PERKINS INSTITUTION

HISTORY

IN 1826 Dr. John D. Fisher returned to Boston from Paris resolved to provide for the blind of Massachusetts the same care afforded them in France. Enlisting the aid of friends, a committee was formed and upon petition to the Legislature an Act of Incorporation was granted on March 2, 1829. establishing "The New England Asylum for the Blind," the first school in America for those without sight. In 1831 Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, just returned from participation in the Greek wars, was elected the first director, and in August, 1832, the first classes were held in the house of Dr. Howe's father on Pleasant Street.

During the early years Col. Thomas H. Perkins became interested in the little school and gave for its use his large house on Pearl Street. The need for larger quarters was soon apparent, and in 1839 the great hotel in South Boston was purchased. This purchase was made possible by the assent of Colonel Perkins to the sale of the house that he had given to the School. Because of this magnanimous attitude of Colonel Perkins the Trustees renamed the school "Perkins Institution and Massachusetts Asylum for the Blind." This name was changed in 1877 to the present name, "Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind."

Dr. Howe directed the growing work of Pericins Institution for forty years and was succeeded in 1876 by his Greek proteg^ and son-in-law. Michael Anagnos. Mr. Anagnos created the Howe Memorial Press for publishing embossed books and for the manufacture of appliances for education of the blind. In 1887 he founded the Kindergarten in Jamaica Plain, the first school in the world for little blind children. After thirty years of leadership Mr. Anagnos died in Rumania in 1906.

In 1907 the directorship of Perkins Institution feU to Edward E. AUen, head of the school for the blind in Philadelphia, where he had just rebuilt the school plant on a garden site outside of the city. Coming to Boston, Mr. Allen began plans for a new Perkins, and in 1912 the Institution and in 1913 the Kindergarten were housed in the beautiful new plant at Watertown. These buildings, situated on an old estate of thirty-four acres on the banks of the Charles River, have school and residence facilities for nearly three hundred pupils. Dr. Allen retired in 1931. His last ofBcial act was to write the one hundredth annual report. Thus for a century Perkins Institu- tion had but three directors.

PURPOSE

Perkins Institution provides for the visually handicapped youth of New England full educational opportunity from Kindergarten through High School. The content of instruction corresponds with that offered to seeing boys and girls in the public schools. The methods of instruction of necessity differ. Principal differences^ are that embossed books take the place of ink print, and studies are taught objectively. In the adaptation and invention of means of instructing the blind. Perkins has been a pioneer through its century of existence. Much attention is paid to physical and manual training and to music. Opportunity is provided for those qualified to pursue higher studies or take advanced work in music and vocational fields.

Boys and girls without sight or with insufficient sight to read ink-print are ad- mitted as pupils, if capable of education and in good health. While at the school pupils reside in cottages where the teachers also live, and through this association they acquire that unconscious tuition which is such an important part of the program of socializa- tion. The primary aim of Perkins Institution is to qualify its visually handicapped pupils to take contributory places in normal life. New pupils are admitted in September and February, and aU pupils must return to their homes for the short vacations at Christmas and Easter and for the long vacation in the summer.

SYNOPSIS OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CORPORATION

Watertown, Massachusetts November 1, 1948

The Annual Meeting of the Corporation, duly summoned, was held today at the Institution, and was called to order by the Presi- dent, Dr. Eeginald Fitz, at 3.00 P. M.

The proceedings of the last meeting were read and approved.

The annual reports of the Trustees and the Director were ac- cepted and ordered to be printed, with the addition of other matters of general interest to the work.

The report of the Treasurer was presented, accepted and ordered to be printed together with the certificate of the Certified Public Accountant.

It was then

VOTED : That acts and expenditures, made and authorized by the Board of Trustees, or by any committee appointed by said Board of Trustees, during the last corpor- ate year, be and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

It was further

VOTED: That the nomination of the Finance Committee and the appointment by the Trustees, of Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Company, Certified Public Accountants as Auditors of the Accounts of the Institution be and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

The Corporation then proceeded to the choice of officers for the ensuing year, and the following persons were unanimously elected by ballot: President, Reginald Fitz, M. D.; Vice-Presi- dent, Ralph Lowell; Treasurer, John P. Chase; Secretary, Gabriel Farrell; Trustees, David Cheever, Jr.; Mrs. Richard E. Danielson; Reginald Fitz, M. D.; Robert H. Hallowell; Henry W. Holmes, LL.D.; Warren Motley; Richard Saltonstall, and Miss Rosanna D. Thorndike,

The following persons were elected members of the Corpora- tion: Mrs. David Cheever, Jr.; Mrs. Russell Codman; Lady Emilie Coote; William Endicott, 2nd; Mrs. Robert M. Faxon; Mrs. Frederic B. Kellogg, Mrs. George F. Plimpton; Miss Elizabeth Rackemann; Mrs. Augustus N. Rantoul; Miss Mary D. Rudd; Mrs. Richard Saltonstall; Mrs. Rudolph Weld.

The Ladies Visiting Committee, formerly the Ladies Visiting Committee to the Kindergarten, has been reorganized, under the

13

leadership of Miss Rosanna D. Thorndike, and is now a visiting committee to the whole school. The new committee has sixteen members and the Corporation was glad to welcome this addition to its governing boards.

The Treasurer reported that the recommendations for changes in the accounting system, including the set-up of Reserve Funds outlined in the report of last year, have been carried out. These changes have strengthened the accounting system, and the Reseive Accounts are setting up funds which will be helpful in years when income is lower than at the present time. The Treasurer stated that "every operating economy consistent with efficiency must be practiced, for the finances of the Institution must not be allowed to become impaired; to do so would jeopardize the freedom of the Institution to seek its educational goals."

The Director briefly outlined some events of the year, speak- ing especially of the library reconstruction, the building of the two new reading rooms and the changes in the offices. He invited the members of the Corporation to visit the library, reading rooms and offices and to meet at the end of this inspection m the new staff lounge where coffee would be served.

There being no further business the meeting was then dissolved-

Respectfully submitted,

Gabriel Farrell, Secretary

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

November 1, 1948

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES the following report for the year 1948 is submitted; with it are included reports of the Treasurer and the Director.

The Treasurer's report emphasizes, particularly, the increas- ing costs of operation.

The Director's report outlines, in an interesting fashion, the varied activities of the year and illustrates how Perkins has main- tained its high standards of instruction to the young people who come to the school handicapped by visual deficiencies.

On the basis of the estimated budget for the coming year, our expenses for each pupil will amount to more than $2,000. Perkins has always been determined to offer the best possible educational opportunities; the time may be approaching, however, when the Trustees will be forced to consider whether all of our pupils need so elaborate a program as has become established. There may be a number of young people within the school, and many more with faulty vision outside of the school, who might profit more from a simpler curriculum and gain more from an educational system which lays greater emphasis on training to meet practical needs than our present course offers. This problem has been discussed many times in the past and, once again, may deserve reconsidera- tion.

The budget calls for a total expenditure of more than half a million dollars. This large figure gives the Trustees grave concern, not only because of its size but also because it demands assurance that new funds will accrue through which Perkins can continue to extend its program. Our endowment in the past has grown largely through many small bequests and through a few of most generous proportions. Our funds no longer grow as rapidly as they did. How soon must the Trustees plan to seek more widely for financial support than heretofore has been necessary?

One of the most significant events of the year was the change of plans for the library and for concentrating other important facilities within the school's buildings. In last year's report refer- ence was made to a special committee appointed to study these matters and to their plans for a new building. In the early spring the Director ingeniously devised a new method of accomplishing the purpose in mind for considerably less than the contemplated cost, and with the added advantage of housing all new develop- ments within our present main building. In his report he has described the details of this; the Trustees wish to express to him their appreciation of his happy solution of a problem which proved so baffling for a number of years.

Another interesting development is the reorganization of the Ladies Visiting Committee. The Committee was established m 1887 to help in the work of the kindergarten, then an experimental project still in its incipiency. Until recently the Committee has rendered valuable help, not only to the administrative staff and matrons but also to the pupils of the Lower School. The Second World War interfered so much with its operation that the help ot a fresh and reviving stimulant seemed needed for its post-war rehabilitation. Miss Rosaima D. Thorndike, a Trustee before going to France on active service, has rejoined the Board and has already reorganized this important committee. It now no longer restricts its activities to the kindergaren but has extended its interests to cover the whole school and already its help and influ- ence are perceptible. The Trustees are deeply grateful to Miss Thorndike and her aides.

