PERKINS  INSTITUTION 

HISTORY 

IN  1826  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher  returned  to  Boston  from  Paris  resolved  to  provide  for 
the  blind  of  Massachusetts  the  same  care  afforded  them  in  France.  Enlisting 
the  aid  of  friends,  a  committee  was  formed  and  upon  petition  to  the  Legislature 
an  Act  of  Incorporation  was  granted  on  March  2,  1829.  establishing  "The  New  England 
Asylum  for  the  Blind,"  the  first  school  in  America  for  those  without  sight.  In  1831 
Dr.  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  just  returned  from  participation  in  the  Greek  wars,  was 
elected  the  first  director,  and  in  August,  1832,  the  first  classes  were  held  in  the  house 
of  Dr.  Howe's  father  on   Pleasant   Street. 

During  the  early  years  Col.  Thomas  H.  Perkins  became  interested  in  the  little 
school  and  gave  for  its  use  his  large  house  on  Pearl  Street.  The  need  for  larger  quarters 
was  soon  apparent,  and  in  1839  the  great  hotel  in  South  Boston  was  purchased.  This 
purchase  was  made  possible  by  the  assent  of  Colonel  Perkins  to  the  sale  of  the  house 
that  he  had  given  to  the  School.  Because  of  this  magnanimous  attitude  of  Colonel 
Perkins  the  Trustees  renamed  the  school  "Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts 
Asylum  for  the  Blind."  This  name  was  changed  in  1877  to  the  present  name,  "Perkins 
Institution   and  Massachusetts    School   for   the   Blind." 

Dr.  Howe  directed  the  growing  work  of  Pericins  Institution  for  forty  years  and 
was  succeeded  in  1876  by  his  Greek  proteg^  and  son-in-law.  Michael  Anagnos.  Mr. 
Anagnos  created  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  for  publishing  embossed  books  and  for 
the  manufacture  of  appliances  for  education  of  the  blind.  In  1887  he  founded  the 
Kindergarten  in  Jamaica  Plain,  the  first  school  in  the  world  for  little  blind  children. 
After  thirty  years   of  leadership   Mr.   Anagnos   died   in   Rumania  in    1906. 

In  1907  the  directorship  of  Perkins  Institution  feU  to  Edward  E.  AUen,  head  of 
the  school  for  the  blind  in  Philadelphia,  where  he  had  just  rebuilt  the  school  plant 
on  a  garden  site  outside  of  the  city.  Coming  to  Boston,  Mr.  Allen  began  plans  for 
a  new  Perkins,  and  in  1912  the  Institution  and  in  1913  the  Kindergarten  were  housed 
in  the  beautiful  new  plant  at  Watertown.  These  buildings,  situated  on  an  old  estate 
of  thirty-four  acres  on  the  banks  of  the  Charles  River,  have  school  and  residence 
facilities  for  nearly  three  hundred  pupils.  Dr.  Allen  retired  in  1931.  His  last  ofBcial 
act  was  to  write  the  one  hundredth  annual  report.  Thus  for  a  century  Perkins  Institu- 
tion had  but  three  directors. 

PURPOSE 

Perkins  Institution  provides  for  the  visually  handicapped  youth  of  New  England 
full  educational  opportunity  from  Kindergarten  through  High  School.  The  content 
of  instruction  corresponds  with  that  offered  to  seeing  boys  and  girls  in  the  public 
schools.  The  methods  of  instruction  of  necessity  differ.  Principal  differences^  are 
that  embossed  books  take  the  place  of  ink  print,  and  studies  are  taught  objectively. 
In  the  adaptation  and  invention  of  means  of  instructing  the  blind.  Perkins  has  been 
a  pioneer  through  its  century  of  existence.  Much  attention  is  paid  to  physical  and 
manual  training  and  to  music.  Opportunity  is  provided  for  those  qualified  to  pursue 
higher  studies  or  take  advanced  work  in  music  and  vocational  fields. 

Boys  and  girls  without  sight  or  with  insufficient  sight  to  read  ink-print  are  ad- 
mitted as  pupils,  if  capable  of  education  and  in  good  health.  While  at  the  school  pupils 
reside  in  cottages  where  the  teachers  also  live,  and  through  this  association  they  acquire 
that  unconscious  tuition  which  is  such  an  important  part  of  the  program  of  socializa- 
tion. The  primary  aim  of  Perkins  Institution  is  to  qualify  its  visually  handicapped 
pupils  to  take  contributory  places  in  normal  life.  New  pupils  are  admitted  in  September 
and  February,  and  aU  pupils  must  return  to  their  homes  for  the  short  vacations  at 
Christmas  and  Easter  and  for  the  long  vacation  in  the  summer.

SYNOPSIS  OF  THE  PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  ANNUAL 
MEETING  OF  THE  CORPORATION 


Watertown,   Massachusetts 
November  1,  1948 

The  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Corporation,  duly  summoned,  was 
held  today  at  the  Institution,  and  was  called  to  order  by  the  Presi- 
dent, Dr.  Eeginald  Fitz,  at  3.00  P.  M. 

The  proceedings  of  the  last  meeting  were  read  and  approved. 

The  annual  reports  of  the  Trustees  and  the  Director  were  ac- 
cepted and  ordered  to  be  printed,  with  the  addition  of  other 
matters  of  general  interest  to  the  work. 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  was  presented,  accepted  and 
ordered  to  be  printed  together  with  the  certificate  of  the  Certified 
Public  Accountant. 

It  was  then 

VOTED :  That  acts  and  expenditures,  made  and  authorized  by 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  or  by  any  committee  appointed 
by  said  Board  of  Trustees,  during  the  last  corpor- 
ate year,  be  and  are  hereby  ratified  and  confirmed. 

It  was  further 

VOTED:  That  the  nomination  of  the  Finance  Committee  and 
the  appointment  by  the  Trustees,  of  Barrow,  Wade, 
Guthrie  &  Company,  Certified  Public  Accountants 
as  Auditors  of  the  Accounts  of  the  Institution  be 
and  are  hereby  ratified  and  confirmed. 

The  Corporation  then  proceeded  to  the  choice  of  officers  for 
the  ensuing  year,  and  the  following  persons  were  unanimously 
elected  by  ballot:  President,  Reginald  Fitz,  M.  D.;  Vice-Presi- 
dent, Ralph  Lowell;  Treasurer,  John  P.  Chase;  Secretary,  Gabriel 
Farrell;  Trustees,  David  Cheever,  Jr.;  Mrs.  Richard  E.  Danielson; 
Reginald  Fitz,  M.  D.;  Robert  H.  Hallowell;  Henry  W.  Holmes, 
LL.D.;  Warren  Motley;  Richard  Saltonstall,  and  Miss  Rosanna  D. 
Thorndike, 

The  following  persons  were  elected  members  of  the  Corpora- 
tion: Mrs.  David  Cheever,  Jr.;  Mrs.  Russell  Codman;  Lady  Emilie 
Coote;  William  Endicott,  2nd;  Mrs.  Robert  M.  Faxon;  Mrs.  Frederic 
B.  Kellogg,  Mrs.  George  F.  Plimpton;  Miss  Elizabeth  Rackemann; 
Mrs.  Augustus  N.  Rantoul;  Miss  Mary  D.  Rudd;  Mrs.  Richard 
Saltonstall;  Mrs.  Rudolph  Weld. 

The  Ladies  Visiting  Committee,  formerly  the  Ladies  Visiting 
Committee  to  the  Kindergarten,  has  been  reorganized,  under  the 

13 


leadership  of  Miss  Rosanna  D.  Thorndike,  and  is  now  a  visiting 
committee  to  the  whole  school.  The  new  committee  has  sixteen 
members  and  the  Corporation  was  glad  to  welcome  this  addition  to 
its  governing  boards. 

The  Treasurer  reported  that  the  recommendations  for  changes 
in  the  accounting  system,  including  the  set-up  of  Reserve  Funds 
outlined  in  the  report  of  last  year,  have  been  carried  out.  These 
changes  have  strengthened  the  accounting  system,  and  the  Reseive 
Accounts  are  setting  up  funds  which  will  be  helpful  in  years  when 
income  is  lower  than  at  the  present  time.  The  Treasurer  stated 
that  "every  operating  economy  consistent  with  efficiency  must  be 
practiced,  for  the  finances  of  the  Institution  must  not  be  allowed 
to  become  impaired;  to  do  so  would  jeopardize  the  freedom  of  the 
Institution  to  seek  its  educational  goals." 

The  Director  briefly  outlined  some  events  of  the  year,  speak- 
ing especially  of  the  library  reconstruction,  the  building  of  the 
two  new  reading  rooms  and  the  changes  in  the  offices.  He  invited 
the  members  of  the  Corporation  to  visit  the  library,  reading 
rooms  and  offices  and  to  meet  at  the  end  of  this  inspection  m  the 
new  staff  lounge  where  coffee  would  be  served. 

There  being  no  further  business  the  meeting  was  then  dissolved- 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Gabriel  Farrell,  Secretary

REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES 


November  1,  1948 

ON  BEHALF  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES  the  following 
report  for  the  year  1948  is  submitted;  with  it  are  included 
reports  of  the  Treasurer  and  the  Director. 

The  Treasurer's  report  emphasizes,  particularly,  the  increas- 
ing costs  of  operation. 

The  Director's  report  outlines,  in  an  interesting  fashion,  the 
varied  activities  of  the  year  and  illustrates  how  Perkins  has  main- 
tained its  high  standards  of  instruction  to  the  young  people  who 
come  to  the  school  handicapped  by  visual  deficiencies. 

On  the  basis  of  the  estimated  budget  for  the  coming  year,  our 
expenses  for  each  pupil  will  amount  to  more  than  $2,000.  Perkins 
has  always  been  determined  to  offer  the  best  possible  educational 
opportunities;  the  time  may  be  approaching,  however,  when  the 
Trustees  will  be  forced  to  consider  whether  all  of  our  pupils  need 
so  elaborate  a  program  as  has  become  established.  There  may  be  a 
number  of  young  people  within  the  school,  and  many  more  with 
faulty  vision  outside  of  the  school,  who  might  profit  more  from  a 
simpler  curriculum  and  gain  more  from  an  educational  system 
which  lays  greater  emphasis  on  training  to  meet  practical  needs 
than  our  present  course  offers.  This  problem  has  been  discussed 
many  times  in  the  past  and,  once  again,  may  deserve  reconsidera- 
tion. 

The  budget  calls  for  a  total  expenditure  of  more  than  half  a 
million  dollars.  This  large  figure  gives  the  Trustees  grave  concern, 
not  only  because  of  its  size  but  also  because  it  demands  assurance 
that  new  funds  will  accrue  through  which  Perkins  can  continue  to 
extend  its  program.  Our  endowment  in  the  past  has  grown  largely 
through  many  small  bequests  and  through  a  few  of  most  generous 
proportions.  Our  funds  no  longer  grow  as  rapidly  as  they  did. 
How  soon  must  the  Trustees  plan  to  seek  more  widely  for  financial 
support  than  heretofore  has  been  necessary? 

One  of  the  most  significant  events  of  the  year  was  the  change 
of  plans  for  the  library  and  for  concentrating  other  important 
facilities  within  the  school's  buildings.  In  last  year's  report  refer- 
ence was  made  to  a  special  committee  appointed  to  study  these 
matters  and  to  their  plans  for  a  new  building.  In  the  early  spring 
the  Director  ingeniously  devised  a  new  method  of  accomplishing 
the  purpose  in  mind  for  considerably  less  than  the  contemplated 
cost,  and  with  the  added  advantage  of  housing  all  new  develop- 
ments within  our  present  main  building.  In  his  report  he  has 
described  the  details  of  this;  the  Trustees  wish  to  express  to  him 
their  appreciation  of  his  happy  solution  of  a  problem  which  proved 
so  baffling  for  a  number  of  years. 

15 


Another  interesting  development  is  the  reorganization  of  the 
Ladies  Visiting  Committee.  The  Committee  was  established  m 
1887  to  help  in  the  work  of  the  kindergarten,  then  an  experimental 
project  still  in  its  incipiency.  Until  recently  the  Committee  has 
rendered  valuable  help,  not  only  to  the  administrative  staff  and 
matrons  but  also  to  the  pupils  of  the  Lower  School.  The  Second 
World  War  interfered  so  much  with  its  operation  that  the  help  ot 
a  fresh  and  reviving  stimulant  seemed  needed  for  its  post-war 
rehabilitation.  Miss  Rosaima  D.  Thorndike,  a  Trustee  before 
going  to  France  on  active  service,  has  rejoined  the  Board  and  has 
already  reorganized  this  important  committee.  It  now  no  longer 
restricts  its  activities  to  the  kindergaren  but  has  extended  its 
interests  to  cover  the  whole  school  and  already  its  help  and  influ- 
ence are  perceptible.  The  Trustees  are  deeply  grateful  to  Miss 
Thorndike  and  her  aides. 

With  sincere  regret  the  Trustees  report  the  death  of  one  ot 
their  members:  Mrs.  Mabel  Knowles  Gage,  who  died  at  Worcester 
on  the  sixteenth  of  May.  Mrs.  Gage  became  a  Trustee  in  1933, 
and  was  always  an  active  and  devoted  colleague,  playing  a  positive 
part  in  deliberations  of  the  Board  and  also  taking  an  energetic 
and  personal  interest  in  all  the  affairs  of  the  teachers  and  pupils 
of  the  school.  At  their  meeting  on  June  15,  the  Trustees  passed  a 
formal  memorial  in  her  honor  which  has  been  inscribed  in  our 
vpcords 

During  the  past  year  the  Corporation  has  lost,  by  death,  eight 
members :  Caspar  G.  Bacon,  Mrs.  Maud  Howe  Elliott,  Frederick  A. 
Goskins,  Malcolm  W.  Greenough,  Arthur  D.  Hill,  Fred  F.  Partridge, 
Mrs.  Bertha  A.  Vaughan,  and  Mrs.  Thomas  A.  Watson.  Their  loss 
is  felt  keenly. 

Respectfully  submitted  for  the  Trustees. 
Reginald  Fitz,  President

ON  THE  LOWER  SCHOOL  PLAYGROUND 


IN  THE  VISUAL  AID  CLASSROOM 


REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 

November  1,  1948 

T^HE  YEAR  for  which  this  report  is  being  made,  terminating 
•*•  August  31,  1948,  has  been  one  of  routine  progress.  Nothing 
sensational  has  taken  place.  There  have  been  no  great  incidents, 
nor  many  unusual  activities.  The  general  health  of  the  school  has 
been  good  and  the  academic  program  has  moved  along  smoothly 
as  planned.  In  the  area  of  business  administration,  however,  things 
have  been  at  times  quite  grim.  The  financial  reports  will  show 
that  we  have  come  through  the  year  with  a  relatively  small  deficit. 
The  one  thing  that  seems  appalling  at  this  time  is  the  prospect  of 
greater  costs  next  year.  The  many  "events  of  the  year"  that  this 
report  will  cover,  while  routine  in  nature,  and  old  to  many  who 
have  been  here  a  number  of  years,  are  always  fresh  to  the  new 
pupils.    In  retrospect  we  can  say  that  progress  has  been  made. 

This  progress  was  due  to  the  generous  understanding  of  cur- 
rent problems  by  the  Trustees,  the  careful  planning  and  economy 
of  the  department  heads  and  housemothers  and  the  time,  patience 
and  skill  given  unsparingly  by  the  teachers,  both  in  classrooms 
and  cottages.  Men  and  women  of  the  maintenance  and  domestic 
departments  deserve  credit  for  they  have  stood  by  when  more 
lucrative  work  was  available  elsewhere.  Tribute  must  also  be 
paid  to  pupil  leadership  both  in  building  morale  among  fellow 
students  and  in  cooperation  with  the  administration  chiefly  through 
the  student  councils.  This  report  of  the  happenings  of  the  year 
will  reflect  the  contributions  which  all  members  of  the  Perkins 
community  have  made,  both  as  individuals  and  as  groups  and  for 
all  this  the  administration  is  grateful. 

Business  Outlook  Grim 

Having  referred  to  the  business  administration  of  the  school 
as  the  area  presenting  "grim"  problems  let  us  consider  them  at 
the  outset.  The  Bursar,  Mr.  Hemphill,  in  his  report  used  a 
different  term  for  he  states:  "The  fiscal  year  just  ended  has  been 
an  'historic'  one  for  at  least  two  reasons.  Operating  costs  reached 
a  new  high,  and  improvements  in  both  plant  and  program  were 
undertaken  in  volume  beyond  our  expectation.    The  high  operating 

17 


costs  were  forced  upon  us  by  inflation,  and  changing  conditions  in 
the  fields  of  labor  and  supply.  Many  improvements  in  plant  and 
equipment  were  planned  but  others  were  forced  upon  us  by  the 
weather,  changing  programs  within  the  school  and  items  of  main- 
tenance deferred  because  of  the  war. 

"The  Board  of  Trustees  at  its  September,  1947  meeting  ap- 
proved a  budget  of  $450,985.00  to  cover  the  operation  of  the  Insti- 
tution and  the  Kindergarten  at  Watertown,  and  the  Workshop  at 
South  Boston.  This  provided  for  an  increase  of  $33,477.61  over 
the  costs  of  the  year  before.  The  actual  expenses  for  the  fiscal 
year  1947-1948  totaled  $471,089.57,  resulting  in  a  budgetary  deficit 
of  $10,104.57;  a  loss,  of  approximately  2.2%.  Although  we  were 
disappointed  to  exceed  the  highest  budget  in  our  history,  this  defi- 
cit was  undeniably  reasonable  considering  mounting  costs  during 

the  year. 

"In  setting  up  the  budget,  the  cost-of-living  adjustment  plan 
which  affects  non-teaching,  live-out  personnel,  provision  was  made 
for  45%  supplementary  compensation.  By  August  1948  this  had 
risen  to  64%,  which  cost  the  school  $7,200  more  in  salaries  than 
had  been  anticipated.  The  Trustees  acted  favorably  at  the  June 
meeting  upon  a  suggestion  that  teachers'  salaries  be  reconsidered 
The  teachers  are  not  included  in  the  cost-of-living  plan,  and  with 
advancing  costs  and  nearly  three  months  when  they  do  not  get 
living  at  the  school,  it  seemed  o'nly  fair  to  give  them  some  help. 
A  5%  summer  bonus  was  approved  and  a  10%  advance  for  the 
coming  year  was  authorized.  The  former  added  $3600  to  the  salary 
accounts  of  the  educational  department  for  the  year  which  has 
closed  Our  conservatively  estimated  food  budget  of  $52,000  was 
exceeded  by  $6,800,  an  advance  of  13%.  The  Cost  of  Living  Index 
for  food  in  the  Boston  area  was  fifteen  points  higher  in  July  1948 
than  in  September  1947.  . 

"Our  largest  expense  deficit  occurred  in  the  account  for  special 
maintenance,  repair  and  replacement,  $22,647  against  a  budget  of 
$10  000  Two  major  factors  contributed  to  this  additional  expense. 
The'  severe  winter  with  the  large  amount  of  snow  caused  extensive 
damages,  calling  for  gutter  replacements  at  a  cost  of  $8,000  The  con- 
crete roof  on  the  coal  bunkers  had  to  be  rebuilt  and  repaved  at  a  cost 
of  $4  500.  Other  items  of  expense  on  maintenance  were  the  installa- 
tion of  new  brass  piping  in  Bridgman  and  Tompkins  Cottages  at  a 
cost  of  $2,958.  This  is  the  beginning  of  a  project  which  will  extend 
throughout  the  whole  school  as  this  piping  is  over  thirty  years  old.

"Many  projects  deferred  during  the  war  had  to  be  carried 
through.  A  new  heating  plant  in  the  Principal's  residence  was 
installed  and  the  kitchen  in  the  Chief  Engineer's  cottage  was  re- 
novated. The  prewar  program  of  decorating  in  the  cottages  was 
resumed.  Extensive  new  equipment  was  provided  in  the  school.  A 
small  medical  type  electric  refrigerator  was  installed  in  the  health 
department  for  the  many  drugs  used  today  which  require  refrig- 
eration." 

Academic  Outlook  Bright 

Academically  the  year  has  progressed  without  the  "grim"  as- 
pects of  the  business  side,  although  this  area  has  made  its  contribu- 
tion to  increased  costs.  The  Principal,  Mr.  Sherman,  however, 
reports  that:  "The  most  important  area  in  our  school  program  is 
that  devoted  to  the  care  and  teaching  of  our  youngest  pupils.  In 
the  cottage  groups  from  kindergarte^n  to  the  fourth  grade  our  pupils 
receive  basic  training  on  which  they  will  pattern  their  entire  lives. 
In  classroom  work  at  this  level  we  have  always  tried  to  move  pupils 
along  as  their  growth  and  ability  warrant.  During  the  year,  we  did 
away  entirely  with  grade  labels  and  grade  divisions  in  these  two 
cottages,  and  attempted  to  introduce  a  more  carefully  organized 
plan  of  continuous  progress.  This  plan  was  not  nearly  as  successful 
as  we  had  hoped  it  would  be,  but  it  is  difficult  to  determine  the 
success  of  such  a  program  on  a  one-year  trial.  We  should  continue 
to  carry  on  this  plan  for  at  least  another  year  and  try  to  make  it 
work  more  effectively. 

"At  the  two  other  cottages  in  the  Lower  School  our  program 
has  continued  as  it  has  for  several  years.  The  transfer  of  two 
teachers  from  the  Upper  School  and  the  competency  gained  by 
young  teachers  through  additional  years  of  experience  with  our 
pupils  have  produced  much  more  effective  teaching  at  this  level. 
We  have  been  fortunate  to  have  a  special  remedial  Braille  teacher 
to  assist  pupils  who  have  been  slow  in  making  the  adjustment  to 
Braille  or  who  need  special  assistance  in  improving  their  Braille 
techniques.  Having  this  teacher  has  also  meant  a  more  rapid 
adjustment  to  changed  school  situations  for  pupils  who  have  come 
to  Perkins  from  public  school  classes.  Opportunity  for  good  shop 
training  has  been  provided  for  the  older  boys.  For  the  girls  sev- 
eral extra  curricular  activities  are  provided  by  the  Girl  Scouts. 

"In  the  Upper  School  we  have  continued  to  offer  a  very  broad 
program  of  study.     Our  Upper  School  pupil  population  includes 

19 


(1)  a  majority  of  regular  graded  pupils  spread  from  the  seventh 
grade  level  through  a  post  graduate  year,  (2)  a  group  of  ungraded 
pupils  for  whom  a  regular  school  program  is  inadequate,  and  (3) 
a  number  of  "out  of  course  pupils"  who  are  pursuing  special  ob- 
jectives or  are  seeking  adjustment  to  visual  handicaps  through  a 
school  experience.  Each  year  we  admit  new  pupils  to  the  high 
school  who  do  not  fit  easily  into  the  school  program. 

"Over  a  period  of  years  we  have  moved  away  from  the  tradi- 
tional academic  type  of  program  toward  a  more  'practical'  cur- 
riculum. Last  year  a  careful  study  of  the  high  school  courses  of 
regularly  graded  pupils  showed  that  85.3%  were  enrolled  in  non- 
college  courses  while  14.7%  were  pursuing  the  traditional  college 
course.  Of  the  former,  nineteen  were  pursuing  terminal  vocational 
courses,  (piano  tuning  14.7%  and  commercial  Ediphone  transcrip- 
tion 10.7%.  Twenty  pupils,  or  26.6%,  were  taking  a  general  course 
in  which  many  different  objectives  were  being  sought,  and  twenty- 
five  pupils,  or  33.3%  were  taking  the  practical  arts  course.  An  in- 
teresting comparison  of  these  figures  was  made  with  a  local  high 
school  and  it  is  explai'ned  in  the  following  table: 
COURSE  OF  Study  Perkins      Local  High  School 

General  26.6%  28.6% 

College  14.7%  28.2% 

Practical  Arts  33.3%  11.7% 

Pianoforte  Tuning  14.7% 

Commercial  Course  10.7%  31.5% 

"While  still  giving  a  broad  program  of  studies  organized 
around  a  core  of  general  education  subject  areas  required  of  all 
regularly  grading  pupils,  we  are  attempting  to  emphasize  those 
courses  which  will  prepare  pupils  for  life  situations  and  give  them 
as  many  'salable  skills'  as  possible.  In  general  this  has  been  done 
in  three  ways.  In  both  high  and  junior  high  school  classes,  a  divi- 
sion has  been  made  to  form  small  homogeneous  groups  with  which 
we  are  able  to  deal  more  realistically  on  an  interest  and  ability  level 
commensurate  with  pupil  needs  and  capacities.  Secondly,  the  prac- 
tical arts  program  has  been  broadened  to  include  new  craft  skills, 
home  mechanics  courses,  and  more  use  of  machine  tools.  Thirdly, 
new  courses  have  been  added,  such  as  Guidance  at  the  seventh  grade 
level,  Guidance  and  Occupations  at  the  ninth  grade  level,  and  Ori- 
entation at  the  senior  level.  All  of  these  te^d  to  acquaint  pupils 
with  the  world  of  work  and  to  help  them  to  meet  life  situations 

20 


with  more  'know-how'  and  with  a  better  understanding  of  their 
own  abilities  and  limitations. 

"A  so-called  'practical'  type  of  program  does  not  mean  a  lower- 
ing of  academic  standards.  On  the  contrary,  such  a  curriculum 
makes  possible  an  upward  revision  of  standards  for  a  greater  num- 
ber of  pupils.  We  must  continue  to  introduce,  through  new  courses 
and  a  reshaping  of  old  ones,  more  experimental  material.  Not 
only  should  this  be  done  in  the  classroom,  but  increasing  attention 
and  study  should  be  given  to  important  areas  of  learning  outside 
of  the  school  building.  We  must  re-study  the  ways  by  which  we 
are  helping  our  pupils  to  overcome  the  fundamental  problems  of 
blindness,  and  improve  through  in-service  growth  and  careful  an- 
alysis the  potent  environmental  factors  producing  good  mental 
health  and  leading  our  pupils  to  a  more  realistic  acceptance  and  un- 
derstanding of  their  blindness.  This  is  the  most  practical  aspect 
of  our  entire  program  and  will  be  achieved  only  through  the  loving 
and  intelligent  care  given  our  pupils  by  house-mothers  and  teachers 
working  cooperatively  in  our  cottage  family  plan," 

A  Healthy  Year 

"On  the  whole  the  children  have  had  a  healthy  year."  This 
is  the  final  statement  in  the  report  made  by  Miss  Marjorie  Potter, 
school  nurse,  prior  to  leaving  for  Germany  to  undertake  work  in 
a  camp  for  displaced  children  under  the  direction  of  the  American 
Unitarian  Association.  Her  description  of  the  year  must  be 
amplified,  but  there  have  been  no  unusual  accidents  nor  more  ill- 
ness than  might  be  expected  with  240  children.  An  analysis  of 
the  year's  report  indicates  that  most  of  the  illnesses  this  year  were 
classified  as  upper  respiratory  infections  (143)  followed  by  gastro- 
intestinal upsets  (60).  There  were  no  epidemics  of  measles  or 
chickenpox  as  in  former  years.  We  did,  however,  have  one  case  of 
measles,  one  of  German  measles,  and  three  of  chickenpox.  Part 
of  this  good  record  may  be  attributed  to  the  fine  services  of  Miss 
Potter  and  to  the  ministrations  of  Dr.  Balboni,  school  physician. 

During  the  year  the  children  were  taken  regularly  to  the  Mass- 
achusetts General  Hospital  for  hospitalization  when  necessary  and 
for  periodic  check-ups  through  the  several  clinics.  There  were 
three  tonsillectomies,  one  sinus  operation  and  one  hernia  operation. 
One  of  the  older  girls  went  to  the  Naval  Hospital  for  plastic  sur- 
gery arranged  through  her  family,  and  one  child  during  vacation 

21 


was  in  the  hospital  for  an  appendectomy.  During  the  early 
part  of  the  year  the  routine  tests  were  all  carried  out,  each  new  child 
having  a  very  careful  physical  examination,  and  all  of  the  other 
pupils  being  checked  when  the  need  was  indicated.  Every  child 
in  the  school  had  a  hemoglobin  and  bloodpressure  examination. 
Chest  x-rays  were  taken  of  all  new  pupils,  teachers  and  household 
staff  by  the  State  Department  of  Health,  the  films  being  furnished 
by  the  Middlesex  Health  Association.  Urine  analysis  was  made  of 
all  pupils,  and  inoculations  were  given  to  pupils  in  the  Lower 
School  for  diphtheria,  tetanus  and  whooping  cough.  Wasserman 
tests  were  done  on  all  new  pupils  and  Widal  tests  on  all  those  who 
handled  food. 

Perkins  is  indebted  to  the  Forsyth  Dental  Infirmary  for  dental 
work  beyond  what  our  school  dentists  could  provide,  chiefly  in  the 
area  of  extractions.  Once  again  all  of  the  pupils  of  the  Upper 
School  were  taken  to  the  Forsyth  Infirmary  for  oral  prophylactic 
treatments.  The  study  undertaken  at  Perkins  in  the  Lower  School 
by  the  Tufts  Medical  School  on  the  effect  of  Fluorine  in  arresting 
tooth  decay  was  completed  early  in  October  when  a  number  of  the 
pupils  went  to  the  Tufts  Dental  College  for  examination.  Dr.  Elliott 
came  to  the  school  one  day  a  week  to  care  for  the  dental  needs  of 
the  pupils  of  the  Upper  School,  while  Dr.  Ruelberg  continued  to 
serve  the  children  in  the  Lower  School.  This  was  Dr.  Ruelberg's 
fortieth  year  of  service. 

The  physiotherapy  department  seldom  is  given  sufficient  credit 
for  its  share  in  the  program  of  physical  care.    Our  certified  phys- 
iotherapist. Miss  Shirlie  L.  Smith,  although  visually  handicapped 
has  proved  a  very  effective  worker  in  this  field.     In  December  all 
of  the  new  pupils  were  examined  by  Dr.  Ober,  our  orthopedic  sur- 
geon,   and  treatments   recommended.      Under   his    direction   Miss 
Smith  carried  out  a  very  intensive  program  of  help  for  these  chil- 
dren and  an  extensive  program  of  general  posture  training.     In 
March  Dr.  Ober  again  examined  the   children  for  whom  special 
corrective  work  had  been  prescribed.     This  department   is  fully 
equipped  to  give  mechanotherapy  treatments,  infra-red  treatments 
and  massage.     Weekly  ultra-violet  treatments  have  been  given  to 
practically  all  the  children  and  have  helped  to  improve  the  general 
"     health.     The   official   record   shows   that   3,437   ultra-violet  treat- 
ments were  given,  1,113  mechanotherapy  treatments  and  424  infra- 
red treatments. 


22 


A  long  established  part  of  our  program  is  the  work  done  in 
speech  correction.  In  this  field  Perkins  is  fortunate  in  having 
two  very  capable  and  experienced  teachers  of  speech  therapy.  Mrs. 
Waterhouse,  who  holds  a  master's  degree,  has  had  wide  experience 
in  dealing  with  the  speech  problems  of  blind  children.  She  is  ably 
assisted  in  the  Lower  School  by  Miss  Albertina  Eastman,  a  grad- 
uate of  Perkins  and  Boston  University.  During  the  school  year, 
under  the  leadership  of  those  two  teachers,  forty-six  new  pupils 
were  given  the  routine  speech  test,  and  nineteen  were  found  to  be 
in  need  of  speech  therapy.  The  work  was  continued  with  forty- 
five  children  who  previously  had  been  receiving  treatment.  In  all, 
sixty  children  received  individual  corrective  work. 

Intelligence,  Achievement,  Aptitude 

The  psychological  department  has  carried  out  this  year  its  pro- 
gram of  testing  under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Hayes,  our  psychol- 
ogist, and  Mrs.  Davis,  psychometrist.  Additional  help  in  this  de- 
partment was  available  through  the  services  of  a  graduate  of 
Scripps  College,  who  gave  part  time  to  the  department  and  part 
time  to  the  Harvard  Course,  and  two  Wellesley  seniors  who  worked 
on  testing  as  a  part  of  their  college  program.  The  testing  program 
advanced  along  all  four  major  lines  of  mental  measurement: 

1.  Intelligence  tests;  2.  Achievement  tests;  3.  Aptitude  tests 
and  4.  The  trying  out  and  adaptation  of  tests  to  determine  voca- 
tional preferences. 

Individual  intelligence  tests,  were  given  to  all  new  pupils, 
and  retests  were  administered  to  others  making  a  total  of  127  this 
year.  A  new  form  of  the  Wechsler-Bellevue  Test  was  given  to 
thirty-nine  pupils.  The  English  adaptation  of  the  Binet  Test  made 
by  Ivy  Langan  was  tried  out  on  a  large  number  of  pupils. 

Perkins  has  made  another  contribution  to  the  cause  of  testing 
by  embossing  Form  R  of  the  Metropolitan  Achievement  Tests.  It 
was  time  to  publish  a  new  series,  since  all  ten  forms  of  the  Stan- 
ford Achievement  test  have  been  used  at  Perkins  and  various  other 
schools.  A  trial  of  the  Metropolitan  series  at  Perkins  and  Over- 
brook  gave  very  satisfactory  results,  so  our  plates  have  been  sent 
to  the  American  Printing  House  for  the  Blind,  with  detailed  direc- 
tions prepared  by  Dr.  Hayes,  to  be  distributed  to  other  schools. 

The  use  of  aptitude  tests  for  the  blind  is  relatively  new,  al- 
though previously  tried  on  several  occasions.  There  is,  however, 
an  increasing  demand  for  these  by  agents  of  the  rehabilitation 

23 


service  when  our  pupils  leave  school  and  apply  for  placement.  Be- 
cause of  that,  four  motor  skill  tests  were  tried  out  in  the  Upper 
School  this  year  with  the  assistance  of  the  two  seniors  from  Welles- 
ley.  These  tests  seem  to  have  value  and  can  be  helpful  in  determin- 
ing guidance  possibilities  and  job  opportunities.  It  is  interesting 
to  note  that  the  results  correlate  fairly  accurately  with  the  judg- 
ments of  motor  skill  made  by  the  Perkins  teachers.  As  a  further 
contribution  to  testing  for  the  adult  blind  in  vocational  areas,  a 
modified  technique  for  using  the  Kuder  Preference  Record  was 
developed  and  tried  out  in  the  Upper  School.  This  proved  worth 
while  and  indicative  of  the  special  interests  of  the  pupils.  The  re- 
sults of  these  tests  and  a  description  of  the  technique  used  were 
published  in  the  April  Outlook  for  the  Blind,  and  the  dot-sheets 
and  scoring  stencils  developed  for  those  without  sight  were  offered 
for  sale  so  that  other  schools  or  blind  groups  may  benefit  by  the 
adaptation  of  these  tests  which  Perkins  has  made. 

A  study  is  being  made  of  a  group  of  visually  handicapped  pre- 
mature babies  to  see  if  scales  of  measurement  can  be  developed 
to  determine  their  rate  of  growth  and  mental  promise.  Mrs.  Davis 
visits  the  homes  of  these  children  at  ^^^^j^ /f "^^^^  "^f^/ 
observations,  in  terms  of  the  Maxfleld  adaptation  of  Dolls  Vine- 
land  Social  Maturity  Scale.  When  enough  children  have  been 
becked  over  a  sufficient  period  of  time  it  is  hoped  that  Perkins  ml 
be  able  to  validate  this  scale  and  recommend  its  wide  use  with  the 
group  of  pre-school  children  in  whom  so  much  interest  is  centered 
at  the  present  time. 

Contacts  With  Community 
The  School  Service  Department  under  Miss  Marshall  has  con- 
tinued its  program  in  an  effective  way.    While  Miss  Mar^han  h^^^ 
bpen  kept  in  the  office  by  duties  which  will  be  assumed  by  a  f  ulltime 
registrar  next  year,  she  has  been  able  to  make  more  home  visits  than 
L  the  war  years.    "During  the  last  sum^mer  vacation,"  she  reports, 
''many  homes  in  the  northern  part  of  New  England  w^re  visited 
A  good  deal  of  the  visiting  now  is  done  in  connection  with  the  sta  e 
workers  in  the  several  states.     Together  we  often  go  to  homes  to 
talk  with  parents  about  their  children.     Through  these  visits  we 
are  able  to  talk  over  with  the  parents  the  ways  m  which  the  State 
Divisions  of  the  blind  can  help  their  children  and  what  part  Per 
Sn    can  take  in  these  plans.    This  has  helped  to  clarify  our  rela- 
^onships,  to  make  the  parents  feel  happier  about  having   their

children  come  to  Perkins,  and  to  show  to  what  extent  they  can 
turn  to  the  respective  organizations  for  assistance  when  they  leave 
Perkins." 

Within  the  school  Miss  Marshall  has  helped  in  dealing  with 
individual  children  who  have  presented  problems  beyond  the  scope 
of  the  teachers  or  housemothers.  In  the  more  severe  cases  she  has 
been  advised  and  assisted  by  Dr.  Barry,  the  psychiatrist,  who  has 
worked  during  the  year  with  several  children  who  presented  acute 
problems.  This  is  now  a  well-established  routine  in  the  school,  and 
due  to  the  fact  that  we  have  the  part  time  services  of  a  skilled 
psychiatrist  and  the  full  time  of  a  psychiatric  social  worker,  we 
are  better  equipped  to  deal  with  emotional  disturbances  and  acute 
psychological  problems  than  ever  before.  Many  of  these  prob- 
lems are  found  among  young  people  who  have  lost  their  sight  more 
recently  and  whom  we  are  trying  not  only  to  adjust  to  blindness, 
but  also  instruct  in  ways  of  living  in  a  darkened  world. 

Miss  Marshall  reports  "we  are  having  more  and  more  corres- 
pondence with  and  visits  from  parents  of  children  still  too  young 
to  come  to  Perkins.  Having  children  who  are  visually  handicapped, 
they  are  seeking  early  guidance  and  learning  of  opportunities  for 
the  educational  training  of  their  children.  We  are  glad  to  encour- 
age this  relationship  with  parents  and  we  have  made  a  point  of 
inviting  them  to  bring  their  children  to  the  school  during  the  year 
before  they  might  enter.  This  has  accomplished  a  great  deal  in 
preparing  the  children  for  school  life  and  lessening  the  strange- 
ness which  sometimes  makes  the  change  of  environment  so  hard. 
The  whole  problem  of  more  effectively  serving  the  pre-school  blind 
child  and  his  parents  is  one  that  needs  more  careful  study  and  more 
effective  implementation. 

Music  Department  Notes 
The  Music  Department  had  a  very  successful  year  and  being 
the  first  under  the  leadership  of  Mr.  Bauguss  deserves  special  men- 
tion. Having  been  associated  with  Perkins  for  ten  years,  he  is 
familiar  with  the  music  life  of  Perkins  and  has  continued  the  same 
general  type  of  instruction  and  activity.  Mr.  Bauguss  has  tried, 
however,  to  enrich  the  program  and  to  introduce  a  number  of  new 
features.  One  of  these  was  a  series  of  talks  at  the  morning  assem- 
blies to  build  up  music  appreciation;  another  to  bring  to  Perkins 
outstanding  musicians.  Under  this  plan  the  pupils  and  staff  mem- 
bers were  able  to  enjoy  a  performance  of  the  opera  "The  Marriage 

25 


of  Figaro"  by  the  New  England  Opera  Association  on  October  14; 
Jules  Wolfers  and  his  string  orchestra  on  November  15;  a  concert 
by  Al  Donahue's  Jazz  Orchestra  on  November  25;  Robert  Brink, 
violinist,  on  February  27;  Frank  Gallagher,  organist,  on  March  5; 
Dora  Skipps,  soprano,  a  Perkins  graduate,  on  May  7;  the  English 
Bellringers,  who  played  the  Perkins  chimes,  on  May  23  and  Louise 
Homer  Stires,  soprano,  on  May  25. 

An  afternoon  of  music  which  the  pupils  especially  enjoyed  was 
that  of  April  2  when  Fred  Lowery,  a  talented  whistler,  came  out 
and  gave  two  concerts,  one  in  the  Upper  School  and  one  in  the 
Lower  School,  assisted  by  his  vocalist,  Dorothy  Rae.  Fred  has 
visited  the  school  on  former  trips  to  Boston,  and  the  pupils  always 
enjoy  him  because  he  is  a  graduate  of  the  Texas  School  for  the 
Blind  and  demonstrates  how  successful  a  visually  handicapped 
person  can  become.  At  the  Upper  School  concert  he  asked  the 
pupils  to  select  someone  to  perform  for  him,  and  the  choice  fell 
on  Josephine  Marrama,  a  junior  who  has  been  doing  solo  work 
with  the  Perkins  chorus.  So  impressed  was  Fred  with  Josephine's 
ability  that  he  invited  her  to  be  his  guest  at  his  performance  at 
the  Hotel  Statler  on  April  9.  While  there  he  called  upon  Josephine 
to  sing  before  the  large  and  interested  audience. 

Four  large  programs  were  featured  by  the  Music  Department 
this  year.    The  first  was  the  traditional  group  of  Christmas  Con- 
certs given  by  both  the  Upper  and  Lower  School  choruses  on  Sunday 
afternoon,  December  14,  and  the  following  Tuesday  and  Thursday 
evenings.    These  were  all  given  in  Dwight  Hall,  and  as  in  former 
years,  large  and  appreciative  audiences  enjoyed  the  program  of 
traditional  and  modern  Christmas  carols.    These  were  planned  and 
directed  by  Mr.  Bauguss,  assisted  by  Mrs.  Carr  at  the  organ,  and 
Miss  Seymour  at  the  piano.    The  second  big  feature  was  the  Pops 
Concert  presented  on  three  evenings,  March  9,  10,  and  12,  and 
largely  planned  and  directed  by  Mrs.  Carr,  with  the  assistance 
of  the  other  teachers  of  the  Music  Department.     Although  only 
introduced  a  few  years  ago,  these  concerts  of  popular  music  are 
building  up  into  a  Perkins  tradition,  and  the  program  this  year 
was  as  delightful  as  ever.     A  charge  for  admission  is  made,  and 
the  money  raised  goes  into  the  Music  Fund. 

A  third  enterprise,  an  entirely  new  one,  was  the  participation 
of  the  Perkins  Upper  School  chorus  in  the  Musical  Festival  held 
in  the  Newton  High  School  on  Sunday  afternoon.  May  23.     The

Perkins  chorus  shared  the  program  with  the  Newton  High  School 
chorus  and  the  high  school  orchestra.  The  fourth  event  was  also 
new,  the  presentation  of  the  delightful  little  operetta  "Rumpel- 
stiltzkin"  on  the  evenings  of  June  3  and  4  by  the  pupils  of  the 
Lower  School.  Uniquely  staged  and  delightfully  costumed,  these 
presentations  were  well  received  by  large  audiences.  It  is  difficult 
to  tell  which  enjoyed  the  presentation  more,  the  audiences  who 
marveled  at  our  children's  ability,  or  the  children  themselves,  who 
were  making  their  first  public  appearance. 

Smaller  musical  groups  within  the  school  have  been  active 
this  year.  The  Girls'  Glee  Club,  which  has  for  many  years  given 
concerts,  continued  its  activity  this  year  under  the  direction 
of  Mrs.  Carr.  This  group  presented  pleasing  programs  before 
schools,  church  organizations  and  women's  clubs,  and  is  a  practical 
example  of  what  Perkins  does  for  its  pupils.  Along  with  the  music 
programs,  the  girls  invariably  give  demonstrations  of  Braille  writ- 
ing and  reading  and  other  scholastic  methods.  A  newer  group  is 
the  Boys'  Glee  Club  which  this  year  has  given  programs  before 
many  organizations.  A  most  interesting  trip  down  the  harbor  to 
sing  at  the  city  home  on  Long  Island  in  which  both  clubs  partici- 
pated took  place  on  April  11.  A  third  active  group  this  year  has 
been  the  Boys'  Orchestra  which  carried  on  a  program  of  concerts 
on  a  professional  basis,  and  gave  a  series  of  broadcasts  over  Station 
WCRB.  The  training  of  these  groups  is  part  of  the  Music  De- 
partment's program,  supplementing  the  large  amount  of  individual 
teaching  given  to  pupils  in  harmony,  voice  and  instruments  and 
available  to  all  pupils  with  aptitude  in  music. 

School  Sports 

Another  department  which  is  deserving  of  special  mention  this 
year  is  that  of  physical  education.  Athletically  the  School  has  had 
an  active  year  both  on  the  girls'  and  boys'  side  as  well  as  in  the 
Lower  School.  The  girls  in  the  Upper  School  under  the  able  lead- 
ership of  Miss  Pinkham  have  had  a  consistent  program  of  physical 
training  and  recreational  activities.  These  have  included  swim- 
ming, walking,  dancing  and  gym  work.  Throughout  the  year 
there  have  been  competitions  in  several  fields  by  the  cottage  groups, 
culminating  in  the  field  day  on  May  25  when  May  Cottage  was 
winner.  This  victory  was  celebrated  on  June  7  with  a  banquet 
held  in  May  Cottage  with  teachers  and  staff  members  as  waitresses 

27 


and  all  the  girls  as  guests.  In  the  Lower  School  a  program  of  play 
activity  was  carefully  planned  and  conducted  by  Miss  Siebert,  and 
much  stress  was  put  on  good  posture  with  the  help  of  Miss  Smith. 

On  the  boys'  side  in  the  Upper  School  the  physical  education 
program  was  directed  by  Ben  Smith,  assisted  by  the  house  masters. 
In  the  wrestling  season  he  was  also  helped  by  Ben  Mottelson,  a 
graduate  student  at  Harvard  who  gave  instruction  in  this  sport. 
During  the  fall  months  the  traditional  tournament  in  football  was 
held  between  the  four  cottages.     This  resulted  in  a  tie  victory 
between  Bridgman  and  Eliot  Cottages  and  was  celebrated  by  the 
annual  football  banquet  held  on  November  22  at  Moulton  Cottage. 
The  major  sport  during  the  winter  term  was  wrestling.    This 
year  Perkins  had  a  notable  season.    Meets  were  held  with  Needham, 
Attleboro  and  Wellesley  High  Schools,  and  with  Andover,  Browne 
and  Nichols,  Noble  and  Greenough,  Tabor,  Milton,  St.  Marks  and 
Exeter  Academies.    Of  these  meets  Perkins  won  five  and  lost  five. 
The  big  event  in  the  wrestling  program,  however,  was  the  meet 
held  in  Staunton,  Virginia,  February  20  and  21  by  the  Eastern 
Athletic  Association  of  Schools  for  the  Blind.   Perkins  sent  a  team 
of  nine  boys  with  three  masters  to  Virginia  to  participate  in  this 
event  with  eight  other  schools  for  the  blind.   Perkins  won  the  meet 
with  twenty-four  points,  and  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  our  boys 
won  but  one  match,   whereas   every  boy   scored  points   in  other 
matches,  making  enough  to  bring  victory.     This  trip  gave  oppor- 
tunity for  association  with  boys  in  other  schools  for  the  blind,  and 
provided   opportunity  for  our   pupils   to   visit  historic  places  In 
Virginia,  in  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  in  New  York. 

Another  meet  of  the  Eastern  Athletic  Association  of  Schools 
for  the  Blind  was  the  culmination  of  the  spring  track  season.    Fol- 
lowing meets  with  the  Watertown   High   School   and   other  local 
schools,  Perkins  athletes  concentrated  on  preparation  for  the  Asso- 
ciation meet  which  was  held  at  Perkins  on  Saturday,  May  15.    On 
the  day   before,  seven  boys  and  one  master  from  each  of  eight 
schools  for  the  blind  arrived  at  Perkins  for  the  week-end.     The 
event  itself  proved  to  be  a  notable  occasion.    Judged  and  directed 
by  professionals,  it  attracted  wide  publicity  in  the  local  press  and 
on  the  radio.    In  this  event,  the  Virginia  team,  host  of  the  previous 
meet  where  Perkins  was  victor,  won  the  championship.     Perkins 
secured  third  place.    On  that  evening  a  banquet  was  held  in  Dwight 
Hall  for  all  the  Perkins  Upper  School  boys  and  the  many  guests.

This  proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  delightful  events  of  athletic  and 
social  history  in  Perkins. 

On  the  week-end  of  November  14,  five  girls  and  a  teacher  from 
Perkins  joined  with  similar  groups  from  five  other  schools  for  a 
week-end  playday  held  at  Perkins.  Over  the  week-end  of  May  28, 
five  boy  scouts  accompanied  by  Mr.  Smith  joined  in  a  camping 
week-end  with  scouts  of  other  schools  for  the  blind  at  the  Overbrook 
School  in  Philadelphia.  This  interchange  of  pupil  activities  and 
visits  among  our  special  schools  is  one  that  we  now  want  to  encour- 
age as  it  was  impossible  during  the  war  years. 

Children  op  the  Silent  Night 

This  has  been  an  active  and  successful  year  for  the  Deaf-Blind 
Department  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Gittzus.  We  have  had 
eight  boys  and  girls  under  instruction  and  all  of  them  have  made 
adequate  progress.  This  is  not  as  large  a  number  of  pupils  as 
in  earlier  years  because  of  the  difficulty  we  are  having  in  securing 
enough  trained  teachers.  There  is  still  a  crying  need  throughout 
the  country  for  the  education  of  more  deaf-blind  children  and  every 
effort  is  being  made  to  find  and  to  train  teachers  so  that  this  depart- 
ment may  more  adequately  serve  these  doubly  handicapped  children. 

This  year  marked  the  completion  of  the  education  of  three  of 
the  deaf-blind  pupils  who  came  to  Perkins  as  little  children  and 
are  now  grown  up  and  one  who  was  here  for  four  years.  The  first 
of  these  is  Leonard  Dowdy  who  was  the  first  pupil  to  be  taught 
wholly  by  the  oral  method.  Because  of  his  attractiveness  and 
promise  Leonard  has  been  one  of  the  most  interesting  pupils  that 
this  department  has  ever  had.  During  the  sixteen  years  he  has 
been  here  Leonard  has  matured  into  a  fine  appearing  and  well- 
mannered  young  man.  While  he  had  not  completed  sufficient  aca- 
demic work  to  be  graduated  from  high  school  as  "Tad"  Chapman 
was  in  1935,  he  has  reached  the  level  of  his  school  achievement. 
Now  twenty-one  years  old  it  was  felt  that  the  time  had  come  for 
him  to  have  specific  training  in  skills  which  v^^ould  be  the  means 
of  his  livelihood.  Arrangements  were  therefore  made  for  Leonard 
to  enter  in  June,  the  shop  of  the  Industrial  Home  for  the  Blind  In 
Brooklyn  which  is  doing  notable  work  in  vocational  training  for 
deaf-blind  men.  At  the  Home  Leonard  was  welcomed  by  Robert 
Smithdas,  a  deaf -blind  graduate  of  Perkins  in  1945,  who  is  living 
at  the  Industrial  Home  while  attending  St.  John's  University  where 
he  is  on  the  Dean's  List  for  high  scholarship. 

29 


Three   girls  in  the   department  terminated  their  work  this 
year.    The  first  is  Gloria  Shipman  who,  like  Leonard,  came  from 
Missouri.     Gloria  has  been  at  Perkins  eleven  years  and  is  now 
twenty  years  of  age.    During  these  years  she  has  developed  good 
speech  and  while  achieving  a  great  deal  of  academic  learning,  she 
has  shown  unusual  skill  in  homemaking.    Gloria  has  also  developed 
hand  skills  which  can  be  employed  in  home  industries  or  in  a  shel- 
tered shop.    She  has  a  well  adjusted  personality  which  enables  her 
to  face  life  with  great  cheer  and  competence.    Another  is  Carmella 
Otero  of  New  Jersey,  now  twenty-one  and  quite  a  contrast  to  Gloria 
in  that  she  is  small  of  stature  and  very  shy.     She  has  developed 
good  speech  and  has  made  fine  progress  academically,  but  Is  not  as 
out-going  as  Gloria.    Possessing  a  demure  personality  Carmella  is 
deeply  religious  and  might  well  find  happiness,  if  it  could  be  ar- 
ranged, in  an  institution  of  her  church.    The  third  pupil  to  termi- 
nate her  career  here  is  Janice  Gonyea  who,  when  she  came  to  Per- 
kins in  1944,  had  partial  sight  but  was  totally  deaf.    She  had  not 
developed  speech   which  was   complicated    by  dental   deficiencies. 
While   at   Perkins  these  were   overcome,    speech    developed,    and 
through  operations  her  sight  was  restored  to  a  point  where  she 
is  no  longer  considered  a  blind  child.     Her  family  having  moved 
from  Massachusetts  to  New  York,  arrangements  were  made  for 
her  to  enter  a  school  for  the  deaf  in  that  state.    In  place  of  these 
four,  three  new  pupils  have  already  been  accepted  for  the  coming 
year  and  it  is  hoped  that  more  may  be  added  during  the  year 

In  November  the  annual  appeal  was  sent  out  to  about  11,000 
persons  throughout  the  country.  Once  again  a  little  calendar  was 
sent  with  the  appeal.  This  had  a  picture  of  Juanita,  our  attractive 
little  girl  from  Colorado,  talking  with  Barbara,  a  Massachusetts 
child  whom  we  have  been  helping  this  year  by  visits  to  her  home, 
and  who  will  be  a  pupil  of  the  school  this  coming  year.  The  re- 
sponse to  our  appeal  was  again  generous  and  for  that  we  are 
grateful  Fifteen  hundred  contributors  gave  a  total  of  51b,o»y.t>u. 
mile  a  personal  letter  of  thanks  was  written  to  each  contributor, 
we  want  again  to  convey  our  appreciation  for  what  they  have  done 
to  continue  and  to  advance  the  work  for  our  Children  of  the  Silent 
Night. 

Events  of  the  Year 
The  routine  events  of  the  year  to  which  reference  has  previ- 
ously been  made  include  many  which  are  not  covered  by  the  reports 

30 


of  the  several  school  departments.  These  are  of  a  general  nature 
such  as  the  conferences  and  retreats  held  over  the  first  week-end 
in  October  and  the  first  week-end  in  May  by  the  Protestant  and 
Catholic  Guilds  for  the  Blind.  The  Catholic  boys  went  again  to 
Campion  Hall  in  Andover  on  both  occasions,  while  the  girls,  as  In 
previous  years,  held  their  retreats  at  the  Cenacle  in  Brighton.  The 
Protestant  Guild  planned  for  the  girls  to  go  to  the  Farrington 
Memorial  Center  in  Lincoln,  while  a  new  plan  was  developed  for 
the  conduct  of  the  boys'  conferences  in  that  they  were  held  in  the 
Town  of  Duxbury,  with  the  Episcopal  and  Congregational  churches 
co-operating  with  services  within  their  buildings,  and  with  the 
boys  living  in  families  in  the  community.  These  proved  very 
happy  innovations  and  the  boys  enjoyed  this  opportunity  to  visit 
in  homes.  All  of  the  pupils  came  under  the  spiritual  direction  of 
qualified  leaders.  This  does  a  great  deal  to  enrich  their  lives  and 
to  strengthen  their  faith.  We  are  indebted  to  the  two  guilds  as 
well  as  to  the  Boston  Aid  for  the  Blind,  who  helped  Jewish  pupils, 
for  these  services,  as  well  as  for  the  provision  made  for  religious 
instruction  on  Thursday  afternoons  throughout  the  school  year. 

Early  events  of  the  fall  of  special  interest,  were  the  annual 
reception  for  the  staff  held  at  the  Director's  house  on  October  15, 
and  the  visit  to  the  school  on  October  28  of  Tom  Brenaman,  who 
delighted  the  pupils  with  his  line  of  chatter.  The  Educational 
Buyers  Association,  holding  their  annual  fall  meeting  at  M.  I.  T. 
and  Simmons  College,  came  to  Perkins  on  October  29.  Mr.  Hemphill 
acted  as  host  and  the  pupils  sang.  On  November  9  girls  of  the 
Upper  School  went  to  the  Boston  Navy  Yard  and  enjoyed  visiting 
"Old  Ironsides"  and  more  modern  ships  of  the  Navy.  On  Novem- 
ber 5  a  number  of  pupils  attended  a  presentation  of  the  "Barretts 
of  Wimpole  Street"  by  the  Winchester  Players.  During  the  fall 
months  the  Community  Fund  was  stressed  and  practically  100% 
of  the  staff  and  pupils  of  Perkins  made  a  contribution  of  $858.40. 
Later  $410.50  was  contributed  to  the  American  Red  Cross. 

Two  annual  events  in  the  month  of  November  were  the  ob- 
servances of  Founder's  Day  in  the  Lower  School  and  Howe  Day 
in  the  Upper  School.  At  the  former  held  on  November  7  tribute 
was  paid  to  Michael  Anagnos,  second  Director  of  Perkins  and 
founder  of  the  kindergarten.  A  unique  program  was  presented, 
during  which  the  younger  children  walked  in  procession  to  the 
statue  of  Michael  Anagnos  in  the  Lower  School  quadrangle  and 
placed  floral  offerings  at  its  base,  while  the  rest  of  the  school  sang 

31 


the  "Founder's  Song."  The  Howe  memorial  exercises  in  memory 
of  the  first  Director  were  observed  on  his  birthday,  November  10, 
and  followed  the  traditional  pattern  of  recitations  of  events  in  the 
life  of  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  by  members  of  the  Howe  Memorial 
Club  with  remembrances  and  appreciation  this  year  by  Henry  H. 
Richards,  grandson  of  Dr.  Howe. 

Thanksgiving  was  marked  by  a  long  week-end  when  nearly 
all  pupils  were  able  to  go  home.  December  was  spent  largely  in 
preparing  for  the  Christmas  Concerts.  There  were  also  the  annual 
Christmas  parties  held  on  Monday  evening,  December  15,  in  all  of 
the  cottages.  The  pupils  left  for  the  two  weeks  holiday  after  the 
Christmas  Concert  on  December  19.  The  winter  term  was  broken 
this  year  by  a  long  week-end  over  Washington's  Birthday,  which 
coming  on  Sunday  was  observed  on  Monday.  Most  of  the  pupils 
went  home  Friday  night,  returning  in  time  for  school  on  Tuesday 

morning. 

Many  recitals  by  individuals  and  groups  in  the  Music  Depart- 
ment were  given  during  the  winter  term.  A  series  of  six  confer- 
ences was  held  for  the  matrons  under  the  leadership  of  the  Direc- 
tor Dr  Hayes  and  Miss  Marshall,  during  which  many  problems 
were  discussed.  "The  Housemothers'  Guide"  by  Edith  M.  Stern 
was  used  as  a  text  for  these  conferences.  Other  conferences  of 
interest  were  those  this  winter  by  the  Department  of  Personnel 
with  the  representatives  of  the  several  states  sending  pupils  to 
Perkins.  In  these  conferences  the  future  plans  and  vocational  ob- 
jectives of  the  pupils  were  discussed.  Teas  were  held  on  Wednesday 
afternoons  for  the  members  of  the  staff  and  the  Harvard  Class  at 
the  Director's  house. 

The  spring  term  is  always  one  of  much  activity.  There  were 
recitals  by  pupils  of  the  Music  Department,  and  eleven  one  act 
plays,  eight  of  which  were  in  radio  form,  presented  under  the 
direction  of  Miss  Claudia  Potter.  Several  groups  from  outside 
of  the  school  came  in  to  hold  meetings  at  Perkins.  On  April  27 
the  New  England  Association  of  Piano  Tuners  were  the  guests  of 
the  Piano  Tuning  Department  under  the  leadership  of  Mr.  Durfee. 
On  May  7,  Miss  Marshall,  our  psychiatric  social  worker,  was  the 
hostess  to  the  New  England  branch  of  the  Psychiatric  Association 
which  held  its  spring  meeting  at  Perkins.  On  the  afternoon  and  eve- 
ning of  May  24  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Massachusetts  Council  of 
Organizations  for  the  Blind  was  held.    A  supper  was  served  followed

by  a  session  at  which  the  speaker  was  Michael  J.  Shortley,  Head  of 
the  Office  of  Vocational  Rehabilitation  in  Washington.  On  June  2, 
all  of  the  cottages  held  their  annual  picnics  at  various  resorts  and 
beaches.  On  several  afternoons  during  the  spring  term  the  boys 
were  able  to  attend  professional  baseball  games  through  the  court- 
esy of  the  Red  Sox,  while  on  May  1,  Victor  Raschi,  star  pitcher  for 
the  New  York  Yankees,  whose  brother  is  a  student  at  Perkins  came 
to  the  school  and  talked  to  the  pupils. 

Graduation  and  Graduates 

Graduation  exercises  were  held  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  June 
15.  Dr.  Reginald  Fitz,  President  of  the  Corporation,  presided, 
while  the  commencement  address  was  made  by  the  Rev.  John 
Crocker,  Litt.  D.,  Headmaster  of  the  Groton  School,  and  the  in- 
vocation was  given  by  the  Rev.  L.  Wendell  Hughes,  Minister  of 
the  First  Unitarian  Parish  in  Watertown.  Four  girls  and  three 
boys  completed  the  requirements  for  graduation  and  diplomas  were 
awarded  to  them.  Manual  Training  Certificates  for  proficiency 
in  that  department  were  given  to  Dorothy  H.  Appleby  and  Esther 
A.  Blanchette.  A  Commercial  Department  Certificate  was  given  to 
Jeanne  T.  Bryan,  one  of  the  graduates  who,  during  the  summer, 
secured  a  position  as  Ediphonist  and  telephone  operator  at  Sacred 
Heart  College  in  Newton.  Certificates  of  the  Tuning  Department 
were  given  to  four  young  men  including  one  of  the  boys  from 
Greece.  Nils  A.  Johanson  and  Francis  E.  Devino  are  building  up 
businesses  and  the  latter  has  organized  a  successful  orchestra.  The 
fourth  in  the  department  was  Miguel  Ruiz  who  came  to  Perkins 
on  a  national  scholarship  from  Arizona,  and  recently  reported  that 
he  is  earning  $50  a  week  at  tuning  in  his  home  state. 

