PRESIDENTS REPORT.
To His Excellency, DANIEL L. RUSSELL,
GoVKRNOK <>F NORTH CAROLINA :~
Tie Board of Directors of the North Carolina
School for the Deaf and Dumb have the honor to
submit this, their fifth biennial report:
During the past two years the work of the Insti-tution
has been in many respects more satisfactory
than ever before. Superintendent Goodwin and
his efficient corps of teachers, officers and employees
have so faithfully discharged their duties as to meet
with our cordial approval.
A visit to the school will satisfy any one that the
the work of instruction is being most wisely, faith-fully
and successfully carried on. The report of
the Superintendent will show those who have not
an opportunity of witnessing for themselves, what is
being accomplished.
Since our latest report, we have completed and
furnished the school building, erected cold storage
plant, and built three cottages: one for Supervisor
of farm, one for Engineer, and one for the Dairy-man.
The farm, under the efficient management of
Mr. Meacham. has been very much improved. We
have purchased an additional hundred acres of land
adjoining the premises for farming purposes. We
have established in addition to our other industrial
departments a cooking department in which we are
6 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
training about forty of the older girls in the art of
cooking. This is done under a thoroughly practi-cal,
trained, and experienced teacher.
THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL.
The State Board of Health, and Board of Public
Charities have recommended on two separate oc-casions
the erection of fire escapes. The Board re-cognizes
the great danger that the children and the
occupants of the building might be subjected to in
case of fire, and the possible loss of life, and appre-ciates
fully the recommendations of these Boards,
but have been unable to comply on account of lack
of funds. We respectfully ask that the General
Assembly appropriate a sufficient amount to erect
the fire escapes, increase our water supply, and
purchase and install a fire pump, and erect hy-drants
sufficient for the protection of the Institu-tion
in case of fire.
Since our former report to Your Excellency, one
of the most devoted and useful members of our
Board, Hon. R. A. Grier of Mecklenburg County,
has died. We shall greatly miss his wise counsel
and influence.
Respectfully submitted,
M. L. Reed,
President of the Board of Directors.

FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB. J
SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT.
HON. M. L. REED, President,
and Members of the Board of Directors
OF THE N. C. School FOR THE DEAF AND DlJMB.
Gentlemen:—I beg to submit this, my fourth
biennial report of the North Carolina School for the
Deaf and Dumb, for the two years ending Novem-ber
30th, 1900. Since my last report we have had
two hundred and ninety-two pupils in attendance—
an increase from one hundred and two children in
1894 to an attendance at present of two hundred
and twenty-nine, an increase, I believe, no similar
school can boast of in a like period. Although our
school has trebled itself almost, there are many
who are eligible, that have never been inside of a
school—worse, growing up in pitiable ignorance.
We have many applications on file from those to
whom we have offered admission from time to time.
If all had come we could not have admitted them. I
stated in my report two years ago, that we could
materially increase our number, with a less per
capita cost than at that time.
A SCHOOL NOT A CUSTODIAL HOME.
Ours is as much a school as any of the public
schools, or indeed, as the University: but many
think it is a sort of custodial home, where the chil-dren
are eared for a few years and then returned to
their parents with no material change in character
or condition. But if those who are thus deceived
will follow the children home, they will be con-vinced
that thev are mistaken.
<S NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
The majority of our children come in without
knowing their own names, or names of their par-ents—
indeed, not knowing their responsibility to
their Creator or their fellow-man. We refer you to
the parents for testimony as to the treatment and
improvement of their children while in our charge.
scope OF OUB COURSE OF STUDY,
The Statute fixes the course of study—that of the
public schools of the State. This course covers the
studies given by most schools for the deaf in the
various states. We have had three young men to
enter Gallandet College at Washington, I). C, and
their standing has compared favorably with that of
students from the best schools in America.
COMBINED SVSTE.U SCHOOL.
We recognize the best of any and all methods.
and belong to that class of schools known as "Com-bined
System Schools/" A large majority of all the
schools on this continent are of this type. If we
believe a child can acquire speech, and the ability
to read speech, we put him in the < )ral Department,
and if after a fair test he shows no ability in that
direction, he is put in the Manual Department,
where he is taught exactly the same course of study,
but no further attempts at speech are made.