With sincere regret the Trustees report the death of one ot their members: Mrs. Mabel Knowles Gage, who died at Worcester on the sixteenth of May. Mrs. Gage became a Trustee in 1933, and was always an active and devoted colleague, playing a positive part in deliberations of the Board and also taking an energetic and personal interest in all the affairs of the teachers and pupils of the school. At their meeting on June 15, the Trustees passed a formal memorial in her honor which has been inscribed in our vpcords

During the past year the Corporation has lost, by death, eight members : Caspar G. Bacon, Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott, Frederick A. Goskins, Malcolm W. Greenough, Arthur D. Hill, Fred F. Partridge, Mrs. Bertha A. Vaughan, and Mrs. Thomas A. Watson. Their loss is felt keenly.

Respectfully submitted for the Trustees. Reginald Fitz, President

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

November 1, 1948

T^HE YEAR for which this report is being made, terminating •*• August 31, 1948, has been one of routine progress. Nothing sensational has taken place. There have been no great incidents, nor many unusual activities. The general health of the school has been good and the academic program has moved along smoothly as planned. In the area of business administration, however, things have been at times quite grim. The financial reports will show that we have come through the year with a relatively small deficit. The one thing that seems appalling at this time is the prospect of greater costs next year. The many "events of the year" that this report will cover, while routine in nature, and old to many who have been here a number of years, are always fresh to the new pupils. In retrospect we can say that progress has been made.

This progress was due to the generous understanding of cur- rent problems by the Trustees, the careful planning and economy of the department heads and housemothers and the time, patience and skill given unsparingly by the teachers, both in classrooms and cottages. Men and women of the maintenance and domestic departments deserve credit for they have stood by when more lucrative work was available elsewhere. Tribute must also be paid to pupil leadership both in building morale among fellow students and in cooperation with the administration chiefly through the student councils. This report of the happenings of the year will reflect the contributions which all members of the Perkins community have made, both as individuals and as groups and for all this the administration is grateful.

Business Outlook Grim

Having referred to the business administration of the school as the area presenting "grim" problems let us consider them at the outset. The Bursar, Mr. Hemphill, in his report used a different term for he states: "The fiscal year just ended has been an 'historic' one for at least two reasons. Operating costs reached a new high, and improvements in both plant and program were undertaken in volume beyond our expectation. The high operating

17

costs were forced upon us by inflation, and changing conditions in the fields of labor and supply. Many improvements in plant and equipment were planned but others were forced upon us by the weather, changing programs within the school and items of main- tenance deferred because of the war.

"The Board of Trustees at its September, 1947 meeting ap- proved a budget of $450,985.00 to cover the operation of the Insti- tution and the Kindergarten at Watertown, and the Workshop at South Boston. This provided for an increase of $33,477.61 over the costs of the year before. The actual expenses for the fiscal year 1947-1948 totaled $471,089.57, resulting in a budgetary deficit of $10,104.57; a loss, of approximately 2.2%. Although we were disappointed to exceed the highest budget in our history, this defi- cit was undeniably reasonable considering mounting costs during

the year.

"In setting up the budget, the cost-of-living adjustment plan which affects non-teaching, live-out personnel, provision was made for 45% supplementary compensation. By August 1948 this had risen to 64%, which cost the school $7,200 more in salaries than had been anticipated. The Trustees acted favorably at the June meeting upon a suggestion that teachers' salaries be reconsidered The teachers are not included in the cost-of-living plan, and with advancing costs and nearly three months when they do not get living at the school, it seemed o'nly fair to give them some help. A 5% summer bonus was approved and a 10% advance for the coming year was authorized. The former added $3600 to the salary accounts of the educational department for the year which has closed Our conservatively estimated food budget of $52,000 was exceeded by $6,800, an advance of 13%. The Cost of Living Index for food in the Boston area was fifteen points higher in July 1948 than in September 1947. .

"Our largest expense deficit occurred in the account for special maintenance, repair and replacement, $22,647 against a budget of $10 000 Two major factors contributed to this additional expense. The' severe winter with the large amount of snow caused extensive damages, calling for gutter replacements at a cost of $8,000 The con- crete roof on the coal bunkers had to be rebuilt and repaved at a cost of $4 500. Other items of expense on maintenance were the installa- tion of new brass piping in Bridgman and Tompkins Cottages at a cost of $2,958. This is the beginning of a project which will extend throughout the whole school as this piping is over thirty years old.

18

"Many projects deferred during the war had to be carried through. A new heating plant in the Principal's residence was installed and the kitchen in the Chief Engineer's cottage was re- novated. The prewar program of decorating in the cottages was resumed. Extensive new equipment was provided in the school. A small medical type electric refrigerator was installed in the health department for the many drugs used today which require refrig- eration."

Academic Outlook Bright

Academically the year has progressed without the "grim" as- pects of the business side, although this area has made its contribu- tion to increased costs. The Principal, Mr. Sherman, however, reports that: "The most important area in our school program is that devoted to the care and teaching of our youngest pupils. In the cottage groups from kindergarte^n to the fourth grade our pupils receive basic training on which they will pattern their entire lives. In classroom work at this level we have always tried to move pupils along as their growth and ability warrant. During the year, we did away entirely with grade labels and grade divisions in these two cottages, and attempted to introduce a more carefully organized plan of continuous progress. This plan was not nearly as successful as we had hoped it would be, but it is difficult to determine the success of such a program on a one-year trial. We should continue to carry on this plan for at least another year and try to make it work more effectively.

"At the two other cottages in the Lower School our program has continued as it has for several years. The transfer of two teachers from the Upper School and the competency gained by young teachers through additional years of experience with our pupils have produced much more effective teaching at this level. We have been fortunate to have a special remedial Braille teacher to assist pupils who have been slow in making the adjustment to Braille or who need special assistance in improving their Braille techniques. Having this teacher has also meant a more rapid adjustment to changed school situations for pupils who have come to Perkins from public school classes. Opportunity for good shop training has been provided for the older boys. For the girls sev- eral extra curricular activities are provided by the Girl Scouts.

"In the Upper School we have continued to offer a very broad program of study. Our Upper School pupil population includes

19

(1) a majority of regular graded pupils spread from the seventh grade level through a post graduate year, (2) a group of ungraded pupils for whom a regular school program is inadequate, and (3) a number of "out of course pupils" who are pursuing special ob- jectives or are seeking adjustment to visual handicaps through a school experience. Each year we admit new pupils to the high school who do not fit easily into the school program.

"Over a period of years we have moved away from the tradi- tional academic type of program toward a more 'practical' cur- riculum. Last year a careful study of the high school courses of regularly graded pupils showed that 85.3% were enrolled in non- college courses while 14.7% were pursuing the traditional college course. Of the former, nineteen were pursuing terminal vocational courses, (piano tuning 14.7% and commercial Ediphone transcrip- tion 10.7%. Twenty pupils, or 26.6%, were taking a general course in which many different objectives were being sought, and twenty- five pupils, or 33.3% were taking the practical arts course. An in- teresting comparison of these figures was made with a local high school and it is explai'ned in the following table: COURSE OF Study Perkins Local High School

General 26.6% 28.6%

College 14.7% 28.2%

Practical Arts 33.3% 11.7%

Pianoforte Tuning 14.7%

Commercial Course 10.7% 31.5%

"While still giving a broad program of studies organized around a core of general education subject areas required of all regularly grading pupils, we are attempting to emphasize those courses which will prepare pupils for life situations and give them as many 'salable skills' as possible. In general this has been done in three ways. In both high and junior high school classes, a divi- sion has been made to form small homogeneous groups with which we are able to deal more realistically on an interest and ability level commensurate with pupil needs and capacities. Secondly, the prac- tical arts program has been broadened to include new craft skills, home mechanics courses, and more use of machine tools. Thirdly, new courses have been added, such as Guidance at the seventh grade level, Guidance and Occupations at the ninth grade level, and Ori- entation at the senior level. All of these te^d to acquaint pupils with the world of work and to help them to meet life situations

20

with more 'know-how' and with a better understanding of their own abilities and limitations.

