Show I HOW TO AID THE BLIND TEACHER The work of love of the children of the Sub-High school, in carrying to their old teacher and his large family of helpless little ones, a message of good cher, has aroused more interest than any other effort at charity in the past year Since the boys and girls have taken up the task of bettor providing for tho afflicted family, many suggestions of relief havo come to the Standard. The attention of the Carnegie commission com-mission is to bo directed to the case ag one worthy of receiving aid from the fund set aside for pensioning teachers. If the response is not favorable, fa-vorable, another method of bestowing permanent assistance has been offered of-fered by .Mrs. L. E. Bouschell, 1470 Calhoun avenue, which should win support. Mrs. Beuschell inquires if a movement move-ment to establish tho blind man and his family on n small piece of land near Mob Hill, could be successfully worked out. Yes, with a few energetic women enlisted In the worthy cause, and the school children assisting. Mrs. Beuschell's :lan is to buy a fow lots on the eastern outskirts of the city, within the Irrigated district, build a small home, provido the fnm-lly fnm-lly with a cow and chickens, and then invite the father, mother and little ones to release themselves from the position of dependents. This plan would require a comparatively compara-tively large outlay to begin with, but, in the long run, would be less expensive expen-sive than the doling- out of a mere pittance that In a few years would aggregate more than the cost of a home, leaving the recipients of the dribbling charity as, helpless as when thoy were first discovered to be in need of succor. oo . |
