PROMOTING ENTERPRISES

1t is occasionally suggested to us to emulate
someone else in booming" certain things, more.
Advice is cheap. Suggestion is without price
There are many things that could be done in Gre
NADIA to foster business. There are a number of en-
terprises that could be launched that would redown
to the good of the community, but it takes money
to do these things. Unfortunately we are not stu
ated to plank down the cash to lead in the enter
prises and we confess that we feel a certain sort of
embarrassment in lecturing others about what we
are unwilling, or are not in a position, to do our
selves. We have no patience with the fellow that
advises someone else to do a thing that he is un.
willing to do himself. We sometimes see "promot-
ers' advising an immense outlay of public funds
when as a matter of fact they ere non-crontributors
to the public exchequer. Hence it is our purpose
TO suggest rather than to lecture.
There is a common sense rule about anything.
Oh, we say 'if l had his money ! would do so
and So" We believe you think so and maybe you
would. But you haven't got it. And your petulant
criticism of others recalls the old maids advice
about rearing children.
We do not believe there is a citizen in Grenada
that would not make any reasonable personal or
pecuniary sacrifice for the good of the town. There
is as little hate and malice among the citizenship of
Grenada as any other place on the globe. In fact
If there is one in the town that carries malice deep
and abiding we do not know it and surely it does
not exhibit itself. This is what can be said of but
few peoples. Therefore it is not saying too much
to say that such a citizenship will, in the ultimate,
get the best in life.
Few places the size of Grenada can boast of
larger bank accounts than Grenada. We know of
no place, and we believe none exists, where money
makes such little distinctions in society. This is
good and augurs well for the heart-life of our people.
Grenada is still steadily climbing, and must not
be satisfied with past triumphs. The mills will not
grind with the water that is past. Battles are never
duplicated, hence it behooves US to consider what
I'VE are and what we have, and to be wide awake for
the future. Let us best utilize our conditions and
advantages.

despite the prevailing conviction that
deafness connotes dumbness, it was
proved that the deaf could be taught
to speak. The tongue of the dumb was
embossed.
For some time the speech-teachinp
efforts were confined to those of school
age and over. The thought of taking
the deaf child at an age when he would
naturally learn to talk, where he DOS
sessed all of his faculties, was the in
spirat'on of a woman, the late Miss
Emma Garrett, of Philadelphia, who

The Passing of the
"Denf and Dumb"

1.-The habit of the ancients was to
put deaf babies to death either by ex-
posture or by violent MEANS" writes
Christine Terhune Herrick in Woman's
Home Companion for March. Down
almost to the present time deaf infants
among savages have been disposed of
in this fashion.
"Our later methods-deaf and dumb
schools in which those thus afflicted are
segregated, taught the sign language
and instructed in trades in which their
disability is not al insuperable draw
back-are known to all of US. For
years it was taken for granted that
such methods of training were the only
ones possible to the deaf-and because

Soon Good Judgment Tousel found,

Ready to be put in heads
And upon soft, downy beds
Were young Thoughts all i'll a row.
Waiting for a chance to grow;
On shelf piled high, there stood
Lots of Blockheads (made OF wood !;
Wisdom, Truth and Honesty,
Came in tanks and labeled 'free!"
And around there people stood,

And he said great surprise:
