Biographical History
A pioneer in education of the deaf and a strong advocate for acoustic and auricular training, John Dutton Wright (1866-1952), founded the Wright Oral School for the Deaf in New York City, developed a correspondence curriculum for parents of deaf children, and wrote several books including, What the Mother of a Deaf Child Should Know and Speech Teaching to the Deaf, a Practical Handbook. Born in Fredonia, New York, Wright established his New York school in 1892, moving to Santa Barbara, California in 1919, where he developed the Wright Correspondence (which later became the John Tracy Clinic Correspondence Course). In 1920, Wright began a series of travels around the world with his wife and two children. During these travels, Wright visited schools for the deaf and helped influence the creation of Japan's first oral school for the deaf. Wright authored several articles describing his travels to these foreign schools, publishing most frequently in the Volta Review. Wright remained active in civic affairs throughout his life, serving in many positions for commissions and non-profit organizations. These positions included serving as president of the California County Planning Commissioners Association and director of the Santa Barbara Girls' School.
