To sum up, what I believe is true is this: that just as definitely as special schools arc needed, just as clearly as industrial opportunity was the opening note of this present movement for the blind, and prevention the highest note yet struck, so I believe that the characteristic method of the movement is going to be the socializing of all work for the blind, new and old. Everything we have heard so far at this convention convinces us that the need is being slowly recognized, and the method more or less employed in the most progressive bits of work under way. One of the greatest values of this method of organization is that it gives an equal hearing to the man who can pay his way and the one who cannot; to the laborer and the college graduate; to every one, from the old lady who wants self-threading needles, and the man who wants his artificial limb repaired, to the man who wishes to go to college. And I believe that it is only by working together under some such "flexible system" as I have outlined, for continuous years -- a system which correlates all the forces for the blind, from the time of occurrence of blindness, brings together promptly demand and supply, and looks for new developments in the light of conditions found in field work -- that we can demonstrate the possible degree of happiness and usefulness to be reached by the blind as a whole.
