REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
TEXAS DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM, 1. AUSTIN, December 1, 1884.
To Hon. John Ireland, Governor: SIR—I here submit a report of the
operations of the above institution from January 1, 1884, to date. On the former date the school was not in session. The old buildings had been removed, the new had not been com-pleted, and the walls of the rooms com-pleted were not sufficiently dry to admit their immediate occupancy. Though the buildings were not com-pleted, yet a full corps of teachers had been employed and were drawing the salaries appropriated. Under the cir-cumstances, it was thought advisable to open the school on the earliest day compatible with the health of the pupils. Accordingly the school was opened on March 3, and continued in session to July 31. During this term ninety-eight pupils were enrolled. Of this number one was sent home be-cause of inability to attend to the de-mands of his own person; one because of irregularities in conduct, which ir-regularities arose from mental derange-ment; and one was placed temporarily in charge of a class. During this term of five months the advancement of the pupils was satisfactory—their deportment good and health favorable. The present session of the school open-ed September 1, and has continued for three months. Up to date one hun-dred and nineteen pupils have been enrolled. Of this number one has been dismissed on account of rude conduct, and one has returned home to assist in the labor of the farm. So far this session the teachers have been faith-ful, the pupils have made satisfactory advancement in their studies, and the general operations of the institution
have been orderly and successful. No serious case of sickness has occurred. Twenty pupils are under instruction in articulation. These are being prac-ticed in lip-reading and speech. The recitations of these classes are so ar-ranged as not to hinder the regular exercises of the school. The pupils in this department are selected from those who give greatest promise of be-ing benefited by such instruction. During the year one hundred and twen-ty-nine have been enrolled, but the number now in school is one hundred and seventeen, three having been sent home, one having voluntarily gone home, and eight pupils of the spring term having not returned. Three of this eight have notified the Superin-tendent that they will return at the earliest practicable time.
Since the last annual report there has been some changes in the corps of teachers. As now constituted the fol-lowing are the corps: R. H. KINNEY PRINCIPAL

In the education of the deaf great attention is given to the industrial de-partment. It is considered important that they be instructed in the indus-trial arts in view of becoming self-sup porting. Accordingly in this institu-tion a number of the larger boys have been placed in the several shops: thir-teen in the printing office, three in the book-bindery, and eight in the shoe shop. The remaining boys of suitable age are employed, as occasion may

demand, in labor in the yard, garden, and farm. The girls receive instruc-tion in cutting and sewing, in the use of the sewing machine, and by details serve in the dining hall.
The progress of these pupils in these several trades gives assurance that in time they will be qualified to earn their own living. The pupils in the printing office and book-bindery work under the instruction of the public printer and bookbinder, and whatever profit arises from their labor goes to the State through the Board of Public Printing. The boys in the shoe shop work under the instruction of a skilful expert, and are making rapid progress. As time advances and the arrangements of the institution become nearer per-fect, the industrial department will, of course, be enlarged.
I beg to make a few suggestions which I deem important to the well being of the institution.
The school under judicious manage-ment will increase in number from year to year. This increase will cor-respond with the rapid increase of population. It will go beyond this. There are many deaf children now in the state who are not receiving the benefits of the institution. Their par-ents know nothing of the provisions made for their education, and some who know are unable to pay the way of their children to and from the In-stitution. By circulars and advertise-ments the provisions of the institution could be generally made known, and by financial aid given in the way of paying railroad charges in cases of the indigent, a number could be brought in, who are now growing up in igno-rance. One hundred and twenty-nine have been enrolled this year. The an-nual increase may be greatly fixed by the provisions made for the enlarge-ment of the institution. With ade-quate appropriations the increase will be at least twenty-five per cent per annum for several years, and can be made larger than this.
I would further suggest that the expenses of a deaf-mute school cannot
be estimated by the expenses of other schools. In ordinary public schools, by proper grading, our teachers can instruct forty or fifty pupils, but the defects of the deaf are such as to ne-cessitate small classes and a correspond-ing increase of teachers. Further, the industrial departments add to the ex-pense. These cannot be made self-sustaining until a number of pupils are advanced in their several trades, and as soon as they are somewhat skilled they will incline to go out into the world and themselves reap the profits of their labor.
