In 1918, a ten year old blind boy named Louis Braille enrolled
at the Institute. It was around this time that Captain Barbier
de la Serre devised an alphabet of raised dots and dashes
embossed on strips of cardboard. He called it night writing
because soldiers could use it to read with their fingertips
when in action at night.
His system, however, was not a success because it was too
complicated: it used an arrangement of twelve dots to each
letter. Braille, now a teenager, became interested in this
system. He simplified it and developed the present
internationally used Braille system.
