Objects of the School The State provides this school for her deaf and her blind children for the same reason that she provides public schools for those who can hear and see-to fit them for useful and independent citizenship. It is a free school for all white children, of sound mind, totally deaf or totally blindfor whose hearing or sight is too defective to enable them to attend the ordinary public schools. The limit of age for admission is fixed by the Board of Visitors at between eight and twcnty-one years, but, if possible, all should enter at eight. Everything possible is done for the comfort, advance- ment and training of the pupils, with special reference to giving them character and a means of livelihood after they leave school. In all cases, children must be capable of attending t0 their own per- son-dressing and. undressing, feeding tlzcmscl'z'cs, chi, 'zvz'flzout assist- ance before coming to school. The entire scholastic term of our pupils is fixed by the Board at ten years, except where a pupil becomes twenty-one years of age be- fore the expiration of ten years, and in that case the term of pupilage is fixed by special act of the Board. Pupils are required to leave the school at the close of each session, and spend vacation at their homes. This is not an Asylum, a Hospital, or a Home, but purely a school, and if a Child, cannot learn, we do not keep it here simply to furnish it a home. l13l
