success Is due TO M. de la SiZeranne,
General Secretary of the Blind and
Invalids," philanthropist and author
who has succeeded in obtaining the CO.
operation Of the best thinkers every

One persistent and remarkable stum-
bling block that blind educators have
to contend with Is the reluctance OF
parents Of sightless children to send
them to school where they can be
taught to be useful. In many Instances.
there are people so ignorant that they
do not know such schools exist, but II
is a selfish affection which will allow
a blind child to grow up without be-
ing equipped for life. For this reason.
some Of the best schools IN the coun-

I Gated here.
Fully fifty years after the foundation
Of this Institute the first American
schools for the blind were founded,
by DR.. Friedlander. Of Philadelphia,
and DR.. Howei Of Boston. DR.. Howe
had already educated Laura Bridgman
and DR.. Friedlander started the school
at Overlook, Pa. which is today one
of the most progressive institutions In
the country and possesses the most
beautiful grounds Of any such school.
Since then, the movement has grown
so that many States have institutions
for the blind. Although efforts are
made to prevent infantil. blindness,
and these schools are. as rule, well
equipped, the home teaching societies
in :.rnerica are inferior to those
! abroad. Recently. the legislature OF
Massachusetts, made an appropriation
to employ three. bli25 teachers and
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania have
Home Teaching Societies. but New
York has no appropriation for this
purpose. Neither are our Libraries or
magazines for the blind equal to those
abroad, though Mrs. Zeigler estab-
lished magazine which will be print
ed both in 3raille and New York
Point. This raised print which Is uni
versally used Is the invention of Louis
Braille, a teacher in the National In
stitute for the Blind. He died without
seeing his alphabet adopted but 1t con-

It Is generally conceded that II a
child can be taken early in life and
taught, half Of the battle Is won. Re-
aliZing this, Cynthia Westover Alden
started the Sunshine Home for Babies
IN Brooklyn. Previous to the opening
of this home there were only two
places where blind babies could be
cared form Boston and Hartford.
Twenty-Five babies are now IN this
Sunshine Home. They come from va
rir us States, puny little things, fearful
of everything. Under the kindness
and kindergarten training they learn
to play, dig In the soil. jump and en-
TO-. what other children do. The Home
! is non-sectarlan and all nationallties
are admitted. Some Of the cases come
from spinal meningitis and scarlet
fever. but many instances of blindness
In children are due to lack Of proper
care at time Of birth and after. 1t
Is conceded that over 80 per cent of
blindness is unnecessary, 25 per cent.
being caused by infant opthalmia,
which Is a preventable disease and for
which the law holds the person In
charge at the birth Of baby respon-
sible. Few realize the number OF
blind children among the poorer
classes and the influences that sur
round them often stunt them mentally
and physically. A blind child Is apt
to lead a neglected life without the
play and study that other children
enjoy.
Gradually but surely the education
Of the blind Is rising to higher plane
and the time will slowly come when
1t will be provided for by an educa-
tional fund. 1t will then cease to be
charity and become an accepted
means Of assisting persons to earn
their livings. This is what the blind
desire. When 1t was decided to found
the Buffalo Association after the New
York Association was started, two
blind besgars who made living IN
this way, asked to be taught some
trade whereby they could feel self

A opening OF numerous expert
O ment stations for the blind, the
organizations of the New York Asso-
Citations for the blind and the opening
of the Sunshine Blind Babies Home IN
Brooklyn-all within the past five
years leads people to think that the
psychic moment has arrived when the
blind Of this country will receive the
attention they deserve. Europe has
been for many years more progressive
than we In the care of these unfortu-
mates but we are at last beginning to
appreciate the need OF economic
equipment for those afflicted with the
loss Of sight II the movements to-
ward bettering our facilities for the
blind increase 1t is hoped that those
suffering with blindness will be eman-
cipated from the narrow field to which
they are relegated. There are striking
examples of what blind persons can
do. and what one can do, others can

Who Burned A School House
Near Pembroke.

The Pembroke Journal says there
is a clue to the incendiaries who
burned the Lunderman schoolhouse,
a few miles south of Pembroke, a
few days ago. and that arrests will
soon be made.
The motive is said to have been
that some patrons of the school
wanted the building torn away and
a new one erected nearer to them,
while others preferred that the old
building be repaired and continued
in use for the present at least.
Preparatory to the opening of
school, new seats and desks had been
hauled out from Hopkinsville and
placed in the building just the day
before the fire occurred. Miss
Flossie Reynolds. of Hopkinsville.
who taught the school last year, had
been employed for the present year,
and had planned TO open school the
first Monday in September. 1t is
said that another building is to be
used this year, there being no funds
available for a new house for the
present.

Bethel will return excepting Miss
Jennie Coleman. Miss DeTuncq of
the music. department will also be
back for the third year Of work at
the college.
Miss Wedemuth, who has had the

Next year the work that she has been
doing will be separated. Miss Lois
Finnell will take the work in ex-
preston and will combine with it the
art department. Miss Finnell was
graduated from Georgetown College

since done work in expression with
Prof. Clark Of Chicago University.
She was a teacher Of art for some
time under the direction of Frances
Shouse, late student of William
Cnon of Paris. Miss Finnell comes
highly recommended as a reader
and as an artist.
Miss Louisa Lowe has been en-
gagged for vocal work. She is a
graduate of both the music and
academic departments Of the Wes-
leyan College of West Virginia and
comes from the Conservatory of the
Wesleyan University of Ohio where
she has been doing post graduate

Miss Eta Meisner who was at each.
er of piano last year, has accepted a
position as supervisor and teacher of

England Conservatory and has had a
very successful experience as teach
er of piano. Last year she had
charge of the senior work at the
Woman's College at Richmond, Va.
This institution has called her for
another years work, but she prefers
remaining in her home town.
The work in Domestic Science will
continue to be under the care of Miss
Elma Thompson.
Bethel has an exceptionally strong
faculty this year and local patrons
will find that their children will be
given all of the advantages which
are found in the first two or three
years of colleges in other states.
