and the other members of the house

struggles to devote much time and at

Many blind persons so situated be-
come insane In the course of time. and
under the most favorable circumstances
their lot is hard one. And yet blind

his prejudice in favor of home as

Dr.. F. Park Lewis. who is with
Helen Keller vice president OF the New
York Association for the Blind. and
who is now in Europe gathering data
and statistics for use in the coming
campaign. is authority for the state
ment that by the instillation OF a solu-
tion OF silver salt in the eyes OF the
new born infant blindness among
young children could be in few years
absolutely abolished, and that by sub
sequent supervision over the childs
eyes during the school going period
the blindness Of sdult life could be
minimized to that comparatively in
nnttesinai percentage attributed to In
hented disease or to the consanguinity
OF the parents OF the victim.

Put them to work-make them self
supporting-ai and encourage them to
a realization of the Joy OF earning their
own livelihood by the exercise OF their
own brains and their own hands. This
the association, though less than year
old. has already put to the test by the
institution of a unique and interesting
experiment. the Blind Workshop, at No.
14s East Forty second street.
A Singular Workshop.
The Blind Workshop is the strangest
workshop in the world, and thus far is
without parallel in any other country.
1t is workshop where al the Work
ers are stone blind, where all the man
ayers and foremen. every one. in fact.
connected with the establishment, are
stone blind. And yet it is not an In
stitution. it is not a charity in the
mucn abused sense of that word; IT is
simply a workshop conducted upon
strictly economic principles. like any
other workshop might be conducted.
and one in which the workers. though
blind. are enabled to earn their living
with the same amount of freedom and
independence that other more fortu-
nate citizens are accorded by society.
The shop is as yet crude and prinlf-
tive In its equipment, which thus far
offers facilities only for broom making
and chair-caning. for the association Is
badly hampered for want OF funds At
present the shop occupies loftewhich
is reached by two flights OF steep and
rickety stairs, but as the experiment
is proving so successful. the associa-
tion of which the Rev. Dr. Lyman ABB
bott is president. hopes to interest rich
philanthropists to such an extent as 20
obtain a fund for cossuucting the work
upon large and thoroughly equipped
plan.
What we are in crying need OF IS q
big. sunshiny. well equipped factory
building. where every blind man and
woman in New York city can be sivsf

spring universal conncence. OF spIu-
tion of the necessary silver salt FOR
distribution by the health department
OF every State gratuitously to every
obstetrician, physician or midwife
qualified TO care for the expeetant
mother.
The humanitarian aspects OF such q
departure from precedent are too OBJ
vious TO require comment. while the
economic side must also make a strong
appeal to the practical citizen. Re-
garding the latter phase OF the project
DR.. Lewis said before the recent meet
ing of the New York State Medical
Society:
! The loss OF sight on the part OF an
infant makes the individual a State
care In some measure OF life. For the
education Of It's blind children annually
New York alone pays per capita at
least $3.50 and a yearly gross sum
amounting to much more than 500 000
If. as sometimes happens, the blind citi-
zen is a dependent throughout a long
life, the cost of maintenance is not less
than $4,000. and ts.- mere cost In
money will be multiplied many times
in that a productive factor. by reason
of blindness, has been removed from
the community. II. therefore, as an
economic proposition IL were realized
how vitality Ii concerns the State that
not one child shall needlessly become
blind, thereby increasing the public
financial burden, there is no doubt that
early and effective measures would be
instituted to protect the State from this
unnecessary and extravagant cxpendi-
ture of public funds
Meanwhile there are the thousands
of adult blind victims OF the vicious
system OF the past. q vast proportion OF
whom are dependent. entirely or par

with the resumption of family life has
come as a veritable gift from God.
The majority of the men. however.
had been used to sitting at home until
the opening of the shop gave them an
opportunity of learning one or the
other of the trades worked at here.
In dealing with the blind women on
it's list the association has initiated an
equally new departure. WHICH 1t Is
hoped will tide them over until such
time as $4,000 can be raised to estab-
