MEMPHIS, Tenn, December 8.-This

the only municipal public school system
in the South that has classes for train
ing deaf children in lip reading.
Miss Mary Martin, supervisor OF the
courses, says they have proved deaf
ness is no longer a handicap to the
education progress of the child.
Furthermore, she asserts, afflicted
children, If trained early enough, de-
velop perceptions keener than those of
the normal person.
Deaf boys and girls trained by teach
ers who understand their problems see
things the average person is never con-
scious Of" Miss Martin said. "They
take in every detail of everything. The
result is that mental pictures they have
are always much clearer and more exact
than the pictures of a child with all
his faculties
This is of inestimable benefit to them
In drawing-and deaf children seem to
have SPECIAL aptitude for art. But the
thing the public marvels at most is
the deaf child's sense of rhythm. They
can stand near piano and distinguish
between the types of pieces being play
ed, although they never hear note"

OF the commission were Of this opinion.
Likewise, the networks disclaimed
any knowledge Of such instructions. In

While no confirmation could be pro-

WOMAN ATTACKS
TEMPERANCE VIEW
Mrs. William TiIton ASsai|s
Rockefeller and National
Administration.

The administration and John D.
Rockefeller, jr. we're criticized yester-
day in two statements for their stand
on the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment.
The National Prohibition Emergency
Committee hit at the incorporation Of
repeal in the national recovery pro-
gram and Mrs William Tilton, chair
man Of the Women's National Commit
tee for Education Against Alcohol, said
abstinence. not temperance. as urged by
Rockefeller. is the solution Of the
liquor question.
In an effort to bring about national
prosperity" said the Emergency Com
mittee. unprecedented powers have
been placed in the hands of the ad-
ministration We believe the use of
executive powers for this purpose is a
violation of the Constitution.
Saws Action Is Forced.
"A continuous campaign for repeal
has been carried on by certain men,
bers of the administration. especially
the Postmaster General. Controlling as
he does. the huge powers of Federal
patronage. the implication is inescapa-
bic that State committees and appli-
CantS for appointment can expect no
consideration unless vigorous support for
repeal can be shown
Members of Congress and State Of
ficials have been given to understand
that emergency relief funds and Federal
highway appropriations depend upon
favorable action on repeal by their
States The Federal prohibition bureau
has been abolished and the limited en-
forcement personnel is entirely inca
pable of carrying out the administra-
tion's promise to protect dry States"
Attacks Temperance.
Commenting on statement by
Rockefeller in which he was quoted as
urging temperance. Mrs. Tilton said a
campaign for moderation made no
headway' after the Revolutionary War
and that the campaign for total alb
stinence was pushed.
Let us believe in our Nation and
call, not for the second best. temper
ance. but for the safer. higher goal.
abstinence" she said. High failure
really gets a nation farther in the end
than cheap success.
This country is momentarily IN a
character break down. caused mainly
by war, depression and perhaps bv too
much big city -mindedness let loose
daily over the country by the city press
and radio. But the great country as a
whole, outside the few big centers, will
rediscover its virility and overcome
present character collapse"
