Reflector: Don't dis-illusion the
little ones in their belief in Santa
Claus. Deception is not right, al
ways but there are times when it
becomes almost sacred and this one
of them. The children will soon
learn that the world is lacking in
philanthropy, SO let them believe
in the existence of the mythical
saint until such time as their COM
prehensioD is able to cope with act
ual conditions. 1t is deception
that is linked irrevocable with
childhood and childhood is of short
duration at most. Do not rob your
children of single joy that is price
less and yet costs nothing. Re-
member, you were child once, and
your recollections of Santa Claus
are even now the most sacredly
cherished of your childhood mem
cries.

The State School For The Deaf
at Delavan.

The ffty-third annual opening of
the Wisconsin state school for the
deaf took place on Sept. 9. During
the first and second days 172 pupils
were enrolled. This is 40 more
than were registered during the
corresponding period last year, and
with one exception, that of the year
1898. constitutes the largest initial
enrolment in the history of the
institution.
The dormitories for the girls are
all filled, and no new applicants can
be admitted to this department.
The intellectual training in this
institution is secured in the aca-
denic departments, in which there
are twelve teachers in the oral de-
partment, six in the sign depart
ment, and one teacher for the deaf
blind. Two new school rooms have
been added, and the faculty is in
creased by the addition Of two new
teachers. A new science room has
been equipped for the sake of
demonstrating to the eyes of these
deaf pupils the things that hearing
students easily learn by listening.
1t is designed to enlarge the eff
cheney of the trades departments to
the end that the deaf boys may be-
come bread winners. A new Whit
lock press of modern make has been
added to the printing Office. New
tools and modern repairing ma
chimes have been placed in the
shoe shop and in the carpenter
and cabinet shops. New equip
ments have been added where need
ed. These shops, with a complete
manual training outfit, provide
generously for the training of the
hand. In the manual training and
art departments there are seven
teachers.
Realizing that for the deaf no in
SEPARATION from music or from the
human voice can ever be felt, the
management has planned every in
spiration possible through the eye.
To this end all the. school rooms
have been decorated in restful and
harmonious colorings, which form
a pleasing background for pictures
and statuary.
Wisconsin supports here school
on broad, progressive lines, with
modern equipment for the training
of the brain, the hand and the heart
of her deaf children. Milwaukee
