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."
