Excerpt from Perkins School for the Blind Bound Clippings, Vol. 1: New York Institution for the Blind, 1902-1925The recent death of ablind organist in the town of Highlands recalled to his old friends at the New York Institute for the Blind the fact that he won his employment fifteen or twenty years ago in competition with several seeing applicants. The church had a rector who intoned the service, and the organ ist was required to strike the pitch of the intoning voice: The blind man proved to be the only one who could do so.Various other graduates the institution at the corner of Thirty-fourth Street and Ninth avenue have done well in a musical way. One started as a tuner in a big piano establishment of the city. In time he became the head of the outside tuning department with four or five seeing men under him.
