The Blind in China: A Criticism of Miss C.F. Gordon-Cumming's Advocacy of the Murray Non-alphabetic Method of Writing Chinese

by Wm 1841-1921 Campbell

First published in 1892, The Blind in China is a scathing critique of a method of teaching Chinese to the blind that was being promoted by Miss C.F. Gordon-Cummings. Campbell argues that the method is flawed, and that blind students would be better served by learning a phonetic system of writing. Although the book is focused on a rather esoteric topic, it sheds light on broader issues of education and disability in China at the turn of the century.
