But the testimony of great num- bers, who have been so taught, is that their intellectual development has been nar- rowed and retarded by the refusal, on the part of their teachers, to make use of that language which is theirs by nature. “My experience with the deaf, and my Kife-long familiarity with their peculiar lenguage, lead me to accept this testimony as the statement of a general truth, and to express the hope that the day {s not dis- tant when the natural language of the deaf will have its proper place in every school, as the German deaf mutes demand, and as many German teachers recommend. The Sign Langeage. “Dii the limitations of the present hour permit. it would be interesting to discuss that language of signs, which is condemned in certain quarters as unworthy to be 2m- ployed in the education of the deaf; but there is only time for me to call attention to the fact that to the totally deaf lip- reader the spe2ch of others is nothing else than a series of silent signs. To the totally deaf the movements of the vocal organs “Tt is indeed po: are signs for words, never the words them es. So it appears that for the deaf the natural substitute for the lan- guage of sound, even under the oral meth- oa, is one of signs, visible to the eye, under- stood by the mind only through th2 power of vision. And when a teacher, prohibiting signs of the hand and arm, which are de- scriptive. often presenting graphic pictures of the ideas to be expressed, and which are used and loved by the deaf the world ever, limits his pupils to the restricted, often minute and always arbitrary signs made by the mouth in speaking, is he not by a process neither wise nor kind, nar- rowing the range of the mental vision of ypic to the mi- eroscopic “The di @ of the language of signs to af while in schools takes away one source of keen enjoyment and aluable instruction they can ill afford. to and which cannot be s2cured by them in any other way. Sign Language God-Given. “This is the giving of lectures and ad- dresses to the whole body of pupils in a school We who hear know what pleasure comes from listening to an eloquent, ear- nest spaker; how the attention is absorbed and the feelings are stirred. ‘There is but one way of Imparting this pleasure to the deaf in equal force and measure as it comes to us through sound. This by employing tke natural, God- givan language of the deaf, developed, as it i ur country, through many rs of cultivation and use. “In the college it has long been the cus- tom to give the students lectures in this language. Not only is this dene by the pro- fessors who are naturally ad>pts In the art of gesturing, but frequently eminent men who know not the sign language address our students through an interpreter. “Within a short time they have had the pleasur3 and profit of s from General 3 . man and Senator hich would have been impossible 2 : rule of ing the language of signs been adopted in the college “I am awar> that it is claimed for deaf readers that they can attend church and public lectures and the theater, ing what ts said as well as thos hear. “That a few of the most expert can ap- proximate to this, under conditions quite impossibl> to a considerable number assem- bled in one place, fs not denied. But noth- ing is more certain than that it is Impossi- ble for any large proportion of, say, two hundred deaf persons, assembled in one place, to follow understandingly one who attempts to address thom orally. “With the substitution of the manual al- phabet for the language of signs the condi- © do who tions are perhaps less unfavorable. But the eye strain is so much greater, the radius of vision so much smaller and the power of expression so much restricted and diminish- ed that the advantage lies greatly with the employment of the language of signs. Signs Convey as Speech. “Thinking that the question may arise in the minds of some, ‘Does the sign language give the deaf. when used in public ad- Gresses, all that speech affords to the hear- ing? I will say that my experience and observation lead me to answer with a de- cided affirmative. On occasions almost without number !t has been my privilege to interpret through signs to the deaf ad- dresses given in speech. I have addressed hundreds of assemblages of deaf persons in the college and in schools that I have visited, using signs for the original ex- Pression of thought. I have seen many more lectures and public debates given originally in signs. I have seen conventions ef deaf mutes in which no word was spok- en, and yet all the forms of parliamentary proceeding were observed, and the most earnest and even excited discussions were carried on. I have seen the ordinances of religion administered and the full services of the church rendered in signs; and all this with the assurance growing out of my own complete understanding of the lan- guage—a knowledge which dates from my earliest childhood—that for all the pur- poses above enumerated