The preparation of these histories, at tlie instance of the Volta Bureau, for publication in commemoration of the four himdredth anniversary of the discovery of America, has evinced such generous and gratifying good-will that this Bureau desires here to record its warm acknowledg- ments. To the superintendents, principals, teachers, editors, and others who have so cheerfully and effectively co- operated in the production of this historical memento, the undersigned therefore begs to express the sincere thanks of the Volta Bureau. Special thanks are due to Dr. E. A. Fay for his kindly and painstaking labors, which have resulted in the helpful arrangement and attractive form of the valuable material. JOHN HITZ, Superintendent. iU INTRODUCTION. In this commemoration year it is interesting to recall the fact that the discovery of the possibility of education for the (leaf was almost contemporaneous with the dis- covery of America. The first instance in history of a doaf-mute who learned to read and write was that recorded by Rodolphus Agricola (Roelof Huisman), who lived from 1443 to 1485.* Who this deaf-mute was, who his teacher, and how he was taught, we are not told. Juan Luis Vives {I)e Anima, 1538) marvelled at Agricola's story for It seemed to him an impossibility that one deprived of' the sense of instruction, as Aristotle called the sense of hearing, should be taught to road and write. But while Vives, in deference to the authority of Aris- totle, who at that time was regarded as infallible, hesitated to accept Agricola's testimony, the brilliant Girolamo Cardano, of Milan (1501-1576). following the guidance of his own reason in preference even to the authority of "the Master of those who know," was led to the truth Cardano not only declared that the instruction of deaf-mutes was possible, though difficult, but also stated clearly and accurately the principle on which it depends ; namely, that ideas can be associated directly with written words without the intervention of sound, and so " the deaf-mute can hear by reading and speak by writing." t While we teachers and * Qua in re ut miracnla tmnseam, qua3 vidi, surdurnTprimis vito anms, et (quod conseqnens est) mutum, didicisse tamen ut qu.eeumque sonberet ahquis, iutelligeret. et ipse quoque tamquam loqui soiret ?^"."

IG, p. 443. t As Cardano's books are rare, and his precise words are not quoted in any American work relating to the deaf, it seems worth while t<- -ive the most important passages here. They are taken from a copy of his Opera (London, 1663) in the Library of Harvard University : talprein et mil) utio xcimre atcjue tnu'tatioiie fonfineiitur. l{fli(iai sunt, qui Hurdi tiuut postquani aut loqui tautuiu aat scrihere etiani didicerunt ; utque df Iuh Hennoueni nunc habere iusti- tuiniuM. ♦ • * " Verum si, antecjuain lej^erc ac seribere didicerit, su-dua efBeiatur, quid agore ilium iniHenun oportebit ?

In the year 1836, according to a list published in the Quatrieme Circulaire of the Paris Institution, there were 134 sciiools for the deaf in the world. A list pub- lished in the American Annals of the ])eafien years ago named 397 schools then in existence, and therJ are now about 425. In the United States fifty years ago there were only six schools, and in Canada and Mexico none •« * A school had beeu begun in Quebec in 1831, but had been «„«p«nd»d five years later. '' -"" " Introduction. \ ix in the following pages are given the liistories of 79 schools now e™ ing in the United States, seven in Canada, and one ,n Mexjco. The number of pupils i„ attendance at these schools on the 15th day of November last was 7 940 in the United SUtes, 682 in Canada, and 34 in Me.icf The first pubhcalion in America urging the importance of .nsln-ohng the deaf appeared precisely one hundred years aga It was an essay by Dr. William Thornton, the first head of the United States Patent Office, and the FIIANCIS OHEEN. architect of the first Capitol al Washington, " On Teach- .ng tl. Surd or Deaf, and Consequently Dumb, to Sptak " It was pubhshed in the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, Volume III (Philadelphia, 1793, Ten years earlier, however, an American had published a book on the subject in England. This was Francis Gr,.en, born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1742 and the book, rmhlialiorl o r- - , i ,\. , ■ "*'^' »"« t"e &ui,ect<,, by a Parent " (London, 1783). Mr. Green had X Introduction. a son educated at Braidwood's school, and he wished the benefits of instruction to be extended to other deaf chil- dren. Returning afterwards to America, and residing at Medford, near Boston, he endeavored by frequent contri- butions to the Boston papers, especially the Neio England Palladlam, and by personal correspondence with influen- tial men, to arouse the interest and sympathy of the pub- lic. In the year 1803, with the aid of the clergy of Mas- sachusetts, he gathered returns of the numbers of the deaf in that State, finding about seventy, and estimating that there were five hundred in the United States. The first effort to give instruction to the deaf in America was made by the Rev. John Stanford, in New York, about the year 1810. It is described in the History of the New York Institution in the present volume. The unsuccess- ful attempts made two years later by John Braidwood, Jr., a grandson of the founder of the Edinburgh school, to establish schools in Virginia and in New York are de- scribed in the histories of the Virginia and New York In- stitutions. Braidwood also attempted to found a school in Baltimore, Maryland, but failed there for the same rea- son as in Virginia and New York. These earlier efforts in behalf of the deaf in America, though they seem to have come to nought, are of great interest, for they show that the idea of instruction was in the air, and that the fulness of time for the work to begin was at hand. And though it may now be impossible to trace any direct connection between these efforts and the establishment of the permanent schools a little later* (except that a letter of Francis Green's, written in 1781 and printed twenty-four years afterwards in the Medical Repository, was read at the first public meeting in behalf of the education ol the deaf in New York, and that Mr. * Indeed, the immediate effect of Braidwood's attempts was to hinder and delay the opening of the first permanent school ; for the members of his family in Great Britain, who controlled the monopoly of deaf-mute instruction there, wishing to create a similar monopoly in America, plnced obstacles in the way of Dr, Gallandct when he sought to acquire the art of instruction in the mother country.

A desire Imviiin been expressed in different quarters tlmt the Volta Bureau should collect, and issue in one or more volumes, for the occasion of the World's (lolumbian Exposition, the histories of all schools and in- stitutions for the education of the deaf in America, the Volta Bureau is disposed to carry out this idea, provided it can be assured of the hearty co-operation of superintendents and principals. With a view to have such histcjries serve as a correct index of present conditions and facilities, it is desired that each school and institution prepare and print its own history according to a somewhat uniform plan as to character of contents and size of publication. The latter should conform, as nearly as can be, to the dimensions of the pages of the iXmeri- caa Annals of the Deaf (i1 x S'J inches; jirinted matter, includin},' run- ning title, 7 X ;i'| inches). Of these separate histories this Bureau should be furnished with two th(msand copies by the first of February next. Schools and institutions not having printing facilities of their own coulu have the printing done elsewhere, and scliools which have no means whatever available to have the jn-inting done at their own expense can send the MS. of the history of their school to the Volta Bureau, which, in such exceptional cases, will itself attend to the printing. Among other things, it is desirable— 1. That each history embrace, if possible, engravings and plans of the school or institution, as well as portraits of its present superintendent and principal. If these are not available for publication, single drawings and photographs of the afoi- 'lamed should be sent for preservation in the archives of this Bureau. 2. A complete list of its teachers and employees and of its directors or board of managers on the first of January, 1893. 3. A chronological list of all its superintendents or principals. 4. A chronological list of all its journals and other publications. 5. A list and brief statement of purpose of all societies of the deaf in the institution or locality, with names of officers. 6. A brief mention of any preceding schools or institutions no longer existing in the locality or known to have existed within the State or Ter- ritory. 7. Tabulated statistics of all kinds. Each institution or school supplying the Bureau with material for this work will receive a complimentary copy of the same. The r'?main , ' 1 Thomas F. Fox, M. A. II .

Cogswell, M.D., of Hartford, Conn., a man eminent in his profession and in philanthropic works, became deaf through scarlet fever. Anxious for the education of this beloved child. Dr. Cogswell appealed to the General Association of the Congregational Clergymen of Connecticut to aid him in ascertaining the number of persons in the State afflicted in like manner, and at a meeting of the association, held at Sharon, in June, 1812, it was reported by a committee previously appointed for the purpose, that there were eighty- foiir deaf and dumb persons within the limits of the State. If a like proportion of deaf-dumbness existed in other States there were probably four hundred such persons in New Eng. land, and in all the United States about two thousand. Surely enough of these must be of school age to sustain a good school on this side of the Atlantic. Bringing these facts to the attention of his wealthy and in> fluential friends, Dr. Cogswell succeeded in interesting them in the project of establishing a school for their education. On the 13th ot April, 1815, the following gentlemen met by invitation at his house, viz. : " Ward Woodbridge, Esq., Daniel Wadsworth, Esq., Henry Hudson, Esq., Hon. Nathan- iel Terry, John Caldwell, Esq., Daniel Buck, Esq., Joseph Battell, Esq. (of Norfolk), Rev. Nathan Strong, D.D., and Rev. Thos. H. Gallaudet." After prayer by Dr. Strong in- voking the Divine blessing upon their deliberation8,°and after a full discussion of the practicability of sending some suitable person to Europe to study the art of instructing the 10 AMKItlCAN AHYMIM. ^^^^ deaf and dnmb, Dr. Cogswell and Mr. Woodbridge were ap- pointed a committee to ascertain the name of some suitable person, who would consent to go, and to obtain subscrip- tions to defray his expenses. In one day Mr. Woodbridge, who was one of the leading business men of Hartford, raised sufficient funds for the purpose. The Rev. Thos. H. Gallau- det, a graduate of Yale College and of Andover Theological Serninary, was solicited to make the journey and fit himself to take up the new enterprise. On the 15th of April, 1815, he signified to the committee his willijigness to do so, and on the 25th day of May he sailed for Europe. It is not neces- AMKKICAN A8VI,UM. II lot neces- sary in this brief history to recount the story so often told ot the obstacles encountered by Mr. Gallaudet'in England and Scotland in his endeavor to acquire the method of instruction in use there, and of the open-armed liospitalitv extended to linn by the Abbe De I'Epee at Paris, where every facilit was afforded him to accomplish the purpose for which crossed the Atlantic. Having secured as his assistan rent Clerc, who had been a brilliant pupil and, later, a in the Royal Institution for the Deaf and Dumb a Mr. Gallaudet returned to New York August 1 These two spent the following eight months in prominent places throughout the country to obtain b„., tions and to interest the general public in the cause of ^.a. mute education, the accomplished deaf-mute exciting univer sal wonder and admiration. ii I 12 AMERICAN ASYLUM. While Mr. Gallaudet was abroad, friends at home were active in forwarding the project. At the session of tlie Gen- eral Assemhly of Connecticut, held at Hartfc d, in May, 1816, an act of incorporation was passed in accordance with the petition of sixty-three citizens of Hartford, who, with their associates, were by it " formed into, constituted, and . made a body politic and corporate by the name of the Con- necticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons, with the rights and powers usually granted to incorporations for educational purposes." Connecticut Asylum, 1817. Under this charter the school was opened at Hartford, April 15, 1817, with seven pupils, increasing within a year to thirty-three, the first permanent school for the education of deaf-mutes in America. In other countries, schools of this class had been sustained entirely by private charity, and had had only transient means of support. The founders of the school at Hartford, while availing themselves of private charity to put it in operation, AMERICAN ASYLUM. 13 and demonstrate the need of it, and its ability to meet that need, at once set to work to ])ut it on a reliable basis of sup- port. In October, 1816, the Legislature of Connecticut was appealed to for aid and made an appropriation of five thousand dollars. In 1819, the Congress of the United States, under a motion made %y Henry Clay, gave to the school twenty-three thousand acres of public land, and with the proceeds of the sale of this land grounds were secured, suitable buildings erected, and a permanent fund provided. In 1819, Massa- chusetts provided by legislative appropriation for the education A.MKiaCAN ASYMM, 1H21. of twenty indigent pujiils here. In 1825, New Hampshire and Vermont adopted the same policy of educating their deaf-mute children here at the expense of the State. Other States soon followed this good example. Thus, through the effort? of the founders of this school the humane, just, and wise policy of educating deaf-mutes at the public expense was firmly established in this country, and has been adopted by almost every State in the Union. In some of the Western States means for the education of deaf-mutes are secured by constitutional provision. This has put the schools for deaf- I u AMKRICAN ASYLUM. inutes in the United States on a better basip, financially, than those in any other part of the world. An unfortunate impression has prevailed that the institu- tion is provided with abundant funds for carrying on its work. Such is not the case. Since the grant made by Con- gress in 1819, gifts and bequests have been very few and scanty. By far the largest was that of the late Morris Mattson, JV[.D.,of]New York, who became interested in the school through his deaf-mute sister's connection with it, and made it his residuary legatee. To the disa"! vantage of the institution in its present needs, his example has not been followed. STANDARD FOR TEACHERS. The first Principal of this school, the liev. Thomas H. Gallaudet, was a man of liberal education, broad culture, and rare tact and pantomimi skill. Realizing the difficulties of deaf-mute education and the requirements for success in it, he called about him, as assistant teachers, men of similar qualifications and fit to be his co-laborers, in working out by correction, revision, and expansion of the French system a new, American system of instruction. Thanks to the wise conservatism of its managers, the standard of qualifications for a teacher of deaf-mutes at the outset of the work in this country has been steadily maintained here, and to it may be attributed in no small degree the prestige which this school has ever enjoyed. Twenty-nine graduates of Yale College, besides graduates of other colleges, have been enrolled in its corps of instructors. For a long time this school served as a normal school for the training of teachers to take charge of the new schools springing up. Every new teacher entering upon the work of instruction here, as well as those from other schools resorting to it to acquire the system of instruction, took a regular course of lessons in the sign language from Mr. Clerc, the living embodiment of the French system, and each paid him fifty dollars therefor. The high standard set for the country at the beginning, and the endeavor to live up to it, liave secured results in the education of deaf-mutes whicli AMERICAN ASYLUM, 1& have caused American schools for the deaf to be universally acknowledged to be the best of their kind in the world. MANUAL TRAINING. Mental discipline and acquirements are but a part of the good to be derived from the school course. Manual training now beginning to be considered an essential part of school tram.ng for all children, is doubly so for deaf-mutes. For then- future welfare it is not otiIj necessary that they should form habits of industry, but that every boy should learn how to care for and use tools, and acquire at least the rudiments of a trade, that he may be able to compete successfully with those favored with hearing. Very early in the history of this school this need was recognized, and a plan was adopted of making manual train- ing a requisite part of the education of its pupils. Instruc- tion in this new department was begun in 1822, and in the following year two large and convenient workshops wero erected. From that day to this, manual training has been a part of the instruction of every able-bodied boy — rich and poor alike —passing through his school course here. Habits of industry are invaluable, and they should be acquired at the formative period of life. It is of much less importance what one learns to do, than that one should learn to do promptly and well whatever one undertakes. With industrious habits a trained eye, a skilled hand, and cultivated judgment, one may acquire a new trade with comparative ease, but where all these are wanting, to start on any new line of work is a difficult task. Boys receive instruction in cabinet-making and shoe-mak- ing. Until 1892, there was a tailor's shop also. Most of the girls learn to sew and to do some of the lighter parts of house work. In the cabinet-shop the boys learn how to use wood-work- ing tools, and when they have finished their school course they find it comparatively easy to secure employment in car- penter shops, in furniture establishments, or in any othnr oecu- pation in which that class of tools is used. Thosi who return 16 AMEKIOAN ASYLUM. to farm life find the knowledge which they have obtained in this branch of instruction valuable in saving the cost of repairs and in the manufacture of many needed and useful articles. The cabinet-shop is supplied with power for the turning-lathe and heavy sawing, but the rest of the work here, as all of that in the ^lioeshop, is performed by hand, as the object is not to turn off a large amount of work, but to teach boys the use and proper care of tools. Shoe-making has proved a useful trade for many boys, as it requires very little capital. One can start in the trade almost anywhere, and very seldom does a good cobbler fail to find sufficient work to make a comfortable living. Drawing is carefully taught in order to cultivate the band and the eye, and as a preparation for understanding working plans in the mechanical arts, and as laying the foundation for designing and other art work with those who show special talent in those lines. ' An extensive inquiry made, in 1886, among former pupils of the school, showed them engaged at that time as follows : MEN. 1 Artist, 3 Bakers, 1 Basket-maker, 1 Belt-maker, 1 Blacksmith, 1 Boatman, 1 Boat-builder, 1 Book-agent, 12 Book -binders, . 1 Brakeman, 1 Br ass-m older, 1 Brass-worker, 1 Bricklayer, 5 Burnishers, 2 Chair-makers, 1 Cigar-maker, 1 Clerk in drug store, 1 Clerk in post-office, 1 Casket-maker, 1 Casket-trimmer. 1 Draughtsman, 1 Dyer, 3 Editors, 70 Farmers, 1 Fireman, 3 Fishermen, 1 Foreman in warehouse, 1 Foundryman, 3 Furniture-makers, 1 Furniture-polisher, 1 Glass-cutter, 1 Glue-maker, 2 Hatters, 1 Hostler, 1 Ice-dealer, 1 Janitor, AMERICAN ASYLUM. 17 3 1 6 1 1 9 1 Clerk in Treasury Depart- ment, Clergymen, ordained, C(5oper.

Y. : ;; others live with their parents, and are useful and eftiv .^embers of the household. Of these two classes no note is made in the above list of occupations. WAGES. As a rule the wages reported are not inferior to those earned by others in the same kinds of work, and some are re- ceiving wages above the average. One shoemaker earns $125.00 per month on an average, others report an average of $60.00 per month, others $40.00 per month, and the lowest reported in that trade is $1.00 a day— the wages of boys little more than half way through their teens. One weaver earns $53.00 a month, others $40.00, others $30.00 to $35.00. Carpenters generally report wages of $2.00 a day. Cabinet-makers earn from $1.25 to $2.25 a day. One mechanic earns from $75.00 to $80.00 per month. Clock-makers report wages varying from $1.25 to $3.00 per day for piece work. Burnishers report wages varying from $1.25 to $5.00 per day for piece work. Teachers receive wages which will not compare unfavor- ably with the wages paid for teaching the same grades of classes in the profession generally, the highest salary reported being $1800. The patent lawyer, in a competitive examination for the chief examinership in the patent otiic received the highest mark, but being debarred from that office by his iniirmity, he entered ui^on th.e practice of patent law, in which he has gained a lucrative practice. AMERICAN ASYLUM. 19 It will be seen by a glance at the list given above, that there is a great variety in the occnpations of former pupils. Comparatively few of thejn have followed the trades learned at school, but all hav rried with them the trained hand and eye, the cultivated judgment, and the industrious habits ac- quired. In no case have they found these a hindrance to their advancement, but, rather, on the foundations thus laid they have built their success. There is nothing degrading, or belittling, in the acquirement of any honest handicraft. The false impression that there was has started many a young man on his way to the almshouse or the jail. Honest indus- try of any kind is honorable. Voluntary idleness is degrad- ing, whether it be found among the rich or the poor, among: the learned or the ignorant. The plan of manual training iirst put into operation here has been adopted by nearly every school for deaf-mutes in the country, and to it may be attributed in no small degree the fact that a deaf-mute pauper or vagrant from among gradu- ates is rarely found, though impostors not infrequently assume the role of deaf-mutes that they more readily may work upon- tlie sympathies of the public and so procure the means of living without labor. As a class, the country through, deaf- mute graduates are honest, industrious, thrifty, and respected citizens, and not a few of them have brought up families of hearing children, who have risen to positions of influence and honor. AGE OF ADMISSION. In the early years of the school the time allowed to the beneliciaries of the several States was very short, and that the pupils might be able to accomplish the most in the time allowed, the age of admission was set high, as the following extract from the twenty-seventh annual report will show : " Those children who were to receive no aid from any public body and whose term of instruction was therefore not limited, like that of benefl- ciiiries, have always been admitted to the Asylum at the age of ten years If their friends desire it ; and in a few cases they have been taken at an earlier age, because, it was presumed, that if five years were not sutHcient they would be kept still longer under instruction.

Tlio Now York Institution for t\w Instructio!. of the Deaf aii.l Dumb, at present located on Washington Heights in the City of New York, ranks second in date among American Schools for the Deaf, the American As-dum at Hartford pre- ceding it about a year. Nevertheless, its origin, as will be ^^een, was as independent as that at Hartford. Several y^ars previous to the founding of the Institution, ihore were two distinct attempts made in New York to instruct the deaf. The first effort was made by Rev. John Stanford, ,1 man whose memory is still cherished as a bright example of piety and zealous labor in behalf of the unfortunate. Finding in the almshouse, of which he was chaplain, several children whose ears were closed to the ordinary means of religious teaching, he made a.i effort to impart some instruction to them. For this purpose, he provided them with slates and taught them to write the names of some familiar objects ; but for any further progress, peculiar processes of instruction wore necessary, of which he had no knowledge. He consequently found himself compelled to await a more favorable period foV the realization of his wishes. The opnort unity at length came, as he was subsequently one of (lie fouiKlers of the institution and a member of the Hoard of Directors. At this period, very little was known in America of the success of Eurojioan teachers. Still it was known, in a general way, to men of science, that skill, patience and benevolence had frMnni)hed over the difficulty of deafness and its consequences ; :itid with the names of De I'Epee and Sicard, of Braidwood and Watson, there had i)robably reached America some rumors "f the different systems in use in France and England respec- tively. IJo this as it may, deaf children of wealthy families liad been sent from America to Great Britain to be'educated One of these was from New York, the son of a gentleman ii.mu.d (ireen, who, as early as 1780, was i)laced under Thomas l'>rai(lwood, whose school in Edinburgh attracted so much atten- tion m its l^ordeaux. cular letter e Abbe St. ititution of ^lish, which lanthropists himself as ^ to Samuel f lan eminent lence. Dr. e conversed u itli Rev. Mr. Stanford, who, as has been mentioned, iiad met a number of deaf-mutes in the course of his ministrations, and with Dr. Akerly, whom he knew as a man with a heart open to every call of benevolence. These three gentlemen called a meeting at the house of Rev. Mr. Stanford, at which were present, besides themselves. Gen. James Mapes, Elisha W. King, John B. Scott, Silvanus Miller, R. Wheaton, James Palmer, Nicholas Roome, and Rev. Alexander McLeod. This meeting resulted in another more public, at Tammany Ilall, at which the feasibility of instructing the deaf and dumb was de- monstrated by evidence, which Dr. Mitchell had collected ; and then arose the more practical question as to whether there wore enough deaf-mutes in the city to Justify the establish- ment of a school. The outcome was the first census of deaf- mutes ever made in this country. The committee appointed presented, at a third meeting on January 23d, 1817, reports from seven of the ten wards of the city, giving tlu names and residences of sixty-six deaf-mutes. Tiie population of the city vas 120,000, which showed a proportion of 1 to 1,818. It was believed by some that these could be accommodated at one school, and consequently those belonging to the City of New Vork could be sent to the scliool under Rev. Dr. Gallaudet at Hartford, Conn., which might be injured by another school in New York City. Therefore, further proceedings in New V ork were considered by some as unnecessary. These and other reasons were urged at the time, and had a preponderat- nig influence on the majority of the gentlemen present, with the result that the public meetings were adjourned sine die. The gentlemen who first met on this interesting subject, were still firm in their purpose, and the meetings which were subsequently convened, were attended bv those only who wished a scliool established in New York. ^In the Spring of 1817, they accordingly met and organized a list of officers and 'in-ectors, at the head of which was the Hox. DeWitt Clinton, and a petition was presented to the Legislature for an Act of Incorporation. The high character of the applicants, and the nnexceptionable, though novel, nature of the application, in- sured a ready and favorable hearing, and on the 15tli ol April IH17, theNew York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb ac- 'I'lired a legal existence with the usual corporate privileges. By an interesting coincidence, this Avas the same dav (hat^'the ^w 12 Kew York Institution for the school at Hartford was opened for the reception of pupils. On the 2iid of May, 1817, the board of directors met for the first time. Their first act was to appoint a committee to write to England for a teacher, under the impression that the nysteni of articulation, introduced by Braidwood, would be of more value than the French system, which discarded it. No an- swer was received till the summer of 1818, when the terms de- manded were so exorbitant that it was impossible to accede to them. On the twenty-fourth of March, 1818, the deaf and dumb of New York were collected in the court room of the City Hall, and lent an affecting influence to an address delivered by Dr. MiTcnKLL to an assemblage of the prominent ladies and gentle- men of the city, upon the necessity of making provision for their education. On the twentieth of May of the same year, Mr. AnRAHAM O. Stanshlrv, a gentleman of liberal education, who had been a year in the asylum at Hartford, in charge of the administrative d^^partment, occupied a room which the city authorities had kindly set apart in the almshouse, and whom, after waiting in vain to hear from Europe, the directors of the New York Institution had engaged to take charge of tlieir new school. Around him were grouped four young deaf-mutes, who had been brought to him that morning, and whom he was in the act of teaching the letters of the manual alphabet. They were to live at home and come to him every day. Jiefore the close of the year 1818, had been ga- thered thirty-three pupils, and Miss Mary Stansbury had been engaged as an addititmal teacher. Twenty-four of these pupils were day scholars, and nine were boarders, who, with the other ^idditions duri.ig the first eleven years, were accommodated in roonis hired at 41 Warren Street for their benefit. Some of these were paying j)Upils, bu* the expenses of the majority were defrayed by cliaritable coniributions, and by the City of New- York, which agreed to make an annual appropriation of $400. At the Annual JNfeeting of the members of the institution, composed of ladies and gentlemen who had agreed to pay three dollars annually, or tliirty dollars in one sum, held on the third Tuesday of May in that year, in accordance with the terms of the charter, Br. MiTrnKi.L was elected President, in place of De Witt Clinton, who, having been elected Governor, felt constrained to retire. In the spring of 1810, as the num- hiHtruction of the Deaf ami -Dumb. la l.or of pupils had rcachcl forty-seven, it nas found impossible to support the institution on the limited resources they could command, and Dr. Akkuly, as secretary of the Board of r.-ustees, accompanied by Mr. Stansbuky and eleven of his pupils, proceeded to Albany, and held an exhibition before the Lenjislature. The result of the favorable impression thus creat- ed was the passage, on the 13th of April, 1819, of two Acts- one making a direct appropriation of $10,000 from the State treasury, and the other securing to the institution a moiety of the tax on lotteries in the City of New York, from which^ for fourteen years thereafter, a considerable part of its income was derived. In June following, Mr. Horace Lookborrow was en<.a-ed a. an assistant teacher. In June, 1821, a further grant Tvas obtaine.1 from the Legislature of $2,500, and on the ]6th of April, 1 H22, was passed an Act appropriating $50 each per annum for thirty-two indigent State pupils, four of whom were to be sent from each Senate district, and authorising the supervisors of any county in such district to send to the insti- tution at the expense of the county, any deaf-mutes not t.ro- v.ded tor by the preceding arrangement. In this way, it was thought no deaf-mute need be left without instruction The term of instruction was, however, unfortunately limited tc» three years. In the meantime, important changes had taken place intl.e organization of the institution. Mr. Stansburv departed for Europe in May, 182], and Mr. IIorack LooKnoK- Kow was made Principal. The administrative department of the institution was placed in the hands of Dr. Samuel Akeri y as superintendent and physician, who occupied this post till tebniary, 1831. In 1827, an Act of the Legislature was passed, grantmg #*lo,000 to aid in the erection of buildings L thJ permanent use of the institution, coupled with three condi- t.ons : 1st. That the directors should raise an equal amount ; -d. I hat the location and plans should receive the approval of the Superintendent of Common Schools and the expenditures be accounted for to the State Comptroller ; 8d. That the institution should be subject to the inspection of the Super- intendent of Public Schools, this ofHcer being, at the same time authorized to visit other institutions for the deaf and dimb, and to suggest to the director., such improvements in the system of instruction as might seem to him desirable 14 Neic York Institution. The directors liavini? complied witli all tlie conditions, on the 19th of October, 1827, the corner-stone of the new huildin.!? wa^ laid on Fiftieth Street, between the Fourth and Fifth Avenues, by the lion. Azariah C. Flagg, Secretary of State, and ex offido Superintendent of Common Schools, in presence of a large assemblage of friends of the institution. The siti' select.d'vvas an acre of ground donated by the city, but some ten acres of land adjoining were leased for the use of the pupils. For one who sees it now, densely built up with elegant stone structures, palatial dwellings, churches, hotels, the college, and the cathedral, it is difficult to realize that this was then a rural spot, surrounded by green fields, woods and meadows, and reached only by country roads. Tlie building was dedicated on the ;iOth of September, 1829. The address on the occasion was delivered by Rkv. Jameh M11.NOR, D.D., Rector of St. George's Church, who, at the elec- tion in May, had been chosen as the successor of Du. Mitciikm,, in the office of President. Though the cost had exceeded the oric^inal estimate by $15,000, amounting in all to |35,000, the enth-e amount, except $10,000 given by the State, was secured by the directors, who thus far exceeded the conditions imposed upon them by law. Mr. Stansbukv had not been a teacher at Hartford, and his ideas on the method of instructiou Avere rathei crude and vague. Conse(piently, at New York, experience was as yet wanting, and the first teachers, themselves groping in the dark, endeavored, by Dr. Watson's work on deaf-mute instruction, to teach articulation, at least to suc,i of their pupils as retained a remnant of speech or of hearing. The results attained, as might be expected, were so unsatisfactory that the attempt was soon abandoned. Mr. Loofborroav endeavored to reduce to practice the V-ections given in the works of Sicard, with such modifications as his own experience and ingeniiity suggested. ■ He was a man of intelligence and energy, atul had he been better seconded in the department of instruction, his success, in many instances very creditable, would have been greater and more uniform. But, with the exception of one worthy lady teacher, and of a gentleman who continued but a year or two. his assistants were inadequate to the work. Moreover,, the signs used by him and his assistants were often clumsy and Jt v. H fe t" H o n H en a H 01 • H ember, 18^9, Rkv. Jamks •, at the elec- \.

