The devotion of these 46 years is not so well known. Many people have asked for the story of her. life, and Anne Sullivan™Macy has pointed to Helen Keller as all the biography she desires. But it is time now .to talk about "Teacher"--Helen never called her anything else. Because of the squalor into which she was born at Feeding Hills, Mass., Annie developed a destructive inflam- mation of the eyes so early that the "She would be so pretty if it were not It was not only Annie's eyes that distressed "her bellious in the way a child is likely to be who is surrounded by unhappi- She can remember some of her Once in anger she rocked her little sister clear out of her cradle and gave her a cruel scar on her fore- bor came with a little girl in white shoes and white mittens, soft like rabbits. - Annie wanted the white mittens intensely, but the neighbour had bought red mittens for her.

Not a ray of light shone in the great darkness which covered me that day." - Two operations in Tewksbury ap- parently had done nothing for her sight, and finally she was taken to the city infirmary in Boston, - But when the doctors there were through with her, the eyes were still so blurred that she could be classified in public re- cords only as blind. The old woman at the almshouse had told her that the most famous of schools where blind children could be THE OTHER HALF OF \ "The Readers Digest.") Nearly .everyone remembers that a| ivan Macy" by Nella Brady, in At Perkins, the teachers had a hard time finding a place for her. Mat weaving was the orthodox starting point but she couldn't weave and cursed the mat. The teacher tried her somewhere else and everywhere she went it was the same. Bewild- ered, rebellious, she fought her way through classes accgpting nothing on the authority of the teachers. "My mind was a question niark, my heart a frustration," she says. The follow- ing summer a young doctor became interested in her eyes and after two operations, 12 months apart, the cur- tain was lifted. Delirious with her new powers, she swept into books and newspapers, stealing them from the teachers. In 1886 she was graduated from Perkins, valedictorian of her class of eight. In the meantime, in Tuscumbia, Ala., a serious illness had left Helen Keller, then 19 months old, irrevocably blind, deaf, and dumb. Day after day her mother watched the little girl slipping from her, yet trying, even as she herself was trying, to hold the few strands of communicatiof™ left. All day long the little animal tugged at her-mother's skirts, strong, tireless, quick tempered, and wilful, "You ought to put her away," said Helen's uncle, "she is mentally defective." But an aunt kept saying: "This child has more sense than all the Kellers, if there is ever anyway to reach her mind." Mrs. Keller never gave up hope that there would be a way. She had read .in Dickens' American Notes of his visit to the Perkins. Institution 40 years before and thought the child could be taught. Her husband finally found that the Perkins Institution was still in existence and wrote its direc- tor. So in March, 1887, Annie Sulli- van arrived in Tuscumbia. It was Annie's plan to move slowly, first winning Helen's love. She learn- ed the following day that Helen had always done exactly as- she pleased and intended to keep on. Sometimes it was impossible for days to comb * ginning to stir in the child-soul." By "several times. | day for sending you to us," cried Mrs. obedience, and finds the yoke easy. It remainds my pleasant task to direct and mould the intelligence that is be- "touching objects and by finger move- ments into Helen's hand, Annie began teaching the child to spell. "One day we went. to the pump house. I made Helen hold her mug 'under the spout while I pumped. As the cold water gushed forth, I spelled 'w-a-t-e-r' All the way back to the house she was highly excited, and learned the name of every object she touched. In a few hours she had added thirty new words to her vo- cabulary." If this was a momentous day for Helen, it was no less so for her teacher, for that night Helen for the first time of her own accord snug- gled into bed with her and kissed her, The loneliness that had tracked Annie since Jimmie's death was gone now. "I thought my heart would burst, it was so full of joy," she said Three months after her arrival in Tuscumbia, she wrote: "I know that Helen has remarkable powers, and I believe that I shall be able to develop and mould them. She is no ordinary child and people's interest in her edu- 'cation will be no ordinary interest; but she shall not be transformed into a prodigy if I can help it." How the Kellers felt they told Annie at Christ- mas, when the happy, intélligent face of their child brought greenly to mem- ory the sad Christmases of the four preceding years. "I thank God every Keller; Capt. "Keller took her hand but could not speak. When Annie felt unequal to a situation she turned for help