EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of St. John's Institution for Deaf and Dumb Children, situated in the picturesque village of Boston Spa, West Yorkshire. Established in Sheffield in 1870 by Father De Haerne, a Belgian priest, the Institution was founded with the desire to provide a caring and nurturing environment for deaf and dumb children, offering them the opportunity to receive an education and develop essential life skills. The Institution, which functioned as both a school and an orphanage, moved to its current location in Boston Spa in 1875. The children, many of whom were orphans or in need of social care, were provided with a range of services designed to meet their unique needs. These services included not only education and care, but also welfare and social support, ensuring that the children received a well-rounded upbringing. The Institution's Roman Catholic ethos is evident in the image, with the cross prominently displayed on the building's facade. The children, dressed in their uniforms, can be seen engaged in various activities, both indoors and outdoors, reflecting the Institution's commitment to providing a comprehensive and holistic approach to their care. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the important role that institutions like St. John's played in providing vital services and care for deaf and dumb children, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives despite the challenges they faced.
