ally was considered 'wretched Dotch. -
In Florida more than one enumeration
studied his forms awhile, then called in a
few neighbors to a Sunday dinner and pro-
ceeded witch their help to ELL out tae forms
One particularly gifted genius ia the Okee-
chobee region found that he would have to
travel some hundreds OF miles IN canoe
or slzif to canvass his district; so he went
to the country stores &nd made up a list of
their customersl Their possessions were
guessed at from the style of goods they
bought and similar evidences.
In reference TO the attitude taken by
many people regarding the requirements
of the census enumeration Superintendent
Porter recently said to a newspaper CORE
spondent that he did all in his power,
when the bill providing for taking the CEN
sus was under consideration in congress,
to prevent a certain class of information
from being Incorporated in the scope Of the
cepsus work. He talked to the committee
for hours, but without effect, and as the
law provides that these questions must be
asked, there is nothing left for him to do
but to send out the circulars. They can
only be withdrawn now by law of con-
gress'' J. H. BEADLE.

Such, in sober truth, are the somewhat
pointed questions you viii be called on to
answer within few days after this article
meets your eye; and these are by no means
the most pointed questions the census emu
Irerator viii ask you. 1t is enough to
make Christian shUdder to think of the
lying that viii be done in the next few
weeks. In fact, thousands Of men (and
possibly some women VIII adopt for the
occasion a hit Of Mormon theology which
is substantially to this effect when peo-
pie ask about whet they have no business
to know, it is no sin TO lie to them"
Suppose a lady has a slightly deformed
foot, which siillful dressing and long prac-
tice have enabled her to conceal-who be-
lieves that she viii tell the truth about it,
as TO the men, Of course, no one expects
them to tell the whole truth about their dis
eases and debts, past experience in jail,
mortgages and en- barrassments or t'le infor-
nation in answer to such a query as this:
whether a prisoner, convict, homeless
child or pauper?" Yet ali these and many
more questions As. searching are to be asked
by the census enunerators if they follow
the letter Of the law. The law imposes a
heavy fine, 200, for refusal to answer.
But such things viii furnish the smallest
part OF the enBmerators' fun. There is the
matter Of age, and any one who glances
over the tables for any previous census will
be amazed at the number Of women be-
tween Is and %. For some reason-tbe
male mind is not able TO fathom 1.-THE
latter year seems to be taken as the line Of
resistance by most maidens instead of 25,
as commonly believed. 1t can be proph-

teaching them. Still there is no class for
whose members education does so much.
It lifts them from position OF helpless
dependence to an equality with their fell
lows in education and intelligence; it
makes them in most cases able to main
tain themselves, and in many to teach
others. Only about 20 per cent. of the
blind children in this country go to school.
There seems to be no way OF reaching the
others.
The institute is not without its humor-
Gus phases. The sight of holly contested
baseball game played by blind boys is not
soon to be forgotten. The superintendent
led me into large room where the girls go
to receive their clean clothes, bath room
supplies, etc. In neat lockers each one
keeps a brush and comb, towels and other
toilet accessories The superintendent
opened one to show how neatly they were
kept and could scarcely help smiling at
the sight Of little mirror. Just what
these poor creatures want a mirror for is
more than | can imagine. The superin-
tendent could offer no explanation. Nor
can l explain why the carpet in their rooms
is always first worn out in front of the
looking glasses.

In other departments numerous clRfsss
were being instructed in history, arftiEz1e-
tic, the sciences, writing, music and ali the
higher branches. Geography is taught by
the use of raised maps, and the states,
counties, provinces, lakes and morzntalns
are all dissected. A pupil for instance can
take out the state OF New York. ana by
feeling it get its shape, comparative STA,
topographic features, etc. These maps are
made of wood and leather, many OF them
by blind artisans all of the work being
done on the premises. Writing is mainly
taught by the use of paper with depressed
lines and little apparatus or frame that
fits over the sheet. / saw small boy CIV
ing demonstration N physiology by means
of a model of the human body, which he
took apart and described very intelligently-
There is very fine gymnasium with daily
exercises in calisthenscs.
1 saw boys making brooms, furniture,
boxes and many other things. Many of
the pupils have been taught to perform
brilliantly on the piano and organ, and
there is a full brass band at the institute
A mixed chorus sings TO an organ accom-
paniment, and sweeter or more soulful
music 1 never heard. The head music
teacher is blind man, 2 graduate of the
institute. Boys are taught to tune as well
as to play the piano, and are thus fitted for
doubly self sustaining profession. The
music is nearly all written by the point
system, the arrangement of little points
designating the note.
In the Institution there are about 100
children, and separate building on
smaller scale is for colored pupils. The
superintendent says that the blind learn
readily when given the opportunity in sea
son. When they are unframed and neg
Iected their condition is pftiful, and, after
the age of ten, every yesrSs delay in send
ing them to school adds to the difficulty in

Many people think that money is de-
manded from the parents for the care of
their blind children. This is net So Like
any other of the public schools of the state,
of which the Institution for the Blind is
properly a branch, no charge is made for
tuition. Board is free 80 all, books are
supplied by the United States government,
and the state allows the board of visitors
to furnish blind children with clothing,
upon the certificate of the judge of the
county in which the parents reside that
they are too poor to pay for the needed ar
ticles. In addition, every pupil who COM
pletes the full course of instruction salts
factorily, receives a copy of the Bible and
other books in raised letters that may be
deemed suitable.
An inspection of the institution and the
method of teaching blind children is most
interesting. The superintendent, DR.. B.
B. Huntoon, has been in charge for twenty
years. a man of inventive genius, be has
perfected scores of methods and appliances
for teaching the sightless, and he is recog-
nized in this country and abroad as one Of
the most successful men engaged in the
good work. He was pioneer in the de
velopment of printing for the blind, and
was the first to set UP a cylinder press that
could be successfully run on raised letter

the remedies tried gave relief. ard he has
to walk 100 miles TO q town, where be
found man armed with the necessary
skill and 8 pair of forceps. When tie Of
fensHe moiar LETT its nstive Jaw the oatient
gave 8 shout OF relief. and, 70 Judge from
his remark quoted above, hasn't got over
feeling G0od yet.
