The provision for the fiscal year 1914 was by Act March 4, 1913, c. 150, § 1, 37 Stat. 958. The appropriation for the fiscal year 1906, with a provision for the education of colored deaf-mute children belonging to the District in some other school made by Act March 3, 1905, c. 1406, § 1, is set forth post, § 9352. § 9352.
