BLIND TYPIST H HAS LOCAL OFFKCE"Q‘IOB Arthur Sullivan, Who Is Excellent Dictaphone Operator Despite Affliction, at Stanley Works, Arthur Sullivan, aged 26 years and affiicted wi*h what is consideved in- curable blindness, is now in the em- ploy of the Stanley Works, where he has a position as typist in the office of F. R. Gilpatric. Mr. Sullivan’s story is more pa- thetic than that of one who was al- ways blind. He was a bookkeeper and lived near Middletown until his eyesight falled. Doctors are unable to cure him and he has started life anew. Sullivan was admitted to the State Institute for the Blind in Harttord. He learned typewriting by the touch system and excels in dictaphone work. The loss of his sight seems to have increased his hearing, making him exceptionally good for the posi- tion. Mr. Gilpatric says that Sullivan goes about his affliction in a business way and keeps his position by ef- ciency rather than any philanthropy. Once he masters a place in the office he has no difficulty in finding it again unaided. He counts the steps when going upstairs and after two or three times ascends and descends without trouble. He is one of three such typists in the state. His happiness is increased here be- cause ohe of the men with him takes him to and from work and also takes him automobiling at times.