ORAL DEPARTMENT.
If a child can acquire speech and speech-reading,
he should, by all means, be taught orally, but on
the contrary, if he shows no ability in that direction,
he should be taught in the Manual Department.
It is generally conceded by conservative teachers,
that not all the deaf can be taught to an advantage
FOR THE DEAF AXl) DUMB, i)
by the oral method. Hence the necessity of the
two departments. I refer yon to the special report
of Mrs. Anna C. Hnrd, Chief Instructor of the Oral
Department.
SPECIAL REPORT OF MPS. AMA C. HERD.
To E. McK. Goodwin,
S/t/'f. North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb.
Dear Sir :—'Since my last report to you given December ist., 1S9S there
have been forty pupil* admitted to the Oral Department making the whole
number under instruction from December 1st. 1898 to December 1st. 1900,
one hundred and nine.
Of this number we have lost one by death., one has left school, four have
been detained at home this year, two remained away last year but return-ed
this fall, five have been sent home—two owing to incapacity and three
owing to ill health, and seven have been transferred to the Manual De
partment owing to physical conditions which interferred with their acqui-sition
of speech.
At the present date we have ninety pupils in the department. Of these
thirtj'-eight are totally and congenitally deaf; thirteen show a very slight
perception of sound; six can distinguish a few familiar words; nineteen
are semt-deaf either congenitally so or from illness; six are totally deaf
but have once had hearing; eight are only slightly deaf, but so much so
as to unfit them for receiving an education in public schools for the hear-ing.
From this it is evident that we have a variety of cases to deal with and
care and judgment must be exercised in classifying and grading these
pupils as well as in the adaptation of methods in their instruction.
As far as possible the semi-deaf and semi-mute are graded in classes bv
themselves and the totally deaf and those having only a slight degree of
hearing in classes by themselves.
We have at the present time nine classes of ten pupils each, verv well
graded. Six of these classes contain all of the congenitallv deaf and
those having a very little hearing, and three of the classes contain nearlv
all of the semi-deaf and semi- mute.
Each class represents a distinct grade and systematic work following a
general outline or course of study is pursued so that at the completion of
one year's work the class may pass without break or interruption into
that of the next.
Speech, speech-reading and writing are the only mediums of commnni
cation employed in the class rooms.
When it is remembered that we are obliged to begin with the greater
number of our pupds at the very beginning of speech and language and
are obliged to develop both without the aid of that "organ of instruction
IO NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
and intelligence"—the ear, before the education ol the child may be be-gun,
it is only just and reasonable that our pupils should be allowed a long-er
period lor their school life than is accorded them. Ten years at least,
twelve years would be better and must be granted before we can hope to
send out graduates who will compare with those from the best oral schools
where that length of ti'"e is the school period.
The poMcv of receiving all entering pupils into the Oral Department
and retaining all such as give reasonable evidence of being able to acquire
speech has been continued and the wisdom of this plan has be?n proven.
Of the one hundred and thirty new pupils that have been admitted to
the Institution during the past four years, seventy-three have been placed
under oral instruction and it has since been found necessary to transfer
but six of these to the Manual Department—each case owing to physical
conditions.
Fifty-seven of the pupils entering have not been placed under oral in-struction
for the following reasons: twenty-two of the number were, in
our opinion, too old to begin speech work with any hope of success; five
suffered from a physical infirmity that interfered with the acquisition of
speech; one was generally incapable, mentally and physically; five came
in too late in the year to begin work in the oral classes; twenty-four show-ed
little or no aptitude for acquiring speech and speech-reading and it was
judged that they would not progress rapidly enough to warrant their
education being conducted by this method. From the fact that you are
gathering into the Institution more of the deaf pupils of the state before
they reach the age of twelve years we may hope to increase the percent-age
admitted to the Oral Department from year to year.
