NetO Spirit Reflected In Schools For The Blind;
Many Being Trained So They Can Earn LiOing

AcharCe the state university New
Mexico is making rapid strides along
most educational lines We believe
It viii not be long before progress
sive New Mexico viii follow the ex-
ample Of some OF her sister states
and place her school for blind as wen
as the other educational Institutions,
including the state university. the
normal schools and the school for
deaf, under one single, nonpartlsan
state educational board, composed Of
high minded university trained men
who viii devote all their time TO the
educational institutions in their
charge
BIZ Meets Deserved Defeat
The bill voted upon by the people
Of New Mexico last fan which would
have placed toe schools for blind and
deaf under a board having in charge
the penitentiary and other penal ana
correctional institutions, deserved
the overwhelming defeat Il met at
the voters hands. A school for blind
is neither a penal nor a correctional
institutions &c Is not an asylum a
home or a hospital but purely an
educational Institution and as such
should be placed in its proper cate
CORY with the other educational in
situations
Another objectionable feature Of
the defeated bill was the short ten
ure OF office-tWo years-which
would have been held by the mem
bers Of the board. -Four years IS a
short enough time in which 20 be-
come acquainted with such an i'm
portanr and highly specialized work.
nor should there be a change OF more
than one member out OF a possible
four in any given year
We believe also that all the vest
ern states viii emulate the exam
PIE Of the older commonwealth OF
the east in the formation OF state
associations for the promotion OF the
interests OF the blind. Such societies
have for their aims prevention Of
blindness, the raising OF education
al standards IN schools for blind and
the placing OF trained blind work
ers in positions where they can earn
a living
In the meantime. II there IS an
educated blind person in your COM
munity who claims that he can do
a certain thing well, give him a
chance to show what he can do; II,
upon trial he proves competent, ask
our friends to employ him; IL his
work IS below standard. the blame
and responsibility should be placed
where they belong-on the institu-
ton from which he has received his
certificate OF proficiency. But en-
courage him, help him push him
aloug-he needs it The economic
success OF one blind man or woman
is a stimulus-only the educators OF
the blind know how great-to every
other sightless one who is cropping
his way TO financial Independence.

that the advantage Of that system
was that Il the record didn't 60 very
good why the guy could put on new
needle and it would probably work.
whereas If Connie Mack put in a new

So I said to Tiny:
Il think this guy has got a good
idea. namely that when he goes 70
a place that he has got to pay to get
in but ne don't think he IS going to
get 8 whole lot Of entertainment out
Of Il, why he brings along his own
entertainment in case the entertain
ment he paid for don't live up the
expectations"
So I and Tiny agreed to recon-
mend this system to different people
that goes out trying TO enjoy them
self and some times they come home
saying that they had a rotten time.
but II they use this system why they
can't have a rotten time, as follows

along a ouiia board and try and
make il find out who is running with

may be-
.. Vel, suppose you was going TO
a vaudeville show. Well, thev's' an
old book called wit and humor Of

out there you can read that, and
they's also an old music book called

pretty good as reading matter when
you don't like the music acts.

g Well suppose you was going
to a dance and you finely got one
with a lady that you didn't know
very vel or else you had knew her
so long that you had talked each 9TH
