REPORT OF TRUSTEES.

To His Excellency, W. Y. Atkinson, Governor of Ge orgia

SIR :-Complyingo with the law governing the reports of public institutiolls, I beg to submit the following

report as President of tbe Board of Trustees of the

Georgia Scbool for tbe Deaf.

The report made to your Excellency in October, 1896,

shows tbat we had the following balances of former

appropriations on band:

Repairs, Colored Department

.. __ . _ .__ . $ 51.55

Fencing

.

..

70.62

DL'ainage __ .

._. __ .. __ .

_ 25.25

Total

._ _

$147.40

These unexpended balances are insufficient to carry

'On the work intended and have been held, hoping that

at some time in the near future, the work now on band

being completed, the General Assembly would elect to

supplement tbese balances with an appropriation ade-

quate to tbe needs of tbe school.

The General Assembly at the session of 1896 appro-

priated the following amounts forPainting, etc. .

Steam beating

. ._ .

Electric lighting .

..

Shop equipments

.

_ $1,500.00 _ 5,000.00 _ 2,000.00 _ 2,500.00

TotaL

.

$11,000.00

The amount appropriated for painting has been expended, leaving balance on hand of but two cents. A contract covering the amount appropriated for steam heating has been made with Messrs. Glaskin & Co., or

8
Atlanta. The work is well under way and wm be completed by the first of November next. Accorling to the term of the contract, nearly half the work being done, Messr Gla kin r Co. have been paid one-fourth of the price of their contract. Anothet' fourth will be due when the heating plant ba been properly installed; one-fourth thirty days after installation, and final paymen t th irty day thereafter. Contract for electric lighting, covering the amount appropriated, was given to Mr. G. H. Wade of Atlanta. The work i well under way and will be comlleteu early in ovember. The $2,500.00 appropriated for shop equipment will be expended by the Board between now and the mid He of
ovember, action in the matter being delayed until the completion of the electric light and steam heating plant.
The team heating and electric lighting will only be partial, the amouut approl riated being too mall to cover hop and colored department. We re pectfully ask that the pa t appropriation be supplemented with an amount of 4,000.00 to complete tbe work. A.t the last se sion of tbe General A. embly the school was given an appropriation for upport and maintenance of 25,000.00. Three-quarters of the year have pas ed and find u with a balance on hand of 509.26. The nex.'t or la t quarter of the year, and the mo t expensive, will demon tmte wbether or llOt tbi appropriation was sufficient. Tbe ummel', or quarter just pa ed, being vacation tel'm, tbe upport fund wa in a great mea ure used for tbe payment of alaries and repairs of the premises. This is, of neces ity, a cheap period.
The buildings and grounds are in good condition. Buildings have been thoroughly painted, room walls

9

kalsomined, and inside wood-work properly painted,

the property now showing a refreshing aI;lpearance of

ownership.

The requirements of the school are yet numerous

I
and might be footed up a follows:

Boiler room, etc.

.

...

_ $ 1,000.00

Dining room and industrial room for girls __ 15,000.00

Gymna ium and bathing pool for boy _ 6,000.00

Amt. nece sary to complete electric lighting 1,500.00

Amt. nece sary to complete team heating 2,500.00

Amt. neces ary to make proper additions for

the accol't1modatiou of colored pupils __ 5,000.00

Total

. $31,000.00

The h alth of the chool ha been good, the attendance large and the mplo ee faithful iu the pel'formauce of their duty. The Boal'd of Tru tee can now congrat.. ulate the school in the pl'O pects of Immediate relief f!'Om the dang-er of open fire places and oil lighting.
I enclo e report of Principal, Tl'easurer, Physician and Ma tel' of hop, marked A, B, 0 and D, to which I r pectfully a k your con ideration. The Treasurer's report of the upport fund shows a balance on hand of ,1,470.21, while the true balance is $509.26, the difi'erence being made of out tanding approved account not y t pre ented for payment. I take pleasure in commending the "ork of the Principal and his corp of a i tants, as w 11 a the work of t.he Phy ieian, and the Secretary and 'frea urer. I beg to retul'U thanks tv your Excellency for official courtesy in the discharge of my duty.
Very respectfully,

FELIX CORPUT, President Board of Trustees of Georgia choo! for the Deaf.

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT.
To the Board of Trustees of the Geo?'flia School for theDeaf:
GENTLEMEN:-In the conuuct of the ordinary afiairs. of the school for the year euding September 30th, 1897,. there is nothing to report out of the usual line,
The admis ions into the white department for the fiscal year ending September 30th, 1897, have been 116, and into the uegL'o department 56, with a total of 172.
The expenditures for support amounted to $23,229.83. For the last quarter of 1896 the appropriation was. $5,000.00, and the three quarters of 1897, $18,750.00, making an aggt'egate of $23,750.00,
While there have been perhaps a greater number of cases than usual requiring the attention of the physician, yet, with one or two exceptions, none of them proved of a very serious nature. In the report of the physician, to which I respectfully refer you, you will fiud a detailed tatement of cases.
Mr. Henry B. Watts tendered his resignation of his place as teacher, to take efi'ect January 1 t, on account of his impaired health, which was accepted, and his. place was temporarily filled by John J. Kiiroy, one of the pupils, who had finished his ten years' course the first of the year, for which ervice he was allowed fifteen dollars a month with boaL'd. In addition to this he has done all the glazing aud ordinary painting that was necessary to be done from time to time.
In accordance with your instructious, a reliable man has been employed as night-watchman, at twenty-five dollars a month with board.
A new water wheel has been built and the pipes for pumping overhauled ancl put in first-cIa s condition, so that no work on them will be neecled for years to come.

