Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Teacher of the Blind, Vol. 3: The Organ of the Association of Teachers of the Blind; Vols. III-IV; March, 1915-November, 1916
The value of all this in the development Of special education, such as that Of the blind, is well illustrated by the records Of the National Association Of Teachers Of the Deaf - a body created by teachers of that class nearly twenty years ago. When the writer first entered that work, caste was rampant, and assistant teachers were expected to be listeners only at the few meetings that were held; and, indeed, but for their subscriptions being Of value, it is probable that their presence would not have been thought necessary. The narrowness Of feeling at that time was appalling, jealousies were rife, and teachers barely knew each other. The schools were divided almost as widely as feudal castles were in the Norman period; each lived to itself, and neither helped, nor profited by, the activities Of another.
