A preliminary conference of deaf-mute instruc- tors was held last evening at the Institution for the Instruction of Deaf-Mutes, at Lexington avenue and 6rth street. Prof. A. Graham Bell, of Washington, the inventor of the Bell telephone, and the princt. pals of the Clarke institute for deaf-mutesin North- ampton, Mass, tho Horace Mann school for the deat in Boston, the Portland, Me., day school tor deat-mutes, and the oral branch ofthe Pennsylva- nia institution for the deat and dumb in Phila- adelphia were present. The object of the meeting was to make the necessary arrangements for & convention of all Amertean, Instructors who are engaged in educating deaf mutes, after the meth of teaching articulation and Up-reading. There are at present over one hundred such teachers in the United States and Canada, The proposed conven- Hon, the ‘frst of its kind, ts to be held in thts city in the coming summer. In this country the obso- lete method of signs and the manual alphabet 15 still used in many institutions. There are over seven thousand deaf-mute puplis in attendance in Afty-eight schools that are supported by the differ- ent states of the Union, and only about ten per cent of these are taught to use thelr volces. Prof. Bell's interest in this movernent 1s explained by the facts that his wife s one of the best spectmens of what ip-reading can do for the deaf, and that he intro; duced in this country a untversal alphabet called visible speech,” of which his father is the inven- tor, and which deplets the actions of the vocal or alls in the utterance of the speech sounds. + ‘The Maryland Legislature. ‘THE FISHERY AND OYSTER INTERESTS, ETC.
