in the Messenger article Of January 2, reply
ing TO your comments on the letter Of
Prof Dobyns can be 40 construed, re-
greet IL. The sole object OF the ,HosscHgcr
editorial TO which you refer In TITS AP-
rEAL Of the 10Th, was TO show that "thc
lamcntablo condition into which the pupils
Of the Deaf and Dumb Institute had fallen, -
was attributable TO oXtmyaglncc on the
part Of the authorities In charge, aud not
10 the parsimoniousness Of the Legislature,
~ the gentleman from whom you received
your information would have the public 10
believe. My failure 10 do this (which was

thority Of the superintendent OF our Deaf
and Dumb Institute.
The report Of Prof. DCbyns, made Janu.
AIRY I. 1886. shows 40 pupils under hrs
charge for the preceding year. The ex-
penditurcs for wages, salaries and supplies

age Of sliS per pupil for nine calendar
months.
The Governor In hs message 10 tho
Legislature Of 1886, rc'ctring 10 this insti-
tuition, said:
"The charitable institutions OF the State
have received, and will no doubt continue
to receive the willing support OF the poo.
Pile. But the people have right TO dc.
man1, and they do demand the most rigid
economy, consistent With their efficient
administration. Impressed with this fact,
| have thoroughly investigated the Affairs
Of this Institute, and am now prepared 10
say, after free Interchange ol views with
the Board OF Trustees, that II can DO
conducted for tho mkt two years for
$4,000 per annum. or $500 less Than
VIA appropriated for the past two years.
This reduction may appear large, but hav'
ing the cordial sympathy and cooperation
Of the yigiant Superintendent, am conf
dent that the Board Of Trustees will, by
| careful management, mako this sum sui
| flee. They are nj least willing 10 undertake
/ II, In the interest Of the taxpayers OF the
State, and they will Gnd q way TO make
the undertaking success"
In compliance with this recommends
ton, the Legislature OF 1856 reduced tho
appropriation to Sl3,S2l per annun, In.
Guiding the superintendent salary, and
this amount proved 10 be Sll6.sO per cap.