I would respectfully suggest that the salaries of several teachers be in-creased, that the second teacher receive $720 per year, that the first, sec-ond and third additional teachers receive each $600 per year. This suggestion is based on the difficulty in securing suitable teachers and the im-portance of retaining such. You can readily understand that the difficulty in securing suitable teachers for the deaf is, increased by the additional qualifications demanded and the in-creased labor necessary.
I would further suggest that it is very important that the salaries of the mon-itor and monitress be increased to such amount as will induce well educated young gentlemen and ladies, blessed with the gifts of hearing and speech, to accept these positions. This sug-gestion is made from several consid-erations. On the present salaries only deaf-mute pupils can be put into these offices. Their deafness is a disqualifi-cation which militates against the good order and safety of the pupils, and the duties of these places militate against the progress of the pupils filling them. A second consideration is, these offices should be held by persons already educated in the literary course, and who would accept these lower positions in view of becoming familiar with the language of signs, and thereby being qualified for the higher and more lucrative office of teacher. The time has come when this institution should supply its own teachers. Heretofore
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT. 7
the rule of dependence on other states and institutions has held. Only a more inviting salary will secure teach-ers comfortably located in other places. The floating teacher not wanted in other schools is always obtainable. It has been by mere good luck that teach-ers so worthy have been secured. Political changes had thrown them out, health demanded a milder climate, in-ternal disturbances had unsettled them.
But these teachers have held them-selves subject to offers from their former latitudes, and one after another they have gone. The rule of self-supply is altogether practicable, and the only rule that will give a qualified and permanent cores of teachers. The offices of monitr and monitress should be filled by young gentlemen and ladies selected on account of scholarship, character and temper, and in view of promotion after one or two years. On this plan a vacancy among the teachers can be readily filled by one educated in letters and signs, and by home ties and association in-terested in the welfare of the institu-tion and honor of the State.
It is further suggested that the matrons should receive $480 each per annum. The labors of these posi-tions increase with the increase of the school. No other than persons of superior qualification should hold these positions, and the filling them requires unusual watchfulness and energy.
There should be added to the in-dustrial department a carpenter shop, and an expert provided. This would involve but little additional expense.
So far it has been found necessary to keep in constant employ a carpen-ter, and for some time to come his services will be needed in carpenter• ing and painting and in such improve-ments as are called for by the demands of the school. The only real addi-tional expense involved in the estab-lishment of such shop would be for tools and a room.
It is further suggested that the ex-pert in printing, under whose immedi-ate care is placed the boys engaged in this art, should be as other experts, an employe of the superintendent, and not of the Board of Public Printing. For the proper management and pro-gress of these boys the Superintendent is held responsible, and should have the appointing of the expert.
It would add to the usefulness of the school if a teacher in drawing and painting should be provided. The eye of the deaf is quickened by the want of hearing, and several of the pupils show a marked talent in this direction. However, this is not so essential as to be urged as a real neces-sity. No doubt instruction in this would benefit some of the pupils, and might open to them a pleasant and profitable livelihood.
The plan of the buildings has not been fully carried out. It was the intention to heat by boiler, but the appropriation was not sufficient for the erection of a boiler house, etc. How-ever, I suppose the Trustees will con-sider this question, and also the neces-sity of providing additional buildings for dormitories.

BIENNIAL REPORT OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF
TEXAS DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM. To His Excellency John Ireland, Governor of the
State of Texas:
SIR —It is made our duty by law to report to the Nineteenth Legisla-ture, on the First day of January, 1885, the operations of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum for the years 1883 and 1884. This duty we respectfully per-form through your Excellency. For full particulars, however, we refer to the accompanying Report of the Su-perintendent.
We cannot but congratulate the State upon the completion of
THE NEW BUILDINGS.
