Many of the babies were taken from
the home for feeble minded and placed
there because there was no provision
for blind babies. As a consequence
their little minds were never developed
and it they were left there they would
eventually become idiots. It was this
pitiable condition of the babies that
first appealed to the Sunshiners who did
not believe that being blind meant that
the mind was feeble.
The kindergarten training has done
wonders for these little ones and IN

to have normal mental powers. With

Sunshine for the Blind Babies.

No more beautiful humanitarian
work is being carried on anywhere than
that of the International Sunshine
society in New York, in behalf Of the
blind babies. The society has a home
at 500 Gates avenue, New York, and it
is the only institution in the state where
blind babies are cared for. State and
city institutions for the blind take no
children under 5 or years Of age. The
Sunshine home educates and cares for
the children until they are Of the proper
age to be admitted into the state insti-
buttons. The first annual report gives
history of the work. Mrs. Alden and
Mrs Cynthia Tregear were the first two
members Of the branch for the blind.
Mrs. Frederick P. Fish, of Boston, was
the first contributor, sending 800 to
open bank account, and Feb. 20, 1904,
a kindergarten in little fiat of three
rooms was opened. In June the owner
of the old Turnbull mansion at9Bartow--
on-Sound, invited the blind babies to
share the home with her. When fall
came their kind hostess offered the use
of the house for the winter and the
babies were kept there until January,
when the present home was given by
the, woman s board of managers Of the
Industrial Home for Blind Men. Sun

States have contributed the furniture,

Some Sunshine Work.

Harrisburg hospital. -
North Carolina Sunshiners are raising
funds to build cottage for old Mr.. and
Mrs. Belcher, who are both poor and
crippled. The little log cabin which has
been their home for so many years is
sadly dilapidated.
A woman living in Connecticut
started Sunshine fund in memory OF
her husband to help boys and girls.
The account opened with 5000. The
first money bought shoes for blind
boy and the second demand upon the
fund purchased clothing for a newsboy.
The Methodists of Hartford, Conn.,,
had a Sunshine day recently and every
pastor of this denomination preached
short sermon on "Sunshine.' ~.
The little crippled girl for whom the
Sunshine society in New York has been
