sppICa MADE VISIBLE.

Professor FERGUSON, of the State Dear
and Dumb Institute at Romney, w. Va
called on us yesterday and gave US
graphic description of the new method
of teaching adopted in that INSTITUTION
known as BILLS Visible Speech. This
method IL the invention of the father oil
GRAHAM BELL, of telephone tame, ana
has been brought to great perfection by
the latter gentleman. Every conceiVs-
BILE position of the human vocal
organs is represented by symoOl
and as but one sound can be uttered oy
those organs in any given position the
symbols also represent the sounus u
vsr,ous letters and syllsples. In teach
ing the pupils diagram OF the throat
tongpe. teeth and lips is drawn py
the teacher and by symbol controlhng
all or any one of these Jour organs the
student is shown what sound he or she is
desired TO produce and how to make
tongue, lips and teeth, &C., combine to
help them utter it. The system is SIM
ple and remarkably competitive one
and cannot fail to attract the attention
of any intelligent person who examines
it. 1t has been in progress at the Rom
new school for some two weeks, under
the superintendence OF Miss SUSAN
A1IES. of Massachusetts, whoi strongly
recommended by Mr.. GRAHAM BELL rs
being an adapt in the art, and who mas
been wonderfully successful In the short
period of her teaching, The majority oil
deaf mutes can be taught to speak, for the
reason of their inability to command
language is simply because they nave
never heard the human voice, and are IN
total ignorance as to the formation oil
words and controlling of the voice. Inc
understanding of what is said by watch
ing the movement of the lips Is also
taught here, and thus conversation can
be held as soon as the pupil is sufficiently
advanced without using signs.