"A so-called 'practical' type of program does not mean a lower- ing of academic standards. On the contrary, such a curriculum makes possible an upward revision of standards for a greater num- ber of pupils. We must continue to introduce, through new courses and a reshaping of old ones, more experimental material. Not only should this be done in the classroom, but increasing attention and study should be given to important areas of learning outside of the school building. We must re-study the ways by which we are helping our pupils to overcome the fundamental problems of blindness, and improve through in-service growth and careful an- alysis the potent environmental factors producing good mental health and leading our pupils to a more realistic acceptance and un- derstanding of their blindness. This is the most practical aspect of our entire program and will be achieved only through the loving and intelligent care given our pupils by house-mothers and teachers working cooperatively in our cottage family plan,"

A Healthy Year

"On the whole the children have had a healthy year." This is the final statement in the report made by Miss Marjorie Potter, school nurse, prior to leaving for Germany to undertake work in a camp for displaced children under the direction of the American Unitarian Association. Her description of the year must be amplified, but there have been no unusual accidents nor more ill- ness than might be expected with 240 children. An analysis of the year's report indicates that most of the illnesses this year were classified as upper respiratory infections (143) followed by gastro- intestinal upsets (60). There were no epidemics of measles or chickenpox as in former years. We did, however, have one case of measles, one of German measles, and three of chickenpox. Part of this good record may be attributed to the fine services of Miss Potter and to the ministrations of Dr. Balboni, school physician.

During the year the children were taken regularly to the Mass- achusetts General Hospital for hospitalization when necessary and for periodic check-ups through the several clinics. There were three tonsillectomies, one sinus operation and one hernia operation. One of the older girls went to the Naval Hospital for plastic sur- gery arranged through her family, and one child during vacation

21

was in the hospital for an appendectomy. During the early part of the year the routine tests were all carried out, each new child having a very careful physical examination, and all of the other pupils being checked when the need was indicated. Every child in the school had a hemoglobin and bloodpressure examination. Chest x-rays were taken of all new pupils, teachers and household staff by the State Department of Health, the films being furnished by the Middlesex Health Association. Urine analysis was made of all pupils, and inoculations were given to pupils in the Lower School for diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. Wasserman tests were done on all new pupils and Widal tests on all those who handled food.

Perkins is indebted to the Forsyth Dental Infirmary for dental work beyond what our school dentists could provide, chiefly in the area of extractions. Once again all of the pupils of the Upper School were taken to the Forsyth Infirmary for oral prophylactic treatments. The study undertaken at Perkins in the Lower School by the Tufts Medical School on the effect of Fluorine in arresting tooth decay was completed early in October when a number of the pupils went to the Tufts Dental College for examination. Dr. Elliott came to the school one day a week to care for the dental needs of the pupils of the Upper School, while Dr. Ruelberg continued to serve the children in the Lower School. This was Dr. Ruelberg's fortieth year of service.

The physiotherapy department seldom is given sufficient credit for its share in the program of physical care. Our certified phys- iotherapist. Miss Shirlie L. Smith, although visually handicapped has proved a very effective worker in this field. In December all of the new pupils were examined by Dr. Ober, our orthopedic sur- geon, and treatments recommended. Under his direction Miss Smith carried out a very intensive program of help for these chil- dren and an extensive program of general posture training. In March Dr. Ober again examined the children for whom special corrective work had been prescribed. This department is fully equipped to give mechanotherapy treatments, infra-red treatments and massage. Weekly ultra-violet treatments have been given to practically all the children and have helped to improve the general " health. The official record shows that 3,437 ultra-violet treat- ments were given, 1,113 mechanotherapy treatments and 424 infra- red treatments.

22

A long established part of our program is the work done in speech correction. In this field Perkins is fortunate in having two very capable and experienced teachers of speech therapy. Mrs. Waterhouse, who holds a master's degree, has had wide experience in dealing with the speech problems of blind children. She is ably assisted in the Lower School by Miss Albertina Eastman, a grad- uate of Perkins and Boston University. During the school year, under the leadership of those two teachers, forty-six new pupils were given the routine speech test, and nineteen were found to be in need of speech therapy. The work was continued with forty- five children who previously had been receiving treatment. In all, sixty children received individual corrective work.

Intelligence, Achievement, Aptitude

The psychological department has carried out this year its pro- gram of testing under the leadership of Dr. Hayes, our psychol- ogist, and Mrs. Davis, psychometrist. Additional help in this de- partment was available through the services of a graduate of Scripps College, who gave part time to the department and part time to the Harvard Course, and two Wellesley seniors who worked on testing as a part of their college program. The testing program advanced along all four major lines of mental measurement:

1. Intelligence tests; 2. Achievement tests; 3. Aptitude tests and 4. The trying out and adaptation of tests to determine voca- tional preferences.

Individual intelligence tests, were given to all new pupils, and retests were administered to others making a total of 127 this year. A new form of the Wechsler-Bellevue Test was given to thirty-nine pupils. The English adaptation of the Binet Test made by Ivy Langan was tried out on a large number of pupils.

Perkins has made another contribution to the cause of testing by embossing Form R of the Metropolitan Achievement Tests. It was time to publish a new series, since all ten forms of the Stan- ford Achievement test have been used at Perkins and various other schools. A trial of the Metropolitan series at Perkins and Over- brook gave very satisfactory results, so our plates have been sent to the American Printing House for the Blind, with detailed direc- tions prepared by Dr. Hayes, to be distributed to other schools.

The use of aptitude tests for the blind is relatively new, al- though previously tried on several occasions. There is, however, an increasing demand for these by agents of the rehabilitation

23

service when our pupils leave school and apply for placement. Be- cause of that, four motor skill tests were tried out in the Upper School this year with the assistance of the two seniors from Welles- ley. These tests seem to have value and can be helpful in determin- ing guidance possibilities and job opportunities. It is interesting to note that the results correlate fairly accurately with the judg- ments of motor skill made by the Perkins teachers. As a further contribution to testing for the adult blind in vocational areas, a modified technique for using the Kuder Preference Record was developed and tried out in the Upper School. This proved worth while and indicative of the special interests of the pupils. The re- sults of these tests and a description of the technique used were published in the April Outlook for the Blind, and the dot-sheets and scoring stencils developed for those without sight were offered for sale so that other schools or blind groups may benefit by the adaptation of these tests which Perkins has made.

A study is being made of a group of visually handicapped pre- mature babies to see if scales of measurement can be developed to determine their rate of growth and mental promise. Mrs. Davis visits the homes of these children at ^^^^j^ /f "^^^^ "^f^/ observations, in terms of the Maxfleld adaptation of Dolls Vine- land Social Maturity Scale. When enough children have been becked over a sufficient period of time it is hoped that Perkins ml be able to validate this scale and recommend its wide use with the group of pre-school children in whom so much interest is centered at the present time.

Contacts With Community The School Service Department under Miss Marshall has con- tinued its program in an effective way. While Miss Mar^han h^^^ bpen kept in the office by duties which will be assumed by a f ulltime registrar next year, she has been able to make more home visits than L the war years. "During the last sum^mer vacation," she reports, ''many homes in the northern part of New England w^re visited A good deal of the visiting now is done in connection with the sta e workers in the several states. Together we often go to homes to talk with parents about their children. Through these visits we are able to talk over with the parents the ways m which the State Divisions of the blind can help their children and what part Per Sn can take in these plans. This has helped to clarify our rela- ^onships, to make the parents feel happier about having their

children come to Perkins, and to show to what extent they can turn to the respective organizations for assistance when they leave Perkins."

Within the school Miss Marshall has helped in dealing with individual children who have presented problems beyond the scope of the teachers or housemothers. In the more severe cases she has been advised and assisted by Dr. Barry, the psychiatrist, who has worked during the year with several children who presented acute problems. This is now a well-established routine in the school, and due to the fact that we have the part time services of a skilled psychiatrist and the full time of a psychiatric social worker, we are better equipped to deal with emotional disturbances and acute psychological problems than ever before. Many of these prob- lems are found among young people who have lost their sight more recently and whom we are trying not only to adjust to blindness, but also instruct in ways of living in a darkened world.

Miss Marshall reports "we are having more and more corres- pondence with and visits from parents of children still too young to come to Perkins. Having children who are visually handicapped, they are seeking early guidance and learning of opportunities for the educational training of their children. We are glad to encour- age this relationship with parents and we have made a point of inviting them to bring their children to the school during the year before they might enter. This has accomplished a great deal in preparing the children for school life and lessening the strange- ness which sometimes makes the change of environment so hard. The whole problem of more effectively serving the pre-school blind child and his parents is one that needs more careful study and more effective implementation.