One  of  the  graduates  was  a  young  Greek,  Panaghiotis  Theo- 
doropoulos,  who  came  from  Greece  in  1946  and  in  two  years  was 
able  to  complete  three  years  of  work  which  won  for  him  a  Perkins 
diploma.  Two  other  young  men  from  Greece  have  also  spent  two 
years  at  Perkins,  and  completed  their  work  in  June.  Emanuel 
Kaphakis  completed  the  Harvard  Course  and  arrangements  have 
been  made  for  him  to  assume  leadership  in  the  School  for  the 
Blind  near  Athens.  John  Papazoglou,  a  young  man  of  talent  who 
studied  music,  also  took  the  full  piano  tuning  course  and  received 
a  certificate  as  qualified  to  service  and  tune  pianos.  He  is  to  es- 
tablish  a  tuning  business   and  give  instruction   in  that  field   in 


Greece.  Two  other  young  blind  men  came  from  Greece  at  the  same 
time  as  the  three  in  Perkins,  all  under  the  auspices  of  the  Amer- 
ican Friends  of  the  Blind  in  Greece,  and  they  spent  the  two  years 
studying  agriculture  at  the  Barnes  School  for  the  Blind  in  New 
Hampshire.  All  five  left  New  York  for  Greece  late  in  July,  and 
they  will  provide  good  trained  leadership  for  the  work  for  the  blind 
in  their  homeland. 

Former  Perkins  graduates  have  achieved  success  in  the  aca- 
demic world  according  to  reports  received  during  the  year.  On 
June  10  Albert  Gayzagian  was  graduated  from  Harvard  Univer- 
sity, magna  cum  laude,  and  elected  to  membership  in  Phi  Beta 
Kappa.  Albert  attended  Perkins  from  kindergarten  until  he  was 
transferred  to  the  Watertown  High  School  from  which  he  grad- 
uated. William  F.  Gallagher,  Perkins  '43,  received  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts  from  Holy  Cross  in  June.  During  the  past  year 
he  was  vice-president  of  the  senior  class.  Edmund  E.  Berube,  Jr., 
Perkins  '46,  was  named  to  the  Council  of  the  class  of  1950  at  Brown 
University.  Evan  Rempel,  Perkins  '47,  and  now  at  the  University 
of  Montana,  ranked  among  the  first  100  students  in  the  college  of 
3300  students. 

Staff  Changes 
There  were  more  staff  changes  this  year  than  last;  seventeen 
resignations  and  two  retirements,  most  of  them  taking  place  at 
the  end  of  the  year  in  June.     The  largest  change  was  in  the  field 
of  matrons.    Two  matrons,  Mrs.  Ruth  E.  Geer  of  Fisher  Cottage 
in  the  Girls'  Upper  School  and  Miss  Ethel  M.  Goodwin  of  Bradlee 
Cottage  in  the  Lower  School,  terminated  their  work  in  June  after 
serving  twenty-one  and  twenty-five  years  respectively.     They  are 
the  only  two  remaining  matrons  who  were  in  service  when  the 
present  administration  began  seventeen  years  ago.     Their  years 
of  devoted  service  are  deeply  appreciated.     Mrs.  Florence  B.  Rob* 
ison  will  act  as  Matron  in  Bradlee  Cottage,  and  Miss  Judith  G.  Sil- 
vester, for  several  years  connected  with  the  Deaf-Blind  Depart- 
ment will  assume  the  matronship  of  Fisher  Cottage,  which  is  to 
be  used  entirely  by  that  department.    Mrs.  Margaret  Fairweather, 
who  has  been  at  Potter  Cottage  for  a  year,  resigned,  and  Mrs. 
Janet  G.  Hancock,  who  has  been  Matron  of  Anagnos  since  1936, 
gave  up  her  work  in  that  cottage  to  assume  the  matronship  of 
Moulton  Cottage  in  the  Boys'  Upper  School,  taking  the  place  of 

34 


Mrs.  Frieda  Jablonske  who  has  resigned.  Mrs.  Fairweather's  place 
will  be  taken  by  Miss  Marie  A.  Carter,  and  Mrs.  Beatrice  Wakefield 
will  succeed  Mrs.  Hancock.  This  makes  three  new  matrons  in  the 
Lower  School  group. 

Marriage  was  the  reason  for  the  resignations  of  the  following 
group  of  young  women:  Miss  Marion  Hosken  and  Miss  Gertrude 
D.  Seibert,  teachers  in  the  Lower  School;  Miss  Janet  H.  Chick  and 
Miss  Caroline  H.  Gray  in  the  Girls'  Upper  School.  Other  resigna- 
tions included  Miss  Beverley  Havener,  assistant  in  the  Bursar's 
office;  Miss  Beatrice  F.  Pinkham,  teacher  of  physical  education  in 
the  Girls'  Upper  School;  George  Faulkner  and  Miss  Elizabeth  C. 
Hart,  teachers  of  music;  Miss  Mary  F.  Davies,  Miss  Linda  L. 
Mosher  and  Miss  Bertha  Feinberg,  teachers  in  the  Lower  School; 
and  Frank  Hilliard,  teacher  of  caning.  Miss  Marjorie  Potter,  res- 
ident Nurse,  resigned  to  go  overseas  to  work  in  a  camp  for  dis- 
placed children  under  the  American  Unitarian  Association.  She 
is  now  engaged  in  this  work  in  Germany.  Miss  Mary  H.  Ferguson, 
who  has  completed  twenty-seven  years  of  teaching  in  the  Girls' 
Upper  School  and  in  recent  years  headed  the  Commercial  Depart- 
ment, gave  up  her  work  under  the  Perkins  Retirement  Plan. 

New  staff  members  for  the  coming  year  include  Miss  Margaret 
F.  Bishop,  graduate  of  Massachusetts  General  Hospital  Nursing 
School  as  resident  Nurse;  Miss  Adeline  Dale,  Jamestown  College  '42, 
teacher  of  physical  education  in  the  Lower  School;  Miss  Margaret  G. 
Bigelow,  Bridgewater  Teachers'  College,  '47,  teacher  of  physical  ed- 
ucation in  the  Girls'  Upper  School;  Samuel  E.  Price,  University  of 
Massachusetts  '48,  teacher  of  physical  education  and  poultry.  Boys' 
Upper  School;  Miss  Nancy  C.  Jones,  Wheelock  College  '48,  and  Miss 
J.  Elizabeth  Andrews,  Mt.  Holyoke  '48,  Kindergarten  teachers;  Miss 
Winifred  G.  Ellis,  Mt.  Holyoke  '13,  teacher  of  commercial  subjects; 
Miss  Marion  K.  Liversidge,  Modern  School  of  Fashion  and 
Design  '47,  teacher  of  sewing  and  practical  arts;  Bernard  P.  Bar- 
beau,  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music  '48,  voice  teacher;  Miss 
Betty  Jane  Wenzel,  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music  '48, 
teacher  of  music  in  the  Lower  School;  Maurie  Edelstein,  Indiana 
University  '48,  part-time  assistant  in  psychology;  Mrs.  Julia  Edel- 
stein, assistant  in  the  Library;  Mrs.  Patricia  M.  Huddleston,  West- 
ern Michigan  College  '48,  craft  teacher  in  the  Deaf-Blind  Depart- 
ment; Miss  Audrey  White  and  Miss  Dorothy  Reynolds,  attendants 

35 


in  that  department,  and  Miss  Jacqueline  L.  McNally,  assistant 
in  the  business  office.  Miss  Marion  A.  Woodworth,  who  has  been 
employed  in  the  Library  has  been  transferred  to  the  administra- 
tion offices  as  Registrar. 

The  enrollment  of  the  school  as  of  October  1,  1948  was  243 
compared  with  258  a  year  ago.  Last  year  we  were  carrying  on  the 
roll  fifteen  pupils  who  had  been  transferred  to  schools  in  their 
home  communities.  This  year  there  are  eight  such  pupils  makmg 
the  number  in  residence  235  compared  with  243  last  year.  This 
shows  a  drop  of  eight,  but  before  October  closed  seven  pupils  de- 
layed in  entering  were  admitted,  bringing  the  total  to  242  or  one 
below  last  year.  During  the  year  46  pupils  were  added  and  54 
were  discharged.  The  reasons  for  discharge  were:  graduated  — 7; 
completed  scholarships  —  3 ;  completed  post-graduate  work  — 4; 
completed  other  training  — 8;  transferred  to  public  schools  or 
sight-saving  classes  — 21;  ceased  to  progress  — 7;  withdrew  vol- 
untarily—  2;  withdrew  on  account  of  illness  —  2. 

The  235  pupils  enrolled  October  1,  1948  are  divided  as  follows: 
Massachusetts  — 129;  Maine  — 29;  New  Hampshire  — 15 ;  Rhode 
Island  — 24;  Vermont  — 14;  and  from  other  states  — 24.  This 
year  we  have  students  from  three  foreign  countries  —  China,  Haiti 
and  Mexico,  and  from  sixteen  states  other  than  New  England  — 
Alabama,  Colorado,  Georgia,  Idaho,  Louisiana,  Michigan,  Missouri, 
Montana,  New  Jersey,  New  York,  North  Carolina,  Ohio,  Pennsyl- 
vania, South  Carolina,  Tennessee  and  Washington. 

New  Library  Facilities 

The  last  Annual  Report  and  several  previous  reports  cited  the 
great  need  for  more  space  for  the  Perkins  Library,  which  not  only 
serves  the  school,  but  is  one  of  the  twenty-six  distributing  libra- 
ries for  the  books  furnished  to  the  adult  blind  through  the  Library 
of  Congress.    This  work  through  the  years  has  grown  to  such  an 
extent,  that  the  available  facilities  were  far  from  adequate.     It 
was  thought  at  the  time  that  there  was  no  way  in  which  more  space 
could  be  provided  within  the  present  Howe  Building.     Studies  had 
been  made  for  a  new  and  separate  library  building,  which  would 
not  only  provide  space  for  the  books-recorded,  embossed  and  in  mk- 
print,  but  would  also  give  other  needed  facilities  such  as  a  recrea- 
tion center  for  the  staff,  rooms  for  the  Harvard  Class  and  Talking 

36 


Book  reading,  and  space  for  the  extension  of  the  Museum  and  for 
research. 

The  plans  for  a  new  building  had  actually  been  prepared,  and 
the  Trustees  had  reached  a  point  of  readiness  to  proceed  with  con- 
struction, when  a  new  solution  for  the  whole  problem  was  discovered. 
This  new  plan  was  approved  at  the  June  meeting  of  the  Trustees, 
and  authorization  given  for  the  necessary  construction  and  changes. 
The  work  began  at  the  close  of  the  school,  and  has  proceeded  through 
the  summer  vacation.  The  needed  space  for  the  library  books  was 
ready  at  the  opening  of  school,  although  the  finishing  touches,  and 
some  of  the  facilities  for  other  purposes  were  not  fully  completed, 
but  by  the  time  this  report  is  published  they  will  surely  be  ready 
and  will  be  fully  functioning. 

The  space  needed  to  shelve  more  books  was  provided  by  taking 
out  the  reading  tables  between  stacks  in  the  present  library; 
moving  the  old  stacks  closer  together  in  the  front  two-thirds  of  the 
library,  and  installing  in  the  rear  third  a  steel  balcony.  Metal 
stacks  on  the  floor  and  balcony  levels  provide  space  for  25,000  ad- 
ditional volumes.  The  chief  difficulty  in  making  these  changes 
was  in  continuing  to  serve  efficiently  our  readers  outside  of  the 
school.  It  would  happen  that  during  this  time  the  demand  for 
books  reached  a  new  high.  During  the  year  the  circulation  of 
books  totaled  34,728  volumes  of  which  26,324  were  outside  the 
school.  This  figure  divides  into  18,802  recorded  sets  and  7,522  em- 
bossed volumes,  showing  the  rising  ascendency  of  Talking  Book 
use.  The  main  library  accessioned  309  sets  of  Talking  Books  and 
1,116  volumes  of  embossed  books,  while  the  Lower  School  branch 
library  added  312  volumes.  The  library  gave  away  441  volumes  to 
China,  Japan,  the  Philippines,  Jerusalem,  Greece  and  Holland. 

To  secure  reading  space  and  to  get  much  needed  study  halls, 
two  new  rooms  are  being  erected  on  terraces  at  the  rear  of  the 
Howe  Building.  One  adjoins  the  library  and  the  other  Dwight 
Hall.  These  extensions  will  provide  attractive  rooms,  ninety  by 
eighteen  feet,  with  windows  on  one  long  side  overlooking  the  river. 
The  rooms  are  adequate  to  accommodate  the  boys  and  the  girls  of 
the  Upper  School.  Facilities  are  being  installed  for  Talking  Book 
reading  and  recording.  These  are  still  under  construction.  A 
fuller  description  will  be  postponed  until  the  next  report. 

Other  changes  necessary  to  gain  facilities  planned  for  the  new 
building  have  been  made  in  the  Howe  Building.    The  Harvard  Class 

37 


will  occupy  the  former  girls'  assembly  room.  The  Board  room  and 
Director's  office,  has  been  furnished  as  a  comfortable  lounge  for  the 
staff  members,  with  an  adjoining  room  equipped  with  a  combina- 
tion gas  stove,  refrigerator,  sink  and  other  facilities  for  serving 
refreshments.  The  group  of  rooms  recently  used  by  the  Deaf -Blind 
Department  has  been  completely  re-designed  to  provide  offices  for 
the  administrative  and  educational  staff  with  space  for  the  cen- 
tralization of  the  files  and  records.  This  change  has  made  more 
space  available  in  the  corresponding  wing  on  the  other  side,  for  the 
business  offices,  needed  because  of  the  transfer  of  many  of  the 
business  functions  from  the  Treasurer's  office  in  Boston  to  the  office 
of  the  Bursar  in  Watertown.  In  addition,  the  bookkeeping  of  the 
Howe  Memorial  Press  and  the  Workshop  will  also  be  centralized 
in  Watertown. 

The  Deaf-Blind  Department  classrooms  which  were  in  the 
space  now  appropriated  by  the  offices,  are  to  be  in  Fisher  Cottage, 
where  for  two  or  three  years  the  deaf-blind  girls  have  been  living. 
The  small  enrollment  in  the  Girls'  Upper  School  has  made  it  pos- 
sible to  assign  this  whole  cottage  for  the  Deaf-Blind  Department. 
A  study  of  enrollment  indicates  that  this  space  can  be  occupied  for 
two  or  three  years.  For  several  years  the  boys  in  the  Lower  School 
outnumbered  the  girls.  When  this  balance  is  readjusted,  it  will 
be  necessary  to  find  other  quarters  for  the  Deaf-Blind  Department 
as  the  Girls'  Upper  School  will  then  need  all  four  cottages.  It  has 
been  proposed  that  when  this  time  comes,  the  Director's  house  be 
made  the  Deaf-Blind  center,  as  it  lends  itself  admirably  to  that 
purpose,  and  that  a  smaller  and  more  modern  house  be  provided  for 
the  Director  and  his  family. 

The  Workshop  and  The  Press 

The  Workshop  in  South  Boston  has  had  a  good  year  although 
it  was  not  as  active  as  the  year  before  because  fewer  mattresses 
were  received  for  re-making.  Four  thousand  and  ninety-four 
mattresses  were  re-made,  and  one  thousand,  two  hundred  and 
ninety-two  chairs  were  re-caned.  This  gave  employment  to  twenty- 
two  blind  persons  who,  under  the  new  plan  of  adding  to  piece 
rates,  supplementary  payments  on  the  basis  of  the  cost-of-living 
index,  earned  substantial  compensation  for  their  work.  Mr.  Bryan, 
the  Manager,  was  ill  for  several  weeks  during  the  year,  but  other 
members  of  the  staff  carried  on  the  work  in  an  effective  way. 

38 


Because  of  his  illness  and  the  fact  that  he  was  past  the  retirement 
age,  Mr.  Bryan  has  been  led  to  feel  that  the  time  has  come  for  his 
retirement.  During  the  forty  years  he  has  been  associated  with  the 
shop,  Mr.  Bryan  has  given  able  leadership  to  this  work  and  has 
devoted  his  whole  life  to  the  blind.  To  take  up  Mr.  Bryan's  work 
Perkins  is  fortunate  in  securing  Fred  G.  Marsh,  who  brings  to 
the  position  as  Manager  of  the  Workshop  a  wide  business  experi- 
ence, and  a  human  interest  in  people.  He  joined  the  staff  on  Aug- 
ust 15,  while  Mr.  Bryan  relinquishes  his  work  and  goes  on  retire- 
ment on  October  1,  1948. 

In  addition  to  managing  the  Workshop,  Mr.  Bryan  has  been 
the  efficient  director  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press,  and  is  one  of  the 
world's  greatest  authorities  on  technical  aspects  of  Braille.  Mr. 
Bryan  was  the  first  person  to  introduce  interpoint  Braille,  and  had 
a  large  part  in  the  transition  of  stereotyping  from  foot  operated 
machines  to  the  present  efficient  electrically  operated  machines.  In 
the  report  of  two  years  ago  it  was  announced  that  Edward  J.  Wat- 
erhouse  would  begin  to  assume  management  of  the  Howe  Mem- 
orial Press.  During  this  year  he  has  been  in  charge  of  the  Appli- 
ance Department,  which,  as  announced  in  the  report  of  last  year, 
was  moved  from  South  Boston  to  new  facilities  in  Watertown.  The 
stereotyping  and  printing  operations  of  the  Howe  Press  have  con- 
tinued at  South  Boston  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Bryan,  and  more 
pages  were  embossed  and  m.ore  printing  done  than  in  any  previous 
year.  During  the  year  812,261  pages  of  embossed  literature  were 
printed.  This  included  nineteen  books  in  sixty  volumes  for  the  Li- 
brary of  Congress,  and  the  textbooks  and  music  for  Perkins  and 
other  schools.  "The  Lantern"  and  other  periodicals  were  also 
embossed  in  Braille  by  the  Howe  Press. 

The  chief  activity  of  the  Howe  Press  during  this  year  has  been 
the  preparation  for  the  production  of  the  Perkins  Brailler,  the 
newly  developed  writing  device  which  has  been  received  with  great 
favor,  and  which  is  awaited  by  many  Braille  writers.  This  Brailler 
has,  as  was  explained  in  the  report  of  last  year,  many  new  features 
never  before  incorporated  in  a  machine  for  embossed  writing.  In 
the  tooling  and  the  preparing  for  the  production,  Perkins  has  been 
joined  by  the  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind,  which  has  agreed 
to  substitute  this  new  Brailler  for  the  writer  which  it  formerly 
produced.    Tooling  has  been  unexpectedly  difficult  and  the  securing 

39 


of  materials  has  been  a  factor  in  delaying  the  progress.  It  was 
expected  that  at  the  end  of  this  year  Braille  writers  would  be  m 
production,  but  now  it  looks  as  if  they  would  not  be  ready  until  the 
close  of  the  coming  year.  Mr.  Waterhouse  had  the  Braille  writer  on 
exhibition  at  the  convention  of  the  American  Association  of  Work- 
ers for  the  Blind  in  St.  Paul,  Minnesota  in  July,  and  at  several 
conferences  of  home  teachers.  Wherever  it  has  been  demonstrated, 
it  has  been  received  with  loud  acclaim,  and  when  it  is  finally  pro- 
duced it  will  be  with  the  hope  that  Perkins  has  made  a  great  con- 
tribution in  this  device.  ^ 

One  of  the  most  interesting  activities  of  the  Howe  Memorial 
Press  is  the  publishing  of  what  is  known  as  the  BraUle  Map- 
of-the-Month,  initiated  in  December  1937  by  Mr.  Waterhouse. 
A  map  issued  in  May  was  the  one  hundredth  map  produced  in  the 
series  and  to  mark  that  event  the  Howe  Press  offered  a  prize  for 
the  best  essay,  open  to  all  blind  high  school  pupils,  on  the  subject 
-What  the  Braille  Map-of-the-Month  teaches  me."  This  prize  was 
won  by  Jon  van  Demark  of  the  eighth  grade  Braille  class  in  the 
Sheridan  High  School  in  Minneapolis.  The  May  Map-of-the-Month 
embossed  with  dots  and  lines  depicted  the  countries  of  western 
Europe  and  the  accompanying  text  told  of  the  Marshall  Plan. 
These  maps  have  been  increasingly  welcomed  as  the  years  go  on, 
and  the  circulation  now  totals  560  maps  a  month  sent  to  eighteen 
countries. 

Extending  The  Horizon 
The  Harvard  Class  continued  its  usual  courses  sponsored  by 
the  Graduate  School  of  Education  of  Harvard  University  and  con- 
ducted at  Perkins.  While  the  class  was  smaller  than  it  was  m  pre- 
war years,  it  showed  the  very  wide  representation  in  its  member- 
ship which  is  growingly  characteristic  of  this  group.  Of  the  eight 
members,  one-half  came  from  foreign  countries:  Puerto  Rico, 
Greece,  Haiti  and  British  Guiana.  Of  the  other  four  members 
three  were  young  women  from  Scripps  College,  California,  West- 
minster College,  Pennsylvania  and  the  Yale  School  of  Music.  The 
fourth  member  was  a  teacher  in  a  sight-saving  class  m  the  Fall 
River  Schools,  who  came  up  each  week-end  for  the  lectures.  A 
voung  man  employed  in  the  Veterans  Administration  Office  m 
Boston  joined  the  class  for  the  second  half  year.  The  usual  course 
of  lectures,  demonstrations  and  observations  of  work  were  carried 

40 


APTITUDE  TESTING  BEFORE  GRADUATION 


THE    HARVARD    CLASS    HAS    MEMBERS    FROM    SOUTH    DAKOTA, 
MASSACHUSETTS,  NEW  YORK,  CHINA,  NICARAGUA,  EGYPT 


out  chiefly  under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Hayes,  with  the  Director 
giving  a  number  of  lectures,  and  Dr.  Allen,  Director  Emeritus, 
giving  his  usual  series  of  historical  talks.  Although  in  his  eighty- 
sixth  year.  Dr.  Allen,  who  founded  the  course  twenty-eight  years 
ago,  still  lectures  with  vigor  and  conviction. 

While  the  Harvard  Class  is  one  of  the  chief  mediums  of  ex- 
tending the  horizons  of  those  who  live  at  Perkins,  we  are  also 
fortunate  in  having  many  visitors  from  different  countries.  This 
year  has  brought  visitors  from  Africa,  Australia,  China,  Eygpt, 
England,  Greece,  Palestine,  Peru  and  Sweden.  Some  come  only 
for  a  day  while  others  stay  longer.  A  few  of  them  speak  to  the 
school.  During  the  spring  our  pupils  had  the  advantage  of  having 
mesages  from  Dr.  Emma  Zaludok,  Head  of  the  School  for  the  Blind 
in  Jerusalem  on  April  7;  from  Victor  Raul  Haya  de  la  Torre,  one 
of  the  great  leaders  of  Peru,  who  addressed  the  school  on  April  28 ; 
from  Bishop  Haworth  of  China,  who  was  passing  through  this 
country  on  his  way  to  England  with  a  group  of  Chinese  leaders  on 
May  7;  from  Mr.  S.  W.  Hedger,  head  of  the  work  for  the  blind  in 
Melbourne,  Australia,  who  spent  several  days  at  Perkins,  and  spoke 
to  the  pupils  on  May  31.  Mrs.  Putman,  who  receives  visitors  and 
shows  them  about  the  school,  reports  that  during  the  year  there 
have  been  over  800  visitors,  including  persons  from  fourteen  for- 
eign countries,  eleven  hospitals,  eighteen  colleges  and  schools,  and 
that  thirty-four  clubs  have  sent  groups  to  visit  the  school. 

Losses  Through  Death 

Death  has  taken  a  heavy  toll  among  our  people  this  year,  al- 
though fortunately  there  were  none  among  our  pupils  or  active 
staff  members.  One  of  our  former  staff  members,  Elwyn  H. 
Fowler,  passed  away  on  July  29.  Mr.  Fowler  was  graduated  from. 
Perkins  in  1889.  In  1911  he  became  head  of  the  Pianoforte  Tuning 
Department  and  retired  in  1945.  While  Mr,  Fowler  did  a  fine  work 
in  training  young  men,  perhaps  his  greatest  contribution  to  the 
cause  of  the  blind,  was  his  active  participation  in  the  "battle  of 
the  types"  which  waged  for  nearly  a  century  in  the  effoi't  to  secure 
uniform  type.  Mr.  Fowler  played  a  leading  part  in  the  victory 
in  1932,  while  his  late  wife  also  made  a  notable  contribution  as 
secretary  of  the  committee. 

Another  early  graduate  who  passed  away  this  year  was  Mrs. 
Mabel  Brown  Spencer  who  died  on  February  12  in  the  Memorial 

41 


Home,  Worcester,  founded  by  the  late  Mrs.  Fowler.  Mrs.  Spencer 
entered  Perkins  in  1875,  one  year  before  the  death  of  Dr.  Howe  and 
left  certified  as  a  teacher  of  music  in  1883.  She  was  the  next  to 
the  last  surviving  pupil  who  knew  the  first  Director.  Death  of 
another  former  student  was  that  of  Professor  Charles  H.  Amadon, 
who  passed  away  in  York,  Nebraska  on  June  6.  Professor  Amadon 
was  graduated  from  Perkins  in  1900  and  from  the  New  England 
Conservatory  of  Music  in  1906.  For  thirty-four  years  he  had  been 
the  successful  and  beloved  Dean  of  the  Conservatory  of  Music  at 
York  College.  Many  tributes  were  paid  to  him  by  members  of  the 
college  community,  and  the  recreation  room  in  a  new  dormitory 
under  construction  is  being  named  in  his  memory. 

Death  deprived  Perkins  of  an  active  worker  through  the  death 
on  May  16  of  Mrs.  Mabel  Knowles  Gage  of  Worcester.  Mrs.  Gage 
had  been  a  most  devoted  Trustee  of  Perkins  since  1933,  a  bene- 
factor and  officer  of  the  National  Braille  Press,  and  one  of  the  early 
Trustees  of  the  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind.  Through- 
out her  life,  Mrs.  Gage  took  a  personal  and  beneficent  interest  in 
the  blind,  and  was  always  generous  in  good  works  on  their  behalf. 
Another  death  which  must  be  reported,  was  that  of  Mrs.  Maude 
Howe  Elliott  on  March  19.  Living  to  the  age  of  ninety-three,  one 
can  only  rejoice  over  her  long  and  rich  life.  Mrs.  Elliott  was  the 
last  surviving  daughter  of  the  first  Director.  Samuel  Gridley  Howe 
and  his  wife,  Julia  Ward  Howe.  Her  death  breaks  the  last  tie  with 
the  original  generation  of  the  founders  of  Perkins.  Throughout 
her  life,  Mrs.  Elliott  retained  a  close  relationship  with  our  school. 
Until  advancing  years  made  it  impossible,  she  came  year  after  year 
from  her  home  in  Newport  to  the  Howe  Memorial  Exercises  held 
annually  at  the  school.  Mrs.  Elliott  always  referred  to  herself  as 
a  true  child  of  Perkins,  as  she  was  born  within  the  old  Institution 
in  South  Boston,  whereas  all  the  other  Howe  daughters  were  born 
outside  the  Institution. 

An  event  of  the  year  associated  with  the  first  Director  was  the 
observance  of  the  100th  anniversary  of  the  founding  of  the  Walter 
G.  Fernald  School,  now  located  in  Waverley,  which  adjoins  Water- 
town.  The  anniversary  exercises  were  part  of  the  Convention  of 
the  American  Society  for  Mental  Hygiene  and  the  Second  Inter- 
national Conference  on  Mental  Hygiene  which  was  being  held  in 
Boston.  Tribute  was  paid  at  the  exercises  to  Dr.  Samuel  Gridley 
Howe,  as  the  Fernald  School  looks  upon  him  as  its  Founder.    Not 

42 


long  after  Dr.  Howe  established  Perkins,  the  first  school  for  the 
blind,  and  had  achieved  great  success  in  the  education  of  Laura 
Bridgman,  he  turned  his  attention  to  other  unfortunate  children. 
Believing  that  more  effective  work  could  be  done  with  the  mentally 
retarded  or  "idiots,"  as  they  were  called  in  that  day,  he  gathered 
a  small  group  in  the  portion  of  Perkins  which  was  assigned  for 
the  Director's  residence,  and  began  exploring  new  methods  of  train- 
ing. In  1847,  the  legislature  recognized  the  work  being  done  by 
Dr.  Howe,  and  made  an  appropriation  for  the  building  of  a  separate 
structure  not  far  from  Perkins  as  the  home  for  his  new  venture. 
Some  time  later,  under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Fernald,  the  large 
and  beautiful  plant  in  Waverley  was  built,  and  in  recognition  of 
his  constructive  leadership  the  school  was  given  his  name.  There 
is  a  certain  irony  in  the  fact  that  the  two  schools  founded  by  Dr. 
Howe,  each  the  first  of  its  kind,  should  bear  the  names  of  other 
men.  Despite  this  fact,  it  can  truly  be  said  that  within  these 
schools,  and  quoting  the  words  of  the  famous  "Battle  Hymn" 
wr.'tten  by  his  distinguished  wife,  "His  soul  goes  marching  on." 

Activities  of  the  Director 

The  Director  has,  through  the  year,  continued  to  serve  on  the 
several  Boards  of  national  organizations  for  the  blind  on  which 
he  represents  Perkins.  One  group  in  which  there  has  been  a 
special  interest  this  year  is  the  American  Foundation  for  Overseas 
Blind,  of  which  he  is  a  director  and  member  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee. This  Foundation,  created  to  take  over  the  program  and 
activities  of  the  American  Braille  Press  for  War  and  Civilian 
Blind  in  France,  maintains  a  Paris  office  and  staff,  and  is  now  en- 
gaged in  an  extensive  program  of  assisting  organizations  for  the 
blind  throughout  Europe  to  reestablish  their  work.  The  Director 
was  asked  to  join  a  small  group  headed  by  Helen  Keller  to  visit 
organized  work  for  the  blind,  beginning  in  Japan  and  reaching 
through  the  Far  East,  the  Near  East  and  down  through  the  Med- 
iterranean. Because  of  the  demands  of  work  here,  it  was  not  pos- 
sible to  take  on  this  interesting  opportunity.  Perkins,  however, 
continues  to  carry  on  a  heavy  correspondence  with  workers  for  the 
blind  throughout  the  world,  and  in  many  cases  is  able  to  help  with 
supplies  and  with  counsel. 

Coming  back  to  local  affairs,  it  may  be  reported  that  the  Direc- 
tor has  acted  for  a  second  year  as  President  of  the  Massachusetts 

43 


Council  of  Organizations  for  the  Blind.     The  Council  has  had 
regular  quarterly  meetings  and  acts  as  a  clearing  house  for  the 
many  public  and  private  agencies  in  the  Commonwealth.      The 
Council  this  year  has  been  stressing  the  importance  of  rehabilita- 
tion work,  and  has  been  seeking  ways  to  help  the  State  Division 
of  the  Blind  to  enlarge  its  program  in  this  area.    Arthur  F.  Sulli- 
van, Perkins  '05,  has  been  for  five  years,  the  Director  of  the  Divi- 
sion of  the  Blind,  and  during  the  summer  was  appointed  by  the 
Governor  for  another  five-year  term.     The  Massachusetts  legisla- 
ture  in   May   passed   a  resolution,   introduced  by  Representative 
George  Green,  a  former  student  of  Perkins,  setting  up  a  Recess 
Commission  to  study  the  program  for  the  blind  in  this  state,  and 
to  make  recommendations  if  new  legislation  is  found  essential. 
Early  in  the  year,  the  Director  prepared  the  article  on  Blind- 
ness for  the  "Encyclopedia  of  Social  Work,"  and  later  he  wrote  the 
lead  article  for  the  June  issue  of  the  "Outlook  for  the  Blind"  which 
was  commemorating  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  the  founding 
of  the  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind.     This  article  was  on 
"The  Foundation  and  Education."     During  the  winter  he  wrote 
two  chapters  of  the  book,  "Blindness  in  the  Modern  World"  to 
be  published  by  the  National  Research  Council.     Quarterly,  "The 
Lantern"  has  been  edited  and  published  as  it  has  been  now  for 
seventeen  years.    The  more  recent  issues  are  an  improvement  over 
the  ones  during  the  war,  because  it  is  possible  to  get  a  better  grade 
of  paper.     The  response  to  "The  Lantern"  is  very  gratifying  to 
those  who  prepare  it.     Perkins'  former  students  and  many  other 
blind   people   appreciate  greatly,  according  to  their  reports,  the 
Braille  edition.     The  ink-print  edition,  which  goes  to  schools  and 
workers  for  the  blind  throughout  the  world,  and  to  many  other  in- 
terested people,  also  brings  a  response  for  which  we  are  most  grate- 
ful.   An  interesting  aspect  of  the  appreciation  of  "The  Lantern" 
has  been  the  portions  of  it  which  are  re-printed  in  publications 
in  our  field  both  in  this  country  and  abroad.    Mrs.  G.  Pisart,  a 
worker  in  The  Lighthouse  in  New  York  City,  while  traveling  in 
France  wrote,  "I  saw  a  copy  of  'The  Lantern'  at  the  school  in 
Bordeaux.    'What  a  thrill  it  gave  me!'  " 

In  October,  the  Director  and  Dr.  Samuel  P.  Hayes,  Head  of 
the  Department  of  Research  and  Personnel,  attended  a  three-day 
conference  on  Vocational  Guidance  for  the  Blind,  called  by  the 

44 


United  States  Office  of  Vocational  Rehabilitation,  and  conducted 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  by  the  Department  of  Social  Adjust- 
ment. At  this  conference,  papers  on  many  aspects  of  the  rehabili- 
tation and  adjustment  of  the  blind  were  presented,  and  will  be  pub- 
lished later.  Dr.  Hayes  presented  a  valuable  paper  on  Intelligence 
and  Aptitude  Testing,  and  the  Director  read  a  paper  on  "Commun- 
ity and  Family  Problems."  Dr.  Hayes'  paper  has  been  enlarged  to  be 
a  chapter  in  the  forth-coming  book,  "Blindness  in  the  Modern 
World." 

Perkins  was  well  represented  at  the  convention  of  the  Amer- 
ican Association  of  Instructors  of  the  Blind  held  in  Austin,  Texas, 
June  21  to  25,  1948.  Thirteen  staff  members  made  the  journey  to 
Texas,  and  a  review  of  the  program  shows  that  eleven  Perkins  peo- 
ple had  papers  or  reports.  At  the  convention,  Mr.  Francis  M. 
Andrews  was  elected  President.  Now  Superintendent  of  the  Mary- 
land School  for  the  Blind,  he  was  for  seventeen  years  Principal  of 
Perkins. 

Preparing  the  Annual  Report  is  in  itself  a  writing  job  involv- 
ing some  research  and  providing  opportunity  for  building  up  good 
public  relations.  While  we  must  be  factual,  we  want  to  tell  the 
story  of  the  year's  happenings  in  a  way  that  will  command  interest 
and  reward  readers  for  the  time  spent.  Some  years  there  are 
notable  events  or  even  dire  incidents  which  give  color,  but  for  the 
most  part  it  is  the  same  old  story.  But  that  is  life,  and  perhaps 
should  be  the  record  of  a  school  stabilized  and  moving  onward  for 
one  hundred  and  eighteen  years.  Our  greatest  satisfaction  in  ful- 
filling this  writing  task  is  that  apparently  many  people  read  the 
report,  and  some  even  take  the  time  to  write  and  tell  us  so.

Each  pupil  had  a  physical  examination,  urinalysis,  hemoglobin, 
blood  pressure,  examination  for  and  removal  of  wax  from  the  ears, 
and  height  and  weight  measurements  every  three  months. 

Widals  were  done  on  all  food  handlers  not  having  had  the 
test  previously  at  Perkins  Institution. 

This  year  we  immunized  every  student  in  the  Lower  School 
against  diphtheria,  pertussis,  and  tetanus.  All  new  pupils  who 
had  not  been  vaccinated  were  immunized  against  small  pox. 

Wassermann  tests  were  done  on  all  new  pupils. 

Sixty-five  visits  were  made  to  the  Massachusetts  General 
Hospital  to  the  various  specialized  medical  and  surgical  clinics 
there. 


47 


Three  hospital  admissions  have  been  arranged  for  during  the 
summer,  two  for  surgery  and  one  for  neurological  study. 

The  children  are  to  be  congratulated  on  their  good  health  this 
year.  There  was  very  little  contagion,  and  most  of  the  days  lost 
from  school  were  due  to  the  143  upper  respiratory  infections  and 
60  gastro-intestinal  disturbances  suffered  during  the  year.

PHYSICAL  THERAPY  DEPARTMENT 

The  Physical  Therapy  Department  has  striven  to  meet  the 
orthopedic  needs  of  the  students  through  special  mechanotherapy 
treatments,  infra-red  treatments,  and  massages.  Weekly  ultra- 
violet treatments  have  helped  improve  and  maintain  the  general 
health  of  the  students. 

48 


This  year,  with  the  cooperation  of  the  Physical  Education 
teachers  of  the  Lower  School  and  Boys'  Upper  School,  we  started 
a  general  posture  training  program  with  the  Glover  girls  and  the 
Potter  boys. 

This  summer  George  Shola  is  to  have  an  operation  which  is 
expected  to  give  him  full  range  of  motion  of  his  left  elbow. 

Dorothy  DeAngelis  is  to  go  to  the  Massachusetts  General 
Hospital  this  summer  for  a  new  knee  caliper  brace  for  her  right  leg. 

In  December  Dr.  Ober  examined  all  the  new  students,  and  in 
March  he  examined  those  who  had  been  having  special  corrective 
work  during  the  year.

WORKSHOP  FOR  ADULTS 

THE  RESULTS  of  the  year's  operations  were  disappointing  in 
that  fewer  mattresses  were  received  with  a  consequent  loss 
in  sales,  and  the  regular  wage  adjustments  given  to  offset  increases 
in  the  cost  of  living  made  the  loss  for  the  year  $6,344.06.  The 
manager  was  away  a  good  portion  of  the  year  due  to  illness,  but  all 
our  workers  are  to  be  commended  for  the  admirable  way  in  which 
they  carried  on.  Our  new  manager,  Mr.  Fred  G.  Marsh,  will  soon 
take  command,  and  we  hope  for  him  every  success  in  our  depart- 
ment. 

The  operations  in  the  Howe  Press  exceeded  our  expectations, 
as  more  pages  were  embossed  and  more  printing  done  than  in  any 
previous  year.  Mr.  Waterhouse,  manager  of  the  Howe  Press, 
writes:  "The  Appliance  Department  in  Watertown  expanded  its 
facilities,  and  in  addition  to  manufacturing  the  usual  devices  and 
games,  devoted  much  time  to  tooling  for  the  Perkins  Brailler  and 
manufacturing  some  of  its  parts.  Production  schedule  is  far  be- 
hind expectations  but  it  is  expected  that  the  first  of  the  2,000 
machines  being  built  v/ill  be  assembled  late  this  year." 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  work  done  and  wages  paid 
in  the  Workshop  Department  during  the  fiscal  years  1947  and  1948: 

Mattresses  rscsived  from  institutions,  etc.  2.413  2,493

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  as  at  August  31,  1948  of 
Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind  (not  includ- 
ing Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund)  and  the  related  statements  of  Reserve 
Fund  for  Depreciation,  of  income  and  expenses  and  of  income  and 
expenses  of  the  Works  Department,  all  for  the  year  ended  August  31^ 
1948.  We  have  also  examined  the  balance  sheet  as  at  August  31,  1948 
of  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  and  the  related  statement  of  income 
and  expenses  for  the  year  then  ended.  In  connection  therewith  we 
reviewed  the  accounting  procedures  of  the  Institution  and  the  Howe 
Memorial  Press  Fund  and,  without  making  a  detailed  audit  of  the 
transactions,  have  examined  or  tested  accounting  records  and  other 
supporting  evidence  by  methods  and  to  the  extent  we  deemed  appropriate. 

We  received  confirmation  from  depositaries  with  respect  to  the 
investment  securities  recorded  as  owned  by  the  Institution  and  by  the 
Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  as  at  August  31,  1948,  audited  all  changes 
in  investments  during  the  year  then  ended  and  satisfied  ourselves  that 
investment  income  receivable  during  the  year  was  duly  received. 

During  the  year  ended  August  31,  1947  the  Trustees  passed  the 
following  votes: 

(1)  To  record  on  the  books  of  the  Institution  a  new  account 
called  the  Securities  Income  Reserve  Fund.  This  account  is  to  be  used 
to  accumulate  from  September  1,  1947  the  excess  of  income  received 
from  investments  over  income  allocated  each  year  to  the  various  funds. 
During  the  fiscal  year  ended  August  31,  1948  such  excess  amounted  to 
$15,812.87. 

(2)  To  record  on  the  books  of  the  Institution  the  new  account 
called  the  Undistributed  Profit  on  Investments  Sold.  This  account  is 
to  be  used  to  accumulate  from  September  1,  1947  the  profits  or  losses 
realized  on  sale  of  any  of  the  Institution's  investments.  During  the 
fiscal  year  ended  August  31,  1948  a  profit  of  $190,882.89  was  realized 
on  investments  sold,  which  profit  was  credited  to  this  amount. 

(3)  To  consolidate  the  operating  accounts  of  the  Institution  and 
Kindergarten  Departments.  This  change  is  reflected  in  the  attached 
statement  of  income  and  expenses    (Exhibit  C). 

As  at  August  31,  1948  the  Trustees  voted  to  charge  the  deficit  for 
the  year  then  ended  against  the  Reserve  Fund  for  Depreciation  as 
shown  in  Exhibit  B. 

In  our  opinion  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present 
fairly,  on  the  basis  indicated  above,  the  position  of  the  Institution  and 
of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  at  August  31,  1948  and  the  results- 
of  their  operations  for  the  fiscal  year  then  ended.

PERKINS  INSTITUTION 

HISTORY 

IN  1826  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher  returned  to  Boston  from  Paris  resolved  to  provide  for 
the  blind  of  Massachusetts  the  same  care  afforded  them  in  France.  Enlisting 
the  aid  of  friends,  a  committee  was  formed  and  upon  petition  to  the  Legislature 
an  Act  of  Incorporation  was  granted  on  March  2,  1829,  establishing  "The  New  England 
Asylum  for  the  Blind,"  the  first  school  in  America  for  those  without  sight.  In  1831 
Dr.  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  just  returned  from  participation  in  the  Greek  wars,  was 
elected  the  first  director,  and  in  August,  1832,  the  first  classes  were  held  in  the  house 
of  Dr.  Howe's  father  on   Pleasant  Street. 

During  the  early  years  Col.  Thomas  H.  Perkins  became  interested  in  the  little 
school  and  gave  for  its  use  his  large  house  on  Pearl  Street.  The  need  for  larger  quarters 
was  soon  apparent,  and  in  1839  the  great  hotel  in  South  Boston  was  purchased.  This 
purchase  was  made  possible  by  the  assent  of  Colonel  Perkins  to  the  sale  of  the  house 
that  he  had  given  to  the  School.  Because  of  this  magnanimous  attitude  of  Colonel 
Perkins  the  Trustees  renamed  the  school  "Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts 
Asylum  for  the  Blind."  This  name  was  changed  in  1877  to  the  present  name,  "Perkins 
Institution  and   Massachusetts   School  for  the   Blind." 

Dr.  Howe  directed  the  growing  work  of  Perkins  Institution  for  forty  years  and 
was  succeeded  in  1876  by  his  Greek  protege  and  son-in-law,  Michael  Anagnos.  Mr. 
Anagnos  created  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  for  publishing  embossed  books  and  for 
the  manufacture  of  appliances  for  education  of  the  blind.  In  1887  he  founded  the 
Kindergarten  in  Jamaica  Plain,  the  first  school  in  the  world  for  little  blind  children. 
After  thirty  years  of  leadership  Mr.   Anagnos  died  in  Rumania  in  1906. 

In  1907  the  directorship  of  Perkins  Institution  fell  to  Edward  E.  Allen,  head  of 
the  school  for  the  blind  in  Philadelphia,  where  he  had  just  rebuilt  the  school  plant 
on  a  garden  site  outside  of  the  city.  Coming  to  Boston,  Mr.  Allen  began  plans  for 
a  new  Perkins,  and  in  1912  the  Institution  and  in  1913  the  Kindergarten  were  housed 
in  the  beautiful  new  plant  at  Watertown.  These  buildings,  situated  on  an  old  estate 
of  thirty-four  acres  on  the  banks  of  the  Charles  River,  have  school  and  residence 
facilities  for  nearly  three  hundred  pupils.  Dr.  Allen  retired  in  1931.  His  last  official 
act  was  to  write  the  one  hundredth  annual  report.  Thus  for  a  century  Perkins  Institu- 
tion had  but  three  directors. 

PURPOSE 

Perkins  Institution  provides  for  the  visually  handicapped  youth  of  New  England 
full  educational  opportunity  from  Kindergarten  through  High  School.  The  content 
of  instruction  corresponds  with  that  offered  to  seeing  boys  and  girls  in  the  public 
schools.  The  methods  of  instruction  of  necessity  differ.  Principal  differences  are 
that  embossed  books  take  the  place  of  ink  print,  and  studies  are  taught  objectively. 
In  the  adaptation  and  invention  of  means  of  instructing  the  blind,  Perkins  has  been 
a  pioneer  through  its  century  of  existence.  Much  attention  is  paid  to  physical  and 
manual  training  and  to  music.  Opportunity  is  provided  for  those  qualified  to  pursue 
higher  studies  or  take  advanced  work  in  music  and  vocational  fields. 

Boys  and  girls  without  sight  or  with  insuflicient  sight  to  read  ink-print  are  ad- 
mitted as  pupils,  if  capable  of  education  and  in  good  health.  While  at  the  school  pupils 
reside  in  cottages  where  the  teachers  also  live,  and  through  this  association  they  acquire 
that  unconscious  tuition  which  is  such  an  important  part  of  the  program  of  socializa- 
tion. The  primary  aim  of  Perkins  Institution  is  to  qualify  its  visually  handicapped 
pupils  to  take  contributory  places  in  normal  life.  New  pupils  are  admitted  in  September 
and  February,  and  all  pupils  must  return  to  their  homes  for  the  short  vacations  at 
Christmas  and  Easter  and  for  the  long  vacation  in  the  summer.

SYNOPSIS  OF  THE  PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  ANNUAL 
MEETING  OF  THE  CORPORATION 

Watertown,  Massachusetts 
November  7,  1949 

THE  ANNUAL  MEETING  of  the  Corporation,  duly  summoned, 
was  held  today  at  the  Institution,  and  was  called  to  order  by 
the  President,  Dr.  Reginald  Fitz,  at  3.00  P.  M. 

The  proceedings  of  the  last  meeting  were  read  and  approved. 

The  annual  reports  of  the  Trustees  and  the  Director  were 
accepted  and  ordered  to  be  printed,  with  the  addition  of  other 
matters  of  general  interest  to  the  work. 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  was  presented,  accepted  and  ordered 
to  be  printed  together  with  the  certificate  of  the  Certified  Public 
Accountant. 

It  was  then 

VOTED:  That  acts  and  expenditures,  made  and  authorized  by 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  or  by  any  committee  appointed 
by  said  Board  of  Trustees,  during  the  last  corporate 
year,  be  and  are  hereby  ratified  and  confirmed. 

It  was  further 

VOTED:  That  the  nomination  of  the  Finance  Committee  and 
the  appointment  by  the  Trustees  of  Barrow,  Wade, 
Guthrie  &  Company,  Certified  Public  Accountants  as 
Auditors  of  the  Accounts  of  the  Institution  be  and 
are  hereby  ratified  and  confirmed. 

The  Corporation  then  proceeded  to  the  choice  of  officers  for  the 
ensuing  year,  and  the  following  persons  were  unanimously  elected 
by  ballot:  President,  Reginald  Fitz,  M.D.;  Vice-President,  Ralph 
Lowell;  Treasurer,  John  P.  Chase;  Secretary,  Gabriel  Farrell;  Trus- 
tees, David  Cheever,  Jr.,  Mrs.  Richard  E.  Danielson,  Reginald  Fitz, 
M.D.,  Robert  H.  Hallowell,  Henry  W.  Holmes,  LL.D.,  Warren  Motley, 
Richard  Saltonstall,  and  Miss  Rosanna  D.  Thorndike. 

A  letter  of  resignation  was  received  from  Mr.  Robert  Amory, 
and  on  motion  duly  made,  it  was  accepted  with  great  regret.  The 
name  of  Mr.  George  L.  Pew  of  Portland,  Maine  was  proposed  for 
membership,  and  he  was  duly  elected. 

The  meeting  was  held  in  the  girls'  study  hall,  which  provided 
opportunity  for  members  of  the  Corporation  to  see  the  new  addi- 
tions to  the  plant  which  were  not  completed  when  they  met  a  year 

13 


ago.  New  services  provided  by  the  larger  library  facilities  were 
described,  and  included  a  demonstration  of  recording  books  on  discs 
for  the  use  of  college  students,  by  the  librarian.  Mr.  Waterhouse 
of  the  Howe  Press  demonstrated  the  new  Braille  Writer  which  has 
been  developed  at  Perkins  and  now  is  in  production  with  distribution 
expected  by  April  1.  This  writer  has  features  which  makes  it  the 
most  outstanding  device  of  this  type  that  has  ever  been  developed. 

The  members  of  the  Corporation  were  invited  to  see  the  exhibit 
of  all  forms  of  embossed  type  which  had  been  set  up  by  the  library. 
This  material  came  from  our  Blindiana  Library  which  is  the  greatest 
of  its  kind  in  the  world,  and  which  contains  much  valuable  material. 
Exhibited  also  were  the  first  four  books  of  the  library— those  brought 
from  Europe  by  Dr.  Howe  prior  to  the  opening  of  the  school. 

At  the  close  of  the  meeting  the  members  were  invited  to  the 
staff  lounge  where  tea  would  be  served. 

There  being  no  further  business  the  meeting  was  adjourned. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Gabriel  Farrell,  Secretary.

REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES 

November  7,  1949 

THE  FOLLOWING  REPORT  for  the  year  1949  is  submitted  on 
behalf  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

During  the  past  year  the  Corporation  has  lost  five  members  by 
death:  Mrs.  Larz  Anderson,  Miss  Lucy  Lowell,  Messrs.  Edward 
Motley,  John  C,  Rice  and  G.  Fred  Robinson.  Each  was  sincerely 
interested  in  the  work  of  the  Institution  and  helped  its  progress; 
their  loss  is  keenly  felt. 

The  Treasurer's  report,  as  usual,  deserves  careful  study.  Our 
financial  plight  is  no  different  than  that  of  other  schools  such  as 
ours.  Our  figures  reveal  that  our  present  tuition  fees  pay  con- 
siderably less  than  half  our  costs.  A  few  years  ago,  as  our  expenses 
began  to  soar,  our  tuition  fees  were  increased  as  one  means  of 
offsetting  this;  it  may  be  that  another  increase  in  tuition  fees 
should  soon  again  be  effected. 

Our  costs  of  operation  have  risen  steadily  for  the  past  several 
years  and  faster  than  our  income  has  increased  through  the  addi- 
tion of  new  funds.  The  budget  for  the  next  year  is  planned  to  use 
almost  every  penny  of  our  anticipated  income;  this  fact  gives  the 
Trustees  grave  concern.  Our  high  standards  of  education  must  be 
maintained,  and  our  pupils  must  continue  to  receive  the  best 
possible  care.  On  the  other  hand,  all  non-essential  expenditures 
will  have  to  be  curtailed  and  all  reasonable  economies  must  be 
practiced. 

Misfortunes  seldom  come  alone.  Another  economic  problem 
with  which  the  institution  soon  must  cope  lies  in  the  ill-health  of 
certain  of  our  buildings.  In  general,  the  plant  has  always  been 
maintained  in  good  physical  trim  even  in  spite  of  the  vicissitudes  of 
the  war  when  all  possible  repairs  of  any  magnitude  were  postponed. 
Now  certain  areas  are  urgently  in  need  of  renovation.  A  well- 
known  firm  of  construction  engineers  has  been  engaged  to  survey 
the  Institution  and  to  recommend  a  rehabilitation  program  which 
can  be  carried  out  over  a  long-term  period.  It  is  safe  to  predict  that 
such  a  program  will  be  costly;  to  face  it,  accurate  planning  and 
precise  analysis  of  expenses  will  be  required. 

All  this  means  that  new  capital  gifts  to  Perkins  continue  to  be 
needed  as  badly  as  ever.  An  institution  such  as  ours,  and  accom- 
plishing so  much,  is  necessarily  expensive  to  operate;  the  costs  in 
every  department  inevitably  reflect  the  increased  costs  of  living. 

The  pleasanter  side  of  last  year's  progress  is  well  illustrated 
in  the  Director's  report.  Our  teaching  and  academic  work  have 
continued  at  their  usually  high  levels.  The  School  has  been  well 
filled  with  pupils.    Their  health  has  been  good  except  for  occasional 

15 


and  insignificant  outbreaks  of  minor  illness.  To  judge  their 
spirit,  one  has  only  to  review  the  striking  achievements  of  our 
athletes,  to  think  of  the  dash  with  which  our  actors  and  actresses 
produced  Gilbert  and  Sullivan's  Patience,  or  to  recall  the  in- 
fectious enthusiasm  at  Commencement  when  we  were  addressed  by 
one  of  our  own  and  very  distinguished  alumni,  the  Honorable 
William  E.  Powers,  Perkins  1932,  and  now  Attorney  General  of 
Rhode  Island.  .  „     .. 

Another  satisfactory  feature  of  the  record  is  the  realization 
that  the  Staff  of  Perkins  continues  to  play  a  leading  role  in  further- 
ing improvements  in  the  care  of  all  young  people,  the  world  over, 
who  are  handicapped  by  visual  difficulties.  The  Director's  calendar, 
alone,  demonstrates  this.  During  the  year,  among  other  engage- 
ments he  lectured  at  Columbia  University  on  education  of  the  blind; 
he  spoke  at  the  National  Society  of  Rehabilitation  at  the  University 
of  Wisconsin;  he  presided  at  a  meeting  in  the  Library  of  Congress 
called  to  discuss  new  methods  of  embossing  Braille;  he  read  a  paper 
"Vocational  Education  of  the  Blind  in  the  United  States"  at  the 
Second  International  Congress  on  the  Education  of  Maladjusted 
Children  at  Amsterdam  in  Holland;  and  he  gave  the  major  address 
at  the  centennial  celebration  of  the  School  for  the  Blind  in  Jackson- 
ville, Illinois.  That  Perkins  Institution  continues  to  be  regarded 
nationally,  and  even  internationally,  as  one  of  the  world's  leading 
centers  for  education  of  the  blind  is  gratifying.  It  means  that  the 
ideals  on  which  the  institution  was  founded  are  being  upheld  and 
that  the  School  continues  to  be  pre-eminent  in  its  field. 

Respectfully  submitted  for  the  Trustees, 

Reginald  Fitz,  M.D.,  President.

THE  NEW  STUDY  HALL  FOR  GIRLS 


THE  BOYS  STUDY  HALL  FROM  OUTSIDE 


REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 

November  7,  1949 

HTHE  report  for  the  year  closing  August  31,  1949,  will 
-*■  be  presented  this  year  in  three  sections.  First,  there  will  be 
comments  on  affairs  within  the  school  and  the  annual  review  of 
events  of  interest.  The  second  part  will  be  a  portion  of  an  address 
made  by  the  Director  at  the  Centennial  Celebration  of  the  Illinois 
School  for  the  Blind  on  June  2,  1949.  Here  are  set  forth  some  of 
the  problems  confronting  educators  of  the  blind  and  their  presenta- 
tion in  this  form  takes  the  place  of  the  commentary  made  on  events 
beyond  Perkins  found  in  previous  Annual  Reports.  Third,  there 
will  be  a  report  on  an  International  Conference  of  Workers  for  the 
Blind  from  seventeen  countries,  held  at  Merton  College,  Oxford, 
England  from  August  3  to  13,  1949. 


Outstanding  this  year  have  been  the  new  conditions  created 
by  the  library  changes  outlined  in  the  report  of  a  year  ago.  The 
most  observable  change  came  through  the  opening  after  the  Christ- 
mas holidays  of  the  two  study  halls.  Readers  of  last  year's  report 
will  recall  that  these  were  erected  on  two  terraces,  one  paralleling 
the  river  side  of  the  library,  for  the  boys,  and  the  other,  adjacent 
to  Dwight  Hall,  for  the  girls.  The  new  study  halls  provide  facilities 
which  we  have  never  had  before — home  rooms  for  all  Upper  School 
pupils  apart  from  class  rooms.  To  these  new  halls  the  boys  and 
girls  go  in  free  hours  between  classes  and  for  their  scheduled  study 
periods  at  the  first  part  of  the  morning  and  in  the  evening.  Both 
pupils  and  teachers  have  found  an  unanticipated  gain  in  the  quiet 
and  freedom  which  now  prevail  in  the  classrooms  during  school 
hours.  The  halls  have  also  facilitated  supervision,  as  one  teacher 
may  be  in  charge  of  each  hall,  whereas  more  were  required  when 
the  pupils  were  scattered  over  the  two  floors  and  the  several  class 
rooms  of  the  school  building. 

At  the  opening  of  the  school  year  in  September  the  enlarged 
space  facilities  within  the  library  were  completed.  During  the 
year  the  necessary  adjustments  were  worked  out.  The  construction 
of  the  new  balcony  in  the  rear  third  of  the  library  gave  space  for 

17 


the  shelving  of  more  than  25,000  volumes  of  embossed  and  recorded 
books.  This  should  meet  our  needs  for  many  years  under  the 
present  program,  and  the  probable  recording  of  books  in  smaller 
mediums  than  the  present  discs  gives  promise  that  adequate  book 
space  is  now  available  for  an  indefinite  time. 

Along  with  the  new  facilities  of  the  library,  there  has  come 
this  year,  an  increased  demand  for  books  both  from  within  the 
school  and  from  outside.  Perkins  library,  as  our  readers  may 
recall,  serves,  in  addition  to  the  school,  the  adult  blind  of  New 
England,  as  one  of  the  twenty-six  regional  libraries  distributing 
books  provided  by  the  Library  of  Congress  under  a  federal  grant. 
During  the  past  year,  circulation  totaled  39,071  volumes,  of  which 
29,529  were  outside  the  school.  The  latter  figure  divides  into 
21,562  recorded  books  and  7,967  embossed  books.  This  represents 
an  increase  of  4,343  volumes  over  the  previous  year.  During  the 
month  of  August  the  circulation  was  more  than  twice  as  large  as 
a  year  ago. 

While  these  statistics  show  an  advance  over  last  year,  com- 
parison of  them  with  previous  years  indicates  the  trend  in  reading 
by  the  blind.  Many  have  been  interested  in  the  effect  on  BraiUe 
reading  by  the  introduction  of  the  Talking  Book  in  1934.  The 
chart  printed  below  shows  more  clearly  than  words,  what  the 
situation  is. 


•TALKiNq     BOOK

The  interesting  fact  to  be  deduced  from  this  chart  is  that  the 
reading  of  Braille  has  now  reached  a  stable  level,  and  if  one  takes 
the  greater  circulation  of  Braille  magazines  into  consideration, 
there  probably  is  an  upswing.     The  introduction  of  the  Talking 


18 


Book  has  proved  to  be  a  new  and  added  source  of  education  and 
enjoyment  for  thousands  of  blind  people  who  would  not  have  read 

Braille. 

A  physical  inventory  of  all  books  on  our  several  miles  of 
shelving  reveals  that  the  library  now  possesses  20,221  volumes  of 
ink  print  in  the  Teachers'  and  Blindiana  libraries,  64,601  volumes 
of  embossed  books  and  7,344  recorded  books  in  the  main  library, 
or  a  total  of  92,166  volumes.  As  Braille  books  are  usually  in  several 
volumes,  the  number  of  titles  is  31,000.  The  total  number  of  readers 
served  last  year  was  1,740,  of  whom  300  were  new  during  the  year. 
An  analysis  of  circulation  in  relation  to  the  number  of  readers 
indicates  that  the  average  person  reads  about  ten  titles  a  year 
which  compares  favorably  with  the  national  average  of  fifteen 
books  a  year  read  by  sighted  people  for  whom  reading  is  much 
easier. 

Another  significant  change  in  the  library  during  the  year  has 
been  in  leadership.  On  December  31,  1948,  Mary  Esther  Sawyer, 
who  had  been  in  charge  of  the  library  for  twenty-five  years,  retired 
from  active  service.  Prior  to  becoming  librarian  she  was  director 
of  girls'  physical  education  for  ten  years.  Miss  Sawyer's  successor 
as  librarian  is  Nelson  Coon,  who  for  eighteen  years  has  been  super- 
intendent of  buildings  and  grounds.  For  the  past  ten  years  Mr. 
Coon  has  been  in  charge  of  Perkins'  unique  museum  of  historic 
and  objective  material  for  the  instruction  of  the  blind.  He  has 
organized  "Exhibits  of  the  Month"  which  have  attracted  nation- 
wide attention  and  has  written  many  articles  pertaining  to  tactual 
instruction.  Mr.  Coon  has  carried  into  the  library  many  of  these 
modern  methods  of  making  both  museums  and  libraries,  service 
centers  rather  than  depositories.  Already  a  stream  of  research 
workers  from  colleges  and  universities  are  availing  themselves  of 
the  resources  of  our  Blindiana  Library  which  are  unequaled  in 
the  world. 

One  of  Mr.  Coon's  first  objectives  was  the  reorganization  of 
the  material  in  the  Blindiana  Library,  and  in  doing  this  he  has 
been  ably  helped  by  Miss  Etheldred  Abbot,  an  expert  in  library 
organization,  who  gave  three  months  of  intensive  work  to  this 
project.  Now  all  of  the  material  in  that  library  has  been  recata- 
logued,  re-arranged  and  made  more  accessible  and  workable.  Miss 
Florence  J.  Worth,  long  at  the  circulation  desk,  has  also  completely 
re-organized  the  arrangement  and  classification  of  the  Braille  and 
Talking  Book  sections.     With  the  installing  of  an  Addressograph 

19 


and  a  new  filing  system,  all  orders  for  books  are  now  sent  out  on 
the  same  day  as  received.  To  assist  with  this  growing  service 
Mrs.  Annetta  R.  Castle,  a  trained  worker  from  the  Lynn  Public 
Library,  joined  the  staff  on  July  1,  1949. 

