The Rev. c. Stone read = report on The Teac hing
of Trades OF Mechanic D Arts 10 the Dea; ard Dumb,
prepared by him as Chairman OF a Committee ap-
pointed by tle last Conventions sni considerable dis
cusson on the subject ensued. The repo-. strongly
advocates that proyIson be made for the eseaing OF
trades in every institution for the deaf and dumb.
Otherwise few OF them will Be likely 20 learn trade
a. al, and IN resoEr ~ agriculture, few OF them vii
De hkely ever TO do more than serve drudgss 4
lam. Ihey can become excellent mechanics more
easily than they qualify themselves to manage a
lam, while few of them would ever be likely 10 pos-
se;s the means o; acquiring farm of their own. In
ls'ge number OF the Institutions such provision is
made, bu. Of lse years agricultural lsbor has been 40
well paid al the West, and this occupstion hes been
regarded IS 70 much mole hesthtul for the deaf mute
that there has been disposition TO underra,e tbe
importance Of teaching them trades.

oucun 'ocutcn. Thus there have been no sign. for
such generic IDEAS metal color, animal
&C., except by enumersting and grouping sey.

IDEAS expressed by the words time, sze oharsctsr
congress, com-attee, and many Others there are no
short igns available for rapid commLnic .tion Mr.
l. proposes tha. certain conventional arbitrary

IDEAS.
The discussion upon this subi.c, brought rresdent
Sturteyant upon the oor who addressed 10 the Con-
venton some truly philosophical remarks upon .hs
process by which, in al languages term. are en-
grated. and otten, when this has been attempt cd
