REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
GEORGIA I~ TITUTION FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB,
CAVE SPRING, October 1st, 1886. To His .Excellency Henry D. McDaniel, Governor oj Georgia:
DEAR SIR: We have the honor of submitting t'l you the Twentyfourth Report of tbe Georgia Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, covering the two year ending September 30th, 18 6.
The thing'of most importance that has engaged our attention since the date of our last report has been the erection of a school building, for which an appropriation of ten thousand dollars was made by the last Le~islature, supplementing one of five thousand made in 1880.
On February 6th, 18&5, a contract was made with Mr. John G. Barnwell, a thoroughly competent architect and ci vil engineer, and a man of fine taste besides, for the makin/!; of the necessary drawin/!;s and specifications as outlined by Mr. W. O. Connor, the Principal, and a man of fine judgment in such matters himself, which were presented to and accepted by the Board of Trustees at its meeting in April following. By order of the Board of Trustees the Principal inserted an advertisement in the Rome Daily Courier, and also in the Atlanta Daily Oonstitution, calling for bids for the erection of the said building in accordance with the designs and specifications, und er the direction of the Executive Committee of the Board of Tru tees, with Mr. W. O. Connor as superintendent of construction. On June 10th, this committee met, and after carefully cam'as -

6
ing the b;d., of whicb there were ,even, award d the con tract t\) Mes.r DeGrolit & fadgett, who e headquarters were inA t1anta. pan consultation, it wa deemed be t not to try to complete the building at once, but to hold back a certain amount for unlooked-for contingencies, and 0 the wain, cotting and pla~teringof the whole building, together with the flooring of the, econd tory, wa , by agreement with the contractors, ra erved, they to receive $13,700.00 for the remainder of the work, By the terms of the agreement the ('ontrLlctor~ were to be paid monthly by the Executive Oommittee, for the work actually performed, upon the pre,'pntation of Dn e timate certified to be correct by MI'. Connor, and accompanied with a certificate from the clerk of the Superior Oourt that no lien,' had been filed to date, the committee re, erving 33:\ percent. of each e timate until the completion of the work specified, bond of five thou. and dollars, with good and sufTicient security was required" of Mes:'r . DtGroat c Padgett to in ure a faithful compliance with th term of the agreement.
The work i' approacbing completion and will ~how for itself. We find, however, that in spite of all the care exer. ci ed, the final co~t of the building will omewhat overrun the appropriation, a fact that we much regret, for we 'et out with a de,ire to be able to point to thi a one public building that did not have to be upplemented with an additional appropriation. A careful examination will convince anyone conversant with such matter that the Georgia In titutionfortheDeafandDumbwillpos.e whenfini hed, a tructure that cannot be tll'pas ed, either in architectural de.ign or in ub tantinl con truetion, by any in the State for it co t, and too much prai e cannot be be towed upon 1\11'. COllnor for the faithful manner in which he 11th watched all tlle deta.il of the work from the beginning to the present time.
ftpr the <;:nntract was made it ",a decided, upon suggestion of the Pl'incipal, to add two feet in height to the basement walls, thereb~7 securing at~light cost, compared to the space obtai ned, ani ne-foot basemen t which j to bc fitted up a g 'mna ium and play-room for the pupiL, it being a

7
well establi bed fact that deaf-mutes, as a class, nl'ed exer-
ci e that will tEond to develop them phy ically, more than other , th~ same cause, probably, that qperated to bring about their affliction, leaving them with enfeebled bodily organi ms.
To complete the school building, with oasement included, and to furnish the same with aparatus, slate, desks, chairs, etc., we a k an appropriation of six thoUf,and dollars.
The roof on the old building is about worn out, and we recommend its replacement with a Mansard roof, 0 contructed that the space gai ned can be utilized for dormitories which are very much needed. For thi purpose, and for a general l'emodeling of the interior a well a for ne'", floors in ~ome of the roorr:s and in the bop, six thou and dollars will b nl'eded.
We ask also for three thou and tiollars, to be expended on the fencing belonging to the Institution, and for enclo ing and beautifying the grounds connected with the colored department. Money expended now will prevent a further waRhing of the hill. ides, and change what i now an eyesore to a pJ'ace of beauty.
For a upport fund we a!';k that the same appropriation as wa' m:ic1e for the two years pa t be made for the two years to corne viz., seventeen thousand doJJars per annum, baRed Ulan a per capita cost of two hundred dollars for an attendance of eighty-five pupil. Thi will be an ample amount unles th~re should be an unprecedented ri'e in the prices of f'upplie of all kinds, an event that ..eems hardly probable.
Your careful attention is directed to the report of the Principal, from which you can get an idea of the general management of the In. titution, and al 0 see itemiz~d statement of hi expenditures for ordinary purpo e a weJJ as the working. of the industrial department. We think you will agree with u "'hen we say that it speaks well for his management.
The report of the Treasurer will give you, in detail, :In account of the receipts ann disbursements of all mon~ys placed in his hands.

