Our experience with these whom light cannot affect as it does almost everybody else, leads us to believe Education for that the blind have an the Blind even stronger longing for education than their seeing brothers and sisters. At least, their gratitude seems stronger. In order to appreciate with any degree · of accuracy just how much the Hadley Correspondence school is doing for the blind, one must first try to understand their litnitati01is. It is not enough to note that they are blind. If you would understand and feel to son1e degree in what kind of a world the blind live,, close y.our own eyes and then try to find your way about. Keep jhis up until you begin to '" gain a little proficiency in living. Ho\v do you feel? \Veil, that's somewhat as the blind feel. The blind want no sympathy. Only the beggar wears the sign, "Pity the poor blind." The self-respecting bljnd detest just as much as does the nonnal sighted such attitudes on the part of others as patronizing pity. In fact we know a blind girl who does not in the slightest degree believe that she is handicapped. Does the ordinary man believe that his faults and defects handicap hin1 in the labor of living? We think not. Nor does the blind man feel himself limited. What the blind person wants is what every sane person wants, nan1ely, a chance to improve himself. Give him a equal chance to better himself and he asks nothing more. Let him go to school and exercise his powers along side the sighted and he fells that he has been tr~ated justly. The Hadley Correspondence School gives . just this opportunity to the blind. There .are correspondence schools for the sighted. There is a correspondence school for the blind. The only difference so far as we can see is that many of the correspondence schools for the sighted are not merely selfsupporting and even bring in a profit for their owners, whereas the Hadley Correspondence School stands in real need of lar,g e financial support. · While we are summering in the arms, or on the lap of nature-take your choiceothers are working either for money or for learning. We congratulate those who are going to summer school. When the end of the term comes they will find themselves ahead of their classmates who have spent the summer vacationing. The summer's work will take them appreciably nearer their goal. Summer schools offer unusual chances for the ambitious and energetic. During the sumtner there often comes an excessively torrid day . . The air, surcharged 'w ith moisture, cannot absorb the dampness perspiring through your The Lake as pores, and so it accumulates on the surface of a, Cooler your body ,t o y.our great discon1fort. A fan helps a little .but · not n1uch. · In fact if you are operating the fan the effort calls out even n1ore dampness. If you are a <hveller in an inland town you can do nothing to get relief. If convention would allow you to reduce yourself to a state of nature you might disrobe and lie under the sprinkler ori the fro·n t Ia wn. But certain modesties must be observed. So you continue to sweat. On the North Shore, however, recourse may be had to the good old lake. It is our great summer cooler. A few minutes' subtnersion in its refreshing waters is enough to banish the most oppressive results of sun1mer's extremes. vVhen you're hunting for a cooler, try the lake. vVe note by the papers that the Winnetka Boy Scouts have joined the North Shore Area, thus becoming members of that larger a s s o c i a t i o n which now includes Inter ..Community the scouts of pracScout Life tically all the villages north of Chicago. By so doing the 'Vinnetka Scouts have cotne into what we believe will be for them very profitable relations. Just as individuals can not be really full-rounded indiYiduals until they become n1embers of a comtnunity, so a group like the Winnetka Scouts coul~ not have functioned most efficiently outstde of the larger organization. · Scout troops which are members of the North Shore Area enjoy advantages because of their membership in the larg-er group. Their horizons are widened, their point of view is raised to include a great number of boys engaged in the same activities as themselves. What their fellowmembers learn is shared with them. Like a state that is a member of a Union, they both receive and give. - SHORE LINES It Matten Little Tired of the noisy city, Of the surging, busy throng; LoJJging to play For one brief day To the tune of a different song. Longing for flowery hilltops, To feel and know the joy That comes to youth Through the heart of tru,th, ·And belongs to each litlle boy. For his was the life of a newsboy, Bom amid toil and strife; . Had fate been unkind When she had assigned To him such a sordid life! But the world is in need of ncu.,sboys, And the world is in need of the rich; Whet~ our summons come From the Holy One It will matter little which. And whether Otte be a newsboy Or a King, in the end 'tis tlze same, So do your part With a steadfast heart, A11d smilingly play the game. -Olivia Kingsley The boys in the shop contributed this little number to the· Shore Lines out of sheer pity for the Line conductor. You know, the back-shop is that incorrigible place where they talk about pieeyed types and tieing up forms and all that sort of thing without even blushing. Well, maybe this is the reason, let them explain themselves. Oh! We're tough, that tough, Thre Bowery is nothing for usWe're looking for trouble this evening, And we'll stick till we get it, it seems. Oh! We're game, that game, As the saying, .,We're up to snuff"; We'll sleep on the table, in barroom or stable, For we're tough, that tough. The girls in the Bowery ain't very much, When taken by themselves, they ain't worth a cuss; We're bullet proof, fireproof, proof that we've brain, We tell you that we're hot stuff. Just a Gypsy 1 .U y song -is of the open road, A.t the head of a recent Illinois Telephone ad ts a rather engaging picture showing a man and a woman standing before a window. He is apparently a telephone lineman, and she is j~tst a~ apparently the lady of the house. W tth hts nght thumb he is endeavoring to call the attention of the lady t,o a man outside who is about to remove something from a covered truck. Why the man inside wants to have the lady note what's going on outside is hard to say. She regards the actions of her genial companion with rather calm, though none the less marked, disdain. Perhaps he's telling her that a telephone is soon to be installed in her home. But little does she care. We notice that the name, Miami Road, in the Indian Hill estates has been chanf!ed to Romona Road. Does this change reflect the late slump in Florida land values, or have a group of those who love the American Indian settled in these estates? Don't ask us. .
