(H) EDUCATION OF EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN.

The State maintains for the care and education of delinquents the State Industrial School, at Fort Grant. Both boys and girls are provided for in this institution, which is under the management of the board of control of the State penitentiary and insane hospital.

The legislature appropriates $5,000 annually for the care of persons deaf, dumb, or blind, who are of sound mind, and whose parents are unable to provide for their education. The State board of education is authorized to contract with a State having an institution for the education of the blind for the care of blind Arizona children properly certified by the census marshals and the county superintendents. The rate must not exceed $350 a year per capita.

The law provides that the University of Arizona shall admit to the School for the Deaf properly certified applicants afflicted with either deafness or dumbness, and provide for their education, board, and lodging. A school is maintained for these children on the campus of the university. The maximum amount allowed the university is $250 a year per capita.
