Question

How did Mr. Gilmen help Helen?

Answer 1

THE ROLE OF MR.ARTHUR GILMAN IN HELEN'S LIFE:
Mr.Gilman was the principal of the Cambridge School.He was a good and efficient teacher and he knew the art of making teaching interesting and effective. He was kind-hearted and helpful as he permitted Mildred , Helen's sister to study at the Cambridge. It was a great help for Helen as the presence of her sister was a moral support.Gilman was a noble man and inspite of being very busy he read out what Helen had written for improvement .Time to time he gave moral support to her and also was very sympathetic for Helen. A sincere concern for her made him think that Helen was stressed out in her studies and so he urged her to take it easy. This ultimately led to some misunderstanding and Helen withdrew from the school. Helen had great respect for Mr.Gilman but unfortunately he failed to understand the ever increasing urge of Helen for future education . He was not to be blamed because whatever he did was just a sincere concern for Helen.
