Scope and Contents

He notices with pleasure the continuing mention in the Journal of correspondence about education for deaf mutes. He sends any number of the paper containing such mention to Father Dehaeine, chaplain of the Deaf and Dumb Institute, Brussels, Belgium, who is also a member of the Legislative Bosy of Belgium. In Belgium 4 years ago, Dehasine asked De Bruycker's father if such an institution could be established in the United States. At the time, De Bruycker was not well informed as to the plans, and was very busy; as a result, he neglected the opportunity and now wishes to make up for his neglect. He will be happy to lend his help. He sends the Journal to his father, Mr. Joseph DeBruycker, Brussels, Belgium, in care of Dehaeine. He wishes McMaster the blessings of the Holy Season. P.S. He has a young man in his mission who was educated at one of the American institutes, the one at Hartford. Although of a devout Catholic family, the boy cannot be brought back into Catholicity from the effects of his Protestant education. In Belgium, the Sisters of Charity take care of deaf mutes and the insane. The Brothers of St. Jean de Dieu take care of the male portion in separate establishments. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
