Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Board of Visitors of the Kentucky Institution for the Education of the Blind, to the General Assembly of Kentucky, for the Year 1850 A large number of the pupils now connected with the institution have been brought in by the personal efforts of one of the officers of the institution, who continues to visit, from year to year, sections of the state not previously visited by him, for the purpose of awakening an interest in behalf of the blind, and convincing their friends of the importance of placing them in the only institution in the state in which they can receive such training as will prepare them for independence and happiness. The experience of this and all similar institutions in this country proves that, without efforts of this kind, a large number of the blind children and youth of the state will never apply for ad mission to the privileges of the school, until they have passed the age when they can be admitted with safety to the institution, or with any great advantage to themselves.
