FOR DEAF URGED
DR.. PerCival Hall Gives Hours
Address in Sign Language
at Convention.

An effective demonstration of the
accomplishments of students Of the
modern schools for the deaf was en-
acted at this mornings session Of the
convention Of the National .Associa-
ton Of the Deaf which is being held at
Gallaudet College, Seventh street and
Florida avenue northeast.
An eloquent address Of nearly an
hours length on the educational
needs of the deaf of today. delivered
in sign language by DR.. Percival
Hall, president Of Gallaudet. was
interpreted vocally, sentence by SEN
tence by F. II. Hughes, foot ball
coach of the institution. who himself
is deaf.
DR.. Hall made a plea for better
training and higher pay for teachers
in schools for the deaf and for recog-
milton Of such schools as SCHOOLS and
not as asylums, as some communi-
ties still regard them"
Without hesitation Mr.. Hughes re-
peated the declarations Of President
Hall and rounds of applause were won
from large groups Of hearing" visit
ors who today augmented the ranks
Of the deaf delegates. The demonstra-
ton was said to be unique.
In the audience were delegates who,
after receiving training in schools for
the deaf, became editors, authors,
chemists, preachers. artists, sculptors,
teachers, stock market operators.
bond salesmen-and one winner of a
beauty prize and one poet.
Tracing the development Of schools
for the deaf to the present day, when
there noW are to be found such in
situations in every State in the Union,
DR.. Hall declared:
THE greatest need is an endless edu,
cational campaign among the powers
that be and among the general pub
lie as to the true nature Of our schools
for the deaf. They are still in some
States classed as charitable institu.
lions by State laws. But perhaps
more unfortunate than this is the lack
of knowledge on the part Of school
teachers, business men and the public
that the schools are strictly educa-
tional institutions and that the chill
dren in these schools are entitled to
the very best instruction, the best
equipment possible-all at public eX-
penSe."
Another need, DR.. Bell said, is a
law in every State providing compul-
sorry schooling of IL years for deaf
children.
A number of reports were given
and Miss Velma S. Bra ssell, class of
80. Gallaudet College, gave a recita-
ton in sign language.
