Excerpt from A Teaching Guide for the Instruction of Listening Education

New ideas and techniques are often greeted with suspicion and even ridicule. Louis Braille was laughed at when he prepared the first braille alphabet and not even during his lifetime was his method of communication formerly accepted in his own land. However, today, braille is a method of reading for the blind that is universally ao cepted and is unquestioned as part of a blind person's rehabilitation program. Although for centuries blind people have peeked around with a cane, it was not until World war II that Dr. Richard Hoover, now famous ophthalmologist, begin to develop scientific and organized instruction in preparing the blind person to use the long white cane as an effective and safe means of mobility. At that time there was much skepticism. However, today, no rehabilitation center would be without a good mo bility and orientation department.
