Many people represented supported the “pure oral method”
Resolutions passed:
Speech was superior to signing, therefore in order to “restore deaf mutes” to society the oral method should be preferred
Signing and speaking was a hindrance to learning speech, lip reading and the grasping of ideas, therefore teachers should use the pure oral method
