SCOPE AND CONTENTS
Early (1863-1870s) treasurer's and steward's reports contain lists of vouchers as well as classified lists of expenses. The complete reports for these years sometimes contain copies of students' compositions.
Lists of deaf persons not attending school are included in reports from the 1860s to 1892.
The report for 1892 contains a cumulative alphabetical list of pupils at the school since its opening, giving personal information: county and locality of resident, year of admission and age at admission, number of terms in school, cause of deafness, age at which deafness occurred, deaf mute relations, parents related, nationality, trade at school, and remarks.
The reports from 1866 to 1900 are combined with those of the School for the Blind and the School for the Feeble-Minded.
