 DEAF AND DUMB 735 proved French or manual system is employed ; most give more or less instruction in articula- tion, a special teacher being employed in some. Several of those lately established make artic- ulation a specialty, viz., those at Northamp- ton and Boston, the New York institution for improved instruction, and Whipple's private school. The controversy as to the relative value of the two systems was opened in 1844 by Horace Mann and Dr. S. G. Howe, and has been carried on ever since. It has occasioned numerous visits to and reports on the leading European schools. The most important re- ports are those by Lewis Weld (1844), the Rev. G. E. Day (1844 and 1859), H. P. Feet (1851), the Rev. E. Ryerson (1867), E. M. Gallaudet (1867), and Miss H. B. Rogers (1872). Both boys and girls are trained to habits of industry by assisting in household duties. Wherever the resources permit, instruction is given in mechanical arts. The following table gives statistics for the year 1872 : INSTITUTIONS FOE THE DEAF AND DUMB IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA.
