Biographical Sketch of William Bell Wait, The Inventor of the New York Point System of Writing for the Blind From: IN MEMORIAM-William B. Wait Outlook for the Blind, Autumn, 1916, Vol. X, No. 3, Pages 66-71 William Bell Wait, educator and inventor, was born at Amsterdam, N.Y., March 25, 1839, son of Christopher Brown Wait, 1811-1886, and Betsy Grinnell (Bell) Wait, 1800-1880. His first paternal American ancestor was Thomas Wait, 1601-1677, who came to this country from England, landed at Boston, Mass., in 1634, removed to Rhode Island five years later, where he received a grant of land, and in 1641, was made a freeman at Newport, RI. From him and his wife, the line of descent is traced to Christopher Brown Wait, 1780-1855, and his wife, Polly Van Buren, 1779-1841, who were the grandparents of the subject of this sketch. Mr. Wait became an earnest advocate of his points as the true basis of tangible printing and writing. He concluded that the number of points to be assigned to represent sounds or letters, should be governed by the relative frequency of the sounds or letters respectively as they occurred in general use. In applying the principle to the vertical rectangle of six points, it became apparent that while a small economy in the number of points might be secured, still no saving of space was affected inasmuch as the type body used for a letter of one point must be as large vertically as that containing six points. This led Mr. Wait to adopt four base forms, the type bodies having two points vertically and one, two, three and four horizontally, as here shown: : : : : : : : : : : . After much experiment he devised the New York Point System comprising twenty-six capitals, twenty-six small letters, numerals, punctuation marks and short forms for diphthongs, triphthongs, syllables and for words and parts of words in common use.

Launch in New York of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) UNESCO Director General Koïchiro Matsuura will launch the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) at UN headquarters in New York on March 1 (5.30 p.m.). The main goal of the Decade is to encourage the governments of Member State to integrate the concept of sustainable development into their education policies and into all aspects of learning to bring about behavioural changes that will usher in a more viable and just society. Before the official launch, an experts' round-table (3.30 - 5.00 p.m., Room 6) led by Professor Steven Rockefeller, President of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, will examine the Decade's objectives, raising financial resources, and the respective roles of governments, NGOs, civil society and the private sector. By placing education at the heart of sustainable development, the Decade aims to encourage stakeholders to improve the quality of teaching, facilitate exchanges among the various players and raise public awareness. The complex concept of education for a sustainable development goes beyond the environment (water, climate change, biodiversity, disaster prevention, sustainable production and consumption etc.). It also encompasses economic aspects of development (fighting poverty, managing social transformations, eco-tourism etc.) and its socio-cultural aspects (the promotion of cultural diversity, gender equality, indigenous knowledge, the fight against HIV/AIDS ).
