Historical: The Iowa School for the Deaf was founded in 1885 in answer to the
demand that the deaf children of the state be given the same opportunity for an
education that was provided for those who could hear. Because such deaf children
are fewer and very much scattered, as well as to secure better grading, it was
found more economical to get them together and provide board as well as tuition.
The school was first located at Iowa City and later moved to Council Bluffs. n
1902 a fire completely destroyed the main building. A new modern, fireproof
structure has arisen in its place where sufficient room is provided for 300
pupils. A separate building to accommodate forty-five of the younger pupils is
also provided.
Iowa School for the Blind - Vinton
Superintendent, Francis Eber Palmer
Physician, J.E. Luckey, M.D.
Visiting Ophthalmic Surgeon, L.W. Dean, M.D., state university
The aim and purpose of the Iowa School for the Blind is purely educational. The
course of study includes not only the subjects required for admission to the
colleges and the university of the state, but also subjects that aim to prepare
our students for some of the occupations in which it has been demonstrated that
the blind are usually successful. After a pupil of this school reaches the high
school department, he is given some latitude in the choice of courses of study,
and in the making of his choice he always has the guidance and advice of
teachers and matrons. However, the courses are so arranged that a student who
chooses one course, say, one of the vocational courses of study, has the benefit
of subjects in other courses. In fact, both literary and industrial work is
required of all students.
