Fit Into Classes.
Braille classes at the Park View
School have eight children en-
rolled now-three boys and i've
girls. They range from s to IL
years Of age. The eye conditions
Of most of them are congenital,
says the teacher. The earlier the
child with little vision, or with
losing vision, comes to learn
Braille. the better his progress is
likely to be.
After a pupil has had the six
elementary years at Park View
School, he is eligible to attend a
junior high school, where it would
be necessary for him to fit into
regular classes. He is used to regu-
lar classes, too; for in addition to
his special class at Park View, he
is a part of his regular grade at
the school. He fits into social
studies. physical education, sing
ing and other non-visual activi-
ties.
THE purpose of the Braille
classes is to provide education for
the partially. blind child within
the limits of his handicap" said
Miss Marjorie E. Garrett, teacher
of Braille for the colored schools.
This is done through Braille in
struction.
"Braille, in my opinion, should
be taught to all children with
serious visual defects, for it is
great sight-saver. A child learns
to read so that he may read to
learn. Therefore, the pupil who
has limited use of his eyes, but
who has learned to read Braille,
gains far more educationally."
Miss Garnett's own father has
been blind for 20 years. He is a
minister who was graduated from
Howard University and obtained
his master of arts degree after his
vision had gone.
With older pupils. the index
fingers are mainly used in reading
Braille: but younger children have
tendency to use all of their
fingers. Miss Garrett explains
that ANY or all of the fingers can
be trained to work with the brain
in developing the sense of touch
necessary for Braille reading" In
addition to reading, pupils of
course learn to write in Braille.
Every child also learns to type
write.
Play Together Too.
At the Bancroft School. five
children are enrolled in Braille
classes for the white schools. DR..
Henrietta Kornitzer is in charge
of the work. These children also
range from 6 to IL years of age.
Stepping into this classroom, one
lis again deeply impressed by the
great help these children are get
ting toward the building of self
reliance and confidence in their
own ability.

q finger down on the raised dots,
and Of thinking what they would
mean to us If we, too, were sight
less. Then maybe we can try to
realize bit more fully that one
of life's great tragedies lies in the
fact that too often, when life for
us seems good. we unintentionally
fail others who need our under
standing. It sometimes takes a
great shock, a severe loss in our
own lives, to make us aware.
Two public schools in the Ma
tons Capital every day are help
ing children who have but little
vision to learn the meaning Of
such dots, to learn the reading
and writing of Braille. These spe-
cial classes, for the white children
of the city are in the Bancroft
Elementary School at Eighteenth
and Newton streets NV. and for
the colored children. in the Park
View Elementary School at New
ton place and Warder street NV
Transportation Provided.
Children come from all over
the city to these special classes.
Transportation is provided by
the Board of Education. All are
children whose vision is too poor
to enable them to attend regular
schools or to participate in the
sight conservation classes of the
District schools. All are children
who need Braille.
II walked and walked and what
did I see? I saw little puppy.
He looked at me. Little puppy ran.
He ran to me-" Thus read 7-year-
old Percy, a second-grader at the
Park View School, as his fingers
slowly moved over the dots. The
fingers are required to recognize
a different sensations in Braille.
The entire system is based on a
cell of six dots, and from this cell
SO different combinations are pos
sible. Teachers say that the aver
age person has sufficient touch to
identify the So dot formations, or
the A varying sensations. The
brain really does the work.
If you are going to tell a story
about yourself, what word do you
use?" asked Percy's teacher. The
second-grader said it should be
IT," and the days lesson was thus
centered upon the use of the word
ST." Hence the reading lesson,

the values Of these special classes.
He had just finished reading aloud
a short story Of his own which he
had done in Braille. The bell
rang for recess. Harry went
straight to a corner of the room.
He shouldered the baseball bat.
He left the room with dignity and
poise to join other lads on the
playground. They all played as
they had all worked-together.
Little could the casual observer
at Bancroft School know that
Harry's vision is so nearly gone.
And, following him to the play
ground. little could one guess that
his eyes keep him from seeing the
world as others see it.
But his school-the special
classes in which he has studied
all of his school life, his reading
and writing in Braille, and his
regular school classes. where he
listens and recites along with his
seeing claSsmates-all these have
opened doors giving light toward
useful and understanding life
among others.
