REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 
DEAF A'D D MB 11\ TITUTE OF GEORGIA, CAVE SPRI1\G, October 8, 1884. 
To His ExccllCllcy H. D. JlcDanicl, G01'ernor of Georgia: DEAR SIR: We have the honor of forwarding you 
this report of thlC: Institution for the Deaf and Dumb of Georgia, for the two years ending September 30th, 1884. But little beyond the usual routine has occurred t which your attention need be called. At the close of the year' ending September 30th, 1882, there was a small urplus on hand, which the Board of Trustees directed should be spent in the erection of an addition to the north end of the main building for the use of the Principal, this officer, with his family, having been confined to one small room, that was entirely inadequate for his needs. This has been completed at a cost of ': [,872.70, and besides its utility is an ornament to the building. 
The drainage has been completed in a satisfactory manner, under the supervision of the Principal. The fence for the lawn and the rebuilding of the water-wheel, for which appropriations were made by the .Legi lature, have been fini hed a far as the money would allow. A neat and substantial wrought-iron fence extends on two sides of the lawn, and for perhaps two hundred and fifty dollars, can be extended around the other side. 
In the report of the Principal, to which we re pectfully call your attention, you have an account of the general management of the Institution, together with itemized statements of his disbursements for ordinary expenses f"r the two past years, which we think, shows a highly satisfactory state of affairs. 
In the report of the Trea urer, accompanying this, you 
 
 6 
have in detail an account of the receipts and expenditures of all moneys received by him. 
A part of the money 'appropriated for the erection of a school building has been expended in making brick, which are now on hand, but we do not consider it prudent to begin, until the kind of structure needed can be secured, which cannot be done with five thousand dollars. We consider that it would be a waste of money to attempt it. While it is true that a building can be erected for that money, yet, when finished, it will not supply the needs of the Institution even for the present, much less for the future, and you know that a house of that kind cannot be plan ned so as to admit of additions being made to it without unwarranted cost. othing less than $10,000.0:> additional will enable us to erect this building, and we hope you will see proper to recommend to the Legislature that it be appropriated. . We also think we should have a standing appropriation of at least five hundred dollars a year, with which to keep up the ordinary repairs necessary about the build. ings and premises. 
We ask as a support fund, based upon 200.00 per capita, for an attendance of 85 pupils, 17,000.00 per year for the next two years. We think this amount will be sufficient, unless there should be an unprecedented rise in values of all kinds. 
Believing that you will give the subject the attention it deserves, and that you will make such recommendations to the Legislature as will be beneficial to the Institution and further its usefulness, We are, very respectfully, 
JOHN H. DENT, Presidmt of the Board. 
JOSEPH S. STEWART, JOHN W. TURNER, ROBERT W. ORTH, SEABORN JONES, W. F. AYER. S. C. TROUT, Secretary and Treasurer.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL. 
To tlte Board of Trustees of tlu Georgi~ InstitutOIl for flee Deaf and Dumb: 
GE TLEMEK:-There were admitted to the benefits of the Institution for the year ending September 30, 1883, sixty-one white, and twenty-eight colored deaf-mutes, giving an average attendance of 73.34. and for the year ending September 30, 1884, sixty-five white and thirty-one colored, giving an average attendance of 85.20. I enclose lists of each class for the respective years-and also itemized statements of disbursements for ordinary expenses which, for the year first mentioned, was $16,698.81, and for the last $ (5,867.74. Thi5 decrease can be traced to two causes-viz: the decrease in the prices of supplies of all kinds; and to the cutting down of expenses to the lowest possible figu re in order to come inside the appropriationmuch work that we were accustomed to have done, has been left undone, in some instances to the detriment of the Institution and its premise. 
Below you have the expense per capita, each year for the past seven years, the average of which is $222.02unless there should be an unprecedented rise in prices of supplies, I think a safe estimate for an appropriation would be $200.00 per capita, for the next two years. Presuming that the average attendance will be maintained, this will require $17,000 per year.

