Very useful work is done by the
adult deaf and dumb institute in
Manchester in keeping up link of
association and interest among deaf
mntes scattered over large area.
Some travel great distances to take
part in a reunion in Manchester, that
has now become an annual event. This
year il took place at the Hume town
hall, where a tea party in the evening
was followed by performance Of
Hamlet" by deaf-nutes. Probably
the feeling for dramatic representa-
tion is as strong in them,as in others,
but to those who can hear and speak
it is difficult to imagine that it can be
fully satisfied by signs and gestures,
more especially when they are tram
meled with the rapid and compli-
Gated movements of the finger Ian
guage. The performance was, how
ever, great success. Last year the
same actors gave Romeo and Ju-
.liet," SO that the success was not al
together due to novelty. The dress
ing of the play was effective, THE
scenery was good, and there was spirit
in the acting, and the audience,
judged by their attention, felt a real
concern in the development and the
incidents Of the play.-London Lancet.

President wheeler Defends Students

President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of
the university of California has replied
to the open letter addressed 70 him by
the San Francisco Labor Council in
which exception was taken TO students
working as stevedores on the Oakland
water front. The letter is as follows:
wv II. Goff, president of San Fran
cisco Labor Oouncil-My dear sir; Your
very courteous letter of the 23d inst. is
before me and has been read with much
interest | appreciate very highly the
sympathy you express IN the work and
purposes of the university, aud am
confident. from the spirit of your com.
municitiun, that you would not wish
the university SO far TO interfere with
iGd.y.Guil liberty as to deny young men
struggling tur the means of tducutiou
the right to earn money, provided their
time allows aud the opportunity affords.

Obliged 10 work their way either in

lance OF this, however, leaving it en-.
tirely to individual effort. My expert.
eEel leaves me to believe in these
students who have to struggle for their
education, and l should be grieved to
see them eliminated from the list. 1t
would mean that the university would
lose its strongest and most hopeful men
1t would Ge direct discrimination
against the sons of the poor and would
involve, indeed. a direct perversion of
Il e university, which is the very citadel
