REPORT OF THE EXE CU TIVE COMMITTEE .
E IGHTEEN months have elapsed since the last Report was
issued, and the accounts then presented were made up t o
S eptember 3oth , 1 884. T he reason for this long silence is
that it was found that t he A utumn was an inconvenient t ime
for issuing a R eport hence the custom sprang up of delaying
th e statement Of events, etc. , till the S pring ; and thus, bythe t ime the Report was before the publi c, the statement of
accounts was nearly ni ne months in arrear.
I t has now been arranged to close the accounts for t he
year on December 3 l st , and t o bring the Report before ameeting of the supporters of the College within three months
of that date. In order to carry this out , in this Report will
be found statements Of accounts, fi rst, for the year ending
S eptember 3oth , 1885, and, second, for t he fi fteen months
ending December 3 l st , 1 886 .
It w ill be Observed that, though on December 3 1st , 1 886,w e had the sum of £ 438 standing t o our credit, w e had at
that moment outstanding l iabilities Of in addition t o
borrowed money . Of this sum ,were
advanced on account of th e National F awcett M emorial
F und .
‘ S till this left us over-spent in t he
fi fteen months. A nd Of this sum it will be Observedthat £ 635 is for current expenses, for while these amount
t o our income, exclusive of donations t o General
Fund only amounts to This difi'
erence
between income and expenditure w e have hitherto had
t o meet as best we could . Now , however, we feel confi dent
that we shall soon see a change in this respect . Our pupils
F or full part iculars see page 12 .

are going fo rth into the world, and are giving pl‘oOf, by their
success in different walks of life, of th e thoroughness of t he
training they have received. T he earnings of about ahundred Of our Old pupi ls during th e last twelve m onths
have amounted t o between nine and t en thousand pounds.
T he College will thus command support, and w e shal l be
able to Open our doors to larger num bers than w e can venturet o receive at present.
During th e past eighteen m onths t he work Of th e College
has been, under God’
s blessing, ever advancing in t h e right
d irection, as will b e found more ful ly set out in th e Principal’sReport on page 1 5.
In July, 1 885, the A nnual Prize Festival was held in th e
Crystal Palace, when H .R .H . Princess Frederica was again
graciously pleased t o honour us with h er presence, and with
kindly words t o each recipient presented th e prizes and
d iplomas. T he whole of th e cent-re transept was, by the
courtesy Of the Directors Of the Palace, placed at the disposalOf t he Co llege, and a very effective gymnastic display was
g iven. In October of the same year a sim ilar perfo rm ancewas given in th e A lbert Hall
,in connection w ith t h e Health
and Educational Exhibition . These displays created very
marked attention, many of t he spectators refusing t o believethat th e perform ers could not see .
Just at that t im e th e Comm ittee had th e grief of losing
their Treasurer, M r. W illiam Jones L oyd, who , though he
had not very long occupied that post,had been interested in
t he College from it s earli est days. L ord S talbridge has nowsucceeded him as Treasurer
,and Dr. A rm itage takes L ord
S talbridge’
s place as Chairman Of th e Executive Comm ittee .
T he year 1885 closed with a visit t o A merica,paid by Dr
Campbell, accompanied by M iss A . Campbell, M i ss J . G ilbert,
and M essrs. Hollins and M oncur.’

In consequence of this trip, no public Christmas Festival
w as held in the winte r of 1885-6, but the pupils had the ir
usual Chr istmas Tree, the gift Of H is Grace the A rchbishopof Canterbury, from the neighbouring grounds of A ddington .
In th e summer of 1 886 , th e Prize F estival was held at th e
College, t he Duchess of Westm inster having been kind
enough t o undertake the distribution of th e prizes.
F avoured by a real summer’
s day, th is ceremony was per
formed and an exhibition of athletic exercises given in th e
grounds. A bout a fortnight after, some two hundred Colonial
and Indian v isitors came t o t he College our ever- ready and
generous colleague, M r. John M . Cook, having provided a
special train and made all the arrangements. We were again
fortunate in our weather, and we trust that th e renown of th e
College will be carri ed back with our visitors to th e A ntipodes,and may lead to the same good work being carried out there .
T he College year closed onDecember 2oth with th e annualChristmas-tree Festival, when M rs. Richardson Gardner was
so good as to present diplomas t o those who had qualifi edfor them . Here we would draw attention to an important
point. Every pupil who has passed the requisite course Of
training,and has satisfi ed th e exam iners Of h is or her fi tness,
rece ives a duly-signed D iploma or Certifi cate . A ny one
who cannot produce this, though he or she may have had
some instruction at the College, has failed to qualify as
a Teacher, Organist, or Tuner, as the case may be .
M ention has already been made of the various exhibitionsof athletic exercises, and this is a. subject to which the C omm it t ee wish to draw particular attention . I t is manifest that
these displays could not b e given without long and careful
training,nor could this training be given without plenty of
space and properly prepared ground. A gain, it is equallymani fest that in the case of t he B lind, even m ore than in
that of the S ighted, this means of heal thy training of th e
12
body is absolutely essential to a healthy and higher training
of the mind. Consequently, when in t he autumn Of 1885,
some land contiguous to th e College Property was ofi'
ered t o
the Committee at what they considered was a fair price,they felt justifi ed in effecting the purchase, although the
money for thi s and for th e necessary fencing, etc. , had t o b e
borrowed, and they trust that their action w ill be approved
by the supporters of th e College for the following reasons
l st . That larger playgrounds were absolutely necessary
in view Of the increased number of pupils Of all ages and
both sexes.
2nd. That the value of the College property has been so
much increased that th e rate of interest on the standing
mortgage has been reduced from fi ve to four per cent.3rd. That a sum of money was known to b e coming t o
the College from t he National F awcet t M emorial Fund.
T he di vision of thi s Fund has now been made, and theam ount allotted to the College is 5d. T he wholecost for these playgrounds will be more than double thatam ount. It is earnestly t o be hoped that t he balancemay be rai sed in order that these grounds may b e dedicated
in their entirety t o t he M emory of Henry Fawcett.Reference to the S tatement Of A ccounts on Oct . l st , 1884,
will S how that a sum Of about was then standing t o thecredit of th e College . This was a portion Of a legacy from thelate John Harrison, Esq. , and which has now been expended
,
first, in acquiring from the Ecclesiastical Comm issioners for£ 400, a small but very valuable piece ofground, gi ving amuchneeded out let from th e south-west extremity of th e Collegeproperty ; and second
, towards asphalting the walks. T helatter, though a heavy expenditure, wasmost essential for t hehealth of those who cannot easily avoid puddles
,and who,
therefore,must be otherwise protected from the risks attending wet feet .

