The recommendations which we most respectfully make for your Excellency's consideration are as follows :— 1. That a building be erected as a deaf-mute institution for the colony on a suitable site. 2. That in future the Director abandon the practice of taking private pupils or parlour boarders. 3. That the Education Department make fresh arrangements as to the board of pupils, so as to allow the Director to devote his whole time to education. 4. That more attention be paid to the technical and practical education of the children, both boys and girls. 5. That, with a view of rendering the supervision more systematic and effective than is now practicable, some local body or person be appointed to advise the Education Department on the management of the institution.
