Excerpt from In the Matter of a Royal Commission to Inquire Into the Administration, Management and Welfare of the Ontario School for the Blind: Report and Recommendations of Norman Blain Gash, K. C., LL. B., Commissioner
On May 2nd, following, I visited the School and interviewed Mr. H. F. Gardiner, the Principal, and showed him the letters referred to, as also my authority for proceeding with an investigation, and discussed at length these complaints, as well as the general management and conduct of the School, and at my request he arranged a meeting for me in the Assembly Hall, of the male students, whose names appear as signatories to these letters.
At the interview with the students following, all these boys were present, except two, unavoidably absent. I read the letters to them and enquired as to how and by whom these letters had been prepared, and was satisfied as to the authorization of all their signatures.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book was commissioned to investigate and assess the methods and efficacy of the Ontario School for the Blind. This institution was initially established in 1872 with a mandate to educate blind students up to the age of 21. The author, having reviewed the history of the institution and conducted a vast number of interviews, reports that inadequate services and inefficiencies have become pervasive within the school. Their discoveries led to a series of recommendations designed to improve the overall administration, discipline, curriculum, and standard of living for the students. The author, throughout, engages critically with the present state of blind education in the province, drawing on examples from other institutions around the world, to substantiate the pressing need for substantial administrative improvements to enhance the lives of these vulnerable students.
