Among the important matters that
Governor Curry will take up with the
legislative assembly will be that OF the
disposal of the Reform school at Ell
Rito. Arriba county, and in connec-
ton with this the proposed merger OF
the territorial school for the deaf and
dumb in this city, with that OF the
territorial school for the blind at Ala
mogordo. Last week, Messrs. Samuel
G. Cartwright and Frank Owen, OF the
Board of Trustees Of the school for
the deaf and dumb in this city, to-
gether with the schools superintend-
ent w. O. Connor called upon the gov
ernor to present their report OF the
school and at the same time took adj
vantage of the opportunity to
protest against the proposed
merger which they stated If
carried out would be of incalculable
detriment to the city and county of
Santa Fe while at the same time no
real advantage would accrue to the
territory nor would any appreciable
amount of expense be saved and fur
ther it would work an actual hardship
upon the pupils of both schools to
place them in the same building es-
pecially in view of the fact that the
building at Alamogordo is not large
enough to comfortably accommodate
them ALL The New Mexican is cog
infant of the fact that under the man
a,gement of Superintendent Conner,
the Deaf and Dumb school has steadily
progressed and that the work ac.
.complshed in the school is far above
par. In fact the New Mexican once
before whe ma similar movemnt was
suggested, made, a most vigorous pro-
test in its editorial columns The rea-
sons then given as to why the schools
should not be merged are just as fore
ible today as then and are herewith
republished:
Different Methods of instruction.
First-The methods of instruction
pursued in a school for the deaf and
dumb are entirely different from those
in school for the blind. The instruc-
tion to the deaf is carried on almost
entirely through the sense of sight
while that of the blind depends mostly
upon the sense of hearing. Teachers
of either class of children require spe-
:. cial training and preparation before
they can successfully take up the
work and it is entirely out of the
question to suppose that one teacher
could successfully teach a class of deaf
children and class of blind children
together
Nothing in Common.
Second-The deaf children and the
blind children have nothing in com
mon Their recreations are of an en-
tirely different nature Games and
amusements that appeal to one are alb
solutely foreign to the other. Mu
sic especially appeals to the blind an(
should occupy prominent part in
their instruction. This is out of the
question to class whose ears are
closed to sound Outdoor games
such as football, baseball and others
that the deaf might enjoy cannot be
indulged in by the blind for obvious
reasons. 1t naturally follows thai
when two such classes of children
are thrown together, having nothins
in common, and no ready means o.
communication, one with the other
more or less friction is the result.
Industrial Training.
Third. In the course of short time
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1909-01-13
The Deaf and Dumb School and the
School for Blind Are Distinct
and Separate Institutions
PROGRESS IS MARKED UNDER C0NNERS DIRECTION
And Union Would Not Be Advantageous or Econo
mical to the Territory Matter Now Under
Consideration by the Governor

departments for industrial training
should be and will be introduced.
Those trades that are best suited for
the deaf are not suited to the blind.
Shoemaking, printing, carpentry,
tailoring and like trades are well suit
ed to the deaf but are not at all suited
to the blind
New Buildings Would Be Needed.
Fourth In a few years the attend
ance will be greatly increased and
new buildings will be required should
the two institutions be combined and
naturally there could be no saving
there. Should the two institutions
be combined now, when the number
of inmates increases there would have
to be separation in a few years and
again additional cost will be entail
| ed Where therefore does the util-
lity or economy of combination and
consolidation come in? The leglsla-
! tive assemblies of New Mexico, which
created these institutions some years
ago, considered the question involved
very carefully and came to the con-
clusion that separate institutions
would be better for those who should
be benefited and for the common
wealth.
Few States Combine Schools.
On examination it is found that
there are very few states which have
their institutes for the blind and for
the deaf and dumb in the same loca-
, tion and even then the buildings and
schools are entirely separated and
apart. The following statistics prove
this assertion:
There are in the United States a
total of 12S schools for the dear; 112
of these aresupported by the states
and territories and 16 are private or
IdenominatiOnal schools. or these 112
state institutions there are only 10
that are combined with the blind and
these 10 without exception have sepa-
rate buildings for the blind and for
the deaf and are combined only in the
sense that they are under one head /;
in all other things they are entirely
separate.
The Per Capita Cost.
AS to per capita cost: There are IA
state schools that cost over $3OS pei
capita. Many others cost over $275
for maintenance per capita and run
ming expenses. The average per capi
ia spent in every school for the deal
in the United States is $274.44, OF
practically $275.
For each pupil in the New Mexico
Institute for the Deaf and Dumb there
is spent annually $275. This is in
keeping with the cost of maintenance
OF schools all over the country and
where board and clothing are cheaper
than they are here; it is well estab
lished that a small number of pupils
comparatively speaking, costs much
1more than does a large number.
! Matter Before the Legislature.
The Governor has taken the matter
under serious consideration and viii
advise with the legislature, doing
what he thinks is best for the differ
| ent schools, at the same time keeping
in view has always been his wont
rigid economy in the interest of the
New Mexico taxpayers. The near flu
ture will in all likelihood see the ques
tion Of merger settled for once and al
time.

Solomon Beardsley sat tilted back in

SHOW HIM OUT.

There is one man now mixing in
the Oregon senatorial fight who
should be shown to the state line. He
is Ormsby McHarg.
According to the story in a Portland
paper. McHarg is here as the repre-
sentative of the natioal republican or
ganization and he came to help elect
a republican to succeed Senator Full
ton. He is also credited with repre-
senting the national administration.
but that this is false is clear to all
who remember President Roosevelt's
plain words regarding the contest now
on in this state.
But whoever the fellow represents,
what business has he meddling in the
senatorial contest? When did it be-
come necessary for Oregon to send
abroad for advice as to the selection of
a senator? Then if the national re-
publican organization has advice to
offer why did they send McHarg-a
man whose reputation throughout
the middle west is that of a dirty
political wire puller, if not worse?
For the sake of decency it is an
nounced that while he will assist"
in the fight at Salem McHarg has no
money to offer those whom he hopes
TO have break their oaths. But when
did bribers ever make a public an
nouncement of their designs? Only
honorable methods" will be used, 1t
is said. But where is the honor in
trying to induce men to break their
oaths?
The people Of oregon settled the
question Of the senatorship last June.
They chose Governor Chamberlain
for that position and a majority Of
the legislators are sworn to ratlfy the
choice Of the people.
Since these things are true, the
presence Of McHarg, upon the mis-
sion with which he is credited, is
fragrant insult to the state OF Oregon.
If the Legislators are OF the right met
tie they will resent the appearance Of
this feIloy. they will shun his ad-
vances as they would a snake.

WE'LL PROTECTED.

II we are to have a chinook and
resulting high water, Pendleton has
the consolation of knowing that the
city is better prepared for such than
1t ever was before.
If a flood comes this year it will
find that Pendleon has an impreg-
nable, riprapped wall. extended from
far above the city to the extreme
lower end. The new levee should be
able to fully protect Pendleton from
any flood that a freshet may bring
forth.
In the event Of flood the only pos
sible danger to Pendleton will be from
jam in the river caused by ice or
debris blocking against some one Of
the bridges. The Lee street bridge
is the most vulnerable. Let US hope
that the coming summer will see a
new bridge constructed at that point
50 that there will then be no danger
whatever.