These, finished according to exhibit and plan of Architect, are at once commodious, comfortable, convenient, and imposing in their appearance. Their erection received the personal supervision of the Board of Trustees almost from day to day, and the result is highly creditable to the contractors. The work is well done, and the build-ings are not only an ornament, but well adapted to the purposes for which they were designed. We regret that the appropriation of $59,046, large as it may seem, and every dollar of which was judiciously and econom ically expended, was not sufficient to cover the entire plan as proposed: The heating apparatus, with its ap-purtenances, we were compelled to leave out for want of sufficient funds. We have, however, so arranged that the buildings are sufficiently warmed by the use of large stoves. This must, however, necessarily be temporary, and therefore we respectfully suggest an additional appropriation of eight thousand dollars, or so much as may he necessary, for the purchase of boil-
ers, radiators, etc., and the erection of such buildings as may be necessary for their use, and also for laundry pur-poses.
Such part of the appropriation for FENCE PURPOSES,
as was deemed necessary, has been wisely expended in building a new fence, and necessary repairs, and the fences are now in good condition.
The appropriation of two thousand dollars for purchase of
TWENTY-FIVE ACRES OF LAID,
has not been touched,' the Board not being able to purchase desirable land at a reasonable price.
RESIGNATION.
Col. John S. Ford tendered his resignation as Superintendent of the Asylum, November. 1883, to take ef fect January 1, 1884. It was accept-ed.
ELECTION OF SUPERINTENDENT.
Dr. Wm. Shapard was unanimous• ly elected as Superintendent, and took Charge promptly of the Institution January 1, 1884, since which time he has been engaged, earnestly, thought-fully, diligently, and patiently, in or-ganizing, developing, and elevating the Institution.
In securing his services, the Board esteem themselves peculiarly fortu-nate, as experience has proved that he possesses rare qualifications for this important and responsible position. Dr. Shapard possesses not only intelli-gence, but combines in a rare degree the qualities of a good executive offi-cer, and love, the most tender, for all the inmates of the Institution. Al-ready he has acquired a thorough ac-quaintance with all the principles and
10 TEXAS DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM
use of the sign language, as well as with the deeper, philosophical princi-ples underlying an enlightened system of mute instruction.
We call special attention to the fact that he is surrounding himself *ith a corps of thoroughly educated teachers, and that his aim is to create such an esprit de corps among them, and in fact among all connected with the Institu-tion, as that without jar, animated by the highest enthusiasm and devotion to their work, the institution shall become the peer of any in the land, and the pride of the State. His idea is that of a gradually ascending grade of teachers, beginning with the lowest, all having received a complete educa-tion in the schools of the State, and then receiving the technical instruction necessary to qualify them for teaching mutes, in a sort of normal class, form-ed in the Institution. Fully to develop this will require time and patience. but we fully endorse the plan. as alone meeting a long felt want, and secur-ing teachers and officers upon whose services we can rely, and whose quali-fications shall be preeminent for their respective positions.
It is especially gratifying to note the increased interest in the work of this Institution in all parts of the State, and the
INCREASED NUMBERS IN ATTENDANCE
the present session, fully 25 per cent over that of any previous year. As the population increases, and the nat-ure and design of the Asylum become better known, this increase will doubt-less augment with each succeeding year. While this is a matter of con-gratulation, it also will bring addi-tional responsibility, and the necessity for increased appropriations for
YET ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS, and especially for boys. The accom- modations are not much more than sufficient for those now in attendance,
and with a corresponding increase for a few years it would be impossible to find room for them. Such increase would also necessitate
ADDITIONAL TEACHERS,
and in fact employes of every de-scription. The prudent recommenda-tions of the Superintendent covering all these points, are fully endorsed by the Board.
CONCLUSION.
The past two years have been years of toil, harmony, and progress. The Board is conscious of having impar-tially administered the important in-terests committed to its charge, and realize that their highest reward has been found in the work itself, in its developement, and increasing influ-ence and usefulness, and more es-pecially with the satisfactory
SANITARY CONDITION
of the Institution, as we have to re• port no serious sickness or death among the pupils for the past two years. This is doubtless owing to the unsleeping vigilance of the officers, and the constant and watchful care of the health physician.
As an additional element towards the promotion of health, vigor and recreation of the pupils, it is highly desirable that the grounds should be improved, and we would suggest an appropriation of $500 for this purpose.
We close by commending the Insti-tution, with all its interests, to the fostering care of the honorable body authorized by the people of Texas to provide for their unfortunate children deprived of hearing and speech.
