NEW-YORK INSTITUTION FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. Situated on Fiftieth-street, near the Fourth Avenue, At a distance of somewhat more than three and a half miles from the City Hall. The grounds occupied by the Institution extend from the Fourth to the Fifth Avenue, and from Fiftieth to near Forty-Eighth-street. The Institution was incorporated by the Legislature of the State, April 15, 1817. The School, however, was not opened till May of the following year. For several years the School was kept in the old Alms-House, so called, in the Park, the boarding pupils living with their teachers, in hired houses, in the city. The foundation of the present main building was laid in October, 1827, the site having been given by the Corporation of the city. The building then erected, and occupied for the first time, in April, 1829, was one hundred and ten feet by sixty, and four stories high, including the basement. It has since been enlarged by repeated additions to more than double the capacity of the original edifice, and now presents a front of two hundred and ten feet on Fiftieth-street, the extreme depth of the wings being ninety feet. The building is of brick and stuccoed, appearing at a distance like white marble. The management of the Institution is entrusted to the Board of Directors, twenty-five in number, elected annually by the Society. The President, Harvey P. Peet, LL. D., who has been connected with the Institution since 1831, has the general direction and control of its concerns, with the counsel and advice of the Executive Committee. Associated with him, in the intellectual department, are eleven Professors and Teachers. In the domestic department, are a Physician, Steward, Matron and Assistant, and, in the mechanical department, a Book-binder, Cabinet-maker, Tailor, Shoemaker and Gardener. Five hours each day are devoted to school exercises, independent of the evening studies, and between three and four hours to the various trades. The daily exercises of the School are opened and closed with prayer; and religious services are held on the Sabbath, conducted by the President and Professors in rotation. At the date of the last Annual Report (the Thirty-First) there were two hundred and twenty-two pupils under instruction, supported as follows:-one hundred and sixty by the State of New-York; nine by the State of New-Jersey; sixteen by the City of New-York; twenty-eight by their friends; one by the Commissioners of Emigration, and eight by the Institution. It is the design of the Institution to educate the whole man-to develope and cultivate the powers of the body, mind, and heart. And it has been eminently successful. Nearly seven hundred individuals, some of them very unpromising specimens of humanity, have participated in its advantages, and gone forth with scarcely an exception qualified, in a good degree, to discharge the various duties of social life; capable of self-support, industrious, honest, happy, respected, and not a few animated by the hopes of a future life where physical infirmity shall be unknown. The following is a list of the Directors of the Institution, and of those employed by them in the more immediate management of its concerns: |
