About Lillie Eginton Warren

  • Lillie Eginton Warren (January 25, 1859 – 1926) was an American educator and an author of work upon defective speech.
  • She was the inventor of the Warren Method of Expression Reading and Numerical Cipher.
  • This method was a patented series of pictures of the expressions of the facial muscles produced by articulate speech by which it was possible for a deaf person to understand conversation by the eyes alone.
  • Until the 1890s, deaf education was limited to children, but Warren and her assistant, Edward Nichie, expanded the scope of work to adults.Warren was principal of the Warren School of Articulation and Expression-Reading, in New York City, an institution founded by her and which had branches in Boston, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Chicago.
  • As a teacher of expression-reading to persons growing deaf, Warren achieved some remarkable results.
  • She devoted her life to the work, first taking it up in 1879.
  • She was the inventor of a method of teaching hard-of-hearing adults to enjoy conversation, a system that was styled expression-reading and which was entirely different from any other method yet devised, a patent (#US726484A) being awarded Warren for her discovery by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 1903.
