At the last session f the I gi l::ttlll'e th inefficien 'Y of th amount j1I'e\'iou.I.' allowed fOl,the support of the 
 
  chonl wa.. recognized an 1 the appropriation wa. iocrea eel from $17,000 to 19,000. On account of the woro coodition of bed and beckling, the cant. upply of lothingfor pupil', and the increased average attendance [l'om in 1 92 tu 95 in 1 93, with an inc.'ea. ed enrollment from 107 in 1 92 t 1l- in 189:3, thi amount did not p.'o\e 'ufficient for the past fi al year) e peciali y a.' only threequarter of the yeal' were provide(l for at the in rea 'ed rate, the first quarter beginning Oetober, 1892, being ba. cd upon the formel' appropriation of 17,000 per annum. Thi. brings about. a deficit of 97:.-.94, to corcr which we a",k a pecial appropriation. 
I would call your attention to the, eming eli. 'repancy in account of the principal and treasl1I'er.

of substituting either gas or electric JightiuO' in place ot

the Deal- 
DEAR fR-Allow me to ubmit the follo\yinO' I' port for the year ending eptembel' 30, 1893: 
During the pa t year it ha been exceptionally healthy iu our locality, and e pecially ba' thi' b en tmc in the Georgia 'chool for the Deaf. Not a ca of continu d fe\'er ha~ occurred during thi tim, which p ak well for the sanitary condition of the premi..e an I \rith your 'plendid y tem of . ew l'aO'e and drainage, we can oufidently expect veil Ie than ever. 
Eady 11 t spring we had two evere asc of pneumonia which were really the only eriou ..ickne: during the year xce[ t that of Mary A.. Garner, who died f tuberculo'i. Dccember 9, 1892. 
'Ve have to report two a id nt, one a fl'acture of th clavicle. Thi' William Dun an received from a fall whil at play. In thi ca 'e we had agood union and no deformity. The other wa a fmctu re 0 f the th i h, I' cei \' d by Em ma 
Robert (colore 1) from a fall while jumping the rore on 
the playground. In thi ea e we have a p rfect union and a member fully a u. eful a before the accident. 
'Ve have now under treatment one case of whoopin cou h and no doubt befol'e many dar' we will have quit a numb I' of other. 
The childl'en returued from th ir .. ummel' vacation looking unu ually well, anel I e nothing to keep u. from maintaining our splendid h >alth record. It i vcry gratifying to me to note the I'eat impl'ovement made in the sanitary ondition of the d rmitol'\' durinO' th pa t . ummel'. The 
 
 19 
 
iLl'r a ed room, t O'ether with the Ll w beds and bedding will ertainly add matcriaLly to the comfort of the pupil'. 
You are to be conO'ratulat d upon the' ompletion f the excellen y tern of ewerage about the prerni e. Below you will plea e find a tabulated tatement of di ea e trcated b' me in the chool during the pa't year:

HI TORY OF THE GEORGIA CHOOL FOR THE

In the year 1 33 a memorial wa. pre ~nted to the legi lature of Georgia, by John J. Flournoy, a emi-mute, of Jack. on county, pl'3),ing for the e tabli hment of an in'titntion for the education of the deaf and dumb. 
Thi memor1al \Va referred to the Governor, HOrI. Wilson Lumpkin, with a reque t that he obtain full information and report to the next meeting of the General A embly join ~ovember, 1834, the Governor, who had become mu h intere ted in the ubject, laid before th legi lature all the information he had ecured, ex pre ing' himself a pa,rticularly indebted to Governor Fort, 01 
onnecticut, and to Lewi Weld, Principal of the AmericaIL A ylum fOJ' the Deaf and Dumb, Hartford, Connecticllt~ 
In the latter pal't of 1 34, 11', 'Veld, accompanied by two deaf-mute, Edmund Booth, of Ia achu t ,one of hi a 'istallt teacher', and Thoma. . Pel'kins, of. onnecticut, one of hi pupil, who was then a lad of about twelve year of age, vi ited the capital of Geol'gia, and Mr. Weld ays of thi vi it. 
" We reached Iilledgeville on the thirteenth of December and I 10 t no time in introdu ing my~elf and my pupil to Go\'ernor Lumpkin. The Governor received me and my pupil with marked affability andkindne ", and expre ed him elf as much gratified that we had come on without waiting/or hi Jetter, which he ent for to the po toffice and handed me him elf. He informed me that the committee of the the nate to whom my communication of la t eptember had been referred, with other deafand dumb document from herc and from other places, had made a report and offered certain re~olution providing for the education of the indigent deaf-mute of Georgia j that tIli report had been favorably received and though not 
 
 acted on at all in the luwer hOll,'c, there \\'a.;; reason tn bope it miITht pa. in both e 'pecially if a fa\"orable impre. ion 'hould be made by an exhibition of m~' lupil. The impre ion produced b my pupil- wa.. evidentl) \"ery fa\"orable before their public exhibition. This took place on Monda r evening the fiftecnth, in the Repres ntative room, and, a , I believe, very ati filctory.

