During her first day in school, Mr. Gilman patiently reads aloud every sentence in Helen's German paper to her in order to ensure that she understands everything he is saying. He also painstakingly spells out to her everything she writes so that she can correct her mistakes as necessary. Because of Mr. Gilman's dedication, Helen is later able to complete other examinations without additional assistance and adjustments.
Mr. Gilman is also a compassionate person; he allows Helen's sister, Mildred, to study at the Cambridge School so that the sisters can be together. Helen relates that, as a result of Mr. Gilman's kindness, she and her sister were able to spend six happy months together.
