WORK FOR THE BLIND.
NEW ZEALAND METHODS. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 30. In its broad (principles, work fox- the blind in the Dominion was thoroughly modern, said iSir Clutha Mackenzie (director of the New Zealand Institute for the Blind) on his return after six months abroad. Some of the magnificent grounds and buildings overseas made him envious, he said. In the Dominion there was need for more buildings and a higher standard of comfort. He hoped the money would be forthcoming from the public and the Government before long. On his visits to institutions for the blind" in Britain, Switzerland, and Italy, Sir Clutha found little that was new as far as method was concerned. British workshops were finding difficulty in marketing goods in the face cf competition of machine-made goods, and goods made by sweated labour overseas. To keep blind people in full employment was essential to their happiness and health, and he hoped that the New Zealand public would buy goods made by the Dominion blind.