The speech and speech-reading of the pupils are becoming more and
more satisfactory—the pupils are more ready with their speech and are
generally well understood—by visitors to the school as well as those more
closely associated with them.
Perfectly natural voices and perfect speech we do not claim nor expect
to give deaf children, but voices that are not disagreeable and speech that
the listener by giving close attention ma)' understand, is what we accom-plish.
Daily intercourse with hearing people who sympathize with and take
an interest in this work would be of the greatest value to our pupils tiiat
they might have more practice in using jpeech at all times. As an in-centive
in this direction I organized two years ago a series of conversa-tion
parties—when the oral pupils should meet with all the teachers ami
officers who wished to be present for social conversation. Considerable
success attended this effort.
It is with pleasure that I am able to report to you a decided increase in
the ability of our pupils to read with understanding and interest. This
is due, I believe, to the careful attention paid to this subject in every
class-room and to the library suitable to each grade that you have provid-ed.
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB. I I
There can be no doubt that the intelligent reading ol good literature
broadens and cultivates the minds of our pupils and extends their use of
good English.
Up to this time the Oral Department has been composed mostly of
young children, who were occupied chiefly in learning speech and lan-guage
but we have been steadily growing and at this time I am able to re-port
very satisfactory work in Arithmetic, Geography, United States
History and Literature, from three classes.
One of these classes is composed of totally deaf pupils —with one excep-tion,
averaging fourteen years of age and under instruction five years.
During the past two years we have been called upon to part for a time
with two of our most efficient teachers, owing to ill health, Miss Welsh
having been granted leave of absence in '98 and Miss Re:d in '99. I am
glad to say that both have recovered and are with us again.
During a portion of last year Miss Carrie Nimocks, a young lady from
the Normal School at Greensboro was with us as a student teacher and
this vear Miss Elizabeth Avery, of Morganton, is with us in the same
capacity.
During the summer of '98 Miss Stinson resigned to accept a position
in the Washington State School and Miss Clark of Ohio was appointed to
rill the vacancy. Miss Nettie McDaniel came to us from the Alabama
School to take the place of Miss Welsh then absent.
In March '99 Miss Clark resigned on account of poor health and at the
close of the session Miss Young and Miss Simms resigned, each to be at
her home for a time.
To till the vacancies thus caused Miss King, Miss Bell and Miss Kin
naird were appointed, while the advanced oral class was placed in the
hands of Mr. Hurd, who was trained for oral work in the Philadelphia
School and who taught orally before coming to North Carolina.
Miss King comes to us with four years' experience in teaching after
having been trained at Northampton, and Miss Bell and Miss Kinnaird
each had spent some time in preparing for this work, the former at Gal-laudet
College and the latter in Philadelphia.
I wish to take this opportunity to commend the earnest and faithful
work of the teachers with me in the department, who have aided me in
bringing the work up to its present standard and to thank yon for your
advice and most cordial support and assistance at all times.
Respectfully yours,
Anna C. Hlrd,
Chief Instructor of the Oral Department:
Morganton, N. C, December \-\, iqoo.
MANUAL DEPARTMENT.
The studies given in the Manual or Sign Depart-ment,
except the development of speech and speech-
12 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
reading, are the same as given in the Oral Depart-ment.
"The sign language" is a means and not an
end. It aids only in the teaching of written Eng-lish
and for chapel exercises, and after the pupil
has learned written language he has no use for the
sign language.
DEPARTMENT OF AKT AND EKEE HAND DRAWING.
The object of this department is to train the deaf
rather than to turn out artists. We teach every
child in school free hand drawing and those who
show superior talent in this class of work, are given
time in the studio, where they have an opportunity
to study both drawing and painting. Our Art De-partment
speaks for itself. The work done by our
pupils took the first premium at the State Fair, last
October. Special report of Mrs. (). A. Betts is at-tached.
SPECIAL REPORT OF MRS. <>. A. BETTS.
Mr. E. McK. Goodwin,
Supt. iV". C. School for the Deaf and Dumb.
Dear Sir :—Since our last report we have occupied the Studio in the
new building. This room, which is well lighted by ~ix double windows
and a sky-light is well adapted for the purpose.
