IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.
WELFARE OF THE BLIND. DOMINION METHODS MODERN. AUCKLAND, Friday. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) In its broad principles the work for the blind in the Dominion was thoroughly modern, said Sir Clutha MacKenzle, Director of the New Zealand Institute for the Blind, on his return after six months abroad. Sir -Clutha said some of the magnificent grounds and buildings overseas made him envious. In the Dominion there was need for more <buildings and a higher standard of comfort and he hoped the money would be forthcoming from the public and. Government before long. On visits to Institutions for the blind in Britain, Switzerland and Italy, Sir Clutha found little that was new so far as method was concerned. British workshops were finding difficulty in marketing goods in the face of competition from maohine-made goods and goods made by sweated labour overesas. To keep blind people full of employment was essential to their happiness and health and he hoped the New Zealand public would buy the goods made by the Dominion blind.
