the United States, the American School, has ranked as 9 leader in this special field of education since its ablishnlent in 1877. Over this period 1t has made contribution to the state amounting to millions of dollars as the state has never paid all of the expenses of caring for the children it assigned to the school. During the 19S5-37 biennYllmrF YllmrF although the schools total per capita operating costs averages about $510, the state has been reduested to fur nIsh $433, the remainder being made Up from the income from the r1od-- est endowment of the school. No pupil $ charged tuition as the orig inal purpose of the school was to insure that children handicapped by deafness had the same chance to 2 free education as hearing children.
 Although the Mystic School had only 92 children on its rolls at the last report, 1t has asked for $2f5, ,675 over its regular appropriation with which to erect new building ana buy more land to add to the 125 acres 1t now has. The American School has fine plant built only IS years ago. It would take about $iol, 1000 to enlarge 1t to accommcda an additional 100 children, result- ing in g saving of about $lSo,p1Q. Since the difference in the per capita costs of the two schools IS about $4l0 per pupil, there would be an all- rltial saving of between S5 and 4O thousand dollars. And the henefit to the children is an item that cannot be put into dollars and cents.
