Local people acquainted with Mr. Hugh Miller, head of the state department for the deaf, will be interested in the following news item appearing in the Raleigh News and Observer last week:
Services rendered by the several mutes in High Point furniture factories have been satisfactory, stated Hugh G. Miller, chief of the Bureau of the Deaf, in the Department of Labor and Printing upon his return yesterday from Furniture City, where he conferred with a number of manufacturers with regard to the working of the deaf.
Mr. Miller stated that he was successful in finding a number of jobs for mutes who have petitioned him to procure jobs for them. Furniture men are very well pleased with the results they have obtained from the several mutes in their employ, and they have no fear that they will not get efficient work from the mutes, said Mr. Miller.
Since the instituting of the deaf employment service in the Department of Labor and Printing at the start of the Grist administration, the results obtained, according to Mr. Miller, have been remarkable.
In speaking of Mr. Miller, who is a mute, Commissioner Grist described him as being one of the hardest workingmen in the employ of the state.
