ERRATA.
On page 341, the second sentence under the head of "The school for Imbeciles and Idiots," should read "One of the first to call attention to the matter, uns the Superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb," &c.
On page 341, the first sentence of the second paragraph under the same head, instead of "Under the same authority and management as the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind," should read "under
the same board of directors as the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind.
On page 345, the top line in first column "and the school for idiots and imbeciles" and in the second line, the name "Dr. George H. Knight" should be erased, so that the reading would be "and Prof. J. J. Dow was appointed superinten- dent of his respective department."
