ROOSEVELT Concerning the possibility of a state school for the deaf. Typed Letter Signed: Franklin D. Roosevelt as Governor of New York, 1p, 8x9¾. It is impossible at this time to forecast what the future relation of the state to the schools for the deaf now under private management will be, for any plan looking toward the taking over of these schools as state institutions will necessarily include consideration not only of the Rome, Rochester and Malone schools which are mentioned in the clipping which you inclose (sic), but also the three schools in New York City.

It would be unfortunate to present to the Legislature a proposition affecting the future of these schools without first carefully considering the whole situation and consulting with the Directors of the several schools as well as the State Departments of Education and Social Welfare. Similarly, your suggestions as to a State Bureau of Labor for the Deaf and a State Home for Aged and Infirm Deaf will need a good deal of study before a conclusion can be reached as to whether such a bureau and home are necessary or desirable and, if so, in what way they can best be organized. I need hardly assure you that your suggestions will not be overlooked in connection with any further extension of the social welfare program of the state.

It was not until 1963, 34 years later, that New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller signed the law establishing The New York State School for the Deaf under the jurisdiction and control of the State Department of Education. Its primary object is to furnish to children of the state suffering from deafness or a combination of deafness and other handicaps and who may be expected to profit from instruction, such educational opportunities as will enable them, so far as practical, to become useful and well-adjusted citizens of the state.

The New York State School for the Deaf is located midway between Albany and Syracuse in the city of Rome. Lightly creased, not at signature. See more material from these signers.
