Excerpt from Fifteenth Biennial Report of the Wisconsin School for the Blind for the Biennial Period Ending June 30, 1912 The Legislature of 1911 made provision for building a new dining room and kitchen, but, as the Board knows, when we advertised for bids last fall, although two separate trials were made, the appropria tion was found inadequate and the building was postponed until an additional appropriation could be made. In our recommendations we have asked that an additional appropriation of be made to complete this work and to provide for equipping same. With the increased enrollment in our attendance the dormitory capacity of the institution has been reached, and if we are to make the further effort which we ought to make in order to bring to the school those in the state who are in need of special education, we will require additional room for such purposes. All recent buildings erected for institutions for the blind are changing the plan from main building to cottage systems. There is no question but this is more logical and pedagogical than the housing of children of all ages in one building. We have therefore thought it wise to ask for an appropria tion of for the purpose of building a cottage Of this kind. We think that this sum would be sufficient to build a cottage large enough to accommodate from 20 to 30 people and to provide all modern conveniences, including proper play room, living room and study room.

Excerpt from Report of the Wisconsin School for the Blind: For the Biennial Period Ending June 30, 1908 Although there must of necessity be much similarity in the biennial report of this Institution, as well as the other institu tions under your control, ive are glad to avail ourselves of the opportunity to give to the public a brief account of what has transpired concerning the work and progress of our people during the past two years. The one thing to be regretted most is that the information embodied in these various reports comes before the eye of but few of the citizens of our state, who, we are con. Vinced, are sadly lacking in their knowledge of what is being accomplished in our institutions. Pity 'tis, 'tis true, for this fact is largely responsible for the prejudice so deeply seated in the minds of so many persons against institutions in general That this prejudice results primarily in the lowering of the educational standard, and secondarily in the increase of cost, and responsibility on. The part of the state in caring for its afflicted classes cannot be seriously questioned. One is-fur nished much food for thought and reflection along these lines, when apparently intelligent people ask our pupils, while they are en route to and from their homes, if they have windows in the school building, and even manifest surprise when they learn that we actually have lights, and that the pupils do not have to be fed and led around to their classes and other places. In ferentially it is not strange that we are frequently referred to as an asylum, or home, instead of a school. We wish some method could be followed, whereby the people of our state ll'iscomin School for the Blind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Board of Education of the Blind: Fiscal Year Ending September 30th, 1903-1904 Still another young man whose sight left him in a day sup ports himself and his little girl who left motherless at the age of two years. She is seven now and is a bright little pupil in the public school. I would take pleasure in here recording other cases who have made a success of one or more trades acquired in the Connecticut Institute, but trust these few illustrations will be convincing, and they must be when compared with the victim of darkness and idle ness, that monotony which paralyzes and kills.
