The East Oregonian reprints opinions on Helen Keller, deaf and blind, declining broad charity while praising her independence and urging Carnegie to aid the needy directly. It argues charity should serve the truly weak, not the self-sufficient, and notes that aid should target the hungry and untaught, not the famous.
A short reflection on Helen Keller choosing to fund her own education and life. She visited Andrew Carnegie when offered $5000 annually for life and declined, saying she wants to earn her own place in the world and give back. Her change from accepting aid to self reliance is explained by improved family means and her desire not to be dependent.
