DEAF SCHOLARSHP INCREASE SOUGHT House Education Committee Considers Boost to 145 for Gallaudet. Members of the House Committee on Education are considering a bill, passed by the Senate; fo increase the! scholarship numbers-at the Columbia Institute for the Deaf from 125 to 145, the first increase since 1918 Some time ago Secretary of In- | terior Ickes wrote to Senator David I. | Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts, as chairman of the Senate Committee on Education and Labor, asking for i the increase in the number of stu- dents at this institution. According to President Percival Hall, president of the institution, some 36 States of the Union now have native-born students there. Created in 1857. This celebrated educational insti- tution known as Gallaudet College, was created by act of Congress, Febru- ary 16, 1857. It just finished celebrat- ing its 78th anniversary. Congress has always restricted the number of beneficiaries at Gallaudet. The original limit was 40 students. Later that number was expanded to 60, then to 100, and finally in 1918 to 125. Under the terms of the bill now before the Education Committee of the House, to be voted on soon, this number would be increased to 145. “All our people are hard hit,” Dr. Hall said yesterday. “They need this opportunity. Most of our students come from homes in which the par- ents are not well to do. A very large | percentage must be assisted by scholarships. All the scholarships | this year were taken up. Only 20 or 30 will be vacated by graduation. At | the beginning of each year the insti- tution is asked to accept some 40 new students. It is necessary that the number of scholarships be in- creased.” 1,900 Students Educated. In the course of its existence, Gal- Jaudet has given higher education to more than 1,900 students. Of these, nearly 1,000 received degrees. Because of educational opportunities given them at Gallaudet these young per- sons have become self-sustaining. They are now engaged in various pur- suits: the arts, agriculture, commerce and all branches of trade. Some are doing missionary work to the deaf. | Others are teaching the deaf. Some | are in Government service. Practi- | cally all of them, Dr. Hall said, “have made good.” i Secretary Ickes figures the cost of a | scholarship at Gallaudet, where the | students come from out of town, at; somewhere near $750 a year. | P | NEW WOOL DEGREASING PROCESS IS ANNOUNCED Borted Material Is Subjected to 40 Degrees Below Zero.
