A small farm near the county seat is, therefore, preferable to a large one sev- eral miles in the country. Probably the proper size of farm for an average Missouri almshouse would be about fifty acres, though, of course, the size should vary ac- cording to the number of inmates and other circum- stances. In any case it should be large enough to fur- nish labor for all able-bodied inmates and to supply the acreage needed for gardening and grounds. Management. The most striking, and at the same t...ime the most regrettable, feature of almshouse manage- ment in Missouri is that most of the almshouses are managed by what may be called the " lease system. " That is, the management of the almshouse is let out to the lowest bidder, or, as it is usually reported, "to the lowest and best bidder. ' ' If the county court, which in Missouri is the legal board of managers of all county institutions, does not openly advertise for bids, it never- theless usually lets out the care of the almshouse and its inmates at so much per inmate per week.
