. Blind Deaf . The to which Dr. Irons replied, He would he a sad Blind-Deaf botcher who could not make a good job with suchmaterial.

But nobodyis justified in magnifying his profession at the costof disseminating dangerous nonsense. It is cruel,as well as absurd, to stick ones head into the sandto avoid seeing the proved fact that Helen is aprodigy, for it loads down other teachers of theblind-deaf with the weight of mistaken feeling,that if they only could pursue such methods as MissSullivans, they would make Helen Kellers of theirpupils. I am quite certain that Miss Sullivan willgo as far as I do in scouting such preposterouserror. W.