The  circulation  of  books  for  the  school  pupils  and  the  adult 
blind  is,  however,  but  a  part  of  the  many-sided  functions  of  a 
modem  library.  The  use  of  Talking  Book  recordings  by  the  pupils 
has  involved  the  installing  and  care  of  more  than  fifty  electronic 
players  in  the  classrooms  and  in  the  cottages.  Another  feature 
of  the  library  during  the  past  six  months  has  been  the  instituting 
of  a  definite  program  for  the  showing  of  movies  under  the  direction 
of  the  library.  These  movies,  largely  of  an  educational  nature, 
are  greatly  enjoyed  by  the  pupils,  giving  not  only  entertainment, 
but  also  a  sense  of  participation  in  activities  which  are  enjoyed 
by  the  sighted.  While  the  showing  of  movies  may  seem  strange 
in  a  school  for  the  blind,  it  must  be  remembered  that  nearly  fifty 
per  cent  of  our  pupils  have  enough  sight  to  see  the  pictures,  and 
for  those  whose  vision  is  too  dim,  the  talking  part  of  the  movie 
carries  the  story  which  is  often  interpreted  by  a  neighbor  who  can 
see  the  pictures. 

Academic  Activities 

If,  as  someone  has  said,  "The  library  is  the  heart  of  every 
center  of  learning,"  then  our  academic  instruction  ought  to  be 
affected  by  the  enlarged  facilities  of  our  library.  Academically 
the  past  year  has  been  one  of  good  progress.  Whether  this  has 
been  brought  about  by  the  added  facilities,  better  planning  of  the 
administration,  more  intense  contributions  on  the  part  of  the 
teachers,  or  even  more  earnest  efforts  by  the  pupils,  need  not  be 
pressed.  The  wide  range  of  instruction  offered,  and  the  opportu- 
nities to  learn  provided,  are  justified  by  the  response  which  has 
been  made  and  the  achievement  attained  by  our  pupils. 

While  the  instructional  program  of  Perkins  is  deeply  rooted 
and  firmly  established,  there  is  always  change  in  order  to  keep  up 
with  fresh  concepts  and  new  needs.  For  two  or  three  years,  a 
committee  under  the  leadership  of  Mr.  Sherman,  the  Principal,  has 
been  making  a  study  of  how  to  improve  the  curriculum.  The  past 
year  was  the  first  under  the  revised  course  of  study  worked  out 
by  the  committee.  While  Perkins  is  small  enough  to  have  individ- 
ually planned  programs  of  study  designed  to  meet  the  needs  of 
each  pupil,  there  are  certain  core  subjects  which  all  pupils  must 

20 


take.  These  cover  the  basic  tools  of  reading,  writing,  English, 
social  studies,  physical  education  and  practical  arts.  In  addition 
to  these  core  subjects  each  pupil  is  expected  to  elect  in  one  or  more 
special  fields,  courses  which  will  give  to  him  or  to  her  the  greatest 
opportunities  for  realizing  potential  abilities  and  in  securing  as 
many  salable  skills  as  possible.  The  first  steps  in  the  implementa- 
tion of  this  new  curriculum  have  been  taken  during  this  past  year. 
They  called  for  dividing  all  pupils  in  the  Upper  School  into  two 
groups  called  Division  A  and  Division  B.  Those  in  the  A  division 
are  planning  to  attend  college  and  must  meet  the  rigid  requirements 
demanded  for  admission,  while  those  in  the  B  group  have  larger 
latitude  and  their  programs  are  planned  to  meet  their  individual 
needs.  A  certain  amount  of  manual  work  is  required  of  all  pupils, 
but  those  in  the  B  group  give  more  time  in  this  area,  as  it  is  felt 
they  will  gain  more  by  this  type  of  training  than  by  too  much  con- 
centration on  academic  subjects.  The  next  step  in  this  development 
is  the  setting  up  of  project  activities  which  will  be  of  benefit  to 
those  who  cannot  meet  fully,  the  requirements  of  academic  high 
school  work.  The  objective  here  will  be  to  develop  skills  which 
will  be  of  value  after  school  years  and  on  a  level  at  which  these 
pupils  can  succeed.  An  outline  of  the  course  of  study  is  available 
in  multigraph  form  for  those  who  are  interested  in  more  details. 

Leadership  Changes 

In  the  academic  department,  as  in  the  library,  a  significant 
change  has  been  made  in  leadership.  Allan  W.  Sherman,  who  has 
been  Principal  of  Perkins  for  seven  years,  resigned  late  in  August, 
to  become  Director  of  the  Cleveland  Society  for  the  Blind.  His  fine 
work  and  friendly  spirit  will  be  greatly  missed  by  his  associates 
and  students,  but  all  wish  him  success  in  his  new  undertaking.  As 
Mr.  Sherman's  resignation  came  just  as  the  new  year  was  opening, 
it  was  decided  to  divide  his  duties  among  present  members  of  the 
staff.  Orin  A.  Stone,  for  four  years  a  teacher  at  Perkins,  and  for 
nine  years  prior  to  that,  Principal  of  the  Connecticut  School  for 
the  Blind,  will  be  in  charge  of  curriculum  planning,  supervision  of 
teachers,  and  generally  responsible  for  the  academic  program. 
Benjamin  F.  Smith,  for  twelve  years  a  teacher  at  Perkins,  will  be 
in  charge  of  pupil  relations  on  the  boys'  side,  with  his  duties  cor- 
responding to  those  carried  on  by  Dr.  Alice  M.  Carpenter  on  the 
girls'  side  as  dean  of  girls.  Miss  Shirley  A.  Drucker,  teacher  in 
the  Lower  School  for  two  years,  will  have  charge  of  pupil  relations 

21 


and  general  supervision  of  activities  in  the  Lower  School,  with  Mr. 
Stone  responsible  for  the  planning  and  coordination  with  the  Upper 
School  program. 

The  Harvard  Class,  whose  members  take  the  courses  offered 
by  the  Graduate  School  of  Education  of  Harvard  University  and 
which  is  conducted  at  Perkins,  was  made  up  this  year  of  eleven 
persons,  eight  on  a  full-time  basis,  and  three  taking  a  half  year's 
work.  The  class  has  a  wide  geographical  representation  with  per- 
sons from  China,  Egypt  and  Nicaragua,  and  from  three  states  in 
this  country.  This  year  will  be  notable  in  the  long  time  history 
of  the  course  in  that  it  was  the  last  in  which  lectures  were  given 
by  Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen,  Director  Emeritus,  who  founded  this 
course  twenty-eight  years  ago.  Advanced  age  has  made  it  impos- 
sible for  Dr.  Allen  to  continue  to  give  the  lectures  although  he 
carried  through  an  almost  complete  program  this  past  year.  To 
give  the  historical  lectures  which  Dr.  Allen  has  previously  presented 
we  are  fortunate  in  having  secured  as  visiting  lecturer  next  year, 
Dr.  Richard  S.  French,  until  January  1,  1949,  Superintendent  of 
the  California  School  for  the  Blind  and  lecturer  in  educational 
psychology  at  the  University  of  California. 

Deaf-Blind  Interests 

The  Deaf -Blind  Department  operated  this  year  with  only  seven 
pupils.  This  small  number  was  due,  as  we  have  stated  on  previous 
occasions,  to  the  difficulty  of  securing  teachers  well-trained  in  both 
the  field  of  the  blind  and  the  field  of  the  deaf.  Steps  were  taken 
during  the  summer  to  try  to  overcome  this  shortage  by  the  con- 
ducting of  a  course  to  train  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind,  at  the 
summer  school  of  Michigan  State  College  at  Ypsilanti.  Here  a 
course  was  given  by  Mrs.  N.  Maurine  Gittzus,  head  of  the  Perkins 
Deaf-Blind  Department,  in  the  Horace  H.  Rackham  School  of 
Special  Education.  The  Helen  Keller  Committee  for  the  Deaf-Blind 
of  the  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind  shared  with  Perkins  in 
sponsoring  this  course,  and  both  of  these  organizations  are  deeply 
grateful  to  Dr.  Francis  E.  Lord,  head  of  the  Rackham  School,  for 
his  support  and  the  many  things  he  did  to  make  this  course  possible. 
During  the  six  weeks'  course,  three  deaf-blind  children  were  in 
residence  for  demonstration  purposes,  and  four  persons  were  en- 
rolled. At  the  summer  school  there  were  also  courses  for  the  deaf 
and  blind,  which  supplemented  the  dual  training  offered  by  our 
special  course.     It  can  be  definitely  stated  that  this  course  has 

22 


stimulated  interest  in  the  education  of  the  deaf-blind  in  several 
parts  of  the  country,  and  during  the  coming  year  there  will  be 
classes  for  the  deaf-blind  in  several  schools. 

Once  again  in  November  we  sent  out  the  annual  appeal  for 
the  deaf-blind  with  an  attractive  calendar  in  blue  picturing  Juanita 
Morgan,  Pauline  Mansfield  and  Barbara  Sutton,  a  new  pupil.  Be- 
tween eleven  and  twelve  thousand  appeal  letters  were  mailed,  and 
we  were  pleased  to  receive  1687  contributions  totaling  $18,715.51. 
We  are  especially  grateful  for  the  fine  response  made  this  year  and 
are  thankful  to  all  who  have  taken  a  part  in  this  support  of  our 
CHILDREN  OF  THE  SILENT  NIGHT. 

The  general  health  of  the  school  during  the  year  was  good 
with  a  few  high  fluctuations.  During  the  fall  and  early  winter 
we  had  only  the  usual  routine  cases  of  illnesses  normal  to  school 
children.  In  March,  however,  virus-x  struck  Perkins  with  con- 
siderable violence  and  at  one  time  we  had  forty-eight  children  in 
bed  from  this  cause.  Until  two  weeks  before  the  close  of  school 
we  thought  we  had  avoided  any  of  the  quarantines  for  contagious 
diseases  which  sometimes  complicate  our  classroom  attendance  and 
living  arrangements,  but  in  early  June  we  had  five  cases  of  mumps 
in  the  kindergarten  cottages.  In  these  cottages  there  were  forty- 
five  children  who  had  not  had  mumps.  If  it  had  been  earlier  in 
the  year,  we  probably  would  have  followed  the  modern  practice  of 
allowing  the  children  to  have  mumps  and  get  it  over  with,  but  the 
time  for  the  closing  of  school  was  so  near  that  we  permitted  parents, 
who  wished  to  do  so,  to  take  their  boys  and  girls  home.  About 
thirty  children  left  three  or  four  days  before  the  closing  of  school, 
the  rest  remaining.  However,  none  of  those  remaining  came  down 
with  the  mumps  so  that  the  cottages  closed  on  time. 

Appliances  and  Embossing 

The  Howe  Memorial  Press  during  this  year  has  completed  its 
transition  period.  In  October  the  processes  of  printing  were  trans- 
ferred from  South  Boston  to  the  new  space  in  the  power  house  at 
Watertown.  Two  years  ago  the  new  machine  shop  for  the  making 
of  appliances  was  set  up  in  Watertown.  Now  all  of  the  facilities 
of  the  Press,  with  the  exception  of  a  small  amount  of  machinery 
continued  at  South  Boston,  are  centered  at  Watertown,  where  work 
is  efficiently  going  on  in  the  manufacturing  of  appliances  and  the 
embossing  of  books.  The  chief  item  in  the  device  area  is  the  con- 
tinued work  on  the  new  Brailler.     It  is  hoped  that  by  April  the 

23 


Brailler  will  be  available  to  the  many  people  who  have  placed  orders 
for  it.  During  the  year  the  Library  of  Congress  placed  orders 
for  and  the  Press  embossed  and  distributed  fifteen  titles  repre- 
senting thirty-eight  volumes.  During  the  year  Mr.  Waterhouse 
has  been  interested  in  new  processes  of  Braille  reproduction  and  in 
the  development  of  other  devices  which  will  be  helpful  to  the  blind. 
As  progress  is  made  in  this  research,  more  definite  reports  will  be 
presented,  but  it  is  one  of  the  progressive  steps  being  taken  by  the 
new  management  under  the  able  leadership  of  Mr.  Waterhouse. 

Workshop  Development 
The  Workshop  at  South  Boston  is  another  department  in  the 
process  of  new  leadership  and  development.  On  October  1,  1949, 
Frank  D.  Bryan,  who  for  forty  years  gave  able  leadership  to  the 
Workshop,  as  well  as  to  the  management  of  the  Howe  Press,  retired. 
Frederick  C.  March  succeeded  as  manager  and  carried  on  the 
administration  of  the  mattress-making  department  during  the 
winter.  He,  however,  resigned  in  June,  and  on  July  1,  Donald 
Eemick,  a  man  of  wide  experience  in  the  mattress  business,  was 
engaged  as  manager.  The  removal  of  the  Howe  Press  activities 
from  the  Workshop  and  the  vacating  of  the  National  Braille  Press 
a  year  ago  have  provided  considerable  room  for  expansion,  and 
there  is  every  evidence  that  the  coming  year  will  show  an  enlarged 

program. 

During  the  past  year  the  mattress  department  made  391  mat- 
tresses and  re-made  3,514  mattresses.  Many  of  these  orders  came 
from  hospitals  and  institutions.  The  outstanding  order  for  the 
year  was  for  355  inner  spring  mattresses  and  374  feather  pillows 
for  the  new  Senior  House  at  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Tech- 
nology. This  order  came  at  an  opportune  time  to  fill  the  low  ebb 
of  work  usual  during  the  winter  months,  and  it  was  completed  for 
the  opening  of  the  new  building  in  March.  For  the  confidence  of 
M.I.T.  in  giving  the  Workshop  this  large  order,  Perkins  is  deeply 
grateful  and  hopes  that  other  colleges  and  institutions  may  have 
equal  confidence  in  us,  and  thereby  give  our  blind  workers  a  larger 
opportunity  to  exercise  their  skill  as  mattress  makers.  Partly 
because  of  the  M.I.T,  order,  the  Workshop  closed  its  books  with  a 
profit  rather  than  with  a  deficit  which  has  been  common  for  many 
years,  and  reasonably  to  be  expected  in  a  sheltered  workshop  em- 
ploying handicapped  workers. 

The  general  management  of  the  business  affairs  of  the  school 

24 


THE  DEAF-BLIND  MAKING  MERRY 


KINDERGARTNERS  HAVING  FUN 


^^v:^H 


continued  under  the  leadership  of  Mr.  Hemphill,  the  Bursar,  The 
most  significant  change  in  that  department  during  the  year  was  the 
absorption  of  the  duties  formerly  carried  on  by  Mr.  Coon,  superin- 
tendent of  buildings  and  grounds.  Mr.  Hemphill  took  over  the 
direct  responsibility  of  this  work  and  in  re-organization  of  the 
maintenance  staff,  working  foremen  were  put  in  charge  of  the 
several  sections.  This  has  proved  effective,  and  under  the  stimulus 
of  new  direction  the  buildings  and  grounds  have  been  maintained 
in  an  efficient  way.  A  number  of  improvements,  made  possible  by 
special  appropriations,  have  been  carried  out.  These  are,  however, 
the  expected  requirements  for  buildings  thirty-five  years  of  age, 
where  there  is,  as  the  years  go  on,  an  increasing  demand  for  replace- 
ment and  constant  repair  if  good  conditions  are  to  prevail.  All  of 
the  men  in  charge  of  maintenance,  including  the  engineering  depart- 
ment, have  been  alert  to  the  needs  of  both  buildings  and  grounds. 
Perkins  is  fortunate  in  having  such  a  loyal  group  of  workers  eager 
to  keep  the  plant  in  good  condition. 

New  Electrical  Facilities 

The  outstanding  improvement  in  the  maintenance  department 
has  been  the  complete  rebuilding  and  re-equipment  of  the  electrical 
facilities  in  the  power  house  under  the  able  leadership  of  Mr.  Carroll, 
chief  engineer.  The  two  50  Kilowatt  generators  which  have  pro- 
vided electric  power  and  lighting  since  the  opening  of  the  school 
in  1913,  were  replaced  by  two  75  Kilowatt  generators.  For  the 
activating  of  these  generators  two  heavy  duty  three  cylinder  vertical 
unicell  engines  were  installed.  This  new  equipment  not  only  gives 
fifty  percent  more  power,  enabling  a  larger  use  of  electrical  equip- 
ment, but  it  also  changes  the  current  from  D.C.  to  A.G.  making  it 
more  available  for  many  of  the  modern  electrical  devices.  The  next 
step  in  the  electrical  field  is  the  planning  for  and  the  re-equipping 
of  classrooms  and  cottages  with  better  lighting.  As  a  test,  the 
boys'  manual  training  room  has  been  equipped  with  fluorescent  light- 
ing which  gives  illumination  meeting  the  needs  of  modern  standards 
for  shop  work.  In  the  process  of  this  work  the  manual  training 
room  has  been  re-arranged  for  a  more  scientific  flow  of  activities 
in  the  shop  program  and  an  acoustical  ceiling  has  been  installed. 
These  changes  give  Perkins  one  of  the  best  equipped  manual  training 
rooms  to  be  found  in  schools  for  the  blind. 

25 


Staff  Changes 
While  the  report  for  this  year  up  to  this  point  has  indicated 
significant  changes  in  leadership  in  the  several  departments,  the 
year  has  been  notable  because  of  the  few  changes  in  the  teaching 
staff.  At  the  close  of  the  year  three  teachers  terminated  their  work 
through  resignation  and  two  through  retirement.  Miss  Nancy  G. 
Jones,  teacher  of  the  Kindergarten  and  Samuel  E.  Price,  in  charge 
of  Physical  Education  on  the  boys'  side,  concluded  their  work  after 
one  year  of  service.  Joseph  E.  Jablonske  resigned  to  take  up  other 
work  after  nineteen  years  at  Perkins.  Miss  Ethel  D.  Evans,  who 
for  forty  years  has  been  a  teacher  at  Perkins,  relinquished  her  work 
under  the  retirement  plan.  Miss  Evans  was  one  of  our  outstanding 
teachers.  Her  unique  methods  of  teaching  arithmetic  and  her 
unusual  and  interesting  ways  of  combining  work  activity  with 
classroom  instruction  have  attracted  national  attention  and  have 
had  a  marked  influence  on  many  boys  who  came  under  her  instruc- 
tion. Mrs.  Jessie  W.  Mayshark,  teacher  in  the  Lower  School,  had 
to  retire  because  of  ill  health.  During  her  sixteen  years  at  Perkins 
Mrs.  Mayshark  became  an  outstanding  specialist  in  teaching  classes 
of  slow  pupils.  She  is  the  author  of  the  chapter  on  this  type  of 
work  in  "What  of  the  Blind,"  published  by  the  American  Foundation 
for  the  Blind,  and  also  of  a  children's  book  describing  life  at 
Perkins  entitled  "Wings  for  Ruth."  She  has  had  many  articles 
and  stories  in  professional  publications. 

Three  matrons  of  cottages  terminated  their  work  this  year, 
Mrs.  Beatrice  Wakefield  of  Anagnos  Cottage,  Miss  Laura  Tripp  of 
Tompkins  and  Miss  Stella  F.  Eldridge  of  Oliver.  Mrs.  Janet  G. 
Hancock,  who  during  the  past  year  was  in  charge  of  Moulton  Cottage 
in  the  Boys'  Upper  School,  returned  to  Anagnos  Cottage  where  she 
had  been  matron  for  twelve  years.  New  matrons  for  the  coming 
school  year  are  Miss  Fannie  Durfee,  Moulton  Cottage,  Mrs.  Charles 
Amadon,  Tompkins  Cottage  and  Miss  Isabel  Murray,  Oliver 
Cottage.  Mrs.  George  T.  Putnam,  who  since  1934  has  been  recep- 
tionist, graciously  meeting  and  escorting  visitors  about  the  school, 
resigned  in  June  and  is  greatly  missed.  Other  resignations  include 
Mrs.  Helen  Grant,  secretary  to  the  Principal,  and  Mrs.  Joan  B. 
Smith,  secretary  to  the  social  worker,  but  Mrs.  Smith  is  to  work 
part  time  assisting  Mr.  Smith,  who  is  Dean  of  Boys. 

New  teachers  beginning  work  in  September  1949  are  Miss  Jean 
Gray,  Wheaton  College,  '49  in  the  Kindergarten;  William  W.  Howat, 
Fitchburg   Teachers   College,   '49,   Manual   Training;    Edmund   J. 

26 


Jusczyk,  Springfield  College,  '49,  Physical  Education;  Derick  V. 
Willson,  University  of  Norwich,  '48,  Harvard,  Class  '49,  Social 
Studies,  and  Mrs.  Rose  M.  Vivian,  who  has  resumed  teaching  in 
the  Deaf -Blind  Department.  Miss  Valerie  C.  Payne,  Massachusetts 
General  Hospital,  '47,  has  been  engaged  as  resident  nurse  assisting 
Miss  Bishop.  New  secretary  to  the  social  worker  is  Miss  Helen 
Brown,  and  Miss  Maryjane  Youngblood  has  been  engaged  as  Edi- 
phonist  in  the  administration  office.  New  workers  in  the  business 
office  are  Miss  Phyllis  Gordon  and  Mrs.  Phyllis  Smith. 

The  Year  in  Review 

The  opening  staff  meeting  took  place  on  Monday  evening,  Sep- 
tember 13,  when  the  Director  introduced  the  new  members  of  the 
staff  and  outlined  plans  for  the  year.  The  pupils  returned  on  the 
following  day  and  on  Wednesday,  September  15,  classes  were  re- 
sumed for  the  118th  year.  Stated  meetings  throughout  the  year 
include  full  staff  meetings  each  month,  teachers'  meetings  held 
weekly,  meetings  of  the  matrons,  the  personnel  department,  the 
Boys'  Council  and  the  Girls'  Council  each  month  with  the  Director. 
These  meetings  offer  opportunity  to  integrate  the  whole  school 
program,  to  review  progress  and  to  make  suggestions  helpful  to  the 
good  conduct  of  the  school.  To  these  within  the  school  should  be 
added  the  monthly  meetings  of  the  Executive  Committee,  the 
quarterly  meetings  of  the  Trustees  and  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Corporation  held  for  1948  on  November  1,  and  for  1949  on  No- 
vember 7. 

October  events  were  the  retreats  and  conferences  provided  by 
the  Catholic  and  Protestant  Guilds  for  the  Blind  for  the  pupils  of 
the  Upper  School  over  the  weekend  of  October  2  and  3;  reception 
at  the  Director's  residence  for  staff  members  on  October  13  and 
the  game  party  of  the  Alumnae  Association  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Scholarship  Fund  in  Dwight  Hall  on  October  15,  A  two-piano 
recital  by  Andrew  Heath,  Jr.,  and  Karl  Kohn,  accompanists  of  the 
Harvard  Glee  Club,  was  given  in  Dwight  Hall  on  the  evening  of 
October  22,  and  as  closing  events,  Hallowe'en  parties  were  held 
in  the  Lower  School  cottages  on  October  27  and  in  the  Upper  School 
cottages  on  October  29. 

November  events  began  on  the  first  day  by  a  meeting  initiating 
the  Red  Feather  Drive  toward  which  Perkins  contributed  $740.90, 
and  a  little  later  the  Red  Cross  Drive  which  resulted  in  a  contribu- 
tion of  §413.80.     On  November  5  the  colorful  program  in  memory 

27 


of  Michael  Anagnos  was  held  in  the  Lower  School,  while  on  Novem- 
ber 10  the  Howe  Memorial  exercises  were  held  in  the  Upper  School 
with  six  members  of  the  Howe  family  representing  third  and  fourth 
generations  being  present.  On  the  evening  of  November  8,  a  thirty 
piece  veterans'  orchestra  under  the  direction  of  Bayard  Stone,  gave 
a  delightful  concert.  The  annual  football  banquet  marking  Eliot's 
victory  of  the  season  was  held  in  Moulton  Cottage  on  the  evening 
of  November  9,  with  the  boys  of  all  the  cottages  present  to  hear  a 
fine  address  by  "Swede"  Nelson,  former  Harvard  football  coach. 
At  the  assembly  on  the  morning  of  November  18,  Dale  Carnegie 
spoke  to  the  pupils,  initiating  a  sixteen  weeks  course  on  public 
speaking  offered  to  juniors,  seniors  and  post  graduate  students  of 
Perkins.  The  long  weekend  beginning  Thanksgiving  Day,  when 
practically  all  the  pupils  went  home,  marked  the  close  of  this  month. 

Christmas  Concerts 

December  is  largely  associated  with  activities  of  the  Music 
Department.  The  month  began  with  a  recital  by  Mr.  Bernard  P. 
Barbeau,  vocal  teacher  at  Perkins.  The  cottage  Christmas  parties 
were  held  on  the  evening  of  Monday,  December  13.  Three  concerts 
were  given  this  year  by  the  Upper  and  Lower  School  choruses,  all  in 
Dwight  Hall — Sunday,  December  12  in  the  afternoon,  and  the 
Tuesday  and  Thursday  evenings  following.  The  program  differed 
from  previous  years  in  that  the  musical  offerings  were  grouped 
around  three  themes.  The  program  was  planned  and  conducted 
by  Mr.  Paul  Bauguss,  director  of  music,  with  Miss  Eleanor  W. 
Thayer  in  charge  of  the  Lower  School  chorus,  Mrs.  Marjorie  A.  Carr, 
organist,  and  Miss  Louise  Seymour,  pianist.  Following  the  concert 
on  Thursday  night,  school  closed  for  the  Christmas  holidays.  As  an 
echo  of  the  concerts,  portions  of  the  program  were  recorded  and 
broadcast  on  Christmas  evening  between  six-thirty  and  seven  o'clock

Winter  Activities 
The  winter  term  began  with  the  opening  of  school  on  Janu- 
ary 4  and  continued  until  the  start  of  the  spring  vacation  on  April  8. 
As  the  term  was  long,  due  to  the  late  date  of  Easter,  breaks  were 
arranged  by  long  weekends,  in  the  Lower  School  from  February  18 
through  February  22,  and  in  the  Upper  School  from  March  4 
through  March  6.  Events  during  this  term  will  be  grouped  in 
three  categories— athletic,  music  and  general.

Wrestling  is  now  the  major  sport  at  Perkins  during  the  winter 
term,  although  it  is  supplemented  by  the  regular  schedule  of  gym- 
nasium classes  with  sport  programs  for  those  not  participating  in 
wrestling,  and  with  the  wide  use  of  the  swimming  pool  by  all  of 
the  pupils.  The  wrestling  season  began  this  year  on  January  8 
and  continued  through  March  18.  On  March  4  and  5  the  team 
participated  in  the  tournament  of  the  Eastern  Athletic  Association 
of  Schools  for  the  Blind,  held  at  Overbrook.  Perkins  took  third 
place  in  this  tournament  which  they  won  last  year.  Another  trip 
of  interest  was  to  the  New  York  Institute  over  the  weekend  of 
February  6.  There  was  also  an  interesting  trip  to  Phillips  Andover 
Academy  on  Saturday,  January  22.  The  Student  Council  at  Andover 
invited  the  Perkins  Chorus  to  sing  at  assembly.  The  boys  and 
girls  of  the  chorus  went  by  bus  with  the  wrestlers,  gave  the  con- 
cert to  approximately  750  boys,  cheered  the  Perkins  team  and  were 
escorted  about  the  Andover  campus  by  the  Andover  boys.  While 
Perkins  wrestlers  enjoyed  these  trips  and  the  local  competitions, 
the  results  in  terms  of  victory  were  not  up  to  hopes.  Perkins  won 
in  the  meet  with  Attleboro  High  School,  tied  with  Wellesley  High 
School,  lost  to  Browne  and  Nichols,  Needham  High  School,  Phillips 
Academy,  Noble  and  Greenough,  Tabor  Academy,  Milton  Academy, 
St.  Mark's  School  and  the  New  York  Institute. 

The  Music  Department  put  in  an  active  winter  term  preparing 
for  two  operettas  in  addition  to  the  regular  scheduled  classwork 
and  the  individual  instruction  given  to  vocal  and  instrumental 
students.  On  Wednesday  and  Friday  evenings,  March  30  and 
April  1,  the  Lower  School  presented  Hansel  and  Gretel  before  large 
audiences  who  were  delighted  with  the  performance  of  the  pupils, 
the  beauty  of  the  costumes  and  stage  setting  and  the  fine  spirit 
shown  by  the  pupils  in  the  public  performances.  In  the  Upper 
School  the  Gilbert  and  Sullivan  operetta  Patience  was  performed 
on  the  evenings  of  Thursday  and  Friday,  April  7  and  8,  and  both 
performances  were  attended  by  large  and  appreciative  audiences. 
The  presentation  of  the  operetta  was  a  change  from  the  offerings 
of  previous  years,  when  pop  concerts  were  featured.  This  change 
was  made  to  give  the  pupils  a  wider  experience  in  musical  production 
and  to  familiarize  them  with  music  of  this  character. 

General  events  of  the  winter  term  were  wide  and  varied  rang- 
ing from  dances  held  by  the  girls  on  January  22  and  February  26, 
and  by  the  boys  on  March  22,  to  a  delightful  staff  party  held  in  the 
new  teachers'   lounge   on   the    evening   of    February    1.      On   the 

29 


morning  of  February  26  the  Lower  School  pupils  presented  a  live 
broadcast  over  Station  WORL,  conducted  by  the  M-1  Safety  Squad 
program.  The  school  was  indebted  to  the  clergy  of  Watertown  for 
their  talks  in  the  Upper  School  assemblies  on  Thursday  mornings 
during  the  Lenten  Season.  The  new  staif  lounge  was  the  scene  of 
several  parties  and  informal  gatherings  of  staff  members.  It  has 
been  appreciated  both  for  these  events  and  also  as  a  place  where 
the  staff  may  gather  in  a  friendly  way,  thus  building  up  a  good 
social  relationship  among  our  workers. 

Spring  Events 
Over  the  weekend  of  April  2  and  3,  five  Perkins'  girls  took 
part  in  "Play  Day"  with  other  girls  from  schools  for  the  blind  in 
the  east,  at  the  New  York  Institute.  At  noon  on  April  25,  twenty 
girls  were  the  guests  of  the  Boston  Kiwanis  Club  at  the  Hotel 
Touraine.  This  is  the  annual  reunion  of  the  girls  who  attend  Camp 
Allen  which  is  run  by  the  Kiwanis  Club.  During  the  previous 
summer  twelve  girls  attended  this  camp  for  blind  girls  at  Bedford, 
Nev/  Hampshire.  On  the  evening  of  April  25  pupils  were  the  guests 
of  the  Winchester  Players  at  their  dress  rehearsal  of  the  Gondo- 
liers. On  the  morning  of  April  29,  the  Upper  School  chorus  pre- 
sented a  program  at  the  morning  assembly  of  the  Watertown  High 
School.  On  April  29  and  80  Perkins  boys  attended  the  boy  scout 
jamboree,  at  the  Overbrook  School  in  Philadelphia,  an  annual  event 
rotating  among  the  several  schools  in  the  East. 

The  month  of  May  began  with  a  delightful  concert  of  American 
ballads  sung  by  Burl  Ives,  on  the  afternoon  of  the  5th.  The  fol- 
lowing weekend  the  spring  conferences  and  retreats  by  the  Pro- 
testant and  Catholic  Guilds  were  held.  Other  events  in  the  month 
of  May  included  a  program  for  the  Educational  Buyers  Association 
on  the  12th.  On  the  afternoon  of  the  16th  the  Upper  School  girls 
had  a  party  for  the  Lower  School  girls  who  were  to  come  to  the 
Upper  School  next  year.  On  the  evenings  of  May  20  and  26  student 
recitals  were  given. 

Track  meets  are  the  chief  athletic  events  during  the  spring 
term  although  informal  baseball  games  take  a  good  deal  of  the 
boys'  time  during  this  season,  while  the  girls  have  their  own  pro- 
gram of  field  sports.  The  track  team  this  season  had  contests  with 
local  high  schools,  resulting  in  victories  over  Watertown  and 
Belmont  and  a  close  loss  to  Needham.  On  Saturday,  May  14,  the 
track   team   took  third  place   in  the  annual  meet  of  the   Eastern 

30 


Athletic  Association  of  Schools  for  the  Blind  at  the  Connecticut 
School  for  the  Blind  in  Hartford.  The  following  Saturday,  May  21, 
Perkins  was  host  to  the  track  team  of  the  New  York  Institute, 
when  the  score  was  Perkins  41,  New  York  Institute  22. 

First  Sight  Saving  Teacher 

On  Saturday,  May  14,  at  the  meeting  of  the  Massachusetts 
Sight  Conservation  Association  at  the  Hotel  Kenmore,  Boston, 
Miss  Helen  Smith  was  presented  with  a  certificate  enrolling  her 
as  an  honorary  life  member  of  the  National  Society  for  the  Pre- 
vention of  Blindness.  This  was  granted  to  her  as  the  teacher  of 
the  first  sight  saving  class  in  America,  which  was  opened  in  Boston 
in  1913.  Miss  Smith,  prior  to  that,  had  been  a  teacher  at  Perkins 
for  eight  years,  and  since  her  retirement  has  continued  to  live  in 
Watertown.  The  Director  spoke  on  this  occasion  and  presented 
the  greetings  and  appreciation  of  Perkins. 

May  27  was  a  busy  day,  for  on  that  morning  and  early  after- 
noon, the  Helen  Keller  Committee  of  the  Deaf-Blind  of  the  Amer- 
ican Foundation  for  the  Blind  held  its  spring  meeting  at  Perkins. 
It  was  attended  by  members  from  several  parts  of  the  country.  In 
the  afternoon  a  demonstration  of  the  work  of  the  deaf-blind  was 
presented  for  the  members  of  the  committee  and  also  for  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Massachusetts  Council  of  Organizations  for  the  Blind 
which  had  its  spring  gathering  at  four  o'clock.  This  was  followed 
by  a  picnic  supper  with  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Council  held  in 
the  evening.  The  speaker  at  the  evening  session  was  Dr.  Clarence 
E.  O'Connor,  member  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Committee,  and  Principal 
of  the  Lexington  School  for  the  Deaf  in  New  York  City,  who  gave 
a  very  interesting  talk  on  the  education  of  the  deaf  to  the  assembled 
leaders  in  the  field  of  the  blind. 

June  is  always  dominated  by  events  leading  up  to  graduation. 
The  girls'  senior  prom  was  a  little  ahead  of  the  month,  having  been 
held  on  Saturday  evening,  May  14.  The  boys'  senior  prom  was 
held  on  Friday  evening,  June  3.  The  Alumnae  Association,  made 
up  of  graduates  of  the  Girls'  Upper  School  held  its  annual  reunion 
over  the  weekend  of  June  4,  while  the  Alumni  Association  had 
meetings  on  June  11,  culminating  in  a  banquet  on  that  evening. 
Two  outdoor  events  of  interest  to  the  girls  were  a  trip  up  the 
Charles  River  in  ten  cruisers  on  the  evening  of  June  7,  as  the 
guests  of  the  Watertown  Yacht  Club,  and  a  picnic  at  the  Perkins 
pond  on  June  9,  to  celebrate  the  victory  of  Oliver  Cottage  in  the 

31 


athletic  events  of  the  year.  On  the  afternoon  of  June  13,  a  bon 
voyage  party  was  held  in  the  staff  lounge  for  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Farrell 
who  were  sailing  for  England  on  June  24. 

Graduation  exercises  were  held  on  the  afternoon  of  June  16. 
The  Commencement  address  was  given  by  the  Hon.  William  E. 
Powers,  who,  after  graduating  from  Perkins  in  1932,  went  to 
Boston  School  of  Law.  Admitted  to  the  bar,  he  was  appointed 
probate  judge  of  Cumberland  County,  Rhode  Island,  and  in  1938 
was  elected  to  the  Rhode  Island  legislature.  In  November,  1948 
he  was  elected  attorney  general  of  the  State  of  Rhode  Island.  Out 
of  his  political  experience  Mr.  Powers  gave  a  notable  address  which 
was  greatly  appreciated  by  the  graduates  and  the  audience  attend- 
ing the  exercises. 

Fourteen  Graduates 
Diplomas  were  awarded  to  fourteen  graduates,  seven  boys  and 
seven  girls,  by  Dr.  Reginald  Fitz,  President  of  the  Corporation. 
Certificates  were  presented  to  two  girls  who  met  the  requirements 
for  Ediphone  work.  One  of  these  was  granted  to  Gladys  E. 
Weisenborn  of  Hazleton,  Pennsylvania,  National  Scholarship 
student  at  Perkins,  and  the  other  to  Maryjane  Youngblood  of  Ded- 
ham,  who  returned  a  year  ago  to  do  special  work  after  several 
years  of  employment.  Of  the  seven  girl  graduates,  three  have 
entered  college.  Mary  Ethel  Bull  is  attending  Wesleyan  College 
in  Georgia,  Natalie  J.  Bourdon,  Emmanuel  College,  Boston,  and 
Hope  M.  McDonald,  the  University  of  New  Hampshire.  One  of 
the  boys,  Richard  H.  Evensen,  has  been  accepted  at  Harvard  where 
he  was  granted  a  full  tuition  scholarship  because  of  his  high  aca- 
demic standing.  Two  of  the  graduates  will  return  to  Perkins  for 
post-graduate  work  in  special  fields,  while  the  others  went  to  their 
homes  for  job  placement  according  to  their  interests. 

Boston  was  this  summer  the  scene  of  the  convention  of  the 
American  Association  of  Workers  for  the  Blind,  made  up  of  those 
who  carry  on  programs  in  the  adult  field.  Over  five  hundred  dele- 
gates gathered  from  all  parts  of  the  country.  The  host  for  the 
Convention  was  the  Massachusetts  Council  of  Organizations  for  the 
Blind.  Francis  E.  lerardi,  who  was  graduated  from  Perkins  in 
1908,  was  chairman  of  the  planning  committee,  and  was  assisted 
by  many  people  associated  with  work  for  the  blind  in  Massachu- 
setts, including  staff  members  at  Perkins.  On  Wednesday  morning 
and  afternoon  many  members  of  the  Convention  visited  Perkins.

Although  the  school  was  not  in  session  the  visitors  had  opportunity 
to  see  our  plant  and  learn  about  programs  through  special  exhibits. 
At  the  closing  meeting  Mr.  lerardi  was  elected  president  of  this 
national  organization.  While  writing  of  this  honor  it  might  be 
well  to  add  that  on  October  22,  1948,  when  the  new  building  of  the 
National  Braille  Press  was  opened,  Mr.  lerardi  was  awarded  the 
Migel  Medal  granted  each  year  by  the  American  Foundation  for 
the  Blind  to  a  person  whom  the  Foundation  feels  has  made  an  out- 
standing contribution  to  our  field. 

Present  Enrollment 

The  enrollment  of  the  school  as  of  November  1,  1949,  was  237 
compared  with  243  a  year  ago.  During  the  year  42  pupils  completed 
their  work  and  were  discharged.  The  reasons  for  discharge  were — 
graduated  14 ;  completed  scholarships  2 ;  completed  other  training  3 ; 
transferred  to  public  schools  or  sight  saving  classes  13;  ceased  to 
progress  7;  withdrew  on  account  of  illness  3.  At  the  opening  of 
the  school  year  36  new  pupils  were  enrolled. 

The  237  pupils  enrolled  on  November  1,  1949  are  divided  as 
follows:  Massachusetts  139;  Maine  28;  Rhode  Island  23;  New 
Hampshire  14;  Vermont  12;  New  Jersey  2;  and  from  other  states 
19.  This  year  there  are  students  from  four  foreign  countries — 
Argentina,  China,  Haiti,  and  Mexico,  and  from  the  following  states 
outside  of  New  England:  Alabama,  Colorado,  Georgia,  Kentucky, 
Michigan,  New  York,  North  Carolina,  Missouri,  Ohio,  and  Wash- 
ington. 

Perhaps  the  most  significant  fact  about  the  present  enrollment 
is  the  increasing  number  of  children  whose  blindness  is  due  to 
retrolental  fibroplasia.  These  are  children  who  have  visual  defects 
due  to  premature  birth.  At  the  present  time  in  the  New  England 
area  there  are  approximately  250  children  who  are  handicapped 
from  this  cause.  Eight  new  children  in  this  category  were  ad- 
mitted this  year,  bringing  the  total  within  the  school  up  to  twenty- 
five.  These  children,  blind  from  this  special  cause,  supplement  the 
large  number  of  boys  and  girls  representing  the  crop  of  war  babies, 
who  are  now  crowding  the  early  grades  of  seeing  schools,  and  of 
whom  a  quota  will  be  visually  handicapped.  While  the  present 
Perkins  enrollment  is  low,  these  factors  indicate  that  there  will  be, 
as  the  years  roll  on,  another  advance  in  the  number  of  pupils  need- 
ing the  facilities  which  Perkins  has  provided  for  118  years.

II 

The  second  portion  of  this  report  is  taken  from  the  address 
entitled  "The  Exercise  of  the  Benevolent  Affections"  which  the 
Director  made  at  the  Centennial  Celebration  of  the  Illinois  School 
for  the  Blind.  The  title  is  a  phrase  used  by  Dr.  Samuel  Gridley 
Howe  in  1842  when  pleading  for  the  opening  of  more  schools  "not 
for  the  blind  alone,  but  for  the  influence  they  have  on  the  com- 
munity by  furnishing  occasion  for  the  exercise  of  the  benevolent 
affections."  After  felicitous  remarks  about  the  occasion  and  the 
local  situation,  he  proceeded  to  discuss  matters  of  national  im- 
portance to  the  blind,  raising  the  question,  "What  are  some  of  the 
problems  which  confront  educators  of  the  blind  to-day,  and  which 
face  our  residential  schools?" 

Perhaps  the  outstanding  one  is  the  challenge  to  the  residential 
school  itself.    There  are  those  who  claim  that  we  are  relics  of  the 
past,  and  that  new  ways  of  educating  blind  children  must  be  found. 
One  new  way  which  they  advocate  is  the  conduct  of  Braille  classes 
in  public  school  systems.    To  Illinois  that  is  not  a  new  way,  for  in 
1900  John  B.  Curtis  opened  the  first  day  class  for  the  blind  in  the 
public  schools  of  Chicago.     Next  year  this  state  can  observe  the 
semi-centennial  of  the  opening  of  this  form  of  education  for  blind 
children.    From  that  time  and  from  that  center,  day  classes  have 
grown  until  they  are  now  found  in  the  public  school  systems  of 
twenty-three  communities  in  ten  states  and  the  District  of  Coluni- 
bia.     They  accommodate  about  six  hundred  children  or  approxi- 
mately ten  per  cent  of  the  nation's  educable  blind  youth.    For  that 
or  even  a  larger  percentage,  the  day  class  may  well  be  needed  but 
a  heavy  load  remains  for  the  residential  schools.     And  they  are 
content  to  serve  blind  youth  with  the  same  efficiency,  or  with  better 
efficiency,  for  the  next  one  hundred  years  or  as  long  as  they  are 

needed. 

Advocates  of  the  public  school  classes  stress,  first  of  all,  that 
they  keep  the  children  living  within  their  families,  and  second, 
that  the  children  remain  as  an  integral  part  of  the  communities 
in  which  their  future  vocational  opportunities  lie.  These  are  both 
sound  concepts  which  we  are  glad  to  accept,  but  we  are  not  ready 
to  accept  the  charges  that  many  of  our  children  are  frustrated  and 
restricted  in  their  opportunity  and  made,  as  one  writer  has  stated, 
"primarily  blind  individuals  and  secondarily  members  of  the 
greater  whole.'* 

In  considering  the  merits  of  the  residential  school  versus  the 

34 


day  class,  two  facts  must  be  born  in  mind:  first,  there  will  always 
be  children  from  isolated  communities  who  must  be  gathered  in 
one  central  place  if  they  are  to  obtain  schooling,  and  second,  there 
will  always  be  some  parents  who  feel  there  is  value  for  their  chil- 
dren in  living  during  their  formative  years  in  the  environment  of 
a  boarding  school.  Among  seeing  children  this  privilege  is  now 
restricted  to  those  whose  parents  can  afford  this  expensive  type 
of  schooling.  Should  blind  children  be  deprived  of  similar  oppor- 
tunity? 

Definition  of  Blindness 

Turning  from  the  type  of  education  best  suited  to  blind  youth, 
let  us  consider  the  young  people  themselves.  Strange  as  it  may 
seem,  the  first  problem  which  gives  us  concern  is  the  question 
"Who  is  blind  and  who  is  not  blind?"  While  the  widely  accepted 
definition  of  a  blind  person  (one  whose  vision  measures  20/200  or 
less  on  the  Snellen  Chart)  may  be  adequate  to  determine  the  re- 
cipients of  blind  assistance  or  other  benefits  provided  for  adults, 
it  is  not  working  out  satisfactorily  as  a  means  of  determining 
which  visually  handicapped  children  should  be  in  a  school  for  the 
blind  and  which  should  not.  Beyond  that  scientifically  fixed  line 
there  is  a  fringe  in  both  directions.  Some  pupils  who  test  under 
20/200  are  able  to  use  their  eyes  so  effectively  that  they  can  profit 
by  visual  training,  whereas  others  with  vision  above  the  line,  have 
not  developed  the  ability  to  use  their  sight  effectively  enough  to 
be  able  to  profit  by  it.  There  is  need  for  a  better  statement  of 
visual  qualifications  before  we  can  determine  with  fairness, 
whether  a  child  should  attend  a  school  for  the  blind  or  be  sent  to 
a  sight-saving  class. 

This  marginal  area  of  vision  around  the  20/200  line  is  calling 
for  new  methods  in  the  program  of  education  for  the  blind.  Twenty 
years  ago  we  used  only  tactual  methods.  All  of  our  pupils  read 
and  wrote  Braille.  Now  many  of  them  have  enough  sight  to  profit 
by  visual  instruction,  and  the  ophthalmologists  tell  us  that  we  must 
teach  them  how  to  make  usable  vision  really  useful.  This  has 
necessitated  the  introduction  of  visual  forms  of  instruction  in  our 
schools.  School  room  lighting  is  an  important  factor.  Blackboards 
are  becoming  necessary.  Ink  print  textbooks  in  large  clear  type 
are  essential.  Pedagogical  principles  for  teaching  the  partially 
blind  are  growing  up  by  the  hit-or-miss  method,  whereas  we  should 
have,  and  must  have,  scientific  research  in  this  area  of  instruction 
as  our  schools  enter  their  second  century. 

35 


One  of  the  chief  dangers  growing  out  of  this  situation  is  the 
tendency  on  the  part  of  some  schools  to  feel  that  as  long  as  they 
are  to  have  visual  instruction  they  might  as  well  extend  the  vision 
range  of  eligibility  to  include  those  who  formerly  would  be  con- 
sidered candidates  for  sight-saving  classes.  Many  consider  this 
tendency  unfair  both  to  the  blind  child  within  the  school,  and  to 
the  partially  sighted  child  who  is  sent  to  a  school  for  the  blind. 
England  is  solving  this  problem  in  a  better  way.  Instead  of  mixing 
in  one  school  both  partially  sighted  and  blind,  the  English  are 
designating  some  schools  for  blind  children  only,  and  other  schools 
formerly  used  for  the  blind,  as  centers  for  partially  seeing  pupils. 
One  reason  why  it  seemed  feasible  for  us  to  extend  the  vision 
range  for  admission  to  our  schools,  was  the  fact  that  prior  to 
World  War  II  enrollment  in  our  schools  was  decreasing  and  we 
had  room  for  the  partially  sighted. 

You  may  recall  that  Stuart  Chase,  in  an  article  in  the 
February  1939  Atlantic  Monthly  (and  summarized  in  the 
March  Reader's  Digest)  stated  that  there  "were  more  than 
a  million  empty  desks  in  our  elementary  schools  this  year"  and 
predicted,  "If  present  trends  continue,  by  1960  there  will  be  ten 
million  empty  desks  in  our  schools  and  colleges."  This  situation 
was  due  to  the  ebb  in  the  population  wave  which  was  passing 
through  the  schools  at  that  time.  Right  after  World  War  I,  the 
birth  rate  began  to  rise,  and  continued  until  1925,  when  it  began 
to  decline.  In  1939,  children  representing  the  peak  of  that  wave, 
had  passed  through  the  elementary  schools,  and  were  in  the  upper 
grades  and  about  to  enter  college.  The  marked  decrease  in  birth 
rate  during  the  depression  was  then  causing  sharp  reduction  in 
the  number  of  children  in  the  primary  grades.  On  the  basis  of 
these  facts,  we  felt  safe  in  predicting  that  the  enrollment  in  schools 
for  the  blind,  where  the  normal  decrease  in  population  was  aug- 
mented by  the  progress  made  in  the  reduction  of  blindness,  was 
definitely  on  the  decline,  and  that  we  might  look  forward  to  pro- 
gressive liquidation. 

That  little  word  "if"  in  the  Stuart  Chase  article  proved  his 
saving  grace,  for  the  indicated  trends  did  not  continue.  The  old 
pattern  reappeared.  The  aftermath  of  World  War  II  was  a  tre- 
mendous increase  in  birth  rate.  In  an  authoritative  article  appears 
this  statement,  "In  the  four  years  1941  to  1944,  over  eleven  million 
babies  were  born,  of  whom  1.7  million  would  not  have  been  born 
at  the  birth  rate  prevailing  in  the  pre-war  year  1939."     The  peak 

36 


birth  rate  in  this  cycle  was  in  1943.  Multitudes  of  these  war 
babies  are  now  entering  our  primary  grades  and  will  ride  as  a 
wave  for  the  next  decade  or  more  through  the  college  years.  Since 
1943  the  birth  rate  has  gone  down,  and  if  unemployment  increases, 
we  may  expect  a  decrease  in  the  number  of  babies. 

These  statistics  have  a  bearing  on  the  future  of  all  schools, 
and  especially  of  our  schools.  Schools  for  the  blind  had  in  the  past 
an  accelerated  decrease  in  potential  pupils  due  to  better  medical 
care  and  improved  surgical  techniques  in  the  field  of  ophthalmology. 
It  is  a  strange  irony  of  fate  that  advances  in  the  medical  field  are 
now  proving  to  be  the  medium  of  increased  blindness.  Our  schools 
are  now  receiving  applications  for  admission  from  young  people 
in  their  late  teens  whose  blindness  has  been  caused  by  diabetes. 
Prior  to  the  discovery  of  insulin  they  would  probably  not  have 
lived  to  the  teen  age.  Now  they  are  being  kept  alive  and  are 
coming  to  our  schools. 

Increase  in  Blind  Babies 

Another  and  more  alarming  increase  is  revealed  in  the  tremen- 
dous advance  in  the  number  of  blind  babies  now  being  reported 
throughout  the  country.  The  Annual  Report  of  the  Division  of 
the  Blind  of  Illinois  states  that  the  number  of  pre-school  blind 
children  jumped  from  sixteen  in  July  1946  to  100  in  July  1948. 
New  Jersey  reports  a  four-fold  increase  from  thirty  in  1944  to 
123  as  of  March.  1,  1948.  In  Massachusetts  at  the  present  time, 
we  have  approximately  250  children  of  pre-school  age  who  are 
blind.  Most  of  these  are  children  who  were  born  prematurely  and 
who  through  new  methods  of  medical  care  are  now  being  kept 
alive.  According  to  estimates,  as  high  as  twelve  percent  of  these 
premature  babies  will  be  visually  handicapped. 

This  startling  increase  in  the  number  of  blind  children  in  the 
pre-school  age  group  has  focused  attention  upon  their  problems 
and  our  responsibility  for  them.  There  is  great  need  for  construc- 
tive thinking  in  this  area.  Above  all  else,  we  must  avoid  the  easy 
way,  lowering  the  age  of  admission,  so  that  these  little  children 
may  be  sent  to  the  residential  schools.  There  are  many  of  us  who 
feel  that  this  is  unwise.  Little  children  should  not  be  taken  away 
from  the  warmth  and  security  of  their  homes,  even  if  unprece- 
dented effort  must  be  made  to  give  the  parents  the  guidance  that 
they  so  sorely  need  when  confronted  with  a  blind  baby.  In  some 
states  this  is  being  accomplished  by  the  employment  of  trained 

37 


teachers,  experts  in  the  pre-school  age  group,  who  visit  the  homes 
to  observe  the  children  and  to  make  suggestions  for  their  care.  In 
some  states,  and  Illinois  is  among  the  first,  summer  institutes  are 
being  held,  where  mothers  go  with  their  babies.  While  the  children 
are  greatly  helped,  the  primary  purpose  is  to  give  the  mothers  the 
best  of  instruction  and  an  opportunity  to  compare  notes  with  others 
in  similar  situations. 

I  cannot  go  into  the  many  aspects  of  this  present  and  pressing 
problem.  I  can  simply  point  out  its  importance  and  urge  that  we 
guard  against  ill-considered  methods  and  involved  techniques 
which  are  often  only  substitutes  for  a  real  solution.  While  there 
is  room  for  good  literature  on  this  group,  and  much  could  be  writ- 
ten, the  fundamental  need  has  been  effectively  stated  by  Richard 
Armour  in  the  little  poem  which  reads: 

"Give  your  child  his  vitamins, 
Give  him  lectures  on  his  sins, 
Give  him  nosedrops  if  you  choose, 
Give  him  arch-supporting  shoes, 
Give  him  toys  that  educate. 
Give  him  chalk  and  give  him  slate, 
Give  him  lessons  —  music,  art — 
Give  him  books  to  make  him  smart... 
Give  him  all  the  things  above. 
Also,  please,  a  little  love." 

There  is  a  temptation,  after  discussing  some  of  the  problems 
in  the  pre-school  area,  to  go  on  level  by  level  through  our  grades 
of  instruction.  Time,  however,  will  not  permit  this,  and  it  would 
be  presumptuous  to  try  to  tell  educators  of  the  blind  how  they 
should  conduct  their  classes  from  Kindergarten  through  High 
School.  There  are  well-established  and  time-honored  methods 
which  all  of  our  schools  employ.  I  would  like,  however,  before 
closing,  to  make  some  comments  on  another  area  of  training  which 
lies  beyond  the  normal  program,  even  as  the  work  with  the  pre- 
school blind  child  is  prior  to  the  usual  setup. 

The  area  to  which  I  refer  is  the  vocational  training  of  our 
youth.  There  has  been  a  tendency  of  late  to  introduce  more  and 
more  vocational  training  into  our  schools.  This,  I  feel,  is  not  in 
accord  with  the  new  trends  in  general  education,  where  more  stress 
is  being  placed  upon  the  fundamentals  and  educators  are  decrying 
specialization. 

38 


Opportunities  of  Rehabilitation 

In  our  field,  a  new  factor  may  enable  us  to  give  more  attention 
to  the  fundamentals  and  to  make  our  program  more  general  and 
less  specialized.  This  is  the  enlargement  of  opportunities  for  voca- 
tional training  under  the  Vocational  Rehabilitation  Act  of  1944, 
making  available  to  the  states,  Federal  money  for  "Any  service 
necessary  to  render  a  disabled  individual  fit  to  engage  in  a  remu- 
nerative occupation."  "Any  service"  is  a  broad  term,  for  it  includes 
medical  and  surgical  care,  hospitalization,  prosthetic  devices,  as 
well  as  rehabilitative  training,  either  in  special  schools  or  "on  the 
job,"  followed  by  placement  service. 

The  significance  of  this  new  program  is  that  it  may  deter  the 
schools  from  trying  to  do  what  they  have  not  been  able  to  do  very 
well — the  actual  training  leading  to  job  placement.  State  agencies 
for  the  blind,  operating  under  this  law,  have  facilities  far  beyond 
what  any  school  can  provide.  For  blind  youth  to  get  full  advantage 
of  these  enlarged  opportunities,  however,  there  must  be  complete 
understanding  and  practical  integration  of  what  the  school  offers 
in  fundamental  schooling  and  what  rehabilitation  can  provide  in 
specialized  training.  According  to  a  recent  report  of  the  Federal 
Security  Agency,  in  the  five  years  of  this  Act,  8546  blind  men  and 
women  have  been  rehabilitated  to  a  point  where  they  can  make 
their  own  living.  The  opportunities  under  this  Act  are  not  yet 
being  fully  realized  and  our  schools  must  make  understanding  efforts 
to  enable  our  pupils  to  benefit  by  it.  While  we  may  quote,  we  can 
hardly  endorse,  the  definition  of  rehabilitation  given  by  Lloyd 
Greenwood  in  the  April  B.V.A.  Bulletin:  "If  you  do  this  for  your- 
self, you  are  exceptional;  if  an  agency  does  it  for  you,  you  are  a 
statistic;  and  if  it  doesn't  happen,  you  are  non-feasible." 

When,  at  the  outset  of  this  address,  I  told  you,  that  the  begin- 
ning of  the  second  century  of  this  school  would  bring  to  it  many 
problems,  it  was  not  my  purpose  to  cite  problem  after  problem  until 
you  should  be  discouraged  or  have  a  feeling  of  despair.  With  the 
problems  are  opportunities.  With  the  costs  are  compensations. 
Those  schools  that  are  old  enough  to  have  started  a  second  century, 
and  the  others  who  will  join  our  century  club  as  the  years  roll  on, 
may  feel  assured  that  the  past  years  have  paid  dividends,  and  that 
the  years  which  lie  ahead  abound  in  opportunity  for  service  and 
for  satisfaction.  The  benevolent  affections  of  our  fore-fathers 
were  never  more  needed  than  they  are  to-day,  and  we  are  challenged 

39 


to  see  that  they  are  exercised  to  the  fullest.  In  closing  I  should 
like  to  cite  three  areas  where  these  affections  should  be  cultivated 
and  stimulated. 

Three  Challenges 

I  would  challenge  first  of  all  the  leaders  in  the  field  of  the 
education  of  the  blind,  both  in  the  residential  schools  and  in  the 
day  classes,  to  be  open-minded  and  alert  to  the  needs  of  their 
charges.  Special  education  must  not  drag  behind  general  education. 
New  methods  must  be  sought  and  adequate  facilities  procured,  but 
more  than  money  and  methods,  buildings  and  facilities  are  needed. 
There  must  be  the  vision  that  sees  ahead.  There  must  be  the 
attitude  of  mind  that  finds  satisfaction  and  happiness  in  making 
our  schools  all  that  they  ought  to  be.  In  doing  this  there  must  be 
no  smallness  in  our  thinking,  no  smugness  in  our  accomplishment, 
but  an  ever-increasing  benevolence  in  our  affections  towards  one 
another. 

Secondly,  I  should  like  to  throw  out  a  challenge  to  the  blind 
youth  of  this  country.  Have  they  done  their  part  in  helping  us  to 
fulfill  our  purpose?  The  finest  schools  in  the  world  and  the  most 
intellectual  leaders  can  do  little  for  blind  youth  unless  they  have 
within  themselves  the  will  to  achieve,  and  to  attain  the  strength 
of  character  which  enables  them  to  overcome  the  obstacle  of  re- 
stricted vision.  The  program  for  their  training  is  available  and 
facilities  for  their  guidance  and  growth  are  ample,  but  blind  youth 
must  avail  itself  of  this  training  and  of  these  facilities  by  exercising 
the  benevolent  affections  within  themselves  and  among  themselves. 
Let  there  be  no  bickering  or  attitude  of  defeat.  Rather  let  there 
be  that  determination  which  overcomes  obstacles. 

Thirdly,  I  should  like  to  throw  out  a  challenge  to  the  seeing 
world;  first,  to  accept  and  to  make  opportunity  for  their  brothers 
who  do  not  see,  and  second  to  realize  their  responsibility  for  the 
extent  of  blindness  in  this  country.  The  exercise  of  the  benevolent 
affections  will  do  much  to  open  the  way  in  the  seeing  world  for  blind 
persons.  We  would  ask  that  those  who  have  been  trained  in  our 
schools  be  accepted,  not  because  of  their  disability  but  because  of 
the  abilities  which  we  know  they  have;  and  in  considering  them 
for  work  that  they  be  judged,  not  by  what  they  have  lost,  but  by 
what  they  possess.  Education  of  the  community  regarding  blindness 
is  perhaps  quite  as  important  as  the  education  of  the  blind  to  find 

40 


TYPING  IN  THE  NEW  EDIPHONE  ROOM 


AT  THE  BENCHES  IN  THE  WOOD-WORKING  SHOP 


their  place  in  the  community.    But  the  community  must  be  ready 
to  learn  and  to  understand. 

The  further  aspect  of  my  challenge  to  the  seeing  world  rests 
on  the  fact  that  the  first  right  of  a  blind  person  is  not  to  be  blind. 
There  is  a  social  responsibility  for  blindness  in  this  country  which 
can  no  longer  be  evaded.  Authorities  tell  us  that  from  fifty  to 
seventy-five  percent  of  blindness  is  preventable.  I  shall  not  take 
the  time  to  point  out  the  tremendous  economic  saving  if  this  un- 
necessary loss  of  sight  were  eliminated,  or  the  reduction  that  would 
be  possible  in  the  special  facilities  which  are  now  maintained  because 
of  the  230,000  people  who  cannot  see.  Words  fail  to  describe  the 
human  salvage  within  our  reach.  But  this  fact  is  beyond  dispute — 
needless  loss  of  sight  in  the  community  must  be  prevented. 

Need  for  Research 

How  are  we  going  to  accomplish  this?  There  are  many  ways. 
Perhaps  one  of  the  untapped  sources  is  in  research  into  the  causes 
of  blindness.  Research  is  the  order  of  the  day,  and  our  field  must 
not  ignore  its  possibilities.  Already  great  advancements  have  been 
made.  Medical  schools  and  hospitals  throughout  the  country  are 
working  on  these  problems,  but  all  of  them  under  restricted  budgets. 
Perhaps  the  time  has  come  when  a  definite  effort  should  be  made  to 
enlist  the  support  of  the  Federal  Government  in  financing  research 
into  the  causes  of  blindness.  The  present  Congress  is  appropriating 
millions  of  dollars  for  research  in  medical  fields.  Cancer  and  heart 
studies  are  vast  enterprises.  One  bill  before  Congress  is  allocating 
$1,780,000  for  the  treatment  of  children's  teeth.  Certainly  that 
much  money  and  far  more  should  be  available  to  save  our  children's 
eyes 

We  know  that  at  the  end  of  another  century  there  undoubtedly 
will  still  be  blind  people  who  need  our  schools  and  the  exercise  of 
the  benevolent  affections.  But  if  our  task  becomes  infinitely  smaller, 
our  satisfaction  will  be  abundantly  greater.  Certainly  the  attain- 
ment of  that  goal  is  deserving  of  our  best  attention  and  it  should 
be  the  challenge  and  the  hope  that  gives  us  courage  as  we  embark 
on  the  second  century. 

