Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Washington State School for the Blind The casual visitor to the Washington State School for the Blind carries away with him a vivid picture - a picture of six solid brick buildings set closely together, overlooking the beautiful Columbia River valley, with its orchards, dairies and city lights; of smiling boys and girls, strolling arm-in-arm on the walks that parallels the front of the buildings, vying with one another on spacious lawns, play ing football, wrestling, flying kites or roller skating; of scholastic. Activity with children rushing about with slates in their hands and Braille books under their arms; and over all, the strains of various musical instruments - piano, violin, cello, pipe organ, clarinet - blended in sweet discord. The visitor, if he be of an inquiring mind, may ask what lies behind the happy, bustling life of this institution that releases almost daily souls imprisoned by physical darkness and gives to them wings of freedom to soar to personal triumphs. What is its history? And should he care to delve into records of the school to learn this, he will find his efforts of little avail, for nothing heretofore has ever been written on the history of the education of the blind in the State of Washington, except a few scattered and unrelated facts. That this story may be reconstructed to its fullest detail is the purpose of this study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Prospectus: Tennessee School for the Blind This introduction to the History and Prospectus of the Tennessee School for the Blind may contain little that is not found in the body of the work, and the most that its author hopes for it is that it may serve to direct attention to the wise observations of Professor Armstrong and to the data which he presents. If it should help to secure for Professor Armstrong's able presentation of a most interesting subject the attention and sympathy of thoughtful people, the motive that inspired it will have been fully satisfied. Its records show how, from a small beginning, the Tennessee School for the Blind has grown to vast proportions. Its history illustrates what such a beginning, inaugurated by one who was bereft of sight but who inspired his cause, may become in time, by intelligent, unselfish, and continuous attention, and by the generous support of public-spirited citizens and of the law makers of a great State as well. Much more might have been done with more ample means at the disposal of the Trustees and the Superintendents, but all this can be made good by more generous aid from the State Legislature in the future. The intelligent citizens of Tennessee, no less than the law-makers of the State, will read with profit and satisfaction the contents of this volume, and, having read it with the care and attention it deserves, they will give to an institution which has done so much in the past for a sadly af icted class of our fellow beings the means with which to accomplish even greater results in the future. Let this volume, prepared with so much care, displaying so much thought and study, and presenting an array of facts and figures of such engaging interest as to make the reader forget almost that this is not a work of fiction, find its way silently into every heart and home in Tennessee. And let it be remem bered that Professor Armstrong, Superintendent of the School for the Blind, who is himself deprived of the blessing of sight.

Book excerpt: "Unlimited Visibility: A History of the Washington State School for the Blind" is much more than a dry listing of names and dates. We try, through archived materials and remembrances of alumni, teachers and friends, to put a human face to the issue of preparing the blind and visually impaired for life in the "real world." Along the way we meet inspiring folks such as Robert Irwin, the first graduate of what was then the "School for Defective Youth," who worked his way through college hawking cigars and went on to become a national and world leader in the education of the blind. Or Christy Gilbrough, a deaf and blind student who hasn't let her limitations keep her from holding down a job and pursuing learning even at the age of 66. And then there's the fellow who stranded a donkey on the roof of a school building in retaliation for being called a jackass by the superintendent.We believe this book to be relevant to more than the estimated 3 million blind and visually impaired people in the U.S. The hard lessons learned in providing proper preparation for the blind can be used to enrich the lives of all our country's students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Education of the Blind No up-to-date treatise on the important and interesting subject of "The History of the Education of the Blind" being in existence in this country, and the lack of such a text-book specially designed for the teachers in our blind schools being grievously felt, I have, in response to repeated requests, taken in hand the compilation of such a book from all sources at my command, adding at the same time sundry notes and comments of my own, which the experience of a quarter of a century in blind work has led me to think may be of service to those who desire to approach and carry on their work as teachers of the blind as well equipped with information specially suited to their requirements as circumstances will permit. It is but due to the juvenile blind in our schools that the men and women to whom their education is entrusted should not only be acquainted with the mechanical means of teaching through the tactile sense, but that they should also be so steeped in blind lore that it becomes second nature to them to think of and see things from the blind person's point of view. Paradoxical as the latter phrase may appear, it is none the less an absolute fact. It is necessary for a teacher to realise and to thoroughly appreciate the difficulties which his pupil has to encounter, before he can satisfactorily remove them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the State School for the Blind, Vancouver: For the Term Beginning October 1, 1916, and Ending September 30, 1918 History of the School. The Legislature of 1886 established a School for Defective Youth including the deaf, blind and feeble-minded. In 1906 the 26 blind pupils were separated from the deaf. (the feeble-minded having been removed several years previously) and the two schools were jointly ad ministered though really independent. Legal separation was effected in 1913 with W. B. Hall as first superintendent, which position he held until his death two years later. The summer school, which opened in June, 1915, has been attended by thirty different adults and has made possible the equip ment of several blind persons for independent support. The total enroll ment in the regular school reached 62 during the biennium. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
