some Of the statements made through the
columns Of tie Courier, relating to the
number Of that class OF scholars in thi.
State. compared with the other New Eng
land State. Since that time wo have been
furnished with statistics, by lion. George
Pierce. late Member Of the Executive Coun-
ell. which show TIA, the article was faulty
in other particulars. The statement is
there made that Maine pave annually ST.
GOO. as tuition for blind scholars.
All the blind pupils, whose tuition is
paid by the State. are at the Perkins lnsii.
tuition, in Boston. There.were admitted at
that Institution. from Maine, in 1854, 4

Of the number. have gone. The whole sI.

each Per year, 50 that the average cost for
this elias. Of pupil., from 1854 to Scp,em-
her. 1859, has been but SlO96. The ap.
Tropriation for this purpose is a general
oLe. for the Deaf. Dumb aud Blind. II
has been $4,000. annually, up to 1859,

yet the appropriation is no, exhausted, by
some $500.
! II good institution can bo established
within this State. it might be advantageous
to the State to send its charity scholars ,C
it for instruction. But we think care
should be taken not to impair its prospects
by too highly eolored statements.
