What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, " I am interested in education of mentally retarded and have been active in this field since 1947. Writing is hard work, very demanding, and requires honesty and a feeling for the children you hope to reach, but very rewarding. Am happy that the little school I founded in 1947 has grown from 5 children to an enrollment of over three hundred."
