The amuscments OF blind children are

be enjoyed by them. and those games
that are played indoors differ largely
from those OF seeing children. either 10
their construction or In their use.
One reason. perhaps. that there arc so
few games for blind children lies in the
fact that there are very few blind
children TO play games. Those who see
have an idea that all blind persons have
been accustomed to the loss OF their eye.
sight all their lives. This Is In reality
very far from being the case. Only five
per cent Of the blind are born without
cyesight. Seven per cent lose their sight
under the age OF ten years. Thirteen
per cent become blind between the agei
OF ten and twenty. Thirty per cent meet
