ander Graham Bell, the inven-
tor of the telephone. But prob
ably not many of us, including
this writer, knew that he was
primarily a teacher of the deaf
and hard of hearing, and that
he developed his invention as
part Of his study Of speech
sounds and hearing problems,
Consequently, an important
project now occupying the at
tention of Mrs. Florence Molls
sixth grade children ct the
Hard Of Hearing School in the
Chambers annex takes on a new
meaning. They are studying the
life Of Alexander Graham Bel
and his invention Of the tele-
phone, and are planning a
demonstration and dramatixa-

gram in the near future.

supervisors of the deaf and hard
of hearing from all over this
part of the country. They will
be the guests Of Miss Alice
Kent, Director Of the Chambers
Annex School, and her staff o1
