. Blind Deaf . ther recognized the necessity that the child,hedged about as she was by her infirmities, shouldbe made amenable to authority, and succeeded inestablishing some degree of restraint over the littlecreature. Yet it was an untamed little bird, whoseflutterings against the bars of her imprisonmentwere often wild, to whom the doois of the Kinder-garten for the Blind, at Jamaica Plain, Mass., wereopened in December, 1900. Her manner was fre-quently rude and repellent, and she proffered nocaresses or signs of affection. Her pretty face worea sad expression which was most unchildlike andfull of pathos.
