fation the following report of the board
rustees for the deaf, dumb and blind
hute for colored youths of Texas:
ie members OF the board have visited
from time to time as re-
ID by law, and 1t is gratifying to De
to state that its management and
,uct continues satisfactory. Perfect
hony prevails between the superin-
|ent and his corps of teachers and EN-
rs, which is so essential in the Goa
and management Of an institution OF
character.
)e new building (menticn Of which was
b in our last repcrt) has been entirely
pletc3 ard in our judgment, is one
he most substantial public edifices in
Estate. 1t Is to be regretted that
Sr appropriation for the institution
mot maie by the last legislature, thus
Ating the necessity of asking for an
tional appropriation.
will be seen from the accompanying
lrt of the superintendent, that he
testify requests that your excellency
mmends to the next legislature, the
ertance OF making an appropriation of
700 for mess hall and additional
pitories. The board fully concurs in
suggestion, and would add in addition
Plat has been sad by the N.iperintenl-
/ that the improvements aske,l for are
pst an absolute necessity.
Re superintendent has further recon-
ttd that sofns provision be made for
obstruction Of pupils in the manufac-
hg of brooms, ietc. This suggestion also
Is with the hearty approval of the
'd. 1t is the unanimous judgment OF the
!. that the inmates, while being ed
ed ard cared for by the State, should
rained and Instructed in some of the
hanical arts. thus enabling them TO be
supporting when they shall have left
institution Such n policy could. we
quite certain. result in much pra ctical
substantial good, and as entitled to
most serious consideration
le report of DR.. M. NJ. Smith. the at
Ing physician. accompanies the report
le superintendent, and sets out in full
general health of the inmates and the
larry condition Of the institution.
closing this, our last official report
Iour excellency. 1t is but right I'D
er that the board should again ex-
3 satisfaction with the management
conduct of Superintendent Jenkins.
We take this occasion to commend him
the honest. conscientious and faithful
barge OF his official duties. He has
economical. energetic and untirinz in
ievction to the best interest of the in

" development of It's pupils. Very re-