The special class in the studio now numbers twenty pupils, divided in-to
two classes oi ten each, alternating weekly for a daily period of one
and a half hours in the afternoon. This class is taught in oil, water
colors, crayon, and sketching from nature.
The period from 9:30 A. M. to 1:30 P. M. is devoted to free hand
drawing in the class rooms. At present there are one hundred and
eighty-two pupils in this department, which includes all the classes ex-cept
the three most advanced.
The pupils are all very enthusiastic and their work has been very en-couraging.
Very Respectfully,
Mrs. O. A. Betts.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
There is no other class of schools in which indus-trial
training should have more attention than in
schools for the deaf. It is not only training to a
certain end, but it is educative, and awakens inter-est,
frequently, when the school room fails. Our
boys are trained to go out and earn an honorable
living. The boys are taught in practical wood-working
and carpentry, shoe-making, printing,
farming, and gardening. Our aim in these depart-ments
is to give practical training rather than to
give the mere theory. We do not claim to turn out
leaders, who may go out and become large contrac-tors
and manufacturers, though the training may
result in that, but we do claim that our boys may
go out and earn a living by the side of their more
fortunate hearing brothers.
PRINTING AND TYPESETTING.
The art of printing to-day is not considered a very
lucrative one, since the typesetting machine has
come into general use. But the training it gives to
the boys in the study of language is valuable, for it
brings them face to face with the language con-struction.
We do all the printing for our school and print
the Kelly Messenger, a weekly paper issued in the
interest of the school.
WOOD-WORKING DEPARTMENT.
This trade is a popular one with the deaf and
thoroughly practical for their class. It has aided ma-terially
in the building and improvements of this
f4 WORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
school. Our machinery is modern and of the besf
type. In addition to the work done for our own
school, we have done considerable for others, and
especially lor saw-mill owners^ thus paying for a
large part of our lumber by machine work, in this
department. We have done considerable hardwood
work: a number of pieces of furniture have been
made for some of the State Departments. During
this biennial period we have built three cottages on
the premises, and for a proper consideration, a neat
and comfortable residence for one of our teachers.
Some of the pupils of this department are well
prepared to go out as journeymen and compete with
hearing people.
sn« >K.M AKIN'o DEPARTMENT.
In training' the deaf in industrial work we should
look to the future, as to the possibility of earning a
livelihood in the pursuit of the trade learned. Shoe-making
is not very lucrative, but an industry in
which a competent workman can find employment
in every community, and it may be done without
going a great distance from home to find this work.
We do a large part of the work for the school,
thus making the department about self-supporting
from a financial standpoint,
FARM AND GARDEN.
About three fourths of our children come from
the farm, and consequently should be trained in that
branch of industry. We teach them by conducting'
a well regulated farm, and requiring a certain num-ber
of boys to work at whatever is to be done, whe-ther
it be planting, cultivating, or harvesting. They
FOR THE DEAF AND DlMTi, 1^
have an opportunity to see a larger variety of crops
than on an ordinary farm, thus observing varieties
and tests.
We produce a large part of our edibles," and are
thus enabled to give better and more wholesome
fare than could be done from the average market
We put up an abundant supply of canned goods-—to-matoes,
berries and beans.
During the past year we have raised more than
twelve hundred bushels of sweet potatoes, eight
hundred bushels of Irish potatoes, seventy-five
tons of hay and rough feed, and about four
hundred bushels of corn. We have put up fifty tons
of ensilage.
In the garden we raised an abundant supply of
strawberries, and vegetables in season. Our farm
is improving from year to year, and we have just
opened forty acres of fresh land. With this addi-tional
land, we will be enabled to produce abundant
supplies of feed for stock—horses, cattle, and hogs.
INDUSTRIES FOR GIRLS.
We are more limited in our surroundings for the
proper training of the girls in an industrial way,
than we are for the boys. We train the girls in
household work, such as taking care of living rooms
and the dining room, washing dishes, setting tables.
and serving at thetable. This is all done under
eye of an officer or teachee.
