SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF, NEAR SUMNER,
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 understand and use 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 it is compulsory for deaf children
to come under instruction at the age of six, and to con-
tinue until the age of twenty-one unless the Education
Department previously grants exemption. Though a child
is, as a rule, best fitted to begin the school course at the
age of six, advice should be obtained as soon as any sign
of deafness is observed.

The following classes of deaf children are admitted to
the School for the Deaf (sound intellect being always a
necessity) :

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 a public school.
3. Children who have lost their hearing after having
   learned to speak.

The Act imposes upon every parent, teacher of a school
(either public or private), constable, or officer of a chari-
table or kindred institution who is aware of the place of
residence (either temporary or permanent) of a deaf child,
and the householder in whose house any such child re-
sides, an obligation to send notification of the fact to the
Minister of Education, giving the name, age, and address
of the child; and any neglect or failure to comply with
this provision involves liability to a fine.

Information and advice may be obtained from the

SECRETARY TO THE
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,
WELLINGTON.

MILITARY PHYSICAL ORTHOPÆDICS. PART I.
GUNSHOT WOUND OF NERVE. ARTHUR STAN-
LEY HERBERT, M.D., B.S., Lieut.-Col., N.Z.M.C. Pp. 136.
with 62 figures. Price, 6s.; postage, 6d. extra.

This volume deals exclusively with the consideration of the
later results of gunshot wound of nerve trunks and their
treatment. It is practically a record of personal experience,
as the work was done remote from other orthopaedic hospitals.
The grouping is in terms of convenience of treatment rather
than of anatomy, and deals with the physical as distinguished
from the surgical side of orthopaedics. Emphasis is laid on
the importance of promoting the voluntary action of partly
paralysed muscles by the provision of artificial muscles, and
thus rendering the results obtained by massage, electricity,
baths, douches, &c., accessory rather than indispensable. It is
claimed this method is simpler, less expensive, and more humane,
as it removes the patient from the category of invalids to that
of fairly useful workers. Great ingenuity has been exercised
in devising the different mechanical supports of special splints
and rubber muscles for the paralysed muscle, the use of
rubber as an active elastic force being particularly utilized,
and indeed is the basic idea underlying the whole system of
treatment here advocated. The book is copiously illustrated
by good figures, which add considerably to its value; the
apparatus itself is characterized by its simplicity, and has
stood the test of actual use in a large number of cases.
