Blind Children To Learn Skating
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, August 20. A party of 12 children from the Foundation for the Blind will enter an exciting new world when they put on ice skates for the first time tomorrow. The children, aged from 11 to 15, will have a weekly session at the ice rink at the invitation of the management. The assistant-director of the foundation (Mr J. E. May) taid ice skating would be a considerable help in training in deportment and a valuable addition to ordinary physical training. Ice-skating had proved successful with blind children overseas.