Ill 

Shortly  after  graduation  the  Director  left  for  England,  prima- 
rily to  attend  the  International  Conference  of  Workers  for  the 
Blind  at  Merton  College,  Oxford,  August  3  to  13.    During  the  first 

41 


three  weeks  of  July  London  was  headquarters.  As  a  member  of 
the  Organizing  Committee  of  the  Oxford  Conference,  there  were  a 
number  of  meetings  concerned  with  planning  which  I  had  to  attend. 
During  the  week  of  July  11,  I  spent  three  days  in  Eire,  where  I 
went  to  see  a  deaf-blind  child,  and  to  discuss  plans  for  the  education 
of  the  doubly  handicapped.  Four  days  of  the  following  week  were 
spent  in  Amsterdam,  Holland,  attending  the  Second  International 
Congress  for  the  Education  of  Maladjusted  Children.  While  in 
London  I  had  opportunity  to  talk  over  problems  of  the  blind  with 
many  of  the  leaders  and  to  observe  some  of  the  new  and  interesting 
developments  in  that  country. 

The  gathering  in  Amsterdam  proved  to  be  one  of  great  interest, 
as  it  was  attended  by  educators  in  the  several  fields  of  disability 
from  twenty-nine  countries.  The  United  States,  however,  had  few 
representatives,  and  the  program  for  the  blind  held  a  relatively 
small  place  in  the  program.  At  one  of  the  sessions  devoted  to  the 
blind  I  read  a  paper  on  "Vocational  Education  of  the  Blind  in  the 
United  States,"  while  papers  on  other  aspects  of  blindness  were 
presented  by  representatives  from  Austria,  Holland  and  Switzerland. 
Dr.  C.  M.  Waller  Zeper,  in  charge  of  three  schools  for  the  blind  in 
Holland,  presided  at  this  session.  On  one  of  the  days,  Dr.  Zeper 
took  me  on  a  300  mile  drive  around  Holland,  which  he  had  to  make 
on  business.  This  afforded  a  wonderful  view  of  the  country  and 
opportunity  to  discuss  mutual  problems  in  the  field  of  blindness. 
Dr.  Zeper  has  a  good  command  of  English.  The  Amsterdam  con- 
ferences were  held  in  the  India  Institute,  headquarters  of  the  East 
Indian  Colonial  Empire  of  the  Netherlands,  a  magnificent  center 
with  auditoriums,  museums,  conference  rooms  and  offices. 

The  Oxford  Conference  was  held  at  Merton  College,  the  oldest 
foundation  in  the  university  city,  and  a  most  interesting  place  in 
which  to  meet  and  live.  Members  of  the  conference  occupied  the 
students'  quarters,  while  the  members  of  the  Organizing  Committee 
were  privileged  to  live  in  the  apartments  of  the  Fellows.  The  con- 
ferences were  held  in  the  Great  Hall  where  in  term  time  the  students 
have  their  meals  and  large  college  meetings  are  held.  This  hall, 
dating  from  the  thirteenth  century,  has  mellowed  oak  paneling,  a 
high  beamed  roof,  and  portraits  of  ancient  scholars  and  some  of 
the  more  recent  leaders  upon  the  walls  on  all  sides.  The  dining 
tables  run  in  three  long  rows  and  the  students  sit  on  benches  without 
backs.  At  the  upper  end  of  the  hall,  on  a  platform  raised  a  couple 
of  steps  above  the  hall  level,  is  the  "high  table,"  at  which  the  warden 

42 


and  fellows  eat.  During  the  ten  days  of  the  conference  we  ate  our 
meals  in  this  interesting  room,  and  during  the  meetings  held  there 
the  organizing  committee  occupied  seats  at  the  "high  table." 

Theme  and  Purpose 

The  theme  of  the  conference  was  "The  Place  of  the  Blind  in 
the  Modern  World."  Sponsored  by  the  National  Institute  for  the 
Blind  with  offices  in  London,  and  the  American  Foundation  for  Over- 
seas Blind  with  offices  in  New  York  and  Paris,  much  preliminary 
work  went  into  the  planning  of  the  conference.  A  questionnaire, 
prepared  with  great  care,  was  sent  to  all  the  countries  in  Europe 
and  North  America  which  were  to  participate,  asking  for  factual 
information  about  the  blind  in  the  respective  countries.  This  data 
was  carefully  compiled  and  printed  in  French  and  in  English,  in 
both  ink  print  and  Braille.  With  this  material  in  hand,  it  was  not 
necessary  to  go  into  detail  regarding  conditions  that  existed,  but 
rather  to  direct  consideration  to  future  plans  and  desirable  objec- 
tives. The  purpose  of  the  conference  was,  after  careful  examination 
of  the  material  assembled,  to  set  up  standards  to  be  used  as  guides 
and  objectives  in  establishing  adequate  programs  for  the  adult  blind 
in  countries  throughout  the  world. 

The  procedure  of  the  conference  was  most  interesting  and 
unique.  No  formal  papers  were  read,  and  there  were  no  advance 
assignments  of  topics.  All  of  the  sessions  were  discussions  open 
and  free  to  all  without  much  preliminary  preparation.  The  Organ- 
izing Committee  prepared  in  advance  a  series  of  nine  resolutions. 
These  covered  the  areas  outlined  in  the  reports  from  the  various 
countries  and  were  as  follows: 

Registration,  rehabilitation  and  training,  employment, 
economic  provision,  care  of  the  blind  at  home,  homes  for 
the  blind,  responsibility  for  the  blind,  legislation  for  the 
blind,  special  facilities  for  the  blind  and  education  of  the 
blind. 

At  each  session  one  of  these  resolutions  was  presented  at 
the  opening.  It  was,  as  the  phrase  employed  indicated,  "expounded" 
by  one  person  assigned  in  advance.  After  a  seconder  had  had  a 
few  minutes  to  endorse  the  resolution,  the  whole  matter  was  then 
open  for  discussion,  and  discussion  there  was — friendly,  construc- 
tive, seriously  and  earnestly  presented.  During  this  process,  the 
three  persons  whose  ideas  were  most  representative  of  the  views 
expressed  on  the  floor  were  designated  as  a  drafting  committee. 

43 


Procedure  i^oLLOWED 

Following  each  general  session,  these  small  groups  revised 
the  original  resolutions  so  that  they  represented  the  combined 
thinking  of  the  group,  and  were  put  into  a  form  which  the  com- 
mittee felt  would  be  acceptable  to  all.  This  procedure  was  followed 
throughout  the  sessions  and  at  the  closing  meeting  the  revised 
resolutions  were  brought  in  and  presented.  In  practically  every 
case  they  were  adopted  unanimously,  and  when  the  full  program 
was  presented  it  was  unanimously  endorsed.  The  remarkable  thing 
was  that  this  group,  with  its  varying  nationalities  and  personalities 
could  come  to  full  agreement  on  what  may  be  considered  a  mini- 
mum program  of  work  for  the  blind.  The  word  "minimum"  was 
used  because  a  level,  which  countries  just  starting  work  for  the 
blind  might  be  able  to  attain,  had  to  be  set,  with  the  hope  that 
many  countries  would  go  far  beyond  these  standards  even  as  they 
have  in  some  of  the  nations  represented. 

To  illustrate  how  this  procedure  worked,  let  us  consider  the 
first  resolution,  which,  in  the  original  form,  was  entitled  "Ascer- 
tainment." This,  however,  was  changed  to  "Registration"  because 
that  word  seemed  to  have  a  wider  acceptability.  Under  this  reso- 
lution the  extent  of  blindness  and  a  definition  of  blindness  were 
given  consideration.  Definitions  of  blindness  vary  greatly.  The 
United  States  has  the  only  exactly  worded  definition  in  ophthalmic 
terms,  and  some  of  the  other  countries  were  a  little  bit  amused  at 
our  definiteness.  Most  of  them  preferred  considerable  choice 
involving  personal  and  economic  factors.  It  was  recommended, 
however,  that  steps  be  taken  to  establish  a  standard  definition  of 
blindness  with  international  scope. 

In  regard  to  the  number  of  blind  persons  in  any  country,  it 
was  very  difiicult  to  get  data  which  was  accurate  and  reliable, 
partly  because  of  the  differences  cited  in  regard  to  definition. 
The  countries  reporting  in  the  study,  however,  gave  the  incidences 
of  blindness  which  varied  from  43  per  100,000  in  Belgium  to  300 
in  northern  Ireland.  It  is  interesting  to  observe  that  England  and 
the  United  States  reported  the  same  incidence  175,  while  the 
Scotch,  perhaps  being  somewhat  hardier,  reported  166,  and  for 
reasons  not  explained,  Eire,  reported  233.  The  Teutonic  coun- 
tries reported  a  very  low  ratio,  but  they  have  a  more  rigid  defini- 
tion of  blindness  than  other  countries.  The  Scandinavian  countries 
also  reported  low  ratios  which  may  be  due  to  excellent  programs, 

44 


and  perhaps  a  higher  standard  of  living  and  medical  care  than 
are  found  in  central  and  southern  Europe. 

Observations  and  Approach 

Space  will  not  permit  going  into  detail  in  regard  to  the  other 
resolutions.  However,  several  observations  are  recalled.  Perhaps 
the  outstanding  is  that  in  Europe  whatever  has  been  attained  in 
the  way  of  welfare  of  the  blind  has  been  secured  very  largely 
through  the  blind  themselves.  Most  of  the  delegates  present  from 
Europe  were  blind  men  who  are  devoting  their  lives  to  the  better- 
ment of  their  fellow  sightless.  One  could  not  but  be  impressed 
by  the  ability  and  character  of  these  blind  leaders.  Some  of 
them  in  their  own  countries  were  still  meeting  opposition  on  the 
part  of  sighted  people  to  any  organized  and  effective  program  for 
the  blind,  somewhat  on  the  old  theory  that  the  blind,  like  the 
poor,  are  always  with  us. 

The  approach  to  the  attainment  of  the  objectives  varied  in 
the  different  countries.  Leaders  in  the  war-torn  nations  seemed 
helpless  to  succeed  on  their  own,  and  they  proposed  many  forms 
of  Government  assistance  and  subsidy.  Leaders  from  other  coun- 
tries, however,  were  not  as  keen  for  Government  assistance,  and 
there  were  some  who  were  definitely  against  such  measures  as 
remission  of  taxes  and  other  aspects  which  would  set  the  blind 
aside  as  a  special  class.  Their  concern  was  to  help  the  blind  to 
cope  with  their  problems  as  fully  participating  members  of  the 
community.  Above  all,  there  grew  upon  us,  as  the  days  passed, 
the  realization  that  blindness  is  a  universal  experience  that  can 
be  met  most  successfully  through  international  planning  and  prac- 
tice. All  of  us  went  away  feeling  that  the  problems  presented  by 
blindness  are  common  to  all  nations,  and  must  be  conquered  in 
all  countries. 

The  international  aspect  of  the  conference  could  hardly  be 
escaped  in  a  company  made  up  of  the  representatives  of  seventeen 
nations.  Aspects  of  nationality,  however,  soon  disappeared  as  the 
entire  group  found  a  common  bond  in  the  problem  that  was  being 
considered.  This,  however,  was  strictly  a  European  conference, 
with  representatives  from  the  United  States  and  Canada  partici- 
pating. It  was  thought  inadvisable  in  the  planning  to  reach  over 
into  Asia  or  the  Latin  American  countries,  although  it  is  expected 
that  these  countries  will  be  given  opportunity  for  conference  at 
some  later  time.     The  international  aspect  was  also  strengthened 

45 


by  the  presence  of  a  representative  of  the  United  Nations  from 
the  Geneva  Office,  who  took  an  active  part  in  all  of  the  sessions. 
UNESCO  was  also  ably  represented  by  the  presence  of  the  friend 
of  many,  Sir  Clutha  Mackenzie,  and  it  is  with  these  two  organiza- 
tions that  the  next  steps  must  be  taken  to  implement  the  program 
which  was  agreed  upon  in  the  conference.  To  accomplish  this, 
a  committee  was  formed  to  approach  the  United  Nations  and 
UNESCO  to  interest  them  in  the  problems  of  blindness  and  the 
part  they  may  play  in  its  control,  and  also  to  urge  them  to  pre- 
sent to  the  member  nations,  these  standards  which  each  country 
should  make  every  effort  to  attain. 

Conference  on  Education 

One  of  the  interesting  developments  of  the  conference  was 
the  feeling  that  there  should  be  a  similar  international  gathering, 
the  program  of  which  should  be  devoted  to  the  education  of  the 
young  blind,  in  contrast  to  the  Oxford  Conference,  where  the 
program  considered  only  the  welfare  of  the  adult  blind.  This  led 
to  the  adding  of  the  ninth  resolution  to  the  pre-arranged  eight, 
covered  in  the  Report.  This  resolution  states,  "To  enable  blind 
persons  to  participate  fully  in  the  life  of  the  community  and  to 
contribute  to  its  strength,  blind  persons,  whether  children,  young 
persons  or  adults,  should  be  given  full  opportunity  for  general 
and  vocational  education  in  schools  adequately  equipped  for  the 
education  of  the  blind  and  with  fully  qualified  teachers." 

"The  conference  puts  on  record  its  conviction  that  every  na- 
tional system  of  education  should  insure  to  all  blind  children 
education  according  to  their  interests  and  aptitudes,  at  least  equal 
to  that  which  they  would  have  received  if  they  had  not  been  blind." 

Among  the  representatives  there  were  a  dozen  connected  with 
schools  for  the  blind,  and  this  small  group  had  several  meetings 
on  problems  of  mutual  interest.  The  outcome  of  these  meetings 
was  the  formulation  of  the  resolution  just  quoted  and  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  committee  to  inquire  into  the  possibility  of  an  inter- 
national educational  meeting  with  power  to  convene  a  conference 
if  adequate  arrangements  can  be  made.  It  has  been  proposed  that 
this  conference  be  held  in  the  summer  of  1951.  The  Director  of 
Perkins  Institution  was  appointed  chairman  of  this  convening  com- 
mittee, with  other  members  representing  the  United  Kingdom, 
France,  Finland,  Austria,  Holland  and  Italy. 

46 


Attending  international  conferences  is  an  educational  experi- 
ence, particularly  to  Americans  who  are  usually  one  language 
people.  Conducting  meetings  where  several  languages  are  involved 
presents  interesting  difficulties,  but  the  most  interesting  aspect 
is  the  methods  by  which  they  are  overcome.  The  two  conferences 
I  attended  this  summer  are  perhaps  illustrations,  and  because  they 
were  both  relatively  small,  they  make  one  marvel  all  the  more 
as  to  how  great  gatherings  like  the  United  Nations  ever  accom- 
plish anything  or  get  anywhere. 

Conference  at  Amsterdam 

The  Amsterdam  Conference  was  a  four  language  conference. 
The  program  had  every  statement  printed  in  Dutch,  French,  German 
and  English.  Each  person  took  his  choice  according  to  his 
linguistic  ability.  At  these  meetings  there  was  no  organized 
translation  nor  was  there  any  use  of  the  communication  systems 
used  in  many  gatherings.  This  program,  however,  was  made  up 
of  prepared  papers  and  the  writer  of  each  paper  had  to  submit  in 
advance  a  summary  of  his  paper.  These  summaries  were  printed, 
each  in  four  languages,  and  they  were  given  to  those  attending 
the  conferences.  It  was  interesting  to  learn  when,  for  example, 
I  was  listening  to  a  paper  in  French  or  German,  how  much  could 
be  understood  by  following  the  English  translation.  I  did  not 
do  as  well  with  the  Dutch.  At  the  question  period  there  was 
always  someone  who  was  able  to  translate  informally  questions 
and  answers,  so  that  that  conference  worked  out  quite  satisfactorily 
under  that  plan. 

The  Oxford  Conference,  was  a  two  language  conference.  Be- 
cause most  Europeans  speak  fluently  three  or  four  languages  it 
was  possible  to  conduct  the  sessions  at  Oxford  in  English  and 
French.  For  those  who  did  not  understand  English,  (all  but  one 
did  understand  French),  one  of  the  long  tables  in  the  Great  Hall 
was  equipped  with  earphones,  and  there,  all  those  who  wished  to 
hear  the  discussions  in  French,  sat  and  listened  as  the  English 
presentation  was  translated  simultaneously  through  a  microphone 
placed  before  the  interpreter  at  the  "high  table."  When  the 
speaking  was  in  French,  however,  the  translation  had  to  be  by 
paragraphs.  The  person  speaking  French  would  complete  a  thought, 
and  an  interpreter  would  translate  it  into  English.  This  slowed 
down  the  proceedings  somewhat,  but  it  did  give  time  to  think  and 
it  did  take  away  a  good  deal  of  the  semblance  of  haste  which 

47 


characterizes  our  American  meetings.  Even  those  who  were  speak- 
ing in  English,  which  was  translated  simultaneously,  had  to  speak 
more  slowly  than  normally,  with  greater  clarity,  and  with  particular 
care  to  avoid  phrases  which  might  be  difficult  to  translate. 

The  proceedings  of  the  Amsterdam  Conference  and  of  the 
Oxford  Conference  are  to  be  published  in  both  French  and  English. 
They  will  be  valuable  documents  pertaining  to  our  field,  fully 
covered  at  the  Oxford  Conference,  and  in  a  smaller  way  at  the 
Congress  in  Amsterdam  which  included  many  disabilities. 

In  making  this  report  to  the  Trustees  and  the  Corporation,  I 
want  to  express  my  great  appreciation  of  their  permission  to 
attend  and  to  participate  in  these  conferences,  both  for  the  per- 
sonal benefit  derived  and  the  happy  satisfaction  of  the  wide  prestige 
attributed  to  Perkins.

Each  student  had  a  physical  examination,  urinalysis,  hemo- 
globin and  height  and  weight  measurements  every  three  months. 

All  new  staff  members  and  every  student  had  an  x-ray  for 
tuberculosis. 

All  new  students  who  had  not  been  vaccinated  were  immunized 
against  smallpox,  diphtheria,  pertussis  and  tetanus.  Wassermann 
tests  were  done  on  all  new  pupils. 

Widals  and  stool  cultures  were  done  on  all  food  handlers  not 
having  had  the  test  before  at  Perkins  Institution. 

Sixty-nine  visits  were  made  to  the  Massachusetts  General 
Hospital  and  eight  visits  to  other  special  clinics. 

Although  we  had  the  beginning  of  two  epidemics  of  mumps  at 
different  times  during  the  year,  most  of  the  sickness  was  due  to 
colds,  sore  throats  and  intestinal  disturbances.  In  the  Spring  we 
were  unfortunate  in  having  a  number  of  rather  severe  sore  throats, 
with  forty-eight  children  in  bed  at  the  peak.

ments of  two  percent  fluorine.  This  treatment  is  expected  to 
reduce  cavities  in  the  teeth  by  about  forty  percent.  Time  did  not 
permit  the  treatment  to  be  applied  to  a  larger  number.

PHYSICAL  THERAPY  DEPARTMENT 

The  Physical  Therapy  Department,  with  the  cooperation  of 
the  Physical  Education  Department,  provided  weekly  posture 
classes  for  all  the  children  in  the  Lower  School  this  year.  Indi- 
vidual schedules  were  arranged  for  those  pupils  who  needed  extra 
work  or  more  specialized  training.  All  the  students  received  ultra- 
violet treatments  throughout  the  winter  months.  This  year  the 
Physical  Therapy  Department  offered  an  introductory  training 
course  in  massage  as  a  vocation.  There  were  twenty-two  visits 
made  to  the  orthopedic  clinic  at  the  Massachusetts  General  Hospi- 
tal,   Eight  children  were  fitted  to  arch  plates  and  pads.

WORKSHOP  FOR  ADULTS 

THE  WORKSHOP  is  pleased  to  offer  a  report  for  1949  which 
gives  some  indication  of  progress  and  forecasts  continued 
development  for  the  period  to  follow.  We  look  back  on  a  year  of 
increased  activity  in  the  various  departments,  and  gratefully  ac- 
knowledge the  patronage  of  the  many  customers,  old  and  new,  who 
have  made  this  possible.  It  has  been  our  privilege  to  serve,  this 
year  as  in  the  past,  many  individuals  as  well  as  institutions  whose 
loyal  support  throughout  the  years  has  been  a  contributory  factor 
in  the  successful  operation  of  the  Workshop  Department. 

Our  outstanding  order  came  from  Massachusetts  Institute  of 
Technology  for  whom  we  made  355  new  inner  spring  and  hair 
mattresses  and  374  feather  pillows.  These  were  installed  in  Tech's 
new  modern  Senior  House.  The  order  was  especially  welcome  to 
offset  a  decline  in  orders  for  renovating,  due  largely  to  reduced 
promotional  effort  during  the  last  few  years. 

The  new  management  realizes  the  need  for  a  more  compre- 
hensive industrial  program  in  1950,  and  is  planning  accordingly. 
This  includes  apprentice  training,  regaining  lost  ground  in  mattress 
renovating,  greater  production  of  new  bedding,  in  addition  to  en- 
larging our  territorial  coverage.  This  will  make  available  to  a 
much  larger  clientele  the  very  excellent  Workshop  facilities  at  our 
disposal. 

So  it  is  with  pride  and  some  satisfaction  that  we  view  our  ac- 
complishments and  confidently  accept  the  challenge  of  the  future. 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  work  done  and  wages  paid 
in  the  Workshop  Department  during  the  fiscal  years  1948  and  1949 :

STATEMENT  OF  ACCOUNTS 

To  the  Trustees  of 

Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind 
Boston,  Massachusetts 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  Institution  and 
Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind  (not  including  Howe  Memorial 
Press  Fund)  as  of  August  31,  1949  and  the  related  statements  of  Reserve 
Fund  for  Depreciation,  of  income  and  expenses  and  of  income  and 
expenses  of  the  Works  Department,  all  for  the  year  then  ended.  We  have 
also  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  as  of 
August  31,  1949  and  the  related  statement  of  income  and  expenses  for 
the  year  then  ended.  Our  examination  was  made  in  accordance  with 
generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  and  accordingly  included  such 
tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such  other  auditing  procedures  as 
we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances. 

We  received  confirmation  from  depositaries  with  respect  to  the 
investment  securities  recorded  as  owned  by  the  Institution  and  by  the 
Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  as  of  August  31,  1949,  audited  all  changes 
in  investments  during  the  year  then  ended  and  satisfied  ourselves  that 
investment  income  receivable  during  the  year  was  duly  received. 

As  at  August  31,  1949  the  Trustees  voted  to  charge  the  deficit  for 
the  year  then  ended  ($39,921.18),  against  the  Reserve  Fund  for  Depre- 
ciation  (Exhibit  B). 

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present 
fairly  the  position  of  the  Institution  and  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press 
Fund  at  August  31,  1949  and  the  results  of  their  operations  for  the 
fiscal  year  then  ended.

PERKINS  INSTITUTION 

HISTORY 

IN  1826  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher  returned  to  Boston  from  Paris  resolved  to  provide  for 
the  blind  of  Massachusetts  the  same  care  afforded  them  in  France.  Enlisting 
the  aid  of  friends,  a  committee  was  formed  and  upon  petition  to  the  Legislature 
an  Act  of  Incorporation  was  granted  on  March  2,  1829,  establishing  "The  New  England 
Asylum  for  the  Blind,"  the  first  school  in  America  for  those  without  sight.  In  1831 
Dr.  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  just  returned  from  participation  in  the  Greek  wars,  was 
elected  the  first  director,  and  in  August,  1832,  the  first  classes  were  held  in  the  house 
of  Dr.  Howe's  father  on  Pleasant  Street. 

During  the  early  years  Col.  Thomas  H.  Perkins  became  interested  in  the  little 
school  and  gave  for  its  use  his  large  house  on  Pearl  Street.  The  need  for  larger  quarters 
was  soon  apparent,  and  in  1839  the  great  hotel  in  South  Boston  was  purchased.  This 
purchase  was  made  possible  by  the  assent  of  Colonel  Perkins  to  the  sale  of  the  house 
that  he  had  given  to  the  School.  Because  of  this  magnanimous  attitude  of  Colonel 
Perkins  the  Trustees  renamed  the  school  "Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts 
Asylum  for  the  Blind."  This  name  was  changed  in  1877  to  the  present  name,  "Perkins 
Institution  and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind." 

Dr.  Howe  directed  the  growing  work  of  Perkins  Institution  for  forty  years  and 
was  succeeded  in  1876  by  his  Greek  protege  and  son-in-law,  Michael  Anagnos.  Mr. 
Anagnos  created  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  for  publishing  embossed  books  and  for 
the  manufacture  of  appliances  for  education  of  the  blind.  In  1887  he  founded  the 
Kindergarten  in  Jamaica  Plain,  the  first  school  in  the  world  for  little  blind  children. 
After  thirty  years  of  leadership  Mr.  Anagnos  died  in  Rumania  in  1906. 

In  1907  the  directorship  of  Perkins  Institution  feU  to  Edward  E.  AUen,  head  of 
the  school  for  the  blind  in  Philadelphia,  where  he  had  just  rebuilt  the  school  plant 
on  a  garden  site  outside  of  the  city.  Coming  to  Boston,  Mr.  AUen  began  plans  for 
a  new  Perkins,  and  in  1912  the  Institution  and  in  1913  the  Kindergarten  were  housed 
in  the  beautiful  new  plant  at  Watertown.  These  buildings,  situated  on  an  old  estate 
of  thirty-four  acres  on  the  banks  of  the  Charles  River,  have  school  and  residence 
facilities  for  nearly  three  hundred  pupils.  Dr.  Allen  retired  in  1931.  His  last  official 
act  was  to  write  the  one  hundredth  annual  report.  Thus  for  a  century  Perkins  Institu- 
tion  had  but  three  directors. 

PURPOSE 

Perkins  Institution  provides  for  the  visually  handicapped  youth  of  New  England 
full  educational  opportunity  from  Kindergarten  through  High  School.  The  content 
of  instruction  corresponds  with  that  offered  to  seeing  boys  and  girls  in  the  public 
schools.  The  methods  of  instruction  of  necessity  differ.  Principal  differences  are 
that  embossed  books  take  the  place  of  ink  print,  and  studies  are  taught  objectively. 
In  the  adaptation  and  invention  of  means  of  instructing  the  blind,  Perkins  has  been 
a  pioneer  through  its  century  of  existence.  Much  attention  is  paid  to  physical  and 
manual  training  and  to  music.  Opportunity  is  provided  for  those  qualified  to  pursue 
higher  studies  or  take  advanced  work  in  music  and  vocational  fields. 

Boys  and  girls  without  sight  or  with  insufficient  sight  to  read  ink-print  are  ad- 
mitted as  pupils,  if  capable  of  education  and  in  good  health.  While  at  the  school  pupils 
reside  in  cottages  where  the  teachers  also  live,  and  through  this  association  they  acquire 
that  unconscious  tuition  which  is  such  an  important  part  of  the  program  of  socializa- 
tion. The  primary  aim  of  Perkins  Institution  is  to  qualify  its  visually  handicapped 
pupils  to  take  contributory  places  in  normal  life.  New  pupils  are  admitted  in  September 
and  February,  and  all  pupils  must  return  to  their  homes  for  the  short  vacations  at 
Christmas  and  Easter  and  for  the  long  vacation  in  the  summer.

REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES 

November  6,  1950 

THE  ANNUAL  REPORT  for  the  academic  year  1949-1950  is 
herewith  submitted  on  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

Five  of  our  teachers  retired  in  June,  these  five  teachers  between 
them  having  contributed  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  of 
service  to  the  School.  The  efficient  and  sympathetic  guidance  to  its 
pupils  on  which  the  reputation  of  Perkins  has  rested  for  many  years 
is  due  in  great  measure  to  loyalty  and  devotion  of  this  character. 
Our  junior  staff  members  work  under  the  direction  of  the  heads 
of  the  several  departments.  Many  of  the  staff,  both  junior  and 
senior,  are  career  teachers  planning  to  devote  their  lives  to  the  insti- 
tution. The  Trustees,  at  the  outset  of  this  report,  wish  to  express 
their  gratefulness  to  all  Perkins  teachers,  and  particularly,  this 
year,  to  Miss  Genevieve  M.  Haven  (1912-1950),  Mrs.  Jessie  W. 
Mayshark  (1933-1950),  Miss  Susan  E.  Morse  (1927-1950),  Miss 
Feodore  M.  Nicholls  (1915-1950)  and  Miss  Elsie  H.  Simonds  (1908- 
1950). 

Dr.  Edward  Ellis  Allen,  our  Director  Emeritus,  died  on  April 
14th.  The  Trustees,  at  their  June  meeting,  adopted  a  resolution 
which  attempted  to  express  their  appreciation  of  his  years  of 
leadership;  this  resolution  is  printed  in  the  Annual  Report.  Words 
cannot  express  what  he  did  for  the  School  or  the  sense  of  loss 
which  the  Trustees  now  feel. 

The  year  has  gone  quickly.  At  present  we  are  in  a  cycle 
wherein  the  age  of  our  student  population  is  changing;  next  year 
there  will  be  few  older  children  and  a  great  increase  in  the  popula- 
tion of  younger  ones.  This  necessitates  changes  in  space  allotment 
as  well  as  changes  in  curriculum  for  which  the  Director  is  planning 
most  wisely. 

The  buildings  and  grounds  have  been  rehabilitated  to  a  large 
extent  and  several  most  urgent  repairs  have  been  completed.  The 
process  of  complete  rehabilitation  of  the  entire  plant  is  being  ac- 
complished gradually  and  according  to  a  well  developed  program, 
but  the  progress  already  made  has  been  striking. 

The  reports  of  the  Treasurer  and  of  the  Director  bear  careful 
study.  On  the  one  hand  the  Treasurer  points  out  our  needs  for 
new  funds  and  on  the  other  the  Director  describes  the  School's 
protean  activities. 

Perkins  continues  to  be  known,  both  nationally  and  interna- 
tionally, as  one  of  the  leading  schools  for  young  people  with  visual 
difficulties.  During  the  past  year  visitors  have  come  to  study  our 
methods  from  such  distant  countries  as  Siam,  the  Philippine  Islands. 
Guatamala,  The  Netherlands,  France  and  from  schools  like  our 

14 


own  which  are  closer  at  hand:  North  Carolina,  Michigan,  Iowa, 
Illinois  and  the  State  of  Washington.  That  our  School  is  a  source 
of  aid  in  so  many  different  regions  is  gratifying.  More  than  this, 
however,  it  reveals  our  responsibility  to  so  maintain  the  operation 
of  the  School  that  it  holds  its  position  of  leadership  in  its  field  of 
work. 

During  the  past  year,  besides  Dr.  Allen,  other  members  of  the 
Corporation  whom  Perkins  has  lost  through  death  are :  Mr.  Francis 
B.  Crowninshield,  Mr.  Richmond  Mayo-Smith,  Honorable  Frank  G. 
Allen  and  Mrs.  Horatio  A.  Lamb. 

The  Institution  will  always  remain  deeply  grateful  for  their 
interest  and  aid. 

Respectfully  submitted  for  the  Trustees, 

Reginald  Fitz,  M.D.,  President.

REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 

THE  YEAR  COVERED  BY  THIS  REPORT  closed  academically 
June  20 — fiscally  and  officially  August  31,  1950.  The  academic 
termination  was  later  than  usual  because  the  opening  of  school 
had  been  delayed  one  week  by  the  extensive  repair  program  of  the 
previous  summer,  a  pattern  being  followed  this  present  year  for 
the  same  reason.  The  normal  scheme  of  opening  was  followed, 
however — ^the  matrons  returning  on  September  11  to  engage 
domestics,  open  the  houses  and  make  ready  to  receive  the  staff 
members  who  came  back  on  Monday,  September  18.  The  pupils 
returned  the  following  day  and  classes  were  resumed  for  the  119th 
year  on  Wednesday,  September  20. 

Looking  back,  the  year  seems  to  have  been  an  uneventful  and 
uninterrupted  period,  which  is  perhaps  the  best  indication  of 
efficient,  smooth  operation.  The  two  most  significant  aspects  were: 
first — the  large  number  of  pupils,  blind  from  a  new  cause,  who 
applied  for  admission  in  the  lower  grades  at  the  beginning  of  the 
year;  and  second — the  small  number  of  resignations  among  teachers 
at  the  end  of  the  year,  even  if  we  include  those  who  reached 
retiring  age. 

While  the  total  number  of  pupils  enrolled  last  year,  averaging 
237,  was  about  the  same  as  the  year  before,  the  distribution 
differed.  A  reduced  enrollment  over  a  number  of  years  has  resulted 
in  a  smaller  number  of  pupils  in  the  upper  grades.  This  year 
there  was  a  large  increase  in  the  number  admitted  to  the  kin- 
dergarten and  early  grades.  These  were  largely  children  whose 
blindness  is  due  to  premature  birth.  The  significance  of  this  group 
is  further  emphasized  by  the  fact  that  at  the  opening  of  the  pre- 
sent year,  September,  1950,  fifty-four  of  these  children  will  be 
admitted.  The  acceptance  of  so  many  new  pupils  in  the  early 
grades  has  necessitated  changes  in  the  pattern  of  our  housing  and 
the  academic  program.  Because  further  adaptation  will  be  required 
in  the  next  few  years,  it  might  be  well  to  make  a  statement  regard- 
ing this  situation. 

The  technical  name  of  the  visual  impairment  found  in  children 
who  are  born  more  than  two  months  prematurely  and  who  weigh 
less  than  three  pounds,  is  Retrolental  Fibroplasia.     A  translation 

17 


of  this  name  describes  the  cause  of  impaired  vision — a  fibrous  mesh 
behind  the  lens.  This  type  of  blindness  was  first  diagnosed  and 
named  by  Dr.  Theodore  L.  Terry  in  1945.  Perkins  has  from  the 
outset  been  in  close  contact  with  the  development  of  assistance  for 
these  children,  having  seen  and  helped  with  the  planning  of  a 
program  for  the  first  child  thus  diagnosed.  Two  summer  institutes 
held  in  1945  and  1946  were  planned  especially  for  this  group  of 
blind  babies  and  their  mothers.  Thus  Perkins  was  able  to  meet 
some  of  the  problems  of  these  children  at  an  early  age.  These 
problems  are  now  being  put  more  directly  in  our  hands  as  the 
children  are  coming  to  school  age. 

A  significant  fact  about  this  form  of  blindness  is  that  the 
incidence  varies  in  different  parts  of  the  country.  Here  in  New 
England  approximately  250  children  under  seven  years  of  age  have 
been  thus  diagnosed.  In  a  few  other  sections  of  the  country  there 
is  almost  as  high  a  ratio  while  in  some  cities  with  medical  facilities 
comparable  to  Boston  the  ratio  is  much  smaller.  Until  this  past 
summer,  no  cases  had  been  reported  in  England.  The  number  of 
prematurely  born  children  seems  to  be  increasing  due  to  improved 
methods  of  caring  for  these  babies  most  of  whom,  a  decade  or  more 
ago,  would  not  have  survived.  A  recent  study  of  the  problem 
indicated  that  of  these  premature  babies  approximately  one  out  of 
twelve  is  visually  handicapped. 

Seeking  Cause  of  Blindness 

Dr.  Terry  was  energetic  in  securing  funds  to  set  up  a  program 
of  research  to  try  to  determine  the  cause  and  thereby  to  reduce 
this  form  of  blindness.  Under  the  sponsorship  of  the  Foundation 
for  Vision,  Inc.,  founded  by  Dr.  Terry,  a  research  program  has  been 
conducted  since  1946  at  the  Massachusetts  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary. 
Effective  research  is  also  being  carried  on  at  several  medical  centers 
throughout  the  country.  The  one  encouraging  thing  about  this  type 
of  blindness  is  that  if  research  can  discover  the  cause  and  prevent  it, 
there  is  hope  that  the  numbers  of  these  children  will  be  reduced  in 
the  future.  How  soon  this  may  be  no  one  knows,  but  on  several 
occasions  the  researchers  have  seemed  to  be  on  the  verge  of  the 
hoped-for  solution.  In  the  meantime  Perkins  and  other  schools  for 
the  blind  are  confronted  with  the  immediate  task  of  providing  an 
educational  program  for  the  retrolentals  whose  sight  is  gone  and  for 
whom  there  is  no  hope  of  recovery. 

18 


While  the  increase  in  the  number  of  children  blinded  by 
Retrolental  Fibroplasia  will  affect  the  prevailing  incidence  of 
blindness  throughout  the  country,  there  is  considerable  evidence 
that  the  extent  of  blindness  among  children  will  not  exceed  the  peak 
of  former  years.  As  evidence,  consider  the  enrollment  at  Perkins 
since  1930.  In  that  year  there  were  275  pupils  enrolled.  The  peak 
at  Perkins  was  reached  in  1934  with  276  pupils.  In  1939  there 
were  247  and  in  1949,  237.  The  national  situation  is  reflected  in 
the  range  of  enrollments  in  all  of  the  schools  for  the  blind,  as 
reported  annually  by  the  American  Printing  House  for  the  Blind. 
In  1930  total  enrollment  was  5,770.  The  peak  in  the  national  scene 
was  1939  with  6,031  pupils  enrolled,  with  a  decline  from  that  figure 
to  5,606  as  of  January  1,  1950.  This  last  figure  may  need  some 
revision  because  during  the  past  decade,  with  a  decreasing  popula- 
tion in  the  schools,  there  has  been  a  tendency  to  bring  into  or  to 
retain  in  schools  for  the  blind  children  not  legally  blind  but  who 
come  within  the  classification  of  partially  sighted.  The  American 
Printing  House  report  for  the  current  year  required  a  separation 
of  these  groups  and  the  listing  only  of  those  who  are  legally  blind. 
This  figure  was  5,014,  a  reduction  of  more  than  10%  of  the  en- 
rollment previously  cited. 

Fluctuations  in  Enrollment 

In  the  next  few  years  the  number  of  admissions  undoubtedly 
will  increase,  due  to  the  influx  of  retrolentals,  but  the  total  picture 
indicated  that  decrease  through  prevention  should  keep  ahead  of 
the  increase.  Other  factors  cause  fluctuation  in  statistics.  The 
peak  enrollment  in  all  schools  in  this  country  came  in  1939, 
coinciding  with  the  peak  in  schools  for  the  blind.  The  increase  in 
births  following  World  War  II  offset  the  decline  since  1939,  resulting 
in  the  children  now  crowding  the  elementary  schools.  This  increase 
is  also  reflected  in  the  seeming  increase  of  blindness  among  school 
age  children  and  is  supplemented  by  the  number  of  pupils  blinded 
because  of  prematurity.  If  the  means  are  found  to  eliminate  this 
cause  of  blindness,  and  there  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  this 
will  come,  enrollment  in  schools  for  the  blind  should  resume  the 
downward  trend  which  made  us  happy  in  the  decade  from  1939  to 
1949. 

Our  enrollment  as  of  November  1,  1950  was  247  compared  with 
237  a  year  ago.    During  the  year  49  pupils  completed  their  work 

19 


and  were  discharged.  The  reasons  for  discharge  were— graduated 
19 ;  completed  scholarship  1 ;  completed  other  training  6 ;  transferred 
to  public  schools  or  sight  saving  classes  15;  ceased  to  progress 
5;  withdrew  on  account  of  illness  3.  The  247  pupils  enrolled  on 
November  1,  1950  are  divided  as  follows :  Massachusetts  145 ;  Maine 
27;  New  Hampshire  16;  Vermont  18;  Rhode  Island  21  and  from 
other  states  16.  This  year  there  are  4  students  from  three  foreign 
countries— China,  Greece  and  Argentina,  and  from  the  following 
states  outside  of  New  England :  Alabama,  Colorado,  Louisiana,  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  North  Carolina,  Tennessee,  Utah,  Virginia, 
Washington  and  West  Virginia. 

Staff  Changes 

Reference  was  made  in  last  year's  report  to  the  resignation  as 
of  September  1,  1949  of  Allan  W.  Sherman,  Principal  for  seven 
years.    At  that  time  Mr.  Sherman  became  Director  of  the  Cleveland 
Society  for  the  Blind,  a  position  which  he  is  filling  ably.    The  previ- 
ous report  also  indicated  the  distribution  of  Mr.  Sherman's  duties 
among  present  members  of  the  staff.  Beginning  in  September,  1949, 
Orin  A.  Stone,  for  four  years  a  teacher  in  the  Upper  School,  and 
for  nine  years  prior  to  that  Principal  of  the  Connecticut  School  for 
the  Blind,  became  Acting  Principal  and  Dean  of  Faculty,  with 
responsibility  for  curriculum  planning,  supervision  of  teachers  and 
general  charge  of  the  academic  program  throughout  the  school. 
Benjamin  F.  Smith,  for  twelve  years  a  teacher  at  Perkins,  was 
appointed  Dean  of  Boys,  a  new  position,  and  took  charge  of  boys' 
activities  outside  the  classroom  and  the  supervision  of  all  mat- 
ters within  the  cottages  and  in  the  playground  program.     These 
duties  correspond  largely  with  those  carried  by  Dr.  Alice  M.  Carpen- 
ter as  Dean  of  Girls.     This  gave  a  well-rounded  distribution  of 
duties  in  the  Upper  School  and  permitted  Mr.  Smith  to  have  more 
time  for  personal  interest  in  the  boys  and  opportunity  to  discuss 
problems  with  them  than  Mr.  Sherman  was  able  to  give  because 
of  his  many  other  responsibilities.    Supervision  of  the  Lower  School 
was  assigned  to  Miss  Shirley  A.  Drucker,  who  had  been  a  teacher 
for  two  years  and  who  had  developed  and  proved  her  competence 
to  undertake  these  extra  duties.     This  program  has  worked  out 
happily  and  is  perhaps  one  of  the  factors  in  the  routine  and  smooth 
operation  of  the  school  this  past  year.    The  plan  will  be  continued 
for  the  coming  year. 

20 


A  significant  fact  regarding  staff  changes  at  the  close  of  the 
year  was  that  only  twelve  persons  terminated  their  work  at  Perkins, 
of  whom  five  retired  under  the  Retirement  Plan  inaugurated  in 
1932.  The  five  retiring  teachers  had  given  to  Perkins  152  years 
of  teaching  service.  They  are:  Miss  Elsie  H.  Simonds,  for  forty- 
two  years  teacher  and  former  principal  in  the  Girls'  Upper  School; 
Miss  Genevieve  M.  Haven,  for  thirty-eight  years  teacher  of  English 
in  the  Upper  School;  Miss  Feodore  F.  Nichols,  for  thirty-one  years 
teacher  in  the  Lower  School;  Miss  Susan  E.  Morse,  for  twenty- 
four  years  teacher  in  the  Lower  School;  and  Mrs.  Jessie  W.  May- 
shark,  for  seventeen  years  a  teacher  in  the  Lower  School.  Mrs. 
Mayshark  retired  prior  to  the  stated  age,  due  to  ill  health.  All  of 
these  women  are  entitled  to  the  highest  commendation  for  their 
many  years  of  devoted  and  loyal  service  to  Perkins. 

Retirements  and  Replacements 
Other  teachers  who  terminated  their  connection  with  Perkins 
were:  Edward  J.  Jusczyk,  director  of  Physical  Education;  Derick 
V.  Willson,  teacher  of  Social  Studies;  and  Christos  C.  Pappas, 
teacher  of  Science,  all  in  the  Upper  School.  In  the  Lower  School 
Miss  J.  Elizabeth  Andrews,  kindergartner  resigned;  and  Miss 
Patricia  Vogel,  a  teacher  for  five  years,  left  to  marry  Eduardo 
Ordonez,  a  young  Mexican  who  had  been  a  student  at  Perkins  for 
five  years  and  was  graduated  in  June. 

In  the  business  office  Mrs.  Elizabeth  North  was  replaced  in 
October  by  Mrs.  Phyllis  Smith  who  resigned  in  June  and  was  suc- 
ceeded by  Miss  Marion  I.  Lamb.  Two  matrons  terminated  their 
work  in  June:  Mrs.  Charles  Amadon,  for  one  year  matron  of 
Tompkins  Cottage  and  Mrs.  F.  B.  Robison,  two  years  assistant 
matron  and  two  years  acting  matron  of  Bradlee  Cottage,  Miss 
Fanny  Durfee,  matron  of  Moulton  Cottage,  was  transferred  to  the 
new  May  Cottage  unit  as  assistant  matron. 

New  staff  members  for  the  year  beginning  September  1950 
are:  Felicitas  M.  Benziger,  University  of  Geneva  '49,  Alice  Batchel- 
der,  Briarcliff  Jr.  College  '47,  Thelma  M.  Johnsen,  Hillyer  College 
'50,  in  the  Kindergarten;  Louise  R.  Bergfels,  Newark,  N.  J.  Normal 
School  '19,  Marjorie  A.  Lagemann,  Oberlin  College  '50,  Eunice 
Werner,  Wellesley  College  '50,  Elsie  M.  Parmenter,  Framingham 
Teachers  College  '26  in  the  Primary  Department;  and  Wilma 
Wichern,  St.  Lawrence  University  '49,  Florentina  C.  Gonzalez,  Insti- 
tute National  of  Secondary  Education,  Barcelona,  Spain  '30,  Richard 

21 


R.  Hull,  University  of  Connecticut  '50  in  the  Intermediate  Depart- 
ment. In  the  Upper  School  —  A.  Claude  Ellis,  Boston  University 
'50,  Physical  Education;  Vahram  Kashmanian,  Boston  University 
'50,  Social  Studies;  Carl  J.  Davis,  Clark  University  '50,  Science, 
and  Mary  Kay  Mailers,  MacMurray  College  '50,  English. 

An  interesting  point  about  these  new  appointments,  especially 
those  in  the  Lower  School,  is  that  six  of  them  were  selected  from 
candidates  for  the  Harvard  Class.  When,  toward  the  end  of  the 
year,  applications  for  new  pupils  in  the  lower  grades  increased 
to  such  an  extent  that  it  was  found  necessary  to  engage  additional 
kindergarten  teachers,  it  seemed  only  reasonable  to  give  first  op- 
portunity to  those  who  had  indicated  an  interest  in  this  special 
field  by  enrolling  in  our  teacher  training  program.  Therefore, 
as  many  as  possible  of  the  new  positions  were  filled  from  candidates 
for  this  course.  All  of  these  persons  will  take  the  full  work  of  the 
Harvard  Course  necessary  to  meet  the  requirements  for  credit  at 
Harvard.  They  will  not,  however,  have  as  large  an  opportunity 
as  former  classes  for  extensive  observation  and  specialized  work, 
which  has  in  recent  years  richly  supplemented  the  required  course 
of  study  and  reading. 

The  Harvard  Class 

This  situation  regarding  the  Harvard  Class  will  cause  a  change 
in  the  conduct  of  the  course  during  the  coming  year.  Instead  of 
being  a  full  year  of  extensive  study  and  observation,  the  program 
will  fall  in  line  with  what  is  commonly  called  "on  the  job  training." 
Three  members  of  the  present  teaching  staflf  have  enrolled  for 
the  course  this  coming  year  and  all  new  teachers  are  being 
requested  to  take  as  much  of  the  work  as  possible  either  for  credit 
or  as  auditors.  There  have  been  a  large  number  of  applications 
for  the  Harvard  Class  for  the  coming  year  and  it  will  continue 
to  cover  a  wide  geographical  area.  There  will  be  representatives 
from  England,  China,  Germany,  Haiti,  India,  Iran,  Italy  and  the 
Philippines. 

This  year's  Harvard  Class  was  one  of  the  best  since  the  war, 
including  representatives  from  Brazil,  Mexico,  Spain  and  Switzer- 
land, and  a  young  woman  from  Germany  who  arrived  January  1 
for  a  full  year  of  study.  The  others  in  the  group  which  totalled 
fifteen  were  from  various  parts  of  the  United  States.  All  were  college 
graduates  and  nearly  all  have  undertaken  work  in  schools  for  the 

22 


blind.  One  young  man  in  the  class  transferred  to  Harvard  at  the 
end  of  the  first  semester  to  take  full  time  work  leading  toward  a 
Master's  degree.  Three  persons  entered  the  class  at  the  beginning 
of  the  second  semester  and  will  continue  through  the  first  half  of 
the  coming  year. 

The  Harvard  Class  this  year  had  the  privilege  of  a  series  of 
lectures  by  Dr.  Richard  S.  French,  who  until  January  1,  1949  was 
Principal  of  the  California  School  for  the  Blind  and  lecturer  on 
Educational  Psychology  at  the  University  of  California.  Dr.  French, 
author  of  one  of  the  outstanding  books  on  the  education  of  the 
blind,  From  Homer  to  Helen  Keller,  was  invited  to  be  visiting 
lecturer  and  was  in  residence  at  Perkins  during  the  fall  months 
through  December.  The  presence  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  French  in  the 
life  of  the  school  was  a  happy  experience.  Dr.  French,  an  author- 
ity on  Spanish  culture,  gave  for  the  benefit  of  the  school,  three  de- 
lightful lectures  on  Spanish  poetry  with  a  number  of  translations 
which  he  had  made.  He  also  talked  to  the  staif  on  several  occasions 
and  to  the  whole  school  at  morning  assemblies. 

Having  reviewed  the  significant  points  pertaining  to  the  en- 
rollment of  pupils,  the  staff  changes  and  the  Harvard  Class,  it  would 
seem  appropriate  now  to  mention  some  of  the  events  in  which  these 
groups  were  jointly  involved.  As  previously  stated,  classes  were 
resumed  on  Wednesday,  September  20.  The  staff  had  returned  on 
Monday,  the  18th  and  on  that  evening  the  Director  set  forth  the 
plans  projected  for  the  coming  year  and  gave  a  brief  review  of 
his  activities  in  Europe  during  the  summer.  The  remainder  of 
September  was  relatively  routine,  teachers  and  pupils  adjusting 
to  the  schedules  prepared  during  the  summer. 

f;  The  Year  in  Review 

On  the  weekend  of  October  first  and  second  nearly  all  the  pupils 
went  away  to  the  retreats  provided  by  the  Catholic  Guild  and  confer- 
ences offered  by  the  Protestant  Guild  for  the  Blind.  Similar  retreats 
and  conferences  were  held  in  the  spring  over  the  weekend  of  May 
6.  These  events  provide  valuable  opportunities  for  our  pupils 
to  meet  and  confer  with  leaders  in  the  religious  field  and  are  very 
helpful  factors  in  their  spiritual  development.  Perkins  is  indebted 
to  the  organizations  which  provide  these  opportunities.  The  two 
Guilds  and  the  Boston  Aid  for  Blind  Inc.,  for  Jewish  children,  make 
provision  for  religious  instruction  which  is  offered  on  released  time 
every  Thursday  afternoon  during  the  year  from  October  through 


23 


I 


May.  All  three  organizations  are  helpful  in  responding  to  the 
needs  of  our  pupils  which  fall  within  their  areas  and  recognition 
of  these  services  is  gratefully  expressed. 

Over  the  weekend  of  October  14,  five  girls  went  to  the 
Connecticut  School  for  the  annual  Girls'  Play  Day  which  has  become 
an  established  feature  of  the  eastern  schools  for  the  blind.  Seven 
schools  were  represented  and  our  girls  had  a  very  pleasant  time 
associating  with  girls  from  other  schools.  During  the  morning  of 
October  18,  Mr.  Robert  Brereton,  a  talented  blind  pianist,  graciously 
came  to  Perkins  to  give  a  recital  for  our  pupils  and  staff.  On 
the  evening  of  October  21,  the  boys  and  girls  of  the  Senior  Class 
gave  an  amateur  show  in  Dwight  Hall  which  revealed  unexpected 
talents  among  class  members  and  also  provided  funds  for  the 
activities  of  the  Senior  Class.  The  evening  of  October  31  was 
marked  by  Halloween  spirit  which  prevailed  in  all  of  the  cottages 
where  appropriate  parties  were  held. 

Student  Councils 
Monday  evening,  October  28,  the  new  members  of  the  Boys' 
Council  were  initiated  in  the  impressive  ceremony  which  was  de- 
veloped under  Mr.  Sherman  and  which  has  had  a  vital  part  in 
bringing  before  the  boys  the  significance  of  the  Council  and  the 
responsibilites  of  membership.  This  service  is  always  held  in  the 
Chapel,  presided  over  by  the  Director  and  attended  by  all  associated 
with  the  Boys'  School.  The  Council  thus  initiated,  held  monthly 
meetings  and  the  Director  wants  to  place  on  record  his  great 
appreciation  of  the  fine  spirit  of  the  boys  this  year,  the  many 
helpful  contributions  they  have  made  through  suggestions  at 
meetings  and  also  through  leadership  and  example  among  the  pupils, 
frequently  taking  in  hand  boys  who  needed  a  little  guidance  and 
direction.  The  Girls'  Council  has  also  met  regularly  through  the 
year,  and  its  members  were  equally  helpful.  One  of  the  special 
features  of  the  Girls'  Council,  is  the  appointment  of  "big  sisters" 
for  the  younger  girls  coming  from  the  Lower  School  to  help  initiate 
them  into  the  requirements  of  the  Upper  School. 

November  is  always  marked  by  Memorial  Exercises.  Those 
in  the  Lower  School,  held  this  year  on  the  4th,  were  in  honor  of 
Michael  Anagnos,  founder  of  the  Kindergarten  and  second  Director 
of  Perkins.  The  pupils  acted  out  incidents  in  the  life  of  Mr. 
Anagnos  and  closed  with  the  singing  of  the  hymn  "Anagnos,  Dear 
Founder."     At  the  Upper  School,  the  Howe  Memorial  Exercises 

24 


SINGING  IN  THE  LOWER  SCHOOL 


UPPER  SCHOOL  ORCHESTRA 


were  held  on  the  9th,  paying  tribute  to  the  first  Director  whose 
life  was  depicted  through  readings  by  the  students  of  incidents 
in  his  career.  The  Howe  family  was  represented  this  year  by  Mr. 
Henry  H.  Richards,  grandson  of  Dr.  Howe,  Mrs.  Carlton  Shaw, 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Marion  Hall  and  Mrs.  Thomas  C.  Howard. 
Letters  were  read  from  several  other  members  of  the  Howe  family. 
These  exercises  always  conclude  with  the  singing  of  the  Battle 
Hymn  of  the  Republic,  written  by  Julia  Ward  Howe  who,  in  her 
lifetime,  graced  these  occasions  as  the  wife  and  later  the  widow 
of  the  first  Director. 

The  Upper  School  girls  held  a  dance  on  the  evening  of 
November  12  with  an  orchestra  provided  through  the  kindness  of 
Mr.  George  Ellis  of  Waltham.  At  two  other  girls'  dances,  on 
January  28  and  May  20,  the  music  was  provided  by  orchestras  made 
up  of  Perkins  boys;  on  the  first  occasion  the  regular  Perkins  band 
of  older  boys  and  on  the  second  a  group  of  younger  boys  who  were 
specially  prepared  for  the  event  by  Mr.  Bauguss.  On  November 
19  the  annual  football  banquet  was  held  in  Tompkins  Cottage  in 
honor  of  their  victory  in  the  football  tournament  carried  on  between 
cottage  teams  through  the  fall.  The  banquet  was  followed  by  a 
boys'  dance.  The  speaker  at  the  banquet  was  Leo  Eagen,  well- 
known  sports  commentator.  Nearly  all  of  the  pupils  went  home  over 
the  Thanksgiving  weekend.  In  the  Red  Feather  drive  for  the 
Community  Fund  Perkins'  staff  and  pupils  contributed  $791.58  and 
later  $362.55  was  raised  for  the  American  Red  Cross. 

The  Christmas  Concerts 
December  is  given  over  primarily  to  preparation  for  the 
Christmas  concerts.  A  fair  under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Helena 
Drake  and  the  officers  of  the  Alumnae  Association  is  becoming  an 
annual  event  in  December  and  many  articles  are  contributed  for 
sale.  This  year  $113.80  was  realized  and  added  to  the  Scholarship 
Fund  which  has  been  set  up  by  the  Alumnae  Association  and  which 
now  totals  $3177.  For  the  past  three  years,  this  scholarship  has 
been  given  to  Miss  Faye  George,  Perkins  *46,  who  was  graduated 
from  Middlebury  College  in  June.  For  the  following  year  it  has 
been  granted  to  Hope  MacDonald,  who  was  graduated  from  Perkins 
in  1949  and  is  now  a  sophomore  at  New  Hampshire  University. 
Three  Christmas  concerts  were  given  in  Dwight  Hall,  which  was 
filled  to  capacity  on  all  three  occasions.  An  unusually  fine  program 
of  traditional  and  modern  carols  was  presented  under  the  able 

25 


leadership  of  Mr.  Bauguss,  assisted  by  Mrs.  Carr  at  the  organ 
and  Miss  Seymour,  pianist.  Following  the  concert  on  Tuesday 
evening,  December  20,  the  pupils  went  home  for  the  Christmas 
holidays  which  continued  until  January  3. 

The  winter  term  was  a  long  one,  beginning  January  8  and 
closing  March  31.  A  long  weekend  over  Lincoln's  Birthday,  how- 
ever, proved  a  welcome  respite  and  more  than  half  of  the  pupils 
went  home.  The  absence  of  so  many  on  February  12  necessitated 
a  change  in  the  annual  presentation  of  a  dollar  to  each  pupil  at 
Perkins  on  that  holiday.  This  money  comes  from  a  fund  left  by 
Stephen  Blaisdell,  a  former  student  at  Perkins,  with  instructions 
to  give  a  dollar  to  each  pupil  on  Lincoln's  Birthday  in  commemora- 
tion of  the  freeing  of  the  slaves,  and  also  a  sum  of  $15  to  each 
graduate  before  July  4th.  This  year  the  dollars  were  presented 
as  the  pupils  were  leaving  for  the  weekend  which  may  have  given 
them  an  appropriate  significance. 

Morning  Assemblies 
During  the  winter  term,  speakers  at  Morning  Assemblies  on 
Mondays  were  selected  by  the  pupils  from  their  own  numbers ;  Mr. 
Stone  talked  on  Wednesdays  through  the  year;  and  on  Tliursdays, 
during  the  Lenten  season,  the  Clergy  of  Watertown  were  the 
speakers.  A  series  of  teas  in  the  homes  of  a  number  of  Cambridge 
people  was  arranged  for  groups  of  Upper  School  girls  by  Miss 
Marshall.  This  year  an  unusually  large  number  of  Scout  activities 
in  connection  with  outside  troops  were  directed  by  Mrs.  Davis  and 
Miss  Liversidge.  Miss  Potter's  groups  presented  a  number  of 
amateur  dramatic  performances  and  the  Music  Department  held 
the  usual  series  of  recitals  by  special  music  pupils.  An  event  out 
of  the  ordinary  was  the  visit  to  Perkins  on  February  28  of  Vic 
Damone,  a  talented  and  popular  vocalist.  On  every  Wednesday 
evening  throughout  the  year,  a  series  of  moving  pictures  was  of- 
fered in  the  boys'  reading  room  as  arranged  by  Mr.  Coon,  the  Li- 
brarian. These  have  proved  very  popular,  especially  in  the  winter 
months.  Some  very  entertaining  films  as  well  as  educational  ones 
such  as  "Great  Expectations"  were  enjoyed  by  pupils  and  staff. 
On  three  Wednesday  evenings  in  March  was  a  series  of  educational 
films  based  on  the  textbook,  "Teaching  Techniques"  by  Shorling, 
which  were  appreciated  by  the  teachers  who  attended  them  after 
the  pupils'  movies  were  over.  A  luncheon  given  by  the  Kiwanis 
at  the  Hotel  Touraine,  on  March  23,  was  attended  by  members 

26 


of  the  staff  and  all  of  the  girls  who  went  to  Camp  Allen.  This  is 
a  camp  for  blind  girls  and  conducted  by  this  Kiwanis  Club,  and 
to  which  many  present  Perkins  and  former  Perkins  girls  go  for 
summer  vacations.  The  camp  girls  put  on  a  typical  camp  program, 
and  were  the  recipients  of  much  interest  and  gifts  by  members  of 
the  club.  On  the  following  evening,  March  24,  the  annual  staff 
party  was  held  in  the  staff  lounge,  and  a  "good  time  was  had  by  all." 

Meeting  for  Parents 

Perhaps  the  outstanding  social  events  of  the  year  were  the 
meetings  for  parents  of  the  Lower  School  children  held  on  the 
Friday  afternoons  of  March — ^Anagnos  Cottage  on  March  3,  Bradlee 
on  the  10th,  Glover  on  the  17th  and  Potter  on  the  24th.  The  parents 
came  early  in  the  afternoon  and  visited  in  the  classrooms  of  their 
respective  children,  seeing  them  at  work.  Following  that,  teachers 
and  parents  assembled  in  the  living  room  of  the  cottage  where 
there  was  a  program  of  songs  by  the  children,  followed  by  a  talk 
by  the  Director.  The  Director  pointed  out  some  of  the  special 
features  of  the  school  and  introduced  the  specialists  who  take  part 
in  the  programs  of  the  Lower  School,  such  as  speech  correction, 
health,  psychological  work,  and  so  forth.  The  specialists  in  each 
department  spoke  briefly  of  their  work.  Tea  and  refreshments 
were  then  served  in  the  dining  room  and  the  parents  and  teachers 
were  urged  to  get  together  to  discuss  their  children.  All  of  the 
meetings  were  well  attended,  with  some  parents  coming  from  as 
far  away  as  Maine  and  New  Hampshire.  This  was  a  very  auspicious 
beginning  for  a  program  of  closer  contact  between  the  home  and 
the  school  which  must  be  enlarged  this  coming  year.  The  parents 
who  attended  were  very  generous  in  their  expressions  of  apprecia- 
tion of  this  opportunity  to  see  the  school  at  work  and  to  talk  to 
those  who  have  their  children  under  care  while  at  Perkins. 

The  events  of  the  spring  term,  which  opened  April  10  reflect 
the  policy  of  the  school  in  trying  to  give  to  the  pupils  opportunity 
for  social  development  outside  the  school,  and  for  activities  which 
might  seem  to  some  to  be  excluded  from  the  blind.  On  April  16, 
the  officers  of  Temple  Israel  invited  twelve  Lower  School  boys  and 
girls  to  join  with  them  in  their  annual  Father  and  Son  and  Mother 
and  Daughter  dinner,  while  on  the  24th,  Temple  Israel  invited  all 
the  Potter  boys  and  the  Girls'  Glee  Club  to  share  with  them  in  a 
dinner  and  evening  meeting.  On  the  evenings  of  April  25,  27  and 
28,  the  Music  Department  presented  its  annual  spring  concert  which 

27 


this  year  was  in  the  form  of  a  "Pops  Revue."  The  rendering  of 
popular  songs,  built  around  a  plot  developed  by  one  of  the  teachers, 
provided  delightful  entertainment  which  was  enjoyed  by  capacity 
houses  on  the  three  evenings  in  Dwight  Hall.  At  these  spring  con- 
certs an  admission  charge  is  made,  and  the  proceeds  are  used  for 
the  benefit  of  the  Music  Department. 

