REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE Georgia Academy for the Blind JUNE, 1921 '1'0 His Excellency H GH ~1. DORSEY GoVe1'1W1' of Georgia. IR : omplying with the law governino- the Georgia Academy for the Blind, I respectfully . ubmit for the Trustees of that institution a record of it operations for the year, 1920. I t / beg that you "'ill have thi record printed at an early date in order that it may sooner reach the member of the General A embly for their consideration. To thi end I am sending In the report orne week earlier thi year than heretofore becau e the need. of th Academy are uro-ent and I am anxiou that they shall not bc ov ['looked 01' over-. haaowed by the pre sure in favor of other tate institution. This i probably th maUest of the tate educational intitution. At the am time it is mo t pathetic and it claim. on the intere. t and the ympathy of 0111' prople i.. uperior t,o that of all thr othrrR. The important matters in this paper which I am now submitting througbt thr Executive to the Legi.lature are contained in the report. of l\fr. G. F. Oliphan, uperintendent. and the '1'rea 'urer 'JIr. T. D. TinRle~. They how in full detail what has been done with every dollar appropriated to the Academy for the preceding year, and ~Ir. Oliphant's re- ,3 port shows in itemized detail the urgent needs of the institution for the oming year. We 'are asking for only a continuance of the appropriation of $40,000.00 for the general maintenance fund, but also for a special appropriation of $12 000.00 in addition to cover the variou n ed et out in the uperintendent' report. Of course, if this reque t for the pecial appropriation is denied. the amount naturally will steadily inqrease, because the 'needed repairs and repleni hing. will become greater as the ypars go by. Attached to thiJ paper i a1. 0 the lIsual report. of thr physician and oculi t. A stated in previous reports, they are called in only a the occasion requires. This plan we find more economical than to pay them salaries. Their reports how a gratifying condition a to the healfh and well-being of both white and colored pupils. In conclu ion I beg to add that I believe this i the one institution in the State that never in its history has hOWD a deficit for the State to pay at the end of the year. We do not buy what we cannot pay for with the amount of money appropriated to the operation of the Academy. If we do not receive the appl'Opriation a ked for, w will simply do the be t we can with the appropriations that are granted. Thi paper give the fact just as they exist and I will be glad to attend meetings of the propel' committees of the General ssembly and together with the uperintendent furnish (lny additional information that may he desired as to all matters contined in this report.

In my la t report I di us. ed at ome length both manual training and typewriting in r lation to the edn ation of the blind. To ave pa e I beg to l' fer you to that report for furth l' information.

There ha been no death among the pnpils during the year, and no ca e of erious illnes . In. tru tion in the Literary Department ha included the am ubject a heretofore, and covered approximately the subject taught in th grammar grades of the Public Schools. In the musi department in truction ha been given in Piano, Org-an and inging. The work of th )Ianual Training D partment ha been confined largely to chair can ina for the boy. A great deal of this 12 kind of work i available in Macon, and in addition to training pupil to use their hands, it furni he to om~ of them a .ource of income.

Thi li t i on file and will be of great value in locating blind boy. and girls eligibl for admi. ion. A vel')' gratifyinO' feature of the cen. u. of 1920 i a marked de rea. in th number of blind people in Georgia. The follo\\'inO' table wilJ ilJu trate thi. more fully: Total number of hlind f'f'on1e ;n 1910 \Va 17-12; 1920 wa. 1270.

