A FINE FEAT.
Mr J. W. Sinclair, a student of the Auckland Jubilee Institute for the Blind, was successful in the recent matriculation examination. Though not quite blind, Mr Sinc'air is so far deprived of sight as to be unable to study at an ordinary school. During the past year he has studied at the institute under two blind teachers, Mr Doric L. Algie and Mr David On tram. His subjects were English, mathematics, Latin, English history, and geography. This is believed to be the first occasion, in New Zealand at least, in which a success has been gained by a pupil of a blind teacher.
