PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
To Honorable W. W. Kitchin,
Governor of North Carolina,
Dear Sir:—I have the honor to submit to your Excellency
herewith the eleventh Biennial Report of the Board of Direc-tors
of the North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb, and
respectfully ask your careful examination of the condition,
progress, and needs of the Institution of which they are
the State's custodians.
The North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb was
established by act of the Legislature of 1891. Previous to this
year, the Blind and the Deaf had been in the same school, the
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind at Raleigh.
This legislature realized the difficulty of educating the two
classes of unfortunates, between which there was nothing in
common, in the same school. As the years ago by the wis-dom
of this location becomes more and more apparent, for
nowhere in the state is there a situation having superior ad-vantages.
The elevation above the malarial line, the excellent
natural drainsge, the pure water, the panorama of loftly
mountains which wall the horizon, together with the salubrious
climate there found, make the situation ideal.
The history of the early struggles, of the gradual and yet
successful progress of the North Carolina School for the Deaf
and Dumb, during the twenty years of its life, is an open
book in this State, and one to which the Board of Directors
point with pride. In solving all these problems, the Board have
endeavored not to be swerved from their sense of obligation
to the State, or duty to the unfortunate class for whose best
physical, mental and moral development the school was
founded.
The members of the Board have fully appreciated the sacred
privilege placed in their hands by the State of North Carolina.
They cannot forget that they are the custodians of a class
whose ears have been stopped, whose lips have been sealed,
who do not compiehend the meaning of life—its sacred re-
8 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
lations, or obligations. But for this beneficent provision
made by the State, these children must be a burden on their
parents during their childhood and youth, and on the state in
their old age. Your Board fully appreciates the glorious
privilege and opportunity they have of putting into effect ed-ucational
policies which will help unseal these dumb lips, and
and unstop these deaf ears, and put this class in touch with
life, and the privileges of citizenship. The course of study
employed is the grammar school course, to which Latin and
Algebra, where desired, are added for one or two years; but
this course is by no means all that is taught to the boys and
girls of this school. Plain sewing, dress-making, cutting and
fitting, and cooking are taught to the girls thoroughly and
practically, to enable them to make their own way in the
world, and to be useful in their homes. Printing, cabinet-nunking,
carpentry, shoe-making and agriculture with its al-lied
industries of dairying, etc., are thoroughly, and system-atically,
taught to the boys. The whole idea of the course of
study as planned here is to train the students that they may
become happy, independent, and self-supporting citizens, and
contribute to the wealth of the State.
In the education of the Deaf, two methods are recognized,
the oral or German method, founded by Samuel lleinicke.and
the manual or sign method, founded by Abbe de l'Epee, of
Paris. For considerably over a century these methods have
been on trial in the old world, and each method has accom-plished
much in the education of the Deaf, and in the amel-ioration
of their condition. Most of the schools of Furope,
(83 per cent), use the oral method. Up to the year 1867
from an accidental chain of circumstances, the manual or sign
method was almost exclusively used in the United States.
Since that period the growth and development of the oral
method of instruction has been remarkable. Owing, however,
to the fact that the manual method had been firmly and
strongly planted, and had its good points and strong apostles,
it has not been entirely superseded except in a few instances
bv the oral method.
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB 9
Inmost schools, the two methods work side by side. So
well pleased, however, have the American schools been with
the results of oral teaching, that a large majority, (about 75
per cent,) of the pupils now in the American Schools are
taught speech, and speech reading, by speech and writing.
Schools in which both the oial and manual methods are used
side by side, are called "Combined Schools." Such
a school is the North Carolina School for the Deaf and
Dumb. Every child that enters this school is first placed in
the oral department, and given a fair opportunity to be train-ed
by that method. Unless after thorough trial, it is found
that through mental or physical imperfections, or advanced
age, he cannot be taught successfully by the oral method, he
is kept in the oral department.
There has been some misunderstanding of the policy of this
school, which misunderstanding has led to criticism and mis-representation.
This will disappear on investigation of fact.
Under the present Board, and present management of the
school, there will be no radical change in the method used.
