F yes Of the Soul
u shall never forget that hour with Helen Keller"
by GUTZON BORGLUM

Ibis w<<k marks the
ttti<th anrtuersary Of the
real beginning of life for
Helen Keller. Exactly a
haU-eentury ago next
Thursday Anne Mansfield
Sullican, later to become
knotcn to the scorld as
Mrs. John II. Macy,
touched the hand Of one
of the most terribly hand,-
capped humans of our
time - nor one of the
most famous. Born svith-
out sight or hearing,
Helea Keller had no yay
to learn speech. The day
Anme SaLlioan, trained
particularly for her lJts
soork, took Helen Keller's
hand, tie ba'ri<,s Of night
and silence su<re broken
for the girl. On that day
she suas born into the ac-
tioe soorn Of men and
so0men.
So important a per-
5onag< has she become
that the american
Foundation for the Blind,
together soith many other
organizations, has set
aside 1858 as Helen
Keller Year, and March 3
as National Helen Keller
Day.
Last year Cutzon
Borglum, An,e,iea's s fam
ous sculptor, took Helen
Keller to the Rodin Mu-
scum tn Paris to "5ee"
that great masters s ,vork.
For an hour the public
scas excluded, the silk
cords soer< dropped, and
svith the help Of Borslnm
and her fngertips Miss
Ktlle, felt her s0ay into
the unesplored s0orld Of
sculpture. 1t was her first
lesson in that art. and in
that Lesson Helen Keller

here she examined the
same face; then her
hands descended to-
ward the outstretched
arm. Immediately she
recognized the reason
for the facial expression
of concern.
'Oh," she exclaimed,

l then led her hands
to the figures about him,
to the maiden bent in
grief. Lingering over
this, she sighed in SYM
pathy, 'Oh, how sad
she is!'
We approached "The
Thinker" Her hands
played over his broad
shoulders, his powerful
aims, his thick-set neck.
"What power! What
muscles!" she exclaimed.
Her fingers found his
face and head, and the
hand bent under his
chin. She shook her head
slowly. The man, she
remarked, was a doer
and a worker. "He is
trying to think" she
said. "Rodin might
have named it Trying
to Think. ,"
l was fully conscious
Of the tremendous
awakening that was 60
ing on in the soul of
Helen Keller. She was
not coming in contact
with human e&giesonly.
She was in touch, in i'm
mediate contact, with
the dramatized bodies
of our great. Once more,
she was in a new world.
We went on to "The
Burgesses of Calais" a
ofsix6gureslarger
than life: six men who
gave themselves up to
the English in order
that their city might be
spared. This, to my
thinking, is one of the
great masterpieces of the
world. 1t represents six

Painted the Drama of Colonial Times

YOUTHFUL John Trumbull, son
 of the governor of Connecticut, could hardly have missed catching the full drama of the Revolution in his famous paintings. Graduat- ing from Harvard in 1773 at IT, he plunged into the war for Inde- pendence, serving creditably when he sketched plans of the British works at Boston. For this he was appointed second aide-de-camp to General Washington, and in June, l776, deputy adjutant general to General Gates. At one time he was imprisoned by the British for seven months.
 So out of the Revolution young Trumbull drew his inspiration. and he executed such historic paintings as Battle of Bunker Hill" Death of Montgomery" "The Surrender of Cornwallis, "The Surrender of Burgoyne," "The Resignation of Washington" and many individual portraits.
 Perhaps his most famous is the "The Signing of the Declaration of Independence" It is shown here on a 24-cent purple and milori green stamp of the U. s. series of 1869, reproduced slightly more than one and one-half times actual size. Trumbull died in New York on Nov. 10. 1843.
