  First Commonwealth Colony Education Tasmania Blind Institute
Although schools in Tasmania were assisted by the government from 1817, when Thomas Fitzgerald was given a subsidy for education on the condition that he admitted poor children free, the government did not take full responsibility for any school, other than those attached to the convict system, until 1839 (Sprod 1984, p.18).
Education was viewed as having a moral benefit to the colony whose ‘adults were sunken too deeply in vice to be reclaimable’ (Phillips 1985, p.11).
The Education Department contributed to the tuition fees and board for education at the institute, and after 1925 took responsibility for the payment of teachers (Griffiths 1983, p.2).
