BLIND CHILDREN DO WELL AT P.S.  77
Blind children have an opportunity to acquire the same education as others 
at P.S. 77, Seneca Ave. and Center St., the oly Queens school having a 
class for the blind.

They are taught weaving, sewing, handcraft and typing. Mats, doll dresses, 
cushions, hats and other articles made by them are on display.
Florence Collins is instructor of the class.

Children in the class are taught to read the Braille system. They learn to 
write with a stylus, which resembles an awl, for a pencil. With this they 
punch holes through heavy paper, and the paper is reversed for reading. The 
system is revised Braille, Miss Collins said.

Some of the pupils come from distances of five or six miles. Their carfare 
is paid by the Board of Education, and guides are provided unless someone 
in the family can accompany them.
