Description
Albany, New York - Mrs. James J. Ryan of Albany works on her Braille board. Braille uses dots in a series of combinations for an alphabet. Contractions, dashes and certain sounds are learned separately, but also in dots. Work is done backwards, so when the paper is turned right side up the dots will be raised and the blinds person will be able to follow quickly with his fingertips from left to right
