QUARANTINED BLIND BOYS
TO HAVE MERRY CHRISTMAS
Dozen Youths at Overlook School
Will Enjoy Feast, Tree and Fun

Amid all the hustle of going home
for the holidays, one of the boys at
the Pennsylvania Institute for the In
struction Of the Blind had to get the
measles-so he and a dozen of his COM
ranions must spend the jolly season at
the school in Overbrook. But their
Christmas will be n merry ons. with n
great big tree. stockings-or socks hung
up. n regular Santa Claus-and n more
than regular turkey dinner.
Again a wonder-worder how the
mind of blind child pictures SANITY
they have never seen red or white or
fat. Would they be surprised if they
saw the jolly elf in all his glory? or
had they pictured him gayer in their
minds than any man, even Chris, could
ever be?
Then there is a radio out there-just
three days old-and the boys can work
It like veterans. SO concerts and solos
will be their share.
