BLIND BABY
Governor Miller Discusses
the Subject With Mrs. Alden

planned for Mrs Cynthia Westover
Alden, president general of the Inter
national Sunshine Society, during her
stay in Wilmington, was her recep-
tion by Governor Miller, at the Hotel

Mrs. Dorsey had planned the sur
prise and Mrs. Alden had about an
hours interview with the Governor,
who is greatly interested in Sun
shine.
Two blind babies in the city, one
white and one colored, had been
previously visited by Mrs Alden and
Mrs. Dorsey, and much of the inter
view was given up to talk about
the future welfare of these babies.
Governor Miller was earnest in his
assertion that prevention work with
the blind should begin in babyhood
In illustration, he said that he could
today visit different schools i'm the
city and take backward children who
are suffering from some slight de-
formity of sight or hearing, which, II
treated in childhood could have been
entirely eradicated. Governor Miller
was much interested in hearing Of
the blind babies in Wilmington, and
asked that Mrs Alden send him full
I information about them aud about
the Blind School at Summit. n. J.
in hopes that in some way he and the
citizens of the State could arrange &C.
