support all come from the school fund.
Despite the fact that the average ply
sical condition Of blind persons is not
that Of otherwise normal persons
there has been no serious illness at
the school since it was started
One Of the features of the school
is the library and while 1t is yet small
1t Is being added to each year. There
are now $50 large volumes Of raised
point books. so small ones with the
same type and $50 with ink print. The

so that the blind may read them by
the sense of touch. BY an act Of con-
gress free postage IS furnished when
It is desired to send any of the books
from the school to a blind person and
also for the return of same.
Farming operations are carried on
on a rather large scale for the age Of
the pupils and during the 1913 season
which is the last one covered by the
report there were 800 bushels Of pota-
toes and IL tons of hay raised on the
institutional grounds, besides a great
quantity Of garden truck that Is used
for the needs Of the school. Each
one of the institutions reporting to the

to give q sample Of the menu served
and the following detail of the meals
served on Feb. 16. 1914: Breakfast,

Visiting hours at the school for the

inspection of the public from $3.50 in
the morning, until $3.50 in the after

Blind PUPILS ARE MADE SELF
SUPPORTING BY STATE INSTITUTE
Such Showing is Set Forth in Annual Report of Super
tendent-Conditions at Bathgate Institution
Regarded as Satisfactory

Bismarck, n. d., Dec. 23.-Of the
many institutions under the direct
management of the board of control
one Of the most interesting reports
comes from the school for the blind
located at Bathgate. This school was
established by an act of the legisla-
ception of students Feb. is, 1908.
The report shows that there were
81 pupils enrolled for the 1924
year and that since the school has
opened there have been SO students
enrolled, a good many Of them hav-
ing graduated and after leaving the
school becoming self supporting. and
all of them in every way superior to
their condition when they entered.
the prospective student must be be-
tween the ages Of and 81. 1t has
been found in every state where it has
been tried that it is not possible to
successfully operate school and a
home for the aged blind or a hospital
for the invalid blind under the same
management. The instruction given
is along literary, industrial and musi-
cal lines. all of which the blind seem
to have a peculiar adaptability for.
One graduate of the school. now has q
position in a school for the blind in
neighboring state where he Is in
structor in industrial work and an
other graduate is making q big sue
cess in the business Of piano tuning
When it Is considered that 1t has been
estimated that it costs the state $1O,-
900 to care for one non-supporting
blind person 1t will be seen that, fig-
ured from the financial side alone. 1t
Is q great saving to operate the school.
Under the present management the
average cost per capita for the stu
oth aGnss ~ sas per year hs is an
and that Is that since the opening Of
the school up to the present time all
running expenses, repairs and some
Improvements and some money for

$1,000 MORE IN
GAME LICENSES
Heavy Increase Shown by
McCutcheon's Report Cow
ering the Operations.

E. B. McCutcheon. chief game war;
den for the north half of the state,
has Just completed his report for tho
year 1914. and also the report cover
ing the biennial period.
BY strict enforcement of the law i'm
this district, the sale of hunting IL
censes was increased nearly $1,000
over the preceding two-year period.
This is certainly making money for
the state and affords means for an
increased protection of the game The
increase in sale Of licenses in 1913
was $500 over the year 1912, while
the year 1914 showed further in
crease OF over 2.100 over 1913, which
in itself proves that the game warden
was on the job all the time.
The arrests for the year 1914, in
convictions and fines paid, 10 cases
were lost. dismissed, and are still
pending. For 1913 the arrests were "A,
With 20 convictions. making a total
number of arrests for the period 173,
with 1853 convictions, which is a very
high percentage. The preceding bien-
nial period Of 1911 and 1912 shows
only 20 convictions.
The greatest increase in the sale of
".
the total number. issued being 1852
as against 1867 in 1913 and 1,1OO in
1912. For the first time in the his
tory of Ward county, nonresident
licenses were sold, SO that the rev.
enue from. Ward county this year Will
se double what it was in 1912. This
increase is doubtless very largely due
to the energetic enforcement Of the
law.
The increasing number of wild birds
was noticeable this fall. and IL the
Same enforcement of the game laws is
kept up for period of years, North
Dakota will doubtless be as good a
hunting state as it ever was. The
past season. weather conditions were
more favorable to the birds than to
the hunters. and more birds have gone
over than in any previous season, 50
the outlook for next years sport is
exceedingly bright.
