Not very long ago it was considered i'm
possible to educate the hearing and develop
the speech of these people so as to place them
absolutely upon the same level with sneak.
ing and hearing persons. But the seeming
impossibility has been overcome by simple
contrivance invented by Professor Currier.
This consists of an ear piece and two tubes
with mouth piece attached to each. The
pupil places the ear tube in his ear, and the
teacher first speaks through one tube. Then
the pupil, through the other tube, repeats the
words or sounds that have been uttered t.
him through the first tube, thus enabling
him to compare his own enunciation with
that Of his instructor, and by repeated trials
70 obtain such control over his voice as to Sc
cure the reproduction with clearness and pre-.
cision. The success obtained with this in
strument is simply remarkable.
