THE SCHOOL o DEAF MUTEs.
The bill providing for the establishment
OF a school for deaf mutes' at Devils Lake
was considered.
There was some dispute as to the proper
name for the Observation-Disclosures beine
made to the word dumb"
Mr.. SPEAR, the deaf but not mute gen.
tleman, who is ~championing the cause OF
the afflicted, was called upon to explain
which he did. He said they spoke of deaf
mutes: A mute is II who cannot speak
He held that there is no man who has not
the power of speech. He did not believe
in calling them dumb. as this placed them
on a plane with dumb animals. He closed
by saying: MANY who are deaf and lose
for a time their power of speech can be
taught to speak. Take myself, for in.
but | have been taught and a speak, per.

DUMB be stricken from the name of the
institution.
Mr.. MCCORMICK hoped the amendment
would not be made until they a%scertainet
whether or not it would comply with the
requirements of The constitution.
The recommendation was made.
Mr.. BOWEN thought the most vita
point to be considered was that of the cOst
OF keeping the deaf mutes as they noW are
at the school OF South Dakota, compared
with the probable cost of keeping them il
North Dakota.
Mr.. CURRlER replied that all figures a,
hand go to show that there will be a great
saving to the state in the establishment OF
a school in our own state. The most ad
verse figures did not add over ST 1000 to the
annual cost and he did not think this
amount should prevent the establishment
of a home institution.
Messrs. WELLMAN, RONEY and others
spoke in favor of the bill and it was recon
mended that the bill do pass.
The committee rose and the report was
adopted.