SEWING AND DRESSMAKING.
We hold that every girl should learn to sew—to
make any dress or garment she may wear, and es-
\6 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
pecially so with almost every g'irl in our school.
This work is done under the direction of a compe-tent
instructor.
TRAINING IX PRACTICAL COOKING,
At the opening of this session we opened a cook-ing
department in which our girls could be taught
the practical and valuable art of cooking. There
are few competent teachers to he had for this
branch. Our girls in classes of six cook part of two
meals each day, the food going to the teachers1 and
officers' and pupils' dining rooms, thus making the
work practical and helpful. This department is
under a competent and conscientious teacher. We
believe the department is thoroughly practical.
OtJR CORPS OF TE ACH KKS
.
We beg to repeat what we said two years ago
:
"We have proclaimed that the sole object of this
school is to educate, and not simply to take care of
the children for a period. Therefore, it is exceed-ingly
important to have a thoroughly competent
corps of teachers. Teaching the deaf is a specialty,
and training young teachers is too often done at the
expense of the children taught. Teachers of the
deaf must have the educational qualification that
all successful teachers need, besides the knowledge
of the peculiar work, and withal, he should know
the peculiar characteristics of the deaf. This last
qualification takes patient study and years of ex-perience.
It is difficult for those not acquainted with the
peculiar process of teaching the deaf, to appreciate
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB. 1
7
the large corps of teachers needed for, the number
of children taught.
"
SCHOOL BUILDING.
In September 1899 we finished and occupied our
new school building, which is both commodious and
convenient. It has twenty regular school rooms and
a large exercise hall, and an art studio. It is well
heated with steam and equipped with modern plum-bing
apparatus.
HEALTH OF THE SCHOOL.
In comparing our health record with that of simi-lar
schools in other states, or indeed, other institu-tions
in our own state, we deem ourselves extremely
fortunate. Our climate and the location, so far as
healthfulness is concerned, is ideal.
I beg to include herewith the report of Dr. Geo.
H. Moran, our attending physician.
REPORT OF THE PHYSICIAN.
Morganton, N. C, December 13, 1900.
E. McK. Goodwin, Esq.,
Supt. N. C. School for the Deaf and Dumb,
Sir:—I have the honor to say that since my last report, dated Novem-ber
23rd. '98, the health of the school under your charge, has been re-markably
good. We have had the usual colds and attacks of indiges-tion,
which occur among children, and but eleven serious cases of illness.
Three of them were typhoid fever, three cases of acute and severe bron-chitis,
three of grippe, and three of pneumonia. All but one resulted in
recovery. The boy who died from typhoid fever came from an infect-ed
home, and was unwell on his arrival.
There has been one fracture of fore-arm, one bad laceration of hand from
use of forbidden fire-works, and two burns, all resulting well. During the
prevalence of small-pox last May, it was thought advisable to re-vaccinate
all who did not show first rate scars from previous vaccination, and all em-ployees
on premises were vaccinated. By this means and by observing
strict quarantine against infected sections, we escaped invasion by this
1

much dreaded disease. I have visited the school two hundred and forty-liiree
times, have from time to time inspected the buildings, and have in-cariably
found them in f*ood sanitarv condition.
With renewed expression of my appreciation of rour cordial help in
•ill mv efforts to preserve t'v health of rite school, and to restore its sick,
I am,
V'erv respectfully yours,
Geo." H. Moran,
Pftvsician to School.
SCHOOL F<>H THE FEEBLE MINDED NEEDED.
Nothing is a better index to a Christian Common-wealth,
than to see the unfortunate within her bounds
provided for, and their sufferings ameliorated as far
as possible. North Carolina has provided for all
classes of her afflicted ones, except the feeble mind-ed
and idiotic. We receive applications often for
this class into our school and indeed not less than a
m ore have been sent to us thinking the trouble was
deafness rather than imbecility. Many of the chil-dren
could be treated and their conditions much im-proved,
and some of them could be trained and to
some extent educated, under suitable surroundings.
