LOT OF THE
BLIND MADE
MUCH BETTER
Many Reforms Under Way
in England Thru Work
Of Special Body.

London, Sept. 20.--A greafimprove-
ment 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 a COM
,mittee was appointed by Herbert
Samuel, then president of the local
government board, to study the stu
alton of the blind and recommend
methods for improving their training
and employment.
In the first place it was found that
the government should establish a
central control. organization for all ex-
listing agencies of voluntary help,
which could be far better utilized If
centrally controlled. 7 t is proposed to
set UP q separate department in the
ministry Of health which will be de-
voted exclusively to he general care
and supervision of the blind.
The crux of Britain's problem is the
~inadequacy of workshops, which the
committee recommends should be
doubled, first by extension of the
present shops and second by the con-
struction OF new and modern estab-
lishments. Even the sale Of the
handiwork of blind persons has been
neglected, and a plan Of cooperative
selling is to be formed, augmented by
Ia cooperative plan OF buying and
distributing raw material
At present there are not sufficient
funds available, and in due time

Formed to Demonstrate
Patriotism.

A number Of prominent, and patri-
otto citizens OF this city r consider
ing plans for d. big loyalty and patri-
otto demonstration to be held to slim
ulate enlistments from this section Of
the state and to clearly define the
patriotic and loyal stand Of the city
of East Grand Forks as q whole. En-
listments in military service through
out Northern Minnesota are far be-
Mind proportional enlistments from
other sections of this and other states.
East Grand Forks is loyal and East
Grand Forks is patriotic but has not
as yet held a demonstration meeting
to show her stand and many patriotic
citizens feel that something should be
loyal position Of this city and COM
munity. The citizens are loyal and
patriotic but the city as q whole has
not placed itself on the map by a
unanimous demonstration OF its loyal
stand with the government.
Definite plans will probably be an
nounced within a few days for a big
meeting and campaign which will
make obvious the stand of this com
munity. 1t has been suggested that q
citizens loyalty league be organized. to
arrange meetings in this city and sur
rounding towns, and to furnish auto
mobiles and speakers and enliven the
entire vicinity.
J Lieutenant John w. signer of the
Minnesota National Guard is in the
city inspecting the local recruiting
station and declared that enlistments
from this vicinity were far below par.
He suggested that patriotic citizens
OF the city get busy and do their part.