gestural expression is in no respect inferion, and is in many re- Spects superior, to oral verbai utterance a5 4 means of communicating ideas. A Cruel Deprivation. “Before turning to another subject I wish to say to the friends of any deaf persons whose teachers, in their zeal to give them the power of speech, may have rejected the ianguage of signs as a means of in- struction and may have advised their pu- pils never to learn nor to use it, in a vain ambition to make them ‘just like hearing people,” that by such a course they have subjected them to a lifelong deprivation, which can hardly be measured, the cruelty of which remains In spite of the fact that it was intended as a kindness. “In closing this brief consideration of the deaf and their possibilities time only re. mains to speak in some detall of the meth- ods used in the education of this class of Persons, and to show, if possible, which methods or what combination of methods deserve the favor and support of the com- munity. Methods of Teaching Deseribed. “There are three quite distinct methods im general use at the present time: The manual, the oral and the auricular, which I have named in the order of their adapta- bility. That is to say, all deaf mutes can be educated by the manual method, less re- | derstand- | than all by the oral, and only a small pro- pertion by the auricular. “The last named, as will be easily under- siood, is employed only with those who have more or less hearing. Hearing tubes and other appliances for helping defecti af, or acquire it easily through the aid of their hearing. n children, after a reasonable term in schocl, cease to be deaf mutes in any sense, and should be enumerated ‘n the census as persons ‘hard of hearing.’ “Under the manual method no attempt is rt the power of speech to who lack it—but through the aid of the language of signs, the manual alphabet and writing, the intelligence of the children is awakened and developed, and a full ecmmand of verbal language is given, the ability to use text books is acquired’ and the door is opened to as complete a grasp of the curriculum of school and college, as is p e to children and youth in the possession of all their faculties. “All the deaf, without exception, may be educated by this method, the only limit tions being their lack of purpose and indus- try, or of mental capacity. The Oral Method. “There are teachers of the deaf who do not hesitate to claim that all the deaf may ve educated under the oral method. From remarks made near the opening of this pa- per you will have understood that my ex- perience makes it impossible for me to ad- mit the justice of this claim. Yo question connected with the educa- tion of the deaf has received more careful or prolonged investigation at my hands than this. And the ¥ zea.ous ad enthusiastic teachers are misled is not far to seek. “Repeatedly, m visiting oral schools and oral ses, I have asked that all the pupils in a class be allowed to read aloud to me from a book with which they were familiar, but of the contents of which I was ignorant. Such tests have invariably disclosed the following conditions: “Certain of the children I would under- stand fully, others only partially, and quite a proportion not a single word. At my re- port on these last the teacher would ex- press great surprise and say, ‘Why, I un- derstood every word,’ quite oblivious of the fact that the dafly intercourse of the class room gave a meaning to what to a stranger was gibberish. The proportion of children in an oral school whe s of the deaf are received who would be stamped as failures under such a simple test as I have described is by no means small. And to these must be added others whose fail- ure would be less marked, but whose suc- cess would be so limited as to suggest plainly the inadequacy of the method pur- sued. “In determining then the matter of methods shall it be said that because only a small portion are capable of success under the auricular method, and a larger portion under the oral, those two methods sould be abandoned and the manual alone eaployed, because under it alone all the deaf can be educated? A Happy Solation. “Surely this course would be far from wise; and happily a solution has been reached in the leading schools of our coun- try which is at once scientific, practical and in harmony with sound principles of peda- gogy. “The capabilities of each child are careful- ly tested, often by prolonged trial, and that method applied which is suited to the pe- culiarities of each case. If an amount of hearing is found above a certain minimum, the child is taught by the auricu “If promising success in speech is gained the oral method is chosen, and when such success is not attained the manual method is resorted to. “By this process in a large school the ca- rity and lack thereof of every child may be considered and humanely met, and a system of education carried ‘forward broader than any single method and infin- itely more