The  May  Walk 

Early  on  the  morning  of  May  1,  all  of  the  girls  in  the  Upper 
School,  under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Simonds,  joined  in  the  tradi- 
tional May  Walk.  This  group  goes  about  the  grounds  before  break- 
fast observing  the  developments  of  spring  and  carrying  out  the 
tradition  which  has  been  sustained  by  Miss  Simonds  over  many 
years.  The  walk  this  year  took  especial  significance  because  it  will 
be  the  last  under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Simonds  who  is  retiring 
at  the  end  of  the  year.  Square  dancing,  popular  generally,  struck 
Perkins  hard  this  spring,  and  seven  different  dances  were  held  by 
boys  and  girls  respectively,  and  also  the  staff  had  dances  of  this 
type.  Bill  Dunkle  was  very  generous  in  coming  to  call  the  dances 
bringing  with  him  the  musicians.  On  the  afternoon  of  May  4,  a 
special  tea  was  held  for  the  staff,  which  was  not  only  a  pleasant 
occasion  for  them  to  get  together,  but  was  in  the  form  of  a  welcome 
home  to  the  Director  who  had  just  returned  from  Iran.  On  the 
evening  of  May  5  the  Winchester  Boy  Scouts  came  to  share  a 
meeting  with  our  scout  troop.  Members  of  the  Watertown  Kiwanis 
Club  acted  as  fathers  for  our  girl  scouts  on  the  evening  of  May  9, 
at  a  Father  and  Daughter  Banquet  held  in  the  Phillips  Congrega- 
tional Church  in  Watertown.  On  the  11th  the  Young  People's 
Society  of  the  Old  South  Church  came  to  Perkins  and  sponsored  two 
parties,  one  for  all  the  junior  high  school  girls  in  Dwight  Hall,  and 
the  other  for  all  the  senior  high  school  boys  in  the  boys'  cottages. 
On  the  evening  of  May  13,  a  number  of  the  girls  in  the  Upper 
School  were  invited  to  a  dinner  and  dance  as  guests  of  the  Belmont 
Rainbow  Girls.  The  members  of  the  girls'  Senior  Class  held  their 
senior  prom  on  the  evening  of  May  20  while  the  boys  had  their 
prom  on  June  2.  On  the  afternoon  of  May  26  the  girls'  athletic 
program  came  to  a  conclusion  with  a  program  of  field  events,  and 
the  victory  of  Oliver  Cottage  was  celebrated  by  a  banquet  which 
was  served  in  that  cottage  for  all  the  girls  in  the  Upper  School  on 
the  evening  of  June  1.

Saturday  afternoon,  June  3,  our  girl  scouts  hiked  to  Cedar  Hill, 
Waltham,  to  attend  a  Girl  Scout  play  day,  at  which  time  three  of 
our  girls  received  pins  for  five  years  of  continuous  scouting.  The 
culminating  social  event  of  the  spring  term  occurred  on  June  8. 
All  of  the  cottage  picnics  were  held  on  that  day.  Usually  each 
cottage  has  a  separate  party,  going  either  to  one  of  the  resorts  or 
beaches  and  sometimes  having  a  picnic  supper  at  the  fireplace  by 
the  pond.  This  year  over  half  of  the  boys'  school  elected  to  go  fish- 
ing, and  engaged  a  boat  which  took  them  off  into  Boston  Harbor 
for  a  very  pleasant  afternoon  and  evening.  The  other  half  of  the 
boys'  school  went  to  Revere  Beach.  On  the  evening  of  June  12, 
all  of  the  girls  above  the  third  grade  were  the  guests  of  the 
members  of  the  Watertown  Yacht  Club  who  took  them  on  a  tour 
of  the  Charles  River  Basin  in  their  motor  boats.  This  was 
inaugurated  last  year  and  it  is  developing  into  an  annual  event 
for  which  the  administration  wishes  to  express  appreciation  and 
gratitude  to  the  members  of  the  Yacht  Club. 

Allen  Memorial  Service 

The  most  impressive  meeting  of  the  year  was  held  on  the 
afternoon  of  May  22,  when  a  memorial  service  was  held  as  a 
tribute  to  the  late  Edward  Ellis  Allen,  Director  Emeritus  of  Per- 
kins. Dr.  Allen  passed  away  on  April  14,  and  his  funeral  service 
was  held  in  the  chapel  of  the  Newton  Cemetery  on  Monday,  April 
17.  As  a  large  number  of  his  friends,  especially  in  the  blind  world, 
were  unable  to  attend  the  funeral  service,  it  seemed  appropriate 
to  hold  a  special  service  in  the  chapel  which  bears  his  name.  This 
was  planned  in  connection  with  the  spring  meeting  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Council  of  Organizations  for  the  Blind  being  held  that 
afternoon  and  evening.  The  chapel  was  filled  to  overflowing  with 
members  of  Dr.  Allen's  family  and  many  former  pupils  and  asso- 
ciates of  Dr.  Allen.  The  service  was  planned  and  conducted  by  the 
Director,  with  the  Perkins  chorus  rendering  appropriate  musical 
selections. 

A  report  of  activities  should  now  include  special  mention  of  the 
opportunities  provided  for  the  girls  of  the  Senior  Class  by  Miss 
Carpenter,  Dean  of  Girls.  Miss  Carpenter  has  inaugurated  a  plan 
of  having  the  senior  girls,  of  whom  there  were  seven  this  year, 
meet  with  her  early  in  the  year  to  plan  "to  do  something  with  the 
members  each  month."  These  events  included  visits  to  the  homes  of 
some  of  the  pupils,  and  also  to  Miss  Carpenter's  home  for  weekends. 

29 


The  girls  went  to  Durgin-Park  for  an  interesting  meal,  to 
the  Gardner  Museum  in  January,  to  a  performance  of  King  Lear  at 
the  Brattle  Theatre  in  Cambridge  in  March,  to  which  the  Junior 
Class  was  invited.  As  a  culminating  event  the  girls  and  the  boys 
of  the  Senior  Class  had  an  afternoon  picnic  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Waterhouse,  and  as  the  formal  report  states,  "Everyone  had 
a  time  to  be  long  remembered." 

Mr.  Smith,  Dean  of  Boys,  has  been  able  also  to  inaugurate  a 
number  of  new  features  for  developing  social  interests  among  the 
boys.  During  the  winter  he  had  a  program  of  Saturday  evening 
socials  for  the  junior  high  school  boys,  which  did  a  lot  to  keep  the 
boys  in  the  school  on  Saturday  evenings  and  gave  them  specific 
training  in  many  social  forms  which  they  will  find  invaluable  when 
they  leave  school.  Mr.  Smith  has  also  developed  extensively,  the 
sports  program  for  boys.  The  annual  competitions  in  several  sports 
among  the  boys  of  the  four  cottages  continued.  Wrestling  was  the 
main  sport  activity  during  the  winter  months,  while  baseball  was 
introduced  during  the  spring.  In  order  to  make  the  games  more 
effective,  a  fully  seeing  staff  member  was  made  a  playing  member 
of  each  team.  The  staff  member  was  able  to  focus  the  team  efforts 
of  his  boys  and  so  control  conduct  on  the  field  as  to  realize  the  best 
character  objectives. 

June  brings  not  only  graduation,  but  also  the  annual  meetings 
of  the  Alumnae  Association  held  on  June  3,  and  that  of  the  Alumni, 
which  took  place  on  June  17.  In  addition  to  formal  business  meet- 
ings of  these  associations  and  the  "reuning"  characteristics  of 
gatherings  of  this  type,  the  two  meetings  this  year  took  on  special 
significance,  in  that  tablets  honoring  members  of  the  staff  were 
dedicated.  At  the  meeting  of  the  Alumnae  Association,  a  tablet 
was  placed  in  the  new  girls'  reading  room,  honoring  Miss  Elsie  H. 
Simonds,  for  forty-two  years  principal  and  teacher  of  the  girls' 
Upper  School,  who  was  retiring  in  June.  At  the  men's  meeting 
on  the  17th,  a  similar  tablet  was  unveiled  in  the  reading  room  on 
the  boys'  side  adjoining  the  library,  in  honor  of  Miss  Mary  Esther 
Sawyer,  former  teacher  and  librarian  for  thirty-four  years,  who 
retired  on  January  1,  1949. 

Graduation  Exercises 

Graduation  exercises  were  held  on  Tuesday,  June  20.  A  pro- 
gram was  held  at  eleven  o'clock  in  the  Assembly  Hall  at  the  Lower 
School  for  the  nine  boys  and  girls  who  were  moving  over  to  the 

30 


Upper  School  and  many  parents  attended.  After  these  exercises 
the  Lower  School  pupils  went  home.  The  Upper  School  graduation 
exercises  were  held  at  two  o'clock  in  Dwight  Hall,  with  Dr.  Reginald 
Fitz,  President  of  the  Corporation  presiding,  and  awarding 
Diplomas  to  the  twelve  boys  and  seven  girls  who  made  up  the 
graduating  class.  This  was  one  of  the  largest  classes  to  be  gradu- 
ated in  recent  years,  although  it  was  exceeded  in  numbers  by  the 
Class  of  1938.  Two  certificates,  granted  by  the  Ediphone  Com- 
pany, and  approved  by  the  Commercial  Department  of  the  school, 
were  awarded  for  Ediphone  operating  proficiency.  Manual  Training 
certificates  were  given  to  four  girls,  and  three  boys  received  Piano 
Tuning  certificates.  At  an  earlier  assembly  six  certificates  were 
awarded  by  the  American  Red  Cross  for  a  home  nursing  course, 
and  the  swimming  section  of  the  Red  Cross  granted  certificates  for 
efficiency  in  swimming  to  twelve  beginners  and  to  four  intermedi- 
ates. These  were  earned  through  special  instruction  under  Red 
Cross  leadership. 

The  commencement  address  was  given  by  Dr.  Richard  M. 
Gummere,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Admissions  of  Harvard 
University.  The  invocation  was  given  by  the  Rev.  Paul  B.  Myers 
of  the  Phillips  Congregational  Church.  Following  the  exercises, 
the  annual  reception  for  the  members  of  the  Senior  Class  was  held 
in  the  museum,  where  opportunity  was  given  to  friends  to  con- 
gratulate them.  Refreshments  were  served  in  the  courtyard  of 
the  Howe  Building,  after  which  all  departed  for  the  long  summer 
holiday. 

Record  should  be  made  of  the  Perkins  graduates  who 
completed  their  college  work  in  June:  John  C.  King,  '38,  Sweden- 
borgian  Theological  School,  Cambridge;  William  Gallagher,  '44, 
Boston  College  School  of  Social  Work;  Stephen  Garabedian,  '46, 
Rhode  Island  State  College;  Faye  George,  '46,  Middlebury  College. 
All  completed  their  work  with  high  distinction.  Robert  J.  Smithdas, 
'46,  who  is  deaf  and  blind,  and  who  prepared  for  college  at  Perkins, 
received  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  from  St.  John's  University, 
Brooklyn.  His  great  achievement  was  observed  with  wide  acclaim 
by  the  college  authorities  and  the  press  generally.  He  was  featured 
on  "We  the  People"  in  recognition  of  his  high  record  in  college. 
Sabra  Oulton,  '39,  received  a  special  certificate  for  a  two  year 
course  in  agriculture  at  the  University  of  New  Hampshire.  Albert 
Gayzagian,  who  was  a  student  at  Perkins  through  the  6th  grade, 

31 


after  which  he  went  to  Watertown  High  School,  and  then  to  Harvard 
University,  was  awarded  a  Master  of  Arts  degree  with  distinction 
at  Harvard,  at  their  graduation  exercises.  Anthony  Cirella,  '40, 
received  his  Master's  degree  in  music  at  the  New  England  Conserva- 
tory of  Music,  Boston,  Massachusetts. 

Educational  Review 

In  reviewing  the  year  from  the  educational  point  of  view, 
Mr.  Stone  as  acting  Principal  and  Dean  of  Faculty,  states :  "During 
the  past  year  every  endeavor  has  been  made  to  maintain  the  high 
academic  standard  that  has  for  so  long  been  characteristic  of 
Perkins.  While  major  emphasis  continued  to  be  placed  on  the 
regular  academic  schedule,  three  new  developments  of  the  year 
should  be  mentioned.  Perhaps  the  most  significant  of  the  three 
was  the  revising  of  the  program  for  the  ungraded  students  and 
slow  learners  in  a  course  of  study  geared  to  their  activities,  abilities 
and  interests."  Mr.  Stone  reports  that  this  course  is  open  to 
all  Upper  School  boys,  who  are  mentally  unable  to  continue  academic 
work  in  a  school  grade,  but  are  still  able  to  be  educated  with  hand 
skills.  "Most  of  these  boys,"  he  continues,  "will  be  unemployable  in 
industry,  but  they  may  find  a  neighborhood  market  for  simple  hand- 
crafts which  can  be  produced  in  the  home,  requiring  only  a  small 
capital  outlay  and  without  using  expensive  machinery.  A  series 
of  activities  called  'Projects'  was  formed.  The  group  is  called  the 
'Project  Class,'  and  the  boys  in  it  are  referred  to  as  the  'Project 
Boys.'  During  the  past  year  the  boys  have  become  increasingly 
proficient  in  the  following  crafts:  mat-making,  rug-weaving,  braid- 
ing, bead  work,  leather  assembly,  tennis  racket  re-stringing,  caning, 
basket-making,  metal  work,  poultry  raising  and  in  simple  home 
repairs. 

"While  this  craft  work  consumes  a  major  part  of  the  pupils' 
time,  there  are  also  classes  in  academic  subjects.  The  pupil  is 
taught  the  simple  arithmetic  needed  for  his  poultry  business  or  the 
computations  necessary  for  making  a  profit  on  his  saleable  products. 
He  learns  to  read  for  his  own  pleasure  and  to  select  suitable  stories 
for  his  Talking  Book.  He  learns  enough  English  to  write  simple 
social  and  business  letters.  His  social  studies  are  directed  toward 
the  principles  of  good  citizenship  and  the  interpreting  of  news 
he  hears  on  the  radio.  He  has  a  course  in  elementary  science  for 
which  he  has  a  natural  need  and  interest.  He  is  required  to  take 
physical  education  and  may  take  music  instruction  if  he  has  talent.

THE  CLASS  OF  1950 


GRADUATED  JUNE  20 


We  have  every  reason  to  be  enthusiastic  over  this  course.  The 
ten  boys  in  the  class  are  industrious  and  eager,  and  mischief -making 
potential  is  absorbed  in  their  work.  Their  limited  abilities  are 
being  developed  into  useful  production  and  we  hope  they  are  being 
made  into  at  least  less-dependent  citizens." 

Industrial  Arts 

The  two  other  developments  are  in  the  area  of  Industrial  Arts. 
On  the  boys'  side  in  the  modernized  shop,  the  facilities  have  been 
regrouped  and  consolidated  to  more  effective  woodworking,  metal- 
working  and  caning  areas.  The  wisdom  of  these  changes  in  pro- 
gram has  been  proved  during  the  past  year  in  increased  efficiency 
and  in  greater  scope  of  instruction.  On  the  girls'  side,  a  room  has 
been  equipped  for  a  course  in  pottery,  taught  by  Miss  McGaw.  It 
is  equipped  with  a  new  electric  potter's  wheel  and  other  necessary 
facilities.  The  class,  made  up  of  both  boys  and  girls,  has,  during 
the  past  year,  proved  to  be  exceptionally  successful.  Not  only  did 
these  students  produce  useful  objects,  but  they  had  the  advantage 
of  an  aesthetic  experience  which  is  not  only  valuable  in  maintain- 
ing morale  and  in  relieving  tension,  but  also  enables  them  to  identify 
themselves  with  a  cultural  group  and  to  sensitize  themselves  to 
beauty. 

Report  should  also  be  made  that  during  the  past  year  our 
Industrial  Arts  department  was  host  to  the  Massachusetts  Industrial 
Educational  Society,  a  group  of  about  fifty  men,  all  High  School 
and  College  Manual  Arts  teachers,  who  spent  an  evening  examining 
our  new  shop  arrangement  and  our  shop  production.  They  had  the 
highest  praise  for  our  equipment  and  program.  The  boys'  shop 
was  also  visited  by  a  group  of  seniors  and  graduate  students  from 
the  Industrial  Arts  department  of  the  State  Teachers  College  in 
Fitchburg,  Massachusetts.  During  the  winter  the  work  of  the 
Perkins  students  in  this  area  was  exhibited  at  the  annual  convention 
of  the  Massachusetts  Industrial  and  Educational  Society,  where  they 
received  first  prize  for  group  exhibits. 

Piano  Tuning 

A  section  within  the  professional  training  area,  is  the  Perkins 
Pianoforte  Tuning  Department.  During  the  past  year,  under  the 
leadership  of  Mr.  Durfee,  eight  students  carried  on  this  form  of 
instruction.  Three  completed  their  work  and  are  launched  on  pro- 
fessional careers,  which  give  good  promise  of  remuneration  and 

S3 


service.  Among  those  completing  their  work  this  year  was  one  of 
the  National  Scholarship  boys,  who  came  from  Kentucky  to  be 
better  grounded  in  repair  work.  At  the  end  of  the  year  he  obtained 
a  position  as  instructor  of  tuning  at  the  West  Virginia  School  for 
the  Blind.  In  addition  to  the  training  of  students,  the  department 
supervises  the  work  that  is  being  done  by  Perkins  trained  tuners  i» 
servicing  all  the  pianos  of  the  Boston  School  system.  A  considerable 
amount  of  private  business  comes  to  the  department  and  former 
tuning  students  are  sent  out  on  a  professional  basis.  Business  this 
year  was  so  successful  that  in  addition  to  the  regular  compensation, 
a  ten  percent  bonus  was  distributed  among  those  who  did  this  work 
in  order  to  consume  the  profits,  because  Perkins  does  this  entirely 
on  a  non-profit  basis. 

Deaf-Blind  Department 
Five  new  pupils  were  added  to  the  Deaf-Blind  Department  at 
the  opening  of  the  year,  three  boys  coming  from  Massachusetts, 
Vermont  and  Ohio,  one  girl  from  Missouri,  and  a  girl  who 
has  been  attending  the  Lower  School,  but  who  was  transferred 
to  the  Deaf-Blind  Department  because  of  severe  hearing  loss.  This 
made  a  group  of  nine  in  the  department  during  the  year.  All 
except  two  made  good  progress  in  academic  and  social  areas. 
The  boy  from  Vermont  was  returned  to  his  home  because  of  in- 
adequate progress,  while  the  girl  from  Missouri  is  not  to  return 
because  of  too  much  hearing.  She,  however,  profited  greatly  by 
being  at  Perkins  this  year.  Three  of  the  pupils  in  the  department 
were  hard  of  hearing  children  rather  than  deaf  children.  Hearing 
aids  were  secured  for  two  of  these  pupils  and  acoustical  training 
was  provided.  The  department  had  a  very  active  year  both  in 
the  classroom  and  in  the  socializing  program  for  the  pupils.  All 
of  them  participated  in  the  parties  and  dances  given  by  the  Upper 
School  blind  children,  and  in  turn  entertained  some  of  the  blind 
children  in  their  own  cottage. 

The  teaching  staff  was  strengthened  by  the  return  of  Mrs. 
Rose  D.  Vivian,  a  former  teacher  in  the  department,  and  one  new 
attendant,  Miss  Marjorie  Mcintosh.  At  the  dose  of  the  school 
year,  Mrs.  William  Huddleston,  who  has  been  an  effective  teacher 
for  three  years,  resigned,  and  Miss  Audrey  White,  attendant, 
terminated  her  work.  For  the  coming  year,  Miss  Beatrice  F. 
Pinkham,  a  former  teacher  in  the  Girls'  Upper  School,  is  to 
return  to  help  in  the  department.    Just  before  school  closed,  Miss 

34 


Joan  Shields  came  to  Perkins  from  England,  having  been  sent 
here  by  the  National  Institute  for  the  Blind  in  London  to  receive 
training  to  set  up  a  program  for  the  doubly  handicapped  in  that 
country.  Miss  Shields  went  with  Mrs.  Gittzus  to  Ypsilanti, 
Michigan,  where  Mrs.  Gittzus  again  offered  the  special  course 
for  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind  at  the  summer  session  of  the 
Michigan  State  Teachers  College.  Miss  Shields  will  be  at  Perkins 
during  the  coming  year.  For  six  weeks  during  the  fall,  Miss 
Virginia  Wiehn,  teacher  of  the  deaf,  took  training  at  Perkins 
before  setting  up  a  program  for  the  deaf-blind  in  the  Michigan 
School  for  the  Blind.  During  the  winter  the  department  was 
visited  by  Mr.  Daniel  T.  Cloud,  Superintendent  of  the  Illinois  School 
for  the  Deaf,  as  that  school  is  planning  to  set  up  a  department 
for  deaf-blind  children. 

During  the  fall  the  annual  appeal  for  our  work  with  the  deaf- 
blind  was  sent  out  to  about  12,000  persons  throughout  the  country. 
With  the  letter  went  again  a  calendar  which  has  become 
increasingly  popular  in  keeping  alive  the  story  of  the  CHILDREN 
OF  THE  SILENT  NIGHT.  The  response,  we  feel,  was  very 
generous,  as  1945  contributions  were  received,  totaling  $20,671.50. 
Although  a  personal  letter  of  thanks  was  sent  to  each  contributor, 
appreciation  for  the  interest  which  inspired  these  many  gifts  is 
expressed  herewith  to  all  who  may  read  this  report.  While  most 
of  the  contributions  come  from  individuals,  many  come  from 
groups  and  organizations.  Sunday  Schools  frequently  make 
contributions,  and  organizations  of  young  people  are  increasing  in 
number.  Women's  clubs  and  service  clubs  are  also  expressing 
interest  and  for  several  years  a  regular  contribution  has  come  from 
a  labor  union  of  teamsters. 

The  Library 
In  the  report  of  the  library  last  year,  considerable  stress  was 
put  upon  the  number  of  volumes  and  the  vast  resources  that  Per- 
kins has  in  this  area.  The  plans  inaugurated  by  the  new  Librarian, 
Mr.  Nelson  Coon,  were  set  forth,  and  these  have  been  largely  im- 
plemented during  the  past  year.  Both  the  library  of  Braille  books 
and  the  teachers'  library  in  print  have  been  reorganized,  and 
obsolete  books  weeded  out.  In  the  Lower  School  section  a  consider- 
able change  is  being  made  due  to  the  fact  that  the  school  is  now 
using  Grade  Two  instead  of  Grade  One  and  a  Half.  This  left  the 
library  with  a  surplus  quantity  of  Grade  One  and  a  Half  books. 

35 


Every  effort  has  been  made  to  dispose  of  these  to  the  best  advan- 
tage, either  by  sale  or  gift.  Over  700  bundles  of  books  have  been 
sent  to  twenty-five  schools  and  institutions  in  foreign  countries 
which  could  use  English  books,  and  which  would  benefit  by  them. 
The  report  of  the  circulation  outside  the  school  shows  that 
7000  more  volumes  of  all  kinds  of  books  were  distributed 
among  blind  people  in  New  England  than  in  the  previous  year, 
and  twelve  thousand  more  than  two  years  ago.  The  project  for 
recording  books  for  college  students  on  Soundscriber  records 
has  been  very  helpful  during  the  year.  A  total  of  twenty  books 
for  twelve  college  students,  involving  three  hundred  hours  of 
reading  were  produced  on  more  than  600  plastic  records.  Most  of 
this  reading  was  done  at  Wellesley  College,  under  the  supervision 
of  Miss  Hellen  Guggenheimer  to  whom  thanks  is  due.  Miss 
Guggenheimer  called  into  service  students  majoring  in  the  sub- 
jects of  the  books  to  be  recorded,  thus  giving  an  intelligent  and 
understanding  interpretation  to  the  reading.  Letters  of  apprecia- 
tion to  the  students  for  their  help  have  been  ample  reward  for 
the  effort,  according  to  Mr.  Coon  and  the  Wellesley  girls.  The  cost 
of  equipment  was  borne  through  a  contribution  of  the  Host  Lions 
Club  in  Boston. 

The  second  objective  set  forth  last  year  was  the  further 
development  of  the  facilities  found  in  the  Blindiana  Library.  In 
this  library  have  been  discovered  unknown  books  and  papers  which 
are  of  great  value  to  research.  During  the  past  year  more  than 
twenty  students  have  done  research  in  this  library,  including  the 
author  of  the  new  and  authoritative  book  on  blindness  which  will 
be  published  early  in  1951.  During  the  summer  months  a  special 
research  project  for  a  study  of  conditions  among  blind  children 
throughout  the  world  is  being  carried  out  for  the  Social  Commission 
of  the  United  Nations.  One  of  the  valuable  items  in  this  library 
is  the  vast  collection  of  newspaper  and  magazine  clippings.  These 
have  been  repackaged  and  reshelved  and  are  contained  in  more 
than  2,000  boxes.  Dates  of  clippings  range  from  1824  to  1950. 
A  good  beginning  on  the  analyzing  and  reclassifying  of  this 
material  was  carried  on  through  volunteer  help. 

Special  Exhibits 
The  library  has  continued  to  hold  its  Exhibit  of  the  Month 
for  the  benefit  of  pupils,  using  materials  found  in  the  tactual 
museum.     In  connection  with  exhibits,  the  librarian  has  prepared 

36 


an  extensive  exhibit  of  specimens  of  all  forms  of  printing  embossed 
for  the  blind.  Each  type  is  illustrated  by  an  actual  page  taken 
from  a  book  of  the  dates  when  the  type  was  used.  These  are 
arranged  from  the  first  book  ever  embossed  for  the  blind  printed 
in  Paris  in  1786  up  to  the  Standard  English  Braille  which  was 
adopted  by  the  United  States  and  England  in  1932.  Samples  from 
the  third  book  printed  for  the  blind  were  shown,  but  Perkins  has  no 
copy  of  the  second  book  which  was  printed  in  Amsterdam.  The 
exhibit  falls  into  the  two  alignments  which  waged  war  for  nearly 
a  century,  and  constituted  the  well  known  "Battle  of  the  Types." 
It  shows  vividly  the  progress  from  the  early  linetyx>e  to  the  now 
prevailing  dot  system.  After  being  on  display  at  Perkins,  this 
exhibit  was  shown  in  Maine,  Rhode  Island,  Iowa,  and  Washington, 
D.  C.  A  special  Spanish  edition  was  prepared  for  shipment  to 
South  America. 

During  the  past  year  the  library  circulated  47,498  volumes. 
This  total  circulation  was  divided  into  31,103  recorded  books, 
15,353  embossed  books  and  1,042  ink  print  books.  Of  the  total 
circulation  37,758  volumes  were  sent  to  readers  throughout  New 
England  under  our  arrangements  as  a  distributing  library  for  books 
provided  for  the  adult  blind  by  the  Library  of  Congress.  Under 
this  service  there  was  an  increase  in  distribution  of  8,229  books, 
revealing  the  growing  interest  in  reading  by  the  blind  and  the 
increasing  problem  which  the  circulation  of  these  books  brings  to 
Perkins.  On  the  basis  of  the  services  that  we  are  rendering,  we 
have,  during  the  past  year,  proposed  to  the  states  served,  that  they 
share  in  the  cost  of  this  distribution  in  the  same  way  in  which 
they  now  bear  the  cost  of  repairs  and  servicing  of  Talking  Books. 

Budgets  and  Business 
"Budget  increases,"  the  Bursar  reports,  "may  be  the  trend  of 
the  times,  but  that  makes  them  no  easier  to  take.  Prices  are  going 
up  for  both  men  and  materials  and  this  condition  was  reflected 
in  the  new  Perkins  budget,  sharpening  the  problem  of  trying  to 
discover  which  is  the  essential  need  and  which  is  not.  The  budget 
approved  for  the  fiscal  year,  1949-1950,  totaled  $511,705,  but  this 
did  not  include  any  allowances  for  special  maintenance.  On  a 
comparable  basis,  it  was  six  percent  higher  than  the  actual  expenses 
of  the  year  before.  The  closing  of  the  books  at  the  end  of  the  year 
indicated  that  the  total  expense  was  $508,521.76  (still  not  including 
special  maintenance),  one-half  of  one  percent  below  the  budget. 

37 


"This  was  due,"  the  Bursar  states,  "to  the  commendable  care  of  the 
heads  of  the  departments  in  both  planning  and  execution,  and  their 
fine  co-operation,  working  in  the  interest  of  Perkins." 

The  special  maintenance  item  which  formerly  appeared  in  the 
budget  was  not  included  this  year,  because  of  the  large  program 
of  repairs  undertaken  as  a  result  of  the  survey  made  the  year 
before  and  to  which  reference  is  made  in  the  President's  Report 
of  this  year.  The  carrying  out  of  this  program  threw  a  great  deal 
of  responsibility  upon  the  department  of  buildings  and  grounds, 
as  supervised  by  Mr.  Hemphill.  Many  of  the  items  of  work  were 
too  large  to  handle  with  our  own  maintenance  staff,  and  had  to  be 
undertaken  by  contractors.  A  great  deal  of  work,  however,  was 
undertaken  by  our  own  maintenance  men,  supplemented  by  extra 
help. 

The  change  of  Treasurers  made  additional  work  in  the  business 
ofl&ces.  Several  new  accounts,  the  handling  of  special  funds  and 
the  distribution  of  retirement  allowances  have  been  transferred 
from  the  Boston  office  to  the  office  at  the  school.  At  the  beginning 
of  the  year,  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  accounts  were  transferred 
to  the  school  office,  and  these  have  been  well  integrated  and  the 
work  assimilated  by  the  bookkeeping  staff.  During  the  latter  i)art 
of  the  year,  an  extensive  study  of  the  coverage  of  our  fire  and  casualty 
insurance  was  undertaken  and  is  still  in  progress.  As  the  new  year 
opens  a  study  is  being  made  of  the  advisability  of  Perkins'  entering 
the  Social  Security  plan,  now  possible  through  the  recent  amendment 
of  that  act  by  Congress,  to  include  non-profit  institutions.  All  of 
this  work  and  the  general  supervision  of  the  accounts  make  us 
grateful  for  the  efficiency  and  untiring  interest  of  Mr.  Hemphill, 
the  Bursar.  He,  in  turn,  in  his  report,  expresses  his  appreciation 
of  the  cheerful  willingness  and  friendship  of  the  men  in  the  main- 
tenance department  and  of  the  women  in  the  offices. 

The  Massachusetts  Study 

The  Recess  Commission  appointed  by  the  Massachusetts  authori- 
ties to  study  matters  pertaining  to  the  blind  was  continued  for 
another  year.  During  the  winter  the  committee  held  several  hear- 
ings and  the  members  have  made  an  intensive  study  of  the  prob- 
lems of  blindness  and  the  situation  within  the  Commonwealth.  They 
have  visited  work  for  the  blind  outside  of  the  state,  and  have  held 
two  hearings  in  cities  beyond  the  Boston  area.  The  Director  was 
invited  to  testify  at  one  of  the  hearings,  presenting  some  aspects 

38 


of  the  educational  situation.  Asked  about  the  placement  of  Massa- 
chusetts pupils,  he  was  requested  to  make  a  tabulation  of  the  em- 
ployment status  of  those  who  had  left  within  five  years.  A  sum- 
mary of  this  study  may  be  of  interest. 

During  the  years  1945  to  1949,  120  Massachusetts  pupils  left 
Perkins.  Twenty-seven  of  these  were  graduates,  while  ninety-three 
left  for  a  variety  of  reasons.  Of  the  total  of  120,  forty  are  in 
other  schools.  Eliminating  those  in  school,  it  was  interesting  to 
observe  that  about  one  half  (thirteen)  of  the  graduates  were  em- 
ployed, while  less  than  one-third  (seventeen)  of  the  non-graduates 
are  working.  Among  the  non-graduates,  however,  were  twenty-six 
who  had  left  because  they  "ceased  to  progress,"  and  of  that  number 
thirteen  would  be  classified  as  unemployable.  While  this  situation 
may  be  described  as  "not  too  bad,"  it  should  be  better,  and  it  is 
hoped  that  one  of  the  recommendations  of  the  Recess  Commission 
will  be  the  strengthening  of  the  personnel  service  within  the  Divi- 
sion of  the  Blind,  where  responsibility  for  placement  legally  rests. 

In  order  to  give  a  more  comprehensive  picture,  we  secured 
similar  data  regarding  former  pupils  from  outside  of  Massachusetts, 
and  compiled  the  table  below  concerning  all  pupils  who  have  left 
Perkins  in  the  five  years  1945-1949.

Another  study  pertaining  to  the  vocations  of  persons  trained 
at  Perkins  is  to  be  found  in  a  thesis  written  by  Miss  Dorothy 
Steinert  as  part  of  her  work  at  Simmons  College  School  of  Social 
Work.  Miss  Steinert  analyzed  the  records  of  all  the  living  persons, 
who,  after  leaving  Perkins,  went  on  to  higher  education.  This 
study  embraced  a  total  of  68  persons,  but  only  58  between  the  ages 
of  twenty  and  sixty,  (the  normally  employable  age  group)  were 
considered.  Miss  Steinert  pointed  out  that  the  amount  and  type 
of  higher  education  which  these  persons  had  was  extremely  varied, 
ranging  from  one  or  two  years  in  a  specialized  vocational  school 
to  the  attainment  of  an  advanced  degree  in  law,  osteopathy,  or 
social  work.  Approximately  one  half  of  the  fifty-eight  persons 
attended  graduate  schools  after  the  completion  of  their  under- 
graduate studies. 

Study  of  Higher  Education 

At  the  time  the  study  was  made,  October  1948,  forty-eight  of 
the  fifty-eight  persons  were  employed.  The  majority  were  engaged 
in  some  type  of  business  or  professional  work.  The  largest  field 
of  employment  was  education,  with  the  majority  teaching  in  resi- 
dential schools  for  the  blind  or  engaged  in  some  phase  of  education 
for  the  adult  blind.  Only  one  person  was  teaching  in  a  seeing 
school.  Law  was  the  professional  field  of  ten  men,  eight  of  whom 
were  totally  blind  and  have  established  their  own  law  practice. 
Two  were  members  of  state  legislatures.  Only  one  man  who  had 
begun  the  practice  of  law  was  unable  to  finish  it.  He  is  now  en- 
gaged as  a  clerical  worker. 

The  remaining  persons  in  the  study  group  were  employed 
in  the  fields  of  osteopathy,  social  work,  insurance,  public  relations, 
retail  selling,  clerical  work  and  music.  There  were  from  one  to 
four  persons  in  each  of  these  fields.  Only  one  of  the  forty-eight 
employed  persons  found  it  necessary  to  secure  work  in  sheltered 
industry.  The  great  majority  were  engaged  in  business  or  pro- 
fessional fields  where  they  competed  with  sighted  workers. 

"It  was  concluded,"  Miss  Steinert  reported,  "that  for  the 
majority  of  persons  under  study,  their  courses  in  higher  education 
did  benefit  them  vocationally.  The  majority  were  employed  in 
business  or  professional  fields  for  which  some  course  in  higher 
education  was  essential.  Thirty-six  of  the  forty-eight  employed 
persons  had  positions  in  the  general  field  of  their  choice.  Forty- 
four  were  self-supporting,  half  of  whom  were  able  to  contribute 
to  the  support  of  others,  and  all  enjoyed  the  work  they  were  doing.

TEACHING  GEOGRAPHY  AND  WORLD  AFFAIRS 


It  is  true,  however,  that  many  did  not  have  positions  which  are 
generally  open  to  sighted  persons  with  the  same  qualifications. 
It  would  appear  that  there  is  still  need  for  individual  guidance 
and  more  consideration  of  suitable  vocations  for  the  college-trained 
blind." 

The  National  Scene 

Turning  to  the  national  scene,  Perkins  continues  to  make  its 
contribution  through  leadership  and  support.  Twenty-five  staff 
members  attended  the  biennial  convention  of  the  American  Associa- 
tion of  Instructors  of  the  Blind,  held  at  the  Overbrook  School  in 
Philadelphia,  June  26  to  30,  and  nine  members  appeared  on  the 
program.  The  most  interesting  meeting  at  the  convention  was  held 
at  The  Franklin  Institute  in  Philadelphia,  where  a  demonstration 
was  given  of  many  devices  that  have  been  and  are  in  the  process  of 
being  developed  for  the  benefit  of  the  blind.  They  included  stereo- 
typers,  magnifiers,  reading  and  guidance  devices.  The  assembling 
of  these  devices  was  arranged  by  Mr.  Waterhouse,  and  the  Director 
presided  at  the  meeting. 

Mr.  Waterhouse  went  to  Salt  Lake  City  to  attend  the  convention 
of  the  American  Association  of  Workers  for  the  Blind,  as  he  is  secre- 
tary of  the  section  of  "Executive  Heads  of  Publishing  Houses  for 
the  Blind"  and  continued  his  journey  to  the  West  Coast  where  he 
demonstrated  the  new  Perkins  Brailler  to  several  groups  of  blind 
people.  During  the  year  he  has  been  associated  with  research  work 
carried  on  by  the  RCA,  IBM,  The  Franklin  Institute  and  the  Massa- 
chusetts Institute  of  Technology.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  ad- 
visory committee  of  the  Technical  Research  Department  of  the 
American  Foundation  for  the  Blind. 

Dr.  Hayes  through  the  year  has  continued  his  studies,  evalu- 
ating the  many  forms  of  psychological  tests  for  the  blind  within  the 
school  and  outside  of  the  school.  He  has  served  as  chairman  of  the 
National  Psychological  Research  Council  for  the  Blind,  which  is 
sponsored  by  the  Federal  OflEice  of  Vocational  Rehabilitation.  The 
council  has  just  completed  a  very  valuable  bibliography  of  unpub- 
lished research  on  the  blind,  most  of  the  material  being  on  file  in 
university  libraries.  In  addition  to  revealing  what  has  already  been 
done  in  the  field  of  research  for  the  blind,  the  council  is  developing 
an  extensive  program  on  a  nation-wide  basis  which  gives  great 
promise.  Dr.  Hayes  published  several  articles  on  mental  testing  of 
the  blind  and  read  a  paper  on  the  use  of  tests  in  the  Educational  and 

41 


Vocational  Guidance  of  the  Blind  at  the  Convention  of  the  American 
Psychological  Association  in  September  at  State  College,  Pennsyl- 
vania. 

National  Legislation  Jj 

The  Director  has  continued  to  serve  on  the  Boards  of  many 
national  organizations  and  acted  as  chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Legislation  of  the  American  Association  of  Instructors  of  the  Blind. 

In  the  area  of  national  legislation,  the  most  important  action 
was  the  amending  of  the  Social  Security  Act.  Title  X,  covering  Aid 
to  the  Blind,  has  been  revised  to  permit  blind  persons  to  earn  up  to 
fifty  dollars  a  month  v^ithout  deduction  from  the  financial  aid 
given  by  the  State  with  Federal  participation.  This  is  a  great 
achievement  for  which  workers  for  the  blind  have  been  striving  for 
several  years.  Other  activity  pertained  to  the  question  of  whether 
or  not  schools  for  the  blind  would  benefit  under  several  bills  intro- 
duced into  the  Congress  to  provide  Federal  aid  to  schools,  but  no 
legislation  was  enacted  in  this  area.  The  American  Printing  House 
for  the  Blind,  which  is  supported  by  Federal  funds,  had  considerable 
concern  during  the  year,  because  of  an  amendment  to  the  appropria- 
tion bill,  which  would  have  curtailed  its  production  of  large  type 
books  and  a  request  for  a  doubling  of  the  appropriation  for  the 
program  of  the  Printing  House  because  of  increased  costs. 

The  International  Front 

In  the  report  of  last  year,  an  account  was  given  of  the  Inter- 
national Conference  of  Workers  for  the  Blind  held  at  Merton  Col- 
lege, Oxford,  in  August,  1949.  Since  that  time  considerable  pro- 
gress has  been  made  on  the  international  front  and  it  may  be  of 
interest  to  record  some  of  these  developments  in  this  year's  report. 
Readers  of  the  last  report  will  recall  that  the  conference  at  Oxford 
was  attended  by  nearly  one  hundred  workers  in  the  field  of  the 
blind,  representing  eighteen  countries.  At  that  conference  a  mini- 
mum program  of  work  for  the  blind  was  unanimously  adopted  and 
set  forth  as  a  suitable  plan  for  every  country  which  wanted  to 
modernize  or  to  initiate  a  program  for  the  visually  handicapped. 
This  conference  was  interested  primarily  in  work  on  the  adult  level, 
but  at  the  meeting  a  group  of  educators  of  the  blind  proposed  that 
a  similar  conference  at  the  level  of  childhood,  be  called  and  a  Com- 
mittee was  appointed  to  give  consideration  to  such  a  gathering, 
possibly  in  the  summer  of  1951. 

42 


The  findings  of  the  Oxford  conference,  printed  in  a  pamphlet 
entitled  "The  Place  of  the  Blind  in  the  Modern  World,"  have  been 
widely  distributed  and  favorably  received.  The  program  adopted 
and  outlined  in  this  publication  together  with  certain  recommenda- 
tions for  definite  projects  of  work  within  the  field  of  the  blind  was 
presented  to  the  United  Nations  for  consideration  and  approval. 
This  report  was  submitted  to  Social  Commission  V  at  its  meeting  at 
Lake  Success,  December,  1949.  The  steps  which  have  been  taken 
since  that  time  will  be  related  to  show  the  progress  which  has  been 
made,  as  well  as  to  outline  the  procedure  which  is  followed  in  getting 
action  through  the  United  Nations.  The  Social  Commission  which 
is  a  division  of  the  Social  and  Economic  Conference  considered  the 
report  of  the  Oxford  Conference  and  gave  a  favorable  reaction  to 
several  of  the  proposals,  including  one  to  set  up  in  some  country  a 
demonstration  project  for  the  social  rehabilitation  of  the  blind.  The 
Commission  formally  requested  the  Secretary-General  to  develop  a 
program  for  the  blind  including  a  plan  for  a  demonstration  center 
for  social  rehabilitation  of  the  blind,  and  to  report  to  Social  Com- 
mission VI  on  the  progress  of  the  plan,  in  detail,  together  with 
estimated  costs.  The  Social  Commission  also  recommended  to  the 
Economic  and  Social  Commission  its  consideration  of  the  resolution 
approving  the  Oxford  program  as  a  helpful  basis  for  recommenda- 
tions to  governments  seeking  advice,  and  to  recognize  the  interest 
of  the  United  Nations  in  the  rehabilitation  of  the  blind. 

United  Nations 
Acting  on  the  request  of  Social  Commission  V,  the  Secretary- 
General  engaged  the  Associate  Director  of  the  American  Foundation 
of  the  Overseas  Blind,  and  the  Director  of  Perkins,  to  formulate  a 
program  of  work  for  the  blind,  which  would  include  a  plan  for  a 
demonstration  project  of  rehabilitation.  Such  a  program  was  pre- 
pared, and  upon  receiving  it,  the  Secretary-General  submitted  it  to 
a  meeting  of  the  heads  of  the  allied  agencies  of  UN,  UNESCO, 
WHO,  ILO  and  others,  at  a  meeting  held  in  Geneva  in  March,  1950. 
These  organizations  all  have  an  interest  in  work  for  the  blind  and 
the  purpose  of  this  meeting  was  to  integrate  the  recommended  pro- 
gram into  the  plans  of  the  agencies  so  that  there  would  be  uni- 
formity and  also  to  assign  special  aspects  to  the  specialized  agencies, 
so  that  there  would  be  no  duplication.  This  meeting  approved  the 
plan  in  principal,  and  the  proposal  for  a  rehabilitation  center  as 
well  as  the  establishment  of  a  division  of  the  blind  within  the 
Secretariat. 

43 


The  program  as  revised  through  these  steps  was  then  presented 
at  the  meeting  of  Social  Commission  VI,  held  in  New  York  in  April 
and  May,  1950.  This  Commission  was  not  so  favorably  disposed 
toward  a  separate  department  of  the  blind  as  the  fifth  Commission 
and  recommended  that  a  section  be  set  up  for  the  physically  handi- 
capped, including  the  blind.  A  small  appropriation  for  this  purpose 
was  recommended.  It  was  also  not  disposed  to  press  the  matter  of 
a  rehabilitation  center.  The  modified  report  was  then  sent  to  the 
eleventh  session  of  the  Economic  and  Social  Council  which  met  in 
Geneva  in  July. 

The  Social  and  Economic  Council,  at  the  Geneva  meeting,  con- 
sidered the  report  of  the  Social  Commission,  based  on  the  recom- 
mendations of  the  Geneva  meeting  and  of  the  Secretariat,  and 
recommended  the  developing  of  a  broad  coordinated  program  of 
rehabilitation  of  the  physically  handicapped  including  the  blind.  The 
Council  requested  the  Secretary-General  to  plan,  jointly  with  the 
specialized  agencies,  a  well  coordinated  program ;  to  provide  services 
under  Res.  58  (I)  ;  to  expand  present  facilities  and  to  provide  pros- 
thetic devices;  to  include  in  the  budget  for  1951,  funds  to  employ 
a  staff  to  initiate  the  program,  and  finally,  to  report  to  Social  Com- 
mission VII,  the  progress  made. 

The  United  Nations'  interest  in  the  blind  had  been  developing 
at  the  same  time  in  another  section  of  the  Social  Commission — the 
Committee  on  Social  Aspects  of  the  Rehabilitation  of  Physically 
Handicapped  Children,  At  the  first  meeting  of  the  Social  Commis- 
sion, February,  1947,  a  resolution  was  passed  calling  for  studies  of 
handicapped  children.  This  was  a  carry-over  from  work  v/hich  had 
previously  been  done  by  the  League  of  Nations  and  had  later  been 
an  activity  of  UNRRA.  The  Commission  had  been  charged  to  make 
a  study  on  "The  Welfare  and  Re-education  of  Children,  physically 
or  mentally  handicapped  or  in  moral  danger."  This  study  was 
approved  by  the  Social  and  Economic  Council  at  its  fourth  session 
in  March,  1948.  Only  recently,  however,  has  authorization  been 
given  to  proceed  with  the  study,  and  that  authority  was  limited  to  a 
survey  of  the  blind,  it  being  felt  that  the  blind  was  an  appropriate 
group  with  which  to  begin. 

International  Survey 

Steps  are  now  under  way  to  conduct  an  international  survey  of 
conditions  among  blind  children  throughout  the  world.  The  Social 
Commission   has    requested    the    Director    of    Perkins    to   act    as 

44 


Consultant  on  this  study  and  to  write  the  report.  A  questionnaire  has 
been  sent  to  different  countries  and  other  contacts  are  being  de- 
veloped which  will  give  more  detailed  information.  As  a  part  of 
this  study,  a  person  has  reviewed  all  the  material  in  the  Perkins 
Blindiana  Library,  taking  country  by  country,  seeking  information 
which  will  meet  the  requirements  set  forth  in  the  questionnaire. 
Perkins  can  well  be  proud  of  the  valuable  material  which  it  has 
within  that  Library  and  of  the  fact  that  it  is  now  being  put  to  use 
in  a  world-wide  study. 

The  Director  spent  most  of  the  month  of  April  in  Iran,  where 
he  went  at  the  invitation  of  the  Imperial  Organization  for  Social 
Welfare  to  study  the  problems  of  the  blind  in  that  country  and  to 
lay  out  a  program  for  their  education.  This  trip  was  arranged  by 
the  Iran  Foundation,  Inc.  of  New  York  City  through  consultation 
with  His  Excellency,  the  Ambassador  of  Iran  in  Washington.  Ar- 
rangements were  made  for  the  flight  to  Iran,  leaving  April  2,  and 
returning  to  New  York,  April  29.  During  that  time  15,000  miles 
were  travelled  and  stops  made  in  ten  foreign  countries. 

On  the  way  over,  two  days  were  spent  in  Paris  to  confer  with 
officials  of  UNESCO.  A  very  pleasant  interview  was  held  with 
Senor  Torres  Bodet,  Secretary-General  of  UNESCO,  discussing  the 
interests  of  that  organization  in  the  blind,  particularly  in  connection 
with  the  International  Conference  of  Educators  of  the  Blind  for 
which  the  sponsorship  of  UNESCO  is  desired.  Conferences  were 
also  held  with  Sir  Clutha  Mackenzie,  Consultant  on  Braille  for 
UNESCO,  who  had  just  completed  a  series  of  international  confer- 
ences looking  toward  the  attainment  of  a  world-wide  system  of 
Braille.  Opportunity  was  given  to  see  the  charts  of  this  study  and 
to  confer  with  those  who  are  interested  in  it.  Returning,  a  day  was 
spent  in  Amsterdam  at  the  school  in  Bussum,  where  it  has  been  pro- 
posed to  have  the  International  Conference  of  Educators.  Dr. 
Zeper,  head  of  the  school,  was  a  genial  host  and  was  very  cordial  in 
his  desire  to  hold  the  conference  at  his  beautiful  school  fifteen  miles 
outside  of  Amsterdam. 

A  Program  for  Iran 
Upon  arriving  in  Teheran  a  conference  was  held  with  the  Coun- 
cil of  the  Imperial  Society  at  which  Princess  Achraf,  twin  sister  of 
the  Shah,  presided.  Other  conferences  were  held  with  Dr.  Javad 
Ashtiani,  Director  of  the  Imperial  Organization,  Dr.  A.  Torab 
Mehra,  Medical  Director  of  the  Iran  Foundation,  and  other  officials 

45 


in  the  field  of  education  and  social  welfare.  While  most  of  the  time 
was  spent  in  Teheran,  a  pleasant  visit  was  made  to  Isfahan,  the 
former  capital  of  Iran,  which  is  more  typical  of  the  Persia  of  history 
than  the  modern  city  of  Teheran.  The  only  organized  work  for  the 
blind  in  Iran  is  at  Isfahan,  and  is  being  carried  on  by  the  English 
Church  Mission.  A  small  school  with  about  twenty-five  pupils  is 
conducted  by  Miss  Gwen  Gasper  at  the  mission.  In  view  of  its 
restricted  personnel  and  limited  finances,  excellent  work  is  being 
done. 

A  fifty  page  report  outlining  a  program  of  education  and  other 
facilities  for  the  blind  was  prepared  while  in  Iran  and  submitted  to 
the  Imperial  Council.  This  calls  for  a  ten-year  program  of  educa- 
tion, based  largely  on  the  system  of  schooling  which  now  prevails 
in  that  country.  It  also  includes  provision  for  the  proposed  reha- 
bilitation center  if  Iran  is  chosen  by  the  United  Nations.  This  pro- 
gram was  favorably  received  and  already  some  of  the  first  recom- 
mendations are  being  implemented.  The  Director  found  this  trip 
a  most  interesting  experience  and  returned  with  his  horizons  widened 
and  a  higher  appreciation  of  the  prestige  of  Perkins  which  caused 
the  authorities  in  that  far-away  country  to  send  to  this  School  for 
guidance  in  planning  its  program.

PHYSICAL  THERAPY  DEPARTMENT 

This  year  we  discontinued  our  former  program  of  general 
ultraviolet  treatments  to  the  entire  student  body.  The  only  stu- 
dents who  received  ultraviolet  treatments  were  those  for  whom 
they  were  prescribed  by  either  our  Medical  Department  or  a  der- 
matologist at  the  Massachusetts  General  Hospital. 

All  the  pupils  in  the  Lower  School  received  special  posture 
training  in  weekly  posture  classes.  Each  month  the  class  in  the 
Primary  and  Intermediate  Departments  which  had  worked  the  hard- 
est to  maintain  good  posture  was  awarded  the  Good  Posture  Ban- 
ner for  a  month.  Those  pupils  in  the  Lower  School  who  showed 
great  improvement  in  their  posture  were  awarded  Posture  Pete 
pins. 

A  preliminary  course  in  massage  was  offered  to  those  students 
in  the  Upper  School  who  were  interested  in  massage  as  their  vo- 
cation. 

Twenty-nine  students  received  special  training  in  corrective 
exercises.  There  were  five  appointments  made  at  the  Arthritic 
Clinic  at  the  Massachusetts  General  Hospital  for  some  of  our 
students.  Eight  pupils  were  fitted  to  arch  supports  at  the  Ortho- 
pedic Clinic  at  the  Massachusets  General  Hospital. 

Summary 

Ultraviolet  treatments   1062      Corrective    exercise    periods    825 

Infrared  treatments   172      Posture  classes  811 

Massages     144      Massagre  classes   104

WORKSHOP  FOR  ADULTS 

THE  WORKSHOP  has  been  confronted  by  the  ever  increasing 
costs  of  operation  which  prevail  in  all  industrial  enterprises 
both  sheltered  and  commercial. 

Our  yearly  statement  reflects  this  condition  as  well  as  the 
added  expense  of  a  very  essential  training  program  undertaken  in 
recent  months. 

A  plan  for  trainees  in  the  mattress-making  department  was 
reinstituted  and  in  addition  an  entirely  new  scheme  for  the  pro- 
duction of  upholstered  springs  was  initiated.  The  latter  project 
is  a  radical  departure  from  previously  accepted  occupational  pur- 
suits in  our  field. 

Results  of  this  apprentice  set-up  have  fallen  short  of  expecta- 
tions but  it  is  inadvisable  to  formulate  definite  plans  for  the  con- 
tinuance of  the  project  without  careful  study  of  the  factors  in- 
volved in  an  arrangement  of  this  kind. 

In  a  forthcoming,  detailed  report,  to  the  Director  and  trustees, 
comprehensive  suggestions  and  recommendations  will  be  submitted 
for  consideration.  j 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  work  done  and  wages  paid 
in  the  Workshop  Department  during  the  fiscal  year  1949-50 :

STATEMENT  OF  ACCOUNTS 

To  the  Trustees  of 

Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind 

Boston,  Massachusetts 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  Institution  and 
Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind  (not  including  Howe  Memorial 
Press  Fund)  as  of  August  31,  1950  and  the  related  statements  of  Reserve 
Fund  for  Depreciation,  of  income  and  expenditures  and  of  income  and 
expenses  of  the  Works  Department,  all  for  the  year  then  ended.  We 
have  also  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  as 
of  August  31,  1950  and  the  related  statement  of  income  and  expenses 
for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  examinations  were  made  in  accordance 
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  and  accordingly  included 
such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such  other  auditing  procedures 
as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances. 

We  examined  all  investment  securities  recorded  as  owned  by  the 
Institution  and  by  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  as  of  August  31,  1950 
and  held  for  their  respective  accounts  by  the  Fiduciary  Trust  Company. 
We  audited  all  changes  in  investments  during  the  year  then  ended  and 
satisfied  ourselves  that  investment  income  receivable  during  the  year 
was  duly  received. 

As  at  August  31,  1950  the  Trustees  voted  to  charge  the  deficit  for 
the  year  then  ended  ($82,196.56)  against  the  Reserve  Fund  for  Depre- 
ciation (Exhibit  B), 

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present 
fairly  the  position  of  the  Institution  and  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press 
Fund  at  August  31,  1950  and  the  results  of  their  operations  for  the 
fiscal  year  then  ended.

PERKINS  INSTITUTION 

HISTORY 

IN  1826  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher  returned  to  Boston  from  Paris  resolved  to  provide  for 
the  blind  of  Massachusetts  the  same  care  afforded  them  in  France.  Enlisting 
the  aid  of  friends,  a  committee  was  formed  and  upon  petition  to  the  Legislature 
an  Act  of  Incorporation  was  granted  on  March  2,  1829,  establishing  "The  New  England 
Asylum  for  the  Blind,"  the  first  school  in  America  for  those  without  sight.  In  1831 
Dr.  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  just  returned  from  participation  in  the  Greek  wars,  was 
elected  the  first  director,  and  in  August,  1832,  the  firet  classes  were  held  in  the  house 
of  Dr.   Howe's  father  on   Pleasant   Street. 

During  the  early  years  Col.  Thomas  H.  Perkins  became  interested  in  the  little 
school  and  gave  for  its  use  his  large  house  on  Pearl  Street.  The  need  for  larger  quarters 
was  soon  apparent,  and  in  1839  the  great  hotel  in  South  Boston  was  purchased.  This 
purchase  was  made  possible  by  the  assent  of  Colonel  Perkins  to  the  sale  of  the  house 
that  he  had  given  to  the  School.  Because  of  this  magnanimous  attitude  of  Colonel 
Perkins  the  Trustees  renamed  the  school  "Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts 
Asylum  for  the  Blind."  This  name  was  changed  in  1877  to  the  present  name,  "Perkins 
Institution  and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind." 

Dr.  Howe  directed  the  growing  work  of  Perkins  Institution  for  forty  years  and 
was  succeeded  in  1876  by  his  Greek  protege  and  son-in-law,  Michael  Anagnos.  Mr. 
Anagnos  created  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  for  publishing  embossed  books  and  for 
the  manufacture  of  appliances  for  education  of  the  blind.  In  1887  he  founded  the 
Kindergarten  in  Jamaica  Plain,  the  first  school  in  the  world  for  little  blind  children. 
After  thirty  years  of  leadership   Mr.   Anagnos  died  in  Rumania  in   1906. 

In  1907  the  directorship  of  Perkins  Institution  fell  to  Edward  E.  Allen,  head  of 
the  school  for  the  blind  in  Philadelphia,  where  he  had  just  rebuilt  the  school  plant 
on  a  garden  site  outside  of  the  city.  Coming  to  Boston,  Mr.  Allen  began  plans  for 
a  new  Perkins,  and  in  1912  the  Institution  and  in  1913  the  Kindergarten  were  housed 
in  the  beautiful  new  plant  at  Watertown.  These  buildings,  situated  on  an  old  estate 
of  thirty-four  acres  on  the  banks  of  the  Charles  River,  have  school  and  residence 
facilities  for  nearly  three  hundred  pupils.  Dr.  Allen  retired  in  1931.  He  was  followed 
by  Gabriel  Farrell,  who  retired  in  1951. 

PURPOSE 

Perkins  Institution  provides  for  the  visually  handicapped  youth  of  New  England 
full  educational  opportunity  from  Kindergarten  through  High  School.  The  content 
of  instruction  corresponds  with  that  offered  to  seeing  boys  and  girls  in  the  public 
schools.  The  methods  of  instruction  of  necessity  differ.  Principal  differences  are 
that  embossed  books  take  the  place  of  ink  print,  and  studies  are  taught  objectively. 
In  the  adaptation  and  invention  of  means  of  instructing  the  blind,  Perkins  has  been 
a  pioneer  through  its  century  of  existence.  Much  attention  is  paid  to  physical  and 
manual  training  and  to  music.  Opportunity  is  provided  for  those  qualified  to  pursue 
higher  studies  or  take  advanced  work  in  music  and  vocational  fields. 

Boys  and  girls  without  sight  or  with  insufficient  sight  to  read  ink-print  are  ad- 
mitted as  pupils,  if  capable  of  education  and  in  good  health.  While  at  the  school  pupils 
reside  in  cottages  where  the  teachers  also  live,  and  through  this  association  they  acquire 
that  unconscious  tuition  which  is  such  an  important  part  of  the  program  of  socializa- 
tion. The  primary  aim  of  Perkins  Institution  is  to  qualify  its  visually  handicapped 
pupils  to  take  contributory  places  in  normal  life.  New  pupils  are  admitted  in  September 
and  February,  and  all  pupils  must  return  to  their  homes  for  the  short  vacations  at 
Christmas  and  Easter  and  for  the  long  vacation  in  the  summer.

REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES 

November  5,  1951 

The  Annual  Report  for  the  academic  year  1950-1951  is  here- 
with submitted  on  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.  This  year, 
which  represented  the  twentieth  under  the  directorship  of  Gabriel 
Farrell,  was  also  the  final  one  of  his  administration. 

One  of  Dr.  Farrell's  first  acts  after  becoming  Director,  was 
the  setting  up  of  a  retirement  plan  for  the  staff.  Under  this  ar- 
rangement, staff  members  retire  at  the  age  of  sixty-five.  There  is 
a  provision  in  the  plan,  whereby  members  of  the  administration 
and  others  who  do  not  have  direct  contact  with  the  students  may, 
with  the  consent  of  the  Trustees,  remain  in  service  until  the  age  of 
seventy.  Dr.  Farrell  did  not  feel  that  he  should  make  an  exception 
of  himself,  and  declined  to  accept  the  provision  of  this  clause,  which 
would  have  permitted  him  to  remain  in  office  for  some  years  longer. 
During  the  fall  of  1950,  he  requested  the  President  to  take  what- 
ever steps  were  necessary,  to  procure  a  successor. 

The  President  appointed  a  sub-committee  which  made  a  very 
thorough  study  of  available  candidates,  both  among  workers  for 
the  blind  and  outside  this  specialized  field.  After  careful  delibera- 
tion, the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Trustees  decided  to  recommend 
to  the  full  membership,  the  appointment  of  Edward  J.  Waterhouse, 
to  succeed  Dr.  Farrell.  At  a  special  meeting  of  the  Board  on 
April   17,   1951,  this  recommendation  was  unanimously  approved. 

Mr.  Waterhouse  has  been  on  the  staff  of  Perkins  Institution, 
except  for  certain  leaves  of  absence,  since  1933.  He  had  previously 
had  some  experience  in  the  education  of  the  blind  in  England.  He 
has  served  as  cottage  master  in  the  Lower  and  Upper  Schools,  as  a 
teacher  of  English  and  mathematics,  and  before  World  War  II, 
supervised  a  WPA  project  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  maps  and 
models  for  the  blind.  Following  World  War  II,  he  became  Manager 
of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press. 

Dr.  Farrell's  services  will  not  be  lost  immediately  to  the  Insti- 
tution. He  will  continue  to  lecture  to  the  Harvard  Class  and  to 
assist  the  new  Director  in  other  ways.  He  has  been  appointed  to 
the  staff  of  the  Episcopal  Theological  Seminary  in  Cambridge,  where 
he  will  be  in  residence  and  so  easily  available  to  Perkins,  He  will 
retain  his  membership  in  national  organizations  for  the  blind, 
including  the  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind,  of  which  he  is 
Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  during  this  year  he  will  be 
actively  engaged  as  chairman  of  the  sponsoring  committee  of  the 
International  Conference  of  Educators  of  Blind  Youth,  to  be  held 
in  Amsterdam,  Holland,  during  the  summer  of  1952. 

