"Making Darkness Light and
Crooked Things Straight"
Mrs. Gertrude Rider Directs
Nationwide Effort to Bring
Practical Life Work Into
Reach of the Blind.

AND I Mill bring the blind by d
may they know not; WiH lead
them in paths they have not known;
/ mill make darkness light before
them, and crooked things straight"
These pords of the prophet
Isaiah are being literally fulfilled
today in the nationwide efforts fo'
the education of the blind, and the
center of that education is in q
little room in the great Library OF
Congress in Washington.
"Our only duty to the blind is to
give them work. Idleness is the
bane and menace of their lives"
is the slogan, adapted from Helen
Keller, under which this great work
is being carried on.
The Reading Room for the Blind
in the Congressional Library is
much more than that, and its vide
actipities, its stimulating efforts fo'
education of the blind toward q
practical life work, are related BY
Mrs. Gertrude T. Rider, librarian in
charge of the room.
By J. R. HILDEBRAND.
Not long ago a blind man was
sent up for life to the State pris-
on ct South Dakota
He had killed a man in literal
blind fury" Otherwise he had been
n good citizen But he had become
morcse when efforts to restore his
sight failed.
. Outside he had had folk to read
to him and many who would chat
with him. Shat UP in prison, the
combined disasters of blindness. OF
a life term. and that course Of idle
ness most dreaded OF all by the
blind, threatened to upset his rca-
son.
The chaplain of the prison wrote
to Mrs. Gertrude T. Rider, librarian
in charge of the reading room for
the blind at the Library of Congress.
She sent him instructions for lear
ing to read the raised letters, and
later sent him books.

the work, and many of the pleasures
OF persons with sight are within the
attainment of the blind.
Someone has called touch. the
closer sight and in that phrase
lies the keynote of what We can do
for them. Most persons would be
surprised to know that blindness
is preferred TO deafness to nine out
of ten persons afflicted with either
or both.
The sense Of touch is conrpensa-
tior for sight there Is no compensa-
tion for the things one can not
hear. Another explanation Jf this
preference may lie in the fact that
hearing is what someone mas called
the spiritual sense Through the
and those sensations which appeal
most directly to the soul.
Ask Only Right To Work.
Perhaps that, too. is why deaf
person is apt to grow morose and
gloomy. while the blind are almost
uniformly happy if they can be
kept busy. All the blind ask is the
right to work, and the opportunity
for play
Mrs. Rider again quoted Helen Kel-
Ter, and the oft-quoted passage sums
up the modern viewpoint of those
who are helping the blind. Said
Miss Keller:
There is no law on the statute
books compelling people 10 move up
closer on the bench of life To make
room for 4 blind brother: bur there
is divine law written on the hearts
of men constraining them to make
a place for him: not only because
he is unfortunate. but also because

IeSe OF man to go forth INTO

THE USEFUL POTATO.

men the palate is weary Of turkey
And other gaStrOnOmy frills,
And even the s~ucchlent oyster
No longer the vacancy fills,
Then we turn to the humble potato.
Deliciously mealy and white,
Bursting out Of It's hOmely brown JACKIE
The pepper and salt to invite.
Oh. what is SO tempting for breakfast
As a plate of potatoes we'll fried,
Or hot baked potatoes for supper.
When a norther is bowling outside
And muShed to q creamy consisfence
With plenty Of gravy and hot,
They're nt for an -epicures table,
And ALWAYS go right to the spot.
A stew with the favor Of onions
Is a diet delightful to MUNICH.
And a salad Of cold boiled potato
Is a tasty addition to lunch.
Though the prices Of terrapin, salmon
And similar dainties are steep.
Who cares while the lowly potato,
The wholesome potato. Is cheap!
