DEAF CHILDREN
FORGOTTEN" IN
SCHOOLS HERE
Facilities Lacking fol
Their Education

This is about the Districts "for-
gotten children"
Children who, through partial or
total deafness, are compelled to
foregO the right to an adequate
education because facilities for
teaching them are so meager as to
be negligible.
True, partially deaf children
may sit in the front row and try
to get what the teacher is saying;
or the totally deaf child may at
tend the Columbia Institute for
the Deaf-provided the parents
are willing to part with the child
for "a hours.a day.
THE CASE OF MARY RAY.
Take the case of Mary Ray. aged
six, which isn't her name of course.
Mary lives with her parents in
Takoma Park. She. came here
from Chicago a few months ago.
Mary is deaf because Of measles.
The only way she can get an edu-
cation is to live at the Columbia
Institute for the Deaf, which uses
the sign language. Or by attend
ing the washington League for the
Hard of Hearing, which holds
classes in lip-reading at the EpiS'
copal Eye, Ear and Nose Hospital
once week starting in october.
LIP-READNG CLASSES
She may also attend lip-reading
classes for children Saturday at
the Curtis School.
But when it comes to getting a
normal education among normal
children, Mary is out of luck. And,
according to DR.. Joseph Murphy,
of the Health Department, if her
parents don't take advantage Of
the Columbia Institutes facilities,
"that's their responsibility
ours.'
Asked how many deaf or par
TALLY deaf children there are in
the District, DR.. Murphy admitted
he didn't know. Neither does the
superintendent of schools, DR..
Frank w. Ballou.
Both have hazy idea that there
may be about S." That was the
best estimate either could give, be-
cause nobody-the schools or the
Health Department, which ex-
amines all children-haS ever
kept records.
HOPE ON HORIZON
However, there is one bright
spot on the horizon. A special
committee composed Of three doc
tors and one lip-reading teacher is,
after all these years, studying the
Baltimore schools methods of
training deaf or partially deaf
children.
DR.. Murphy admitted that other
cities solve their problems by
simplifying systems with a spe-
cial teacher to help partially deaf
pupils over the educational road.
Each year-for many years
the Board of Education has asked
Congress for extra funds for Spe-
cial teachers for its sight COLI
servation and deaf classes. And
every year it has been slashed
from the budget.

GERMAN ARNY

Concession by Hitler Pro-
vides for Occupation
by Slow Stages

MUNICH, Sept. 80. (UP)
A historic four-power agree
ment for cession of Czecho-
slovakia's Sudetenland TO
Germany was sealed today
by the British and German
pledge to work jointly for
the peace of Europe and the
decision "never to go to war
with one another again."
Premier Chamberlain for
Great Britain and Fuehrer
Adolph Hitler for Germany
agreed to use consultative
methods to settle further dis
putes, promised to continue
efforts to consolidate Euro
pean peace, and said that
they regarded the Sudeten
agreement and Anglo-Ger-
men naval agreement as
symbolic of the decision Of
these two peoples never to war
again.
Previously, Daladier Of France
issued a friendship note hsiling
the Munich meeting as a histori-
cal date for Europe and assuring
that France had no hostility for
Germany.
Meantime, the Czech legation
in London announced that the
Czechoslovak government accept
ed the four.power Munich agree
ment.
German troops are scheduled TO
make their ceremonial entry, with
Hitler expected to be at their
head, into the Sudetenland late
Saturday.
Britain, France, Germany and
Italy early today signed a COM
promise agreement for surrender
of Czechoslovakia's strife-torn Su-
deten areas to Germany without
bloodshed.
The agreement Of the "bg
four" racing against time to head
off general war, came only q
hours before the October ] Zero
hour" fixed by Adolf Hitler for
an invasion of the Sudetenland.
Germany's occupation Of the
Sudeten areas with token force
of Nazi troops will begin Satur-
day-the day which millions had
looked forward to with fright as
the day of war-and must be COM
pleted by October 10.
An international police force"
of British, French and Italian pa
trolls will move into the Gcrm"n
areas farther in the interior d
take over authority pending pl'
iscite-on the lines of the Saar
voting-which must be held with
in two months.
In an annex to the plan Of sur
rendering the Sudetenland to Hit
Ter, the four powers specified that
the claims of the Polish and Hun
garian minorities under Praguc'S
rule must be settled within three
months-either by plebiscites or
direct agreements.
Then, when the Polish and Hun
garian questions are satisfactorily
out of the way, Germany, Italy.
Britain and France will make
formal guarantee of the "ncw
Czechoslovakia's" integrity. pledG-
ing themselves against any further
dismemberment.
Announcement Of the signing
of the agreement was made by
Prime Minister Chamberlain at
1890 a. M, as he emerged, weary
but smiling, from the brownstone
where the four states
men had worked through the day
and most of the night.
The plan was dispatched to the
Czechoslovak government before
dawn.
Thus the final decision of peace
was made by President Edua"d
Benes and the Czech government.
The conferees Of the four wes-
tern powers had been confident
that Czechoslovakia would be pre-
vailed upon to accept the deci-
sions.
Britain and France were able
to tell Prague that, in the nine
hours of historic consultation

marching into Czcchoslovakia and

The Polish government ignored

for orders from Warsaw to ad-

Poland's attitude was that de-

sjble spokesmen said the Poles feel
thev we're not party to the con-
ference and not obliged to abide
by its decisions.
Government leaders emphasized
that the problem Of the lower
Silesian district was not settled by
the Munich conference; that on
the contrary the situation was be-
coming more serious hourly.

first official comment regarding
the decision of the four great Eu-
ropean powers in Munich yester-
dav. The fact that the conference
foresaw Poland and Hungary
eventually getting satisfaction for
their territorial claims, was not
commented upon. But a foreign
office spokesman, by telephone
from Warsaw, said that Poland