PRINCIPAL’
S REPORT .
T i iE higher education Of the blind, in this as well as in othercountries, has awakened, duringlate years, increased attent ion in various quarters, and especially among the blindthemselves.
In 1868 a number Of blind gentlemen, being aware Of the
great improvements which had been made in the education
Of the blind on the Continent and in A merica, founded theB ritish and F ore ign Bli nd A ssociation, “ for the purpose of
promoting the education and employment of the blind,by
ascertaimng what has been done in these respects in thi s
and other countries, and endeavouring t o supply defi ciencies
where these are found to ex ist, and by attempting to bringabout greater harmony Of action between the difl‘
erent ex isting schools and institutions.
”
\Vhen I came to England in 187 1 , Dr. A rm itage entered
with zeal into the plan ofestablishing a college for the higherand musical education of the blind .
T he Royal Normal College began with two pupils, M arch
l st,1 872 . InOctober, 1884, th e winter term Opened with 1 52
pupils th e highest number in attendance during the last twoyears was 1 82 th e average number Of pupils has been about1 70 . During th e period thirty-seven pupils" passed the
required exam inations, and Obtained College Certifi cates.Arthur Abbott

In all,one hundred and th irt v pupi ls have had suffi
cient training to enable them t o und e rtake business forthemselves
,and may be regarded as a practical test of our
work . Of the one hundred and thirty, three are failures,sixteen have only recently left t he College and are working
up business connections, nineteen are fairly successful,e ighty-one are highly successful, and eleven are deceased .
Of th e eleven, fi ve were among our very best successes, two
were moderately successful, and four on account of i ll-healthw ere unable to enter on business consequently, Of the 1 30 ,86“ have been highly successful
,2 1 only moderately suc
cessful (ofthe twenty-one about two- thirds are self- sustaini ng,while one-third have a hard struggle to make ends meet) ;1 6 who have recently left t he College are already earningsom ething, and the ir work is increasing, 4, from i ll-health
,
were unable to do business, and only three were entirefailures.A number Of others came t o the College for a time, b ut
as they did not go through a course of training they cannotbe counted as affecting th e practical results
, as will be seenfrom the following brief resume —1 9 were discontinuedbecause character and conduct were unsatisfactory ; 5 died
during their pupilage 2 6 left for various causes, some of
them had very excellent ability,but preferred to throw them
selves ou the world rather than undergo a suffi cient trainingt o enable them to overcome t he difficulties arising from theirbl indness ; 2 were discontinued onaccount of improved sight ;5 were obliged to gi ve up on account of deafness, and 1 5 fori ll-h ealth 1 5 came for special purposes, and only remainedt o accom pli sh the objects for which they came .
During i ts fi fteen years’
work, to the very utmost of th em eans placed at i t s disposal , the College has advanced the
T he salaries ofour successful pupils vary from about £ 60 to £ 300 r earone earns about £ 400 ; several young women are earning from £ 70pt

education Of th e blind, by securing the serv ices of the
ablest professors and teachers,and introducing the most
improved methods and appli ances for instruction .
T he College now embraces a Preparatory S chool, 3.
G rammar and High S chool, a Techn ical S chool, and an
A cademy Of M usic . T he course of instruction includes thefollowing departments :
1 . General Education, including th e train ing Of S choolTeachers.
2 . T he S cience and Practice of M usic,including the
Training Of M usic Teachers, Pianists, Organists,Choir-masters, and Vocalists.
3 . Technical Education , including M echanical T rai ning
and Pianoforte T uning.
In each department t he inst ruct ion is d irected to t he
pract ical end of preparing t he b lind for self-main
t enance .
GARDNER S CHOL A RS HIPS .
In all l ists Of pupils, the letters G . S . signify that th e
pupil is a Gardner S cholar . T he expansion Of all depart
m ents of the College is mainly due to th e l iberal assistanceOf th e Gardner Trustees. A fter carefully exam ining al l
departments Of our work, they established three classes of
S cholarships.
1 . S cholarships in th e Preparatory S chool, which has
for i ts Object th e awakening of th emental faculties,
the physical development, and mechanical t raining
of th e chi ldren .
2 S cholarships in th e Technical S chool, the object of
which is t o prepare young m en, by mechanical
t raining, for the very best handicraft which hasyetbeen discovered for the bl ind .
3 . S cholarships in the College and A cademy of M usic,
t he Object of which is t o prepare thoroughly trainedschool teachers and professional m usicians.
1 8

