J 879. u Entered at the post omce at Wilmette, !lllnols, mall matter of the second class, under the act many people are being carried from place to place in various sorts of hahv carriages. In iact this age seems to us thr carry age. After arising as the result of some artitlcial stimulant-alarm clock or getting-up hell- we walk around a little while preparing to meet the exacting world. Then we slide down the stairs to breakfast. .\ fter breakfast many of us are carried to the train. a few blocks awaY, in a thicklY cushioned automobile. The~ train carrie~~ us to the wicked city, and there arc many who arc carried thet;ce to their offices. in taxis. :\rriving in the office \\'e at once sit down; moye . about a little at noon and in the evening reverse the morning procedure. \Ve get soft. fat and ftahhy. The wa1l s of our arteries harden and a stroke carrie s us off. \\' e are irritated when our employe s. domestic and otherwise . and our cars. re fuse to wurk. But it's a good thing for u ~. It make~ us do more \\·ork. \Ye have to carry ourselves around and that promote s digestion, assimilation, respiration and other vital processes heretofore neglected. Hescue the perishing while Yet there's a chance! T oo Baby Carriages KNOW of no work for the blind that goes so far in the direction of their development artd the happiness produced by such development as the study courses offered by the Hadley Correspondence School fo.r the Blind. Doubtless there are many efforts. m{)re or less organized. to ameliorate the condition of the hlind. to help them .overcome the handicap which lack of sight imposes; but the Correspondence School courses have for their object the training and strengthening of those powers whose exercise brings satisfaction and a sense of service to society. The growth in numbers of the student s and of the courses taken testif1 e s un111istakably to the appeal made by the School a,nd also testifies to the value of the work . The blind want to study and gro,,·. \VIla t is good for the sighted ·is good for the blind; and it is surpris.i ng what. a very slight difference the lack of sight make~~ . 11 uch of what the sighted individual perceives 1vith his visual organs is perceived. appreciated, and understood hy the blind with .o ther organs. u~ing unr eye~ so much we are scarcely able to comprehend the· great scope of the other sense organs. ] low wide a · use is made of the auditon· and cutaneous organs by the blind can naturally not easily be imagined by the pe rson \\' ho sees.

On the east is the Lake. On the north and south are neighboring towns. The only way open for expansion is t(n\'ard the setting sun. \\ 'ilmette has already annexed a big slice of · land to the "·est, reaching out so far as to overlap land claimed hy Cknview. \·ery interesting evidence that \\ ilmette is s11reading rapidly west ward is found in the fact d 1; 1~ ,,·hile 63 percent of school children frum six tu t \\·t·nty-onc years of age live east of the trarks. more than 57 percent of the children under six years of age live west of the tracks. I lu\r long will it he before 60 per ccn t of the Yery young children will be living west of the Ridge? Kenil\\'orth is building west to the Ridg-e and in no very long time will have no a vailable area into which to ~tretrh out. Can :hi. community arrange to get land \\·est of the Ridge? . Winnetka is spreading out over the Skokie~ Altnost every piece of land east of the railroads is occupied. 'l'ht same ts true of Glencoe. l\lorcover, the Skokie branch of the north shore line will soon be filling the country through which it runs, with hundreds of new homes. Th~ big problem then, for all these towns is to see to it that this rapid expansi,on is not only rapid but also healthful and of benefit to all concerned. 01{ the public good, many rc:-- trict ions must be made which work a certain amount of hardship to many people .
