THE Clerk of the Writs has received a return to
the Writ issued by him on the eleventh day of
December, 1880, for the election of a Member to
serve in the House of Representatives of New Zea-
land, for the electoral district hereinafter specified,
and by the indorsement on such Writ it appears

For the District of Suburbs of Nelson.

G. S. COOPER,
Clerk of the Writs.

Deaf and Dumb Institution, Sumner, Christchurch.

THE above Institution will be re-opened on
Saturday, the 5th February next. There is
ample accommodation for a number of additional
pupils.

It is indispensable that pupils enter at the beginning
of the quarter.

The system of instruction is that which is known
as "The Articulation System," by which deaf-mutes
are trained to the use of the organs of speech, and
learn both to speak-in the ordinary sense of the
word-and to understand (from the motion of the
lips) the speech of others. The use of finger-signs
or other conventions used as substitutes for speech
is strictly excluded.

The course of instruction includes reading and
writing in the first instance, followed by English
composition, arithmetic, geography, history, drawing,
&c.

The result of the complete course of instruction
will, in almost all cases, be to enable the pupil to read
with thorough comprehension, and to hold oral con-
versation with relatives and friends, and even with
strangers.

The charge for board and education will be £40
per annum. Persons unable to pay this rate are
invited to communicate with the Minister of Edu-
cation.

For full particulars application may be made to
the Director of the Institution, the Secretaries and
Inspectors of Education Boards, and the undersigned.
