HEAR YE! Wonderful Work in Deaf Mute Instruction. Developing the Hearing Into Use Where it was not Thought to Exist. What Prof. Jchn A, Gillespie Has Done tor Humanity. Intoresting Facts About the Ne braska Iustitute for the Deaf and Dumb,. When the manual alphabat and vign language first roached the per- fection with which they are now tanght In the deaf and dumb inati- tutes of the world, humanitarians felt rejolced because a new era had dawned on the unfortunate, who had been bereft of hearing and speech. Those who had invented finger and object talking were halled as public benefac- tors, It was thought that nothihg more conld be doae for the benefit of the doaf mute, and so matters re- mained until lip langaage or visible spoech was experimented with, This was found to be a grand snccess, espe- satisfaction of having the hearing of the class so developed that they can read alond, understand upwards of 300 words and all phrases formed therefrom, make replles to questions given from the same vocabu- *|lary, sud their hearing, which was ractically extinot in Beptember last s now being rapidly developed and with it speech. What will be the re- sult at the end of seven years, which Is the length of taltion, given in this {nstitute, can be imsgiced? Should these children be allowed to remein during +hat time there {8 no doubt but that they will go Into the world; not as deaf mutes but as persons whose hear- fng has been to a certaln extent blunted, Of course uno signs are taught this clace nor any visible lan. gaage. Itis the intention of Prof Glllesple to teke il children, who have the lest spark of hoaring and who have not been too far advanced in the old eystems of deasf mute in- straction, and teach them to hear. It {s hia firm opinion that chl'dren under eight yoare, a: the least, can bs taught by his systém to henr and cf coarse to speak. The work is very trying on the teachcra, for the child that aever knew what a souud wae from birth, has to be taken back to first principles and its hearing tralned from the very begloning, In company with Mr, Collins, who under the old regime was one of the board of directors of the iustitute, Tue Ber reporter had the plessure of per- sonally wituessing the success of Miss McCowen's class yesterday. They were put through all manner of exercises to teat their h""",'}‘ Qaestions were asked as in the ordinary rchool room clally the method arranged by Prof. Bell, the father of the telephone, Thus another giant stride was taken io the education of deaf mutes, By obsorving the motlous of the lips of their lustructor, or the peraoi . dressing them, the spoken words are understood and replies are given, although the puplls do not hear one jot or tittlo of what s said on either side. This method has been reduced to much a nolence that apt ohildren have been taught to hold conversations as well as any ordinary persons, although their heariug was entirely destroyed. Hence 1t is that in New York city, Boston and Northsmpton, Mass., thore are institutlons devoted entirely to this branch of deaf mute Instruc- tlon, and the result has been wonder- ful. Surely there was no field for further advancement In the science of imparting kuowledge to deaf mutes, and the most oxperienced educators in this live contonted themselves with dolng tho most perfect work they could with the methoda they had, be- cause the most vislonary never droam- ed that “auy fmprovement could bo made, It remsined for Prof. John A. Glllesple, of tho Nebraska Institute for the Deaf and Damb, located just science of deaf mate instruction, which {s more wonderful than all oth- ers, and threatons TO STARTLE THE WORLD, Pzof. Gillesple has devised & means eaf mute ochildren to hear, and he feels justly proud of being able to send out young people of the primary classes and answerod as correctly as if the sonses of speech and hearlng had never been efflicted, The children were compelled to keep THEIR EYES CLOSED when examined, so that there could be no possibility of thelr catching the iustractor’s Ianguagejfrom the move ment of the lips. They told names of objects, obeyed orders as to doing lit- tle ersands around the room, read thelr primmers together, and in turn, selected the proper pages and an. swered questions within the range of thelr knowledge, propounded by thoso presont. One test that shows beyond the shadow of a doubt that the hear- ing was being rapidly developed was oxemplified by placicg the children at the blackboards, haviug the teacher glving questions while standivg be- hind them and requiriog the samoe to be written on the boards, There was no posaibility of their discovering by auy other means, sive that of hear ing, what the queattons were This was most snccessiully tried by Miss McCowen in a number of {nstances, to the na- tonishment of all present. To our mind there was one thing which moro than all others showed that the hear ing was rapldly approaching its normal condltion and that was, when these children were asked a question or glven a phrase to repeat, they an- grees of reading, clphering, compos- ing, ete., eto., antll at the end it can do about anything In the way of general education ' that the children of our pablle schools, who have spent a llke namber of years in learning, can do. They are very apt pupils, when once started, but our teachers in the ordinary schools must remember that to Instruct the deaf and dumb is about as much more dit- ficult work than theirs, as it is harder to read the signs of the heavens by astronomy than to figure up the cost of ten pounds of tea at a fractional price per pound. These mutes be. ccme 80 trained in the higher classes that they can work out most d.flisult problems in arithmetie, snd compose grammatleally and intelligoutly on anything thoy see, or which is sug gested to thom by the finger algu. Their penmanship Is of an unusually fine character, and they would make suporlor newspsper reporiers, for in their composition they get the entirc facts down to the capacity of a nut she!l. Whilo all these different branches sre being {aught, the pign langusge ls improving rap- idly, and when a pupil is ready to leave the institu e there is very little that cannot be {mparted to him by the motions of the fingers, and in this way he is able to learn all other things nearly as well as If his hearlng and his speech were normal. There are 94 paplls in the institate this year, the majority being buys, There are NO CAST-IRON RULES of government, but a paternal super- vision and raild correction of misde meanor, which most always has the best effect. The health of the inmates {s wonderfully good, for duilng the twelve yoars of its exlstence there has been bat one death and that oo- curred this year from typhold fever. The order of the day s breakfast at 6:30, aftor which the girls attend to household duties and the boys go to the workshops and printing cffice. A few moments bofore 8 there is a short chapel exerclse and then the children go to the school rooms and remaln there, with the ex- oeption of a recess unul 12 o'clock, which s thedlnner hour. After this comes recitation until 1:30; scheol till 3; shops and sewing rooms until b; recreation until supper at 6; recroation until 7, when the young children re- tire and the older ones study uatil 8, when all seck thelr dormitorics.

