THE FRIENDS OT THE BLND.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—ln regard to the decisioi of the friends of the blind at Dunedin I hive a few words to say. After the noble eflrt that was made in Auckland and the largesutn of money raised, I fondly hoped the Siithera provinces would have united in rising a national institution _ -worthy of th great colony we believe this will become. Ihose who seek to divide the funds which culd be raised by united efforts are not truefriendg to the suffering blind. A large otlay in mechanical arrangements is necesiry to make an industrious institution of tts kind successful, and to fritter away the mans at our disposal by divided workshops scttered over the colony, and consequently vcy few qualified teachers at any one centre, 'ill all tend to minimise the good results thahvould otherwise follow. Ido trust our friads at Dunedin will review their action, ad see their way to set aside local jealouy and unite in this grand effort to do good.-I am, etc., Joseph Uewian. Auckland, April 7, 1891.
