Description
Excerpt from Manual of Lipreading
Life is mostly froth and bubble Two things stand like stone: Kindness in another''s trouble, Courage in your own - lindsay gordon.
IN writing about Lipreading, these fine lines of Lindsay Gordon''s come quickly to mind. They put the whole case in the proverbial nut shell.'' They'' picture the af?icted one making every effort to keep himself - ''a live soul - ih the world; and they illus trate the helping-hand stretched out to meet and cheer.
No one will deny that deafness is a great af?iction. It absolutely shuts one off from all the joyous sounds of nature, home, and society. It makes those hard of hearing very sensitive - too self-conscious. They feel they are a nuisance; they imagine people are making remarks about them they think they are not wanted in short, they develop a morbid tendency, and with draw into seclusion.
This is all a misunderstanding. The great majority of people in the world are right-minded; and, couse quently, have sympathy for those who are in trouble, and, if only allowed, are glad to help them.
