The object of this Supplemental Schedule is to furnish material
not only for a complete enumeration of deaf-mutes, but for an
account of their condition. It is important that every inquiry
respecting each case be answered as fully as possible. Enumerators
will, therefore, after making the proper entries upon the Population
Schedule (No. 1), transfer the name (with Schedule page and number)
of every deaf-mute found, from Schedule No. 1 to this Special
Schedule, and proceed to ask the additional questions indicated in
the headings of the several columns. Care must be taken not to
enumerate persons who are deaf only (hard of hearing) or dumb only
(tongue-tied) as deaf-mutes. A deaf-mute is one who cannot speak,
because he cannot hear sufficiently well to learn to speak.
Enumerators may obtain valuable hints as to the number of
deaf-mutes, and their residence, from physicians who practice
medicine in their respective districts, also from school-teachers.
Great assistance may be derived from questions addressed to
deaf-mutes themselves: Do you know any deaf-mutes in this
neighborhood? The class feeling of the deaf and dumb, arising from
their isolated state, is so great that they seek each other out for
the sake of companionship and ordinarily know every deaf-mute for
miles around.

NOTE A – A deaf-mute may be found either
at his own home or away from it in some educational institution,
asylum, or poor-house. In the latter case, his residence when at
home must be stated, in order that he may be accredited to the State
or county to which he properly belongs, and that the county in which
the institution is situated may not be charged with more than its
due proportion of deaf-mutes.
NOTE B – If self-supporting, say
“yes;” if partly self-supporting, say “partly;” if not, say “no.”
Indicate all inmates of institutions who are maintained or treated
at their personal expense (not at the expense of any town, county,
or State, nor of the institution) by the word “Pay.”
NOTE C – If
a deaf-mute from birth, say “B;” if idiocy occurred after birth,
state the age at which deafness occurred. Special pains should be
taken to indicate all
deaf-mutes from birth.
NOTE D – The word
“semi-mute” has a technical meaning, and denotes a deaf-mute who
lost his or her hearing after having acquired at least a partial
knowledge of spoken language. Some semi-mutes retain the ability to
speak imperfectly, others lose it entirely. If a deaf-mute has ever
learned to speak, he is a semi-mute; (unless he was artificially
taught to speak in an institution for deaf-mutes.) By a semi-deaf
person is meant one who cannot hear sufficiently well to comprehend
what is said to him but who hears very loud sounds, such as thunder,
etc.
NOTE E – In making entries in columns 14, 15, and 16, an
affirmative mark only will be used, thus /.