8 Hoping that you may find time to visit the Institution at no very distant day, and with thanks for the warm interest you have always heretofore manifested in our work,
We are very respectfully, JNO. H. DENT, President of the Board,
JOSEPH S. STEWART,
J. W. TURNER, ROBERT W. ORTH,
SEABORN JONES,
W. F. AYER. S. C. TROUT, Secretary and Treasurer.

REPORT F THE PRINCIPAL.

To the Board of TruBteeB of the GeorrJia Institution for the Edv:
cation of the Deaf and Dumb:
GENTLEMEN-The two years which end with the date of this report have been years upon which we can look back with pleasure, as well as with thankful hearts, for the blessings vouchsafed the Institution and its inmates by an overruling Providence.
During the year ending September 30, 1885, there were enrolled in the White Department fifty-five pupils, and in the Colored Department, thirty-two, with an average daily attendance of 75.81; while for the past year the numbers were sixty-one and thirty respectively, with an average of 2.73. Kccompanying this you have a list of the names of each class for the years named, and also itemized statements of the ordinary expenses, which for the first year were $16,710.31, and for the second $16,286.92.
Below you have a statement of the expense, per capita, each year, for the past nine years, with an average of $219.05. A safe estimate, however, I think may be made upon even lower figures, as was done in 1884, which proved to be sufficient, and there is no apparent reason why the same will not hold good again. I recommend, therefore, that the same appropriation be asked, for the next two years, as was made for the past two, viz., $17,000.00 per annum.

The health of the pupil has been very good, only one

seriou ca e of sickne, having occurred, that of Philip C

Jone , of Burke. county, which terminated fatally on March

29, 1 85. He was a good boy and a hard stuJent. Had he

li ved be no doubt would have reflect d honor upon the In-

stitution.

.

The conduct of the two departments ha been about a

usual, and the behaviQr, as well as the prop;ressof tbe pupil,

will compare favorably with that of any former year.

The variou officer ha\-e gi ven their accu. tomed cordial

support to the Principal in enforcing di.cipline, and have

performed their dutie in their usual cheerful manner.

To fini h tho chool buildinl! throughout, and furni>;h it

with the modern appliances of the wdl-equipped school,

will require at least ix thou and dollar>;.

The roof of the main buildin lY has pp.rformed 'ervice about

as long as it i po- ible for it to do, a i lVell aLte;;t~ l by the

numerou leak and rotten cornice, and hllUld be replaced

with a ubstantial Man al d roof, thereby ccuring, at small

co.t, the much-needed space for dormitorie. Six thomand

dollars will be needed for this purpo e.

F r fencing the ground belongic.g to the Institution, for

repairs on the building and the improvement of the ground

connected with the colorf'd department, there ",ill be re-

quired an outlay of about three thou and dollars, and unless

the matter i' taken in hand at an early day~ a much larger

sum will be nece sal"\'.

You have on hand about sixty thousand brick, which I

think could not be put to a better u ethan th prection of a

laundry, one of the greate,t want' of th In. titution In

thi buliding provi~ioll might be made for, tOl'in lY coal and

for olo ets and bathing facilitie for the boy.

Having the nucleus of a library,provi'i n houl(l be made'

either in the old or in the new buildint;, for the accommo-

dation, in convenient form, of the books and pamphletR.

