PLAN FOR HELPING THE BLIND Convention of Nebraska Association to Be Held Next Week. NEBRASKA HAS MODEL SCHOOL r radical Subject Are Taught Blind Men Plan to' Help Oat Their Leas Fortunate Brother. The Nebraska blind will not be last to organise to help their less fortunate mem bers. A convention of the Nebraska As sociation of Workers fui the Blind is Planned for June 18-21, to be held at Col lege View, Neb. This organization Is an outgrawth of the Alumni association of the Nebraska School for the Blind, the members being the Industrious blind men and womtn of Nebraska. The object of the association Is to con sider and promote the education, employ ment, advancement and general welfare of the blind. While Its membership is comparatively small, yet it Is felt by all interested in the' work that there is much soud to be done for the blind of Nebraska and that united effort cannot fall to result in permanent good. - 1 . It is questioned by those unacquainted with the needs of the blind. "What good can result from such united effort?" To the questioner we would reply there are niuny problems confronting . the blind man and woman today. . , . The real heart of humanity is growing larger and becoming more sensitive each . J ear as to the net-da of certain classes. MeV4r. before has there been so great a desire to assist the unfortunate. The problem is not how to bring certain conditions, but rather, what conditions are really needed. The needs being dls- ------------ ivri'wynfwyimwijui.

Little over I wo years ago a bund person s outlook was Indeed dark and disheartening, but far different are such conditions today. Schools for the education of the blind have been established In almost every state of, our grand nation. These schools represent the desire of the public to place the unfortunate individual on an equal footing with those who see. State Has Model School. Nebraska has a model school located at Nebraska City. We find as a result of this school a large number of active blind persons making good. The state has been liberal in lis appropriation to maintain this educational Institution where the young can go and receive training and fit themselves for useful ness. The Nebraska blind are united in expressing their gratitude and apprecia tion to the state for the advantages found at the school for the blind. Super intendent King and his corps of teachers are to be congratulated for the good work they are doing. The school Is one of the best. The following are some of the most successful: Dr. J. Ray Shlke is making good k a physician at Green field, la.; Mer Parish is a successful piano tuner at Beatrice, Neb.; Miss Claire Owen of Geneva, Neb.,- teaches sight music in the public schools; E. C. Cook Is a graduate of the Nebraska School for the Blind, and has taught mathematics in that school for a number of years; "lark Bruce is also a graduate of the same school. He has charge of the in dustrial department and us a result of lils untiring efforts a number of blind tuners are making good in the state. ' It is only just to suppose that having established such institutions, and " the products of such achols having become Inspired to succeed, there should be even greater thought given to the subject The student completing his course In the school for the blind, where he has been cared for and shielded from any respon sibility is turned out into a big world that he has never learned to know as It actually exists. Ills way has probably been made to appear smooth, 'and even flowery, but a very brief Introduction Is sufficient to convince him that his early Impression was erroneous. The association therefore, endeavors to assist such per sona in securing and ucceedlng in some honorable and remunerative employment whereby he may become self-supporting;. Blind people are capable of doing more than their sighted friends, or even they themselves can realise. It is along usch lines that the association directs its work. Practical Subjects Taocht. Such subjects as successful stock rais ing, domestic science, piano tuning, and ether equally important questions are thoroughly discussed. Experiences of successful blind business men are re ceived and considered. At the June meeting1 the association will be addressed by Charles F. F. Camp bell of Columbus, O.l .who will suggest methods whereby greater good can be accomplished for the association. Arrangements are being made for a public address to be given by Mr. Camp bell In College View some time during his visit to the association. The public will be, Invited to come and hear Mr. Campbell's Btory, of the great work he Is doing in America for the blind. Mr. Campbell has recently been chosen to act as executive agent for the Ohio com mission for the blind. This commission, which was first organized in 1908, has started to develop Its work for the em ployment of the blind. Vntll very recently only small appropriations for this commission had been granted and it has been difficult for the best work to be accomplished, but the last general assembly allowed the commission a suf ficient appropriation that It has been possible to take steps toward the accom plishment of constructive work along In dustrial lines and to further the enthusi astic campaign for the prevention of blindness. As a first step In this di rection the commission has secured the services of Mr. Campbell as their execu tive agent! Char,les F. V. Campbell is the son of Sir Francis Campbell, the blind founder of the Royal Normal College for the Blind of Kngland, and who has been one of the foremost leaders in work for the blind during th last fifty years. The son, Churles, was born in his father's school and except for the time when he received his education at the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology has always been asso ciated with the blind. For several years prior to his call to the Ohio commission Mr. Campbell served in a similar capacity for the Massachusetts Commission for the Wind. He was at one time the head of Its Industrial department. He has given much time to investigating processes of work In an endeavor to find new in dustries for the blind and will be remem bered as the pioneer in seeking for posi tions for the blind, side by side with the seeing. He is also the first to experiment with the hand-weaving of art fabrics and developed the modern arts and craft hand-woven rug as an industry for the blind. Since the question or employment for blind women Is of such great impor tance, Mr. Campbell, realizing that the opportunities for blind women are even more limited than those for blind men, is endeavoring to ascertain the names of blind women who can sew, knit or crochet, and to see to it that they are provided with the raw material at the lowest pos sible cost and that finally, after their work Is completed, they may have ready market and thus be encouraged to work and thereby make life bright and worth living It is hoped that all interested parties will watch the papers for the announce ment of Mr. Campbell's coming to College View and avail themselves of the oppor tunity to hear him without cost Officers of the Nebraska association are: Pr. J. Ray Shlke. president; Mrs. J G. Beck, vice president; Lyle Harris, secretary and treasurer. echoes of the ante-room Workmen and Degree of Honor Will Observe Floral Day.