Considering these facts, together with the curriculum of

which has been publ ished in our Reports for several

TRA INING OF S CHOOL TEA CHERS .
In previous Reports so much has been written on the
subject of general education it wi ll now only b e necessary t o
speak of t he Normal classes .for training school-teachers.
T he training of teachers has always been one of th e principal
objects of the College, as indicated by th e name Norm al in
t he title . But hitherto w e have not encouraged pupils to
devote themselves exclusively to preparation for school- teaching ; although w e had obtained a few good appointments w e
were anxious lest, aftei
‘a long course of careful training, there
would not be employment for a number of such teachers.
T he dem and,however, seems t o be increasing ; six young
women and one young man have recently obtained appo intments
,making a total of fourteen engaged in this work .
This success, together with t he encouraging Report 0 0 th e
Education of th e Blind , presented t o Parl iam ent by H er
20
M ajesty’s Inspectors, M essrs. Oakley, S harpe, and Fitch, from
which we quote, has encouraged us to establish special
classes for this purpose
T he fi ve instructors now engaged under the Board are bli nd personsw ho have been pupils of th e Norwood Co ll ege. They have evi nced speci alaptitude and liking for teaching, and have expressed a W i sh to be employedin it
.
They have , therefore, been allowed to be present at lessons gi ven byt he best teachers in t he coll ege, and have afterwards been requ i red, undersuperv ision, t o take charge of classes and to give lessons . T he tra i ni ng,though thus l im ited ; has proved to b e very efi ect ive for i t s purpose. T he
expedi ency, however, of making a special grant t o any i nsti tut i on wh i chsucceeds in qualifying a teacher for this work is we l l desem ng of con
sideration .I am incl ined to think, therefore , that in laying down the condi ti ons ofany publ ic aid which i t may be proposed t o give, e ither ( 1 ) to t h e instruotion of blind pupils, or (2) to t he training of teachers for t he bl ind , i t wi l lb e we l l to avoid all rigid and ine lastic rul es t o abstain from formul ati ngdefinite courses of instruction and ofexam ination ; and for t he present, anduntil experience shal l have suggested a better course, t o encourage li beral ly any approved methods of teachi ng and training, and to Judge of theireffi cacy mainly by their resu lts .

T h e ma in designi n all the lessons w e heard seemed to be , not only to increase the pupil ’sknowledge on t he particu lar subject under cons ideration, but al so ( 1 ) todevelop and quicken the sense of touch to an extent such that one mi ghtalmost say a new sense seemed in som e cases to be created , and ( 2) to giveself-confidence which would lead t o self-he lp to make t he great deprivationand difference from others sensible in t he smal lest possible degree. One

TECHNICA L S CHOOL .
In regard to certifi cates for the Technical S chool, th e
College authorities have been fortunate in securing, as ex
am iner and assistant examiner, th e invaluable services of
M r. A . J. Hipkins and M r. Irvine, of M essrs. John Broadwoodand S ons. In each year we have two prelim inary exam i
nations, in which M r. Irvine not only inspect s pianos tuned
by the pupils, but sees each pupil at work ; noting th e
manner of holding and m anaging the tuning-hammer and
damper, testing them with all varieties of trichord pianos,including overstrung instruments. Each pupil is also re
quired to show by actual performance his mechani cal skillin m aking eyes, stringing, and ordinary l ight repairs
, such
as rem oving broken wrest-pins,repairing hammer-shanks,
etc . T he third and fi nal exam ination is conducted by M r.
Hipkins. T he work of each pupil is carefully marked w i th
detailed criticism in regard to defects, and if th e work fallsbelow the required standard the certifi cates are withheld .
T he College authorities are determined t o recommendonly students who are thoroughly qual ifi ed t o do good work .

It is a cause ofmuch regret that some among th e bl indare unwilling t o give suffi cient time t o quali fy themselves
for doing good work, even when the advantages are placed
w ithin their reach . Every year one or more leave the C ol
lege before they have completed the ir training. A s they
are not t horoughly quali fi ed to do th e work they undertake,
they impose upon the public and injure the cause of th e
bl ind . A ll t he pupils w ho complete t he ir course o f
t raining and pass t he necessary exam inat ions receive
24
cert ificates. We earnestly request, not only th e friends andpatronsof the College, but the fri ends ofthe bl ind in general,when t hey are asked to employ or recomm end old pupils of
the College, either asperform ers, teachers, organists, or piano
forte tuners, to ascert ain if the person thus seeking employ
ment holds a College certifi cate.
It has been argued that pianoforte tuning was not good
for the blind, because it required too much effort on their
part. A report of the Royal Normal Col lege was quoted,wherein it was stated that if the bl ind were t o become effi
cient and successful pianoforte tuners, they m ust spend in
preparation eight to t en hours a day for several years. It
was urged that the health would be impaired, and, again,that it would be a great hardship for a young man who was
bl ind to work in this way. S hould w e not require of the
bl ind the same industry and attention t o business habitsthat are requi red of seeing persons Go t o any wellregulated factory, and we fi nd young boys apprenticed fora number of years ; they go through every stage of the
work, and they certainly give an entire day’
s work t o th ebusiness.A t the Royal N ormal College for the Blind
, the work islightened, not only by providing great variety, but by introducing several times a day
,things which act as collateral
helps, and are at the same time sources of recreation. A t one
tim e they are taught singing, again they hear a lecture, and
again an hour is devoted t o gymnastics, et c. E ven if thiswere not so, a pianoforte tuner has much more t o do thanto stand over a pianoforte with h is tuning hammer, raisingand lowering stri ngs t o a certain pitch . This is necessary
,but it is equally necessary for h im t o become a skilledmechanic, and much of h is tim e must be devoted t o workwhich has nothing t o do with the so- called wearing businessof pianoforte tuning
, which tells so much on the nervoussvstem .

