Our Forgotten Children: Hard of Hearing Pupils in the Schools Revised Third Edition Published by SHHH. "This is an exciting time for those of us who serve children with hearing loss in the schools." - Julia M. Davis, Ph.D., Editor. SHHH Policy Statement on Educating Hard of Hearing Students SHHH views the sense of hearing as a human birthright, one that should be valued and exploited as fully as possible regardless of what system a person employs as a primary communication mode. By definition, hard of hearing children possess usable residual hearing and, with appropriate auditory management, are capable of employing audition as their primary channel for perceiving and developing an auditory-based language system. SHHH Position Statement on the Au.D. - The Doctor of Audiology Degree SHHH, while endorsing the concept of an Au.D., is reserving its final judgment until it can be empirically determined that a doctoral-level audiology profession ensures superior rehabilitative services to consumers than is now offered by M.A. audiologists. SHHH Policy Statement on Hearing Screening Private and parochial schools, as well as public schools, should be included in a nationally mandated hearing screening program.

HEARING HEALTH "Loss of vision means losing contact with things, but loss of hearing means losing contact with people." Helen Keller SHHH Position on Hearing Screening in Schools Private and parochial schools, as well as public schools, should be included in a nationally mandated hearing screening program. The very fact that such a national program is implemented can, in itself, send a message to all segments of our society regarding the crucial importance of hearing to learning. It will help remove hearing loss from society's "back-burner" and truly make it an "issue of national concern." SHHH Position on Newborn Infant Hearing Screening SHHH supports the passage of legislation to mandate a Universal Newborn Hearing Screening program. Furthermore, we recommend that such legislation directly or indirectly address the necessity for a linked non-medical habilitation component. Pennsylvania's Newborn Hearing Screening Program Technological advances in recent years have made it possible to detect hearing impairment at birth. Studies estimate that approximately 3 of every 1,000 infants are born with impaired hearing, making it the most prevalent of all birth defects. If undetected by parents or caregivers, hearing impairment can adversely affect development as the child struggles to communicate, build vocabulary and develop language skills. Hearing Assessment [ASHA] The purpose of hearing assessment is to find out what type and how much hearing loss is present. Individuals throughout their lives have their hearing assessed on the basis of self-referral, family/caregiver referral, failure of an audiologic screening, follow-up to previous audiologic assessment, case history for risk indicators, or referral from other professionals. The purpose of audiological assessment is to quantify and qualify hearing in terms of the degree of hearing loss, the type of hearing loss and the configuration of the hearing loss. With regard to degree of hearing loss, the audiologist is looking for quantitative information.

Any Lower Moreland Township resident who agrees with the position of the Lower Moreland Township Board of School Directors is invited to also express their views to either Senator Salvatore or Representative Cornell. March 16, 1999 The Honorable Frank A. Salvatore The Honorable Roy W. Cornell Fifth District-Montgomery County 152nd District-Montgomery County 3330 Grant Avenue 19 Byberry Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19106 Philadelphia, PA 19106 Dear Senator Salvatore: Dear Mr. Cornell: One of the Governor’s budget proposals for 1999–2000 calls for a pilot program of choice and vouchers dubbed “Educational Opportunity Grants” (EOGs). According to information published by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the program would permit eligible parents to choose their child’s school, regardless of their residence, from among public, private, and parochial schools. Moreover, while billed as a “pilot program” in six of the most populous counties and nine of the remaining most heavily populated cities and townships, “families can participate even if they live outside the pilot communities.” We would anticipate that enabling legislation for these Educational Opportunity Grants will be high on the agenda this spring. While the Department has been freely promoting the program and its putative benefits in empowering families, little if anything has been released regarding the impact this program will have on Pennsylvania’s public schools and their students. It is crucial that we all—you, as a legislator, and we as school directors—thoroughly understand the Governor’s Educational Opportunity Grant proposal. Therefore, we urge that you study the potential impact of this program on our public schools. EOG legislation, if enacted, will greatly impact our public schools and their students. For this reason, we urge you to ask questions about this proposal, and seek appropriate answers. We implore you not to support choice/voucher/EOG legislation until satisfactory answers to these questions have been received.

Craver resigned as librarian March 31, 1917, to become Director of the United Engineering Societies Library in New York. "The Board of Trustees decided as a policy that whenever practicable it would endeavor to fill any executive positions which might become vacant from within the Institute's and Library's large force." (Annual Report, 1917, page 1) In accordance with this policy, Mr. Craver's position, the title of which was changed from Librarian to Director, was filled by the appointment of Dr. John Hopkins Leete, a graduate of Colgate and Harvard and then Dean of the School of Applied Science of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Dr. Leete brought Martha V. Wirth, his secretary at Tech, with him as his secretary, but she soon became the Library's Executive Secretary. Her stated duties included the preparation of the budget, supervision of purchases and expenditures, and office management, but in practice they extended into almost every phase of management. Miss Wirth was destined to spend thirty-nine years in the Library's service, much of that time performing many of the duties of an assistant director, although she never carried that title.