Our policy is the same as that of most schools for the Deaf. A
resolution was passed by the Convention of American Instruct-ors
of the Deaf at Berkley, Cal., in 1886, that "persistent en-deavors
should be made in every schoel for the deaf to teach
every pupil to speak and read from the lips." Six years later
at the Conference of Superintendents and Principals at Colo-rado
Springs, a resolution was passed without a dissenting
vote, that "pupils who are able to articulate fluently and in-telligibly
should recite orallv in their classes." The North
Carolina School for the Deaf has adopted the spirit of these
resolutions, and is endeavoring to work out for each child his
highest mental development by the use of that method
which seems to be best in his particular case.
As indicated above, the present management of this school
is not satisfied with the mental development of ifs students,
unless added to this, such instruction has been given along-industrial
lines, as will fit them to earn an independent living
for themselves and families. It is a matter of gratification to
the Board that so large a number of those trained here have
10 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
gone out into this, and other States, and have taken positions
side by side with their hearing brothers in the world's active
work. Some have gone to hearing schools, and have taken
up their work successfully side by side with those who hear.
In our report of two years ago we stated that although the
primary oral school building had been erected, we had no
money to equip and furnish it. In response to the request for
$4000, for this purpose, the Legislature of 1911 generously
supplied the necessary funds, and in September of that year,
we opened the doors of the building. Out of compliment to the
Superintendent of the school, E. McK. Goodwin, who has
given his energy and wisdom to the development of the North
Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb, the Directors at their
meeting in May, 1911, gave the name Goodwin Hall to this
new building. The great success which has attended the
work done in this building demonstrates the wisdom of its
erection.
In the report of two years ago our need for a gravity water
plant from South Mountains was emphasized, not only from
the standpoint of economy, but also for the protection of the
State's valuable investment here. To our request the State
generously responded. We own one of the most valuable
water sheds in South Mountains, and can deliver to our build-ings
daily, if needed, 300,000 gallons of water, through the
splendid conduits already laid and in use.
The North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb is in
great need ot an Infirmary, so that we may take proper care
of sick children, prevent the spread of contagions, and other-wise
care for the health of the school in accordance with
modern methods. With reference to this and other needs,
we respectfully call your attention to ths report and recom-mendations
of the Superintendent.
For the position which the North Carolina School for the
Deaf and Dumb has won for itself among schools of its class
in this country, the Board of Directors wish to make due
acknowledgment of their indebtedness to Superintendent E-McK.
Goodwin, whose enthusiasm and untireing devotion to
the Deaf has rendered our work possible. We wish to thank
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB 11
with him the wide-awake, faithful and efficient workers who
have aided him in solving in a practical way the difficult
problems incident to the development of this work.
In conclusion we wish to thank the Chief Executives of the
State for their courtesy, and the measure of confidence im-posed
in us; the legislatures for their contributions to the
needs of the school; and the public for its approval of the
efforts we have made to train the Deaf for useful citizenship.
Respectfully submitted,
Martin H. Holt,
President of Board of Directors,
December 3rd, 1912.
NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Honorable President and Members of the Board of
Directors of the North Carolina School for the Deaf
and Dumb.
Gentlemen:—In accordance with the requirements of
the law and following our custom, I have the honor to sub-mit
this the Eleventh Biennial Report of the North Carolina
School for the Deaf and Dumb.
In reviewing our records since this school first opened in
October 1894, I find that we have had 759 deaf children in
school, thus recording the significant fact that the school has
touched the life of nearly eight hundred homes scattered
throughout the State, and when we realize that this is the only
school for the white deaf in the state, we feel the responsibil-ity
the more keenly. Parents of hearing children have the
choice of many schools; the deaf have only one.
