April Nineteenth was not only the anniversary of Freedom's battle at Lexington, but the day when there was dedicated the first building ever erected in this world as a Kindergarten for the Blind,—an idea conceived five years ago, in the fertile thought of Michael Anagnos, the Superintendent of the Perkins School, of which this is an adjunct; although the old school is in South Boston, and the Kindergarten is at the corner of Day and Perkins Streets, on the way to the Jamaica Plain District of Boston.
The edifice is full of good sense and convenience. So far, seventy-seven thousand dollars have been spent, of which sixty-seven thousand dollars have been raised and paid.
The Dedication was full of sweetness and light. There was no set prayer, but many hearts were unwontedly moved to devout gratitude for true religion in Christ.
