THE DEAFENED CHILD
WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR THE
HARD-OF-HEARING CHILD?
(By Alice G. Bryant, M. D., Boston
Member Gorgas Memorial.)
The problem of the deafened are
not new, but our methods of ap
proach, interpretations . and proce
dures are new. The problem is vital
for preliminary surveys of the child
ren in our public schools by the
American Federation of Organiza
tions for the Hard-of-hearing find 3,

In 1902, Martha Bruhn founded th3
first school in lip-reading for the
deafened adult. Other schools have
been established, and they have al
exercised a profound influence and
enriched the lives of the deafened.
Dr. Frank Bock of Rochester, N
Y., believed that many of the retard
ed children in the public schools were
hard of hearing due to ear troubles!
In 1909 he was permitted to hold a
clinic in a public school; in 191&
he was able to introduce lip-reading
in the public schools of his city, and
later his appeal to hold speech corj
recting classes was granted. Today
many lip-reading teachers are active-
ly functioning. A few of the public

schools have introduced-lip-reading.
Last year a department of lip-read-was
established byy(the board of
directors of the National Education
Association. The Volta bureau has
rendered able assistance.
An accoustic engineer, Dr. Horace
Fletcher, has invented the phono
audiometer which correctly and ac
curately detects the grades of deaf
ness. It is efficiently productive, for
it permits group testing, thus shorten
ing the testing period. The percen
tage of deafness and the "danger
zone" aid ear specialists and lip
reading teachers. When the deafen-
ed school-children repeat once, twice
or more times, it is a waste of educa
tion. The pupils are penalized, but
,we are the offenders. We owe the
pupils a new valuation in education.
They become repeating machines
where efforts are stupified, spirits
are depressed and pride at a dis
count. Do not stress overhead costs. In-
crease production by -eliminating
" waste, waste of effort, time, strength
'and usefulness. Expert lip-reading
teachers will materially help to solve
the problem. They have discovered
the fact that by laborous work. They
have knowledge by conviction, as each
child must be judiciously studied and
individually taught. .
The hard-of-hearing pupil should
not be segregated or isolated. He
needs a knowledge of school condi
tions. He should associate with his
teachers and school mates. He no
longer is forgotten or falls .behind in
his classes or enters the great vast
world unheralded, unwelcomed and
unprepared to meet its problems. No
longer are his wistful hopes shatter
ed He has a romantic history of
progress. In spite of his handicap,
with strengthened confidence and un
shaken faith, backed by a full record
of progress and output, he is qualified
for his life's work and he meets it.
The captains of health and education
have been his life preservers.
