It therefore makes nre nf every svallable means to educste a alven child, fitting the method to the child, rather thsn the child to the method. t.oaac la I'se, "For J0O yrura the combined method has been used In America, and the oral method In Kurope. Today the deaf people of America are unsurpassed In educational attainments and material suceesa. We who urge the combined system believe It to be the only sensible and efficient one." "We feel that Superintendent Booth Is making a mistake In using this fad system of oral teaching, and we are here In convention to protest against euch folly. He la backed by certain parents, who would rather have their children say 'Mamma' and 'Papa' In a mechanical manner, than have them educated In all the arts and sciences." President Howard lost his hearing when 8 years of age, but he can apeak quite plainly. He will make an address In the sign language this evening against the "oral" method.
