for we have no money to pay more
, teachers," and when I inquired
1 about one of the best teachers, was
j told tnat she had only been allowed
a salary of $600 a year, and the
Iowa school had offered her $900,
so of course she had gone. In the
kitchen were only four cooks for the
vast number of 450 children, while
over at the Blind Institute I was
told were 250 pupils with five cooks.
Now, being a woman, the proposi-
tion is entirely too large for me, but
there is something wrong when a
great state like Texas cannot or will
not keep pace with other states in her
public institutions. I was surprised
when informed that there are hun-
dreds of deaf children in the state
who cannot attend school for lack of
room, and yet an education means
so much to those deprived of their
hearing, and the influences thrown
around them, while in school is of
of the utmost importance. In he
dining room at the dormitory I
d that pupils are required to
d drink from tin dishes, which
a way humiliating to every
seTPrespecting boy or girl, for it is
established fact that to treat a
child like an animal developes the
animal nature. Then, too, it teaches
them a carelessness in handling
dishes that is hard to overcome.
The committee oi investigation from
the legislature does not seem to take
into consideration the increased cost
of living when making appropriations
for the Deaf and Dumb Institute, for
the school opened two weeks late
last fall and will close a week or two
early, because they have not suffi-
cient money to run the entire term.
Now it cannot be that the state is
pauperized, for we notice that all
the other state schools are rum
on full time. Now these are just
lature this summer will find it in
their hearts to heed the urgent needs
of the school. Mrs J. M. Deveny,