The policy and method of instruction in this school are the
same that were in vogue two years ago; indeed, practically the
same that were inaugurated when the school was established,
for at that time, we adopted progressive lines of work, and
have been endeavoring to reach the ideals set before us at the
time of our very creation. Our aim has been to keep abreast
of the best schools in the land, and we realize that to keep
pace with some schools it takes "eternal vigilance" and in-domitable
energy, and, indeed, material outlays, sometime be-yond
our ability
It is gratifying to the management to feel that the work ac-complished
by this school has been appreciated by the patrons
as evidenced by numerous testimonials and expressions of con-fidence
in our efforts in behalf of their deaf children. But testi-monials
and words of confidence are not the most satisfying
evidences of the teachers' work, but the living examples of
those whom he has taught, and withal the consciousness of
having been faithful to the trust reposed in him.
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB 13
This school has just reason to believe that the deaf of our
State are equal to those from any similar school in che land,
for of the nearly eight hundred, who have been under instruc-tion,
many are doing far better than their hearing brothers
and sisters, and the average of them are doing quite as well as
the other members of their repective families.
Staff of Teachers.
The one absolute essential to any school is capable teachers.
I would rather my child be under a good teacher with poor
equipment in buildings and appliances than to be in the most
elegant and elaborate buildings equipped with abundant mod-ern
appliances, with a poor teacher. If teachers are in-efficient,
the school cannot accomplish its work with the best
equipment and outlays.
It has always been our aim to secure the best talent avail-able,
with the means at our hand, and upon the whole, we
have bten fortunate for we have had many of as good teachers
as there are in the profession. But we have been confronted
with one drawback, which has been emphasized in other re-ports.
We have lost seme excellent teachers solely because
other schools were able to pay larger salaries, and I again
emphasize this point, that to secure and keep the best talent
in our corps, we must pay our lady teachers larger salaries
—
more nearly what other leading schools pay, and until we do
that, we may expect to lose much of our best talent from
time to time.
Some Changes.
Since our last biennial report, there have been a number of
changes. Among them Prof. T. V. Archer, who had been
our principal five years, rendering faithful and valuable ser-vice,
retired and became principal of the Oklahoma School
and during the session of 1911-1912, we had no principal of
the educational department, the Superintendent taking the
work in that department until a suitable principal could be
secured.
14 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
While the school did good work last session it necessarily suf-fered
for close supervision of the class work.
But at the end of last session, we were fortunate to secure
the services of Miss Fayetta Peck, who had taught in the
New York Institution, at Fanwood, and later at the Penn-sylvania
Oral School, Scranton, Pa. Miss Peck came to us
splendidly equipped both by training and experience. She
began her duties at the opening of the present session, and
without any delay organized classes and assumed the respon-sibility
of the Educational Department. Below we give Miss
Peck's report of the organization and work in her department.
MISS PECK'S REPORT.
To Mr. E. McK. Goodwin, Superintendent of the North Carolina
School for the Deaf.
Mv dear Sir:—The following report on school affairs for the months
of September, October and November is respectfully submitted for
your consideration.
During the three months above mentioned 170 pupils have been en-rolled
under the care of 17 teachers. Of the seventeen classes, eleven
are taught by the oral method and six by the manual method.
The regular class room studies are continued on much the same lines
as heretofore. There have been, of course, a few minor changes, due
to a careful study of methods, which shows wherein improvements may
be made. The course of stud}' has been arranged for the two depart-ments,
the same text books are used in each, and the work is correlated
as nearly as possible. In the oral department is it expected that the
results of the careful grading and training will be the persistent use of
speech and speech-reading. In the manual department the develop-ment
of language by means of finger spelling and writing is expected to
show satisfactory results. In the entire school there is an attempt to
arouse a genuine interest on the part of the pupils in the various kinds
of work presented to them, and to develop in each one a sense of per-sonal
responsibility for the best accomplishment of it From the zeal
and interest thus far manifested, we venture to hope that the year just
begun will be a successful one.
In all class rooms signs are replaced by language and a working
vocabulary is acquired as early as possible. Language forms are relied
upon for all purposes of thought expression. Daily periods have been
arranged for all classes during which conversation among the pupils
themselves is required. The teachers of oral classes rotate at certain
periods to other oral classes for the purpose of giving their pupils the
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB 15
greatest opportunity possible of gaining ease and efficiency in speech-reading.