Much of my time has been occupied during the paRt year

in uperintending the con truction of the chool building,

and while Idid not, a you know, de.ire that tbi additional

Tespon ibility be placed upon me, yet I have eame tlyen-

11
deavored, a, I think the contractor will testify, to have the contract and _prcifications l'xecuted to the letter, and where th re has been any failure to exact, to th~ fulle,t extent, the lettrr of the contract, it ha' generally been don by the authority of the Executive Committee. It hU\'ing beef. a 'ettled principle of my life that those peri'OnR occupying
ubordinate position~..hould alw:lYs recognizE' the authority, and l' nder cheerful obedience to tho e ov(>r Ih 01, and you, ha\,jng pluc d the contract and .pecification!' in my hands to see that they were properly eXl:'cuted, I did not con ider that I had any di. cretion in the matter, and while the huil ling dol:', not come up, in eyer}' l' spect, to what it wa d . ign d to be, yet, til on a careful examination. I tnink you "'ill agree with me that you have sl:'cured tiot only a very 'ubstuntial, but a \'ery handsome l:'difice, for the money expl:'uded, and, when completed, one that will be well ad.lpted to the u.:e: f')r which it was designed.
By your al pointment, )fr. J. S. Strwart. Sr, of the Board of Tru,terR and myt'el f, a ttended the Ele\'pn th Con "ention. of American Instructors of the Deaf and Dumb, which was called to order on the 14th of July, in the chapel of tbe California InRtitntion for the Deaf and Dumb, at Berkeley, near San Franci<:co. GO\'ernor Stoneman was present. and in cordiallerm' f'x'l:'nded a CHlifornia welcome to the delegate that hadgatheredfromallpart'ofthe nitedState and Canada. It wa' the large,t a,semblage of per,on intfrl:' tfd in the education of the deaf that had ever been. brought together; and the proceedings. which, when published, will be laid before you. of a more intel'e,tin~ nature. It was emphatically a work i ncr con ven tion, with a conspicuou ab ence of the I. mutual admiration ocicty l features that sometime accompany uch meetiIlgs, and one in which eyer}' moment of time that could be dHOt(~ to anything useful wa fully occupied A prominelJt innovation wa the introductionof a ~o. mal Departm nt, which was ably conducted by Mr. Ely of thE' !\Iaryland In iituiion, and judginO' from the int n' t n,anifpsted, thi department will be a feature of all future conventionl:>.

12
Although having undertaken the task of caring for such a large body for a week, Mr. Wilkinson, the Principal, seemed to have thought of and provided everything that would in any way, either add to the comfort of his guests, or aid in the work of the convention, and if he failed to make. any delegate happy, the fault was certainly with the delegate.
To Mr. Philip G. Gillett, of the Illinois Institution, was entrusted all the arrangements for the trip acr05S the continent, and how well he performed that duty was testified by the presentation to him by the convention of a handsome silver service as a token of appreciation of his efforts in that direction. In addition to this service, those dele gates who came from the northern, eastern and southern portions of the United States were handsomely entertained by him on Sunday, July 4th, at the Illinois Institution, thereby giving them the opportunity of inspecting the largest and best equipped establishment of the kind in the world, which was to many of them a revelation of the advances made in fitting up public institutions. To the various members of his household, as well as to himself, the Georgia delegation feel that they are indebted for a rare treat, and while upon this subject, Mr. D. C. Dudley, of the Colorado Institution, with the authorities thereof, who entertained the c:m vention for two dayl:l, must not be forgotten. While it is a young institution in years, it is old in the ways of genuine hospitality, and there will always remain a warm spot in the heart of each delegate who was so for' tunate as to fall into the hands of Mr. Dudley and his corps of assistants.
Hoping that you will present the pressing wants of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in such a light, that the appropriations necessary to supply these wants will be readily granted by the Legislature soon to assemble, and with sincere thanks to the various officers for their cordial co-operation and support, aA well as to yourselves for the continued confidence expressed, and for the many courtesies extended me, I am, very respectfully,
W. O. CONNOR, Principal. Cave Spring, Ga., Sept., 30, 1886.

REPORT OF PHYSICIA .

SEPTEMBER 30th, 1886.
To the Principal of Georgia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb;
DEAR SIR-fL is with pleasure that I report to you an unusually small percentage of sickness in the In titution for the past two years.
The superior system of drainage and strict sanitary regulation of the Institution. with prompt attention given to the slight ailments of the inmates, have contributed largely toward making our sick lis~ small.
The Matron and her assistant have been prvmpt to report to me any cases needing attention, and careful and efficient in following directions in the administration of medicine to the sick. We have to report one death during this period of two years, that of Philip C. Jone ,of Burke county. This pupil came to the Institution with his system full of malaria, contracted at home, and after having occasional attacks of intermittent fever with enlargement of the spleen, was seized on the 20th of March, 1885, with acute inflammation of the spleen, which resulted fatally nine days later.
We have had a few cases of measles, whooping-cough and s~abies, all of which have submitted to treatment without any unpleasant results.
The following i a list of the cases that have been under treatment:

DONATIOr>S ARE ALWAYS IN ORDER.
Anything in the way of books, newspapers. magazine> etc.) specim~us of the animal, mineral or vegetable kingdom. Indian relios, curiosities; in faot, anything that will help to build up the Library and Museum will be of i ne . timable aid in the work of eduoating the deaf and dumb.

