was excited by this new material which was so cheap to buy. Poor young men
working in smoky cities were able to buy plasticcollars. These collar's were
hard and uncomfortable. But they did not have to wash them. The poor young men
could rub them every evening with soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been
able to afford playthings for their children, were now able to buy them
playthings made of
plastic.

him. Although he couldn't see people's faces, he learned to recognize their
voices. After his seventh birthday, Louis went to the little school in the
village. But there weren't any books for him.

village priest told Louis Braille's story to the director of a famous school
for blind boys. At this school, boys learned math, grammar, geography, history,
and music. Also they learned to read.
