GENTLY master of his trade to be able to sup

some other place is found for him. The d.
rector visits the locality where the pupil is
to settle, and arranges for some leading
person, the doctor, mayor or some other
benevolent practical person, to act as his
guardian, the duties being to advise the
blind man If necessary in his business, in
