HELEN KELLER’S WORK.
y ' ' . .../
Mka Stal*>4 Mmm>y Forth. Kdncatlo. of •
Boy Afflicted Uko HmmlL
Anjiffootlng story to told by William T.
Ellin la 8t Nicholas under the title of
“Helen Keller and Tommy Stringer.”
Mr. Ellis says:
A little child lived In black eUenoe.
Thera never was midnight so dense as the
tarknees that enveloped his mind. Sight
and hearing were gone utterly and for
ever. The child knew absolutely nothing,
except that sometimes from somewhere
Something put food Into his mouth and
moved him about when necessary. His
world was limited by as much of his little
crib as he could feel with his hands and
by the touch of this something that cared
for his wants.
The merest babe knows the sunlight
and its mother’s voice and face. Five
years had passed over this little boy as he
lay on his hospital cot, but he know less
than a month old infant—less indeed than
the least of the beasts of the field. He was
completely shut up in a living tomb ,of
flesh, with no communication between
himself and the great world about him.
Yet within that prison was a healthy
brain, open to all the possibilities of life.
Since the terrible sickness that had como
to him in infancy, little Tommy Stringer
hart lain thus among strangers. His
mother was dead. His father could not
help him. From his birthplace In Wash
ington, Pa., the helpless sufferer had been
removed to a hospital in Alleghany. But
no institution wanted this troublesome
charge, who would require the constant
attention of n teacher. Bo the almshouse
seemed the only haven for Tommy. There
at least ho could find a shelter.
But it was not to be so. Light was
ahead—the glorious light of knowledge.
One who had been similarly shut in by
the walls of a triple affliction was to lead
Tommy Stringer.out into the bright light
that she herself enjoyed. It was during
the summer of 1890 that the qev.s of
Tommy’s sad plight came to Helen Koller.
The sensitive soul of this 10-year-old girl
woe deeply affected. She, K no one else,
would save the poor boy.
Thenceforth Tommy became the burden
of Helen’s thought and conversation. She
talked about him to her friends. She
wrote fetter upon letter asking aid for
him. At this time occurred a pathetic in
cident that was the means of turning to
ward the little blind boy the kindly inter
est and generous gifts that accomplished
his rescue.
The ix>t and playmate of Helen when
she was' at home was a beautiful New
foundland dog. Through a foolish- blun
der, this animal was shot by a policeman.
When the news came to Helen, she had no
word of reproach, but simply said, with
beautiful charity, “I am sure they never
could have done it if they had only known
what a dear, good dog Lioness was. ”
The story of her low was published
widely, and from far and near—even from
across the ocean—came to Helen offers of
money or another dog. The little girl had
only one answer to all these kind expres
sions. She was grateful, but she did not
care for another dog to take the place of
Lioness. Nevertheless the gift would be
accepted, if the donor so desired, on behalf
of a little deaf, dumb and blind boy, for
whom she was trying to raise money
enough to bring him to Boston to be edu
cated.
In evety direction Helen sent this mes
sage, always in a ■specially written person
al letter that was marked by the sweet
simplicity and remarkable ability of the.
author. For a long time these letters
averaged eight a day, and a marvelously
versatile and eloquent little pleader Helen
showed herself. She also wrote for news
paper articles addressed to children, as
well as general appeals—never any two
precisely alike. Helen instituted for her
self a rigorous course of self denial (absti
nence from soda water and other prized
luxuries), that she might save money for
her one great object. The result of all this
effort was the securing of sufficient funds
to Insure Tommy at ileast two years of ed
ucation at the Kindergarten For the Blind,
Jamaica Plain, Mass. ,“ •
