REPORT
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
of the
Georgia Academy For
The Blind
JUNE, 1922

TO HIS EXCELLE fCY T. W. HARDWICK,
GOVER OR OF GEORGIA.
Sir:
Complying with the law governing the Georgia Academy for the Blind, I respectfully submit for the Trustees of that institution a record of its operations for the year 1921. I v beg that you will have this record printed at an early date in order that it may sooner reach the members of the General Assembly for their consideration.
Last year, while this report was sent in a month earlier for the express purpose of being printed in time to reach the attention of the General Assembly, it was not printed and delivered to the Executive Office until two weeks after the Legislature had adjourned. I hope that we will have better fortune this year under your administration as I am presenting some matters of urgent importance which our board would like to have called to the attention of the General Assembly.
This is probably the smallest of the State's educational institutions. At the same time it is most pathetic and its claims on the interest and the sympathy of our people is uperior to that of all the others.
The important matters in this paper which I am now submitting through the Executive to the Legislature are contained in the reports of Mr. G. F. Oliphant, Superintendent, and the Treasurer, Mr. T. D. Tinsley. They show in full detail what has been done with every dollar appropriated to the Academy for the preceding year, and Mr. Oliphant' report shows in itemized detail the urgent needs of the institution for the coming years.
As you know, the general appropriation bill passed in 1921 and providing for the years 1922 and 1923, cut down our appropriation of $40,000.00 to $36,000.00 and this was
3

done in face of the fact that we were asking for a special appropriation which we badly needed. Still we have been getting along as best we could with the reduced appropriation for general maintenance and have let those things for which we asked a special appropriation simply wait until we could appeal to the General Assembly now about to convene.
In order to bring to your special attention, as well as that of the members of the General Assembly, I incorporate in this brief report an itemized statement of the Superintendent as to the things which we need or which need to be done, together with a careful estimate of the respective amounts needed for the purposes named. We will undertake, before this matter comes up for action before the Appropriation Committees, to have responsible bids submitted in writing for their information. The items are as follows:

Attached to this paper are al 0 the u ual report of the physician and oculist. As 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 show a gratifying condition as to the health and well-being ~f both white and colored pupils.
In conclusion I beg to add that thi is the one in titution in the State that never in it hi tory has shown a deficit for the State to pay at the end of the year. We do not buy what we cannot pay lor with the amount appropriated to the operation of the Academy. If we do not receive the appropriation asked for, we will simply do the best we can with the appropriation that are granted.

This paper gives the fact just as they exi t, and I will be glad to attend the meetings of the proper committees of the General Assembly and together with the Superintendent furnish any additional information that may be desired as to all matter contained in thi report.
Respectfully ubmitted,
A. L. MILLER,
President Board of Trustees, Georgia Academy for the Blind.

HEALTH RECORD.
During the year 1921 there have been no deaths, no epidemics, and no serious illness. Just before the close of the spring term there was one mild case of typhoid fever. The infection apparently came from outside the school, as no other cases developed.
The report of the phy ician, Dr. C. H. Richardson, is hereto attached.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
We were fortunate in retaining the entire staff in this department without change. As a result there has been an improvement over the previous year's work, as our teachers have become more experienced in teaching the blind. I again call attention to the fact that it is impossible to get teacher trained for this work, except those who have had actual experience in institutions for the blind. It is not economical to change teachers frequently in any school, least of all in schools for defectives, on account of the highly specialized character of the work.
No change has been made in the course of study followed in previous years. On account of the adoption of the standard dot system in the lower grade , we are now getting for those grades modern textbook as good as those used in the public schools. This system is being introduced into one grade each year and in course of time all grades will be supplied with modern textbooks.
The recent increase in the Federal appropriation to the American Printing House for the Blind enables us to furnish an ample supply of textbooks for all our pupils for the first time in the history of the school.
18

MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
This department has given instruction in piano, violin, voice training, chorus singing and musical theory and harmony. Music.recitals have been given monthly during the year.
The department has been under the management of Mr. E. H. McNiel, for fourteen years the efficient director of music. He has been ably assisted by Miss Beulah Smith, teacher of piano, and Miss Catherine Reynolds, teacher of violin.
MANUAL TRAINING.
The boys continue to make satisfactory progress under the instruction of Mr. Chas. W. Johnson. The interest evinced by the pupils and the results achieved are most gratifying.
In June, 1921, Miss Eva Austin, who has been teacher of manual training for the girls for many years, resigned to be married. Miss Austin was a most excellent teacher, and has rendered most efficient service to the institution both as a teacher of manual training and instructor in mathematics. Miss Roddie Mock, a former pupil of this school, is now in charge of the manual training for girls, and is producing satisfactory results.
TYPEWRITING DEPARTMENT.
No changes have been made in this department. The results accomplished under the management of Miss Virginia Bland have been highly satisfactory. Miss Bland has had training in a first-class business college.
COLORED SCHOOL.
As a comprehensive statement of the Colored Department was embodied in report of 1920, only a brief summary is given here in order to economize space.
19

The affairs of the chool have been faithfully administered under the supervision of L .H. Williams, Principal, and his wife, Alice Williams, matron. There has been no death among the pupils during the year, and no ca e of serious illne s.
Instruction in the Literary Department has included the same subjects a heretofore, and covered approximately the subjects taught in the grammar grade of the Public Schools.
In the Music Department in truction ha been given in piano, organ and sil)ging.
The work of the Manual Training Department ha been confined largely to chair caning for the boys. A great deal of this kind of work is available in Macon, and in addition to training pupils to use their hands, it furnishes to some of them a ource of income. The girl have been in tructed by the matron in sewing and the household arts.
The repair at the Colored School, mentioned in my last report, have not been made for the reason that the Legislature did not appropriate the necessary funds. The external woodwork has not been painted in more than fifteen years and as a con equence is suffering from decay. The plumbing needs replacement and repairing. The furnishings need considerable additions. The porches are 0 badly decayed a to be dangerou .
CE U OF 1920. (Reprinted from a report of 1920.)
Through the kindnes of Dr. J. A. Hill, of the United tates Census Bureau, there has been furnished to this institution a list of names of all blind people in Georgia giving the race, sex, age and county in which they are located. This list i on file and will be of great value in locating blind boys and girl eligible for admission. A very gratifying feature of the censu of 1920 i a marked decrease in the
20

number of blind people in Georgia. The following table will illustrate this more fully: Total number 0:( blind people in 1910 was 1,742; 1920 "vas 1,270. In the 1920 cen us, whites under eighteen are: Males, 52; females, 34; total, 86. Colored under eighteen are: Males, 43; female, 28; total, 71. The total of white and blacks 157. Of this number whites, ix and under are: Males, 15; females, 13; total. 28. Blacks six and under are: Males, 8; females, 4; total, 12, making a total of 40 under six. ubtracting this from the total under eighteen leaves a total of 117 between six and eighteen. This total is probably too mall, for the rea on that a comparison with our files for the year 1920 shows several names not reported in the census. The e have been forwarded to the Censu Bureau and will appear in the finally conected report.
There can be no doubt, however, that blindne s is decrea ing in Georgia. This is due to several causes, one important factor is the greater number of doctors and skilled oculist. The increased number of doctor prevents cases of Ophthalmia eonatorum, the most fruitful cause of blindness in children. The increased number of skilled oculi ts lessens the number of totally blind children caused by the loss of one eye by accident and a consequent loss of the other eye through lack of proper treatment. Another cause of the decrease in blindness is an increased efficienc of the Public Schools, thereby giving us a more intelligent population who are more careful, and among whom there is less vice. early all blindness is the result of ignorance or carele sness or viciousness. The increase of good churches, good schools and good doctors i the surest way of reducing blindness.
THE CHOOL FI A CE .
It is hardly necessary to say that the last two years have been vel') difficult for public institutions. Information on thi point will be thrust upon the legislators from all sections of the State. Prices reached their peak during 1920, and are not yet down to prewar basis. Repairs have been
21

