Show thero are departments for piano tuning, tun-ing, cane work, basket work, typewriting typewrit-ing and other accomplishments available avail-able to tho blind, that enable tho students to help support themselves in arter life. The only thing taught in the Ogden school, It is Btatod, is the reading and writing of braille, and music. . In the biennial report of Mr. Drlggs, which was sent back after It was submitted sub-mitted recently, because It was addressed ad-dressed to Governor Spry Instead of to Governor Cutler, the fact is set forth that for each vear In school $500 Is required re-quired for each blind student. Outside pupils are required to pay $250. To this the members of the association object, because they do not believe tho people j of Utah should pay out the extra $250 to train persons from outside the state. If tho student from outside pays $250 and the cost for the schooling of a student stu-dent is $500, the people of Utah have to make up the extra $250. Another thing to which the members of the Western association object strongly is the. library system. Tho legislature several years ago appropriated appropri-ated $500 to establish a free braille library li-brary for the blind of Utah. Tills library li-brary has been fitted up and is being used in conjunction with tho school. It Is alleged that the library is very poorly managed. One blind man of tho city stated this morning that he wrote several times to Ogdcn for a book before be-fore it was forthcoming. By a United States postal act all embossed em-bossed or braille literature Is mailable in the United States free of .ill postal charges. This makes no expense in the sending of the books. In most states a catalogue of books is kept. Upon application of a blind person of the state the catalogue list is started. A two-weeks' limit is placed upon each book. When one is read and sent back, the next one on the catalogue cata-logue list Is sent without further asking. ask-ing. This continues down the catalogue cata-logue list Here, It is declared to be impossible to get one book, lot along a series. The members of tho Western association asso-ciation ask that a librarian be placed in charge of the books and that a system sys-tem be adopted before another appropriation appro-priation of $500 is made in compliance with a request in Mr. Driggs report. The Connecticut blind school system is held up as a model. There every possible pos-sible courtesy Is shown tho blind. At the school all classes of students are given three years' training in any branch of industry desired. At the conclusion con-clusion of the school work the student is given $200 with which to start in business. In Utah there are about 120 adult blind. They desire to have rectified the wrongs" which they allege are in vogue in Ogden. The matter of an industrial in-dustrial school In the city, no doubt, w ill be one of the many to be discussed by the legislature this' year. The Western West-ern association is out in force for the new institution, and hopes to receive some satisfaction when the time comes. The members were yesterday given every ev-ery assurance of support by Governor Spry. DEAF AND BLIND SCHOOL. Thero seems to be a persistent ef-forl ef-forl to break down and discredit the Mate schools located in Ogden. Under Un-der the heading. "Utah's Adult Blind At-ii Reforms at Ogden School," the fc-alt Lake Telegram prints an attack on tho school for tho Deaf and Blind, which,- in view of the fact that a similar sim-ilar assault is being made on the Industrial In-dustrial school under the pretext ot establishing "detention homes," forces the conclusion that thero is a concerted concert-ed move to rob this city of its state institutions, or, by greatly reducing their state allowances, deprive them of that fostering care to which they are entitled, and, therefore, eventually eventual-ly destroy them. The criticism in the Telegram, to which an answer will bo published, is os follows: A' move to build an industrial school for the adult blind of tho state was launched at a meeting of a number of prominent blind people of the city in Gov. William Spry's office jesterday afternoon. The necessities of a new in stltution were placed before the chief executive of the state in a forcible manner and It is probably that the matter will find Its way Into the discussions dis-cussions of the next legislature. The move for a new school is the outcome, to a large extent, of dissatisfaction dissatis-faction on the part of the blind over the present school for the deaf and blind, and the library for the blind, both of which institutions are in Ogden. Og-den. Improper management and class discrimination are charged by a number num-ber of the blind hero against Frank Drlgg3, who is at the head of the two institutions. 1 The matter of tho management of tho Ogden school has been brought up on several occasions before the meetings of the Wostern Association for the Blind, but as yet no united action ac-tion has been taken. Individuals, however, how-ever, have charged that mismanagement mismanage-ment in tho school has become chronic. The protest on claes discrimination at the school is to the effect that the blind are being neglected; that tho school is conducted almost solely for the benefit of the mutes. Just what is the reason for this alleged al-leged Inefficiency is not certain. Mem-that Mem-that officials of the school are Jealous that officials of the school arwo Jealous of the association and that this has occasioned oc-casioned more or less discrimination. But tho greater part of it is due. they say, to the fact that the needs of the blind aro not known. They assert that members of the board of control are awaro of the needs of the mutes, but aro at a loss when it comes to determining deter-mining the needs of the blind. For Instance, a short time ago an appropriation ap-propriation was made for tho erection of a gymnasium at this school. This was built and equipped, It is said, in such a manner that It was fit only for the mutes. To the blind It is valueless. Thla la also said to be true of the workshops. work-shops. The blind are also finding fault with the doings within the school. It Is alleged al-leged that there aro no industries taught. In tho schools of other Btates |
