     I attended both public school and the school for the
blind in Utah.  For the most part the school for the blind
was a very isolated, restricted environment. I was there
from 1958 until 1968.  The last couple of years I was at
the school for the blind, we had a "progressive" principal.
I remember things being quite pleasant during this time.
Public school was academically superior to the school for
the blind. It seems to me that schools for the blind could
be great places if they were run like Prep schools
