BLIND TAUGHT FARM
Two New York Boys Learn Art
in Clinton Park.
One Of Them Becomes SO Expert Can
Separate Lettuce and Carrot
Seeds and Tell Color Of
Different Flowers.

New York.-The Children's Farm
School in De Witt Clinton Park has
taught two blind boys to raise crops"
equal In every respect to those of the
children who can see. In fact, Mrs.
Henry Parsons, in charge of the
school, and Mr.. Brady. the boys teach
er, insist that in the matter of beets
and carrots the blind children's work
was superior.
The subjects of the experiment are
Carl and Peter. each 13 years old and
strong boys for their years. Peter Is
totally blind and has to be led every
where. Carl, who can't distinguish
anything more than four inches away
from his eyes, has just enough vision
so that he can go and fill Peters wa
tering pot
Carps sister used to bring him to
the park playground. Leaving him on
a bench she would run off to the
swings, and the boy would sit there
listening to the other children play
Ing. A gymnasium instructor saw
Carl sitting there day after day and
tried to think Of some occupation for
him. Finally the instructor suggest
ed that plot in the school garden be
given to the boy. Then one day Carl
came bringing Peter, and Mrs. Par
sons decided to try the experiment of
teaching the blind gardening for
pleasure If not for profit.
On June 10 they began teaching
Peter and Carl to raise beans, beets,
carrots, onions, radishes, lettuce and
corn, just as the other children do.
A wooden fence was built around
Peters plot, along which cords were
strung to serve as guides to the five
rows of Crops" which were to be
planted. Feeling these and measur-
ing the distances by his fingers and
arm Peter drew his miniature burrows
and dropped or sprinkled his seeds.
In his first attempt to cover the seeds
he knocked the rows askew, but then
by placing his hand on that of his
teacher while he did row in the
right way Peter mastered that art.
No grown-up farmer would like to
weed with his eyes shut, but that is
what both Peter and Carl had learned
10 do. They were taken to other chill.
dren's plots, allowed to feel the differ.
ent seedlings as they appeared, and so
taught to distinguish the tiny plants
from weeds. Hand hoes not more
than foot long were made for them.
BY keeping their left hand fingers a
few inches ahead of the blade they
did their hoeing without cutting down
the vegetables.
Several weeks ago came the time
for the first harvesting on the Chill.
dren's Farm. which raises two rounds
of crops In a summer. AS radlshes
beets and beans approached maturity
the excitement among the small far.

frequently lost to view and the boy
whose beans matured early was like
ly to find himself minus the beans.
Even the observation plots in charge
of the instructors were robbed of their
prize products. But to the credit of
the farm be it said that while the de.
struction walked around them the
blind boys crops were left undis
turbed.
This harvesting was followed by
the second planting. In this Peter
and Carl showed such marked i'm.
provement that Mrs. Parsons believes
that gardening in some Of its branches
can be made an employment for the
blind. The sowing Of beets and car
rots by the blind boys was the best
done on the farm.

To be exact, the place was that of

Not Only Do Children Suffer, but Par

Of Parental Duties-One
Who Dlsagrees.

London.-A striking appeal to the
upper and middle classes not to send
their boys to the "barrack life" of the
boarding school. and so remove them
from the home influence. is made by
the bishop of Hereford.
The bishop was a speaker at the
public morals conference, which was
held at the Caxton hall. Westminster.
The object of tho conference has
been described as "a very earnest at
tempt to convert Mrs. Grundy"-to eff
feet reforms In the moral education of
boys and girls.
Speaking on Education for Parent
hood" the bishop said the English
people of the upper and middle classes
had drifted far too much into an al
most exclusive preference for board
ing school education.
"Boarding-school life IS not a natu-
raj life for the young" he declared,
1T is not only the children who suf.
fer from being sent into barrack life.
but the parents also suffer because
they lose the most sacred responsible,
ties of parental duties.
my experience as head master of
Clifton college-which is both a day
school and a boarding school--leads
me to the conclusion that the best
form Of school education for boys of
the upper and middle classes is that
in which the boy is able to live under
the influence of good home life.
"At the same time boy can enjoy
all that is best in a well organized
boarding school,"

feat which beats that of the girl In
Grimms fairy stories who had to pick
lentils out of the ashes. That girl had
beautiful blue eyes, and even at that
she had to call on her fairy godmothei
to help her out. But Peter, who is
totally blind, can take lettuce ant

enough alike to deceive many persons
who have their sight.
