A DEAF MUTE PREACHER.
Rev. Austin Mann Has a Parish Gov
ering Ten States.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
One OF the most interesting institu-
tions in Chicago, and one of which few
people know. is All Angels mission for
deaf mutes in Trinity parish house on
the South Side. Here about once a
month, or as often as the Rev. Austin
w. Mann, himself n deaf mute, can
visit the CITY, services are held in the
sign language. Mr.. Manns work of
ministering to deaf mutes extends over
a territory embracing ten states, so he
is allowed only one day in a month to
Chicago.
Mission work among the deaf mutes
Is carried on principally by the Ep,s-
coral church. Only one person in 2OO,-
600 is a teacher of deaf mutes, and out
of the entire population of the United
States only dozen are clergymen
who can minister in the sign language.
The literature Of deaf mute education,
showing the origin and growth OF the
work, is limited to a very small circle,
outside of which some confused ideas
prevail. One of the popular errors is
that the deaf child Is placed in school
mainly to learn what is called the sign
language, when the real object is that
the child may be taught to read and
write like other people. The teacher
uses pictorial or descriptive signs TO
make clear the meaning of written
words as a means of impressing the
English language upon the pupils
mind.
Beginning in a small way in 1850 .in
New York CITY, this silent" work of
the Episcopal church has spread to ev-
cry large city and important center Of
the Union. 1t reached the middle west
