Georgia cademy for the Blind for the year end-

ing December 31, 1917, in order that thi l' port may

Owing to the fact that the Legi lature do not

comene for ix month after the end of the :fi cal

'hould be mentioned in this report, it has been the

cu tom to delay the recommendation for thi, re-

elude all matter which hould be brouO'ht to th at-

tention of the Legi lature. For thi rea on th fol-

lowino' report bear date of lay 25, 191. The ta-

EXPENDITURES.
The amount expended throuO'h the office of the sup rintend nt wa $28,790.77.

These are fully set forth in the report of the treasurer. The


amounts expended and the purposes for which they are expended are set forth in the following state- ' ment:

HEALTH RECORD.
The general health of pupils during the year 1917 ha been good. During the J ear we had no epidemics and no eriou sicknes. In January and February, 1918 we had a slight epidemic of German measles and two severe cases of pneumonia. both of which recovered satisfactorily. There has been no form of sickness which could in any way be traced to unsanitary surroundings. The white
11

school has been exceedingly fortunate in health condition ince moving to its new location. During the twelve year ince thi move wa made only one pupil has died at the white school, and this death "a due to organic di ease which exi ted at the time he wa admitted to the chool.
During the year 1917 operation for the improvement of vi ion were performed on nine of the pupil b Dr. Pennington, a competent oculi t. In no ca e \Va the amount of vision deer a ed and in
ome the improvem nt wa uch a to give hope that within a hort while, following other operatiolli3 to b perfol'me 1, th e pupil "Till be able to -fini. h th('il' ('ducation in public chool.
LITERAllY DEPARTl\IE-NT.
In th :ml1mer of 1917 a larger numl l' of pupil than u ual compl ted their cour e of in truction. In addition a f w pupils who e work had hown that . it wa impo sibl for th m to be ducat d weI' dropped from the roll. For thi rea on the attendance on op ning of th fall t I'm wac::: mall I' than u. ual, an 1on t acher wa di continu d, th ervice of th remaining teach rs beino-con idered adequat for th number of pupil .

In this department the ame teach I' and the same method. of in truction have continued a. in form r Year. _ The re. ult. have be n incr a ingly
12

'ati 'fa tory. ~pecial mention 'hould b made of the chom work and the work of the violin chooL. In truction is offered in piano, organ, violin, cornet, voice training, chorus inging, ruu ical theory, and harmony. The mu ic department hold a pupil recital the first Friday night in each month throughout the 'chool year. Thi recital is intended to train pupil to appeal' i It public, and our exp rien e indi ate that a mu ic l' cital of thi kind before.a mall but appreciati\'e audi DC i nlU h better than the u 'ual commencellJent held once a yea l' before a large and 'ometillle' unal pre -ialivl' ~L1<'lln -.

"e a 1'(' p(ruliarly fortunate in our mal1Ual training teachers and after having. een the manual training work of mo. t
13

of the more prominent 'chool of the nited State, I do not hesitate to say few, if :111)' of thf~m, are gi en better in truction in manual training than our pupils are getting.
In the departmen~for the boys instruction is given in loyd, wood work, metal work, shoe cobbling, chair caning, broom making and piano tuning. The girl are taught plain sewing, knitting, crocheting, mat weaving, ba ket making, chair caning and vatiou forms of fancy work.
On account of being under the necessity of aV')l(ling all unnece ary expen e , we did not have an exhibit at the tate Fair in the fall of 1917. As oon a condition will warrant we hope to resume these exhibits at the Fair, a we think it is an economical and ati factory way of bringing our work to the attentIOn of the people of the State.
PRY !CAL CULTURE DEPARTMEJ: T.
Owino' to the great d mand for Y. 1. C. A. intructor for war work, we were unable to secure the ervic s f lr. Gilmor after June 1 t, 1917. During the lUlID1 l' vacation, Mis Helen Whitaker, our t acher of violin, took a special course in physical culture at Columbia niver itT, ew York City, and in eptember, 1917, took charge of the physical culture work in the in titution. She ha devoted special attention to the development of game and the plaT in tinct of our pupils. This is mo t frequently neglected in blind children, becau e there are not many athletic games that they can play with seeing children, and unless games are devised for them, they do not playas much as normal children. They seem to have taken enthusiastic interest in their athletic work, and good results have been shown in the continued good health of the student body.

TYPEWRITER DEPARTMENT.
During 1917 the pupils in typewriting made very marked improvement. For "a few specially diligent pupils typewritmg may be 'a means of earning money, but this is not the principal purpo e aimed at in teaching typewriting in this in titution. Its greatest value lies in the fact that it train pupils in spelling, it acquaint them with th form of printed matter a used by eeing peopl , and it furni he them a mean of ommunication with their eeing friend. WetI' to impre them "ith th idea that while point type i nece ary for their own u e in reading and in making private r cOl'cl ,that ince they are to live in a world of eein o' people, they must learn to use the ordinary m an of communication instead of those whi hare p culiar to th blind. We have purcha ed a di taphone anI a. pupils develop sufficient skill they will have opportunity of trainin0" them elve in the op ration of thi machine. By it aid blind people of ufficient intelliO'ence and industry can fr quentl~T O'et employment in carrying on corre pondence in lines of bu ine which could not afford to pay the alar. of an expert stenographer. Thi d partment i new in the in titution, but its work ha been highly ati factory, and give promise of increasing usefulnes .
COLORED DEPARTMENT.
During the year 1917 the colored chool uffered a most seriou 10 in the death of Sarah fcKinley. She wa a highly trained and efficient teacher, earnestly devoted to her work, and in every way trustworthy. During the time that she wa principal at the colored school both the Board and Superintendent felt the most perfect confidence both in her willingness and ability to successfully manage the school. She died November 2nd 1917.
After her death, the school was operated by appointing Laura Lloyd as matron of the school and giving to Rosa Atkin~on a part of the literary work,
16