We believe the deaf will speak better for being competent
speech readers.
Examinations are given to discover the accuracy and thoroughness
with which the teacher has performed her work and to determine how
nearly the pupil has approached the required standards of proficiency.
The future progress of a child is assured if the first steps have been ac-curately
and skillully taken; if, on the other hand, there has been blun-dering
at the impressionable age, the future development of the child
may be retarded, or even blighted. The position of a teacher of the
deaf is one of great responsibility and demands skill of a high order,
not only in the work of developing the child's mental powers, but in
the infinitely greater task of endeavoring to form his character.
We believe that hand work is educative and stimulating and that a
child will make better progress in his studies if his hand is trained as well
as his mind. There is an opportunity just now to see this theory demon-strated
in the primary handicraft classes conducted by Miss Militzer in
five of our lower grades Free-hand cutting, clay modeling and con-struction
work are laying the foundation for accuracy and judgment.
In addition to the classes already mentioned, two afternoon classes for
boys have been organized for more advanced manual training work.
The Teachers' Association has begun its work of the year and has held
two of its monthly meetings at which matters of educational interest
were discussed. The program for the winter includes the stud}' of an
authoritative work on child study . The oral teachers come together
once a week for the study of articulation, the newest method of teaching
speech reading, and a review of the Bell Visible Speech Symbols.
Two normal students have been admitted to the school- The course of
instruction for the normal training class includes the study of the an-atomy
of the vocal organs, the organs of respiration and hearing, me-chanism
of speech, elementary sounds, the Northampton Chart, Bell's
Visible Speech, history of the education of the deaf, and short courses
in both pedagogy and psychology. A thesis on sense training and one on
language are required during the year.
I find the school building modern, substantial and well planned.
The library seems well supplied with a variety of reading matter, the
text books are of the best, and the general school equipment seems
adequate for our present needs. All this tends to increase the interest
of the instructors and the efficiency of the school.
In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation of the co-operation
of the teachers who are associated with me, and of their enthusiastic and
efficient work, and with thanks for your ever ready assistance and advice,
Respectfully submitted,
Fayetta Peck,
Principal Educational Department.
16 north carolina school
Goodwin* Hall.
For years we have looked forward to the opening of a pri-mary
department, separate and distinct from the main school,
for two specific reasons, either of which was sufficient to
justify the outlay. First of all reasons, is that young child-ren,
eight to twelve years old, should not be constantly
thrown with children twelve to twenty years old. And, too,
the methods of instruction justified the complete segregation of
the young pupils from the older ones, that they might have a
better showing in their early training in speech and speech-reading,
thus forming the speech habit.
Four years ago we were fortunate to secure an appropriation
of $24,000 to bring our cherished hope into a vital realization,
thus affording better facilities in speech teaching, and indeed
the opportunity to acquire the speech habit.
This new primary building was opened in September, 1911,
with Miss E. T. Welsh in charge as supervising teacher, hav-ing
under her six teachers. Miss Welsh had previously
taught eleven years in this school and four years in the Rhode
Island School. She assumed this new relation with us with
splendid experience and she has done good work in the or-ganization
of the new department. While the department
is only a little more than a year old, it gives evidence of excel-lent
beginning and promises better results for the future
advancement of the deaf in North Carolina. I herewith ap-pend
her report.
MISS WELSH'S REPORT.
To Mr. E. McK. Goodwin, Superintendent North Carolina School for
the Deaf and Dumb.
My dear Sir: —In compliance with your request, I hereby submit
the following report of the work of the Primary Department from Sep-tember
11th, 1911, to November 30th, 1912.
The Primary Building, Goodwin Hall, was opened September 11th,
1911, with a corps of seven teachers, including myself, a housekeeper,
two supervisors, and an enrollment of fifty-one pupils. Six classes
were organized averaging over eight pupils each. Three of these
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB 17
classes were composed of beginners and the other three were pupils
who had been under instruction in the Oral Department of the main
building for at least a year.
