hours as the minutes allotted me for
my paper, "Work with the Deaf" and
even then mention but one-third of the
different phases Of the work in which
/ am so intensely interested, | am
forced to condense my subject, and
crowd as much as possibly can,
within the short time allowed me.
With few exceptions, there was little
attempt to educate the deaf up to the
sixteenth century. Ponce de Leon
(1532-1584), Spanish monk, was I'M
doubtedly the first regular deaf-mutS
teacher. He came of noble family,
and on becoming priest he devoted
his life to the deaf. To Bonet 9th
century, belongs the distinction of
having published the first extended
work on the Education of Deaf
Mutes.' Jacob Pereira, French Jew
can claim to be first French instruc-
tor of deaf-mutes. He had a sister
deaf and mute, and his success in in
structing her and another pupil, led
to his introduction to the Royal Court.
A godson of an officer of high rank
at court became one of his pupils. This
pupil learned with such astounding
quickness that it opened his eyes to
the possibilities of instructing the
deaf. He thereupon became teacher
Of the deaf.
But the Able de l'Eppe, who was
the founder of an entirely new method
of educating the deaf at that time, is
regarded by common consent as the
greatest and most interesting person
atty in the annals of teaching the deaf
Then came such men as Thomas Arm
old, Braidwood Gallaudet, the two
Bells, DR.. Alexander Melvill Bell, best
known as the inventor Of "Visib!e
Speech" system Of instruction very
successfully used in teaching speech
to the deaf; and DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, the inventor Of the Bell Tel
ephone, and the founder of the Volta
Bureau for the Increase and Diffus-
ion of knowledge, Relating to the
Deaf. It is just 104 years since the
first school for the teaf in America
was founded-convincing evidence
that there were great difficulties to
surmount and many obstacles to over
come before even educators could deal
intelligently with this problem.
Wonderful progress has been made
during the past century in the manner
Of educating the deaf; and at the
present time we find that every state
in the Union has either State School,
public day school or private school for
the instruction Of the deaf.
The different methods employed il
teaching are: (a) The Manual Meth
cd, in which signs, the mutual alpha
bet and writing are used; (b) the Oral
Method, in which lip-reading, speech
and writing are used; tc) the Auricu-
lar Method, in which The education Of
the semi-deaf is carried on through
the use of his speech end hearing to-
gether with writing; ard (d) the COM
bined method, in which speech, lip.
reading, signs and the manual alpha
bet are used. The last is the method
in vogue in nearly all State Institu-
tons. The Oral Method is used in all
the day schools with but two excep-
tons. Many private oral schools with

firing efforts OF DIR. Max A. Gold
stein, the noted Othologist who is CIV
ing his time and money to the fur
therance Of teaching speech to the
deaf, is just one Of the numerous priv
ate schools for the deaf which offer
exclusive oral training.
Although the Combined Method is
still being used in many of the
schools, Oralism has a prominent
place; and the world is beginning to
realize what Oralism means to the
deaf for it places them on an almost
equal footing with the hearing.
1t might be of interest to know that
"The Jews Deaf and Dumb Home" in
London, founded in 1886, by the Baron
ness Mayer de Roth,child, was the
first school to employ the Oral Sys-
tenn in the British Empire. In 1872,
Mr.. S. Schoentheil, teacher trained
by j. Deutsch of the Jewish School in
Vienna, where the Combined Method
was practised, was the principal. 1t is
also interesting to know that the AS.
sociation for the Oral Instruction of
the Deaf and Dumb, Of London, owes
its origin to the benevolent interest
of the Baroness Mayer de Rothschild,
who having convinced herself Of the
superiority Of the Oral System used
at the Jews Home, founded a society
with the object Of establishing train
ing school for the teachers of the deaf
which should also be i practice school
and where the deaf Of all classes, ir-
respective Of creed, and paying fees
according to their means, could be
taught.
Only about % states have compul-
sorry educational laws applying to the
deaf. Why do not all people interested
in the education and welfare Of the
deaf in their state, make every posi-
BILE effort to secure a Legislative en-
actment, which will make that educa-
ton compulsory? The answer is plain.
Because there is an astonishing lack
Of knowledge on the part of the gen.
eral public Of the condition regarding
the life of the deaf. Nay, there is even
ignorance of their very existence. The
deaf stand in particular need of an
education, for without il their condi-
ton is peculariarly helpless and pitt
able. Perhaps you have seen a deaf
and dumb laborer in your town, un,
couth, bewildered, making mistakes
in his work because he could not un-
derstand written directions, imposed
upon by unprincipled people, emotion
al and uncontrolled as achild. Do we
want any more citizens like him?
There is only one remedy for such ca
ses, namely, the enactment Of a strong
compulsory education law for the deaf
and its rigid enforcement. Then we
may feel confident that every little
deaf child Of school age will be get
ting an education at the same age that
his hearing brothers and sisters do.
(Since writing the above, a compul-
sorry educational law applying to the
deaf and dumb has been passed..
The problem of the hard-of-hearing
adult is entirely different from tina,
of the congenially deaf, The state pro-
vides special instruction for the deaf
child where he is gwen vocational
training in order that he may become
self-supporting. On the other hand,

The above letter from the att0r-
ney general settles the matter OF
tuition to the high schools OF the
county. The law referred to pro-
vides that pupils living in districts
where there is no high school and
where property conditions do not
warrant building a high school may,
II prepared, attend the most con-
venient" high school and the county
shall pay their tuition to the same
at the rate Of 81 a week. Unless the
courts shall declare the law invalid,
1t means that pupils of all the GEN.
trail part Of the county may attend
the Abilene high school with free
tuition to themselves. This city
now has about so pupils from out
side the district who may tuition.

