To the Police Jries, the Municipal Aafhorities
and Friends the Deaf and Dumb IN Loaisi-
ana:
The Trustees Of the La. Institution for
the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, call
your attention to this unfortunate class,
and the provision made for them by the
State in this Institution. All the Deaf be-
tween the ages of eight and twenty-five, OF
sound physical and mental constitutions,
will be admitted and provided with in
struction, board, lodging, medicine and
medical attendance at the expense of the
circumstances as shall appear by o certifi-
cate of any member of the police jury of
the parish, or mayor of the city, where they
reside, to render such aid necessary, will
also be furnished with clothing and travel
ing expenses to the Institution. The In
stitution also affords q mechanical depart
meut in which instruction is given in such
trades as may be best suited to render the
pupils self-sustaining citizens. The educa-
ton of the deafis Of peculiar importance to
them and to the State; bat from want OF
information, indulgence or other reasons on
the part of parents, less Than half in the
State avail themselves of the privileges
Afforded. This is all wrong; hence the
Trustees earnestly call the attention of all
proper authorities to the duty of seeing
that all the deaf in their respective parishes
or cities, are informed of the privileges pro-
vided, and that in cases of INDECENT circum.
stances, means be provided for conveying
snch to this Institution. Proper provision
| will be made for both white and colored.
In case of any deaf known at this Insti
tuition to be in your city OF parish, the
names are appended to this letter. Should
you know or learn of others, their address
is earnestly desired.
