Fully nifty years after the foundation
Of this Institute the first American
schools for the blind were founded.
by DR.. Friedlander. Of Philadelphia.
and DR.. Howe. of Boston. DR.. Howe
had already; educated Laura Bridgman
and DR.. Friedlander started the school
at Overlook. Pa. which Ii 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 fnfantils blindness,
and these schools are. as a rule, well
equipped. the home teaching societies
in America are inferior to those
abroad. Recently. the legislature OF
Massachusetts, made an appropriation
to employ three blind 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 a magazine which will be print
ed both in Braille and New York
Point. This raised print which Is uni
versally used is the invention of Louis
Braille. teacher in the National In
stitute for the Blind. He died without
seeing his alphabet adopted but II con-
sists of using six dots to represent the
various twenty-six letters. The New
York point is a horizontal adaptation
of the six points which In Braille are
used perpendicularly.

avery institution of any age not
l. only honors its traditions, but
also preserves with little vary
~ ing changes its customs and
usages which are among its distin-
gushing features. This is true of
educational institutions, and particu-
larly of the German universities. OF
the latter Heidelberg-oId Heidelberg

its historic lore and In those pranks

skill. which are practically the same
today as two centuries ago. These
distinctive characteristics, together
with its well merited reputation for
training mind and body. has made this
time-honored university not only the
pride Of many generations of Germans.
but likewise the pride OF generations
Of other nationalities. Every phase Of
the German boys education seems to
differ from our own. yet the univer-
stiles Of both nations have sent out
grand, good men who have made
names for themselves and whose work
has benefited humanity. The rules
and regulations, the faculty and the
mode Of housing the students are like
wise different from our own. At Hell

One persistent and remarkable STUN

to contend with Is the reluctance Of
parents Of sightless children to send
them to school where they can be

masseurs. nine hundred were blind.
Their sense Of touch Is so acute that
at Overlook massage Is an important
part Of the curriculum.
In fact IT Ia wonderful what the
blind can do II they are given an op-
portunity to learn and to apply their
knowledge. A blind electrician keeps
the bells and batteries in order in the
New York Association and two blind
girls act as secretaries In the ONCE.
This association asks the public to dc
tate letters to these girls and to send

and walls. Every effort Ia made to
have the public employ these trained
blind persons and to send them tickets
for concerts. theatres and lectures.
Z Present efforts for the blind may be
in their infancy. but certain things are
established as essential for their relief.
Among them are laws to prevent un-
n cessary blindness. kindergarten

ing, special classes for backward blind
children. scholarships for qualified

Tables and chairs are placed around

The different Korps do not intermin-

There is great art in Schlaeger fight

most serious duels sometimes reach
forty-five rounds and are arranged by

face each other the umpire demands
silence. and at the word "Go!" the
men begin. Blood often flows at the

which is q prsventable disease and for
which the law holds the person In

blind children among the poorer
classes and the influences that sur
round them often stunt them mentally
and physically. A blind child II apt
to lead neglected life without the

Gradually but surely the education
Of the blind Is rising to a higher plane
and the time will slowly come when
1t will be provided for by An educa-
tional fund. It will then cease to be

their livings. This Is what the blind
desire. When II was decided to found
