Overbrook Blind Boys -- "First Aid" (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• marked hair said:

  If this is the Overbrook School for the Blind in Philly, this photo is dated wrong or named later. The school didn't change its name to Overbrook School for the Blind until 1946. It was called Pennsylvania Institute for the Instruction of the Blind until then. Maybe everyone called it Overbrook anyway? www.obs.org

  Two other Bain/LOC Overbrook photos were posted 58 months ago: A female pupil of Overbrook (photo posted in Nov. 2012):

  NYT of August 10, 1913 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60F10FD3A5F1373... An extensive piece about a blind man, with a quote: "at the Overbrook School in Philadelphia, where I studied ..." So it looks as though the name change in 1946 may have been recognition that it was usually referred to as "the Overbrook school."

  Stokes stretcher.. Still in use: "A Stokes basket, also called a Stokes stretcher or Stokes litter, is a metal wire or plastic litter widely used in search and rescue. Its key feature is that it can be disassembled for transport in backpacks or by pack horse. Originally designed by Charles Francis Stokes, these baskets have been notorious for spinning under the downdraft from the rotating helicopter blades." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_(rescue_basket)#Stokes_basket Admiral Stokes, the inventor: "Rear Admiral Stokes served in the Navy from 1889 until 1917 when he retired. His duties carried him to Cuba during the Spanish-American War, to the Orient during the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippines during the insurrection. He was a pioneer in abdominal surgery and devised the first-aid dressing which the Army and Navy used in modified form during the World War. He also devised the Stokes splinter stretcher." www.arlingtoncemetery.net/cfstokes.htm
