Dancing is a big part Of entertain
ing the men. Dancing teaches the
men agility of movement and sure
ness of motion that helps them with
walking. And dancing with girls
gives the confidence that comes from
doing a normal, pleasant thing in a
normal way.
It gets the man ready to go on with
training that will enable him to COM
rest of his life, and beat them at their
own game of making a living.
Restoring Lost 80 Per Cent
That is the whole spirit at Ever
green. 1t is figured that a blind man
has lost 80 per, cent of his eff
cheney. The work here is to restore
that 80 per cent by training and
extra efficiency of body and mind.

to learn about it-more in some cases
than sighted men working on the
outside. A bookbinder who learns
his trade here is as good a book
binder as there is in the United
States.
In the fourth period the specializa-
ton is carried further, and the mans
mother, wife, sister or sweetheart is
brought to Evergreen to be taught
how to cooperate with the blind man,
now to be helpful and sympathetic
without spelling his self-confldence.

taken place at Evergreen. Some of
