MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
In the education of the blind, music must always be of su- preme importance. Shut off from the pleasure of observation. with its myriad forms of delight and moral growth, the student who can not see, turns with greater intensity to the harmony of external life presented through the ear. He is not more gifted. but the longings of his nature find solace here which is denied him through the means afforded the seeing student.
It is the aim of the Department to educate pupils not alone that they may afford pleasure to themselves and friends, but
17
that they may attain that general and technical knowledge of the subject which will enable them to stand with other cultured musicians of the day. Music is commenced when the pupil enters the primary grade. Here he learns his first lessons in the realms of conscious tone-making. From simple exercises adapted to the range of the young voice, he goes to those charming songs prepared for child-life by the greatest teachers and child specialists. So far as possible, the pupils' games and lessons become a part of their songs, and their songs a part of their lessons. After one year in this work, the pupil enters the junior choir, when he begins to group the idea of the greater world, where others live than himself and his one tone. This is done by introducing simple harmony. At the end of one year in this grade he is able to take part in and to appreciate two and three part song's.
Every pupil is given a fair test and prolonged trial in music. embracing the kind of work above mentioned. At the end of the second year, if he shows no musical ability, he is dropped from the Department. If he has a singing voice, and even me- dium ability, he enters the chorus work and remains there from this time through his school course, whether he specializes in any other branch or not. In his third year, if he has sufficient ability, the pupil enters a theory class, where the rudimentary steps in piano music are taught. By means of a board and de- tachable characters he learns musical notation as it is taught to a student with sight. By means of the Braille system-a sys- tem of six dots-he learns notation as he is to read it. After a considerable amount of preparatory work the pupil is given a test. If he shows the knowedge and intelligence necessary to successful study of the piano, he is then permitted to enter the piano department. For a few weeks he is confined to table ex- ercises, after which he is taken to the piano and allowed to make as rapid progress as possible. Careful attention is given to technic at all times. The piano is used as the basis of all musical training, and not until the pupil evinces marked ability is he permitted to take up any other branch for special work. After sufficient technic is acquired to enable the student to play the simpler works of Heller, Mozart. Kohler, Clementi and others of equal difficulty with musical intelligence, and he has some experience in ensemble playing, he is permitted to take
(2)
18
up the organ, cornet, or voice, as his taste and ability dictate. Piano-tuning and work in theory and history of music are also taken up and made a part of the regular course in musical development. While each pupil is expected to carry his work systematically in this department, occasional exceptions are made.
In case an older pupil enters with some knowledge of music and some particular talent, he is taken at once into the Depart- ment and placed where his needs are best met. He is gradually brought up in all of the preparatory work. The purpose is to do the best possible for each individual pupil, whether it is in accordance with the course of study or not. Below is given a synopsis of the course of study in this Department. The grades do not co-ordinate with the year in the Literary Department.

INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
The Industrial Department is a very important part of any institution for the education of the blind. It is with difficulty, under the most favorable conditions, that a blind person attains sufficient skill to compete successfully in any line of business with seeing people. The gifted in music can receive remunera- tive employment ; a few can succeed through literary pursuits. but the great majority of the blind must look to manual labor as the source of independent livelihood. It is necessary, then. that the greatest care be taken in the industrial trades. The blind children are naturally industrious. The tedium of long hours which seeing children may pass in observation is passed by the blind in some manual exercise.
The principal lines of industrial education here are broom- making, chair-caning, mattress-making, piano-tuning, sewing. crocheting and ornamental bead-work. The following articles have been manufactured in the industrial shops and work-room during the past :

ENTERTAINMENTS.
The usual entertainments and exercises have been held during the past year. The Literary Club, composed of the larger pupils, has met regularly each month. All pupils assemble each morning in the chapel when moral and religious instruc- tion is given. An hour each school evening is given in each grade to the reading of choice selections of history and litera- ture. In this way much is done to bring the best literature within the reach of the pupils. Exercises have been held on the national holidays. Birthdays of prominent statesmen and authors have been commemorated by suitable programs. Monthly recitals by the music pupils have been given. The following programs of the closing recitals will serve to illustrate the nature of the work done by the music students :

GRADUATES' FUND.
In many cases pupils who graduate from this Institution have not sufficient means to commence business. The cost of equip- ments and supplies for a broom shop is not great, but in many instances wholly beyond the reach of graduates. Several at- · tempts have been made to establish a fund to obviate this diffi- culty. The following exhibit gives the sources, receipts and donations as shown by the reports of the superintendents :
From unknown, January 27, 1862. $100 00

GENERAL.
I wish to quote from my former report my views upon the care of blind children :
It is a mistake to regard them as inevitable objects of >VI- pathy and commiseration. Many have known no other condi- tion or have become reconciled to the loss of sight, and have so developed the other special senses that they feel no limitation unless reminded of it by thoughtless persons. There is no need to be continually solicitous about their safety or to dis- trust their capabilities. Hearing, touch, taste and smell may be so educated that they will till the place of sight in almost every instance.
Blind children should be permitted to associate with other children as much as possible. Nothing can be more cruel to the sightless child than to hem it in on every side and to antici- pate its every want. It should play, work, go on errands alone. and, in fact, be treated in every way as other children. It may receive a few more bruises, it may make a few more mistakes. but its body and mind will not be dwarfed by ernel isolation. It will become self-reliant, and at maturity will be capable of almost any task. Too often a child's future is ruined by a sym- pathetic but thoughtless parent, who suppresses all disposition and ability to become independent.
The education of the blind may be complete. It is a slow and expensive process, but may be thorough and comprehen- sive. How they reach results in many cases can not be under- stood, but their accuracy can not be questioned. They can traverse crowded streets without injuring others and without injury from passing vehicles.
The solution of any problem of arithmetic, or the most com- plex proposition of geometry, without pencil, is no impossible task. One who has been in successful business life for a decade of years tells me that he has kept in mind at one time. without mistake, more than one hundred orders for different materials in different quantities to be delivered to different parts of the city. With memories trained to such an extent by necessity. much more is gained from sermons or lectures. Little. com- paratively, is heard or read, but much is retained.
28
The constant effort of the teacher in the public schools must be directed towards intensifying the work of the pupils. Extent of observation and copiousness of illustration generally will need no assistance. But width may gain at the loss of thorough- ness and depth. Few pupils in the public schools learn to think logically and intensively. The true teacher then must strive to develop faculties which may remain dormant because of the range and attractiveness of sight.
Not such the work of the teacher of the blind. His problem is to have secured approximately as much material through four senses as is gained to the child with sight through five. He need have less care of memory and reason. They will generally . take care of themselves if other troubles be corrected. The effort here is not to intensify but to amplify.
1
Many graduates of blind institutions wholly fail to become self-supporting. The most potent cause is the want of a stout heart because of a dependent environment. Not unfrequently are wanting habits of economy and morality. It is imperative that the blind who would be successful husband resources in every possible way. The road will be rough enough at best. But with liberal education, trained hands and strong will, they need not be solicitous about the result.
