BRITAIN IMPROVING
| LOT OF THE BLIND
Many Reforms Under Way
! Through Creation Of Special
Commission.

London.-A great Improvement Is
being made by Great Britain in her
methods Of caring for the blind. This
not only applies to the care Of blinded
soldiers but to all classes of sightless
persons throughout England and
Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
More than three years ago COM
mittee was appointed by Herbert Sam
uel, then president Of the local gov
eminent board, to study the situation
of the blind and recommend methods
for Improving their training and en-
fployment.
In the first place 1t was found that
the government should establish GEN.
trail control organization for all exist
ing agencies Of voluntary help, which
could be far better utilized II centrally
controlled. It is proposed to set up
q separate department in the ministry
of health which will be devoted ex-
cluslvely to the general care and super
vision of the blind.
The cruz Of Britain's problem Is the
iinadequacy Of workshops, which the
committee recommends should be
doubled, FIRST by extension Of the pres
ent shops and second by the construc-
ition Of new and modern establish
lments. Even the sale Of the handi-
work Of blind persons has been neg
lected, and a plan Of cooperative sell
ling Is to be formed, augmented by a
co-operative plan Of buying and dis
Itributing raw material,
At present there are not sufficient
funds available, and In due time fur
ther grants from the government are
to be placed at the disposal Of the cen.
trail authority.
The employment Of blind teachers In
the elementary schools Is to be eff
fected whenever possible on account OF
their adaptability to such an occupa'
tion and also because 1t Is necessary
TO give preference to blinded teachers
over those with sight or partial sight

mated for second place until more
than half Of the districts had report

piled up safe majority over New
man. Neslen's majority also grew
steadily throughout.
