Helen Keller and Her Neau World

I IFE with Helen Keller has been a
curious journey. The average
normal man or woman Of the work

stupendousness of her accomplish
ments. Born perfectly normal and
healthy. Helen Keller before her Sec

a. severe fever which left her blind,
speechless, without hearing, and in
a state Of mental lethargy. The vital
necessities of life were snatched
away from her before she had reach
ed an age that permitted Of any ap-
preciation or lamentation Of her
losses.
Her struggle endured for years. and
out Of darkness she has risen TO
mental and spiritual planes that
tower above those Of thousands who
have not had her aflictions to over
come. Never has she cried forth her
sorrow to puzzled world. Never
has she lost faith. Never has her
mirth; spontaneity or Laughter di.
and iron will to outwit cruel fate
, been paramount.
After years of study. training and
preparation under the patient tutel-
ago of Miss Anne Sullivan. her one
constant companion through vicissi-
tudes unbelievable. Helen. Keller
sees. hears and interprets in her own
magical way a world that rates her
the most courageous woman of his
tory.

and closer contacts with world OF
