VOU can't keep a vital question down

you to travel back a few years. Maud.
Because whenever | can hear this sub

of freshmen girls who all came to
college on the same day. They were
all strangers from far away and glori-

BLIND SHCP SHOWS
QUARTERLY Deficit.
Friends of Inst tuition Hope
Next Appropriation

WORK HANDICAPPED
BY FLU EPIDEMIC

The publiRtion Of the quarterly re-
port OF the operations OF the Blind
shop ending September 30 has been de-
Iayed on account OF the epidemic, which
was very severe upon the operations OF
the Blind shop All the blind men,
residents at the shop, were down with
influenza except one. and work was
Practically suspended for a period OF
five weeks. This experience was very
severe and resulted in the death Of our
valued house mother. Mrs. Dougherty.
For two weeks, only two OF the women
workers and one blind man were able
g. attend 90 a house full OF patients
confined to their beds, All OF the blind
men workers recovered and arc back
at work.
Tho baLarsse sheet for the quarter
shows a deficit in each OF the depart
menfs over the cost OF material and
blind labor used in production. Besides
this the overhead expenses have largely
increased. and unless a material relief
Is found in the near future this good
work will be severely crippled The to-

able. aod inventory the net deficit for
the quarter Is s2,404.73. IL Is certain
that this work for the blind cannot be
operated under the present conditions
for less than 5000 a year, against
which the State appropriation is now
but $1,000 and the city appropriation,
which was doubled last July Is but
$1,000, so THAI The support OF the pub
lio is now less than one-half the cost
of operation. II therefore becomes a
serious question whether the i6 TO 20
blind men and women who are depend
ont upon the institution for their earn
ings, shall be abandoned or whether
the public support Of this work shall
be largely increased. The commission
hopes that every friend Of the blind
may take this mather up with his rep

port this work for the welfare Of his
less fortunate fellow citizens.
During the past quarter one OF the
pupils Of the Oyerbrook School for tho
Blind, and a ward OF this State has
graduated and become an expert dlcta-
phone operator and typist. A position
has been procured for him in one OF
the industrial s,ablishments, where he
has been employed for the past three
months with his more fortunate sight
ed operators and has made good. Very
favorable reports have been made, and
he is taking dlctation OF three officers
OF the company, and seems fully es-
tabllshed-in a competent livelihood
The blind and the workers for the
blind deeply regret the loss Of a most
efficient and inspiring example OF one
who Overcame his handicap, I'm the
death Of William q Leach, late Of this
city Mr.. Leach was a splendid example
Of what a blind man may do with en-
ergy and industry when the opportunity
is offered.
The looms made four large rugs, 800
small rugs, SO yards Of carpet and en-
ployed two men. The cane shop re-
seated 800 chairs and employed six men
regularly. The basket shop repaired
