SPECIAL TYPEWRITER AIDS SIGHT
Over 400 Sight-Conservation Classes Use Machine*.
With Large-Sised Type to Save Sight of
6,000 Handicapped Children
TWENTY-THREE years ago the first two sight-conservation
classes in the United States made a modest beginning. One in
Boston, the other in Cleveland. Today more than MX) such dassc
are sending out hundreds of graduates annually, who, without thi
aid. would be among the handicapped and dependent.
Thm tjp? of children are elM
gible for these classes: tbooo with
permanently low vision. those with
tbooe vho>e vision may
deteriorate under normal school
conditions. A system of education
Is employed which combines both
visual and tactile methods. Thus,
while a child doee all visual work
In special croupe, his oral lessons
are conducted with the rest of his
class who have normal sight. In
this way he doee not run the risk
of emotional upset by being made
to feel himself handicapped.
In Detroit. Cincinnati and other
cities the school system provides
vocational guidance to help the
student after graduation. This
service cooperates with oculists,
and a list of all occupations sue
cessfully carried on by former stu
dents with deficient eye-sight Is
kept for the benefit of new gradu
ates.
Special Rye-tiavtag Equipment
One of the moot Important
pieces of equip moot In these
classes is the typewriter with
large-sited, or "bulletin" type. As
soon as the child reaches the 3rd
or 4tb grade he Is taught the
touch system. Thereafter all of
his themes and written work are
done on the typewriter.
The use of these Remingtons
has resulted in such rapid ad
vancement of the pupils that many
progressive schools have adopted
the use of the typewriter for
regular classroom work, beginning
