Ii has been truthfully said that any dis

serious trouble. Nobody can be too careful
to keep the balance up. When people begin

BLIND AT SWITCHBOARD.

-
Boston Transcript: How to pro-
vide employment for the blind is a
question hal has been given at least
more practicable answer. The
blind man be trained into competent
telephone operators. It was In Balti-
more that a blind girl passed the
severest test Of the work, and now
the Maryland School for the Blind has
turned out five other well trained
girls.
The possibilities OF this occupation
are not unknown to- Massachusetts in
stitutions. A number OF cases are on
record of their pupils who have under
various conditions done excellent
switchboard work, the most conspicu-
GUS being that of the young woman
who operates the exchange at West
Burke, VT. which includes twenty
toll lines Of 140 subscribers and an
average of twenty toll calls daily. In
training certain pupils the local in
stitutions for the blind have had the
cooperation of the training school for
switchboard operators maintained by
the New England Telephone Co.
The blessing that this semi-mechan-
ical employment may be, even to
the partly blind, may be guessed from
a typical case-that OF q young woman
whose eyesight and nervous system
were both breaking down under the
strain of bookkeeping work, which she
was obliged to perform with the aid
Of an intense light and powerful
lens. The training of the private
