Author Description

Excerpt from American Annals of the Deaf and Dumb, Vol. 5 In examining the returns of the Census, I will not go into the details of each state. The population of some of the states is too small to make the proportion of deaf mutes of much statistical value, and moreover, in the several New England states, this proportion is greatly affected by the fact that a large proportion of their deaf mutes were absent from the families to which they belong, being collected into one school at Hartford. A like circumstance affects the propor tion in the middle states, though to a less degree. I shall therefore class the states in sections, so arranged as to place together those most alike in certain circumstances.
