HOME TEACHING
FOR SIGHTLESS

(By the Ohio Commission for the Blind.)
Have you a friend who is blind?
Is his life that of shut-in? Would
he not be happier IL field Of activ-
ity were opened to him?
One OF the purposes Of the Ohio
Commission for the Blind Is to send
teachers to the homes OF the blind
adults to bring to them the opportun-
ity to learn reading with the fingers.
There Is open, free of charge, to all
blind readers fine library of excel
lent books, and our government has
also provided for the sending OF the
books from the library TO the reader
and back to the library again with
out cost for postage; In other words,
the books are franked.
Hand work of various sorts would
also be taught by home teachers,
Thus occupation would take the place
of idleness. Only lack of money to
carry on this work has forbidden its
prosecution. The general assembly
will be asked to provide for this
great work in tho appropriations to
be made this winter.

STOP BLINDNESS

(By the Ohio Commission for the Blind)
"In the clear field for preservation
OF eyesight our allied antagonists,
syphilis and gonorrhoea, still loom
hugely menacing. Not that their
menace to eyesight is as fierce as to
sanity or woman's life and health.
Yet persistenly, unabatingly, syphilis
dims and sometimes obllterates the
sight Of children, women and men,
quite guiltlessly infected. Children,
congenitally infected, escape blind
ness only. in many instances, to lose
all brilliancy of sight. And their
elders occasionally go quite blind. AS
for that twin evil to syphilis, gonor-
rhoea, II deals out darkness still
more ruthlessly, and with cold In
Justice. The few adults whose eyes
become involved almost invariably
infect only one eye. The percentage
Of cures Is low, but the uninfected
eye still serves. Not SO with babies.
Infected innocently at birth, their
eyes are almost always both in
voived; and without expert treat

and lifelong blindness.
"Some day the public will stand
erect, shake itself, look its enemies
In the face. Then syphilis and gon-
orrhoea. Judged clearly as destruc-
tive diseases, not confusedly as by
products of sin, will be controlled,
restricted, largely stamped out. Nor
wegians, taking the question up
purely as one of public health, ap-
pear to have solved 1t, in part ut
least and by the use of unsentimen-
tad intelligence. Can not Americans
attack the same task? Just now a
fuslllade of leaflets doubtless does
something. for this individual and
for that. Leaflets, however, leave
syphilis and gonorrhoea as safe as
Gulllver In Lilliput, target for
tiniest arrows These first causes of
blindness are as yet lmpenetrable to
attack. Only results are vulnerable.
But these results are diseases of the
eye which themselves may be cut

off. The childhood eye-disease caused
by congenital syphilis can probably
almost always be prevented by long
and patient expert care; and the
gonorrhoeal infection Of babies eyes
at birth can be neutralized by an act
as easy as rolling off log"
Thus writes Henry Copley Greene.

DARK HOUSE
At The Cooper Theatre The
First Half Of The Week

Owing to the fact that Manager
Hartman of the Cooper theatre was
disappointed in the showing made by
the stock company which played in
the city during last week, the house
will be dark during the first three
days of this week. The Sanford Stock
Co. was engaged by the management
for period of two weeks as 1t was
thought to be first-class comptny,
but 1t resulted in failure and as re-
suit, the engagement was cancelled
to one week and 1t has been impos-
sible to secure an attraction for the
first half of the week. An effort is
being made by Mr.. Hartman to secure
a good bill for the last three days al.
though no company has yet been def.
initely decided upon.