PHYS ICA L TRA INING .
We are glad to note that the physical training of the
blind is receiving increased attention in many institutions.
F or experience has shown that our announcement, made in
th e outset of our work, that the physical training of the
blind is th e lever which gives irresistible force t o all other
education , is now fully recognised. In our course of train
ing,wel l-ordered gym nasiums
,m ilitary drill
, swimm ing, and,t o a certain extent, out-door games
,skating and coasting,
each fo rm a part, but more is necessary if w e would awakenall t he young blind to energetic activit y. We must dis
cover some game or sport whi ch, while it gives th e necessary
exercise, will be of suffi cient interest t o cause th e young to
fly t o it whenever their tasks are ended . We want some
thing which will be t o the blind what football and cricket aret o th e seeing. During the brief season after Easter we are
entirely successful, but from October to th e following A prilth e exercise of our pupils depends t oo much upon the
routine of regular gymnastic hours under th e direction and
control of a teacher. During the winter, when w e happen to
have a few days skating and coasting, a renewed spirit of
activ ity seems to pervade t he whole establ ishment . Byrecent experience, I have come to t he conclusion that skat
ing on Plympton’s improved roller-skates, which reduce the
risk of accident even below t he risk on ice, offers t o th e b lindan enjoyable recreation , which will probably supply th e
element of interest we have been seeking for girls as well as
boys. I trust,during the present year, some friend will be
found who will supp ly th e means for carrying out this plan .
I have a strong personal wish that it should be establishedin connection with t he F awcett playgrounds. This would
certainly be appropriate , as M r. Fawcett was no t only an
advocate, but a living example, of th e advantages of athletic
26
sports.Connecting h is name with th e playgrounds, rink,
etc .,will
,act as an inspiration to the blind .
A CA DEM Y OF M U S IC .
NORM AL CLAS S ES .
In th e musical, as well as the l iterary department, w e
have Normal classes for teachers. Our students are trained
under the best masters in the art of teaching the piano,voice development, singing, harmony, counterpoint, compo
sit ion, the organ, and drilling of choirs,including the train
ing of boys’ voices and chanting.
S pecial instruction is given in breathing.
“ L ife depends
on breathing ; singing on artistic breathing ; the old Ital ian
mastersjustly said the virtuoso in breathing is nearest t o thevirtuoso in singing. Instruction in the art of breathing isessential for the art of singing, and it also improves t h e
health of th e bli nd. M r. A lbert Bach says : T h e regular
daily practice of singing strengthens, not only th e lungs andvoice, but the whole constitution . T he deaf and dumb have,therefore, a defective development of the thorax and the
voice, and are disposed t o consumption,and the greater part
of them depart from this l ife in their youthful days after thebreaking of the voice. Dr. M eisener gives a l ist of fi fty
-one
pupils wh o died at t h e L eipzig Deaf and Dumb Institutionin forty-nine th e cause of death is given ; in not less than
thirty-two of these the cause was disease of the lungs.
We have special devices t o enable ab lind t eacher ofmusict o train seeing children. I was recently asked by an em inenteducator of the blind ifI considered it necessary for the blindt o be th oroughly taught the ordinary musical notation usedby the seeing. Without such instruction it is impossible forthe blind t o teach seeing children . In addition t o themusical ladder for singing classes, and an introductory seriesof cards for teaching musical notation, I am now preparingan instruction-book for the piano, embodying t h e methods
27
which have proved successful in my personal experiencewith young seeing children . T he fi rst diffi culty encountered
by music-teachers, especially the blind, is the confused systememployed in teaching young seeing chi ldren th e ordinary
musical notation ; in my book a new and simple plan isadopted. This book, taken in connection with the variousseriesof little pieces
, easy studies,sonatinas, various instructive
pieces, études and sonatas by the greatest masters, whi ch
have already been published in Braille, makes th e study of
music for the bl ind easier and more comprehensive than has
been possible hi therto. T he British and Foreign BlindA ssociat ion is furnishing the blind with a musical l ibrarythat will practically make us independent of seeing music.
A s a member of th e Council , it has been my duty andprivilege to select the music for publi cation but, in th e
selection , I have had th e unwearied assistance of all our
Professors,and also the advice of some of the most em inent
musicians in Europe . I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude for t he help rendered by th e musical
profession and musical publ ishers. I t is sometimes urged
that w e do not publish what is most needed by the bl ind,but any one acquainted with the best musical works forinstruct ion, w ill see by a reference to th e list given in th e
A ppendix, that w e are systematically enlarging our musical
l iterature in various departments.

