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. November 30th, 1912. 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. C. E. Ross, M. D., 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. for the deaf and dumb 25 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 Z^O-V-^C^O^ri^^s Superintendent. 26 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL STEWARD'S REPORT. Prof. M. H. Hoi/rr President, and Members of the Board ofDirectors of y. C.

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. FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB LIST OF PUPILS BOYS Name Parent or Guardian Post- office County Abee, Lloyd W. A.

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. November 30th, 1912. 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. C. E. Ross, M. D., 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. for the deaf and dumb 25 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.

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. FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB LIST OF PUPILS BOYS Name Parent or Guardian Post- office County Abee, Lloyd W. A.