in additon to the teaching of mu ic, which had prevjou ly been done by her. There 11a' been no change in the cope of the work during the year, nor in th detail of in truction. In order to ave I ac lbo' to make reference to former reports for any data of thi character.
"CAR ONDITIO or
The pa t 'winter ha produced unu ual condition~ in a great many respect, growing out of th world war. GoverlllTI nt reo11lation regarding food and fuel have made the problem of an in titution uch a:; the cademy for the Blind more than u uaily hflicult. During a, part of the wint l' it ,va a J'iou matt l' to f:ecur ('nough coal for tJI no cl.. of th in titutioll. \\ managed to d '0, but in Rome ca e.. the coal waR oC a vcr)' inferior quality, and was v ry much more xpen iy than in form l' year " \f succc declo how ,er, in gettin o' throuo'h th school y ar without eriou uff ring an I without d priving our pupil of a . uffici nt uppl~~ of whole omc food.
Th pupil ha, hown a fine pirit in bearing whate,el' d privation. ,,,er(> l1cceu ary. and in carrying out th gOY rnn1C'nt '. program l'I. nearly a. no.ibl(>. Durino- the winter the Acadcmy hon. 1Iold ha, knit thirt~--thl' e ~weat r" ten pair. wri,tl t nin muff] 1', and 011(> helmet. In addition many ha, bought Lib rty Bond and War avino-s Rtamps, If it hould come to pas that number. of our sol(liers hould be blinded in the war, in. titution of this kind will have to furnish many of th in:,tructor. neces aI', to re-train these men for life, In ueh a case our school will tand ready to do f v rything in it power to serve the e brave d('fel1 rlers of our common country.
IN REA. ED ApPROPRIATION,
The appropriation made by the legislature for thf' year 1918 carried an increa e of ix thousand
18

dollar over the previou year. 'Ve hay been a economical a pos ible in our expenditure, and han~ made only such repair and improvement as eemed absolutely necessary. 'Ih co t of Y \I'Y many of the necessities of life ha been more than doubled in the la t eighteen month and ther e m to be no immediate pro pect of I' duction in the co t of the nece itie. It ha been ne ary to inrea e the alary of all the mploy e' in amounts ranlYing from 12% per cent. to 25 per cent. Even with thi increa e we hall not be abl to retain 'ome of onr pre ent taff for the coming y ar. 'Yith the pro pect of large number bing. pe dily, draft d in the army the labor situation eems likely to grow worse instead of bett l' during the coming wintrr. In view of thi itnation I do not .. e ho" it will he pos ible to maintain the in titution on I s than the pre ent appropriation of thirty- i..-x thou and dollars. I th refore I' p ctfully and earn tl~ I' que t that th Board recommend to the lelYi latu" that the appropriation for the year 1919 hall not be Ie than for the year 1918.

FINANCIAL REPORT
Bon. A. L. Mille1', Pre .,
Macon, Ga.
My DEAR IR: I haye the honor to hand you under cover with this my report on the receipt and expenditure for the Georo'ia Academy for the Blind covering the period from Jan. 1, 1917, to Dec. 31, 1917. You will :find two tatement ubmitted you, one for the l' c ipt and disbur ement of the $30,000.00 appropriated by the Gen ral A sembly for the upport of the Academ~T for th calendar year of 1917; al 0 report on the income ari inlY from the inve tment of ecuritie belonginlY to what is knO'i\1'l1
17

as the Pupils Fund. While none of the corpus of thi trust fund came from the State Treasury it has been my custom to keep the Governor and General Assembly, through you, advised as to its status. There is also a small ball'lnf'I"\ ~" -'1Y hands deposited at the Fourth ational Bank of Macon amounting to $151.72, thi being the remainder of a special appropriation made July, 1915, by the General Asembly for the purchase of type"writers, locker and other upplies for the benefit of the pupils. I am not making a tatement of this becau e one wa rendered for 1916 showing a balance of $151.72, which is till on hand and unchanged at thi wl'iting. I re pectfully suggest that you obtain permission of the Legislature to transfer this small balance to the Maintenance account and thus clo e it on my books.
It will be observed that the appropriation for 1917 did not quite support the In titution and that your Trea urer had to advance some $596.75 in the payment of current bills and expenses.
The appropriation made for 1918 hould care comfortably for all of our want and I trust that the General embly in it wisdom ma see fit to appropriate for our uses a similar sum for 1919 in order that we may care properly for these unfortunate wal'ds of the tate. Tbprp;~ no OTeater charity than this.
t the last meetinO' of the Board fes I' . W. P. Coleman and Geo. S. J one were appointed a committe of two to examine the Treasurer' books, hi~ voucher for expenditures, hi balance in bank and ecurities belonO'inO" to the Pupils' Fund. This work has been carefully and thoroughly done by your committee and the report which I am herewith submitting bear their sio"nature and a-pproval.
I have th honor to be, V ry re p ctfully, T. D. TIN LEY, Trea met".
