Schools For the Blind.

The first American School for the Blind was incorporated in Boston 90 years ago tomorrow, March 2, 1929. The worlds first public school for the blind was established by Valentine Hauy in Paris, 45 years before. The pioneer institution for the education of the sightless in England was founded at Liverpool in 1791. The following year a similar school was opened in Edinburgh, and in London in 1799. Hauy, the renchman, was the inventor of raised or embossed iettered printing for the use of the blind, and published the first book of it's kind in 17S6. In 184S the art had made such progress that the en- tire Bible was printed in raised char acters by a Glasgow concern. By the aid of such instruction many blind people have attained distinction, not ably Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, Helen Keller. the late Henry Faweett, British postmaster-g and Wis count Cranborne, historian.

NEW RULES FOR
 NARCOTIC DRUGS

Washington, March Physicians, dentists, druggists and manufacturers or dealers who sell or administer narcotic drugs are required under the new revenue bill to register and pay license tax to revenue collectors within thirty days.
 This amendment of the Harrison narcotic drug act also taxes opium, cocaine and derivatives or medicines containing these at the nominal rate of one cent an ounce and makes 1t illegal to sell drugs not bearing rev enue stamps.
 Unstamped packages of the drugs in stores or elsewhere are liable to seizure, but revenue bureau officials said today they would allow a reason able time for compliance with this requirement.
 Manufacturers, importers and wholesa1 1ers hereafter will be com pelIed to make monthly reports of their dealings in the drugs or in prep arations containing them. These new legal provisions are regarded as police measures by which revenue officers hope to make a much strong CT fight against narcotics.
 Physicians, dentists, vetinerary sur geons and other practitioners are taxed S3 a year for the drug privil- ege, but they will be credited with the S1 tax under the old law. Drug gists and other retail dealers are taxed s6 a year wholesalers SIP and manufacturers or importers s24.

COMMERCIALS
 GIVE PROGRAM Pleasing Entertainment Un- der Direction of the
 Teachers.

Members of the Commercial de- partment of the Bridgeport High school and of the Boys GIee club are to be congratulated for their splen- did entertainment offered in the High school auditorium last night under the leadership of Miss Ingenborg Svend- sen-Tune, Miss F'rantz and Miss Kim Der. An exceptionally well balanced program of music, dancing and recita- tions were rendered with perfection.
 The program opened with sex tette from the musical comedy of ''Tloradora" which was very well re- ceived. Charles Ferron, the youthful yiolinist, scored a success with his selection. He was accompanied by Miss Esther Jorgensen at the piano. "A Family Plate.' a humorous Irish monoloiue, was given by Miss Grace Weising with dramatic ability and she was enthusiastically applauded.
 Probably the most amusing num- Der on the program was the back
 ward ballad sung by Victor Rcssens- Weig, assisted by the Boys Glee club Very interesting also was the, Japan csc dances, "Moonbeams," by six misses dressed in Japanese costumes and the 'Nightowls Dance" by six boys also in Japanese garb- The last two dances were given by the Misses Henick, Lush, McPherson, Hirsch- berg, NicoIs, Bond, Lev and Fried; Lawrence Burns. Mir. Yeaton, Mir. Watt, MT. Willis, Kenneth Schowers, Merwin Berman, Johnson Abercrom- bic and Vaughn Abercrombie.
 A rather novel moving picture was staged under the direction of Miss Kimber of the English department in which Joseph Sullivan starred as the heroine Mary Jane; EdwaId Willis, the hero, Benjamin; Louis Yeaton, Lord Mortimer, and Raymond Watt as the angry father. Miss Emma Lu- cas- showed her ability in dramatic art when she recited from Mary Carey and was very well received.
 Miss Alma Rosen rendered a piano selection from Mcdowell and the High school orchestra under the direc- ton of Miss Svendsen-Tune entertain ed with a symphony selection in an excellent manner. The program clos- ed with Three Little Maids" from ''The Nikado," by Miss NJ. Levy, Miss M. Pious and Miss L. McPherson.
 Those who arranged the entertain ing program were Miss Mildred Bond, chairman, Miss Mollie Levy, Miss Sarah Fried Miss Louise McPherson, Edward Willis, Edward Larkin, Ray mOnd Wat and Miss Grace Wefsing
