This is a photo of Henry Peters, teacher, instructing a class of one boy and five girls. He is standing at a table holding a book and pointer. The pupils are sitting at three desks. Behind them are a blackboard, a large map and pictures. Pupils were trained lip-readers and had to watch the teacher's lips very closely. In their work the school followed the program laid down for the seven years of public school. This work was covered by these handicapped pupils in nine years.
