Summary
Hearing. Between the two World Wars, while experimenting with ways to maximize use of residual hearing, he became the leading figure in Hungarian deaf education through becoming head of the national teacher training college. Post-World War II, he changed the national educational system to follow the centralized Soviet Russian model, maintaining a very paternalistic approach to Hungarian deaf education.