to the person who seemed best equipped in all the world to carry her through. In the case of Helen's voice she took her to Miss Sara Fuller of the Horace Mann School for the Deaf, in Boston. At the end of 11 lessons Helen was able to say haltingly: "I-am-not- dumh-now." For 40 years Annie and Helen labored incessantly with Helen's voice and if Annie had been able to devote her entire time to teaching Helen to speak, the results might have been more satisfying. But she and Helen both realized that to have something to say was more im- portant than to have a beautiful way of saying it. Annie never let pity blind her com- mon sense. She demanded of Helen what she would have demanded of a seeing and a hearing girl, more in fact, for it took Helen twice as long to prepare her lessons. To this Helen owes the. fact that. she has been ac- cepted on equal terms by the seeing and hearing, and this is the greatest pride of her life. Annie never em- phasized Helen's dependence upon her, but Mark Twain once wrote Helen: "You are a wonderful creature--you and your other half together--Miss|, Sullivan, I mean, for it took the pair of you to make a complete and per- fect whole." When Annie consented to marry John Macy in '1905, she reconsidered so many times that Mr. Macy threat- ened to print "Subject to change with- out notice" on the wedding invitations. There were many arguments against the marriage: Helen must come first, Helen was her child, her life. So, in a house jointly owned, the Macys and Helen continued to live. Except for absences of a few weeks, Annie has been separated from Helen but twice in 46 years. In 1916 when Mrs. Macy was ill in Porto Rico, Helen wrote ler: "How alone and unpre- pared I feel! Thirty years ago you, a young girl alone in the world, handi- capped by imperfect vision/and want of experience, came and opened life's shut portal and let in joy, hope, knowledge, and friendship." In 1930, Mr. Walter Pitkin listed ( ( her hair; force was necessary to but- ton her shoes or wash her face. Annie | recognized immediately that her big- gest problem was to get Helen under some kind of control without breaking her spirit.,. This could not be done while Helen was with her family, none of whom could bear to see the child punished. Mrs, Keller finally con- sented to their living in a little annex near the Keller homestead where the family visitéd them every day. The experiment began- badly. Helen was taught to read and write was only 20 miles away. "I want to go to that school," she begget;" and at last, without a toothbrush, petticoat, hat, or coat, she entered the Perkins In-| stitute, That night for the first time | i 1 She was 14 years old; Helen Relies homesick and would have nothing to do with Annie, Helen's father looked through the window one morning at ten o'clock and saw Helen sitting on the floor, still in her nightgown, the picture of stubbornness and despair. With tears in his eyes he said: I've a good mind to send that Yankee girl back to Boston," but he was dissuaded, ! ithe living Americans who, in his opinion, had achieved most. Helen Keller's name was in the first group which included ony four names, Mrs, Macy, with ten others, was in the second, but Mr; Pitkin said: "A strong case might be put up in favour of promoting this extraordinary woman to the first group." 'Temple University invited Helen and Mrs, Macy to receive the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters in 1931, Helen accepted, but Mrs, Macy wrote: "I cannot conscientiously receive the} people 'be asked to continue as a degree.

The most notable was a Great Dane whom--it is difficult to make people credit this --she taught to say: "Ma-ma." The dog also asked for water by pro- nouncing: "Wah-ter," Many report- ers who saw and heard this necrom- ancy felt that they had enough. on their hands in making réaders believe in Helen without adding the story of the dog. Mrs. Macy is now nearly 70 and there is only a dim flicker of sight left; but the old fires still burn high. Not many months ago, friends, with the greatest difficulty, persuaded her that it was not a sane and practical plan to have another pupil, to make a little neglected deaf and blind child a member of her household. She still likes the rich warm tide of life where it strikes the rapids, not where it runs smooth. She is anchored to two great rocks of faith; .one is that ob- stinate belief in people which no num- ber of disappointment have ever been able to kill; and the other is Helen. Could Annie Sullivan have done better by the world and in the world if she had scattered her abilities? She thinks not. If Helen Keller had been nothing more than a good broom- maker, Annie Sullivan would have concentrated on broom-making. She would not have starved with Helen these 46 years; but one may safely say that she would not have left until she had taught her to be the best blind broom-maker in the world.