elastic. ‘This combination of methods is known in the terms of our professional vocabulary as the combined system, and at this time nine-tenths of the deaf children of the country are being educated thereunder. “In the light of present experience a school for the deaf which limits itself to the employment of a single method must be regarded as inadequately equipped for doing the work that may properly be de- manded of it. This is the severe but just criticism brought against the German schools as a whole by $00 of their gradu- ates in their petition to the emperor for re- form. No success in Individual cases nor in schools of selected pupils; no enthusiasm of well-meaning teachers nor of others less honest, should be allowed to mislead the public, as it has often done in this matter. A High Authority Quoted. “Lest the language just used should seem to some unwarranted, and therefore un- fair, i will give a recently published utter- ance from one of the most prominent in- structors in Germany, Edward Walther, director of the Imperial Institution’ at Ber- lin. Though a supporter of the oral meth- od, Mr. Walther makes no extravagant claims for its results, and has only words of condemnation for those who do. “Since it is hardly possible,’ he says, ‘that they deceive themselves, thelr object must be to deceive others.’ ‘In that de- ception he, as an honest man, will have no part. ‘We must openly and candidly con- fess,’ he continues, ‘that all we can do is imperfect work. What nature has lavish- ly bestowed on the hearing person we can- not give to the deaf mute. We cannot be- stow on him a power of speech which in clearness, euphony and extent approaches that of hearing persons. We cannot give him a means of understanding the speech of others which is anything more than a meager substitute for hearing.’ “And this is from the highest possible authority among living German oralists “The deaf are not of uniform and equal capacity. No hard and fast rule can be laid down under which they are all to be edueated or fail of securing an education. “Each of the two leading methods, once bitterly opposed, has its advantages and its superior merits for certain cases. “If the public will accept the judgment of the very large majority of experienced instructors in our country, as expressed in the policy of the schools in which nearly all the deaf children of the country are be- ing educated at this time, there will soon be no single-method schools remaining to excite hopes that must be disappointed, wasting time in vain efforts to realize the unattainable. “And it is no idle boast to say that the system prevailing generally in the schools of the United States for the deaf today gives far more satisfactory results, afford- ing the pupils more advanced and better training than is secured in any other coun- try.” Dr. Gallaudet’s address was loudly ap- plauded. Mr. John Eaton, one of the incorporators of the N. E. A., and formerly United States commissioner of education, was then intro- duced and gave an interesting review of education and gold up in Alaska. The Common School. ‘The next speaker was the Rev. A. D. Mayo of this city, who treated of the les- scns gleaned. from American educational history. The American common school, he said, was the most original and “ctfaracteristic development of American civilization, and the first attempt of a united people to edu- cate itself for a republican form of govern- ment and soelety. The colonies of Massa- chusetts bay and Connecticut struck the ote of American civilization in their tundamental idea of a special and supreme personal obligation to Almighty God, which cuthorized the responsible people to establish support and administer the church, the school, and, as far as possible, the state. This was the most valuable contribution of New England to the na- tonal life. For this reason, the people of these states were able to outgrow. in suc- cession, the European elements in their system of the schools, and, under their great leaders of half a century ago. lead country in the establishment of the present system of universal education from the district school to the state univers'ty. The American common school, as we now have it, was built up by the people of the United’ States led by the common school edvcational public in every state. The people beve used the educators, the clergy, the politicians and statesmen, the press and all the national agenctes of reform, Lut have been indebted to no one of thert tor this great achievement. Solved the Religious Question. The American common school system has g-own from the beginning by the adapta- tion and assimilation to itself of many valuable elements of good school keeping from abroad; but it has never adopted any audition are made use of. In the seating of a class, those with the most hearing | are placed furthest from the teacher. Chil- dren who possess sufficient hearing to be ucated under this method have either