Mr.Gilman was the principal of the Cambridge School joined by Helen to prepare for the entry into Radcliffe College. He was very loving and sympathetic towards Helen . He knew Helen's limitations. In order to be of help to her in her pursuit of knowledge, he himself learnt the finger alphabet to give her instruction.
He was a good scholar and a broad-minded person. He instructed Helen in English Literature. He taught her "As You Like it ", Burke's "Speech on Conciliatian with America" and Macaulay's "Life of Samuel Johnson".
According to Helen:
"Mr.Gilman's broad views of history and literature and his clever explanations made my work easier and pleasanter..."
He was quite accommodating but rigid also. He let Helen's sister Mildred study in his school. He knew that Mildred's presence would be inspiring to Helen. When he found Helen overworked and stressed, he decided to reduce her workload. He wanted Helen to spend three years more instead of two to complete her studies.
Helen did not like his plans. Miss Sullivan and Helen's parents were on her side. Mr.Gilman refused to budge. He thought what he planned was in Helen's own interest. However , his symphathies were misunderstood.

ALL THE BEST..