Music Department Notes The Music Department had a very successful year and being the first under the leadership of Mr. Bauguss deserves special men- tion. Having been associated with Perkins for ten years, he is familiar with the music life of Perkins and has continued the same general type of instruction and activity. Mr. Bauguss has tried, however, to enrich the program and to introduce a number of new features. One of these was a series of talks at the morning assem- blies to build up music appreciation; another to bring to Perkins outstanding musicians. Under this plan the pupils and staff mem- bers were able to enjoy a performance of the opera "The Marriage

25

of Figaro" by the New England Opera Association on October 14; Jules Wolfers and his string orchestra on November 15; a concert by Al Donahue's Jazz Orchestra on November 25; Robert Brink, violinist, on February 27; Frank Gallagher, organist, on March 5; Dora Skipps, soprano, a Perkins graduate, on May 7; the English Bellringers, who played the Perkins chimes, on May 23 and Louise Homer Stires, soprano, on May 25.

An afternoon of music which the pupils especially enjoyed was that of April 2 when Fred Lowery, a talented whistler, came out and gave two concerts, one in the Upper School and one in the Lower School, assisted by his vocalist, Dorothy Rae. Fred has visited the school on former trips to Boston, and the pupils always enjoy him because he is a graduate of the Texas School for the Blind and demonstrates how successful a visually handicapped person can become. At the Upper School concert he asked the pupils to select someone to perform for him, and the choice fell on Josephine Marrama, a junior who has been doing solo work with the Perkins chorus. So impressed was Fred with Josephine's ability that he invited her to be his guest at his performance at the Hotel Statler on April 9. While there he called upon Josephine to sing before the large and interested audience.

Four large programs were featured by the Music Department this year. The first was the traditional group of Christmas Con- certs given by both the Upper and Lower School choruses on Sunday afternoon, December 14, and the following Tuesday and Thursday evenings. These were all given in Dwight Hall, and as in former years, large and appreciative audiences enjoyed the program of traditional and modern Christmas carols. These were planned and directed by Mr. Bauguss, assisted by Mrs. Carr at the organ, and Miss Seymour at the piano. The second big feature was the Pops Concert presented on three evenings, March 9, 10, and 12, and largely planned and directed by Mrs. Carr, with the assistance of the other teachers of the Music Department. Although only introduced a few years ago, these concerts of popular music are building up into a Perkins tradition, and the program this year was as delightful as ever. A charge for admission is made, and the money raised goes into the Music Fund.

A third enterprise, an entirely new one, was the participation of the Perkins Upper School chorus in the Musical Festival held in the Newton High School on Sunday afternoon. May 23. The

26

Perkins chorus shared the program with the Newton High School chorus and the high school orchestra. The fourth event was also new, the presentation of the delightful little operetta "Rumpel- stiltzkin" on the evenings of June 3 and 4 by the pupils of the Lower School. Uniquely staged and delightfully costumed, these presentations were well received by large audiences. It is difficult to tell which enjoyed the presentation more, the audiences who marveled at our children's ability, or the children themselves, who were making their first public appearance.

Smaller musical groups within the school have been active this year. The Girls' Glee Club, which has for many years given concerts, continued its activity this year under the direction of Mrs. Carr. This group presented pleasing programs before schools, church organizations and women's clubs, and is a practical example of what Perkins does for its pupils. Along with the music programs, the girls invariably give demonstrations of Braille writ- ing and reading and other scholastic methods. A newer group is the Boys' Glee Club which this year has given programs before many organizations. A most interesting trip down the harbor to sing at the city home on Long Island in which both clubs partici- pated took place on April 11. A third active group this year has been the Boys' Orchestra which carried on a program of concerts on a professional basis, and gave a series of broadcasts over Station WCRB. The training of these groups is part of the Music De- partment's program, supplementing the large amount of individual teaching given to pupils in harmony, voice and instruments and available to all pupils with aptitude in music.

School Sports

Another department which is deserving of special mention this year is that of physical education. Athletically the School has had an active year both on the girls' and boys' side as well as in the Lower School. The girls in the Upper School under the able lead- ership of Miss Pinkham have had a consistent program of physical training and recreational activities. These have included swim- ming, walking, dancing and gym work. Throughout the year there have been competitions in several fields by the cottage groups, culminating in the field day on May 25 when May Cottage was winner. This victory was celebrated on June 7 with a banquet held in May Cottage with teachers and staff members as waitresses

27

and all the girls as guests. In the Lower School a program of play activity was carefully planned and conducted by Miss Siebert, and much stress was put on good posture with the help of Miss Smith.

On the boys' side in the Upper School the physical education program was directed by Ben Smith, assisted by the house masters. In the wrestling season he was also helped by Ben Mottelson, a graduate student at Harvard who gave instruction in this sport. During the fall months the traditional tournament in football was held between the four cottages. This resulted in a tie victory between Bridgman and Eliot Cottages and was celebrated by the annual football banquet held on November 22 at Moulton Cottage. The major sport during the winter term was wrestling. This year Perkins had a notable season. Meets were held with Needham, Attleboro and Wellesley High Schools, and with Andover, Browne and Nichols, Noble and Greenough, Tabor, Milton, St. Marks and Exeter Academies. Of these meets Perkins won five and lost five. The big event in the wrestling program, however, was the meet held in Staunton, Virginia, February 20 and 21 by the Eastern Athletic Association of Schools for the Blind. Perkins sent a team of nine boys with three masters to Virginia to participate in this event with eight other schools for the blind. Perkins won the meet with twenty-four points, and it is interesting to note that our boys won but one match, whereas every boy scored points in other matches, making enough to bring victory. This trip gave oppor- tunity for association with boys in other schools for the blind, and provided opportunity for our pupils to visit historic places In Virginia, in the District of Columbia, and in New York.

Another meet of the Eastern Athletic Association of Schools for the Blind was the culmination of the spring track season. Fol- lowing meets with the Watertown High School and other local schools, Perkins athletes concentrated on preparation for the Asso- ciation meet which was held at Perkins on Saturday, May 15. On the day before, seven boys and one master from each of eight schools for the blind arrived at Perkins for the week-end. The event itself proved to be a notable occasion. Judged and directed by professionals, it attracted wide publicity in the local press and on the radio. In this event, the Virginia team, host of the previous meet where Perkins was victor, won the championship. Perkins secured third place. On that evening a banquet was held in Dwight Hall for all the Perkins Upper School boys and the many guests.

28

This proved to be one of the most delightful events of athletic and social history in Perkins.

On the week-end of November 14, five girls and a teacher from Perkins joined with similar groups from five other schools for a week-end playday held at Perkins. Over the week-end of May 28, five boy scouts accompanied by Mr. Smith joined in a camping week-end with scouts of other schools for the blind at the Overbrook School in Philadelphia. This interchange of pupil activities and visits among our special schools is one that we now want to encour- age as it was impossible during the war years.

Children op the Silent Night

This has been an active and successful year for the Deaf-Blind Department under the leadership of Mrs. Gittzus. We have had eight boys and girls under instruction and all of them have made adequate progress. This is not as large a number of pupils as in earlier years because of the difficulty we are having in securing enough trained teachers. There is still a crying need throughout the country for the education of more deaf-blind children and every effort is being made to find and to train teachers so that this depart- ment may more adequately serve these doubly handicapped children.

This year marked the completion of the education of three of the deaf-blind pupils who came to Perkins as little children and are now grown up and one who was here for four years. The first of these is Leonard Dowdy who was the first pupil to be taught wholly by the oral method. Because of his attractiveness and promise Leonard has been one of the most interesting pupils that this department has ever had. During the sixteen years he has been here Leonard has matured into a fine appearing and well- mannered young man. While he had not completed sufficient aca- demic work to be graduated from high school as "Tad" Chapman was in 1935, he has reached the level of his school achievement. Now twenty-one years old it was felt that the time had come for him to have specific training in skills which v^^ould be the means of his livelihood. Arrangements were therefore made for Leonard to enter in June, the shop of the Industrial Home for the Blind In Brooklyn which is doing notable work in vocational training for deaf-blind men. At the Home Leonard was welcomed by Robert Smithdas, a deaf -blind graduate of Perkins in 1945, who is living at the Industrial Home while attending St. John's University where he is on the Dean's List for high scholarship.