the educati onal requirem ents and capaci ti es of the students
training w i thin i ts w alls, responded to m ost z ealo usly and
cheerfully by one of i ts professor ial staff.
T he musical instruction in it s several branches of harmony,pianoforte, organ, and vocal culture, is addressed t o th e
m ind, and not merely t o th e car. This is the‘
only possiblem ethod by which musical training can be made of practical
use t o th e bl ind.
F or direct instruction in each branch, w e have able professors, several assistants, practising monitors
,and a music
reader, which places our pupils on an equal footing with
seeing pupils in other schools ofmusic .
T he indirect instruction is scarcely less impo rtant than
t he direct, and the latter is by no means comple te wi thout
it . I t is gained in the concerts and recitals, which fam il iarise th e pupils with the best works of the great masters,and render their musical culture more com prehensive .
But we should specially mention the musical advantages oft he Crystal Palace, where there are good musical perform ances every day, several symphonies each week, and an
30
st itut ions have recently determ ined to try th e plan of
employing teachers who have been trained in th e Royal
Norm al College (within th e present month two young ladies
have left us for this purpose) ; this will, at a small cost,certainly im prove t he character of the fundamental instruc
tion , and gives prom ise of better things for the future .
W ithin a few years w e shall be able to furnish much more
highly-trained teachers. Those whom we have sent out
hitherto were old when they entered the College, th e besttim e for effective training had passed
,and they laboured
undermany disadvantages. T he establ ishment ofourPrimaryS chool, in 1 882, enabled us t o take young children . T he first
class, after having a thorough course in Kinder-Gart en ,modelling, object-teaching, etc. , are now hav ing a com plete
course in th e College, in general education as well as music .T h e advantages which these pupils are enjoying from early
childhood m ust produce superior teachers, and we confi
dent ly anticipate that their future labours will do much in
advancing the cause of th e blind.
W ithout considering th e defective teaching hitherto t e
ceived by the bli nd, it is often proclaimed upon t he houset 0ps that they cannot succeed in the profession of music.
Is it reasonable under such circumstances t o look for successIs th e fai lure to achieve satisfactory results due to blindness?
Those who oppose th e musical education of the young blindremind m e of a Justice of Peace in the S tate of Pennsylvania
,
before whom a m an had been taken to b e comm itted forhorse-steal ing. T he justice had recently arrived from the
Old World, and was elected to h is ofi ice on account of hi s
advocacy of democratic principles. Three w itnesses underoath stated they saw th e m an steal th e horse, while six
witnesses under oath stated they did not see the m an stealth e horse. T he justice summed up as follows : three m en
saw the prisoner steal the horse, six m en did not see him
3 1
steal th e horse ; in this democratical country the majority
rule ; therefore the man did not steal th e horse and will notbe commi tted . Is it not as unreasonable for those wh o haveonly tested the old and inefii cient methods of teaching music
t o the blind t o proclaim that music is a failure S omeeducators of the bli nd, wh o have not taken sufii cient troublet o acquaint themselves with our methods and course of in
struction, have asserted for years that the same education,the same training, was given at other blind schools as at th eNormal College , but, owing t o the prejudice of th e public,the blind could not obtain employment in th e profession of
music . Beyond all question, they coul d not get employment,but a wrong conclusion was drawn from the fact. U neducated
blind m en,who were not hi ghly-trained musicians,w ere taught
t o play t o a certain extent upon the organ ; they werenot capable of properly training a choir. Of course they failed, but nufortunately the ir failure was ascribed t o their bl indness, ratherthan the want of education and training. Young m en of
good address, who comb ine with a l iberal education a thoroughmusical traini ng, obtain good appointments ; at the bottomthere is very l ittle room ,
but such young m en fi nd room at
t he top. A few extracts from clergym en’
s letters bear testimony upon this point .

lve regret that th e opponents of musical education of
t he bl ind, instead of rejoicing to have evidence of prac
t ical success in various parts of th e country, are m uch more
ready t o seek for any cases of failure that may have occurred .
T he assumption that our pupils are all, or any considerablepart of them
,picked subjects is m isleading. T he large
majority, at least nine—t enths of them ,are drawn from the
C

poorest class. We have never refused to keep any young
b lind person on account of t he w ant of musical talent .
We require that pupils shall possess a certain am ount ofmental
capacity, the health must be suffi cient t o justify the h 0pe
that the chi ld can undergo th e training, th e character must
be satisfactory, and t he habits not perni cious ; there must
be evidence that th e candidate will not at an early day
become deaf. We satisfyr ourselves upon such po ints, but donot regard any young candidate disqual ifi ed even i f the
musical sense is apparently wanting . M ore than once cases
refused at other schools have been taken in th e College .
Instances have also occurred, where young blind pe rsons,after six years’ residence in a bl ind school, have been com
pelled t o go into th e workhouse, and have afterwards beensent by th e Guardians t o th e College, where they received
an education which made them self-sustaining .
CONCERTS .
Our successful concerts in L ondon and t he Provinces are
creating a publ ic opinion in regard to th e professional
ab ilities of th e bl ind, which makes it much easier t o find
employm ent for our professional pupils ; at th e sam e t im e
they stim ulate our pupils t o work with renewed energy .
A s m any of our concerts have been given t o aid other Institut ions for the Blind, Orphanages, Young M en’

Las te vening’s performance proved conclusively the worth of m usical trainingthe young artis ts have recei ved , for every number was rendered wi th fine
taste and artistic discrim ination. Mr. Moncur has a tenor voice which ,though lacking strength , is of peculiar sweetness, and h is singing is therefore enj oyable.

she had scarcely the power for an eff ective rendi tion of
that alm ost heroic number . Yet her execution is so easy and fluent, andphras ing so neat and musicianly, that her effort was appreciated and m uchenj oyed . The featu re of th e concert was the piano playing of Mr . A l fredHo l lins, whose work w as rea l ly important and deserved m ore than a pass ingnotice. To play [any composition of Liszt demands great technica lski ll , and the concerto in E flat is one of th e m ost d iffi cul t things the greatmaster has written.

Dr . Cam pbell introduced his pupils from the Normal College for theBl ind at a bri ll iant farewell concert in t he Boston Music-hall last Mondayevening.

