 IV. Read the text carefully and then choose the correct answers: 
 In 1816, there were no schools for the deaf in this country. Several people attempted to start schools, but all the schools closed. There were too many problems. The first people who succeeded were Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. They opened their school in 1817, and the school did not close. It was named the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons. It was the only school for deaf children in America! 
 Clerc and Gallaudet did not know what would happen after they opened their school. They worked very hard. The school grew, more and more students enrolled. These new students were from all over the country. People thought the school would be big enough for all of the deaf children in America. The school is still open today, but the name was changed. Today it is called The American School for the Deaf. It is in West Hartford, Connecticut.
