We hope at au early date to be advised of the prospects of a
resumption of the exercises the institution, so that we may be
enabled to act accordingly. 1 am, very respectfully,
NEWTON F. WALKER, Steward.
To His Excellency Jamtin L. Orr, Governor of Sotdh Carolina.
Tho undersigned, Commissioners of the Institution at Cedar
Spring, for the education of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, present the
following report. The practice heretofore has been to make reports
to the Legislature, at each annual session; but the condition of the
institution renders it proper, in our judgment, thus to address yon,
as Chairman of the Board, as you were prevented from attending
our last meeting, when mattel's of grave importance, involving the
continuance of the exorcises of the institution, liad to be decided:
Wo met, by agreement, at Cedar Spring Asylum, on tho 27th ol"
July, and remained until tho evening of the :>0th. Examined the
buildings and financial condition of thc Asyluni; vye determined to
have the dome of the building removed and Supplied by ft roof.
Thc whole injury to the building heretofore bas been occasioned by
the unskillful and ii ?art i ti ci al manner in which the dome was put up.
It was in such condition, it could not be repaired to ndvnntage; and
Uie substitution of another would cost more than the roof which
we propose in its stead; and in the opinion of artists of taste, the
change, if i* does not add to, will not detraet from the appearance
of the building. We had to consult economy-the appropriation
for repairs being two thousand dollars ($2,000.) The subject which
gave ns the most concern, and about which we deliberated long,
was whether the exercises ?f the institution should be suspended
after the first of October next, and if any means could be devised
to prevent it. Ydn will perceive from the report of the Steward,
that the whole appropriation will be exhausted by him, which is the
j commencement of the fiscal year. This has been the case hereto
fore; but we never hesitated to gb on, relying on the ensuing
Iiogislatnr? to mnVo. a? appropriation t? muet tho expenctitiire. At
present we tip not know if wo will have a Legislature next winter;
and if we do, Oou form no definite idea of its complexion, or how
far it niay bev1;sposed to sustain, tho existing institution. "We did
not consider it wise or just to, incur debts, even if credit could be
had, upon the doubtful and uncertain contingency of au appropria?
tion horpaftetf to be made. We next considered whether we might
not uso tho fund appropriated for repairs; but as it was made for a
specified purpose, wo did not consider wc had a right to divert it,
especially as the Legislature reduced the sum asked for by the
Commissioners, reported on favorably by the Committees, one-half,
thereby clearly signifying that $4,000 was all they intended to give
for the "Education .of tho Deaf," ?Sic. In this condition of tho
finances, we had no alternative, and were constrained, however
reluctant, to direct a suspension of the exercises of tho institution,
after tho first of October next. . ii?
At our first meeting after tho appropriation, at which you presided,
it waa agreed tho sum was insufficient to corry on thc Asylum as
previously, aud wo considered the questions whether we should
restrict the number of pupils to fifty, as to avoid a suspension before
the I?t of October next, or to admit all apphca?io?s and go on until
thc fund was exhausted, and then suspend. We decided, for satis?
factory reasons, to adopt the first, and have succeeded in our ex?
pectations, though it is a source of regret that many applicants
were refused admission, who were 'equally entitled to the. benefit of
tho charity.
It is most probable, if there ?B not a prospect of re-opening the
Asylum by or before tho winter, that all who have been connected
with it as teachers or otherwise, Will leave and seek employment else?
where. They havo faithfully discharged their duty, and are entitled
not only to the thanks of tho pupils, but the State, for the kind and
paternal manner in which they have treated those entrusted to their
cara We would, if there is a prospect bf rs-opening, do well to
retain the sen-ices of a part at least . In the -.yent of th? present
occupants leaving, the building and furnitm- must be taken charge
of bj* some one. They hav? cost the State a large sum of money,
and should not be neglected or abandoned, if they cease to be used
for the purpose originally intended. They might possibly be dis?
posed of by lease, for some kindred purpose of education, until the
State was in a condition to make au appropriation sufficient to
sustain the institution.
We cannot express too profoundly our regret at being compelled
to .come to the conclusion we did, to suspend the exercises of thc
institution. It has done znuoh good-not only favored and che?
rished by the State, but commended itself favorably to visitors and
strangers. It has given speech to tho dumb, and eyes to tho blind;
and should, if practicable, receive the support and fostering care of
the State, without which it cannot exist.
We send herewith the report of thc Secretary of our meeting,
and the report of the Steward, trusting you will he able to devise
some means by winch the institution can resume its exercises on
the 1st of October next. Respectfully submitted.
