  25. ORALISM “Oral speech is the sole power that can rekindle the light God breathed into man when giving him a soul in a corporeal body, he gave him also a means of understanding, of conceiving, and of expressing himself…while on one hand, mimic signs are not sufficient to express the fullness of thought, on the other they enhance and glorify fantasy and all the faculties of the sense of imagination…the fantastic language of signs exalts the senses and foments the passions, whereas speech elevates the mind much more naturally, with cal, prudence, and truth.” Guilio Tarro, President, International Congress SIGN LANGUAGE “The Chinese women bind their babies’ feet to make them small; the Flathead Indians bind their babies’ heads to make them flat. And the people who prevent the sign language being used in the education of the deaf…are denying the Deaf their free mental growth through natural expressions of their ideas and are in the same class of criminals.” J.
