Excerpt from Perkins Institution: A Survey of the Work for the Blind in the United States From Its Beginning Until Now; Reprint From the Annual Report for the Year Ending August 31, 1926 I have found a statement to the effect that bringing blind pupils and deaf pupils together in social contact might tend to neutralize the class consciousness of both, which the superintendent making it felt inevitably followed their separate massing in institutions; and another statement that for a period of years the Iowa College for the Blind actually admitted as pupils varying proportions of children with almost perfect vision, perhaps with the hope that this leaven of sight would help nor malize the rest. It did help the blind somewhat but hurt the seeing; and being deemed unjustifiable in any case was finally stopped. Once the semi-private schools were well begun their multiplication as public state institutions west and south was rapid - too rapid indeed to be altogether wholesome, even where distinct from the deaf. A few superintendents reported amid their various struggles in making a start that it would have been better policy to consider a school already estab lished a regional one for a section of states. And so it probably would have been until each state had had the benefits Of deliberation. Some of them would not have located in small towns or out on the wilds, as a few did merely because somebody had donated land there. Certain com munities did sink state pride and send pupils a while for schooling to ad jacent territory; and at least six states and the District of Columbia still do so. Others either pioneered all over again, sent out a questionnaire or a visiting committee or, as in the case of Ohio, got Dr. Howe to Open at Columbus a specimen school. One zealous blind man, Samuel Bacon, started institutions in three states; another, William H. Churchman, even planned and superintended more than one and wrote reports that are still standard. Generally speaking, each new venture began much as the three pioneers did; - that is, either trained or borrowed pupils already trained and, having demonstrated on tour the educability of blind youth.

Excerpt from One Hundred and Seventh Annual Report of Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind, 1938 Your Board of Trustees submits, herewith, its annual report, which includes detailed reports of the Director and Treasurer and brief reports from the heads of the various departments. The year has been one of satisfactory progress. The Class of 1938 graduating in June was the largest in the history of the School. Twenty-one received diplomas and, in addition, one received a certificate in Manual Training and one in Pianoforte Tuning. One of those receiving the regular school diplomas was Tad Chapman, a deaf-blind boy, - a notable achievement. Early in the year, Chapman and Miss Inis B. Hall, head of our deaf-blind Department, received an invitation from the Society for the Blind in South Africa to visit there and be the guests of the Society. The trip was taken during the summer and proved a great success. Chapman demonstrated that the education of a deaf blind boy was possible, and Miss Hall's experience and knowledge of dfiaf-blind education was of inestimable assistance to those engaged in that work in South Africa. Upon his return Chapman visited the School, and one morning at chapel exercises told of his experiences during the trip, - again, a notable achievement for a deaf-blind boy to address a large gathering in a clear and very interesting way.
