Around Alexander Melville Hell's theory of "visible speech" George Bernard Shaw wrote his play "FY2- malign." And in 18.60 Melville Bell and his brother David published "Bell's Standard Dlecutionist," which in all years 'since "ha si never had a rival" and remains "the last word on the subject" From the time he was a very little boy, Alexander Graham Bell listened eagerly to his father's and grandfather's; theories, which in- directly were to bring about his in- vention of the teleelfone; the inven- tion also of the photophone and the modern phonographic record. Mr. Bell was one of the first be- lievers im aerial flight and carried on many experiments in it even be- fore the year 1896, concentrating lat- er on a device for getting a flying machine off the water and bringing It beck to water again, which had its ultimate development in the Amer - Mau seaplane.

However, his wife's and his mother's deafness,. she thinks, 'could not have been without influence. Thereader will agree with her that the work of Alexander Graham Bell, "that every child who is deaf should have full opportunity of being educated on the pure oral system to speak and to read the lips," should make•him renowned as an educator "eveeeit he had done nothing else." 1, a 0 CHAPLAIN Ob' TRAMPS.