GEORGIA I STITUTION FOR THE EDUCATlO OF THE D~AF AND DUMB.
As its name implies, tqi is strictly 3n institution for the ~ducation of the deaf and dumb, and in no sense 3n asylum, as many are pleaserl to term it. It i located in Cave Spring, Floyd county, on the line of the Alabama divi-ion 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 Georgia Division of the East Tenne. ee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad to Rome, and thence to Cave Spring, sixteen milE'S, by the Alabam t Division E. T., Va. & Ga. R. R.
The Institution comprises two Departments, one for white and the other for ::lolorerl deaf mutes. ThesE' Departments are situated about three hundred yard from each oiher, and, while under the same superintendence, are .separate and distinct in all other respect.
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. Beside thi, they are taught arithmetic, geography, grammar, history, philosophy, penmanship, etc. On Sunday a lecLure is delivered to them on the Scri ptu rp,s in the '!3ign language by the Principal or one of the teachers, and they are required to recite from the International Sunday bchool LeI' ons.
In the Mechanical Department, the boys are taught shoemaking, and the girls sewing of vurious kinds und the cut ting and fitting of garments.

TERMS OF ADMISSION.
All deaf-mutes of the State who are o\'er eight and under tWE'nty' even years of age, mentally and physically in ar condition to recei ve instruction profitably, and free from any immoral conduct or contagious di ease, are entitled to all the benefits of the Institution, FREE OF CHARGE, for a term of seven years. Parents or guardians are expected to furnish atisfactory evidence of the above facts. In case of inability to clothe the applicant, a certificate of the fact mu t be presented. igned by the Ordinary of the county, with hi Heal of office attached, when the clothing will be furni hed at the expen. e of the State. All pupils are furnished 'hoes from tbe hop free of cost.
A unif'orm of neat and ubstantial material has beeu adopted by the BO;J.rd of Trustee~ for both boys and girl, and every pupil mu t conform to the regulations in this respect. In cases where parent prefer to make the outer, garment at home they mu t c.1nform 'in style of rnalee-up strictly to that adopted by the Bard, or else the garment will be returned or altered to correspond, as they may elect-no deviation can De allowed. The chitdren of those who furni h clothing will be supplied here at actual co t, if it is so de ired, and bills will be sent the first of January and July, and if not promptly paid placed in the hands of an officer for collection. .
Each child, upon its fir t admi sion, if possible, must come upplied wi~h, aud keep on hand at all times, the number of garments of all kinds contained in the Ii ts herewith furnished-no more nor 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 under obligation to keep his child or children in the In titution the full term of seven years, for otherwise the school fails

29
in a great measure of accomplishing the design of its establishment.
All who are admitted compose one family in each of the departments reapectively, and must conform to the government of the Institution. which resembles that of a well-regulated family, and be placed on an equality as to attention, labor, etc. There will be exercised continual superintend. ence of health, manners and morals of the pupils.
Every pupil in the Institution is tanght EOrrJe useful employment; hence all are required to hbor a certain portion of the time.
The scholastic year begins the second Wednesday in September and continues to the third Wednesday in June when there will be a public examination of the pupils, con' . ducted by the Principal.
The opening o( the term is the proper time for the admission of pupils, and punctuality is necessarily required as new classes are fo.rmed and the old ones reorganized at this period. Every pupil should come prompt.ly the first day of the term and remain until the close. Any pupil once admitted, who fails to return by the fifteenth 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 insist on his prompt attendance at the opening of the term.
Except in cases of absolute necessity no pupH is allowed to leave during the term, and parents or friends will please 1l0t ask it.
All the pupils should go home in vacation. None will be kept !lot the Institution except in cases of neces.~ity. unless 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 the Institution, should be prepaid and addreEsed to " W. O. CONNOR, Principal of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, Cave Spring, Georgia." 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.

