ing: This shop is run by "a blind SOL
der from ST. Dunstan's.' They won't
lack work. one man found thirty
seven pairs Of boots waiting for him
to 90 to work upon when he first
entered the shop which had been pro-
vided for him.
THE accuracy of these blind work.
ers is not less than wonderful. even
to me, who have had to train myself
to many new e~ndeavors. Cobbling and
mat making go well together. and the
cobblers will make mats when cobbling
work is scare.
"Carpentering Is another trade
! hich we teach to the blind soldiers
at st. D%unstan's. I do not mean that
we make skilled carpenters out OF
blind men. ready for n edge TOOL
task which may come along. but we
make of them good rough carpenters
who swift and wei! c:.n make certain
! articles of patterns which can be re-
peated.
Another occupation at which our
men are becoming proficient Is poul-
try raising. Chicken farming IL an
excellent occupation for the blind.
Before we teach the men who choose
il the details Of this particular work
We teach them rough carpentering. so
that they can at least make their
own chicken coops and hen houses.
"A sergeant left here the other day
TO engage in chicken farming who had
made all his coops and foster mothers
before ne left. He can run an incu-
bator perfectly. lie has learned TO
distinguish different breeds of chick
ems by their feel and Judges weight
with an uncanny accuracy.
at Is surprising but a fact that
chickens are much less likely to be
afraid Of n blind man than one who
IL not blind. Perhaps II may he be-
cause blind men never move quickly,
nervously. 1t is not safe for them
to do so.
"rhis man can mix food perfectly,
selecting It from mixed bags by the
feeling. and Furthermore he car truss
and dress fowls quite well enough
to make them as attractive as any IN
the Bond street markets. which are
the best in London. And also he al
ready is. and others presently will be,
quite competent to engage in simpic
market gardening.
Another occupation of which ~
have many hopes is tina; Of telephone

we have two blind men here