The communities are closely joined together, so the commuting time to work for most residents is between five and ten minutes. Interstate 80 and Route 60 pass directly through the Valley while Interstate 79, just to the East, intersects Interstate 80 with access to both the Erie and Pittsburgh markets. State Route 60 leads south from the Valley to the Pennsylvania Tumpike and to the Pittsburgh International Airport which is just 54 minutes away. To the west, Interstate 80 connects with the Ohio Turnpike. The Youngstown Municipal Airport is just 20 minutes away. Historically this area has been a major contributor to America's iron and steel industry. Although still active in steel production and heavy industry, the Shenango Valley has diversified its economic base to include light industry, high tech manufacturing, health services and tourism. Some of the largest employers are the primary metal, electrical equipment, health services and local transportation industries. Fabricators of metal products and non-electrical machinery manufacturers are also important. Three of the four manufacturers of steel pipe in the United States are located in the Shenango Valley. The Valley has two hospitals, Sharon Regional Health System and Horizon Hospital System. Sharon Regional Health System is a teaching facility with an affiliated diploma school of nursing. Both attract top-quality physicians and contribute to the excellent medical care available in the area. Nine other hospitals are within a 1/2 hour of the Valley.

70. History Of The Archdiocese Philadelphia became the metropolitan see for the state of pennsylvania with Wood inthe United States exceeded Ryan in the establishment of parochial schools. http://www.archdiocese-phl.org/main/archhist.htm

A Brief History of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia William Penn's "holy experiment" of religious toleration (1682) in his colony of Pennsylvania was a refuge for persecuted Catholics as well as other religions. There were Catholics in the Philadelphia area from the beginning of its colonization. The Mass was celebrated publicly as early as 1707. Old Saint Joseph’s Church, the first Catholic church in Philadelphia was built in 1733. The Catholic population increased from forty people at that time to about eight thousand by 1790. On April 8, 1808, Michael Egan, O.F.M. (d. 1814), was appointed the bishop of the new diocese of Philadelphia, which at that time included the entire states of Pennsylvania and Delaware, and the western and southern parts of New Jersey. At this time, the diocese included about 30,000Catholics attended by eleven priests. Old Saint Mary’s Church was selected as the cathedral. Trustee problems at Old Saint Mary’s persisted during Egan’s entire tenure as bishop. After Egan’s death in 1814, it was five years before Henry Conwell (1748-1842), Vicar General of Armagh, Ireland, was appointed the Bishop of Philadelphia. In an attempt to compromise, Bishop Conwell signed a pact with the trustees giving them the right to veto his appointment of their pastors. This pact was rejected by Pope Leo XII in 1827. Francis Patrick Kenrick (1747-1863) was eventually appointed in 1830 the coadjutor to Bishop Conwell with the right of succession. Kenrick was consecrated on June 6, 1830. The trustee problem at Old Saint Mary’s continued until Kenrick closed the church and the cemetery on April 16, 1831, after which the trustees capitulated to episcopal authority.

THE VOICE OF YOUR SHEPHERD June 2002 Volume 9, Issue 12 In This Issue: Saint John Neumann Consider Catholic Schools Questions to the Cardinal Saint John Neumann I recently had the great pleasure of presiding at a special Mass joyfully celebrating the 25 th anniversary of the Canonization of Saint John Neumann, bishop of Philadelphia from 1852 until his death in 1860 at the age of 48. A quarter century has passed since the man affectionately known as the "Little Bishop" because of his short stature became the third American saint . The fourth American saint is Philadelphia native Saint Katharine Drexel , canonized in 2001. We are so blessed in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to be watched over by two saints! From the time he arrived in Philadelphia in 1852, Bishop Neumann devoted himself to the area's poor and immigrants. He was a simple man in dress and in habit, who gave most of his belongings to the poor. Neumann spoke six languages at the time he came to Philadelphia and even taught himself Gaelic to better serve the Irish immigrants. He was a humble man who never desired a position of authority and in fact pleaded not to be made a bishop. Despite his lack of faith in his own abilities, he proved to be far-sighted administrator. Knowing that the newly arriving Catholic immigrants needed places to worship, Bishop Neumann started or completed more than 80 churches during his eight year tenure.

Pennsylvania Voters Strongly Support School Choice Respondents agree students should meet standards before promotion, also support choice including parochial schools Republican and Democratic voters in southwest Pennsylvania strongly support school choice, as well as Governor Tom Ridge's efforts to implement statewide academic standards that students must meet before advancing from one grade to the next. According to a new poll conducted by the Lincoln Institute of Public Policy Research, support for school choice was strongest among younger voters. Eighty percent of respondents in the 18-34 age group favored a choice plan that would allow parents to send their children to public, private, or parochial schools. "What was amazing was the support for school choice including parochial schools," said Lincoln Institute chairman Lowman S. Henry. "In most surveys, support for school choice generally drops when you include parochial schools, but here the numbers actually went up." The poll was conducted among registered voters in an 11-county area in southwestern Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh and its surroundings. The area is skewed demographically towards an older age group because of out-migration by young people.

