sELF-SUPPoRT is PROBLEM
MOST IMPORTANT TO THE
DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND

At the meeting of the department of
special education yesterday morning at
the normal school building there was con-
siderable interest manifested in the sub
jects discussed President M. n. Ivor and
Secretary F. M. briggs were in their re-
spective chairs.
f. NJ. briggs, superintendent of schools
for deaf Ogden, Otah, read paper. He
said in part;
1T is with pleasure l address you this
morning upon a subject of vital import
ance, especially to those of us who are
directly concerned with the education of
the deaf, the blind and the feeble mind
ed With these children the problem of
self-support appears more serious than
with normal youths. The state at great
expense, undertakes to educate the de-
fective child. How can this process be
carried on without pauperizing him? No
one doubts that institutions for the edu-
cation of these classes should be main
tanned, and yet the question arises, Can
or should they be made self-supporting
If for some the training afforded by the
state docs not result in Independent citi-
zenship, how may the dependent ones be
made to support themselves? The prob
lem is grave one when we consider how
minded are. Our responsibilities are made
doubly difficult by their deficiencies. How
shall we fit them for lfe's struggle after
sSaool? Wnat eimipiioymtftenti is open &c
MY remarks on these questions, in sc
far as they are based on actual expert
ence, will have direct reference to the
deaf and blind only.
Educate for Self-Support
LAS to tn first question, How can we
educate deaf, blind and mentally def
cient children to such a degree as to make
them self-supporting and valuable citi.
zens?' We are dealing with boys ano
girls who, more than other children, need
the kind influence and gentle Leadership
of the teacher. Their training in schoo
should be not only a preparation for life
but life itself with all it's problems.
when you ask whether these institu-
tons can be made self-supporting, ! an
swer Yes If you mean by support giving
to the nation young men and women who
will make the world richer and better fol
having had the opportunity of attending
such schools. If, however, you Intend
that these institutions shall become
workshops where the first thought IL
financial gain and that thereby they are
to lose their character as schools. most
emphatically answer No.
