EDUCATE THE BLIND

/ State Superintendent s.. w. Sher-
|rill has sent out a letter to county
superintendent in which he says
There are many unfortunate blind
1children in. the state Of Tennessee
and those of defective vision who are
not receiving the benefits OF an educa-
tion. This is deplorable but not un-
avoidable. The state has made pro
vision for these children and Is main
tanning at public expense splendid
school at Nashville for such child
ren. The school admits those from
six to twenty-one years OF age and
furnishes board and tuition free.
Besides the instruction given in
the eight elementary grades and the
four year high school grades, splen-
did advantages are offered in vocal
and instrumental music, and through
/ the industrial department Of the
school, children are enabled to At
themselves for specific occupations,
The boys are taught to cane chairs.
to make mattresses, mops and
brooIis, and receive special instruc-
ltion in tuning and repairing Courses
are also offered in agriculture, poul-
try raising, etc. Girls receive in
Istruction in bead work, rafia, weav-
ing, sewing, cooking and other house.
work. Typewriting is taught to both
sexes.
Among the totally blind graduates
of the school are. those who have sue
ceeded as teachers, broom makers,
tuners, statesmen, homemakers. etc.
The purpose of the school is not on
ly to impart information and aid In
mental growth through the usual
cultural subjects, but 1t aims above
all else 10 train each individual for
some definite life work In which the
pupil can be happy, useful and inde-
pendent. No work is SO hard as Idle
ness.
The education of the blind is no
longer an experiment. Through the
point system of print they can al
vance almost as rapidly Is the ser
ing. Though handicapped, when once
shown the way, they become ambi-
tious and eager to prepare them
selves for useful occupations. IN the
school at Nashville great care ana
attention is given to, the health of
the children. They Are under medi-
cal experts and receive daily study
and attention. Many have had their
vision preserved and restored.
Is it not the duty Of all of us to so
to it that no child in the staxe Of
Tennessee who is debarred from the

is deprived OF the advantages of this
special school because 0f ignorance

British Labor Unions
Urge Peace Parleys

DERBY, England, Sept. ID. H.
Thomas, Labor member of Parliament
for Derby, precipitated lengthy and
heated debate at the Trades Union Con-
grcss to-day by introducing a resolu-
ton calling for the war aims of the La
Dor and Socialist parties of the Central
Powers, in answer to the war aims Of
the inter Allied conference held in
London. The resolution passed on a
show of hands by large majority.
The resolution urges the government
to establish peace negotiations as soon
as the enemy, either voluntarily or by
compulsion, evacuates France and Bel
GUM and reafirms his belief in the
principles of the nternationale as the
safest guarantee for world peace. The
resolution also demands labor repre-
sentation at the peace congress.

Senate Plans
Big Change in
War Tax Bill
Radical Alterations From
Houses Plan Explained
by Smoot
By Theodore M. Knappen

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Predicting
that the war revenue bill will be radi-
cally altered before it gets through the
Senate, Senator Reed Smoot, member
of the Senate Finance Committee, to-
day indicated some of the points of at
tack upon it. These are:
First-That the bill is unscientifi-
cally framed, places the burdens in
equitably and will tend to restrict pro-
duction.
Second-That it provides for $2,000,-
100000 more than is necessary.
Third-That the excess profits pro-
vision is without justification.
Fourth-That at least billion of
the required amount should be raised
by general consumption tax of per
cent of all sales.
Fifth-That it is political bill, de-
signed to get the money from the
smallest possible number of voters.
"The revenue bill reported by the
Ways and Means Committee" said Sen
ator Smoot, will have a tendency to
discourage production instead of facili-
tatng it. In war times the problem is
rot so much to raise money as to OBJ
tain production. Guns and soldiers do
not act by consuming money. They
must have materials. What folly is it,
then, to raise money in manner cal
culated to keep us from getting what
we want the money for
: 81 am not opposed to the principle
of the war profits tax. I favor it, be-
cause those who arc making more
money by reason of the war should be
heavily taxed, but the excess profits
plan takes money simply because it is
there on just as sweeping scale as
the war profits tax. 1t is a good way
to raise large revenues from a COM
raratively few voters
"The rates of taxation are made so
high that they are very discouraging
to persons who have their capital in
vested in corporations. BY the time
the corporations have paid their in
come and war or excess profits taxes
and tho stockholders have paid their
normal an surtax rates out of what
is left for them, they will have very
little to show for their investments.
The reduction of profits to the vanish
ing point is not conducive to zeal for
further business activlty-tnat is. to
production.
"Concedng that It is necessary 70
raise 100000. at least one bill
ion Of it should be raised by con-
sumption tax of | per cent on every
sale of merchandise of Il dollar or
more. This tax would have been
scarcely felt and would not have i'm
peded production.
Eight billions is too much. 1t is
figured as third Of our annual war
expenditures, but s6,0o0,000,000 of the
1924, ,0OO, 100000 are loans to the Allies;
so, on the one-third basis $6,000,0 100000
would have been enough. Even at that
we are appropriating more money than
we can spend. Last year we appropri-
ated 10000 100000 and we spent only
81 $50 100000. We can't spend $1s,C00,-
900, 900, because we can't produce or
get that much worth of war materials
and services in year. Thus, we are
curbing industry by taxation, the pro-
ceeds Of which we can't put back into
production. :.
"The bill will be reported to the Sen
ate early in October. l doubt if it will
be a law until after election"

! WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
J Sept. 4.-That proud Prussian Guard

submitted to the humiliation of q re.
duction to foot soldiery on account OF
the dearth Of horses in the German
army, has suffered terrible losses in

Gated to-day.
lhls division was one of the best
known before the war for its spec
tacular uniforms and much photo
graphed participation in German mill
tary maneuvrcs. The photographs Of
these horsemen have been printed in
almost every American newspaper
sometime in the last ten years.
This divisions latest part in the
war is in the big battle that is now
continuing between the Aisne and the
Ailette.
The following order signed by its
commander has just been captured:
"The general commanding this army
group has expressed special satisfac-
tion with the tenacity with which the
division has maintained the positions
confded to it. join with all my heart
in these fluctuations, and ask the Off
GERS and men that in the combats to
come they make the same sacrifice to
! conserve at any price the pillar of the
German Western front contided to
their guard"
Another captured document empha-
sizes the German armies growing diff :
culties on account of the lack of
animals which are now forbidden in

3Sd Division complains bitterly that
the wounded must be abandoned when
the Allies are advancing because of

RUSSIAN RESILIENCY.

The Russian come back at Odessa is a
cloud no larger than a mans hand, but
there are chances that it will develop
into serious state of affairs for the
Germans on the eastern front If once
the Russians get the idea into their
heads that they can defeat the Teuton
forces now sent against them the idea
may terminate into great purpose to
extend the movement and sweep back
the invader from Russian soil 1t makes
little difference for the timebeing what
faction of Russians accomplish that pur
pose. The main need is to get the Ger
mans into a retrograde movement in the
east. Later on the Russians could settle
their internal differences in manner to
suit themselves without interference on
the part of outside nations, particularly
Germany. The reeapture of Odessa, pro.
yiding that is fact, goes far toward
laying the foundation for a great repub.
lie of Russia.
