 Needs-I call attention to the following extract from my report of two years ago.: ''I respectfully request that serious con- slderation be given to the advisa bility of adding broom-makins to the industrial department. Opinions and estimates from experienced members of the profession. as to the value of this industry to the blind, will as early as practicable be se- cured, and when received win be referred to you"
 Following up the purpose get forth in this reference, addressed circular let- ter to the superintendents of all the Schools for tha Blind in the United States. In this letter l asKsd a reply to the

with them the first as wen as the great est difficulty in the requirement of an education for the reason that 1t Is to them as much a foreign language as French or German to an English-speaking hearing child.
 With the blind much attention is given to music, there being Hio means by which talented blind person can more rapidly. more pleasantly make living than by following the profession of music. The Idea, however, that all blind persons are musical. is as fallaclous as 1t Is wide- spread; the proportion of natural musi- clans among the Blind is no greater than among seeing persons, and to think that it is. only another evidence that many people believe the blind to be precocioue and peculiar whom they are neither.
 In all of these schools there is Q me- chanical or industrial department, whare the pupils are given trades, by means of which they may become entirely, or In part, self-supporting. At the School for the Deaf, the boys are taught habits of industry; they receive special instruction at the following trades: Printing. shoe. making, cabinet and carpenter work. painting, vegetable and landscape gAr- dening; the girls are taught house work. plain and machine sewing, dressmalEinR, cutting and fitting, croeheting, house. cleaning etc.
 At the School for the Blind. the boys are taught mattress-mak ng cane-seating. collar-makirg. basket-making, piano. tuning and repairing. etc. The girls also learn cane-seating. in addition to sewing, knitting. crocheting. house-eleaning, etc.
 Thee several arts and t;ades are taught solely for the purpose of bsnefting the pupils. and while there isIsome little rev. enue from some of the shops they are without exception run at an expense; bat thls Is not allowed to stand in the way of the best interests of the pupils. The provision ma 7e for instruction in each branch is q s'-class the t. ades being car Iied on in the same way, and viewed iu the same light as the literary and musical departments. We consider the industrial department equally as important as the educational department. The average deaf-mutc OF blind person, who has no t;ade to rely upon is almcss certain to n ake a failure m life. Many who could never hope to command more than eight to fiftC sn dollais per month as common laborers. with their trades learned In school often make that much per week.

school has increased in efficiency the grat- flying result has followed that many of the pupils manifest a much more lively appreciation than ever of what the State is doing for them, and are more anxious to perfect themselves in their studies and In the var.ous departments of handicraft. The facts are at present that in order to better enable us to mold the character and train the thoughts and habits of our pupils 1t Is necehsary to receive them at an early age. And in the development of speech and in instruction In the art of lip-reading 1t is necessary to the best results that we receive our pupils when they are young. A child coming to us af seven years of age. 10 with us from five to seven years, until he Is twelve or four teen years old. before we can begin his training In any of the departments of handicraft, he then has only three terms in which to acquire knowledge of one or more of the branches in our industrial department.
 For many of our pupils the ten-year limit is desirable. we have done for them In thls time all that can Do done, or all that the capacity of the child justifies us in attempting to do for him at the ex- pense of the State; but for a certain per cent of cases where children were re- ceived very young. and In cases that promise full returns for the time and money expended or them the term of pupilage should by all means be extend ed.
 Feeble Minded Child--n-This is the fourth biennial report in which 1 have called your attention to this class of children, and each year the need of some provision for them becomes more impdra- N. class of unfortunates having greater need of sympathy, or greater claim upon us for aid and protection. Every county and community In the State has its share of these children, many of them be- longing to families utterly unable to do any thing to improve their condition, and in many instances to care for them properly.
 During the past two years have turn ed away more than twenty such cases which were brought to this school for the reason that we could uut instruct them by the methods used with our normal deaf children. and for the additional reason that VIC are expressly forbidden 70 receive or retain such cases.
 As the legislature does not meet again for four years feel tmpelled to bring the matter to your attention once more in the hope that some step may be taken looking toward State aid for this class of our chlldren.

