A Communication.

AT the coming session OF the legisla-

these none will have more merit. or will

some step should be taken which will en-

lCnS.
In dealing with the question of provid-
ing aid for the adult blind, there are three
methods which might be adopted: l. To
a home. 8. TO establish a training
school where they will be taught a trade.
The first or these methods would render
only partial assistance. and would be a
source of constant expense to the State.
The adoption of the second plan would
make the blind an isolated class, which is
by no means advisable In all probabili-
" it would also have i tendency to less
en- the value of real-estate in the neigh
horhood of such a home. The, last of

would not only enable the blind to earn
their own living. but would also, in
the end, be the least expensive for the
State.
Life is ever uncertain. and no man can

should meet with such 2 n,isnap, he would
indeed be placed in deplorable circum-
stances. for he would then have no means
OF supporting HlInSSll, whereas q Eist re
siding in Canada, if he becomes blind,
would receive three years free training,
thus giving him new start in life; Does
not this fact emphasize the need in this
State of such an institution?
The Maine Association for the Blind
desires to thank those who have already
Interested themselves in this movement.
and also to invite them to renewed eff
