Ijoutloii, Apri! H.-One of tho deep? cyi personal tragedies of the? war as brcught heme tn ?ho British people ls thc leng list of young Loldiers and sailors who have lost their eye-sight! in the conflict. At St. Dunstan's Moss-< toi for Blinded Soldiers -.?ntl Sailor.? lhere are ut present about 120 stu dents, officers and men, representing Canada, langland, Australia, New Z.va lund and Belgium. in nd ill-ton there ;ire ?i number <?i men in annexes at Brighton and Torquay whos-3 wounds thus tar have prevented their taking up work nt St. Dunstan's. Never before in British history have so many young men who ara other wise able-hoUlel been brought togeth er in thc hclple.? nlate or hlinduc.-<p, j and Hie problem of handling them is j entirely different from tint presented Mi s home ; *. people who nave losi their E-'gllt, through disease or like causes, and new method** muL'i Lo ap-1 plied lo meet the situation. St. 'Dunstan's itself is a place of beauty and full of historie Interest. ! Once tin? villa o!' the third marque . of Hartford, 'tho "Steyne" of Vanity Fair, it is now the landon home of Otto Kuhn, Hie American financier, who has loaned it to thc blinded Sol diers and Sailors Care committee, un der. thc' chairmanship of I". Arthur Pearson, widely known as a publisher, fand president of the National institute 'Or thq'bllnd. About the spacious vil li! aro fifteen acres of well kept lawns, trees end shrubbery. An arm cf Re gent's Park Luke runs into the grounds, thus affording fac'UL'es for Louting. All thia ls at the disposal of the blind men and they haye boca sm rounded by an atmosphere that ls distinctly homelike . ] Mr. Pearson, a man of magno:!c pcrscaaliiy and tho moving spirit ot the hostel, lort his &'ght a few years ago and thc bright ph.'osophy of life which he Imo developed1 tor him self prevades thc place. Mr. Pear sons theory of conducting St. Dun stan's was expressed by him *.o a re p: jsentr-tlve of Tho. A-nociat^d Press thus: "The main endeavor here is to ge'. Into tho minds of the blinded men tht root pil?ic'.pie that they are handi capped, not afflicted. The latter word Is ui?d far too freely in connec tion with blind folk. Toll a man that ho is afflicted and his mtntul ou.look on life will bear that stamp. Rut tell him lie is handicapped and if he is a Kcof' lc Hew at heart his sporting rpirit will aiscrt himself Itself and he will adopt all tho means that xv~ shown b?an to enable him to catch u<p v:-'? h tho fellows to whom circum stances have given a start." Since the school work at St. Dun stau'f began, thirty-five men have been graduated, having learned ono or more occupations, such as boot re paving, mariage, rnat-mak?ng, basket making, joinery, poultry farming und market gardening. Virtually all ot thc:-,! men read and write Braille and tyvpc-wr't with tho ordinary machine. All aro now said to d>3 cirning good incoraoa. ' There are 72 teachers, all but 12 Cf thom voluntary, and each pupil hat, individual instruction. .Many of the Ini/.Micters themselves aro tJind. "The fooling c.* helpfulness wh'ch over whelms' a strong, healthy, newly blinded man," t.'.ild Mr. Pearson, '".hi incredibly relived when he finds that thc ono who ls to instruct him in some profitable employment '3 suffering from thc same handicap as hinvjolf." I Tho working day 's divided be ! J wen. the Otaos rooms, workshops and ji ain?igv?chools so that each mari uc- > ^vlrcn aa nil round educat'on. All i the students learn to read and write Braille^, ami some of them arc study ing miljie'. A number of men have learned: tho ttimcult -art of reading with thb finger tips In two weeks. Seventy three , have passel tho type writing lest, which means that they can write a letter without mistake at a fair rate ct epeed. When a man passT- iiS? cram'-cation he receives a prlie cf a typewriter. One of the most remarkable fea tures of the school ifs the progress be ing made by some of the men in learn ing Draille c'.iorthand. They operate on a little machine of seven keys which punches the characters on a strip of paper. These ch a rac tars lat er can be read with the finger t'p3 and transcribed on the typewriter. Sev?ral of the men who were secre taries before Join ag ^ the army are learning shorthand and typing for the purpose of resuming their former work. iv'.' - * In the shena men who have never handled teals adopt quickly. A few wee ku practice enables many of them to. acquire such skill that the articles they produce are salable. Door-mats, baskets of every sheco and sise, book cases, picture-frames and many other things ore turned out in the work rooms with accuracy and finish. Near the workshops '"a tae poultry farm where those men who desire to live in the country aro taught pouUry keepingi and sirop'.e market gardening. The men quickly become proficient, learning : to distinguish the different breeds of fowl, to tell the weight of a bird, to manage incubators, and all the test that goes with poultry rafe-. .lng.

Primary tn ..vuct?on in amviomy and physiology ss given at tho hostel, and when the primary ?tage is passed tuition is con tinued in <tho massage department at the National Institute for tho Blind. Among die students in the m aw.-: .ige department is Clutha Mackenzie, son of Sir Thomas Mackcnrdo, high com? missioner of New Zealand. Clutha Mackenzie ls hardly moro than a toy, but ho has accepted the Inevi table cheerfully and is studying as siduously to muster tho ways of the kingdom of darkness. He is not one one of many Interesting young men among the students1. The average duration of training ut *3t. Dunstan's is probajly about six months. When tho men leave the hostel gTeat cart ls taken to soo that they settle in suitable localises where the work they have ?elected can bo pursued. Their training placen them ia a posit'on of comparative indepen dence, for in addition to what they cali eui ii they receive pensions of about it; a week, and more in tho caso o' nc n-cotnmtss'onc il officer.1.'. Mr. Pearson state I that tho Nation al Instituto for the Blind has stained a special branch which bus for lin object the after-care of blinded sol diers and sailors.
