Money was used freely in hiring car

children, they are demanding recognl-
ton and an aducation that will enable
them to obtain living and be respect
ed and treated as members OF the great
brotherhood of man. Deaf mute chill
dren are fully proven sound rational
beings, equal in all things, except the
lack of hearing and power of speech,
to those who have these faculties unim-
paired. This loss, however, does not
detract from the mental and moral
abilities and they claim and deserve an
education on the same moral grounds
as other children, and not as subjects
of mere charity which is degrading to
their humanity and rational natures
and a disgrace to an enlightend COM
munity.
The language by which mutes are
taught is called deaf mute language,
finger alphabet, signs and writing.
Signs are, we believe, the great Provl-
Dental compensation TO mute for the
loss of hearing and speech Ga splendid
compensation. More easy, fascinat-
ing, expressive and living than any
spoken language, too, closely linked to
nature that mutes take to 1t as read
lily and easily as a duckling does to
water. Far less trouble to teach mutes
this language than any spoken Ian
guage is to children who hear and talk
language, too, that you cannot pre-
vent mutes from learning, even with
out a teacher. Also a language by
which you can teach mutes that there
is God, that a man is a moral being
and not wholly beast. This wonder
full language is alike to all nations and
people; a language that comes from
nature, will live as long as nature ex-
lists. That language that transmits to
the eye the quickest, clearest and most
"a In q n absence
hearing, must in the very nature of all
things, be the best method. For be-
ginners signs are easily learned by
pointing to the cat, dog, horse, house.
door, fire, bread, meat, milk, etc., and
notice closely how made and repeat
till you remember it.
An educated mute is far more use
full, self-sustaining, cheerful and hap
pier than an uneducated one, who is
often cross, morose, unsocial and un-
happy. Education does wonders. No
one denies this.
That the Georgia Legislature has
been and is doing it's duty nobly and
earnestly to help the Cave Spring, Ga,
School with liberal money appropria-
tions even since the establishment of
above school, is a matter of much ap-
probation and satisfaction.
At Washington, d. c., is the nation
al College for Deafmutes. supported by
money from Congress and in all the
United States departments of treas,
ury, war. navy, pension Office and
government printing Office are quite a
number of deaf mutes being employed
as clerks, bookkeepers, copyists and
printers, earning lucrative wages and
salaries.
In conclusion, we appeal for your
help in the matter of insisting on the
Establishment of the school asked for.

Education met Thursday afternoon In
joint session and resolved to hold an
election next Tuesday of the qualified
voters of Dublin to determine where
the new building should be built A
committee was appointed to inspect the
two sites and recommend to the peo-
pie which, in their opinion, was the
most suitable from every standpoint
A majority of this committee met yes
terday afternoon and unanimously de,
cided to recommend the piece of
ground known as Garrett Park. This
report will not be relished by a great
many of the people who want the
school building erected where the old
one was burned. Garrett Park is much
nearer the center of the city, is access
sible to sewers, and has upon 1t a
flowing artesian well. The old site is
remote from the center of the city,
sewers do not run near and water has
to be piped to the property. A warm
fight at the polls is expected Tuesday.
1t is believed that the Garrett Park
site will win.
