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.
