American Diversity versus British Compactness

Abstract

[Mr. S. O. Myers, Principal of Condover Hall School for the Blind in England, visited schools for the blind in America last year, and subsequently wrote reports of his observations in The New Beacon. We have received generous permission to reprint that part of his observations in which he compares American and British methods of educating blind children. This is from the January 25, 1954, issue of The New Beacon.

Mr. Myers notes that what he has to say is quite personal and that another visitor here “might reach far different conclusions.” He deals with differences in set-up in the two countries and also with similarities.—Editor]