In the primary department our policy is to use the oral method ex-clusively
as a means of instruction and to do all in our power to en-courage
the use of speech and speech-reading out of the school room;
that is, in the dining room,' in the play rooms, on the play ground and
in the dormitories, thus encouraging the speech habit in every day life.
Signs are strictly foi bidden.
The plan of segregating the primary pupils so that they have their
life in a building planned especially for them has already given us satis-factory
results and we hope and believe that in the future, results will
prove more and more satisfactory. The children seem happier, more
docile and in every w-u- easier to deal with, away from the older child-ren
and their influence. We have little or no trouble with discipline
and I attribute it largely to the environment.
It was deemed advisable tliat five of the pupils, who were admitted
to this department in September, 1911, be transferred to the manual
department and so this change was made at the beginning of the ses-sion
this year.
Our present enrollment numbers seventy-five pupils, thirty-one be-ginners
having been admitted this session, but two of these were in-eligible.
One we found to have practically normal hearing, though
mentally deficient, and the other was under school age.
Several changes took place in the corps of teachers at the end of the
school year in June. Miss Patterson resigned to accept a position in
Salem, Oregon, Miss Oursler to accept a position in her home school
at Council Bluffs, Iowa, Miss Haddock also to accept a position in her
home school at Providence, R. I., and Miss l/owery to take training in
Northampton, Mass. We have now seven classes under instruction
and a corps of seven teachers. We feel that we have been fortunate
in securing the services of young women well trained for this special
work. Misses Ervin, Benbow, Lewis and Sallee having received their
training at the Clarke School; Mrs. Watt at the Pennsylvania Oral
School, Miss Bock at the Milwaukee Day School, and Miss Frances
Carter, a teacher of experience, trained at the Clarke School.
Two classes in Primary Handicraft were organized lastyearand taught
by Miss Benbow. We have recently organized three classes in that line
of work, which are now under the instruction of Miss Sallee Too
great stress cannot be placed on this kind of work. It helps to establish
habits of neatness, self-reliance and accuracy and is being recognized
ever3-where as a great educational factor.
We are glad to be able to report that the work done by the specialist,
Dr. Briggs.of Asheville.in removing tonsils and adenoids of thirty-two of
18 . NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
our pupils, has enabled us to secure better results in speech teaching'
and has improved in a number of cases the general healtb of the pupils.
During the summer some original plans were carried out by the
installation of lavatories on the second and third floors, which greatly
facilitate the comfort End convenience of the household.
In conclusion let me express my appreciation of your support, and
through you thank the teachers and officers for the hearty co-operation
given in the organization ami work of the school.
Respectfully submitted,
Eugenia T. Welsh,
Supervising Teacher.

Indus-trial Training.
No school for the deaf can accomplish the best results for
the peculiar needs- of the deaf without successful tiaining in
handicraft. We have emphasized this phase of training for
the deaf. The deaf young man as well as his hearing hrother,
is poorly prepared to earn his way in life, if he has only a
primary education, and no trade, or training in some vocation.
It is a source of much gratification to the management of this
school to know that our students have gone out with suffi-cient
knowledge of work to be able to take positions in var-ious
lines of work* We have always insisted that we teach
boys, especially, to be industrious. Many of them do not fol-low
the trade taught, but the training they received while in
school stands in hand well as a foundation in some vocation.
Printing and Typesetting.
The printing department is a most valuable branch of
training for it has a twofold value. First, for the possibilities
it affords in a vocational line, and for its educational value in
general training. A number of our boys are making good in
the printing trade.
We publish the Deaf Carolinian, a bi-weekly paper, which
goes to all the schools for the deaf, and to many schools and
colleges of the State and is a medium of interest between the
school and the homes from which our children come.
for the deaf and dumb 19
Carpentry and Wood Work.
We teach practical carpentry and wood work, and the oc-cupation
is well adapted to the deaf. We do much of the
building, do the repairs of the school, and make some furni-ture.
A number of our former boys are doin^ well in the
trade.
Shoe Shop.
There will always be need in every community for the good,
honest shoo maker, and it pays the industrious workman good
wages, while there is little demand for hand made shoes
now, because of the perfection of modern machinery, and low
cost of production from the factories. Besides shoe materials
for hand made shoes are too high for profitable work.
