cost per pupil for the year 1897 allowing
s. pupils to have been present for the
whole 40 weeks Of the term, amounted to
$3lOSO.
The report Of June 10, 1879, claims that
the cost per pupil Tor the same year 1851
amounted to SET o., a difference Of $50 20
per pupil.
Butt difference, as we have seen, is
greater than this. For we know, in spite
Of the reicence Of the Board on this i'm.
portant point, that theaverage attendance
must have been less than So, and have
good reason to believe that It was not
more than 70. Possibly, il proper re-
cord had been kept, the average attend.
ance would be found to have been even
less. But suppOsing It to have been Is,
We find the cost per pupil as shown by the
report OF October II, 1878, was 1891 80,
which is SS4 9S more than the cost per
pupil as claimed by the report of June 10,
1870.
In either case, whether the average ut
tendance was the same as the highest
number present AZ any one time, or rath.
er the whole number present during the
wholeyear, (which We have shown to be i'm
possible, or 70, which is probable, we find
the actual cost per pupil at ROmney is
more than $500 per annum. Yet the
Board OF Regents at their recent meeting
passed resolution to receive pupils from
other States at $500 considerably less
than what they charge the State for its
own citizens.
In the report OF October 18th, 1878, the
principal says: Speaking Of the rcduc'
ton Of the number Of classes in the deaf
mute department from five to four "The
wisdom OF this action became apparent
soon in the more jealous and efficient
exertions Of tho teachers retained, and in
uniform and rapid advancement Of the
pupils, made under the new grading Of
classes"
In view VI this statement We were sur
prised to learn that in the year 1899,
with fewer pupils, the number Of classes
had been restored to five; and asked in
our tenth question why this change
had been made. To this question the
Board in the report Of June 10, 1879, sim.
ply reply, at was found necessary" This
We submit is no answer; and the Board
still rests under the imputaton ofemploy-
ing more teachers than experience had
shown them was either wise or necessary;
for II not 'ci~, as they themselves say, we
are at loss to imagine how it could be
necessary.
In reply to our twelfth question, we are
told by this report Of the Board that "the
cost per capita relatively is not greater at
Romney than either at Staunton or Ra-
leigh"
1t may not be relatively" greater,
whatever relatively" in that connection
may mean, but that it is really actually
and truly greater the reports OF these two
institutions now before us show beyond
room for doubt. And we speak by the
book when we say that if the board of
Regents had given more time and attcn-
ton to this investigation they would have
probably discovered that the education of
the deaf and dumb and the blind at the
institution under their care costs from fifty
to a hundred per cent more than at any
other institution in the United States,
excepting, perhaps, TINT in New York,
the report Of which is not now within our
reach.
