James Scott Hutton, first principal of the Halifax School for the Deaf

James Scott Hutton was the first principal of the Halifax School for the Deaf, and remained with the school for 34 years until his death in 1891.[1] The Halifax School for the Deaf was the first school of the deaf in Atlantic Canada (1856). Along with teaching sign language, Hutton followed the lead of fellow Nova Scotian and advocate for the deaf Alexander Graham Bell by integrating lip-reading into the curriculum. From 1878 to 1882 he served as principal of a similar institution in Belfast (Northern Ireland).[2]
