Excerpt from Institutions for the Blind in America, Vol. 9: A Directory of the Work for the Blind in the United States and Canada Probably every ophthalmologist has, at some time or other, been asked where and how a blind person can be schooled or otherwise armed for the battle of life. In the following survey, we have endeavored to make it possible for an inquirer in any one of the United States, or provinces of Canada, by referring to this section of the Encyclopedia, to find just what are the resources for the blind in his own locality. We have deliberately refrained from lengthy statements with regard to the education and training of the blind on this continent in the belief that the accompanying series of illustrations with their captions will be more effective than many words. It will be observed, starting with the care of infants, as exemplified in a nursery for blind babies and ending with assistance for adults, that we show with these pictures practically every phase of work for and by the blind in America. The illustrations arc typical of the best work in the country. By referring to the sub-sections dealing with one's own state or province there will be found the agencies in that locality available for the blind. If there is no institution or organization in a particular commonwealth applicable to the particular needs of the person in whom one may be interested, apply to the superintendent of the existing institution. He will he glad to direct the applicant to the nearest source of help. Historical sketch. In the United States the first attempt to be of service to the blind was made in behalf of the education of blind children, as few of the handicapped make a stronger appeal than the blind child. The first schools were started in the eastern states; Boston. New York, and Philadelphia opening them in the early thirties. It matters little which of these institutions actually began teaching blind children first. Suffice it to say that by 1835 the work was well under way in each of these cities, and, as so frequently the custom with pioneer work of an educational and philanthropic nature, the maintenance of these institutions was secured from public-spirited individuals. It was not long, however, before appeals were made to the legislatures, and state aid was soon forthcoming for the education of blind children, not only in the three above mentioned cities, but in other parts of the country. The dates of the founding of the various schools are given as the facts about each institution are recorded.
