Deaf Were Taught Long Ago

forget that long ago A. D. 6S5, John the Bishop
of Hexham taught deaf man to pronounce words
and sentences-so the venerable Bede sets it down
in his Ecclesiastical History" But it not until
about hundred years ago that systematic effort
was made to form the minds of the non-hearing.
There two ways of going about it, and l do

has been kept up for the last century between the
advocates of the sign language the side and
the teachers of articulation the other. The deaf
naturally express their rudimentary emotions in
pantomme; but to develop and conventionalize
these signs into language worthy of a moral and
thinking being is work of which the Able de

would have heard; but the persistent stimulation
of the nerves has made him only partially deaf and
he speaks with such slight that people who
do not know Spanish think he is Spaniard, he has
just that odd irregularity of emphasis.
1t is not because of any defect in the organs of
speech that the deaf are dumb, but because they
do not know how to speak DR.. MacKendrick of
the Glasgow University operated upon and
replaced his 1arynx with hard-rubber voice box,
in which slot to receive a reed from parlor

when he changed the reed, but he could hear, and
SO he spoke like his neighbors with strong Scotch
accent This proves, by the way the point that
the novels made not by the vocal cords but by
what Wangemann calls the hollow spaces of the
voice.
Cases where hearing children cannot learn to
speak not uncommon; but they mentally

have put them out of the way by the time they

care than many normal child gets who will grow
up to be an income producing citizen instead of
helpless burden.

Terrors of Deafness

III would be sad enough II we thought OF those who
lose their hearing simply becoming separated
from us by an invisible wall of silence To have the
mind cut off little by little from all that it
by the gateway of the ear, to miss the tones of
dear voice and all its subtle infections, and know
beautiful world of music, to be harassed by the fear
of imminent danger because the cry of warning
not be heard, to be Inundated by the acknowledge
ment of personal defect and SO to shrink into ones
self and more avoiding companionship
wounded bird hides itself-to bear this meek1y
cheerfully, calls for the courage of hero and the
resignation of a saint. But when, in the cases
of progressive disease of the middle ear there is
not an eternal silence but changing, camorous
roar as of Niagara, in ones ears day in and day
out it becomes almost too terrible to think of.
Yet there is a deeper depth, where the sufferers
do not know that they suffer where they do not
appreciate what they deprived Of because they
have never heard at all What makes their case SO
sad is that unless the special education of the child
is undertaken at early age indeed the faculties
of the mind, matter how great they may be
and they are often potentially very great-are
dwarfed and stunted in their growth.
1t is commonly believed that deaf children
thought them possessed of devils, and there are
naive stories of miraculous healing where the deaf
and dumb spirit forth when adjured and the
ears unstopped and the string of the tongue
loosed that they spoke. Those born deaf
morally and intellectually about the same as other
children, Saint Augustine to the contrary notwith-
standing. If they cruel it is because they do
not hear the cry of pain from the tortured kitten.
If they have tantrums it is because they cannot
unpack their souls with words hearing children
can. They often spoiled, either because they

their physical needs. But

How the Deaf Are Taught

lEpee gets the credit. Most of are more or less
familiar with the deaf-and-dumb alphabet and sup
pose that English words spelled out the fingers
by it. But that the least part of the sign language
which is not English at all or anything like it.
Chinese characters bear relation to the spoken
word, and the man of Canton who cannot make
out what the man from Marking is trying to say
can understand him easily if he writes it down,
because Chinese writing is arrangement of con-
ventionazed pictures, combined to make meanings
agreed upon. For example, one character means,

are favored more Than they Should be,
or because they are abused. If they
seem less intelligent, it is because they
miss so much of the education that
the hearing child gets without know
ing it.
The child born deaf is not always
totally devoid of all auditive sense;
but there is some defect in the ap-
paratus, SO that by and by the nerves
and brain centers give up trying to
hear and lie dormant | know of the
case of a mechanical engineer, Sue

it asserted by the articulation teachers that those
who use the sign language are distinctly inferior
mentally to those that have learned to talk, and
they say that autopsies show that the brains of
deafmutes who use the sign language have fewer
convolutions and less highly organized than the
brains of those that can articuate.
At time the sign-anguage party in this
try had all the best of it, but in such leading schools
the New York Institution for the Instruction of
the Deaf and Dumb articulation is taught,
and the sign-language is only tolerated. How they
