AT 3 That unusual experiments to solve the problem of teaching the deaf will soon be tiied out at the Columbia School for the Deaf at Kendall Green by the National Research Council the statement of David White, of geologist of the National Researc Council, vesterday in an_address to students ‘of the George Washington University Summer School “The training of Helen Kellar and other brilliant deaf children shows the possibilities of teaching through use of the contact sensory nerves and vibrations,” said Mr. White. “Mean- while the astounding unfolding of electrical devices du.ing the last six years brings to Hght apparatus s gesting special improvements that | may bring words, speech and normal maturity of compiehension, as well as expression, to larze groups of the | deaf with a very small instructing stafr.” 1t is hoped, Mr. White asserted, that in the future, with the introduc- tion of the electrical devices, the time and money involved in teaching the deaf will be but slightly more than that for normal persons. At present it takes about three vears for the deaf to learn oral speech. PHONE RATE INCREASE | Cumberland Mayor to Be Chairman of Meeting in Baltimore July 23. Special Dispatch to The Star.