Of thi number white ix and under are: 1fale. 15; female, 13; total. 2. Black . ix and under are: 1fale f male. 4; total 12, making a total of -10 under . ix. ubtracting thi from the total under eighteen leave a total of ]17 between ix and eiO'hteen. Thi total i. probably too. mall, for the rea on that a compari on with our file for the year ] 920 shows several names not reported in th cen u.. These have been forwarded to the Censu' Bureau and will appear in the finally corrected report. There can be no doubt, however. that blindne is deerea ing in Georgia. Thi i due to several cau e , one important factor i the greater numb r of doctor and. kill d oceuli. t.. The 13 increa ed number of do tor.: prevent many ca s of Ophthalmia Neonatorum, the rno t fruitful cause of blindne s in children. The increa ed number of skilled oculist.. Ie.. en the number of totally blind children caused by the los. of one eye by accident and a con equent 10 of the other eye through lack of proper treatment. Another cau. e of the de rease in blindne i an increa. ed efficiency of the Public chools, thereby "'iving u a more intelligent population who are more careful and among w.hom there is les vice. I early all blindnes. is the re ult of ignorance or careles ness or viciou. ne s. The increase of good chm he . good chool and O'ood doctors i.. the ure t way of reducing blindne s. THE CHOOL FINANCES It i hardly nec' ary to ay that la t year wa a very difficult year for publi in titution. Information on thi point will be thru. t upon the legi lature from all ection of the tate. Prices reached their peak during 1920, and are not yet down to prewar ba i. We have gone through the year on our appropriation. and we do not ask for an appropriation to cover a deficit. We will be able to complete the spring term, 1921 without a deficit, but it ha. been done only by the strictest economy-amountinO' in some reo pects almo t to want. We have gone without fire when the building wa uncomfortably cold, becau. e w were having to pay $12.50 per ton for steam coal which we have often bought for $3.00 to . 4.00 per ton. Repairs have heen neglected which will co e more for eaeh year's delay. Th huildiug for the white hool wa. built nearly fifteen year ago. ince that time it ha not had a thorough renovation. The interior woodwork ha. not heen repainted. The wall. hay not been refini hed. and mu h pIa tering i in bad condition. The plumbing fixtures are hadly worn and need extensive repair, and in ome ca e. entirc replacement. The amount appropriated for a pipe organ in 19] ,paid in monthly installment, and availahle in Jannary, 1920. amounting to $4,000.00, i. till in the hands of the 'Ireasurer, for the reason that on account of the eo t of labor and material, it i. impos ible to buy a . uitable organ for the amount appropriated. The organ now in u. e wa purcha ed thirty-four year. ago. The organ purcha ed now ougbt to be well adapted to the pre ent 14 need of the in titution, a it will probably be a long time .before another can be purcha ed. Organ co,sts now are approximately double what they were before the war. We therefore need an additional $4,000.00 to purcha e an organ adapted to om' needs. Th equipment at both chools has been greatly depleted during the pa t five years. We are in need of blanket, sheet, bedding towel, table linen, dining room and kitchen equipment. At the white chool there must be a new moke stack for the laundry new grate bar for the heating boiler and con iderable repair to the heating plant. We have not bought a new piano in ight years, and ome of our piano have been in u more than thirteen year. Ynder normal onditions we ould have taken care of ome of the e items from our maintenance account. Under the exi ting conclition it ha been impo ible to do more than take care of the mo imperative need. The pay of our teaching force was increa ed la t year but 1. till Ie. than the alarie paid for imilar work in the city publi chool. The d rea in the co t of food will enabl n. to g t along without an increa. e in OUT maintenance appropriation. pI'ovid d we can g t om help in taking are of extraordinary exp n e . The amount a ked for are nece . ar:- to kef;p til chool from going backward. It do not proyide anything for improYement and expan ion to keep pace with the broader educational pro"'ram provided for the public chool.

DEAR SIR: I b g to ubmit the following report of my work as Oculist at the Georgia Academy for the Blind during the year, 1920. In addition to examinations and treatments for eye di eases of minor importance. needling op rations were performed for the following pupils: Ida May Floyd, 1\fay Ratcliff, Lavada Amoss and Eliza Jane Ogg.

I am enclo ing you with thi my annual report of the receipt and di bur ement for the Georgia Academy for the Blind for the calendar year 1920. 17 It will be ob erved from the report that we tarted the year with 31 7.07 and at the do e of the year receiving the $40000.00 from the tate Trea urer for the maintenance of the In titution we had left on hand $2,543.97; in other words, it co..t u to maintain the In titution at its pre ent tandard some 6-13.10 more than the appropriation of the $40000.00. Had the 40.000.00 appropriated been ufficient to maintain the Institution we hould have had the same balance as we tarted the year with, wherea we. tarted the new year of 1921 with $643.10 Ie than we did the previou, year. There i al 0 en 10 ed a report of the receipts and expenditure of the amount h.llOWn a the Pupils Fund. Under the order of the Board, I have been directed to expend all the income from the e uri tie for the b nefit of the pupil 0 a not to increa e the corpu, of the e tate, tbi I have done, tarting th new year with no fund on hand, but we will colle t in January ix month' intere t on the ecuritie. The Organ Fund, or appJ'opriation made for the purchase of a new organ ha been kept epal'ate and di tinct from the l\Iaintellan e Fund. Thi amolmt wa, 4000.00. The committee having in charge th purcha e of a new organ very wi ely, iu my opinion, delayed the pm'cha e waiting for lower prices than those made one and t\YO year ago. Your committee appointed from the Tru tee to examine my book and records have te tified to the correctne of arne. They have examined all voucher for payments and have checked over the securities belonging to the Pupils Fund and have verified the balance to the credit of the In titution on Jan. 1st at the Fourth National Bank. I have the honor to be, Yours very truly, T. D. TI SLEY, T1'easurm' Ga. Academy for Blind. 1 MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT. , REPORT BY T. D.
