For Deaf and Dumb In India.

Fourteen years ago a school was opened in Palamcottah, South India, for deaf and dumb children, the only missionary effort among the 200,000 deaf of India. About 300 children of! every race and creed, from all parts of India, and sent by every missionary society, have passed through the school, and over a hundred are studying there now. The Hindus are' beginning to realize the good of educating the deaf, and last year asked government help to enable them to open a school in Madras. Last January a small school was opened in Madras; already It is full with Ifr children. —Missionary Review.
