Excerpt from Overcoming Obstacles: A Description of the Services Rendered by the Montana School for the Deaf and Blind at Great Falls; January 15, 1941 The regular academic work is carried on by especially trained teachers who are familiar with the physiology of speech, psychology of deafness and special methods and text books used in instructing the deaf. Not all the students enrolled are totally deaf, as the hard of hearing child who cannot progress in public schools because of deficient hearing, can be given special training at the State School. For the hard of hearing, electrical amplification instruments are used to aid in hearing and for the development of speech. A 6-a Audiometer is used for measuring residual hearing of deaf and hard of hearing pupils. A large proportion of the graduates of the school find suitable jobs as printers, mechanics, laborers or employees in, schools for the deaf. At present 5 graduates of the school are attending Gallaudet College, the only school for the higher education of the deaf, located in Washington, D. C. A number are also being trained under the direction of the State Department of Vocational Rehabilitation.