SMOOTH TALKER IN ACTION Bunch of Kentucky Rnatle Strong by an Oklahoma Wind jammer. A man with a big voice and an abund ance of nerve, blew Into Hopkinsvllle oil an adverse wind recently, mounted a soap, box on the public square and disclosed the philanthropic intention of giving away forty town lots in a fast-growing town in Oklahoma. The proposition at tracted the immediate attention of al most everybody that happened to be within half a mile of the scene of action. As a variation from the somewhat trite oratory of the average patent medicine vender, who wears long hair and has a remedy for everything, the populace deemed it worth while to listen. ' Everybody knows there are fast-growing towns in Oklahoma, but the future city described by the affable stranger had them all beaten anywhere from a city block to a rural quarter section. It was, he said, a county seat, and had. four railroads running Into it and several others headed that way and hurrying up construction to meet the metropolis half way or thereabouts as It spread out over the surrounding territory. Merely for purposes of advertising, forty valuable' lots are to be distributed not sold, but absolutely given away and as the crowd was large the distribution was made by the lottery plan. All the suc cessful participants in the drawing were required to do was to put up $4.50 apiece to cover the cost of preparing the deeds and having them recorded. ' The forty men Who drew "prises" naturally excited the envy of their less fortunate fellow citizens. Most of them paid the four-and-a-half, but a few cautious ones decided to "let George do It" and passed their Oklahoma prospects over to friends who were ready and more than willing to take a chance. One man who drew a lot was somewhat dubious of the prospects of the future great and wrote a letter to the county clerk to find out If Ills newly acquired property "was worth paying taxes on. The information he received from that official was Illuminating. The county clerk's response was, In part, as follows: "Replying to your letter of 23d inst, regarding your Oakland City property, In the first place you are stung. It Is not the county seat and hasn't any rail roads. "It is a townsite some grafter started and is located four miles from the near est railroad and is on top of the Poteau mountain. "It Is a skin ganfe from start to finish and I would not pay the taxes on it for all you have. "If I was in your place I would not even be to the expense of having my deed recorded, for it is not worth It." There are several men In Hopkinsvllle who would like to interview the orator with the big voice and 'he probably would fare badly if anyone of them met him In a dark alley and saw him first. But the man of persuasive tongue and , pro gressive philanthropy is on his way and doubtless is finding it much easier to give away lots than to sell gold bricks or counterfeit money. Louisville Courier-Journal. Key to the Situation Bee Advertising:. T. Women who bear children and re main healthy are those who prepare thehy systems In advance of baby's coming. Unless the mother aids nature in its pre-natal work the crisis ' finds her system unequal to the de mands made upon It, and she is often left with weakened health or chronic ailments. No remedy is so truly a help to nature as Mother's Friend, and no expectant mother should fall to use it It relieves the pain and discomfort caused by the strain on the ligaments, makes pliant and elas tic those fibres and muscles which nature is expanding, prevents numb ness of limbs, and soothes the inflam mation of breast glands. The system being thus prepared by Mother's Friend dispels the fear that the crisis may not be safely met Mother's Friend assures a speedy and complete recovery for the mother, and she if left a healthy woman to enjoy the rearing of her child.