Tlio larfjt* nundxM- of jjiipiis who attondi'd irregularly as day seholars, not only made unsatisfaetory progress theni- 'telvos, but hindered the progress of their classes. Owing to thi (leticiency of \vell-(pialified teachers, tliere was less moral and religious control exercised over the pupil- than was desir- able, au'! the school began to suffer in comparison with the neighbcjring ones at Il:ii tford and Philadelphia. This popular (jpinion affected ever> the Legislature of the State, and, as luis been noted, (m the oicasion, in 1827, of the grant to aid in the erection of permanent buildings, the condi- tion was annexed, that the Institution should be subject to the ofHcial inspection of the State Superintendent of Common Schools, and that higli officer was directed "to ascertain by comparison with other similar institutions, whether any im- provements can be made." Mr. Flagg visited the Institutions at Hartford and Philadelphiii, and made a careful comparison of their systems oi' instruction with that which had been pursued in New Vork. The consccpKiice of his examinati'>ns and recommendations were that, after ;i contest of two <>r thret- yars between the party that supported the old t cache s ami the party that desired to j.dace the school on higher gi lUnd, a chanire of men and measures was resolved on. The labors and anxieties connected with erecting a K.uitable building having been brought to an end, the directors now turned their attention to making improvements in the internal management, and especially in the personnel of the corps of instruction, rnder the inspirin-* guidance of their new presi- dent, they inaugurated measures designed to gi\v' the institu- tion a leading i)osition in this country and in the world. 1)e. MiLXoK visited Kurojx' in 1880, at his own expense, and inspect- ed a large number of institutions. On his return, he brought with him, from the Paris Institution, Prof. Leon V'aisse, an instructor who held a high rank in the corps of the Paris Institution, t« which lie returned after some years o! service in New York, and where he was successively made vice-principal and principal.

From each extremity of the corridors, as seen in the plan, hall* extend to the connections with the wings, and the staircases^ in tlie towers. On either .ide of the entrance hall is a reception room for vlsitorn, and a director's room. The hall itself is lined with cabinets containing valuable mineralogical and conchological collections, and a hne exhibit of birds and curiosities from Cey- lon, the islands of the Pacific and the north-west coast, with specimens of the various woods originally found on the grounds of the Institution. The large space in the wall near be door IS occupied by Mr. John Carlin's masterpiece, which be bequeathed to the school. In the reception room are eases lor the library, in which are over 4000 volumes, including one of the finest collections of works on the Deaf and their in stniction in existence. On the same floor are rooms for the prin- o.pa and for the matron. The second story contains rooms for the teachers who lodge and board in the institution, for such visitors as may have claims to special attention, and for other purposes In the upper story are dormitories for the pupils of the female department, and the hospital for ordinary cases of su-kness-a special building for contagious diseases, known as the (^ottage Hospital, near Fort Washington Avenue, is far ■vmoyed from the main buildings-the' basement of this building contains rooms for domestics, store-rooms etc Kach of the wings is one hundred and twenty feet bv fortv- S..V. Entering one of them through the passage or halfleadiiig iioni the central corridor, you find on the first floor the saloon or sitting room for tlie pupils, one hundred and six feet bv lorty-two in clear intci ior s])ace, and sixteen feet to the ceil- ing. In these spacious and lofty rooms, well warmed ." winter, and well ventilated at all times, the pupils l.ave seats, tables for reading, or study, or composition, in the ovou.ng, and at such other fragments of time as reading and study may b^ order. The evening li; .^.t here, as in the'other rooms, IS turnished by gas. In the basement of the wings are wash and bathing rooms • ■n the second story, separate dormitories, wardrobes, ;tc.; and ". the upper story of each an open dormitory, of size corre- HpoiKhng to the sitting room below, and of equal height In- stead of the pillars which, in an ordinary building, would be !94 New York Institution for the required to support the floors in rooms of such dimensions, the floor of the dormitory is braced up by trusses, and supports 'the floor below it by iron rods. By this expedient, the four •great rooms, the saloons below, and the dormitories above, arc left entirely clear of pillars or supporting rods. Each of these four rooms has a clear content of over seventy thousand cubic feet, which, with the provision for the renewal of the air by ventilation, and the height of the ceiling, secures to each pupil abundant breathing space and pure air. The staircases in the towers, afford to the principal and matron access to the apartments of the pupils under their care. The main staircases to the dormitories are at the eastern end of «ach wing, and to give every guarantee of safety in case of fire, are constructed of stone. In addition to this the main building, with the adjoining wings, are connected by an im- proved system of fire signals centering in the main hall, from whence a special alarm can be sent at a moment's notice to the ■City Fire Department. The Academic Building is in the rear of the main building, and is one hundred and fifty feet by fifty-five, containing class, lecture, library, laboratory and cabinet rooms, with the art studio and necessary ofticen. Each class has a large, lofty, well-lighted and well-ventilated room, of an average size of twenty by twenty-eight feet. In the bawement of this build- ing, are the air chambers of the heating and ventilating ap- paratus, store roomss, wash rooms, etc. The exterior of the building is furnished wit\ an elaborate system of fire-escapes to facilitate safe and speedy exit in case of necessity. The central building contains on its first floor the dining- room, under which in the basement are the kitchens, and on its second floor the chapel, eighty by sixty feet, and over thirty feet high, with ten lofty windows. It is also ventilated by a large skylight in the roof. At the east end, against the wall, is the platform, raised three feet above the floor, for the ofli- ciating teacher, while the pupils and spectators occupy seats ris- ing successively one behind the other. As the worship in which the deaf and dumb can share must be addressed to the eye only, care is taken that every eye in the congregation can rest with ease on the platfo. i, and that the light should be thn svn that way. It will be seen by the plan that the pupils have access to the chapel by corridors from their respective sitting rooms, each I istruction of the D> f and Dumb. 95 ng .Icpartment enterinpr by its own door ; and after the morn,.., prayer and explanation by signfl of a text of Hcriptun , each .le- partment passes along another corridor to tl • HchoOl-hoiise. The Hame i(. ridors also give access to the dining room »nder the chapel, i'rom the first building, the access to the . ipd is l)y \y ST' staircase. In the chapel, besidi the '■<^''^'**' ' "y which school is opened each d ly, public worship in the language of gestures, intelligible to all the PupilH, is held every Sabbath. Here, also, public exercises are old on certain days of the year. On the northern boundary of the grounds is located the building containing the shops, erected in 18G9, and containing trade schools for instruction in printing, carpentry, cabinet- m.iking, shoeraaking, chair-caning and tailoring. The build- ing is 100 fe. f by 30, presenting three stories of brick above a basement o ne, and its construction was completed at a cost of nearly $20,000. The steam apparatus is placed in a separate building, at least one hundred feet fn. a the main buildings. From this boiler-house steam is conducted to the air chambers under the school-house, already n^entioned. In this room, which is some twenty-one by thirty feet, and sixteen feet high, fresh air IS heated by the steam, and then distributed by the action of a tan-blower, through air chambers and flues under and from beneath, through all the buildings. Each room has a separate flue connecting with the air passage in the base of each build- ing, and a separate flue to carry off the vitiated air. From this sketch of the internal arrangements, we return to the external features of the main building as it now appears. Ihe basement is of a beautiful, speckled-gray granite, from Neal Harbor Island, Maine, as are also the window sills and lintels. The upper stories are indicated by courses of the same material, running round the enti > building. The walls, with the exceptions just indicated, are of brick, as equally durable and far more economical than stone ; and to save the expense ot frequent renewals of paint or stucco, the external walls are taced with yellow Milwaukee brick, giving, with the granite, an agreeable contrast of light tints. The roofs are of slate with a cornice of granite. The other architectural features of the buildings will appear from an inspection of the plans. Work on the preparation of the site was begun in the sum- IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) A // A 1.0 ^1 2.8 = 1^ ii I. 1^ 1^ 12.5 2.2 12.0 1.8 1.25 !.4 1.6 ■• 6" ► /J <$» >• ^a A *i /^ yy -'? 0/f Photographic Sciences Comoration ^ s ,v « -^ o"^ 'A^ '^ 73 WEST MAIN STREET WEBSTER, N.Y. 14580 (716) 872-4503 ? &^ fA 2"6 New York Imtitiition for the mer df 185'3. Much expense and delay was incurred on one part of the site, in removing a vast deposit of rock"; and on another, in removing a quicksand, the place of which had to be filled up with concrete, to the depth, in some places, of eighteen feet. There being a water front to the property, a wharf was built, on which the building materials were landed from the river, and carried up the hill, at first by teams, on a graded road ; but this road being too circuitous, a railroad was laid on a rapidly inclining plane directly down the face of the hill, up which cars loaded with brick, stone, lime, etc., were drawn by stationary steam power, at a great saving in the cost of trans- portation. The buildings were put up chiefly by day labor,, under the direction of competent engineers and superintendents. The cost including the shops, boiler-house, and steam and warming and ventilating apparatus, exceeded four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, exclusive of the cost of the grounds. To give a better idea of the magnitude of the buildings, we add that the areas of the several flooi-s in the five main build- ings is very nearly three acres ; about double the area of the buildings on Fiftieth Street. As the latter were found capable of comfortably accommodating from 220 to 240 pupils, these buildings can afford comfortable accommodations foi' at least 5ft0 deaf-mutes, with principal, teacher.s, officers and the necessary domestics. Two years after the opening of the new building. Dr. H. P. Peet, finding that his new field of operation would tax to the utmost the energies of his life, and believing that the interests of the institution would be subserved by the selection for president of some other member of the board, resigned that office, con- tinuing, however, to discharge the duties of principal, which had so long been merged in those of president. He was succeeded by Bkx.tamin R. Winthrop, Esq., a gentleman who had for many years taken the deepest interest in the institution, and had, as one of the directors, contributed very greatly to its success, by generous devotion, without compensation, of time, money and influence. After the removal of Mr. Win- THROP to France, where he had taken up his permanent resi- dence. Shepherd Knapp, Esq., a gentleman identified with the growth and progress of the city and of the institution, the oldest living director except Dr. Peet, was, in 1869, elected president.

With this additional provision, the number of pupils in 1867, fifty years aftar the Institution was founded, amounted to 439, and in 1870 to 616, the highest number ever reached. From which time the number has de- creased, owing to the establishment of seven other institutions for the deaf in the State, and one in New Jersey, so that the attendance at this writing is about 300. On the 26th of June, 1866, the closing day of the academic year, was celebrated the semi-centennial anniversary of the Institution. There were in attendance a great number of in- vited guests, among whom was a large representation from the American Asylum at Hartford. The character of the occasion may be inferred from the following order of exercises. 1. The chair occupied by Benjami.; R. Winthrop, President of the Institution. 3. Reading the oi'der of exercises By Joseph W. Patterson. 8. Prayer By Rev. Francis Vinton, D.D. 4. Readitfg letters from invited guests. By Rev. Thomas Qallaudet, D.D. 5.

Exercises by the pupils. 10. Benediction. In the report of the proceedings, it is observed that "the interest of the occasion was greatly enhanced by the fact that Dr. H. p. Pj:et, after more than thirty-six years' service as the head of the Institution, was about to retire, and hence his ad- dress was a farewell. His son, Isaac Lewis Peet, LL.D., who had been for fifteen years Vice- Principal of the Institution, had just been unanimously elected to succeed him." A second serai-centennial celebration was held by the graduates of the Institution, on the occasion of the second biennial meeting of the Empire State Association of Deaf- Mutes, August 28th, 29th and 30th, 1867. At this remarkable gathering were assembled about five hundred deaf-mutes from all parts of the country as guests of the Institution, probably the largest meeting of the kind the world ever saw. The event of greatest interest on this occasion was the presentation Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb. 29 to Dr HP. Pket, on behalf of his former pupils, of a valuable silver plate. Though Dk. Pket had retired from the active duties of prin- cipal, he did not entirely dissolve his connection with it but continued to live in the Mansion House on the grounds with the title of EmeHtus Principal, and by his counsel and co- operation strengthened t'.e hands of his successor till his death which took place on the Ist of January, 1873. ' About three years before, had occurred a change in the administration of the Institution which was the result of a id from the sident of the ISAAC LEWIS PEET, LL.D. Still f.nther increase of pupils, the average attendance having reached 535. The Institution was diviled into two co-equal clepartments, one of which, the educational department, was placed under the Principal, and the other, the administra- nve department, was committed to a Superintendent. Ihe first superintendent was De. Brooks, who had acquired a reputation as an efficient manager of an Institution, at the New York Juvenile Asylum, of which he had been superin- tendent. In him the offices of superintendent and physician were united. He retired in the spring of 1878, and was succeeded by William Porter, M.D. The Legislature of 18/4 removed the word indigent from its statute book, so far 30 Neio York Ipstitiition for the as the deaf and dumb are concerned, and offered the benefits of education to all alike, whether the children of rich or poor parents, thus removing the temptation from parents to abridge the term of instruction, either by deferring sending their children to school too late or by removing them too early, as had very often been the case. Dr. Portkr, after ten years of efficient service as superin- tendent and resident physician, retired in 1883, and was succeeded by T)r. James C Carsox, who, in September, 1884, resigned to accept a more lucrative position in the State's CHAUNCEY N. BRAIXERD, service. Dr. George S. Knickerbocker became superin- tendent in October, 1884, but resigned in June, 1885, and was succeeded by Mr. Chauncey N. Brainerd, who had been con- nected with the Institution for eighteen years as steward. As superintendent, Mr. Brainerd managed the administrative department with singular ability and far-seeing judgment till his retirement in February, 1893. One effect of the law of 1863, allowing the admission of pupils of six years of age, was largely to increase the propor- tion of small children, and it became necessary to classify and separate them from the older pupils. ...

In June 1878 GEORGE A.

Robhins, the Treasurer of d,e nstitution speaking for the Board, gave an outline of the causes which led the Directors to prepare for a prospective which had been under consideration for several years r,re IddiSnal^''" *'"^ '^^'i ^^P^"^"^^' '* ^^« ^-"<^ *'-t the additional expense caused an annual deficiency of several thousand dollars, and consequently this branch was per- 9i New York Institution for the manently closed at the end of the summer terra in 1883, the young pupils being, thereafter, domiciled at the Mansion House adjoining the Institution, and the idea of removing from the present site being permanently abandoned. Following the custom which has long obtained at the Insti- tution, of having the school represented at foreign congresses of Teachers of the deaf, the Board of Directors, in addition to appointing the principal to represent the school, selected two members of the Board as special delegates to the International Congress for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Deaf, REV. CIIABLKh A. STODDARD, D.D. held in Milan, Italy, September 0th to 11th, 1880. One of the gentlemen thus selected was the Rkv. Chablks A. Stoddard, D.D., the present first Vice-President of the Institution, whoso report of the work of the congress and his deductions there- from is appended to the Sixty-Second Annual Report of the Institution, for the year 1880. In the same publication also ap- pears another report on the Congress from the pen of Rev. Thomas Gaixaudet, D.D., a member of the Board and like- wise a delegate to the Congress. At the New Orleans Exhibition, held in 1884-85, the Insti- tution presented an exhibit consisting of contributions by the TnstriictloH of the Deaf and Dumb. 33 initlk'otual, induHtrial and artistic departments, arranged ac ••..rdiui,' to the accompanying illustration. Other institutions Cor the deaf in various parts of the country were represented l.y special exhibits, but the New York Institution was awarded the diploma for excellence. On August 23d to 27th, 1890, the Twelfth Convention of American Instructors of the Deaf and the First International Convention in America was held at the Institution, the three hundred and fifty delegates and their friends being entertained as the guests of the Institution. Forty years previous, in August, 1850, the initial convention of this body was held at the Institution, and of those who attended the first gathering but two were present at the last, Rkv. Dr. Thomas Gallaudkt and Dr. Isaac Lewis Pkkt. A pleasant feature of the conven- tici was the presentation to Dr. Pkk^, by a number of hif» former pupils, of a life-size oil portrait of himself, and which now adorns the library of the Institution. The next important event in the history of the Institution was the retirement, on January 1st, 1893, of the venerable Isaac Lkwis Pket, LL.D., who had been actively encraged in the Institution as a teacher for nearly forty-eight years the last twenty-five as Principal. He was honored by the' Board of Directors with the title of Principal Emeritus His mantle fell upon Enoch Henry Currier, M.A who had been intimately associated with him for nearly twenty-one years, and was thoroughly prepared, by familiarity with the theory and practice of deaf-mute education, to assume tht re- sponsible position of Principal. Within k month of this ap- pointment, Professor Currier, as Principal, was further honored by being placed in sole charge of the institution, the system ot double responsibility, which had obtained for twenty-three years, being finally abolished. The Institution thus resumes its earlier organization with all the advantages of possessing at its head a man fully equipped for the position. Ihe system of instruction in use is known as the Combined System, in contradistinction to all such systems as confine themselves to some exclusive method of expression. Its in- struments are writing, the manual alphabet, pantomime, si^ni- hcant gestures for individual words, lip-reading, articulation, and grammatical symbols, and the special training afforded by the Kindergarten drill ; consequently the system is eclectic. 3 * 34 New York Institution for the ///; r.

With this view I should decidedly con- |>e,ve^any attempts at introducing Mr. Gard would be impolitic and pre- ^Mr Thompson's wise counsel wiu. followed, and the citizens of ni.ladeJphia gave their undivide.l support to the school at HartfoH. No steps were takeu at the time towards the fouuding of a school in. Pennsylvania, and the establishment of the Pennsyi- vania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, the third oldest in the country* and now admittedly the finest and most complete school for the deaf in die world, was brought about in an altogether unlooked-for way. There were quite a number of deaf children in Philadelphia who were frequently to be seen wandering about the streetii, excit^ mg by their neglected appearance and uncouth gestures the laughter and ridicule of the cruel and thoughtless, and the interest and compassion of the benevolent. To one man in Philadelphia the miserable condition of these children appealed most power- fully, and led him to perform an act of practical philanthropy which deserves to be forever held in grateful remembrance. This was David G. Seixas, an humble Israelite, who kept a little crock- ery store on Market street, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. Picking up on the streets a number of these children he clothed and fed several out of his scanty niean.s, and, with other deaf children whom he induced to come, in.structed them as best he could. What particular method of instruction he pursued is not certainly known. He was doubtless aware of the main inci- dents of Laurent Clere's visit to Philadelphia, if he was not actually present at the public meeting, and he had probably read of the methods of instruction pursued at Hartford, of accounts of which tlie newspapers of the day were full, and with this meagre knowledge, supplemented by the crude .sign language which hin ingenuity devi.sed, ho was able to begin the education of his unfor- tunate charges. The little school, which must have been estab- lished late in 1 819, or early in 1 820, had eleven pupils, live boys and SIX girls. Notwithstanding his lack of experience the success of Mr. Seixas must have been considerable, for the fame of the little pchool and of its devoted teacher spread rapidly and enlisted the sympathy and support of the philanthropic i^ople of the city. On the ninth of April, 1820, several prominent citizens, among whom were Roberts Vaux, Horace Binney, Clement C. Biddle Jacob Gratz, Dr. N. Chapman, William Wilkins, of Pittsburg, and Joseph Correa de Serra, the I'ortuguese Minister, met Mr. Seixas by appointment, at the house of Mr. Vaux, and after a lengthy interview, decided to call a public meeting to consider the propriety of establishing an institution for the education of the deaf and dumb. >uuding of I PennsTl- eet in the lete school altogether ladelphia, jete, excit- rturea the 36 interest iladelpbia st power- Ian thropy 06.

Article VIII. Indigent children, resident anywhere within the Slate, shall be received into the school and asylum, maintained and educated gratuitously so far as the fnnds of the Institution will admit ; Provided, that when more children shall be offered for the benefit of this Institution than can be received at any one time, the president and directors shall apportion their number among the several Counties of this Commonwealth, according to their representation (when application shall be made) that every County may equally receive the benefits of the same. Article IX. The number of officers and directors may be increased or diminished, as convenience shall require, at any annual meeting of the members of the Institution, notice of the intended alteration being pre- viously given, and twenty members, being a majority of the members present, consenting; and any general meeting shall be competent to make, alter or repeal by-laws, rules and regulations, twenty-one members being present at the same. A third meeting was held on Wednesday evening, April 26 when the following officers and directors were elected : President, Rt. Rev. William White; Vice-Presidents, Robert Patterson, Horace Binney, Roberts Vaux, Dr. N. Chapman ; Secretary, Henry ,T. Williams ; Treasurer, John Bacon ; Directors, William Meredith, John Vaughan, Clement C. Biddle, Jacob Gratz, J. N. Barker, General T. Cadwalader, William J. Duane, Samuel Archer, Paul Beck, R. Walsh, Jr., Alexander Henry, Rev. P. F Mayer, Dr. William Price, Calender Irwin, Reuben Haines, Dr. Franklin Bache, Samuel B. Morris, W. W. Fisher, Benjamin Tilghman, Caleb Crosson, William Mcllvaine, .Toseph Gratz, Samuel Canby and Samuel R. Wood. It is worthy of note, as illustrative of the abiding interest which the members of the original Board took in the welfare of the school, that most of them continued to take an active part in the management of the Institution to the time of their deaths, and that many of them are represented on the present board by descendants in the third generation. The Board of Directors appointed a committee to confer with Mr. S'eixas, with a view of securing his services as teacher, and another committee to prepare an addreas to the inhabitaute of Pennsylvania, setting forth the objects of the Instittition and soliciting pecuniary ai.l At the next meeting of the Board, held salary of $1000 per annum. ^ Mr. Seixa« was installed aa principal on May 16. and the little class met for the time beang at his house. On May 25 a public exhibition was given at Washington Hall, with the result of still further awakening public interest in the school.

At the same time an appropriation of, $8000 was made to, aid the school, and the State Treasurer was authorized to pay $160 for each deaf child educated therein, the total amount so paid, however, not to exceed $8000. The term of instruction was limited to three years. IMVID G. SEIXAS, First Principal of the Institution. As a result of this generous assistance from the State the attend- ance rapidly increased, and before the end of the year the accommodations on West Market Street were found insufficient. A more commodious house, on the corner of Market and Eleventh streets, where the Bingham House now stands, was accordingly leased for a term of three years. In May, Charles Dillingham, a graduate of Williams College, was appointed a teacher, and in September his sister. Miss Abigail Dillingham, who had been a pupil at the Hartford school, also took charge of a class. In March, 1822, the corps of instructor was further increased by the addition of Abraham J5. Hutton, who thus began a connection with the school which exteiule.1 over a period of nearly fifty years, and terminated only with his death ^ In October, 1821, Mr. Seixas retired from the principalshin of the Inst.tut.on With some difficulty the director' of th Ameri- can Asylum a Hartford were induced to release Laurenfcierc for a period of six months, and he was placed in charge of the school During his brief .tay Mr. Clerc introduced fully he methds practiced at Hartford and gave much valuable instrul tion to the teachers.

The number of pupils steadily increased and before the expiration of the lease it became evident that the accommodations i-t Elfcv«nth and Market streets were inadequate and that more cowraodious quarters must be sought. In 1824 a site at the north- west comer of Broad and Pine streets was secured and here was erected the central portion of the buildings, which, with numerous additions and alterations, were to be the home of the Institution for nearly seventy years. The new building was occupied in December, 1825, and on December 30 following a reception was. held, at which there was a large attendance of distinguished people. An eloquent address was made by the principal, Mr. Weld, and an exhibition waa given of the attainments of the pupils. ^^y4'ii*!-- ■ THE INSTITUTION AT KLEVfJNTH AND MARKET STREETS, 1821-1824. The new building afforded room for a much larger number of pupils than before, and in 1827, provisions having been made by the State Legislature, the Institution began to receive the indigent deaf children of Maryland. At a later period the State of Dela- ware made provisions for the education of its deaf children in this Institution. In 1828 the lustitutio.M acquired the entire block bounded by Broad, Pine, Fifteenth and Asylum st ets. In 1832 a school hou.se was erected in the rear of the main building, thus consider- ably increasing the facilities of the Institution.

This step was all the more desirable because the property of the Institution, although originally on theoutskirtH of the city, was now rapidly being surrounded by new streets and dwellings. The civil war, however, with its disastrous effects upon the financial condition of the country, prevented the sale of the property on advantageous terms, and the design was abandoned for the time being. However, the desirability of a location in the country was not lost sight of and in subsequent years various plans for eflecting a removal were brought forward. During the trying times of the war the demands for admission decreased some- what, although still exceeding the ability of the Institution to grant, LKWIS WELD, Principal 1822-1830. and this furnished an additional reason for deferring action in the matter, at that time at least. The State, however, voluntarily in- creased the per capita appropriation, in view of theiincrease in the coat of the neceesaries of life, and it was decided to slightly enlarge the buildings. In 1863, therefore, an additional storylwas added to the two wings in the rear. On July 18, 1870, the Institution suffered the loss of ite able and devoted principal, Abraham B. Hutton. Mr. Huttouldied at Stuyvesant, N. Y., while on a visit to his sister. Joshua Foster, who had been a teacher in the Institution for upwards of thirty years was appointed to succeed him.

Dr. Wylie's church on Broad Street, opposite the Institution. Addresses were delivered by Thomas Jefferson Trist, John Car- liii, Joseph O. Pyatt and others. The exercises of the day con- cluded with a reception and banquet at the Institution in the evening. Some three hundred graduates were present on this interesting occasion, and as a result of the gathering a fine oil portrait of Lewis Weld, painted by John Carlin. one of the grad- uates, was presented to the Institution. In spite of repeated enlargements, in 1875 it was found neces- sary to adopt some means to increase the capacity of the Institu- tion, the number of pupils at that time being 225, and the num- ber of applications for admission being far beyond the ability of ABRAHAM B HUTTON, Principal, 1830-1870. the Institution to accept. Efforts had been made in vain to ob- tain a suitable site in the suburbs, and the city of Philadelphia had been appealed to without avail to donate a site, and the Board of Directors therefore concluded to enlarge the existing edifice. The fine brick structure occupying the whole western half of the Institution property and containing ample play-rooms and dormitories and numerous school-rooms, was accordingly erected. This improvement increased the capacity of the school to 350. In July, 1876, the convention of the American Instructors of the Deaf and Dumb met at, and was entertained by, the Insti- tution. l..p Is as retained a considerable command of speech, and, inci- dentally, as a means of testing the practicability of teaching speech to the congemtally deaf When, therefore, the day-scS was estabhshed it was decided to employ the oral method exl ..vely Instruction in articulation at Broad and Pine streets wl earned on without interruption. The growth of the "day-school" was rapid. Li 1883 the a tendance was 70. and nine teachers wore einploved. Early in wlrl found t.T'"";'''"""' Seventeenth and Chestnut streets were found to be inadequate and .the school was removed to a larger house at the corner of Eleventh and Clinton streets. The experiment of a day-school did not prove as satisfactory as had THE INSTITUTION IN 1892. been anticipated, and in 1885 it became a boarding-school and was known thereafter as the Branch for Oral Instruction ' A the mam Institution an experimental chi«s was formed in winch the children were taught in the school-room by spee h ch.hhen out of school. A second class for this species of instruc tion was subsequently formed. Thus the Institution had ™ tT; ::: t " 'f- ^^^^-^^^-^-'-^ ^-"^ forward t on 'and h same time and it wa. upon the practical results obtained and act upon any mere theory, that subsequent action in regard to speech teaching was based. In 1887 it was determined to fscon- tinne he t..achmg of articulation to the pupils of manual cl^es and at the present time the oral work of the school is ca H H^' ai in a pure oral department, and a pniall oral class in connection with the manual department. In July. 1884, the principal, VTr. Foster, resigned the position which he had so long and so honorably filled, and A. L. E. Crouter, who for a year preceding had acted as vice-principal, and who had been a teacher in the school since 1867, was appointed his successor. The first year of Mr. Crouter's administration was marked by several important changes and improvements. The Oral Branch was enlarged so as to accommodate one hundred pupils, thus making it one of the largest oral schools in the country, the co-education of the sexes in the classes was begun and gradually extended to itii'ljtiiijijiiiih SCHOOIv BUILDING, CORNER OF PINE AND FIFTEENTH STREETS, i89». the entire school, and new industries were introduced in the indus- trial department. In 1888 the educational work at the main Institution was div ided into two departments, the primary, under F. W. Booth, as chief instructor, and the advanced, under the immediate charge of the principal. In 1889 it became evident that a new site for the Institution must be sought at once. The accommodations both at the main Institution and at the "Oral Branch" were entirely inadequate, and it was felt that the wisest plan was to remove the Institution to a suburban point, where greater healthfulness could be secured and where there would be ample room for future growth. From the time of its orgatiization the Institution had been the recipient of gifl. and legacies from benevolent people, and ,l„rinK He year . be,,,e,l„f two hundred thousand dollL from James and M.r^ Plato I «?f° r f -" "'■'''' " '""' "" '""8 '"«' "' ™'^"- plation.

At the outset it was evident that the pron^nence g ven to separate oral instruction denianded a general EoT J the pupds into two parts, the manually and the orallvt!™ w^^ulsodesu-able that there should be such flexibilit; 'of nhu that changes in the relative number in the two divisionf migh't be readily imule should circunistiuifes so di'iiiaiid. Tlio rcciuinMiieiits to be met were, therefore, first, a jf^iieral division of the two sys- tems of teachiii„' ; secondly, a separation of the younger from the older pupils; thirdly, in each of these sectiims, a division by sex, and finally, in each of thes (VivjH.aiii > uts, a stiil further division into small groups and fiuniili s to r:i'ilitate supervision. It was, therefore, decided to erect four departnient buildings, to be known, for the present ut least, as the advanced, intermediate, primary pud oral departments, each complete in itself, with its own dining-rooms, dormitories, assembly rooms, play grounds, etc., and with its own school-house in the rear. Tlic vH.;.i u plan of all these department buildings is the same. Each consists of a central por- tion, containing the dining-room, assembly-hall, office and recep- tion room, parlor, kitchen, etc., and on opposite sides of this there are wings for the nuile and female pupils. In the wings there are [)rovisions for separating the older pupils from the younger, thus dividing them into groups and greatly facilitating overeight by the ofliceis. Th(! assembly-room on the second floor of each de- partment building is connerted with the school-house in the rear by a coven>d bridge, and this latter is entirely given up to school purposes. Around these four department buildings are grouped an administration building, conttrning the general asseml)ly-hall of tlu! Institution, the genntinued.

The influence of these societies has been most beneficial. Frequent lectures on instructive and interesting topics are given by the teachers. Each department has a large library for the use of the pupils, supplied with a variety of the best literature suited to their years and advancement. The reading matter is further supple- mented by the efforts of the pupils themselves, who have formed reading clubs and have subscribed for the best periodical litera- ture of the day. Social reunions of the pupils of the various departments are held occasionally, when they are given an oppor- tunity of mingling with the opposite sex. In every way an effort ilil^ BENJAMIN D, PETTKNGIU.. Teacher, 1840-188^. is made to reduce the isolation inseparable from the lo&s of hear- ing and the monotony of institution life to a minimum. The industrial training afforded by the Institution constitutes an important part of its educational work. From the very establish- ment of the school instruction in various industries has been given. In the first report of the Institution (1823) it appears that provisions were made for teaching the pupils cabinet making, shoeraaking, coopering and wer ;ing. In subsequent years the trials and difficulties encountered renrlered it impossible for the; Institution to give this department of its work the attention that it deserved, but at no time was it entirely neglectod.

