| REPORT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Munday, from the select joint COMMITTEES
appointed to proceed to Baton Rouge for the pur
pose OF investigating the affairs of the Deaf. Dumt
and Blind Asylum atthat place, and report to the
General Assembly as soon as practicable, submit
ted the following report:
the honorable the Senate and House Representatives
the State Of Louisiana in General Assembly convened
Inc undersigned committee, appointed under
JOINT resolution to visit and inquire into the
dition and management Of the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Asylum at Baton Rouge respectfully report
that they have performed the duty imposed, and
ascertained that the buildings and enclosures of
the institution are in much need of repairs, and
that there is deficiency of furniture and bedding.
About one half the building is used as United
States military hospital, and your committee deem
such an arrangement detrimental to the legitimate
operations of the asylum As however, the COM
handing officer at Baton Rouge stated that there was
ample room in the barracks for hospital purposes.
and that he was prepared to surrender the use of
the asylum whenever authorized by the
proper authority to do So it is probable that the
institution will be relieved Of this Inconvenience
at an early day. In connection with this matter
it would be unjust to omit mentioning that the |
s1ylum has for length of time received material
aid from the general government, in form of sum-
plies of food and other necessaries issued to ii from
the military stores in Baton Rouge.
y 0f the internal economy and management of The |
'sylum, as conducted by Mr.. Martin, principal
md Mrs. Dufrocq, matron, your committee feel
in speaking most favorably; but of the
uperVisory control exercised by the board of adj
illustrators they feel constrained to use language