29

Three girls in the department terminated their work this year. The first is Gloria Shipman who, like Leonard, came from Missouri. Gloria has been at Perkins eleven years and is now twenty years of age. During these years she has developed good speech and while achieving a great deal of academic learning, she has shown unusual skill in homemaking. Gloria has also developed hand skills which can be employed in home industries or in a shel- tered shop. She has a well adjusted personality which enables her to face life with great cheer and competence. Another is Carmella Otero of New Jersey, now twenty-one and quite a contrast to Gloria in that she is small of stature and very shy. She has developed good speech and has made fine progress academically, but Is not as out-going as Gloria. Possessing a demure personality Carmella is deeply religious and might well find happiness, if it could be ar- ranged, in an institution of her church. The third pupil to termi- nate her career here is Janice Gonyea who, when she came to Per- kins in 1944, had partial sight but was totally deaf. She had not developed speech which was complicated by dental deficiencies. While at Perkins these were overcome, speech developed, and through operations her sight was restored to a point where she is no longer considered a blind child. Her family having moved from Massachusetts to New York, arrangements were made for her to enter a school for the deaf in that state. In place of these four, three new pupils have already been accepted for the coming year and it is hoped that more may be added during the year

In November the annual appeal was sent out to about 11,000 persons throughout the country. Once again a little calendar was sent with the appeal. This had a picture of Juanita, our attractive little girl from Colorado, talking with Barbara, a Massachusetts child whom we have been helping this year by visits to her home, and who will be a pupil of the school this coming year. The re- sponse to our appeal was again generous and for that we are grateful Fifteen hundred contributors gave a total of 51b,o»y.t>u. mile a personal letter of thanks was written to each contributor, we want again to convey our appreciation for what they have done to continue and to advance the work for our Children of the Silent Night.

Events of the Year The routine events of the year to which reference has previ- ously been made include many which are not covered by the reports

30

of the several school departments. These are of a general nature such as the conferences and retreats held over the first week-end in October and the first week-end in May by the Protestant and Catholic Guilds for the Blind. The Catholic boys went again to Campion Hall in Andover on both occasions, while the girls, as In previous years, held their retreats at the Cenacle in Brighton. The Protestant Guild planned for the girls to go to the Farrington Memorial Center in Lincoln, while a new plan was developed for the conduct of the boys' conferences in that they were held in the Town of Duxbury, with the Episcopal and Congregational churches co-operating with services within their buildings, and with the boys living in families in the community. These proved very happy innovations and the boys enjoyed this opportunity to visit in homes. All of the pupils came under the spiritual direction of qualified leaders. This does a great deal to enrich their lives and to strengthen their faith. We are indebted to the two guilds as well as to the Boston Aid for the Blind, who helped Jewish pupils, for these services, as well as for the provision made for religious instruction on Thursday afternoons throughout the school year.

Early events of the fall of special interest, were the annual reception for the staff held at the Director's house on October 15, and the visit to the school on October 28 of Tom Brenaman, who delighted the pupils with his line of chatter. The Educational Buyers Association, holding their annual fall meeting at M. I. T. and Simmons College, came to Perkins on October 29. Mr. Hemphill acted as host and the pupils sang. On November 9 girls of the Upper School went to the Boston Navy Yard and enjoyed visiting "Old Ironsides" and more modern ships of the Navy. On Novem- ber 5 a number of pupils attended a presentation of the "Barretts of Wimpole Street" by the Winchester Players. During the fall months the Community Fund was stressed and practically 100% of the staff and pupils of Perkins made a contribution of $858.40. Later $410.50 was contributed to the American Red Cross.

Two annual events in the month of November were the ob- servances of Founder's Day in the Lower School and Howe Day in the Upper School. At the former held on November 7 tribute was paid to Michael Anagnos, second Director of Perkins and founder of the kindergarten. A unique program was presented, during which the younger children walked in procession to the statue of Michael Anagnos in the Lower School quadrangle and placed floral offerings at its base, while the rest of the school sang

31

the "Founder's Song." The Howe memorial exercises in memory of the first Director were observed on his birthday, November 10, and followed the traditional pattern of recitations of events in the life of Samuel Gridley Howe, by members of the Howe Memorial Club with remembrances and appreciation this year by Henry H. Richards, grandson of Dr. Howe.

Thanksgiving was marked by a long week-end when nearly all pupils were able to go home. December was spent largely in preparing for the Christmas Concerts. There were also the annual Christmas parties held on Monday evening, December 15, in all of the cottages. The pupils left for the two weeks holiday after the Christmas Concert on December 19. The winter term was broken this year by a long week-end over Washington's Birthday, which coming on Sunday was observed on Monday. Most of the pupils went home Friday night, returning in time for school on Tuesday

morning.

Many recitals by individuals and groups in the Music Depart- ment were given during the winter term. A series of six confer- ences was held for the matrons under the leadership of the Direc- tor Dr Hayes and Miss Marshall, during which many problems were discussed. "The Housemothers' Guide" by Edith M. Stern was used as a text for these conferences. Other conferences of interest were those this winter by the Department of Personnel with the representatives of the several states sending pupils to Perkins. In these conferences the future plans and vocational ob- jectives of the pupils were discussed. Teas were held on Wednesday afternoons for the members of the staff and the Harvard Class at the Director's house.

The spring term is always one of much activity. There were recitals by pupils of the Music Department, and eleven one act plays, eight of which were in radio form, presented under the direction of Miss Claudia Potter. Several groups from outside of the school came in to hold meetings at Perkins. On April 27 the New England Association of Piano Tuners were the guests of the Piano Tuning Department under the leadership of Mr. Durfee. On May 7, Miss Marshall, our psychiatric social worker, was the hostess to the New England branch of the Psychiatric Association which held its spring meeting at Perkins. On the afternoon and eve- ning of May 24 the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Council of Organizations for the Blind was held. A supper was served followed

by a session at which the speaker was Michael J. Shortley, Head of the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation in Washington. On June 2, all of the cottages held their annual picnics at various resorts and beaches. On several afternoons during the spring term the boys were able to attend professional baseball games through the court- esy of the Red Sox, while on May 1, Victor Raschi, star pitcher for the New York Yankees, whose brother is a student at Perkins came to the school and talked to the pupils.

Graduation and Graduates

Graduation exercises were held on Tuesday afternoon, June 15. Dr. Reginald Fitz, President of the Corporation, presided, while the commencement address was made by the Rev. John Crocker, Litt. D., Headmaster of the Groton School, and the in- vocation was given by the Rev. L. Wendell Hughes, Minister of the First Unitarian Parish in Watertown. Four girls and three boys completed the requirements for graduation and diplomas were awarded to them. Manual Training Certificates for proficiency in that department were given to Dorothy H. Appleby and Esther A. Blanchette. A Commercial Department Certificate was given to Jeanne T. Bryan, one of the graduates who, during the summer, secured a position as Ediphonist and telephone operator at Sacred Heart College in Newton. Certificates of the Tuning Department were given to four young men including one of the boys from Greece. Nils A. Johanson and Francis E. Devino are building up businesses and the latter has organized a successful orchestra. The fourth in the department was Miguel Ruiz who came to Perkins on a national scholarship from Arizona, and recently reported that he is earning $50 a week at tuning in his home state.

One of the graduates was a young Greek, Panaghiotis Theo- doropoulos, who came from Greece in 1946 and in two years was able to complete three years of work which won for him a Perkins diploma. Two other young men from Greece have also spent two years at Perkins, and completed their work in June. Emanuel Kaphakis completed the Harvard Course and arrangements have been made for him to assume leadership in the School for the Blind near Athens. John Papazoglou, a young man of talent who studied music, also took the full piano tuning course and received a certificate as qualified to service and tune pianos. He is to es- tablish a tuning business and give instruction in that field in

Greece. Two other young blind men came from Greece at the same time as the three in Perkins, all under the auspices of the Amer- ican Friends of the Blind in Greece, and they spent the two years studying agriculture at the Barnes School for the Blind in New Hampshire. All five left New York for Greece late in July, and they will provide good trained leadership for the work for the blind in their homeland.

Former Perkins graduates have achieved success in the aca- demic world according to reports received during the year. On June 10 Albert Gayzagian was graduated from Harvard Univer- sity, magna cum laude, and elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Albert attended Perkins from kindergarten until he was transferred to the Watertown High School from which he grad- uated. William F. Gallagher, Perkins '43, received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Holy Cross in June. During the past year he was vice-president of the senior class. Edmund E. Berube, Jr., Perkins '46, was named to the Council of the class of 1950 at Brown University. Evan Rempel, Perkins '47, and now at the University of Montana, ranked among the first 100 students in the college of 3300 students.

