Product Information

Excerpt from Histories of American Schools for the Deaf, 1817-1893, Vol. 3 of 3 The Whipple Home School was founded by Jonathan and Zerah Whipple about twenty years ago. Jonathan Whipple had a deaf son, Ech, who is still living, at the age of sixty-eight years. Jonathan observed that Ech watched his mouth very closely while he was talking, and that if Ech did this he understood him. He also found that by having Ech watch his mouth while he prounced different words the boy would speak distinctly, when otherwise he failed. Jonathan Whipple was a man of indomitable will and perseverance and he determined to teach his son to speak and read the lips well. This he succeeded in doing, so that w there is certainly better living example of the value of this method of teaching the deaf than Ech Whipple. He reads the lips perfectly, speaks sorously and distinctly, and is a man of strict integrity and broad cultivation. Jonathan Whipple at all times advocated this method of teaching the deaf, but real plans for a school materialized until his grandson, Zerah Whipple, was about twenty years old. Zerah was a thoughtful young man and a good student. He became greatly interested in his grandfather's methods and determined to devote his life to the instruction of the deaf by the oral method. This he did conscientiously and well. He invented the Whipple's Natural Alphabet, which is still of great assistance to the teachers in their work. The School was quite extensively advertised, and it grew in numbers until a dozen or so pupils from all parts of the United States, and from little children to grown men and women, were under his instruction. In a few years Zerah purchased from the heirs of one of Mystic's deceased wealthy citizens his former summer residence and moved his little School there. This was an admirable situation for the School, and its location has t since been changed. The house is little over a mile from the village of Mystic, healthfully built and situated on a high hill, commanding a beautiful view of the village, river, and sound. One can judge of the healthfulness of the location of the School from the remarks of one of the teachers.
