Excerpt from Proceedings of the International Conference on the Education of the Deaf: Held in the Training College Buildings, Edinburgh, on 29th, 30th, and 31st July and 1st and 2nd August 1907 In giving to the world this Report of the Proceedings of the First International Conference of Teachers of the Deaf ever held in Great Britain, the Conference Committee desires first of all to thank all those ladies and gentlemen who, by their presence, their sympathy, and their support, combined to render this meeting the most memorable of the many Conferences which have been held under the auspices of the N. A. T. D. The Committee cannot but think that, from every point of view, the Conference was a success. From beginning to end of the week not one discordant note was struck. It was apparent that those who attended were animated with but one desire; to compare experiences, to gain fresh ideas, to stimulate and encourage one another in the arduous calling to which they have devoted their lives. The papers read at the various meetings, describing as they do the actual condition of Deaf Mute Education in the respective countries of the writers, will be found to contain a mass of interesting information that should well repay the earnest study of all teachers and students of deaf mute education. Valuable, however, as these contributions to the literature of the subject are, the Conference Committee is of opinion that the full benefit of such a meeting could be gained only by those who actually attended it. The opportunities afforded for social intercourse, for exchange of ideas at first hand, for the formation of friendships between members of the same profession, working as they must, isolated, at great distances from each other, give to such a gathering an influence and a value which is incalculable, and the Committee owes a deep debt of gratitude to all those who helped them to this end.