In  his  annual  report  of  this  year  and  those  for  the  nineteen  years 
which  precede  it,  Dr.  Farrell  has  told  the  story  of  his  administra- 

14 


tion.  In  every  way,  save  perhaps  financially,  the  Institution  has 
grown  in  stature.  Educational  demands  change  constantly  and  this 
is  particularly  true  of  the  years  of  the  depression,  the  war  and  the 
postwar  period.  Perkins  has  adapted  its  organization  and  its 
policies  accordingly.  Moreover,  the  three  schools  which  operated 
formerly  almost  independently,  the  Lower  School,  the  Girls'  Upper 
School  and  the  Boys'  Upper  School,  have  largely  been  integrated 
into  an  effective  unit. 

Undoubtedly  the  accomplishment  by  which  Dr.  Farrell  will  be 
longest  remembered  is  his  establishment  of  a  special  department  for 
the  deaf-blind,  the  CHILDREN  OF  THE  SILENT  NIGHT.  While 
Perkins  has  had  at  least  one  deaf-blind  pupil  enrolled  ever  since 
1837,  when  Laura  Bridgman  came  to  Boston,  the  recognition  of 
this  work  as  a  special  field  requiring  the  raising  of  special  funds 
and  the  training  of  specialized  teachers,  grew  to  fruition  during 
Dr.  Farrell's  early  years.  The  department  is  now  well  established 
and  is  probably  the  best  known  in  its  field. 

During  the  past  year,  the  employees  at  the  Workshop  and  at 
the  Howe  Memorial  Press  lost  a  good  friend  in  their  former  Manager, 
Mr.  Frank  C,  Bryan,  who  first  came  to  Perkins  in  the  early  days  of 
Dr.  Allen's  direction.  During  the  all  too  short  period  of  his  retire- 
ment, he  had  maintained  close  contact  with  both  the  groups  he  had 
managed  for  so  long. 

During  the  past  year,  the  following  members  of  the  Corpora- 
tion were  lost  to  us  through  death : 

Jan.  1951  Dr.  A.  S.  Hill,  Somerville 

Jan.  1951  Mr.  Richard  Gary  Curtis,  Boston 

Feb.  1951  Rev.  Edgar  W.  Anderson 

May  1951  Mr.  R.  Clipston  Sturgis,  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

June  1951  Mrs.  Frederick  J.  Alley,  Boston 

July  1951  Miss  Minna  B.  Hall,  Brookline 

July  1951  Mrs.  Henry  P.  Kidder,  Meadville,  Pa. 

April  &  May,  1949     Both  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Richard  B.  Carter 
May  1950  John  H.  Clifford,  Esquire,  New  Bedford 

Mr.  Sturgis  has  left  his  monument  for  future  generations  here, 
as  he  was  the  architect  of  the  Watertown  plant.  The  Institution 
will  always  remain  grateful  for  their  interest  and  aid. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Reginald  Fitz,  M.D.,  President

REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 

November  5,  1951 

IN  MAKING  THIS  REPORT  for  the  120th  year  of  Perkins  Insti- 
tution one  cannot  but  be  mindful  of  the  fact  that  it  is  also  the 
twentieth  year  of  this  administration.  This  makes  it  appropriate 
to  incorporate  in  the  report  not  only  the  record  of  the  year  but 
also  a  brief  review  of  the  events  within  the  field  of  the  blind  during 
th€  past  score  of  years.  In  hardly  any  other  period  of  time  during 
the  history  of  the  school  or  indeed  in  recorded  history  of  the 
blind  have  so  many  portentous  moves  taken  place  for  the  benefit 
of  one  group  of  our  general  population.  During  this  time  we  have 
had  to  carry  on  through  the  depression  of  the  thirties,  the  brief 
economic  recovery  prior  to  the  direful  days  of  World  War  II, 
with  its  consequent  period  of  dislocation,  followed  by  the  few  years 
which  seemed  like  normal  only  to  be  upset  by  the  cold  war,  cul- 
minating in  the  Korean  situation.  All  of  these  events  made  their 
impress  on  educational  and  social  institutions  and  thereby  make  it 
difficult  to  measure  progress  by  a  comparison  either  of  costs  or 
facilities  during  the  score  of  years  of  this  administration. 

The  most  extraordinary  change  at  Perkins  between  1931  and 
1951  has  been  in  its  population.  This  has  not  been  upward,  as 
some  might  consider  a  sign  of  progress,  nor  downward,  as  a  step 
in  the  reduction  of  blindness  which  must  always  be  our  ultimate 
goal;  rather  the  number  of  pupils  in  our  school  is  found  to  be 
practically  the  same  this  year  as  it  was  twenty  years  ago ;  namely. 
261  in  1931  and  256  in  1951.  Between  these  years,  however,  there 
were  wide  fluctuations  with  a  high  enrollment  of  277  in  1933  and 
a  low  of  234  in  1943.  The  reason  for  the  upward  surge  of  the  past 
few  years  is  the  large  increase  of  visual  impairment  in  children 
born  prematurely  which  was  presented  in  considerable  detail  in 
our  last  Annual  Report.  While  research  into  the  causes  of  retro- 
lental  fibroplasia  has  continued  we  are  sorry  to  have  to  report  that 
no  positive  factors  have  been  revealed,  although  progress  has  been 
made  in  eliminating  suspected  negative  factors.  A  recent  co- 
ordination of  the  several  groups  interested  in  research  in  this  area 
is  perhaps  the  most  helpful  aspect  at  present. 

The  significant  fact  in  the  change  in  population  at  Perkins  is 
that  our  age  distribution   is  almost  reversed.     A  comparison  of 

16

enrollment  of  the  Lower  School  and  the  Upper  School  reveals  these 
changes  at  five  year  intervals:

From  these  figures  it  will  be  observed  that  in  twenty  years  the 
Lower  School  has  increased  from  117  in  1931  to  161  in  1951,  while 
the  Upper  School  has  decreased  from  143  to  86  even  though  we 
have  extended  our  Upper  School  from  six  to  seven  grades.  A  more 
striking  illustration  of  the  change  is  made  by  pointing  out  that  in 
the  Kindergarten  and  the  two  lowest  grades  there  are  now  102 
pupils  and  in  the  two  highest  grades,  plus  post  graduates,  there  are 
only  18  pupils.  Considerably  more  than  one-third  of  the  school  is 
in  the  three  lowest  classes.  It  does  not  take  much  imagination  to 
see  how  decisively  this  situation  has  changed  our  program  in 
regard  to  space,  facilities,  equipment,  and  teaching  staff. 

The  first  big  wave  in  the  number  of  little  children  applying 
for  admission  came  a  year  ago.  In  order  to  accommodate  them 
we  had  to  convert  May  Cottage,  an  Upper  School  girls'  house, 
into  residence  and  school  for  kindergarteners.  This  so  success- 
fully cared  for  twenty-three  pupils  that  when  the  second  wave 
approached  this  past  summer,  Oliver  Cottage  also  in  the  Girls' 
Upper  School  was  re-equipped  for  kindergarten  use.  To  accom- 
plish this  the  Oliver  girls  were  transferred  to  Fisher  Cottage  which 
for  three  years  has  been  occupied  by  the  Deaf-Blind  Department, 
which  in  turn  has  been  moved  to  the  Director's  Cottage.  The 
latter  has  been  considered  too  large  for  a  modern  family  and 
adapts  itself  adequately  to  providing  living  and  school  facilities 
for  from  eight  to  twelve  of  the  younger  deaf-blind  pupils  and  the 
necessary  staff.  The  older  deaf-blind  pupils  will  live  in  cottages 
with  children  of  their  own  age. 

Before  going  further  into  changes  that  have  taken  place  in 
the  past  two  decades  let  us  report  the  events  of  the  year  which 
closed  academically  on  June  19,  and  fiscally  on  August  31.  On  the 
whole,  the  year  was  one  of  the  best  that  we  have  had  under  this 
administration.  Good  health  was  maintained,  a  fine  spirit  pre- 
vailed, and  the  planned  program  moved  along  in  a  smooth  way. 

17 


The  chief  area  of  difficulty,  as  one  might  expect,  was  in  the 
business  affairs.  While  the  maintenance  staff  carried  on  effectively, 
the  domestic  staff  was  hard  to  hold  and  the  purchasing  of  supplies 
was  not  easy.  Great  credit  is  due  to  Mr.  Hemphill  and  his  staff 
for  their  planning  and  maintenance.  In  the  administration  office 
Mr.  Waterhouse,  Manager  of  the  Howe  Press  and  teacher  of  higher 
mathematics,  was  asked  to  use  his  teaching  time  as  administrative 
assistant  to  the  Director  because  of  the  Director's  commitment 
to  undertake  a  world  survey  of  social  conditions  among  blind 
children  for  the  United  Nations. 

Educational  Direction 

The  educational  direction  set  up  a  year  ago  worked  so  success- 
fully that  it  was  continued,  with  Mr.  Stone  serving  as  Principal 
and  with  Miss  Carpenter  and  Mr.  Smith  acting  as  deans  of  girls 
and  boys  respectively.  Miss  Drucker  who  began  the  year  as 
Supervisor  of  the  Lower  School  and  Mrs.  Blum,  who  was  head  of 
the  May  Cottage  group,  were  both  forced  to  give  up  their  work 
before  the  year  was  over.  Mrs.  Blum  left  in  November  because 
her  husband,  a  physician,  was  called  into  military  service.  Miss 
Gray,  kindergarten  teacher  in  Bradlee  Cottage,  was  transferred 
to  May  Cottage  to  assume  charge,  while  a  new  teacher,  Mrs.  Danner, 
filled  the  vacancy  in  Bradlee  Cottage.  Because  of  ill  health 
Miss  Drucker  carried  on  in  a  part-time  capacity  from  the  New  Year 
until  the  spring  vacation  when  she  had  to  give  up  all  work.  She 
expects  to  return  next  year  but  will  teach  English  in  the  Upper 
School.    In  May,  Mr.  Stone  took  over  active  direction  of  the  Lower 

School. 

Because  of  the  increased  number  of  pupils  in  the  Lower  School, 
four  additional  kindergarten  teachers  were  engaged  and  several 
vacancies  had  to  be  filled.  In  order  to  make  adequate  preparations 
for  the  opening  of  school  under  the  new  program,  all  of  the  new 
teachers  were  asked  to  report  at  Perkins  a  week  ahead  of  normal 
opening.  During  these  days,  their  programs  were  explained,  equip- 
ment organized,  objectives  of  the  school  outlined  and  personal 
conferences  held  between  the  supervisors  and  the  individual  teachers. 
This  proved  helpful  and  enabled  the  teachers  to  have  everything 
in  readiness  when  the  pupils  reported  on  Tuesday,  September  19, 
1950,  to  begin  on  Wednesday,  the  full  schedule  of  classes  in  the 
academic,  music,  and  industrial  arts  departments. 

18 


Religious  education  classes  began  on  Thursday,  September  28, 
meeting  weekly  thereafter  until  June.  This  work  is  carried  on  for 
those  pupils  who  wish  to  attend  (and  practically  all  do),  by  teachers 
sent  in  by  the  Catholic  and  Protestant  Guilds  for  the  Blind.  In- 
struction is  provided  for  the  Jewish  children  by  Boston  Aid  for 
the  Blind,  Inc.  These  three  organizations  are  helpful  in  meeting 
the  spiritual  needs  of  our  children  and  are  always  ready  to  provide 
material  aid  as  needed  without  regard  to  the  religious  affiliations 
of  the  children.  For  example,  Boston  Aid  has  for  many  years 
provided  funds  for  camping  for  all  boys  wishing  that  form  of 
summer  recreation.  Retreats  and  conferences  for  Upper  School 
pupils  were  held  over  the  weekends  of  October  7  and  May  5  by  the 
Catholic  and  Protestant  Guilds. 

October  Events 

October  featured  events  for  parents  and  teachers  as  well  as 
pupils.  On  Columbus  Day,  the  12th  of  October,  parents  were 
invited  for  informal  lunch  in  the  cottages  where  their  children 
lived,  followed  by  tours  of  the  school  with  pupils  escorting  their 
parents  to  places  which  the  boys  and  girls  wanted  them  to  see. 
At  three  o'clock  all  gathered  in  Dwight  Hall  for  a  program  by  the 
chorus  and  a  talk  by  the  Director.  Over  the  weekend  of  the  13th 
five  girls  with  two  teachers  went  to  Baltimore  in  the  school  beach 
wagon  to  join  with  girls  from  five  other  schools  for  the  blind  in 
the  annual  play  day  held  in  rotation  at  each  of  the  several  schools 
for  the  blind  on  the  eastern  coast.  Sunday  was  spent  visiting 
Washington  and  the  drive  home  followed  on  Monday.  On  Wednes- 
day evening,  October  18,  the  annual  staff  reception  was  held  at  the 
Director's  cottage. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Corporation  took  place  on  Monday, 
November  6,  when  the  reports  of  the  Trustees,  the  Treasurer  and 
the  Director  were  received  and  ordered  to  be  printed  making  up 
the  bulk  of  these  annual  reports,  of  which  this  is  the  one  hundred 
and  twentieth.  Officers  were  elected  as  listed  at  the  beginning  of 
this  volume  and  a  pleasant  tea  was  enjoyed  by  the  few  who 
attended.  The  annual  investiture  of  the  members  of  the  Boys' 
Council  was  held  on  November  9.  On  the  tenth  of  the  month  high 
honors  were  paid  to  the  School's  first  two  directors.  For  the  first 
time  these  dual  annual  observances  took  place  on  the  same  day 
rather  than  on  the  natal  days  of  those  commemorated— Michael 

19 


Anagnos,  the  second  director  and  founder  of  the  kindergarten 
(November  7)  and  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  first  director  (Novem- 
ber 10).  This  seemed  to  be  a  happy  plan  and  gave  opportunity 
for  many  to  attend  both  exercises.  The  following  day  being 
Saturday,  no  classes  were  held  for  the  Upper  School  and  a  long 
weekend  home  was  possible  for  many  pupils  and  teachers. 

The  Victory  Banquet,  celebrating  the  winning  by  Moulton  Cot- 
tage of  the  annual  inter-cottage  football  series,  was  served  at  that 
cottage  on  November  14,  with  Frank  Fallon,  radio  sports  announcer, 
as  principal  speaker.  Parents  of  Blind  Children,  now  a  strong 
and  active  organization,  held  its  November  meeting  at  Perkins  on 
the  evening  of  November  16,  with  the  Director  as  speaker.  Nearly 
the  entire  school  went  home  over  the  long  Thanksgiving  weekend 
from  Wednesday  noon,  November  22,  to  the  following  Monday 
morning.  In  the  Red  Feather  drive  for  the  Community  Fund, 
Perkins  staff  and  pupils  raised  $748  and  later  contributed  $339.45 
to  the  American  Red  Cross. 

Christmas 

Although  there  were  a  number  of  social  events  early  in  Decem- 
ber, this  month  is  primarily  devoted  to  concentrated  preparation 
for  the  Christmas  concerts  and  the  school  observances  held  before 
the  great  holiday.  Three  concerts  were  presented  as  usual  in 
Dwight  Hall  to  capacity  audiences,  who  were  most  appreciative  of 
the  program  rendered  by  the  Upper  School  chorus  occupying  the 
stage  and  the  Children's  Choir  sitting  in  the  balcony.  Due  to  the 
small  size  of  the  Upper  School  the  program  was  simpler  than  in 
former  years  and  several  favorite  selections  of  past  programs  gave 
a  familiarity  which  brought  forth  high  praise  from  those  attending. 
The  first  concert  was  on  Friday  evening,  the  15th;  the  second  on 
Sunday  afternoon,  the  17th,  and  the  closing  concert  on  Tuesday 
evening,  the  19th.  Following  the  last  concert  many  pupils  went 
home  with  their  parents  while  the  remaining  students  left  for  home 
the  next  morning  to  stay  for  the  long  Christmas  holiday. 

The  Winter  Team 

The  winter  term  started  on  January  3,  and  because  of  the 
early  date  of  Easter  (March  25)  was  shorter  than  usual,  the  school 
having  closed  for  the  spring  vacation  on  March  16.  In  this  period 
many  events  of  interest  took  place,  some  of  them  being  repetitive; 

20 


such  as,  the  movies  every  Wednesday  night  and  the  square  dances 
for  boys  and  for  girls  with  their  partners  coming  from  outside  the 
School  on  every  other  Thursday  night.  During  this  term  an  unusual 
schedule  of  speakers  was  planned  for  morning  assemblies.  On 
Mondays  the  Upper  School  had  the  privilege  of  hearing  from  staff 
or  Harvard  Class  members  who  were  from  England,  the  Philippines, 
India,  Iran,  Italy,  Spain  and  Switzerland.  On  Friday  mornings 
the  speakers  were  pupils  selected  by  the  Student  Councils,  most  of 
those  chosen  being  post-graduates  and  seniors.  Beginning  Febru- 
ary 8,  the  speakers  on  Thursdays  were  the  clergy  of  Watertown, 
who  for  twenty  years  have  brought  messages  from  their  respective 
churches  during  the  Lenten  season. 

Single  events  of  interest  were:  Upper  Boys'  School  Amateur 
Show  on  January  30;  a  staff  tea  on  February  5  to  greet  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Farrell  who  had  been  away  for  two  weeks;  Upper  School 
Girls'  Junior  Prom  on  February  25;  Perkins'  participation  in  the 
"Poll  of  Popular  Music,"  a  Radio  Station  WHDH  broadcast  on 
March  2;  the  Annual  Staff  Party  in  the  form  of  a  circus  in  the 
gymnasium  on  March  6,  and  a  recital  by  Mr.  Barbeau,  voice  teacher 
at  Perkins,  on  March  9.  Mid-year  exams  were  held  February  7-10 
and  as  Lincoln's  Birthday  fell  on  Monday  a  long  weekend  from 
Friday  through  Monday  was  declared,  and  most  of  the  pupils 
went  home. 

Wrestling  continued  to  be  the  main  sport  activity  for  the  boys 
during  this  term  and  this  season  was  a  successful  one  with  a  good 
team,  well  trained  by  Edward  Burlingame,  coach,  and  directed  by 
Charles  Dunbar  who  became  teacher  of  physical  education  January  1 
succeeding  Claude  Ellis  who  was  called  to  service  in  the  Army.  A 
schedule  of  ten  matches  was  planned,  all  with  seeing  schools  except 
the  match  with  the  New  York  Institute  for  the  Blind  on  February  3, 
in  New  York  which  Perkins  won  27  to  11.  The  season  culminated 
over  the  weekend  of  March  2  when  twelve  boys  with  Mr.  Dunbar 
and  Mr.  Smith,  Dean  of  Boys,  went  to  Raleigh,  North  Carolina, 
to  take  part  in  the  wrestling  tournament  of  the  Eastern  Athletic 
Association  of  Schools  for  the  Blind.  Competing  with  teams  from 
eight  schools,  Perkins  won  second  place. 

Washington's  Birthday 

The  outstanding  event  of  the  winter  term  was  the  revival  of 
the  Public  Demonstration  of  activities  of  the  school  on  Washing- 
ton's Birthday.    This  event,  which  had  been  an  annual  occurrence 

21 


for  many  years,  was  given  up  because  of  transportation  difficulties 
during  the  war.  So  many  requests  have  been  received  for  this 
opportunity  for  people  to  see  the  school  in  action  on  a  holiday,  that 
plans  were  made  for  its  revival  this  year.  Demonstrations  of  school 
activities  were  conducted  by  the  pupils;  special  programs  were  ar- 
ranged and  exhibits  set  up.  These  were  viewed  during  the  after- 
noon by  over  one  thousand  persons. 

The  spring  term,  opening  March  28,  was  a  long  and  active  one. 
Mention  should  be  made  first  of  the  many  trips  taken  in  connec- 
tion with  the  academic  program,  some  of  these  reaching  back  into 
the  winter  term.  As  part  of  an  English  course  all  pupils  studying 
Shakespeare  attended  a  performance  of  Romeo  and  Juliet.  Visits 
were  made  by  classes  in  English  and  History  to  Sturbridge  Village, 
the  Wayside  Inn,  Lexington  and  Concord  (with  lunch  at  the  Louisa 
May  Alcott  House) ,  the  House  of  Seven  Gables,  Longfellow's  House, 
the  Paul  Revere  House,  Old  North  Church  and  Faneuil  Hall.  Social 
Studies  classes  went  to  the  local  Police  Courts,  the  Concord  Reforma- 
tory, the  State  House,  the  Maparium  and  the  Museum  of  Science. 
Miss  Carpenter  continued  to  take  the  senior  girls,  and  at  times 
the  one  senior  boy  of  the  class,  to  restaurants  of  interest  and  to 
teas  at  private  homes  as  part  of  the  program  of  training  in  the 
social  amenities.  All  students  from  far  away  were  taken  on  tours 
of  all  places  of  historic  interest  in  the  area. 

An  event  of  special  interest  to  senior  and  junior  girls  was  an 
invitation  to  attend  a  dance  at  the  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  fraternity 
house  of  Boston  University,  on  April  13.  Twenty-two  Perkins  girls 
attended  and  reported  having  a  wonderful  time.  Other  events  to 
be  reported  are:  a  Fashion  Show  on  April  16,  when  girls  in  the 
homemaking  course  modeled  dresses  which  they  had  made;  May  8, 
the  Girls'  Senior  Prom,  and  June  15,  the  Boys'  Senior  Dance.  On 
May  23  the  girls  who  had  attended  Camp  Allen  were  the  guests 
of  its  sponsors,  the  Boston  Kiwanis  Club,  at  the  Hotel  Touraine. 
Staff  teas  were  held  on  April  18  and  June  12.  The  Alumnae  Asso- 
ciation held  its  annual  meeting  on  Saturday,  June  2,  and  the  Alumni 
Association  gathered  on  June  9. 

The  Music  Department  offered  several  programs  within  the 
school,  while  three  groups— the  Girls'  Glee  Club,  the  Senior  and 
the  Junior  bands,  filled  a  number  of  outside  engagements.  The 
annual  recital  of  Junior  pupils  took  place  on  the  evening  of  May  1, 
with  the  recital  of  advanced  pupils  on  May  18.  A  special  recital 
of  music  pupils  of  the  Lower  School  was  held  on  the  afternoon  of 

22 


May  25,  with  a  large  audience  of  parents  in  attendance.  Parents 
of  Upper  School  pupils  and  members  of  the  Corporation  were 
invited  to  a  program  presented  by  the  Boys'  and  Girls'  Glee  Clubs 
which  included  an  act  of  "An  Up-to-date  Grand  Opera,"  by  J.  F. 
Smith,  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  May  29.  This  followed  a  presenta- 
tion of  the  same  program  on  the  previous  evening,  for  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  Massachusetts  Council  of  Organizations  of  the  Blind, 
in  Dwight  Hall.  The  program  on  Tuesday  evening  was  supplemented 
by  a  demonstration  of  work  done  by  the  Boys'  Practical  Arts 
Department  and  a  repetition  of  the  Fashion  Show  held  earlier  for 
a  school  audience.  Following  this  occasion  many  pupils  accom- 
panied their  parents  home  over  Memorial  Day. 

Sports  Program 

There  was  a  very  active  sports  program  during  this  long  spring 
term.  The  track  team  had  a  good  season  in  meets  with  Belmont, 
Needham  and  Watertown  High  Schools  and  a  trip  to  Philadelphia 
over  the  weekend  of  May  12  to  take  part  in  the  spring  meet  of  the 
Athletic  Association  of  Eastern  Schools  for  the  Blind.  Perkins 
took  second  place  in  this  event.  A  new  sports  feature  this  year 
was  a  Field  Day  in  which  all  Upper  School  boys  took  part  as 
members  of  cottage  teams.  Following  the  afternoon  program  there 
was  a  picnic  supper  at  the  pond,  after  which  the  pupils  beat  the 
faculty  in  a  baseball  game.  A  new  trophy  for  this  event  was 
presented  to  Bridgman,  the  winning  cottage.  For  some  years  the 
girls  have  had  a  spring  field  day  between  cottage  groups  and  this 
was  held  this  year  on  June  1.  On  June  6  a  cup  similar  to  that 
given  to  the  boys  was  awarded  to  Brooks  Cottage  at  a  supper  served 
to  all  Upper  School  girls  at  a  table  set  up  in  the  Girls'  Close.  The 
Lower  School,  not  to  be  outdone,  had  a  field  day  of  its  own  on  the 
afternoon  of  May  23,  with  both  boys  and  girls  competing.  Once 
again,  the  girls  from  the  third  grade  through  high  school  were 
guests  of  the  members  of  the  Watertown  Yacht  Club  for  a  sail  in 
their  power  boats  down  the  Charles  River  on  the  evening  of  June  4. 

Graduation 

Graduation  took  place  on  Tuesday,  June  19,  with  only  three 
members  of  the  graduating  class.  To  these  three  diplomas  were 
awarded  by  Dr.  Reginald  Fitz,  president  of  the  Trustees,  and 
certificates  were  given  to  three  boys  for  completion  of  the  piano 

23 


tuning  course;  to  two  girls  for  ediphone  achievement  and  to  three 
girls  for  home  nursing  courses  offered  by  the  American  Red  Cross. 
The  Commencement  address  was  given  by  the  Rev.  Frederic  C. 
Lawrence,  rector  of  St.  Paul's  Church,  Brookline,  and  former 
president  of  the  Protestant  Guild  for  the  Blind.  Invocation  was 
offered  by  the  Rev.  Edson  G.  Waterhouse  of  St.  John's  Methodist 
Church,  Watertown,  and  selections  chosen  by  the  Senior  Class  were 
sung  by  the  Perkins  Chorus.  Following  the  exercises  a  reception 
to  the  seniors  was  held  in  the  court  of  the  Howe  Building.  On  the 
same  morning  exercises  marking  the  promotion  of  seven  boys  and 
four  girls  from  the  Lower  School  to  the  Upper  School  were  held  in 
the  Lower  School  Hall. 

Three  former  Perkins  students  who  had  left  to  attend  their 
home  high  schools  were  graduated  this  June:  Charline  Metcalf 
from  the  High  School  in  Cranston,  Rhode  Island;  Raymond  Grover 
from  the  Hope  High  School  in  Providence,  and  Edward  Moriarty 
from  the  Arlington  High  School.  Edward  has  been  accepted  for 
admission  at  Harvard,  with  scholarship  aid.  Former  students  who 
were  graduated  from  colleges  in  June  are :  Lorraine  McNamara,  '38, 
Framingham  State  Teachers  College;  Norma  Farrar,  '46,  Uni- 
versity of  New  Hampshire;  Priscilla  Blakely,  '47,  Jackson  College; 
Lorraine  Gaudreau,  '47,  Syracuse  University;  Selma  L.  Tirocchi, 
'44,  Marylhurst  College  in  Oregon  and  Rose  Miscio,  national  scholar, 
1945-1947,  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music.  Harriet  M. 
Phillips,  former  student  and  now  teacher  in  the  Lower  School, 
received  her  B.  S.  degree  from  Boston  University. 

While  the  graduating  class  of  this  June,  made  up  of  two  girls 
and  one  boy,  was  one  of  the  smallest  in  recent  years,  the  balance 
was  somewhat  restored  by  the  class  of  the  previous  year,  of  twelve 
boys  and  seven  girls,  which  was  one  of  the  largest  classes  in  the 
past  score  of  years.  A  survey  of  the  graduates  of  the  past  twenty 
years  shows  that  during  that  period  230  received  diplomas,  signi- 
fying the  completion  of  high  school.  Of  these,  126  were  boys  and 
104  girls.  Looking  further  back  in  history,  we  find  that  the  first 
graduating  class  was  in  1878,  and  the  first  diplomas  were  awarded 
in  1880.  Our  records  reveal  that  from  1878  to  1930  inclusive 
there  were  383  graduates.  These  figures  show  that  a  larger  pro- 
portion of  students  are  now  graduating  than  did  in  earlier  years. 
Certainly  during  the  past  twenty  years  this  may  well  be  attributed 
to  the  broadening  of  academic  opportunity  in  contrast  with  the 
larger  stress  on   vocational   training  which  previously   prevailed.

After  Graduation  —  What? 

Miss  Anna  G.  Fish,  secretary  to  Directors  Anagnos  and  Allen 
and  who  for  the  first  several  years  in  this  administration  served 
as  registrar,  made  an  analysis  of  those  who  had  graduated  prior 
to  1931.  In  this  study  she  reported  "291  are  known  to  have  been 
successful — self-supporting,  contributory  members  of  their  com- 
munities. In  this  estimate,  the  homemaker  releasing  someone  to 
become  a  breadwinner,  is  considered  to  be  equally  important  with 
the  latter.  Twelve  had  contributed  toward  self-support  while  not 
wholly  achieving  it;  twelve  died  too  early  to  have  achieved  suc- 
cess; six  have  not  been  successful;  eleven  are  unknown  and  six 
are  invalids.  Twenty-four  have  been  socially  competent  or  accept- 
able members  of  a  family,  not  wholly  self-supporting,  but  not  a 
burden  in  their  households.  Twenty-one  are  still  studying ;  fourteen 
stand  out  as  conspicuous  successes  and  perhaps  that  list  may  be 
fairly  increased."  Miss  Fish  reported  further:  "The  above  figures 
constitute  as  fair  an  estimate  as  can  be  made  allowing  for  the 
natural  ups  and  downs  of  life,  especially  at  this  time  of  depression 
when  the  piano  tuners  are  particularly  hard  hit.  All  who  are  called 
successful  have  been  able  to  stand  on  their  own  feet  independent 
of  charity." 

Miss  Woodworth,  the  present  registrar,  who  made  out  the  list 
of  the  230  graduates  since  1931,  from  the  school  records,  also  made 
an  extensive  study  of  those  who  received  diplomas.  She  reports: 
"Seven  of  this  number  have  died — five  boys  and  two  girls.  Most 
of  the  others  are  employed.  Sixty-eight  marriages  have  been  re- 
ported and  of  this  number  thirty-two  have  mates  with  normal 
vision.  Twenty-eight  girls  are  home-makers,  some  married  and 
some  single.  Many  of  the  married  girls  are  still  at  work  outside 
the  home.  Vocations  are  often  those  for  which  the  students  pre- 
pared at  Perkins — Ediphone,  selling,  poultry,  massage,  tuning, 
switchboard  operation.  Some  are  employed  in  factories  of  different 
sorts.    Only  fourteen  are  known  to  be  working  in  shops  for  the  blind. 

"About  sixty  have  gone  on  to  higher  education  in  college  or 
specialized  schools.  Of  this  number  at  least  a  dozen  are  still 
studying.  Fourteen,  including  four  home  teachers,  are  in  work  for 
the  blind  in  the  United  States,  Greece  and  Colombia,  South  America. 
Two  work  with  the  deaf-blind.  Seven  have  given  their  lives  to  the 
church — one  lay  brother,  three  nuns,  two  Protestant  clergy  and  one 
girl  who  has  joined  a  Protestant  mission  to  the  Navajo  Indians. 
Three   are   social  workers   with   the   sighted.     One   is   a   college 

25 


instructor;  four  are  lawyers  and  several  are  in  insurance.     There 
are  many  musicians  both  in  the  classical  and  popular  fields." 

Scholarships 

Three  young  people  who  completed  a  year  of  special  study  at 
Perkins  in  June  were  holders  of  National  Scholarships.  The  girl 
in  the  class  came  from  Utah  and  enters  Brigham  College  in  the  fall. 
The  two  boys  both  specialized  in  piano  tuning,  and  being  certified 
as  qualified  tuners,  are  undertaking  work  in  their  respective  states 
of  West  Virginia  and  Tennessee.  The  first  National  Scholarships 
were  offered  for  the  school  year  of  1940-1941.  Each  year  since  then 
Perkins  has  written  to  all  schools  for  the  blind  in  this  country 
offering  four  scholarships  for  outstanding  graduates  of  the  current 
year.  During  the  ten  years  thirty-five  have  benefitted  by  this 
opportunity  for  post  graduate  work.  They  have  come  from  twenty 
states,  Hawaii  and  Puerto  Rico. 

A  review  of  the  records  of  these  scholarship  holders  shows 
that  one  has  died,  and  that  the  thirty-four  remaining,  eighteen 
girls  and  sixteen  boys,  are  all  actively  employed.  Two  are  teachers 
of  sighted  classes;  three  are  Ediphonists;  two  are  engaged  in  sell- 
ing; ten  are  in  work  with  the  blind  (teachers,  library  workers  and 
home  teachers)  ;  two  are  employed  in  workshops  for  the  blind;  one 
is  in  radio  work;  one  an  entertainer  with  a  band;  three  girls  are 
listed  as  housewives,  while  seven  are  in  college  or  just  completing 
college.  One  of  this  group  was  graduated  in  June  with  "honors 
with  distinction"  from  the  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music. 
Perkins  is  proud  of  having  shared  its  good  facilities  for  graduate 
work  with  these  thirty-five  young  people,  all  of  whom  have  been 
outstanding  in  character,  personality  and  academic   achievement. 

The  Teacher  Training  Program 

Another  group  which  comes  to  us  each  year,  bringing  new 
life  and  wide  interests,  is  made  up  of  those  who  take  the  teacher 
training  program  offered  by  the  Graduate  School  of  Education  of 
Harvard  University  and  conducted  at  Perkins.  This  has  been  a 
notable  year  with  this  grcup,  partly  because  it  was  the  largest  class 
in  history,  being  made  up  of  twenty-six  members,  and  also  as  it 
marks  the  completion  of  thirty  years  of  service  in  this  field.  This 
makes  the  Harvard  Class  the  oldest  and  the  best  established  course 
for  the  training  of  teachers  of  the  blind.    To  mark  the  thirtieth 

26 


anniversary,  three  persons  who  gave  lectures  in  the  original  course 
were  invited  to  speak.  On  October  20,  Dr.  Henry  W.  Holmes, 
Dean  Emeritus,  Harvard  Graduate  School  of  Education,  and  one 
of  the  founders  of  the  course,  reviewed  educational  changes  in  the 
last  twenty  years.  On  December  8  and  9,  Mrs.  Winifred  Hathaway, 
formerly  Associate  Director  of  the  National  Society  for  the  Pre- 
vention of  Blindness,  gave  the  talks  she  has  given  for  many  years 
on  the  education  of  the  partially  seeing.  On  January  20,  Miss  Grace 
S.  Harper,  retired  Executive  Director  of  the  New  York  State 
Commission  for  the  Blind,  spoke  to  the  class  on  developments  in 
state  programs.  The  only  other  surviving  person  who  lectured  in 
the  original  course  is  Dr.  Samuel  P.  Hayes,  now  in  charge  of  the 
Harvard  Class,  who  in  1921  served  Perkins  as  consultant  in  psy- 
chology while  he  was  head  of  the  Department  of  Psychology  at 
Mount  Holyoke  College.  When  Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen,  founder  of 
the  course,  retired  as  Director  of  Perkins  in  1931,  he  carried  over 
the  work  of  the  Harvard  Class  and  continued  to  lecture  until 
shortly  before  his  death  in  1949. 

A  careful  review  of  the  records  of  the  class  shows  that  the  total 
number  of  students  enrolled  in  the  thirty  years  is  exactly  400.  At 
least  247  have  been  or  are  engaged  in  work  for  the  blind.  332 
came  from  41  states  in  this  country,  and  the  remainder  from  29 
foreign  countries.  To  show  the  world-wide  influence  of  this  course 
it  may  be  of  interest  to  point  out  the  following  distribution  of 
those  from  outside  the  United  States :  North  America — 14 ;  South 
America — 7;  West  Indies — 14;  Europe — 13;  Asia— 15;  Africa — 5. 
In  many  of  the  regions  mentioned  they  are  leaders  in  education  of 
the  blind  and  have  been  able  to  carry  Perkins'  methods  to  their 
home  lands.  Many  of  them  write  back  frequently,  each  referring 
to  his  school  as  "a  little  Perkins."  In  this  way  and  through  these 
years,  Perkins  has  made  a  growing  impress  upon  the  education  of 
the  blind  in  all  parts  of  the  world. 

Education  of  the  Deaf-Blind 

While  reviewing  special  groups  of  students,  it  might  be  well 
to  include  here  the  report  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Department,  for  this 
department  also  reaches  beyond  the  normal  boundaries  of  Perkins' 
responsibility,  as  children  come  to  it  from  all  parts  of  this  country 
and  from  abroad.  This  year  we  had  a  five-year-old  boy  from  Ireland, 
and  for  a  part  of  the  year,  a  twelve-year-old  girl  from  Greece.    The 

27 


other  pupils  in  the  Department  came  from  Massachusetts,  Alabama, 
Colorado,  Ohio  and  Washington.  Another  aspect  of  our  foreign 
contribution  during  the  past  year  is  that  there  was  in  training  in 
the  Deaf-Blind  Department  Miss  Joan  Shields  from  England,  who 
at  the  end  of  the  year  returned  to  set  up  a  new  department  for  the 
deaf -blind  in  that  country.  Coming  later  in  the  year  was  Miss 
Nellie  Georgiou  from  Greece,  who  studied  during  the  spring  term, 
continued  in  summer  school,  and  will  continue  next  year  before 
returning  to  her  own  country  to  work  with  the  deaf -blind.  During 
this  year  also  we  had  in  residence  for  training,  a  teacher  from  the 
Illinois  School  for  the  Deaf,  Miss  Emily  Jacobs,  who  spent  six  weeks 
of  concentrated  study  at  Perkins,  before  returning  to  open  a 
deaf-blind  department  in  her  school.  She  attended  the  summer 
class  for  training  deaf -blind  teachers  offered  at  the  Michigan  State 
Normal  School  at  Ypsilanti,  conducted  by  Mrs.  Maurine  Gittzus, 
head  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Department  at  Perkins. 

Provision  for  the  education  of  the  deaf-blind  at  Perkins  as 
an  organized  department  of  the  school  was  established  in  1932, 
so  that  the  class  of  the  incoming  year  will  be  the  twentieth  class. 
Prior  to  this,  ever  since  Laura  Bridgman  came  in  1837  to  be  the 
first  deaf -blind  mute  ever  to  be  taught  the  use  of  language,  Perkins 
has  had  deaf-blind  pupils,  including  for  a  period  of  residence, 
Helen  Keller.  She  was  brought  here  in  1889  by  her  noted  teacher, 
Anne  Sullivan  Macy,  who  herself  completed  her  work  at  Perkins 
in  1886.  In  the  school  year  1931-1932  there  was  one  deaf-blind 
pupil,  Winthrop  Chapman,  who  came  that  year  from  the  South 
Dakota  School  for  the  Blind.  Engaged  for  the  year  as  his  teacher 
was  Miss  Inez  B.  Hall,  who  the  following  year  became  the  head  of 
the  Deaf-Blind  Department. 

During  these  nineteen  years  there  have  been  47  pupils  enrolled 
in  the  Deaf-Blind  Department  coming  from  two  foreign  countries 
and  twenty  states.  A  recent  study  of  this  group  breaks  it  down  into 
four  categories:  a.  the  totally  blind  and  deaf — 17;  b.  the  blind 
and  hard  of  hearing — 4;  c.  the  deaf  and  partially  seeing — 19; 
d.  varying  degrees  of  sight  and  hearing — 7.  While  the  study  has 
many  interesting  aspects,  brief  comments  regarding  each  of  these 
groups  will  have  to  suffice  for  this  report. 

Of  the  seventeen  children  who  were  totally  without  sight  and 
hearing,  two  were  graduated  from  Perkins  and  one  from  college; 
one  was  transferred  to  another  school  and  three  are  still  at  Perkins. 
With  the  exception  of  six  with  whom  little  progress  was  made,  all 

28 


were  carried  up  to  the  limit  of  their  academic  ability,  with  special 
stress  on  vocational  skills.  Of  this  group  eleven  had  lost  their 
sight  and  hearing  from  spinal  meningitis,  most  of  them  at  about 
two  years  of  age.  Of  the  four  blind  and  hard  of  hearing,  three 
received  high  school  diplomas  from  Perkins,  and  one  is  still  in  the 
school.  Two  were  handicapped  at  birth,  one  when  six  years  old  and 
the  other  at  five  years  of  age.  Of  the  nineteen  deaf  and  partially 
seeing  children  none  carried  on  to  graduation  and  only  four  made 
limited  progress.  One  of  these  left  Perkins  this  June  after  being 
here  five  years  and  in  a  day  class  for  the  deaf  the  four  previous 
years.  Another  left  to  go  to  her  state  school  for  the  deaf,  but  died 
the  following  year.  A  young  man  came  to  Perkins  for  one  year 
of  rehabilitation  training  from  a  school  for  the  deaf.  The  fourth 
is  still  at  Perkins.  There  may  be  significance  in  the  fact  that  nine 
of  the  total  are  rubella  cases  and  of  them  only  one  has  made  any 
reasonable  progress.  This  child  is  still  at  Perkins  and  is  reaching 
the  level  of  possible  achievement.  Seventeen  of  this  group  were 
impaired  at  birth,  one  at  two  years  from  vitamin  deficiency  and  one 
at  the  age  of  eight  from  diabetes.  Of  the  seven  with  varying  degrees 
of  sight  and  hearing  from  various  causes,  all  have  made  fair  or 
good  progress,  two  have  qualified  for  high  school  diplomas.  Five 
of  these  children  were  handicapped  at  birth. 

The  Deaf-Blind  Appeal 

The  financial  support  of  this  special  Department  has  been 
greatly  strengthened  by  an  annual  appeal  sent  out  each  year  since 
1937.  Because  children  have  come  to  this  Department  from  all 
parts  of  the  country,  the  appeal  has  been  put  on  a  national  basis 
and  contributions  have  been  received  from  many  states  and  several 
foreign  countries.  The  first  drive  for  the  benefit  of  the  Deaf-Blind 
was  in  1937,  when  we  were  observing  the  centennial  of  the  admis- 
sion of  Laura  Bridgman  to  Perkins.  The  objective  that  year  was 
to  realize  a  considerable  capital  sum,  the  income  from  which  was 
to  be  used  for  the  deaf-blind.  For  that  purpose,  in  that  year, 
$100,895.79  was  received.  Nearly  one-half  of  this  came  through  a 
contribution  setting  up  the  Henry  Clay  Jackson  Fund  for  the 
Deaf-Blind.  The  remainder  came  from  810  contributors  from 
thirty-eight  states  and  ten  foreign  countries.  The  following  year 
the  plan  was  put  on  a  new  basis,  soliciting  annual  contributions 
from  those  interested  in  maintaining  this  work.    In  the  school  year 

29 


1938-1939,  524  contributions  totaling  $6,622.53  were  received.  The 
response  to  the  annual  appeal  has  increased  from  year  to  year 
until  in  the  last  year,  2,141  contributions  totaling  $22,686.64  were 
received.  The  Director  and  Trustees  are  very  grateful  for  this 
wide  interest  in  our  work  for  the  CHILDREN  OF  THE  SILENT 
NIGHT,  and  want,  in  this  report  to  indicate  their  thanks  and  deep 
appreciation. 

The  Child  As  An  Individual 

The  Department  of  Personnel  has  carried  on  its  work  dealing 
with  the  problems  of  individual  children  over  and  beyond  those 
covered  in  the  normal  school  program.  Mrs.  Waterhouse  and  Miss 
Eastman  conducted  the  work  of  speech  correction,  giving  routine 
speech  tests  to  sixty-three  new  pupils,  of  whom  twenty-eight  were 
scheduled  for  speech  therapy.  There  was  an  unusually  large  num- 
ber of  young  children  with  serious  speech  difficulties  this  year  and 
this  required  much  individual  attention.  Miss  Shirley  Smith, 
physiotherapist,  gave  corrective  exercises  to  over  thirty-six  pupils, 
and  put  in  a  total  of  1082  corrective  exercise  periods.  Considerable 
stress  was  laid  this  year  on  good  posture,  and  thirty-six  boys  and 
girls  in  the  Lower  School  were  awarded  "Posture  Pete"  pins.  A 
contest  was  held  for  the  best  slogan,  and  the  first  prize  was  won  by 
Sandra  Noddin,  whose  slogan  was  "Try  your  best  in  work  and  play 
to  have  good  posture  every  day." 

The  usual  program  of  psychological  testing  was  conducted 
under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Hayes  and  Mrs.  Davis,  assisted  by  Mr. 
Davis  who  is  also  doing  graduate  work  at  Harvard  University. 
The  large  battery  of  tests  which  have  been  developed  for  the  blind 
by  Dr.  Hayes  at  Perkins,  were  used  in  measuring  intelligence  and 
achievement.  As  this  department  is  the  center  for  psychological 
work  among  the  blind  Dr.  Hayes  has  been  called  upon  for  much 
counsel  and  help  throughout  the  country.  He  has  been  active  in 
the  National  Psychological  Research  Council  for  the  Blind,  of 
which  he  was  President  last  year.  With  Mrs.  Mary  K.  Bauman, 
he  authored  a  "Manual  for  the  Psychological  Examination  of  the 
Adult  Blind,"  which  was  published  by  the  Psychological  Corporation. 
In  the  psychiatric  area  a  helpful  program  was  directed  by 
Miss  Marshall  supplemented  by  visits  of  Dr.  Barry,  school  psy- 
chiatrist. Early  in  the  year  it  was  learned  that  a  number  of  the  new 
young  children  seemed  to  be  emotionally  disturbed  and  in  order

to  better  understand  the  problems  of  these  children  a  study  of 
seventeen  "retrolentals"  with  a  control  group  of  children  whose 
blindness  was  from  other  causes  was  undertaken  under  a  special 
grant  from  the  Foundation  for  Vision.  Dr.  HoUenbeck  who  has 
been  interested  in  retrolental  children  at  the  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary 
was  engaged  to  carry  on  this  study,  assisted,  on  a  part-time  basis 
by  another  psychiatrist  and  a  part-time  psychiatric  social  worker 
who  visited  the  homes  of  all  of  the  children.  Results  of  this  study 
are  being  assembled  for  later  publication. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  event  of  this  Department  was  the 
conducting  of  a  Summer  Institute  for  parents  of  pre-school  blind 
children  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Marshall,  assisted  by  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Davis.  Following  the  pattern  set  by  the  first  school  of  this 
type  conducted  at  Perkins  in  1945,  seventeen  mothers  and  sixteen 
children  lived  in  the  Lower  School  from  June  24  to  June  30.  An 
interesting  aspect  of  this  program  was  the  attendance  of  some  of 
the  fathers  whose  presence  gave  a  greater  sense  of  security  to  both 
mothers  and  children.  A  play  school  was  conducted  for  the  children 
under  the  direction  of  Miss  Pauline  Moor,  of  the  Massachusetts  Eye 
and  Ear  Infirmary  and  lectures  were  given  by  outstanding  authori- 
ties in  the  fields  of  pediatrics,  opthamology,  child  psychology  and 
psychiatry,  mental  hygiene  and  nursery  school  work. 

As  indicated  at  the  beginning  of  this  report  the  area  of  real 
difficulty  is  in  the  business  department.     Mr.  Hemphill  reports: 

The  Bursar  Reports 
"I  have  the  unpleasant  task  of  reporting  an  overspent  budget  once 
again.  The  Trustees  approved  a  budget  of  $553,730,  an  increase  of 
8.2%  over  the  budget  of  the  previous  year.  This  was  to  cover  the 
routine  operation  of  the  school  in  Watertown,  and  the  workshop 
in  South  Boston  and  did  not  include  plans  for  special  maintenance, 
repair  or  replacement  of  property,  which  were  considered  separately. 
The  year  ended  August  31  with  a  total  expenditure  of  $575,520.83, 
almost  4%  overspent." 

Considering  the  exigencies  of  the  times  this  record  indicates 
good  business  administration.  The  present  arrangement  for  business 
management  does  not  go  back  twenty  years,  but  was  inaugurated  in 
March,  1938,  when  Mr.  Hemphill  was  appointed  to  the  newly  created 
office  of  Bursar.  The  purpose  of  creating  this  office  by  the  Trustees, 
was  to  relieve  the  Director  of  many  details  of  business  administra- 
tion  and    thus  give   him   more   time   for   educational   and   policy 

31 


matters.  In  the  original  plan,  Mr.  Hemphill  was  to  supervise  and 
direct  the  business  affairs  of  the  Institution,  plus  some  guidance 
in  the  development  of  the  workshop  program.  Since  that  time 
many  other  duties  have  been  assigned  to  his  office,  supplemented  by 
the  tremendous  amount  of  detailed  paper  work  that  was  required 
during  the  war  through  rationing  and  other  governmental  pro- 
cedures. 

The  work  was  further  increased  when  Mr.  Coon  became  librarian 
and  the  responsibilities  of  the  superintendent  of  buildings  and 
grounds  were  given  to  the  Bursar.  The  following  extracts  from 
his  report  will  give  some  idea  of  the  tremendous  amount  of  work 
that  is  involved  in  this  section  alone,  and  which  has  been  made  even 
more  difficult  by  the  problem  of  securing  adequate  help  not  only 
in  the  maintenance  department  but  chiefly  in  the  household  depart- 
ment, where  securing  cooks,  maids  and  so  forth,  is  an  even  more 
difficult  task. 

"This  was  our  second  year  of  special  building  maintenance 
under  the  Macomber  Report  and  we  have  a  lot  to  show  for  it.  The 
masonry  of  the  Lower  School  and  of  the  new  Director's  residence 
were  completely  repaired.  Shortages  were  threatening  in  copper,  so 
approval  was  granted  in  January  for  the  replacement  of  all  remain- 
ing old  and  worn  gutters.  Replacing  of  the  worn  out  hot  water 
piping  was  continued,  Fisher,  May  and  Bennett  Cottages  being 
done  this  summer  to  complete  this  kind  of  work  in  the  Upper  School. 
Our  thirty-eight  year  old  clock  and  bell  system  had  rendered  long, 
faithful  service  but  was  becoming  defective  with  age  and  so  was 
completely  replaced  this  summer.  The  maintenance  work  discussed 
above  was  all  performed  by  contractors. 

"Three  important  projects  took  precedence  over  the  other  work 
scheduled  for  our  Maintenance  Departments  once  school  had  closed 
in  June.  The  former  Principal's  residence  was  completely  re- 
decorated and  repaired  for  occupancy  by  our  new  Director,  Mr. 
Waterhouse.  The  second  project  was  the  conversion  of  Oliver 
Cottage  in  the  Girls'  Close  for  kindergarten  use.  Project  three  was 
the  conversion  of  the  former  Director's  residence  for  the  Deaf- 
Blind  Department.  Almost  complete  redecorating  was  necessary 
in  preparing  classrooms,  living  quarters,  and  bedrooms  for  students 
and  staff.  A  kitchenette  was  installed  on  the  third  floor  to  make 
an  apartment  for  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gittzus.  The  law  requires  two  exits 
so  a  fire  escape  was  installed  between  a  third  floor  window  and  the 
porch  roof.    The  main  kitchen  and  pantries  were  altered  and  a  new

large  range  and  sink  were  installed  to  accommodate  quantity  cooking 
and  dish  washing.  Some  delays  were  unavoidable  and  the  Deaf- 
Blind  Cottage  was  not  quite  ready  for  the  opening  of  school,  but 
from  here  on  the  improvements  will  be  determined  by  needs  which 
develop  while  the  cottage  is  being  used. 

Social  Security 

"In  December,  we  had  the  privilege  with  other  non-profit  insti- 
tutions of  applying  for  Old-Age  and  Survivors  Insurance  for  our 
employees  under  the  Federal  Social  Security  Program.  Our  em- 
ployees voted  almost  unanimously  for  it  and  so  it  was  installed  on 
January  1.  This  immediately  imposed  a  iy2%  tax  on  our  payroll 
which  by  August  31  totalled  $3,769.51.  It  had  not  been  budgeted 
but  it  was  offset  by  an  almost  corresponding  reduction  in  Perkins 
Retirement  Plan  premiums.  By  arrangement  with  Equitable,  mem- 
bers of  our  plan  were  allowed  to  withdraw  or  to  adjust  their  classi- 
fications to  premium  levels  they  could  afford  on  top  of  their  OASI 
contributions.  Through  such  changes  our  Perkins  Institution  plan 
premiums  were  reduced  $3,033,  and  we  received  refunds  amounting 

to  $2,782.18." 

One  of  the  advantages  of  entering  into  the  Social  Security 
scheme  is  that  it  strengthens  the  retirement  provisions  for  our  staff 
members.  As  indicated  in  the  above  paragraph,  Perkins  does  have 
a  retirement  plan  with  the  Equitable  Life  Assurance  Society.  This 
was  begun  in  1934,  and  covered  first  the  teaching  staff,  and  later 
was  enlarged  to  include  the  maintenance  staff.  The  program  pro- 
vides reasonably  adequate  retirement  allowances  for  members  of 
the  Perkins  staff  after  the  year  of  its  inauguration.  When  the  plan 
was  introduced,  however,  it  was  decided  not  to  make  insurance  pro- 
vision for  years  of  prior  service.  As  each  person  has  retired  since 
that  time  supplementation  for  prior  service  has  been  made  from 
Perkins'  funds.  This,  however,  will  not  be  necessary  any  longer 
because  of  OASI  benefits,  and  through  the  two  plans  Perkins  staff 
members  are  now  assured  of  quite  adequate  retirement  allowances. 

The  Perkins  Brailler 

The  Howe  Memorial  Press  in  its  report  for  the  year,  has  the 
good  news  that  the  long-awaited  Perkins  Brailler,  is  now  on  the 
assembly  line  and  the  writers  are  being  distributed  to  purchasers 

33 


throughout  the  country.  The  final  production  of  these  writers  has 
been  unduly  delayed  due  to  difficulty  in  tooling  and  in  securing 
materials.  Those  who  have  received  them,  however,  are  writing 
back  to  state  that  they  are  "worth  waiting  for."  While  the  Howe 
Memorial  Press  has  produced  Braille  writers  for  many  years  and 
was,  at  the  beginning  of  this  administration,  the  chief  source  of 
supply  throughout  the  country,  it  was  felt  in  the  early  30's  that 
the  writers  being  produced  were  not  satisfactory,  in  that  they  did 
not  have  the  precise  tooling  that  a  modern  device  of  this  type 
requires.  Production  of  the  old  machines  was  stopped,  and  studies 
begun  to  develop  a  writer  in  which  Perkins  could  take  pride. 

In  the  middle  30's  Mr.  Coon  reported  that  one  of  his  men, 
David  Abraham,  had  considerable  skill  in  machine  work  and  that 
he  would  be  interested  in  the  developing  of  a  Braille  writer.  Mr. 
Abraham  was  released  from  his  duties  for  a  summer,  to  start  the 
paper  work  that  led  eventually  to  the  production  of  a  pilot  model. 
This  writer  combined  new  features ;  such  as,  the  elimination  of  the 
overhanging  carriage  which  caused  so  much  inconvenience  in  the 
old  writers,  and  a  unique  key  action  which  made  it  possible  to 
produce  all  dots  of  absolutely  uniform  height,  regardless  of 
uneven  pressure. 

The  problem  of  production  in  quantity  was  helped  when  the 
American  Foundation  for  the  Blind  agreed  to  discontinue  its  model 
made  by  a  commercial  typewriting  company,  and  to  combine  with 
Perkins  in  the  costs  of  tooling.  Both  the  American  Foundation  and 
Perkins  were  fortunate  in  securing  financial  assistance  from  two 
foundations,  one  in  New  York  and  one  in  Boston,  totaling  $40,000. 
This  covered  the  cost  of  tooling,  making  possible  the  production  of 
the  first  2,000  machines  at  the  low  price  of  $70.00  each.  At  this 
time,  appreciation  should  be  recorded  of  the  ingenuity  and  skill  of 
Mr.  Abraham  which  made  possible  the  development  of  this  machine, 
and  also  to  Mr.  Waterhouse,  as  manager  of  the  Howe  Memorial 
Press,  for  his  guidance  of  the  work  during  the  period  of  production. 

The  Workshop 

While  the  Workshop  reports  a  relatively  good  year  and  is  under 
the  able  management  of  Mr.  Remick  producing  mattresses  and  chair 
work  of  a  high  quality,  there  are  certain  aspects  which  must  soon 
be  faced  in  a  realistic  manner.  Founded  in  1840  to  demonstrate 
the  employability  of  well-trained  blind  persons,  it  has  outlived  that 

34 


purpose.  As  a  medium  of  absorbing  some  of  the  boys  who  leave 
Perkins  unable  to  compete  in  outside  industry,  it  has  not  in  recent 
years  been  necessary  as  the  last  person  to  make  this  transition  did 
so  in  1936.  For  this  type  of  person,  the  sheltered  shops  of  the 
state  offer  more  security,  although  at  the  expense  of  less  oppor- 
tunity. The  high  wages  now  paid  in  these  shops  have  made  it  hard 
for  the  Workshop  to  secure  enough  help  to  enable  us  to  seek  more 
business.  From  the  financial  side  the  shop  is  becoming  an  increas- 
ingly heavy  liability.  While  the  cash  deficit  listed  in  the  Treasurer's 
Report  is  $5,278.13  a  more  realistic  accounting  including  charges 
for  supervision,  maintenance  of  equipment,  and  interest  on  the 
plant  investment  brings  the  actual  annual  expense  to  the  Institu- 
tion to  over  $13,000.  In  view  of  educational  expenses  now  exceeding 
income,  this  charge  for  a  project  that  has  outlived  its  historic  pur- 
pose must  soon  be  faced  in  a  realistic  manner. 

The  Library 

The  library  reports  one  of  its  busiest  years,  particularly  in  the 
books  both  recorded  and  embossed,  which  are  sent  outside  of  the 
school.  Not  content  with  making  a  comparison  of  circulation  of 
twenty  years  ago,  Mr.  Coon  has  reported  finding  a  statement  by  Dr. 
Allen,  made  before  a  Massachusettts  Legislative  Committee  in  1910, 
that  the  circulation  "without  the  Institution  has  now  grown  to 
take  the  full  time  of  one  librarian,"  and  that  "6094  books  were  sent 
out  last  year."  Forty  years  later,  Mr.  Coon  reports  that  "60,000 
books  were  circulated  for  the  year,  and  that  the  services  of  approxi- 
mately four  persons  are  engaged  in  this  phase  of  our  work."  Later 
in  his  report  Mr.  Coon  states  that  the  actual  number  of  books  circu- 
lated during  the  current  year  was  53,846,  and  checking  back  to 
twenty  years  ago,  we  find  that  the  circulation  was  21,254  books. 
This,  however,  was  before  Talking  Books  were  in  use  and  the  1921 
figure  should  be  compared  to  15,249,  the  number  of  embossed  books 
sent  out. 

The  Talking  Books,  since  their  introduction,  have  become  the 
more  popular  medium  of  reading  and  last  year  33,745  volumes  were 
distributed  to  readers  in  our  New  England  area.  On  this  Mr.  Coon 
comments:  "We  are  glad  to  note  in  all  this  that  our  Braille  book 
circulation  is  maintaining  a  fairly  even  level,  in  spite  of  the  at- 
traction and  wide  use  of  Braille  magazines,  Talking  Books  and  of 

85 


1 


radios.  New  readers  of  Talking  Books  especially  are  being  regis- 
tered by  the  library  at  an  ever  increasing  rate,  and  new  books  flow 
in  almost  daily,  so  that  we  can  generally  satisfy  our  readers  with 
desirable  titles.  Some  day  in  the  future  increasing  demands  will 
be  made  upon  our  stair  for  service,  but  the  pressure  of  the  work 
may  be  reduced  by  technological  developments,  just  as  in  the  past 
two  decades  the  Talking  Book  circulation  has  grown  from  nothing 
to  more  than  forty  thousand  volumes  per  year. 

"During  the  year  considerable  progress  has  been  made  in  the 
re-cataloguing  of  the  teachers'  library.  There  has  been  an  encour- 
aging circulation  of  recreational  reading,  by  staff  members  from 
the  'Loan  Library'  of  fiction.  Mrs.  Castle  has  been  especially  help- 
ful in  card  indexing  by  titles,  books  embossed  and  recorded,  for  the 
pupils  to  use  in  connection  with  their  high  school  work.  While  Miss 
Miller,  Lower  School  Librarian,  has  had  a  busy  year  due  to  the 
transition  which  is  taking  place  in  the  replacement  of  books  in 
Grade  One  and  a  Half  by  those  of  Grade  Two,  an  advantageous  by- 
product of  this  change  is  that  Perkins  is  sending  many  of  the  dis- 
carded books  in  Grade  One  and  a  Half  to  schools  for  the  blind  in 
foreign  countries  who  are  only  too  happy  to  receive  this  material. 
One  of  the  newer  aspects  of  work  in  the  library,  started  twelve  years 
ago,  is  the  preparation  of  exhibits  in  the  tactual  museum.  During 
the  past  year  the  librarian,  with  the  help  of  Miss  McGaw,  prepared 
sixteen  exhibits,  all  on  the  subject  of  food.  This  was  possible 
through  help  received  from  corporations  in  the  food  business,  and 
was  exceedingly  helpful  in  presenting  food  values  and  the  impor- 
tance of  nutrition  to  the  pupils.  The  Bulletin  issued  at  the  end 
of  May  was  No.  100  in  this  twelve-year  series." 

The  Educational  Program 

Educationally  the  school  has  never  been  more  sound  nor  better 
balanced  in  its  offerings,  than  at  the  present  time.  The  reorganiza- 
tion of  the  Industrial  Arts  Department  described  last  year,  made 
possible  by  the  modernized  shop,  and  the  development  of  project 
groups,  has  done  a  great  deal  to  provide  practical  and  worthwhile 
training  for  those  who  reach  a  level  of  academic  achievement.  The 
new  plan  of  supervision  described  previously  assures  individual  at- 
tention and  gives  adequate  guidance  to  the  teachers,  especially  in 
these  days  when  so  many  new  members  of  the  teaching  staff  have 

36 


been  employed.  The  attainment  of  this  high  level  is,  however,  the 
result  of  twenty  years  of  development.  While  Perkins  oif  ered,  at  that 
time,  what  seemed  an  adequate  program  of  education  for  its  pupils, 
certain  methods  of  1931  are  not  in  line  with  modern  pedagogy.  For 
example,  Dr.  Allen  did  not  believe  in  the  free  use  of  books  by  pupils, 
but  felt  that  only  the  teacher  should  have  a  book  and  impart  in- 
formation from  it  to  the  pupils.  It  was  not  long  before  this  practice 
was  set  aside  and  many  more  books  were  acquired  which  the  pupils 
were  taught  to  use.  This  also  led  to  the  wide  extension  of  the  li- 
brary facilities,  including  the  beautiful  new  study  halls  which  were 
opened  in  1949. 

