 The first effort at a school for the deaf was under the direction of Dr. J. II. Johnson. who contracted with Gov. A. B. Moore to teach and provide for such pu- pills as might enter at a stipulated price per capita. Dr. Johnson was led to this work from personal knowledge of the benefits of such an institution in his na- tive State of Georgia, where his father was prominently connected with the work of educating the deaf.
 The institution was opened October I, 1S5S in the large and imposing four story building erected by Clinton Lodga No. &. of Masons and used by that order under the name of the East Alabama Masonic Female College. The corner stone | of the building was laid April l2 1S50 and the cost when completed was S27 .0O0 After two years trial il was demonstrat- | ed that there was need for such an in- stituton and an act of the Legislature, approved January q. lSG0 organized and
 established the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb at Talladega, The act author ized the then State Superintendent of Education. who was c. B. Du Val and his successors in office and four other
 commissioners to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate
 to carry into effect the provisions of the
 act and gave them all needed power to secure the object in view. which was the
 education of the indigent deaf and dumb
 of the State. They were empowered tc
 locate the institution and to secure by purchase or otherwise. suitable buildings The act appropriated S20000 for that pur- pose, and 5000 for the support of the in

 He was known and loved in every nook
 and corner of Alabama.
 His son. Mir. J. II. Johnson, was prompt ly chosen to succeed him. He had been connected with the institute for some years as assistant superintendent and was thoroughly qualified in every way tc carry on a work so auspiciously begun by his father. The success that has at tended his efforts amply demonstrates the wisdom of the Board of Trustes in se- curing him to fill the important position There is one institution in three de partments for the deaf and the blind. As already stated all of them are under the i supervision and control of Mir. J, Il Johnson. The first department is the | school for the white deaf It is in the i original building and the O, / one in use l until 1SSS, and up to that time the blind ] children were under the same roof. The next department is the school for the white blind This was created by act oi I the Legislature approved February 2s

white children who are deaf and 8 who are blind, making total of 242 white children who are receiving '0ard and in- structiOn and being fitted by education and industrial training to be self-Sup porting and helps where under other con ditions they might be burdens There are fifty negro children who are being taken care of and taught how to get along in the world in spite of their apparently helpless condition.
 There are fortYsiX counties of the State represented in the deaf school for whites and thirty-two counties send blind chill dren. There are only thirteen counties in the State from which there are no children in one of these sch pols.
 The health of the children has been re- markedly good. There has not been a death during the past twelve months among whites or blacks The need for a times there are cases of Sickn Ass Whi ,h cannot be treated In the rowd9d dormi- tories. At present severe cases are takcr to a sanltartum. The institution has escaped all epidemics.
 There are forty-two teachers and super visors. The combined method oral ant manual, Is taught, but not in the sam, class. Mir.

the work can be carried on as satisfac- toriiy as it should be. The clothes that a boy wears do not fit him when he reaches mans estate and the acommoda-
 tions for say 100 pupils do not suffice for double or three times that num- Der. The Legislature was impressed with the showing made by Mir. Johnson and others who know the great need of larger class rooms, of better dormitory accommodations, of hospital, bath rooms, etc. The crowded condition can be better understood when 1t is stated that about forty boys have to sleep in one room and thirty in another, when not half that number should be in either room. The children. however, are sent and the principal will not refuse them and send them back home. For tunately good health has been the rule since the institution was established, but there Is no place for treatment of those who are seriously i'll. The Legislature at Its recent session appropriated S45.t0o for the erection of the buildings that are most urgently required. The Govern Jr has not yet approved 1t. but .n view of all the conditions now existing it is pretty safe to say that he will attach his signature to this bill and let this great work go on more conf orta5ly healthfully and satisfactorily.

The office of Deaconess was created by the General Conference of the M. F. Church. South. which met in Dallas, Tex, in May 1902. The development. training and government of their work was com mitted to the Woman's Home Mission So- ciety of which Miss Belle Bennett of Richmond. Ky, is President, and Mrs. R. w. MacDonell of Nashville is Gen eral Secretary.
 The consecration of the first five dea- conesses in Southern Methodism by Bish- op E. R. Hendrix at the Board meeting in Atlanta, April 19, 1903, marks an epoch in the history of this church. The du- ties of the office are defined in the fol- lowing address to the candidates by the Bishop:
 5. Address to the candidates:
 Dear Sisters, we reoice with you that in the good providence of God an open door of usefulness has been found for you in the service of the Church of Christ. In our Masters wide vineyard there are a thousandl forms of labor. and to each disciple some fitting task Is as- signed; but to you are accorded peculiar privileges, and priceless opportunities. Released from other cares you give your selves without reservation to the service of the Lord of the Vineyard, ready for any duty which may fall to your lot: Like our blessed Master, you will hence forth go about doing good, ministering as he did to the wants of a suffering, sOr- rowing and sin-laden world. The Church now solemnly sets you apart for her special service. You are to work for Je- sus only. You are to minister to the poor, visit the sick, pray with the dying, care for the orphan, seek the wandering comfort the sorrowing save the shining. and ever be ready to take up any other duty for which willing hands cannot oth- erwise be found. Such ministry is one which confers upon you a great honor, but also a solemn responsibility. You have not entered upon it lightly, and no doubt in the sacred stiffness of the sane tuary of the heart you have already con secrated yourselves to this office and work. What you have done alone with God, you now do formally and publicly in the presence of the Church.
 Question-Do you believe that you have been led by the Spirit and providence of God to engage in this work, and assume the duties of this office2
 Answer.--I do.

The institution was located here and the building in which Dr. Johnson conducted the school by contract was purchased by the State.
 There was no blind school until an act February s, 1869, provided for one in con- nection with the deaf school, and $2,5o0 was set apart for its support. On Feb ruary II. 1S70 the two were consolidated under the name Alabama Institute for Deaf and Dumb and the Blind and the governor, ex-officio, and three other per sons to be named by him were added to the number of incorporators and the sum for support increased to $13, 900 and an ad ditional sum of s3,O0O to purchase books, apparatus, music instruments and to make repairs
 The institution has grown year by year Tn benefits to pupils and in attendance. In 1885 the system of oral work was in- augurated.
 February 19, 1887, separate apartment for the blind was established and by act February 2s. 1887. the name of the orig inal institution was changed to Alabama Institute for the Deaf and the system Of appropriation was changed so as to make it so much per year for each pupil therein.
 Since then mechanical and training department has been regularly estab- lished and appropriate buildings erected and necessary appliances purchased. This department is known as the Wilson shops name given by the Board of Trustees In recognition of the late John Wilson of Pike Road, Montgomery County, who made the first and only bequest the insti- tuition has ever had. Only one other per- son has ever remembered the institution in a will, and that was the late Jere
