attend that school or forfeit an educaton. We are fortunate as to our water supply having an abundance of the purest article, clear as crystal and fro hi a never failing source. Of our drainage we cannot speak so highly. We wish it were better. The sewer which is now being built will remedy that greatly, however. We always like to see emblems, and almost every banmr has one of some sort, vet we find a ltumti a X.
