A Blind Stenographer

When blind stenographer 10 so eff
cient that his employer would no,
change him for sighted stenographer,
that fact speaks very emphstically fol-
his ability. And such statement may
be made 10 che case OF William Lynch,
stenographer to Willard w. Baldwin,
superintendent OF the Maine Institute
for the blind. Mr.. Lynch 10 more than
a mere stenograpber. He 10 . private
secretary and general factotum. he
takes Mr.. Baldwin's dictation, type.
writes bis Letters, makes out bills,
vouchers, and other documents for him,
keeps track OF his accounts, answers the
telephone, attends to the bulk of the or.
dering and in Mr.. Bsldwin's absence prac.
tically runs tho Office.
Mr.. Lynch provides . wonderful ex.
ample of how the hands may be made to
serve In the place of eyes. His hands
are educated to Q remarkable degree of
cunning, and the tips of bis fingers are
so sensitive that they do great many of
the duties which an average persons
eyes are called upon TO perform. he Is
. wizard for quickness. His rate Of
epocu ID JUDI 90 Bs0at % tuub VI tu0 SVot'
sge sighted stenOgrapher, and he can
run practically any make Ut typewriter
with consummate ease.
Mr.. Lynch can take In braille 10
words or moro minute, 40 many as the
accomplished stenographer who has full
possession Of bis faculties can take In
shorthand. He manipulatas the little
machine which 10 manufactured for this
purpose with amazing rapidity, and DO
maintains speed equivalent to that Of
q sighted stenographer on the typewrit.
er-tbat 10 between 90 and 10 wordb
minute.
Mr.. Lynch has attained bis proficiency
at stenography witbip the last Eve years.
He WAS able to run tho typewriter be.
fore that time, buthe had practically NO
kno Wedge of stenography.

Cattle here have no more care than the
deer that inhabit the woods OF Maine,
but they don't get wild. Hogs with q
litter Of pigs walking the streets are an
