Snapshots from
The Seashore House
By LEILA M. 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.

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.