d the power of speech before becoming | element that conflicted with its own funda- mental ideas. It has steadily outgrown European ideas and habits which the suc- cessive groups of colonists and immigrants brought from home. Whatever may have been attempted to the contrary by special classes of scholars, educators, ecclesiastics or publicists, the people, as fast as they have become really assimilated to the ne- ticnal order of society and government, have refused to follow, and, from their own ranks, have elected leaders under whose direction they haye fatlen into line with the Arerican idea of universal education. Continuing, Dr. Mayo said: In the com- mon school, as in all departments of so- ciety and government, the people of the United States have reversed the European idea that education proceeds from the uni- versity downwards. For two hundred years the university and college held the common schoo! at arm’s length. The state university of today is an evolution from the original common school of 250 years ago. The American common school has solved the religious question in popular education by demonstrating that the American ver- sion of the new education is the most com- plete organization of the ideas and ideals of the absolute religion proclaimed and lived by the world’s great teacher, for the training of a whole people for a’ genuine republican civilization. Every feature of a superior Gommon school system responds to some fundamental principle and method of the universal gospel of love to God and man, without which a nationality like our own would be impossible. Man, the Symbol User. Superintendent Nathan C. Schaeffer of Harrisburg, Pa.. followed. His theme was, “Man, the Symbol User.” In no direction, he said, has man’s in- ventive genius done more to facilitate his work and nis intercourse with his fellow: men than in the inventicn of the synibols which he uses to facilitate thinking, and to aid the communication of thought to others. At every important step of pro- gress he invents and uses spoken and writ- ten signs and symbols to designate tae things with which he deals, to formulate and communicate the corclusions which ha has reached, to embody the new {de and thoughts Which he evolves, to en- shrine and transmit the intel-ectual treas- ures which he acquires. You might as wel: ask a workman to labor withovt tools as expect a human being to think withont these symbols, which have been justly nam- ed the tools of thought. It is impossible to teach well without perceiving the function of the symbol in all thinking and fn all school work. The sign and the thing signified, the symbol and the reality for which it stands, the word and the idea which it conveys, m:3 beccme so closely associated that’ pupil and-teacher speak of tie one as if it were the other, and the two are not kept dis tinct in the pupil's miml, often not in the teacher's thinking. Tne noun is said to be a name, just as if it were immaterial whether we say, “Nebuchadnezzar has a long noun or a long name.” Gender is speken of as if it were identical with sex. No distinction is made between tense and time, between mode and manner, between number in arithmetic und number ia gram- mar. Worse still, the pupii is often expect- ed to learn one thing when he fs taught another. He is expecied to get the dea of number from the figures which indicate number, the idea of the fraction from two figures with a line between them, the musical sounds from the notation on the musical staff, the sentiment of patriot- ism from a piece of bunting, religion from the symbol of the cross or the crucifix, and so on to the end of the chapter of pedagogical malpractic>. But the worst sin co:sists In withholding from a pupil the knowiedg» ef the sym- bol, and in requiring him to think in thirgs when he ought to be thinking in symbols. To insist that we must always pass from the idea to the word, would banish the best use of the dictionary from the school room, namely, that in wich a pupil looks up the meaning of new words. The flag is the symbol of our national life. The cross is the symbol of the Chris- tian’s faith and hope. When these are rightly used they become helps in ‘mpart- ing patriotism and Christianity and in fix- ing these potent ‘factors in the hearts and lives of the rising generation. eee ee CALIFORNIA WINS. City of the Angels Gets Next N. E. A. Convention, The “City of the Angels’ won out. The National Educational Association will ineet in Los Angeles in 1889, as foreshaduwed by The Star several days ago, In the meeting of the newly elected board of di- rectors yesterday afternoon’ Califutnias got the first inning 9n the call of states for presentacion of convention cities, and State Director Elmer E. Brown of California, after obtaining the floor, called upon J. A. Fashay to speik in his place. Mr. Fashay opened the bombardment in must flowery fashion. Los Angeles,” he said, “the land of sun- shins and of flowers, extends