''' jijtii iilS' r^v> a BEgGPiption ol tl?E Buildirg?. in The building in the frontispiece, nominally one, really consists of eight, suitably connected, and was erpcted at a cost of $650,000. It is built of brick, and is elaborately trimmed with stone. The roofing is of slate, the cornice of galvanized iron, and the balconies, pillars, railing and floor, of iron. The number of bricks required was 8,000,000 ; the roof-cor- nice is 3,800 feet in length'; the gas-pipes measure two miles; the interior walls and ceilings have a surface of twelve acres, and the floor a surface of four acres. The windows number 800. The front building, 270 feet length, is surmounted by seven towers, the center one being 115 feet high the two at its side 105 feet, and the four at the corners 97 feet. The (lenter tower has been finished to tlie top, and from it, ascending by a spiral stair- case, visitors have a magnificient view of the city. This front building is divided by a hall ten feet wide, running its entire length, upon everv story, each story above the basement being fifteen feet high. The use of this building is for offices, library, hospitals, parlors, sewing and store- rooms, and chambers occupied by officers and employes. Attached to the front building are three wings, running north, all invisible in the picture, The central wing, 145 by 40 feet, is occupied by the kitchen and adjacent store-rooms, the dining-room and a chapel 23 feet in height. The two ex- terior wings i tt^nd north 115 feet, affording a hall the entire length, and adjacent rooms for baggage, clothing, washing, bathing and water-closets, Attached to these exterior wings, and extending at right angles to them, 110 feet east>nd west, are two wings 40 feet wide, called the boys' and girls' wings. These are the parts of the building visible at th^ sides of the picture. The first story is used as a play-room. The second is the sitting or study-room, and is used out of school and work hours. The two upper stories are dormitories. The very fine provision made for light and air is obvious to the eye. These side wings return by corridors to the centra! wing, which continues by the bakery and store-rooms in the basement, and by corridors in every story, to the school building in the rear. This building, 115 by 55 feet, is invisible in the cut. It is three stories high and contains twenty-five school-rooms. Still further to the rear iu a build- ing 100 feet square, from the corner of which rises the ventilating shaft, 115 feet high, and visible in the cut directly above the girls' wing. The building contains the boilers, engines and pumps for heating the main building and for supplying every part with water. A few yards west of this is a two-atory brick building 55x25 feet, containing the machinery and appliances of the laundry. At the extrerxie right of the picture ap- pears the barn. Between it and the boys' wing is seen the east end of the bindery, which is 130x.35 feet. North of this is the industrial building and ice-house, 375x22 feet in size, containing the carpenter-shop, shoe- shop, tailor-shop, printing-office and fire department.

THE Ohio Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, the fifth in the order of foundation, was in- corporated by an act of the Legislature, passed in 1827. It was the first establislied upon the idea that it is the primary duty of the State to phice within the reach of every child the means of education, whereby to become capable of discharging the duties of citizenship. This grand idea of educated citizenship was distinctly declared in the ordinance of 1787, or, as its legal title reads, "An ordinance for the government of the territory of the United States nortliwest of the Ohio River," in the follow- ing words : "Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools, iuid (he means of education, shall forever be encouraged." When the State Constitution was adopted in 1802, it contained the following provision: "Religion, morality and knowledge hehig essentially necessary to good government and the happi- ness of mankind, schools and the means of instruction shall forever be encouraged by legislative provision, not inconsistent with conscience." The opposition to State education by the "strict constructionists" was wide spread and aggressive, but the friends of the cause took firm hold of the idea, agitating it until it was developed and enacted into a law in 1825— the first hiw that authorized a general tax, to use the language of the hiw itself, "for the instruction of youth of every class and unule without distinction, in reading, writing, arithmetic and other necessary branches of a common education." The law provided for a tax of one-half of a mill to be levied by the County Commissioners upon the county duplicate for the use and maintenance of common schools. As a result of the long and bitter agitation upon the subject of education, the way was prepared for the establishment of the Institution by the Legislature. To Rev. James Hoge, D. D., more than to any other man, belongs the credit for bringing iibout the consummation. He was a prominent Presloyterian minister of Columbus. A staunch friend of popular education, 18 THK OHIO IN'STITUTIOX. lie was one of the seven commissioners a])pointed by Governor TriniMe, in 1822. to take steps looking towards a school systpni for the State. His appointment on the commission led to his interest in deaf-mute education. A letter, hearing the dati' of Jan. 3, 1822, was received by Governor Trimble from the direct- ors of the Pennsylvania Institution, established in 1m>0, describing the facilities possessed by the school and invitins; Ohio to send pupils upon the same terms charged to citizens of their own State. Among other things the letter said: "Returns of the Deaf and Dumb have been made from the different counties of the State, and what was apprehended by some is now reduced to a painful certainty — their number being found much greater tlian had ))een generally supposed. This, we presume, will prove to be the case in our sister States, consider- ing how much neglect such unfortunate persons too often sutfer, and the motive to concealment which their friends and parents find in their personal feelings, when there is no jjros- pect of giving them relief." "Had you. Sir, seen our earliest pupils at the time of their admission, and could you now see them, and compare their past with their present condition, we venture to say that you would find abundant reason for exerting your individual and oflicial influence, to obtain the means of affording to these unhapin- objects of your own State the benefits of instruction. The translation, indeed, of one of the inferior species of creation, t the human species, would be only in a degree more wonderful than we have in several instances witnessed in our scholars; and we nuiy add, as a great encouragement, that thirst for far- ther improvement, and rapidity of acipiirement, after the de- lights of knowledge are once tasted, seem to be characteristic of the Deaf and Dumb. In these respects they appear rafh(^r to have the advantage of most children blessed with the pos- session of all their senses." What wonder that these statements made a profound impres- sion upon Dr. Hoge's mind, and awoke in his heart an interest that never allowed him to rest until he had helped bring aiiout the establishment of a school for the deaf of his own State? Although the Legislature did not accept the invitation to send pupils to Philadelphia, an act was passed at t:he next sfs- sion, requiring "the listers of the several townships in fach county of the State, at the time of taking the enumeration of THE OHIO INSTITUTION. 19 whih' persons, to ascertain the number of the deaf and dumb, of nil ages, and to return said lists lo the clerk of common pleas of said county," with a statement of their pecuniary con- dition. The result of the enumeration was four hundred and twenty-eight deaf-mutes in the State, without Athens and Hamilton, the latter the most populous in the State, which made no returns. Seventy-two were reported as "in good cir- cumstances,' 06 as "in middling circumstances," 279 as "poor" and 11 were not reported. It was i)lain that there existed material enough for a school, and that but little dependence for its support could be placed upon tuition fees from parents and guardians. Dr. Hoge now saw his way clear, and In-onght the subject to the attention of Governor Morrow; and, at his siijiK'estion, the Governor inserted a strong recommendation in his message to the Legislature at the opening of the session of 182()-7, urging "the establishing of an Asylum for the education of the deaf and dumb persons in this State." On the 8th of December, 1826, the subject was referred in the House of Re])- vosentatives to a select committee of three. Dr. Hoge went Itefore the committee with an elaborate memorial, prepared by himself and signed by a large number of prominent citizens. The memorial detailed, at length, the condition of the deaf l.revious to instruction, the efforts that had been made in for- • iijii countries, and recently in our own, for their relief, and the change which education wrought in them. On the 27th, the Conuuittee reported a bill for incorporating the Institution, and it i)assed without serious opposition on January 30, 1827. Prior to the act of incorporation, two applications were made tu the Legislature for pecuniary aid in behalf of the deaf. During the session of 1819-20, a citizen of Stark county applied for State aid in sending his son to the American Asylum. A bill was reported in his favor, but there appears to have been no final action taken upon it. In the spring of 1821, an associ- ation of citizens was formed in Cincinnati, "for establishing a school for the instruction of the Deaf and Dumb in this west- ern i)art of the country." Rev. James Chute was selected and sent to the American Asylum in July to qualify himself for the work. He returned home in the following November, and the next month the Association made application to the Legislature t'oi- an act of incorporation, under the name of "The Western Asylum for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb," and for ■20 TIIK OHIO INHTITUTIOX. pecuniary aid. The application was rejected, on the grouihf that such an Institution sjiould have a central location. Mr. Chute's connection with the enterprise ceased. He was after- ward chaplain of the old Ohio Penitentiary. Before any or- ganization was efJ'ected by the act of incorporation, a school For the deaf was started in May, 1827, in Tallmadge, now in Suin- init county, Ohio. In the village was a nnui, Bradley by name, who had three deaf daughters in his family. Their condition excited the sympathy of the neighbors, and inquiry brought out the fact that there were other mutes in neighboring town- ships. A meeting of citizens was held March 19, 1827, and a resolution was adopted "to make an attempt to establish a school or asylum for the deaf and dumb." A committee was chosen, with full powers to arrange for a school, which, in the language of the Committee, "if public sentiment and benevo- lence shall justify, is intended to become a permanent institu- tion." .Mr. Colonel Sriiith, a mute who received six years' instruction in the American Asylum and had taken uj) his residence in the village, was engaged for a school term of six months, tuition to be $6. The school was supported by private charity. The sum of $100 was voted by the Legislature in 1828, for the salary of the teacher, and the same amount was granted for .the next year, "should the school in Columbus not go into active operation." Tiie latter money was not drawn from the treasury, the school having been closed. Eleven pu- pils were enrolled, most of whom afterward attended the Ohio Institution. • 150AHI) OF THl'STKES.

The Board was to exercise the usual corporate pow- ers and to hold property, the aniuuil income of which should not exceed $30,000. The first Board consisted of (>ight members, who met and organized in July, 1827. Governor Trimble was Pres- ident ex-officio; *Kev. James Hoge, D. D., Secretary, and Gusta- vus Swan. Esq., Treasurer. The number of trustees was increas- ed to twelve the next year. Until 1845 the number fluctuated between twelve and fourteen.

In 1850, the Institutions were re-6rgan- iz<'(l. being placed under separate Boards of three Trustees each, which number continued until 1878. The number has, since then, been five, the Superintendent of the Institution di.s- <'li!irging the duties of Secretary. LOCATION. The Hoard, in its first report made to the Legislature in De- cember 5, 1827, recommended that the Institution be located at Columbus for the following reasons : '•At this place it will be inider the eye, and subject to the in- si)ection of the Legislature, its immediate Patron, at all times. And the facilities of intercourse and conveyance, which are collected at this point, render it more convenient to every part of this State, and the north-western States, generally, than any other place." In accordance with this recommendation, an act was i)assed by the Legislature, in 1829, appropriating $500 for the purchase of a suitable site in Columbus. Three outlots, containingalxmt ten acres, then half a mile from the town, were bought for three hundred dollars — "a price considerably below the supposed val- ue." Dr. Hoge owned one of the lots. They are now in the heart of the city, and are w^orth over $800,000. The grounds wen^ at first, divided by interior fences and devoted mainly to the rais- inse(l by Superintendent after Superintendent down to 1864. BUILI)IN«S.

But the nimncos of tli»^ Statu were tlicii greatly absorbed in tlin construction of canals, and tlio Board was compelled to rent buildings in Columbus until jihle to build. It was not until 188-> that an ap|)ropriati()n, part of the dues arising from public sales in Cincinnati, allowed H,,. commencement of tlu^ first building which was completed fop occupancy in the fall of lK-^4. The building was fifty. fe..t l.y eighty and three stories high, costing, with a barn "and out". buildings, ij! 1 o,()00. It was designed to accommodate from sixty to eighty pupils, and was thought to be sufficiently large to nu^et the wants of the Institution for nniny years to come, lint in 1845. th(^ attendance of over a hundred necessitated the addj. tion ()f a wing to the south side, seventy feet by thirty and four stories high. The Institution had now accommodations for one hundred and fifty pupils ; but before the lapse of another decacb the want of more room was sorely felt, and from that time on the Board, in its annual reports, bombarded the Legislature upon the necessity of acUlitional buildings. In the spring of 18(i4, although the State was going through the throes of the Civil War, the Legislature, on account of tLj dilapidated condition of the original building which was described in public prints as "an uncomely relic of modern antiquity," i)assed mianimously a bill; providing for the erec- tion of a new house, "to be of plain and substantial construc- tion, having special adai^tation and proper economy for the convenient and suitable accomnu)dation of three hundred and fifty pupils and necessary officers and si^rvants." The Governor, instead of the Board, was empowered to carry out the pro\ i.s- ions of the act. The ground was broken on the 80th of June. 1804, in the rear of the old building, and the middle of the fol- lowing autumn witnessed the laying of the corner-stone. In the spring of 1867, while the new housi^ was still in ])rocess of construction, an epidemic, which proved to be typhoid fever, broke out, claiming for its victims five of the pupils. The school was immediately disbanded to arrest the advancing progress of the epidemic. To use the language of the Institu- tion i)hysician : "The probable cause of this epidemic— added to the prevalent bad influence of [the] season, [and] the int-^r- ruptioli of the already defective ventilation of the old building by the construction of the new building and all its extensive TMK OHIO INaTlTUTIOX. 28 ixciivntions — wuH the temporary ohstruction of the sewer in the rear of the huihliiig."

"2.

The first appropriation of money made to the Institution by the Legislature in 1827-8 was drawn from the "Literary Fund."

In 1848, tin- ap- point meiii of a Steward was made. The Hoard's rejjort says: "The appointment seems to [)erfect the domestic arraiigeiiients. by releasing the Su|)erintendent from the duties of providing for the family, which had become arduous, and enabling him to direct his attention to many of the general matters of tln' establishment on which its respectability and usefulness (Icpi'iid.

The Board recomiueiuled altering the plan for the better l»y giving the Steward a salary, which was accordingly done, with the requirement of tiling a bond for the faithful discharge of li duties. Jn 1880, the Steward was allowed the service clerk in his office', and in 1884, the office of Storekeei created.

The report for 188(5 says: "Of the original plan "t the Institution, however, one part, and that a very important part, yet remains to be acted upon in a way that will be ade- qmitr to the advantages which it i>roposes.

The second is, to contract with inecliau- ic9 of proper character, to instruct the ])upils, and nuuiiige the business chiefiy. if Hot wholly, with their own capital, and for their own benefit, giving the labor of those whom they teach during a fixed numb(M- of lumrs every day, as their remuneratidii for time and expense. In either way it will be necessary that work shojis shall be erected, implenu>nts furnished, and [xTliaps materials to some amount provided by the Asylum in advance: but in the former case, to a much larger extent than the latter. For this reason, and because it will jirobably secure other advan- tag(>s, it is thought that tlu' latter ])lan is to ))e jireferred. If mechanical business is carried on })y hiring workmen, and pro- viding all materials, it will be, in all probability, a losing busi- ness every year. But if responsible mechanics will nuinage tln' whole arrangement for their own interest, the pui)ils will lie trained, and no loss l)e iiunu'n-d." In 1888, the Board was enabled to (U'ect a work shop, twonty feet by sixty and two stories high, and it was intended to Ix^giii several mechanical trades as soon as practicable. It wuh re- solved b}' the Board that the most economical plan would he td "provide tools, and if necessary, make some advance fur mate- rials aiul contract with mechanics to instruct the pupils and manage the business at their own expense and for their own advantage, receiving the labor of the ))oys as their compen- sation." "A committee was appointed to carry this plan into effect." According to the report for 1840, the a.bove plan had not THK OHIO INSTITUTION, 29 pn.v.Ml a success "on account of tlio difficulty of finding me- ,|ianl<'s willing to engage in such business;" and although con- tnicl- had been made with several men, a beginning had only licii made in shoemaking.

Th<' Trustees, however, were not discouraged, for they say: "Th.' first opi)ortunity of enlarging these operati their labor i)rofitable to "themselves. This th.y failed to do, and they were also annoyed by the thought- less waste of material. The relations between fonmien and hoys were sometimes moiv violent than would have been neces- sary had the form(>r been better able to communicate with their mure apprentices. Alutual dislike, changes, and a degree of uiipopiihuMty clouded the enterprise, and. as the room soon '■aine to be greatly needed for other important uses, trades, as such, were reluctantly dropj)ed." It was not until mm that shoemaking was resumed, and the prohleiuof trade teaching was satisfactorily solved by placing Mr. V. P. Pratt, a skilled deaf-n)ut<'. in charge of the shop and on asalary. "the State owning all the nniterials and disposing of iill products." The shop is still under the numagement of the same foreman, who has a kiuick of making shoemakers out of Ins hoys. Since 1S<)(), with the introduction of the necessary 'nachinery in the shop, the factory system has been successfully tautrht. ill addition to bench work, and it emibles the boys to '.!itniii a ready entree into the factories in the cities.

The growth of Hie school has been steady. as the following figures will show. One hundred and fifty-thivc pupils were enrolled during the first decade from 1829 to 1880 ■ 251, from 1889 to 1849; 291, from 1849 to 1859; 855, from Js5i) to 1869; ()70. from 1809 to 1879; 574, from 1879 to 188'.) ; and 229, since 1889. Twenty-five hundred and twenty-three haw received instruction in the school since its opening in 1829.

I allude particularly to portrait and landscai)e painting, designing, linear drawing, and engraving; not that they should all be taught, but whether a selection could not 1)'e iiiadH from them very advantageously." To quote from the re- port for 1844: "We had two courses of lessons given last year in drawing. It was thought a very creditable beginning, particu- larly taking into consideration the circumstances, under which th.y w.Te given, the aggr(>gate anumntof time devoted to them, and the early hour of the morning which was thus occupied. I >^"uld resp.'ctfully recommend that th(^se lessons be contiinied, at su.d, times as would be convenient, and to such as manifest ii talent in this way, not, however to interfere with any existing studies or employments in the Asylum." For the past fifty years no decide.! ntep has been t.'iken in regard to instruction in art. Ill INLI, a cabinet of minerals was begun for the purpose of 82 THK OHIO INSTITl'TION. "practical utility in ilhistniling instruction,'" and it received, from time to time, valuahlc additions in shells, rare coins aiul scientific ai)i)aratus. In IWIH, a larg(> room was devoted tn its \i>i(' with the expectation of enlarging its usefulness, hut the room was diverted t'o other uses in hSHl, niid the specimens aiul ai)paratus l)e;'am(> ornaments of the Library. The Superintendent's rei)()rt for 1851 suyfl : "A heginniiiff has been made in forming a Cabinet of Common Things\ such as seeds, licpiids, specimens of cloth, and small articles of even- description, which may be preserved in phials, or boxes, or placed on shelves. These, properly labeled, can Ix* shown to the younger pupils, and they can easily learn their names. Knewl- edge derived rrom the sight of an object is more perfect tliaii it can l)e from a mere sign. Their taste will also be cultivated hv examining th(se productions of natiu'e and art, and a desire will be excited to enlarge their sphere of knowledge l)y ac([uiring the names of other things." The phial ])lan was revived in ISSI. ))Ut it has never been carried on to a very satisfactory extent. The report for 1851 also says: "An Institution Library has l)een commenced, embracing reading Itooks adapted to the vari- ous ca])acities of the ])upils, from the youngest to the most ad- vanced. These are divided into Branch Libraries, and, for the present, are placed under the direction of the Teachers, in their school-rooms, for the use of their respective classes." The libra- ry continued to grow in size, and in 1868 a large room was set apart for its particular use. It reached the number of nearly three thousand volumes by 1879; fjut not nuu'h has been dene in the way of increasing it since then. Since 1882 the juvenile Ixiaks have lieen kept in the study-rooms within easy access of the pupils. The report for 1851 also says: "A gynuiasium, to attract the pupils to engage daily in healthful exercises, has been erected on the playground, and j)romises to be of especial benefit in theab- Kence of workshops and other excitants to a healthy activity." This was supi)lemented by an excellent gymnasium in the i)uild- ing erected in 1856 for sh>)ps. It was kept up until 1868, when it had to give way to the shoeshop. In 1881, another effort ftti a gynnuisium was made in the boys' play-room ; but it was aban- doned after a short trial tor several reasons. In 1890, a gym- nasium was revived in the advanced boys' study-room, but after a few months" trial, it was deemed desiraV)le to restore the mom THK OHIO INSTITUTION. 33 to. its original purpose. This year a lady of experience has been i;iviii- the ehildren daily instruction in Physical Culture in the ^rjrls |)lay-rooin. Intil 1851 the Superintendent himself preached two .sermons (.11 Sundays in the chapel, one in the morning and the other in tl..- afternoon. From 1852 to 1866 the Sui)erintendent preached 111 the morning and the teachers took turns in C(mducting the aft.Tiioon lecture. From 1868 to 1879 the Superintendent pivachcd a morning and an afternoon sermon. Since 1880 the Superintendent or the Principal and the teachers have rotated ill cniiducting the morning service in the chapel. From 18-n) to 18(38 the pupils attended a church in the city after the morning service at the Institution. Since 1869 a Sunday School in the afternoon has been in operation. Ill the year 1866 the lengthening of the term of pupilage to ten years justified the establishment of a "high class " Ir 187-^ tlies<-hool was reorganized, being divided bv department' lines' ii pniiiary, a grammar, a scientific, or academic, as it is now' ••ailed, consisting of four, three and three years respectively At pivsent the primary dei)artment consists of five grades- the' s^nminiar departm.Mit, of two, and the acad.Miiic department of two. At the time <,f the above reorganization, the salaries' of the teachers weiv fixed according to departments. The Ohio school was thus the first to abolish the discrimination mad^ be- tween the hearing and the deaf teachers in regard to salaries liitil 1867 the teachers took turns in supervising during the study hour m the evenings and mornings. With the advent of th'' .-hops the morning study hour was disc(mtinued. In 1880 the teachers were relieved of study duty, it being assigned tJ two teachers on each side of the house with extra pay This policy was abandoned in 1889, and now, as before, each teacher takes Ins turn at study duty. Candles gave pla6e to oil in 1846 i!'"l Oil. to gas in 1854. Since 1874 the Institution has been turmshed with gas by the Penitentiary free of charge; but the 'I'lality has at times been so unsatisfactory for the purposes of evening study, that electric light is being agitated with a good prospect of success in the near future.

To avoid monotony, as will be seen by examin- ing the calendar, the school and shop hours of all the classes change on the first day of each month.

ThiH system has proved very satisfactory, and has been ad- hered to ever since its adoption, with good result*. In the early days of the school, from the first^ articulation was taught incidentally to those pupils whose speech enabled them to profit by it. In 1869, a systematic etfort was made in oral work. The Superintendent's report for that year says: "The teaching of articulation to semi-mutes, of whom we have a class of thirty-one, has been pursued through the year, the meth(xl being to carry forward the regular exercises of the' day by oral speech, where intelligible, having recourse to signs only when obliged to. The two teachers employed— one a lady— have labored patiently, faithfully and aptly." The next year this plan was given up for that of "giving instruction in articula- tion and lip-reading, by a teacher experienced and skillful, to semi-nuites and any others who may desire it, neither attempt- 86 THK OHIO INSTITUTION. iiig nor (k'siriiiff to limit tiicin to oral and written speech in the ac([ui»ition of the weveral hrant'liew of fjjeneral education." Tins latter ])lan has since heen adhered to, and this year tliree teachers are eni])loyed in the work. It seems that in the early days of the school there was no fixed rule observed respecting the age for the admission of pupilg. The Superintendent's report for 1858, in touching on this sub- ject, says ; "The course of instruction which must be followed to impart to a deaf-mute a knowledge of language, recjuires con- siderable maturity of mind, as well as jmwer of application on the part of the pupil. If the child is sent to this Institution before this maturity is attained, the first years of instruction are not only lost, but great labor and care is imposed on the teacher. The age of twelve is regarded by experienced instruct- ors as the most favorable for commencing education, as by that time there is usually some maturity of mind, as well as of phys- ical health, and the p.tipil is prepared to nnike the most rapid advancement. It is much better for the pupils and for the In- stitution to admit none under the age of ten and generally 'to discourage their admission until they reach the maturity of twelve. This course has accordingly been generally pursuvd." From 1854 to 18()5, applicants were required to be "between the ages of twelve and twenty years;" from 186(3 to 1872, "between ten and twenty years;" from 1878 to 1880, "between six and twenty-one years," and since 1881, "between eight and twenty one years." - Since 1891 a printed "Course of Study" has been in use in all the classes*except the articulation classes. Since 1868, graduating exercises have been held at the close of the school year in .June. The exercises consist of recitations, essays, orations, the presentation of diplomas, and the plantiiig of the class ivy ; in consequence of the latter custom, the front walls of the Institution are almost covered with ivy. Diplomas are given to those who complete the full course of study; and certificates of honorable discharge, to those who reach' the ten-year limit without completing the prescribed course of study, and to those whose advancement does not justify promotion to the grammar department. "Graduation Day" is always one of -interest, and the chapel is yearly thronged with the parents* and friends of the pupils, and others interested in our work. In 1881, our chapel stage was remodeled. It has a working THK OHIO INHTITrTION. 87 ni|.!icitv' (,f iu>arly 1,000 sqiiarH fent. The front part, nxtoiuiing alxMit twelve feet from th(* foot-li^'lits, is (Miclo.stul in a eliaiicel- l)ox scene, sufficiently cominodioiis for purposes of daily wor- ship and evening lecture. The 8|)ace between this and tlie stage background furnishes safe and convenient storage for our Hcenery and stage fittings, which are the work of a practical scenic artist. Since 1881 the platform in the chapel has been decorati'd every Sunday morning with flowers or a Horal design made by cur florist. For this pleasure we are indebted to Matthew Russell, a wealthy gentleman, who left a legacy of !j!20,0(M) to the Institution. This sum was reduced by litigation and com- promise to $lO,8(iH, which came into the possession of the Insti- tution in 1879. It was decided by the Board of, .Trustees to erect a conservatory with a part of the money, and work was cniniuenced in the spring of 1880. When ci)mpleted it wan christened the Rus.s(*ll Conservatory. The central structure is twenty-six feet square and thirty feet high. The wings on either Hide are each 2()xL>2 feet. The following year an annex, 50x22 feet, was built in the rear of the main con.servatory, with a (l()iiu>. twenty-one feet square. Later a propagating house, 50x11 feel, was built, and a rose house, ()()x20 feet. In 188(5, after the conservivtory was finished, the renuiinder of the Russell fund was used to construct a bronzed iron f(mntain in front of the nmin building; costing, with the foundation and the iron fence around it, $1,172.77. The health of the school has been excellent in the past sixty- three years. Forty-two pupils died during atteiulance, three by drowning and two on the railroad. The majority brought with them the seeds of disease from their summer vacation, succumb- ing to them. The first death occurred in 1848, fourteen years after the ()])ening of school in 1829.

The interest of the occasion was enhanced by the presence of Governor R. B. Hayes, General Kent Jarvis, President of the Bqard of Trustees, Rev. Collins Stone, Princi- pal of the American Asylum, Dr. Harvey P. Feet, President of the New York Institution, Hon. L. J. Dudley, of Northampton, Mass., Rev. Dr. Brown, of Pittsburg, Pa., and Rev. Dr. Byers' Secretary of the State Board of Charities. It was through the earnest efforts of Dr. G. 0. Fay that the Association was estab- lished upon a firm foundation. The Association holds its re- unions triennialiy at, the Institution by invitation of the Board of Trustees. They continue three days, the first two being devoted to business and the last one to religious services and a farewell meeting, at which the*older members give reminiscences of their school days. One of the most interesting features of the reunions is an industrial exposition, at which all the articles exhibited are the products of the members. Premiums are awarded for the best articles exhibited. At the Eighth Reunion, held in September. 1892, the Association assumed the responsi- bility of gathering a fund for the proposed Home for the aged and infirm deaf of the State.

