Mr. Arthur Gilman was the principal of Cambridge School for the young ladies. He was not only an efficient teacher but also someone who aroused Helen's interest in history and literature. Mr Gilman would read out the papers to Helen during her examinations using manual alphabet and then read out what she had written so that she could correct her answers. He was extremely affectionate towards Helen. However, she was confronted with unexpected difficulties that year which caused her a great deal of frustration. She had to study mathematics without the needed tools. The classes were larger and it was not possible for the Cambridge teachers to give her special instructions. When the embossed books and the other apparatus arrived, Helen’s difficulties began to disappear and she began to study with confidence. However, Mr. Gilman thought that Helen was overworked and was breaking down. He insisted that she remain at his school three years longer. He made changes in her studies. A difference of opinion between Mr. Gilman and Miss Sullivan resulted in Helen’s mother withdrawing Helen and Mildred from the Cambridge school.

GOOD MORNING DEAR....
Arthur gilman was the founder of Radcliffe College and the principal of Cambridge School, for young women,that was joined by Helen to prepare for an entry into Radcliffe college.
He was very loving and sympathetic towards Helen. He knew Helen's limitations. In order to help her in her pursuit of knowledge, he himself learnt finger alphabets to give her instructions. He was a good scholar and a broad minded person. He instructed Helen in English literature.
According to Helen "Mr. Gilmens broad views of history and literature and his clever explanations made my work easier and pleasanter. He was quite accommodating but also rigid at a time.He let Helen's sister Mildred study in his school. He knew that her presence would be inspiring to Helen.
When he found Helen was stressed and over worked,he decided to reduce his work load. He wanted Helen, to spend three years more instead of two to complete her studies.
However Helen didn't liked 4th his idea. He thought that what he had planned for Helen was her own interest. However hi sympathies were missing understood.The difference of opinion between Mr. Gilman and Mrs Sullivan resulted in both the sisters being removed from the Cambridge school......
