Address upon the condition of articulation teaching in American schools for the deaf
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

About the author
Alexander Graham Bell
166 books23 followersBritish-born American inventor Alexander Graham Bell received the first patent for the telephone in 1876, improved the phonograph, and also invented the audiometer, an early hearing aid.
The American Telephone and Telegraph Company, nicknamed Ma Bell after Alexander Graham Bell; order to divest its local service operations in 1984 created the regional Baby Bells.
People credit this eminent scientist, engineer, and innovator with the first practical.
Work on elocution and speech associated his grandfather, father, and brother; his deaf mother and deaf wife profoundly influenced work of his life. His research on speech further led him to experiment with devices, which eventually culminated in award of his first patent in United States. In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused in his study.
His marked later life included groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, and aeronautics. In 1888, he and other members founded the National Geographic Society.
Honors and tributes flowed in increasing numbers as his most famous ubiquitous item and his personal fame. Bell received numerous honorary degrees from colleges and universities, to the extent of the almost burdensome requests. During his life, he also received dozens of major awards, medals, and other tributes. These included statuary monuments to his newly created form of communication, notably that erected in his honor in Brantford, Ontario, in 1917.
A large number of his writings, personal correspondence, notebooks, papers, and other documents reside at the manuscript division of the Library of Congress in the United States as the Alexander Graham Bell family papers and at the Alexander Graham Bell institute at Cape Breton University, Nova Scotia, with available major portions for online viewing.
A number of historic sites and other marks, including the first companies of the United States and Canada, commemorate Bell in North America and Europe.
On religious matters, Bell considered an "agnostic", much to the chagrin of his devout wife.
