TEACHING THE DEAF
A WIRELESS SYSTEM. London schools are to try a new and ingenious apparatus, resembling in appearance a wireless receiver with loudspeaker attached, which is designed' to help deaf and almost deaf children. When a switch in the circuit is changed over, the loudspeaker is converted into a microphone, operating 12 pairs of headphones with an independent volume-control for each. For radio reception, or oral instruction by the teacher, each of the 12 children in a class can adjust the volume of the sound to suit himself. “The instrument has been tried experimentally with astonishing success." says a L.C.C. committee report. “We arc very strongly advised that its use may have a very important influence on the methods of teaching the deaf who have any residual hearing.” Eight instruments, at a cost, of £496, arc recommended.