Staff Changes There were more staff changes this year than last; seventeen resignations and two retirements, most of them taking place at the end of the year in June. The largest change was in the field of matrons. Two matrons, Mrs. Ruth E. Geer of Fisher Cottage in the Girls' Upper School and Miss Ethel M. Goodwin of Bradlee Cottage in the Lower School, terminated their work in June after serving twenty-one and twenty-five years respectively. They are the only two remaining matrons who were in service when the present administration began seventeen years ago. Their years of devoted service are deeply appreciated. Mrs. Florence B. Rob* ison will act as Matron in Bradlee Cottage, and Miss Judith G. Sil- vester, for several years connected with the Deaf-Blind Depart- ment will assume the matronship of Fisher Cottage, which is to be used entirely by that department. Mrs. Margaret Fairweather, who has been at Potter Cottage for a year, resigned, and Mrs. Janet G. Hancock, who has been Matron of Anagnos since 1936, gave up her work in that cottage to assume the matronship of Moulton Cottage in the Boys' Upper School, taking the place of

34

Mrs. Frieda Jablonske who has resigned. Mrs. Fairweather's place will be taken by Miss Marie A. Carter, and Mrs. Beatrice Wakefield will succeed Mrs. Hancock. This makes three new matrons in the Lower School group.

Marriage was the reason for the resignations of the following group of young women: Miss Marion Hosken and Miss Gertrude D. Seibert, teachers in the Lower School; Miss Janet H. Chick and Miss Caroline H. Gray in the Girls' Upper School. Other resigna- tions included Miss Beverley Havener, assistant in the Bursar's office; Miss Beatrice F. Pinkham, teacher of physical education in the Girls' Upper School; George Faulkner and Miss Elizabeth C. Hart, teachers of music; Miss Mary F. Davies, Miss Linda L. Mosher and Miss Bertha Feinberg, teachers in the Lower School; and Frank Hilliard, teacher of caning. Miss Marjorie Potter, res- ident Nurse, resigned to go overseas to work in a camp for dis- placed children under the American Unitarian Association. She is now engaged in this work in Germany. Miss Mary H. Ferguson, who has completed twenty-seven years of teaching in the Girls' Upper School and in recent years headed the Commercial Depart- ment, gave up her work under the Perkins Retirement Plan.

New staff members for the coming year include Miss Margaret F. Bishop, graduate of Massachusetts General Hospital Nursing School as resident Nurse; Miss Adeline Dale, Jamestown College '42, teacher of physical education in the Lower School; Miss Margaret G. Bigelow, Bridgewater Teachers' College, '47, teacher of physical ed- ucation in the Girls' Upper School; Samuel E. Price, University of Massachusetts '48, teacher of physical education and poultry. Boys' Upper School; Miss Nancy C. Jones, Wheelock College '48, and Miss J. Elizabeth Andrews, Mt. Holyoke '48, Kindergarten teachers; Miss Winifred G. Ellis, Mt. Holyoke '13, teacher of commercial subjects; Miss Marion K. Liversidge, Modern School of Fashion and Design '47, teacher of sewing and practical arts; Bernard P. Bar- beau, New England Conservatory of Music '48, voice teacher; Miss Betty Jane Wenzel, New England Conservatory of Music '48, teacher of music in the Lower School; Maurie Edelstein, Indiana University '48, part-time assistant in psychology; Mrs. Julia Edel- stein, assistant in the Library; Mrs. Patricia M. Huddleston, West- ern Michigan College '48, craft teacher in the Deaf-Blind Depart- ment; Miss Audrey White and Miss Dorothy Reynolds, attendants

35

in that department, and Miss Jacqueline L. McNally, assistant in the business office. Miss Marion A. Woodworth, who has been employed in the Library has been transferred to the administra- tion offices as Registrar.

The enrollment of the school as of October 1, 1948 was 243 compared with 258 a year ago. Last year we were carrying on the roll fifteen pupils who had been transferred to schools in their home communities. This year there are eight such pupils makmg the number in residence 235 compared with 243 last year. This shows a drop of eight, but before October closed seven pupils de- layed in entering were admitted, bringing the total to 242 or one below last year. During the year 46 pupils were added and 54 were discharged. The reasons for discharge were: graduated — 7; completed scholarships — 3 ; completed post-graduate work — 4; completed other training — 8; transferred to public schools or sight-saving classes — 21; ceased to progress — 7; withdrew vol- untarily— 2; withdrew on account of illness — 2.

The 235 pupils enrolled October 1, 1948 are divided as follows: Massachusetts — 129; Maine — 29; New Hampshire — 15 ; Rhode Island — 24; Vermont — 14; and from other states — 24. This year we have students from three foreign countries — China, Haiti and Mexico, and from sixteen states other than New England — Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Washington.

New Library Facilities

The last Annual Report and several previous reports cited the great need for more space for the Perkins Library, which not only serves the school, but is one of the twenty-six distributing libra- ries for the books furnished to the adult blind through the Library of Congress. This work through the years has grown to such an extent, that the available facilities were far from adequate. It was thought at the time that there was no way in which more space could be provided within the present Howe Building. Studies had been made for a new and separate library building, which would not only provide space for the books-recorded, embossed and in mk- print, but would also give other needed facilities such as a recrea- tion center for the staff, rooms for the Harvard Class and Talking

36

Book reading, and space for the extension of the Museum and for research.

The plans for a new building had actually been prepared, and the Trustees had reached a point of readiness to proceed with con- struction, when a new solution for the whole problem was discovered. This new plan was approved at the June meeting of the Trustees, and authorization given for the necessary construction and changes. The work began at the close of the school, and has proceeded through the summer vacation. The needed space for the library books was ready at the opening of school, although the finishing touches, and some of the facilities for other purposes were not fully completed, but by the time this report is published they will surely be ready and will be fully functioning.

The space needed to shelve more books was provided by taking out the reading tables between stacks in the present library; moving the old stacks closer together in the front two-thirds of the library, and installing in the rear third a steel balcony. Metal stacks on the floor and balcony levels provide space for 25,000 ad- ditional volumes. The chief difficulty in making these changes was in continuing to serve efficiently our readers outside of the school. It would happen that during this time the demand for books reached a new high. During the year the circulation of books totaled 34,728 volumes of which 26,324 were outside the school. This figure divides into 18,802 recorded sets and 7,522 em- bossed volumes, showing the rising ascendency of Talking Book use. The main library accessioned 309 sets of Talking Books and 1,116 volumes of embossed books, while the Lower School branch library added 312 volumes. The library gave away 441 volumes to China, Japan, the Philippines, Jerusalem, Greece and Holland.

To secure reading space and to get much needed study halls, two new rooms are being erected on terraces at the rear of the Howe Building. One adjoins the library and the other Dwight Hall. These extensions will provide attractive rooms, ninety by eighteen feet, with windows on one long side overlooking the river. The rooms are adequate to accommodate the boys and the girls of the Upper School. Facilities are being installed for Talking Book reading and recording. These are still under construction. A fuller description will be postponed until the next report.

Other changes necessary to gain facilities planned for the new building have been made in the Howe Building. The Harvard Class

37

will occupy the former girls' assembly room. The Board room and Director's office, has been furnished as a comfortable lounge for the staff members, with an adjoining room equipped with a combina- tion gas stove, refrigerator, sink and other facilities for serving refreshments. The group of rooms recently used by the Deaf -Blind Department has been completely re-designed to provide offices for the administrative and educational staff with space for the cen- tralization of the files and records. This change has made more space available in the corresponding wing on the other side, for the business offices, needed because of the transfer of many of the business functions from the Treasurer's office in Boston to the office of the Bursar in Watertown. In addition, the bookkeeping of the Howe Memorial Press and the Workshop will also be centralized in Watertown.

The Deaf-Blind Department classrooms which were in the space now appropriated by the offices, are to be in Fisher Cottage, where for two or three years the deaf-blind girls have been living. The small enrollment in the Girls' Upper School has made it pos- sible to assign this whole cottage for the Deaf-Blind Department. A study of enrollment indicates that this space can be occupied for two or three years. For several years the boys in the Lower School outnumbered the girls. When this balance is readjusted, it will be necessary to find other quarters for the Deaf-Blind Department as the Girls' Upper School will then need all four cottages. It has been proposed that when this time comes, the Director's house be made the Deaf-Blind center, as it lends itself admirably to that purpose, and that a smaller and more modern house be provided for the Director and his family.

The Workshop and The Press

The Workshop in South Boston has had a good year although it was not as active as the year before because fewer mattresses were received for re-making. Four thousand and ninety-four mattresses were re-made, and one thousand, two hundred and ninety-two chairs were re-caned. This gave employment to twenty- two blind persons who, under the new plan of adding to piece rates, supplementary payments on the basis of the cost-of-living index, earned substantial compensation for their work. Mr. Bryan, the Manager, was ill for several weeks during the year, but other members of the staff carried on the work in an effective way.

