Synopsis
Excerpt from Fourteenth Report (Fourth Biennial) Of the Board of Visitors of the Kentucky Institution for the Education of the Blind: To the General Assembly of Kentucky, for the Years 1858 and 1859
The Director is aided in the management and instruction of the school by a matron and two teachers, who reside in the institution.
Mrs. Paris, the matron, has filled that responsible office for more than ten years. In addition to her duties as housekeeper, including the superintendence of the servants, she has the supervision of the clothing of the pupils, and the care of the pupils themselves, in all cases of illness. The duties of the matron are exceedingly onerous, and we would deem it our duty, if the means of the institution justified the expense, to employ an assistant matron, especially at times when the pupils are visited by sickness.
In the department of instruction we have secured the services of skillful and faithful teachers, who are earnestly devoted to the moral and intellectual improvement of the pupils.
