REPORT.
The Joint Committee appointed by the Senate and House
of Delegates to visit and inspect the Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb, located at Frederick, Maryland, beg leave to re-
port as follows:
That they visited said Institution on the second instant,
and were afforded abundant opportunities of witnessing its
operations under the guidance of A. Fuller Crane, Esq.,
President of the Board of Visitors, and Professor Charles Ely,
the Principal. The pupils, eighty-eight in number, gave evidence all the class-rooms of the great care that had been taken
in their instruction by the intelligent, pains-taking members of
the Faculty of the Institution Their progress in knowledge
wag shown by means of written exercises on the black-board,
and by the facility with which they interpreted into sign
language, themes given them by their teachers and the Com-
mittee. quite a number have been under instruction in
vocalization, and the Committee had the pleasure of hearing
deaf mutes speak intelligibly in sounds that their own ears
could not appreciate. A general tone of happiness seemed
to pervade all the classes, giving evidence of the kind system
of government prevalent in an Institution, that is about to
bear such abundant fruits fur the money and labor spent upon
it, by making intelligent and useful citizens of the State out
of those who would otherwise be obliged to pass through life
in absolute ignorance as burdens upon the community.
