To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reports were required from the larger concerns, but these documents are nearly unintelligible from an accounting stand- point and the information they contain is meagre in the extreme. 156> Of course, very little aid in making scientific appropriations could have been derived from these reports ; and the admission of one member of the General Assembly that, " we put them in our desks, and in the hurry of business (sic) we never look at them again, " 157 was probably typical of the attitude of a... majority of the legislature. An impartial observer would say that the reports received all the atten- tion they deserved. Sometimes the officers of the institutions appeared before the legislature to explain their needs. 158 There is little doubt that the total amount of the subventions and the distribution in any year were largely determined in committee according to the well-known methods of politics; but no echo of these proceedings, as a rule, reached the newspapers or was recorded in the official journals.