38

Because of his illness and the fact that he was past the retirement age, Mr. Bryan has been led to feel that the time has come for his retirement. During the forty years he has been associated with the shop, Mr. Bryan has given able leadership to this work and has devoted his whole life to the blind. To take up Mr. Bryan's work Perkins is fortunate in securing Fred G. Marsh, who brings to the position as Manager of the Workshop a wide business experi- ence, and a human interest in people. He joined the staff on Aug- ust 15, while Mr. Bryan relinquishes his work and goes on retire- ment on October 1, 1948.

In addition to managing the Workshop, Mr. Bryan has been the efficient director of the Howe Memorial Press, and is one of the world's greatest authorities on technical aspects of Braille. Mr. Bryan was the first person to introduce interpoint Braille, and had a large part in the transition of stereotyping from foot operated machines to the present efficient electrically operated machines. In the report of two years ago it was announced that Edward J. Wat- erhouse would begin to assume management of the Howe Mem- orial Press. During this year he has been in charge of the Appli- ance Department, which, as announced in the report of last year, was moved from South Boston to new facilities in Watertown. The stereotyping and printing operations of the Howe Press have con- tinued at South Boston under the direction of Mr. Bryan, and more pages were embossed and m.ore printing done than in any previous year. During the year 812,261 pages of embossed literature were printed. This included nineteen books in sixty volumes for the Li- brary of Congress, and the textbooks and music for Perkins and other schools. "The Lantern" and other periodicals were also embossed in Braille by the Howe Press.

The chief activity of the Howe Press during this year has been the preparation for the production of the Perkins Brailler, the newly developed writing device which has been received with great favor, and which is awaited by many Braille writers. This Brailler has, as was explained in the report of last year, many new features never before incorporated in a machine for embossed writing. In the tooling and the preparing for the production, Perkins has been joined by the American Foundation for the Blind, which has agreed to substitute this new Brailler for the writer which it formerly produced. Tooling has been unexpectedly difficult and the securing

39

of materials has been a factor in delaying the progress. It was expected that at the end of this year Braille writers would be m production, but now it looks as if they would not be ready until the close of the coming year. Mr. Waterhouse had the Braille writer on exhibition at the convention of the American Association of Work- ers for the Blind in St. Paul, Minnesota in July, and at several conferences of home teachers. Wherever it has been demonstrated, it has been received with loud acclaim, and when it is finally pro- duced it will be with the hope that Perkins has made a great con- tribution in this device. ^

One of the most interesting activities of the Howe Memorial Press is the publishing of what is known as the BraUle Map- of-the-Month, initiated in December 1937 by Mr. Waterhouse. A map issued in May was the one hundredth map produced in the series and to mark that event the Howe Press offered a prize for the best essay, open to all blind high school pupils, on the subject -What the Braille Map-of-the-Month teaches me." This prize was won by Jon van Demark of the eighth grade Braille class in the Sheridan High School in Minneapolis. The May Map-of-the-Month embossed with dots and lines depicted the countries of western Europe and the accompanying text told of the Marshall Plan. These maps have been increasingly welcomed as the years go on, and the circulation now totals 560 maps a month sent to eighteen countries.

Extending The Horizon The Harvard Class continued its usual courses sponsored by the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University and con- ducted at Perkins. While the class was smaller than it was m pre- war years, it showed the very wide representation in its member- ship which is growingly characteristic of this group. Of the eight members, one-half came from foreign countries: Puerto Rico, Greece, Haiti and British Guiana. Of the other four members three were young women from Scripps College, California, West- minster College, Pennsylvania and the Yale School of Music. The fourth member was a teacher in a sight-saving class m the Fall River Schools, who came up each week-end for the lectures. A voung man employed in the Veterans Administration Office m Boston joined the class for the second half year. The usual course of lectures, demonstrations and observations of work were carried

40

out chiefly under the leadership of Dr. Hayes, with the Director giving a number of lectures, and Dr. Allen, Director Emeritus, giving his usual series of historical talks. Although in his eighty- sixth year. Dr. Allen, who founded the course twenty-eight years ago, still lectures with vigor and conviction.

While the Harvard Class is one of the chief mediums of ex- tending the horizons of those who live at Perkins, we are also fortunate in having many visitors from different countries. This year has brought visitors from Africa, Australia, China, Eygpt, England, Greece, Palestine, Peru and Sweden. Some come only for a day while others stay longer. A few of them speak to the school. During the spring our pupils had the advantage of having mesages from Dr. Emma Zaludok, Head of the School for the Blind in Jerusalem on April 7; from Victor Raul Haya de la Torre, one of the great leaders of Peru, who addressed the school on April 28 ; from Bishop Haworth of China, who was passing through this country on his way to England with a group of Chinese leaders on May 7; from Mr. S. W. Hedger, head of the work for the blind in Melbourne, Australia, who spent several days at Perkins, and spoke to the pupils on May 31. Mrs. Putman, who receives visitors and shows them about the school, reports that during the year there have been over 800 visitors, including persons from fourteen for- eign countries, eleven hospitals, eighteen colleges and schools, and that thirty-four clubs have sent groups to visit the school.

Losses Through Death

Death has taken a heavy toll among our people this year, al- though fortunately there were none among our pupils or active staff members. One of our former staff members, Elwyn H. Fowler, passed away on July 29. Mr. Fowler was graduated from. Perkins in 1889. In 1911 he became head of the Pianoforte Tuning Department and retired in 1945. While Mr, Fowler did a fine work in training young men, perhaps his greatest contribution to the cause of the blind, was his active participation in the "battle of the types" which waged for nearly a century in the effoi't to secure uniform type. Mr. Fowler played a leading part in the victory in 1932, while his late wife also made a notable contribution as secretary of the committee.

Another early graduate who passed away this year was Mrs. Mabel Brown Spencer who died on February 12 in the Memorial

41

Home, Worcester, founded by the late Mrs. Fowler. Mrs. Spencer entered Perkins in 1875, one year before the death of Dr. Howe and left certified as a teacher of music in 1883. She was the next to the last surviving pupil who knew the first Director. Death of another former student was that of Professor Charles H. Amadon, who passed away in York, Nebraska on June 6. Professor Amadon was graduated from Perkins in 1900 and from the New England Conservatory of Music in 1906. For thirty-four years he had been the successful and beloved Dean of the Conservatory of Music at York College. Many tributes were paid to him by members of the college community, and the recreation room in a new dormitory under construction is being named in his memory.

Death deprived Perkins of an active worker through the death on May 16 of Mrs. Mabel Knowles Gage of Worcester. Mrs. Gage had been a most devoted Trustee of Perkins since 1933, a bene- factor and officer of the National Braille Press, and one of the early Trustees of the American Foundation for the Blind. Through- out her life, Mrs. Gage took a personal and beneficent interest in the blind, and was always generous in good works on their behalf. Another death which must be reported, was that of Mrs. Maude Howe Elliott on March 19. Living to the age of ninety-three, one can only rejoice over her long and rich life. Mrs. Elliott was the last surviving daughter of the first Director. Samuel Gridley Howe and his wife, Julia Ward Howe. Her death breaks the last tie with the original generation of the founders of Perkins. Throughout her life, Mrs. Elliott retained a close relationship with our school. Until advancing years made it impossible, she came year after year from her home in Newport to the Howe Memorial Exercises held annually at the school. Mrs. Elliott always referred to herself as a true child of Perkins, as she was born within the old Institution in South Boston, whereas all the other Howe daughters were born outside the Institution.

An event of the year associated with the first Director was the observance of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Walter G. Fernald School, now located in Waverley, which adjoins Water- town. The anniversary exercises were part of the Convention of the American Society for Mental Hygiene and the Second Inter- national Conference on Mental Hygiene which was being held in Boston. Tribute was paid at the exercises to Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, as the Fernald School looks upon him as its Founder. Not

42

long after Dr. Howe established Perkins, the first school for the blind, and had achieved great success in the education of Laura Bridgman, he turned his attention to other unfortunate children. Believing that more effective work could be done with the mentally retarded or "idiots," as they were called in that day, he gathered a small group in the portion of Perkins which was assigned for the Director's residence, and began exploring new methods of train- ing. In 1847, the legislature recognized the work being done by Dr. Howe, and made an appropriation for the building of a separate structure not far from Perkins as the home for his new venture. Some time later, under the leadership of Dr. Fernald, the large and beautiful plant in Waverley was built, and in recognition of his constructive leadership the school was given his name. There is a certain irony in the fact that the two schools founded by Dr. Howe, each the first of its kind, should bear the names of other men. Despite this fact, it can truly be said that within these schools, and quoting the words of the famous "Battle Hymn" wr.'tten by his distinguished wife, "His soul goes marching on."

