Saturday at the Episcopal parish
house with an attendance of 81. The
oldest member of tile organization
present was Madison Sawtelle OF Sid
ney. - years OF age. President Albert
l.. Carlisle presided at the business
session and his address, which con-
tanned a number Of important recon-
mendations was as follows;
Ladies and gentlemen, members OF
he Maine Mission for the Deaf, bid
you one and all welcome to this, the
32d annual convention. / especially,
old the young people welcome. for they
are the ones who will carry on these
Meetings when We older ones are out
If the running.
First, / wish 10 speak with reference
10 compulsory education OF deaf chit
dren. At the convention of the New
England Galladaut Association of the
Deaf held in Portland, last year, Miss
Fannie Kimball, a teacher in the Maine
School for the Deaf, brought this ma
er up and il was very taVorablS re-
,eived. Her idea was that all unedu-
Gated deaf children should be compeli-
ed TO attend either a school for the
leaf. or some school suitable TO their
needs.
Why can't We take steps in this mat
Ter and pass motion that the officers

Every person has a right 10 a COCA
common school education and why
should not deaf children as well as

attend schools?
Another thing, if We at this eonVen-
ion vote to have the officers take TINS
matter before the Legislature, ne
you'd have the satisfaction OF know
ing that we are the first TO take direct
steps in the matter.
One other matter, which is, or oushl

when we hear of some fakir OF TINS

needed produce the strength necessary
to overcome adversely. He concluded
by quoting from Longfellow's Psalm
