| The Topeka branch of the Council Of
Mothers held meeting this week at
the home of the president. Mrs. Lee
Monroe. Mrs Monroe, who recently
visited the blind asylum in Kansas
City, Kansas, made a short address on
What the Associated Mothers May Dc
for the States Blind" In her address,
she gave to the women a message from
Mrs. John Rosenberg. the superin-
| tendent of the school for the blind, who
said she thought the first thing the
association should do would be to es
tablish a salesroom for the sale of the
handiwork OF the blind.
| The council decided to establish
what is known as a blind shop" and
model it after such a shop which is
conducted in Delaware under the d.
rection of the Delaware Commission
for the Blind. There the products OF
the blind workers can be handled al
small expense. and the women hope
ultimately to enlarge the shop SO that
the work produced in other institu-
tions besides those for the blind, may
be handled.
The commission in charge of the ar
engagements is composed of the follow
ing women: Mrs. p. D. DeArmond
Mrs. G. L. Williams, and Mrs. r. H
Leland.
In places where the shop has been
tried, it has paid expenses. besides the
amount paid for the work. It proves
the most tangible method of helping
and encouraging the children in the
institutions. by giving them q ready
market for their handiwork and sup
plying a fund with which they car
buy material to work with after they
leave school
n The Schna1 h.
sas City are books in the raised letters
that are available for use by blind peo.
pie all over the state. There is an ar
rangement with the postal authorize.
