Tennessee school for the Blind.

The official report of L. n. Sturtevant,
Superintendent of the Tennessee School for
the Blind, soon to be submitted to the Cen
eral Assembly, will embrace interesting ref
erence to the present and previous condi-
ton of the institution, showing the progress
being made in the educational and industri-
al departments, the manner of instruction
and the mode of work pursued, facts es-
tablishing the importance of education and
mechanical training to this peculiarly I'M
fortunate class of the States people, and
statistics touching their number, situation,
etc. There are at present about 40 pupils
in the institution, who are, with two or
three exceptions, in good health, and all
seemingly happy and contented in their
present situation, evincing more interest in
learning and more industry in working than
are common even among children blessed
with the organ of sight. In music they
show wonderful proficiency, fact most
pleasingly realized by visitors to the institu-
ton. The excellent discipline and thor
oughly good management of the school for
the Blind are facts highly creditable to the
Superintendent and his amiable and accom-
plished wife, who have through the adverse
circumstances visited upon the institution
during the war, the destruction of its build
ing, removal of its apparatus, furniture, etc,
and the difficulty experienced in its re-es-
tablishment, show commendable trust
worthiness to the sacred trust confided in
them by the State. The building at pres
ent occupied by the institution at the corner
of Cedar and Summer streets, while suf-
ficiently commodious, is in many other re-
spects but poorly adapted for use as a
school for the blind. 1t was, however, the
best that could be obtained for temporary
occupation by the school. 1t is hoped by
all who feel proper degree of interest in
and sympathy for the blind children of
Tennessee that some house more suitable
for the occupation and use of such an in
stitution will at no very distant day be pro-
vided for the Tennessee School for the
Rlind
