At the Convention of the ' American Association of Workers for the blind in Philadelphia in June, one of the delegates read a paper on Home Teaching of the Adult Blind. Mr. Gardiner, Prin- cipal of the Ontario Institution for the Education of the Blind.

When a grown person loses his 'sight through accident or' disease. he should be taught at once to read with his fingers. Sitting in darkness and idleness is enough to make any one despondent, but with the ability to read a book one can pass the time very com- fortably. The task of learning to read occupies the mind and pre- vents the blind person from brooding over his misfortune. Having overcome the difficulty of learning to read without sight. the blind man gains faith in himself; he believes that he can do various kinds of work, and with patience and determination he finds that belief is justified.
