Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Helen Keller Souvenir, 1892-1899: Commemorating the Harvard Final Examination for Admission to Radcliffe College, June 29-30, 1899
The great problem that confronts us in this country is, how to impart to the deaf a knowledge of idiomatic English. It must be admitted by all who have come in contact with Helen Keller that this problem has been solved in the case of at least one deaf child, not yet twelve years of age; and I therefore agree with the Opinion expressed in the May number Of the silent educator, that teachers of the deaf should study very carefully the method of instruction pursued in the case of Helen Keller. The difficulty of the problem must have been enormously increased in her case, by the fact that she has been totally blind, as well as deaf, from infancy. On the other hand, her unusual intellectual abilities have been of undoubted advantage.
