WORK OF THE BLIND
FOR THE PAST YEAR
Annual Report Shows All Engaged
in Useful and Profitable
Occupations.

The Delaware Commissioners for the
Blind have issued the following.
The report of the Blind-Shop for the
fiscal year ending April l, gives much en-
couragement to the workers for the blind.
The blind workers have shown great
spirit and energy, accomplishing a large
amount of work for the growing patronage
OF the shop. The demand for the products
of the shop has been very heavy and It has
taxed the labor of every working bllnd
man, to execute the orders OF their patrons;
IN fact, III the chair Gaming department.,
the business has taxed the capacity ot the
shop and occasioncd delay in delivering
work.
The balance sheet shows that all the de-
pariments have earned the labor and
material cost of operation. Total receipts
amount to Sl3, ,225.09; and total disburse-
ments of So, ,O5251 A bank obligation OF
$1,000 on account of a former building
operation was liquidated and improve
ments to the building amounting to 81
S74.I5, were completed. The total ac-
counts payable arc $l63.09.
The field work of the commission has
been pushed with vigor. I. j. Hall,
tblind), of FELTON,, has covered the lower
counties of this State with energy and
ability He made q canvass OF the state
during the summer and has been engaged
in 'follow-up" work and home teaching
Since that time blind cripple boy, re-
siding in Lewes, unable to attend school,
has made good progress at his home In
handcraft and reading A number OF new
, eases have been visited and encouraged TO
improve their altered condition in life. He
sent two young men to the Blind-Shop to
work and six children have been sent to
the schools for the blind at Philadelphia
and Baltimore.
There remain on the records only two
blind children in the State whose edt1ca-
tion should be provided for.
The urgent need of the Blind-Shop now
is more room to accommodate the incrcas-
cd business. The Gaming department is the
principle sufferer on this account. The
chairs are bulky and require dry storage,
while in the shop awaiting repair and de-
livery. This problem will be considered by
the commission at the annual meeting.
The wages paid TO the blind for work were
S5.O24 o. The looms made 63 whole floor
rugs, l,O09 small rugs and Ala yards OF
carpet, giving employment to one man
continuously and helper occasionally.
The cane shop re-seated 1885 chairs and
gave employment to eight men. The bas-
ket shop made % baskets and repaired
49l. giving eihptoNlithb W ofiS uh. FfIt
of the time. The broom shop made 440
dozen brooms and gave employment to
four men and one vender. The piano tun-
ing department tuned - pianos and gave
employment to one man part of the time.
The circulation of embossed books for the
blind was $50. to twelve readers.
The workers for the blind deeply re-
gret the death Of Neil Dougherty, aged
%, one OF the best workers at the Blind
Shop.
