BLIND asylum.
Your committee have also visited the
ASYLUM for the education of the Blind and
will say that the pupils, when we consider
they have lost the most useful OF all the
five senses. have made good degree OF
progress in the studies taught. Ihe com
mittee would es peciaily commend the Efforts
made in the direction of educating the pupils
i'm some useful trade, so that these untortu-
mates NAV be able to support themselves IN
aft sr lite. The progress made by the pupils
in this direction were highly gratifying.
So. also, i'm efficiency in the usual studies
taught including vocal anu instrumental
music.
| Your committee would say, that in their
opinion, some repairs are.necessary TO the
building, but to what extent or what nature,
they leave TO the Committee on Public

Institutions, the committee recommend, for
tue Deaf and Dumb, $4,000; for the Blind,
$4,000, for the yea 1889 inclusive.

chases for these two Institutions at the
