He writes in regard to an article in the Freeman entitled "Deaf and Dumb Asylums", to inform McMaster that though there is no order of either men of women that devotes itself exculsively to instruction of these afflicted children, the Clerics of St. Viator devote most of their time to such instruction. Their institution is at Mile End near Montreal, Father A. Belanger, C.S.V. is the supervisor. The pupils gave an exhibition to the public of their progress under the German method early last summer. This took place in the Jesuit's Hall. Although they now have such pupils, Bennett cannot say whether they will continue to receive deaf mutes. P.S.- at the last session of the Canadian Parliament some of the pupils appeared in an effort to obtain a subsidy. Protestants are also received at the institution and religious instruction is not forced on them. McMaster may make such use of the information as he wishes. Deaf mustes who were and are members of the community are Messrs. Young, Greek and Foley. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
