R|NES BROTHERS co.
SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
Proposition to Make This State Institu'
tion.

A proposition will soon be brought be-
fore the legislature to have the state take
charge of the Portland School for the
Deaf, making it In reality, as 1t at
present Id in effect, a state Institution.
The state now owns the dormitory and
the city authorities will be asked to
transfer to the state, without charge, the
school building and lot, making the
whole plant state property. The plan Is
to have the school governed by board OF
trustees, appointed by the governor ana
confirmed by the council, in exactly the
same way that the trustees OF the Reform
school are now appointed.
1t Is thought that this change will be
advantageous to the city and state and
benefit to.the school. The expense to the
state Of assuming charge OF the school
war be nothing In excess Of what will
have to be appropriated IL the school re-
m aims under its present management.
Tbs state now pkys to the city $500 for
enob pupil in the school and that amount
will ordinarily be sufficient to pay the
running expenses Of the school. mas
much as pupils are sent to the school at
the expense of the state, there seems to
he eoud reason why the state should
have charge of the institution.
1t will be An advantage to the city to
have the state manage the school. The
city now appropriate $1,000 each year to-
wards the expenses Of the school. but ii
the state assumes charge that appropria-
ton will no longer be called for. To be
sure the city will be asked to give the
schooIhouse and lot, but the cutting oil
of the $1,000 appropriation each year, will
soon compensate the city fdr the school
house property.
TT will be benefit to the school to
come under the charge of tire state, mas
much as the state is directly interested IN
the proper education of its own pupils,
and if it has charge of them will always
take care that tho work is well done, and
will see that the Institution ia bept up to
the standard of similar schools in other
states. A great many Of the leading
states in the Union support their own
schools for the deaf, and the time now
seems to have arrived for Maine TO &c
tho same.
