SCHOOL FOR DEAF-MUTES, SUMNER, NEAR
CHRISTCHURCH.

Under the Control and Supervision of the Education
Department.

Director : MR. J. E. STEVENS.

FOR Deaf Children of sound intellect. The pupils are
taught to use and understand ordinary speech. The
full charge for board and education is £40 a year, but less
is accepted from parents who cannot afford to pay this
amount. In case of necessity admission is free.
By the Education Act, the education of deaf children
between the ages of 7 and 16 is made compulsory. A child
is, as a rule, best fitted to begin the school course at about
the age of six, but advice should be obtained as soon as any
sign of deafness is observed.
The following classes of deaf children are admitted :—

1. Children born deaf, or who have lost their hearing
   before learning to speak.
2. Children who can hear a little, but are too deaf to
   be taught in an ordinary school.
3. Children who have lost their hearing after having
   learned to speak.
   Parents and other persons acquainted with such cases
   above the age of 4 are invited to communicate with the
   Director, or with

THE SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION,
Wellington.