Activities of the Director

The Director has, through the year, continued to serve on the several Boards of national organizations for the blind on which he represents Perkins. One group in which there has been a special interest this year is the American Foundation for Overseas Blind, of which he is a director and member of the Executive Com- mittee. This Foundation, created to take over the program and activities of the American Braille Press for War and Civilian Blind in France, maintains a Paris office and staff, and is now en- gaged in an extensive program of assisting organizations for the blind throughout Europe to reestablish their work. The Director was asked to join a small group headed by Helen Keller to visit organized work for the blind, beginning in Japan and reaching through the Far East, the Near East and down through the Med- iterranean. Because of the demands of work here, it was not pos- sible to take on this interesting opportunity. Perkins, however, continues to carry on a heavy correspondence with workers for the blind throughout the world, and in many cases is able to help with supplies and with counsel.

Coming back to local affairs, it may be reported that the Direc- tor has acted for a second year as President of the Massachusetts

43

Council of Organizations for the Blind. The Council has had regular quarterly meetings and acts as a clearing house for the many public and private agencies in the Commonwealth. The Council this year has been stressing the importance of rehabilita- tion work, and has been seeking ways to help the State Division of the Blind to enlarge its program in this area. Arthur F. Sulli- van, Perkins '05, has been for five years, the Director of the Divi- sion of the Blind, and during the summer was appointed by the Governor for another five-year term. The Massachusetts legisla- ture in May passed a resolution, introduced by Representative George Green, a former student of Perkins, setting up a Recess Commission to study the program for the blind in this state, and to make recommendations if new legislation is found essential. Early in the year, the Director prepared the article on Blind- ness for the "Encyclopedia of Social Work," and later he wrote the lead article for the June issue of the "Outlook for the Blind" which was commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the American Foundation for the Blind. This article was on "The Foundation and Education." During the winter he wrote two chapters of the book, "Blindness in the Modern World" to be published by the National Research Council. Quarterly, "The Lantern" has been edited and published as it has been now for seventeen years. The more recent issues are an improvement over the ones during the war, because it is possible to get a better grade of paper. The response to "The Lantern" is very gratifying to those who prepare it. Perkins' former students and many other blind people appreciate greatly, according to their reports, the Braille edition. The ink-print edition, which goes to schools and workers for the blind throughout the world, and to many other in- terested people, also brings a response for which we are most grate- ful. An interesting aspect of the appreciation of "The Lantern" has been the portions of it which are re-printed in publications in our field both in this country and abroad. Mrs. G. Pisart, a worker in The Lighthouse in New York City, while traveling in France wrote, "I saw a copy of 'The Lantern' at the school in Bordeaux. 'What a thrill it gave me!' "

In October, the Director and Dr. Samuel P. Hayes, Head of the Department of Research and Personnel, attended a three-day conference on Vocational Guidance for the Blind, called by the

44

United States Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, and conducted at the University of Michigan by the Department of Social Adjust- ment. At this conference, papers on many aspects of the rehabili- tation and adjustment of the blind were presented, and will be pub- lished later. Dr. Hayes presented a valuable paper on Intelligence and Aptitude Testing, and the Director read a paper on "Commun- ity and Family Problems." Dr. Hayes' paper has been enlarged to be a chapter in the forth-coming book, "Blindness in the Modern World."

Perkins was well represented at the convention of the Amer- ican Association of Instructors of the Blind held in Austin, Texas, June 21 to 25, 1948. Thirteen staff members made the journey to Texas, and a review of the program shows that eleven Perkins peo- ple had papers or reports. At the convention, Mr. Francis M. Andrews was elected President. Now Superintendent of the Mary- land School for the Blind, he was for seventeen years Principal of Perkins.

Preparing the Annual Report is in itself a writing job involv- ing some research and providing opportunity for building up good public relations. While we must be factual, we want to tell the story of the year's happenings in a way that will command interest and reward readers for the time spent. Some years there are notable events or even dire incidents which give color, but for the most part it is the same old story. But that is life, and perhaps should be the record of a school stabilized and moving onward for one hundred and eighteen years. Our greatest satisfaction in ful- filling this writing task is that apparently many people read the report, and some even take the time to write and tell us so.

Each pupil had a physical examination, urinalysis, hemoglobin, blood pressure, examination for and removal of wax from the ears, and height and weight measurements every three months.

Widals were done on all food handlers not having had the test previously at Perkins Institution.

This year we immunized every student in the Lower School against diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus. All new pupils who had not been vaccinated were immunized against small pox.

Wassermann tests were done on all new pupils.

Sixty-five visits were made to the Massachusetts General Hospital to the various specialized medical and surgical clinics there.

47

Three hospital admissions have been arranged for during the summer, two for surgery and one for neurological study.

The children are to be congratulated on their good health this year. There was very little contagion, and most of the days lost from school were due to the 143 upper respiratory infections and 60 gastro-intestinal disturbances suffered during the year.

PHYSICAL THERAPY DEPARTMENT

The Physical Therapy Department has striven to meet the orthopedic needs of the students through special mechanotherapy treatments, infra-red treatments, and massages. Weekly ultra- violet treatments have helped improve and maintain the general health of the students.

48

This year, with the cooperation of the Physical Education teachers of the Lower School and Boys' Upper School, we started a general posture training program with the Glover girls and the Potter boys.

This summer George Shola is to have an operation which is expected to give him full range of motion of his left elbow.

Dorothy DeAngelis is to go to the Massachusetts General Hospital this summer for a new knee caliper brace for her right leg.

In December Dr. Ober examined all the new students, and in March he examined those who had been having special corrective work during the year.

WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS

THE RESULTS of the year's operations were disappointing in that fewer mattresses were received with a consequent loss in sales, and the regular wage adjustments given to offset increases in the cost of living made the loss for the year $6,344.06. The manager was away a good portion of the year due to illness, but all our workers are to be commended for the admirable way in which they carried on. Our new manager, Mr. Fred G. Marsh, will soon take command, and we hope for him every success in our depart- ment.

The operations in the Howe Press exceeded our expectations, as more pages were embossed and more printing done than in any previous year. Mr. Waterhouse, manager of the Howe Press, writes: "The Appliance Department in Watertown expanded its facilities, and in addition to manufacturing the usual devices and games, devoted much time to tooling for the Perkins Brailler and manufacturing some of its parts. Production schedule is far be- hind expectations but it is expected that the first of the 2,000 machines being built v/ill be assembled late this year."

The following is a summary of the work done and wages paid in the Workshop Department during the fiscal years 1947 and 1948:

Mattresses rscsived from institutions, etc. 2.413 2,493

Mattresses received from individuals 2,078 1,637

Total mattresses received 4,491 4,130

Mattresses received through the Division of

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS

To the Trustees of

Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind Boston, Massachusetts

We have examined the balance sheet as at August 31, 1948 of Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind (not includ- ing Howe Memorial Press Fund) and the related statements of Reserve Fund for Depreciation, of income and expenses and of income and expenses of the Works Department, all for the year ended August 31^ 1948. We have also examined the balance sheet as at August 31, 1948 of Howe Memorial Press Fund and the related statement of income and expenses for the year then ended. In connection therewith we reviewed the accounting procedures of the Institution and the Howe Memorial Press Fund and, without making a detailed audit of the transactions, have examined or tested accounting records and other supporting evidence by methods and to the extent we deemed appropriate.

We received confirmation from depositaries with respect to the investment securities recorded as owned by the Institution and by the Howe Memorial Press Fund as at August 31, 1948, audited all changes in investments during the year then ended and satisfied ourselves that investment income receivable during the year was duly received.

During the year ended August 31, 1947 the Trustees passed the following votes:

(1) To record on the books of the Institution a new account called the Securities Income Reserve Fund. This account is to be used to accumulate from September 1, 1947 the excess of income received from investments over income allocated each year to the various funds. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1948 such excess amounted to $15,812.87.

(2) To record on the books of the Institution the new account called the Undistributed Profit on Investments Sold. This account is to be used to accumulate from September 1, 1947 the profits or losses realized on sale of any of the Institution's investments. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1948 a profit of $190,882.89 was realized on investments sold, which profit was credited to this amount.

(3) To consolidate the operating accounts of the Institution and Kindergarten Departments. This change is reflected in the attached statement of income and expenses (Exhibit C).

As at August 31, 1948 the Trustees voted to charge the deficit for the year then ended against the Reserve Fund for Depreciation as shown in Exhibit B.

In our opinion the accompanying financial statements present fairly, on the basis indicated above, the position of the Institution and of the Howe Memorial Press Fund at August 31, 1948 and the results- of their operations for the fiscal year then ended.
