Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Visitors of the Virginia Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb and of the Blind, 1840 In my endeavours to promote, in every way, the intellectual, moral and religious advancement of my pupils, I have been most efficiently and constantly aided by Mr. J. Turner, teacher in my department, and himself deaf and dumb. During the year he has faithfully taught the lessons prescribed by me, and has, at all times, held up before the pupils the guiding and animating light of a good example. Approaching the close of one year from the commencement of the school, I cannot conclude this report of its condition, without an expression of gratitude to the Author of all good for the success which has attended our efforts to instruct the deaf and dumb committed to our care, for the good health which has prevailed, and for the remarkably correct behaviour of all the pupils. No instance of severe or protracted illness has occurred, and so successful has been the use of mere moral means in the government of the pupils, that in no instance has a resort to corporal punishment been necessary. That the blessing of God has so manifestly attended this attempt to instruct the deaf and dumb of Virginia, on Virginia soil, will, I am sure, be gratifying to you and to all other friends and benefactors of the unfortunate throughout our state. Appended to this report, you will find a list of the pupils in my department, the time of their admission, and their respective places of residence. In reference to the specimens of original compositions by the pupils, it is due both to the instructors and to the pupils, to state that the irregular entrance of pupils has added greatly to the labours of teaching, and has, at the same time, been a serious drawback upon the progress of the classes in their various studies.
