When ho clicks the spring1 j lock of his office door and hies him to his home at Newton Center, Westchester, Grosse Pointe, Forest Lake or Contra Costa, he leaves his work behind him. The farmer must live close to his work. Yet, it isn't entirely necessary constantly to have the plow, the cornfield, or the stable staring him in the face. In pioneer days, before the advent of labor-saving machinery and methods, where man's work was from sunrise to sunset, and woman's work was never done, it did not i make much difference, and the farmj buildings were placed where they j could he closest to the hou<e.

It is the sane orinciple as! that which forbids talking "shop" during social hoars. Every woman j knows the comfort of a nook where she can rest without seeing the kitchen sink or the cook stove.

Sometimes it can be | done by rearrangement of the small-1 o'* huildinirs, the nig sty, or the, chicken coop, and often all that is' necessary is a little thought given to the planting of hedges and other! shrubbery. The barn probably is a fixture, considering high buildings and mov1 ing costs, but very often its un-; sightly features can be screened with a hedge, wire, or lattice fence,, or vines which may bo dug out of j the woods.

BLIND CHILDREN TAUGHT TO READ !n Mew York Schoo' It's Hard to Distinguish Blind From More Fortuante. < l?y Mary Armstrong, in the X. Evening Post.* They arc studying? side by side in some schools?those with eyes and those who use their finger-tips instead?and the marvel of it is that you can rarely distinguish them by look ing through the record book. For where ever special provision is made for assisting the blind it is found that they not only keep abreast of their class mates but usually rank above the average in scholarship. The Wadliegh and DeWitt Clinton high schools have spccial arrangements for giving these pupils just enough help to smooth out the rough places as they go along, and they welcome boys and girls who wish to have the privilege of studying with normal pupils. Every effort pu' forth to develop their independence, however, and they are expected to fulfill the regular requirement* and to participate in outside activities j wherever possible. There is only one way to appreciate what this keeping up with the unhandicapped means. It is to close vour eves tirrht and live your ov n hi?*h school life over again. What wou'd vou have been ablo to <lo in the geometry class, wh?re the work <1 ma" \y ^ee'ng reh'l i- n^hi:> between parts of figures'* Ov in the studying of biology, where a knowledg? of pennvns is essential? Or in the ' 'story class, where one n*u-:t usr* maps t-> visualise important event *? Close co-operation between the sp~ eia' teacher assigned to the blind and the regular teacher is needed to make the project practical, but when ! this entente has been established the ! nunils have little difficulty in masi'^r ! ing all the preschibed work. Hoth at ; DeWitt, Clinton and Wad lei gh, I where the blind pupils range from i first term to post-graduate classes, all are in good standing and show lrre.'it interest in school affairs. At Wadleigh the visitor found some girls interested in home management, ad- j vanced botany, and sanitation, withj definite intentions of becoming home | teachers after graduation. ! "My girls are better than many of ; the sighted pupils, for they have no j distractions, and are unusually alert J and dilligent," explained Miss Louise E. Maver, the teacher in charge of the work with the blind at Wadleigh. "And as they are always cheerful and appreciative the other girls consider it a privilege be ab'? to help them whenever they can." During their study periods the special pupils report to Miss Mayer's room, where, either under her direct! supervision or working with pupil j 'volunteer*, they unravel the compli-j cations of the assigned lessons. Each j girl is expert in using her Hraille1 ! writer (a machine operated iiko ; jtypewriter for writing the raised j code, as well as an ordinary type-' wr;ter. which Hie uses l>v mean** of; the t ouch system. In their o?vn room J ithe twirls use these instruments freely1 without distu'binr the other nup;ls,j and prepare their homework with ease i 'and skill. One g*irl v. as workimr independont!ly on an original ^eomehy prob'em i when the visitor entered. On he" dtwk lav a piece of cardl>oard on which was; i pricked an efiui'ateral triangle lettered in Braille. The original test had been submitted to Miss Mavcr by tho class teacher, and the 'att?r's parr ihad been to put it in'o r- :,m foi* the : handicapped |?u nil. With deftness which made the observer blush at tho j memory of her own strunfp'es with ' ^"' "inals" the giH attacker! her , problem and soon had it neat'v f*\|rounded by means of the Braille writer. Another was studying biology. vith the help of a follow student. Two Uu-tfe cushions wcro spread before iher, 011 which the mysteries of a j vertebra and the eye of a frog; were j graphically diagramed with p'lij heads. While text.-; of all subjects are furnished in the Braille, such 11 illustrative material a- this is supjplemented by the ingenuity of the |< inl teacher. .Many small papier ache relief maps for history work i tare supplied to the individual stu j.'ep.t. while much u <e of the physio'Uraphy globe is also encouraged. Th'? literature and language cour" ses present real difficulties in con! nection with supplementary reading, according to Miss Mayer, sine1 a 'he books required are not available I in the Braille. The heaviest part of I tl.is work, however, is shouldered by t the New YorV Association of tlu Bl'nd, better known as the "lighthouse," which fur 11 i hes volunteei s readers for those who come aftei f school f<>r special help. In this wa' r> the pupils are enabled to cover al1 i'|theJr outside reading within the re''Kiuired time. ' . In the classroom the. blind girlf ' I u'fitn nn their nnrlrr>1 . :i nr> r j'jforated metal device somewhat broat ' ifir than an ordinary ruler, throupfl " which they prick their paper with i small stylus. While not so convenient as the Braille writer, the pockel slate is more practical for classroon [. use than the bulkier instrument, am with this the pupils write their as a jsi^nments and answer tests. Th' y |teacher gives the papers to Mis i. I Mayer, who interlines them in Eng * llish and returns them for final cor ^ rection. n i When the regents' examination: are held the tests are transcribed in |to Braille first and the pupils worl in their special room, where the\ have the use of the Braille writer am is typewriter.
