Treatment for Blind Children.

Miss Emily Roebling of Trenton is
one of the most active members of
the New Jersey commission to exam,
inc into the condition and treatment of
the blind of the state. She is reported
to be in favor of having a visiting
teacher in every town to instruct the
blind rather than segregating them
in institutions. The librarian of the
blind library connected with the pub
lie library at Lynn, Mass. herself
blind from early youth, disagrees with
Miss Roebling and believes that blind
children should be sent to school
with those enjoying their sight. Later.
at the age when other children are
usually sent to boarding school, she
thinks they should be sent to schools
for the blind.

uow The surpIIee orIaInated.

The old Scotswoman who referred
to the surplice as a "sark" or shirt
was perfectly correct. For that Is
what it originally was. according to
the London Chronicle. After the In
vasion of the northern barbarians 1t
was a common custom to wear a
white shirt over the sheepskin or
otter skin then in use. Hence. in the
twelfth century, writes Dean Stanley
in his christian Institutions" arose
the barbarous name of superpellicium
or surplice-the overfur. Its name In
dictates that 1t is the latest of eccles-
i~astical vestments. and though, like
all the others. generally worn both by
clergy and laity. indoors and out OF
doors, 1t is the most remote in descent
from primitive times"

The reason for this change is that
