Il BLIND STUDENT.
Hon. Miss Hogan PurstIes
Studies at Barnard.

II the world still holds any Of the unen-
Hghtened who think that blind persons are
forever cut on from normal activities, these
individuals ought to see what is being done
by Miss Margaret r Hogan, the blind stu
dent at Barnard and at Teachers College.
Though she has been sightless since early
childhood. this girl OF twenty-ono is max
ms fine record in two institutions of
learning at once. At Barnard she is special
izing In history and working for her A B.
degree. At Teachers College shs is taking
courses in manual training and other things
which will fit her to become an instructor
OF the blind. Shs says she may make man
ual training her speciality, but as this is
her junior year at Teachers College she
has plenty OF time IN which TO change her
mind.
An attack OF spinal meningitis robbed
Miss Hogan OF her sight when she was a
child Of four. Up to that time her eyes
were perfect. and she had a year in kim
dergarten, which, she says. is one OF the
happiest memories of her life. 'I Can still
picture to myself" she says, "the pretty
colored papers with which We worked"
At the age OF eight she was sent from
her home in WOOdside. n. j. to the New
York Institution for the Blind. Here she
remained as a resident pupil for ten years.
studying hard 1t various branches. and. of
course learning TO read and write by the
methods used by the blind She mastered
both the Braille system and the New York
point.
Miss Hogan attends lectures at college
with unfailing regularity, and with her
tablet and stylus takes her own class notes.
Al home she writes with the machine known
as the kleidograph. which Is a sort OF type
writer for the blind Papers to be handed
in to the faculty she writes on an ordinary
typewriter such as seeing people use. She
does her studying from books printed a.
cording to the Braille or New York point
systems. the books being sent her from ths
New York State public libraries The
state. too. gives her a pension OF $500 a
year TO pay an assistant TO read to her thu
lessons which she can't obtain in raised
characters.
From the day she entered Barnard IN
1907, Miss Hogan has been an enthusiastic
college girl. She can't take part in the
plays or the athletic stunts, but she takes
an eager interest in everything her class
