The Manual Method. — Signs, the manual alphabet, and writing are the chief means used in the instruction of the pupils, and the principal objects aimed at are mental development and facility in the comprehension and use of written language.

Page 35 - Speech and speech-reading are regarded as very important, but mental development and the acquisition of language are regarded as still more important. It is believed that in some cases mental development and the acquisition of language can be best promoted by the Manual or the Manual Alphabet method and, so far as circumstances permit, such method is chosen for each pupil as seems best adapted for his individual case.

After the giving of the Trabue Language Completion test* the conclusion was reached that children who lost their hearing before the age of four or five derived very little benefit from having once heard, when it is a question of understanding and using language.
