GEORGIA ACADEMY FOR THE BLIND, MACON, GA.
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF :rHE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1907, AND ENDING JANUARY 1. 1908
To His Excellency, Hon. Hoke Smith, GoveYncy of Geor-
gUl.
DEAR SIR: In behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia cademy for the Blind, and in compliance with the laws of the State of Georgia, I have the honor of ubmitting this my report a pre ident of said board for the year 1907. . Owing to delay in completing the new building, the white department wa not opened for the reception of pupil until farch 6, 1907. The colored chool hegan it- es ion at the u ual time in January and continued it work throughout the year a u ual. On account of the white chaol having been clo ed for more than a year, it wa found difficult to locate many of the pupil, and for that rea on not all of the old pupil returned.
Many of the familie repre-entec1 in the academy seem to be very migratory in their habit" and although letters have been repeatedly ent to them some of the old pupils can not be located.. otwith tanding thi fact, the enrollment for the year ha been very satisfactory. The enrollment in the white department wa 83, 39 boy and 44 girl-. The enrollment in the colored department was 34, 25 boys and 9 girl. Total enrollment for both department, 117.

4
The general health of the pupils ha been good. 0 ca e of eriou ickne s have been reported during tile year. The health record of the \"hite ~chool ha been phenomenally good, thus confirming the wisdom of movjng this department to more commodiou quarter where the pupil would have better opportlU1ities for getting an abundance of exerci e and fresh air.
The cour e of tudy pur ued in the literary department i the -ame a that given in the academy for 3everal years. In the white school it cover a period of ten year ; in the colored school, eight years, and is intended to gi\'e the ame course that i given in the standard g~ammar chool and the standard junior high school for ~eeing children. Of course, the tudies and methods l1ave to be omewhat different on account of t:le di .abilitie' and needs of blind children.
During the year industrial training has been given m broom making and chair caning in both c:lool". Before the end of the pre ent year we hope to add piano tuning,
manual training and loyd. Some work :,as been done
in phy ical culture, the good effects of which have been very evident. We hope to thoroughly equip thi department at once and broaden the scope of it work. The phy ical development of blind children is abnormally low, and they need careful training in this respect much more than seeing children.
As usual, music has been made a prominent feature of the work. All pupils are given a chance to learn to play the piano or some other instrument. Most of them do not achieve very marked success. This would be the

5
ca e with the ame number of seeing children. few of the pupil ho\\ marked ability. and give promi e of being elf- upporting a teacher. \Yithin a ;lort time in truction will be given in voice culture and pipe orO'an playinO'.
The 'uperintenclent ha made monthly report to the board of the progress of the chool, and ab tracts of the e report have been included in the minute of tile board and a made a matter of record. _ 0 printed report of the operation of the chool ha been i ued ince the c1o'inO' of the white department in 1905, for the rea on that ne\\' cuts mu t be made to explain and illu trate the work in the new Cjuarter-. Owing to the increa ed co t of liying, the usual appropriati n ha not been ufficient to meet the expen es of the in titution, and the board ha thought it best not to incur the expen e nece ary to i sue a printed report. It is hoped that by the clo e of the pre ent year the appropriation for the school will have been increa ed sufficiently to enable us to resume the publication of the annual report for the information of the public. On account of thi report not being printed, I have included in my report 'orne of the data u ually furni hed by the report of the superintendent, and have given ome of the detail of the work being done at the academy.
The report of the tre~surer of the board i attached hereto, giving in detail the receipts and disbur ements of the year covered by this report.
\ ith increased facilities and improved equipment for serving the blind children of the State, we confidently

6
hope that the Georgia Academy for the Blind i3 entering :upon an era of larger usefulness than ever before.
In one of the paragraphs above I write that I attach to this report the report of the treasurer, but since writing the above I learn that' he has already forwarded to your Excellency Jus report, which please have attached in your office to this report.
I am your obedient servant, BEN. C. SMITH,
President q.f the Board of Trustee3 of rt:he Georgia Academy for the Blind.
"REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON NEW BUILDING FOR THE WHITE DEPARTMENT
To His Excellency, Hon. Hoke Smith, Governo'r of Georgia. DEAR SIR: In behalf of the Board of Trustees of the
Georgia Academy for the Blind, I have the honor of submitting to you this, the report of their acts and doings in connection with the sale of the 'White Academy buildings and grounds, the purchase of a new site and toe erection thereon of a new and more suitable building, as authorized and directed by the General Assembly of Georgia by an Act approved August 13, 1904.
Said bill authorized and directed the board of trustees "to sell, either at public or private sale, as they may deem best) and for a sum not less than fifty thousand . ($50,000) dollars, the present lot and buildings toereon,
/

7

in the city of Macon, between Orange and College streets,

and now occupied by said Academy for the Blind."