THE TENTH ClNSUS.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERTOR,
CENSUS OFFICE, September 23, 1884.
To the Editor oj the Annals:
SIR-In accordance with your request, I take plea ure in suhmitting for publication in the Annals the following gen eral result of the inquiry into the number and condition of the deaf nnd dumb in the United States made in the Tenth Censu!'.
The total number of deaf and dumb founo was 33,878, of wh"m 32,806 were returned by enumerators and 1,072 additional by physicians.
They were found in the following place': 5,::93 in in titutions for the deaf; 511 in aIm house; 4 in jails and other prisons; 79 in bene volen t i n"ti tu tion : _4 in hospitals or asylums for the in ane, and 27. 67 at their home or in private families.
With respect to their ages, 1,437 were under 8i { years old, 10,046 between six and 8ixteen: 5.013 over sixteen and under twenty-one, and 17,382 were twenty-one years old and over. Taking from six to t,went.v as of proper school-age, the number of school-al!e was 15,059.
The number reported as in iostitutions June 1,18 0, wa as stated, 5,393. But in addition to these were found 6,761 not in in titutions, who bdd recei ved special in truction in institutions, or 12,154 erlucated or partially educated deafmutes in all. This number i doubtless incomplete.
The age at which deafness occurred was tated in 22,473 cases. Of t.he e 12,155 were congenitally deaf, 7289 lost their hearing under five years of age, 2.235 from five to nine, 694 from ten to fourteen, and 100 at fifteen years.
The cause of deafness wa assigned, with more or less deti-

39
nitene s and probability, in 9,209 cases, of which 366 were referred to diseases of the ear, 8,250 to other di ea e , anq 593 to acciden ts. The liHt of causes accepted a nd tallied is as follows: Meni ngitis, 2,856; scarlet fever, 2,695; malarial and typhoid feverti, 571 j mea Ie , 448; fevers, non-malarial, 381; catarrh and catar::hal fevers, 324; other inflammations of the air pas age, 142; fall', 323; ab cesses, 2 1; whoop-. ing cough, 195; nervou affection, 170; scrofula, 131; quinine, 78; blows and contu ion, 74; inflammation of the ear, 72; diphtheria, 70; hydrocephalus, 63; teething, 54; mump , 51; mall-pox and variola, 47'; ery ipela, 36; fright, 32; water in the ear, 25; sun troke, 21; noi es and concussions, 21; tumors, 11; chi0kt:n-pox, 10; fltruck by lightning, 10; fvreign bodies in the ear, 9; salt rheum, 3; malformation of the ear, 2; syphilis, 2; con umption, L We rejected ~o ca e' of di ease and 12 of accidents a. too vsgue or improbable to be counted and cia -ified.
Among the complications of deafne were found: Deaf, dumb and blind, 245; deaf, dumb and in ane, 268; deaf, dumb and idiotic, 2,122; dea.f, dumb, in ane and blind, 30; deaf, dumb, blind and idiotic, 217. Total number of deaf who are doubly or trebly affiicted, 2,882.
The number of deaf found in the principal cities was: In New York, 718; .Philalelphia, 464; Brooklyn, 246; Chicago 204; Bo ton, 160; St. Louis, 174; Baltimore, 169 j Cincinnati, 136; San Franci co, 76, and Jew Orleans, 109.
The clal.sification by sex, race and nativity i as follows: ative white-males, 14,879; female, 12,425; total, 27,304. Foreign white-males, 1,94;- females, 1,463; total, 3357. Colored-male, 1,794; female, 1,423; total, 3,217. The total males are 18,567 and female, 15,311. The increase in the number of deaf-mute' in half a century, as reported, ha been: In 1830 there were 6, lO6: in 1840 there were 7,665; in 1850 there were 9,803; in 1 60 there were 12,821; in 1870 there were 16,205, and in 1 80 there were 33,87 returned. But no close approximation to a complete enumeration ba before been made. Compared with the other three groups of defective, the deaf and dumb number 33,878; the blind, 48,928; the idi-

40
otic, 76,895, and the insane, 91,959. But the blind of school age number only 7,76 against 15,059 deaf children of corresponding age.
I am, with respect, very sincerely yours,
FRED. H. WI E , Expert and pecial Agent of the Tenth Census for the
Defective, Dependent and Delinquent Classes.