BOS TON EVENING TRAVELLER ," F eb. 15th , 1886 .
W hile it i s possible t o comprehend the faculty wh ich the bl ind maybr ing t o acqui ring a k nowledge of the pianoforte , i t i s nothing short ofm arvellous to l isten to a Bach fugue or a Guilmant movem ent played upont he modern organ by one whose sight is gone. Before leav ing Boston itwas arranged that Mr . Alfred Hol lins should play upon t he organ, and t heinst rum ent s at t he new Old S outh and Dr . H ale's were plac ed at h is disposal . What astonishes t he l istener in h is playing is the unity of touchbetween fingers and pedal and t he rareness and promptness of h is registration , m ere m echanical details which w e expect in th e work of com petentpe rform ers, but what would seem an insupei able obstacle with the blind .
W ith almost no hesitat ion Mr . Ho ll ins manages h is changes in registrationofmanuals , and, in fact, t h e whole ch aracter of his playing, while instinctwith m usicianly insight, is technical ly true and safe .
L ONDON “ TIM E S , Apr i l 1 2th, 1880.
In spite of t he counter-attraction of Liszt at the Crystal Palace, S t .Jam es's Hall on S aturday afternoon w as fi l led to overflowing by an aud ienceeager to hear Madame S chumann play one of t he m ost favourite and mostbeaut ifu l pieces of h er repertoi re, t he
“ Carnaval ” by Robert S chumann .
Another and , if possible, more interesting feature of t he same performancehas to b e recorded.
Mr . Hol li ns , a young and prom is ing pupi l of Dr .Campbell ’s Academy of Music for the Bli nd made h is first appearance at
44
these concerts with signal success . H e has been taught by Mr. F n ts Hartv igson,
w ho has every reason t o b e proud of such a pupi l . S ubsequentlyMr. Ho ll ins went to Berli n t o study for a few weeks under Dr. von Bulow,
and appeared at a concert in the German capital, where he played no lessthan three concerti at a sitting. H e is an equally profi cient pe rformer onth e organ , and di stinguished himse lf in that capac ity during t he recentv isit of Dr. Cam pbell ’s pupils to America. Mr. Hol l ins , be ing a t rue
‘
art i st ,
would no t wish us to consider t he physical disadvantage under wh i ch h elabours in judging of his performance . But w e may say that any virtuoso,blind or seeing, need not have been ashamed of the m anner i nwh i ch he ren
dered the pianoforte part in Beethoven’s B flat trio, Joach im and Piatt ibeing his associates in his arduous task .
D A I L Y N EW S , Apri l 12th .
At another recent perform ance, Mr. Ho l lins, of the Royal Normal Col legefor th e B lind , appeared for t he first time here . Although depri ved of
sight,Mr. Holl ins has acquired great proficiency as a skilful executant of
bri l liant pianoforte m usic, and an intel lectual interpreter of classica l composi tions . We have had prev ious occasion to speak of h is m erits , whichhave more recently been very successful ly d isplayed at concerts in Am erica .
Of his skill and tas te he gave fresh proof at S t . Jam es’s Hall by his performance of th e elaborate pianoforte part of Beethoven’s great trio i n Bflat, Op. 97, in association with Herr Joachim and S ignor Piatti .

a refined and arti sti c sense of expression .

CONCL U S ION .
T he passing of th e Education A ct in 1870 marked a new
era in national education . S eeing children of the very poor
now enjoy educational advantages which fi t them for
active useful citizenship . T h e blind and deaf and dumbchildren of the poor are obliged still t o depend mainly on
charity for that practical education and traini ng whi ch alone
can l ift them from pauperism and make them self-sustain
ing . T he governments of nearly all civil ised countries make
l iberal provision for th e education and training of their defeetive classes they endeavour by increased appropriations toplace th e defective classes
,as nearly as possible, on an equal
footing with others. In Great Britai n this work has hithertobeen left t o charity. Benevolent ladies and gentlem en inall part s of th e country have given l iberally both time and
money, but a large majority of th e bl ind, not only adult,
but those blind from childhood, are still t o be found in th ehelpless class. This is due in part t o th e failure to recognise that the blind must have as much practical education
and training as the seeing, who are t o follow t he same
avocations. A gain, much time and effort are lost for wantof systematic action ; there is no uniform plan of training.
Good and earnest people work with indefatigable zeal uponmethodswhich have p roved to be, by experience elsewhere, ifnot worthless, at least not the best for th e class to be benefi ted .
Benevolent"
individuals or groups of individuals enter uponth e work for the bl ind because their sympathies h ave beenexcited by the calamity of blindness. They are not pre
47
pared to apply the same practical business rules of life to anumber of bl ind children that they would t o the same
num ber of see ing children . Of course they wish t o preparethem for self-maintenance , but th e prevai ling idea is to makethemhappy and comfortable for t he m oment
\Ve h0pe ere long to see existing agencies harmonised, so
that t h e system of education, training, and employment of
th e blind throughout th e country will work like a perfectmachine, wheel within wheel, each lever, each wheel
, each
section having i ts respective part t o perform,and in i ts
action , not hindering, but contributing t o t he efli eiency of
all other parts of t he machine.
I cannot close this Report without expressing our appre
c iat ion of t he unwearied devot ion of our L ecturers, Professors,Offi cers, and Teachers. I personally owe them a debt of
gratitude ; their labours are not restricted t o their lessons,they give l iberally ofthe ir own tim e and strength t o prom ote
t he general advancement of our work . “re must especially
mention the invaluable honorary service ofDr. Henry H et ley ;
he is indefatigable in h is attendance t o th e needs of the
College, and is ready to come at all times.

