Education Workshop Takes Field Trip
To Nebraska School for Blind
Monday, July 19, the special ed
ucation workshop of Teachers col
lege made a field trip to the Ne
braska School for the Blind at
Nebraska City. This is the sec
ond trip made this summer for
the purpose of studying the pres
ent resources that are being and
can be utilised in a special edu
cation program for the physically
handicapped child; the first trip
was made to the Orthopedic hos
pital. Guests of the Nebraska School
for the Blind were: Professor D.
A. Worcester, director of the
workshop group; Professor Leroy
T. Laase, co-instructor, Mr. Ray
Taibl, supervisor of special edu
cation for the state of Nebraska;
Mrs. Ray Taibl, field agent for
the Nebraska societies for crrppled
children; Mr. Harry Hines, direc
tor for the state department of
the blind; and Mrs. Harry Hines.
The teachers were: Miss Mary
Andersen, Lincoln; Milrae Ander
- Bon, Aberdeen, South Dakota; Mrs.
Orlethia Abbott, Alliance, Ne
braska; Joan Kinnie, Grand Is
land; Mary Moodie, West Point;
Betty Chipman, Omaha, Mrs. Alta
Reade, Plattsmouth; Mrs. Mary
Sorenson, Lincoln; and Betty van
Velzen, Alliance.
The New Look
"The Nebraska School for the
Blind takes on 'the New Look,' "
says the Workshop group. Anti
quated walls, windows and dark
halls are fast becoming just a
memory. Gone are the days of
the old drop-cord poorly illumi
nated rooms. The udaptive illu
mination of the new sight-saving
room is the highlight of the "New
Look," and no doubt will be the
beginning of a "new way" of life
for those who live in partial
darkness. This new method of
lighting embodies all principles of
optimum illumination for the
needs of the individual child. The
soft pastel painted walls, the light
streamlined adjustable desks, the
natural color and neutral floors,
the non-glare blackboards and
the shaded windows to eliminate

any glare are all a part of the
new program to provide vision
for studying purposes for the par
tially seeing. This one modernized
room affords quite a contrast to
the remaining classrooms.
Replacement
Modern equipment is gradually
taking the place of worn-out and
out-moded facilities.' Wire record
ing machines are used for the
transcriptions of important les
sons and other information which
can be recorded and played back
to the blind listener. In this man
ner the learning is hastened. It
would take several hours for a
student to read the same infor
mation by the Braille method.
However, Braille is still the only
method of teaching reading and
arithmetic to the blind.
The Talking Book has been ob
tained for the purposes of giving
the blfnd student experiences
otherwise unknown to them. Rec
ords may be secured from the
Library of Congress. Mr. W. G.
McMillen, superintendent of the
school, demonstrated the use of
the records by playing one which
was designed to give the blind
children experiences of the farm.
McMillen has many more ideas
that he wants to work out in
improving the training and ex
periences of these blind children
and people. It will take time,

Disabled Vets to Get Mileage
For Vocational Rehabilitation
Veterans Administration now
may pay a mileage allowance to
disabled veterans authorized to
travel for vocational rehabilita
tion purposes.
Public Law 660, 80th congress,
granted VA this authority.
The law allows veterans train
ing under the Vocational Reha
bilitation Act (Public Law 16) to
choose either of two methods of
reimbursement for travel costs.
They may receive an allowance
based on the mileage traveled or
they may receive the actual ex
penses of such travel, including
lodging and subsistence.
Attendants needed by the vet
erans during authorized travel
may be reimbursed on a similar
basis.
Previously, VA was allowed to
pay only the actual expenses in
curred by travel performed for
these purposes.
The methods of payment now
.luthorized for vocational rehabili
tation travel are the same that
VA used in the past to pay vet
erans for authorized travel per
formed only for medical exam
ination and treatment.
