of Challenge

The author in the first chapter, described the

history of education for blind people in Europeand North America and traces in detail the

first steps taken towards chapters dealing withprincipals and teachers, their methods of

teaching; the construction of the school; school activities; reports and administration.

Published by Mika Publishing Co. 1980.

ISBN 0-919302-45-5,8'1, x I 1'/2, hardcover, $10.00.

A unique pictorial record of Ontario scenes, land­

marks, historic events and social life, as seen throughthe eyes of artists a century ago.

The book contains a collection of eighty-eight hand­

printed reproductions of full-page illustrations, most

of which appeared in the Canadian Illustrated News

issues of the 1870's and 1880's. It offers a rare

glimpse into Ontario's 'past by bringing to life theold sketches and photographs which are found

only on the pages of newspapers preserved in someof our archives.

Each engraving is accompanied by descriptive text

containing interesting facts and historical data. Together, the pictures reveal a

portrait of the days, when steamboats were a popular mode of transportation,

when horse-drawn buggies and democrats were a common sight on dusty county

•.oads, when wooden sidewalks, gas lamps, hitching posts and watering troughsfor horses were part of the urban scene.
