Excerpt from Report of the Commission to Investigate the Public Charitable and Reformatory Interests and Institutions of the Commonwealth: February 1897 The commission organized on Monday, May 11, 1896, and began hearings on May 26, 1896. We were de sirons of conferring with every person or association of persons who could furnish any information upon the sub jects referred to us in the resolution under which we were organized. We therefore invited all persons informed and interested in these subjects to present their views. We held thirty-eight private hearings, and advertised and held two public hearings in June. We also advertised in news papers published in different parts of the Commonwealth on November 11, 14, 18, 21 and 28, 1896, to the effect that we were prepared to give hearings, either public or private, to any persons who had any matters to present for our consideration. To these notices no response was made asking for public hearings. A few persons re quested to be heard privately, and they were so heard.
