| Abstract: | The right of the physically and mentally handicapped to special educational treatment has not always been recognised; many, triumphing over their natural impediments have won through because of their own endeavours, but the great majority, as history only too well shows, were ignored by their fellows. Christianity however, particularly in the form of religious orders, sought out the handicapped in order to alleviate their lot. A survey of the history of philanthropic endeavour would provide an interesting introduction to the work that is now beginning in Malta, but space does not allow the mention of such projects as the Bruges College for the Blind as early as 1560, and provisions of the different Education Acts in England. |
