DEAF,DUMBAND BLIND Ca Thirteen-Year-Oji BAY Educated, De- spite His Affiction, HIS WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHMENTS —++— An Original Thinker and Asks Numerous Questions. TALKS WITHA AIS LIPS All the world knows the story of Laura When it became public a gen- eration ago it was a source of wonder to two continents. Dr. Howe's achievement in reaching the soul that was shut in by blindness and deafness and in teaching it to think and to speak was considered little short of a miracle. There arrived in Wash- ington this morning, however, a thirtcen- year-old boy who, though he is similarly afilicted, knows today more than Laura Bridgman knew even at the end of her life. Yet the progress made in the case of Tom- my Stringer, which is the boy's name, and in the case of Helen Keller, would nave been impossible had it not been for the ex- Feriment made in the case of Laura Bridg- man. There have been many dvances in the science of teaching the deaf and the blind within the last decades, and ‘Tommy Stringer_has profited by the resulis of these. This erect, bright-faced lad, who comes to the capital to ‘see’ with his fin- gers some of the places and people about which he has studied in his history les- scns, is as alert and as fully informed as any other boy of his age. His patrictism, too, is just as ardent as that of any other vigorous American youngster. He is gready interested in Washington, and also as proud of it as he is of Boston, his own city. i Tommy Stringer is accompanicd by his constant companion and teacher, Miss Helen S..Conley, and by two Philadelphia. friends. He will remain in Washington un- til the early part of next week. The boy was born in the town of Washington, west- ern Pennsylvania, thirteen vears ago. In infancy he suffered an attack of spinal meningitis, which deprived him of sight und hearing. About the same time his mother died, and his father, unwilling to be incum- bered with the care of such a helpless in- fant, deserted the child. Problem to Hospital Authorities. Tommy was taken to a hospital in Alle- gheny, remaining there for a long time. He was a problem to the hospital authoritic for he was in due time cured of his Ill- ness. Physically he was well, except for his double affliction. What to do with him was a puzzling question for the hospital uthorittie: There seemed to be no insti- tution fitted to receive him. He was not taken to a blind asylum because he was deaf. An institution for the deaf could not ave him because he was blind. So he re- mained in the hospital, a mass of living clay, knowing less than the least of all animals. There was absolutely no approach to his intelli He did not know that the world was bigger than the sides of his crib, He only knew that through the black- hess something ministered to his phys ds. Night became day for him becau special attentions of a night nurs he spent the hours of daylight sleep and the hours of the night in wake- fulne: When he w taken to Boston one of the first difficulties was that of re- ersing his order of the day. Keller, then but a child rd the story of this in far-off western Pen vania, and though it was net known, of cou whether he had any intelligence or not, she of ten blind and Helen felt that an attempt should be made to teach him she hed been taught. She could best realize the fearful blackness, the unspeakable prison In which he dwelt, for she had herself been rescued from it but a few years before. So Helen dented herself the luxuries dear to a child's heart—candy, soda water, Ice cream, and such—t he might save her pennies to pay the expens of lite Tommy's transfer to Boston. The letters which Helen wrote at this time to her friends are surpassingly beautiful in ‘imple eloquence Ue boy who w as she pleaded for ited the dawning of the 1 a great light. About this time Helen's dog, Lionel, was ied by a stupid policeman, and from all ts of the country und ‘from foreign lands offers of a new dog or of money to purchase one poured in upon her. Even a member of the British royal family wrote to her offering to replace the dog. ‘To each of these friends Helen replied that she did not care for anothcr dog. No other could take the place of Lionel. But if her friends wished to make donations she would be very glad to reccive gifts of moncy for the sake of litte Tommy Stringer. ‘Thus she eloquently presented the case of Tom- my far and wide, and largely through her instrumentality he was taken to Bosion to the Kindergarten for the Blind, which is an adjunct of the famous Perkins Insti- tution for the Blind, Where Laura Bridg- man Was educated. Method of Locomotion. Tommy was at this time five years old. He was wrapped up in a loose garment and was scarcely able to stand upright. His mode of traveling was on all fours, moving backward that he might not bump his head. He was a fierce and passionate little ani- apparently savage in his disposition. His face was blank, and his posture, even When standing, wes one of fear and uncer- taint the long, slow