Most of us think we have a pretty
hard time in life.
We do-no argument needed
But suppose you had become totally
blind at IL years old2
What would you have done with
your life7
Considered yourself mostly down
and out?
Not so with one OF the finest men
in the state of Alabama who has
been a visitor in Birmingham recent
ly. and who was reared here.
He Is Joseph Gregory Pinson. prin-
cipal of the big high school at Rock
ford.
And ne is totally blindi
He spent his vacation IN the Magic
City and had a wonderful time see
ing the sights"
Visited Workshop
Principal among these was the new
workship of the Association for the
Blind. where the sightless of Bir-
mingham may learn to make bas-
kets. weave rugs, construct bottoms
to chairs, fashion mops and do a
myriad other tasks.
Through This building he went,
where his fingers were eyes laying
hands upon all the beautiful work,
and comparing 1t with things he used
to see before fate laid upon him a
permanent blindfold, and babe him
look no more.
She ushered him into a little world
of total blackness and dared him to
find the way out-dared him to make
a beautiful thing of life for himself!
And he dared--and has done it-and
fate smiles. holding him up as an ex-
ample to thousands of others:
TT does not take eyes to do great
things in life! It's the mind, and the
will. See what useful citizen here.
He has been principal for five years
over hundreds of pupils whose eyes
are as bright, as mischievous, as
shining as were his before snatched
from him his sight by the brilliancy
of the sun shining upon the snow!
Would you think that Mr.. Pinson Is
unhappy-morose7
You should hear him taught The
world Is full of merry things to him.
For he knocked at the door of educa-
ton; and she flung wide her throne
rooms of glory, of revelation, of
speculation, of entertainment, to him.
One never can be unhappy If he Is
educated-if he knows what the

mind has problems and fancies to fol-

Exceedingly Tolerant
So. ne Is very tolerant when people
exclaim:
But how did you finish several
colleges and universities? And how in
the world can you solve geometrical
problems-aad trigonometry? And
how do you get through your school
duties2"
For. of course, to get his various
degrees he had to take full courses
the same as pupils with sight.
He replies:
II had my lessons read to me, and
solved my 'trig' and arithmetical and
geometrical problems in my head. AS
to my school duties at Rockford, I
can tell Just as easily as man with
sight whether my pupils have their
geometrical problems properly. For,
IL they can't explain them and do not
understand them, I am well aware of