For these tuition will be paid. by the
county. 1t is estimated that at least
100 others will take advantage Of
the law and attend this school, with
other high schools Of the county also
getting their adjoining pupils.
Supt. Stacey who made the In
quiry to settle the matter is Of the
opinion that there will be a test case
in the courts but the law is very clear
in its provisions and approved as
above by the attorney general.

READY FOR NEW AUTO TAGS
Will Be Due July New System
Into Effect January

M. e. Calkins, county treasurer,
has begun to collect new automobile
license money. The law has under
gone many important changes that
will require more thought than writ
ing out a check for IS, as has been
the custom in Kansas for some years,
and as one motorist put it, "the new
law has nothing on the income tax"
According to the law new licenses
will be in order January instead OF
July 1, so when motor car owner
procures a license July 1 it will be
good only until January 1. Also,
under the law, the weight Of the car
determines the price Of motor car
license and a check for SO will be
the cheapest an auto owner can get
by, this amount being the minimum
charge for cars weighing 1000
pounds or under. From So the IL
cense fee mounts up to about 500.
In the meantime motor car own
ers can figure on writing out a IS
check on or before July 1. 1t has
not been announced as to the pro-
bable color of the 1921 license plates.

WATCH. WAIT AND LISTEN
II Abilene Takes Up the Newest
Sport Look Out

IL Abilene Iakes Up the newest
Sport Look Out
Up at Blue Rapids Is new sport
Let the local paper tell 1t:
1T has been generally known fol
some time that there was keen
rivalry between g. Van valkenburgh
Dodge dealer Of this city, and H. r.
Kaump, who has the agency for the
Buick. Last Friday afternoon this
rivalry reached Its climax, resulting
In a smash-up right on our public
square, and then followed a fight be-
tween the drivers and occupants OF
the different cars. Mr.. Kaump was
driving about the city with one OF
his new Buick cars, having as his
guests Miss Elizabeth Edwards, Miss
Hazel Rodgers and Howard Drake.
Mr.. Van yalkenburgh and Arthur
Brice likewise happened to be driv-
ing the same afternoon in a Dodge
sedan and had asked Miss Mary
Barraclough, Miss Harriet Wooley
and John Brown t. ride with them.
About O'Clock the two cars passed
each other on the west side Of the
square. Bystanders noticed then that
neither driver seemed inclined to
turn out for the other, and the cars
j,4st missed each other by hairs
breadth. IT was not long before they
seemed destined to meet again, at
approximately .be same Tlate they
did before. They were headed
straight for each other and 1t was
plainly seen that II one or the other
did not turn out that 1t meant COL
lision. The spectators who had seen
the narrow escape a few minutes be-
fore stood in amazament as the two
cars came nearer, without turning,
neither driver willing to cOncede an
inch to his rival. At point Just
opposite the center Of Sixth street
the cars crashed into each other. Mr..
Kaump, who was driving an open
car, and all the other occupants OF
cars were badly shaken up. spec
tators ran to their assistance, but
that was not what the auto parties
wanted revenge-and
Lncu tOOh pidCc OHC VI tAhS AAAoS" N-N
graceful street brawls that ever &C.

melled each other, rolled each other
in the dust and fought desperately.
the other occupants OF the
two cars were engaged In a verbal
confab as to who was to blame, anI
the ladies even engaged in a hair
pulling contest"
Now-if this is to be the popular
method of livening dull summer
In the motor car game we suggest
that Abilene get into it. Just think
how cheerful 1t would be to pull on
at Third and Broadway this
way: Redman VS.. Carney; Cruise VS..

At Least Prisoner Thought He Was
Dying After Brief Hunger Strike
A short time ago man was
brought to the county Jail on minor
charge and kept there four or five
days. The first few meals offered
him he refused. The second night
in the "hoosgow" fund him quite
detected and he asked for a lawyer.
The sheriff sent for an attorney and
when he arrived the prisoner with a
long face and a weak voice declared
he was dying and would like to make
his win. He clutched his side in the
region of his heart and In short
breaths dictated the disposal Of his
goods.
The sheriff in the meantime had
called physician whose arrival rung
down the curtain on the deathbed
scene. The doctor examined the
patient and prescribed food In mod
crate doses, then left him in a ais
