The caption reads "A special room is provided at the institute with equipment to help patrially deaf children. Microphones and earphones are used in amplifying the voices of teachers and children during lessons. Here Leigh Harrison (left) and Ian Bruce listen attentively to teacher Miss I. Arnott."
