Club Women Suggest Model Homes for WOrRncn

r F the now San Francisco is not the
"City Sanitary" as we'll as the
i City Beautiful" it will not be the
fault of the members of the Cali
fornia Club, who are busily planning
all sorts of clever and practical sug-
gestions which they will send to the
mittee bearing upon the model homes
to be erected for workmen. A let
ter was sent to Thomas Magee, chair
man of the Relief Commission build
ing committee, last week, in which
the members made several recon-
mendations. Among the most i'm
portant of these and one on which
the club committee is laying the
greatest stress at the present time is
that requesting that the cottage pa
vilion to be erected on the Almshouse
tract for the accommodation of the
increased number of elderly indigents
be so built that when the contem-
plated use is no longer necessary it
may be converted into tuberculosis
sanitarium for the inmates of the
Almshouse who are thus afflicted.
The committee, which consists Of
Mrs. S. S. Palmer, Mrs. A. Schloss,
Mrs. Z. L. Baldwin and Mrs. J. w.
Orr, president of the California Club,
requests that woman be appointed
on the housing committee, which they
consider necessary as an auxiliary to
the building committee, to pass on
the plans and interior arrangements of
the houses to be built. They desire
also that the plans for cottages of
three or four rooms be so arranged
that the buildings can be easily and
conveniently enlarged; that due re-
gard be given to household con-
veniences, light and sanitary regula-
tons; that they have air space and
yards; that the exterior of the cot
ta&es be pleasing to the eye; that

A New AID to the Blind.

DR.. George NJ. Gould, the Philadelphia
eye specialist, writing to the New York
Science of the recently improved Rouls-
sen device for the reproduction of speech,
known as the telegaphone, suggests that
this be employed to take the place of the
cumbersome, expensive, slow and weary
ing embossed letters and points through
which books are o made available to
the blind. In this way a book could be
read to the sightless or to the invalid
while the patient lies in bed, and lectures,
concerts, Rotations, ETC., may be had at
will. Letters may be dictated or spoken
upon the thin sheets Of steel, and these,
after being sent by mail to a distant
friend, will reproduce the voice OF the
sender exactly as to infection, pitch 9nd

The College Bred Farmer.

Prof. L. H. Bailey, director of the Cor.
nell university college Of agriculture, in
the third of his series Of articles for The
Century, gives the result Of his inquiry
among his students an to what practical
use they expected to put their education.
Of the 179 replies received, seventy-eight
were those Of students reared on the farm.
OF these, sixty-eight desired to go into
practical farming and then to teaching
and experimental work. OF the siNty-nine
students reared In town or city, forty
four wish to go into practical farming,
fourteen into teaching, eight into land
scape gardening and the rest undecided.
OF the fourteen women students, two
want to become practical farmers and
twelve teachers of nature study and agri-
culture. OF the eighteen foreign students,
fifteen wish to return to the farm and
three to enter experimental work. Prof.
Bailey says that the agricultural college
is now teaching from the farm rather thar
rom the academic point of view.

ment's pause.

Every one believes that this ID the