Our Farm.
About eighty per cent, of our children come from the
country homes, and it has been our earnest desire that they
should go back to the country, for the farm is the best place
for the average deaf person. He lives more nearly on a level
with his hearing fellow on a farm than in any other vocation,
and he can reap fair returns for his labor. The industrious
farmer, whether deaf or hearing, can be quite independent
of his surroundings and does not come into such close com-petition
as the artisan or other wage earner.
We cultivate about 150 acres of land and produce good crops.
We raise an abundance of forage for both cows and horses
and have sold some hay from time to time. We have not
bought any dry feed for our stock in fifteen years. We raise
good crops of corn, and garden vegetables, and put up canned
goods for our own use. We have a splendid herd of milch
cows, which enables us to give our children fresh milk daily.
Our boys assist in farm work and observe preparation of soil,
cultivation and harvesting crops.
Girls' Industrial Department.
Every well organized home, where there are girls growing
20 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
into womanhood, trains them more or less in various domestic
lines of household work, and this school endeavors to instruct
in this important branch of education. Most of our girls
learn to sew quite well, many are able to make any garment
usually made in their homes. They are also taught cooking
and housekeeping. There is no phase of domestic work more
neglected in many homes than cooking. They are taught here
to cook the ordinary articles of food in the most wholesome
and economic manner.
We do not teach what is often called "culinary science and
kitchen chemistry ," but that branch of cooking which will
enable them to go to their home, or into other homes, and
cook such articles as it has in reasonable abundance, but too
often prepared and served in an unwholesome way. Every girl
should know how to cook, whether she will ever have to per-form
these duties or not.
Mork Trained Teachers Needed.
Not many years ago managing heads of schools usualty fill-ed
vacancies by selecting some friends or acquaintance of good
character, but laying little stress on training. But that cus-tom
is almost entirely a thing of the past. Now a superin-tendent
will go across the continent to secure a teacher of good
training, and it is an undisputed fact that schools for the
deaf throughout the country are doing better work today than
ever before. No department of education has made greater
advancement in methods of teaching and results obtained than
the leading schools for the deaf. I respectfully recommend
that we train a number of well educated young women of our
own State to take the positions in bur schoob as vacancies oc-cur.
Until this is done, we may expect to be a sort of "exper-ience
or training school" tor young ttachers of others States,
to give experience for schools where larger salaries are paid.
School for the Feeble-Minded.
We have advocated for twenty-five years the establishment
of a school for the feeble-minded children, both deaf and hear-
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB 21
ing. A school for the deaf is no place for the feeble-minded,
for the methods of instruction are difficult and entirely un-stated
to them. The creation and establishment of the North
Carolina School for the Feeble-Minded, at Kinston, marks an-other
step of ad vauceaient and emphasizes our State as a Christ-ian
Commonwealth. There are several hundred of this most
unfortunate class of our children in North Carolina.
It is to be regretted that the State did not provide such
school a generation ago. This new school will relieve our
school of the constant requestfor admission of a classof child-ren
not eligible under the law.
Our'NeEds.
Every school of the magnitude of ours needs a separate in-firmary
or hospital building to meet the ordinary demands in
case of contagion. We have known several schools, quite as
large as this school, to be closed on account of an epidemic of
some contagious disease, thus defeating the result of the very
creation and intent of the school, to say nothing of the safety
and protection of our children. To keep our appropriation
and means constantly available, we should have a separate
building so as to prevent an epidemic in case of contagious
diseases appearing. To erect and equip such building will
cost $10,000.
Our present boiler house and boilers have been serving us
for nineteen years without renovation, a reasonable life of
such equipment. We can renovate the boiler room and nec-essary
repairs for $5,000, and it cannot be done for less.
The outlay is absolutely necessary for common safety.
Our buildings have had very little repairs since we opened
in 1894. They need considerable repairs and especially paint-ing.
To do the necessary repairs, including painting, will
cost $3,000.
