Answer 1

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. Mr. Gilman 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.

Answer 2

                                               Mr. Gilman

When Helen began her second year at the Cambridge School For Young Ladies, she was full of hope and determination to succeed. But during the first few weeks she was confronted with unforeseen difficulties. Mr. Gilman had agreed that that year she should study mathematics principally. I had physics, algebra, geometry, astronomy, Greek and Latin. The first difficulty was she did not have the apparatus to carry on her studies. The classes she was in were very large, and it was impossible for the teachers to give her special instruction. Miss Sullivan was obliged to read all the books to her, and interpret for the instructors, and for the first time in eleven years it seemed as if her dear hand would not be equal to the task.

Seeing the difficulties Helen was facing, Mr. Gillman to remonstrate with Miss Sullivan on the ground that she was working too hard, and in spite of her earnest protestations, he reduced the number of Helen’s recitations. At the beginning he had agreed that she should, if necessary, take five years to prepare for college, but at the end of the first year the success of her examinations showed Miss Sullivan, Miss Harbaugh (Mr. Gilman's head teacher), and one other, that Helen could without too much effort complete her preparation in two years more.

Finally Mr. Gillman declared that Helen was breaking down and made changes in her studies which would have rendered it impossible for Helen to take her final examinations with his class. In the end the difference of opinion between Mr. Gilman and Miss Sullivan resulted in her mother's withdrawing her sister Mildred and Helen from the Cambridge school
