1899] Document No. 18. 11
Out of thirty-five pupils, who entered in 1897, fifteen were retained
in the Oral Department, and all at the present writing are doing
well.
Three pupils were transferred from the Manual Department, mak-ing
the total number of pupils in the Oral Department from Sep
tember, 1897, to June, 1898, fifty-two. These were graded as well as
possible into five classes. Two of the classes contained two divis-ions
each—Miss Stinson's and my own.
At the semi annual meeting of the Board in November, Miss Hes
ta Reed, who had completed a year's course of observation and prac-tice
work in the department, was appointed an assistant teacher,
and she has rendered valuable service in this capacity.
About one-half of my time was devoted to the two divisions of my
own class, and one half w^as spent in the other classes— teaching, ad-vising
with the teachers, and observing their work.
In January a written test or examination was prepared and con-ducted
by myself in each class, and at the annual examination in
June the speech of each pupil in the department was tested and
graded by myself.
The work of the year, taken as a whole, was satisfactory. The
close of school found the classes in good shape—better graded
than at the beginning, the teachers better prepared for the work,
and the pupils working w^ith vigor and interest.
An Oral Teachers' Class was formed at the begianing of the year
and continued semimonthly meetings during the session.
The special features of our work—speech and language teaching
—
were carefully and ihoroughly studied, and I furnished Ihe teachers
with a very full set of notes with diagrams on the formation and
development of the elementary sounds.
We are indebted to Dr. George H. Moran, who, at your invitation,
gave us a series of intei-esting talks on the throat and the ear.
Two young ladies. Miss Mattie Simms, of Raleigh, and Miss Annie
Ervin of Morganton, spen1 ihe year in observation and practice
work in the class rooms. Miss Simms was engaged this year as a
teacher, and Miss Ervin secured a position in the Georgia School for
the Deaf.
In August I attended the Convention'of Instructors of the Deaf held
at Columbus. Ohio, and by invitation of the Chairman of the Normal
section, gave an examplification of ujy method of speech and lan-guage
teaching, with Munny Hartsell, a congenitally deaf pupil
from this school. It is a satisfaction to feel that this work was
warmly endorsed by the members of the Convention.
At the opening of the school in September, 1898, three pupils did
not return to school, one returned after a year's ab.sence. Twenty-eight
new pupils were admitted into the Institution, nineteen of
