NEW York DEAR AND DUMB INSTITUTION We
had the pleasure ofexamning copy Of the twenty
seventh annual report OF the New York Institution
for the instruction Of the Deaf and Dumb presented
to us by Harvey P. Peel, Esq, President of the in
stitulion.
AT the close Of the year 1874, it is stated that
there were one hundred and sixty-eight pupils acta-
ally under instruction, besides seventeen former pu.
pills employed in various situations in the family.
The present number is two hundred, which is a
large increase the number Of any previous year.
and, with the single exception OF the Institution OF
London, much larger number of deaf mutes than
has ever been collected together in one school, Oh
these there supported by the State of New York,
hundred and sixty by the State Of New Jersey,
three by the Corporation Of New York, thirteen ;
by their friends, fourteen; and by the institution,
ten.
The total receipts Of the ms tituton, during the
year l845, are said to have amounted to $40 427 70
including balance Of 81 932 70 left from the
preceding year and the disbursements have been
$39 55l Al, leaving in the Treasurers hands, at the
beginning of this year, balance Of SS76 g. The
health OF the pupils has generally been very good,
only one case Of illness having terminated fatally in
the course Of the past year.
AS to the value of the education afforded by this
institution it is, indeed, truly wonderful what an
amount Of information is instiled into the minds Of
the poor deaf mutes. Even mental philosophy, as =.
tronomy and physiology are taught them IN great
perfection. Every exerton is made to teach art-
cula,ion to the aptest scholars. Nearly all of them
have been enabled to write, and many interesting ex-
ampes of their facility this way are appended to
the report under notice, as also is the manual alpha
bet which they use.
We earnestly recommend this report to public at.
ention that of institution which does creditto
our State, and nestimabe benefit to the deaf mutes
whose unhappy misfortune has placed them under
its care. All such institutions are an honor to our
common humanity, and the best results OF modern
philanthropy and civilization.
