HEALTH RECORD.
During 1922 there were no epidemic and only one case of serious ilIne . a case of ma toiditi at the white school. The patient' life \Va aved by a prompt operation. He is now entirely well but had to receive treatment for a con-
iderable length of time.
During :March of 1923. we had an epidemic of measles at the white chool.-the fir t epidemic of a contagiou di ea e in ten year except the epidemic of "flu" 10 1918.
11 cases recovered without any eri us result .
t the colored chool there were several mild case of "flu" and since January 1, 1923. one ca e of appendiciti , which wa ucces fully operated on by our physician, Dr. C. H. Richard on, who e report is attached hereto.

LITERARY DEPARTMENT.

We were fortunate in retaining the entire taff in thi

department without change.

a re ult there ha been

constant improvement. a our teacher have become more experienced in teachino- the blind. I ao-ain call attention to the fact that it i impo ible to get teachers trained for

thi work except tho e wh have had actual experience in in titution for the blind. It i not economical to change teacher frequently in any chool, lea t of all in chool for defective, on account of the highly pecialized character

of the work.

1 0 change ha been made in the cour e of tudy followed in previou years. On account of the adoption of

the standard dot s)' tern in the lower grades, we are now getting for tho e grade - modern textbook a good a tho e used in the public chool. Thi ystem i being in-

troduced into one grade each year and in course of time all graades will be upplied with modern textbook .

The recent increa e in the Federal appropriation to the American Printing House for the Blind enables us to furn-

ish an ample supply of textbooks for all our pupils for the first time in the history of the school.

18

MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
'fhi department ha given instructi n in piano, violin, voice training, choru ina-ing and mu ical theory and harm ny. J\lu ic recitals have been given monthly during the year.
The department haa been und r the management of 11r. E. H. ~1c 'ie!. for f urteen year the efficient director of mu'ic. He ha been ably a isted by :\lis Beulah mith, teacher of piano, and ~Ir . Catherine Reynolds McCook, teacher of violin.
MANUAL TRAINING.
The boy continue to make ati fact ry progre under the intruction of :\1r. Cha. \V. Johnson. Trainina- ha been ffered in sloyd, ,,"ood ,,"ork. metal w rk chair canina-. br III making and piano tuning.
~li 's Roddie Mock, teacher of the girl" manual trainina- cia 'se' ha - done very acceptable work. The girl have been in tructed in paper cutting and foldin ,plain ewina-. knitting, crocheting, ba ket making, rug weaving and chair caning. The manual trainina- ha been omewhat handical ped by lack of material and equipment.
TYPEWRITING DEPARTMENT.
?\o change have been made in thi d partment. The re 'ult accompli hed under the management of Mi s Vira-inia Bland have been highly ati factory. Mi Bland ha had trainina- in a fir t-class bu in college.
COLORED SCHOOL.
The affair of the school have been faithfully admini tered under the upervi ion of L. H. V\'illiam Principal, and hi wife, lice William, matron.
In truction in the Literary Department has included the ame ubject a heretofore, and covered approximately the ubject taught in the grammar grades of the Public
chools.
19

In the Mu ic Department in truction ha been given in piano, organ and inging.
The work of the lanual Training Department ha been confined largely to chair caninO" for the boy. O"reat deal of this kind of work i ayailable in Macon, and in addition to training pupil to u e their hand, it furni he to me of them a source of income. The girl have been in tructeded by the matron in ewing and the hou ehold art.
The report at the Colored School. mentioned in my la t report have not bee\l made for the reason that the LeO"i lature did not appropriate the nece ary fund. The external woodwork ha not be;en painted in more than' fifteen year and as a con equence i uffering from decay. The plumbing need replacement and repainting. The furni hing need con iderable addition. The porches are 0 badly decayed as to be danO"erou .
The school i in great need of equipment. We have been compelled to su pend the broom hop on account of lack of machinery and material. The amount a ked for a workshop i not adequate by any mean but it will enable u to build a hed in "'hich manual training can be carried on until better quarter can be furni hed. The colored chool i in need of repair and all kind of equipment. It will uffer eriou Iy unle - something i done to meet the e need.
THE SCHOOL FINANCES.
It i hardly nece- ary to ay that the la t two year have been very difficult for public in titution. Information on thi point will be thru t upon the legi lator from all ections of the tate. Price reached their peak during 1920, and are not yet down to prewar ba i. Repair have been neglected which will co t more for each year's delay.
The building for the White School wa built sixteen year ago. ince that time it has not had a thorough renovation. The interior woodwork has not been repainted. The walls have not been refinished, and much plaster-
20

109 in bad condition. The" plumbing fix'tures are badly "'orn and need exten ive repai~ , and insome ca e entire replacement.
The amount appropriated for a pipe organ in 191 , paid in monthly in tallment . and available in January, 1920. amounting to $4.000.00. i till in the hands of the Trea urer. for the rea on that on account of the co t of labor and material, it i impo ible to buy a uitable organ for the amount appropriated. The oro-an now in u e "'a purcha ed thirty-five year ago. The organ purcha ed now ought to be ,veil adapted to the present and future need of the in titution, a it will probably be a lono- time before another can be purcha ed. Organ co t even now are approximately double what they were before the war. \Ve therefore need an additional $4,000.00 to purcha e an organ adapted to our need and give it uitable in tallation.
This organ i needed for the purpo e of trainino- uch of our pupils a are capable to be church oro-ani t. Many churches in Georgia are purcha ing pipe organ which in orne ca e are not in use on account of the lack of competent organi t . church able to pay an organi t usually own an organ co ting $7.000.00 or more. Our pupil . hould be trained on an oro-an a near like tho e they will have to play in church a po ible. n organ co tino- Ie than $7,000.00 at the pre ent time, would not have the combination and mechanical equipment nece ary for the
ucce ful training of our pupil. It ,,-ill co t $1.000.00 to in tall a ne,v organ, on account of nece ary chano-e 111 buildino- and foundation and "'iring for blower.
The equipment at b th chool ha been o-reatly depleted durino- the pa t five year. \Ve are in need of blanket, heet, beddino-, towel . table linen dining room and kitchen equipment. At the \Yhite chool there mu t be new grate bar and flue for the heating boiler, and considerable repair to the heating plant.
We have not bought a new piano in ten year, and
some of our piano have been in use more than fifteen
21

year. nder normal conditi n we c uld have taken care f 'ome of the' e item from our maintenance account. nder the exi ting condition it has been impo ible to do more than take care of the mo t imperati e need.
The pay of ur teaching force wa increa ed three year agl!' but i till Ie than the alarie paid for imilar work in th city public school.
The amount a ked for are neces ary to keep the chool from u ing backward. Blind children are already laborin u under an enormou handicap. It hould not be increa ed by uiving them Ie efficient training than their ighted broth rand iter.
'Ve have lived on what the Legi lature ha given u . '" are ready to do 0 again, but if other in titutions who have gone beyond their appropriation, upplyinu their want ut of the -redit of the tate are allowed deficiency appropriation, while , e are denied mall pecial appropriation to meet our actual need, then a premium i placed on deficits, while a penalty i put on economy.
I recommend a the minimum amount required for our need the foil wing:
