GEORGIA
To ASK SCHOOL
FOR 100 DEAF
Legislature viii Be Asked for Ap-
preparation to Establish Branch
of Cave Spring Institution.

Triton, July 5.-The urgent need
for a school for the deaf in South
Georgia is demonstrated by the sta
tistics furnished by the State school
census, which shows that of 1862 deaf
children in the State, 1919 are in South
Georgia. There are approximately $50
deaf children in South Georgia who
are not attending school.
According to State superintendent
Of Schools NJ. L, Britain the Stats
tics furnished by the State school CEN
sus taken in May are complete ex
cept for four counties and twelve To-
cal systems, where the enumerations
must be made again. In 144 coun-
ties there are 202 white and 124 col
ored deaf children. OF these 102 white
and 81 Colored are in South Georgia
The counties and local systems not
enumerated VIII add twelve or fifteen
more to this number
Last year the total enrolment at
the Cave Spring School was 1888 OF
this number less than fifty were from
South Georgia, leaving approximately
$50 deaf children in South Georgia
to whom the liberal appropriation
for the institute at Cave Spring is
practically worthless. 1t is to rem
edy this that the Legislature will be
asked to pass a bill to establish a
branch school in South Georgia.
At a meeting held in Triton last
March an executive committee with
r. c. Postell, of Triton. chairman, was
appointed to inquire into the need for
a school for the deaf in South Geor-
gia. Chairman Postell has called a
meeting of this committee in the Tiff
ton Chamber of Commerce rooms
Monday afternoon, July Z, at o'clock.
The purpose of the meeting is to
frame a bill providing for the es-
tablishment of such a school and to
arrange for its introduction.
