In the absence of dny new developments. the slump was attributed to a lack of support based on the delay in improving the French governments financial po- sition and in ren4wing efforts for funding the war debt to the United States.

TEACHES DEAF CHILDREN
NEW READING METHOD
DR.. Arthur I. Gates Uses System
in Which Words Are Learned
by Visual Study.

A new way of teaching the deaf TO
read. in which the word symbols are
learned by the deaf child by visual
study. has been made practical by re-
cent advances in psychology, accord
ing to DR.. Arthur /. Gates, professor
of educational psychology in Column
bia. University. DIR. Gates Is attend
ing the convention of school Superln-
tendents of the National Education
Association to present the results OF
recent tests before the educators.
.'The main difficulty has been to
convey to the deaf child the meaning
of such words as when above
these and but which are quite es-
sential to ordinary reading, DR.. Gates
explains. These difficulties were
previously considered by teachers OF
the deaf to be well nigh insurmount'
able. but principles Of learning now
available from psychology Suggest
means of overcoming them.
"The underlying theory is that the
deaf could be taught to understand
words presented usually quite as
readily and as fully as the normal
child learns to understand words pre-
scented orally. There seems no reason
70 believe that it is harder funda-
mentally to associate meanings with
visual symbols than with AUDITORY
signs" T..
THE first test of this procedure is
being made in the school OF the New
york Society for the Improvement or
instruction of the Deaf. with promis-
ing results. ,e
That methods Of teaching the deaf
children to read are not fully adequate
at present Is shown by Investigations
noada two wears ago. DR.. Gates showed.
r. was found that deaf children, even
those taught in first-rate institutions,
are rarely able at the age Of Is. or
often later, to read ordinary prose
readily enough foreither Information
or enjoyment. -...e,,,,,
from loneliness" said DR.. Gates: III
thew could be taught very early to
read. their lives could be immeasur-
ablv enriched and enlightened"

Buying Radios by Comparative Test

An indication that the radio buying
public is growing more and more
sophisticated in it's selection of the
merchandise 1t buys is the demand
among buyers to be given comparative
tests of radio sets, loudspeakers, and
practically every other instrument
that can be tested comparatively
against other similar merchandise. 1t
Is very difficult to compare two pieces
of merchant when any appreciate
time interval passes between the two
demonstrations or when local condi-
tiuns intervene to make an actual
demonstration under exactly the same
conditions impossible.
Few women have a perfect sense OF
color shading and material texture SO
keenly developed that they will risk
buying q piece of material to match
some other material they have at
home without bringing a sample
along. 1t Is Just as difficult to re-
member just how that other set In the
other store looked so as to be able to
compare 1t with something else in
another store as it is to match cloth
samples and color shades without
having the two samples side by side.
1t is even difficult to compare two
sets on demonstration, side by side,-
unless means are available to make
a change from one set to the other or
from one loudspeaker to the other
instantaneously.
Reception Changes Rapidly.
Broadcasting and voice rendition of
songs or instrumental pieces that are
transmitted from broadcasting sta
ton change very rapidly. An artist
may be singing very loudly one
instant and almost die away to a
whisper the next instant. 1t would
be manifestly unfair to judge two
receivers on the basis of connecting
I'D one set for one number and then
changing the connections slowly for
another number, so as to make COM

obtained from one set or speaker and
another.
The demands for such comparative
tests has proven so insistent that
several manufacturers have perfected
instruments to make such compare
tive tests possible. One of the
simple ways of making such a COM
parative test Is by connecting multi
plugs to both instruments SO that con-
nections from one set to the other can
be made by plugging the batteries.
aerial and ground connections from
one set to the other. Some one else
can quickly switch the loudspeaker
from one set to the other at the same
time. This, of course. Is not con
elusive method although 1t is much
better than the slow method Of chang.
ing each individual connection.
"Comparameter" Used.
For commercial comparative test.
ing. one manufacturer has developed
an instrument called a compare
meter" which performs a number OF
switching operations very quickly
thus making 1t possible to change the
aerial, ground and batteries from one
set to another. using the same loud
speaker and can also be used to test
loudspeakers by switching loud
speakers to a set one after another.
This instrument also shows the
amount of "a" and "B" battery cur
rent consumed by any set so as to
determine beforehand how much It
will cost to keep the set supplied with
current.
With this instrument four different
sets or speakers can be tested
simultaneously SO that any difference
In performance OF different types OF
sets or even of sets of the same type
can readily be detected. The instru
ment Of course Is not for home use as
it sells for over 500, but radio dealers
are using them to sell sets on the
basis of actual performance as deter
