HOLT For over a week we have had as our guests sixty little friends from a school in Philadelphia, ! sixty little children, who, accord ing to a ten-year-old custom, will spend two weeks playing in the sand and flirting with Old Ocean. What beautiful specimens are our visitors, perfect arms and legs, trunks beautifully formed, and faces radiating joy. One fact only renders them eligible to our sanctuary. The children are deaf. Never have they heard mother’s call nor music, “the voice of angels.” However, everything is being done to outwit Nature’s error, and sooner or later the little deaf children will become useful citizens. Thirty some years ago Miss Emma and Miss. Mary Garrett heard of a deaf child whose de voted mother had taught him to talk and concluded that what was possible for one was possible for all. With ten children to start they founded “The Home for the Training in Speech of Deaf Chil dren Before They Are of School Age.” Located at Belmont and Monument Avenue, it has, become ; a State institution, thoroughly; modern, beautifully equipped, free to Pennsylvanians and open' to others at cost.

J. j. “Welch Built Homes” Welch Construction Company -JSfcranaer Ocwui City, New Jersey Miss Mary Garrett, the founder and head of the school, left no stone unturned to further her' project. - The masters of Peda gogy, Rouseau, Pestalozzi, Froe bel and Herbart were studied but offered no light on the education of the deaf. So it fell to the lot of Mjss Garrett to devise her own method. Turning to nature for her inspiration, she taught the children words objectively. From words she introduced sentences and from sentences reading mat ter. The success of her system has been phenomenal bringing to the surface capacities otherwise doomed to oblivion. Entered al the age of two, the earlier the better, according to Miss Garrett, a child can read after four years, and after three more enter public school with normal children con tinuing through the high school. For the want of funds many of the children are unable to finish their education and take up trades. It is interesting to note the importance of learning a trade among the hearing. Since the deaf must work among normal people Miss Garrett insists their preliminary work should be learned among them. Former students have become" cabinet makers, sign and house painters, dressmakers, milliners, auditors and government inspectors, and without exception, all are making good. A caretaker assured me that the influence of the school is farther reaching than one would suppose. Many an ill-kept family has been transformed by the re entry of a deaf brother or sister who has gone home fired with ideals of cleanliness, cheerfulness and resourcefulness. Nowhere is patience and love of humanity better exemplified than in the lives of Miss Garrett and her corps of teachers. Some times a year’s effort-will be re warded with an inarticulate sound which at a later date will, like the 'ij sudden opening of a flower, be come a speaking voice. The-most backward cases, respond, in some instances so marvelously that deafness cannot be detected. The storyi is told of an ex-pupil who tried his best to enlist in the army. So successful was his physical examination that the officers wouldn’t believe he couldn’t hear a sound. ' - ' While talking to a caretaklr a bright-eyed, freckle-faced boy of eight was summoned. Our con- — versation, plainly discernible, ran thus: Q% “Where is your home?” A. “Pittsburgh.” ■ Q. “Where were you on your vacation?” • I A. “New York.” I Q. “Who took you?” I A. “Mother.” Q. “Did she wear a pretty dress?” . A. “Yes." Q. “What color was it?” A. “Purple.” Q. “Did you wear a dress too?” A. “No!” most emphatically including a twinkle in his eye.
