Excerpt from Notes and Observations Upon the Education of the Deaf: With A; Revised Index to Education of Deaf Children Hon. John Hitz, Superintendent of the Volta Bureau. Dear Sir: In penning the following Notes and Observations while the revised edition of the Index to Education of Deaf Children was passing through the press, I have touched, upon a number of topics after a desultory fashion, and at the same time some matters worthy of systematic treatment have been omitted entirely. Chief among the omissions is the extremely important subject of the early home-training of young deaf children, a point upon which, I am glad to say, the Volta Bureau is prepared to render valuable assistance to parents. Another important omission is a word of caution against undiscriminate intermarriages of the deaf. Here, again, the Volta Bureau is prepared to furnish a special pamphlet of judicious counsel which meets the approval of men of science, a great many educators of the deaf, and, best of all, that of an ever increasing number of the deaf themselves. Though I have endeavored to write in a dispassionate way, I wish it to be understood that the Volta Bureau assumes no responsibility for the views expressed in these pages.
