INCREASE COMES
FROM THE STATE

For the benefit of some who did
not thoroughly understand the matter,
although The Herald endeavored to
make it plain, the increase of the sal
airy of the cohnty superintendent all
comes from the State appropriation.
The county will pay just the same,
$1,000 per annum, that it has paid
heretofore, but the State allows an adj
ditional $3.50 making the total $3.50.
The motion of Esq. Bellanfant was to
continue the present salary, the eff
feet of which was to pay $3.50, the
surplus being paid by the State.

The negro prisoners asked the tenn.

caught him unawares as they passed

between the common school and the
special school for ply sically defective
children. In Wisconsin much attention
is now being given to the schools for
the deaf, and provision has been made
by legislation to provide deaf pupils,
with school facilities within the reach
of their own homes. Formerly all in
struction for the deaf was given in
boarding schools, thus requiring the
pupils to be sent from home. As insti-
tutional life is always open to objec-
ton, the establishment of day schools
for the deaf became an essential need
These exist in a number of states, al
though the greatest progress in this
direction has been made in Wisconsin,
where state aid provides a special
teacher for the education of the deaf
The progress in teaching pupils af-
flicted with deafness has developed to
such a degree that the defect at times
seems unnoticeable. Pupils trained in
the oral method, learn to speak prop
erly and by lip-reading are able to
understand all that others say. It is
now not by any means unusual for to-
tally deaf pupils to take regular high
school work with hearing pupils or to
be graduated from the ordinary col
leges.
Instruction for the Blind.
Because OF their helplessness in GO
ing from one place to another, most
of the instruction for the blind must
be given in institutions either public
or private, in which the pupils go to
live for a period of years. taking a
regular graded course of instruction
that almost invariably fits them to
become self supporting. The United
