Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never
the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's
great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, border,
nor breed, nor birth,
When two strong men stand face to face,
though they come from the ends of the earth!

Acknowledgments
DOING HISTORICAL RESEARCH provides many pleasures, not least of which is tracking down some elusive citation in a dark, dust-covered corner of a forgotten archive. An even greater satisfaction comes from the use of that information in the forming of an original historical analysis or interpretation. This is solitary work, and it can be a lonely experience. Thus, in thanking those who have helped me I include not only those who helped create the final product, but those who kept me sane along the way.
My research necessitated travel to numerous libraries and archives, and everywhere I went I was greeted by enthusiastic and supportive people. My thanks to the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, Massachusetts; the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.; and the library staffs at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., and the Gutman Library at Harvard University. I especially acknowledge the assistance of Gallaudet University archivists David L. de Lorenzo and Corrine Hilton.
A number of scholars in the fields of history and social policy provided me with valuable insights and ideas. Robert Bruce and Maxine Tull Boatner gave me important primary source locations; Deborah Klein-Walker and Sheldon White kept me on track while constantly renewing my creative energy. Joseph Featherstone's involvement, both conceptual and editorial, resulted in a more readable and substantial work.
Numerous parents and teachers shared their time and emotions with me as interview subjects. These interviews were confidential, and so the subjects must remain anonymous. Our discussions were important in proving to me that the attitudes and expectations of nineteenth-century educators (such as Bell and Gallaudet) were alive and well in the twentieth century.
Jeanne Menary and Margery Somers reviewed and edited preliminary drafts of this book, and I thank them for their honesty and forthrightness. Ivey Pittle and Jim Stentzel, my editors at Gallaudet University Press, got more out of me than I thought I had. Sarah Levine edited my writing, buoyed my spirits, and through her example showed me
