We saw nothing of sign-language. It is out of date. What attention these children give to their teacher who speaks perhaps to a class of twenty children who cannot hear at all. Yet they will know what to do instantly--tell their names, write the days of the week, the months of the year, to run across the room, clap their hands, and endless other exercises that begin to put them in touch with the rest of the world. Such infinite patience those teachers have--year in, and year out they do what seems to be impossible, and train youngsters who enter the home, in many" cases fright- ened and misunderstood; so that they become useful members of society. z EE Eo es If ever you wish to read the romance of patient effort, read the story of Helen Kellar, who was deaf, dumb and blind, but who becaem a well educated woman, able to address public audiences, through the infinite patience of her teacher. _ Persons thus taught have very little, if any, modulation of voice; and are not easily understood.

He does not have to turn his back tothe snowstorms and huddle together with the rest of the herd. His shaggy coat is ample protection, head and shoulders being specially covered. Another feature of his make-up is his method of rising from the ground when he has been resting. He rises front feet first, just as a horse does. Domestic cattle rise from the ground using hind} legs first. This may not seem to be of much consequence at first thought, but may mean the life or death of the animal after a long hard winter. . If, for instance, a weakened cow should be lying on a hillside and attempts to rise by using its hind legs first it would probably be pitched, head foremost down the hill and be killed, but by rising in the other way it regains its balance and is saved from this disaster. Many other biological facts came out description of places and facts gathered as you run.' "To meet these men who work with enthusiasm, who have for their pleasure the eagerness for discovery, who realize the in- difference of the general public, but go on with their work bécause nd because they know that th work will bring good results to Canada--such an experience is encouraging.
