Under Mer Many Disadvantage She Masters Speech and Becomes Elo quentHer Touching Talk In Public Finished oratory could not have claimed closer attention from an audi ence than did the half-blurred, yet happy words which fell from the lips of Helen Keller, the famous deaf end blind girl at Mount Airy a few days ago. Her speech, was the crowning event of the proceedings of the Ameri can Association to Promote the Teaching- of Speech to the Deaf, now holding its summer meeting in the building of the Pennsylvania, institution. Clad in a girlish costume, with dark ring-lets falling' to her shoulders and a bright smile illuminating her face, she took the platform to talk on. "The Value of Speech to the Deaf." The fame of her accomplishments had attracted many people, both scientific and curious, all anxious to hear tike' af flicted girl, who is declared by her teachers to be the brightest of any of ber age, not excepting those in posses sion of the full five senses. She was introduced by Miss Sara Fuller, princi pal of the Horace Mann school, Boston, where she received th greater part of her education. Without a trace of em barrassment she began ker little speech. To many of her hearers the articulation was somewhat indistinct, and for the benefit of those familiar with the signs of the deaf and dumb Dr. Alexander Graham Bell translated her words by the manual alphabet. She said: "If you knew all the joy I feel in be ing able to speak to you to-day I think ycu would have some idea of the value of speech to the deaf, and you would understand why I want every deaf child in all this great world to have an op portunity to learn to speak. I know that much has been said and written on the subject, and that there is a wide difference of opinion among teachers of the deaf in regard to oral instruc tion. It seems very strange to me that there should be this difference of opin ion; I cannot understand how anyone interested in our education can fail to appreciate the satisfaction we feel in being able to express our thoughts in living words. Why, I use speech con stantly, and I cannot begin to tell you bow much pleasure it gives me. "Of course I know that it is not al ways easy for strangers to understand trie, but it will be by and by; and in the mean time. I have the unspeakable happiness of knowing that my family and friends rejoice in. my ability to speak. My little sister and baby broth er love to have me tell them stories in the long summer evenings when I am at home, and my mother and teacher often ask me to read to them from my favorite books. I also discuss the po litical situation with my dear father, find we decide the most perplexing questions quite as satisfactorily to our selves as if I could see and ihear. So you see what a blessing speech is to me. It brings me into closer and tenderer relationship with those I love, and makes it possible for me to enjoy the sweet companionship of a great many persons from whom I should be entire C. W.

"1 can remember the time, be for I learned to epeak, and how I used to struggle to express my thoughts by -means of the manual alphabet how my thoughts used to beat aganst my finger tips like the little birds striving to gain their freedom, until one day Miss Fuller opened wide the prison door and let them escape. I wonder if she remem bers how eagerly and gladly they spread their wings and flew away. Of course it was not easy at first to fly. The speech wings were weak and broken and had lost all the grace and beauty that had been theirs; indeed, nothine was left- save the, impulse to ny, but that was sometning. "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. But, nevertheless, it seemed to me sometimes, that I could never use my speech wings an God intended I should use them; there were so many difficulties in the way, so many discouragements; but I kept on trying, knowing that patience and perseverance would win. in the end. And while I worked I built the most beautiful air castles and dreamed dreams, the pleasantest of which was of the time when I should talk like other people; and the thought of the pleasure it would give my mother to hear my voice once more sweetened every effort and made every failure au incentive to try harder next time. "So I want to say to those who are trying to learn to speak, and those who are teaching them: 'Be of good cheer. Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come to-morrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you perse vere, and you Will find a joy in overcom ing obstacles a delight in climbing rugged paths which you would per haps never know, if you rlid not some times, slip backward ; if the road was always smooth and pleasant. Remem ber, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost. Some time, somewhere, somehow, we shall find that which we seek. We shall speak, yes, and sing, too, as God in tended wewhould speak and sing." At the conclusion of .her speech Miss Keller conversed for a short time with her teacher, Miss Sullivan, to show the audience her method of reading the mo tion of the lips simply by resting a forefinger vertically upon them. Sho is so expert in telegraphy of this kind that she can understand everything Miss Sullivan says when talking at the rate of 200 words a minute. Philadel phia Record.