to you, dele- getes of the National Educational Associa- tion, her heartiest invitation for 189). The state of California, gentlemen, is noted for her hospitality, and you may rest assured that if you come to Lous Angeles the heartiest welcome will be yours. These of you who aitended the meeting in San Francisco in 1sss can testify to that. ot only the educators, but the genecal pub- le wish you to come, and the best of ar- Tangements can be had wita the hotels and wita the railroads. * Then he presented ietters of greeting and invitation from the governor of Calitorr and the prominent educators of the state. He drew a giowing word picture ot the beauties of Los Angeles and its near-by attractions, and promised about ever thing to its desired guests, a promise it will no doubt keep, a3 it nas a!ways done so in the past. Dr. J. M. Tanner of Salt Lake City open- ed his heavy guns next, and he said just as many nice things about Salt Lake City as had been said about Los Angeles. He promised the lowest of rates, the finest scenery, the great salt lake watering place attractions and a hospitality -unequaied. Mr. Frank Regler of Portland, Ore., brought up the rear with excellent support for Portland, Ore. He spoke of the unsur- passed summer climate und adduced the average statistics for twenty-five years of July weather, which showed that ‘Portiand had registered 73:5 degrees; Los Angeles, 83, and Sait Lake City, 88 degrees. The ladies, he said, could return by way of the Klondike. 0. C. Whiiney of Washington state pre- sented the claims of Tacoma. State Superintendent F. 8. Hafford of Arizona invited the delegation to Arizona. “We nave the biggest convention hall in the world,” he said. “It is 6,000 feet high, thirteen mies wide and 200 miles long” The lodging is absolutely free, and we warrant you that no rain will fail either on the just or the unjust. Now, we know that you haven't the nerve to accept all that for nothing, and so we will just ask you to drop in on us on your way to Los Angeles.” When the vote was taken Los Angeles Won, receiving 20 votes; Salt Lake got 12, Portland 8 and Tacoma 3. Delegates Shelderi of Massachusetts and Springer of Michigan announced that Bos- ton and Detroit would be candidates for the N. E. A. in 1900 and 1901, respectively. ——— THE NEWEST STATE. Utah’ Delegation Made Plea for Next Convention, Utah very much hoped to get the N. B. A. there in 1899, and sent a strong delega- tion of teachers to work for the coveted honor. The delegation was headed by Dr. J. F. Millspough, state superintendent of public instruction, who can talk a straight twenty-four hours on the beauties of na- ture and salubrity of climate in the Mor- mon state. The other members of the del- egation are Dr. J. M. Tanner, Dr. Kings- bury, Willlam Allison, Miss Grace Heikes, Miss May W. Pearse, Miss Nora Hjelm, Mr. and Mrs. G. D.

GOING ON A FREIGHT STEAMER Sir Wilfrid Laurier Accuses Them in Positive Terms. TONIGHT THEY DEPART a Senor du Bose, late secretary of the Spanish legation, and Lieutenant Carranza, military attache, will leave Montreal to- night by the Dominion steamer Ottoman, at the urgent and repeated request of the dominion government. The request was conveyed through Mr. N. C. St. Pierre, Q. C., who was: counsel for Messrs, du Bose and Carranza in the litigation. fol- lowing upon thevarrest of Detective Kel- lert on @ charge of stealing a letter from Lieutenant Carranza’s room. On June 9 Mr. St. Pierre received from the solicitor generaloan urgent summons to Ottawa. In am interview with the mem- bers of the government he was informed that the United States objected to the presence of his clients in Canada, and the dominion government wished, with as lit- tle fuss and trouble as was possible, to induce them to leave. Mr. St. Pierre re- plied that nothing could be done so long as the money of his clients in the Bank of Montreal was held under the capias issued at the instance of Detective Kellert, but that when their money was released he would see what they had to say about going. He returned to Montreal and con- sulted his clients, Du Bose's Protest. Senor du Bosc intimated his position to Mr. St. Pierre in a letter, in which he stated: “Without entering into the merits of the case 1 may mention that no attempt even beyond vague newspaper rumors has been made to connect me with the letter stolen from Mr. Carranza, the alleged contents of which form apparently the basis upon which my expulsion from Canada 1s founded. “The notorious injustice of this persecu- tion will be only too clear to your brilliant and legal intelligence. “As I have already stated, my acquies- cence in these arbitrary proceedings with- out @ present legal struggle, which could only result in my being authorized to en- Joy that British hospitality which it is an invariable tradition to extend to all for- eigners who observe the laws of the land, is not to be taken as an abdication of rights which upon a