BOY Is LIKE HELEN KELLfR
Without Sight or Hearing He Lived
First Nine Years with His Mind
in Total Darkness.

Columbus, O.-Helen Kellar is COM
Ing to Colurabus@in July to attend a
national convention of teachers of the
blind, and Leslie Oren, a 13-year-o!d
boy, now pupil in the state school
for the deaf here, and, like Miss Kel-
lar, born without the sense of either
sight or hearing, is enthusiastic over
the prospect OF meeting her.
The boy was in his ninth year when
placed in the state institution and up
to that time his mind was in total
darkness His parents had done moth
ing with him but to restrain him. Now
he Is in the seventh grade of school
work, so that he has almost wholly
made up the time lost in the begin
ming
Miss Ada Lyon his first teacher
had endless patience and slowly led
hi9 eager mind out of the darkness in
which 1t was left by the accident OF
birth. He was fortunate in having
her for teacher and unfortunate in
losing her. Three years ago she mar
ried and left the institution. She re-
tains her interest in her remarkable
pupil and they exchange letters every
week. Leslie is an expert on the type
writer. Like Helen Kelar he reads
oral language by placing the tips of
his fingers on the speakers lirs, or
communication can be as readily made
with him by spelling the manual Ian
guage in the palm of his hand.
AS is usually the case when some
senses are lacking, the other are alb.
normally developed. The sense of
smell in Leslie's case is developed
to a remarkable extent When a let
ter from his old teacher is held a dis.
lance from his face he recognizes 1t
in an instant He says he does it by
the oCor, though no one else can de.
tect it. He claims to have a notion
of color and declares that red is his
favorite color He wants to go to
college when he finishes the course
at the state institution and already
$1,000 has been subscribed to be used
in paying his expenses.
