General Hemabks Used in the initiatory steps, and as a founda- tion for explanation and correction.—James Denison, Pnnoi2)al. Mr. Denison has sent you statements regarding the Kendall School. As to the College, there is nothing to say, as we dp not teach speech therein.—B. M. Gallaudet, President. Jos. H. Johnson, Principal. Warring Wilkinson, Principal. It is thought that the time required to become adept in the use of symbols can be better spent in actual drill of vocal organs directed by teacher. It is deemed desirable, however, for teachers to be familiar with symbols.— S. T. Walker, Princijyal. Used with older pupils who have come fi'om other schools without speech until they have learned the elements. With younger pupils we prefer the phonetic or word method.— SisTEB Mahy Ann Burke, Princij^al. Used for two years ; not at all used now. It takes too much of the pupils' time, and small returns. It is well for the teachers to understand it. It does not give the help to pupils that I fully expected when I in- troduced it.—Jonathan L. Notes, Prin- cipal. D. G-reenberger, Principal. Not used, except in training teachers. We found that by substituting Miss Worcester's method for visible speech we gained much time, obtained quite as good results in speech, far better results in lip-reading, and speech became a much more sponta- neous method of expression for the pupils Caroline A. Yale, PHncijial. n 2
