CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO BLIND CHILDREN. Sir, —T beg .the liberty of your columns (o express to the children of your district the sincere 1 honks of the Trustees of the Jubilee Institute for the Blind, end of the children under their care, for their most generous Christmas gift to the Institute school. The sum of one penny each was suggested and the children responded so magnificently that the total present from the Dominion amounts to nearly CJOO. This is to be spent in eqniqping the school with additional material essential to the education of the blind —typewriters, Braille machines, relief globe and maps, Braille literature and so on. Mr. Frank Norriis of Maslerton kindly organised the appeal; and Education Boards readily co-oper-ated. To them, too, we express our warm thanks. A touching feature of the response was the fact* that so many contributors were accompanied by charming messages of sympathy, hope and goodwill to the little children of the blind world. —Yours very truly, CLUTIIA N. MACKENZIE. Director.
