"‘Mute” Given Hearing

“Talked” in Pantomime Until Taken to School. Indianapolis.—Whether a sturdy little youngster brought to them as a route is really deaf and lacking the powers of speech, as his parents believe, is a matter which teachers of School No. 9, Vermont and Davidson streets, are trying to determine through methods employed in the atypical department of the institution The child, who is six, too young to enter the Indiana School for the Deaf, was brought by bis parents, both routes, to the school in hope that he might be educated. His two sisters are mutes, and because the two al ways talked in pantomime, he was thought also to be a mute. He was MRS.

Crop Yield Above Ten-Year Average

Improved Agricultural Condition Is Reported. Washington.—Continuation of the improved agricultural situation as compared with last year was an nounced by the Department of Agriculture to be in progress recently when a review of conditions was made. “The general course of prices of farm products has been slightly down ward recently,” the review said, “but other commodities have also declined slightly, so that the October index of purchasing power of farm products in terms of non-agricultural commodities remained at 92 per cent of pre-war. compared with 81 per cent in October last year.” The general yield of crops has been brought up above the ten-year average by the mild fail weather, It was stated but production this year is about 3 per cent less than last year. Discussing the situation by regions, the department said weather in the East had been favorable for fall work and wheat was reported to be show Ing good stands Drought in the eastern part of the

put in charge of a teacher in the room known as atypical B which Is provided for beginning pupils who are particularly backward and unable to keep pace with the average child of . that age. Finds Boy Can Hear. The first thing the teacher learned was that the boy could hear, though with some difficulty This led her to believe that he might be taught to articulate. The fact that he never had, might be attributed to a psychological rather than a physical cause, she believed, inasmuch as all his life he had been associated with mutes. On the assumption that the child could be taught to understand and express himself in the English language, the teacher first began instnfetion in lip-reading. As a pupil, he showed unusual attentiveness and quickness of perception. Within nine days he had learned the meaning of nearly a score cf words which be understood from the motion of the teacher’s lips. Heretofore, he could comprehend ideas only through pantomime such as be employed. Assured of success in this direction, the teacher set about determining how much the youngster could hear. She found that he responded to sound. As she continued to work with him, bis hearing seemed to grow better and now he hears sufficiently to understand four words — “boy,” “girl,” “shoe” and his name. la order to explain to his teacher just how he heard and felt the sound of a piano note wiien she struck it, he pointed first to the floor, then his shoe, his body and his ear. Shows Normal Tendencies. In meeting the problem of teaching him to talk, the teacher first began by saying and in turn having him pronounce after her three vowels. This he does with an enunciation that is surprising in view of his history She has forbidden him to attempt to say words, as his parents have tried to get him to do in their unintelligible way. That the youngster has a keen sense of humor is evinced in his association with his teacher whom he has learned to love and obey .eagerly, and with his classmates. He is end’ wed with the usual tendencies of the normal American boy to put himself in the right. When he got in a fight recently with a taller boy in the room in the teacher’s absence, he made it evident in pantomime gestures to the

South has made germination and growth of winter crops very poor, as I was also the case to some extent in ; Texas. The Middle Southern states j have been more favored and the gen- i eral condition of the South is ap- j patently improved over last year. Much soft corn is reported in the eastern portion of the corn belt, some of which, it was stated, will not even make feed. General conditions in the winter wheat belt are reported the best in five or six years in the North, but not greatly different from last year in the southern part of the belt. “The range country is going into winter, for the most part, with an abundance of feed and with stock in excellent condition,” said the department. “The cattle industry shows every evidence of stimulation; restocking ranges, cows high priced, good income from this fall's shipments of both feeder and slaughter stock. “The sheep industry likewise is optimistic, Western feeding areas running twice as many lambs as last year. The whole picture for the mountain states is a favorable one.”

Will Try Living Under Ancient Laws. San Francisco. — Five thousand American men, women and children plan to move to an ancient Egyptian city by the Nile and prove they can live there harmoniously ami progressively without benefit of modern conveniences. This was the announcement made by Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, national president of the Kosecruclan Order, a philosophical cult. Doctor Lewis declared plans were being made to have the expedition sail late next year. The city of Tel-el-Amarna. sun city of Amenhotep the fourth, founder of the Rosecrucian Order. Is the site picked for the experiment. Doctor l.ewis said. The expedition will con tain an approximate even number of men and women, all carefully selected for their physical fitness and devotion to the principles of the teachings under which they are to live. “There will also be several children.” Doctor Lewis said. "Establishment of families will be encouraged."

| of the semester ar.l most of the fellows had gone home. “If Tom Johnson were only here,’’ Gibler remarked, “Id be able to get by all right.” “How come?” his roommate asked him. “Well, Tom has a drag with the dean, and I know he could get me reinstated just by asking.” Gibler accepted the Hindu proverb that if you have a friend on the police force, respect for the law is not essential. He believed thoroughly in making friends with the sons of Belial. It is a curious and rather general point of view that if we know some one of importance or even if we know somebody who knows somebody in a position of influence that fact entitles us to special consideration, special privilege, the right to ignore regulations and to violate the law. A boy came to me not long ago to enlist my help in getting a job. “My father <s very well acquainted with Senator Blank.” he said, “and he knows - And then he named a long list of more or less prominent citizens and officers of the state. “How would that fact help you to do a job well?’’ I inquired. “Well, I suppose it wouldn’t.” he was forced to reply. “And what about the boy who wants a job and whose father is so unfortunate as not to know anyone of importance?” “He’d just be out of luck.” “We never hold it against a boy who wants work that his father knows a lot of prominent people. He has just as good a chance as anyone else.” He looked at me curiously; but 1 don’t think he understood. It was unintelligible to him that anyone who knew a congressman or a policeman didn’t have a better chance to get something he wanted than another not so fortunately situated. It is interesting to see how often a man, when he wants something that he has no legal right to have, shows me a badge or a button or a membership card in some organization to which I myself belong, or brings me a letter from an acquaintance of prominence, saying: “Mr. Brown Is a man of Influence

Reopening of Old Mines Spooky Job for Workers McAdoo, Pa. —Days when miners worked for 90 cents a day instead of the present minimum of $5.30 daily were recalleu at Sayre colliery, between here and Mt. Carmel, recently, when the old Aristes section of the Sayre mines was reopened. Idle for 40 years, during which time the workings were allowed to collapse and timbers to decay the presence of coal that could not be recovered in the days of primitive mining has resulted in the Lehigh Valley Coal company arranging to again work the gangways and to pull the pillars left when the mine was abandoned two generations ago. Miners find this reopening of old workings a “spooky" task and do not like It Taking the water out after 4*> years leaves long strands of chemical “slush” hanging from the roofs I and when the miners walk Into these I hangings in the dark they get a thrill that is hard to stand. At Aristes slope they found a car of coal ttrnt had been loaded by ; miners who left it in the workings [ and never took It out. nor were paid ) for it. Standing in acid mine water for 40 years did not destroy the vehicle. One wheel was corroded through and the tracks on which it stood still are there, rusty streaks, but still some metal in them.
