Tells of Advantages
OF Maryland School for the Blind.


To the Editor Of The Star:
In a few weeks, thousands of Mary
land boys and girls will be returning to
their schools. Maryland is generous
with its educational opportunities, but
do all of its citizens take advantage of
them? How many people realize that at
Overlea, just seven miles from the
center of Baltimore, is situated one of
the finest schools for the blind in this
country?
The Maryland School for the Blind Is
boarding school, conducted on the cot
tage family plan. there being cottage
for the younger boys, one for the older
boys, one for the younger girls and one
for the older girls, in each of which is
a housemother, housekeeper, cook and
several teachers. Every effort is made
to keep the cottages homelike so that
the pupils will feel that they belong to
them. Teachers living in the cottages
are in charge of a table at meal times.
In this way they help the pupils culti-
vate certain social qualities that are
necessary and important.
If the parents cannot afford to pay, the
school provides free education for chill
dren of Maryland and the District of
Columbia who have defective eyesight
and cannot progress satisfactorily in
the public schools Tuition, board, room
and laundry, medicine and medical at
nd on Nt hor
necessary for the education are fur
nisned. Students from other States may
be admitted on payment of $500.
Children may enter at the age of five
in order to attend the kindergarten. The
educational program cares for the childs
needs through the first 10 years of his
academic training. The last two years
of bis high school course generally is
obtained at one of the high schools in
Baltimore.
The grounds are spacious and beauti-
full. Some is in woodland but good
portion of the 100 acres is given over to
the raising of vegetables and fruits
which add much to the we'll balanced
meals served the pupils
buildings for the Department of Colored
Blind and Deaf. The same opportuni-
ties are given these pupils with addi-
tional training in shoe repairing, press
ing, laundry, etc, which are trades open
to the deaf The school endeavors to
give all its pupils the type of education
which will suit the individual needs of
the pupils.
If any one knows of blind or deaf chill
dren who are not attending school,
please write Francis M. Andrews, su-
perintendent of the Maryland School
for the Blind Overlea, Md, for he is
anxious to have the school serve the
people of this State. Should a child
live in the District of Columbia, make
application to Robert L. Haycock, first
assistant superintendent. public schools
of the District of Columbia, Franklin
Administration Building Visitors are
always welcome at the school. x.

But this idea is not entirely
modern" In the huge and beau
tiful Mosque of st. Sophia
which was rebuilt away back in
the ninth century in what was
then the city of Constantinople-
there is always a pleasant odor
that reaches the nostrils of every
worshipper and every visitor to
the masterpiece Of religious archi-
lecture.
This lovely scent does not come
from any of the mosques gor-
geous vessels il is built-in
smell which was the inspiration
Of some construction engineer al
most ten centuries ago. II has
been learned that a particularly
fragrant kind of musk was mixed
with the mortar which holds the
ancient stones Of the edifice to-
gether
Perhaps fragrance as well as
streamlining will find it's way in
to the specifications of many a
modern" building to be built
after peace comes once more.

-HE architects of today
some of them, at least
have come a long way from
the ancient and medieval types
Of design which are looked upon
as classic"
They have broken away from
the grandeur of Gothic cathe-
drals and from the gingerbread
frills of the Victorian era. They
have streamlined office buildings,
factories and homes. And. al
ready, plans are more or less
complete for the much-publicized
City of the Future with its glass
walled skyscrapers and triple
decked highways.
Now and then some architect
breaks out with an idea for in
jecting more beauty and estheti-
cism into the structures in which
we live and work These men
talk Of glass bricks rejecting
every shade of the rainbow and
trick lighting which will be as
easy on the spirit as 1t is on the
eyes.

youthful students Of French
learn a lot about personal pro-
nouns and the lenses of verbs.
For example. they pair up and
say I'VE are the dogs. We
guarded the house" Then some
of the youngsters become human
visitors to the make-believe zoo
and explain the setup to some
Of their fellow students who play
the part of their children.
During one such game. which
may last less than an hour, an
American boy or girl learns more
French-and remembers what he
learns-than he could in a week
of porting over a book.
Another of the pictures on this
page shows what DR.. Gonda
calls THE Restaurant Came"
She has found this an ideal way
to teach the many French words
which have to do with the serv-
ing and eating of food. Some
times the boys and girls are ac-
tually served typical French
dishes, which satisfy their APP
petites as well as their urge for
education.
Some of the pupils are guests
and some are walters. II is the
walters job to explain-in good
French-what is on the bill of
fare. And the diners have to
make themselves plainly under
stood-also in French.
1t is surprising how much
French, learned in previous
games. comes out at these in.
formal little Mncheons.
Educators call this way OF
teaching The Dramatic Method
and the system is used for GER
tain subjects in several schools
here and there around the
country-but nowhere more in
terestingly and successfully than
in the Bronxville public school
where French is exciting fun.

To them, thanks to the imagi-
nation and ability of their
teacher. DR.. Lii Gonda, French
is not dry, boring and difficult
subject but a fascinating game.
They even play their way
through the most complicated
rules Of French grammar.
Take. for example. the photo
graph in the upper left hand cor
ner of the page. 1t doesn't look
much like a class of youngsters
engaged in the serious business
of mastering a language other
than their own. But that's ex-
actly what they're doing This
is their teachers way of teach
ing them the names and charac-
teristics of familiar animals.

The lesson opens with parade
in which the youngsters wear

winds up in a tableau during
which the youngsters act the
part of the animals they are imi-

Similar simple speeches still
in French--are made by boys and
girls who are playing at being

supervises the pleasant little
drama and corrects any mistakes
in grammar or pronunciation.
