Tho foregoing remarks apply only to the
printing department of the work which comes
under the jurisdiction OF the supervisor Of pub
| lie printing. The department OF binding, with.
out doubt, is still better adapted to the capaci-
ty of the deaf and dumb and to the benefit Of
the pupils of the institution, than that Of print
ing. think itwopld be impossible to select
employment for the girls there, better adapted
to their capacities and wants than the folding,
stitching, collating, &C., connected with the
public binding. And in considering the wants
Of the institution, and seeking the best inter-
ests Of the State, they are q class, that should
by no means bo overlooked. From my knowl-
edge of the prices usually paid for the binding,
have no doubt that that department can be
carried on in connection with the deaf and
dumb asylum. with the promise of greater ad-
vantage to the State, than the department Of
printing. Respectfully subnitted,

Mr.. SCOTT OF Warren, opposed the idea ol

otherwise do.
