REPORT OF TR STEE .

To His Excellency, JOSEPH M. TERRELL, Governor'of Georgia.

DEA.R IR: As required by law, I have the du y and the

honor to submit to yon a report of the Georgia School for

the Deaf for the year ending Oct. 1 1903.

The Board would first expre sits huppiness that through

the kindness of yourself alld the legislature mealls have

been provided for the erection of a huilding to increu e

onr dormitory facilities. Already we have made plan

and will erect this building a quickly as it call be done

properly.

A. to the attendance and other dettLils of the internal

mallagement of our chool, I refer you to the report of

the uperilltendent which I transmit herewith.

The report of our Physician in charge i also tmn mitted.

From this yon will learn that our health conditions are a

they 'honld be, ttnd that we have ucce fully protected

the chools against the invasioll of the seriou infectious

diseases prevalent ill portions of our State. The work

dOlle by our Specialist in diseases of Ear and Eye and

Throat is covered in his report, find is, we believe, of great.

value to the pupils of our chools. Thus you will e

that we are giving skillfnl oversight to the he.. l th of the

children eutrnsted to us.

Your attention is also called to report of our ecretary

and Trea urer. Hi books how that he hn paid out

during the yt-ar, all voucher from TO. 1 to TO. 512-

$30,161.45. The money with which thi wa paid wa

obtailled from the following sourc

From Appropriation for Supp I't, from October 1,

1902 to ~ ptember30, 1903......

.

*26,875.00

From Accumulation Sale from hops and Other

ource

. . . ..

. . ..

3 506.45

303 1.45

The UIl1I1l!uy of our bill 110\\' that we IHI\e actually expended for all purpo es .2 666.59. The di crepallcy hetween thi and the Trell nrer's vOllcher is only all apparent one clue to delay in presentinO" clJecks i u d th year previous. "e have carefully scrutinized all item on th books and account that go to make our financial statement, and we have no doubt that they are ab olutely correct.
It is the purpose of the Board to have our SchooL maintained trictly within the limit. of the appropriation made therefor, but with a large chool attendllnce lind a ri ing stand:Lr<! of prices ,,'e fear it will be impo 'ible t.o do t his for a full 'chola tic year 011 the 111 an,' in our po ession, but I a.-sure you thnt, no mntter what the disappoi ntmen t or sacrifice, the Board \\' ill not tran celld ha amount.
The Board of Trustee' ha en prop I' to buy It tract of land of about thirty (30) acre, lying alollgside of th
chool property, for which $1,116.66 WlI paid. As the premi 'es were becominO' very much crowded and this being the only land that would ever be available the Board was of One mind touching the advi 'ability of thi purchase, for if it had pa sed into the hand, of other P!LI'-
,y ties, the probabil ity is that it could not have been had h Il
needed except at a great advance ill price. 'l'hi purchll. e IVU paid for Ol,t of our accumulation fund from t he sale' of the industrinl and other ource, 110 special appropriation having been made to cover it.
The upport Fund $27,500 proving in, ufficient, the Board 1m' been forced to apply the ales from the hop accumulated for year to pay it expenditure. By the end of the next fi cnl year thi accumulatioll will be llbsorbed and it will therefore be necessary that the next approprintion for support fund be increased. The sale. from the hop hOllld, in the desire of the Board, be held in re erve for nece ary repair.
In concl n ion we commend the work done b our abl uperintendent, anI' CllPllbl and devoted teacher, ,and

7
ollr highly efficient matron and her nssi tauts. On the e officer has fallen the patient and loving care so needed oy Ollr deaf chi Idren, and I a me you that they are worthy and well qunlified; that they perform their dutie admimlJly.
Very re pectfnlly , 'iV. J. GRIFFI ,

REPORT OF PRY ICIA

CAVE PRL'\G, GA. ept. 30 1903.

To TV. O. CONNOR, Principal.

I herewith UbllliL to you my anlllllLl report a. Physiciall ill the Georgia School for the Deaf. 'While tlJere has been no increll 'e in the amoullt of ickiles', there hu.. beell more than u 'ua1 of a serious nature.
\Ve had one Cll e of Acute or Galloping Con:mnption, in the White Department, which proved l'Ilpidly fatal. AI 0 three ca es of PJlenmonia, Olle in tIJe 'White Department Hnd two in he egro Departmellt, one of which, with cerebral complicatioll', proved fatnl, tIJe otlJer two made complete recoverie '.
AllotlJer case of Actu Articular Rheumati m of an inflammatory nature, with actne exacerbatiolls 0 er a period of three montlJ' developed a heart complication which had evidence of a pecific her dital'Y disea e, and this case, not re ponding well to any treatment ill'tituted died . after Hn illne . of three month or more.
The girls in the White DeptLrtment were exceptionully free from di ease, alld t.here ha been no contagiou disease worthy of llIen tion in the In titution d uri Ilg the year. Thi was largely due to tIJe efficiellt care of the Matron and assistants ill looking after the minor ailments that warded off more seriplL sickne '.
Below you will filld lL tabulated tatment of the vllriOlls disea e treated by me dnring the year:

