Boy Inspires Preparing
Of Braille Encyclopeda
CHICAGO UPI Ten-year-
old Michael Esserman of Great!
Neck, N.Y., could read many
books in Braille. He could write
in Braille. And he could do his
arithmetic in Braille.
But when he- wanted to look
up something in a reference work,
he had to ask someone to do it
for him.
So did all his blind schoolmates.
Michael and his blind friends
intending public schools in t h e
Great Neck area had no major
reference works in Braille be
cause there weren't any avail
able, except for a 36-volume Web-!
ster's Dictionary.
Michael's mother, Mrs. Howard
Esserman, and 95 other Great
Neck women decided to do some
thing about it.
Children in Nassau and Suffolk
counties, N.Y., had plenly of text
books and flashcards transcribed
by volunteers of the Sisterhood
of Temple Beth El. They even
had three-dimensional picture
books made with paper, fur, fab
ric and leather, a project devel
oped by Mrs. Esserman. The
Three Bears sported, real fur
coals.
The women, under their chair
man, Mrs. Dorothea Wahrburg,
decided to rewrite an encyclopedia
in Braille. Their goal, after years
of hand Drinting, was to be a
Next month (March), three
years later, the first of about
300 Braille encyclopedia sets will
be finished at the non-profit Amer
ican Printing House for the Blind
at Louisville, Ky.
The first major reference work
for the blind, the giant, 145-vol-ume
sets are the answer to a let
ter written by Mrs. Esserman to
Field Enterprises Educational
Corp., Chicago, which publishes
the "World Book Encyclopedia."
"Youngsters have only one
source of information, their text
books," Mrs. Esseiman wrote
March 17, 1958. "Our Braille
group . . . wants to transcribe
the 'World Book' into Braille.
"Can your firm put at our dis
posal a complete set of encyclo
pedia?" she asked. "We will
work as fast and as accurately
as poUible."
Bailey K. Howard, president of
r leiu enterprises cuucduuuuij
Corp., talked with the women at
a luncheon in New York. Then he
assigned Dr. William H. Nault,
director of educational research
for the encyclopedia, to investi
gate the possibility of publishing
a Braille edition.

Nault, a native of Battle Creek,
Mich., a former school adminis
trator at Ridgewood, N.J. "But
they felt it was impossible.'
The Field Foundation, headed
by now United Nations Ambas
sador Adlai Stevenson, contribut
ed $60,000 and Field Enterprises
added another $55,500, Nault said.
The funds were sent to the
American Printing House for the
Blind, the biggest Braille book
producer in the world.
Editing the encyclopedia fori
transcription into Braille turned
into a 15-month job. The Braille
publication contains some hand
tooled diagrams and line draw
ings. But all reference to maps
and other illustrations had to be
rewritten.
Marjorie S. Hooper, chief edi-
tor of the printing house, took
charge of rewriting and such baf
fling problems as a Braille article
on color.
"That was a corker," said
Nault, who passed on the final
result.
Rewriting also became a chore
