A series of studies of the acquisition of various linguistic abilities by children congenitally deaf were begun two and a half years ago for the purpose of discovering certain facts which might be applied to the improvement of methods of teaching and learning of normal children. In this paper will be described the results of one of the preliminary studies and some of the plans for further investigations now under way or contemplated.