One  of  the  early  steps  taken  to  broaden  the  scope  of  the  edu- 
cational program  was  the  creation  in  the  Upper  School  of  five 
departments:  literary,  college  preparatory,  musical,  commercial  and 
industrial.  These  departments  allowed  the  pupils  to  concentrate 
in  the  area  where  their  greatest  potentialities  could  be  developed. 
From  this  diversified  plan  the  pendulum  swung  to  rather  in- 
tensive academic  training  and  again  has  swung  back  to  a  more 
practical  form  which  prevails  at  the  present  time.  Another  factor 
was  the  proposal  made  just  before  World  War  11,  to  follow  the 
recommended  procedure  of  the  modern  schools  of  having  six  grades 
in  the  elementary  school,  four  in  the  junior  high  school  and  four 
in  the  senior  high  school.  The  War  prevented  the  expansion  of 
that  plan,  but  now  one  year  has  been  added  to  the  Upper  School 
curriculum  and  post  graduate  opportunities  are  more  organized  and 
have  attracted  students  from  all  parts  of  the  country  for  the 
specialized  training  which  is  offered  at  that  level. 

Under  the  organization  of  1931,  the  Lower  School  operated  as 
four  separate  units  based  on  the  cottages  in  which  the  pupils  lived. 
The  Boys'  and  Girls'  Upper  Schools  were  entirely  separate,  the 
girls  having  nine  grades  in  the  elementary  program  and  the  boys 
eight.  At  that  time  also  a  teacher  on  one  side  was  not  allowed  to 
teach  on  the  other  side  of  the  Upper  School  building  and  there  was 
a  rigid  wall  of  segregation  between  the  girls  and  the  boys.  Gradu- 
ally it  became  evident  that  division  of  teachers  on  horizontal  lines 
rather  than  on  vertical  would  provide  better  organization  as  experts 
in  the  various  fields  could  spread  their  interest  over  the  entire 
upper  school  body.  Merging  of  the  boys'  and  girls'  classes  eventually 
came  into  effect  so  that  now  the  Upper  School  operates  entirely 
co-educationally.     It  may  also  be  said  without  reflection  on  the 

37 


earnestness  of  teachers  of  a  previous  day,  that  the  present  in- 
structors are  better  equipped  and  are  required  to  measure  up  to 
higher  standards  of  education  in  the  areas  in  which  they  teach. 
All  these  have  been  steps  towards  the  position  that  has  been  attained 
and  exists  at  Perkins  at  the  present  time.

Enrollment 

Our  enrollment  as  of  November  1,  1951  was  256  compared  with 
247  a  year  ago.  During  the  year  45  pupils  were  discharged.  The 
reasons  for  discharge  were :  graduated  3 ;  completed  scholarships  3 ; 
completed  other  training  10;  ill  health  2;  voluntary  withdrawal  6; 
to  work  2 ;  to  other  schools  8 ;  not  yet  ready  for  school  4 ;  ceased  to 
progress  7.  The  256  pupils  enrolled  November  1,  1951  are  divided 
as  follows:  Massachusetts  165;  Maine  23;  New  Hampshire  13; 
Rhode  Island  20 ;  Vermont  14  and  from  other  states  19.  This  year 
there  are  two  students  from  foreign  countries — Argentina  and 
Bolivia,  and  from  the  following  states  outside  of  New  England: 
Alabama,  Colorado,  Illinois,  Louisiana,  Michigan,  Minnesota,  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  North  Carolina,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Utah,  Vir- 
ginia and  V/est  Virginia. 

In  addition  to  the  staff  changes  to  which  reference  has  already 
been  made,  the  following  persons  resigned  at  the  close  of  the  school 
year :  Miss  Thelma  Johnson,  Miss  Eunice  Werner,  Miss  Florentina  C. 
Gonzalez  and  Miss  Felicitas  Benziger,  all  Lower  School  Teachers; 
Miss  Betty  Jane  Wenzel  of  the  Music  Department;  Mrs.  Charlene  H. 
Cumberland,  teacher  of  Home  Economics;  Miss  Margaret  G.  Bige- 
low,  Physical  Education  teacher;  and  Miss  Mary  K.  Mailers,  English 
teacher,  all  in  the  Upper  School, 

Lower  School  Teachers  appointed  in  September,  1951  were: 
Mrs.  Evelyn  W.  Moore,  Mrs.  Clotilda  A.  McGowen,  Miss  Anna 
Ascarelli,  Miss  Lorraine  M.  McNamara,  and  Miss  Jean  Carroll.

The  State  Program 

In  the  last  report,  reference  was  made  to  "a  study  of  matters 
related  to  the  blind"  undertaken  by  a  Recess  Commission  of  the 
Massachusetts  Legislature.  This  Commission  submitted  its  report 
early  in  1951,  and  it  was  discussed  at  a  public  hearing  of  the  com- 
mittee on  Public  Welfare.  The  Report  made  a  number  of  recom- 
mendations for  the  re-organization  of  the  state  program,  its  most 
radical  proposal  being  that  the  Legislature  create  the  Massachusetts 
Authority  for  the  Blind  which  would  take  under  its  management 
the  six  workshops  now  maintained  by  the  Division  and  extend  the 
program  to  include  home  industries  and  sales  promotion.  It  further 
focused  attention  upon  the  ineffectiveness  of  the  present  sheltered 
shops  and  pointed  out  that  the  vending  stand  program  so  effectively 
carried  out  in  other  states  has  not  been  developed  here.  The  Report 
also  stressed  the  fact  that  Massachusetts  is  not  availing  itself  of 
funds  that  can  be  secured  from  the  Federal  Government  for  a 
rehabilitation  program. 

After  the  hearing  the  committee  drew  up  two  bills  which  were 
finally  adopted  by  the  Legislature  and  made  law.  The  chief  accom- 
plishment of  this  legislation  is  authorization  for  the  re-organization 
of  the  Division  of  the  Blind  by  creating  five  bureaus :  1.  Medical 
care;  2.  Individual  services;  3.  Rehabilitation;  4.  Industry  and 
Shops,  and  5.  Research.  Re-organized  on  this  basis,  it  is  hoped 
that  with  adequate  leadership  in  these  departments  a  program  will 
be  developed  which  will  bring  back  the  prestige  which  Massachusetts 
enjoyed  in  the  field  of  the  blind  many  years  ago,  it  having  been 
the  first  state  to  create,  in  1907,  a  Commission  for  the  Blind.  The 
new  legislation  also  authorized  the  transfer  of  the  supervision  and 
support  of  sight-saving  classes  from  the  Division  of  the  Blind  to 
the  Division  of  Special  Education  in  the  Department  of  Education. 

Definite  action  regarding  the  establishment  of  classes  for  blind 
children  in  the  public  schools  as  suggested  by  the  committee,  was 

39 


not  approved.  The  legislation  did,  however,  authorize  the  Depart- 
ment of  Education  to  make  a  survey  of  blind  children,  and  if  it  could 
establish  proof  of  need  for  further  educational  facilities  the  Depart- 
ment in  co-operation  with  local  school  boards,  may  recommend  the 
possible  organization  of  such  classes.  Another  legislative  act  was 
the  amendment  of  Chapter  64,  which  authorizes  the  payment  to 
Perkins  Institution  only  for  the  education  of  blind  children  so  that 
Massachusetts  children  may  hereafter  be  sent  to  other  schools  at 
state  expense.  This  will  make  it  possible  for  Massachusetts  chil- 
dren to  benefit  by  attendance  at  specialized  schools  which  are  not 
found  within  the  Commonwealth.  The  legislative  permissions 
which  concern  the  education  of  blind  children  were  not  opposed  by 
Perkins.  We  recognize  the  growing  demand  on  the  part  of  some 
parents  for  a  way  to  give  their  children  the  special  education  they 
need  and  yet  keep  them  at  home,  and  we  stand  ready  to  help  toward 
its  attainment.  We  will,  however,  stand  firm  against  day  classes 
for  the  blind  until  assured  that  they  are  adequately  equipped  and 
employ  qualified  teachers.  We  are  glad  for  the  provision  enabling 
some  children  to  attend  specialized  schools. 

National  Legislation 

Turning  to  the  national  scene  this  has  been  a  quiet  year  in 
legislative  matters.  A  number  of  bills  relating  to  the  blind  were 
presented  in  Congress,  but  few  were  of  great  importance,  unless 
HR-4079  is  enacted.  This  bill  calls  for  the  creation  of  a  committee 
made  up  of  representatives  of  the  Government,  workers  for  the 
blind  and  other  individuals  interested  in  research  and  education, 
to  make  a  comprehensive  study  of  the  entire  field  of  existing  federal, 
state  and  local  activities,  relating  to  the  granting  of  services  to  the 
blind,  including  the  history  and  development  of  such  activities. 
Certainly  a  committee  of  well  chosen  persons  with  this  power 
might  make  a  valuable  study  and  reveal  some  interesting  facts. 

Probably  in  no  period  of  history  has  any  Government  ever 
given  more  consideration  to  the  welfare  of  the  blind  and  made  more 
extensive  provisions  for  their  education,  care  and  rehabilitation, 
than  has  the  United  States  since  1932.  Undoubtedly  the  most 
important  provision  for  blind  welfare  during  the  past  score  of  years 
was  brought  about  by  the  adoption  of  the  Social  Security  Act  of 
1935.  Prior  to  that  date,  only  twenty-six  states  had  commissions 
for  the  blind  and  not  all  of  these  were  administering  financial  aid.

HANDCRAFTS  FOR  FUTURE 
HOME  ACTIVITIES 


I 


Title  X  of  the  Social  Security  Act  authorized  federal  grants  to 
match  state  aid  to  needy  persons  up  to  $40  a  month,  later  increased 
to  $25  from  Federal  funds  towards  a  $45  monthly  grant.  In  1950 
the  states  were  authorized  to  disregard  in  computing  aid  the  first 
$50  earned  by  blind  persons.  When  aid  to  the  blind  under  Social 
Security  began  in  1936  only  five  states  participated  and  the  amount 
of  money  appropriated  was  relatively  small;  now  all  states  except 
Nevada,  Missouri,  and  Alaska  participate  in  the  plan,  Missouri 
having  its  own  plan  without  Federal  Aid.  The  latest  report  indi- 
cates the  growth  of  this  aid,  for  in  the  month  of  May,  1951,  96,990 
persons  received  a  total  of  $4,523,461,  averaging  $46.64  a  month. 

Other  legislation  for  the  blind  on  the  federal  level  includes 
the  Randolph-Sheppard  Act  of  1936,  authorizing  the  opening  of 
vending  stands  in  public  buildings,  which  has  given  profitable 
employment  to  many  blind  persons,  and  the  Wagner-O'Day  Act 
of  1938,  requiring  the  Federal  Government  to  buy  at  a  fair  market 
price  articles  made  in  workshops  for  the  blind  bringing  millions  of 
dollars  of  work  to  these  shops.  Other  laws  during  the  past  twenty 
years  include  the  right  to  mail  embossed  reading  matter  at  no  charge; 
provision  for  two,  a  blind  person  and  a  guide,  to  travel  on  one  fare 
on  railroads ;  permission  to  take  guide  dogs  on  trains  and  in  public 
conveyances,  and  in  1940  an  amendment  was  attached  to  the  federal 
income  tax  which  permits  blind  persons  to  deduct  an  amount  up 
to  $500  for  special  expenses  incurred  as  a  result  of  blindness. 

In  the  educational  area,  two  pieces  of  legislation  have  advanced 
the  opportunities  for  the  blind  greatly.  The  Barden-LaFoUette 
Bill,  amended  in  1943,  now  makes  provision  for  "Any  service 
necessary  to  render  a  disabled  individual  fit  to  engage  in  a  remunera- 
tive occupation."  This  makes  medical  and  physical  care,  prosthetic 
devices,  vocational  guidance,  training  and  placement  in  industry 
all  available  to  the  blind,  as  well  as  to  the  other  handicapped  groups. 
All  of  these  facilities  are  administered  on  the  state  level,  with 
federal  funds  matching  the  state  expenditures.  The  second  special 
legislation  is  in  the  provision  for  reading  matter  for  the  blind. 
The  only  federal  money  available  for  the  blind  prior  to  1931  was 
$10,000  annually  allocated  to  the  American  Printing  House  in 
Louisville  to  provide  textbooks  for  schools  for  the  blind.  This 
amount  was  increased  through  the  years,  until  it  now  totals 
$125,000  a  year,  and  the  program  has  been  extended  to  include  the 
manufacture  of  appliances.  Talking  Books,  text  books  and  records, 
but  all  restricted  to  use  in  schools. 

41 


In  1931  through  the  Pratt-Smoot  Bill,  reading  matter  for  the 
adult  blind  was  made  available  through  federal  funds.  Originally 
this  legislation  was  only  for  books  of  embossed  type,  but  more 
recently  it  has  been  amended  to  include  the  recording  of  books  and 
the  purchasing  and  distribution  of  Talking  Book  machines.  The 
funds  appropriated  for  these  purposes  are  administered  by  the 
Library  of  Congress  and  now  total  $1,125,000  annually  with  books 
for  the  adult  blind  being  distributed  through  twenty-six  regional 
libraries  of  which  Perkins  is  one  which  covers,  largely,  the  New 
England  area. 

The  International  Scene 

On  the  international  front  there  has  been  little  activity  in  which 
Perkins  has  had  a  part,  beyond  maintaining  its  interest  and  co- 
operation with  existent  agencies.  During  the  year  the  Director 
made  and  completed  a  survey  of  social  conditions  among  blind 
children  throughout  the  world  for  the  committee  on  Handicapped 
Children  of  the  Social  Commission  of  the  United  Nations.  At  the 
United  Nations,  an  office  for  services  for  the  blind  has  been  set  up 
by  the  Social  Commission  and  Mr.  Ernst  Jorgenson  of  Denmark 
has  come  to  this  country  to  direct  its  affairs.  Mr.  Jorgenson  is 
preparing  a  program  for  the  blind  to  present  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Social  Commission  in  October. 

In  the  previous  report  mention  was  made  of  the  International 
Conference  for  the  Adult  Blind  which  was  held  at  Merton  College, 
Oxford  in  1949.  At  that  time  a  continuing  committee  was  appointed 
which  has  developed  and  created  the  World  Council  for  the  Welfare 
of  the  Blind,  now  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  France,  with 
offices  in  Paris.  The  first  president  was  Mr.  Eagar,  the  retired 
director  of  the  National  Institute  for  the  Blind  in  England, 
but  at  the  meeting  held  in  July  1951,  Col.  E.  A.  Baker  of  the 
National  Institute  for  the  Blind  in  Canada  was  elected  president. 
At  the  Oxford  meeting  a  committee  was  also  appointed  to  convene 
a  conference  of  educators  of  the  blind,  with  the  Director  of  Perkins 
as  the  chairman.  This  Committee  has  now  become  the  Education 
Committee  of  the  World  Council.  During  the  past  year,  approxi- 
mately $10,000  has  been  raised  for  the  education  conference  and 
plans  are  now  being  made  for  it  to  be  held  at  the  School  for  the 
Blind  in  Bussum,  outside  Amsterdam,  Holland,  July  25  to  August  2, 
1952. 

42 


This  report  as  indicated  at  the  start,  records  not  only  the 
events  of  this  year  but  reaches  back  to  recall  some  of  the  activities 
which  have  occurred  during  the  present  administration  in  the  past 
twenty  years.  While  there  are  probably  many  things  left  undone, 
the  record  does  show  accomplishment  and  it  is  the  general  opinion 
that  during  the  past  score  of  years  Perkins  has  made  progress 
both  in  its  inner  development  and  in  its  far-reaching  influence 
throughout  the  world.  The  retiring  Director  is  very  grateful  for 
the  privilege  of  participating  in  these  activities.  He  appreciates 
and  wants  to  acknowledge  the  continued  help  of  the  Trustees,  the 
loyalty  and  support  of  the  staff  as  well  as  the  challenge  and  incentive 
of  the  many  boys  and  girls  who  have  passed  through  this  school  in 
these  twenty  years.  There  has  also  been  the  inspiration  of  those 
who  have  come  from  all  parts  of  the  world  for  training  in  this  field. 
He  knows  that  the  same  loyalty  and  support  will  be  given  to  his 
successor  who,  he  is  confident,  will  carry  on  the  great  tradition 
and  will  lead  the  Institution  into  new  fields  of  service.

PHYSICIAN'S  REPORT 

A  physical  examination  was  done  on  every  student,  also  a 
urinalysis,  and  blood  test.  All  new  students  who  had  not  previously 
been  immunized  were  given  immunization  against  pertussis,  tetanus, 
and  diphtheria.  All  the  students  in  the  lower  school  who  needed 
booster  shots  against  these  three  diseases  were  given  them.  The 
entire  staff  had  chest  x-rays  taken  by  the  portable  unit  of  the 
Middlesex  Tuberculosis  Association  and  the  student  body  was  given 
patch  tests;  those  with  positive  reactions  being  x-rayed. 

There  were  359  students  ill  during  the  school  year,  twenty-six 
of  which  were  chicken  pox  and  7  measles.  Unfortunately  it  was 
necessary  for  the  Lower  School  cottages  to  be  in  quarantine  for 
almost  the  entire  remainder  of  the  school  year  after  Spring  vacation.

WORKSHOP  FOR  ADULTS 


4 


The  annual  report  with  figures  for  1950-1951  demonstrates  that 
the  industrial  department  has  made  definite  advances  in  production 
and  sales.  The  required  subsidy  for  operation  is  essentially  the 
same  as  last  year  reflecting  the  current,  steadily  mounting  costs  of 
any  project  faced  with  present  economic  conditions.  Confronted 
with  the  additional  problems  of  the  year  ahead  we  must  of  necessity 
be  prepared,  constructively  and  realistically,  to  formulate  plans 
which  will  alleviate  the  burden  on  the  Institution. 

Our  consistent  eighty  per  cent  self-sustaining  program  indi- 
cates a  remarkable  position  in  the  field  and  undoubtedly  ranks 
favorably  with  the  best  examples  of  similar  enterprises  in  the 
workshop  group. 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  work  done  and  wages  paid 
in  the  Workshop  Department  during  the  fiscal  year  1950-1951 :

TREASURER'S  REPORT 

THE  REPORT  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31, 
1951,  is  submitted  herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation 
were  audited  by  Peat,  Marwick,  Mitchell  &  Company  and  their  re- 
port for  the  year  is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  of  $237,065  exceeded  the  pre- 
vious year  by  approximately  $60,000,  principally  because  of  the 
increase  in  the  annual  tuition  charge.  Investment  income  assigned 
to  the  funds  was  at  the  rate  of  bVz  %  of  book  value  as  against  a  rate 
of  5%  in  the  prior  year.  The  actual  income  from  securities  was 
approximately  6^/2%  of  the  book  value  compared  with  6%  in  the 
1950  fiscal  year.  Unassigned  income  of  $60,536.68  was  added  to  the 
Securities  Income  Reserve  Fund  as  against  $62,510.91  last  year.  At 
August  31,  1951,  this  Reserve  amounted  to  $171,424.09. 

Operating  expenses  of  $561,628  were  approximately  $31,000 
higher  than  the  previous  year  and  of  this  amount,  about  $24,000 
represented  increased  salary  expense.  The  operating  deficit  for 
this  year,  including  the  net  loss  sustained  by  the  Work  Shop  of 
$5,278.13,  amounted  to  $20,509.86  as  against  a  deficit  of  $82,196.56 
in  the  prior  year.  Together  with  the  deficit,  charges  against  the 
Reserve  Fund  for  Depreciation  totaled  $207,166.30.  Among  these 
were  the  balance  of  expense  for  boiler  replacements  of  $90,368.82 
and  $95,447.11  for  special  maintenance.  The  balance  of  the  fund 
on  August  31,  1951  was  $369,489.95— a  net  reduction  of  $158,442.66. 

The  operation  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  resulted  in  a  loss  of 
$31,073.07  as  against  the  prior  year's  loss  of  $27,025.76.  Income 
from  investments  of  $11,262.86  was  substantially  lower  than  the 
$15,945.40  received  in  the  prior  year,  as  a  large  withdrawal  from 
investment  funds  was  necessary  to  support  the  increased  inventory 
and  deferred  expenses  of  the  new  Braille  Writer.  The  latter  is  now 
in  production  and  initial  shipments  have  been  made.  The  net  loss, 
after  investment  income,  for  the  present  year  was  $20,410.21  as 
against  $11,590.98  in  the  year  ended  August  31,  1950. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Ralph  B.  Williams,  Treasurer

ACCOUNTANTS'  REPORT 

To  the  Trustees  of 

Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind, 
Boston,  Massachusetts 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  Institution  and 
Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind  (not  including  Howe  Memorial 
Press  Fund)  as  of  August  31,  1951  and  the  related  statements  of  income 
and  expenditures  and  reserve  fund  for  depreciation  for  the  year  then 
ended.  We  have  also  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Howe  Memorial 
Press  Fund  as  of  August  31,  1951  and  the  related  statement  of  income 
and  expenditures  for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  examinations  were  made 
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  and  included 
such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such  other  auditing  procedures 
as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances. 

We  examined  all  investment  securities  recorded  as  owned  by  the 
Institution  and  by  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  as  of  August  31,  1951 
and  held  for  their  respective  accounts  by  the  Fiduciary  Trust  Company. 
We  audited  all  changes  in  investments  during  the  year  then  ended  and 
satisfied  ourselves  that  investment  income  receivable  during  the  year 
was  duly  received. 

As  of  August  31,  1951  the  Trustees  voted  to  charge  the  net  loss 
($20,509.86)  resulting  from  the  Institution's  operations  for  the  year 
then  ended  against  the  reserve  fund  for  depreciation  (Exhibit  "C"). 

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present  fairly 
the  financial  position  of  the  Institution  and  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press 
Fund  at  August  31,  1951  and  the  results  of  their  operations  for  the  year 
then  ended.  ^

PERKINS  INSTITUTION 

Our  History 

In  1826  a  Boston  physician,  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher,  returned  home 
from  Paris  where  he  had  been  impressed  by  the  work  of  the  Institut 
Nationale  des  Jeunes  Aveugles,  the  School  which  was  to  become 
famous  in  later  years  as  the  place  where  Louis  Braille  was  a  student 
and  teacher  and  where  he  devised  the  system  of  reading  and  writing 
for  the  blind  which  bears  his  name.  Dr.  Fisher  formed  a  committee 
which  petitioned  the  Legislature,  and  was  granted  an  Act  of  In- 
corporation on  March  the  second,  1829,  establishing  "The  New 
England  Asylum  for  the  Blind,"  the  first  school  for  the  blind  in 
America  to  receive  a  Charter.  In  1831,  another  Boston  physician. 
Dr.  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  returned  from  participation  in  the  Greek 
War  of  Independence,  and  was  chosen  to  be  the  first  Director  of  the 
School.  In  August,  1832,  the  first  classes  were  held  in  the  house 
of  Dr.  Howe's  father,  on  Pleasant  Street. 

As  the  pupils  soon  outgrew  their  quarters.  Colonel  Thomas  H. 
Perkins,  a  wealthy  Boston  merchant  who  had  become  interested  in 
this  venture,  gave  for  its  use  his  large  house  on  Pearl  Street.  The 
need  for  still  larger  quarters  soon  became  apparent,  and  in  1839 
a  great  hotel,  near  the  ocean  in  South  Boston,  was  purchased.  This 
was  made  possible  by  the  assent  of  Colonel  Perkins  to  the  sale  of  his 
home,  and  because  of  this  generosity  the  Trustees  renamed  the  School, 
"Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  Asylum  for  the  Blind."  This 
name  was  changed  in  1877  to  the  present  name,  "Perkins  Institution 
and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind."  All  these  names  are  some- 
what misleading,  as  throughout  its  history  Perkins  has  been  a  School 
accepting  responsibility  for  educating  the  blind  children  of  New 
England. 

Dr.  Howe  directed  the  growing  work  of  Perkins  Institution  for 
forty  years,  during  which  the  young  School  soon  forged  ahead  of 
its  European  predecessors  in  its  successful  training  of  blind  boys  and 
girls  to  take  their  places  in  their  own  communities.  During  this  time, 
too.  Dr.  Howe  devoted  much  time  to  building  up  the  School's  endow- 
ment. But  perhaps  the  most  famous  work  of  his  career  was  his 
successful  training  of  Laura  Bridgman,  the  first  deaf-blind  person 
to  receive  an  education. 

Page  Seven 


In  1876  Dr.  Howe  was  succeeded  by  his  Greek  protege  and  son- 
in-law,  Michael  Anagnos.  Mr.  Anagnos  created  the  Howe  Memorial 
Press  for  embossing  books  and  for  making  appliances  for  the  blind, 
and  in  1877  he  founded  what  was  known  as  the  Kindergarten  in 
Jamaica  Plain,  the  first  school  for  young  blind  children  in  the  world. 
He,  too,  was  a  most  successful  raiser  of  funds  for  the  School  endow- 
ment. After  thirty  years  of  leadership,  Mr.  Anagnos  died  in  Rumania 
in  1906. 

In  1907  the  Directorship  of  Perkins  Institution  passed  to  Dr. 
Edward  E.  Allen,  then  Head  of  the  School  for  the  Blind  in  Phila- 
delphia which  he  had  just  rebuilt.  Returning  to  Boston  where  he 
was  a  native.  Dr.  Allen  began  plans  for  moving  the  two  Schools  from 
South  Boston  and  Jamaica  Plain,  and  by  1913  the  whole  Institution 
was  operating  in  the  present  plant  at  Watertown.  The  new  School, 
situated  on  an  old  estate  of  thirty-four  acres  on  the  banks  of  the 
Charles  River,  has  teaching  and  living  space  for  nearly  three  hundred 
pupils.  The  children  live  in  small  Cottages  and  the  majority  of  the 
Staff  are  resident. 

Dr.  Allen  established  the  first  training  courses  for  teachers  of 
blind  children  in  collaboration  with  Harvard  University.  He  retired 
in  1931,  but  continued  his  work  in  the  training  of  teachers  for  a 
number  of  years. 

In  1931,  Dr.  Gabriel  Farrell  became  the  fourth  Director.  He 
organized  the  training  of  our  deaf-blind  pupils  as  a  special  depart- 
ment, and  established  an  endowment  fund  for  these  doubly  handi- 
capped children.  Dr.  Farrell  retired  in  1951,  and  was  succeeded  by 
Mr.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse.

REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES 

November  3,  1952 

The  Annual  Report  of  the  academic  year  1951-1952  is  herewith 
submitted  on  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.  This  covers  the  first 
year  under  Mr.  Waterhouse's  direction  which  for  several  reasons 
was  unusually  eventful. 

In  October,  1951,  the  Trustees  came  to  the  conclusion  that  the 
South  Boston  Workshop  should  be  closed  the  following  June.  This 
rather  painful  decision  followed  a  long  period  of  study.  The  deter- 
mining reasons  are  to  be  found  in  the  Bursar's  Report. 

Also  in  October  the  School  was  host  to  a  Regional  Conference  on 
Tests  and  Measurements  for  the  Blind.  Dr.  Samuel  P.  Hayes,  our 
School  psychologist,  planned  the  program.  A  full  report  of  the  Pro- 
ceedings has  been  published  and  widely  distributed. 

At  the  request  of  the  Trustees  the  Director  submitted  a  new 
salary  scale  for  professional  employees.  This  scale  was  approved  and 
will  become  effective  in  three  annual  steps  commencing  September, 
1953.  This  will  bring  teachers'  salaries  in  line  with  other  comparable 
organizations.  Salaries  for  Maintenance  and  Clerical  employees  were 
also  adjusted.  To  finance  these  increases  it  has  been  necessary  to 
raise  our  tuition  fees  considerably. 

In  January,  1952,  the  Trustees  authorized  the  Director  to  study 
the  problems  facing  us  in  the  near  future  through  increased  enroll- 
ments. This  led  to  the  preparation  of  a  New  England  Plan  for  the 
Education  of  Blind  Youth  which  has  been  the  subject  of  much 
comment  since  its  presentation  last  spring.  This  plan  is  in  line  with 
current  thinking  which  recognizes  the  possibilities  of  educating  a 
certain  number  of  blind  children  in  the  public  schools. 

In  May,  Mr.  Benjamin  F.  Smith,  our  Dean  of  Boys,  was  appointed 
Acting  Principal  of  the  Upper  School.  Later,  by  reorganizing  some 
of  his  work,  his  responsibility  was  extended  to  cover  all  of  the  School 
except  the  Kindergarten,  which  for  the  present  is  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Waterhouse. 

On  becoming  Director,  Mr.  Waterhouse  and  his  family  moved 
into  the  house  usually  occupied  by  the  Principal.  The  Deaf-Blind 
Department  was  moved  into  the  former  Director's  Cottage,  providing 
it  with  more  adequate  quarters  than  it  had  ever  enjoyed.    During  the 

Page  Twenty 


spring  of  1952  the  Trustees  decided  to  build  a  new  Director's  Cottage 
so  that  the  Principal's  house  could  revert  to  its  former  use.  It  is 
expected  that  the  new  Cottage  will  be  available  for  occupancy  in 
August,  1953. 

In  June  the  Trustees  appointed  Dr.  Gabriel  Farrell  to  be  Director 
Emeritus  of  Perkins  Institution.  They  also  authorized  the  Director 
and  Dr.  Samuel  P.  Hayes  to  represent  Perkins  at  the  International 
Conference  of  Educators  of  Blind  Youth  in  Bussum,  The  Nether- 
lands, held  July  25  to  August  2. 

On  February  26,  1952,  our  Principal,  Mr.  Orin  A.  Stone,  died 
suddenly  from  a  heart  attack.  Mr.  Stone  was  respected  and  loved  by 
students  and  Staff  alike.  His  loss  would  have  been  a  serious  matter 
at  any  time.  Coming  during  a  year  of  change  it  was  particularly 
grievous. 

We  regret  to  report  the  deaths  of  three  members  of  the  Cor- 
poration during  the  School  year.  They  are  Mr.  Henry  H.  Crapo, 
Mrs.  L.  Cartaret  Fenno,  and  Mrs.  Reginald  Foster. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Reginald  Fitz,  M.D.,  President

REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 

This  is  the  one  hundred  and  twenty-first  Annual  Report  of 
Perkins  Institution,  and  the  first  to  be  submitted  by  the  fifth  Director 
who  took  office  July  1,  1951,  at  a  time  when  many  important  changes 
were  taking  place  in  the  education  of  the  blind. 

Annual  Reports  frequently  contain  only  the  current  statistics, 
and  a  chronological  account  of  the  year's  happenings,  but  the  be- 
ginning of  a  new  administration  seems  to  provide  an  appropriate 
occasion  for  giving  a  more  general  account  of  the  School, 

Both  in  academic  and  other  services,  Perkins  offers  more  than 
is  generally  realized.  Space  does  not  permit  a  detailed  account  of 
all  the  courses  we  offer,  or  the  special  techniques  used  by  our  Staff. 
Nor  can  we  describe  at  length  the  many  advantages  arising  from  our 
well  planned  buildings  and  beautiful  campus.  We  are  contenting 
ourselves  with  reprinting  on  pages  47  to  58  an  outline  of  our  pro- 
gram prepared  by  various  members  of  the  Staff  for  a  meeting  held 
at  Perkins  last  May  of  people  interested  in  the  education  of  the  blind 
youth  of  New  England.  Like  all  other  outlines,  this  one  lacks  the 
personal  touch.  The  human  side  of  the  School  may  perhaps  be 
glimpsed  from  the  pictures  of  our  children  and  from  other  parts 
of  the  Report. 

Our  program  is,  of  course,  carefully  planned  to  meet  the  needs 
of  blind  students.  However,  we  do  not  wish  to  think  of  our  boys 
and  girls  primarily  as  blind,  and  not  altogether  as  students,  but  as 
girls  and  boys  who  are  parts  of  families  and  members  of  their  com- 
munities. They  should  be  accepted  as  such  not  only  after  leaving 
school,  but  during  their  childhood.  Unless  each  child  proves  accept- 
able to  seeing  people  there  will  be  walls  of  segregation  around  him 
all  the  days  of  his  life. 

Our  Aim 

Our  aim  has  been  frequently  described  as  the  educating  of  blind 
youth  to  play  a  contributory  part  in  society.  This  is  indeed  a  major 
aim,  but  perhaps  in  the  light  of  modern  educational  thinking,  it  is 
not  quite  adequate.  Handicapped  people  must  not  only  contribute, 
but  for  complete  success  they  must  feel  themselves  an  integral  part 
of  their  community,  with  the  handicap  kept  as  inconspicuous  as 
possible. 

Page  Twenty-three 


We  all  of  us  wish  for  our  pupils  successful,  normal  lives,  and 
while  in  such  lives  a  contribution  to  society  is  an  important  factor, 
it  is  not  sufficient  in  itself  to  counteract  the  unhappy  effects  of  blind- 
ness. Such  effects  perhaps  can  never  be  eliminated  entirely,  but  the 
boys  and  girls  who  realize  best  that  they  are  normal  human  beings, 
with  just  the  same  claim  for  affection  and  respect  from  their  fellows 
as  anyone  else,  but  with  no  more,  seem  to  come  closest  to  happiness 
and  to  our  definition  of  success. 

This  means  that  our  pupils  must  not  only  be  well  trained  voca- 
tionally, and  socially,  but  they  must  be  helped  to  develop  fine  charac- 
ters, and  to  acquire  a  superior  understanding  both  of  human  nature 
and  of  their  own  personalities.  As  far  as  possible  they  must  learn 
to  accept  their  limitations  with  a  minimum  of  bitterness,  and  a  de- 
termination to  prevent  their  handicap  from  dominating  their  lives. 
A  most  important  factor  in  this  educational  process  is,  of  course,  the 
calibre  of  our  Staff,  the  choice  and  training  of  which  is  undoubtedly 
one  of  the  most  serious  tasks  which  falls  to  the  administration  to 
perform. 

The  Staff 

Among  our  twenty-four  Housemothers  and  our  ninety  or  more 
other  Staff  members  we  find  many  types  of  personality  and  a  wide 
variety  of  backgrounds.  However,  we  all  have  one  aim,  to  educate 
blind  girls  and  boys  as  completely  as  we  can.  Each  one  of  us  has 
to  approach  his  task  in  his  own  way.  Some  can  instill  a  love  of 
learning,  others  can  build  character;  some  are  good  at  imparting  manual 
or  musical  skills,  others  are  successful  in  teaching  children  how  to 
get  along  with  others.  Some  of  us  work  to  build  strong  bodies, 
others  to  develop  self-confident  personalities.  All  are  responsible  for 
the  family  atmosphere  in  which  alone  a  feeling  of  security  can  flourish. 

Our  task  continually  changes  as  children  grow,  and  as  new  ones 
come.  None  of  us  would  claim  to  be  so  expert  that  he  succeeds 
with  every  child  under  his  care.  All  of  us  have  to  be  able  to 
resist  frustration.  Each  of  us  in  his  turn  suffers  discouragement. 
Each  one  of  us,  from  time  to  time,  needs  a  helping  hand  from  someone 
else  on  the  Staff.  Most  of  us  feel  that  our  personal  satisfactions  far 
outweigh  the  effort  needed  to  achieve  them. 

Frequently  employees  decide  that  this  is  not  the  work  they  should 
be  doing.  Our  turnover  is  far  too  great.  The  selection  of  replace- 
ments is  a  major  task.     Fortunately  we  are  able  to  fill  most  of  our 

Pdge  Twenty-four 


teaching  positions  from  members  of  our  Teacher  Training  Course. 
The  selection  of  Housemothers  is  a  particularly  difficult  and  important 
responsibility  of  the  administration. 

The  Kindergarten 

For  some  years  our  Kindergarten  children  have  been  housed  in 
Bradlee  and  Anagnos  Cottages.  Recently  the  pressure  of  numbers 
forced  us  to  take  May  Cottage,  which  was  originally  used  by  girls 
in  the  Upper  School,  and  place  a  Kindergarten  group  there.  This  took 
place  in  September  1950.  A  further  increase  caused  us  to  do  the 
same  with  Oliver  Cottage  in  September  1951.  At  this  time  we  had 
about  thirty  boys  and  girls  in  these  two  Cottages,  and  during  the 
year  the  numbers  increased  to  forty-seven.  Each  Cottage  had  three 
Housemothers  and  three  Teachers.  Of  the  six  teachers,  five  had  had 
experience  either  in  Kindergarten  work  or  in  Nursery  School.  The 
sixth  was  a  member  of  the  Harvard  Class  who  was  taking  courses  at 
the  Boston  Nursery  Training  School  as  well.  Three  Housemothers 
in  May  Cottage  had  been  with  us  at  least  one  year,  but  the  three  in 
Oliver  were  entirely  new.  The  Kindergarten  was  supervised  by 
Miss  Jean  Gray  who  had  been  with  us  for  two  or  three  years  and 
who,  in  spite  of  youth  and  limited  experience,  helped  us  to  establish 
what  we  feel  to  be  a  satisfactory  program. 

Behind  Oliver  Cottage  we  built  a  new  playground  containing 
swings,   slides,   a   merry-go-round,   sand-boxes   and  other   equipment.

The  children  seemed  to  make  adequate  progress  physically  in  spite  of 
the  epidemics  which  plagued  not  only  our  whole  School  but  most  of 
the  schools  in  New  England  during  the  winter.  Both  outdoors  and 
indoors  their  play  seemed  to  be  generally  happy.  Handwork,  rhythms, 
and  story-telling  followed  a  common  Kindergarten  pattern.  With 
most  of  the  children  progress  was  normal  and  perhaps  above  normal. 
For  some  the  year  showed  that  they  had  too  much  vision  to  remain  at 
Perkins  and  they  were  recommended  for  the  public  schools.  No  one 
made  no  progress,  but  a  number  were  held  over  for  a  further  year 
in  the  Kindergarten. 

The  Cottage  Group 

In  some  ways  this  arrangement  of  the  Kindergarten  is  ideal. 
Each  Cottage  group  can  be  subdivided  into  small  numbers  for  most 
of  the  day's  program,  but  the  children  come  together  in  the  large 
playroom  for  Music  and  Games  and,  of  course,  they  eat  together  in 
the  same  dining-room.  The  group  is  large  enough  to  supply  plenty 
of  social  activity  and  can  be  small  enough  for  almost  individual  at- 
tention. The  six  adults  in  each  Cottage  worked  well  together  to  see 
that  the  School  activities  and  those  after  school  hours  were  not  in 
conflict  in  any  way.  We  were  fortunate  in  having  the  services  of 
a  fine  psychiatrist.  Dr.  Jane  Hallenbeck,  for  most  of  the  year,  whose 
advice  to  the  School  Staff  in  the  handling  of  these  small  children 
was  invaluable.  Having  the  Kindergarten  children  separated  from 
the  Primary  grades  allows  us  to  devote  considerable  attention  to  their 
particular  problems.  Having  a  majority  of  the  parents  living  com- 
paratively near  has  helped  us  to  integrate  our  program  with  the  home. 
We  enjoyed  excellent  co-operation  with  the  parents  of  this  group 
throughout  the  year. 

Several  of  the  children  were  day  students,  and  most  of  the  others 
went  home  every  week-end,  or  frequently.  Several  of  the  children 
were  repeating  Kindergarten.  AH  of  these,  however,  were  able  to 
proceed  to  the  first  grade  at  the  end  of  the  school  year. 

A  high  percentage  of  these  children  were  suffering  from  retro- 
lental  fibroplasia.  A  large  proportion  of  this  group  are  totally  blind 
and  have  been  so  since  birth.  They  do  not  have  even  light  perception. 
Our  experience  with  these  children  leads  us  to  believe  that  this  may  be 
a  very  important  factor  in  their  rate  of  development. 

Some  of  the  children  in  our  Kindergarten  group  were  unhappy 
and  disturbed.  With  some  this  manifested  itself  in  a  withdrawal 
from  the  group,  a  listlessness  and  a  lack  of  interest  in  life.    With  a 

Page  Twenty-eight 


smaller  group  we  had  tantrums  and  one  little  boy  was  so  violent  that 
he  had  to  be  temporarily  withdrawn  during  the  fall.  One  little  girl, 
who  came  to  us  about  mid-year,  was  also  withdrawn  because  of  a 
serious  physical  condition  of  the  sinuses. 

Primary  Grades 

The  children  in  the  first  three  grades  lived  and  had  their  classes 
in  Bradlee  and  Anagnos  Cottages.  There  were  both  boys  and  girls 
in  each  house  which  in  most  respects  was  carrying  out  the  same  kind 
of  program.  These  Cottages  were  being  used  for  the  purpose  for 
which  they  were  designed  except  that  there  were  no  Kindergarten 
children.  The  large  living  rooms  which  had  been  quite  suitable  for 
Kindergarten  activities  cannot  be  used  for  classrooms  for  the  ad- 
ditional Primary  grades  which  have  been  added  recently,  and  as  a 
result  new  quarters  had  to  be  found  in  each  Cottage  for  classroom 
activities. 

It  was  in  the  Primary  grades  that  the  shortage  of  trained  teachers, 
which  has  been  growing  more  acute  since  the  War,  was  most  apparent 
last  year.  Several  of  the  teachers  had  not  had  classroom  experience 
and  required  a  great  deal  of  guidance  from  the  Supervisor.  All  of 
them  responded  well  to  the  challenge  which  faced  them.  Bradlee 
Cottage  life  was  also  complicated  by  several  changes  in  Housemothers 
which  put  additional  burdens  on  the  resident  Staff. 

The  children  seemed  to  progress  satisfactorily.  A  normal  number 
of  promotions  came  at  the  end  of  the  year  and  nobody  was  dropped 
from  School  for  lack  of  progress. 

There  was  an  abnormally  large  amount  of  sickness  in  common 
with  the  rest  of  New  England. 

One  of  the  chief  academic  developments  during  the  year  was  the 
introduction,  on  a  fairly  large  scale,  of  the  Perkins  Brailler.  This 
braille  writer  operates  with  such  a  light  touch  that  even  small  children 
can  operate  it  with  ease,  and  it  was  part  of  the  original  idea,  when  it 
was  designed,  that  it  might  replace  the  slate  and  stylus  in  the  early 
grades. 

There  are  serious  objections  to  the  use  of  the  slate  and  stylus 
in  teaching  braille  to  young  beginners  because  with  this  equipment 
the  child  writes  from  right  to  left  across  the  page,  each  letter  being 
reversed.  Braille  is  a  difficult  enough  subject  for  a  small  child  to 
master  without  having  to  read  from  left  to  right  and  write  from  right 
to  left.  The  first  few  months  with  the  new  machines  would  seem  to 
indicate  that  they  will  be  very  helpful  to  our  pupils. 

Page  Twenly-nine 


Intermediate  Grades 

Grades  four,  five  and  six  occupied  Potter  and  Glover  Cottages 
as  always  and  as  our  new  wave  of  increasing  enrollment  had  not  yet 
seriously  affected  this  part  of  the  School  we  had  no  particularly  new 
problems.  Except  in  the  ungraded  group,  our  Staff  was  fully  ex- 
perienced; nor  were  there  many  changes  among  the  Housemothers. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  this  group  came  under  the  super- 
vision of  Mr.  Orin  Stone,  and  consequently  suffered  a  serious  loss 
in  his  death  on  February  26,  but  by  that  time  the  year's  program  was 
moving  along  so  smoothly  that  it  required  little  supervision  for  the 
rest  of  the  year. 

In  the  Intermediate  grades  we  gave  the  usual  achievement  tests 
which  indicated  an  average  amount  of  progress.  Every  graded  child 
was  promoted  at  the  end  of  the  year. 

Upper  School  ■■ 

In  sharp  contrast  to  the  Lower  School  there  were  very  few  Staff 
changes  at  the  beginning  of  the  year.  Mrs.  Lenore  W.  Fenton  joined 
our  Staff  as  teacher  of  Home  Economics.  Miss  Janet  Dunwoodie 
became  teacher  of  Physical  Education  in  the  Girls'  Department.  It 
was  planned  that  a  minimum  of  changes  would  take  place  in  the 
Upper  School  this  year  and  this  would  have  been  accomplished  had 
it  not  been  for  the  death  of  Mr.  Stone  in  February.  It  was  im- 
mediately necessary  to  assign  many  of  his  duties  to  Mr.  Benjamin  F. 
Smith,  who  later  in  the  year  was  appointed  Acting  Principal. 

Mr.  Smith  has  a  wide  experience  in  the  education  of  the  blind, 
both  at  Perkins  and  at  the  Washington  State  School  for  the  Blind 
in  Vancouver,  Washington.  He  has  taught  in  both  the  Lower  and 
Upper  Schools,  including  work  with  the  ungraded  groups,  headed  the 
Boy  Scout  program,  introduced  wrestling  into  the  curriculum,  directed 
Physical  Education  for  some  years,  and  has  been  largely  responsible 
for  our  present  program  of  social  training.  During  recent  years  he 
has  been  our  Dean  of  Boys,  and  he  continues  in  this  position. 

A  new  course  in  Radio  was  added  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  W. 
W.  Howat  who,  although  he  began  to  take  charge  of  Buildings  and 
Grounds  during  the  year,  continued  to  fill  his  teaching  assignments. 
In  this  course  are  taught  the  basic  fundamentals  of  radio  theory  and 
construction,  including  repair. 

There  were  no  candidates  for  the  Bennett  Cottage  Course  in 
Home  Economics,  but  several  girls  lived  there  under  Miss  Carpenter's 
charge. 

Page  Thirty 


The  enrollment  in  the  Upper  School  was  extremely  small.  As 
mentioned  elsewhere,  Oliver  Cottage  was  transferred  to  Kinder- 
garten use,  but  Fisher  Cottage,  which  had  been  used  by  the  Deaf- 
Blind  Department  in  recent  years,  was  made  available  for  our  older 
girls. 

Social  Acceptability 

With  most  blind  children  the  handicap  of  blindness  is  less  an 
educational  handicap  and  more  a  social  one.  As  our  desire  to  make 
our  pupils  socially  acceptable,  and  to  give  them  every  opportunity  to 
prove  their  acceptability  is  reflected  in  all  parts  of  our  program,  it  is 
inevitable  that  it  should  be  expressed  in  various  parts  of  our  Annual 
Report. 

All  of  our  Staff  members  are  well  aware  that  it  is  not  sufficient 
to  send  a  child  home  from  School  equipped  merely  with  a  good  Di- 
ploma which  represents  high  grades.  There  are  many  other  things 
which  we  can  do  to  prepare  children  for  association  with  the  seeing 
at  all  age  levels  and  particularly  in  the  Junior  and  Senior  High  groups. 


In  part,  our  social  program  consists  of  instruction  in  the  social 
graces;  in  handling  food;  in  carrying  on  conversation;  in  being  able 
to  dance,  or  to  swim  or  to  play  games.  A  person  who  is  competent 
in  any  of  these  activities  will  find  the  problem  of  getting  along  with 
people  much  easier.  The  possession  of  a  good  voice  and  the  ability 
to  play  an  instrument  also  help  to  break  down  the  inevitable  barrier 
which  exists  between  members  of  a  minority  group  and  the  rest  of 
the  world.  We  have  frequent  dances  and  other  functions  to  which 
seeing  children  come,  and  our  children  constantly  participate  in  out- 
side activities,  in  churches,  clubs,  athletic  events,  concerts,  and  so  forth. 

The  chief  responsibility  for  this  side  of  our  program  has  been 
given  to  the  Deans,  but  practically  all  the  Staff  members  co-operate 
in  it.  It  is  chiefly  because  of  this  that  we  need  to  have  a  large  per- 
centage of  them  living  on  the  grounds.  The  Staff  member  who  co- 
operates in  this  program  is  making  a  fundamental  contribution  to  the 
welfare  of  our  children. 

As  a  recognition  of  this  fact,  the  Director  inserted  into  the  new 
salary  plan,  adopted  by  the  Trustees  during  the  spring,  a  clause  which 
requires  all  teachers,  whether  they  live  in  or  whether  they  live  out, 
to  receive  similar  pay  for  similar  assignments.  This  recognizes  that 
those  who  are  residential  members  of  our  Family  contribute  by  their 
presence  and  participation  in  the  family  life  an  essential  ingredient 
in  our  work.  Our  pupils,  both  now  and  in  the  past,  owe  much  to  the 
many  loyal  men  and  women  who  have  recognized  and  who  are  still 
recognizing  this  fact. 

Mental  Health 

The  School  year  started  with  two  part-time  psychiatrists  on  our 
Staff.  Dr.  Herbert  Barry,  Jr.,  and  Dr.  Jane  A.  Hallenbeck  gave 
us  invaluable  help  with  those  of  our  children  who  had  personal 
problems  beyond  our  capacity  to  diagnose  and  treat.  We  have  never 
offered  intensive  psycho- therapy  to  our  pupils.  Where  this  is  neces- 
sary it  has  to  be  obtained  through  clinics.  However,  the  psychiatrists' 
diagnoses  of  our  children's  problems,  and  their  advice  to  the  Staff 
as  to  how  these  should  be  handled,  have  been  of  great  value. 

Unfortunately,  during  the  spring  Dr.  Hallenbeck  accompanied 
her  husband  who  was  called  into  the  United  States  Army  and  trans- 
ferred from  the  Boston  area. 

As  there  seemed  to  be  a  gap  between  the  services  offered  by  our 
psychiatrists  and  our  Staff,  and  as  a  most  suitable  applicant  for 
Guidance  Counselor  was  available,  Mr.  Carl  Davis  was  appointed  to 

Petge  Thirty-two 


Caroling  at  Christmas 

jEill  this  new  position.  Mr.  Davis  had  been  a  part-time  teacher  of 
Science  and  a  Cottage  Master  while  studying  for  his  Master's  Degree 
in  Chnical  Psychology  at  Harvard.  He  prepared  to  begin  his  new 
duties  in  September  1952. 

School  Administration 

With  a  new  Director  taking  office  certain  changes  in  administra- 
tion were  inevitable.  Every  Director  must  work  out  his  problems 
in  the  way  best  suited  to  his  own  peculiar  way  of  thinking.  New 
problems  existed  which  had  never  been  faced  before,  and  it  seemed 
necessary  first  of  all  to  see  that  all  parts  of  the  School  program 
functioned  at  maximum  efficiency. 

It  so  happens  that  the  fifth  Director  has  great  faith  in  team  work. 
One  of  his  first  acts  on  taking  office  was  to  appoint  an  Advisory  Policy 


Page  Thirty-three 


Committee.  The  members  were  selected  by  himself  and  consisted  of 
Mr.  Stone,  Principal;  Miss  Carpenter,  Dean  of  Girls;  Mr.  Smith, 
Dean  of  Boys;  and  Mr.  J.  S.  Hemphill,  Bursar.  They  were  chosen 
not  only  for  their  intimate  knowledge  of  all  phases  of  the  School's 
activities,  but  because  of  their  proven  ability  to  function  as  a  team. 

The  Director  gave  this  Committee  the  right  to  discuss  any  mat- 
ters affecting  the  welfare  of  pupils  and  Staff.  He  reserved  the  right 
to  overrule  their  decisions  if  he  considered  it  to  be  necessary,  but  on 
no  occasion  did  this  happen.  From  the  Director's  point  of  view  this 
Committee  is  invaluable.  Each  of  its  members  makes  unique  con- 
tributions; no  one  has  dogmatic  tendencies,  and  everyone  has  accepted 
criticism  of  his  department  with  good  will.  Such  changes  as  were 
made  during  the  year  were  largely  the  product  of  this  group.  It 
should  be  noted  that  the  Committee  was  given  no  responsibility  in 
the  external  affairs  of  the  School,  nor  did  it  deal,  except  on  rare  occa- 
sions, with  problems  of  individual  children. 

The  loss  of  Mr.  Stone  was  keenly  felt  on  this  Committee  which 
was  called  upon  to  help  in  the  solution  of  the  problems  caused  by 
his  death.  The  way  in  which  it  helped  the  Director  to  work  out 
solutions  to  these  and  many  other  problems  was  most  commendable. 
The  Committee  met  regularly  every  week  and  occasionally  special 
meetings  were  held  to  meet  emergencies. 

The  problems  of  individual  children  had  for  many  years  been 
handled  by  a  large  group  known  as  the  Personnel  Department,  con- 
sisting of  the  Director,  the  Principal,  the  Deans,  the  Nurses,  Speech 
Therapists,  Physiotherapist,  Social  Worker,  Psychologist  and  Psy- 
chometrist.  This  large  group  continued  to  meet  at  intervals  of  about 
a  month,  but  it  was  unwieldy,  and  many  decisions  concerning  our  boys 
and  girls  had  to  be  made  between  meetings  and  by  a  small  group  of 
Staff  members.  Toward  the  end  of  the  year  it  became  apparent  that 
a  much  smaller  Committee  was  desirable,  able  to  meet  as  regularly 
as  the  Policy  Committee,  and  with  a  Secretary  who  would  prepare  the 
agenda  and  see  that  all  Personnel  records  necessary  for  dealing  with  a 
problem  were  on  hand.  Such  a  Committee  was  organized  to  begin 
functioning  in  September  1952. 

For  the  last  several  years  Miss  Carpenter  has  been  Dean  of  the 
Cottages  in  the  Girls'  Upper  School,  with  Mr.  Smith  performing  a 
similar  function  on  the  Boys'  Side.  They  have  had  general  super- 
vision of  Cottage  activities,  and  it  is  to  them  that  the  Housemothers 
have  turned  for  advice  and  assistance. 

During  the  year  the  responsibilities  of  these  Deans  were  extended 

Page  Thirty-four 


to  include  the  Cottages  in  the  Lower  School.  At  first  this  meant 
little  in  some  Cottages  where  experienced  Housemothers  had  been 
directing  an  adequate  program  for  a  number  of  years.  However,  as 
these  were  replaced  with  new  Housemothers,  the  Deans  widened  their 
activities.  Since  they  are  members  of  the  Advisory  Policy  Committee, 
they  are  an  effective  liaison  between  the  Director  and  the  Cottages. 
They  are  able  to  see  that  School  policies  are  carried  out  in  every 
Cottage,  and  being  in  daily  contact  with  Cottage  problems  they  can 
recommend  policy  changes  whenever  this  seems  desirable. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  revised  Social  Security  Act,  all  employees 
of  sixty-five  years  of  age  or  over,  on  July  1,  1952,  were  ehgible  for 
pension.  In  view  of  this  the  Trustees  approved  a  policy  of  retiring 
Housemothers  at  the  age  of  sixty-five,  a  policy  which  hitherto  had 
applied  only  to  teachers  and  other  professional  workers.  Since  this 
would  have  meant  a  very  large  turnover  if  put  immediately  into  effect, 
the  Housemothers  agreed  to  remain  at  their  posts  until  such  time  as 
suitable  replacements  were  found.  When  this  occurred  during  the 
School  year  they  have  been  given  a  longer  notice  than  is  customary. 
For  this  and  other  reasons  the  turnover  of  Housemothers  at  the  end 
of  the  year  promised  to  be  greater  than  usual,  and  the  presence  of 
experienced  Deans  was,  consequently,  of  special  importance.  It  should 
be  noted  that  we  increased  our  number  of  Housemothers  by  adding 
second  Assistants  in  Bradlee  and  Anagnos,  and  by  planning  to  have 
a  third  Housemother  also  in  Potter  Cottage  during  the  year  1952-53, 
This  brought  our  total  number  of  Housemothers  up  to  twenty-four. 

As  the  School  year  drew  to  a  close,  the  Organization  Chart  re- 
produced in  this  Report  was  drawn  up  as  a  guide  for  the  Staff.  It 
represents  conditions  as  of  September  1952. 


Relations  With  Parents 

Relations  with  the  parents  of  our  children  have  been  growing 
steadily  closer  of  recent  years.  The  chief  contact  between  School  and 
home  has,  of  course,  been  our  Social  Worker.  During  the  year  Miss 
Frances  E.  Marshall,  who  had  held  this  post  for  fifteen  years,  resigned 
and  was  replaced  by  Miss  Eleanor  E.  Kelly,  who  for  a  short  time 
during  Dr.  Allen's  administration  was  our  Home  Visitor.  She  joined 
our  Staff  in  May  so  that  she  might  have  the  benefit  of  a  few  months 
actual  experience  here  before  assuming  full  responsibility  at  the 
end  of  June.

"Hi,  Mom!    How's  Dad?" 

Each  year  the  automobile  brings 
a  larger  group  of  parents  into 
close  contact  with  the  School. 
Not  only  do  we  now  have  more 
day  pupils  than  ever  before,  but 
a  considerable  percentage  of  our 
children,  particularly  in  the  Lower 
School,  are  able  to  go  home  for 
week-ends.  This  is  a  most  de- 
sirable development  and  deserves 
more  comment  than  space  permits 
in  this  report. 

Several  years  ago,  some  parents 
of  blind  children  (mostly  of  pre- 
school age)  organized  in  the  Boston  area  and  soon  became  a  large 
and  vigorous  group.  At  present  almost  half  of  these  parents  now 
have  children  of  school  age,  many  of  them  at  Perkins,  and  the  rela- 
tions between  the  School  and  this  group  are  most  cordial.  We  are 
happy  that  they  have  chosen  to  hold  their  meetings  at  the  School. 
It  should  be  emphasized  that  this  is  an  independent  group  and  in  no 
way  a  Parent-Teachers  organization  of  Perkins  Institution,  though 
in  many  ways  they  function  in  this  capacity. 

During  the  year  we  invited  our  own  Parents  to  several  Perkins 
affairs,  including,  of  course,  our  Carol  Concerts,  and  the  Open  House 
on  February  22,  when  they  were  invited  to  have  lunch  with  their 
children  in  the  Cottages.  A  small  group  of  parents  were  invited  to 
the  Director's  house  during  the  fall  to  discuss  ways  in  which  the 
parents  and  School  could  come  closer  together.  The  Director  is 
moving  rather  slowly  in  this  regard,  but  plans  for  closer  co-operation 
are  taking  shape. 

For  various  reasons  there  was  no  Summer  Institute  for  Pre- 
School  Children  and  their  Parents  this  year.  We  hope  to  organize 
one  for  the  summer  of  1953.  During  the  year  we  set  aside  a  room  in 
Bennett  Cottage  and  furnished  it  with  twin  beds  and  a  crib  for  any 
parents  with  small  children  who  might  wish  to  visit  our  School.  We 
are  not  advertising  any  special  services  as  we  do  not  have  trained  pre- 
school workers  on  our  Staff,  but  some  parents  have  found  it  valuable 


Page  Thirty-six 


to  spend  a  short  time  with  us  to  observe  our  methods  with  children 
of  school  age,  and  to  gain  such  encouragement  and  inspiration  as  they 
can  from  our  program. 

During  the  year  we  were  happy  to  have  Mrs.  Dorothea  F. 
Forbush,  the  newly  appointed  pre-school  worker  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Division  of  the  Blind,  spend  several  weeks  observing  our  Kinder- 
garten. Her  appointment  is  a  forward  step  which  we  most  warmly 
welcome. 


The  Deaf-Blind  Department 

For  several  years  the  Deaf-Blind  Department  had  occupied  Fisher 
Cottage,  but  with  increased  demand  for  space  it  was  necessary  to 
move  them  elsewhere.  The  obvious  solution  was  to  move  them  to  the 
Cottage  formerly  occupied  by  the  Directors  of  Perkins,  which  was 
made  vacant  by  Dr.  Farrell's  retirement.  Mr.  Waterhouse  was  able 
to  occupy  the  house  originally  planned  for  the  Principal,  because  of 
the  fortunate  fact  that  Mr.  Stone  had  his  own  house  just  near  the 
School  grounds. 

The  new  quarters  are  not  entirely  satisfactory  for  our  deaf -blind 
program,  and  the  problems  caused  by  carrying  out  many  alterations 
after  School  was  in  session  were  serious.  However,  the  Department 
had  a  good  year.  There  were  no  changes  in  Staff  except  that  Miss 
Fanny  Durfee,  who  had  been  a  Housemother  in  May  Cottage,  joined 
the  Department  as  an  attendant.  There  were  two  new  pupils, 
Monica  Noyes,  six  years  old,  from  Vermont;  and  Jeffrey  Stark,  five 
years  old,  from  Pennsylvania.  Monica  made  good  progress,  but 
Jeffrey  Stark  did  not  make  the  progress  we  hoped  and  was  with- 
drawn at  the  end  of  the  School  year.  Perry  Norris  of  Alabama  was 
approaching  twenty-one  years  of  age  at  the  end  of  the  School  year 
and  so  returned  to  his  home  State.  He  was  made  an  honorary  mem- 
ber of  the  graduating  class,  and  received  a  special  certificate  from  the 
Board  of  Trustees.  This  was  the  first  occasion  on  which  such  a 
certificate  has  been  awarded. 


Howe  Memorial  Press 

Distribution  of  the  Perkins  Brailler  in  quantity  got  under  way 
during  this  year,  by  the  end  of  which  approximately  a  thousand  ma- 
chines  were  in  use   throughout  the  world.     We  experienced  some 

Page  Thirty-seven 


difficulty  with  the  mainspring,  but  for  a  new  machine  breakdowns 
were  comparatively  rare.  We  have  received  many  reports  of  satis- 
faction, and  indeed  of  enthusiasm,  for  the  new  Writer  from  blind 
and  sighted  users  alike,  of  all  ages.  During  the  year  we  put  the 
Unimanual  Brailler  on  the  market  for  one-handed  operation.  The 
printing  of  braille  material  progressed  uneventfully.  During  the  year 
our  stereotyping  equipment  was  replaced  by  modern  machines  de- 
veloped by  Mr.  David  Abraham  which,  because  of  their  ease  of 
operation  and  freedom  from  breakdown,  helped  to  increase  the  output 
of  our  workers  appreciably.  This  new  equipment  is  now  available 
for  sale,  and  we  have  manufactured  several  of  the  new  models  for 
other  organizations. 

Interest  increased  during  the  year  in  the  Uformite  Process, 
originated  by  the  Volunteer  Services  for  the  Blind  of  Philadelphia. 
We  have  supplied  a  number  of  wringer  type  printing  presses  to  organi- 
zations in  different  parts  of  the  world,  who  have  chosen  this  method 
for  reproducing  braille  inexpensively. 

The  South  Boston  Workshop  Closed 

During  the  spring  of  1951,  the  President  of  Perkins  Institution 
appointed  a  Committee  under  the  chairmanship  of  Mr.  Paul  W.  Neal, 
one  of  our  Trustees,  to  recommend  a  course  of  action  with  regard  to 
the  Workshop  in  South  Boston.  This  Committee  consisted  of  several 
Trustees,  together  with  the  Bursar  and  the  new  Director.  During 
the  fall  they  recommended  to  the  full  Board  of  Trustees  that  the 
Workshop  be  closed  in  June  of  1952,  and  this  recommendation  was 
accepted.  Some  of  the  reasons  for  this  action  are  contained  in  the 
Bursar's  Report,  but  it  seems  desirable  to  speak  briefly  about  the  long 
history  of  this  Workshop  and  of  its  relations  to  Perkins  Institution. 

