     By an act approved February 12, 1866, the legislature authorized and required the governor to make proper arrangements with the state of Iowa, or some other state, looking to the education of all deaf mutes and blind children between the ages of 12 and 20 years. One individual only seems to have profited by this act (see governor's message, January 8, 1869, Neb. House journal, 1869, p. 20) at no expense to the state in 1866-68 of $352.91, $600 having been appropriated

     By an act approved February 7, 1867, the legislature incorporated an Institute for the deaf and dumb, naming six individuals as directors. This board was to make proper provision for the care of the deaf and dumb in the state. The act located the institution at Omaha, or within three miles of the court house, and authorized the board of directors to purchase sufficient land, not to exceed fifty acres, and to erect the necessary buildings. An appropriation of $6,000 was made therefor, also $600 was set aside for care of deaf and dumb. A further act approved June 5, 1871, authorized this board of directors to "erect upon grounds near the city of Omaha, donated to the institute for that purpose, a building to be used as an institute for the deaf and dumb" and an appropriation of $15,000 made therefor.

     The name of this institution was changed by act of the legislature of 1909 from "Institute for the deaf and dumb" to "Nebraska school for the deaf."

     "All deaf and dumb residents of the state, and those deaf to such an extent that they cannot acquire an education in the common schools of the state, of suitable age and capacity and of good moral character, shall be entitled to an education in the institute for the deaf and dumb without charge."

NEBRASKA SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND

NEBRASKA CITY

     The institute for the blind was established at Nebraska City by in act of the legislature approved February 19, 1875. The citizens of Nebraska City were to raise $4,000 and turn the amount over to the board of trustees. The institute was located on ten acres of land and within one mile of the court house of the city. The legislature of 1897 placed the Institute for the blind and the Nebraska school for the deaf under one governing board.

     This institution has been defined by statute and by a court decision (43 Neb. 184) to be an educational institution, not an asylum. Secretary Joel A. Piper, of the board of charities and corrections reported on November 30, 1912, as follows.

     "The enrollment at the institution is gradually declining, and this is one of our state institutions that is not overcrowded. This, in a measure, may be attributed to the medical inspection which is now given pupils in the public schools, as many people become blind from causes that might be prevented if attention were given them at the proper time."

     The statute provides that "all blind persons and those blind to such an extent that they cannot acquire an, education in the common schools of the state, of suitable age and capacity and of good moral character, shall be entitled to an education in the institution for the blind without charge."
