CHRISTMAS GIFT TO BLIND CHILDREN.
CTo the Editor.! Sirl beg the liberty of your columns to express to the children of your district the sincere thanks of - the trustees of .the Jubilee Institute for the Blind, and of the children under their care, for their most generous Christmas gift to the Institute children. The sum of one penny each was suggested, and the children have responded so magnificently that the , , total present from the school children-.; ■of the Dominion amounts to nearly £3OO. This is to be spent in equipping the school with addition,al material essential to the education of the blind —typewriter, Braille machines, relief globe and maps, Braille literature, and so on, Mr Frank Norris, of Mastertou, jiindly organised the appeal, and edttcation boards readily co-operated. To them, too, we express our warm thanks. A touching feature of the responsc was the fact that so many contributions were accompanied by . charming messages of sympathy, hope, and goodwill to the little children of < the blind world. CLUTHA N. MACKENZIE, Director.
