    UPON THE EDUCATION OF DEAF MUTES. The American Asylum, for the Education and Instruction of Deaf Mutes, at Hartford, is the oldest establishment of the kind in the United States, and the only one in 'New England. It has been of incalculable benefit to the deaf mutes of all the country. It enjoys, and it deserves public confi- dence and esteem. It enjoys moreover the monop- oly of educating the public beneficiaries of all the K^ew England States; a monopoly of which it seems to be very tenacious. Its Annual Reports are widely circulated; and are considered as valuable and reliable. They are read and regarded as entirely sound by most persons interested in the education of deaf mutes. The Institution is strictly conservative. Its Directors are men of high character, pure motives, and eminent gravity. Its system of instruction, adopted fifty years ago, is still adhered to, with few changes; and all proposals to modify it are stoutly resisted.
