Until we know more about this 'Alfred Large' author, we can no longer academically rely on The Encyclopaedia Britannica: a dictionary of arts, sciences, and general literature, Volume 7 for showing that St. Augustine having 'declaring that congenitally deaf are barred from Christianity'^[1]. Alfred Large may be a 'deaf and dumb teacher' for an asylum on Old Kent Road.^[2] At the moment, we're leaving this entry in for historical purpose. We'll be needing another reliable source on this: -- Egberts (talk) 01:39, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New page for US-specific[edit]

Time to break out the 'Modern Deaf in USA' into a separate page, perhaps a title like

'United States history in the Deaf society
- This seems to be the Wiki trend
'Deaf history in the United States' or
- I personally like this.
'Deaf history of the United States'