future and fitting oc- casion I shall promptly vindicate.” The government wished the Spaniards to leave at once, but the capias was not quashed until June 30, and on that very day Sir Wilfrid Laurier telegraphed urg- ing that the departure should take place on Saturday, July 2. The same day he wrote Mr. St. Pierre to the same effect, officially insisting upon the departure of his client. After stating that he had been furnished by Sir Julian Pauncefote with a photographic copy of the stolen letter, he continued: “The letter of Senor Carranza unequivo- cally states that he has been left In Canada to receive and send telegrams and to look after the spy system he was then estab- lishing. * “The action of Senor Carranza is a vlo- lation of the laws of the land, and I have therefore to request Senor Carranza to leave this country. I have to make the same request of Senor du Bose, who, from evidence in our hands, is an accomplice in the establishment of the spy service which was organized by Senor Carranza.” The Premier's Letter. Mr. St. Pierre communicated the pre- mier’s letter to Senor Du Bosc and received a reply on July 2, stating that they would Sail on the next steamer of the Dominion Line. In this letter he wrote: “I must, however, emphatically protest against the second paragraph of Sir Wil- frid’s letter, in which he states that the Secretary of State of the United States of America has given aicommunic ation to Sir Julian Pauncefote, her majesty’s ambassa- dor at Washington, of the original letter addressed by Senor ‘Carranza from Mon- treal on the 26th/of May last to the Span- ish minister of marine, and placed in his hands a photographte ‘copy of the same Which Sir Julian has transmitted to the Canadian government. This is completely false. Mr. Carranza has given me his word | of honor that the only letter stolen thus | far from him is a private one, addressed to Mr. Gomez Inez, a relation of his, employ- ed in the navy department at Madrid. ‘This statement of Mr. Carranza is corroborated by the alleged translation of the letter which I have seen published in the news- papers, “Further on in his communteation Sir Wilfrid Laurier permits himself to assert that ‘from evidence in our hands Senor Du Bose is an accomplice in the establishment of spy service, which was organized by Senor Carranza.’ This is a grave accusa- tion, and one which should not be legally made by a responsible statement. It will be incumbent upon Sir Wilfrid to prove the correctness of his written accusation upon a future occasion. A Hin Footsteps Dogged. “As regards the statement contained in Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s letter that ‘the action of Senor Carranza is a violation of the laws of the land,’ I can only say that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is equally mistaken in his law and his facts. “The only spy organization of which I have cognizance is that with which the government of the United States has sur- rounded and dogged me since I have been in Canada. Of this there is ample proof, Which I shall be delighted to submit to Sir Wilfrid whenever he may ¢o desire. “What confidence or credence can be placed in the representations of a govern- ment where diplomacy is based upon the utilization of criminal acts, I leave to the consideration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Canadian government. Some delay occurred in the arrival of this letter at Ottawa, and the government at once became uneasy. Telegrams passed to and fro. Sir Wilfrid Laurier inquired anx- jously “Has party left?” The party had not left. Senor Du Bose on July 2 expressed his intention to leave by the next steamer of the Dominion Line, leaving July 9. He was unable to do so be- cause he could not obtain passage on her, and Mr. Torrance wrote to the government to the effect that there was not a berth va- cant. As the government was so insist nt, how@ver, Senor Du Bose decided to sail on the Dominion steamer Ottoman, a large freight vessel, which has very little passen- ger accommodation, and he goes on board tonignt. He is very indignant at the treat- ment to which he has been subjected, and fays the government will hear from him again when the present troubles are over. On his arrival in Liverpool he (oritiin (ana awattioraeeiereans hie woreee ment before proceeding to Madrid. ~ a RED CROSS AT HONOLULU. The Society Formed to Care for ‘Troops on the Way to Manila. The Secretary of State has advised the War Department of the receipt of a dis- patch from the United States minister at Hawaii, dated the 11th ultimo, stating that a Red Cross Society has been formed there having for its immediate purpose the car- ing for the sick American troops passing through Hawaii to Manila, or whom it may be necessary to land on their return. The society is provided with funds, buildings and an efficient eorps of nurses. The following is a list of the officers of the society: President, Mrs. Harold M.
