Excerpt from The Deaf: Their Position in Society and the Provision for Their Education in the United States Tain as far as possible the standing of the deaf, or, as they are so often called, the deaf and dumb, in society in America, and to examine the treatment that has been accorded to them - to present an account of an element of the population of whom little is generally known. In this effort regard is had not only to the inter ests of the deaf themselves, but also, with the growing concern in social problems, to the fixing of a status for them in the domain of the social sciences. In other words, the design may be said to be to set forth respecting the deaf something of what the social economist terms a survey, or, as it may more popularly be described, to tell the story of the deaf and dumb.'
