REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Nebraska School for the Blind, Nebraska City, Nebraska, November 30, 1912.

To the Governor: The Board of Trustees for the Nebraska School for the

Blind have the honor to submit the following report: On January 7, 1911, Mr. R. C. King appeared before the

board with proper credentials from yourself as superintendent, and immediately assumed the duties of office. Some enforced changes were made in the faculty soon after his entrance, but matters soon adjusted themselves, making his term a successful one in every particular.

The personnel of the board has changed since the report of two years ago, Mr. H. H. Hanks being elected president to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Chas. R. Sherman, Mrs. Viola J. Cameron as secretary, but still retaining the Hon. D. 0. Dwyer as the third'member on the board.

The report of the superintendent, giving in detail the affairs and statistics of the school, is made a part of this report.

Respectfully submitted, H. H. HANKS, President D. 0. DWYER, Vice President VIOLA J. CAMERON, Secretary

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Nebraska City, Nebraska, December 1, 1912. To the Board of Trustees, Nebraska School for the Blind:

GENTLEMEN: I herewith present the nineteenth biennial report of the affairs of the school.

Graduates

In the past two years there' have been seven graduates from the school, three from the literary department, one from the domestic science and four from the industrial department in tuning.

Improvements

The ,following improvements have been ma,de during the past two years :

1. Five cement porches replace the old frame porches on, the building, and the whole is painted a grey stone color which adds greatly to its general appearance.

2. , An entirely new heating plant was installed, rendering it comfortable in all parts of the building in the severest weather

3. A tubular fire escape, and new underwriters hose with extension for the interior of the building adds much to our safety against fire.

4. Steel ceilings have been put on all rooms, plastering ahd papering done when needed, the halls throughout the main building have been repainted.

5. New carpets purchased for teachers and reception room.

6. Entire new plumbing and fixtures replace the 'old un- sanitary system.

7. A new Troy laundry rdachine and other minor improve- ments have been made in the laundry.

8. The repIacing of steel ceilings rendered it a most op- portune time for rewiring the building, which has been done, adding much to the appearance as well as material safety.

9. A new wagonette replaces the old, also a new wagQn box for use a t the stables.

Three Schools

Three schools-literary, musical, industrial-have been maintained as formerly with excellent results.

Literary Department

The literary department uses, as far as is practical, the course of study adopted for public school work, the advanced classes are under the supervision of Prof. E. C. Cook and Miss Mary Morton, teachers of wide experience in this class of work, with Miss Jennie Johnson doing most efficient work in the grammar grades.

Musical Department

The courses of study prescribed for this department are identical with those of our best schools of music and most com- mendable wor4 is being done in this department of the school.

Industrial Department

The girIs are taught domestic science in all 'its branches, I I

both in theory and practice, while the boys do all sorts of shop work, piano tuning, chair caning, broom making, carpet weaving

. and netting. A cobblers outfit was added to the equipment this I I last year, which branch is proving very practical. .

Acknowledgement

In conclusion let me express my thanks to the governor for his support, and the the board, teachers and employees my heartiest appreciation for their co-operation during the time spent here.

Respectfully submitted, R. C. KING, Superintendent.
