PLEA FOR §25,000 BY BLIND WORKERS Columbia Polytechnic _Insli- tute Plans an E_nlargement of Facilities. Columbia Polytechnic Institute for the Blind is planning to raise a fund “of $23.000 for increasing facilities of s the Blind Adult Workshop, 1808 H street northwest, and to pay off the mortgage indebtedness that each year requires the payment of several hun- The Polytechnic Institute occupies a unique place among the institutions in that its province is not to dispense charity but to provide for self-respecting blind adults who desire to retain their independence by earning their , livelihood. The institute was established in 1898 | by the late F. E. Cleveland, a blind attorney. who saw the need and rallied to his support a number of influential men and women, who aided him greatly in placing the work upon a sound and practical basis. The institute has for years/ been making life more worth the living for + these afflicted ones by conducting a practical workshop and providing employment in chair caneing, broom making, hammock making, piano and typewriting instruction and similar branches. Rules for Admisston. s applying for em- ployment are received ta_the limit of workshop's _capacity and funds When applicants are not familiar with broom making they are taught how to do the work and while they are being taught they receive the same salary as later, when they are proficient worker: The salary paid is not large, seven dollars a week to each employe. but it is sufficient to assure the workers being able to pay their board in their own -hostes, and to have the content- ment ‘ahd joy of home life with their d. tute for the SUMMER OUTING CAMPS CALL FOR D. C. CHILDREN Swimming Hole at Good Will Is Safe and Electric Lights Will Be Added Feature. Camp Good Will in Rock Creek Park, and Camp Pleasant. at Blue Plains, D. C., are being prepared for the coming season, which will open June 25. The swimming hole at the Rock Creek Park camp has been pro- nounced safe and the youngsters will be able to take their daily dip, which has always been one of the great- est joys of the camp. One of the new features at Rhis camp will be electric ' lights, the installation of which is being paid for by the sum- mer outings committee of the navy yard. Camp. Pleasant will also have elec- tricity, which is being installed by the electrical department of Howard University, as a donatilon from the university. The Camp Pleasant com- mittee of the navy yard has given @ big recreation pavilion, which will be used for the first time Juné 28. Dr. Joseph Murphy, chief sanitary inspector of the public schools, who has . given his service for several years, will again have charge of the medical inspection of the camps. He is planning to continue the nutrition classes for undernourished children which were started at the camp last year. Applications are being received daily at Social Service House, 923 H street. The summer outings com- mittee hopes that the public will respond generously to the appeal now being sent out so that mhne of those who apply will be .turned away on account of lack of funds. 15 G.