SOME HISTORICAL FACTS
Which Show the Phenomenal Growth o2 the Anheuser-Eusch Brew
 ing Association,


 The story of the success of the Anheu- ser-Busch BIewlng Association practi- cally begins with le60, the year Mr. Adol- phus Busch bought an interest in the concern which was then being conducted in 6 small and mode. ately paying way.
 The concern was known at that time as B. Anheuser & Go. In 1873 1t was inco. = porated under the name of E. Anheuser & Co.'S Brewing Ass ociation with Mr. E. Anheuser as President and MT Adolphus Busch as Secretary and General Man ager. Upon the death of Mir. Anheuser In 1880. Mir. Busch succeeded to the Pres idency. which position he still holds.
 The Anheuser- Busch Brewing Associa- ton are the recognized pioneers in the bottled beer industry as they were the first to bottle beer for export success fully.
 Under Mir. Busch's sldllful guidance the business developed phenome naily. Year after year it was necessary to add new and larger structures to keep pace with the ever increasing sales, 50 that now the entire plant coye.s 8 an area of about 125 acres (equal to 50 city blocks) and consists of a brew house of 5000 bar rels daily capacity. bottling wo. ks of 100000 bottles daily capacity. ice plants of $50 tons daily capacity. malt houses of 1BOOV OGouOlS Qdlly CdpdClLys d COO- Ing capacity of 2.s50 tons per day, storage elevators for malt and barley of 1,250, 00o bushels capacity. stock houses for lage- ing purposes of 425.00o barrels capaci y, a power plant with 60 900 square feet Of heating surface, equal to 7.750 ho Sc power, of which 1000 horse power are transferred to the electric power plant just completed and is the Ia gest and most complete plant of its kind of any private corporation in the country.
 Besides the above, the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Assoeiation own and operate their own railroad. to connect with the terminals. Also tin. carpenter. wag n. paint harness and cooper shops.
 S50O employees are engaged at the St. Louis plant. About l.50O additional men are employed at the Assoclation's forty two branches in the principal cides of the Union.
 The buildings are of most modern architecture and are built of red b ick. trimmed with granite and white stone, and present most imposing picture.
 Blk guides are employed to take care of visitors and 1t Is safe to say mo o-e peo- ple pass through this great plant than through any other establishment In the world
 These figures form an interesting record of growth: In 1865, 5000 barre were so d. and in 1901. the million barrel mark was passed. the sales for 1902 being l,1O9 315 barr els, and by far exceeds the output of any other brewery.
 The trade of the Anheuser- Busch Asso- clation ts not confined to the United States or the American continent. but the famous "Budweiser." which is justly te. nAed The King of Bottled Beers" is well known to the civilized people throuhgout tho entire world. -adv

TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. IS, 1908.

A WASHINGTON paper publishes an
interview with prominent Richmond
democrat, in which the latter states that
.swhateyer else may happen as a result
of the Richmond street car strike 1t will
have the effect of nipping in the bud
the political aspirations Of Common
vealth's Attorney Richardson because
in the execution of the duties OF his
office he prosecuted some Of the men
arrested on the charge Of rioting." The
oprominent democrat" is quoted as say
ing:
The labor people and their sympa-
thizers sway the primary elections ID
Richmond every time. Naturally tney
will 60 against Richardson. The argu-,
menf that he is only doing his duty Will
have no weight with them. They VIII
remember that he prosecuted Their
friends.
snch twaddle puts the labor people IN
Richmond in an awkward position and
their true friends believe it does them an
Injustice and reflects upon their intelh'
oence. Sensible laboring men are just
as much interested in seeing the laws OF
their State and city upheld as are any
other class Of people and to say that
they will defeat an officer at the polls
simply because he performs his sworn
dutv is an insult to their manhood and
good citizenship.

measuring the cup yachts Reliance and
Shamrock III. was commenced at Erie
basin today and tonight the mooted

taken, the racers will be towed to their
mooring bouys in Sandy Hook bay.
This morning the water was let into the
dry dock where the defender lies, and
when she was hoated she was taken to
