A school for the deaf should be located in the country, out within easy dis- It should be so far lemovtd tLatthe young hail be free lrom tbe physical and moral dangers of city life, and have ample grounds for tance of a city. recreation aud rural health-givin- g pursuits. These advantages can be combined with reasonable proximity to town. It is desirable that teachers andiupils keep in touch and abreast with city life and thought, and that skilled professional man and expert mechanics should be within reach for the emergency that frequently occurs and must be promptly met. The best location for a school like this is at some point not less than two h ie more than ten mi'es distant from l ie capital, the metropolis, or other i nportanttown in the state, srud within mile of a railroad depot.

How bard it must be for parents to keep children away from getting tbe bentiits this school affords: When a deaf child is eigit years of age, it sh mid be sent here right along. An education for the deaf is the greatest blessing, and the one keeping such in 'gnorance is a criminal. Pe ican. indication of the advance the profession is making. Young men holding a degree from Harvard or Yale, who supplement this high standard of qualification with a special training at "Washington, may not all develop remarkable qualities as teachers, but they certainly have an advantage in the effort. There will always be opportunities for deaf teachers to find encouragement, but they must merit the distinction. The Canadian Mad'.
