Committee for Men Blinded In Battle
Make Appeal for Publications of
More Booke n Raised Type AYr
aflo Novel It Done In Braille for
101,10O Active Readers Use One
Library for the Blind In New York.
All over the country an amazing In
crease Is noted by librarians In the
demand for books for the blind, ac
cording to n recent statement of the
secretary of the Committee for Men
Blinded In Battle, which makes its
headqunrters at 111 East Fifty-ninth
street, New York, which is making an
appeal for the publication of mora
books In raised type. This, It Is
pointed out, Is not only due to the fact
that the United States now has scores
of war blind, but also to the gi owing
desire of the blind to make the widest
possible use of the public libraries
where such books are obtalnnble free.
The revised Braille, says the com
mittee, generally adopted ns, a stand
ard two years ago, Is beginning to be
niorc widely fctudled and used by the
kfghtless. Textbook and educational
matter no longer fill almost the entire
Held of books offered for the blind
render, which was the case at oue
tltnc. The blind reader now has be
fore him an ever-Increasing number
of story books of all kinds. The total
figure of raised letter books published
yearly Is placed at approximately 2Tfi,
and of this number n large percentage
now cater to the entertainment of the
reader.
Emboldened by the Increasing num
ber of titles In the field of modem
fiction nnd verse, appeals have now
been made, says the secretary, ot
only for more Dickens and Walter
Scott and Duudet, but ulsofor more
Charles M. Schwub and II. C. Witwer.
The last named, whose books are re
plete with modern slnug, received a
letter tlfe other day written la revised
Braille by a blind girl, asking for the
early publication In raised letter of bis
new book, "The Leather Pushers." Mr.
Witwer was very much Interested aud
caused his answer to be done Into
Braille also. "The Mirrors of Was.
ltigton" has recently been asked for
by some who are Interested In political
gossip, who have read the London
prototype of the book.
Revised Braille Widely Used.
It Is thd opinion of tho Committee
for Men Blinded in Battle that re
vised Braille will probably In time
supersede all other forms of hand rend
ing In this country, with the excep
tion of one other sort of raised print,
which Is formed In Imitation of the
actual Kugllsh alphabet. )'or those
w)io lose their sight after they have
learned to read this last is, In muny
cases, the easiest kind of touch letter
to learn.
"'The blind have a greater Interest
in libraries than nny other class be
cause the distribution of raised letter
books la of necessity In most cases
free. They are quite costly to make
and their circulation la not large. The
average popular novel coats about $10
to produce in Brntllc, and yet on day
recently three of the four copies of a
popular novel were out when request
y'as made for It nt the library here,"
said tho secretary.
"'Miss Lucille Goldthwalte, In charge
of, the Library for the Il(tnd In the
New York Public library, whlc,h hit
thc largest collection of works In the
Braille system In the United States.
Nays that there Is a tremendous need
for piore books In raised type for
blind readers.
At the Library for tho Blind In the
big Central building on Fifth avenue,
New York, It was said that blind per
sons read the same kind of hooks that
hewing people read that Is, speaking
In quantity, fiction first and other
classes following. A popular book, If
uun-flctlon class, like Jaules' "I'sy
chology," Is popular, likewise, with
blind readers. In the early days ot
books for the blind tho prevalent Idea
was to try to give them none but rell
gibus works, to the exclusion of all
other literature.' However, us tho li
brarian pointed out, naturally, "thej
like religious books no more aud no
less than the rest of us."
' The material which the library can
)uy Is very limited. That Is to say
the actual amount of material avail
able In Braille Is J I in I toil. Blind read
era are greatly In need of more books
of all sorts. It takes three or foui
big volumes to muke one novel the wa
these ralsed-type books are printed
which accounts for the high cost, It
was pointed out.
1,100 Blind Utid Library,
Active readers to the number ot
1,100 used the Library for the Blind
In the Central building during 1020,
the circulation of books for the year

music readers, and the library also uf

to. study all embossed magazines and
alt magntlnea lu ink print relating to
work with the blind,