The said bill further enacted "that the said trustees

shall, with the money 50 realized from 5aid sale, pur-

chase in some location lying near toe city of Macon

larger and more commodious grounds, not less than

twenty acres in extent, and erect thereon all necessary

buildings for the pu.rpose of said institution; the 5ame

to be not more than two stories in height and of the

lCitest modern design, for the accommodation, protection

and education of blind children."

Toe bill further provided for the suspension of the

white department pending the construction of the new

building.

In compliance with said Act, the Board of Trustees at

.

a meeti'ng held September 3, 1904, directed the secre-

tary "to prepare an advertisement to be inserted in the

papers of Macon, Atlanta, Savannah and Augusta, call-

ing for bids for the present b.uildings and g.rounds." In

response to these advertisements a number of bids were

received. The first bids received contained conditions

and limitations which the board deemed it unwise to

accept, and it was not until April 13, 1905, that a bid

was received wh.ich in every respect complied with the

terms of the Act of Legislature authorizing the sale.

On April 13, 1905, the North Highlands Land Com-

pany, of Macon, Ga., submitted through its president,

W. B. Sparks, "an offer of fifty thousand ($5,000)

dollars, cash, for the present lot and buildings thereon

8
111 the 'tcity of :Ylacon, be~tween Orlange and College treet , now occupied by said eademy for the Blind, to be delivered by or before June IS, 1905."
t a meeting of the Board of Tru tee, held pril 17, 1905, a re-olution wa pas ed that the offer of the ort:1 Highland Land Company "be, and i hereby, accepted, with the provi 0 that uch article as may be nominated by thi board through T. D. Tin ley, ecretary, for re ervatiol1 without co t to thi board, be agreed to by aid North Highland. Company.'
At a meeting of the board held fay 29, 1905, a deed to the above de-cribed property was signed by the memo bers of the board and formally delivered to W. B. Spark, pre ident of the North Highland Company, and the urn of fifty thousand dollar \\"a by him paid to the board of tru tee .
number of building ite \yere offered for ale to the board, and after careful examination, the board decided to purcha e a twenty-acre tract of the Huff lands, situated on the Forsyth road near Crump's Park, and at a meeting held August I, 1905, a pecial committee was "directed and empowered to finally clo e the transaction, receive the deed and have the same recorded," and the trea urer wa directed "to pay over to the proper parties authorized to receive the -ame the sum of twelve thouand ($12,000) dollars for the said twenty acres, making pa.ymen! for same from the $50,000 received from the ale of the old academy lot and buildings."
At a meeting held September 6, 1905, the board accepted the plans for a new building submitted by Mr.

9

Alexander Blair, and direct~d him to prepare specifica-

tions according to these plans.

On December 7th these plans were submitted to the

board, with the acc::>mpanying specifications, and a reso-

h:tion was passed directing that advertisements be pub-

lished asking for bids, the said bids to be opened January

4, 1906 Seven bids were submitted in response to this adver-

tisement. When the bids were opened the lowest was

found to be above $90,000, a sum considerably in excess

of the amount available 'for the purpose of building.

After much deliberation and c::>nsultation, it was decided

to build a portion of the building as originally planned,

making] such modifications as might be necessary to suit

it to present needs; and to complete the building later

according to the original plans, if sufficient funds could

be obtained.



At a meeting of the board, January 2o, 1906J bids

were opened for the construction of a building according

to the modified plan. The contract was awarded to
Messrs. J. H. McKenzie's Sons, ugusta, Ga., for the

sum of fifty-one thousand nine hundred eighty ($51,980)

dollars, this being considered the lowest and best bid.

The contract specified that the building must be com-

pleted by September I, 1906.

