The Kihtattor contains tlie first report we have seen of the br'uj session of the "Convention of American Instruc'ois of the Deaf," hehl at Chicago on Friday afternoon, July 2 1st. was the object of this stsion anl whv was it hold? At the New York Convention it was decided to hold a meeting of What the Convention during the time of tin World's Fair, at such a place as the Committee might lind most for the advantage of the members of the profession, to report upon a plan of re organization of the Convention. The matter was left in the hands of the Standing Executive Committee. One would naturally suppose, from the great importance of the matter under consideration that the committee in charge would have seen to it that every member of the "Convention of American Instructors of the Deaf"' would have been notified of the time of this special meeting so they could have arranged to be there and lake part in its deliberations and vote upon the report to be presented. Was this J one? Xo, far from it. The time of this meeting of the Convention was not made public and if mentioned, only to a select few, who could be counted on to do the bidding of the Committee. On the last dav but one of the Congress ami the last hour of the meeting of that day, when but a handful of the members of the Convention were present the Convention was called to order, the report of the Committee was presented, immediately adopted irithotft (f tfiwittittf rote anil adjourned. And what was their report? That the "Convention of American Instructors of the Deaf make to the "American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf t 'ttf,'t' looking to a union of the the-Conventio- two organizations. What ! ! ! The "Convention of the American Instructors of the Deaf an association whose Conventions, and I repeat '( Dr. Oallaudefs own words, without imiVd in the hitfory th trurldxu association whose history covers a period of over forty years, this association make onrtmr to an association that his been in existance three short years and depends for its very existance upon one man? We cannot believe it possible. The overture should come from the other Underneath the surface. party. What is tin; meaning of the move-ment- ? It means that the "Association of American Instructors of the Deaf aftei nearly half a century of organization will pass out of existance and it will be announced to the world that the manual and combined method of instruction have been repudiated in America and the result so ardently hoped for by the ultra- - oralists will be attained. We wish to repeat what we have said before that we are heartily in favor of oral instruction. We wish to see every pupil who can benefit by such instruction receive it, but we are not in favor of turning down the system of instruction which has given the American schools their present standing, and shall oppose all movements in that direction. We hope to see a full discussion of this question and when every one has memhad a chance to be heard, bers of the association mav lie given a chance to vote on the proposition. f - There have been some changes in our school since last year. .Miss (irace Zorbaugh, teacher of articulation, resigned at the close of the term. Her place was tilled by the appointment of .Miss S. II.Devereux, teacher of articuation for a number of years past in the Arkansas School. .Mrs. F. W. Mctcalf, who has been matron of the school for the past four years, has returned to her old position intheclass room, having charge of the first and third primary classes. She has been succeeded as matron by M rs. Marv McAvov. Miss Stilller's class has been divided. She retaining the second and fourth vear pupils and the special class, i. e., primary pupils who cannot work with any of the regular classes. The other classes remain the same as last year. The only change, in the industrial classes is in the instructor of sewing occasioned bv the change of matron. Everything starts out well and points to a successful year's work. - - - The following pupils have been enrolled up to date in the order named 1 Luella Allied, Lewiston, Idaho. 2 Ezra Christensen, Spanish Fork. : Salt Lake.

Ada Davis, In speaking of the family life of deaf pupils outside of the school room, Prof. IJeiijainin Talbot, of the Ohio Institution, said that the teacher must take the parents? place, but much more must the Superintendent, or head of an institution. The latter must be a rare man a man of large mind, deep sympathy, great executive ability, one to whom the pupils can go as they would to their parents. It is a. great wrong, lie adds, to inflict these children with a half a dozen step fathers in a ten years' stay at school. Happy the school which will keep the right man in the right place.
