blind slrl's Quest I

After having surmounted almost IN
superable difficulties In obtaining her
A, b. degree last June Miss Margaret
has ever had, finds that she did il only
to encounter others. The difficulties
OF equipping herself for work have
given place to those OF finding It.
Immediately after her graduation
Miss Hogan began correspondence
with principals OF schools in the west
as she hoped to become located there
as teacher. She has found. however,
that her inquiries were late, as all the
vacancies are reported filled. Her hope
now is to give tutoring in some of the
subjects she studied at Rarnard-Eng-
lish, Latin. German. French and his
tory.
Miss Hogan became blind at the age
OF five after an illness. She was left
an orphan when seven years old by
the death OF her father. and lost her
mother seven years after that. All her
education up to the time OF entering
Barnard was obtained at the New
York Institution for the Bind. at
Ninth avenue and Thirty-foutrh street.
While she was studying at Barnard
Miss Hogan attended lectures along
with another student. who acted as her
secretary. This student took notes and
afterward read them TO Miss Hogan.
Miss Hogan then wrote out what she
wished on typewriter with embossed
type Her essays and exercises were
written on a typewriter such as people
with normal vision use. Sometimes
Miss Hogan took notes herself.
Miss Hogan was able to take her
course through the aid OF scholar
ship obtained by one OF the principals
OF the New York Institution for the
Blind. while the cost OF her secretary
was borne by New York State. The
state makes an allowance OF $500 a
year for a secretary for each blind
person studying at a college. At the
beginning OF Miss Hogan's fourth year
II seemed as II 1t would be impossible
for her TO complete her course because
Of lack OF funds. The members OF the
senior class at Barnard took the mat
ter In hand and raised $3.50. which en-
abled Miss Hogan to continue.--New
York Herald.

POWER CURRENT
|SNOWAVA|[ABLE
Southern Power Company Line
Tested Saturday

The restless, pnlsating electric ener-
gy of the Southern Power Company is
now sizzling and fretting in the trans
formers OF the Durham sub-station
ready to rush into the motors OF the
industrial plants TO which wires have
been strung and cause the machinery
to whirr.
The power was turned onto the Dur
ham line Saturday. From the water
d iven generators on the Rocky Greek
below Great Falls. s. c.. the myster-
ious energy flashed over the lines from
tower TO tower. over hill and valley,
through the fields of ripening corn and
the forests in which thu leaves are
turning red and gold into the sub
station located on the hill just beyond
the Pearl cotton mill. The distance
from Rocky Greek % Durham is more
than LIS miles. The transmission
lines to Durham is by far the longest
distance over which electric power
has ever been transmitted before. The
high voltage under which the power
IS transmitted oyercomes the resist
ance OF the wires to such an extent
that there is comparatively small
loss in transmission.
Superintendent Moser. Of the South
arn Power Company, was in Durham
