HEARING BY SIGHT.
A New system Of Lip Reading That
IL Meeting with Much Favor
Here aud In EngInnd.

The latest method by which deaf pco
pie can communicate with their fellow
beings Is the hearing by sight" u
science better known as Zip reading. y
The system has been introduced into
England and America, and has met
with much favor by those who have
had an opportunity TO test it's value,
says the New York Tribune. An Eng
lish expert in this line of instruction
has stated that lip reading can even be
practieed with facility by the blind
who become expert In he art. The in
diyidual learns to understand what Is
said by watching the lips of The speak
er. and the blind accomplish this by
holding the fingers lightly over the
mouth OF the speaker, whose conyersa-
ton thty can readily follow. This Is
one system practiced by Helen Kellar
who Ia deaf and blind. and until taught
by Miss Sullivan to articulate was also
dumb
Lip reading. speech and writing are
taught simultaneously by the system,
and all signs or finger alphabets are

found to hinder progress along new
lines. The pupil eudeavors 10 forget
any previously used systems Of com
munieatlon and gives undivided atten-
ton 10 lip reading. The speaker does
not need 20 eNpend any extra effort to
speak distinctly in order that the deaf
person may follow the motions Of the
lips, and exaggerated attempts 10 pro-
nounce carefully result in grmaees
that hamper the hearers" efforts to
understand what is being said.
Those who are placed under lnstrnc.
ton during their youth acquire the
system with much greater facility than
pupils OF maturcr years.
The claim is made that hereafter the
deaf who have studied lip reading will
bc enabled 10 mingle freely In society,
aud with one exception that the per
son who Is hearing by sight" must
face the speaker. no bar TO intelligent
conversation on the part of the deaf
will exist.
