ten years the advancement made in
their education is very great, and this
advancement Is due to the excellent
Inventions aud appliances which nave
been devised TO suit their needs For
example IN writing what ~ known as
the "Braille' system, named after i,s
inventor, the blind at first used a slate,
designed tc make impressions on paper
by means OF q small pointed ingtru-
ment called a stylus; but now, by
means of q machine similar to a type
writer they are enabled TO write with
great rapldity and ease. There has also
been devised n stereotype maker, on
which impressions are made on brass
plates, and from each OF these plates
thousands OF sheets can with ease be
printed for the use Of the pupils
They pursue the same course OF
study az their sighted brothers and sis
tiers, and their advancement Is ysly
encouraging TO their instructors, Very
much Of the instruction Is given IN the
form Of lectures, although they have
special appliances to aid them in OBJ
tanning considerable knowledge.
The eyes are placed m the finger tips,
30 to speak, and knowledge Of material
things Is brought 10 them by handling
objects.
In geography the maps are dissected,
and by examining each piece, the blind
are enabled TO learn the contour ana
location of the places I'm the world
BESIDES writing their own system OF
dots, the blind are taught scrip. ard
many become very good writer's IN that
way Many practice on the typewriter
ara acquire as great facility rs the
sighted In the use Of that instrument
In arithmetic they use a curious slate,
consisting Of type which they set In
an octagonal cell, the position of the
type indicating the number BY means
OF the slate they are enabled to pro-
coed as far as any pupil In arithmetic
aud may advance into higher nGthe-
MATES.
The blind pupils Of the Utah school
besides receiving a literary education,
have the advantage Of private training
In music, Of which they are usually 80

sons In vocal culture. In ad llt'Sm 60 all

making cane seating hammock maxi
Ing etc, while the girls are learning
