INSTITUTE FOR BLIND. ba&ketwlrb and> mats. A local committee, as on other occasions, has undertaken charge of a space well stacked with articles manufactured by inmates of the Jubilee Institute’ for the Blind. The goods displayed are for sale, and the reason for this is that the output of the blind workers is increasing and a wider market must be found. The workers are increasing in number and many of them are becoming -more expert. To show to how much greater an extent the blind workers are becoming self-supporting through their efforts in the institute workshops the records may he quoted. In the past five years the annual output has increased in value from £2466 to £7-500, and last year wages and salaries paid to blind people at the institute amounted to well over £SOOO. “Help the blind to 'help themselves” is a slogan which has a double meaning. In the first place many blind people are dependent upon the sale of their work for their living; secondly, “to the blind occupation brings happiness,” therefore patrons, of the stall under notice will find that they get excellent) value for their money and have the ] added satisfaction qf feeling they are conferring material and mental benefit upon those who, deprived of the blessing of sight, bravely strive to- live, independent and useful lives despite this great handicap. As the director of the institute puts it tersely, “the sale of the goods means work, wages and happiness to these brave people.” If any particular article may be sold out, the members of the committee will be pleased to take orders for later delivery.
