Deaf babies sent to the Utah school
for the deaf, dumb and blind at Ogden,
will, after this year, be segregated
from the older children and kept in
a new dormitory and kindergarten.
Superintendent briggs and the state
board of trustees decided to use this
effort to prevent the babies from
learning the manual or sign language
used by the older children. The
school authorities believe that in this
way they win be better able to teach
the children to understand conyersa-
tion by the lip method, and that they
can be taught how TO speak in the
