Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biennial Report (Thirty-Third and Thirty-Fourth Annual Reports) Of the Department for Colored Blind and Deaf of the Maryland School for the Blind: For Period Ending June 30th, 1907 The Directors of the Maryland School for the Colored Blind and Deaf submit for your examination and approval the reports of the Superintendent and the Resident Principal, Since their last reports, Showing the work of the school and the cost of its maintenance. Previous to 1872 no provision was made for the education Of the Colored deaf or bind children of the State; and at that time when a number of philanthropic individuals petitioned the Legislature for an appropriation to establish a School of this character, their request was granted on condition that the new school become a part of one of the already existing schools for the deaf or blind. Accordingly the Maryland School for the Blind agreed to undertake the work as a depart ment of that school, with the understanding that its Board of Directors should be composed of three members of the Board Of the Maryland School for the Deaf and three from its own Board. Its organization and administration was confided to Mr. Frederick D. Morrison, the Superintendent of the Maryland School for the Blind, whose wise management of its affairs made possible the preliminary steps leading to its establish ment under the present favorable conditions. Established in 1872, among the first of its kind to open the door of opportunity to the colored deaf and blind, from a modest beginning with seven pupils, its enrollment has grown to number during the past session seventy-one pupils. Her home until 1879 was at 92 South Broadway, which becoming inadequate to the growing demands of the school, was disposed of and the Site at 649 West Saratoga Street secured. This plant was well adapted to the needs of the school until within the last few years. The increased number of pupils in attendance and the deterioration of the neighbor hood, have rendered it unfit for the purposes of the school.