Our road way in our grounds become almost impassable in
winter. We need macadam roads through our grounds, and
if we had the necessary machinery, we could build these roads
at odd times, of stone from our own farm, and thus enhance
the value of our property and save the wear of live stock in
22 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
necessary hauling. This outlay of machinery can be install-ed
for $2,000.
We need a good team of mules, and wagon and harness,
and hacks, which will cost $1,000, and all of these estimates
are reasonable and the work cannot be done for less.
If we had a linotype machine, we might turn out good
operators, who could earn a good living. This typesetting
machine will cost $2,700.
Summary of our needs:—
Annual support $70,000.
Infirmary Building equipped $10,000.
Renovating Boiler House $5,000
Repairs, including painting $3,000
Linotype machine $2,700
Roadmaking and machinery $2,000
Team, vehicles and implements . . . $1,000
Our Gravity Water System.
Two years ago, an appropriation of $20,000 was made to se-cure
a gravity water supply, which has been installed, and the
question of our water has been solved for all time. We pur-chased
about 400 acres of land for a water shed, splendidly
protected, from which we ran a six inche pipe line five and
one-half miles, and can secure a supply of 350,000 gallons of
water daily, thus affording an abundance of pure wholesome
water. We can use our surplus water to good advantage.
Our Finances.
We have endeavored to live within our income, but at pres-ent
have to report a deficit, and we are glad it is no larger.
It has never been our boast to say how cheap we could run
our school, but how well with the means at our command.
With the constant advanced costs in all lines, we find it im-possible
to go up with no indebtedness. I refer to detailed
accounts of J. R. Clodfelter, Clerk and Steward, which are
here included.
Health of the School.
We have always had cause to be thankful for our splendid
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB 23
health record. In the fall of 1911, scarlet fever found its
way into our school, a little boy having it when he entered,
but by the most careful treatment and by the utmost precau-tion,
only four cases developed, and all of them recovered,
with no complications and no evil results following.
It was necessary to have Dr. Briggs, specialist, to make two
trips to our school, operating on thirty-four for adenoids and
removing tonsils, and treating eyes and fitting glasses on a
number of others. Dr. Briggs was very successful in his work
and we think all of these children were much benefitted, some
of them were almost transformed pl^sically. There are
other cases needing attention.
During session of 1911-1912, The State Board of Health
examined 226 children and found 113 of them, just 50%,
with hook worm. These were treated by Dr. Ross, our reg-ular
physician, and many of them greatlv benefitted. Below
i? found Dr. C. E Ross' report.
DR. ROSS' REPORT.
Mr. E. McK, Goodwin, Superintendent., North Carolina School
for the Deaf and Dumb.
Dear Sir:—
I desire to submit my biennial report concerning the health of the
school. The present session has been one of unusual good health, free
from epidemics or serious accidents, but I am sorry to report one death,
the only one in two years, however. The deceased was a little girl
aged 12 years; weak both physically and mentally. She died October
12th, 1912, from cardiac failure due to an attack of acute indigestion
of only a few hours duration.
During the session of 1911-12 four cases of scarlitina occurred in
Goodwin Hall within three or four weeks subsequent to opening of
school and all within three or four days. The cases were all isolated
and quarantined in the infirmary for girls. The uneasiness and worry
incident to such an arrangement makes all the more imperative the
need of a hospital building in connection with the school. The infection
was carried into the school by pupils coming from a section of country
where scarlet fever existed. Two cases of appendicitis occurred last
session, both of a fulminating type. One was sent to a sanatorium in
a nearby city at his parents' request, while the other case was removed
to Grace Hospital in Morganton where I operated on it. Both cases
eventually recovered. A few cases of pneumonia of average severity
24 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
occurred. There were no fatalities I am happy to state. Although an
epidemic of measles of an unusually malignant type raged all through
the western section of North Carolina during the winter of 1911-12,
your institution escaped, thanks to your vigilance and care. It also
escaped epidemics of mumps and whooping cough, although cases of
all three diseases appeared in families of employees on the school
grounds. I treated one fractured arm and one hand injured by a plan-ing
machine in the wood working shop.
