DREN IN SOME STUDIES.


The sixty-fourth annual report of the New-York
Institution for the Blind. at Ninth-ave., Thirty
third and Thirty-fourth SITS. gives some interest
ing figures showing the results of the Regents
examinations in that school during the nine years
since the institution became a member of the Uni
versity Of the State of New-York II also makes
q comparison that will be a surprise TO most peo-
pie by giving in summarized statement the
results Of the Regents examinations from 1895 to
1895, inclusive in the Institution for the Blind and
those Of the high schools and academies OF this
State.
OF I449 answer papers written by the blind
during the nine years 7.67 per cent were up to or
above the prescribed standard OF excellence. Out
OF twenty subjects in which Regents examinations
have been given during the last four years the
blind fell behind the seeing students in only three
subjects, as allowed by the examination depart
ment- These were reading. advanced English and
New-Tork State history
In Roman history and algebra the blind attained
TO the 100 per cent mark In at least thirteen sub
Jects they are shown to be far ahead
These results" says Mr.. Wait superintendent
OF the institution, appear to be due to the pre-
dominance of the pure didactic expository method
Too much reliance is not placed on textbooks and
given wider and freer scope while the pereeptie
are less active The operations are thus made in
the highest degree mental not only in the stage
called mental arithmetic, but throughout the whole
Regarding the Regents examinations in the In
stitutIon for the Blind Mr.. Wait declares that the
iLL!e Llhlll WITHIN winch the answers in each sub
!ect must be completed, well all other regu-
lauons prescribed for the conduct Of the examina-
tons has been enforced in the institution ex-
actIy the same as in other school, that no
relaxation OF the rules has been made for his
scholars. During the last year, he SAYS Regents
examinations were held in January March and
June. and in the latter month twenty-seven type
writing machines were in use by the pupils Of the
institution for the five days during which the
amInauons continued. Fffty-seven different pu-
pills participated, 103 answer" papers in fourteen
subjects were forwarded, and ali were accepted
except one.
During the last year several pupils have also
successfully taken the rigid examinations of the
American College Of Musicians in notation terni-
nology, harmony. counterpoint. music history
music. form, aesthetics, acoustics piano theoretic
organ theoretc and piano demonstrative and organ
denOnstrarive.
Besides the kindergarten. primary, Intern ediate
academic and music departments, a number of mis-
cellaneous subjects are taught, among which are
piano tuning, mattress making. chair Gaming hand
and machine sewing knitting. crOcheting, cooking
and typewriting.
