The School Session Pupils are expected to arrive on the first Wednesday in Septem- ber, and school opens the following day. The session ends on the second Wednesday of June, and the following day, Thursday, is home-going day. Prompt Entrance Parents are urged to enter their children promptly at the begin- ning of the session, for the delay of a week or two will frequently make it necessary to put the pupil back an entire session. Colored Children The School for the Colored Deaf and Colored Blind is located near Newport News. Address Professor W. C.

A compulsory law would prevent this culpable practice. Religion: Exercises Religious exercises are held every day. Sunday school is conducted every Sunday in the Deaf Department by the regular teachers. The blind pupils, however, attend the Sunday schools of their choice in town, and the plan is found to work most satisfactorily. The School is non-seetarian, and pupils are expected to attend the Church of their parents. The Ministers of the several Churches in town mani- fest great interest in our pupils and frequently hold services at the School on Sunday afternoon. Our deaf pupils are favored also several times a year by visits from two deaf Missionaries who are always welcome, and our deaf pupils are delighted with their sermons in the sign languages. A majority of the pupils become church members while at school. Healthful Location and Climate The school is situated or a beautiful hill in the suburbs of Staun- ton, which has a population of 12,000, in full view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has adjoining its lawn fifty acres of land, which affords ample play grounds for pupils and an excellent garden. In addition to the UH
