10 TEACH BLIND
Miss Melba Call was a recent
arrival at Tanana after attending ;
schools Outside for 13 years. At
Tanana she will begin her life j
work of a girl who has risen tri
umphant over obstacles nature set
up aaginst her and now will im
part her skill to others, says the
Fairbanks News-Miner.
“Helen Keller of the North”
Melba Call has been named. Born
in 1910—her 21st birthday will oc
cur in October—on the eastern
shore of Nebnek Lake on the lower
Alaska Peninsula, Melba had nor
mal eyesight until she was three
years old. She lost her vision
then during an illness and has
been totally blind since.
When she was in a bureau of
education orphanage, Miss Corinne !
Call, for long a teacher of the
Eskimo and Indians, became in
terested in the girl and adopted
; her.
Melba showed such exceptional
| ability to learn that she was sent
to a school for the blind at Van
couver, Washington, and remained
there 11 years. Her work won her
I a scholarship at Perkins Institute
I for the Blind at Cambridge, Mas
sachusetts, and she has been doing
post-graduate work there for the
last two years.
When school at Tanana opens
Melba will have 10 blind pupils.
In the district there are 54 blind
adults but home work among them
will not be undertaken for the
present.
By no means is life a dull and
dreary thing for her. She can
play bridge and enjoys the game.
The cards she uses are, of course,
marked so she can differentiate [
them by sense of touch.
Melba is an accomplished mu- j
sician. She has shown real ability |
as a pianist and has broadcast \
over a number of stations.
The Moose Pass electric light sy- !
stem will soon be a reality accord- ;
ing to local arrivals. They are at
present clearing the site of the
power house and completing piping
arrangements.