REPORT OF A RI T ND 00 LI T.
ROME, GA., Sept. 30, 1903. 'To W. O. CONNOR, P1-incipal.
DEAR IR: Dllri ng t,he pa t year J have deyot~d the followilw days to work in my depilrtmen a the chool for the Denf: October 24, Novem bel' 14, .J: ovember 2 ,December 12, Jannary 9, January 23, Febrll!tJ'y 6, Febrllnry 27,
March 13, rarch 27, April ,A pril 24, and lay 26.
Exnmination of 21 new white pll pi I , 15 boy alld 6 girl , were made and recorded with t he other, ill he 01 inical Record.
Examination and suitable treatment were doDe for 10 lIegro children who 'bowed eye defects.
Of the lIew whi te pupil , I recommellded that 3 he not retained in the chool. Two of !-hese, a boy aged 7 and a girl aged 15 were ca e of Feeule-mindedl1e that had been lllitaken for deltfn s. that did notexi t; the other, a girl, had impair d hearing, but 1l0t to llll extent to pI' venl, educatioll in ordinary school.
The eye of 21 white and 7 negro childrell were refracted under belhldonnadrop , and 1 of the e children were fiLted wiLh suitable gIn 'ses, fUl'1li,'hed at a nominal cost.
Twenty-eight operations were dOlle. Of the e 14 were to remove Illl'td ob lrllction 5 to remove adenoid vegetation from tbe nn o-pbarynx, 4to remove faucial Lon .. il. 2 to remove foreigll bodie from tbe ear, 1 to tal,e a foreicrn body froll the eye, 1 for granulated Iids alld olle for au ces of the lid.
Impacted WliX was removed froll olle or both ears of 10 pupil.
ix pupil were lIcces fully treated for lIppumtion of olle or both middle ears. Three Cil e' of granulated lids received only medical treatmellt. Many oLher millor affections, including 9 case of ncute ore eye, received atLen tion.

23
The results of the operations and lreatUll:mt )rere, I
think, sltLi factory. I estimate that about 10% of the deaf-mute pupils are
capable of arrest of increa ing deafness or eveLl of more or
less improvement in hearing. That this improvement tl.JOugh of vnlue, is greatly limited and pr~cticlLlIy can never amout to cure, rest upon the a.-sured fact I hat the
e. seuLild Ie ion of confirmed deaf-muti. J11 re ides not
simply in the impairment of fUliction, but in the death
and destrnction of essen tial parts. Where this ruin is incomplete lLlld, which is a much mrer
condition in mutes, when impaired functionlJits not pa ed
into organic loss, lJenefit is possible.
Consecutive examinations of 171 pupils show blood
related parentage for 19%. Thi, approxi mates tlmL of the
be ,t and latest tatisLics, which connect 16% of all deaf-
mul.es with consanguineous parentage.
Of these 171 cases, 25%, who have no history of conSllnguineous parent~tge, how hereditary iufinence. Less than 2% of the e admit deaf parents or grand parents, I.'ut
confess to deaf brother, sisters, cousins, uncles or auuls. TIm', iti seen thatat least41% of all the whitedeaf-nmtes attending this school for the last 2 years show either heredity or con ltnguin i(,y of paren t as presumptive cau e 0 f deafness.
PursulLnt to request of members of the Board of 1 ruslees, I have secured all the informlttion I could about the cousticon, the late, t invention of :Mr. Hutchison. I have. en and examined the improved instrument. 1 have also corre ponded with eminent ear specinlists who are in It posi tion to know most about it.
My conclusion i Lhat, whatever mayor 11111.y not be th meriLs of this in trument for the merely hard of hearing, or for selected mutes who have considemhle hearing and enjoye pecial opportunities for individual teaching, it efficiency for deaf-mute instruction, under present conditions, remains yet to be e tablishecl. It, cost. is so considerable ltnd the adv~.ntage so doubtful tlmt I callDO now advise the purchase of thi instrument.
Very respectfully,
Ross P. Cox, Aurist and Oculist.
