CURRY PROMOTING PLAN TO
HAVE HOME FOR THE BLIND
Believes Employment Should be
Provided for Homeless Pupils
From Institution.

DR.. R. S. Curry, formerly OF
this city, who is now Superintend-
ent of the Mississippi institution
for the blind at Jackson, spent
several days the past week in
Columbus.
DR.. Curry has recently launched
plan for the establishment OF a
home for the blind, where gradu-
ates of the institution, and other
deserving persons. can secure
regular employment at trades that
will enable them to earn a liveli-
hood, says thel Jackson Daily
News.
Letters were recently sent out
over the state appealing for help
in establishing this home, and a
goodly number of encouraging
replies have been received.
I'VE teach our pupils useful
trades at the institution" says DIR.
Curry, but when they leave us
many Of them are unable to find
lucrative employment. They 90
back into the world almost help
less, and as a remedy for this we
ought to provide home where
they can be carefully provided
for, and at the same time it can
be operated on a self-sustaining
basis, or doubtless at a COED profit
for those employed
The looms recently installed in
the industrial department at the
institute are now in operation, and
the first product was beautiful
rug which DR., Curry is proudly
exhibiting.
