LIFTS HANDICAP FROM DEAF
knowledge Of Lip Reading Restores
Afflicted to Their Place in the
Industrial World.

Deafness is u tribulation. but its ef-
fects are more psychological than
physical. Deaf men as a rule have less
difficulty In getting jobs than have
men with more obvious handicaps. The
reai handicap In deafness is that it is
more calculated TO inspire impatience
than sympathy, and as consequence.
deaf men grow suspicious. irritable
and complaining. The deaf man is q
he walks quite alone. Communication
is the one thing that can restore him
to normal contracts.
In order to effect this the Modern
Hospital advocates lip reading as his
immediate pecessity and salvation II
he Is to maintain wholesome place
In the world Of industry.
peculiarity Of speech reading is
that a person who can hear, cannot
learn II.
There Is wide variety Of industrial
conditions which contribute to deaf-
ness. Because of these hazards. the
industrially employed form an eIten-
sive problem. Without training they
are not only liable to discomfort and
unpopularity, but they are source Of
risk because Of their inability to under
stand orders. From two points of view
the deaf have great need for
knowledge Of lip reading. and should
learn II at all costs. II fits them for
an independent. useful career In In
dustry. and In many ways rs-estab-
fishes an intimate connection with nor

II our own Idea or belief OF the ori-
gin OF woman j. Il superstition, then
II is quite as good superstition as
other people have. says the Columbus
Dispatch. For ours is not the only
theory of the origin Of woman. MANY
other people have many other theories
or superstitiOns.
The Australian natives believe that
woman was once a toad-and that
isn't very nice. II IL Is true. however.
II shows what wonderful creature
the toad was transformed into and
we can rejoice thereat. Then the
Laplanders believe that woman was
once rabbit, and since q rabbit u
more likable than q toad. we prefer
the Lapland superstition to the Aus-
tralisn.
The japanese believe that woman
grew upon Q tree-and that II getting
along still better. The feathery blos-
SONS Of the trees, with their color
and their perfume. seem more nearly

Keep Children In School.

''Chlldren should stay in school as
long Us possible because education
means better jobs" the federal chill
dren's bureau urges. Boys and girls
who go to work at the end OF grammar
school rarely get good Jobs. The work
they find to do is usually unskilled:
it offers little training or chance for
advancement. When they are older
they find they are still unframed for
skilled work THAI offers future. Edu-
cation means higher wages. Many
boys and girls when they leave school
find work that offers a high wage for
a beginner. But these wages seldom
grow because the work requires no

steadily increasing wages requires
