MISS HELEN KELLER
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Famous Blind and Deaf Girl
Gives First Capital Lecture
on Use of Senses.

That the world is full of wonderful
things in spite Of the many things
which man has made, was the theme
of the address before an audience in
the Belasco Theater by Helen Keller,
who made her first appearance In the
Capital last night. Although blind and
deaf. Miss Keller charmed her audience.
and her voice. although lacking in varia-
tion. was not displeasing.
Miss Keller, who carried a bunch Of
lilies of the valley. stood with such
poise and assurance upon the stage
that strangers could not have told that
she was doubly afflicted. At first, when
she began to speak. her voice was
slightly indistinct, but after a few
warmed up to her subject there was no
difficulty In hearing every word.
"The Heart and Hand"
THE Heart and Hand Is the subject
on which Miss Keller lectured, and she
showed what might be done with tie
proper use of both. Taking herself as
an example of one who had 20 york
every moment to gain the use Of her
senses. she showed that by such work
she had got to that point where she
could appreciate form, thought. and
almost sound
The world Is full Of Miracles" said
Miss Keller, at the CONCLUSION OF nef
lecture, and presented herself-blind,
deaf, and dumb at the age Of nineteen
months and now delivering lectures.
In Introducing Miss Keller, Mrs. Macy,
who as Anne NJ Sullivan. was called to-
teach the child of seven years, told how
she had gone about the work of teach
ing her. Until Mrs. Macy came the
child's mind was an intellectual blank.
BY gradual means the teacher, who was
a graduate Of the Perkins Institute,
where DIR. Howe did his great work
with Laura Bridgeman, brought under
standing to the child until she could
read and write.
Advanced Rapidly.
After the first steps in reading and
writing the task became easier and the
child. because she was anxious to learn,
advanced rapidly. Finally she learned
how to talk with some degree of ac-
curacy. In 1904 Miss Keller graduated
from Radcliffe College with honors. and
last summer she took a special course
at the Boston Conservatory of Music.
Dr.. Alexander Graham Bell introduced
Mrs. Macy and told of his meeting Miss
Keller when she was six years old, ard
OF becoming greatly interested in her.
DR.. Bell said that Mrs Macy had revo-
lutionized the methods of instructing the
deaf and blind.
In conclusion Miss Keller announced
that she would answer any questions
that were asked and spent quarter Of
an hour answering inquiries from the
audience.
