IA an open letter TO the District Com
naissioners T. f. Cleavelsnd, President Of
the American Association OF the Blind,
takes exceptions to the adverse recon-
niendations OF the board on House bill No
4s47. known as the Curtis bill for the
higher education OF the blind.
Mr.. Cleaveland states that his attention
has been called to a letter written by the
SUPERINTENDENT OF Charities and published
in a local paper. and says he is much
gratiaed 10 note the progress Mr.. Lewis
has made toward grasping The correct
idea OF the position taken by intelligent
blind people who from years Of contact
with the world have been able TO bring
90 thoughtful consideration OF the prob
lens presented 20 the sightless . knowl-
edge born Of experience.
Mr. Cieeveland quotes from the pub
lished letter referred TO the following eX-
tract: Blind persons OF the better class
are everywhere clamoring Tor the carrec-
rion OF the exaggerated notion OF their
helplessness. They are not asking for
charity. What they want is a fair recog-
milton of their abilities and a chance TO
work out their own independence Re
calling an interview with the Superin-
tendent Of Charities, in which Mr.. Cleave-
land disavowed all knowledge Of the au-
thorship OF the Curtis bill. he goes on to
say 4 recall that at this Interview he
and 1 discussed the measures proposed
by The bin and that / stated IL TO be my
Judgment that the bill asked for TOO much,
and that / feared by so doing its advo-
Gates would defeat the very object il was
intended to further. The Superintendent
Of Charities assured me al the time that
such WAS the impression D. had formed.
but that he would give the subject careful
consideration and would ende3yor 10 OBJ
tain information from every source that
would throw light upon the problems in
Volved.
Mr.. Lewis Conclusions.
Il have waited with considerable anK-
iety for his conclusions. The reason for
this anxiety viii be apparent when I state
that I knew he would find q wide differ
ence existing between the opinions Of
sighted persons holding positions which
give color TO their claims TO be authority
on the subject and the opinions enter
tsined by the educated and successful
blind.
1T is. therefore. with much qualification
that ] note the Language employed hy hiu
In the communication above cited. and
that after having given The subject a care
ful study. and having read the theories
and opinions Of sighted persons claiming
10 be authority on the subject he has been
able 60 grasp so correct an idea Of The
real needs Of the adult blind ] specify
che adult blind because the institutions
now existing for the education OF blind
children. so far as the scope Of their work
extends, are accomplishing excellent re-
suits. II Is. therefore. with the adult blind
and their chances in life that We have TO
deal. and in what follows. l. as their ad-
NOcate. desire 10 submit To the Commits
siOners OF the District OF Columbia the
principal reasons why I believe the Efforts
