sELF-sUPPoRT FOR BLIND
Maine School to Pay Them for
Work at Trades-WlII Make 5rooms
and Weave Rugs.

Portland, Me.-If the plan which
Millard W. Baldwin. the new head OF
the Maine School for the Blind in this
city, is to put into operation when
the next term of the school opens
proves q success there will be no
blind person buried in a papuper' 8
grave or go to hospital as char
ity patient In the future.
This school is an industrial one,
where the blind are taught to make
brooms, cane chairs, weave rugs and
other trades such as are adaptable
to the blind In the past those who
went there have received no compen-
sation for their labor. They were
given their board and no more.
BY Mr.. Daldwin's plan each man
and woman will be paid on the piece
system. At the end Of each week his
or her board will be deducted. In ad'
dition a certain per cent, according
to the amount earned, will be taken
out and deposited to, the earner's
credit in a savings bank. So long as
the blind person remains in the school
this money cannot be drawn from the
bank by him or her, except by the
approval of the trustees Of the
school. In this way a fund will be
created for each pupil for use in la
ter life. Another feature which will
be introduced in the school by the
new superintendent is that of read
Ing the newspapers to them. A GER
tain hour will be designated, when
all will gather in the big hall of the
school and Mr.. Baldwin will read the
important news of the day to them.
Mr.. Baldwin is a native of the State
of New York and was for many years
connected with tie educational work
OF that state, both as a teacher and
a supervisor of schools. For several
years past he has been engaged in
business in Maine, but was induced to
take his present position because OF
- lifelong interest in the work OF
teaching those afflicted with loss of

OUTLINE OF WORK DONE BY
WOMAN'S MISSIONARY COUNCIL
by CAROLYN b. ELLIOTT

The entire field of missionary work of
the Southern Methodist church is under
the auspices of the board of missions,
the members of which are elected quadre-
nially at the general conference.
The ex-officio membership includes the
bishops, president of the Laymens Mis-
sionary movement, and corresponding
secretary of the Board of Church Exten-
sion Besides these there are ten preach
ers, ten laymen and ten women; the latter
receiving their nomination through the
Woman's Missionary council.
This cooperation of the men and wom-
en- of the church, as well as the unifica-
ton of the foreign and home depart
ments. into one great missionary move
ment marks this unique organization.
the only one of its kind in the world.
There are two secretaries for the depart
ment of foreign missions. two from the
department of home missions two educa-
tional, and two editorial secretaries. In
efch instance one of these is woman
while 1t is also required that the office
of assistant treasurer be held by a
woman.
For the sake of expediency, and in ac-
eordance with the policy of the general
board, the work of the women and chill
dren of the church is conducted through
the channels of the Woman's Missionary
council. This body is made up of sec
retaries from each conference organiza-
tion, which in turn is composed of repre-
sentatives from numerous local auxil-
iaries and the local auxiliary depends
upon the Individual member. SO here at
last is the foundation upon which the Sc
curty and usefulness of the whole world
structure rests. Here at last is one little
niche of opportunity. where some little
share of the big worlds happiness de
pends upon some one quiet life.
The work of the council Is carried on
through two departments, known as the
foreign and home.
Under the foreign are the five mission
fields of Mexico, Brazil. Cuba, China and
Korea. In these countries will be found
the 4O,0OO.O0o souls whose destiny has been
their share of the 50o000000 of the UNI
evangelical world. To help accomplish
this the women of the church have l09
missionaries in the fields. with POP native
helpers. They maintain q boarding
schools and A day schools, with 6l24
pupils. There are also 10 native work.
ers, or Bible women, five Bible schools,
TAI scholarships and one hospital. The
board owns property amounting to $685.,
500, invested in 43 buildings. They un-
dertake medical aid educational and
evangelistic work.
The home department embraces all
