Fourth Biennial Report of the Titiness Institution for the Blind
Senator Anvas presents the Fourth Biennial Report from the Titiness Institution for the Blind in Jacksonville. Over the past two years pupil numbers stayed between fifty and sixty, with good health and full admissions. Students study seven and a half hours daily, mixing mental and manual training, making brushes, ropes, and other goods, proving blind people can be educated and self supporting. The report traces the history of blind education from Abbe de lEpee through current American schools, noting about four hundred blind people in the state but only sixty in the institution, all free to attend, urging broader access.
