Diseases of the Ear in Schools.

The paper of DR.. G. J. Blake, read
before the American Social Science
Association, on the method by which
teachers should ascertain defects OF hear
ing in their pupils, calls attention to tho
Importance of recognizing the existence
. y class among school children for
wnom special provision in the way OF
education must be made. This wes
shown by the fact that out of 8,7l5
cases of ear disease, accompanied by i'm.
pairment of hearing, 2,175, or twenty
five per cent. were children under
fourteen years of age, these statistics
being taken from children in public
schools; also that in about twelve per
cent there was an existing aural disease
amenable to treatment. In the opinion
of the writer the seriousness of the con-
dition of schools in this respect was not
great enough to justify the resort to an
additional department to the schools.
The instruction of partially deaf chill
dren in q school set apart for them was
Objectionable and unnecessary for a
number of reasons, but if they be re-
tained in tho schools with other children,
it became necessary to rate them accord
ing to degree of individual disability, in
order thai proper allowance might be
made for their defective hearing. To
this end careful examination should be
made in each case, to determine the de-
gree of deafness as tested by the dis
tance at which the voice of the teacher
can be heard in ordinary conversational
tone, and again by the pronunciation of
consonant tones. These tests could be
made by the teacher, and the following
directions for making them were given:
The teacher should always occupy, in
te&lng the different cases, the same po-
sition, preferably the rostrum or seat
usually occupied by him in school hours.
He should speak in the same tone of
voice used in the schoolroom exercises.
The child to be tested should be placed
in front of the teacher and at the ex-
treme limit of the furthest line of seats,
and gradually advanced toward .the
teacher at certain intervals, the tests
being repeated until point is reached
at which the child can hear distinctly.
This point should determine the place
the child should occupy in the school
room. The ears should be tested sep
arately, the ear to be tested being turned
toward the teacher, while the other is
artifcially closed. The child should be
required to repeat distinctly the words
as he hears them. The paper strongly
recommends the establishment of med
ical supervisor of schools; the post to
be occupied by q competent physician
who had made the matter of school
hygiene study, and his whole time to
be devoted to the duties of his position.

The Insane.

The Mentor is a little paper edited
and printed by the patients Of the Ala
bama insane hospital at Tuscaloosa.
Most of the articles relate to the treat
ment of the insane. One article, enti-
tied "Insane Responsibility" contains
this passage: "It would benefit all in
sane persons, even the inmates Of hospi-
tails, to know that they are amenable to
the laws of the land. Many a time we
have heard inmates say: If I cut, burn,
or kill, nothing can be done to me.
They say I am insane. That gives me a
loophole for escape, let me do what I
may" Mention is made in one number
of the paper that the superintendentnot
long since called a jury Of the patients
to decide whether one of their number
was a thoroughly sane person or not.
All but one agreed that he was. The
dissentient saw one evidence of insanity
the subject of inquiry was believer
in spiritualism. So it seems that the
standard OF sanity in hospitals is more
e1acting than outside of them.