 38 
<lonvey to the American A ylum, at Hartford, Connecticut, the deaf-mutes of Georgia. He wa. faithful and zealous in this "Yol'k; wa reappointed succe sively by (ioveruor 
chley and Gilmer, and was publi ly complimented by the le~islatul'e fol' hi efficienc' and integrity. He tl'aveled xten ively over the tate. earching for deaf-mute) but he 'ucceeded in inducing only a few to accept the beneficence of the tate. This office was filled in succe sion by Rev. 
, G. Hillyer and Rev. Jesse H, Campbell) both efficient <>fficer . 
The numberofdeaf-lUute who were seutto the American A. ylum fol' education wa a follo\\": In 1 35) eight j in 1836, three; in 1837, four; in 1839, two j in 1840, one j in 1842, one j in 1 43, one; in 1 44, fOIlf ; j n all twenty-four, each of whom remained from one to ix year. 
In the yeal' 1842 and 1843 five deaf-mutes, children ot Asa Prior) of Pauldin county, two of whom ha.d 'pent . everal yeal' in the American .A"ylum, were sent as day pupils to the Cedal' Valley Academy, which tood near the large .'pring in Cedartown, and wa pre ided over by Benjamin ~:ro. ley, a noted educator of that day, which may be considered a the first attempt in Georgia to impal't in truction to the deaf and dumb. Ko record remain of thi work that will ~i ve any idea of the mea Ul'e of uccess that attended the effort made during the~e two year . but it i pl'esumed that it did not amount to much) a thel'e wa no one connected with the entel'pl'ise who bad had any experience with the deaf and dumb. 
The deaf-mutes of Georgia al'e indebted much to the energy and efficient action of Rev. Je: e H. Campbell for his agency in procul'ing the location of an institution 01' their instruction within the limit. of the State. Hi philanthropic and Chri tian heart prompted him to endeavor to ameliorate the condition of tho e who, on account of the distance to the American A ylum, ,vould not avail them elves of th.e privileges offered by the State.

Hi fir t tep wa to hav the preYiou' act amended '0 a to allow deaf-mute. to be educated in e rgia lIpon the ame terms a aL Hartford. On ction of the amendatory act, approv d December 25, 1 -!5-and a gran 1 hri tma,' gift it proved to be to the deaf-mute of th tate-was a~ follow: 
" ection 3. uel be it further enacted b' the autborit: afore aid, That hi Excellency the GOY rnor be authorized to rp.move uch beneficiarie a are now at the aid A ylum at Hartford, if the mean' of a proper education b lIpplied at the Cedar Valley Academy, or eLewhere on the arne term' of economy to thi~ tate, and the general u~efulne... of tbe appl'opriation, rna Ie by said act of 183 ." 
After the pa '~age of thi am ndmeut, he opened a corre ponden e with the tr~stee: of .. "eml it. titution of learning, and amonO' th m wa' th Board f Tru tee. of the Hearn Manual Labor' hool, at av pring, in Floyd county. An arrangement wa effecled between 11'. ampbell and the tw. tee. of thiu ehool, by which a department hould be pened fOl' th rec ption of d af-mute pupil. The preliminar' arranO' ment. ha\'ing been eompl ted, :Mr. O. P. Fannin, thea 0 iate princiJ alof th Hearn :5chooJ,a Georgian by birtb and cdncation,-and a gentleman of fin literary attainment, was deputized to pro eed to Hartford to learn the method of teaching the deaf and dumb and to bring the eorgia pupil from the meri an \. ylum and enter them in th deaf-mut department f the Hearn

Thi departm nt wa' pIa ed uud l' the imm diate upervi ion of Mr. Fannin, and upon hi. return, aftet' au ab ence of everal month, wa opened fay 15, 1 46, in a log cabin which tood dir ctly in the rear of tbe pre ent Hearn chool building, with four pupil iu attendau 'e, viz.: Thoma iill , of Thomas count'; I urd ek IcDuffie, of

Pula ki county; Tempel'ance L. J ordao, of Oglethorpe <lounty, and Elmira PuO'h, of p"on county. 
Thi~ pet'iod, to which the frien] of the deaf and dumb can now look with plea 'ing r<'11e tion., wa. fraught with a dCO'l'ee of intere. t fat' beyond anything that wa conjectul'ed at the time. The 11 "eltyof the undertakinO', and the cntire ab_ence of any knowledO'e of the deaf-mute charactel', a. well as of the ob tacle. that . tood i 11 the way of hi aquit'ing an ~dllcation, on the part of all per 'on, connected therewith eemed to catTy with it the I romi of an eady failure and di. continuan . but u h was not the ca e, for the project')r.

While in attendance upon thi. department the pupil were b al'ded in private familie . the mal. with A. Richard. on and arter W, 'park, and the females with Rev. W. D. Cowdrey.

The number of pupil' had incrca ed to a doz n or mol' , and thu the department t od at the do. e of the y ar 1 -:1:7.
