Public and Private Schools for Educating These Unfort- unates, Prof. Snyder's Method of Teaching Them to Converse Articu- lately. _ The Philosophy of tho System Exem- pilfied by Preetice. How tho Pupils Are Managed in the Pub- lio Schools, When tho prophet, foretolling the Joyful ourishing of Christ's Kingdom, predicted that the Longue of the dumb should sing, lls inystieal lore doubtless had Just enabled him to seo the successfil efforts to be mad In the present century to teach those unbiessed with the native power of speach aud hearing to communicate with the rest of the world, not through the usual deaf and dumb slgn-man- ual, but with the uttered tanguage employed by the more fortunate of ntankind, * There haye been known from time to tling eases of extraordinary power In this Jing possessed by deaf and dumb persons, and an amusing Incident in oxemplification is told in tho life of Alexander Graham Bell, tho famous electrician. Mr. Bell, while attend- ings social gathering, made the nequaint- ance of n young lady with whose conversa- tional charms he was so struck, that he not only passed the greater part of the evening in her society but, when the party broke up, solicited the privileze of escorting her home, which was granted, To his surprise, after they had reachod the street, ho found that his talkative young friend fatled to make any further response to his remarks, and, finally¢shoe putan end to the awkward situation by nequalnting htm with the fact that she had been both deaf and dumb, but had acquired the power of reading the words which her companions tuttered from the movements of their lips and also of re: plying to them through herstudied aequaint- ance With the results in sound of the ditfer- ent wovements of the vocal muscular re tem. In the lighted room she was a delight- ful talkers inthe dirk her conversational powers came to an enil, * Soremarkable a case as this could hardly have occurred, ava tine when no special efforts at education to this end were being made, unless with o woman ns its exponent, asthe masculine voleo could not well haye been{ascusily attuned as was the young lady's. And nowadays, when the lines of the mascu- line mouth are obscured by a plenitude of beard and mustache, itis doubttul whether in many cases the young Indy would not find it ditticult to catch cach word as it iy molded, Speelal efforts, most of which are reported tu have been successful, havo been made both in Europe and Amerlen to give clo- quence to the lips of the dumb, and in this city there is now belne conducted an expurl- ment in this Ino whieh, though ona modest. scale, {3 of & vory interesting nature. ‘Tha gentleman in charge of the work Is aGerman expert in the art of instructing the deaf aud dumb named Prof, Ad. Snyder, and his little school at No, 626 Larribee strect was visited yesterday by a Tiununy reporter, who for an hour watchod: the. patient progress ho made in teaching-his three young scholars. how to articulate sounds and words which they could not hear, and how to eatch the meaning of the, to them, equal- ly inaudible words which he himself uttered, + The scholars were a girl of 11 and two boys ef Oning years of age each. Of these, two wero quite bright, but the third—one of tha boya—was decidedly dull of comprehension, i TU AFTERNOON SESSION 6f the school began atl p.m. Tho children gathored their slates and pencils and tool ‘beaty at the vacant sides of the tnblc, and the Professor at once began operations, 3 . “Pronounce and write down ‘phew,’” ho ‘gald to the puplls, who, Ina chorus, ejaculut- ed the sound very readily and with remark able clearness, after. which they ‘wrol he Ahiers representing the sound upon thelr vlates. ie Now give uf breathing sound ‘ha,’” ie said. + ‘The dull boy gotit right first time, which leased the Professor greatly; the others, owever, failed, the girl giving tho sont “ka” and tho boy the sound “ok.” ‘Tho Professor shook his head and laughed, re- peated tho sound, and this time all threo ut- tered it correctly. _ & Now let us have the sound ‘th? Tho boys gotitright; tho girl omitted an overpowerlngly nasal sound ina tone of in- quiry, which showed two things—that sho Nad Adoubtas to the correctness of her at- tempt, and that sie knew how to elevate her yoice when asking a question, Tho Pro- fessor said “No,” in answer to her, when Bhe tried again and rendered the proper sound, ; ‘The Professor then handed round a num: ber of small slips of cardboard upon which had been written letters and combinations of letters. ‘Tho first ono he drow thelr attention to was the combination sh,” which.

Sti it was clearthnt the musemlar effort had been correetly di- Fected by all of thom, and that onty practice ‘was required to tone and modify tho utter- ance, Addressing himself to the reporter, the Professor explained that the teaching of the consonants Waa a very easy matter ta com. ared with the vowels, which, In the English language, having. so man; distinet, sounds, required the preparation ofa set of churac ters, He then unrolled a chart containing tho characters representing the various vowe sounds, and oxerelsed his pupils in thelr pro- minclation, ‘The youngsters. did very well, and the “ahs.” and “ols,” and ‘oos and “os."and “és” and “aus,” and “als,"called out, with an oceasional egregious blunder here there, In very good form. It was clear, how= Sven, chatthe exercise Was a much henyler. mental strain upon the children than any they had previously undergone. They worked hardatit. ‘The dull boy was alilte often at fault, and the girl's propensity to make hor nose the passageway for sounil frequently croppedout, When tila occurred ha Professor shook his head good natured.

