Embossed or raised printing for the blind became a possibility during the latter part of the 18th century. Today there are two systems, the Braille and the Moon Type, which are in standard use for finger reading by the blind. Braille is also used for transcription of music and may be adapted to any lanâ€" guage. The Moon system, on the other hand, is intended for the use of aged blind persons who find this form quite simple for finger reading. The Library collection of maâ€" terial for the blind is quite repreâ€" sentative in the field of literature, ranging from the Bible, science, drama, travel and history to mysâ€" tery, western and historical novels, and many contemporary works. Books play an important role in the lives of blind readers. Reading is one of the most independent pleasures that they enjoy. Through the advancement of special educaâ€" tion and an increase in the supply of books, it has become possible for the sightless to overcome obâ€" stacles which have retarded the recognition of their abilities in the past. y North Shore Congregation Israel Sunday, May 15, 2:30 p.m. Reâ€" ception at Temple Lounge honorâ€" ing Dr. Herman Weil. onl Sunday evening, May 8: "Armâ€" chair Voyage" to Palestine.