Here is iuHorted the letter of Colonel Boiling to Mr. Tyler, tlic letter so freely drawn upon above. Mr. Tyler conc^ludes liis letter to the Southern Churchman as follows : 'I'lio details (,'iven by Col. nolling respecting his brothers and sister are iiitcrcstiiif,' ill themselves, and peculiarly so. as giving, so far as we know, the earliest instance of American deaf-mutes recieiving an education. JOS. D. TYLER. From what I can learn, I am of the opinion that Braidwood's mctliods diftered, in a good many respects, from those intro- duced into America a few years later by the Rev. Thomas H. Gal- laudet. A member of the present (1893) corps of teachers in the Virginia Institution, Mr. Hartwell M. Chamberlayne, a former pupil of this Institution, and also of the New York Institution, iuforms me .that he knew, many years ago, three of Braid- wood's Manchester pupils, and that they did not seem to him to be nearly so well educated as others who had been taught in the American schools of later date. This may have been the result of the methods employed in their education, the pupils in (juestion may not have been naturally intelligent, or, what is still more likely, their teacher may not have been at his best while they were under his instruction. Mr. Chamberlayne also knew one of the sons of Colonel Boiling, with whom he had many conversations. He was both brighter and seemed l)etter educated than the pupils of the Manchester {sic) school. The signs used by all of these pupils of Braidwood differed in some respects, so Mr. Chamberlayne says, from those now in use among the deaf in America— the Hartford signs— but not so iiiiiterially as to prevent his talking freely with those who used them. Dr. Lewis Chamberlayne, of Richmond, Va., father of the {gentleman mentioned above, had an older son— a deaf-mute— whom he sent to tho American Asylum about the year ISSfJ. In 1837, our Mr. Chamberlayne, the second deaf-mute child in 6 The Virginia Institution. the family of Dr. Lewis Cliamberlayne, was born, and the fatlior then, for the first time, seriously took into consideration the subject of getting a State school for the deaf established iu Virginia. In pursuance of this idea, during the winter of 1837-8, while the legislature for that year was in session, lie induced Mr. Barnard (subsequently president of Columl)iji College), then a teacher in the New York Institution, to come to Eichmond, bringing with him several pui^ils of the New York school. Mr. Barnard made several exhibitions of these children- some in the State capitol, some in other suitable buildings in the city. At these exhibitions most, if not all, of the memljcrs of the legislature were present and evinced their approval of them by the substantial evidence of passing the act of March 31, 1838, which was the first actual step looking toward the establishment of the present Institution. It is an interestiuo- fact in connection with the visit of these children to Kichmoud that one of them was Miss Elizabeth Budd, who afterwards became the wife of the Eev. Thomas Gallaudet, lately rector of St. Ann's Churcli in New York and the founder of the Church Mission to the Deaf. The Hon. Alexander H. H. Stuart, of Staunton, was a mem- ber of this legislature, and was, with his colleague from Augusta county, Mr. D. W. Patterson, so active in support of the act of establishment that he was named a member of the first board of visitors. An additional act, passed March 27, 1839, provided that the Institution should be located "in Staunton, or within three miles thereof," and the sum of twenty thousand dollars was appropriated for " procuring a site and for erecting suitable buildings thereon.'" Ten thousand dollars of this appropriation w^as to be ex- pended annually. In addition to this the same bill included an appropriation of ten thousand dollars ^je/*(/WM!iiig November 30, 1839. Two days later the second pupil was registered. November 20, 1839, Mr. Tyler repovtrd that a teacher was needed in the deaf-mute department, and "Job Turner, a 8 The Virghiia Institution. pupil of the Hartford Asylum, was appointed " the first teacj.er of the deaf in the Virginia Institution. Mr. Turner, aftor a service in the Institution of nearly forty years' duration, retiic'l from the profession and has since devoted his talents and energy to the work of a missionary to the deaf of the Souili, under the auspices of Saint Ann's Mission. In this work hj is still (February 10, 1893) engaged, and the vigor of Lis appearance gives ground for the hope that he may long con- tinue in it. So the Virginia Institution for the Education of the Deaf THOMAS K. DOYLE. and Dumb and of the BUnd (it has always been a dual Insti- tution) was launched. Since November 30, 1839, six hundred and eighty-three deaf- mute children have been received within its walls. During the four years of the civil war its buildings were used by the Confederate States authorities as a military hospital, but the school was continued, making use of the buildings of the Virginia Female Institute in Staunton. Grass-grown furrows and ditches on the lawn in front of the main drive are still plainly to be seen, marking the site of the tents in which convalescent soldiers lived during those troublouf, times. The Vlrghua Inst'iuiion. ]?y reason of this double removal from and back to the buiklitigs many of the archives of the school were lost, and it is iuijiossible, almost, at this day to give a complete history of niiniy interesting transactions. Since 1839 the Institution has received but one legacy, that of five hundred dollars from the late John J. Goodson, of Norfolk, Va., from the proceeds of wliich the Goodson Gazette (printed and published by the pr.pils of the Institution) takes its name. The five acres of laud donated for a site by Mr. Bell was given in 1839. By reference to the code of Virginia (ed. 1887) I find that s/jec«a7 appropriations to the amount of one hundred and thirteen tliousand nine hundred and twenty-one dollars and six cents (!i:;ll3.921.06) have been made by the legislature for the use of the Institution. The most of this money was expended for buildings, for repairs, for heating and lighting, etc. None of it was expended upon " salaries " or " supjjort." In addition to the amount named above as specially appro- priattMl, the regular annuities for purposes of support have amounted in the fifty-three years of the existence of the Insti- tution to the gross su':: of one million three hundred and thirty thousand dollars. A part — a comparatively very small part — of this amount (say $25,000) was expended for building purposes. Tlie remainder went for annual support. 8o we see that there has been appropriated in all, within a period of a little over fifty years, by Virginia to the education of her deaf children and her blind children the sum of one million four hundred and forty-three thousand nine hundred and twenty-one dollars and six cents ($1,443,921.06). Average for the fifty-three years, $28,878.43. As the Institution is dual, a huge part of this went to the support of the School for the Blind. There is no way that I know of now of finding out ex- actly how much went to each class. The present annual appropriation is $35,000. There are present this session ninety-two deaf children and fifty-two blind, making a total of one hundred and forty-four of both ('hisses. These are taught in seven classes, regularly graded. We have a teacher, of course, for each class. In addition there is a teacher of articulation and lip-reading, who has twenty-five pupils in her different classes. The pupils of the classes in iii'ticiilation all .'itteiid the vegulav manual classes, and go at ceiliiin hours to the teacher of articulation. 10 The Virginia Institution. There is one teacher of free-haud and crayon drawing, uid one of painting in oil. All of the girls are taught plain net .tie- work. For the boys there are shops in which are taught lli(. trades of the carpenter, the cabinet-maker, the house-painlcr, the shoemaker, the tailor, and the printer. There are two' religious services for the children on every school-day. On Sunday there is the usual service in the morning, and immtMJi- ately thereafter a Sunday-school, in which the children are taught by their regular teachers, tlie same distinction of classes being observed as prevails in the school of the week. Sunday afternoon there is a lecture by one of the teachers (in turn). There are two Christian associations among the deaf pu])ils, one for the boys and one for the girls. They hold separate meetings every Sunday night. Both of these meetings are conducted by members of the associations, and both have done and are doing much good in the school. There are two literary societies in the Institution: one, "the De I'Epee," oji the girls' side; the other, "the Goodson Literary," on the boys' side. Both hold weekly meetings. The Institution, when first organized, had two principals, coequal in authority. Dr. Jos. D. Tyler had charge of tlie deaf-mute department, Dr. J. C. M. Merilatt of the bliml department. This arrangement continued until the death of Dr. Tyler, in January, 1852, when Dr. Merilatt was chosen principal of both departments. This arrangement has been maintained to the present day. The " Virginia Association of the Deaf " was organized in Eichmond, Virginia, in the month of July, 1891, holding its initial meeting in the Hall of the House of Delegates. The second annual meeting of this association was held in the Music Hall of the Institution in August, 1882. At tbis second meeting there was a largely-increased attendance upon the part of the deaf of the State and many names of new mem- bers were added to the roll. Of this association, Mr. Jno. W. Michaels is i^esident and W. C. Hitter is secretary. Its objects are chiefly to promote the interests of the deaf of Vir- ginia in every manner possible, and a gopd start has been made in this direction. The next annual meeting will be held in July, 1893, in the city of Lynchburg.

He had charge of a small school of deaf-mutes in Indianapolis, during the winter of 184;5-'4,and it is presumed no one who then witnessed the rapid iiiiproveinent of the iiupils under his iusnaiction, will be disposed to dmibtthe extent or throughness of his qualilicationsas a teacher. The reipiisite prejiaratory arrangement having been previously made, the Asylum went into operation on the first Monday of last October. Fourteen imjiils were present at the commencement of the session. Two liave since been added, making sixteen in all; which is the inimber now connected with the Institution. Of these I is from Carroll county. 1 is front Fayette county. 1 is from Vermillion county. 1 is from Kandolph county. 1 is from Clarke county. ) is from Dearborn county. III r (i 1 is from Monroe county. 2 are from Henry county. 2 are from Marion county. 2 are from Bartholomew county and 3 are from Tippecanoe county. Tlie Trustees are iiai)i)y to be able to say, that tlii'y regard the Asvliiin as having opened witii the most cheering prospects; and, that under the smiles of a kind Providence, iu)tliing but the continued ('ountenaiicc and liberality of the J.egishiture will l)e necessary tv) insure its perunuient success. An institution so benevolent in its design, certaii.ly 'Vserves to be regarded with the warmest interest and solicitude by ail friends of jm. inanity. No i>ortion of tlie community lias stronger claims on tiie syni- l)atiiy. or stands more in need of the fostering care of the commonwealtli than tlie deaf uid ut It is unnecessary to urge upon your honorable body the claimsdfa cause, which former assemblies have espoused with a zeal that dnrs hon- or to the state: and the importance of which we know you will not tail to appreciate. We, therefore, close this reiiort. by respectfully r commeiidiiig that. with a view of promoting the more extensive usefulness of the Asyiinn, the jiresent assessment for its lieiudit uf two mills on tlu; hundred ddllars be raised to one cent on the hundred dollars. This would alfdid a siim sutlicieiit to enable the Hoard of Trustees to admit, free of charge, all in- digent pujiils who might wish for the present to be received into the In- stitution whereas, nith the limited means now at the command (d liif Trustees, many such applications must be refused. JiCt it be borne in mind that the parents and friends of those deaf-mutes, who would wi.sli to enjoy the advantages of the Asylum, are, with comparatively few ex- ceptions, in indigent circumstances -and it seems hard that they should be shut out from the Institution for the want of means, when solightan assessment as one cent on the hundred dollars woiUd put them in posses sion of its privileges without exjiense. We would lurther recommend that the house and lot which have been rented for the present use of the Asylum, be made its permanent property by purchase, provided they can be obtained on just and equit- able terms. It will be perceived from section 11 of the act above referred to, that it devolves upon the House of Itepresentatives to choose, during their lilt sfiit st'ssion, live trustees ill lit'ii of those appointed at tlie last (;eii- ,.i;il Assembly.

It is estimated that of the revenue thus paid, the proper proportion collected on this account, was about .^2,122.75, which, after deducting the amount paid to AVilliam Willard, by autliGrity of joint resolution, .'^l,lti8.75, would leave in the state Treasury of i\m *' md about 35(54. The Prustees in cr itiiig the expenses above mentioned, have antici- pated this fund as v.ell m that to be collected, with the revenue of the present year; and have had some advances from the State Treasury, (as ai)peared to be contemplated by the law organizing the Institution, and ludispensably necessary to carry their plans into effect), leaving the principal portion of said expenses yet to be met, relying upon the present N 8 General Assembly to make such uppropriation as will meet all expendi- tares and ()l)lij,'ati()ns incurred by the 'I'rustees.

A board of incorporating trustees <'()ii^ sisting of nine members.was ai)pointed January 15, 1844, and at once proceeded to organize the '-Indiana Asylum for Deaf and Dumb." yu; AVillard, who had performed such miglity work, was naturally and justly the chief ollicer with title of principal, and under the new arrangement the lirst session was commenced October 1st, 1844, in rented quarters, "a large and commodious building with pleasure grounds of suHicient extent to afford the pupils ample opportuntiy for exercise and recreation," the same having lieen obtained at a rental of $m) per year. Tiie number of pupils starting in was sixteen, coming from the following counties. IJartholomew, 2; Henry, 1; Carroll, 1; Marion, 2; Clarke, 2; .Momae.l; Dearborn, 1; Randolph, 1; Fayette, 1; Tippecanoe, 3; A'ermillion, I. The members of the incorporating IJoard of Trustees were His Excd- loncy James Whitcomb, Jioyal Mayhew, Esq., Hon. John H. Thom))son, Rev. Henry Ward lieocher, Rev. Phincas I). (Jurley, Rev. Love Jameson! Livingston Dunlop, M. I)., Hon. James Morrison and Rev. Pres. Matt- hew Simpson. The question of a permanent location was left open, and the Governor was authorized to receive propositions on the subject. .Mr. Willard was allowed a compensation from tiie commencement of iiis school. It has been usual to date the origin of the Institution from October 1. 1844, because it was then formally taken under the control of tiie State. It had really been in successful operation for a year previously, audits history really dates from October, 1848. It had been contemplated from the first, to ultimately appoint a Prin- cipal who could hear, and speak. This intention was carried out, in June, 184(), by tiie Hpi>ointment of .Tames S. Riowii, his duties to com- mence on the 1st of August following. The highly valued services of :Mr. Willard were continued in the capacity of an assistant. The school remained in its first quarters until October 1st, 184t), when the number of pupils pressing for admission became so great steps were taken to procure larger and more commodious quarters. On October 1st, 184(1, the school was opened in a large three-story building of impos- ing appearance and for which a rental of >t^A)() per year was jiaid. A permanent location not having been agreed upon, a warm contest now sprang up between various parts of the State as to who should have the location, the rivalry principally being between Bloomington and Indian- apolis. The citizens of the former place made an offer of a donation in land and casli amounting to nearly .'iii4,(KH)'and the commissioners of the county agreed to appropriate as revenue to the Institution one cent on each one hundred dollars' worth of real and personal property within tiie county. The superintendent at the time, Mr. .I-mes Rrown, entered into quite an extensive correspondence with the heads of other similar insti- tutions in tiie Tnited States, concerning the location, and laid the same before the Committee of Education to which the question had been re- ferred. They finally decided not to accepr the liberal offer of JMooniing- 13 toil, and tliereupon located the Institution at Indianapolis because ot^its bfiii«- till! capital, a railroad center accessible from all parts of the State, and fm- otiier good and sullicient reasons. At this same session of the General Assembly steps were taken for the imrcliiiHe of ii site, and the board of trustees, after diligent and careful scaiTli, selected the present location, eighty-four acres being purchased atlirst and subsequently thirty-eight additional, the whole costing mm This land is now all held by the Institution, save eighteen acres thiit were transferred to the Indiana Female Reformatory in IHtiO, and ciie-(|uarterof an acre transferred to the C, St. L. ct P. K. K. in 1883.- Tlie balance of the land originally acquired is now valued at 8 27(5,000 The wisdom of the selection could not have been greater, for a more de- sirable location, all things considered, could not have been made in or amuiid Indianapolis. After securing the ground, the trustees turned their attention to build- ing, and secured an increase of the rate of taxation. Trevionsly, at the sessionof the (lener.il Assembly of 1814-5, the assessment was' raised from two to live mills on each hundred dollars' worth of property in the State, it was now raised from live to fifteen mills. This was to provide for tlie erection of the permanent buildings. :M()ney sutficient was ob- tained and buildings with a capacity of !()(> to 175 were at once erected and were ready for occupancy October 2nd, 1850. During the school year ]ivevi()us the number of pupils in attendance was 125, but during the lirst year ni the new building the number increased to 141. Thus f'airly started, the school tlu-ived and grew. Divine Providence secnuHt to smile upon it and its yearly course was constantly in advance. TliH (leaf seeking admission grew ia numbers as the State's population increased, and repairs, alterations and new buildings were added from time to time until now, in the spring of 189;i, the school boasts of accom- modations for 850 pupils; of twenty-one teachers in the intellectual and imirin the industrial departments; of 104 acres of land, valued at S:iTt;.(KHi; of buildings valued at ii?240,()(K); one of them being a large, line, WW school-house containing twenty-four school- rooms and library, ' lect- ure and art rooms. When the school was lirst opened, it was maintained upon the proceeds of a tax of two mills upon each one hundred dollars' worth of property which was voted by the (Jeneral Assembly, and which was increased' tiom time to time until, in 1852, it yielded an income of nearly $40,(X)0 jMH' year. When the State constitution was adopted in 1851, the tax was (liscoiitimied, and the support of the Institution made a direct charge upon the State Treasury, where it remains to-day. The amount appro- linated hy the (ieneral Assembly for maintenance and repairs has varied from time to time, but now amounts to !?t>5,000 aunnally. Ill t'.ie beginning pupils were charged for board and tuition, except they lilpd a certillcate setting out the fact of their poverty. This was degrad- ing and shameful and was so considered, and in a very short time the law was changed and everything made free to all those too deaf to be fthicated in the common schools. And in this liberality Indiana has the in-oiul distinction of having been the tirst State in the rnion to throw ^ 14 ope/i her education.il doors to the deaf, absolutely without cost to thcin And soit is to-day, evei-ytliing is free, tlie .State maKing lu) charge oniv re(iuirn)g tliat pupils shall pay their transportation to and tro and tui nish their own clothing and even where this cannot be done, the .State provides and charges it to the county from whence the pupil comes Mr. "WiUard served as principal two years, being succeeded by "jjn„es S. I.rown, with the title of superintendent, a man of most sterling (pial- ities, laithfulness of purj.ose and h)ve for the work. .Mr. Willard coi tinued his connection with the school, however, as a most valued in structor, for twenty years. In 1H52, Mr. IJrown resigning, the Hevereiul 1 liomas Maclntire was appointed superintendent and continued assuch lor twenty-seven years. Under him the Institution made its name and fame. He loved the school and the school loved him. 'I ogethor they kept pace, marching steadily onward and upward, i)lacing tlie banner of the Institution in lofty position, there being v^mblazoned on its folds three stars, one for laithful and loving care, one for thoroughness of educational work and one for purity. Following him came William Ulenn and Eli ]'. Baker, each serving (ive years as superintendent the latter resigning in July, ISSU. at wlr^-h time the present superintend- ent was appointed. The history of thelndiana Institution is a grand history-a history of men and women of purt^ and lofty ideas and deeds; a history of a ,'iost generous State;; a history of eighteen hundred and seventv-live boys and girls who have:entered its portals seeking light intellectually, spiritually industrially; a history of mothers and fathers who with heart-ache and sob have delivered their little ones into strange hands that tliev might be taught the way toleternal life through enlightened intellect^ a history that makes.us wish for success and happiness in future well-doing JMany of the men and women who have watched the progress with eager eyes, many ofjhe boys and giris. have passed beyond the dark river, and we teei'tis well with them because of the instruction here given" and received.

The matter of non-atteiulaiu-e is a serious evil; and one that should be remedied in some prompt, ellicient manner. The non-attendants are of twocl'jsses: Those who enter the scliool but do not remain as loujr as they might and should, and those wlio do not enter at all. So far as tiie former class is concerned, tiie records of tiie Institution show that since November I, 1884, 127 pupils have entered, remained a year or two, or more, and then dropped out without discharge, when they were entitled to longer continuance. A small y.er cent, of this number can be account- ed for by deatlis and removals from State, but f idly 8o per cent, of it must be charged np to the foolish whims of the child, or to neglect or cupidityof the parent. The following table will show this part of tlie evil at a glance: 17 ==r :z: - — •- >, 9) t. n ? < > a 1* *** % ^ ^ t :^r- ■Ti V" «A X y< 3 a rt C9 w ;j — ■ ■ — .— 1 ir. 2 •A 2 3 2 1 1 "'i' 2 1 •) 1 3 I 3 1 1 1 1 i "i i 1 1 i 2 — JLl " 11 30 Enrolled NoveTiber 1, 1884 3iy New pupils admitted since 333 1 Total pupils in eight years «i52 Discharged since November 1, 1884 258 Leaving enrolled 394 Actual attendance November 1, 1892 2fi7 .Showing "drop outs" to be 127 Tiie census of 1890, an account of which is given elsewhere, showed a total (if 1,780 deaf-mutes in the State. Of this number, (;9 were between one and six years of age, or under school age (8 to 21) at this time, and 726 were between six and twenty-one years of age. Of the 726, there were ill the school at the time, or had been previously, 298, and since 1890 115 more have been admitted, thus leaving 313 deaf-mutes in Indiana who have never been in this school at ail. If we allow 20 per cent, for errors and for these who have attended other schools for the deaf, 250 still re- main, who have never received the benelits of school trainiiig, and I re- gard tliis estimate as very low. Addhig to this number the' 127 "drop outs," we have 377, which represents the non-attendance. COMPUL8OKY EDUCATION. Tlie State supports an institution for the proper training of the deaf at great expense, not only for the good of the deaf themselves, but for the well'aie and prosperity of itself. If parents and guardians do not avail tlieniselves of advantages offered, it should certainly be the duty of the .State to step in and compel the attendance of their children, as a matter ofseir-protection. The welfare of the child must be considered more sacred tiiat tlie right of the parent to control it. TIIE SCHOOL AVOUK. At the beginning of the school year in 1890 a new course of study was arraiijrfd; the school period was re-arranged into live primary, two inteiiiiediate and tliree academic grades, eacli grade taking one' year The manner of grading was clianged, as was also the mannef of teaching Tlie upper four grades were provided with four teachers, each on special subjects, tlie claases rotating from one teacher to another. Out of 270 pupils who were in school the preceding June and who were entitled to vctuni, 141 were denied advancement because of not meriting it In short, a conii)lete revolution in school work took place, and we anxiously looked forward for results. We have not been disappointed. Close and faitlitui attention was given to the work by teachers, who had much to < ofcause of the change. Text-books during the lirst three years being (lone away with, original work had to be provided by them. History and geography took the form of evolution, and began in original work by the teaclKus, who, taking the Institution as a starting place, worked outward 'iiitii the text-book was reached. Our course ot study was termed by •■oinpoteni critics as "rather high" for our classes, but the pupils in the mam mastered it, as is shown by their better averages than under the old 18 systt'in.

AHilsnaiiK. implies, it was designed and espet-iaily arranged lor class-work in tiic Hcliool-rooms, either taking the place of or supplementing the onhiunv text-ljook, and devoted almost wholly to langmige. Six teachers' nistitntcs liave been been held during the year. At eacli meeting specially prepared i»apers have been read, which were followed by critical discussion. Kverything i)ertaining to school-roooru work has been considered, and the good resulting Iherefroni has been great. One year ago attention was called to the fact that seventeen classes were being taught by fourteen teachers, this being acconii)lishc(l by having three classes taught in the afternoon for two and a lialf lioiu's by regular morning teachers, who served without extra compensation, As this was all the instruction these classes received, tlie arrangeiiicnt was very unsatisfactory, fair to neither i)upil nor teacher. To remedy this nnitter, three new teachers have been emi)loyed. <)l!.\I,-ArU.\I, CLA.SS. In my last annual r,eport I wrote as follows: '•] am still of (.pinion that a i)nrely oral department should be started, separate and distinct from the rest of the school. While 1 believe tlnit of any given numlicv of deaf-mutes taken at random, only a minority, and, perhaps, only ii small minority can be ,s/(m',s.H/V(^/// educated by the purely oral method, which excludes signs, still, it is that minority which 1 wish to provide' for, and I think we have it at the present time in our school." It has been found impo.ssible under existing conditions to start an oral department, "separate and distinct" from the rest of the school, hut the nextcest thing iias been (ione in tiie escal)lisnmenc or an orai-auiai class. A young lady of New York, who jjo.ssesses a good knowledge of the work, has been called to take cliarg(M)f the class, and is niakinj;' a good beginning. I believe the end ui the year will demonstrate the wisdom of the -innovation." Every pupil entering scliool should be educated by this method and taught to speak, if it is possiljle to do so —it is his right: it is our duty. IJiit as .stated above, 1 believe tliis is im- practicable with the greater number it remains then for ns to ascertain who can and who cannot, be succe.ssfally educated by it. To do tliis each new pui)il should be given a fair chance for speech and eilucatioii by siieecli, llrst; afterward, education by other methods, if failure results. AVe must bear in mind that there anMh-af and semi-deaf; muteand semi- mute -that a method benelicial to one may not be to another and r/ir r, rsn^ To accomplisli the greatest good fertile greatest number, the very broad- est latitude must be allowed, and a scho(d to be successful must not he bound down to any one, or any two methods. In order to attain this success, this Institution bases its work on the following SVSTK^r OK INSTIUCTIOX, The general system of instruction under which this school works is irks is known art t .Nft'tliiiil art vi'iy iiii|Mir iiif I't'U.inh' iiit'iil:il ii|iilH lint ;irt' allu timrs iintsi( tniiniii.i;.

Sonu( of tlif teachers also use articulation and spccclireadinp, in additit-n to the iiimiiiimI alphiiliet and writing', as a means of instruction witli part of thrir pupils. A few of the pupils are taught wholly l)y the Oral Method. iiiit ,ue allowed to ininple freely with pupils from the si>fn classes at all times outside ,)f the class-room, .\ttention is also Riven to auricular tniiiiiiiif. In short, our rule is- "■Aui/ mrthod fur i/ood nuii/fK." .\uii(ii,.\ri().\ .\M» i,ii'-i!i:.U)i.\(i. Articulation and lip-readjpi,' are tanf,'ht to t'orty-seven pujills taken lioiu llie regular classes tanjjht by tlie munual method.

I believe we have here attlie IMfseiit time seventy-live or more such pupils. To give them tlie i)roper iiistniction would retiuire three teachers. We have now but tlu' one, 1111(1 1 recouimcnd that two additional shoidd be employeil. Sl'KCI.M. STriUKS. I'mler this head aro Rrouped drawing, painting, wood-carving, clay- luiKleliug, designing and physical culture. For thes.; studies we have two special teachers. Special work in jienmanship has been discontinvied, fiiHi teacher looking after )iis own class in this matter. Drawing is taught to the entire primary d'.-partment and to one grade nt'tlielnterme((iate, and jiainting (under which is included charcoal ski'tchiuK, iiastel work, and the work in oil and water colors) to the girls "t till' ac;ule;iiic department. Splendid progress lias been made in both. I'liysi( :i! culture is taught to the same classes as drawing, and has proved (juite a success. Thus, we have in tlie intellectual department seventeen regular clasu t.'Mchers, one teacher of articulation and lip-reading, one teacher for the 'inilaural class, one teacher for drawing, painting, wood-carving, etc., iind one teacher of physical culture, nuiking twenty-one in all. , ^ 20 THE INDUSTHIAL DEPARTMENT. 1 am triad to be able to state that this department is at last in most excellent condition. The improvement began in IWtl. when the LtRis lature made it j)ossible for us to abandon that "foreign growth" fm .„' industrial school-the "lease system"-^'jy making a special api.rc„riV tion of S8,()00.0(), with which we were to (it up the shops and pa\ .L,',' larly employed instructors. The lirst payment from this fund was made in August, 181U. (Since then, new machinery and other shop ai)piiunct;s have been added from time to time, in printing olliee, shoe shop and cabinet-shop, until now tiiey are in lirst-class condition. The matter of teaching trades to the deai is one of very great import- ance, and takes rank, in my estimation, with intellectual training \ cultivated mind and hand c.tn go further and do more than a cultivated muid alone. JMaimal training schools for hearing-speaking youth 'ue now being demanded everywhere, but they are not of such vital import anco to them as they are to the deaf. In sucli schools for tiie former tlm so\eium is to teach underli/inf/ prinriple, ot many trades and noc thoroughly any individual trade, while for the deaf at this Institution our aim is to not only teach the underlying principles, but to go a Ktei) further, and teacli thoroughly iaiUridual tnidrn. Instead of being called industrial schools, or schools for manual training, we should rather call ours"tradeschools," which more nearly gives the correct idea Most manual training school authorities hold that the more the shop becomes a factory, the less it is a school. With our object of individual trades in viaw, our shoi)o must necessarily become, more or less, factories ami yet are, m the highest degree, schools. The factories, however, exist as an incident of the school, and not the cause of it. It is not hoped to make any of the shops self-sustaining. They are operated simply as a means of education. Instructions have been given 10 the foremen to /ear/, the trude^^tc. have a ten-cent article made properly if it takes a dollar's wortii of material - to do otherwise will be to lose sight of tiie end for which the shop was established. The cabinet-shop as now arranged is in realitv a "school of joinery" Wherein the underlying principles of carpentry and cabinet-making are taught together, to the end that a boy, on leaving, may have a fair knowl- edge of not only one trade, but of several. Regular lessons will be givpn on the characteristics of the various woods; metl.ods of "laying Out" work; the care and use of tools; methods of mortising, sawing, planing; the making of all kinds of joints, single and in combhiation; fastening by glue, pins, nails, etc.; the cleaning and poli.shing (,f woods; painting, staining, varnishing, etc. 'I'his "school of joinery" lias been strengthened by the establishment of a fully eiiuipped "wood-turning shop." The lathe-room contains ten latest improved turning lathes of various sizes, one large scroll saw, one combination graduated steel top sawing table with rip and cut-off saws, one planer, one cross-cut saw and one wood moulding machine. In the printing otlice stands a Campbell printing i>re.ss and a Nonpareil job press, both of which .ire operated by electricity, (he power being 21 t'liriiislit'd by the electric lighting station belonging to the Institution. The Ciiuipbdl press has ii capacity of 1,800 impressions per hour. The piuaiiliernalia of the office is complete in every way. In this industry isffivt'ii instruction in book and news composition, press-work and bind- ing. As a means to\/ard the end a live-column folio weekly newspaper is published, and is '•ailed The Silent IlDoxicr. Tiie shoe-shop is designed as a "school in leather work." At the present time instruction is given mostly in boot and shoe-making. The pupils are taught to measure, cut and lit, as well as the mere making. To tiiis will be added some time in the future a series of lessons in leath- er work and otlier trades. Iiistniction is given to the girls in all kinds of house-work, in cooking, ill pliiiu and fancy needle-work, and in dress-making, cutting, titting and (Inipiiijr- 'I'he girls in the academic departmeiit are also instructed in driiwiiig, painting, modelling, designing and wood-carviug. IJoys may als(> be admitted to these classes. FINANCIAL. VVM CAPITA KXl'KNSK— MAINTKNAXCK.

It shall be the duty of teachers to make and record, monthly, a careful estimate of the work or each of their pupils in all branches' of study Tliisestimute shall be based upon the fidelity and success with which tlie pupils have done assigned work, and also upon their success in oral aiul written tests which have been employed as an element of teaching and the answers to which have not been valued numerically. It shall not be based upon daily marking of recitations, nor upon deportment iiorupon stated examinations. ]iut the teacher may keep such mem- oiaiula of pupils' work as are deemed necessary. Tliese recorded monthly estimates, teachers must average twice a year -February 1 and .June 1. The monthly estimates and the two averages must tie certified to the superintendent. TiiiHO estimates of the monthly success and progress of pupils are to be made on a scale of 30 to UK), as follows: 100, perfect; iK) excellent- HI I, very good; TO, good; (iO, tolerable; 50, poor; 40, very poor;' m and below' failure. ' Tlo' '•.-) mark' may be used to indicate in some degree the relative standing of pupils in their class, but under no circumstances must any estimate be given which is not recorded in figures a multiple of 5. It is suggested that the standard of pupils be primarily estimated as emlicnt rail ovjmor, Hiid then modified, provided the higher and lower estimates can be readily made. It shall also be the duty of the piincipal to examine, and when neces- sary, revise the teaciiers' monthly estimates of their pupils' proliciency and to iipprove the same when averaged in Februarv and .Tune He sliall give teachers such instruction and other assistance in estimating the iiroliciency and progress of tlieir pupils as will secure requisite uniformity.

