 * DYK review:
 * Article is new (as of 12th), good length, well sources, appears to meet all content policies.
 * Hook length good, catch is good, but I wonder if we can add the timeframe (1850s) to it easily - you have room in the 200 characters limit but the ways I think of adding it changes the intended meaning. Maybe ..that the Missouri School for blind adopted the braille system in the 1850s, the first school in the United States to do so?  That feels like it loses the catch, so I don't know if there's a better way around that.
 * QPQ met, no image suggests so ok there.
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Very nearly there, just would like to see if we can improve that hook. --M ASEM (t) 17:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
