Some Interesting Facts Ooncerning the Edu- cation of the Deaf Mutes. THE CITY FATHERS' MEETING. A Beton the Law For Selling Cigars —Social Notes—Personal Men- tions and Brief News Bits, Teaching the Dumb to Talk. There are many features in the eduea- tory work in the institution for the deal and dumb here, which seem common place to those connected with the school who have an every day familiarity with them, but they are surprising, almost startling to others. The visitor to the in- stitution is, for instance, surprised to notice a teacher tap with his foot on the floor to command the attention of the class. The pupils respond to this signal as promptly as those who can hear the foot-tap, It is diflicult to realize that they do not hear it, so quickly do they look up on the signal being given, Their nerves are developed wonderfully to tone for the loss of hearing and they dily catch the slight concussion, or vibration of the floor. A person of ordi- sense unfamiliae with the silent dof the mute would never think of cailing deaf pupils to dinner by L adrum, and yet in the same we eateh t signal and come trooping to the dining hall, But one of the most interesting and even startling features of the edueation of these pupils 18 that of teaching them to talk—not with the s—but o talk as those who ¢ Pre has accomplished some w ul results in his time. It requires an endless amount of patience and drill, but that such results could even thus be reached seems miraculons, An articie appeared in a recent issue of the New York World, concerning this branch of deaf mute education, some of the facts in which are of special interest A description is given of the only priv school of this kind 1 New York cf Miss Sadie W. Keeler is the teacher. For eleven years she has worked among deaf mutes and given to voiceless tongues the music of speceh. She made a special study of methods, both in Europe as well as this country, and adopted what she deems the best. Her success is said to border on the miraculous. The re. vorter who visited her school thus de- scribes her method Two boys about seven, another of ten, a pretty girl of sixteen and two smaller girls about eleven years old were sitting quietly around a little There was kboard and a st reader in the Miss Keeler was teaching the st boy to say “Ah!’" She put one of his handson her chest so that he could feel the vibrating of the vocal chords and held the other clc 0 her mouth, so that he could feel the expulsion of her breath. 'hen she shid “Ah nd he tried to say it after her. Then her lips formed the word “papa,” and the littie fellow, by closely watching, ess d to imitate her, but the only result s something that sounded like “‘mum-mum.” The teacher held the lad’s hand to her lips so that he could feel her b pelled it in making the “p The “m” sound did not bring any breath on his hand; so he tried again, and, holding his hand to his own mouth, changed *“mum- mum" into a gutteral sort of “papa.” ‘T'he little pupil had hard work getting the letter “‘e.”” The only way he couls feel this sound was by placing his hands oncon eachside of the jaw of the teacher. The sound of “m’ and ‘“n” he got by placing the fingers of one hand on the teacher’s nose and the fingers of his other hand in precisely the same way on his own nose. Then he copied the movement of her lips and tongue exactly, and an- other letter was won. The vowels are taught first, then letters are put together, and the lud at last learns to say “boy."” Then he writes it on a slate, and_is told that the three letters mean himself or any other boy. One pretty little maiden named Minnie sits just across the round table. She be- gan learning early, and speaks very nicely. Of course, that voice, which she herself has never heard, lacks the modu- lation ti WO uncons E look for. “I love you," tra lips has the o expressed same placid intonation that “I hate you™ has. She is a good ex- ample of the double system of teaching that goes on in this queer school room. She has learned lip-reading, Speak slowly to her and she can tell from the changes . your lij you say.” Make the your mouth, as if whispering softly, b do not make the least sound, and she ¢ tell what your words would be. Of course in this combination of object-teaching and lip-reading there needs must be strange mistakes. Take the case of the teacher, who, speaking m fhool to deaf mutes, tried to explain what a deacon was. He took his hat and passed it round as though taking up a collection in church—that was a deacon. Now, did they under- stand? Of course, Lattle Georgie held up his band and was given a chance to air his knowledze and tell what a deacon really was. *‘He is the monkey that goes around with the organ-grinder to coilect pennies.” So when he wrote on the board the definition of conscquence—*'that which follows,” another bright lad said a dog was a consequence, because he fol- lowed the man, Just about a century nfio the plodding, painstaking Germans began to try to teach deaf mutes to talk. They learned it from Spain, and have been improying ever sin Now nearly all the big cities of the civilized world have deaf mute schools. A child should begin at five or six years to learn, and in ten years ought to be able to talk fairly well, Most teachers limit their classes to seven, as it is duflicult to give the desired attention to each member of a larger class. The Imm“ are glad to learn, and are singu- arly persistent in trying. But, after all, there is something pathetic in their strug- gles to talk a language toat has no mean- ing for their ears, it an e No. 12 Pearl street; Dr. Hanchett, oftice ) 120 Fourth street; telephone residence, No. 10, SR 8end orders for type-writer ribbnos of all colors, new and reinked, to C.