REPORT OF T H E M U S ICA L EXA M INERS .
THER E seem s to‘
be happily but one course open t o all successi veExam iners of t he N o rmal College for t he Blind, namely, t oexpress unbounded satisfaction at the eviden t tho roughness of
the education given . Our exper ien ce as M usica l Exam inersoffers no exception to the rule. T he m aterials selected for t heexamination programme gave us at o n ce m ost telling e v iden cethat those to whom th e musical training of the students of t hisCollege is entrusted endorse Goethe’
s golden maxim , that “ taste
is only to be educated by contemplation, not of the tolerablg/good but
of the truly e'ccellent ,
"and “ tha t the best w orks of every class ought
to bepatronised, in order to show tha t no class is to be despi sed, but
that each gieee delight w hen a m an of genius atta ins i ts h ighest
point . Regarding t he principles on which t he var ious teachersseem to develop t he reproduct ive pow ers of musi cal art of theirsightless pupils, frequen t and searching questions put to the latter,sometimes a t the cost of interrupting their perfo rman ce, placedthe fact beyond a doub t that they are made as fam iliar with thenotation and the practica l details of t he compositions they perform ,
as if they had not t he sad expe rience and heavy labour of gai n inginformat ion under the depr ivatio n of one of t he most importa n t“d oors of the m ind. When students are found capab le of de
scribing accurately and playing separ ately the various subjects andsubordin ate episodes of t he works they h ave rende red. i t is ev iden tthat it is in their power to teach intelligen tly and successfully anyperso n entrusted t o their charge. T he results of t he o rdeal throughwhich t he students passed were in every case sa tisfactory , andvaried on ly in degree, acco rding to the length of time under wh icht he pupils had bee n tra ined, or the natural gi fts w ith which theywere endowed. Whe re so much general praise is richly deservedit is almost unkind to single out special names for commenda tion ,but w e feel that it is only just t o Hannah Carso n to st ate thatshe played a prelude for the o rgan ,
by Ouseley, t he copy of w hich,in the Braille musical notation for t he blind, had o n ly been pla cedin her hands tw o days before the exam ination that M asterW . F .
S chw ier, after having the copy on ly a few days, not o nly playedBach’
s well-know n F ugue in B m inor for the o rga n excellen tly,but gave a full account of its construct ion . M aster Hollins gave
49
t he highest prom ise as a. good performer on t he o rga n bothrendered solos on t he pianofo rte w ith excellent effect. M r. W ilmotnot on ly played well but sang well. A mong the lady performersM iss A m elia Campbell deserves S pecial mentio n . S he accomplisheda task of no ordinary difli culty in playing, when requested, anyone of the four parts of Bach
's Fugue in C major for the pia no
forte by i tself. A s a singer, M iss R eece showed ev ide nt signs ofca reful training and genuine ab ility. T he pure I talian style of

T h e department of t he College in whicht he b lind are taught t o repair and tune instruments is conductedw ith equal ski ll and soundness ; m odels of pianofortes of a ll k indsbe ing handled by t he workers in order that they m ay be preparedt o tune or tinker pianos ancient or modern. W e have refrainedfrom giving t he names of t he teachers in each branch of study,but it must be as evident to t he casual v isitor as t o the exam iner,that much credit is due t o them and that there should be morev isits to this adm irable institutio n by those w ho are not o n lyinterested in a great wo rk of charity but also of natio nal educa tion—for all na tions have their me la ncho ly percentage of blindis t he earnest w ish of those w ho have the pleasure of presentingthis Report.

M Y DEAR S m ,—I w as very m uch gratified when , on Tuesday last, I had
the first opportunity of v is iting your exce l lent Insti tution .
I had already admired t he very remarkable performance of the Col legepupils at Dudley House last season but, hearing them i nd i v idual ly, I
.
wasstruck by the unquestionable talent they displayed and by the i r surpri s i ngmus ical disposi tions , wh ich , under your masterly gu idance, and t he
careful instruction of your able teachers , cannot fail to secure even moresuccessfu l results than those already obtained.
Whether in t h e modest and rather tim id execution of the S onatinas byKahlau and Beethoven by t he young children , or t he m ore ambitious eff ortsof t he o lder pupils i n larger works , t he feel ing for rhy thm and accent, t heright musical understanding, were manifest . T he perfo rmance of Chopin'sdifii cul t Polonaise in C sharp m inor quite surprised me by its vigour anddelicac
T he s
yinging of th e young ladies did infinite credit t o the ir clever and
painstaking professor . R eissiger'
s Anthem , and part songs by Mendelssohn ,Kreutzer, and others , if perhaps deficient in ligh t and shade , left scarcelyanything to desire with regard to i ntonation and correct enunciation of t hewords . T he ingenious method practised in t he tuning departmentinterested me to t he highest degree, and th e favourable impression Icarried from the Academy of Music for the Bl ind will not eas i ly b eforgotten . T h e im portance of th is really wonderfu l movement in favour of
a class which h itherto had been considered as a heavy burden on th epubli c, and as one whose infi rm ity rendered it unfit for anything else thanhandiwork of t he sim plest description, cannot be overrated .
U nder t h e presidency of his Grace t he Duke ofWestm inster, aided byt h e unt in
’
ng zeal of th e Executive Comm ittee, and other active friends oft he Blind , supported by the sympath ies of the who le nation—beginn ingwith the Royal fam ily and extending to t he hum blest cottage - th e Col legemust ultima te ly prove a great success .
Most sincerely yours,
JULIU S BENEDICT.