11
Th money appropriated by the LeO'i lature fot' paintinO' ba 1 een expended, and the result is a vet'y much impl'Oved apr earance in the pl'emi e generally. In addition to thi the roofs have been repaired, and the wall, whel'e needed, kal omined.
Contracts hav been made for beating the dormitory and school building of the white department b steam, and liO'bting the ame buildingM , with the laundry and bam added, with electri<;ity. The wot'k is now being executed, and, a far as can be seen, with faithfulness and in a superior manner. There will be needed to finish steam heating and lectric lighting for the negro depat'tment the um of fout' thousand dollars.
'l'he appropt'iation for equir ping tbe hop ha not yet been expended but will be oon. A practical carpen tel' ba been employed fOI' the wood-wo~'kin0' department, and when the shop ha been properly ulJplied with the neces ary machinery much of the work needed by tbe school from time to time can be done here.
When tbe shop ha been equipped it will furni h the boy opportunity to leal'll something of peiating, wood work in all line, black mithing and shoemaking. But nothinO' will have been doue toward indu trial training for the girl .
The crowded condition of the kitchen and dining room demand the erection of an addition to the pre ent premises. By building an addition 50xl30, two stories hiO'h, ample dining room pace will be ecured, with a commodiou kitchen an 1 bakery. Ov rhead tbe room can be arranged and set apart fOl' u e in industrial tl'aining for girls and among the indu tt'ie I would recommend eientific dl'e fitting and tailol'il1O', fancy needle work and cooking. In the bakery boys can be used and no better trade could be giv u them

12
than to make them good baker~. To el'ect the building will reqnil'e a sum of fifteen thousand dollars.
::mvet'ywhere, physical training i~ now recognized as a valuable adjunct to every school. If this is necessary for the heal'illO", how much more i it important for the deaf, who have entailed upon them, by the causes which operate to produce deafnes , enfeebled con titutions, and a building to co t six thou and dollars. hould be erected, In the ba ement, bath rooms, a wimming pool, with ample water do ets for the boy, can be provided. Additions to the buildings of the negro department ar badly needed for the dOl'mH,ory, dining room and kitchen purpo es. The pace allotted to sleeping rooms for the o-irls especially, being entirely inadequate.
The various officers have performed their duties in a sati factory manner, as u ual, and have alway given me their earnest support in the administration of the affairs of the choo\.
Again thanking you for the courte ies extended me, and for the confidence repo ed in me, I am,
Very respectfully, W. O. CONNOR, Principal

GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
CAVE SPRING, GEORGIA.
As its name implies, this if! strictly a school for th~ education of deaf persons, and in no sen e an asylum, as many are pleased to term it; neither is it a charitable institution, any more than the colleges at Athens and at Dahlonega, the School of Technology, and the Girls" Industrial School are charitable institutions; a public school, pure and simple, and was e tablished for thebenefit of snch persons as are too deaf to be in tructed by the methods nsed in the other public schools of the State, whether they al'e possessed of speech left them after becoming deaf or not. It is located in Cave Spring, Floyd county, ou the line of the Alabama division of the Soutbern Railway, and is easily accessibl~ from all parts of the State. From Atlanta, parties can take tbeir choice of either of two routes, viz.: by theWestern and Atlantic Railroad to Rome, or by theSoutbern Railway to Rome, and tbence to Cave Spring, sixteen miles,bythe Alabama division, outhem Railway.
The school comprises two depal'tments, one for white and the other for the colored deaf. These departments, are situated abont three hundred yards f.'om each other,. and while uuder the same superintendence, are separate and disti nct 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 tbeir education. Be ide this. they are tau.e;ht arithmetic, geograpby, grammar, bistory, philo ophy, penmanship, etc. On Sunday a lectur~ is delivered to them on Scripture in the sign language,. and they are required to recite from the International Sunday School Lessons.
In the Mechanical Department the boys are taught sboemaking, and the girls sewing of various kinds, and the cutting and fitting of garments.

31
TERMS OF ADMISSION..
All deaf person.s of the State who are over seven and under twenty-five 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 school,-free -of char[1e,-absolutely no fees of any kind being 1"equired. Parents or guardians are expected to furnish satisfactory evidence of the above facts. In cuse 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 tate. 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 Trustess for both boys and .girls, and every pupil must conform to the regulations in this respect. Iu 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 corre.spond, 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, will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection.
Each child, upon its admission, if possible, must come -supplied with, and keep on hand at all time, the number of garments of all kinds contained 'in the lists herewith furnished-no more nor no less-with the name distinctly marked in indellible ink on each piece.

32
Every person accepting the provIsIOns of the State for the education of the deaf places himself under obligatLOn to keep his child or children in the school the full term of seven years, for otherwise it fails in a great meaSUl'e of accomplishing the design of its establishment.
AU who are admitted compose one family in each of the departments respectively, and must conform to the government of the school, which resembles th-lt oi' a well regulated family, and be placed on an equality as to attention, labor, etc. There will be exercised continual superintendence of health, manners, and morals of the pupils.
Every pupil in the school is taught some useful employment; hence all are required to labor 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 he a public examination of the pupils, conducted by the Principal.
The opening of the term is the proper time for the ad.mission of pupils, and punctuality is necessarily required, as new classes are formed and the old ones reorganized at this pel iod. Every pupil should come promp'tly 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/lis prompt attendance at the openir.g of the term.
Except in cases of absolute necessity no pu pil 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

33
be kept at the school except in cases of necessity, unless they are employed to work in the shop or elsewhere about the premises.
All applications for the admission of pupils, business comm.unications and letters of inquiry respecting pupils of the schools should be prepaid and addressed to "W. O. Connor, Principal of the Georgia School for the Deaf, Cave Spring, Georgia." All letters to pupils and packages by freight or express must be prepaid, and contain the words "School for the Deaf" as part of their direction.
