टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

Mr. Arthur Gilman was the principal of the Cambridge school of young Ladies. He was a kind and able teacher. Helen entered Cambridge School, to be prepared for Radcliffe. Out of generosity he let Mildred, Helen's sister, study at Cambridge. He was present for Helen as a teacher, Interpreter, and mentor. He took time out to read Shakespeare's "As you like it" with her. He was a teacher who made a study interesting for Helen. However, due to different opinions on Helen's preparing period for college, and misunderstanding with Miss Sullivan, their friendship came to an end.
