The Rev. W.H. Jackson, of Burma: 'Why I live among the Burmese Blind'

Son of a former M.P. for Greenwich, 'Father' Jackson, as he is called by his blind pupils, himself blind from childhood, has built up a wonderful work for those similarly afflicted at Kenmendine, in Burma. He shares all their life, wears Burmese dress, and eats Burmese food and sits and sleeps on the floor. A friend recently said of him, 'he is to the blind of Burma what Father Damien was to the lepers of Molakai.' Man could hardly earn nobler praise.
