| Association of Blind.
The annual convention OF the Association
Of the Blind was given over to a discussion
of systems of writing and reading. The
American Brazil and the New York point
systems both have their partisans and the
convention will likely decide by vote which
system should be used. The convention
will also ask that each of the state schools
give an honor scholarship to a graduate of
the school for the blind at Vinton. If the
state school starts the movement people
say that the denominauonal schools will
follow suit and in this way number of
blind will be given opportunities for gaining
a higher education which they do not now
have

tionable an injunction to prevent the en-
forcement of the DEGREES, The company
was threatened by the attorney general
with prosecution under the state law and
| following a conference in Chicago the IN
junction proceedings were withdrawn, and
the orders issued that the rates go into
