The author's firsthand experience and expertise provide a compelling argument for the importance of specialized education for deaf-mutes, emphasizing the need for understanding and support from the broader society. Debates surrounding the optimal methods for educating deaf-mutes are examined, highlighting the historical context and ongoing evolution of pedagogical approaches.
