EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating back to circa 1905, showcases a unique moment in the history of the Order of Good Templars, a prominent fraternal organization known for its social welfare and charitable work. The image features a group of Scottish dancers from Glasgows Langside School for the Deaf, accompanied by the deaf finger alphabet. The card was issued following a significant dispute between a Glasgow branch of the Independent Order of Good Templars and its Grand Lodge. The branch had proposed establishing a Children's Home and Accommodation for the Deaf and Dumb, which was met with opposition from the Grand Lodge. In response, the Glasgow branch produced this card as a symbol of their commitment to social welfare and care for the deaf community. The dancers, dressed in traditional Scottish attire, gracefully perform a dance, their expressions full of joy and enthusiasm. The inclusion of the deaf finger alphabet serves as a testament to the organizations dedication to the deaf community and their efforts to ensure effective communication. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting the organizations progressive approach towards social welfare and care for the deaf community during a time when such initiatives were not yet commonplace. The image serves as a reminder of the Order of Good Templars enduring legacy and their commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
