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
nittee 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-
ployment.-~
In the first place it was found that
the government should establish CEN
raj control organization for all exist
ng agencies of voluntary help, which
could be far better utilized II centrally
controlled. 1t is proposed to set up
a separate department in the ministry
Of health which will be devoted ex-
clusively to the general care and super
vision 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 pres
ent shops ma second by the construc-
ton of new and modern establish
ments. Even the sale of the handi-
work of blind persons has been neg
Iected, and plan of cooperative SELL
Ing is to be formed, augmented by a
cooperative plan of buying and dis
tributing 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-
ton and also because 1t is necessary
to give preference to blinded teachers
over those with sight or partial sight.
A detailed register Of blind children
Is to be started in order to establish a
careful system Of following up each
case through the medium of paid visit
ors. Wherever a blind person enters
upon a professional life the govern
ment intends to see that there is no
lack Of financial assistance at the
start.
