Michigan Institution for the Education of the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind.
By Egbert L. Bangs
The Michigan Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind is now completed. It will accommodate far more pupils than are now in attendance, and it is of the utmost importance that all proper subjects for instruction should enjoy its privileges. You are respectfully requested to communicate to the undersigned the name and address of the parent or guardian of any Deaf-Mute or Blind child residing within your jurisdiction, in order that arrangements may be made for the admission of such child to the Institution. Deaf-Mute and Blind children, between the ages of ten and twenty, who are of sound mind, good moral character, and who are free from contagious disease, are entitled to eight years of instruction, without charge for board or tuition. Parents or guardians unable to provide suitable clothing can have it furnished at the expense of the county they reside in. It is hoped that every man to whom this circular is addressed will feel a lively interest in seeking out and reporting all the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind who reside within his jurisdiction. By order of the board of Trustees. EGBERT L. BANGS, Principal.
