~, stated in a previou l' port, I do not believe that pecial cbools honld atteml t to follo" slavishly the cour e of tudy pI' cribe 1 for sio'hted chillren, hut that th se cour. e:" hould h mo lifted to
13

meet the p cial ne d of the tud nt who find it nece ary to att nd p cia I chool. The COUI' e of
tudy bould be a flexible a po ibl, both a to ubject and a to the ope of the work in a h ubject. Th pupil hould be de'velope 1 a a eparate and di tin t individual, and not a one of a mob. Blind, children work more lowly a a rule, than eeinO" children of th am OTa Ie', and they arTy on a more vari d lin of a tiYitie, 'Io allow flexibility of 'CUlTi ulum, require a iJetter teacltino' force than i require 1 in . hool y tem wh re everything i worked out accor~hng to a printe 1 yllabu, both a to ~ ubject and the number of page in each. ubjeet, a. if every teach r WeI' like ev ry other teacher, and every pupil lik v ry oth l' pupil. Thi method tend to tamp out individuality in the teacher, and to prevent it in the pupil. It i O"ood whe1'ev l' the teacher are too in xp ri nc 1 to he ri k d a to their ju lO'ement of a child' capaC'it~, and the mean by which that capa ity may be mo t u ce fully incr a ed.

Thi mean that to have pupils d "eloped a,' indi\'ic1ual , it i nece ary to hav teaclJer. who ar indi\-iclual:, who re pect the indi\'ic1uality of their pupil, and permit and ncourage th ill to grow along th lin of their natural tal nt an 1 mo t pl'omi.'in o' opportunit r, u h teacher are not numerou , and for that rea on are omewhat expert ive, hut to l' fuse to furni. h th m to