neglected which will cost more for each year's delay.
The building for the White School was built fifteen years ago. Since that time it has not had a thorough renovation. The interior woodwork has not been repainted. The walls have not been refinished, and much plastering is in bad condition. The plumbing fixtures are badly worn, and need extensive repairs, and in some cases entire replacement.
The amount appropriated for a pipe organ in 1918, paid in monthly installments, and available in January, 1920, amounting to $4,000.00, is still in the hands of the Treasurer, for the reason that on account of the cost of labor and material, it is impossible to buy a suitable organ for the amount appropriated. The organ now in use was purchased thirty-four years ago. The organ purchased now ought to be well adapted to the present and future needs of the institution, as it will probably be a long time before another can be purchased. Organ costs even now are approximately double what they were before the war. We therefore need an additional $4,000.00 to purchase an organ adapted to our needs and give it suitable installation.
This organ is needed for the purpose of training such of our pupils as al'e capable to be church organists. Many churches in Georgia are purchasing pipe organs, which in some cases are not in use on account of the lack of competent organists. A church able to pay an organist usually owns an organ costing $7,000.00 or more. Our pupils should be trained on an organ as near like those they will have to play in church as possible. An organ costing less than $7,000.00 at the present time, would not have the combinations and mechanical equipment necessary for the successful training of our pupils. It will cost $1,000.00 to install a new organ, on account of necessary changes in building, and foundations and wiring for blower.
The equipment at both schools has been greatly depleted during the past five years. Weare in need of blankets, sheets, bedding, towels, table linen, dining room and kitchen
22

equipment. At the White School there must be new grate bars and flues for the heating boilers, apd considerable repairs to the heating plant.
We have not bought a new piano in nine years, and some of our pianos have been in use more than fourteen years. Under normal conditions we could have taken care of some of these items from our maintenance account. Under the existing conditions it has been impossible to do more than take care of the most imperative need .
The pay of our teaching force was increased two years ago, but is still less than the salaries paid for similar work in the city public schools.
The amounts asked for are necessary to keep the school from going backward. Blind children aTe already laboring under an enormous handicap. It should not be increased by giving them less efficient training than their sighted brothers and sisters.
We have lived on what the Legislature has given us. We are ready to do so again, but if other institutions who have gone beyond their appropriations, supplying their wants out of the credit of the State, are allowed deficiency appropriations, while we are denied small special appropriations to meet our actual needs, then a premium is placed on deficits, while a penalty is put on economy.
I recommend as the minimum amount required for our needs the following:

a Ocolust, Aurist and Laryngologist to the Georgia Academy for the Blind during the year of 1921 and '22.
I have made twenty-five examinations of eyes, ears, nose and throat, and in addition to that the following operations:
One operation for acute rna toiditi , one enucleation, five needling operations were performed on the following pupils: Eeron Mann, Snider Cogland, Eliza Jane Ogg, Clarence King and Ida May Floyd.
I think at the beginning of the Fall Term we shall be able to at least send two of those cases above that have had needling operations to public schools without any difficulty whatever.
Respectfully, C.L.PE I GTON.

Dear Sir: I hand you here,~ ith my report for the past year. In May, 1921, there wa one ca e of typhoid fever, which
was very mild in nature and ending in recovery in three weeks. Aside from this, there have been no serious or continued cases of illne s in either the White or Colored school .
There have been no epidemics and it has only been necessary to remove two of the children under my care to the hospital.
The general physical condition of the children is good and they appear to be well taken care of. I am,
Very truly yours, C. H. RICHARD 0 ,JR., M. D.

Macon, Ga., June 1, 1922.
Hon. A. L. Miller, President,
Georgia Academy for the Blind,
Macon, Ga.
My Dear. Sir:
I have the honor to enclose you with this my Financial Report as Treasurer of the Georgia Academy for the Blind for the Calendar Year of 1921.
From the report it will be seen that the cost for maintaining the institution for the past year was $41,765.13, while the appropriation made by the General Assembly was $40,000.00. Fortunately we had a balance on hand from 1920 of $2,543.97, or a total of $42,543.97. Deducting the amount expended of $41,765.13, leaves a small balance of $778.84 to add to the 1922 appropriation.
The income from the securities invested for the Pupils' Fund amounted to $423.16. All of thi was expended on the pupils in paying their railroad fare home and giving them their Christmas.
The $4,000.00 appropriated by the General Assembly in 1918 for the purchase of an organ is still on hand unexpended and is kept separate from the general appropriation for maintenance.
I a k that you appoint a committee to audit the trea Ul'er's book and verify the account rendeled.
Very respectfully,
T. D. TI SLEY, Treas., Georgia Academy for the Blind.
