Centennial records of the women of Wisconsin . eredin full development — alas, too often, like the common blessingsof air and sky, they fall unnoticed on ungrateful hearts. Wecannot sufficiently admire those whose gratitude for the beauti-ful gifts of heaven has led them to a consecration to the work ofopening deaf ears, and teaching the dumb the divine art ofspeech. We honor Miss Emily Eddy, a highly educated and benevo-lent hearted lady, who has given her life, for nearly twenty yearspast to the children and youth upon whom nature has placed theban of silence, gathered in the Wisconsin Institution. By a wonderful tact and skill which her experience has de-veloped, she has invented a system of articulation and lip read-ing, which greatly facilitates the process of placing these unfort-unate youth in communication with the outer world. It is oftensaid by those who would depreciate female capacities, that thenames of women are never found on the roll of inventors. It istrue that her limited arena has made this statement partially.
