Library Journal TRIUMPH OVER DEAFNESS. BIS 1948 20min * sd $47.50, rent $2.50 371.91 c-tr-ad In the past children who were born deaf were doomed also to be dumb, for there was no way to teach them sounds or to use their vocal chords. Now there are special schools where children may go when they are as young as two years old and many stay until they are twenty. The untiring patience and painstaking devotion of the teachers and the encouragingly eager application of the children combine to achieve magnificent results, for when the young people leave school their deficiencies are largely overcome. They lip read without effort and speak fluently, distinguished from other people only by an unusually emphatic diction, and can take many jobs without handicap. This film is a factual record, without professional actors and using school case studies WASTAGE OF HUMAN RESOURCES.
