Excerpt from The American Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Ophthalmology, Vol. 9: Institutions for the Blind to Lemotes

It was soon recognized by educators of the blind that it was unwise to have adults mingle with children, so that gradually the department for adults was separated from the rest Of the institution, and almost all of the state schools for the blind were devoted principally to the education of blind youth.

Strange as it may seem, no general movement swept over the country during the nineteenth century for the training and care Of the adult blind, such as manifested itself for the education of blind children. There were, however, notable exceptions in several states of which mention ought to be made. Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, who is recog nized by all as the pioneer worker for the blind in America, established a workshop for blind adults in 1848, which was in reality an Off - shoot from the Older educational institution for blind children. This shop, in which mattress-making and chair-caning are the principal industries, is still in existence.
