LEADERS FOR THE BLIND.
Bernard Swenker, Who 10 Blind Con-
ducts School for Dogs.


ducts School for Dogs.
Among the many careers that a dog
that has to work for living may fol-
low is that OF leading the blind. says
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
OF course, the work Is one that re-
quires some training, and there are. In
fact, a number of what may be called
preparatory schools for this sort OF
business.
One OF these schools, and probably
the only one in this country. is con-
Quoted In Queen City avenue, near the
old wooden mills. by blind man named
Bernard Swenker. Swenker formerly
lived in East Seventh street, near Vine,
but for the last two years he has kept
aloof from the public and attended
strictly to his business Of training
dogs to lead the sightless.
He has found that spaniels make the
best guides. and conducts a kennel Of
this breed of dogs
AS the dog which is destined to act
in the place Of pair Of eyes has no
easy task before 1t, only the most in
teligent puppies are chosen to be
trained for the purpose.
whose lifework 1t will be to lead the
blind, Swenker leaves 1t with its moth
er until 1t is at least some four months
old. It's playful babyhood at an end,
the puppy begins to 60 to school, TAX
ing as a first lesson the art of walk
ing in straight line and at steady
pace.
The schoolroom, to begin with, is the
kennel yard; later II is the neighboring
lanes, and by and by the city's streets.
1t takes time for lively young AMI
NAL to learn that sudden dashes here
and there must not be INDUCED In
while some one has hold Of the chain
attached to the collar. But after about
two months of daily practice the les
son is driven home.
BY making excursions in all direc-
tions, leaving the dog to do all the
plotting home, the blind expert tests
and develops its sense of locality. He
further aecustoms 1t to traffic, and by
kindly inslstence impresses on it the
necessity for not only withdrawing it.
self from danger, but its charge as
well.
After from four to five months train
ing the dog is ready for work. 1t is
then, perhaps, nine months old, and Is
kept In constant practice until a pur-
chaser is found. Swenker does not ad-
vertise, but he is known to the officials
of the various charitable organizations
which assist the blind.
When a blind man is anxious to get
about and has no child who can lead
him, dog is ordered from the breeder,
who receives between $25 and $50 for
each animal supplied.
swenker has found his greatest mar
ket in New York and Boston, only hav-
ing sold one dog in Cincinnati.
When it comes to changing hands
the clever little animal makes long
journey by rail, and after 1t has come
to know its new master 1t settles down
without complaint to life Of quiet,
faithful self-sacrifice.
