The institution for feeble-minded youth was established at Beatrice by act of the legislature approved March 5, 1895. An appropriation of $50,000 was made at the same time for the erection of proper buildings. The city of Beatrice donated forty acres of land to the state. The act authorized the levying of an annual tax of one-eighth of one mill on the dollar for the support of the institution The legislature of 1887 did not continue this tax, but adopted the method of appropriating from the general fund for the support of this Institution.

The state industrial school for boys was established at Kearney by act of the legislature approved February 27, 1879. To obtain this institution the citizens of Kearney were required to donate not less than 320 acres of good arable land. The original name of this school was "Nebraska state reform school for juvenile offenders." The original act provided for the care and Instruction of both girls and boys. By an act approved March 31, 1887, the name of this school was changed to "State industrial school for juvenile offenders," and still provided for the commitment of both boys and girls. On March 4, 1891, a legislative act was approved calling for the establishment of a "Girls' industrial school for juvenile delinquents" at Geneva. This new school was ready for occupancy March 14, 1892, at which time the 57 girls in the school at Kearney were transferred to Geneva, Kearney becoming from that date on a school for boys only.
WOMEN'S REFORMATORY, YORK The legislature of 1919 also authorized the establishment of a reformatory for women. The object of this reformatory is "To furnish suitable home, proper care, education and training in the industrial arts, to enable women convicted of crimes to fit themselves for useful lives." $50,000 was appropriated for its construction. It was established at York and opened May 8, 1920. In July, 1920 It had ten Inmates. Mrs. Ella J. Pyle is the present superintendent.

The Nebraska soldiers' and sailors' home at Burkett, near Grand Island, was established by legislative act approved March 4, 1887. The home was opened to applicants July 1, 1888. The federal government contributed an amount equal to $100 per capita on the average dally attendance of men. The citizens of Grand Island donated 640 acres of land as a site for the institution. This institution being over-crowded, a branch home was located at Milford in 1895. A site of thirty-five acres was leased at all annual rental of $800. This site contained a brick and stone building three stories in height. The site was purchased by the state in 1899, the sum of $13,500 being appropriated for that purpose. These homes are designed to care for such veterans of the several wars and the United States military service, and the wives, widows or mothers of such veterans, is are eligible to admission.
