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 obliterates 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, 1t deals out darkness still
more ruthlessly, and with a 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
volved; and without expert treat
ment they often lapse into complete
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
weglans, taking the question up
purely as one Of public health, APP
pear to have solved 1t, in part at
least, and by the use Of unsentimen-
tai intelligence. Can not Americans
attack the same task? Just now a
fusillade of leaflets doubtless does
something, for this individual and
for that. Leaflets, however, leave
syphilis and gonorrhoea as safe as
Gulllver in Lilliput, a target for
tiniest arrows. These first causes OF
blindness are as yet impenetrable to
attack. Only results are vulnerable.
But these results are diseases of the
eye which themselves may be cut

0PHTHALMIA
NEONATORUM

cry the Ohio Commission for the Blind
What is ophthalmia neohatorum
It is a disease which destroys the
sight or greatly reduces the vision in
eyes OF babies. 1t is commonly
known as babies sore eyes," and is
a disease common enough to account
for the blindness of at least 1900 cit
izens of our state. About 75 of the
pupils Of our State School for tne
Blind at Columbus are there now be-
cause Of this disease. 1t is caused
by the presence in the eyes of new
born babe of any one of four varl-
eties of pus germs. In few hours
or days at most it does its deadly

preparing parts of certain machines
for nickel-plating are a few OF many
occupations that can be prodtably
followed by intelligent blind people.
Should not these unfortunate citizens
Of the state have the chance to be
occupied?
II is only as people with sight Will
seek the opportunities and secure
the positions that many Of these
sightless ones will be thus engaged.
True friends OF the blind will let
their sympathy find expression in
some other way than a pity that ends
either in a gift Of penny or two,
or in some useless tears. Find places
where these may work in the home
town and give them the joy OF accom-
plishment and the knowledge that
they are rendering efficient service.

OCCUPATIONS
FOR THE Blind

,tBy ths Ohio Commission for the Bllnd)
Certain forms of work are especial
iy adapted for the blind, but in many
factories sightless operatives can be
employed in useful labor. In one city
of Ohio, in several factories, both
men and women are given the oppor-
tunity to earn their living by hand
work. Wrapping certain small cast
ings in paper, a process that is neces-
sary for their preservation, folding
paper boxes in a box factory, and

and defective vision or blindness en-
sues.
Who viii help to stop this needless
waste? 1t is not enough that physl-
clans are informed and have been
aroused to greater watchfulness.
Nor that labor organizations have
secured some attention to safety
of workingmen. In the end the
general public must be relied upon
to render effective the fight against
ophthalmia neonatorum (babies' sore
eyes), against trachoma and other
diseases either communicable or the
result Of low vitality, against pre-
ventable accidents of all sorts. Tho
appeal is to every citizen to join
the crusade.

NEEDLESSLY BLIND

CI2y the Ohio Commission for the Blnd.)
Ignorance allows much needless
blindness OF babies. Carelessness in
the use of sharp instruments is the
cause Of many accidents to children's
eyes. Our insane Fourth of July cell
ebrations annually put out the vision
of many youth. Defective tools and
machinery cause loss of sight to
adult operatives. Diseases of various
sorts attack specifically the organ OF
vision or cause general low vitality,

A CAMPAIGN OF HOPE

(By the Ohio Commission for the Bllnd)
When the people understand that
much blindness is preventable and
the disease which destroys the eyes
OF many babies in Ohio every year
may be checked in its hideous work
II attacked in time, there will be q
demand for such positive action as
will result in cutting down the steady
procession to our School for the
Blind OF children sightless by neglect.

scourges are amenable to anti-toxins.
1t is a crime that any child should
be needlessly blind from a disease
that, taken in time. may be pre-
vented.
TO inform the public is the purpose
of the campaign Of education on
which the Commission for the Blind
has entered. 1t is a campaign of homo
