John Dagan Got Too Much ''Bolshe-
WIKI Whisky.

AS a stimulator of the Imagination,
there is nothing to equal some of the
"Bolshevik" whisky which is now
sometimes subbing for a real drink.
John Dagan got too much of the
whisky Thursday night, and his imag-
ination began to work overtime.
John went home to 825 North Madi-
son street, where his friends tried to
put him to bed, 1t is said. He objected,
and started flourishing a revolver. He
was disarmed and thrust into the outer
darkness of the front yard. Where

The overwhelming defeat Of the
Democrat party can be justly laid
at the door OF President Wilson. He
challenged the country to a vote on
the League of Nations because victory
on that issue would mean endorse
ment of his policies and administra-
ton. The country has been dissatis-
fled with the conduct Of affairs at
Washington for some time. and in the
absence of any issue would have voted
as it did. The league merely was a
peg on which to hang its opposition
and the president placed it where the
voters could find it.

 Just here I feel that our compu,sion attendance law should apply to blind children, but unfortunately it does not," said Professor Clancy.
 of course, we have many patrons who are thoroughly cooperative and who bring their children to school as Isoon as they are seven years old. But there are still good many parents of blind children who will not let their children go away from home and others who come for their children after shey have been away from home a little while"
 Visitors are welcome to the school" Professor Clancy said cordially "A number of our older pupils can sing and play well, so we frequently enter tain our visitors with music Then %. visitors like to see blind boys making a broom or tuning a piano or the girls weaving a rug on the loom, or making a garment on the machine

After talking with Prof. J. s. Clancy, superintendent of the Alabama School for the Blind at Talladega, you feel as if you had made a personally con- ducted' tour over this wonderful insti- tuition, which is a pride to the state of Alabama and one of the most beautiful missions ever known to mankind
 You feel as if you had boarded train and made the trip over to ,Talladega where the school is situated-this love ly little Alabama town, which is noted for it's health, it's wealth, and its hos pitality.
 bit Of history regarding the Alabama for the benefit of those who do not know of it's splendid record and indeed for those who have known and per haps forgotten this institution was founded in 1sG7-so that it has number of years to it's credit of splendid en- deavor and accomplishment.
 It may not be geEeraly known, but the course of study in the Alabama school for the Blind is practically the same as in the public schools of the state; a large part of the work of the classes is done by using text in ink print-the same as in the public schools, while texts and books also are used in embossed print, including Line Braille and New York Point.
 In addition to the literary and indus- trial training, the School for the Blind has thoroughly equippe7 musical de- pertinent, in which instrus.to is given to those who take it to advantage, in the science and art of music, the pur pose of this department being to turn out those competent to teach music as well as those who can earn money as performers.
 Besides, there is modern and up-to- date industrial system of training, so that every pupil may receive some sort of manual instruction, manual dexterity and the work habit being chiefly aim ei at by the school so that a definite and pleasant vocation may be attained

 In other words, the Alabama School 1 for the Blind is an institution providing ] the solid, substantial things Of life fol the blind-not only entertaining and dec 1 orative accomplishments, but practical usable education in the days to come Professor Clancy, whose heart and mind shine out in the great work that he has accomplished for the blind children ot Alabama, and which he is still accom- plishing with master hand. is just the sort of man to make such an institu- tion ideal. His fine character, his broad education,
 and his devotion to his work, surround
 his life with beautiful atmosphere, and | it is a really wonderful incident in one s life to talk with Professor Clancy and hear something of him and his work. A native Alabamian born in Covington county, and spending most of his time in
 Andalusia, Professor Clancy, after grad fuating from the public schools of Ala bama and training in the State Normal School at Troy, and later completing his education at the University of Vir- ginia, at once followed teaching as a vocation.
 For number of years Professor Clancy
 taught in the public schools of Talla-
 dega, occupying the position of principle of the Talladega schools and iarer he
 was honored with the presidency of the Agricultural School of Sylacauga, where
 he lived for two years.
 Just at this time vacancy occurred in the Alabama School for the Blind, and Professor Clancy was invited to ac- cept the superintendency, which. he did, and for seven years his valiant, loyal,
 splendid work has been an honor and a credit to himself. the institution and the state of Alabama.
 Please let me say at the beginning,
 Professor Clancy suggested, as I asked
 him to tell me something of the school, ithat the Alabama School for the Blind is not an asylum. as it is not infre- Quently spoken of, and it is not home, another misnomer often applied to the institution; it is a school, a school in every seI1se of the word-a part of the public school system of Alabama
 "The Alabama School for the Blind" Professor Clancy continued, "derives it's maintenance entirely from state appro- priations and all children in Alabama be- tween the ages of and 21 years, who are totally blind, or so nearly blind that they cannot attend school for seeing children with profit, if otherwise eligible, may attend school there for nine months in the year<at ffo expense to the paresii except for clothing and railroad fare. All of the children go home to spend the summer vacation.
 Visitors often come to the school ov-. pecting to find gloomy, dspirited student body" said Professor Clancy, ''but nothing could be further from the truth. I confidently believe that we have the happiest lot of pupils who board away from home in Alabama. rnere are many reasons why this SO The

life. The memory of blind child, as said before, is phenomenal, and I have often been asked why so many of them are musical; they are not naturally more musical than other children, but they remember so much better; that Is why music appeals to them so much, and we so frequently see musical genu- national celebrity and Perry. the blind pianist was another, while many more might be enumerated.
 q am myself a musician" said Pro- lessor Clancy, "and I have often played on my violin lengthy concertos with the blind music teachers at the school, who, to my amazement. memorized pages and pages of the most difficult Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Chopin and all the standard composers."
 Are all our teachers blind?' Pro- lessor Clancy repeated the question had asked him. "Oh, no; some of them are, but many are not; and they are all wonderful. I have, never seen such pdlleHtt anu SWeelu6SSI ana kIHdUGSS, and the love between teachers and pu- pills is little short of beautiful. wish it was so that everybody in Alabama could visit the Alabama School for the Blind, and see the environment which has been created for those from whom the beautiful light of day has been shut out"
 For those who are interested in the terms of admission" to the Alabama School for the Blind, Professor Clancy announced the following:
 "The benefit of the Alabama School for the Blind is open to all the blind children of Alabama between the ages of seven and twenty one, whose sight is so impaired as to prevent their be-, ing taught in the ordinary public

 q should particularly emphasEe
 some of the aims and plans of the school" said Professor Clancy, "the first of which is the definite purpose of the institution to turn prospective besgars into producers; scondlys to broaden and sweeten the life of a blind child so ful asset instead of a loathsome lia- bility to the community, and thirdly to train blind people how to become self supporting by using their faculties, to make dress, a rug, broom, bottom a chair, tune piano, etc. Of course, if a pupil is musical he has the op-
 portunity of learning to sing, or play. the piano and pipe organ"
 Not only are our pupils happy, but lit is pleasure to coach blind pupils.
 They -~rnoSe- attentive than seeing pupils because there are not so many
 things in view to distract their atten-
 ton. Their memories are developed early from necessity and they seldom
 forget where the lesson was,"
 But one of the things that makes my heart ache" he continued, lis the apathy or sentimentality of many tar-
 ents. There are many blind children lin Alabama, some in Birmingham. who ought to be with us, but are kept at

 "At school this is all reversed; proper games are taught said Professor Clancy, physical exercises are given, companions and chums are made and plenty of outdoor play is had to keep the child much in the open. The open ing day of school is one of the happiest for former pupils and new pupils do not cry long after mamma and papa"
