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 seven and sixteen 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 four are invited to communicate with the Director, or with

THE SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION. Wellington.
