sdiThe Institution was founded by the
State, inthe year'ls34. and was intended
al first, TO accommodate from 80 10 100
pupils. .rAt ihattime, the number Of mates
asking for admission inio such an Instiu-
tior,idid not exceed, perhaps, 40. Ten
years subsequent 10 thattime, lit was found
Iha' The Institution was wholly made
quaie TO furnish accommodations for the
increased number of mates. who were lre.
Equenly importuniug the Trustees for ad-
mission. A.r I,uloo % et.m l. %.
,ln the year 1914, a large and handsome
addition was made 10 the building, by a
legislative Appropriation for that purpose.
II was fund.-, however, in short time,
h,hat it was unable 10 contain the greal
nuSZber who made application fur the
{, benefit Of the institution. Alarge number

sleeping apartments thereby ehdangerine

Al the time the Institution was founded
'iihei populalion sof.this State was abon
\ $4,000 now it falls a little short o
100000. Among the present population
of the Stale, il is said there are near 95C
deal and dumb persons; lwo.ihitds cl
i whom, perhaps, would like admission into
1 The Institution al this time. In conse.
quence of This vast increase of deaf and
dumb persons, ii is found that the presen
building is entirely inadequate 10 accom-
i modate mach more than one,fhh of lht
applicants. The present number Of schol
l ars ranges near 400, and 10 accommodate,
). that number and give the proper inslruc
TONS, il is found thai the building is lilet
toOeefflowihg. The building though KEEP
n as neat as pin within, is considerably ou
i of repair and il would seem that the OLE
walls shouM soon give wayto new an,
lsmore commodous ones. .'e'a.'.fd .
1.-The present report Of the Trustee
elshows and urges the Proptiely of'sool
: i. building larger one, on Vhe present sigh
:, or at some other suitable lacaton near III
city. II would seem important that
i should be placed near the city, becaus
Il The associations Of The city, aud the busll
and business surrounding it, would have
= tendency TO render the inmates Cheerful
and drive away all dull mo6otony.
dl seems by reference olhe annual reports @
~ the Institution, that the proposition TO bull
new and larger Asylum, has been enter
q ftained for The last three years by the Leg
Y slature, and was only defeated last winte
n because of want Of plan or speciica
- tions. The specifications are now full