In the summer of 1906, and before the completion of

this contract, the Legislature appropriated the sum of

sixty-five thousand dollars for the completion of the

building according to the original plans, for building a

10
sewer, and equIpping] the building and Qeautifying the grounds.
On the 16th of ugust, 1906, the board made a con-
tract with J. H. McKenzie's Sons, of Augusta, Ga., to
complete the building as originally planned for the additional sum of forty-five thousand nine hundred eightyfive ($45,985) dollars. This additional contract necessarily delayed the completion of the building beyond the time specified in the first contract. Building operations were still further delayed by the unusual difficulty experienced during the winter of 1906-7 in securing labor and building material of all kinds, so that it was not until March 6, 1907, that a sufficient portion of the building was completed to permit the white school to be opened.
The building was completed and at the meeting of December 18, 1907, the treasurer was directed to pay
J. H. McKenzie's Son the balance due t:lem on con-
tract. The board has carried out the instructions of the
Legislature, with the exception of completing the sewer and the grading and improvement of the grounds. Progress has Qeen made in all these particulars, but on account of circumstances the board has not deemed it wise to make undue haste in these matters. The construction of the ewer is still delayed on account of the failure to ecure the right of way. The board hopes to reach a atisfactory solution of this problem within a short time. There is still a balance of the original appropriation in the hands of the trea urer of the board and in the State

11

treasury which will probably be suffic}ent to complete the

work as contemplated, although the final co't of the

sewer ha~ not yet been determined for the reason that

the route has not been definitely settled.

The ources from \\ hich the board has received the

funds for the construction of the new building have

been the tun realized from the :;ale of the old buftding

and grotmds, the special appropriation qy the Legisla-

ture of 1906, and the unexpended balance of the main-

tenance fund during the u pen ion of the w~ute depart-

ment, which the board was authorized to use for the new

building by special resolution of the Legislature. The

report of the treasurer, hereto attached, and to which

reference is made as a part of this report, gives a detailed

..

account of the receipt and di bursement of these funds .

The board takes plea ure in presenting to the State

this completed building. Vie believe it to be in every

way worthy of the State and of the noble purpose to

\\ hich it i dedicated and to the best of our ability we

have endeavored to carry out the letter and spirit of the

Act authorizing its construction.

The new cademy for the Blind is situated in Vine-

ville, one of the prettiest uburb of Macon, and is about

two and one-half.miles from the City Hall. The grounds

have 980 feet front on the For yth road, along which

run the city water main an electric light circuit and the

Vineville street-car line. The building is modeled after

that of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind at

Overbrook, a subupb of Philadelphia. The Overbrook

building is considered one of the best of its kind in the

12
world, certainly the best in the United States. It was not possible to reproduce all the good points of the Overbrook building with the funds at our disposal, since that building cost $300,000, and with its grounds and equipment represents an outlay of approximately a halmillion dollars. We think the most salient features have been preserved, and that we have a building admirably adapted to our needs. The "tructure i' two stories high, is constructed of brick, with concrete foundations and artificial stone trimmings. The front and wings have a roof of red tile, the auditorium and gymnasium are covered with "ruberoid" and tar and gravel, and the dining-room and kitchen have a roof of tin. All recitation-rooms and work-room are on the first floor, and all dormitories and living-room are on the second floor. The bathrooms and toilet-rooms and lavatories are fitted up with porcelain fixtures of the most most modern and approved patterns. The building is supplied with water from the city mains, is lighted throughout by electricity and heated by steam. The heating is done by the Warren Webster vacuum system, the steam being furnished by two sixty-horse power boilers. Only one of these was required to keep the building comfortable during the past winter. There are about 750 feet of covered porches with cement floor", on which the pupils can take exercise in all kinds of weather. The kitchen and laundry also have cement floors. The auditorium is fitted with folding oak seats, and contains a most excellent pipe organ, which has ~een thoroughly overhauled and rebuilt by a skilled organ builder.

13
On the first floor are located two officesJ two parlors, six recitation-rooms, twelve manual-training rooms, fourteen music-room, the auditorium, gymnasium, dining-room, kitchen and storeroom. The laundry and boiler-room are in the basement under the dining-room and kitchen. On the -econd floor are dormitories to accommodate eighty pupil-, and bedrooms for the teachers and other employees of the in titution. Additional dormitory accommodations can be provided by using some of the manual-training room, four of these having been constructed with this purpose in view. We think the building is sufficiently large to care for the blind children of the State for a long time to come. Experience has shown that as intelligence increases, the percentage of blindness decreases. In no ca-e has the percentage of blindness kept pace with the increase in population.
It has been a pleasure to the members of this board to aid in carrying out so worthy an undertaking. Without the help which this institution give the blind children of the State would have little chance to become either useful or happy. In addition to being unfortunate, most of them would become miserable, and, moreover, would become a public charge.
I am your obedient -ervant, BEN. C. SMITH}
President of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia Academy for the Blind.