1 respectfully recommend that your Honorable
Hoard lay the needs of this class of the afflicted of the
state, before the Governor, and urge the General As-sembly
to create and establish an institution of this
class.
OUR NEEDS.
Our most pressing need at present is protection
against destruction by fire. Every owner of valu-able
property should exercise good business judg-ment
in the proper proctection of same, and upon
this principle we earnestly recommend the installa-tion
of a better water system. In case of fire this
FOR THF DEAF AND DUMB. l 9
property would be at the mercy of the flames. At
present we carry only seventeen thousand gallons of
water. The question oi' water supply has been be-fore
you for the past four years. We ought to ha ve
a cistern to hold a quarter of a million gallons of
water, fire pumps, and hydrant attachments to use
in the emergency of fire. We have always exercis-ed
every precaution against fire, but experience has
taught the world that fire may occur when and
where it is least expected. The State Board of Public
Charities and the State Board of Health have recom-mended
and urged the erection of fire escapes for
the protection of life, and I most earnestly recom-mend
that you urge sufficient special appropriation
for this purpose. Under the advice of competent
experts, it will require seven thousand dollars ($7-
000.00) to complete the work. I recommend the
erection of a small brick addition at the extreme end
of each wing, through which there may be an exit in
emergencies. This small addition will give us room
for fifty more children, which addition will be need-ed
in a few years, and in my opinion, this is the
most economic way of providing for same. If there
be the loss of one life even, through failure to have
proper escapes or exits, the responsibility will fall
on lis.
OUR FINANCES.
While our appropriations have never been more
liberial than the cause justly deserves, I have always
felt that the state has done as well by us as the con-ditions
of the treasury and the tax-payer would j usti-fy,
and parents and friends of the afflicted children
are grateful to benevolent Legislators and a gener-
20 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
ous citizenship for the provisions they have made.
I refer yon to the books and report of Geo. L. Phifer,
Steward, which show that we have lived within our
appropriation, though it requires constant watchful-ness
on the part of the management to meet the
demands and at the same time not report indebted-ness.

FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB. 23
Since our last report we have lost by death two
who were very dear to this school and its interest.
In November, 1899, Mr. R. A. Crier of Mecklenburg
County died after a long and painful illness. He
had been a member of our Board from the founding
of the school.
In April 1900, we were again called upon to part
with another friend, Mr. Z. W. Haynes, who had
taught the deaf for thirty-two years continuously.
The school had no better friends than those remov-ed
from our midst.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
I beg to acknowledge in the name of the school,
courteous attention extended by all railroads in the
transportation of our children, at a greatly reduced
rate, thus enabling some to come to school that would
have otherwise been unable to attend. This cour-tesy
has been extended to the teachers and officers of
the school traveling in charge of the children.
We are indebted to various newspapers of the
state for the donations of papers to our reading
rooms, and we gratefully acknowledge the donations
of various institution papers for the deaf.
The Volta Bureau of Washington, D. C. , has sent us
from time to time valuable pamphlets and profes-sional
literature.
We appreciate the kindly interest manifested in us
by the State Council of the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics, upon the presentation af a
handsome flag and Bible, June 5th, 1900. Upon
this occassion Rev. C. A. G-. Thomas, of Thomasville,
presented the flag in a most pleasing and patriotic
24 NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
speech, and Mr. Z. P. Smith of Raleigh, presented
the Bible, in a beautiful and appropriate manner.
This emblem of patriotism and the Book of Divine
Inspiration, were received in behalf of the school by
Prof. M. H. Holt of the Board, in a most happy and
appropriate address.
Before closing I beg to express my sincere grati-tude
to the Board, individually and collectively, for
their cordial support of me as Superintendent, and
the care and earnest attention given to the school
and its welfare, ever showing their first care to be
the advancement and betterment of the deaf, them-selves.
I would not fail to be mindful of the assistance
rendered and the faithful duty performed by officers
and teachers, and employees; and even the pupils
join to make our efforts effective and the work for
which the school was created a success.
Respectfully submitted.
E. McK. Goodwin,
Superintendent North Carolina School for
the Deaf and Dumb.
December 13, 1900.
