This is Harald,
Miss Straubinger.
:49:30
One of my first pupils.
:49:35
He came here 5 years ago.
:49:39
He was a wild child...
:49:48
upsetting everything.
:49:52
It was very hard
to give him the habit...
:49:58
of a daily sequence...
:50:00
to teach him tasks.
:50:04
It took a year...
:50:07
to give him some notions...
:50:11
of the tactile alphabet.
:50:14
Helen Keller says...
:50:19
that this discovery...
:50:24
is the spiritual birth
of the deaf-blind.
:50:28
That really is the start...
:50:32
of education for those children.
:50:38
Michael,
sitting there beside you...
:50:43
still hears a bit.
:50:52
We used the vibration method...
:50:57
discovered by the Americans.
