lined for the help of the blind.
There are various things the blind
can do in the way OF self-support;
they need only the aid and prestige of
professional training to make them
independent in the otherwise helpless
condition to which an unhappy fate has
consigned them. 1t is to the credit
of Utah that she is giving willing ear
to these pleas for assistance, thus
taking her place among the progress
sive and humane commemorative Of
the nation. For this measure OF sue
cess, thanks are due the earnest, ac-
tive workers who have instituted and
aided the cause.
PROMINENT PROMOTER.
Albert NJ. Talmage, one OF the prin-
cipal promoters of the Society for
the Aid of the Sightless'' and the
Western Association Of the Blind"
in Utah. and a brother Of DR..
James Il. Tallnage of this city, was
born in England. He lost his sight
through an accident just previous to
his sixth birthday, and shortly after
came to this country with his parents.
There was no school for the blind
in Utah, and his parents decided not
TO send him to any of the outside in-
situations, as they feared to have him
Ear away from home. But books and
appliances were secured for him and
with slight aid he taught himself to
read and Use the various appliances.

HUMBLE BEGINNING.
The narrative OF how this Western
association began with eight blind,
no money on hand or place to meet
Is deeply touching; and there Is
great rejoicing that from that humble
beginning of organized effort have
blossomed the fair hopes that now
brighten at the horizon.
These had Il wonderful impetus in
the establishment of an auxiliary
reading room for the blind. This
important aid was effected through
the efforts of Mrs. Andrew S. Rowan
OF Fort Douglas. who carly last fall
took initial steps for establishing the
reading room where the blind may
come at stated times and listen to
readings from entertaining and use
full books. This Is an adjunct to the
Packard free library q room in the

pose by the president of the board
