    phabet succeeded when signs failed, as also in the case of( Julia Brace. 8. That nearly half of the deaf mutes in this State have either once spoken, or have now some power of hearing, audi are proper pupils of an articulating school. 9. That it is not advisable to send children under twelve* years of age to so large a school as the Hartford Asylum, audi that such tittle ones, still needing a home influence, can be' better taught in family or day schools. 10. That while the number of deaf mutes in New England 1 increased largely from 1860 to 1865, the average number of pupils at Hartford decreased, showing a need of reform either iu the school, the public, or the friends of the deaff mute. 11. That a very large proportion of the adult deaf mutes I in the vicinity of Boston have shown by their evidence audi petitions their desire that this State would undertake the in- struction of its own deaf mutes. 12. That the school at Hartford must soon require expen- sive additional buildings to accommodate the increasing num- ber of deaf mutes ; that these expenditures will reduce the productive income which must be divided among a greater: number of pupils, so increasing the expense of the State. 13. That a school for teaching articulation is in successful! operation in this State, under the care of Miss Rogers at Chelmsford, where a limited number of pupils can be taught,. if the same appropriation is made for their education as for that of the pupils of the Hartford school. 14. That, if a school for deaf mutes be incorporated by this- State, it is believed that private benefactions will be liberally made.
