A Wonderful Girl,

There was strange scene in the Bos-
ton Art museum the other day when
Helen Kellar, the deaf, dumb and blind
girl, whose education has developed
such wonderful possibilities, t'saw the
statues in the room devoted to Greek
casts. She was mounted on a stepladder
and with the fingers which seem to see
and hear took in the beauties Of ancient
sculpture, while the students in the in
stitution stood about and wondered.
She knew Of nearly all the statues be-
fore her visit to the museum and dis
cussed them intelligently. When she
needed explanation, she reached for the
hand Of friend, who spelled into her
fingers what she wanted to know. ~ ~
