The annual report gives the financial statement for the year with all details, and the various reports of officers and stafft. ‘"There has beemâ€"a gratifying improvement in the flWon of the Institute dunng "‘it is stated: © There wére 12,546{ rsons in Canada last year, a slight decrease from the previous year. Nearly a third of them were in Oxntario. There were 30,055 men, women and children regisâ€" tered as "prevention of blindness" cases. Statistics are given of the services given all requiring help by the Institute. This is all interesting and informative, but the chief interest of the booklet rests in its brilliant reviews of. different phases of the work. For instance here "It is not my intention to attempt an a.na.lysis of figures relating to employâ€" ment.and earnings, but I would like to call attertion to one figure â€" 1,080 blind Canadian men ard women were employed through Institute channels at the end cf the year which has jJust come to a close. Twentyâ€"five years ago there wore a few blind piano tuners and basket makers of whom there is no accurate record, but whose number was very small and whose earnings could not have asgregated more than a few thousand dollars. Now, there are alâ€" most cleven hundred ‘blind people emâ€" ployed and last vear they earned over one million deliars. If thar one startlâ€" ing fact was the only accomplishment to which our Institute couid point it would, in my opinion, be sufficient to prove the troamendous change which has been wrought in the lives of Canada‘s blird by THe Canadian Naâ€" ticnal Institute for the Plind." A special rage in the report is devoted to "The Library." The Library has 23, 302 Rraille books, 12,8005 records, Durâ€" ing the year there were 29412 books on loan and 58,113 resords.
