Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Trustees of the New-England Institution for the Education of the Blind, to the Corporation, 1834 For this pleasing change in the affairs of the Institution, we would take no credit to ourselves, but ascribe it to the liberal patronage of the State; to the generous interest of the public; and to the munificent spirit of individuals. We cannot but flatter ourselves, however, that all those advantages have been fully improved, and that the present state of our charge will show that the patronage so liberally bestowed, has not been unavailing. Previous to detailing the present situation of the Institution, we will recapitulate briefly some of the principal events of its history: in July, 1832, the gentleman employed by us to procure the necessary information, apparatus and teachers in Europe, returned, and we determined to make a thorough trial of the feasibility of educating the blind, even although we should be obliged to expend the last dollar in the treasury; for we were confident that if we succeeded, we might rely fully upon a generous public for the means of establishing a suitable Institution. Accordingly we took six blind children, at random, from indigent families, and after having kept them under instruction for six months, made an exhibition of their acquirements before the Legislature of Massachusetts.