CI' with the ;^8; Tennessee DeaF and Domb EcIiddI, LOCATED AT KNOXVILLE, TENN. HiSTORIC/lL^KeTCH. 1844- 18Q3. iil I ' The Tennessee Deaf and Dumb School The first legislation looking to the establishment of a school for the deaf and dumb children of Tennessee was pro- posed and persistently advocated by the late General Joha Hocke, of Grainger county, when a member of the Senator- ial \ ninch of the General Assembly of the State ; and the t'riemls of deaf-mute education in Tennessee have ever held. General Cocke in grateful remembrance as the one, above all others, to whose benevolent impluses and wise action the institution owes its existence. On the 2()th of December, 1«4:!, General Cocke secured, as: an amendment to a bill then })ending for the establish- ment of a State school for the blind at Nashville, the in- sertion of an appropriation of one thousand dollars' for put- ting in operation a school for the deaf and dumb at Knox- ville This bill passed the Senate on December 21, 1843,. and was finally passed in the House on January 29, 1844. Governor James C. Jones apjwinted Messrs. R. B. Mc- MuUen, Joseph Estabrook and D. R. McAnally to constitute the first Board of Trustees. These gentlemen met in the counting-room of Cowan & Dickinson, at Knox viHe, on July 27, 1844, and organized by the election of Rev. R. B. Mc- -Vaillen, President, and Rev. D. R. McAnally, Secretary. The President was requested to address letters to the American Asylum at Hartford, to the New York Institu tion, and to other schools, then in operation asking for inw~ formation to aid the trustees in the proper organization of the school, and he was also requested to address a circular letter to the people of Tennessee asking for information in. regard to the deaf and dumb of school age throughout the State. After considerable correspondence the Board of Trustees secured the services of Rev. Thomas Maclntire, then a ter.cher in the Ohio Institution for the Deaf and Dumb to li. ' 1'^ It 4 The Tknnessee Deaf and Dumb School. take charge of the Tennessee school, as principal and in atructor. Mr. Maclntire entered upon his duties April l.t 1845, and served the institution faithfully and satisfactorily tor five years when he resigned and returned to his home in IMno. The school was begun in rented premises in what was known as the Churchwell House, an old residence, in EuHt Knoxville. Upon assuming his duties Mr. Madntiro set U. work at once to procure needed furniture, Ac, and advertis- od the opening of the school on April 14th. Pupils arrive! slowly, but on the first Monday of June, 1845, Mr. Maclntire began the work „f instruction with a class of six pnpik fhe number in attendance soon increased to nine pupils with which the first session of the school closed on the (irst Monday of the following September. The sum of one thousand dollars realized from the origi- nal appropriation was supplemented by private subscrip- tions to the amount of about four hundred dollars, so that the money available for the expenses of the first session of the school was about fourteen hundred dollars. The succeeding legislature was urged by the Board of Trustees to make an appropriation for buildings but failed to do so. In response to the appeal of the Trustees, who had with great zeal undertaken the work of fstablishing the sch ol upon a permanent basis, the people of East Tennes- see subscribed about five thousand dollars for the erection of a building and the continuance of the school. This money was mostly contributed in sm Jl suras and was secured by the efforts of Messrs. W. G. McAdoo and J. M. Davis, agents ap- pointed by the Trustees to canvass Knox and adjoininp counties in the interest of the institution. The money thus raised was used mainly in the erection ofa th- c-story brick building twenty-five feet wide by eighty feet in length, now constituting the east wing of the main building according to the original design. Except for these special efforts on the part of the Trustees and the gener.us response of the public the school would probably have been closed indefinitely in 1846, as the building then occupied could be retained no longer and no means were available to procure other quarters without securing special private contributions. On June 8th, 1846, Calvin Morgan, Esq., of Knoxville, Thk Tknnessee Deaf and Dumb School,. 5 generously donated to the school two acrea of land situated immediately west of the limits of the town at that time, but now in the heart of the city. Six years later, June 25, 1852, the Trustees purchased from the estnte of Mr. Morgan, for two thousand dollars, three and a half acres of land adjoining the original lot on the north and eiii^t, andon May 21, 1858, two and a half acres additicmal were purchased on the west for five thousand eight hundred dollars making the present premises coniala eight acres, the total cost of which has been seven thousand eight hundred dollars. The grounds of the institution front toward the south on Asylum street, being bounded on the north by Vine street and lying between Locust street 00 the east and Broad •street on the west. The premises are kept in good order, with flower gardens, walks, and shaded lawns on the east, south and west, with boys' play ground and out-buildings on the north. The main building is fifty by ow hundred feet having three stories and an attic. It was erected in 1848. the corner stone having been laid with interesting public ceremonies on the 13th of May of that year. Among other publications lately received from the family of the first principal, Mr. Mac- lotire, was a pamphlet, printed by James C. *nd John L. Moses, at the office of the Knoxville Register, giving an ac- count of the proceedings at the laying of this corner-stone with the address of Rev. Thomas W Humes on that occasion- As evidencing the public interest in the school at that time it may n t be inappropriate to give here a part of the account of the exercises. "The corner-stone of the main edifice of the Tennessee Insti- tution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, at Knoxville. was laid on Saturday, M,.y 13th, 1848, by Mt. Libanus Lodge, No. 59, of Free Mmons" A procession was formed in the following order: Mt. Libanus Lodge of Free Masons. Clergy. Trustees of the Deaf and Dumb Institution. . Teachers. Pupils. East Tennessee Division of the Sons of Temperance. University Division. 6 The TENNEssfeK Dbaf and Dumb School. Trustees of East Tennessee Univerfiity. President and Faculty. Students. Young Men's Literary Society. Mayor and Aldermen of Knoxville. Citizens. A fervent prayer was offered by Rev. W. E. G. Cunning ham. Chaplain ol the Lodge. The ceromouios of laying the corner-stone were conducted by B. R. Strong, W. M • James W. CampHoll, «, W., and Josepn L. King, J. W. The exer- ciseb closed with the singing of an ode by the Lodge after 11 most appropriate and eloquent address by Rev. Thomas W, Humes. This main building has a wide cornice with high Corin- thian c;olumns, and though not of the present style of architecture is «|uite a handsome and imposing structure it being, to many minds, more attractive than the more recent additions of modern style. Probably the first consi.leraMe use, for outsid«^ work, of white Tennessee marble which has lately become so famous as a building stone and i )r monu- mental purposes, was in the construction of th marble stairs at the front of the main building erected forty-five years ago. There was of this marble work about one thou- sand cubic feet, and it was thought by some persortsatthat time to be an extravagant expenditure of money, but with scarcely any repairs or care the work stands to-day as good us when fir-t constructed, thus demonstrating the real economy of the original large outlay. In I S52 the western wing corresponding to the one on the -ast— twenty-five by eighty feet and tnree stories high was constructed accord- ing to the original plan. Later additions have been made of a two-story chapel building forty by sixty feet, a two- story building for industrial purposes thirty by fifty feet two school-room buildings thirty-five by sixty f-et each and three stories high, a twostory building twenty-five by thir- ty feet for laundry purposes, and an eight-room frame house for principal's residence. The total iirst cost of buildings and grounds has been about one iiundred thousand dollars. The last building ereuu^d one of the school buildings mentioned above~was built in 1891, at a cost of ten tliou- The Tknnejwkk Drap ani> Dumb Schoo*,. 7 Hand dollars. An appropriation for such a building had been long needed and its necessity recognized by the mem- bers of the General Assembly, bnt, in answer to the appeal therefor, thdy had plead the straitened financial condition of the State and had put off the matter from session to ses- sion. The Trustees renewed the application to the Forty sev- enth General Assembly which convened in Nashville on the first Monday in January, 1891. and the matter was put in tiie hands of Hon. W. L Ledgerwood, Representative from Knox county. The growth of the school had made an additional building a necessity, but the committees having recommended that no special appropriations be made for any purpose of the kind and other efforts having 'won al- ready killed in the Legislature, it seemed as though there was little hope of securing what at least nine tenths of the members had decided could not be then granted ; but on the last day of the session Mr. Ledgerwood left a sick-bed and went to the House and, in committee of the whole on the appropriation bill, he secured an amendment giving the institution ten thousand dollars for this building by an earuost and eloquent appeal which entitles Mr. Ledger- wood to be held with General Cocke, the author of the leg- islation establishing the school, as one of its truest friends and chief benefactors.

The original act of the C neral Assembly of 1844 under which the school was estal ished, was superseded by an act passed January 31, 1846, b^ which it waa enacted, "That the Institution for the instruction of the Deaf and Dumb now in existence and operation in the town of Knoxville be and is hereby incorporated under the name and style of the Tennessee Deaf and Dumb School under the control and management of a Board of Trustees composed of the follow^ ing six gentlemen : vi- Rev. R. B. McMulleu, Rev. D. R. Mc.Vnally, Joseph Estabrook, Rev. T. Sullins, James H. Cowan and Campbell Wallace, and their successors in of- fice." The three original trustees were ret-ainfid by ^bis act and three others added.

The State and the School have been fortunate in the character, ability and zeal of the men who have constituted the Board. They have been, from the beginning of the institution, uniformly, representatives of the best element of the business and professional men of the community Ihev have served without any compensation whatever and without cost to the State in the way of expenses. This ser- vice has been rendered cheerfully, and with a fidelity and punctuality seldom known in any body of men so constitut- ed. The members of this Board have esteemed it a hi^^h privilege to thus serve humanity and God and they have done^conscientious, e*cient work in behalf of the State and tx^eaeafaiKl dumb chiidieu of Tennessee.

Maintenance. The institution has no endowment l\ind and is supportfd wiiolly by the State ot'Tenuessee. After the appropriation of'one thousand dollars to found the school and maintain it the first year, the Legislature appropriated twei>ty-five hundred dollars per annum (or the next two years for sup- port, and five thousand dollars annually thereafter for sever- al years, special appropriation being made from time t . lime for buildings and improvements. The Legislature of 1857 passed an act appropriating two hundred dollars annually for each "pauper mule" in the State attending the school This law required a certificate tu the effect that the parents of children seeking admission, as state pupils were paupers, and this humiliating require- im-nt kept many children at home who should have entered the school. In I860 this provision was modified so that the Trustees could admit children as State, or free, pupils when satisfied of the inability of parents to pay for their maintenance at school. In 1877 all requirements as to payment were stricken out of the laws governing the admission of pupils, and the school was made free to all deaf children in the State regardless of the financial ability of parents, or their poverty. This was but a recognition of the principle of common jus- tice that all the children of the State were entitled to an education, and ought not to be debarred therefrom by deaf- ness or poverty. The change has proven greatly to the ad- vantage of the deaf and dumb of the State. It has worked well in the managenaent of the school by abolishing the spirit of caste which will grow up in any school composed in pan of pay pupils, and it has added but little to the cost of the in- stitution to the State. In 1866 the General Assembly passed a law giving to the school five thousand dollars annually, in addition to the per capita allowance, and the institution was supported under 10 The Tennessee Deaf ani> Dumb School. these laws for many years; but uader the present laws i,, Tennessee as to appropriations, specified sums are appro- priated biennially for the maintenance of tbe school upoo estimates of the Trustees. The estimate for current expeas^s for the next two years, is twenty-eight thousand five hundred dollars per annum. ji i Colored Department. In October, 1881, a separate school for colored deaf and dumb children was begun in East Knoxville in rented premi- ses vt-ry near the spot where the school for white children had been organized thirty-six years before. The department for colored children is und'^r the same gen- eral management as the department for white children. la 1885, upon application of the Board of Trustees, the Leg- islature appropriated five thousand, five hundred dollars to purchase grounds and buildings for the colored department -then offered at that price. These premises were situated two miles east of Knoxville and contained twenty-s^ven acres of land, well adapted to the purposes of the school, with com- modious and comfortable brick buildings formerly occupied as a country home and costing originally largely more than the price at which the entire premises were secured. An additional outlay of thirty-five hundred dollars has provided sufficient accommodations for the present needs of this department in which there are now twenty-six pupils. Attendance. The total enrollment of both departments of the institu- tion for the present session is one hundred and seventy— the largest in its history. Since the organi.^ation of the school, seven hundred and seventy-six pupils have been un- der instruction. Five sessions were lost on account of the suspension dur- ing the civil war. There were sixteen sessions previous to the suspension with the following attendance by terras: 9, 10, 15, 22, 22, 26, 21, 31, 44, 64, 59, 60, 70, 58, 57,55. Since the reorganization there have been twenty-seven sessions with an attendance as follows : The Tennksske Deaf and Dumb Schooi,. n 3i), 58, 74, 78, 102, 115. V% 128, 132, 133, 110, 103, 107, 108 m, 119, 115, 116, 128, 136, 129, 129. 130, 154, 158, 164, 170. ' The age of admission is eight years and the term of in- struction is eight years. The average terra of attendance has been about five years. Methods of Instruction. The sign or manual method of instruction in use at Hart- ford and in the other American Schools in 1845 was adopted by Mr. Maclntire at the beginning of the work in the Ten- nessee School, and this system was followed exclusively for many years. Under the management of Mr. Ijams, semi-mutes and others who seemed most capable of receiving such instruc- tion were taught orally by the principal and by hearing teachers in connection with their manual work. In 1880 a regular teacher of articulation was employed, and since thai time oral work has been systematically pursued, it being the purpose to conform, a9 nearly as practicable, to the ap- proved methods of the combined system as defined by the Convention of American Instructors of the Deaf. At present about one hundred pupils are taught in part by the manual method and ia part orally, the remainder being instructed by the manual method exclusively. Industrial Trainingr. Early in the history of the school instructiou in shoe- making and cabinet-making was begun and continued sat- isfiictorily until the suspension of the school in 1861. After the receranization, printing was substituted for cabmet-making and now the trades taught are printing and shoe-making. A serai-monthly paper, "The Silent Observer," now in it» seventeenth volume, is issued from the printing oflBce. In the shoe-shop the mending of shoes for all the pupils IS done, indigent children are furnished with shoes, and the surplus product is generally sold in exchange for coal. Many ex-pupils throughout the State who learned these trades in the school are earning comfortable support a» shoe-makers and printers. 11 12 The Tennessee Deaf and Dumb School. Efforts are now being made by the Trustees to secure means to enlarge the industrial department and to increase the number of trades taught. Joseph H., Ijams, the sixth principal of the school, was called to take charge of the institution at a critical period of its history. He proved to be fully equal to the emer- gency ; and to his intelligent and untiring labors is largely due the prosperity of the school since its reorganization in 1866. In June, 1861, the sixteenth session of the school was clos- ed about two weeks earlier than had been contemplated on account of the excitement then existing because of the civil war which had begun some two months before. The ques- tion of reopening the school in the following fall was held in abeyance by the Board of Trustees until August 3, 18(51, when the school was suspended indefinitely and the services of all teachers'and officers dispensed with. From this time until September, 1865, the premises were in the hands of the contending armies. They were first oc- cupied by the Confederate soldiers for about two years, and then by the Federal army for about the same length of time. The buildings were used for hospital purposes and the grounds as a camp. All books, papers, furniture, Ac. were appropriated or destroyed, and only such things re- mained as were too heavy to be carried away a.id so strong as not to be easily broken, and these were in a terrible state of dilapidation and filth. Of a fine forest only four oaks, a hickory, and a cherry were left standing. General Burnsides' northern line of the fortifications of the city had extended through the grounds from Locust street to Broad street, and the entire premises afforded a striking object lesson of the desolations of war. In May, 1866, the work of restoring the buildings and grounds was begun by the Trustees and steps taken by them looking to the reorganization of the school. This work was pursued diligently during the summer of 1866, and in Octo beroPthat year Mr. Ijams was called to the principiilshii, of the institution. He accepted the position and tlie fal- lowing month entered with enthusiasm upon the arduous I The Tennessee Deaf and Dumb School. 13 task of reorganizing and rebuilding the institution. His success was marked and rapid. The school was reopened December 3, 1866, Thirty nine pupils were enrolled the first session with an increased attendance each succeeding term for ten years, more than one hundred pupils being re- ceived the fifth session. After sixteen years of most faith- ful and honored service Mr, Ijams died, on December 24th, 1882, universally loved and lamented. The present princi- pal. Thomas L. Moses, who had taught in the school under Mr. Ijams for ten years preceding 1880, when he had retir- ed to engage in business, was called to take charge of the school January 1st, 1883. He accepted the position and has served the institution as principal since that time. Soon after the opening of the school in 1845, Mr. Macln- tire found the services of a school-room assistant neceseiry, and Mr. Charles W. Myers, of Ohio, an educated deaf-mute,' was chosen to be the first assistant teacher of the institution. lessful away Mr. Myers proved to be a most acceptable and teacher, but his labors were soon ended.

On April 6th, 1890, the pupils of the school and the deaf- mutes living in KnoxviUe and vicinity, with some of the teachers and officers of the institution, organized a society which they called The Tennessee Deaf-Mute Helpers. The primary object of the organization was to raise money to aid iMrs. Mills in the establishment of schools for the daaf in China, and it has been maintained for the purpose of extend- lug help wherevex i field for such work should be presented. The practical application of the missionary idea was to many of the members of the society a new revelation. The think- ing on the things of others, of the blessings which they themselves enjoy and of which thousand of others know nothing, seems to have given a new pleaasure and to have made them realize in its fnHaess the truth, "It is more bless- ed to give than to receive." In some of the voluntary contributions and work of the liiHiibersof the society, have been manifested some touching and beautiful instances of loving self-sacrifice. The effect of tills society upon pupils and others nas been most salutary, be- ic helpful to the members of the society and to the institu- Min as well. The society holds monthly meetings in the chapel of the in- stitution on the second Sabbath of each month, when a lecture 18 given and a collection taken, III connection with this society, a sewing-circle has been or- w The Tbnnessek Deaf and Dumb School. w ganized called The Samuel Boyd Workers, in memory of nn honored member of the Board of Trustees for thirty years and a life-long friend of the deaf.

GOODWIN, Advisory Suferhtfeudent of the North Carolina School. 'I UIV] NORTH CAROLINA INSTITUTION FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB AND THE BLIND. In 1843 the question of eHtahliHliing a school for educating t\w deaf and dumb was agitated. Mr. W. D. Cooke, of Virginia, ciuiie to the State the same year and went into several counties yiving exhibitions of the manner of teaching the deaf and dumb. Governor Morehead urged the establishment by the State (.f such an institution. On January 12, 1845, a bill entitled '• An act to provide for the education and maintenance of poor and indigent deaf-mutes and blind persons in the State " was passed. The sum of |5,000 annually was appropriated. The act placed this fund under the supervision of the " president and directors of the ^:brary board." The board was composed of His Excellency Governor Graham, ex officio, president of the board, and Weston R. Gales, David Stone, Charles Manly, and R. S. Myers. The board secured a building on Hillsboro street, and the school was organized by the appointment of Wm. D. Cooke, A. M., principal. On the first day of May, 1845, the school opened with seven pupils, and during the session seventeen entered. NOllIH CAltOHNA INSTITUTION FOIl THE DEAF ANI> DUMB AND THE BLIND. At the session of the general assembly of North Carolina in 1847 an act was passed to provide for the erection of a suit- iible building for the comfortable accommodations of deaf- iniitc.s and blind persons in th" State. The act appropriated only .$5,000, but provided that the suri)lus out of the annual iippiopriations, amounting to ten thousand ($10,000), be placed in the hands of the board. li The North Carolina Inxfitntum.

A costly piss was sold to a foundry as "old iron." The same press was after- wards inuvhased from the foundry and is now in use in one of the leading printing houses of the c-ity. It appears that the board thought It unjust for the deaf to compete against the printing houses and thereby take some of the public i)atroiiage ot the State printer. " In 1877 Mr. H. A.

It might not be out of place for North Carolina also to claim Mr. J A Tillinghast, now in the Colorado Institution. The colored department has furnished teachers to the South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas Institutions. In 1868 the general assembly made provisions for the edu cation of the colored deaf and dumb and blind children of the State. North Carolina was the first State to provide an insti tution for the colored race. The colored department opened on the 4th of January, 18G9, with 26 pupils. Mr. John J Turner was in charge of this department for one session, when Mr. Z. W. Hayne^ was elected. He taught in this department for twenty years, and was removed to the white department in 1890. The Institution for the Colored is a commodious, well ar- ranged building, more suitable for its purpose than the build- ings for the white department.

The School is located at Morganton, in Burke County This l(><-ation is just east of the Blue Bidge, and is surrounded on tbree sides by the mountains, and commands good views of South Mountains, Table Bock, and Grandfather Mountains. The first brick in the building was laid by two deaf children, Maggie LeGrand and Bobert Miller, May 16, 1892. The building, designed by A. G. Bauer, architect, is a brick structure, three stories high (above basement), and is two ImnJred and fifty-six feet long, contains one hundred and fifty looms, and will accommodate three hundred children. The building is modelled after the "Advanced " building of tl.e Pennsylvania Listitution. It will be furnished with modern appliances and equipments. The Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind at Raleigh has had very limited facilities for educating the deaf ••aiiug for less than one hundred white mutes, with uerhaps tour hundred growing up in ignorance in the State.

At the recent session of the general assembly a stringent i;iw^\vas passed recpiiring professional experience in the train- ing and management of deaf-mutes for eligibility to the su- piriiitendency of the School.

Alexander Selki.-k on the island of Junn Fernandez was scarcely nioie solitary than is an uneducated deaf person. The eonso quence ,s that his ceaselcs. unintelIio.e„t introspection with the many taunts he receives, in time hrin^s him to the N.-r^e of lunacy, ferocity or hrutishness.

In this connection' there 18 but one cause of re-ret, which is that the na.ne of Hon Or vilie H Browning- does not appear. Xo na.ne might more fit- tingly l^ye appeared. B„t the act was drawn by Judge Brown- ing, and the modesty that accompanies me.-it caused him, while naming others to omit himself. Stra.ige that some one did not move to insert his name in the bill; but though never a(.tively and officially connected with the institution, he never ceased ti entertain for it the liveliest interest as was manifested bv his sending to it valuable public documents while he remai,,;.! in pnbhc life, and by his earnest inquiries concerning its work until h.s earthly career terminated. Judge Browning's complete dis- interestedness in the subject is manifested by his naming an- other place for the location of the institution than the citv of his own residence. The best and n.ost convenient location "was the one he desired, and as ,lacksonvilie seemed in those ,lavg preceding railroads) to combine most advantages, he nain^d that city m the act, only stipulating that the citizens should provide a site comprising not of less than five acres of land The omission of his name is the more to be regretted since we may hope that had he been one of the Board of Directors seven .years would not have elaj.sed before the school would have been opened for j)upils as was the case On tiK. 29th of June, iSm, a majority of the directors named .n the Act of Incorporation met in Jacksonville an.l proceeded to organize.

He was continued in the Presidency of the Board as Ion- as he remained a ,„eniber of It. His interest in the institution continued to the close of his life. One of the last acts of his life was on his death-bed to send for the superintendent of the institution and talk with him upon matters connected with the institution. Col. Dunlap was a man who devised liberal things and undertook laro-e enterprises There have been but few, if any, more public spirited (nti/ens in Illinois than Col. James Dunla]>, With such men as have been named in the Board of Directors^ It seem, strange to us at this distance of time that two vears and a half elapsed before a site had been secured for the Insti- tution, and that seven years should pass before any denf-mutes had been admitted to its halls, or any instruction given them and then to only four pupils. But it is due to the good men ot those times to remember that the grand scheme of internal improvements which had been inaugurated in 1835 had col- lapi-ed, leaving the state overwhelmed with debt, its bonds and ■state warrants far below par. and hard times prevailing \vith a severity of which the active generation of to-day have no knowl. edge. The first and uppermost thought of the (citizen then was; to extinguish the debt of the state, and of the peo])le to secni-f^ their homes. It is also true that a great system of State In- stitutions, such as now form so important a part of every State ^^overnment, was then unknown. This was the first institution established by the State for the .ili.'viation of misfortune, and ui)on it fell the task of arousino- tl..' public mind to the ]»ractical)ility and importance of public IxMi.-McieiKv, ami of the extent of tli." demand foi-'it. as well as tiK' unavoidable outlay necessary in its prosecution. Institu- tions for the education of the deaf and dumb have this distinc- tum in almost all States of tli.. union. The American Asylum (for the education of the deaf and dumb) at Hartford, Connecti- nit, opened in 1817. was the precursor of all those great insti- tutions for the Deaf and Dumb, the Blind, the Insane and the Feeble-Minded, that form so large a department of the oovern- ment of all the States of the Union, for whose support, in some States, more than half of the public expenditure is mad.'. In view ot these tu.-ts it is „ot at all ntran^-e tliat, in the third deca.l.. of th.s eenturv, and only twenty yea,-.s after the first . «titut,on had been established in the old nnd well peopled east that a new an.l y<,nno. State shonid proceed in a n.anner tlu.t now seems t^ us, in the li,,.* of seventy years' experience, quito H ow. But, thou,-h the progress of the first few years wa slow It wns deternuned. That such a humane work shonid be eo ' meneed innuediately on its sno-^^estion, , hou^Hi at a time of most d.stress.no. h„anc,a] depression, is j^n-eatly to the credit of the men o those days. It seems to one reviewing- ,t like a turni„. away fron. the wild speculation of a few year: before, when at a histonan of the State says, "the fever of speculation rapi'dl advanced m intensity until the fever developed into mini; reason was dethroned, and the folly of inflation held high car' . niva, to the more honorable work of caring for those who" could not care for then.seives, in practical obedience to the Di vine command, "Thon shalt love thy neighbor as thvself - Oh," dience to the, Divine connnand was speedily follow;d with the blessing of Providence, and the State of Illinois at once entered upon a career of prosperity, slow indeed at first, but unren.it- ting- ,n growth and increasing in .-apidity that is the marvel of to apply to the State as well as to individuals. The State can n no more torcefnl manner acknowledge the Creator than bv beneficence to the luedy and helpless There ai-e two beneficent results accruing from the instruction o the ,lea and dumb by the body politic. First, to its subiect. who are elevated to a plane of enlightu.ent in which thev can enjoy the noblest pleasures of family ties and so.-ial life' and -•ondly, to the State wh.ch thus secures for itself intelhgent ^ -^hant ctueiis instead of ignorant dependents who, othe^vis^ for t^he term of he.r natural lives, would be an incubus upon ma iitammg Inn. tor a few years, than to care for and support him for several decades as a man but little elevated above a bi ute. ihe sum ot money expended bv the people of Illinois in the support of its Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is large in the aggregate and is easily ..omputed, but what the expendil ures by society tor Us beneficiaries would otherwise have amounted to beino-nrndein inmunerable driblets, uo onv .an con.pute with <-.Mta.nty, but certnin it is that the sun. of all these uculd far 'xceed the former. I..'t it not be supposed that between the incorporation of th.^ ...sntut.on ,n Febru.u-y, 1880, and its opening- in February, 184g' !hat the Board of Directors had been unmindful of theiVt^mt There were frequent n.eetings of the Hoard and its Prudential ( .)ninuttee during, those years. A building-, then d.-eme.l ample lor many generations, was erected and paid for. To effect this result m tin.es of financial . dep.-ession, so severe that Auditoi-'s wn. rants were sold as low as thirty ce.its on the dollar was a matter of such difficulty as the present gene.'ation knows ..oth- i.g of. when the State Treasury <,ontains a surplus, the State debt ,s all paid, and holde.-s of its bonds .-efuse to p,-esent them 0.- payn.ent. The building e.-e..ted was eighty-six feet long, fifty te.rt wide, three stories and an attic high. The wite:- has been lold that by some it was then regarded as far beyoT.d all the reqmrements of the next hundred years, and son.etin.es deris- ively style.l the State's folly, so little was the demand for such an iT.stitution understood. Not a vestige of that buihling re- .mm.ed afte.- thirty years. Could the men of that day, with prophet s ken, have looke.v were, as already seen, men eminent at the forum, in the •alls of legislation, in agriculfc ,. the pulpit and the arenas of fade. 1 hey were fully cognixa.nt of the necessity of the greatest P>u,le..ce ,n the selection of a principal whose success or fail- "'<" ni the conduct of the institnti(m would make effective or 10 paralizod nil they had thuR far done, thn.s brinn-ino. e,,vlit or n.o,-. tification to the>„. Thero is probably no position in society i„ which a man more sn.-ely requires technical skill, based nn„n years of actual ex],erience, than a European institution to assist him in his new work, did he ... tiyely enter upon it. The first instructors of the deaf and dun.h" in America were all college bred men of the most brilliant attain ments, and of ability that would, and did in some cases, achieve success and distinction in the most exalted walks of life; some m college faculties, some in diyinity, some in law, and some in authorship. No profession-for the instruction of the deaf is as truly a profession as law, medicine, theology or art-was eyer maugurated by a bettor class of men or style of mind than was this. Its prest.ne dignity it has maintained as well as any other prmession. That some indiyiduals haye be. n impropeHy a.l- mitted to it is not to be denied. Still more regretful is the fact that there haye been foisted upon it some incompetent and un- suitable persons as a reward of party service. But this has not .n any case, been by the influence of members of the profession' but in spite of them. Repeatedly has the high-toned and expert' instructor felt the tinge of shame an.l indignation when he has seen h.s loved and honoral.le professicm made a shuttle-cock to be bandied back and forth by party heelers as though it was legitimate party spoils. If the -boodler" could be of some .n- vice the case would not bo so shameful, but he not only can .lo nothing in his new sphere, but he is actually an obstacle .ho ran only strut around, hold down an ofhVe chair ami draw a salary he has not earne.l. To .lirect the b-mefactions of a ..eu- eroiis people, appropriated by them for a noble pnr,,ose to .si,..!, nse, lacks but little, if any, of the es.scntial spirit of knave, v .unl robbery, even though it is done un.l.,- the forms of law ^ K is impossible to conceive of anything more absurd than to pLuv m charge of a company of youth, to direct their morals, niun- ners, instruction, and look afte,- their welfare, one who cannot even ask after their ailments in sickness, or give them a word 11 of .-...nfort In trouble. ThiH ini.juity, it is due to say, has not oti-M been practiced anywhere, and never in connection witli tliis institution. The Hoard of Trustees have from the first recooni.ed and aet.Ml upon the principle that so sacred a work as superintend- ino- such an mstitntion should be entrusted onlv to one who was versed in the work of instructinc^ the deaf, who could com- ...unicate with thein in their own lan^ruajre since thev cannot use ours. Hefore the buildiug. was ready for occupancy the Board had appointed a committee to seek for a thorouohly competent man to take charge of the new institution at its opening. Extensive (•orresi.ondence was opened with institutions in other States will. th(> result that Mr. Thomas Officer, who five vears preced- ing luid been engaged as a teacher in the Ohio institution was elected principal. It is quite surprising that the records of the l5oard and the reports of the institution make very little refer mice to Mr. Officer. So far as they are concerned it would only appear that he was employed at a meagre salary, and after a period of nine years withdrew from the institution The .vriter as his successor and from some personal acquaintance, and trom inciuiry of his coadjutors and comrades both in the Ohio an<] in this institution is prepared to say that the Board made a most happy and fortunate selection for their first principal Mr. ()ffi,-er was well posted in his profession to which he was an ornament, was a good teacher, a fine executive, with pleasant ^ivnial bearing, eminently becomiim' the Christian gentleman! He had an urbane anffi<^or was elected secretarv of the Board "nninff the school, notice of which was published in the newspapers thi-ou^-liont the State The (Jay for openino- oanif; but no deaf-mutes came with it. M-. (•ordinoly, Mr. Officei- started out on a search for them. In t'le course of several weeks twelve w(>re found whose parents i)ioni. ised to send them, but at the des -nated time they failed to put 111 an appearance. However, by the last of Jai.uarv, 1840, lour had reached the institution, and in the month of Febriinrv sev.Mi years after the passao-e of the bill establishing' the insti- tution, it beo-an its noble work. Accessions to the number of pupils were made durinj.- the next sprino- so that durin- tli. first term the're were nine deaf-mutes admitted. Tiiis se^^ns to m now a small beoinnino'. but other institutions had before this been opened with small nund)ers; the American Asvlum with but six; the Pennsylvania with seven; the Ohio Institution with three, only six more duriiio- its entire first vear; the Tennessee Institution with nine, and the Indiana Institution with six Hence tlie directors, nothing' daunted, sent out on a tour of search the superintendent durino- the summer vacation. His sue- cess in securino- promise s of attendance were so encouraoi„p. ,1,.,! an additional teacher was employed for the new term whidi was to open on the 17th of September. Durino' tlie fall and early winter there were five accessions, so that in its second term fourteen pupils were enrolled, some being- quite tardy in their arrival. In tlieir report made at this time, December, 184C, the directors state to ths (;eneral Assembly that if the means to complete the building' were-su])])lie(l they could also admit the deaf-mutes of Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas and Wisconsin to a participation in its advantages. Ivxcept Arkansas, all of these States did, in a few years, send deaf children to this institution for instruction. A regulation that seriously impeded the «-rowth of the institu- tion in its early history was one which had a similar paralyz- ing effect on institutions in other States, namelv. a provisioii 18 th.t miuimlparentHofdmf ..l.ikh-en who ,-„„l.l not eonin.-nul il.r .noauH to pay for tlu'ir tuition and l.oanl to n.ako an '.ffi -hnitto that effect before a justice of the p.-ace wh.> .shouhl then certify to that fact. In reco.nn.endin^- the rer.eal of thin proviHion the director, say: "The only effect in requirino- thene .c(.h.'ate«, HO far as we can see, is to deprive n.any of those wlH. are actually too poor to pny for the advantaj-es of the institution.