A  more  detailed  account  of  these  matters  was  pubhshed  in  the 
Lantern  for  December  1951  by  the  Bursar. 

Although  Perkins  Institution  was  inspired  by  European  prede- 
cessors, it  has,  in  common  with  other  Schools  for  the  Blind  in  America, 
never  accepted  that  a  sheltered  Workshop  should  be  part  of  the 
educational  set-up  for  blind  youth.  That  there  is  a  need  for  sheltered 
Workshops  is  not  denied,  particularly  for  those  who  have  lost  their 
sight  in  adult  life.  If  the  Shop  is  mainly  a  training  organization 
from  which  its  members  pass,  on  completion  of  their  apprenticeship, 
to  employment  in  industry,  then  the  expenditure  on  it  of  School  funds 
might  well  be  justified. 

Whether  this  could  have  been  the  case  with  the  Perkins  Work- 

Pdge  Thirty-eight 


Helen  Keller  is  presented  with  Perk.ins'  Brailler 


shop  is  open  to  question,  but  in  practice  it  never  has.  Workers  who 
have  gone  to  the  Workshop  have  almost  invariably  stayed  there  long 
after  their  maximum  skills  had  been  attained.  The  long  services  of 
the  employees,  reported  elsewhere  by  the  Bursar,  shows  how  permanent 
employment  in  our  Shop  tended  to  be. 

Fortunately  the  need  for  Perkins  to  run  a  Workshop  is  not  as 
great  as  at  some  times  in  the  past,  and  for  a  number  of  years  there 
have  been  no  applicants  for  employment  there.  While  this  is  partly 
due  to  the  fact  that  the  State  of  Massachusetts  has  established  a 
number  of  Workshops  during  recent  decades,  it  is  also  probably  true 
that  a  much  smaller  number  of  our  students  fail  to  find  acceptable 
employment  in  industry. 

It  was  a  matter  of  great  concern  to  us  during  this  year  to  see 
that  everything  possible  was  done  by  publicizing  the  situation  to  help 
the  employees  find  other  work.  Nor  was  the  final  step  taken  until 
we  had  explored  the  possibilities  of  other  organizations,  either  public 
or  private,  assuming  responsibility  for  our  Workshop. 

Our  records  show  that  the  South  Boston  Workshop  was  effectively 
administered,  and  the  subsidies  we  had  to  provide  from  the  School 

Page  Thirty-nine 


funds  were  far  less  than  in  the  vast  majority  of  sheltered  Workshops 
for  the  Blind. 

The  difficult  task  of  closing  the  Shop  with  a  minimum  of  con- 
fusion and  loss  was  ably  directed  by  the  Bursar  and  Miss  Emily 
Ramsay  who,  on  the  death  of  Mr.  Remick,  became  the  Workshop's 
last  Manager. 

Library  and  Museum 

The  Library  continued  to  serve  both  our  pupils  and  the  adult 
blind  of  New  England  with  braille  and  talking-book  material.  The 
circulation  of  talking  book  records  grew  about  ten  percent  over  the 
previous  year,  while  the  circulation  of  braille  material  remained  un- 
changed. Work  continued  in  the  Blindiana  Library  on  the  organizing 
of  the  papers  of  the  third  Director.  During  this  year  also  a  large 
amount  of  material  in  Grade  IV2  braille  was  sent  out,  mainly  from  our 
Lower  School  library,  as  gifts  to  schools  for  the  blind  in  foreign  coun- 
tries in  co-operation  with  the  American  Foundation  for  Overseas 
Blind  and  the  John  Milton  Society.  These  included  schools  in  Israel, 
Ethiopia  (two) ,  Formosa,  Haiti,  and  Jamaica. 

The  Librarian  is  responsible  for  Museum  exhibits.  This  year  the 
practice  of  having  a  special  exhibit  each  month  was  temporarily  dis- 
continued while  the  Staff  devoted  a  good  deal  of  time  and  attention 
to  improving  the  regular  displays  of  our  material.  Work  was  also 
started  on  reorganizing  the  Blindiana  Museum. 

During  the  year  an  unusually  large  number  of  exhibits  were  pre- 
pared for  organizations  throughout  the  Country,  These  included  one 
on  the  life  of  Dr.  Howe,  for  the  Army  Medical  Library  in  Washing- 
ton and  a  historical  collection  of  braille  writers  for  the  Library  of 
Congress,  Other  exhibits  were  prepared  on  the  Development  of  Em- 
bossed Types  for  the  Blind,  and  on  the  History  of  Communication 
for  the  Blind,  which  were  exhibited  at  the  Library  of  Congress  in 
Washington;  at  the  New  York  State  School  for  the  Blind  in  Batavia, 
New  York;  Public  Libraries  of  Chicago  and  Cleveland;  the  Hadley 
Correspondence  School  at  Winnetka;  the  Teacher  Training  Course 
at  Hampden  Institute;  the  Division  of  the  Blind's  exhibit  at  the  State 
Fair  in  Cheyenne,  Wyoming,  and  the  A.A.LB.— A.A,W.B.  Joint 
Conventions  at  Louisville,  Kentucky. 

Teacher  Training  Course 

Our  Teacher  Training  Course  met  as  usual  under  the  direction 
of  Dr.  Hayes,  with  Dr,  Farrell  giving  many  of  the  lectures,     Mr. 

Page  Forty 


Stone  contributed  during  the  first  half  year  with  lectures  on  educa- 
tional problems. 

The  Course  consisted  of  14  members,  including  representatives 
from  Greece,  Japan,  Honduras,  Israel,  and  6  different  States. 

The  usual  number  of  outside  lecturers  participated,  including  one 
of  our  Ophthalmologists,  Dr.  Henry  A.  Mosher,  who  gave  a  series 
of  lectures  on  the  eye  which  were  attended  by  a  considerable  number 
of  our  Staff.

Retiring  Staff  Members 

Under  the  terms  of  our  Pension  Plan  three  Staff  members  retired 
in  June.  These  were:  Miss  Claudia  A.  Potter  who  for  many  years 
had  taught  Dramatics  and  Mathematics  in  the  Upper  School.  Her 
full-length  plays  presented  before  the  public  were  an  important  fea- 
ture of  our  program  for  a  number  of  years,  being  replaced  about  a 
decade  ago  by  other  activities  which  seemed  to  offer  opportunity  to 
a  larger  number  of  pupils.  Miss  Florence  A.  Barbour  had  served  in 
many  capacities,  both  in  the  Upper  and  Lower  Schools  and  in  the 
O&ce  during  22  years  of  service.  Miss  Margaret  McKenzie  probably 
spent  more  years  at  Perkins  than  any  other  person,  entering  the 
Kindergarten  in  1891,  and  transferring  to  South  Boston  in  1897. 
She  joined  the  Perkins  Staff  as  a  telephone  operator,  and  later  as  a 
teacher  of  Handicrafts  in  the  Lower  School,  serving  in  both  of  these 
capacities  up  until  June  of  1952. 

At  the  end  of  the  year  Miss  Jean  Gray,  who  had  been  Supervisor 
of  our  Kindergarten  and  Primary  Departments  through  the  year,  left 
to  marry  Lt.  James  Edmundson  of  the  U.  S.  Navy.  As  mentioned 
elsewhere  in  this  Report,  Miss  Frances  Marshall,  who  had  been  our 
Social  Worker  for  a  number  of  years,  resigned  in  June.

After  over  forty  years  of  service,  Dr.  Reinhold  Ruelberg  retired 
as  dentist  of  the  Lower  School.  He  had  served  through  almost  the 
entire  administration  of  Dr.  Allen,  as  well  as  that  of  Dr.  Farrell. 

Also  retiring  were  Mrs.  Nellie  E.  H.  Hamil,  Housemother  of 
Tompkins,  and  Mrs.  Janet  G.  Hancock,  Housemother  of  Anagnos, 
both  of  whom  had  served  with  us  for  a  long  time. 

Because  of  family  needs  Mrs.  Marjorie  A.  Carr  left  us  at  the 
end  of  the  year.  As  organist  she  has  accompanied  our  Chorus  for 
many  years,  both  at  our  morning  Chapel  exercises  and  at  our  Carol 
and  other  Concerts.    She  was  in  charge  of  our  Girls'  Glee  Club. 

New  England  Problems 

During  the  winter  it  became  evident  that  if  our  enrollment  in- 
creased at  the  same  rate  that  it  has  during  the  last  few  years,  we 
would  soon  be  in  a  position  where  we  would  have  to  refuse  many 
applicants  for  admission.  The  Trustees  requested  the  Director  to 
give  this  matter  serious  thought.  Before  beginning  on  his  duties  in 
the  Spring  of  1951,  the  Director  had  made  a  tour  of  a  number  of 
residential  schools  for  the  blind  throughout  the  United  States,  and 
had  also  visited  a  number  of  public  school  systems  where  blind  children 
are  accepted  into  regular  classes,  or  into  special  braille  classes.  As  a 
result  of  his  observations  at  that  time,  and  after  consulting  with 
officers  of  the  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind,  in  New  York 
City,  and  with  officials  of  the  New  Jersey  State  Commission  for  the 
Blind,  he  drew  up  a  New  England  Plan  for  the  Education  of  Blind 
Youth,  a  copy  of  which  appears  as  Appendix  II  to  this  report. 

The  question  of  whether  blind  children  should  be  educated  in 
residential  schools  or  in  public  schools  has  unfortunately  been  the 
source  of  much  heated  argument  for  a  number  of  years.  The  Director 
hoped  that  on  his  travels  he  would  find  some  objective  data  on  the 
relative  success  of  different  educational  programs,  but  was  disap- 
pointed in  this  regard.  However,  he  did  find  undoubted  evidence 
that  some  visually  handicapped  children  are  being  well  educated  in 
public  schools.  He  found  that  the  services  offered  throughout  the 
nation  varied  from  good  to  bad.  The  latter  seemed  to  be  largely 
the  result  of  poor  organization  or  poorly  trained  personnel,  and  ap- 
parently did  not  represent  the  aspirations  of  the  people  in  charge. 

It  is  an  undoubted  fact  that  many  Social  Workers  and  Edu- 
cators are  strongly  opposed  to  the  placement  of  children,  whether 
handicapped  or  not,  in  Institutions  rather  than  in  their  own  homes. 

Page  Forty-two 


It  seems  inevitable  that  attempts  must  be  made  in  New  England  to 
educate  some  blind  children  in  the  public  schools,  and  it  is  the  wish 
of  our  Trustees  and  Staff  to  see  that  whenever  this  is  done  children 
are  provided  with  all  possible  auxiliary  services,  and  that  Perkins 
should  co-operate  in  any  way  possible.  We  are  sure  that  many  blind 
boys  and  girls  can  be  well  served  by  the  public  schools.  This  explains 
the  origin  of  the  New  England  Plan. 

The  Plan  has  been  distributed  widely,  not  only  in  the  United 
States  but  elsewhere,  and  the  comments  of  Educators  have  been 
invited.    On  the  whole  it  has  been  surprisingly  well  received. 

In  May,  representatives  of  all  groups  interested  in  the  education 
of  the  blind  in  New  England,  together  with  educators  from  New 
Jersey  and  New  York,  were  invited  to  discuss  the  Plan.  In  an 
all-day  session,  the  Perkins  Staff  oudined  what  we  attempt  to  accom- 
plish in  our  school  as  a  background  against  what  might  be  accomplished 
in  the  public  schools.  During  the  afternoon  various  types  of  educa- 
tion were  discussed  briefly,  and  Mr.  Robert  H.  Hallowell,  a  Trustee 
of  Perkins,  who  was  in  the  Chair,  was  asked  to  appoint  an  Advisory 
Committee  consisting  of  representatives  of  the  States  of  Massachu- 
setts, Rhode  Island,  Vermont,  New  Hampshire  and  Maine,  who 
together  with  representatives  of  Perkins  Institution,  might  consider 
further  plans. 

On  June  11a  group  representing  these  organizations  met  in  the 
Director's  office  and  authorized  him  to  draw  up  plans  for  the  tempo- 
rary financing  of  the  work  outlined  in  the  New  England  Plan.  He 
was  also  invited  to  send  questionnaires  to  the  officials  of  the  different 
States  to  determine  just  how  far  they  could  go  legally  in  co-operation 
of  the  type  envisaged  in  the  New  England  Plan.  These  question- 
naires were  sent  out  as  the  year  came  to  a  close. 

One  point  should  be  emphasized.  In  throwing  the  resources  of 
Perkins  Institution  back  of  a  program  for  educating  the  blind  in  New 
England  pubUc  schools,  we  are  not,  as  some  people  have  supposed, 
siding  with  those  who  are  strongly  opposed  to  the  residential  school. 
Undoubtedly,  the  services  offered  by  residential  schools  throughout  the 
Country  vary  just  as  markedly  as  do  the  services  offered  by  the  public 
schools;  but  the  over-all  history  of  Perkins  Institution  and  many  other 
residential  schools  demonstrate  to  our  satisfaction  that  they  have  had 
marked  success  in  educating  blind  boys  and  girls. 

The  role  of  the  residential  school  is  undoubtedly  changing.  It 
is  our  determination  to  keep  Perkins  Institution  in  the  forefront  of 
such  changes.    With  the  fine  co-operation  of  our  parents  and  with 

Page  Forty-three 


the  State  Authorities  in  the  region  we  serve,  there  is  no  reason  why 
we  should  not  be  able  to  cope  with  any  difficulties  which  may  arise 
and  continue  as  leaders  in  our  field. 

National  Organizations 

During  the  year,  the  Director  and  other  members  of  the  Staff 
participated  in  the  activities  of  a  number  of  National  organizations. 
Eighteen  Staff  members  traveled  to  Louisville  at  the  end  of  June  to 
attend  the  joint  Conventions  of  the  American  Association  of  In- 
structors of  the  Blind,  and  the  American  Association  of  Workers  for 
the  Blind.  V/hile  most  of  their  interest  was  in  the  former  group,  the 
Director  and  Librarian  participated  also  in  the  activities  of  the 
Workers.  In  spite  of  extremely  hot  weather,  the  Instructors'  Con- 
vention accomplished  far  more  work  than  usual  because  of  the  fine 
way  in  which  it  was  organized  into  discussion  groups.  All  our  Staff 
members  who  attended  were  well  satisfied  with  the  results. 

In  October,  the  Director  as  ex-officio  Trustee  attended  the 
Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Printing  House  for  the  Blind  in 
Louisville,  Kentucky.  This  annual  occasion  affords  an  opportunity 
for  many  Superintendents  of  Schools  for  the  Blind  to  come  together 
and  discuss  their  problems.  The  Director  found  this  occasion  most 
helpful. 

In  December  the  Director  and  Librarian  attended  a  two-day  con- 
ference of  the  Library  of  Congress,  where  the  whole  program  of 
Services  for  the  Blind  was  discussed.  One  of  the  recommendations 
coming  out  of  this  Conference  was  the  formation  of  an  Advisory 
Committee  to  work  with  the  Librarian  of  Congress  on  Services  for 
the  Blind.  The  Director  was  appointed  as  representative  of  printers 
of  braille  books  to  serve  on  this  Advisory  Committee  during  the  year 
1952-53. 

The  Director  also  attended  the  Annual  Conference  of  the  Inter- 
national Council  for  Exceptional  Children  in  Omaha,  Nebraska,  on 
May  3,  where  he  participated  in  a  Panel  Discussion  on  Training 
Facilities  for  Teachers  of  the  Blind. 

As  usual,  the  Staff  participated  in  the  work  of  the  Massachusetts 
Council  of  Organizations  for  the  Blind,  and  was  responsible  for  the 
program  at  the  December  Meeting,  which  discussed  the  problems 
caused  by  the  closing  of  the  Workshop  in  South  Boston.  As  usual, 
we  were  host  in  May  to  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Council  at  the 
School,  where  a  musical  program  was  provided  by  our  pupils.

International  Conference 

From  July  25  to  August  2  an  International  Conference  of  Edu- 
cators of  Blind  Youth  was  held  at  Bussum,  The  Netherlands.  Perkins 
was  represented  by  Dr.  Gabriel  Farrell,  Director  Emeritus  (who  was 
Chairman  of  the  Conference),  by  the  Director  (who  was  Secretary 
of  the  Conference) ,  and  by  Dr.  Samuel  P.  Hayes  (who  led  the  group 
discussion  on  Tests  and  Measurements  for  the  Blind).  Dr.  Farrell 
had  been  one  of  the  prime  organizers  of  this  Conference  and  had 
worked  toward  its  success  for  a  number  of  years.  It  is  noteworthy 
that  Dr.  Hayes  was  the  only  American  whose  attendance  was  re- 
quested by  name.  The  Organizing  Committee  stated  that  they  wished 
to  have  a  discussion  on  mental  measurements,  but  unless  Dr.  Hayes 
was  able  to  attend  they  preferred  not  to  have  the  matter  appear  on 
the  agenda.  The  Trustees  were  happy  to  make  arrangements  for 
Dr.  Hayes  to  attend. 

From  our  point  of  view,  one  of  the  most  interesting  features  of 
this  Convention  was  the  large  number  of  former  members  of  Perkins 
who  were  present.  Including  the  three  already  mentioned,  there  were 
twelve  men  and  women  at  the  Conference  who  had  either  taken  the  full 
Teacher  Training  Course,  or  who  had  been  here  to  study  with  us 
for  a  shorter  period.  These  were  representatives  from  Norway  (two) , 
Greece,  England,  India,  Finland,  Haiti,  The  Netherlands,  and  Egypt. 

The  Proceedings  of  the  Conference  were  recorded  on  tape,  and 
were  brought  back  to  Watertown  to  be  transcribed  into  a  printed 
Report.  The  Resolutions  of  this  Convention  were  immediately  printed 
on  our  return  to  America  and  have  been  widely  distributed. 

The  Conference  established  a  permanent  organization,  electing 
Dr.  Farrell  Honorary  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Council  and  the 
Director  an  Associate  Secretary.

Spiritual  Guidance 

As  in  the  past,  we  are  indebted  to  the  CathoHc,  Jewish  and  Protes- 
tant Guilds  for  the  Blind  in  supplying  us  with  teachers  for  our  Reli- 
gious Education  Classes  on  Thursday  afternoons,  and  for  arranging 
for  religious  Retreats  in  the  fall  and  in  the  spring.  As  usual  our 
children  have  attended  church  services  in  the  neighborhood  on  Sun- 
days and  on  religious  festivals. 

Conclusion  ^ 

During  the  year  we  lost  through  death  the  services  of  Colin  Flagg, 
who  had  been  a  Janitor  with  us  for  a  considerable  period  of  time,  and 
Mary  Foley  who,  as  Cook  at  Potter  Cottage  and  elsewhere,  had  pro- 
vided us  with  well  prepared  food  for  almost  two  decades. 

The  summer  vacation  at  Perkins  was  not  twenty-four  hours  old 
when  tragedy  struck  our  student  body.  John  Hawthorne,  Jr.,  of 
Millers  Falls,  Massachusetts,  drowned  while  swimming  in  a  pond  near 
his  home.  John  would  have  been  a  member  of  the  1953  graduating 
class,  and  was  a  fine  athlete,  being  the  champion  in  his  weight  class 
in  the  MetropoUtan  Wrestling  Tournament  in  1952. 

In  the  interest  of  economy  we  are  not  Hsting  the  names  of  our 
many  friends  who  have  made  gifts  of  money,  tickets,  services,  etc., 
including  the  2,169  people  who  contributed  ^25,278  to  our  Children 
of  the  Silent  Night.  These  gifts  are,  however,  greatly  appreciated. 
They  are  a  vital  contribution  to  our  program. 

The  Director  wishes  to  express  appreciation  for  the  co-operation 
he  has  received  from  all  members  of  the  Staff  during  his  first  year. 
They  have  accepted  such  changes  as  he  has  found  it  necessary  to  make 
with  good  will  and  understanding. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Edward  J.  Waterhouse

THE  INDUSTRIAL  ARTS  PROGRAM  AT  PERKINS 

7.    A  program  for  the  Elementary  school  level. 

A.  A  variety  of  activities  for  a  variety  of  student  abilities. 

1,    Bead  work,  leather,  knitting,  sewing,  woodwork- 
ing, etc. 

B.  Development  of  finger  and  hand  co-ordination. 

C.  Familiarization  with  materials  about  them. 

77.    A  program  for  the  Junior  and  Senior  High  school. 

A.  All  are  required  to  participate  in  the  program  in  varying 
degrees. 

1.  Students  exploring  the  materials,  and  processes  of 
industry.

Industrial  Arts  —  (Cont'd) 

Objectives: 

1.  A  production  objective: 

a.  Develop  a  better  use  of  the  hands,  finger  ma- 
nipulation, muscle  co-ordination,  etc.  The 
hands  to  the  blind  are  an  important  means  of 
expression  and  exploration. 

b.  To  help  students  become  aware  of  their  needs, 
interests,  and  abilities  in  fields  of  manual  and 
industrial  work. 

c.  Learning  the  spirit  and  discipline  of  work 
which  should  develop  an  interest  in  tools  and  a 
logical  sequence  in  their  use.  Here  the  work 
experience  is  real  and  there  is  a  need  for  a 
definite  plan. 

d.  To  experience  individual  craftsmanship  and 
"mass  production,"  giving  the  student  an  un- 
derstanding of  industrial  methods. 

e.  An  exploration  of  information  about  indus- 
trial work  and  trades. 

f.  The  development  of  sound  attitudes  toward 
work  and  acceptable  work  habits. 

g.  The  development  of  "carry-over  skills"  that 
may  be  applied  to  a  number  of  industrial  en- 
deavors. This  aids  the  student  in  becoming 
informed  about  industries  and  industrial  pro- 
cedures. 

2.  Consumption  objective: 

a.  Developing  an  interest  in  the  products  of  in- 
dustry. Everything  about  us  is  the  result  of 
industry. 

b.  As  a  consumer  we  must  acquire  interests, 
tastes,  standards,  knowledge,  techniques,  and 
habits  which  will  help  us  choose  industrial 
products  more  intelligently. 

c.  To  make  the  consumer  more  proficient  in  the 
selection,  use,  maintenance,  repair  and  dis- 
posal of  goods.

3.    A  recreation  objective: 

a.  Helping  the  student  use  leisure  time  intelli- 
gently. 

b.  Promoting  exploratory  experiences  which  will

c.  An  exploration  of  areas  in  which  they  may  be 
currently  interested. 

d.  Acquiring   a   variety   of   satisfying   and    ab- 
sorbing leisure  pursuits. 

D.  Flexibility  of  a  program. 

1.    Does  the  program  consider  every  boy's  and  girl's 
needs? 

E.  Reluctance  of  public  schools  to  accept  blind  students  in 
their  shops.

PERKINS  TEACHER  TRAINING  PROGRAM 

The  Education  of  the  Blind 

These  courses  are  conducted  by  the  Graduate  School  of  Educa- 
tion, Harvard  University,  with  the  co-operation  of  the  Massachusetts 
Department  of  Education,  Division  of  the  Blind,  and  of  Perkins 
Institution  and  Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind.  The  original 
course,  founded  by  the  late  Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen,  former  Director  of 
Perkins  Institution,  was  given  as  an  extension  course  in  the  academic 
years  1920-1925,  inclusive,  and  both  courses  are  now  offered  as 
regular  courses  in  the  Graduate  School  of  Education. 

These  courses  are  announced  in  the  catalogue  of  the  Graduate 
School  of  Education  as  Education  of  the  Blind  I  (Principles  and  Prob- 
lems) and  Education  of  the  Blind  21  (Special  Methods  and  Appren- 
ticeship) .  For  students  who  are  qualified  to  do  graduate  work,  they 
may  be  counted  toward  the  degree  of  Master  of  Education,  (Ed.M.) 
Course  I  will  cover  the  following  topics,  and  possibly  others,  by 
lectures  and  reading: 

The  blind  of  the  past  and  of  today;  types  of  blindness; 
literature  on  the  general  subject;  what  the  public  should  know 
about  handicapped  people;  their  recreations,  pastimes,  and 
diversions;  the  social  and  industrial  status  of  the  blind;  pri- 
vate and  public  provision  for  them;  the  history  of  their  edu- 
cation and  of  their  employment;  home  teaching  of  the  adult; 
the  blind  child — before  school  age;  in  residential  schools;  in 
public  day  schools;  and  his  socialization  under  those  situa- 
tions; school  curricula,  also  means  and  methods  of  instruc- 
tion; the  evolution  of  types  for  finger-reading;  libraries  of 
embossed  books;  the  human  eye  and  the  causes  of  blindness 
and  low  vision;  progress  in  preventing  blindness;  the  move- 
ment for  the  separate  teaching  of  children  having  low  vision; 
borderline  pupils;  the  deaf-blind;  psychology  of  blindness  and 
the  blind.

Teacher  Training  —  (Cont'd) 

E.  Courses  in  neighboring  universities  while  hving  at  Per- 
kins—Educational psychology,  child  psychology,  adoles- 
cent psychology,  history  of  education,  principles  of  edu- 
cation, educational  methods.  Education  of  exceptional 
children  especially  recommended. 

7/7.   History: 

Since  its  establishment  in  1921,  the  course  has  served  to 
raise  the  level  of  efficiency  of  teachers  already  employed,  pre- 
pared many  new  teachers  to  fill  the  need  for  replacement,  and  sent 
out  many  good  teachers  to  serve  in  many  American  schools, 
besides  training  in  American  methods  teachers  from  all  over 
the  world. 

We  feel  that  no  residential  school  for  the  blind  in  America 
has  a  better  trained  or  more  efficient  staff. 

Many  new  teachers  must  be  interested  in  our  work,  and 
trained  for  it,  to  provide  for  the  great  increase  in  blind  children 
seeking  an  education. 


May,  1952

THE  NEW  ENGLAND  PLAN  FOR  THE 
EDUCATION  OF  BLIND  YOUTH 

Acting  on  the  premise  that  Perkins  Institution  will  not  be  able  to 
accommodate  all  the  children  seeking  admission  by  September,  1953, 
or  September,  1954,  at  the  latest,  we  propose  to  submit  to  the  appro- 
priate State  Departments  of  Massachusetts,  Vermont,  New  Hamp- 
shire,  Maine,  and  Rhode   Island  the   following  tentative  proposals: 

1.  The  formation  of  a  Five-State  New  England  Council  for  the 
Education  of  the  Blind  with  representatives  from  Perkins 
Institution  and  the  appropriate  State  Departments  of  Edu- 
cation or  Public  Welfare. 

2.  The  establishment  of  Braille  Classes  in  certain  urban  areas, 
and  placement  of  a  number  of  individual  blind  pupils  in  the 
public  schools. 

Similar  programs  are  functioning  with  varying  degrees  of  suc- 
cess in  widespread  parts  of  the  United  States.  Success  is  dependent 
largely  on  the  calibre  and  experience  of  the  staff.  It  also  depends  on 
certain  auxiliary  services;  such  as, 

a.  Provision  of  braille  material  and  special  equipment. 

b.  Reader  service. 

c.  Guide  service  and/or  transportation  facilities. 

d.  An  adequate  program  of  tests;  psychological,  achievement 
and  aptitude,  to  guarantee  satisfactory  teaching  standards. 

e.  An  effective  social  program,  either  through  the  extra  cur- 
ricular  activities  of  the  school,  through  community  organi- 
zations; such  as.  Girl  or  Boy  Scouts,  the  ^''Y's/'  4-H,  etc., 
or  through  the  home  itself. 

f.  Supplementary  schooling  in  music,  manual  training,  etc., 
together  with  tutoring  in  braille  and  early  training  with 
the  typewriter. 

g.  Particular  attention  to  physical  education,  posture,  etc. 

Page  Fifty-nine 


3.    Perkins  will  offer  its  facilities  to: 

a.  Train  teachers  selected  by  the  local  communities  for  braille 
classes,  either  in  the  regular  teacher-training  program  or 
in  short  summer  sessions. 

b.  Supply  supervisors  when  needed  to  maintain  uniform 
standards  and  practices  throughout  the  area. 

c.  Provide  braille  material  and  equipment  and  co-ordinate 
the  activities  of  transcribing  and  recording  groups  supply- 
ing the  educational  needs  of  the  region. 

d.  Carry  on  or  supervise  the  testing  programs. 

e.  Assist,  if  needed,  in  the  formation  of  volunteer  reader 
groups,  and  the  solution  of  guide  and  transportation  prob- 
lems. 

f .  Assist,  if  needed,  in  selling  the  home  or  community  on  the 
importance  of  normal  social  and  athletic  activities  for 
blind  boys  and  girls  and  their  complete  acceptance  by  their 
contemporaries  and  elders. 

g.  Arrange  for  instruction  in  braille,  and,  if  necessary,  pro- 
vide for  extra  training  in  music,  manual  arts,  typing,  etc. 

h.  Co-operate  with  the  State  Departments  in  such  home- 
visiting  services  as  may  seem  desirable. 
All  these  services  to  be  rendered  uniformly  throughout  the  re- 
gion under  the  supervision  of  the  New  England  Council. 

4.  Perkins  will  establish  uniform  charges  for  these  services  on 
an  actual  cost  basis. 

5.  Perkins  will  co-operate  with  the  five  state  departments  in 
determining  the  most  suitable  program  for  an  individual 
child,  either  in  the  residential  school  or  elsewhere,  transfer- 
ring him  from  one  type  of  schooling  to  another  as  circum- 
stances may  direct. 

Although  the  proposed  program  is  made  advisable  at  this  par- 
ticular time  by  the  increased  number  of  blind  pupils  in  the  region,  it 
should  be  made  clear  that  it  is  our  belief  at  Perkins  that  facilities 
such  as  those  outlined  above  should  be  established  as  soon  as  trained 
personnel  are  available,  regardless  of  increases  in  our  enrollment. 

Page  Sixty 


It  is  our  philosophy  that  the  educational  program  should  be  fitted 
to  the  child,  and  not  the  child  to  the  program.  For  many  (and  pos- 
sibly for  all  blind  children  at  some  time  in  their  school  careers)  the 
residential  school  is  the  best  solution.  In  addition  to  such  advantages 
as  the  special  courses  and  trained  personnel,  there  are  opportunities 
for  wide-spread  competition  on  an  equal  footing,  and  an  escape  during 
difficult  periods  of  growth  from  being  a  conspicuously  unique  member 
of  the  group.  For  many,  the  security  of  home,  family,  and  neighbors 
is  more  important,  and  these  should  have  an  opportunity  to  be  edu- 
cated in  the  public  schools. 

These  proposals  are  planned  specifically  to  establish  conditions 
under  which  the  wisest  possible  choice  of  a  program  may  be  made  for 
each  child.  Only  by  the  fullest  knowledge  of  many  factors  can  an 
intelligent  choice  be  made.     These  factors  include: 

a.  An  understanding  of  the  child's  physique,  mentality,  per- 
sonality, emotional  stability,  interests,  hopes  and  fears. 

b.  A  knowledge  of  the  home  and  family;  economic,  moral, 
social,  educational,  religious,  and  geographic. 

c.  Information  about  the  resources  of  the  community  for 
employment,  social  and  athletic  experience,  etc. 

d.  Intimate  knowledge  of  the  local  school  facilities  with  spe- 
cial tutoring. 

e.  Intimate  knowledge  of  the  resources  of  Perkins  to  meet 
the  particular  needs  of  the  child  at  any  stage  of  his  growth. 

All  these  factors  are  changing,  some  of  them  very  fast  and  very 
often.  While  many  workers  can  be  engaged  in  acquiring  this  infor- 
mation, unless  it  is  the  responsibility  of  a  single  agency  to  correlate  it, 
interpret  it  to  the  best  of  its  ability  and  act  upon  it,  the  data  are  of 
small  value.  We  believe  that  our  facilities  make  us  the  logical  agency 
for  this  co-ordinating  work.  It  is  expected  that  this  plan  will  start 
on  a  small  scale  and  grow  with  the  need,  with  lack  of  trained  personnel 
the  most  serious  hindrance.

THE  STUDENTS 

It  is  not,  of  course,  possible  to  give  a  detailed  account  of  all  of 
our  children.  No  two  of  them  are  alike,  and  it  is  one  of  our  major 
problems  to  see  that  they  receive  the  individual  care  best  suited  to 
them.  There  is  always  danger  that  the  individual  will  become  for- 
gotten in  the  group,  and  our  Faculty  exercise  much  care  in  preventing 
this  from  happening.  Our  responsibility,  of  course,  is  to  see  that 
these  children  develop  in  the  best  possible  way.  Consequently,  it  is 
when  they  come  to  leave  us  that  we  perhaps  observe  them  with  the 
greatest  of  interest.  This  year  there  were  ten  members  in  the  gradu- 
ating class,  and  we  are  reproducing  some  extracts  from  their  School 
Histories  which  appeared  in  the  1952  edition  of  Retrospect,  the 
student  annual.  They  graduated  June  19  and  Mr.  M.  Robert  Barnett, 
Executive  Director  of  the  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind,  gave 
the  Commencement  Address. 
Dorothy  Josephine  Barboza 
Taunton,  Massachusetts 

Dorothy  came  to  Perkins  after  four  years  in  public  school,  two  of  them 
in  sight  saving  class.  Her  activities  have  been  varied.  She  is  a  member 
of  the  Glee  Club,  a  piano  student  and  has  played  in  several  recitals.  She 
is  president  of  the  Girls'  Student  Council  and  has  been  president  for  two 
years  of  the  Athletic  Association.  She  has  been  active  in  track.  She 
has  represented  Perkins  at  the  annual  Play  Day.  Last  winter  she  won 
recognition  for  achievement  in  extempore  speaking  in  the  Dale  Carnegie 
class.  For  two  years  Dorothy  has  modeled  clothes  of  her  own  making 
at  the  Fashion  Show.  She  is  interested  in  switchboard  operation  and, 
with  three  years'  experience  at  Perkins,  hopes  to  find  work  of  that  type. 

Vernon  I.  G.  Boyd 

Lynn,  Massachusetts 

Vernon  has  devoted  much  time  and  effort  to  the  study  of  music,  especially 
voice.  He  has  done  a  great  deal  of  solo  work  the  last  few  years  in  Chapel 
and  with  the  Glee  Club  on  its  various  engagements.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Boys'  Band.  He  has  participated  in  all  sports  and  at  the  1951  E.  A. 
A.  B.  Wrestling  Tournament  he  won  the  138-pound  championship. 
During  his  senior  year  he  has  been  secretary  of  the  Boys'  Student  Council. 
For  two  years  he  has  been  a  member  of  the  P.  A.  A.  During  its  first 
year  he  was  social  editor  of  Retrospect  and  the  second  year  music  editor. 
For  two  summers  he  had  the  experience  of  selling  the  Boston  Record. 
With  his  Perkins  diploma  Vernon  also  receives  a  Pianoforte  Tuning 
Certificate.  For  the  future  he  would  like  to  go  to  some  mid-western 
college  for  a  change  of  scene  to  develop  his  writing.  Armed  with  his 
tuning  certificate,  his  music  and  his  determination,  he  should  be  able  to 
realize  his  dream. 
(Vernon  entered  Ottawa  College,  Ottawa,  Kansas,  in  September,  1952.)

Gloria  E.  Charbonneau 

Lowell,  Massachusetts 

Gloria  joined  this  class  in  September,  1947,  after  she  had  completed 
eight  grades  in  a  Lowell  parochial  school.  Her  life  at  Perkins  has  been 
very  busy,  much  of  it  in  service  for  others.  She  is  a  member  of  the 
Glee  Club  and  did  some  small  solos  in  the  Gilbert  and  Sullivan  pro- 
duction of  195  L  She  belongs  to  the  Athletic  Association.  She  is  espe- 
cially interested  in  certain  branches  of  manual  training — knitting,  weav- 
ing and  ceramics  which  she  demonstrated  at  the  Open  House  in  1952. 
Gloria  is  social  editor  for  the  current  Retrospect.  At  Play  Day  in  Phila- 
delphia, October,  1952,  she  was  a  Perkins  delegate.  Her  daily  trips 
around  the  offices  with  wares  from  the  girls'  store — always  dependable 
and  gracious — have  been  appreciated  by  the  staff.  During  her  senior  year 
she  assisted  the  May  Cottage  house  mother  certain  hours  each  week. 
Gloria  has  worked  on  switchboard  for  three  years  and  is  interested  in 
that  vocation  but  she  is  an  ambitious  girl  and,  above  all,  wants  to  work, 
even  if  not  at  once  in  her  chosen  field.

Wakefield,  Massachusetts 

Joe  is  the  newest  member  of  the  class.  He  came  to  Perkins  in  January, 
1951,  after  completing  two  years  in  the  Somerville  High  School.  He 
entered  at  once  into  the  life  of  the  school.  Shortly  after  coming  here, 
he  participated  in  the  annual  Amateur  Show.  He  has  been  active  in 
football,  baseball  and  track,  and  is  a  member  of  the  P.  A.  A.  In  the 
winter  of  1952  he  won  recognition  in  the  Dale  Carnegie  class  for  his 
achievement  in  extempore  speaking.  Joe  is  interested  in  stand  operation 
and  his  striking  success  as  a  salesman  on  February  22  seems  to  indicate 
that  his  future  is  assured. 

Richard  Peter  Kamis 

Mattapan,  Massachusetts 

In  September,  1942,  Dick  started  his  Perkins  career  in  the  fourth  grade 
after  attending  sight  saving  class.  He  is  a  leader.  He  has  been  a 
member  of  the  Boys'  Student  Council  for  two  years  and  its  president  his 
senior  year.  He  is  active  in  all  sports.  He  has  been  captain  of  the 
Wrestling  Team  and  in  the  1952  E.  A.  A.  B.  Tournament  he  was 
champion  in  the  heavyweight  class.  He  is  president  of  the  P.  A.  A. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Glee  Club.  For  the  two  years  of  its  existence  he 
has  written  for  Retrospect.  In  the  Dale  Carnegie  class  of  1952  he  won 
recognition  for  achievement  in  extempore  speaking.  During  the  summer 
of  1952  he  was  a  counselor  in  a  boys'"  camp,  a  position  which  he  filled  most 
successfully.  Dick  plans  on  college  to  prepare  himself  to  be  a  physical 
education  instructor — a  work  for  which  he  is  eminently  fitted  by  his 
versatility  in  sports  and  by  his  personality. 
(Dick  entered  Springfield  College  in  September,  1952.) 

Galine  Karantbeiwel 

Buenos  Aires,  Argentina 

Galine  came  to  Perkins  in  October,  1949.  Her  previous  education  had 
been  by  private  instruction  except  for  one  year  in  a  non-resident  school 
for  the  blind  in  Buenos  Aires.  Her  chief  interests  are  music  and  lan- 
guages, with  several  of  which  she  is  conversant.  She  has  played  and 
sung  at  recitals  and  is  a  member  of  the  Glee  Club.  She  has  taken  part 
in  an  operetta  and  all  three  Christmas  concerts,  no  small  accomplish- 
ment in  view  of  the  fact  that  English  is  not  her  native  tongue.  For  fun 
she  likes  dancing.  After  graduation  Galine  plans  to  stay  on  in  this 
country  and  hopes  to  study  at  the  Juilliard  School  in  New  York.  Even- 
tually she  would  like  to  teach  music  and  languages. 

Lawrence  John  Keefe 

Woonsocket,  Rhode  Island 

Lawrence  came  to  Perkins  in  1943  after  a  short  time  in  public  school, 
and  he  has  made  a  very  definite  place  for  himself  at  Perkins.  His 
activities  have  for  the  most  part  been  in  the  literary  and  music  depart- 
ments.    They  include  singing  with  the  Glee  Club  and  participating  in 

Page  Sixty-four 


operettas  and  pop  concerts.  He  plays  the  trumpet  and  performs  with  the 
group  that  gives  so  much  pleasure  to  everyone  at  Christmastide.  He  is 
a  member  of  the  P.  A.  A.  Lawrence  was  a  regular  contributor  to  the 
Goat  and  has  continued  with  Retrospect.  In  the  1952  Dale  Carnegie 
class  he  won  recognition  for  achievement  in  extempore  speaking.  During 
the  winter  term  he  gave  a  fine  Chapel  talk  based  on  his  senior  essay, 
"Herbert  Hoover."  Lawrence  is  interested  in  insurance  as  a  vocation 
and  we  wish  him  all  success  in  his  chosen  field. 


Arthur  Pereira 

New  Bedford,  Massachusetts 

How  often  we  have  been  refreshed  by  Arthur's  music  as  he  sang  or  played. 
His  dancing  in  the  operettas  is  something  to  remember.  But  singing  and 
saxophone  playing  are  only  two  of  his  talents,  and  he  has  been  busy  in 
other  spheres  of  action.  He  has  been  on  the  track  team,  wrestled  for 
five  years,  played  baseball  and  football  and  taken  swimming.  Arthur  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Boys'  Student  Council  for  two  years,  secretary 
of  the  P.  A.  A.  his  senior  year.  In  the  Dale  Carnegie  course  he  won 
recognition  for  achievement  in  extempore  speaking.  At  graduation 
Arthur  will  receive  a  Pianoforte  Tuning  Certificate  as  well  as  his 
diploma.  He  hopes  to  build  a  future  with  his  music  and  his  training 
in  the  tuning  and  servicing  of  pianos.  Having  played  with  a  group  of 
entertainers  one  summer,  he  is  not  without  experience.  Arthur  has 
talents  that  could  bring  a  great  deal  of  pleasure  to  others. 


Stephen  J.  Rogers,  Jr. 

Medford,  Massachusetts 

Stephen's  entire  education  up  to  this  point  has  been  received  at  Perkins. 
His  major  interests  are  literary  and  he  has  read  the  classics  and  languages 
rather  widely.  An  able  Chapel  talk  during  his  senior  year,  "The  Uni- 
versality of  the  Iliad,"  was  evolved  from  the  study  of  one  of  his  favorite 
subjects.  He  has  been  active  in  all  sports  and  has  wrestled  for  two  years 
in  the  E.  A.  A.  B.  Tournament.  He  has  served  a  year  on  the  Boys' 
Student  Council  and  for  two  years  has  belonged  to  the  P.  A.  A.  He 
plays  several  musical  instruments,  especially  the  piano,  and  is  a  member 
of  the  large  group  whose  music  gives  so  much  pleasure  in  the  Christmas 
season.  He  belongs  to  the  Glee  Club.  Stephen  was  a  Goat  contributor 
and  has  been  editor-in-chief  of  Retrospect  since  its  inception.  This  ex- 
perience should  stand  him  in  good  stead  as  he  goes  on  to  higher  education. 
Stephen  plans  on  college  with  graduate  work  to  prepare  him  for  uni- 
versity teaching. 
(Stephen  entered  Notre  Dame  University  in  September,  1952.)

Anton  Nicholas  Sardo 

Palmer,  Massachusetts 

Anton  had  attended  pubUc  school  for  three  years  before  coming  to 
Perkins.  He  has  been  a  shining  example  of  a  man  with  a  purpose,  and 
with  several  strings  to  his  bow.  His  sports  record  includes  four  years  of 
wrestling  with  three  championships;  also  baseball,  football  and  track. 
He  is  vice-president  of  the  P.  A.  A.  and  a  member  of  the  Boys'  Student 
Council  in  his  senior  year.  His  singing  and  dancing  in  the  annual  operet- 
tas has  been  very  good.  He  knows  several  instruments  and  plays  in  the 
band.  For  achievement  as  an  extempore  speaker  he  won  recognition  in 
the  1952  Dale  Carnegie  class.  Anton  has  served  very  ably  for  two  years 
as  circulation  manager  of  Retrospect  for  which  he  also  does  some  writing. 
He  has  studied  massage.  With  his  Perkins  diploma  he  receives  a  Piano- 
forte Tuning  Certificate.  In  the  future  he  would  Uke  to  enter  the  field 
of  popular  music  as  a  singer.  It  seems  highly  possible  that  this  hope  may 
be  realized  since  he  has  so  well  prepared  himself  with  means  to  make  a 
living.    Anton  understands  that  he  must  work  hard  and  he  faces  the  task 

gladly. 

(Anton  entered  the  Nylin  School  of  Massage  in  September,  1952.)

SOME  ITEMS  FROM  THE  CALENDAR  1951  -  52 

It  is  impossible  to  record  all  the  interesting  happenings  of  the 
year.  Scarcely  a  day  passes  but  there  is  an  expedition  to  a  museum,  a 
farm  or  a  place  of  historic  interest,  or  there  is  a  square  dance,  a  per- 
formance of  the  Glee  Club,  a  concert,  or  a  party  either  on  the  campus 
or  elsewhere.  Some  hint  of  the  richness  of  our  program  may  be  found 
in  the  items  listed  below. 

September  1951.  Housemothers  returned  on  September  4.  On  Septem- 
ber 5,  the  newly  appointed  Advisory  Policy  Committee  met  for  the  first  time. 
New  Staff  members  reported  to  School  on  Sunday,  September  9,  in  time 
for  an  evening  briefing,  followed  by  a  short  reception  at  the  Director's  house. 
September  10.  All  the  Staff  were  back  for  their  annual  meeting  in  Chapel. 
Pupils  returned  on  September  11  and  School  began  on  the  12th. 

October  1951.  October  1,  the  Upper  School  Students  elected  members

WORKSHOP  FOR  ADULTS 
Annual  Report  for  Fiscal  Year  1951-52 

This  has  been  an  eventful  year  at  the  Workshop  but  not  a  very 
happy  one.  On  October  24,  1951,  our  Trustees  accepted  the  recom- 
mendation of  a  subcommittee  that  the  Workshop  should  be  closed 
the  following  June.  On  November  4,  1951,  Charles  Black  died,  and 
on  January  22,  1952,  our  manager,  Donald  Remick,  died. 

Charles  Black  was  a  Perkins  graduate  who  had  just  completed 
his  45th  year  as  an  employee  at  the  Workshop,  much  of  that  time 
serving  as  foreman  and  worker  in  the  Chair  Caning  Department. 

Mr.  Remick  had  only  been  an  employee  of  the  Workshop  since 
July,  1949,  but  he  had  been  our  friend  for  many  years,  both  as  a 
competitor  and  supplier.  While  the  future  of  the  Shop  was  in  the 
balance  he  worked  hard  to  find  some  way  to  keep  it  open  even  though 
he  understood  clearly  why  Perkins  could  not  continue  to  operate  it. 

The  decision  of  the  Trustees  to  close  the  Shop  was  based  upon 
a  number  of  factors  including  these  three.  First,  such  a  Shop  cannot 
be  run  without  a  subsidy.  Second,  price  competition  on  mattresses 
and  mattress  renovating  was  keeping  our  rates  of  pay  to  mattress 
workers  lower  than  was  fair  under  present  living  costs.  This  situation 
discouraged  additional  blind  people  from  seeking  employment  in  the 
Shop,  and  if  we  had  endeavored  to  increase  rates  of  pay,  the  usual 
Workshop  deficits  would  have  been  increased  far  beyond  their  present 
embarrassing  proportion.  Third,  the  State  operates  workshops  offer- 
ing compensation  which  we  could  not  afford  to  match. 

Closing  a  business  is  an  entirely  different  proposition  from  keep- 
ing one  going  and  it  was  a  new  experience  for  all  of  us.  Our  main 
concern  was  to  close  down  gradually  enough  so  that  we  would  be  sure 
to  accommodate  all  of  our  customers  with  current  requirements  and 
keep  all  of  our  workers  employed  right  up  to  the  end.  We  accom- 
plished this,  thanks  to  the  wonderful  spirit  and  effort  of  all  the 
Shop  personnel,  blind  and  sighted  alike,  and  to  the  careful  direction 
and  confident  encouragement  of  Miss  Emily  Ramsay  on  whose 
shoulders  the  management  of  the  Shop  fell  after  Mr.  Remick's  death. 
The  usual  statistical  report  analyzing  our  business  volume  is  not 
being  presented  this  year  because  it  would  not  have  any  significance. 
We  were  operating  for  only  ten  months  and  the  influences  upon  our 
activities  were  far  from  normal.  The  operating  statement  which  is 
included  at  the  rear  of  this  book  is  self-explanatory.  Statistics  of  a 
different  sort,  however,  are  of  interest.    During  this  last  year  of  the 

Page  Eighty 


Workshop  existence  19  blind  people  were  employed,  16  men  and  3 
women,  all  in  production.  There  were  8  sighted  people,  3  men  and 
5  women,  of  whom  five  were  in  production  and  three  in  the  office. 
Of  the  19  blind  persons  7  had  been  employees  more  than  25  years. 
These  had  terms  of  service  actually  covering  27,  34,  36,  36,  37,  39 
and  42  years.  Seven  blind  persons  had  been  employed  between  10 
and  25  years,  and  five  under  10  years.  As  of  July  1  two  were  over 
65  years  of  age  and  immediately  eligible  for  Social  Security.  Four 
were  between  the  ages  of  60  and  65,  six  between  50  and  60  years 
and  seven  under  50.  As  this  report  is  being  written,  eight  of  our 
former  blind  workers  have  already  found  new  employment,  six  at 
the  Massachusetts  Division  Broom  Shop  in  Cambridge,  one  at  the 
National  Braille  Press  and  one  at  the  Howe  Memorial  Press. 

There  will  only  be  one  more  Workshop  report,  to  record  the 
sale  of  real  estate,  equipment  and  material.  Probably  it  will  only  be 
a  dollars  and  cents  report.  The  personality  of  the  Workshop  disap- 
peared with  the  leaving  of  the  people  whose  skills  and  effort  have 
made  it  a  well  known  Boston  institution.

REPORT  OF  THE  BURSAR 
For  The  Fiscal  Year  1951-52 

From  the  standpoint  of  control  this  year  seems  to  have  been  a 
good  one  because  we  have  seemed  to  be  able  to  control  everything 
except  inflation.  In  September  the  Trustees  approved  an  operating 
budget  of  ^610,725.00,  which  was  6.1%  above  the  actual  operating 
expenses  of  the  preceding  year.  The  increase  was  spread  generally 
throughout  the  budget,  more  being  added  through  nominal  salary 
increases  and  staff  changes  than  by  higher  expenses. 

Whereas  our  budgets  usually  carry  through  the  year  as  approved, 
it  was  necessary  to  bring  before  the  executive  committee,  for  further 
approval,  requests  for  new  equipment  and  salary  changes  that  could 
not  wait  for  the  next  fiscal  year.  In  January,  our  Maintenance 
Departments  asked  for  a  review  of  their  job  classifications  and  base 
salaries.  A  thorough  survey  was  made  and,  as  a  result,  increases 
were  granted  to  the  Buildings  and  Grounds  Departments,  Janitors, 
Chauffeur,  Watchmen  and  Storeroom  and  the  budget  amended  ac- 
cordingly.   Finally,  in  May  it  was  decided  to  establish  the  depreciation 

Page  Eighty-one 


charge  at  ^36,000.00  per  year  instead  of  ^24,000.00  as  previously  and 
this  change  was  voted,  retroactive  to  September  first.  The  resulting 
revised  budget  amounted  to  ^628,982.00  or  93%  over  the  actual 
expenses  of  the  preceding  year. 

The  final  tally  of  operating  expenses  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year 
totalled  ^634,775.50.  We  had  overspent  our  revised  budget  almost 
1%.  The  Workshop  had  a  deficit  of  ^12,672.52,  unusually  large  due 
to  the  exigencies  of  closing.  (See  separate  report  on  Workshop  for 
Adults.)  Otherwise,  total  operating  expenses  were  less  than  the 
corresponding  budget.  The  cost  of  living  adjustment  was  budgeted 
at  80%  for  non-resident  maintenance  and  office  personnel.  The 
Bureau  of  Labor  Statistics  Index,  which  we  follow,  indicated  an  actual 
adjustment  of  17%  in  September.  It  increased  gradually  to  81%  in 
March  then  dropped  to  79%  and  was  back  to  80%  in  August.  Our 
estimate  proved  a  good  one  this  year. 

Food  costs  kept  rising  and  exceeded  the  budget  by  a  small  amount. 
Household  expenses  were  pushed  over  the  budget  in  the  process  of 
accommodating  the  increase  in  student  population,  the  accompanying 
transfers  in  cottage  families  and  the  opening  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Cot- 
tage in  the  former  Director's  residence.  Buildings  expenses  went  over, 
too,  through  uncertainties  in  estimating  the  kinds  and  amounts  of 
materials  to  be  used  in  our  special  summer  carpentering  and  painting 

projects. 

Among  the  extra  budgetary  expenses.  Special  Maintenance  and 
Repair,  or  Summer  Projects  took  the  lead.  This  has  been  the  third 
summer  of  extensive  work  under  the  Macomber  Report  and  I  am 
happy  to  say  that  it  is  the  final  big  one  for  some  time. 

In  all  ^110,809.00  was  appropriated  to  cover  the  cost  of  our 

large  and  small  Summer  Projects.     As  of  August  31st,  when  the 

books  were  closed,  ^50,907.55  of  this  has  been  spent.     Several 

^  projects  previously  approved  were  still  active  in  a  diminishing 

,{1|.  way  during  the  year.    The  Cottage  Conversion  Project  launched 

'^%  in  1951  is  still  in  progress  with  most  of  the  work  during  the 

past  year  going  into  the  Deaf-Blind  Cottage. 

During  the  year  there  were  a  number  of  interesting  develop- 
ments at  Perkins  affecting  the  business  affairs  of  the  Institution. 
Outstanding  among  these  was  a  new  salary  plan  worked  out  by 
Mr.  Waterhouse  for  teachers.  Teaching  salaries  have  long  been 
much  too  low  at  Perkins  as  compared  with  other  schools  for  the 
blind  and  teaching  salaries  in  general,  and 
this  situation  was  one  to  which  he  gave  early 


■  ,* "'"  ■ 
III 


attention.  Plan  X,  which  has  been  approved  by  the  Trustees,  estab- 
Ushes  a  salary  range  which  is  comparable  to  local  teaching  salaries 
and  to  rates  paid  in  other  residential  schools  for  the  blind.  Office  and 
Library  positions  were  also  studied  and  classified  acording  to  duties 
and  levels  of  responsibility,  with  salary  ranges  set  comparable  to 
those  being  paid  in  other  local  institutions  and  industry.  In  all  cases, 
the  same  rate  of  pay  applies  whether  the  employee  lives  in  or  out. 
A  person  who  lives  in  does  so  for  our  convenience  and  is  expected 
to  give  some  of  his  free  time  and  interest  to  the  daily  life  of  the 
school. 

It  is  our  intention  to  see  that  Plan  X  is  in  full  effect  for  the 
fiscal  year  beginning  September  1,  1954.  In  the  meantime,  the  bud- 
gets becoming  effective  September  1,  1952  and  1953  will  each  add 
part  of  the  increase.  Since  our  income  from  endowments  will  not 
cover  the  cost  of  Plan  X  and  since  our  tuition  is  and  has  been  much 
lower  than  that  charged  by  other  boarding  schools,  for  both  blind 
and  other  pupils,  an  increase  in  tuition  is  necessary. 

In  December  we  received  a  ruling  from  the  Commissioner  of 
Internal  Revenue  at  Washington  to  the  effect  that  the  Value  of 
Maintenance  received  by  our  resident  employees  is  not  subject  to 
income  taxes.  The  ruling  was  based  on  the  opinion  that  it  is  neces- 
sary for  most  Perkins'  staff  members  to  live  in,  and  it  was  issued 
with  the  understanding  that  our  retirement  plan  would  not  consider 
the  Value  of  Maintenance  as  earnings.  Even  though  this  meant 
amending  our  retirement  plan  it  was  accepted  with  much  thankfulness 
by  all  concerned. 

The  salary  increases  for  household  staff  enabled  us  to  attract 
more  desirable  women,  or  women  with  more  experience,  but  it  did  not 
reduce  our  turnover.  Out  of  63  positions  including  housemothers, 
cooks,  maids  and  laundresses  we  had  a  turnover  of  34  during  the 
school  year.  This  leaves  a  lot  of  room  for  improvement  for  which 
we  believe  the  best  answer  is  still  higher  pay.  Since  our  salary  levels 
are  still  far  below  those  paid  to  women  for  performing  similar  work 
in  private  homes,  we  are  recommending  another  increase  for  this 
group  in  the  1952-53  budget. 

In  September  we  started  requiring  a  pre-employment  physical 
examination  before  accepting  new  employees  in  the  Maintenance  and 
Household  Departments  and  offices.  Our  accident  record  has  not 
been  good  and  a  review  of  causes  indicated  that  we  might  eliminate 
some  accidents  by  refusing  to  employ  persons  whose  health  or  physical 
condition  show  a  susceptibility  to  accidents.     In  order  to  keep  the 

Page  Eighty-three 


procedure  as  impartial  as  possible  we  engaged  a  Watertown  physician 
who  comes  to  Perkins  at  specific  times  to  examine  new  employees  on  a 

fee  basis. 

There  isn't  as  much  being  said  about  Civilian  Defense  as  there 
was  last  Fall  but  whatever  happens  now  we  have  a  good  start  toward 
being  ready.  During  this  past  year  we  co-operated  with  the  Water- 
town  Civilian  Defense  authorities,  clearing  out  our  tunnels  and  cre- 
ating well  marked  and  lighted  shelters  under  the  cottages.  Then  we 
worked  out  an  air  raid  organization  around  our  housemothers  as 
wardens,  with  teachers  and  others  assisting.  During  the  Winter  we 
conducted  two  air  raid  alerts  while  students  were  in  their  classrooms 
and  had  the  farthest  distances  to  go.  The  stop  watch  said  that 
every  person  was  in  his  place  within  eight  minutes. 

This  year  closes  an  interesting  chapter  in  my  Perkins'  experience. 
For  four  years  I  have  had  the  responsibility  of  supervising  all  of 
the  maintenance  activities  except  the  Engineering  Department,  in 
addition  to  my  business  duties.  Last  Spring  the  Trustees  approved 
Mr.  Waterhouse's  proposal  to  give  me  an  assistant  who  will  take 
over  the  direct  supervision  of  these  maintenance  activities.  Naturally, 
I  like  the  idea  not  only  because  it  will  be  better  for  Perkins  and 
because  it  will  enable  me  to  renew  adequate  attention  to  Perkins' 
business  affairs,  but  because  it  brings  to  my  department  as  Mainte- 
nance Assistant  Mr.  William  W.  Howat,  who  has  good  ideas,  a  genial 
personality,  and  a  desire  to  work.    The  oudook  is  very  good. 

The  interesting  year  I  have  just  reported  is  sure  to  be  over- 
shadowed by  the  year  ahead.

REPORT  OF  THE  TREASURER 

November  3,  1952 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31,  1952, 
is  submitted  herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation  were  audited 
by  Peat,  Marwick,  Mitchell  &  Company  and  their  report  for  the  year 
is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  of  ^250,875  slightly  exceeded 
previous  year's  receipts  of  ^237,065,  Investment  income  assigned  to 
the  funds  was  at  the  rate  of  5/2%  of  book  value,  which  is  the  same 
rate  as  the  prior  year.  The  actual  income  from  securities  was  ap- 
proximately 6%%  of  the  book  value  compared  with  6^/4%  in  the  1951 
fiscal  year.  Unassigned  income  of  ^53,380.47  was  added  to  the 
Securities  Income  Reserve  Fund  as  against  ^60,536.68  last  year.  At 
August  31,  1952,  this  Reserve  amounted  to  ^224,966.59. 

Operating  expenses  of  ^613,306.34  were  approximately  ^51,700 
higher  than  the  previous  year  and  of  this  amount,  about  ^39,600 
represented  increased  salary  expense.  The  operations  of  the  Work 
Shop  Department  terminated  in  July,  1952,  and  the  net  loss  for  the 
year,  including  expenses  subsequent  to  the  termination  of  operations, 
was  ^12,672.52.  Expenses  for  the  year,  including  the  Work  Shop 
loss,  exceeded  income  by  ^22,612.20  and  this  amount  was  charged 
against  the  Reserve  Fund  for  Depreciation.  The  excess  of  expenses 
over  income  for  the  prior  year  was  ^20,509.86.  All  charges  against 
the  Reserve  for  Depreciation  Fund  totalled  ^107,982.62  and  the 
balance  of  this  fund  on  August  31,  1952,  was  ^317,170.57— a  net 
reduction  of  ^52,319.38. 

The  operation  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  resulted  in  a  loss  of 
^79,208.97  as  against  the  prior  year's  loss  of  ^31,073.07.  A  sub- 
stantial part  of  this  deficit  is  attributable  to  the  expense  of  the  Braille 
Writer,  which  is  being  amortized  over  the  first  two  thousand  machines 
sold.  Income  from  investments  of  .^10,143.69  compares  with  ^11,262.86 
for  the  prior  year.  The  net  loss,  after  investment  income,  for  the 
present  year  was  ^69,765.28  as  against  ^20,410.21  in  the  year  ended 
August  31,  1951. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Ralph  B.  Williams,  Treasurer

ACCOUNTANTS'  REPORT 

The  Trustees 

Perkins   Institution  and 

Massachusetts  School  for  the  Blind 
Boston,  Massachusetts 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  School 
for  the  Blind  (not  including  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund)  as  of  August  31,  1952  and  the 
related  statements  of  current  fund  income  and  expenditures  and  reserve  fund  for  deprecia- 
tion for  the  year  then  ended.  We  have  also  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Howe  Meniorial 
Press  Fund  as  of  August  31,  1952  and  the  related  statement  of  income  and  expenditures 
for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  examinations  were  made  in  accordance  with  generally 
accepted  auditing  standards,  and  included  such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such 
other  auditing  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances. 

We  examined  all  investment  securities  recorded  as  owned  by  the  Institution  and  by 
the  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  as  of  August  31,  1952  and  held  for  their  respective 
accounts  by  the  Fiduciary  Trust  Company.  We  audited  all  changes  in  investments  during 
the  year  then  ended  and  satisfied  ourselves  that  investment  income  receivable  during  the 
year  was  received. 

As  of  August  31,  1952  the  Trustees  voted  to  charge  the  current  funds  excess  of 
expenditures  over  income  for  the  year  then  ended  (^22,612.20)  against  the  reserve  fund 
for  depreciation   (Exhibit  C) . 

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present  fairly  the  financial 
position  of  the  Institution  and  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  Fund  at  August  31,  1952  and 
the  results  of  their  operations  for  the  year  then  ended.