A suffragan see of Philadelphia, U.S.A., established on 3 March, 1868, comprises the Counties of Lackawanna, Luzerne, Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne, Tioga, Sullivan, Wyoming, Lycoming, Pike, and Monree, all in the north-east part of Pennsylvania; area, 8,487 sq. miles. Scranton, the episcopal see, is in the heart of the anthracite region and is a progressive city of 130,000 inhabitants (1910). Other large cities are Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport, Hazelton, Carbondale, and Pittston. The pioneer Catholic settlers were principally of Irish and German descent, but in recent years the coal-mining industry has attracted numerous European labourers, mostly of the Slav and Italian races, until these now number almost one-half of the Catholic population. Early History Although many of the pioneer settlers were Catholic immigrants, yet the first official visit of a priest to this territory of which there is any authentic record was in 1787. In that year Rev. James Pellentz travelled up the Susquehanna River as far as Elmira, ministering to the Catholics scattered through this region. He returned to Baltimore, whence he had come, and reported conditions to his superiors. A few years after the visit of Father Pellentz the famous French settlement of Asylum or "Azilum" was founded (1793-94). The site chosen was on the banks of the Susquehanna River, opposite the present village of Standing-Stone, Bradford County. It seems to have been planned as a retreat for the nobility, who were forced to flee from the terrors of the

Bibliography The Civil War YANKEE CANARDS Education One of the oft-heard put-downs of the Old South was its lack of education, by which is usually meant free public education, which was well-established in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states by 1860, but had barely dented the South. Thus, we believe that the South was uneducated. Yet literacy among white Southerners before the war was more than 80 percent, slightly below that of Northerners but better than Britain or any European country except Sweden and Denmark. Certainly the Northern conquest didn't help matters for Southern education. Fifteen years after the war ended, white literacy showed no noticeable gain and 70 percent of Southern blacks still could not read. Now look at the big picture. The free school movement had roots in Massachusetts. The Calvinist doctrines of the Congregational church required learned ministers and emphasized the necessity of each individual's reading the Bible. Consequently, compulsory education had begun to be mandated there as far back as 1642.

St. John Nepomucene Neumann HIS FASCINATING LIFE STORY The Bishop of Philadelphia lay crumpled in the snow a few blocks from his new cathedral on Logan Square. By the time a priest reached him with the holy oils, Bishop Neumann was dead. That was January 5, 1860. At his own request Bishop Neumann was buried in a basement crypt in Saint Peter's Church where he would be with his Redemptorist confreres. PILGRIMAGES TO BISHOP'S TOMB Now pilgrims came from all over the world. From his native Bohemia, from Germany and Holland they came to claim allegiance to one of their own. Pope John Paul II made it a point to visit the Shrine when he came to Philadelphia to attend the Eucharistic Congress. Yes, the City of Brotherly Love was bursting with joy. The diocesan seminarians from St. Charles, Overbrook, have made annual pilgrimages to his tomb. The various Irish Societies of Philadelphia have made formal pilgrimages to the tomb of this humble man of God who, as bishop, did so much for their immigrant forebears in the 1850's this "foreigner" who went to the trouble of studying enough Irish to be able to hear the confessions of those who "had no English," up in the coal regions of nineteenth century Pennsylvania. Those of Italian extraction remember Bishop Neumann as the founder of the first national parish for Italians in the United States. At a time when there was no priest to speak their language, no one to care for them, Bishop Neumann, who had studied Italian as a seminarian in Bohemia, gathered them together in his private chapel and preached to them in their mother tongue. In 1855 he Purchased a Methodist Church in South Philadelphia, dedicated it to St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, and gave them one of his seminary professors, Father John Tornatore, C.M., to be their pastor.

In the past, OFL has offered articles for Orthodox parents interested in making the most of their children's experience in the public school system, and for parents interested in home schooling. Many Orthodox parents, however, turn to non-Orthodox parochial schools for their children's academic education. Below, Popadia Donna Freude offers both her professional and personal advice on evaluating a parochial school and handling the potential conflicts between Orthodox beliefs and the religious beliefs taught by the school. - NTK Why Choose a Parochial School? by Donna M. Freude, M.A.Ed. From the time of birth, we parents make thousands of decisions concerning our children. Should we use disposable diapers or cloth diapers? Bottle feed or breast feed? What pediatrician should we select? And of course, where will we send our child to school? The plethora of choices continue to develop as your child grows. The decision to send your child - a baptized Orthodox Christian - to a non-Orthodox parochial school may be made for as many reasons as there are individual children. What is a parochial school?
