to be turned away from the visitor upon his
trance their attention would not be diverted,
since their organs Of sight have to perform the
duty OF the useless ears Should they see the
newcomer, however they will smile an affection
ate welcome. then direct their gaze once more to
the lips Of their teacher 1t is this concentration
Of gaze which first betrays their physical handt
cap. All the knowledge they receive must come
through the sense of sight, and their eyes are
the alert to catch the smallest movement
OF their teachers lips.
The oraLdeaf department Of the Parker Prac-
tise school is under the direction Of Miss Mary
McCowen, the founder of the McCowen Oral
School for Young Deaf Children For more than
thirteen years this school carried on the pioneer
work for the deaf In Chicago, and since 1896
when speech classes were organized in the pub
lie schools. has supplemented that work by con-
dnuing to teach the very young children There
eight classes, totaling about ninety pupils,
under charge of Miss McCowen and her assist
ants, the children ranging in age from five to
sixteen years.
The caller probably will be ushered into one OF
the kindergarten classes. Here he will find ten
a dozen contented little scholars seated in
baby chairs about low table It is likely they
will be counting colored sticks, making pat
terms with them. murmuring all the while the
names OF the figures they forming The
teacher talks busily and naturally to the children,
just as If they could hear, other form Of COM
municatiOn than spoken language ever being en-
ployed. This is necessary in order to develop
the brains Of the children that they shall think
naturally and unconsciously hearing children.
Two not unreasonable questions may be asked
by anyone whose notice is called to this work
how and why do these children reproduce the
speech they never hear? And second, what does
it do for the children when they grown?
Let watch Of the baby classes. The pro
gram suddenly changes from the play with the
colored sticks and blocks. The teacher, leaning
forward, arrests the attention of one of her pu-
pills, enunciating with perfect articulation some
simple word. Instantly the chfld's expression
cTystaizes to reveal pure concentration of
thought All the intelligence Of the childish men
tality is focused through the eyes the teachers
lips Then gradually there terminates in his
mind sense Of the mental action that evoked
the motions of her lips and tongue she spoke,
and this sense blooms into imitation of the
act, accompanied by the corresponding sound. If
this is not correct the teacher repeats the word
and illustrates to the child Just how it should
be made Usually he gets 1t and per
feet each time, and when the lesson is finished
he returns to his play, smiling from pure joy in
the intellectual exercise.
Only the simplest words are given for the child
to reproduce at first These really not words
at all, but sounds. When individual sounds
mastered they are then combined to form
words. For example, suppose the child has

w. L. Blizzard, assistant in animal
husbandry at the Kansas Agricultural
College, recently. THAT a colt may
develop into full, strong-footed
horse, the feet should be cared for
at least every month or six weeks"
continued Mr.. Blizzard
In nearly every case the toes will
have to be shortened with a rasp.
The frog should be left bearing upon
the ground, as this helps to spread
the heels. If the frog is not allowed
to touch the ground, the foot will
rapidly lose the proper shape, the
heels will contract, and the walls at
the quarters will become brittle and
weak. This gives danger of the foot
splitting from above or below. The
sole will take care Of itself. Nature
does this by throwing off the dead
horn as fast as necessary.
Keep the walls Of the foot rounded,
the toe shortened, and the frog premi-
nent. If the toe is allowed to grow
too long, it makes too steep a pastern,
and this gives the horse a bad gait.
In Strengthening and leveIing a foot,

faulty is often Strengthened.
