The Royal National College for the Blind (RNC ) is a co-educational specialist residential college of further education based in the English city of Hereford . Students who attend the college are aged 16 to 25 and blind or partially sighted. They can study a wide range of qualifications at RNC, from academic subjects such as English and Mathematics to more vocational topics such as Massage and Complementary Therapies. Alongside regular further education subjects and vocational training, the college offers training in mobility, assistive technology, Braille, independent living skills and personal development.
Founded in 1872 in London as the Royal Normal College and Academy for the Blind, the college had a number of homes before moving to its campus in Hereford; it was renamed The Royal National College for the Blind in the late 1970s. It has been a pioneer in the education of visually impaired people in Britain since the Victorian era, and, as of 2010, is the only college for visually impaired students in the United Kingdom to have been awarded
Beacon Status in recognition of its outstanding teaching and learning. (

1925 – In the Scopes Trial , the Criminal Court of Tennessee upholds the Bulter Act, which made it unlawful, in any state-funded educational establishment in Tennessee , "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible , and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals." The case was a watershed in the creation-evolution controversy .

John Dewey (; October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952) was an American philosopher , psychologist , and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. He was one of the most prominent American scholars in the first half of the twentieth century.
The overriding theme of Dewey's works was his profound belief in
democracy , be it in politics, education, or communication and journalism. As Dewey himself stated in 1888, while still at the
University of Michigan , "Democracy and the one, ultimate,
ethical ideal of humanity are to my mind synonymous." Dewey considered two fundamental elements—schools and
civil society —to be major topics needing attention and reconstruction to encourage experimental intelligence and plurality. He asserted that complete democracy was to be obtained not just by extending voting rights but also by ensuring that there exists a fully formed
public opinion , accomplished by communication among citizens, experts and politicians, with the latter being accountable for the policies they adopt. (
