Excerpt from The Third Biennial Report of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb, 1896
To His Excellency Elias Carr,
Governor of North Carolina.
In compliance with statutory requirements, we have the honor to submit herewith the third biennial report of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb. It was in the Legislature of 1891 that the first movement was made for the establishment of a distinct school for the white deaf and dumb children of the State. That body appointed a Board of Directors, decided the question of location, and appropriated twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) as a beginning for the work. One year thereafter, in May, 1892, two deaf and dumb children laid the first brick of the present splendid modern structure.
The Legislature of 1893 fixed the annual appropriation at thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000). In October, 1894, the school was first opened for the reception of pupils. The Legislature of 1895 appropriated eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000) to pay off indebtedness incurred in completing and equipping the building, and three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500) for the erection and equipment of our industrial departments. The object of the General Assembly in establishing this separate school for the deaf and dumb children of our State was that a larger number of them should be accommodated, and we are pleased to be able to report that the expectation is rapidly being accomplished. Starting with 102 pupils two years ago, we have today 185.
