4: Document No. 3 [Session
Application was made to the Board during the past session
to receive colored deaf and dumb and blind pupils into the
Institution. The correspondence upon that subject with Gen-eral
Nelson A, Miles, Assistant Commissioner of the Bureau
of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, will be found
embodied in the report of the Principal.
The Board respectfully recommends this correspondence to
your special consideration.
The blind department of the Institution has been the reci-pient
of a beautiful Parlor Organ. This generous gift was
made through Miss D. L. Dix, who is so well known for her
noble and self-denying labors in behalf of the insane in this
State. Miss Dix states that Mr. W. W. Corcoran, of Wash-ington,
D, C, and Mr. J. Harris Fahnstock, of New York,
aided her in the donation. Messrs. Scribner & Co., of New
Tork City, and tlie Hon. O. H. Browning, Secretary of the
Interior, contributed valuable books to the library of the In-stitution,
Suitable acknowledgments were made in return
through the Principal, for such generous gifts.
The next session commences on the first September next,
and as the appropriation for the last session is almost ex-pended,
it will require that the usual provision should be
made before that time to enable the officers to carry "it on.
The accompanying reports of the Principal, Auditor and
Treasurer are so fall and complete, the Board can but refer
you to them for a more full and thorough understanding of
the detailed operations of the Institution for the past two
years, with the hope and belief, that the General Assembly
will continue to foster this benevolent institution, which has
done so much good for the unfortunate and afflicted of our
race.
To the Principal, with his corps of teachers and assistants,
too much praise cannot be accorded for the success which has
attended this labor, and it is with much pleasure that the Board
can endorse their valuable services.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. McKEE,
President of the Board of Direciars,
Raleigh, July 10th, 1868.
