This school was instituted by Mr William COMER, and is situated in Wood street. It is designed to give gratuitous instruction to the mute children of poor parents: but a due renumeration is required for those whose parents are qualified to pay.
The pupils attend during the same hours that are usually allotted to seminaries where children are taught who are blessed with the power of speech, and the rest of the time they spend with their parents. Visitors are allowed to see the institution every Tuesday forenoon, from ten to twelve o'clock, and a public examination is held once a quarter.
A commodious house adjoining the school is appropriated to the board and lodging of those pupils whose parents are in repectable circumstances, but who reside at a distance