"In the Mccomplishment of this object, shops are an indisp.-,. sable requisite. Without them it would be im])08sible to furnish many of the pupils with re-ular employment, and besides, their energy should, as far as practicable, be directed to the accjuire- ment of some useful occupation The aim and purpose of ev.'ry institution for the deaf and dumb should be to prepare the pupds Ml every respect-physically as well as mentallv and morally-for becoming good and useful citizens, supportino themselves l)y their own exertions, without being dependent upon the community at large or their friends. To this end not only should industrious habits be formed, but opportunity should be given for acquiring practical knowledge and skill in souie honest and useful calling. An institution which makes no such provision fails to dis.-harge an important duty which it owes to the deaf and dumb. For, howvver, good their educa- tion may be in other respects when they go forth from the in- stitution, unless they have also acquired some considerable knowledge of a trade, experience proves that few tradesmen will take the })ains necessary to impart that knowledge to them The difficulty does not arise from any want of aptness on the part of the deaf and nuity is proverbial; but it arises solelv from the in- convenienc«« which necessarily attends the communication of Ideas on the part of those unacquainted with the sign language This makes it important that trades be taught them at the in- stitution, where, through the medium of their own natural lan- guage, instruction in mechanics can b<> imparted to them as readily as any other kind of instruction. "As there is the saim. diversity of talent and taste among mutes as among hearing and speaking peo])le, it is important that several trades be established at the institution. Those who cannot succeed in one trade may be found to excel in another, and it would be well to give thorn an cpportunity to make a selection from several pursuits." 19 1.1 tiieii- fourtli report the directors made two important ro- commendations to tlie General Assembly, which, by an act ap proved February B, 1849, were carried into effect.

(Wllett having' .seen some of these sporadic ca.ses of women temporarily engaged in instruciting deaf-mutes, and beliinino that as teachers of childi-en none are supei-ior to women, in orgam'zing a cori)s of insti-uction api)ointed a woman upon it as a I'cgiilar and p<'rma,nent tea(!her. This has been followed hy .similar appointnients in this and all the other institutions of America, until now more than two-thirds of the teachers of deaf-mutes in .Vmerica are women. It is urged by eminent au- thority thatiin this the profession had deterioi'ated, but no one has yet shown that the work accomplished i'>. the scliool rooms of the institutions for the deaf and dumb is at all inferior to that of forty years ago. It is believed to be bettei-. In select- ing women for instructors the same governing principles were recognized as in selectinj.- ukmi, that they should have a collcoo education or its equivalent. On this subject, in his fii-st report to the Board of l)ire(;tois. the principal insisted. In the orgfui- ization of an institution nothing is of greater imi)ortance liuiii to secure persons of superior attainments to fill the offices of the intellectual and its cognate departments, and to make their sit- uations permanent. ^'No person is qualified for a situation in a deaf mute institution wluM;ould not succeed in any profession, especially one whicli depended mainly on pul)lic spealiing; nor will the ordinary duties admit of taking men worn out in other pro- fessions; nowhere does a drone succeed moi-e jjoorly t haii teach- ing the deaf and dumb.

At tliat time there was a {reneral .lisbelief in the practicability of teach- ing the feeble-minded, thou-h in the East.M-n States a few insti- tutions for this class were advocate.l by the most .-autious and conservative citizens as a wise measure of political economy as well as a public duty. In this report (the eighth), Mr. tiillett stated: "It will certainly be a proud day for Illinois when she can boast of institutions whose blessinos. like the rains and dews, the air and sunshine, are festooned alike ui)on all h..,- un- fortunates." This subject was presented from time to time till the legislature, in 18(55, was induced to make an appropriation for an experimental school for feebl(^mirided .'hildren, which was conducted by the trustees and principal of the Institution for the Deat and Dumb until it was established upon the sun..- iu- dependent basis as the other State institutions.

The subject became more neri- ous untd It threatened the life of the in.stitulion. Tn the earlv wniter of 1870 the Board of Directors decided to (.onHtruCt a water-works plant on a ntream known as "The lirook " a mile south of the institution, und pun.p the water therefroln to the reservoir they had alrendy built. It would have been winer had they abandoned that reservoir and (constructed a new one on the uo-h o,.ound over which the water was pumped from the brook. This plan would have ever after plarod tlie water in the Imildinf.- by o,.avity and saved the perpetual labor of pumping It. llns was appreciated at the time, but, havinji- as a dernier resort assumed the authority of constructing: the water-works the Board of T,-ustees, influenced by a desire to make the small- est possible outlay, contiiun-d the use of the old reservoir The wuter-works were not finish..! until midwinter, the pipe bein.- laid 1.1 trenches, duR- throu-h hard, frozen firound, much of the way the frost being- .Iriven out of the ground bv fires along the .lie where it was proposed to lay the pipes and the foundation for the pump and boiler house. This proved successful and had the ettect not only to relieve the institution from its distress but demonstrated to the public the practicabilitv of securing a sup- 1 .V ot water for the city of Jacksonville upon the same general plan. Hut a few years later the city constructed a svstem of water.works for its own use, from which the institution has since •secured its supj.ly of water, favorable terms having been oUered upon which this service would be reiidei-ed.

As one who understands several languag-es will use the one which j.leases and aids him most, so the deaf ,m. son will use such class of sigr.s as is most satisfactory to him Signs made with the hands and arms, aided by the countenance" being more perspicuous and often ideographic, the deaf person' If le t to himself, will almost universally adopt. Hence it is that children who lose hearing after speech has been acquired cease to talk and will not resume it until special efforts are taken to induce them to do so. To impart speech to one who does not hear, or for such an one to acquire speech, is one of the most difficult undertakings to which a human being can address him- self, for he possesses only half of the organ of speech since the organ of hearing is as important an element in speech as the organ of voice. There is no speech of any race of men independ- ent of the sense of hearing. In that large class of persons commonly known in community as deaf-mutes, there are several divisions, whose conditions aii quite unlike; 1st, those whose deafness is congenital, or super- vened before speech had been learned; 2d, those whose deafness was acquired after they had learned to talk but at so early an age that their memory of speech is indistinct; Sd, those \vho became deaf so late that they retain a distinct recollection of speech; 4th, those whose deafness is only partial. The third and fourth of these divisions can, with comparative ease, use yo.al utterance, though the fourth experience much less difficulty in reading the lip signs of others. Many of the second and a'few of the hrst division can learn to speak, though all of the first and second divisions experience difficulty in reading the lip-sjon^' of others. Just which members of these classes will be succL- ful articulators and lir.-readers no one can know until an onnor- tunity IS given all of them to test their ability. In the year 1868 classes in articulation and lip-reading were orgamVcd in this institution, and have been continued to the present time. The practice of the institution is to test all pupils who ar. ad- mitted, to learn who give promise of .succ.«8s in the.se classo«, .tnd continue such in them during their continuance in the institution. 3 home ^eet w,th v«,v gratifvi,,;,. „u„«« while ,,them but poorly ' "y "«' g-'eat labor involved i„ their iu»tri«;t>on.

Thi.s department of the institution has been conthnionHly ex- e,ided until there are now eio-ht instructors whose sole duty is to teach articulation and lip-reading AS this was the first of the State institutions of Illinois, which have become so numerous, and whose support involves so lar^e an expenditure in recent years, comprising more than half the an- nnal expenditures provided for by the General Assembly it will not be a matter of surprise that there have been a number of chanK-es m tlu> law governing its suppor. and management, llie act o incorporation approved February 23, 1839, empow ered the directors, twenty in number, to fill all vacancies in then- own body whether occurring by death, resignation or ...wise. The Board exercised this prerogati;e until the ^ei: 1849, when by an act approved February 3 the number of di- rectors was reduced to twelve, to be appointed by the governor 0, he term of two years exclusive of the principal, who was to ontmue a director, with the provision that vacancies occurring CmZ '''l''T'^' appointments made by the governor shou W be hlled by the Board of Directors themselves.

That there have been sharp differences between the officers of this institution and the Board of Charities upon the wisdom of proposed policies and animated discussions upon them is true, but, as should al' ways be the case with high minded men after the questions at issue were settled and the "smoke of the contest had clearer! away," no personal animosities remained, and the general «rood had been advanced. All the operations of both the boards have been conducted with a view upon the part of each to do the best possible. The pleasant working of this system, so far as this institution is concerned, has been largely due to the fact that the members of both boards were men of honor, entirely above infiuehce of partisan or personal considerations. Only men of such character are suitable for such trusts. The State of Illinois may be congratulated that its executives have so wisely exercised their appointive power. The subject of a library for the use of the pupils and the offi. cers of the institution received no attention worth naming in the first years of its existence. Some regard was had to it in the second decade of the institution, but it was not until the vear 1870 that the subject was systematically and energeticallv t-iken in hand. At every session of the General Assembly since that the subject has been presented, with an application for a small appropriation to be used in this way. It is a pleasure to say that this has met with the most ready and heartv approval of every session of that honorable body. An annual appropriation of five hundred dollars, for the purchase of books and repairs of the old and worn ones, has been made. A judicious use of the money, with the trade discounts, has brought together a col- lection of over thirteen thousand volumes, which are among the best productions of ancient and modern times. The greatest care has been exercised in the selection of these books to secure 37 rhr works of the best authors. The departments of history povtry, fiction, travel, science, biography, and art, vvitli tlie best en. ych)])e(has and other books of reference are each quite full Xotl.ing tends more to give an institution a good uplift than a oood library. Its influence is not ephemeral but far reaching attcctmg the taste and habits of the pupils to the remotest per 10.1 oi their lives, keeping them upon a higher plane than they would, without it, ever have attained. The love of good books IS one of the most ennobling traits than any one can possess bub tor a deaf person it is of far greater importance than to any other person. "^ Sin.'c the commencement of the school there have been two ihousand, two hundred and fifty-five pupils enrolled, of whom one thousand, two hundred and eighty seven ure males, and nine hnn.lred and sixty-eight are females. They were members of two thousand and seven families. In one family there were six deaf mutes. In seven families there were four deaf mutes In fifty four families there were three deaf mutes. In one hundred and fifteen families there were two deaf mutes. In one thousand ei-ht hundred and twenty-nine families there was one deaf-mute Though there are, doubtless, some of whom the fact has not l)oen learned, yet one hundred and ten of the Dupils enrolled have been reported as the off-spring of parents of consanguineous oi'igin as follows: 79 children of first cousins. 12 children of second cousins, 1 1 children of third cousins. H children of fourth cousins. I the grandchild of first cousins. 1 the child of uncle and niece, it is worthy of note that in families where tlie parents were first cousins in one case there were four deaf-mutes; in three cases there were three deaf-mutes; in seven cases there were two deaf-mutes. In families where the parents were second cousins m one case there were three deaf-mutes: and in one there were two deai-mutes.

By WESLEY O. CONNOR, Principal of the School. tui'( cou the Lui reji No^ est< mal deb pri] Ha by his one aiife visi no ban to V tioi fav( the] the fift( fael nir THE GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF. In the year 1833 a memorial was presented to the legisla- ture of Georgia, by John J. Flournoy, a semi-mute, of Jackson county, praying for the establishment of an institution for the education of the deaf and dumb. This memorial was referred to the Governor, Hon. Wilson Lumpkin, with a request that he obtain full information and rejiort to the next meeting of the general assembly ; so in November, 1834, the Governor, who had become much inter- ested in the subject, laid before the legislature all the infor- mation he had secured, expressing himself as particularly in- debted to Governor Fort, of Connecticut, and to Lewis Weld, principal of the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, at Hartford, Connecticut. In the latter part of the year 1834, Mr. Weld, accompanied by two deaf-mutes, Edmund Booth, of Massachusetts, one of his assistant teachers, and Thomas S. Perkins, of Connecticut, one of his pupils, who was then a lad of about twelve years of age, visited the capital of Georgia, and Mr. AVeld says of this visit : We reiicliecl Milledgeville on the thirteenth of December, and I lost no time in introducing myself and my pxipils to Governor Lumpkin. The Governor rtjceived me and my pupils with marked affability and kindness, and e.xpressed himself as much gratified that we had come on without waiting for his letter, which he sent for to the post-office and handed me himself. He informed me that the committee of the Senate to whom my communication of last September had been referred, with other deaf and dumb documents from here and from other places, had made a report and offered cirtain I'esolutions jiroviding for the educa- tion of the indigent deaf-mutes of Georgia: that this rep(n-t had l)een favorably received and, though not acted on at all in the lower house, there was reason to hope it might pass in both, especially if a favorable impression should be nuide by an exhibition of my pupils. * * * The impression produced by my pupils was evidently very favorable before their public exhibition. This took place on Monday evening, the fifteenth, in the llepresentative room, and was, I believe, very satis- factory. The board of directors of the American Asylum, in their nineteenth report, use this language : The reception of our delegation by the executive and legislature of Georgia was also very gratifying to the board, and particularly the pas- The Georgia Sc/iool. sage of the liberal and benevolent act above referred to (appropriatiurr three thousand dollars), which took place before the close of the session. While they are thun trying the experiment of educating them abroail, they will have the opportunity of deciding, on data which must be constantly accumulating, whether it is best to establish a Southern Institution. On Saturday, December 20, 1834, Hon. John W. Burney, of Jasper county, introduced into the House of Representatives a series of resolutions, prescribing the method by which to carry into effect the purposes sought to be attained by the above-mentioned appropriation, which were immediately agreed to, and the llev. Elijah E. Sinclair was, under these resolu- tions, the first commissioner appointed by Govei-nor Lumpkin, in March, 1835, to gather up and convey to the American Asylum, at Hartford, Connecticut, the deaf-mutes of Georgia. He was faithful and zealous in this Avork ; was reappointed successively by Governors Schley and Gilmer, and was pub- licly complimented by the legislature for his efficiency and in- tegrity. He travelled extensively over the State searching for deaf-mutes, but he succeeded in inducing only a few to accei)t the beneficence of the State. This office was filled in succes- sion by Rev. S. G. Hillyer and Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, both efficient officers. The number of deaf-mutes who were sent to the American 1835 Asylum for education was as follows : In ie site for the erection of the necesHary buihlingH for an inHtitii- tion, which was effected by tlie piucliasj', from the truHtees of the Hearu Manual Labor School, of a lot of eiylit and Hix-tentlin acres, for which two hundred and tifty two dolhu-H was paid.

From the premises a tine view is hud of Van's vallej' and its picturestjue scenery. The valley is named for Dave Van, a sub- chief of the Cherokees, and is one of the most beautiful and fertile in North Georgia. A plan for a building was procured and ado2)ted which at ^ T/ie Geort/la School . tlip tituSc-tr^ U.

The Georgia Ssliool. 13 Mr. William D. Cooke, principal for Bixteen years of the North Carolina Institution, was elected to fill the jiosition of principal, which he accepted, entering upon his duties the first of September, 1860 ; the steward, with the assistance of the teachers, in the meantime, carrying on the school to its close on the list Wednesday in June. In June, 18G1, Mr. W. O. Connor, having resigned his posi- tion as teacher, took leave of the Institution and of his friends to enter the Confederate service as a private soldier. Later in the year Mr. J. S. Davis resigned for the same purpose, and thus the Institution was left without a male teacher. When the trustees met, the latter part of June, a committee of one, Mr. W. R. Webster, was sent to the camp of instruction at Big Shanty, at which Mr. Connor was drilling, to see if he could be prevailed upon to return to the service of the Insti- tution, as he was more needed there than in the field ; but he declined to return, although it was intimated to him by this committee that a vacancy in the position of principal was probable, in which case it would be open to him as a bomb- proof place under the State government for the war. From the opening of the Institution proper, in 1849, to March, 1862, there was no break in the operations of the school, which had continued to increase in numbers until there were about sixty pupils in attendance. At this date, on account of the turbulent and exciting times, as well as from the fact that the two teachers on whom the principal relied most were absent in the army, the trustees thought best to close the doors of the Institution, which was accordingly done. All the pupils were sent home with the exception of two orphan girls, and a family selected to live in the building, both to care for the two girls and to endeavor to protect the property. During the whole four years of war, although the village was first in the hands of the Confederate and then of the Fed- eral troops, the premises escaped without material injury. Much of the bedding, table-ware, and furniture was donated to the hospitals, and the rest scattered in various ways. The building was occujjied for short periods as a hospital by both the Federal and Confederate authorities. The school-desks and large slate blackboards escaped uninjured, for the reason, it is supposed, that these were two articles that a soldier could turn to no possible use. The two girls, Misses Iludgins and Bishop, remained during the war and re-entered the school in 1867. [i 14 The Geory'm School. At the session of the legislature in November, 18G6, tin first to assemble after the war, an appropriation was made fn • reojjening the school, and a board of trustees ai)pointed, ti\i; of whom had been members of the former board. This body met as soon as practicable after its appointment, and called Mr. W. O. Connor, who had ended his career as a soldier in prison at Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, to the principal- ship. Mr. Connor, after his return from his four years' service, entered upon agricultural pursuits in Cherokee county, Alabama, with the intention of making it his life business, and had not only not mentioned anything about re-entering the work of instructing the deaf and dumb, but had given the subject no thought. The State was not destined, however, to lose his services, and he was literally taken from between the plow-handles and placed at the head of the Institution. Eev. B. B. Quillian and wife were appointed steward and matron, and Mr. James S. Davis installed in his old place ns teacher. All ne(;essary arrangements having been completed, the doors of the Institution were again thrown open for the reception of pupils, and the exercises of the school resumed on the fourth day of February, 18G7, after a cessation of near^v five years, which covered a period fraught with the most mo- mentous events of our country's history. There were eight pupils present on opening day, but the number soon ran up to twenty-five. From that time to the present, the exercises have continued without interruption, though several times, during the vicissitudes of military government and reconstruc- tion, it was thought the Institution would be compelled to close its doors ; but somehow it escaped such a calamity. Once, however, if Governor Bulloch had not assumed a per- sonal responsibility for the money necessary to keep it going rather than see its usefulness even temporarily suspended, the school would have been disbanded for want of funds. In 1873 fifteen hundred dollars were expended to secure a supply of water for domestic purposes from the spring on the premises. Early in the year 1877 an act was passed by the legislature appointing a new board of trustees, and prescribing that the principal should have his residence iu the Institution, which up to this time had not been the case. An act was also passed extending the time allowed pupils to remain in school to seven years for all, and power conferred upon the board to The Georgia School. 15 1 } 'us .^^m... ■ ■ i^fi ' '^ ^^^K^s' W ^^^^^^^^BB^^^M * tunty. •unty. »unty. •unty.

C. ^ Pi 11 SOUTH CAROLINA INSTITUTION KOK THE Education of the Deaf and the Blind, This Institution \vh,« established, at its present location, Cedar Spring, Sjmrtanliurg county, S. C, by Rev. Newton Pinckney Walker, in 184U. On the 22d of January of that year Mr. Walker admitted a (dass of tive deaf children into his school for speaking and hearing children. By the end of the year three additional pupils had joined this class and Mr. Walker decided to devote his entire time to the education of the deaf. He had si)ent a few months during the year 1848 at the Cave Spring (Georgia) S(diool for the Deaf, preparing himself for this special work. Dr. d. H. Johnson, the present Principal of the .Alabama Institution for the Deaf, informed the writer recently that he was teaching at the Cave Spring School in 1848 and gave Mr. Walker his first lesson in the use of the Manual alj^habet. The names (^f (he live ])upils first admitted are as follows : ■lohn M. Hughston, E. Jane Hugliston, E. Melton Hughston, Irene A. Cooper, Harvey W. Bennett. All (if the above were residents of Spartanburg county, in which the Institution is located. The founder of the school was born in said countv on the 2Uth of November, 181(J. In the first printed report of the Institution (1854) Mr. Walker say«: " Little did I think, a few years ago, that I would I'ver be as I now tiiid myself — surrounded by mi;tiplied cares of Sdiilh ('Knillna Iiistifnflon fur f he so peculiar a chiiractei': cliildreri whose c(^i}ilition in lif'f (riv,.. point to tlic sacredness of the trust; when indeed, at lirst, I aspired to nothing higher in this sphere ot action tluui tin amelioration of the intelleetual condition of a few deaf-nuitc relatives of my wife." Fn the same report he says : "From these statements it would appeal' that, as the inslitution is now hein<' conducted, it might continue ') dispense its blessini^s, thouuh ill an humble manner, without distui'haiu'c. And were 1 to consult nothing except my own interest in a pecuniary point of view, or self-composure in the uninterrupteil possession of this property—a something which 'nature calls its own,' \ miuht KKV. NKWTON I'INCK.NKV WAI.KKK. never ask for any change, feeling that T am sufliciently cctmpeij- sated to raise :!iiy family as my neighbors are doing. * * But over all this, T subuiit for your consideration, and of citizens of the State generalls', that private property, being subject to forego material (duinges, is always unsafe for public pur poses. And though content in my humble .sjdiere, trying in nuuuige my business as a unit, in an individual, independenl manner, yet I am willing to ac(juiesce in any (diange in the matter whicli might be dictated by candid deliberation. My great desire is that the Institution, in some form, be perpetu- )lood hjhicdflon of the Deaf (Did lli< Hllti(J. 5 iited ill all time, in such a manner as tu retlect honor aocordiug to that form, whether individual or State protection be thrown around it." In April, 1855, a tlepartment for the Blind was added, with Professor James S, Henuerson, a. graduate of the Tennesnee ■Sciiool for the Blind, as principal teacher. In 1857 the sehoul was changed from an individual enterprise to a State institution, and the Legislature made a liberal appro- priation for the erection of suitable buildings. The death of the Principal, Rev. N. P. Walker, occurred No- vember 13, 1861 . in the Annual Report of the Board of Commis- sioners to the Legislature, after the death of the Principal, they say: " In the last report of our predecessors, your body was also advised of the death of the Prin(n})al, N.

This we could not have done if we had lieemed it advisable, because of the appropriation for the sup- port of the Institution l:)eing less than it had been for the two [ireceding years. We are satisfied, however, that no change in rlie management or government of the Institution is desirable. * * The Professors and their Assistants are connected by blood or marriage ; the utmost harmony prevails, and each appears desirous of advancing the interest of the Institution ; and the introduction of a stranger as Superintendent and gov- ernor would probably cause dissatisfaction and destroy that harmony which is necessary to success. The only change made in the employees is the appointment of a Steward, who is the son of the late Superintendent. We therefore, at present, pro- [»ose no further change, and have directed the Institution to be conducted in the same manner as the last year." The school was carried on in this way, without the appointment of a Super- intendent, from November, ISfil, to April, 1865, at which time, on account of the unsettled condition of the countrj' and of the linances of the State — the Civil War having just ended — it became necessary to close its doors and to send the pupils to tiieir homes. Xo statement of the origin of the school, with its successes and its difficulties, would be complete without mentioning that in all things the founder had a faithful co-worker in his wife, Mrs. Martha L. Walker, who, by her personal labor and con- stant words of cheer and encouragement made success possible 1 Stnitli ( '(It-Ill 1 nil Iiistlftid,,,, forth,' "IS* She still lives (LVhriian, IHIC-;,) ,hi„I .leji^rhts in the rontJniiH.i succeaa and growth of the .school.

During the school-year of 1872-73, by th. ■' on of the Board of CommlssioMers, a building, on a lot .. ming the Institution, was fitted up for the opening of a department for colored pupils On (he 17tli of September, 1873, the following instructions from the Board of Commissioners were placed in the hands of Sunerintendcnl Walker: " First. Colored pupils must not only be admitted into the Institution on application, but an earnest and faithful effort must be made to induce such pupils fo apply for admission. "Second'. Such pupils, when admitted, must be domiciled in the same building, must eat at the same table, and be taught in the same class-rooms and by the same teachers, and must re- ceive the .same attention, care, and consideration as white pupils." On the reception of the above order the Superintendent and all other officers and teachers sent in their resignations. An effort was made to secure a Superintendent and teachers who would accept and be governed by the above instructions, but it failed. The school, on account of above order, was closed from September, 1873, to Septendjer, LS7H. It is proper that it should be stated that the same political party which was in power and issued the above instructions directed the reopening early in the year 1876, on the basis of the original arrange""- ment, viz.: the estalilishment of separate departments for white and colored pupils. Superintendent Walker and most of his corps of teachers were reap])ointeil. The progress of the school has been uninterrupted since its reorganization in 1876. The Department for colored pupils was opened in 1883.

I'ntil ii I'ew years aj^o there stood near the outskirts of Fulton a dilapidated frame building, in which had been begun the work of educating the deaf of Missouri. In con- trast to this edifice, scarcely a mile away, stand the magnifi- cent buildings where the work is being vigorously })rosecuted. This growth all took place within the life time of one man, who lived to see his work apparently destroyed but to reappear like the fabled bird of antiquity in a more enduring and symmetrical form. The school came into existence in 1851, under the [)rovisi()ns of an act, approved o,\ February liSth, by which 40 acres of land with the buildings thereon were transferred from the Asylum for the Insane to the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb. The founder of the school was a young man teaching in the Kentucky School for the Deaf, at Danville. One evening, after his day's work, he chanced to glance at a map i»f. tl>e Western Slates, and his thoughts dwelt on the many oldildren nf silence in Missouri, growing up in ignorance, unprovided und uncared for. Thi- impulse came to him to write to two of his friends. Rev. \V. \V . Robertson and Mr. Preston B. Reed, to influence them in behalf of the deaf of their State. These gentlemen resided in Fulton, and S("1I()()I. l'()l{ TllK unt!, Mr. Iloc'd, was $. UKAK AND DUMB. HU8poii(lcM|, Supt. Korr retired to a t'anu in Audrain County, about 20 miles north of Fulton. He took with him several of his pupils who had Jio homes and there continued their education. The Federal authorities made use of the estab- lishment as a barracks and military prison. On April 'if), 1863, the lioard of Commissioners formally took possession of the grounds and buildings and reopened the school. Supt. Kerr was induced to take charge of its affairs, which control he only relinquished at the behests of advanced age. The Superintendent also acted as steward besides performing his duties in the school room. The growth of the school and the corresponding increase in its accounts influenced the Board of Commissioners to ask for a steward to attend to the subsistence department and thus allow the Superin- tendent to devote more time to the educational department. In their report for 1857-58, the Board of Commissioners had asked for authority to appoint a steward to relieve the Superintendent of (he financial management. This was granted, but after the reopening of the school in 1863, the Superintendent again was required to perform the duties of steward, which soon grew too onerous. Accordingly Mr. James K. Sheley was appointed in 1873 as steward, and Mrs, Kate B. Sheley as matron. Mrs. Susan M. Kerr, after assisting her husband for 21 years as matron, resigned in 1872, CO be succeeded by Miss C. C. McNair, who retired in 1873. Mr. and Mrs. Sheley filled their positipns faithfully and acceptably until 1889, whei> Mr. Sheley was forced by failing health to retire.' Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Overton were elected to fill the vacancies. In June, 1891, Mr. J. E. Watson and Mrs. Mary Gathright were elected steward and matron, and have held the positions since. Mr. Kerr continued to manage the affairs of the insti- tution so well, that in 1872 a new three-story school house had to be built to accommodate the increased attendance. 10 scllonl. l-()l< TIIK liut thoHc lulditioiiH provi'd inml(>(|Uiitt' and in ISSo the front aii'.l wingH were alttTcd and cnliujit'd tn uivc 21 more rooiiiK for dormitory and hoHpital n-c On the ni^lit of February 27, 18!SS, while the })U]>ilH were aHsemblt-d for study, a tire was discovered in the tower of the centre l)uilding. Every tiling possible was done to ciieck tiie flames, but as there was no lire engine, although an abundant «iuantity of water was onlv a short distance awav, the fire continued to spread. A strong breeze from tiu; southeast aided in the work of demolition, and only the school liouse was saved. Tin; citizens of Fulton rendercMl valuabli- assistance in sjiving the cflothing and household goods ol' the institution. They also generously took care of the children until the Hoard was able to make temporary arrangements for their care. The large brick shojjs, which had just l)een completed, \ver(i cleared out and fitted up as dormitories for the girls. The boys were lodged in the two-story brick building wliieh had been used as the printing-oHice ami shoe-shop. With the funds for enlarging the l)arn, the Hoard erected a temporary dining-hall of pine boar. In a week after the tire, the school duties were resumed. Two theories have been advanced to account for the origin of the fire. One was that it resulted from a defective tlue i'\ the c(>ntre building; the other that it was causeil by the defective insulation of the electric wires. The latter is probably the correct theory. Only a few months before; the Mre the Hoard had in- creased the insu»'ance on the main buildings to SOo^OOO. The companies intervSted promptly met their obligations, and iti consideration of an early settlement, a small discount was deducted. With the SlJ4,r)0() of insurance money and 811,630 of balances from other funds, the Board jjroeeeded to rebuild.

The General AHHenihly of IMS*) appropriated 8;{(),(KH) to complete these buildings.

