Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Deaf Mutes of Canada: A History Fo Their Education, With an Account of the Deaf Mute Institutions of the Dominion, and a Description of All Known Finger and Sign Alphabets The volume here presented to the reader contains a full resume of the most interesting facts concerning the Deaf-mute World. Compiled in part from many sources, it will be found to offer in an interesting form all that readers in general will care to know. To Canadians in particular the detailed account of the commencement of deaf-mute education in this country, written by one closely connected with the work from the beginning, will be found of special interest, and will place on permanent record many facts that would otherwise have been lost. It will be valued by all connected with the work in the past, and to the first generation of educated Canadian deaf-mutes, now scattered throughout the Dominion, the narrative and illustrative reminders of their earlier years, will, we are sure, be eagerly welcomed. To those hitherto unacquainted with the position and needs of deaf-mutes we hope the book will be of service in arousing an active interest in their behalf. No class needing so much, in many circumstances, the aid of intelligent sympathizers. In the words of Mr. Mathison, Superintendent of the Institution at Belleville "Uneducated, a deaf child has no knowledge of language; is isolated, as it were, from the rest of mankind; is irresponsible and in many cases dangerous to the community; life is a blank without a ray of hope to illuminate the future. With an education such as may be had here, all this is changed and the mute is enabled to take his or her place as respectable members of society and law-abiding citizens and learn of the glorious life beyond."
