SENATE WAITS ON HOUSE.
Lower Body to Aot First on Repeal
Of Canal Toll n1-
emPtion.

Members of the senate committee on
interoceanic canals have decided they
will await action in the House on the
proposal to repeal the clause Of the
Panama canal act permitting the free
passage of American coastwise vessels
before taking up tae matter. Chairman
o'Gorman. who WILL lead the fight in
opposition to the sepeal Of this clause,
said that he would not call the COM
mlttee together ai,til after the House
had acted.
Should the Housss fail to pass the re-
peal. which administration leaders say is
wholly improbable,s the matter would not
be dropped in the senate. Senator Root
has a repeal bill peading before the COM
mittee, and an an.endment to the Pan
anna canal act was introduced last week
By Senator Chiffon which would accom-
plsh the repeal BY. giving the President
absolute authority oyer canal tolls even
to assessing charges where exemption
is provided for American coastwise ships.
The House committee on interstate
commerce has fayorably reported q re.
vised Sims bill to repeal the exemption OF
the coastwise tradet If the United States
from the Panama .canal tolls. The re-
vision merely was no perfect language OF
the bill as previously reported.

The Deaf and Dumb.

In early times it was an opinion,
maintained even by philosophers, that
the education Of the deaf and dumb
was impossible. 1t was then believed
that language could be acquired only
through the medium of the ear. as
shown By the couplet of Lueretius:
10 instruct the deaf no art could ever
reach.
No care improve them and no wisdom
teach.
The first mention Of instruction for
the deaf and dumb is found in Bede.
A. D. S65. No other case is met with
for some centuries. Rudolfus Agrico-
Ia Of Heidelberg makes mention Of an
educated deaf mute in his .'Dialec-
tica," 1880. 1t was not until 1920 that

gan to be generai.-New York Ameri-
