Abstract

Man, in his powerful and expanding world of today, has broadened many untroddened and narrow paths. The paths of today are wider, scenic, and full of life. But these great, new paths were not built over night. They were built over thousands and thousands of years, and yet, the paths are not wide enough. The paths of the deaf man are filled with stumbling blocks. The fact that the deaf man cannot hear entails many problems, one of which, is the inability to speak. The deaf man cannot hear the spoken word and therefore, he cannot communicate
