EDUCATION OF DEAF MUTES.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this day. Few people seem to be aware that the Education Department has legislative authority to compel parents and guardians to" send afflicted children to the Government school for deaf mutes, which is carried on at SumneT, near Christdmreh, by Mr G. Van Asche. Experience has proved that deaf mates can be well educated in the institution if they are sent there when they are young, and for a considerable time past efforts have been made by the Education Department to have all afflicted children in the colony placed in the school. Parents and guardians who are in a position to do so 3 are required to pay for the whole or part of the maintenance of their children in the institution, but in the case of very poor people the cost is borne by the State. Mr Van Asche, the director, who has been in Wellington for sow days, states that he is surprised to find that there is quite a lar<re number of deaf mutes in this district.
