mental development, cau~>d by the use
of narrow methods by teachers of the
deaf, have come under the observation
of American educators from time to

The educated deaf of the world are
strongly in favor of the use of all
methods of instruction for the benefit
of the mental development of the pupil.
1t would seem wisest. therefore. from