Thcst; buildings now furnish sulHcient accom- modations for .'52o pujiils. The intirmitics of advanced age had begun to press heavily on the veneraldc Superintendent. Along with his seventeenth and last biennial report to the Board of Commis- sioners, he presented his resignation. On the 28th of Feb. ruary, ISSD, he laid aside the harness of an educator of the deaf, which he had worn continuously for fifty-eight years. His health had been feeble for some time, and his friends feared that the sudden release from the cares of the institu- tion would be fatal. Their fears seemed unfounded for three months, but on the morning of the 24th of May,— scarcely three months later — he sank to his eternal rest. No man stood higher in the regard of the community than Dr. Kerr, as the vast concourse at his funeral testified. His body was borne to its last resting place by the male teachers, and laid by the side of his wife and sons who had preceeded him. Only two weeks before his death, the faculty of the National Deaf-Mute College, of Washington, D. C, had conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, in consideration of his distinguished ser- vices in the cause of deaf-mute education. The mantle of Dr. Kerr fell to hid assistant superin- tendent, who was elected in .Tune, 1881>, to the superin- 14 SCHOOL FOK THE tendency. Trained by the vcn('ral)l(' head, Mr. Tiite ha. carried forward the work with I'resli vigor. He eomnienoed his work as a teacher in 1K lUll.niNiiS. The buildings are grouped in a sonn-circlt' witl) the school house on the west and tlie tradrs building on the east. They consist of ten substantial l»riek struetiu'es. having a frontage of (iOO feet, inehiding the scliool and manual training buildings, and an e.vtrcinr dt'pth of 2\'2 feel. Tlic main buildings stand on a terrai'c. iVoni wiiidi tlic lawn slopes gently southward. They are tlaidvcd on the east and west by the l)oiler-]iouse and launth'v and tlic girls' gymnasium, respectively. The ccntri' l)uil(Ung is a foiu'- story structure, and the wings are thrci' stories liigh. They are connected liy .'^o-foot corridors, which arc lire ])roof.

The centre building and west wings are of lire-proot' material and have iron .-stairways. The east transverse wing was U' ed m.s the school house until the fall of 1S*)1. when the new .school building was ready for occui)ancy. The centre building and transverse west wings arc used as sleeping quartei's by the yirls and fcnialc tcai'hers and employes. The girls" workshops and study rooms are also located here.

Thi- rooms ave all huge and well-lighted and ventilated. A six-foot tnnnel for steam ]»ipes and electric light wires connects the school house with the transverse west wing, and affords a passageway for the pupils in very inclement weather. MKTnoDs OF INSTHICTJON'. The methods pursue(l in instructing the deal are the same as those in a majority of the schools for the deaf in the I'nited States. Although Mr. Kerr was a firm believer in the sign languagi- as a means of instruction, yet he perceived early that a jiart (•! the pupils would be benelited by artic- ulation, and advocated its introduction. In the rei)ort of 18()7-(*))S, he asked tor the employment (tf a teaclu'r of articul- ation. After repeale(l solicition. the Board of (.'ommissioners were granted iUv desired authority, and in IS?;! Miss Mary ('. McClelland, now Mrs. .Mary M. Tate, was transferred from the sign departnu'iit to take charge of the new venture. Under her able care the experiment ])roved very successful, and in 18S1 Miss Eliza M. lU ed was also transferred to this department, nu account of tiie growth of the class in artic- ulation.

These had been found serviceable in preparing the deaf for future usefulness. Tlie school may well be proud of the record its graduates liave made. One made some reputation as a writer of verse ; another has become the leadhig chemist of a large Chicago smelting company, several have become teacliers in their Alma mater; one has become the foreman of the cabinet shop of the Louisana School ; the rc^st are scattered over the State, earning comfortable livings at their occupations the rudi- ments of which they learned at the school. PRESENT SCIIEDrLE. The school formerly hnd two sessions a day. The morning session was devoteil to the school room work ; the afternoon session was given to manual training. For a long time this system worked satisfactorily, but liually the num- DEAF AND DUMB. 23 her of pupils severely taxed the facilities of the industrial departments. Accordingly, in 1890, the present schedule was adopted. It provides for three sessions of 2J hours each. The classes of the school are grouped in three sec- tions, as nearly equal in number as possible. Two sections are in school while one section is in the manual training department. These sections rotate monthly. Each section has live liours of school work and 2.V hours of industrial training. The sections are designated A, B, and C, res- pectively. In September A is in school from 8 o'clock to 10 : 20, and ag;..in from 10 : 80 to 12 : 50. From 2 : 00 to 4 : 30 it is in the shops. 13 is in school from 8 : 00 to 10 : 20 and from 2 : 00 to 4 : 150; in shops from 10 : 30 to 12 : 50. C begins the day in the shops from 8 : 00 to 10 : 20 ; its school work is done from 10 : 30 to 12 : 50 and from 2 : 00 to 4 : 30. During the next month A takes the place of B, and B that of C, and C moves to the place of A, and so on. The advantages of this plan are two-fold : more time can be devoted by the instructors in the industries to individuals in classes, because fewer come in sections, than when all come at once; and time passes more quickly and agreeably for pupils and teachers. The appended schedule makes further explanation unnecessary. COMPOSITION OF DIVISIONS. SIX'TIOX A.

The value of manual training for our youth is acknowl- edged by educators. Manual sehoolH liavo sprung up in all parts of the country to train the hearing youth in the us(^ of their hands. Sucli a training is a greater necessity of the deaf than of the hearing, as the former is debarred bv his r II li I 'SI I t 26 SCHOOL FOR THE deafness from otherwise acquiring a trade in this hurly-burly scramble for existence. Few employers have the inclination to take deaf apprentices or the time to teach them. Hence the deaf should acquire an industrial education at the same time they hre acquiring other knowledge. This view early impressed the educators of the deaf and they make provis- ions therefor. Superintendent Kerr was i.iipressed with the utility of such an education, and made repeated requests for appropriations for instituting a course in manual training. The Legislature of 1SG6 made an appropriation of $3,000 for the erection and furnishing of shop buildings. The amount proved insufficient for the purpose. Nothing further was done until 18()5> when the Board appointed an excellent carpenter, who had been employed on the school building, to superintend the repairing around the institution. He was assisted by a number of the larger boys. The management icquested permission to make his employment permanent, but this application was not successful. They employed a deaf-mute in 1.S74 to give instruction in shoe- making to a few of the boys. This experiment proved highly successful, and in ISTo the Legislature granted au- thority to make the venture a permanent feature. Mr. George McCauley was appointed the next year, and has continued in his position since. The success of this depart- ment was followed by the establishment of a carpenter-shop with Mr. M. F. Bell, as forem.'m, in l.S7(). He continued in his position until 18S8, when he resigned to devote his atten- tion to his business as architect. The gentleman has since made a name in his chosen profession, and a score of private and public educational buildings testify to his skill. The present instructor in carpentry, Mr. William H. Hurai)hreys, succeeded Mr. Bell, and has proven very efficient. The printer's trade is on(! peculiarly adapted to the semi-mutes who have a taste for language. As no provision DEAF AND DUMB. 27 was made for teaching this industry, several boys were permitted to go to the town newspaper otHces to acquire the trade. In 1871) a printing olhcc was started with Prof. Henry C I^nglisli ns instructor. Prof. English issued a four-column folio, semi-monthly, called The Missouri Deaf- Mnte Record. This was soon changed to a weekly, and the editorial work assigned to another teacher, to allow the instructor more time to teach the industry. Prof. English continued in charge of the office until his death, January .Sth, 1H8U. The editorial work had been in charge of Mr. Chas. M. Grow, Jr., who temporarily assumed the duties of foreman in addition. In April the writer, who had taken Prof. English's place in the class room, was appointed fore- man, Mr. Grow continuing the editorial work. The foreman had been one of the original compositors with whom the Record was first issued. Up to tiiis time the paper had been coming out as a four or eight page four-column cjuarto. In the fall of 1889 it was enlarged to a six column folio. This form had been retained. In December 1891, Mr. Grow retired from the editorial management, and the paper was edited by the publish^: . Mr. Gross gave way last June to Mr. Wallace Williams, an old newspaper man of Fulton. The adoption of uniforms was followed by the establish- ment of a tailor shop. The uniforms made by contract were not always well-fitting and did not prove entirely satisfactory in material. Mr. Chas. iVIerkle, v.'ho had several years' experience in teaching tailoring in the Philadelphia School for the Deaf, was appointed in September, 1891. This branch of industry is proving very satisfactory. Mr, Louis Kuss, who has been serving as baker for the s ■loci ■iince 1876, has been teaching five boys in his handi- craft. They help him to furnish the bread and rolls consumed by the pupils. This is a good trade for the deaf- I •J 28 SCHOOL FOR THE mutfis, and these arc acquiring a iuo«t excellent means of making a livelihood. The girlH were taught liouse-work from the inception of the school. This included revving and general needle-work. In 1888 a department of cutting and tilting was established. The older girls are ins^tructed in measuring and cutting and fitting tlu'ir dresses. The younger girls are instructed in needle-work. They take turns in attending to the cleaning of the table ware in the dining-room. All are required to keep their rooms in a neat and orderly condition. An ( xcellent aid in industrial training has been the art instruction given by Mrs. E. M. H. Taylor. The students acquire a better understanding of proportions and utilize their artistic talent in their occupations. This is especially shown in the' carving done by some of ihe cabinet makers. The classes in art go from the industrial departments, one division twice and the other three time;! a week for 40 minutes each. The work rooms of the girls are on the first floor of the west transverse wing. The classes in sewing and in cutting and fitting occupy separate rooms, each 47 feet by 20 feet. All the mending of boys' clothing is attended to by the classes in sewing, numbering IS) girls at present. The classes in cutting and fitting measure and make the uniform dresses and other garments of the girls and many of the uniforms of smaller boys. There are 38 girls in these classes. The younger girls pass from the sewing to the cutting and fitting classes as soon as they are proficicit in needlework. The industrial training of the boys, except the class in baking, is carried on in the manual training building. This is a two story brick building in the form of an L, having a length of 110 feet and depth of 100 feet. The carpenter and shoe shops are on the first floor and the printing UNIFORM OF GIRLS. |i B"l I- 1 ■ ' V DKAK AND DIMB. l>9 ollico ami tailor kIioi) occupy the Hccond story, together with the Htoro and linishing rooiuH of the cabinet niakern. The carpenter s^hop is S2 x 45 feet in dimensions. There are 20 benches supplied with full sets of tools. Among its eo'iipmentK are two turning lathes, a planer, two I'i-inch rip saws, two scroll saws, a mortiser, a freizer and a moulding machine. All these are run by steam. The power is trans- mitted from the boiler house by means of a 7-S inch steel wire cable, which also furnishes the motive power for the printing office. There are .'5(1 boys learning the various branches of joinery work. They make all the furniture used about the institution, and attend to the repairing of the wood work and painting. Some very neat specimens of carving have been made lately. The boys also attend to the varnish- ing and polishing of the furniture. This is done in a room 20 X 24 feet, on the second floor. A section of the second floor, 84 X 45 feet, is used as the store room of the finished products. The value of the work done in this industry dur- ing the years 1.S91 and l.Si)2 was S2, (51 7.47. The shoe shop occupies the south extension of 24 x 90 feet. Twenty-six boys receive instruction in making and mending shoes. The most proficient are able to cut and make the entire shoe. Four sewing machines of standard make are used. This shop does all the mending of the foot- wear of the jiupils, and furnishes most of their boots and shoes. The aggregate value of work done in 1S91 and 1892 was $2,116.50. Immediately over the shop shop is the tailoring room. Here Mr. Morkle has twenty-three boys under instruction. They make the uniforms of the large boys and are busy all the time. This induslry was established only one and a half years ago, but has already done work to the value of The northern part of the second floor is occupied by the ^m 30 SCHOOL roll THK printing-otTice, compriHinK two rooms cIuvoUm to coin|.o8ition Htul pre«H work.

Among the other a. r.'ssories are a 9 x 28 proof press, a 22 inch I'aragon paper cutter, and a Lightning .stapling machine, together with gall.-y racks, imposing stones, and other necessary uljunets of a first class printing- otHce. Besides issuing the Dcof-Muic Record weekly, the compositors do all the cir.'ular and job work needed in the sehool and office. The reports of the officers to the h^gis- lature have been printed here for the last ten years. The present force of compositors comprises thirteen. A number of the former compositors are now pursuing their occupation in country towns and, in several instances, having becotne the editors or foremen of papers. During the last two years the office turned out work to the value of $2,016.03. LinK.MlV. No one can think of a school of this kind without the idea of a librarv suggesting itself. The library of this insti- tution is almost as old as the school itself. Its nucleus was formed in 1855, when Mr. WiHiaiu iMusgr. ve, then editor ot the Le.un(ito,i Express, interested his friends in collecting books for the school. A number of volumes were donated by the citizens of Lexington, and the list was augmented as the years passed until now ther(.« are 1181 volumes. A large well-lighted room in the rear portion of the centre building is used as the library. In handsomely polished oak cases, made in the cabinet shop, are classified the books. There are ten classes of works-embracing history, biography, poetry, DKAF AND DUMB. 31 sciciKi Hction, tnivulH, rtrligioiin uiid miHceJlaiieoun workn.

The saying that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" has its weight with the management. By the schedule already given, it is seen that the pupils are granted ample time for daily recreation. Saturday afternoons are regular half holidays, and those, whose deportment during the week has earned it, are allowed to make visits to the town. For the special holidays, as thanksgiving, etc., the teachers prepare entertainments. These have consisted of social parties, puntomines, shadow and open, tableaux, lectures and stereopticon views. They are in charge of a committee of three teachers for each holiday. In order to develope a taste for reading, the teachers give monthly lectures to the five upper classes. The subjects are taken from among the standard works in the Library. A brief resume of the news of tiie day as gleaned from the daily papers, is posted in the two reading-rooms. These rooms are supplied with plenty of daily and weekly papers, and periodicals from other schools for the deaf. For two years a small paper was issued semi-weekly from tho printing-office, filled with bits of news, suitable for iiie different grades of the school. This was called The Recorder, and was edited by the teachers who rotated weekly. Morning services are held daily in the chapel, conducted by the male teachers. These lectures precede the school work and last about fifteen minutes. On Sunday morning, after the service in the chapel led by the Superintendent, a half hour is devoted to Sunday School work. In the afternoon, the Superintendent gives short lectures on the history of the Bible. During the course of the week, the pupils reproduce these lectures as compositions. 34 SCHOOL FOR THE ITNIFORMS. In the year 1890 a uniform was devised for -the boys. In 1891 a uniform was fixed upon for the girls. Tlie uniform for the large boys consists of four pieces, viz: coat, trousers, vest and cap. The small boys have knee pants and no vest. The material is cadet gray twenty ounce stuft" to the yard, six-fourth yards wide. Three sizes of buttons arc used, on each of which is found the words, "Missouri" across the center and "School tor the Deaf and Dumb" around the margin. These suits are extremely neat and durable, and in the end economical. Nothing could do so much to stimulate our boys to preserve their clothes as the uniform has done. Their conduct and bearing is evidently improved by this dress. The uniform is a source of protection to them from injury, incident to passing vehicles. As all these uniforms are made by the pupils in their trades, a number of them are thus afforded a means of becoming proficient in tailoring and dress-making. The uniform for the girls was devised at their earnest request. They claimed partiality was shown to the boys. The uniform for the girl.-> consists of dress and hat. The dress is of gray all wool serge, with yoke and cuffs of navy blue velvet, and standing collar. The hat is a blue straw sailor with band of blue gros grained ribbon two inches wide. A belt is used varying from one and one-half to two inches in width of navy blue velvet. LEGISLATION. Many changes have been made in the laws regulating this institution. Among the provisions of the act establishing the school was one allowina the sum of $80.00 per annum for the maintenance of each indigent pupil. This amount was DKAF AND DUMB. 35 nub.sc(iuently increiiHcd to 8100.00. All tli« other pupils wero ro(iuiro8. AVilliam H. Bailey... Alfred J. Moore Thomas B. Neeblt. . . Elijah T. Scott W. R.

The Wisconsin School for the Deaf is in IMavan, Wal- worth County, a town of 2,2(X) inhabitants, on the Racin. .t i^outhwestern .livision of the C"., M. & St. P. R. R whic^h with Its wide streets, well-kept lawns and tasty residences,' justly claims to he one of the most attractive towns in the ^Me, and with Delavan Lake, which is two and a half li:: rV lu"'"'"' '" '"'" ""^ *''" ^^^^* ^^I^"l'^^- «""'"^^r resorts in the Northwest. The institution is delightfully situated on an elevation overlooking the town and the sun-ounding country, and the I'eauty and desirability of its location can hardly be sur- passed. The grounds include about forty acres. The build- ings are artistically constructed an.l arc supplied with all the "Kxlern improvements, such as electri<. lighting, steam heat- ng, and water for fire and domestic purposes. The institu- tion embraces two departments-the educational and the industrial. The edu.ational department comprises a school coui-se covering about ten years, whose curriculum cor- responds to that in our public schools. The system of in- s ruction in the school is the Combined System, which in- cludes the manual a.id the oral method;. The manual method IS the teaching by use of signs, of the manual alphabet and by writing. The oral or articulati.m method is the teaching by spee<.h. Each pupil is taught by that method winch IS best suited to the pupil . The manual method has been employed eve-r since the organization of the school The oral method was begun in this institution as soon as if not prior to, any institution in the West. Miss Emily Eddv has been articulation teacher in the school since 1868 For the last eight vcars ther« 1.... ...„,, .v.,.„3 ^articulation classes each cliiss having a separate teacl ler. The i)lan in these (; (^lasses is to liave cxcluriivoly oral recitations. Pupils an; not only taught articulation, but they are taught by articulation. Graduates from this school are ([ualitied to enter the intro- ductory class of the Deaf-Mute College at Washington, D. C. In the industrial department four trades are taught— cabinet-making, shoemaking, printing and baking. Each shop is under the direct supervision of a skilled foreman and pupils leaving the institution are thus enabled to earn a sufficient livelihood. The law provides that all deaf and dumb residents of the state, ])etween the ages of eight and twenty-five years, of suitable capacity, shall be received and taught— free of charge for board and tuition, parents and guardians 1)eing expected to furnish clothing and pay traveling expenses. 'l he Wisconsin School for the Deaf was incorporated by an act of the legislt^ture April 19th, 1852, which declared the object of the school as follows : ' 'To afibrd to the deaf and dumb of the state, so far as possible, enlightened and practical education, that may aid them to obtain the means of subsis- tence, discharge the duties of citizenship, and secure all the happiness Avhich they are capable of obtaining." The incep- tion and establishment of this school is largely due to Ebenezer Cheesbro, who emigrated from New York State and settled two miles west of Delavan in 1889. Ariadna, the deaf daughter of Mr. Cheesbro, had been in school in the New York institu- tion, au'l Mr. Cheesbro was desirous of completing her educa- tion. In 1850 Miss Wealthy Hawes was engaged to come to the Cheesbro residence and teach Ariadna, together with James A. Dudley, a deaf boy living in the vicinity. Miss Hawes was a graduate of the New York institution and had known Ariadna in school. This acquaintance led to her in- stallment as a tutor of these two deaf children. In the fall of 1851 she was succeeded by John A. Mills, a graduate of the New York institution. About this time the idea of organiz- ing a larger school was formulated by the members of the ( 'heesbro family, and it was through their efforts that the school opened in the fall of 1851 with seven deaf pupils and John A. Mills as teacher. This school was held at Mr. Cheesl)ro's residence for four months and was maintained at his own expense. It ^vas tlieu tluit Mr. Cheesbro luid dvnwu up, and circulated, a petition to the legislature asking for the establishment of an institute for the education of the deaf, in be located at or nearDelavan. Hon. C. M. Baker, assembly- man from Walworth county, presented the petition to the legislature, and it was through his efforts that a bill was passed April 19th, 1852, incorporating the "Wisconsin Insti- tution foi 'le Education ofthe Deaf and Dumb," to be located atDelavan, Walworth county. On the recommendation of Superintendent J. W. Swiler, the legislature changed the name of the school to the "Wisconsin School for the Deaf in 1885. The act of incorporation named Ebenezer Cheesbro, William C. Allen, Franklin K. Phuniix, Henderson Hunt, P. W. Lake, Wyman 8i)ooner, Jesse ('. Mills, James A. Max- well and George Williams as a l)oard of trustees, having the general management of the school, with power to employ a I)rincipal ; and made an apja-opriation of $8,000 for buildings, and $500 for the supi)nrt ofthe school for the ensuing year. This boar recjuiring pupils who were sent to the Deaf and Duml) or Blind institutions to pay $75 per annum unless* parents could make oath before an officer that they were un- able to pay that amount ; and a similar one in 1867 ; but they ojjerated so disastrously on the i)rosperity of those in- stitutions that they were both repealed soon after their i)assage. The ]ieriod of the civil war was a time of considerable pecu- niary emltarrassmentto the institute, and teachers worked on retluced salaries. Mr. Officer died in office in 1864 and his place was tilled by Mr. H. W. Milligan, whose administration was signalized by the introdu(!tion of steam-heating, gas- lighting, and the oi)ening <}f a shoe-shop. The next two princii)als to take charge of the institute, between the years 1869 and 1875, were E. C. Stone and George L. Weed, both men of exi)erience and ability. In 1875 Dr. William H. De .Motte was elected superintendent. The following events marked his term of office : The erection of a small wooden Ituilding for a gyuauisium ; the opening of u basket-shop in a part of the calnnet sho}) ; the introduction of printing and the starting of a paper, the "Deaf Mute Press," in 1878; tlie 9 giving of elementary instruction in drawing for a few months ; the erection and fitting up of a building for a Icitchen and laundry ; and the destruction of the old institute by fire on September 16th, 1879. No clue as to the origin of the fire has ever yet been obtained. The building was a total loss to the state, as it was not covered by insurance. In spite of the great inconvenience caused by this most unexpected calamity the work of the school was not suspended. The shoe-shop was immediately converted into a dormitory for the boys, while the lady teachers and girls were taken in by private families on the hill and down town. In the meantime the school work was carried on mostly in the Methodist church in the village, until the carpenter-shop was divided up into OLD BUILDING— DESTROYED BY FIRE SEPl'. 16, 18V 9. school-rooms, and a small office for the principal and steward. After the fire the public press began seriously to discuss the advisability of moving the institution to some other place, but nothing came of it. Plans for new buildings were adopted and, an appropriation of $65,000 having been secured, their erection was commenced in the spring of 1880." The new buildings were constructed on the cottage or segregate plan. The main building is ii three-story white brick structure, with attic, and solid stone basement, 50x100. A wide corridor runs the entire length of the first floor, which contains a reception-room, parlor, office, matron's room and and a suite of rooms occupied by the superintendent. On the second floor is a large, well-lighted study-room used by the girls, and the rooms occupied by the lady teachers living 1 11 I 10 in tlie institution. On the third floor are the girls' sleeping and toilet-rooms. The attic is used as a gymnasium for girls. In the rear of the main huilding is a two-story hrick exten- sion, 45x7'), which contains a chapel, with seating capacity for 3C)0 persons. The chapel has a large platform supplied with a full complement of stage settings and drop curtains which aid materially in the giving of institution entertainments. In the basement of the building are thedining-hall and kitchen. About 100 yards east of the main building stands the school building, a solid, white brick and stone structure, two stories in height, with basement, 66x122. It has two main entrances, one for the boys and one for the girls. A wide corridor runs the entire length of the building on each floor. The school- rooms, 20x26, are all sui)plied with closets and cloak-rooms, and are so arranged that each room has the benefit of sunlight during some portion of the day. The building is well fur- nished with the best school apparatus, and has ample accom- modations in the way of heat and ventilation. Thirty yards west of the main building is the boys' dormitory, a two-story white-brick structure, with stone basement, 66x122, which contains besides the dormitories, lavatories and study-rooms. In the rear of the main building stands the new engine house, which was erected in 1885. The building is two stories in height, with a smokestack 107 het high. The building is equipped with a Rice automatic slide-valve engine, which runs an Edison dynamo that furnishes the electric light for all the institution buildings and grounds. A storage battery is used to supply the light during the latter part of the night. The building is also furnished with a Knowlcs i)unip for fire purposes ; two smaller pumps for filling boilers and an eight- horse power engine for driving the machinery. In the boiler- room are three large tubular boilers, five feet in diameter by sixteen feet in length, for generating steam used in the heat- ing of the buildings, which is done by the gravity return sys- tem, and another boiler, 3x11, for running the dynamo en- gine and for heating water. On the second lloor is the laundry, which is supplied with reversible, hydraulic washers, a Weston centrifugal wringer and a ternary mangle. |!| 11 Other buildings contain the printing onife, wliich is .supplied with a I'routy power press, johhor and cutter ; u cabinet- shop, a shoe-shop, a finely equipped gynuiasiuni, bath and swinuTung pool, play-rooms and hospital. The present Superintendent, J. W. Swiler, took charge of the institution in July, 1,S8(). During his administration the new buddings have been constructed, the various depart- ments of the institution enlarged and developed, and to-day the institution enjoys the reputaticm of being on(,' of the best equipped and best managed schools in the country. I'hat Mr. Swiler is a man well qualified for thei)ositi(m he holds is univer.sally adndtted, and further attested by the fact that he IS retamed notwithstanding politicfd changes in the adminis- NKW HUiLDINti.s— KIUCCTED IX 1880. tratiou of the state. The following mention is taken from Professor Robinson's history of the institution: "The present Superintendent, John W. Swiler, was born in Cum- berland county, Penn.sylvania, in 1844. In 18.52 his i)arents removed to AEonmouth, Illinois, and in the course of time he entered the college at that place and graduated in 1864, after which he en-aged in the book trade for two years. In 1867 he went to Jacksonville, Illinois, where he was appointed as a teacher in the state institution there. His stay in Jackson- ville covered thirteen years, during which time he constantly rose to prominence as a man well fitted to educate and govern. Endowed with great practical and executive alnlity, 12 as well as good jiulRinent, he seems to have found his proper place in the profesHion. His experience grows rapidly with his years. His appearance indicates energy, decision, and finnnesH. His use of th(! sign language is characterized by perspicuity, and his utterances are fraught with the useful and practical. Since he came here he has steadily grown in the esteem of those in his charge, no less for his managing skill than for the faithful care, considerati"n and respect he ever evinces for them . And inclosing it does not seem too much to say that his management has had a tendency to de- velop the present material and mental resources of the school to a degree never surpassed." Superintendent Swiler is a member of the Wisconsin State Educational Committee, and also of the committee of that section of the World's Fair Con- gress Auxiliary devoted to deaf-mute instruction, of which Dr. P. G. Gillett is chairman. He is a man of progressive ideas, and during his administration the school has attained a high rank among the institutions of the country. In 1885 the in- stitution received a diploma from the Cotton Centennial Ex- position at New Orleans for pupils' work. Very flattering exhibits of school work were made at the Teachers' National Convention at Madison in 1884, also at Chicago in 1886, and at the Milwaukee Industrial Exposition at several times. The institution was under the general management of a Board of Trustees from its establishment till 1881, when, with all other charitable, penal and reformatory institutions in the state, it passed under the control of a State Board of Super- vision, consisting of George W. Burchard, president ; Charles Luling, James Bintliff', C. D. Parker and L. A. Procitor. The outgoing board of trustees consisted of S. R. LaBar, D. G. Cheever, Hollis Latham, E. D. Holton, and Albert Salisbury. Dr. A. L. Chapin, thelatepresidentofBeloit college, resigned in 1880. He Avas for many years the president of this Board, and, having once been a teacher of the deaf, was at all times the ardent supporter and warm friend of the institution, and is held in sacred memory by all deaf-mutes and all friends of deaf-mute instruction in the State of Wisconsin. The Board of Supervision remained in office for ten years and during its administration of afiiiirs the public institutions of the state 13 enjoyed a ixa-iotl of unprocedented growth and devolopnicnt.

Warren llohinson, Thomas Hagerty and J. J. Murpliy are j?raduates of this school, and J. S. l^on^ is a Ki'iidnateof the Iowa State School for the Deaf. The only death of a resident officer that is recorded in the annals of the school occurred Fehruary 3d, 18(i5, when J. S. OlHcer, who had been at the head of the school, as principal and steward, for eight years, was re- moved by death. In a tribute to the memory of Mr. ()Hi( cr. Hon. X. M. Harrington, Secretary of the lioard of Trustees, wrote as follows : '' Mr. Officer iwasessed a rare combination of (lualitications for the position which he occupied. Among these were the following : A strong, ripe and luminous Christian character, a Christianity which infused its ennobling and benign spirit into all his life ; great executive ability and untiring industry ; unswerving integrity and ^^^crul)ulous exactness in the details of business ; a marked suavity and kindness clothing a deportment of unusual ilignity ; a ceaso less watchfulness for the well-being of those comnutted to his care ; system and order reigned wherever he had con- trol. In the use of the sign language he was a master." In this comiection it seems proper to state that in 188.'> the institution sustained a serious loss in the death of Professor Z. (i. McCoy, who had labored diligently, witli an unswerving devotion to duty, and an untiring interest in all that concerned the members of this institution during almost its entire history, his connection with the institution dating from November, 1855. In Superintendent Swiler's report to the State Board of Supervision, we tind the following mention : "Z. G. Mc(!oy was born at Fort Edwards, New York, November 1st, 1829. He was appointed teacher in IG this school soon after gradiuiting from the New York institu- tion. He came to his work with the higiiest recommendu- ti(»ns and during his subsequent course he developed a higher scholarship and a more loving Christian character than even his most sanguine friends had expected. During the years that have passed and through all the changes that have transi)ired in this institution, Zachariah G. McCoy remained steadfastly at his post, laboring earnestly for those he loved. Xo one but a teacher can realize how much of devotion, self- sacrifice, antion in the school since 18r,2 ; of this number 105 took the full course and graduated prior to 1880; since that time 89 have graduated ; making a total of 194 graduates.

