Mr. Anagnos

 

Mr. Anagnos was the
director of the Perkins Institution in Boston. He was instrumental in sending
Miss Sullivan to Helen’s house to teach her. He had quite a soft corner for
Helen. However, differences grew in their relation 1892 with the Frost King
episode. The controversy concerning 'The Frost King' was an agonizing experience
in Helen's life. Helen was charged with plagiarism. It was said that Helen had
copied the theme of her story from 'Frost Fairies', by Miss Margaret T. Cabby.
Even Mr. Anagnos, the director of Perkins Institute doubted Helen. Mr.
Anagnos's behaviour towards Helen was not justified. In spite of initial
sympathy with her and believing her side of the situation, he changed his
stance. The night before the celebration of Washington's birthday, one of the
teachers of Perkins Institute talked to Helen regarding "The Frost
King". Helen told her that Miss Sullivan had narrated her the story about
Jack Frost and her wonderful works. Something she said made the teacher think
she was confessing that she had copied her plot from Miss Canby's story of 'The
Frost Fairies'. She conveyed her conclusions to Mr. Anagnos who thought he had
been deceived by Helen. He also began suspecting that Helen and Miss Sullivan
had stolen the story.