As sound 15 the basis of all speech, and there are no mutes from natural causes wh the hearlng s porfeot, the discovery of Prof. Gilles ple In the matter of training the sense of hearing, will bring speech of its own accord and confer a benefit on homanity that cannot be properly es timated. It goes without saying that this new departare {s the grandest im- provement In the sclence of instruo- tlon of the age, and redounds to the great oredit of our state and its insti- tations, Tuax Bee reporter, having heard a rumor of what was being done in this line at the Deaf and Damb institut: visited that institution Friday, an saw with his own eyes the wonderful worklngs of this system of developing tho hearing. Prof, Gillesple, in a pleasant interview, sald that during many years' experience as a teacher he had El\'dn this matter of developing the hearlng considerable study, but inssmuch as it was deemed an impos- sibility by some of the most learned ot thavoarors and endorsed &‘Tflifl": educators of the deaf and dumb, and tcomfortable and’'perfect Aiting PRICES, by Mall, Postage Patd: rilng, Wer anle by leading letall Dea [COXN) St TER 5 Yon ORbwARY FAMILY PURTOSES Togrica o )/"\.‘::K e ) 4o, Lo it OMAMA , NEB.

It was found to work an improvement. If this nearly destroyed sense was strengthened by such artificlal means a8 the audiphone, why could it not be tralned and made more powerful and useful by other mean:? 8o from that moment Prot. Gillesple went to work to practically DEVELOPE THE HEARING, Mtiss Mary MoOowen, one of the ablest teachers in the institute, was selected to give Instruction tn the new system. It was very trylng on the teacher and this and other reasons preventad the work of Instruction from belng thoroughly sev in motion until last September, when an oral and audiphone class was or. ganized with Miss McOowen as in- struotor, Fourteen children, less than ten years of age, who had entered the Institation at that dato and who never in sigos, visible language, reading, writing or object learnlng, were select: ed as nolass.

Prof, Gillespie and Mirs McCowen, the instructor.of the class, have reached a new era in the solence of deaf-mute instruotion, It is bound to do away with the sign langusge, and visible speech i4* the Rreat majority of cases, and work ben- efits to humanity of untold value. Already this remarkablo system has been nolsed abroad among ructors elsewhere, who can hardly credit the success already attained, and Prof, Gillespie 18 receiving letters every day enquiring about it. He recelved one a short time ago from a merchant in the West Indles, who desired to have s deaf son oan obtain the benefits of ihis system, We understand that ar- rangements have been made so that children from other states and coun- tries will be taken lnto this class, upon payment of the necessary amount to relmburse the state for their instruc- tion and malntenance. This Is the only olass of the kind in the world, and Nebraska should feel » little bit proud, No doubt the coming conven- tion of instructors of deaf mutes will ive the new departure great atten- tion, which it certainly deserves. The next olass of interest and tm- portance Is that of Articulation, con- ducted by Miss Mary L. Farrant, a wost skillful {instructor, lately of Salem, Mass. She teaches the Bell system of visible speech, and her suc- cess has beun most remarkable. The plan is to select the brightest pupils FROM THE SIGN LANGUAGE ol and glve them Instructions for » half hour during the day in visible language. Thus Miss Farrant has to perform the arduous duties of teach- ing abont forty puplls at different times each day In speaking slmply by observing the movements of the flpl Yesterday we had the pleasure of at- tendln, iss Farrant's class and of observing the success of her work. The pupils answered questions cor- rectly and (Intelligently solely by ob- serving the manner in which the in- terlocutor spoke. A number of exer- clses were gone through with, and all were eminently satisfactory. There 1s not doubt but before the full course of instruction which these children are supposed to take s finlshed that they wlflbnbhtohold conversations onany subjeot, and with any persons, besides understanding lecturers and speakers \from the mere movements of thelr lips. All children in the institute who show the least aptitude whatever for this branch of {nstruction receive lts great benefite, except of course the ‘‘hear- ing olass,” The tign language classes are conducted by Professors MoClare, Reed, and the Misses Fannie M.