I cannot refrai n from writing to tell you how greatly I was pleased withall that I saw and heard at Norwood yesterday, and h ow sincere ly I congratulate you upon the excellent results obtained .
At the l ittle concert you gave us, I can honest ly say that i t reflected th egreatest cred i t upon all concerned , both upon t he teachers and th e taught .Though I shoul d have l iked to see the elementary work , I have not a scra pof doubt as to its thorough goodness
,for such resu lts as were presented ,whether from t h e so lo singers, t he organ playing
, t he pianoforte performance, or t he choral ensemble, conclusively proved that point. A ll thatI heard was good , and som e portions of it were quite artistic. H ow you
canattain such resul ts is a mystery to me.
I can in no way so wel l and practical ly show m y sympathy with t henoble work of ph i lanthropy in which you are so earnestly engaged as byproposi ng to gi ve a concert in aid of your funds . At i t I shall
,with yourperm i ssi on , i ntroduce some of those musical students w h o yesterday gave
me so m uch pleasure . Believe me, sincerely yours ,HENRY L E

T H E T RAINING OF Y OU NG CHILDR EN.
As we have so many inqu iries with regard to the best m ethodof trai ning young blind chi ldren
,I take this opportun ity to offer
a few suggestions.T he blind are often injured, and their capacity much impaired ,
some of them even ruined for l ife,through the ignorance and
mi staken kindness of their friends dur ing early chi ldhood.T he fol low ing maxims w i l l assist usl st . It is clearly obli gatory upon al l persons
,Whether sighted ,
bl ind , or deaf and dumb, to endeavour to make the best use ofwhatever powers God has gi ven them .
2 cd. I t is the object of al l true education to cal l into actionthe moral
,mental
,and physical facu lties.
3rd. T o develop a true and harmonious character, we mu stgive carefu l attention to the smal lest details .4th . T he education of bl ind children shou ld commence as
soon as they can understand that their actions p lease or di spleasethose who love them .
Instead of being indulged,they shou ld be subjected to a more
carefu l and stricter discip line than other children. T hey shou ldbe taught how to dress
,wash, and feed themselves . M any
parents al low them to use thei r fingers at the table , or at bestgiv e them a spoon ; this is the greatest possible m istake . T heyw il l be spared much mort ifi cat ion dur ing the ir who le li fe if theyare early taught
,in the most part icularm anner, how to use their
knife and fork .
In those things in which they W il l natural ly be awkward, letthem have a few m inutes eve ry day for special instruction . T h eyshou ld neve r be al lowed to make their bl indness an excuse forinattention to the ordinary requi rements of society.

Instead of lavishing upon the child sugar—plums and sweetmeats
,let him be entrusted w ith a box o f simpl e tool s, prov id e
nails,tacks
, and pieces of wood, and encou rage him to attempt tomake litt le articles, such as boxes, toys, etc . give him a shove land spade
,or if these cannot be had , a sha rp stick, and when the
w eather is suitable,send him into the garden or yard to d ig and
lapt ave known a blind chi ld w ho constructed mountain ranges,
mud.forts, cottages—ih fact, a who le vil lage, w ith a church, shops,and ordinary houses even model led men and women , invited them
to a party,and treated them to mud pies and cakes .
Blind chil dren shou ld not on ly be encouraged , but taught howto sow seeds and cu ltivate flowers. T hey shou ld run, j ump, turnsomersau lts
,p lay leap—frog
,and join in al l games with their
brothers and sisters—in fact,be encouraged in every kin d of
activity. I f opportunities are favourable, cl imbing, running,swimming
,rowing
,skat ing
,and many other ath letic sports shou ld
be among thei r early accomp lishments.T he perceptive facul ties shou ld be carefu lly cul tivated . T his
may be done in var ious ways.Interest the child
,not only in the purchase of his own clothing,
but also in that of other members of the fam ily. When he haslearned to distinguish between wool len , cotton, l inen , and si lkgoods, he w il l very soon recognise the slightes t difference in thequali ty of c loth and other ar tic les. When a suit or dr ess has tobe purchased , let him car efu lly examine various samp les te l l himthe price of each, and point out their good and bad quali ties .When walking with them
,we shou ld speak of everything we
see, and , when conveni ent, p lace their hands upon whateverinterests them .
Any object wi l l do for a lesson—a foun tain,a sign
,a tree
,a
bird , a horse, beautifu l fi eecy clouds, the gather ing storm ,the
returning sunshin e, the springing grass, or the opening flow e rs ;al l will furnish topics for the most interesting stor ies to the l ittleElind l istener, who can only measure the length of his arm about1m .

Why rage fiercely the h eathen, and the people m editate a vein th ing? The kings of the earth the[themselves up, and th e rulers counsel take together against the Lord , and against H is A nointed. Now 11
1 break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us . He that s itteth in the heav'ns shall laug.em to scorn, and the Lord shal l deride them . In wrath He shal l speak to them , and shal l vex them i
is sore displeasure. Y i t have I set my K ing on Z ion’s holy b ill . I wil l declare the law whereof th e Lor1 111 said, Thou art my S on, Thee th is day have I begotten . A sk T hen ofMe , and I shal l give the h eath er Th ine inheritance, Earth ’s utmost parts for Thy (possession. Thou shalt break them in pieces Witeptres of iron. L ike a potter's vessel thou shal t dash them . 0 therefore be ye wise , O kings , ye judgese earth be instructed. S erve ye the Lord with fear, rej oice to H im with trembling. Kiss ye the S on, let
abe angry , and ye perish from the right way for H i s wrath shal l soon rek indle. A ll who trust in H i
me they are blessed .