process of reaching the mind shut in by such thick walls of affliction. How to convey to him the jdea of speech was a problem which Helen Keller and her own teacher at firs undertook. Later they were succeeded by other teachers, and for several years past Miss Conley has been the boy's sole teacher, The boy was narrowly watched al) the time cover, if possible, whether there real- yas a sound mind behind those blind eyes and deaf ears. Then, as he was given food daily, the letters of the manual alpha- bet were formed on his own fingers < spelled into his hand. Every time that ommy received a piece of bread his teacher carefully formed on his fingers the letters b-r- d. Then into his hand she spelled the same word. Day after day. through Weary weeks and months, $ process was continued in spite of ¢ agements. our After nine months of instruc- tion the hungry child one day put up his own chubby little fingers “and spelled b-r-e-a-d in token of his hunger. At last the triumph had been won. The idea of speech had entered the child’s brain, and thereafter the pro though slow, and certa n. and the child's vocabulary daily in- creased. The little fingers Which so hesitatingly spelled b-r-e-a-d now use a vocabulary far beyond the range of the average boy's knowledge. The m{nd Which so laboriously received the first word of human speech has become a storéhousé of knowledge and of real wisdom. He is an original thinker, and his questions are lincessant and his imaginings remarkable. In all the common branches ordinarily taught to boys Tom- my is proficient, and it is fair to say that he knows more thanithe average boy of his age, except in suct respects as depend ab- solutely upon sight or Sound. This, too, is in spite of the fact that his education did not begin until he: was-five years old, and then it had to be carried on through the slow and tedious process of finger speech. Physically Transformed. Physically, the t¥ansformation in Tommy Stringer has been“‘as gfeat as the mental and spiritual transformation. The shrink- ing, hesitating little creature that would not walk except backward and on all fours has become the tall, sturdy and handsome lad of confident poise and manly bearing. Physically, Tom is almost perfect. He is as erect as an Indian and as strong and sup- ple as an athlete. It seems impossible to tire him by the most vigorous exercises, ‘Tommy is learning to speak with his lips. Of course congenitally deaf persons are mute only because they cannot hear. Speech is @ consequence of hearing. It is ttle short of miraculous that this boy, who has never heard the faintest sound, should be taught to speak with his lips so that he may be understood by anybody. This is accomplished by the sense of touch. He is instructed how to hold his mouth and how to place his tongue and then he puts his fingers upon his teacher's Ips and. throat, and learns the sounds as she speaks them. Vocal speech is necessarily burdensome and almost meaningless to Tommy. He cannot hear the sounds he utters and ean scarcely appreciate the importance of them.

An- other teacher is toad, another a horse, an- other cow. A friend in this city is fish, Helen Keller is blackbird, and so on through his list of intimates. Recently some Tommy's friends were married and at this he was greatly interested. He promptly decided that there should be a Mrs. Strin. ger as soon as he was twenty-one, and her is to be Jane. He often refers to his life and has already begun the de the model for the house in which he is to live. That house is one of kis m remarkable creation It is builr for urposes of utility. Whatever Tommy does not like is omitted from it and those things which please him most are there in abun It has, for instance, two elevator: ral bath rooms, a pond in the cellar contrivance with a weight attached for a door bell, and no end of other conceits. Before he really built the model of th house with hi: ands, Tommy ialked ly about Tommy Stringer. it. He asked many questions of a friend who had been in Washington and one ot them was the size of the President’s house. When he learned that it was four stories high he promptly replied that Tommy's house would have five stories. Skilled in Use of Toolx. The making of his model house indicates that Tom is skilled in the use of tools. Not only has he studied reading, writing (in square script and in the Brail), arithmetic, by means of a special type slate on which he can work hard problems with amazing quickness; history, geography, physiology. botany, natural history, etc, but he has also been taught the use of tools. For three years he has taken a course in Sloyd, by which he has learned to handle with facil- ity and expertness all of a carpenter's tools. He knows far more about carpentering and other mechanical branches than the aver- age man who is not a skilled mechanic. He has made in wood many objects such as a sled, a knife box, a pen tray, shelves and stools. The sensitiveness of his touch and of his sense of smell almost pass belief.
