Francis J. Cummings, Blind Student,
Makes Good At University
Report OF Delaware Commission of the Blind Gives In.
terestng ACCOMPLISHMENT Encourages Higher
Education for Blind



Few persons here in Newark real
lze that there was blind student en-
rolled at the University of Delaware
last term.
This student who is making every
effort to overcome one of life's biggest
obstacles was Francis J. Cummings,
of Wilmington.
In the Thirteenth Annual Report of
the Delaware Commission for the
Blind an interesting review of this
young mans accomplishments is
given.
The review in part follows:
Francis ]. Cummings the Blind
Student at the University Of Dela-
ware, has just finished his fresh
man year with perfect marks with
one excpetion, which was next to
perfect. He has the appreciation Of
his preceptors. Francis Cummings is
the first blind student to enter this
seat of learning, it was therefore a
great problem to know if he could
manage his course. He has written
an account of his experience which we
print on the following page and
should be found most interesting. The
solution of these problems of the blind
when thrown for the first time among
their normal fellows and professors
who have not had previous experience
with this class, is quite remarkable
and extremely pleasing.
THAT Francis Cummings is popu-
lar with his fellow students is shown
that he has been nominated for elec-
tion to the Students Council, and
initiated into the Blue Lantern So
clety. He has been invited to join q
class in his Junior year to visit Paris
and study in the great Universities
there, for which he will receive credit
at the University of Delaware. All
interested in Francis are desirous in
giving him this great opportunity to
perfect and broaden his education.
The kind consideration of the faculty
and the touching helpfulness of fell
low students which aided him in his
brave struggle for success against
great difficulty are a great salts
faction to the Commission for the
Blind and others interested in the
progress of our promising protege.
Young Cummings writes for the re-
port the following:
Before | entered the University Of
Delaware, / could not determine what
difficulties blind person might en-
counter in acquiring higher education. /
| had resolved that whatever OBJ
stacles presented themselves l should
obviate. Of course, l was concerned
as to how this was to be done. The
first and most important of these diff
ficulties was the securing of a reader;
that is, someone who could read to
me all the textbooks that l could not |
procure in raised characters. Upon
my arrival at the University Of Del
aware, l mentioned to some of the |
students that l should need reader.
On the following day, one of these
students came into my room and Of
fered to accept the responsibility of
reading to me. l fully realized, how
ever, that in order to do ample justice
to the study of foreign languages, it
would be necessary to have in Braille
The required textbooks. l Immediate

WASHINGTON, Sept. Aft all

Capper did some plain talking.

against militarism than to require the
men who profit out of war to pay

On the question of forcing the col

Protests Because of High Prices on
City Market.

To the Editor Of The Times
have been reading in your paper
that there are large crops of small
fruits and vegetables in the country,
but on account of the high freight
rates the consumers must pay extra
high prices. Your paper added that
commission men are buying only &C.
lected shipments and many producers
are not realizing the cost Of produc-
ton on crops shipped into market.
Do you, Mr.. Editor, believe this
statement to be a fact? Certainly
it seems unreasonable to mo. I go
to the Indianapolis city market and
try to buy from the so-called pro
ducers' stands there. and yet their
prices are even higher than asked
by the retail grocery stores in my
neighborhood. for fruits and vege-
tables that appear TO me TO be any
thing but select. Yet there are no
freight charges to pay in bringing
this stuff into the city market. most
Of the producers living within a few
miles Of the city.
OF course, Mr. Editor. know II
Is human to sell fruits and produce
for all the market will bring. but If
the wholesale prices are so much less
elsewhere. and in fact are below cost
Of production, why must the city OF
Indianapolis pay the enormous over
head OF a city market in order to
fatten the pocketbooks OF those pro
ducers? Have you ever heard Of
fruits and vegetables being cheaper
on the city market except just about
the closing hour. when to avoid hav-
ing spoiled produce on their bands.

never did. l think it IS time tho
Indianapolis people were cutting OF
the cost OF the public market. which
does so little toward keeping prices
