Blindness No Bar to MARRIAGE.

The statistics as to age at which
sight is lost bring out some interest
ing facts concerning the extent to
which marriage takes place among the
blind. The majority of those who have
not married before they lost their sight
continue single for the remainder of
their lives. But the fact that the per
centage single Is higher among the
females who lost their sight before the
age of twenty than it is among the
males indicates that blindness is less
of a bar to marriage in the case of
males than of females, since, all other
things being equal, the percentage
should have been somewhat lower for
females by reason of the fact that
women ordinarily marry earlier than
men. The figures show, however, that
while marriage is much less frequent
among the blind than among those who
can see, it is by no means rare; of the
males who had lost their sight between
the ages of fifteen and nineteen, for ex-
ample, about one-third, and of the fe-
males, about one-fifth, had married
since they became blind.
