Years Work.

Years Work.
Prof. Jos. B. Early and Matron Mrs.
Early and all the teachers, we're warmly
congratulated upon the successful clos.
Ing Of their years work at the state Ia.
stitute for the deaf mutes.
Prof. Carter and Mrs. Carter, the
new su superintendent and matron of the
combined institution, were present.
The exercises at the deaf mute
school, Wednesday at 2 p. IN. were
quite interesting. The program was
witnessed by a large audience In the
chapel hall Of the building in this citS.
used by both the state blind school
and deaf mute school. The trustees Of
the deaf mute school are Governor
Lord, Secretary Of 8 ate Klncaid and
State Superintendent Irwin. A great
many Of the prominent people OF Sa-
lem were present as we'll as some Of the
clergyme and officials of the state
All were quite pleased at the good work
done by the teachers.
The class work done by Mr. and Mrs
LiLherland, Miss Parmenter and Miss
Bockee was very interesting through
out. rhe pupils are fine looking lot
Of young men and women. They seem
well taught, we'll cared for, well trained
and well disciplined. The inability of
the children to speak with their lips
MAKES all their expressions three-fold
more expressive. Superintendent
Early throwsa great deal of spirit into
all the work of the school. The lip
reading with semi-mutes was very In
terestlng. They readily read ordinary
sentences from the ordinary movement
Of the mouth In speaking. They seemed
to enjoy answering very much, al
though they did not hear word that
was said. The exercises grew In inter-
est as they proceeded and were ex-
planned by the teachers IN charge.
"PLAYItId SCHOOL,
was acted out by six little tots and
severe and determined looking pedagog
OF ten years. The trustees appeared
quite dignified future state officials Of
twelve years and acted out their parts
very well.
The children won hearty round Of
applause for their lIfe-like presentation

three young ladies dressed In the ma
tional colors and the classic of Amer.