 It affords me pleasure to be able to say that the health of the establishment has been remarkably good, no serious cases of sickness having occurred during the term covered by this report. . 
The various officers have been faithful and assiduous in the performance of the duties assigned them. It is a matter to be regretted that Dr. A. W. Wright saw proper to decline a re-election to the office 'of Physician. as he was quite successful in his treatment of the pupils, and was very much beloved by them all. 
The closets and baths for the use of the girls have been completed and upplya long needed improvement. The drainage incident thereto and elsewhere about the premises has been finished in a substantial and durable manner. 
The addition to the north end of the main building, erected by your direction for the use of the Principal, adds much to the general appearance of the premises, and cer tainly a great deal to the comfort and convenience of this officer and his family. 
The waterwheel and connecting machinery for running the pump was renewed entirely. The old pillars supporting the wheel, which had partially fallen and were liable to wash out at any time, were replaced with others built of cut limestone laid in hydraulic cement and present a neat and sub tantial appearance. They are so arranged that a brick wall can be erected upon them to enclose both wheel and pump, thereby protecting them from the depredations of evil disposed persons. I recommend that this be done as soon a there are any available funds. The cost need not be more than two or three hundred dollars. The dam that everyone thought who saw it, was put in to stay, was washed out by the April freshet, but can be replaced with little outlay. 
The survey and plat that you instructed me to have made of the grounds belonging to the Institution, at your meeting in April, has been completed and framed. The 
 
 9 
work was done by Capt. John G. Barnwell, in a manner reflecting credit upon his skill as an engineer. 
The eSbblishment of several new trades would enable the boys to exercise some choice j n the selection of a life business, and I again recommend introduction of wagon maki~g, and the painting and black mithing incident thereto. This will necessitClte an outlay of at least a thou sand dollars, The committee from the last Legislature were earnestly in favor of thi move, but no appropriation was made to put it in operation. 
In connection with the shoe shop, and under the supervision of the present master, it would be well to introduce harness making, This can be done at very little expense. 
The cornice on the main building is, in )Jlaces, decaying and falling off, and hould be attended to. The shop building needs paint, in fact, a general an'd liberal use of this article would be beneficial as well as ornamental. 
To keep the premise in a presentable condition will require at least five hundred dollars annually, and the Legislature should place thi's amount at the di posal of the Trustees. 
I respectfully urge upon you the importance of the erection of the school building for which an appropriation of 5,000.00 was made four years ago, but which you deemed inadequate for the purpo e. Such a buildingas is needed, and there ha never been any question of this need, upon the part of members of the Legislature or others who have had an ocular demon tration of the crowded condition of the building, and its awkward arrangement, can be put up for, perhaps, less money now than ~ver before in the history of the State. To do this properly will require an additional appropriation of at least $10,000,00, and it would be folly to attempt it on less. 
With thanks to the different officers for the efficient aid rendered me, and without which any admini tration must, in a measure result in failure, and to you individu- 
 
 10 
ally and collectively, for the confidence reposed, and the warm su pport rendered me at all times, 
I am very resp'ectfully, W. O. CONNOR, Principal.

 REPORT OF PHYSICIAN. 
To the Principal of the Georgia Institittion for the Deaf and Dumb: SIR :-Owing to improved sanitary regulations, and 
immediate attention to the slight ailments of the inmates, I am delighted to report a better health record for the past two years than ever before. 
There have been a few cases of minor surgery, and a limited number of trivial ailments, but no deaths. I am unable to give a list of them. as in the former report, from the fact that my record book has been mislaid. 
All epidemics have been carefully warded off, and the Institution is improving in every respect. 
Gratefully acknowledging the appreciation of my past efforts, I am very respectfully, 
A. W. WRIGHT, Physician.

DONATIONS ARE ALWAY 11' ORDER. 
Anything in the way of books, newspapers. magazines, etc., specimens of the animal, mineral or vegetable kingdom, Indian relics, curiosities; in fact, anything that will help to build up the Library and Museum, will be of in. estimable aid in the work of educating the deaf and dumb. 
Remember that there are no funds with which to replenish the Library and Museum, and we must rely on friends to help us. 
 
