INSTITUTE FOR BLIND
“TALKING BOOKS” TESTED. INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) 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, cither 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 by those who were blinded as a result of war service.
Those who were born blind will continue to learn Braille.
