This is a photo of four pupils, two girls and two boys, and their teacher Abram Wiebe in a classroom. Deaf and dumb pupils are taught to form sounds. Abram Wiebe is resting his fingers on the pupil's larynx and chin and often guides the tongue. It usually took several months of instruction to teach these children the ABC in the proper tonal pitch because they could not hear what they were saying.
