Many persons are not aware that
the State of Kentucky does more lor
the training OF its defective children,
IN proportion to their number, than
It does for the other children through
the public schools. In fact, it main
tains three noble schools: one AT
Frankfort, for the teaching ,oi the
feeble minded children, known as the
kentucky Institution for the Feeble
Minded; one at ppnville, known as
the Kentucky School for the Deaf;
and one for blind children, known Is
the Kentucky Institution tor the Ed.
ucation OF the Blind.
These are all free, and the state.
upon the proper evidence, paws for
the clothing and even for the rail
raod fare of those children whose
parents are too poor to meet such
expenses.
In the case of the deaf children and
also OF the blind children, the school
is in session from the middle of Sep
temher to the middle OF June, when
the children all go home, in order
that the family ties may not he de
stroyed.
The buildings for the care OF these
children are credit To the State
and thoroughly equipped with all
possibl means Tor the comfort, hap.
piness, and education OF their pupils.
They are under the charge of Boards
Of Trustees selected from the best cit
liens of the neighborhood, and
the best possible teachers are en-
ployed for training their pupils. These
three schools are maintained in the
most generous manner by the SKATE,
and consequently rank among the
foremost in the world for their eth
cheney.
