维拉全球互联 珀林曾在圣 约翰斯和多伦多接受教育。1926年与艾伯特 珀林结婚，育有三个子女：安 伊丽莎白，约翰和乔治。她帮助成立了纽芬兰第一个“家庭学校联合会”，并在“联合基督教会孤儿院”顾问委员会任职。也正是在这个委员会任职期间，她意识到发育障碍儿童教育设备的短缺。
“Mrs. Perlin firmly believed that children with a developmental disability should go to school to be nurtured by dedicate teachers who would help them achieve their potential.” In 1954, with the full support of the United Church, she established the first classroom for children with special needs, in the bament of the United Church Orphanage. She recruited Mollie Dingle, MBE, as teacher.
“珀林夫人坚信，发育残疾儿童应当走进学校，接受有奉献精神的教师的培养。这些老师会帮助他们发挥自己的潜能。”1954年，在联合教会的鼎力支持下，她为那些特殊需要儿童在联合孤儿院的地下室里建起了第一间教室，并聘请商务教育学硕士茉莉 丁格尔做老师。
In 1957, due to the need for more class, Perlin bought a hou. Her program quickly outgrew this new space, however, and in 1966 she undertook the construction of a new “amed the Vera Perlin School in her honour.” Her efforts ultimately led to the formation of the association now known as Newfoundland Association for Community Living. Subquently, the St. John’s branch of that association was called the Vera Perlin Society.

Passage 2
Billi Dyer (Excerpt)
比里 戴尔（节选）
If you were to draw a diagonal line down the state of Illinois from Chicago to St.Louis, the
halfway point would be somewhere in Logan County. The county at is Lincoln which prides itlf on being the only place named for the Great Emancipator before he became President. Until the elm blight reduced it in a few months to nakedness, it was a pretty late-Victorian and turn-of-the century town of twelve thousand inhabitants. It had coal mines mines but no factories of any size. “Downtown” was, and still is , the courthou square and stores that after a block or two in every direction give way to grass and hous. Which in turn give way to dark-green or yellowing fields that stretch all the way to the edge of the sky.
如果你划一条连接芝加哥和圣路易斯，斜穿伊利诺伊州的对角线，则中点大约在洛根县附近。洛根县治所在林肯镇，这使该镇引以为豪；在这位解放黑奴的伟人成为总统之前，这是唯一一个以他名字命名的地方。这里曾发生过榆枯病，几个月之间全镇变得赤裸一片；以前它是一个非常漂亮的具有维多利亚晚期风格的，世纪之交的小镇，约有一万两千居民。小镇有几座煤矿，但是大小工厂一个也没有。县政府办公大楼前的广场和几家商店一直是“繁华地带”，在走过一两个街区，四面尽是草地和民房。再往外看，便是墨绿色或金黄色的田野，一直伸展到天际。
