held its annual meeting there, which led
President Patten of Howard university
to take as the topic of his discourse
woman and Skepticism." He tried to
show that if women are given too great
liberty they become unbelievers and Il
disgrace to the sex generally. Victoria
Woodruff George Eliot and Harriet
Martineau were mentioned as examples
of the sort of women undue liberty pro-
duces. The rest of the story is thus told
in an associated press dispatch: Among
the audience were Miss Susan b. Antho-
ny and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
and at the conclusion of the service these
women walked to the platform and up
braided DR.. Pattcn for his utterances.
Miss Anthony said that If his mother
were living she wouli take him across
her knees and spank him. But Mrs.
Stanton interrupting her said: ION the
contrary, let me congratulate DR.. Patten.

The question Of defective hearing IN
ihe public schools and of the need of
Ipecial methods Of instruction In such
Eases has been very carefully studied by
DR.. Samuel Sexton, a well.kuown aurist
" New York city; who has long been
Engaged in efforts to Secure proper at
hntion TO the subject on the part Of
Ichool authorities. In a recently pub
ished paper he states as the result Of in
resignation that about twelve per cent.
81 the children in schools suffer from
greater or less defect in hearing, many
Of whom are not aware Of their own de-
6eieney, which is also ignored by teach
srs. Many children are credited with
stupidity or inattention and treated &C
sordingly who are simply unable to hear
perfectly, and struggle along under I'M
recognized disadvantages in consequence.
DR.. Sexton advocates careful tests of the
hearing capacity Of school children aud
classification with reference to It. In
many cases of slight defect the difficulty
can be overcome by attention to seating
them near the teacher and to using the
voice in way to reach their perceptions
fully. In other cases artificial aids to
hearing can be used to advantage. 1t Is
also shown that in special institutions
for the deaf there is lack of proper
classification and of discrimination in re-
spect to degrees of hearing. Many are
treated as totally deaf who may be taught
10 advantage through the hearing faculty
by the use Of proper methods, especially
ii taken in hand at an early age.
