“TALKING BOOKS”
FOR THE WAR BLIND. ANGLO-AMERICAN LIBRARY. RESEARCH AT ST. DUNSTAN’S. (United Pa-ess Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received April 9, 8.35 a.m. LONDON, April 8. Research work at St. Dunstan’s Institute for the Blind has led to a decision to make an extensive test of “talking books.” These will supply the reading aloud of a number of classics either through earphones or loudspeakers. The production of a library of talking books is being planned for use throughout the Empire and in the United States, particularly for those who were blinded as a result of war service. Those who were born blind will continue to learn Braille.
