Synopsis

This book gives a comprehensive study of the blind in the state of Pennsylvania in 1925. It presents a breakdown of blind Pennsylvanians by age, race, and cause of blindness. The author also discusses the history of organizations and institutions for the blind in Pennsylvania as well as the existing provisions at that time for their education, employment, and general welfare. Additionally, the book explores various topics relevant to visual impairment in the early 20th century, including prevention of blindness, training and employment of the adult blind, education of blind children, and conservation of vision classes. The author concludes that while significant progress had been made in improving the lives of the blind, more needed to be done, particularly in the areas of education, employment, and welfare for both children and adults.
