Book Description
Excerpt from The Blind in the United States: 1910 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on the blind in the United States in 1910. The material for this report was obtained in part at the general population census of 1910, at which the inclusion of a question regarding the existence of blindness made it possible to distinguish and tabulate for the blind as a separate class the data covering the subjects of sex, age, race, nativity, marital condition, and occupation. After that census was taken, in order to obtain data on subjects which, for the most part, had no significance except as related to blindness, a supplementary schedule was mailed to each person reported as blind. The questions on this schedule covered degree and cause of blindness, age when vision was lost, existence of blindness among relatives, education, economic status, and occupation before blindness. The data which were derived from the population census have previously been published in Bulletin 130, but the data derived from the supplementary schedules appear for the first time in the report herewith submitted. The report contains also a summary of the laws in the several states relating to the education and care of the blind and the prevention of blindness. This report was prepared in the Division of Revision and Results under the general direction of Joseph A. Hill, expert special agent. The analytical text is mainly the work of Reginald L. Brown, who also had immediate charge of the tabulation of the data. The bureau is indebted to Dr. Oscar Wilkinson, of Washington, for advice and assistance in classifying the returns relative to the causes of blindness. Dr. G. E. De Schweinitz, of Philadelphia, president of the American Ophthalmological Society, and Dr. E. G. Seibert, of Washington, kindly consented to examine the proof of the report. The bureau has reason to be gratified by their commendation of its work and at the same time is under obligations to them for some helpful criticisms and suggestions. As was the case at the census of 1900, the returns have been utilized not only for statistical purposes but also for supplying, upon request, lists of the blind enumerated in particular states or localities, including names, addresses, and other personal data, for the use of schools, libraries, workshops, or other institutions for the blind. In this way the bureau has, no doubt, been instrumental in extending the philanthropic work carried on by various public agencies in behalf of those afflicted with blindness.

Book Description
Excerpt from New York Adult Blind Clippings, 1913, Vol. 6 The New York Association for the Blind, which is not an association of the blind, has considerable contributed resources, and has done something in the Workshops line. In letters to vari: ous newspapers blind persons have severely criticised its methods, and Fthose methods have been warmly de fended by others. Few of the blind Ipersons seem to regard it as an ade quate substitute for a Statesystem with full responsibility to the State au thorities. The feeling, just 01° unjust, seems to be that it is not flexible enough to consider the personal trend and capacities of the pe1 son who 11 ants work, and the blind resent bitterly the notion that their affliction blots out in dividual aspiration.

Excerpt from The New Beacon, 1934, Vol. 18: A Magazine Devoted to the Interests of the Blind As, however, the department grew, the single winders were replaced by a Harrison three - spindle vertical hand winder, but the worker found the work too hard and the bobbins were unevenly wound, so the makers exchanged the machine for a similar one driven by an electric motor. This was satisfactory, but before long the machine could not keep pace with the requirements, so a, Harrison six-spindle horizontal electrically driven winder was purchased, using 13-inch bobbins, and the three-spindle machine with smaller bobbins was kept for special orders requiring small amounts of yarn of a particular colour. The same electric motor that drives the large winder also drives, by means of a countershaft, a teasel brushing machine for treating garments that need brushed wool. The winding arrangements are now most satisfactory, but the operator, being partially blind, needs more supervision than if she were sighted.

Excerpt from The Beacon, 1919, Vol. 3: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Interests of the Blind The Committee, appointed by the Govern ment in May, 1917, with Lord Northcliffe as Chairman, consisted of practically all our experts in aeronautics. Three main types of aircraft will be placed almost at once upon our aerial highways. First is the large passenger machine, seating 20 or more people in perfect comfort and driven by engines of nearly horse-power. These will travel, say between London and Paris, at 100 miles an hour. Then there is the express air mail machine. At 170 miles an hour, this would take a letter from London to Paris in an hour and a half. The third type of machine 'is the touring craft which will carry a pilot and three or four passengers with as much com fort as is provided in a modern touring motor car. All these machines are now being made ready. We are promised, indeed, a gradual growth of air-borne traffic until the whole of the high-speed transport of the world goes by way of the air.

Book Description
Excerpt from Anecdotes of the Blind I do not remember that I was ever quarrelsome, excepting on one occasion. On the contrary, I was of a gentle, perhaps a timid spirit. At the time of which I speak, my wrath was excited by a feeling of humanity. I was driving home a cow, and certain boys took the liberty to lapidate her. I stood up in defence of my cow, and returned their missiles, with in terest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Blind: From the English Cyclopaedia IN Great Britain and the islands of the British seas (exclusive of Ireland), there were totally blind persons at the time of the last census males, and females. Previous to 1851, no account had been taken of the number of the blind in Great Britain and Ireland, so that there are no means of ascertaining whether their number is increasing or decreasing relatively to the population. The numbers above given furnish a proportion of 1 in 975 in Great Britain, 1 in 979 in England and Wales, 1 in 960 in Scotland, and 1 in 837 in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. These proportions vary in different parts of the kingdom: in London the proportion is 1 in 1025, and it is nearly the same in the north midland, the south midland, the northern (including Yorkshire), and the south-eastern divisions of the kingdom; the west midland division presents us with 1 in 906; the eastern, 1 in 888; Wales, 1 in 847; and the south-western, 1 in 758; while the north western district Shows only 1 in 1167 the southern counties of Scotland, 1 in 1065; and the northern counties, 1 in 823.
