Wisconsin Rorkshpp for III. Blind.

In order TO give all adult blind rSsi-
dents of our state an opportunity to
work and eventually become able to sup
port themselves, last years legislature
authorized the establishment Of work
shop, in which blind persons might be
instructed in soy1e trade and employed
at some suitable work, they 10 receive
the margin betweeu the cost of material
and the price of the manufactured arti-
Gle.
The board of control selected a suita-
BILE place in the city of Milwaukee, ap-
pointed q manager and instructor, pro-
vided all necessary tools and furniture
and already has eighteen blind persons
employed in various branches of indus
try, such as making baskets, doll car
raiges, slippers, making and repairing
mattresses and re-caning chairs.
The earnings during the first two or
three months, while learning the trade,
are of course very small, and until the
person becomes efficient at his work and
Is able to earn q sufficient amount to
support himself, he should be supplied
with the necessary funds to pay for
board, lodging and other necessary ex-
penses, about 81 per week In case the
party himself or his relatives are unable
to provide sufficient means the small
amount necessary could undoubtedly be
raised by subscription, or If thought best
by the authorities, appropriated out of
public funds

our county who desire to avail them
selves of the advantages offered at this
institution, they are requested TO have
their attention called to it, The neces-
sary blanks viii be furnished on appli-
cation AID any other information gladly
