HELEN KELLER INSTRUCTS HER FIRST TEACHER Famed Blind Writer Gives Braille Lessons to Old Friend. The t'nitrrl Prm sent a correspondent into the Rcotcb mountains In aearrh of Hflfn Keller, oho In a tiny cottage i teaching the Braille mtem of reading * to Mrt Anne Sullivan Macy. her fimoai teacher. Mra. Macv I* threatened with blindness. BY GILBERT M’ALLISTER United Press Staff Correspondent fCopvrlght. 1934. fcv United Preasl URRAY. Scotland, March 20. Isolated in the wilds of a great mountain deer forest, blind Helen Keller is teaching the Braille method to Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who took charge of Miss Keller in girlhood and taught the blind, deaf and mute girl how to read and speak. Mrs. Macy is threatened with complete blindness. But the pat.ent instruction given by Miss Keller has given her eyes such complete rest that there is hope her sight may be saved. Miss Keller's little farm seemed the most inaccessible spot in all rugged Caledonia. Her only neighbors in 100 square miles are the families of six deer stalkers. Maintain’* Large Correspondence The lights of Miss Keller's farmhouse gleamed a welcome as the correspondent trudged over the moorland, '.there red deer were gathering in hundreds, terrified by the fury of the gale. Two shaggy collies barked. Inside were Miss Keller, Mrs. Macy and a third inseparable companion, Mrs. Polly Thomson. They gave the correspondent a real highland welcome as they ushered him into the kitchen. where a fire roared in the hearth. Mrs. Thomson told me that Miss Keller herself fed the chickens and cattle, holding out to them unseeingly carrots and turnips. The farmhouse has five rooms. Miss Keller's time is fully occupied with housekeeping and writing. She maintains a large correspondence. Spends Busy Days She wrote a statement of her life with Mrs. Macy. “It is true,” the statement said, “My teacher is now practically blind. I read to her every day and make notes for her in Braille. She knew Braille when she was at school. When she taught me she wrote out many letters, punching thm on Braille tablets. “But since then riot writing has undergone changes. About half the letters are different. It was not difficult to teach Mrs. Macy the new letters and we have fun when she makes mistakes, using the old letters. She never will read Braille rapidly. She never did. But it passes the time for her to puzzle out words while she waits in the dark for the day to dawn and the shadows to go away.” Miss Keller rises at 7 a. m., and has a breakfast of porridge before she starts a day's work that would tax the energies of many people.