By an Lct of the legislature, apiiroved March 18, 1852, the board of managers " purchased the property heretofore known as the 'Baton Rouge College,' together with three other squares of ground lying immediately back of, or east of, said property, with the exception of three lots, for the price and sum of six thousand three hundred and ninety-five dollars ($(i,395). The price paid for the same, we are happy to say, is extremely reasonable, and the location, at the lower end of the corporation, possessing a beautiful and commanding view of the river, renders it, in the opinion of the board, for such an in- stitution, one of the most desirable in the city of Baton Rouge." Thus ran the first words in the first annual report of the administrators. The members of the first board were Gen. Joseph Bernard, president; William S. Pike, secretary and treasurer; Dr. B. F. Harney, Col. Nolan Stewart, Major James N. Brown, Dr. Thomas J. Buffington, and Major Augustin Duplantier. Of these, only one. Dr. T J. Buffington, is alive. Mr. James S. Brown, M. A., a gentleman eminently qualified, and who was then the superintendent of the Indiana School, was appointed to guide the infant days of this institute. Thirteen pupils were the first record in attendance on the 8th of December, 1852. From this year the preparatory arrangements, as well as the progress of the School, went along smoothly, the board of ad- ministrators and all connected with the School showing the highest enthusiasm. At the outset Superintendent Brown maintained the advantage of having the deaf and the blind to- gether, affirming that the former in their intercourse with the latter improve themselves in the general use of language— the most important part of their education. Mr. Martin M. Hanson, a deaf mute, was Mr. Brown's first assistant. The first appropriation made by the legislature was the sum of $25,000, and until " the late unpleasantness " it con- tinued to appropriate that liberal sum yearly. The Lonhiana School. "A commencement, however humble, has now been made of an institution tlestineil to pour incak-uhible bU^ssingH upon two of the most unfortunate crhissea whose hel2)leHs lot can demand human symijathy. It is to the credit of American statesmen that it can be said that su(!h an enterprise has never been commenced, where a State legislat'U'e could l)e made aware of its benefits, anc' tiled. Located, as this institution is, under the immediate observation of the legislature and State author- ities, we may not — cannot — fear the result. Under such auspices we may well entertain the hope that a monument of th(; judi- cious liberality of the State will here be reared which shall tell to generations of men yet to inhabit the beautiful cities, the fertile fields and sj^reading savannas of Louisiana that her legislators in this our day had hearts to feel for human woe, and hands ready to lighten the crushing load of misfortune which weighs down the sorrow-stricken blind and deaf and dumb." These were the last words in Sujierintendent Brown's first annual report. For the erection of the stately buildings that now stand as beautiful and useful ornaments to our State $350,000 was at different times rtjjprojiriated. Slowly but steadily did the School grow. In 18(50 Mr. Brown was removed, and the entire corps of instructors, of whom Dr. J. L. Noyes, now the efficient super- intendent of the Minnesota School, was one, resigned. For a time the School was paralyzed. Mr. A. K. Marcin, then the head of the Mississippi School, was appointed in his place. At the commencement of the war the number of pupils was 77. During the struggle the list dwindled down to 25 or 30. For several months the School was left v^ its owu resources and all were supported hy the proceeds of cakes, etc., made, in part, by the girls, and sold by the little Ijoys, and by the sale of vegetables from the garden, and by means advanced by benevolent individuals. When these resources failed, rations were received from the Federal authorities, which were continued until 1866, when they evacuated our buildings, the larger portion of which they had been using since January, 1863, for hospital purposes. The legislature of l8Go made an appropriation of $18,000 for the benefit of the institute, but owing to the depleted condi- tion of the treasury very little of it could be drawn, and the institution continued in a crippled, discouraging state. In the succeeding year more life and spirit was breathed into our affairs, and since that period the institution has been steadily going forward in its benevol^-it mission. — A. K. Mabtin. In 1867 arrangements were made with the board of trustees The Loumana School. of the MiHHiHHippi Scliool, Dvh. Poindfxtpr mh\ CabauisH, and Jiidtfo Potter, to liav«. the jxipilH of tliat State in our Hchool, their buihliiig Imviiig been burned down. Tlie leginhiture of that State agreed to pay $250 a year per pupil. In lH()i) the board of adniiniHtratorH, with J. A.. McWhorter as 'Huperintendent, yielding to the reeomn.endation of Gov. H. C. Warmoth, gave half of the 'tuildings for the use of the State Seminary and Military Acndeniy. With the growth of these latter inHtitutions the buildingH became crowded. The blind were removed to other quarters in 1871, and this resulted in the provision for them by law of a separate institution. This removal of the blind only paved t! e "way for forcing an excusable removal of the deaf, and finally resulted in the ostensibly temporary occupation by the State University of our buildings, planned and erected for our peculiar wants, being made permanent." In speaking about this impolitic as well as ungenerous course, Supt. McWhorter says : Education is inestimably more vahiable to the tleaf-mute than it can possibly be to any other class, and should be considered in the light of public necessity— as much as justice to the innocent or food to the BtarviuK. Besides, they cling to this building with the affection that surrounds a home, and as the spot where the sweet light of intelligence and culture lirst broke in upon and quickened a benighted intellect, bringing joy and elevation that could be found nowhere else. The deaf were removed to the structure known as the " Herman Building," almost in the heart of the city, in the summer of 1879. This dingy old building soon became over- crowded. Small frame cottages were erected around it, and were used as boys' dormitories. They remained in this un- comfortable condition until 1887. During all this time the board of trustees were keeping an eye on the buildings origi- nally erected for the deaf, and endeavoring to repossess them. They were finally rewarded in 1887, when the University was removed to the United Stai-es garrison. Governor S. D. Mc- Enery ordered the institution restored to its original buildings in the summer of that year. This was according to a section of an act passed by the general assembly of 1871, which read as follows : That the board of truscees shall have power to procure by lease or purchase a suitable building or buildings and grounds for all the neces- sary purposes of said institution, and as soon as this may be done they shall grant the temporary use of the buildings and grounds now occupied and held by said institution to the Louisiana State University until said University be otherwise wovidcd for. 6 The LoHtalatka School. The two iiiHtitiitoH, one for tho dt'iif and i\w othfr for the blind, which hud for nt'iirly twenty yearH been supported hh in dependent inHtitutionn, were by the lej^iHliiture of IHHH com- bined under one manaff<'nient. A proviso was, however, added to the act by which tlie two were combined for restor- ing, on a specified condition, the separate organization of the *' School and Industrial Home for the Blind." That condition was met by the i)urchase of a property and the erection of a building at an outlay of $.'J0,()()(), without cost to the State The great storm of the IDth and 20th of August, 188H, did great damage to ou)' buildings. Eight thousand dollars were borrowed from the Louisiana National Bank and the Canal Bank of New Orleans.

( i t] 8( O] Ol in Ol th ti] Ja ( tic lis: th( r bu orci lea: pra tuci he the hoi whi fell hap stoj mec I simi teiic «ur hei-f Misi dou( cone Tj! for I THE MISSISSIPPI INSTITUTION FOR THE EDUCA TION or THE DEAF AND DUMB. The first mention of the deaf that has been found in any of the State records is in the message of Governor A. G. McNut, sent to the legislature January 5, 1841. In giving some statistics he says : " There were in the State on June 1, 1840, free white persons deaf and dumb, 69; col- ored i)ersons deaf and dumb and blind, 118." It does not appear that he made any recommendation look- ing to the establishment of an institution for their education, or that any member of the legislature introduced a bill to that end. No reference has been found to this subject from that date till the meetmg of the legislature in 1852, when Governor James Whitfield made the following recommendation, viz : One other institution of a kindred ..huracter [referring to the Luna- e A ,,umand Institution for the Blind] is still wanted to con.plete the St of noble charities so characteristic of Southern generosity; Ireferto the asylum for the deaf and dumb. The poor mute who is permitted to gaze upon the beauties of nature but whose ears are forever closed to the sweet melody Providence has ordained to gladden the human heart, and whose tongue has never learned to hold social converse with his fellow-creatures or even unite in praises to the Most High, is a sul>ject to claim our most anxious solici- tude and prompt us to some action to ameliorate his condition, whilst he can only be taught to appreciate the bounties of Providence and he scheme of redemption by teaching him to read. Let us not with- hold from hun this exalted privilege so fraught with happiness to all who enjoy its benefits; and whilst he can only converse with his ellow-creatuies and enjoy that social intercourse so necessary to the happiness ot all by learning to write, let us do something towards un- stopping the ears of the deaf and making the dumb to speak through the medium of the pen. fc> <= I would therefore, recommend that a small appropriation be made similar to the one made for the benefit of the blind! in order to employ ^ teacher or teachers and found a school for the benefit of this class of our people, which may be change.l or enlarged as circumstances mav hereafter require. Au.l with this a.lditional institution the people of Mississippi may justly feel that they have done everything that could be done by legislative enactment to educate xhe poor and ameliorate the condition of the suffering and afflicted. In view of the intimate connection between this and the Institution for the Blind, I respectfully suggest that the two might be blended 4 The Mississippi Institution. under one general supervision, thereby lessening the expense to the State without detriment to either. This recommendation was followed by the introduction of a bill in the House of RejDresentatives, at that session, by Mi*. Jones, a representative from Pontotoc county, establishing an institution for the instruction of the deaf and dumb at or near the town of Pontotoc, in Pontotoc county. This bill went to its third reading in the House, when a " rider " was tacked to it, making the institution a department of Oakland College, a flourishing male college in this State at that time. This rider seems to have killed the bill on its final passage. At the session of the legislature in 1854 .i similai' bill was in- troduced in the Senate by Mr. Webb, senator from Pontotoc. This " bill was killed " in the house of its friends, and it seems the energetic representatives from Pontotoc gave up the idea, of securing this prize. On Tuesday, February 7, 1854, Col. Erasmus R. Burt, a member of the House of Representatives, and the father of the Mississippi Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, offered tho following resolution, which was adopted, to wit : Resolved, That the Committee of Education is hereby instructed to inquire into tlie expediency of enlarging the buildings of the Blind In- stitute so as to furnish apartments for the education of the cljaf and dumb, and report by bill or otherwise. Col. Burt was a prominent and influential member from Oktibbeha county, and at that session was not only a member of the Committee of Education, but was the chairman of the Committee on Claims, the first in the list of committees. It will be seen that, instead of this being an asylum or a refuge for the deaf, its very origin was in the idea of educa- tion, and every recommendation, act, and resolution had in view^ the education of the deaf, making it purely an educa- tional institution. On Wednesday evening, February 22, 1854, just fifteen days after the introduction of that resolution. Col. Burt, from the Committee of Education, made the following report, to wit : Mr. Speaker : The Committee on Education have had under considera- tion the resolution of the House instructing them to enquire into the expediency of establishing an institution for the education of the deaf and dumb, and have instructed me ;o ^r->rt the following bill, and recommend that it do pass. The Mississippi Institution. 5 The report was received; the bill was read the first time and passed to the orders of the day. On the morning of the 28th of February Col. Burt called up this bill, and it was made the special order for that evening at 7 o'clock. When the hour arrived, on motion of Mr. Newman, of Warren county, the special order was taken up. The House resolved Itself mto committee of the whole, considered the bill, and reported it back without amendment and recommended its passage. The report was received and agreed to and the bill was read the third time. Mr. Liddell moved an amendment by way of a rider. The rider was read the first, second, and third times and passed. The question was then taken on the passage of the bill and rider and decided in the affirmative by the following vote : Yeas : Mr Speaker (Hon. Hiram Cassidy) of FrankJiu county, Messrs. Aus ell Anderson, Burt, Brown, Barksdale, Betters, Bernard, Beasly. Buck Burrus, Covington. Downs, Duckworth, Dubisson, Gilleland, Huntley Harper of Hinds, Holder, Helm, Foot, Liddell, Lewis, Mc iaiiren, Magee, Owen, Philips, Powe, Eozelle, Eawls, Kankin, Rhodes of Jackson, Regan, Shann<,n, Sharpe, Saddler, Stark, Strong, Swearin- gen, Thomas, Ward, and Wayne— 43. Nays: Messrs. Abbott, Autry, Boren, Bardin. Buckley, Dean, Dickens Elzy, Garrett, Gordon, Henderson, Hindman, Hamer, Jayne, Lott, McQueen, Mitchell, Monet, Newman, Rives, and Siddall-20. This bill was immediately reported to the Senate. At the afternoon session the next day, March 1st, Mr. Webb, senator from Pontotoc, called up the bill and it passed its second readmg. At this juncture Mr. D. W. Adams, an energetic senator from Hinds county, got the floor and called up several other bills, which were passed. Mr. J. M. Ackerman, of Mon- roe county, moved a reconsideration of the bHl and it was finally passed by the following vote : Ayes: Messrs. Adams, Arthur, Berry, Cobb. Farrar, Graves, Heming- way. Johnston, McWillie, Nelson, Pegues, West, and Webb-13 Nays: Mr. President (John J. Pettus), Messes. Beene, Banks, Ellett ■Greer, Keger, Oliver, Ramsay, and Stewart— 9. The bill was reported back to the House at the night session of this saTue day. Time was short ; the legislature, by a reso- lution already adopted by both houses, was to adjourn the next day. Mr. Siddall, from the Committee on Enrolled Bills, re- ported that the joint committee had found the bill correctly enrolled. It w.a.. then to be signed by the presiding officers of both houses, and be sent to the Governor for his approval The Mississippi Institution. before it could become a law. It was reported to the Gov- ernor that evening, signed or approved by him that evening, and reported back to the House on the morning of March 2. Thus was born, March 1, 1854, the Institution for the Educa- tion of the Deaf and Dumb of Mississippi. Those who are familiar with the workings of legislative bodies know that, with the opposition to this bill, there must have been some inter- ested, watchful, experienced, and influential friend to engineer it, when it was carried through so rapidly and skilfully, and so near the end of the session, the legislature having adjourned in less than twelve hours after it was reported back by the Governor. There being no other way of finding out who this friend was than from the journals of the House and Senate, the honor must be attributed to Col. E. K. Burt. Col. Burt was auditor of State at the breaking out of the war. He gave up his office, raised a company, and tendered his services to the Confederate Government. For his gallant conduct he was soon promoted to the colonelcy, and laid down his life in 1862, at the battle of Leesburg. The fortunes of war left no time or money to mai'k the graves of its heroes. Miss Cabaniss, who is and has been for so many years matron of the Institution, was an intimate friend of the daughters of this good man. In the absence of the tender, loved ones, at her own expense, she marked the spot where he was laid, and from that day to this she has, unconscious of the fact that he was the real founder of the Institution, watched over the tomb of a friend whose name will always be honored by the deaf of Mississijjpi. It behooves Mississippians to honor and revere the memory of such a friend of her institutions, such a distin- guished statesman and brave soldier. Col. Burt did not and could not have dreamed of the possi- bilities of this Institution, and he certainly legislated wiser than he knew. During the years 1890 and 1891 the superin- tendent attempted to gather the statistics as to occupations and annual earnings of those who had gone out from the Insti- tution since its foundation. These efforts resulted in showing that out of about three hundred who had been in the Institution, returns were received from only sixty-two, aggregating twenty-two different employ- ments, annual earnings of $13,158, and the total for the whole time, $131,257. Referring to this matter, the superintendent says in his report : The Mississippi Institution. f With two exceptions, these have all left the Institution since the war. The buildings, with all the records, were burned at that time, and there 18 no data from which to gather the facts previous to that period I have been exceedingly careful to prevent an exaggerated showing in the way of annual incomes. From these facts I have no hesitancy in stating that the pupils who have left the Institution since 1871 are now producing annually more than the legislature appropriates for the maintenance of the Institution. What better argument can be presented for the liberal support of this branch of public education ? Since that date (1871) about two hundred pupils have gone out into the world. Some of th'^se have died, some have moved and cannot now be located, and some report that they are making a living ;" many of the young ladies have married, and while they are not working for wages, they are filling the noble missions of wives and mothers, and reflecting credit upon their State and alma mater. This hst is being constantly increased, for there is not a year passes but some intelligent boys and girls, who have been receiving the State s bounty under the fostering care of the Institution, decline to be further assisted, join the busy throng, and take their places as good citi- zens and begin to bear their share of the burdens of government. On the 19fch of April foUowmg the passage of this bill Messrs. W. B. Smart, S. Pool, and F. C. Jones, trustees of the Institution for the Blind, organized as trustees of the Institu- tion for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb. Instead of en- larging the buildings of the Institution for the Blind as was contemplated in the act, and organizing a department for the deaf and dumb, the trustees very wisely purchased property and established an independent institution. They purchased the property on Capitol street, opposite the Governor's Man- sion, at $9,000, and opened the Institution for the reception of pupils August, 1854, with Mr. John H. Gazlay, a deaf-mute and a graduate of the New York Institution, as principal. The salary was insufficient and Mr. Gazlay resigned in a few months. Mr. Momf ort was then employed ; he soon resigned to accept a more lucrative position. The school was closed about the first of November, 1855, and up to the time of their first report, January, 1856, the trustees were unable to secure a principal on account of not being able to pay a sufficient salary. In March, 1856, the following board of trustees was ap- pointed by Gov. John J. McRae : Jo Bell, A. B. Cabaniss W W. Devine, John T. Hull, and W. H. Brown. It appears from the report made by this board January, 1857, that the school was closed about three months in 1856, because they were unable to got a teacher. The records do not show at what date the school was opened, but the trustees say: "We 8 The Mississippi Institution. secured, on June Ist following, Mr. BUhh, a deaf-mute, as a teacher, who remained about two mouths." On July Ist of the same year they employed as principal Rev. A. Pomroy, and Mrs. Pomroy as matron. Later in the year they em- ployed Mr. E. E. Bowes, a deaf-mute, as assistant teacher. Mr. Bowes had attended both the Ohio and Indiana Institu- tions as a pupil. The board seems anxious, and very naturally, for the future of the Institution, for they say in this report : *' How much longer this Institution is to exist must altogether depend upon the action of the present legislature." It is a pleasure to record that the legislature came to the rescue. In addition to the annual ajipropriation of $2,000 they made an increase of $6,000 a year. The trustees recommended in this report that the property then owned by the Institution in the city be exchanged for that known as St. Andrew's College, about one mile west of the city. This suggestion was adopted by the legislature and the exchange was made that year. Fifteen pupils were received during the year 1856 whose names are not given in the report. Rev. A. Pomroy made the first report as p'rincipal, in January, 1857. Among other things, he records the fact that Gen. Jo Bell, president of the board, handed him $5, with which, being increased by $2 from himself, they prepared the pupils a " sumptuous Christmas festival." The future of the Institution now seemed bright, indeed. With handsome and commodious buildings, an energetic and active principal, the legislature having provided all that was asked, the trustees naturally hoped for large prosperity. Whether there was any further trouble or not the record is silent ; but before the close of another year Mr. and Mrs. Pomroy quietly drop out and Mr. A. K. Martin, nephew of the distinguished founder, and for thirty-five years the successful superintendent of the Missouri Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, appears as super mtendent. Mr. Mar- tin was one of those educated, high-toned, chivalrous. Chris- tian Southern gentlemen, whose wide experience and liberal knowledge in the management and education of the deaf ren- dered him peculiarly well fitted to adorn this position. The following January Mr. Martin makes a lengthy report, in which the Institution a^jjiears in an exceedingly floui'ishing condition. It was in September of this year, 1857-, that Mv- , L. W. Saunders, who is still at his post, was first appointed The Mississippi Institution. 9 teacher. In the worck of Mr. Martin, Mr. Saunders was, at that time, "a promising young pupil, who has by his zeal and industry made such advances in the art of teaching as give good promise of his su(!cess. He is also indebted, for his ap- pomtment, to his genial temper and good moral character." With the exception of the years the Institution was closed on account of the war, Mr. Saunders has taught continuously in this Institution since his appointment in 1857. There seems to be no record of any other man having served Mississippi, in any capacity, for so many consecutive years. This history would not be complete without a special mention of this ^'promising young pupil" who has grown old in the service of the Institution, but whose energy and skill are yet being vigorously impressed upon the deaf of his native State It affords the compiler of this history great pleasure to bear this testimony. The next report is made in January, 1859, with thirty-four pupils enrolled. The crisis evidently has passed, the trustees think ; Mr. Martin is still in charge, and the Institution is in a highly prosperous condition. In September, 1860, Mr. Martin resigns to accept a similar position in the Louisiana Institution. By the first of October the board had secured the services of Mr. A. G. Scott, at that time principal of the Tennessee Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. The next report is made in 1861. During this time the number of pupils had increased from thirty-four to fifty- seven and everything seems to have prospered accordingly. For the first time this report gives a list of the officers and teachers. A new era is dawning upon our country. About this time "rumors of unsuccessful and successful wars " fill the air, and the dark clouds of civil strife begin to settle down upon this happy and prosperous people. Before another biennial term had passed, the iron heel of War was on the neck of this child of State, and she lay trampled in the dust. The buildings were burned, this beautiful and happy home was desolated, and the unfortunate and helpless childi-en were left, it seemed, to the doom of darkness and ignorance. It will not be out of place here to inject the following extract from the message of Gov. Pettus sent to the legislature, Monday. November 4 1861: ' 10 The Mlssiatsippi rnstitution. It is ray piiiiiftil duty to inform you that Col. E. 11. Hurt, auditor of public iictrountH, fell mortally wounded at the battle of LeesburK, while gallantly leading a regiment of MisHisHippi'H l)rave sons to one of the most brilliant victories which has come to our arms during the war. These are limes that try men's souls. The deaf of MisHiwaippi can never cease to honor the State tor what it has done for them. Inexorable war had brought death and destruction and ahnoat famine, yet amid all this desolation the representatives of the people did not forget the deaf, as will be seen from the following section, taken from an act of 1862 and 1863 : Be it enacted by the legMature of the State of MmiHdppi, That the trustees of the Mississippi Institution for the Deaf and Dumb be au- thorized and hereby empowered to place the deaf and dumb orphans in their charge, and such others in the State as are similarly situated, in some suitable institution for the deaf and dumb in or out of the State until the trustees of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb properly fit up and organize the same for the reception of scholars. The same act appropriated $7,000 annually to enable the trustees to carry out this provision. The next legislature not only provided for the orphans, but, to ufce the words of the act, " for the deaf-mutes who have been or may be under the pupilage of the Institution for that class." No one can say that Mississippi has neglected her deaf children, when, amid the roar of the cannon and while the circling smoke of battle ascended up to heaven as incense from the altar upon which the flower of her manhood has been offered a willing sacrifice, she takes time to stop and provide for their wa tits. "What an incentive to the deaf to become honorable and useful citizens! This history from April 23, 1862, to October 21, 1865, can best be told by the following reports, which read like a novel : Report of the Joint Standing Committee on the Deaf anj Dumb Institution. Mr. President : The Joint Staudiu<,' C'ommittee on the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb beg leave respectfully to report that they have en- deavored to discharge their duty in the best Manner they coulil with the meagre information they have been able to obtain. We have not visited the grounds on which the builuings once stood, because we dfcuied it unnecessary, having learned that th- • were all destroyed by the fortunes of war. The impoverished condition of the finances of the State preclude the possibility of appropriations being made, such as ••vill be re-inisito for erecting suitable buildings for this Institution, except, perhaps, some The Musi SSI ppi Institution. \ \ amftll buildings for temporary use, und which niuy hereafter he used for workshops, etc., by the Iimtitution, as iudiciited by the board of trusteeH m their report to his Ex.-oileney Gov.

We woul.l recouunend that the atii.ual appropriations now made by law to this Institution bo used by the said board of trustees for the purpose of boarding and tuition of the indigent deaf-mutes until sueh time as the State may be able to put the Institution again int., succesgful operation In examining into the facts as presented in relation to the burning of the building by the Federal forces, and the general destruction of the property of the Institution, we find nothing to allege in condemnation of the trustees and managers of the Institution, but, on the contrary, we verily believe they did the best they could under the circumstances. The destructi.,n of the property is a calamity much to be deplored, especially at such a time as this, when the treasury of the State is empty and the people of the State unable to bear the weight of a heavy taxation. We still recommend this unfortunate class of our fellow-creatures to the fostering care of the State. She has adopted them, and through weal or woe, riches or poverty, she ought to do the best she can for them. And although we cannot recommend appropriations at the present crisis of our affairs for the purpose of erecting an asylum for them on a magnifl- cent scale, yet we would not have you for a moment lose sight of ths important object and its consummation at the earliest possible time con- sistent with paramount public interest.

It had clearly been conducted to a success, and stood a proud exemplification of the gene- rosity of the State and the energy and capacity of her citizens. In this condition war found this benevolent Institution. Soon the thunder of artillery was heard in our l,ind ; battles were fought and blood flowed as a great river. Our mangled soldiers came pouring into our city, and every house that could be used for a liospital was demanded, and these poor God-stricken creatures were turned from their eomfwrtublc home to make room for the bleeding soldier This was done cheerfully by the managers; the soldier must be cared for and 12 Tlw Mhxisxippi InstUntioi). the (lt>af-inute. for a time, turnfld over to his forinor friends.

In the mean- time we jiropose (as the law now allows) to send the orphans to the cheapest and best Institution in our rea<'h. ♦ ♦ ♦ The above is moat respectfullv submitted. A. B. CAHANISH, GEO. L. I'OTTEU, W. Q. POINDEXTEK, 2^ru»teen of Asi/liim for the Deaf and Dumb. The proviHionH made in ii part of au act quotetl above con- tinued till February 13, 18(5!). Up to thin date the IiiHtitution was entirely dependent upon the whimH of the legislature, as that body could hfeve abolished it at any time. Fortunately for the deaf, when the constitution of Mississippi, which was adopted in 1869, was drawn up, some friend was thoughtful enough to secure their interest by the enactment of the fol- lowing clause, viz : It shall be the duty of the le^dslature to provide by hiw for the sup- port of institutions for the education of the deaf, dumb, and l)lind. This jirovision was re-enacted in the constitution of 1890 ; consequently the education of the deaf of Mississippi is an assured fact until this part of her organic law is repealed. In obedience to this provision, the legislature of 1871 re- organized and rebuilt the Institution, and its history has been one of continual progress from that day to this. Under the act authorizing the rebuilding of the Institution, Gov. Alcorn appointed a board of trustees, which proceeded at once to pur- chase grounds and l)uildings. After visiting various sites in Jackson and other cities, the property now occupied, and at that time owned by Mrs. Edward Yerger, and some adjoining, was secured for $2G,000 in State warrants. The board met July 8, 1871, and elected Dr. J. L. Carter, as then meiiioc )f the bo."ird, as principal. The school w opened on December 1, 1871, and in his first report, December The Miniiimlpjn Inatitntum.

Before the next annual report wan made, Dr. Carter resigned, and in referring to that subject the board said:. "The Insti- tution continued under the efficient management of its former principal, Dr. J. L. Carter, until October 23, lb7(J, at which time, very much to the regret of all interested in its prosperity, he tendered his resignation and removed to another State." Dr. M. S. Craft, a member of the board of trustees, was put in charge of the Institution during the interim. On the 16th of November following, Mr. Charles H. Talbot, for many years 14 The Mississippi Institution. a succesHful teacher in the Kentucky lustitutioa, was appointed to fill this vacancy. The next Decembei' forty pupils were reported as having been received during the year. Mr. Talbot was confronted with a large deficit hanging over the Institution. The board asked for $12,38G with which to liquidate this debt and carry the Institution through the next year. It appears the legisla- ture appropriated only $10,182, but by the careful management and judicious purchases of Mi-. Talbot the indebtedness was J. R. DOBYNS, M. A. paid, and all expenditures for the year were met and a balance was reported of $700. This report shows forty-one jjupils present. In 1877 an amendment to the constitution changes the sessions of the legislature from annual to biennial. The next report appeared in 1878, and seventy -one pupils had been received during that time. In the summer of 1878, it will be remembered, the terrible epidemic of yellow fever visited this city, and the school was not opened till December. This is Mr. Talbot's last report, Decamber, 1879. Before another biennial term passed, he tendered his resignation, to take effect March 1, 1881, and returned to his native State, where he has The Mississippi Insiituf.ion. 15 enjoyed the quiet aud comfort of an elegant country home and indulged in the luxuriant abundance of a magnificent Kentucky blue-grasB farm. Mr. Talbot was a Christian man of great force of character and splendid financial abiUty, and was successful in carrying the Institution through the most trying financial period of the State's history. On January 10, 1881, Mr. J. B. Dobyns, the present incum- bent, was elected to succeed Mr. Talbot, and entered upon his duties March 1 following. During the biennial term ending December 31, 1881, there were received ninety- two pupils, and sixty eight reported pres- ent at that time. In his report for 1880 and 1881, the super- intendent recommended the introduction of articulation teach- ing, the teaching of trades, the purchase of more ground, and the erection of a school building, and provision for the educa- tion of colored deaf, all of which recommendations were adopted by the board and provided for by the legislature. The printing office was opened, and on April 1, 1882, the publication of the Deaf -Mute Voice was begun, which has cont.uued, with the exception of a few months in the latter part of 1889 and the beginning of 1890. The teacliing of articulation was begun in November, 1882, by Miss Mossie McGann, whose successful history of six years' teaching in this Institution and whose untimely death in 1889 are still fresh in the memory of the profession. The separate department for colored pupils was opened October 1, 1882, and has continued to grow during the ten years of its existence. In December, 1883, an epidemic of typhoid fever prevailed in the Institution, and, continuing to grow more and more seri- ous, the school was dismissed in March, 1884. Though there were many cases of the fever, there was but one death. The entu-e history of the Institution records only six deaths among the pupils while in school. There were under instruction in 1882 and 1883 eighty pupils, with seventy nine present when the report for those years was made. During 1884 and 1886 there were enrolled one hundred and ten, with eighty present December 31, 1885. About this time the De I'Epee Literary Society was organ- ized for the pupils, and has continued its regular monthly meetings, much to the entertainment and profit of its members. In April, 1886, the Sixth Conference of Principals and Super- intendents was held here, which became an important part of 16 The Mississijypi Institution. the history of this Institution. There were present at this Conference representatives from twenty-four States and two Provinces of Canada. This Conference was signaUzed as the "Gallaudet Conference," in which was celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Thomas Hopkins Gal- laudet, the founder of the education of the deaf in America. «»Hii'» Iltiifiiipil^"- " ^ W >.!^K* MISSISSIPPI INi^TlTlTION FOll THE 1>KAI' AND DVMP.

There were received in 1888 ninety-six, and in 1889 ninety-five, with eighty- four present at the close of that year. There were enrolled in 1890 one hundred, and in 1891 ninety-five, with eighty-two The Mississipj>i Institution. 1 7 present when the report was made. There were received in 1892 ninety-one, and up to this writing, in 1893, ninety-three have been admitted. This Institution is supported entirely by appropriations made by the legislature and has never received a donation or bequest. It is free to all the deaf of the State who cannot be taught m the public schools ; the age of admission and time of re- maming under instruction have been very wisely left to the discretion of the board of trustees. The course of study is about what is taught in the public schools of the State, and the average pupil who remains nine or ten sessions is well equipped for the battle of life. The combined system is the one m use. It is the constant aim of the management to supplement their education with some useful trade, so that they will go out into the worid producers instead of consumers. Brief as this history is, it required days of searching among the musty records of state, and should its friends find any material omissions or mistakes it is hoped they will attribute them to incomplete records and the limited time allowed for its jjreparation. Thus ends a brief account of the record made by this Insti- tution, which record would, undoubtedly, make an important and interesting chapter in a complete history of Mississippi. Let the deaf of Mississippi uncover their heads and lift up their hearts in gratitude for the rivers of blessings that hava been flowing from this Institution for aU these years. APPENDIX.