The throats of a number of pupils required special attention and a
specialist from Asheville visited the school in February and April of
this year and removed tonsils and adenoids from about thirty-five young
pupils with marked benefit in nearly ever)- case. He also treated some
cises of eye troubles and fitted a few glasses.
One of the boys while working at a cut-off saw, was cut across base
of one finger. This constitutes the only accident of present term.
Two of the teachers have been critically ill, but have recovered and
are now doing good work. The first case was one of nephritis and it
was necessary to remove patient to hospital in Morganton. As it was.
a month or more elapsed before she was well.
As always happens just after the opening of school we had a few
cases of malaria, but they soon yielded to treatment.
The plumbing is in good condition and the general sanitation of the
institution is in good order, but I would suggest that the present radi-ators,
especially those in dormitories, be replaced with more modern and
sanitary ones. They were all right when installed twenty years ago and
are good heaters, but from their construction cannot be kept fr ee from
trash, dust and germs, an 1 I would suggest as soon as possible they be
replaced with ones more sanitary anl aseptic.
I wish to thank all who assisted me in caring for the health of the
pupils, officers and employes of of the school, and especially wish to
thank you for the consideration and attention shown me in all of my-duties.
Yours respectfullv.

Attending Phy sia'a n
.
Nov. 30, 1912.
During this biennial period Dr. Rankin, of the State Board
of Health, has visited our school twice, and it was gratifying
to the management to have words of approval from that
Board
.
The State Board of Charities have visited the school and
have made their report, which speaks for itself. These Boards
have been most cordial and helpful in suggestions and recom-mendations.

Acknowledgments
The railroads of the State have always been generous to
this school, and their officials courteous and thoughtful in the
transportation of our children. During all these years not
a. casualty has occurred on the railroads in handling perhaps
ten thousand passengers.
Dr. H. H. Briggs, of Asheville, has been generous in con-cessions
made to members of our school in treatment of the
eyes, ears, nose and throat.
We are indebted to many newspapers of the State for dona-tions
of their papers for the use of our pupils' reading rooms.
To the late William Wade, of Oakmont, Pennsylvania, we
shall always acknowledge in grateful remembrance for his
generous gifts and thoughtfulness of many of our pupils, who
called him "grandfather Wade." We never doubted that he
loved our school, and our school loved him. We shall miss
him.
The school and its management acknowledges with pride,
and gratitude to a most generous citizenship represented by
generous hearted Legislators in providing for our needs and
reasonable comforts
.
I am grateful to the Boat d of Directors of this school for
constant support and confidence in me and my efforts.
No Superintendent can make a success of a school without
the cordial support of his subordinate officers and corps of
teachers. We are indebted to the entire staff of officers, teach-ers
and employes for their part in our success.
Respectfully submitted

GENERAL INFORMATION.
The North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb is purely a school
for the education of the deaf, and not simply a custodial home, where
children are to be cared for a term of years. It covers the public school
course. It is not a hospital where children are treated for disease, with
the hope of recovering hearing.
The law fixes the age of attendance, from eight years to twenty-three
years, and applicants must be of sound mind and of good moral charac-ter
to be eligible. The school cannot admit and keep in school children
who are feeble-minded or idiotic. Our methods are not intended for such
cases, nor are we prepared to care for them If deaf children are physi-cally
strong and well developed they should enter school at eight years of
age. We can accomplish much more for them, and especially is it to
their advantage in speech, and ability to read speech, to enter at an
early age.
If parents are in indigent circumstances, and notable to pay traveling
expenses to and from the school, their respective counties will do it upon
certain affidavits being filled out and furnished to the Superintendent.
We want the name of every deaf child in North Carolina, not in
school, and the management most earnestly asks the aid of every good
citizen in the State in obtaining the same. Especially do we ask the
good offices of teachers, school trustees, physicians, and ministers of
the various denominations, to assist us and thereby help the deaf child-ren
to receive their rights by inheritance and the beneficence of a gen-erous
citizenship.
Address all official business matter of the school to
E. McK. Goodwin,
Superintendent.
