1. Hellen.A.Keller

2. Helen Adams Keller was an American author,
political activist, and lecturer. She was the first
deaf blind person to earn a bachelor of arts
degree.
Born: June 27, 1880, Tuscumbia
Died: June 1, 1968, Easton

4. Gradually, the few signs that were used by Helen to
communicate became inadequate. Failure to get
across her thoughts led to fits of anger and
frustration in Helen. She felt miserable. As a result,
it became imperative for her parents to find a
teacher or a school for Helen so that she could
learn a better means of communication.
Helen’s mother’s hope was aroused by an account
she read in Dickens’s “American Notes” about the
education of Laura Bridgeman, a deaf and blind
student, by Dr. Howe. Unfortunately, his methods
had possibly died with him. Besides, it would not
be easy to find a teacher who would come to their
distant town in Alabama to teach Helen.

5. Helen was six when her father decided to
consult an oculist in Baltimore for the
treatment of Helen’s sight. Helen enjoyed
the new experiences during her trip. She
was happy to receive a box of shells from a
lady and a doll made out of towels from her
aunt during the journey. She also played
with the “punching machine” of the
conductor. In fact, she did not experience
any fits of temper during her journey as
there were so many things to keep her mind
and hands busy.

6. At Baltimore, Dr. Chisholm said that there was
nothing he could do about Helen’s sight. However, he
advised Helen’s father to consult Dr. Alexander
Graham Bell of Washington, who would be able to
guide them in regards to the education of Helen.
Meeting Dr. Bell was a great experience for Helen. He
understood Helen’s signs, which made her happy.
This meeting was the beginning of a long friendship
between Dr. Bell and Helen. Helen later recalled this
interview as the foundation of her journey from
darkness to light, “from isolation to friendship,
companionship, knowledge and love.”

7. Dr. Bell advised Mr. Keller to write to
Dr. Anagnos, the director of the
Perkins Institute in Boston. Her father
wrote to him without any delay and
got a reply in positive. Finally, in the
March of 1887, Miss Sullivan arrived at
the Keller house.