 GEORGIA INSTITUTION FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. 
As its name implies, this is strictly an Institution for the education of the deaf and dumb, and in no sense an asylum, as many are pleased to term it. It is located in Cave Spring, Floyd County, on the line of the Selma division of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, and is easily accessible from all parts of the State. From Atlanta, parties can take their choice of either of the two routes, viz.: by the Western and Atlantic Railroad to Rome; or by the Rome and Atlanta Railroad to Rome, and thence to Cave Spring, sixteen miles, by the Selma Division, E. T., Va. & Ga. R. R. 
The Institution comprises two Departments one for white and the other for colored deaf mutes. These De. partments are situated about three hundred yards from each other, and, while under the same superintendence, are separate and distinct in all other respects. 
As far as their individual capacity will admit. the pupils are taught the use of the English language, which is the primary object of their education. Besides this, they are taught Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar, History, Philosophy, Pen manship, etc. On Sunday a lecture is delivered to them on the Scriptures in the sign language, by the Principal or one of the teachers, and they are required to recite from the International Sunday School Lessons. 
In the Mechanical Department, the boys are taught shoe-making, and the girls sewing of various kinds, and the cutting and fitting of garments. 
 
 TERMS OF ADMISSION. 
All deaf-mutes of the State who are over eight and under twenty-seven years of age, mentally and physically in a condition to receive instruction profitably, and free from any immoral conduct or contagious disease, are entitled to all the benefits of the Institution FREE OF CHARGE, for a term of seven years. Pal ents or guardians are expected to furnish satidactory evidence of the above facts. In case of inability to clothe the applicant, a certificate of the fact must be presented, signed by the Ordinary of the county, with his seal of office attached, when the clothing will be furnished at the expense of the State. All pupils are furnished shoes from the shop free of cost. 
A uniform of neat and substantial material has been adopted by the Board of Trustees for both boys and girls, and every pupil must conform to the regulations in this respect. In cases where parents prefer to make the outer garments at home, they must conform in style of make-up, strictly to that adopted by the Board, or else the garment will be returned or altered to correspond, as they may elect-no deviation can be allowed. The children of those who furnish clothing will be supplied here at actual cost, if it is so desired, and bills will be sent the first of January and July, and if not paid promptly, placed in the hands of an officer for collection. 
Each child, upon its first admission, if possible, must come supplied with, and keep on hand at all times, the number of garments of all kinds, contained in the lists herewith furnished-;-1lO more '/'lor no less-with the name distinctly marked in indelible ink on each piece. 
Every person accepting the provisions of the State for the education of the Deaf and Dumb, places himself un- 
 
 26 
der obligation to keep his child or children in the Institution the full term of seven years, for otherwise the school fails in a great measure of accomplishing the design of its establishment. 
All who are admitted compose one family in each of the Departments respectively, and must conform to the government of the Institution, which resembles that of a wellregulated family, and be placed on an equality as to attention, labor, etc. There will be exercised continual supcril1tendence of health, manners and morals of the pupils. 
Everf pupil in the institution is taught some useful employment; hence all are required to labor a certain portion of the time. 
The scholastic year begins the second Wedne!lday in September, and continues to the third Wednesday in June, when there will be a public examination of the pupils, conducted by the Principal. 
The opening of the term is the proper time for the admission of pupils, and punctuality is necessarily required as new cla5ses are formed and the old ones re-organized at this period. Every pupil should come promptly theji7'st day of the term, and remain until the dose. Any pupil once admitted, who fails to return by the fifteentlt of September, must lose the time from his school term of seven years. As the State has provided the school free of cost to the pupil, it is requiring very little of him to illsist 01l Ids prompt attendance at the opening of the term. 
Except in cases of absolute necessity no pupil is allowed to leave during the term; and parents or friends will please not ask it. 
All the pupils should go home in vacation. None will be kept at the Institution except in cases of necessz'ty, un less they are employed to work in the shop or elsewhere about the premises. 
All applications for the admission of pupils, business communications and letters of inquiry respecting pupils of 
 
 27 
the Institution, should be prepaid and addressed to "\\ . O. CONNOR, Principal of the Itlstitution fo( the Deaf and Dumb, Cave Spring, Ga." All letters to pupils and packages by freight or express must be prepaid, and contain the words, "Institution for the Deaf and Dumb," as part of their direction.
