In the education of the deaf there are lu uae two methods of imparting Information the manual, or French method, lnc.tudlrg the use of the sign language, manual alphabet and writing, and the oral, or German method. 4n which is employed speech and speech reading and writing.

How Speech Beading is Taught, Speech reading to one Of the most wonderful thing, at least to a novice, that is taught at the school. In teaching it, the movement of articulation are shown by placing the back ot the pupil's "hand in front of the mouth for breath emissions: by placing his hand on the chest in order that he may cot chest vibrations: by having him notice the vibratory motion of the larynx, and by placing the VvTAi 1 Lf flrrer alongside the nose to call to his attention, nasal ribration. Attention Is also drairn to the xaovements of the lipe and of the positions of the orpins wlU ln the cavities ot the mouth and throat, by actual sight or by diacrams tUos tratlYfc tbeir positiorj. The pupil is then ur to imitate the positions, rlvic Tcice. for certain slnie sonndst or combinaxkyiis of two or more sl'irle sounds, or stlil larrer combina tloss aceorcir.r as the exigencies of the cae renalreu IefectiTe voice, improper register.

The oral method was used as early as MOCK HAND.

179). principally in Germany, and the tlrst tc acher to on its being used as the 'e mraiia iiiBiruciion 'vc At this same time the Abbe de l'Epe in France. devled and perfected the manual method, and Insisted on signs as the only system of imparting information to the deaf. It wa the latter method that was adopted by the founders of the American asylum for the deaf, at Hart ford. in lal7, the first institution educating the deaf in the United State.

On account of this, the manual method "ooii had a strong following In various parts of the country, but in iy one or two schoc i were started in New F.ngiand for thi purpose of teaching all deaf persons by the previously condemned oral method, and despite consid of tms method was simply of no real pract erable opposition, ami the claim tnat a an piisnment. ana oi no real practical value, it gradually grew in favor. From time Immemoitlal there haa existed a sign langnaRe rf a primitive nature, but the education of the deaf has resulted' in its development and the widening of its scope and use. Many of the signs are natural ones that is. thy fend to outline or suggest the idea, action make frequent use of them in fiaily intercourse.

Others are hlehly arbitrary, and have grown to fixity through custom or tacit agreement, there serming to be no natural reason for their 'being. The order wherein the qualifying attribute follows the objective is adhered to in the sin lanpu ie. and. In thin It differs from the syntactical ord.jr of the English language Use of Manual Alphabet. In addition to the sign there Is still another method besides writing by which one can communicate with the deaf, and one which Is universally used! by them the manual alphabet, or finxer spelling, certain positions of the fingers representing the letters of the alphabet.

It Is a borrowed art for the deaf, as it was neither originated by them nor for them. It seems to have been used by the Assyrians and evidences of Its have been traced on monuments of art down to the fifteenth century. Many methods of finger spelling were Invented by monks, under rigid vows of silence, and others who desired secret manner of communication. They all seem to be on the linger signs for numbers in use among the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. The first finger alphabet adopted In teaching the deaf was a Spanish one hand alphabet, as devised by Pedro Pone de Ieon.

a monk who lived in Spain between 1Kb and 15M. Later, with some changes. It was Introduced Into France, and again later, 1S17, Into this country by Br. T. H.

Gallaudet. In Eng jan1 aad Bome other places the alphabet In common use la the two hand alphabet, and the one hand is as uncommon there as the two har.d Is here. It was In 1M1 that the first teacher of deef mutes wandered into 'Indiana. He was Jamos McLean, a graduate of the New York Institution and opened a small school in Parke cour.ty. For a few months he struggled alcng iwith his school of five or six pupils and then grew discouraged and gave up.

In 1M2, however. William Rales, the ffather of a deaf mute, got a bill through the General Assembly appropriating a small sum of money for the payment of a teacher forj the deaf, and In 1S43 he fathered, a bill providing for.a special tax for the maintenance of a school. At about this time. William Wlllard. a graduate of the American Asylum, at Hartford, and a BRIdADE.

teacher in the Ohio Institution, came to Indianapolis for the rurpose of establishing a private school. After traveling about the State In search of pupils he opened his school in Vashicgton street, near Illinois, with twelve students. In an incorporating board of nine trustee was appointed bV the General Assembly and organized the "Indiana Asylum tor Deaf aad Dumb." with Mr. Wil lard aa principal. It first session wa begun in October, 1544.

in rented quarters at, Illinois and Maryland streets, with a membership of sixteen pupils. Brightness of Deaf Children. In speaking of deaf mutes, the other day. Superintendent Johnson said that they are not so UinVrent from ether per sons as some imagine. Of course, aa children, they are BkelV to appear a trt2e dull for their ags becae.i through lack of heartrg.

they lose much that other children gather unconsciously, but after they have learned to understand others and be understood they make rapid progress in many instances aruL a number of them have made en table reputations as artisans, artists and writers. He laughed at the idea that deaf children were lacking la imagination and cited a case that came to his notice last season. He noticed that animated arrcTseat was going on among a number cf or and. upon lnr into the cause. was informed that a llttSe tow hairsd fellow was tnsixtir that the sen.

Mr. Wlngate goe back to the day of to begin hi story, 'in In aya or tb olJ Tippecanoe Harrison campaign, says, "the old Tippecanoe! batUe Kvcnd seven mile north of Lafayette, was a famous point ror the gathering, ot Republicans, The reason fori this, of course, wa that it was on that spot where General Harrison fought and de feated the Indians. People In thue days would come for mile and miles' to attend the gatherings. There were no railroads. and.

necessarily, they had to drive. At ore meeting. I remember heating my mother say. the presence of a bra bandi from Pittsburg. wa a great attract tlan.

It had come down the river to Cincinnati, and then had driven across the country to the battleground1 rally. Two weeks. I believe my mother said, wer consumed in the trip. "Uut about the hat. It was first worn by my grandfather.

Christian Coon; or Old Zip Coon, as he wa popularly known in that part of the country. He haa a eon who clerked In a store In PhlladeW phla who had made a present of an elegant white beaver hat of the style then popular in the Quaker city.

of this city, ran for President. A big rally on the old Tippecanoe battlefield had been announced and I was preparing to attend It. I was discussing some of the old emblems that would be displayed on that day. when my mother said to me: 'John, why don't you et iout your grandfather's old white beaver bat that tie wore to the big two days' rally on the battleground in 1M0? "The old hat was taken out of an old cnest. where crumpled and crushed.

had lain for year.
