Excerpt from Twenty-Fifth Annual Report of the Directors of the New-York Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb to the Legislature of the State of New-York, for the Year 1843The views of the Board respecting the great importance of the mechanical department in an Institution for the deaf and dumb, have been repeatedly expressed in former Reports, and they are gratified to perceive unequivocal indications that this feature in their system of education is approved by public sentiment.It is a rule universally known and acted on, that the labor of very young apprentices Will hardly pay the expense of superintendence and materials. Our pupils usually leave us just when they have acquired skill enough to make their labor profitable. Hence no expectations were ever entertained of deriving from the shops an income beyond their necessary expenses. They have Mn, and will be maintained at some addition to the annual expenditure of the Institution, should such be found necessary, for the same reason that a parent will incur some expense to give his children a suitable trade, because the mechanical skill and the habits of industry and regularity acquired in them, are deemed, in the great majority of cases, indispensable parts of the education of the deaf and dumb.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