And their ldens were very flew nnd straggling, or at loast they could not express then, My first task was to write the Ainaller letters of the alfabet on the blackboard and drill each of the pupils tito inaking the corresponding letter of the deaf- mute manital alfabet wilh the fingers. This esercise 1s persisted In until the are able to. finger out tne entire wlfabel with ease and rapidity. ‘Then the names of afew fiuniliar objects are taugh—such as box, hat, cup, cow, dog, hen, ete..—and they are made to commit them to memory, ‘They freshown the picture of the object, or tho object itself, and a suggestive stn is given for the object thus presented to them.

The signs dictated by the tencher are tho ar- Ditrary signs mentloned above, given in the order that the words in, the sentence occtr. ‘The pupils are required to give the corre- sponding words in writing or finger spelling. ‘This is not much different from anlnteriinear translation of a Latin work Jn which tho order of the Latin words Is changed to innke tho corresponding English words arrange {nto properly-consiricted sentences, At present this method is generally discarded and 1 abandoned it before tho close o: the Jast session. Tho disadvantage of this method was that it taught the puplls to rely upon the teacher almost entirely for gnid- ance In. the construction of sentences with the vocabulary of words they have acquired, ‘That is, when thoy are asked to frame n sen- tence, no matter how sluple, they are utterly unable to proceed unless the teacher gives the proper sien in the proper place; so that they can translate the sentence trom his algun dictation, Lam now following a system that is outlined in Keep's * First Lessons for Deat Mutes.’ ‘Lhe plan ts to teach them to write ag the first thing, They ure first taught to write thelr own pained, and thon that of tho teacher, and then tho names of tholr schoolmates, Then they are taught how” to. ‘describe simple. actions, #irst tho pupll is requires to walle across the room, and by dint of persevering explanation he ls made to inderstand that. hedid the walking and thatthe word for him- self was “1% ‘Then the word “walked”? is written and explained to nim until he ts able to use it correctly. Then the teacher walks acrogs the floor and the pupil’s atten- tlon Is called to the fact that some one clao ald the walking and that he imust give the nine of the person who walked, ‘This ex- erelsu is continued through several other shinplo actions, such as running, Jumping, houping, kicklng, stamping, striking, pulling, pushing, ete. After the pupil is familiar with this he is taught such sentences as *I went to Frank, ‘Frank went to George,’ George cnins to me,’ ete, which simply do- seriby the changes that arise in describing the motions of the pupils in shifting thelr posi- Uons, L should say, too, that the last exercise was preceded ty teaching them to deseriba aueh actions as lifting, pulling, pushing, and throwing objects around the room. This enables moto teach them tho names of the various objects: In the school room, Me shifting of position is followed by making the puplis carry objects to cach other, nud they describe cach with such gentences ‘ns ‘1 carried a knife to Willie’; * Mary brought a knife to mo’; ‘Mary carried a knife to Willie,’ ete, each pupll being re- quired to write the sentence that lg appro. priate for him, according to tho part he toak nthe proceedings, ‘They are thus trained rve the changes required in sentences inorder to properly describe different nc- Uons; and they are niso trained to depend upon themselves for Information as to where to put the different words they have got hold of, ‘This is followed by making them carry to each other objects varying in size, number, color, and other attributes, The pupils aro then taught to write out simple stories that the tenchor recites In signs. At first the Stories are short, and the pupils are not allowed to write until the teacher hus finished . telling the story, ‘Tho object of this is to exercise the mem- ory and wWso to train thom to put words In thelr’ proper places, I have not Rok muel further than this with the elnss.

The teacher gave tho gitl a knife and motioned to her to take It to tho boy, ‘This done, they both started writing again, aud this thne they both got it right at the first attempt, the girl writing, “L enrrled a knife to George,” and the boy, * Louisa brought a knife to me?

The teacher shook his head violently; the boy looked over what he liad written and filfed In the preposition nud article necessary to complete the sense, ‘The tencher gave the dull boy a knife, and by tho sign-manual and gesture ordered itm to put it Lite his (the teacher's) pocket. ‘The boy, after senson of doubt and hesitation, obeyed the order, and then WROTE A DESCRIPTION of what he had done on hissinte, It ran ns foliows:, “I put Into a knife my Sr, George's pocket,” ‘This was very bad, and so the teacher gave. the boy to understand, after which he desired tho reporter's close attention to. the method by which he would muke his yupil acqualnted with the nature of his errot. He brought hin up to tho blackbunrd and drew a square upon itin wileh the boy wrote tha simple word “put.” Mr. George then wrote nbove aqunre the word “ who?” and tho - boy pla the personal pronoun “1” before the verb, Mr, George then drew another square connecting with tho previous one at the lower right hand corner and wrote above It the worl “Whale?

After a few tore expositions of the meth od of instruction, the reporter expressed tine self as satisfied with the performance, which came ton close, and the teycher, who Reemed to have gained both the lofe and eontldence of his punts, gathered them around him, and startud pleasuntly and patiently to work aguln.
