21		Boys and girls without sight or with insufficient sight to read ink-print are admitted as pupils, if capable of education and in good health. While at the school pupils reside in cottages where the teachers also live, and through this association they acquire that unconscious tuition which is such an important part of the program of socialization. The primary aim of Perkins Institution is to qualify its visually handicapped pupils to take contributory places in normal life. New pupils are admitted in September and February, and all pupils must return to their homes for the short vacations at Christmas and Easter and for the long vacation in the summer.
