In some schools, notably in such as
cannot stand fair comparison with the
Hartford school, it is charged that here
in this city articulation is not taught and
various other Misrepresentation are cur
rent The fact Is that they teach articu-
lation here and they also teaoh ideas
things to say and to know. Indeed, this,
the parent institution in the country, still
holds first rank for the education that it
gives it's pupils. The result in Portland,
that has followed the adoption Of the
Hartford schools methods, is a triumph
for this school as truly as for that in

Tho management of the American
school at Hartford for the Deaf receives
a strong Endorsement of it's wise and con-
sentative policy from Portland. Maine.
1t will DO remembered that in 1894 the
managers Of the Portland school sent a
committee of three to Northampton and
to Hartford to examine the methods of
instruction. The members of the COM
mittee were the superintendent Of
schools and two other leading men Of
the city. They reported in favor Of the
combination system, which is followed
here in Hartford. That was two years
ago. Here now is the judgemnt officially
passed upon the change for the 'pure-
orar' method, that had been followed
for seventeen years

Dr. Z. NJ Gallaudet
My Dear Sir-I am pleased to testify to
the complete success of the Combined

Deaf, during nealry two years past. The
school was conducted on the pure-oral
method for seventeen years, under very
efficient teacher for nearly the whole Of
that periou Upon the death of Miss
Barton, in January, 1894 the need of
change in system became apparent to the
special committee of investigation and
the Combined System was introduced.
Since then, under the efficient charge of
Miss Elizabeth r. Taylor, who came TO
us from the Mt. Airy suhool in Philadel-
phia, the school has not only increased in
size and prosperity. but the ample bene-
fits of the new system of instruction are
apparent even to the most casual observ-
or Our most cultured people, who have
visited the school during the past year,
express themselves as greatly surprised at
the new order of things. From being
firm believers in the pure-oral method,
they would now not return to il upon
any consideration. They say they can see
the actual benefits of the new system in
the faces of the pupils. which shine with
| added intelligence and interest. Several
of our oldest and aptest pupils them
elves have volunteered the information
that, before, they could not learn and
understand things so readily as they can
now. 1t should be emphasized that We
